The July 1988 Fundamentalist Journal (Falwell’s publication) used the old “make a living” v. “how to live” mantra.
No, they didn’t get it from Bob Sr. Everybody got it from Booker T. Washington.

Tumblr media
Your idea of a Saturday night well spent wasn’t squeezing through a sea of sweaty backs; but like many things in your life, it wasn’t up to you, because you were easily swayed. Everything was overstimulating, the waves of bodies on bodies that pulsated and threw you between different poses and balances to keep on your feet, the ringing of laughter, of music, of every sound echoing in your head, around your body, vibrating through your very core. The smell of liquor and drunken antics and that one guy puking in the corner made you sick. But somehow, you were here, spurred on by peer pressure friendship and goodwill, trudging through the blackened room to your target; the snack table. 
Dina, your roommate, and determinant best friend held a firm hand on the small of your back, pushing you through the crowd and causing a small jolt to run down your body as she steered you around every obstacle and corner in the room. She was a woman on a mission, and the one who dragged you out of bed, convincing you - against your better judgment- that it was fatal that you accompanied her to a frat party. You knew she was good-natured, and your first friend when you moved 500 miles away from home to college. It was an instant click, but you were opposite best friends. 
Dina, ever the social butterfly, had connections in all different spaces; she could party with the sorority girls –hold the coke, please,– out-cram everyone, even the National Honor Society kids, all the way to the top of the class, hell, she was on the damn debate team, which was probably why it wasn’t a struggle to get a ‘yes’ out of you. You, on the other hand, were uncomfortable at bars, school sporting events, and parties, and one time you even thre– fuck, never mind. It was all effortless to her, in almost an enviable way. Dina loved to go clubbing, loved to hang, out, and she had been near-begging you to come out with her and her cool friends for months, not that you’re not cool, I mean. 
And somehow, despite everything, it worked. 
You could almost remember how you got there if you put away the sticky crunch of coke sticking to your shoes with each step, and reached back into the recesses of your mind. Or at least, back three-and-a-half hours ago. 
“They’re all great people, no weirdos, promise!” 
It was the emphatic plea made to you as you lay on your bed, queuing up the next episode of the apocalypse show you watched each week, watching her make Dina list off every reason why you just had to follow her out tonight. It was clearly very life-or-death shit to her, but you were unconvinced. It was just a party but there was going to be a smaller, more intimate kickback in a friend-of-a-friend’s basement. She was in the middle of getting ready, sitting at her school-issue desk and looking at herself in the mirror, dark hair coned over her head in a bun as she sat in deep concentration, words slurred and simple as she applied mascara, her mouth slacked into an O position.
“So you’re gonna like, fucking go, yeah?”
She said it as though it was obvious, like it wasn’t a question, but one look at you, –curled up in covers, laptop on chest, martini glass pajama pants and teddy bear teeshirt ON, unbothered– showed her that it would be a tall order, and that big guns would be needed. 
“Not interested, sorry.” 
“Not even a tinyyyyy bit?” Dina squeezed her fingers together for emphasis, throwing her head back in mock exhaust, a theatric groan rumbling out of her throat. “Not even a little bit.” You echoed, your roommate cutting her eye at you through her handheld mirror, but it was what it was. You weren’t into all of that stuff; the bump and grind of sweaty bodies wasn’t alluring, listening to someone else’s shitty music at ear-bleeding levels felt like hell, and if you wanted to get pitifully drunk and throw up all over yourself, there was a garbage can right under your bed. But your friend really, really, wanted your company and it made you feel, really, really bad to always blow her off. 
“Why are you going so hard on this?” You bemused as you propped up on your elbows, watching as she stalked around the room in her newly painted face, quickly rummaging through her drawer for a spare outfit. 
“Maybe because it bums me out to see my super cool roommate wasting away in her dorm every weekend?” In Dina’s mind, she was making a lot of sense. She was waiting for you to chime in, to say you know what, Dee? You’re right, I get it. But instead, you stared blankly, and she threw down her arms in exasperation. “You’re in fucking college, man! You don’t even wanna have one night of fun?”  She punctuated the ‘fucking’ with a wild gesture around her head, which made you chuckle to yourself.
“I mean, I was planning on wa–”
Your body was jostled by an insane amount of weight, almost turned completely over by two roughhousing dudes– a mess of limbs and arms, who looked at you and then at each other, as though they had spontaneously sobered up. You didn’t even have the time to start to be angry when they prattled off a blended, slurred apology and thrashed somewhere away through the mass of hands and faces in the dark room.
Fucking assholes, ruining the flashback sequence. 
The room was lit only by haphazard mood lights; soft LEDs and gaudy, flickering Christmas baubles, a solitary television, camped by stoners who laughed madly, and the dim auburn glow of the odd ceiling lamp nestled in the far back of the house. You were out of your element; you couldn’t dance, weren’t the most social, and even though you were with a friend, all of this made you feel very alone.
Dina cut through the crowd with her elbow, bellowing out “Ex–cuse me!” while she pushed you through gaps as they formed. Her voice fell to mutter again, barely audible, chunked and cut by the music bouncing from wall to wall, grumbling that she had places to be, and if E*&^$ didn’t get her off at least once, there would be hell to pay.  She was determined to get to the other side of the room, where it was arranged that by the chips, as smokers usually are, she would find her current fuckbuddy and her friends, waiting to hotbox and pregame a bit more before the room peaked. She was driven by horniness and selfishness, as one typically is after four shots of Tito’s vodka, and getting smoked out and ‘taken care of’ upstairs was half the reason she even came.
You’d never met her most recent suitor, and the question of her girlfriend was always met with a ‘no, she’s just my sneaky link.’ but you didn’t question it enough to know more. She was just the girl who Dina would go off campus to meet, and as long as she wasn’t a slasher, and her pre-rolls knocked you on your ass, it would be what it was. You were carried away by your friend’s excitement, by her heavy hand nearly lifting you off of your feet as she beelined to the kitchen, wrangling your twin bodies every which way. 
“Ellie! Ellie!” She yelled, jumping up and down a bit to compensate for her voice being swallowed by the bass. She burrowed through the wave, pushing you towards a girl leaning against the sink, nursing a red cup and low, hazy eyes. Her auburn hair was swallowed by a black docker, and a dark-coloured backpack jutted out from behind her as she smiled and waved the two of you –mostly Dina, into her orbit. She looped her head under your shoulder to be pulled into the strong hug of firm biceps, and Arms looked you over, offering a friendly nod. 
“It’s on streaming. You can watch ‘Many of Them’ literally whenever!”
“Live tweeting is a part of the experience.” You chided matter-of-factly, sitting up cross-legged. It wasn’t like the brunette was wrong, exactly, but you couldn’t give up too much at once. Going soft was not a part of the plan.
“Fuck, whatever– You know the girl I’ve been hooking up with, right?” Her eyebrow raised at your dispassionate ‘not really.’ “Well you know her fucking joints, she sells– weed, shrooms… pills?” Dina listed off with her finger, mulling over the last detail for a second, then confirming in her head with a nod. It’s fine, you’re cool, and the two of you had always bonded over your love of recreational joy anyways. “So, if you wanna smoke orsomething– I got you, all you have to do is show up.” Her hands were up almost sheepishly as she tested the waters, but you weren’t super convinced, and your idea of fun wasn’t exactly playing wingman while she got tongue-fucked by a drug dealer, and the pregnant pause was enough to cue her into having to bring out the big guns. 
“-And, and!  I'll wash all our dishes, and cleanyoursideoftheroomforaweek.” 
Damn, she practically ran through that last part, so under her breath you knew she was hoping that you didn’t hear. But you did, and for a second you could almost see a smirk play on her face as your eyes lit up. She was always up for a good bribe, and even though she would act annoyed, it was great for breaking you out of your shell. She would offer to watch the zombie show if you came out to the bars in your college town with her, pizza if you confessed to your crush instead of instastalking them three times a day, even though it didn’t work, –oh well, shooters shoot– and tonight? A week free from chores if you just spent a couple of hours in your own personal hell. Yeah, you would give her this one. 
“Now we’re talking. If you want someone to be the lookout while you and Jesse Pinkman go at it, who am I to deny?” You teased, kicking your legs over the edge of the bed. 
Your roommate craned her head up, momentarily stopping her mission of rifling through her clothes. “Who said that?”
“You’re in your ‘good panty’ drawer.” You whispered cheekily. 
“Well, you got me. Someone has to get fucked around here.”
“Oh fuck you, bitch!” You laughed, throwing your pillow, hitting smack in the center of her chest. 
Dina bounced around the room, practically billowing with glee. There was a descending, barely audible ‘fuck yeah’ as she traipsed down the hall towards the bathroom, rounding the corner and disappearing from your periphery. 
“By the way, you know Jesse’s last name is Huang, right, not Pinkman? And we’re uh– not together anymore.” Dina shouted through the silence.
“That’s a character from Breaking Bad. It was a joke– because he’s a drug de–” You stopped yourself midway. “Never mind. It’s not funny if I explain it.”
“Oh– I never watched Breaking Bad. Too Long.” She deadpanned. You chuckled to yourself, shaking your head as you slid your way off the bed. 
That’s how you found yourself in a dimly lit bathroom, missing the comfort of your memories as ‘Ellie’ rolled a blunt. You stood leaning against the door and Dina sat on the closed toilet seat. The dealer sealed the last of the leaf with a flick of the tongue and a lick of spit, maintaining direct eye contact with Dina so she could not-so-subtly show off. She passed it to the brunette first, who mimed a cheeky, ‘why thank you’ and drew poutily. You three sat there for a while, smoking and talking, steam from the hot shower wafting above your heads as music pumped through the foundation of the house. 
There was laughter outside of the door and it soon became awkward for you, Ellie and Dina finishing the blunt, –you were a lightweight– and chatting idly as Dina traced a fingertip against the outline of the tattoo Ellie was showing off. 
The temperature of the tiny room ran hotter between their reddened eyes, and it was as though you were being banished by a galactic force. You couldn’t mistake how the red-haired girl’s glance caught an extra second or so at the way Dina’s body was hugged just right in her party dress, cleavage strained against the fuchsia PVC of her neckline, and how she bit the corner of her lip when her eyes hooked on a dark mole on Dina’s breast that was framed by the feathers of her black hair.  
It was time to go, unless you were interested in seeing your best friend get dug out on the countertop.
You were already a little bit wobbly, hearing a giggle that slipped from Dina’s lips morph into a squeak as you slipped out of the crack you pulled in the door and into the fray, getting carried down the stairs and back over to the drinks. You crossed over a kissing couple, cutting into their makeout and heavy petting session, and through a huddled together group of girls whispering something about seeing an ex across the room. 
You gripped onto the countertop for stability when you finally broke free from the pulsating wave of bodies. There was a bit of everything surfing in deep bowls of ice and water, open bags of chips and snacks bunched up together on the island. You could not be sober for this shit. You wedged up the pop cap on a hard seltzer and brought it to your lips, the spirit coating your tongue and boiling its way into your stomach. There it was again, the familiar warm feeling in your hands and feet, the soft pressure already creeping across the flat of your face. Yeah, now that was it. The anxiety began to melt away, and you leaned against the countertop, flexing your legs. 
Wow, they’re inviting giants to the shindig too. You laughed to yourself as the scarlet-lit ocean parted, and a tall, wide figure walked through and into the darkness of a descending flight of stairs. If only it was that easy when you needed to piss, notwithstanding that you had already been in the bathroom.
 It’s fun being sardonic sometimes. 
Out of the corner of your eye, you could see your roommate coming down the stairs, the dealer’s deft fingers pulling down part of her dress that rode up her ass.  She arched her head up, straining left and right like the eye of a submarine as she looked for you; her eyes lit up, waving to you as she fisted her companion’s belt loop, bouldering through the sea of people. She was high as fuck, if her bright pink eyes were enough to speak to it, and your gaze lingered over the new expanse of a deep purplish hickey on her neck, small indents from teeth glimmering with saliva in the light.  
There was that hotness again that burned in the pit of your stomach, not from drunkenness or anxiety, but the can of fruity liquor in your hand covered up for the embarrassing flush of your wild cherry-coloured cheeks. You peeled your eyes back up to her face and smiled dumbly. You’d never had *that* before. You’ve watched things before at least, and obviously, touched yourself to the thought, but you’ve never had someone to fool around with in bathrooms or hold your skirt when it rode up.
There was your first kiss, but it was in middle school, so it didn't count. It was all clammy lips, two noses that couldn’t get the space between them *quite* right, and an overzealous set of chompers that left you with a bloody lip. Actual horseshit, but somehow, a core memory. It was annoying in a way, how it just didn’t come to you, but you wanted to be wanted. To be lusted over, desired even in that casual touchy way that simmered between your best friend and the girl you didn’t know very well.  Dina was making grabby hands at you, wide-eyed and bushy-tailed. Your drink bobbed as she whisked you to her will, you and Ellie sharing a knowing look as she pushed your bodies through the hall and down the darkness of the stairwell. 
– 
“RULES ARE SIMPLE,” some asshole in a hat bellowed as he stood over all of you who sat in the circle, mildly drunk off your asses and looking for easy fun. He held up a black beer bottle, carrying it like a trophy and swishing it around your noses for a closer look. “You kids might know seven minutes in heaven.” You didn’t know him, but according to Dina, this was his house, his party, and his very annoying rules. A light patch of raised skin played against his nose as he scrunched his nose over and over again, hands on hips, clearly trying to steal back whatever thought the liquor took from him. Jason, right? 
Whatever. 
“But we’re all grown-ups here, so I present to you–” He rolled the bottle in hand, clearly soft-launching his bright idea. “Fifteen minutes in purgatory!” There was a deep groan radiating from some, but there was a small minority that exploded in cheers, and whoops. “Pretty self-explanatory, two adventurers venture deep into purgatory, and come out forever changed.
“Two adventurers go deep into purgatory,” He gestured his head at the foreboding broom closet in the back of the room. “And return forever changed.” 
“We’ll use the bottle to choose our unlucky voyagers, and you’ll spend fifteen minutes in the closet.” He explained, dropping the mystique in the second half. “Alright kids, let’s start; and just for the record– If you’re a pussy, get the fuck out of the circle!”
The drunken cast of partiers whooped and cheered, hyping each other up, spilling beer out of red cups as they gestured wildly, entirely too grown for this. The room played ‘not it’ to pick who got the first spin, and the unfortunate soul was a blonde who sat cross-legged, blank-eyed at the black glass handed to her, nodding her head tersely. 
“We got our very own Abigail Anderson– !” Her eyes narrowed. “Andddd….” Hat praised, cueing her to spin. She took the bottle, pointing the tip towards herself and then spinning it, the glass doubling, tripling the circle, making you dizzy chasing it with your eyes, and everyone sat with bated breath. It slowed and slowed and slowed, until, like ugly fate, it stopped at your feet.
“Our newbie!” He got up to cheese, leaning over you, placing his hands over your shoulders, and rocking you from side to side. You laughed awkwardly, putting your palms up defensively at nothing. 
“Um– uh…” You were at a loss for words, only cut off as his head shot into your field of view, hot, hopsy breath tanging your nostrils. “What, you scared?” He taunted, all eyes on you, watching as you nursed a deep discomfort about the whole thing behind an uneasy smile.  
“You’re a fucking asshole, Jordan.” The girl, Abby, groaned. She looked up at you from her downward pointing head, swishing her bottle of hard cider in the hand propped over her knee. Jordan, that was the name of this dickhead. Yeah, fuck him. “If she doesn’t want to get in the closet, she doesn’t want to get in the closet. I’ll just spin again.”
Dina cut in, the redhead still leaning lazily against her. “Yeah, don’t–dont be a dick, Jordan.” Her face was tight, and Ellie was annoyed because Dina was annoyed, and the room held a pregnant silence, and even though it wasn’t your fault, you felt all too responsible and all too uncomfortable with all of the eyes watching you.
“It’s fine, guys. Let’s all– eh, chill out, okay? I’m going to take the dare.” You leaned in, voice dropping to a whisper, trying to steal back the vibe, trying to replace the tension with playful drama as you circled your head around, wiggling the fingers slightly of your held-up palms. “Because I’m not a little bitch.”
The crowd exploded in raucous laughter, each voice clashing together and mimicking the sound of a pipe bursting. You looked over at your partner, who seemed pleasantly surprised, a smirk playing on her peach lips. She placed down her bottle and stood, and as she towered over you, you realised that maybe you were playing with fire. She was scary and nonchalant, but the outer workings of her face were soft and gentle. She didn’t look like the girls in the videos you watched at night; she was something different, uncharted, and before you knew it, a nervousness, and something lower, darker, ran through your body. 
Then it was time to go, you piling in first, looking around at some of the half-darkness in the room, barely enough to fit two people in. 
The asshole patted the girl’s back, corralling her into the closet behind you. Blood rushed to your head, the pressure was too great, like getting skullfucked through your ears. show her a good time, you could hear him say, and then something that you couldn’t quite understand over the bass. The mountain’s eyes narrowed, but before she could shoot back, her large body crashed into yours and the space became tighter and tighter, just enough for the two of you to put your arms out to either side or turn around. For a split second, you could see Dina’s face from over Jordan’s shoulder, tightened in concern, a timid thumbs up at the side of her head. Then, he closed the door, and the last of the light slipped out through the crack in the wall. 
There was a deep silence, and somehow, like the hazy feeling you get right before you wake from a dream, you were chest to chest in the darkness with her blue eyes staring back at you, damn-near bioluminescent. You’d seen her around, because everyone sees her around, but it hadn’t registered that the giant who had parted all of those people in the crowd like they were just water, was standing right in front of you. Outside you could hear the rumble of the music, vibrations of the bass wrapping around you and shaking you from the inside out. The closet was too tight, too warm, too filled with smells from towels and coats and folded blankets and dusty boxes of light bulbs and two cramped, awkward bodies. 
Suddenly, you felt all too intimidated.
“You’re Abigail, right?” You questioned. “Off the rugby team?”
“Abby.” You couldn’t read her face in the dark, and though she spoke pointedly she didn’t seem angry, but the accidental overstep was enough to make you want to dig a hole through the floor with your bare hands and die in it. “And yeah– captain, of the rugby team.”
“Oh, sorry, sorry.” You yielded. “So… what are we supposed to do? In here, I mean.” You gestured at nothing, knocking some washcloths from a top shelf down in the dark. “Ah, damn it.” You cursed under your breath, bending down to pick up the small stack. You could hear Abby behind you, sucking her teeth with a judgy hum.  Her brows were almost touching her eyelids, captured in secondhand embarrassment, and she almost felt bad for how awkward you were, scrambling to pick them up from the floor.
  If you could see her face, you’d be able to tell how her eyes flicked up and down her body, taking everything in. Your black skirt slid slightly to bunch at the front, uncovering portions of your doughy thigh and the ever-so-tiniest range of fabric hiding your prettiest secret. She had to tear her eyes away, almost. She jumped, even, glad you couldn’t see as you popped back up. 
You were cute, holding the disheveled stack in your hands, a look of sheer pride on your face. You looked over to the side, tossing them unceremoniously on a free shelf, gravity taking a couple back to the ground. Your sated chuckle, the way your tits pushed up slightly, illuminated, almost framed like art by the neckline of your cream cardigan made her hungry. She pushed the ideas of what she wanted to do with them out of her mind, but damn, she could think about some things that would make the devil embarrassed. She stomped down her desire, stoicism crossing her for a second, only for her to open it back up on second thought.
“They want us to fool around, fuck, ideally.” She started, analysing your expressions for any hint of discomfort at the conversation. “But– we don’t have to do anything.” She tried to cut some of the thick discomforts with a placating smile, almost lost in detail in the low light. She was huge, more so than you, or most anyone else you knew, the jutting-out edge of a shelf knocking the back of her head every time she leaned her head back in the tight space. The hard washboard of her torso was framed by an opening of a grey hoodie and barely much else, just the thick band of her boxers peeking from her sweatpants, and the black of a cropped tank top that stopped right below her bra line. 
“Jordan… is typically a good guy, but when he gets drunk he’s a total POS.” Abby was sallow-faced, pursing her lips, tension running through her jawline. “I shouldn’t have let him put you on the spot like that. So… I’m sorry that you got pressured to get in here.”
“It’s fine, I just.” You started, ready to say that big phrase, the one that slightly burned your back to admit. “I’ve never done anything like this before.”
“What, played seven minutes in heaven? Yeah, kind of a jackass thing to suggest in your twenties.”
Shit. She was going to make you say it. 
“No. I mean I’ve never–” and you thought your tiny voice couldn’t get any tinier. “had sex before.” 
Abby breathed in the deepest sigh, pure anxiety crossing her face for a split second, before she was feeding you apologies. “It’s fine, we don’t have to do anything we can just sit here and talk. Or be in silence if you want it’s alr–”
“I want to do it.” You said doggedly, pressing yourself into a tiny corner. Her brow perched, and there was something in those narrowing blue eyes that said she didn’t believe you. You were pigeontoed, legs shifting against one another, declaring in your firmest voice that you wanted her to take your virginity. 
“Are you sure?” She breathed out, stepping a bit closer. “You don’t have to feel pressured to do anything because you think they want a show.”
“Oh, my god.” You were pouting, annoyed. “I can choose if I want to have sex you know, and I want to have sex right here right n–”
She kissed you, softly as possible, testing your waters to see how far you were willing to go. Her hands were patient, one lightly knotted in the woolen knit of your cardigan to lightly pet your lower back, the other making gentle grips on your sweatered arm. Her fingers were barely bruising, gripping around your wrist almost tight enough, and a tiny shockwave coursed between your thighs and convinced you that you wanted more. In this low light, in this dark room, in this place between space and time, you wanted to be her conquest. To be taken, touched, manhandled, to be made to weather the storm of her overwhelming strength against you, lost in the middle of the ocean.
It was perverted, almost, how the idea of her showing restraint raised hairs on your skin, how you deepened the kiss like you were being overcome with an insatiable, bloody hunger. You had to take back the moment, to steal her attention in a way she couldn’t deny before she thought you were all talk; you stepped closer, positioning yourself so that her thigh hovered right below the heated space under your skirt. Her hand was warm, soft as you grabbed it, moving it lower, deeper down the divot of your back and where the fat of your ass connected. She caught on, groaning into your lips as she kneaded around your body, her tongue sweeter and heavier against yours, working that one damned hand up your skirt to cup bare skin. 
You jumped. 
As fast as it had come, her hand slipped back from under your skirt and the touch was lost completely, awkwardly hovering for a second until Abby pulled it back into her pocket and stepped back. You were miserable, eyes welling up in frustration like a lost dog at the lack of feeling. She was pulling you into insanity but was too chivalrous to drown you in it, rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly as she looked down at you.
“Fuck– didn’t mean to be aggressive like that. I–” The redness bled across her cheeks, freckles on full display as her fingers met the wet spot that you were hiding, your hands guiding hers to the space between your thighs. There was a pause, a knowing, a challenge between the two of you as an unknown heat spread throughout your bodies, and you collided once more. The blonde’s mouth sucked a nasty pressure into your throat, agitating it with bites and licks as her head traveled deeper, hands playing at the front of your sweatered torso to undo the buttons that held your breasts hostage. 
Her entrance was assured as she popped the loops open, fingers gripping the fabric of your camisole and lifting up, taking your bra with it. She nipped at the exposed flesh, heat from her mouth traveling directly to your vagina, clit throbbing hard with need. Abby engulfed a nipple with the wetness of her tongue, closing her lips around the rapidly hardening bud to pull it to full attention, chuckling as she scraped the flesh with her teeth. The wet head was replaced with her palms, each thumb and forefinger rolling one or the other. The sensitivity of the tiny flesh was insane, enough to make you whine out loud as she continued, better than anything you had ever done to yourself. 
You were biting your lip, eyes big and doe-like as you waded through your pleasure, soft pants heaving your chest. She fished it out from between your teeth and hooked it within her own, popping the plump flesh into her mouth as she pared yours with her tongue. You swore the room was spinning, a wetness slicking between your thighs, a drip positioned between two pairs of hungry lips. You could’ve spent all fifteen minutes– or an eternity, in this beautiful hell, giving and taking and relishing in a different, sort of strange type of want.
“Don’t stop.” You moaned in between stolen breaths, the blonde chasing your mouth each time you pulled away.
“For you, pretty?” Gripping you tighter for emphasis, pressing you closer into the wall, angling further between your spread legs. “Never.” 
It was like you were some weird intoxication to her, a drug that she couldn’t get enough of. How your ass molded right into the divots of her palms, those tiny moans that rang through the cage you two were in, the rapid beating of your heart rippling through your body. She wanted to peel your cardigan from your shoulders, wanted to shred your clothes from your body and take you however she liked, and make you feel better than you knew what to do with. Needed to make you scream and fuck you until you cried. But it was your first time, so she resigned to being gentle and soft, like you were a little deer in the forest, and she was trying to get close without scaring you off. so she would give you only what you needed. 
She didn’t have a lot of strong feelings about that nickname she had earned in sophomore year, War Machine, from all of the pretty girls she ran through and left unable to walk, unable to talk for a couple of days or more. but when Jordan said it, in front of you, in front of sweet and innocent, pretty and tiny *you* she could’ve reeled back and torn him apart. But she still didn’t want to scare you. So she had forced an alright, the one a child forces when they get scolded, and hid the burning in her palms that made her want to fight in the pocket of her pants. 
Your eyes bored x-rays through her formidable thighs as she bent her knees to squad before you, strong hands rubbing up and down your thighs with contrasting gentleness to the hard angles of her face, the brow that was crooked down slightly in concentration, the slightly parted lips playing with mischief as they took you in. You were frightened for just a second, until Abby looked up at you with sympathetic eyes, a hand leaving your thigh and linking with your fingers, guiding you to the base of her skull to envelop her honeyed strands. 
She was back at you, the darkness in your stomach leaking out as you palmed her head, and she ran her hands upward, more upward, until the ruffles of your cotton skirt were overturned in her palms. From the waist down, you were completely exposed, a wet spot working itself into your panties from your innermost recesses and a musky scent betraying your shyness. 
Abby pressed herself gently into the fabric, her fat lips creating a cool pressure against the hot flesh, her nose itching lightly into your pubis. You bucked your hips unconsciously, nearly fucking her face in your abandon. A vibration from her laugh traveled through you, nestled inside of you, and more wetness began to slick your channel. That friendly ache formed in your rapidly hardening clit, and a similar pain throbbed in your pinkie and middle finger. Her other hand moved up, gripping fistfuls of your ass, less forgiving now, and forcing a squeak from your lips. 
You were dumbstruck; a stranger’s hands all over you, mouth nearly on top of your sacred place, nearly leaking from sheer lust. She had barely done anything. Your jaw slacked, and in your mind you felt like a fool, lamenting how you thought your first time would be special. Soft circles rubbed into your inner thigh as she pulled your legs apart, peppering angel kisses throughout the little divots. 
“S’okay, baby.” Her voice was barely a whisper, a tiny encouragement that calmed the buzzing in your mind. “Tell me how you want me. I’m yours.” 
and you thought that declaration would destroy you,’ I’m yours.’ and it felt very, very real. 
“I want you to touch me.” You said, barely a whisper, nodding as she pressed her face to your thigh, sliding down your panties to about knee-level. It was as though she had seen heaven’s gate open, awestruck at the blood rushing to engorge your lips, how your clit stood on end without even being touched. The thatch of hair curling between your thighs and around your depths. She had to have a taste, and there wasn’t much room for second-guessing as she pressed her mouth to the hot spot and flattened her tongue directly against the wettest space.
Juicy noises slid from her mouth as she rolled your clit between her tongue and sucked sharply with her lips, and it was as though you could’ve sunk to the floor, the way your legs became distinctly not yours. It was enough, enough, not enough, then too much. It was like you were an endlessly gushing fountain as Abby’s wet, firm tongue parted your lips, dipping ever so lightly into your hole as she licked out a string of nectar from your drooling cunt. It was as though you were animated, possessed even, as your hands flew into her hair, pushing her head down further and further, to that release you chased violently and madly. 
Abby was humble, letting you guide her where you needed her; she was soft at first, but you didn’t want soft, you wanted more. 
She obliged. 
The blonde slipped her fingers between your thighs and parted your slit, opening up an endless, waiting tightness. She was intrepid, pressing through your clenching muscle and opening you up more than you had ever done; thick digits tearing through you, fucking your pussy at an unforgiving pace, concentration forming in the muscles of her neck. You hid an inhuman growl in the pit of your throat, in the crook of your sweatered elbow, and she moaned out, satisfied with that which she had created inside of you. You were fucking her face in a tight, dirty closet, calf propped over a muscled shoulder for support, the heel of your booties pressing into the wall, locking her in.
 It was as though the two of you were fighting, every roll of your hips she chased with her head, every time you shied away from the pleasure she held you harder, taking you even hungrier, diving deeper to a spot you didn’t know was there; every taut pull at her scalp met with an even tighter grip into the flesh of your plush ass. The pads of her fingers violated the sopping warmth of your cunt, and you clenched your stomach unwittingly, walls flexing, holding her hand there. Drool dripped from between her lips, pooling and soaking down into the fibres of an old shag rug, caked with dust and whatever else. 
Your own slipped between your lips before you could suck it back in, and the silver trail bounced, the way it does when it breaks, and the thick drop cascaded down her temple, getting lost in your brow. The piece that was yours snaked down your collarbone and between your breasts and somehow, you felt a connection. 
Abby snorted, sucked in a breath as her fingers left you empty. Fuck. She didn’t go for her face, wiping them on the skin of your pussy, they traveled upwards, firm grips on your ass. She rubbed the flesh as though she was throwing clay, stretching the skin between her rough fingers, calluses on her palms coasting over every bump and groove. She had found what she had wanted, craning her neck lower, lower, until you could just barely see her eyes. Her fingertips prodded, greedy, opening your lips, tongue leching against your soft fruit as though she was funneling the juices directly into her mouth. You thought your thighs would give out but she held you, stronger, and you fed her willingly. 
Her middle finger dipped down into the slit, collecting juices, stealing a breath from your lungs, you wanted to scream her name but it was caught inside of you, so you stood slack-jawed, fuck drunk as she abused your walls, fucking every ridge painfully slow. The tight hole stretched around the meatiness of her finger, and she hooked it as though she was searching, retreating from the warmth, slick with your nastiest of liquids. Again, she split your ass with one hand, and you clenched your tightest hole without thinking about it. 
“Don’t worry,” She said, muffled against your mound as she latched against it once more, “gonna help you so fucking good.” You were confused, but you trusted her, a complete stranger. For a second you began to ask what there was to worry about, but your mind was pried away from you as you felt the pressure of her coated fingertip tracing around your asshole. A gentle kiss played at the head of your pussy, comforting you as you nodded your head wildly, something of a ‘yes’ flying from your throat as her middle finger parted that threshold. 
Your mind exploded, head shooting straight up into the air, a small yelp burning into a silent open-mouthed cry. You were spinning, the room was spinning, your body heated up instantly. Then, the wet warmth traveled back to your clit, her opposite hand nestling two fingers into your aching, needy twat, her tongue lapping as her fingers resumed digging and that one damned finger fucked in and out of your tightest hole painfully slow. 
She fucked you like an animal; you cried out like a bitch in heat. The music trembled through your ears, and you were afraid it wouldn’t be enough, that everyone would hear, everyone would know. You were both drunk and this didn’t matter, didn’t mean anything, but she was bottoming her tongue out in you and you wanted it to mean a lot. Girls talked and you fucking hated them all. She was loose, she got around, and you wanted to be hers. 
You wanted to capture her and be interesting to her and walk with her hand on your lower back around campus. Wanted her callused fist in your hair, around your neck as she took you every night. Wanted badly to fucking cum, to open the portal, to wash her face with this unholy water, wanted to kiss wet lips and taste everything. Wanted to know if she could ever like you, after you gave it up, quickly, bellowing like a foghorn against a rack of coats. You wanted to be kept, to keep her spit inside of you like a keepsake but she sucked it back in a quick second, before you could even feel her cheeks hollow between your thighs, and felt dirty for even thinking of it. 
A sweet pain formed between your thighs and you couldn’t stop the groan that rose from your throat, every muscle in your face clenching and unclenching, your eyes crossing as your orgasm came quickly into view. Abby fucked you through it, fingers slow and forgiving. It was as though a stream of slowly descending tidal waves were crashing against you, and you needed more, it hurt but you needed more. Something deep burned inside of you, endlessly hot, and you wondered how she could stand the heat as she hit it over and over again.  You sobbed, and swore that you could feel a tear roll down your cheek, feeling the need to rub your eyes for good measure.  
She looked up, entranced, face softening for a second, watching as you gave up your mind to your body. There was a hard knock at the door, the music lowered a decibel, silence filling the two of you, her fingers still deep inside of your two holes. A sing-song voice bellowed out ‘five minutes!’ and the darkness ridged her eyes. 
For the first time, her voice was hard, removing her hand from your cunt, making sure to curl the one in your ass tighter in compensation. She slammed the door twice with her fist, the frame bulging in a way that made you fear the whole thing would just fall down. “Fuck off.” Her voice was loud enough to tear through the uncomfortable tension. There was an apprehensive, ‘woah man,’ that you could barely hear, and the music regained, the party rejoiced, and hopefully, the fear of God being struck enough in your host to leave well enough alone. 
Her lips were still slick, soft, kissable with your juices. She flashed you a genuine, pretty smile.  Her hands gripped a little too tight but you wanted it all. She looked down at the mess between your trembling thighs, then at your heavy, panting face. She leaned back on her heels as a wide smile played on her face, satisfied with herself. A windy chuckle passed through her glistening lips, wiping her mouth and chin on the inside of her hoodie. “Fuckin’ insane.” She breathed out in between pants. 
“Abby.” She said, as though the strength of your orgasm traveled through your brain and made you forget the events of the last 15 minutes. “Constance Hall. Dorm 425 on the second floor.” It was as though your heart skipped a beat, but you punched it down, a weak smile playing against your lips. 
She was fucking disheveled, almost inhaling the last sweet smells of your pussy, creating a memory of the flavour and filing it away in her mind for safekeeping. She was delicate, pulling your white panties up to your thighs again, soothing a finger where those soft, curly pussy hairs were hidden again. She let down her hands, skirt furling down, covering the marks of dark possession that she left behind. “Come see me again sometime, ‘kay?” She chuckled, giggled even, and that glint in her eyes was enough to make you faint. 
She stood up, waiting for you to compose yourself and straighten everything out before she pushed open the now-unlocked door and peeked her head out.
Jordan was already on her as the door flew open, and you could hear his hushed nosiness as you hugged the wall and tried to act casual, eyes locked on her retreating back as she reentered the room, light haloing her. ‘So what happened?’ you swore his lips read, and your stomach dropped. But she cut through his questions, loud enough for you to hear, convincing enough that he wouldn’t have anything to run his mouth about later on. 
“Nothing man, we were just talking.”
Maybe she was actually just that charming. 
Yeah.

I've Never Stopped. (c.f)
Tumblr media
masterlist
Pairing: Conrad Fisher x Fem!Reader
Summary: coming back to Cousins for the summer after skipping out last year after a rough breakup with your ex-boyfriend, conrad fisher. you hoped that maybe both he and his family had forgotten about you, but it seems like you’re in for a treat.
Warnings: lots of dialogue. swearing. angsty mention of a breakup. little kiss. fluffy ending tho. UNEDITED
a/n: the timeline that i have doesn't fully match with the actual series. also if you feel like you're seeing this twice it's because this was going to be two parts but i ended up liking it as one!
word count. 3.5k
Tumblr media
“You’re coming back this year, no more moping around about it, and that’s final,” your mom tells you.
“But what am I even suppose to do this summer while I’m there, it’s not like I have anything planned.”
“Actually, I signed you up to be a big sister this year for the debutante ball.”
“Wait, what?” you question.
“I knew you would say something like that so I got you something to do while we’re there.”
“Fine, whatever.”
You were sat at table two by Paige, the lady hosting the event and instructor. All the girls were mainly welcoming to you. Asking you questions like if this was your first time in Cousins and why they haven’t seen you around. You brushed off a majority of the questions but told them that you had skipped out last year due to college admissions. Which wasn’t a complete lie since you went to go tour universities like Upenn, Columbia, NYU, and Yale. You got early admission into Columbia and it started beginning of July of last year. 
You learned the girls' names which are Nicole, Shayla, Gigi, and a couple others. You tried your best to not give a reaction when they mentioned the infamous Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher. You noticed the chair next to you was still open at your table. 
“Hey, are we missing anybody?” you asked the girls.
“Yeah, this girl is a new deb this year,” Nicole replied to you.
Out of the corner of your eye, you see Belly Conklin and Jeremiah Fisher walking into the room. You wanted to sink down to the floor to disappear but it was too late. You saw Jeremiah dodge Paige and make his way towards you all giddy. You saw the girls around the table slightly fix their dresses thinking he was coming toward them. You keep your eyes glued down to the table but looked up the second he called your name. What a rookie mistake.
“Y/N! You’re back, man, Conrad is not going to believe this. We missed you last summer. Are you back for good or you going to disappear again?” he rambles to you as he gets closer. He hugs you from behind your chair and kisses your cheek. You blush immediately and notice that Gigi is glaring at you from the table.
“Hey, Jere,” you mumble out.
“I’m glad, you’re here.”
“You know, me too,” you found yourself admitting out loud.
“Okay, I gotta go before Paige has me kicked out, but I’ll text you,” he says rushing out the door.
“Hi, Bells,” you greet the oh-so-familiar girl taking a seat next to you.
“Hey, Y/N,” she replies, smiling at you. 
“So when were you going to tell us that you know, a certain lifeguard…” Nicole teases you, trying to ease the tension at the table. 
“Family friend, you know.”
“But that’s it, right?” Gigi asks you.
“Yeah, of course. He’s like my little brother.”
Tumblr media
“Y/N, wait up!” you hear from behind you seeing Belly.
“Belly?”
“I don’t want to push you or anything, but I just want to you know that I think Conrad would really enjoy a visit from you, we all would,” she says bashfully looking down to her feet. 
“Bells, I miss you too, but he was the one who broke up with me, remember? I don’t think that’s the best idea.”
“Think about it, okay?” she tries again
“Maybe.”
Tumblr media
“CONRAD, GUESS WHAT!” Jere yells barging into Conrad’s room. 
“What, Jere?” Conrad says, tiredly looking at him from his bed.
“She’s back.”
“Who’s back?” Conrad questions him.
“Who else, Y/N!” as those words left Jeremiah’s mouth, Conrad found himself getting whiplash from getting up so quickly.
“You sure, it wasn’t some girl that just looked like her?” he asked.
“Oh, it was her,” he hears Belly add from the hallway. 
“You’re shitting, me,” Conrad says exasperated falling back down to his bed. 
‘Ding’ Jeremiah takes his phone out of his pocket to look at the text message he had just got. He looks to Conrad who had his head stuffed into a pillow then went back out of the hallway to call for Belly. 
“Hey, Belly, you wanna go get ice cream with, Y/N?” that got the attention of quite a few people in the house.
“Of course, when?” “Wait, Y/N’s back?” “You’re going where?” all directed towards Jeremiah who seemed occupied on his phone texting back. 
“Bells, later before dinner so like in 20-30 mins. Steven, yeah, we saw her today at the deb lunch thing. And, umm, Conrad, we’re going out with Y/N,” Jeremiah blurts out in a rush. 
“You think I could go?” Conrad asks. 
“Yeah, me too,” Steven adds on.
“Steven, yeah sure that’s fine. I don’t know, Conrad.”
“Come on, I’m sure, she won’t even care,” Conrad pushes.
“Fine, but you better not make her feel unwelcomed. Don’t be selfish here, we all miss her you know,” Jere gives in.
Tumblr media
Your breakup with Conrad didn’t just affect you two but the families too. Your dad didn’t really like Conrad after finding you in your room crying when he had broken up with you. You were thankful for your parents especially your dad considering he was your shoulder to cry on during it. He made sure your mom didn’t push you too much during the weeks after everything happened. You loved your mom, but she never really got the hint when to stop at times. After the breakup your family still went to Susannah’s Fourth of July party that year, breaking the news to everyone you skipped out of going to Cousins because of college admissions. Everyone knew that it was deeper than that. 
When Conrad had broken up with you it was truly out of fear, you never knew that. You believed that he didn’t want to be with you anymore and didn’t care enough to give you a valid reason for it. Nobody really understood why he did it. It was so out of the blue since it seemed like you two were so in love with each other. They never expected for Conrad to turn so cold to you right before the summer, well neither did you. 
What was going through Conrad’s mind was the fear you would find someone better than him at the universities you talked about. He thought to save himself the pain and do it first. He broke up with you thinking that you would move on and be with some college guy. He loved you too much to see you fall into the arms of someone else while he wasn’t there. He trusted you, but that didn’t stop his fears from overwhelming him. What really pushed him over was when he found out that his dad cheated on his mom while she was going through chemotherapy. 
He was so scared to lose you that he lost you in the process. 
Tumblr media
You sat down outside of the ice cream parlor, nervous to be spending time with them again. Jeremiah had responded to your text saying he and Belly would both be going. You looked around to see if Jere’s car was around but you see a red jeep pulling up from down the street. 
“Shit,” you muttered to yourself.
You prayed that maybe Jeremiah just took Conrad’s car instead of his, but it seemed like the world was against you when you saw him coming out of the car.
“Yo, Y/N, I didn’t believe Jere when he said he was coming to meet you,” you hear Steven say first approaching you. He pulled you into a hug whispering into your ear. “Don’t worry about him, okay?” 
You appreciated Steven in moments like this.  You guys have a very brother-sister relationship and he always tried to look out for you. He won't admit it out loud but he was so furious with Conrad screwing up with you. He called you immediately when he found out last you. You've been helping him with trying to prepare for Princeton without anyone knowing. You reassured him that he could do it.
“I’ll try,” you whisper back while hugging him back. 
“Y/N!! Oh, have I missed you,” Jere says tackling you with a hug after Steven stepped back.
“You saw me earlier, you know,” you laughed at him.
“Yeah, but for like a minute, so that doesn’t count.”
“You guys could let her breathe,” Belly says behind Jere waiting her turn to talk to you.
“Hey, Bells,” you smiled at her.
“I’m glad, you thought about it,” she says to you quietly.
“I didn’t though, I texted Jere thinking only you and him would be here,” you whisper into her ear as you two hug. You glared at Jeremiah, but he didn’t seem to notice or maybe he just didn’t care. 
“Oh, sorry about that,” she responds to you nervously as she lets go.
You felt the world stop for a second when you locked eyes with the one and only Conrad Fisher. 
“Hey.” 
“Hello, to you too,” you replied monotoned. You didn’t want to give him the pleasure of giving him a reaction to his presence. 
“Let’s get ice cream, shall we?” Jeremiah says cutting the tension between you two as you turned your head to look at him. 
“Yeah, let’s head in,” you said changing back to your usual tone.
Tumblr media
“So, how’s uni?” Steven asked once you guys headed back outside to sit down.
“It’s interesting, to say the least…” you started
“Any hot people?” Jeremiah said, wiggling his eyebrows at you. You felt Conrad’s eyes bore into you when Jere asked the question.
“Some, but frat boys aren’t really the best at relationships,” you answered.
“YOU GOT WITH A FRAT GUY??” Belly gasped.
“No way, you gave a frat a chance, Y/N,” Steven added.
“It was just a fling. Nothing that serious, really. We went out for like two weeks before I broke up with him,” you said looking at everyone sheepishly. 
“Was he good?” Conrad challenged.
“Excuse me?” you said puzzled. You couldn’t believe the nerve he had to ask you that.
“Conrad, chill,” Jeremiah gapped at him.
“Belly, how do you feel about being a deb?” you asked Belly trying to move on from the subject.
“Umm… I don’t know honestly. I’m really nervous about it but I’m glad you got assigned to be my big sister cause I don’t know what I would do without you,” she rambled on.
“Bells, you’ll be great. There’s nothing to worry about and if anything happens we’ll do it together, okay,” you said as you squeezed her hand affectively. 
“I can’t believe you’re a big sis, Y/N,” Steven joked with you.
“Yeah, my mom made me deb last year in New York. Then she signed me up to help here.”
“That sounds like her,” Conrad said quietly.
“Did you have fun last year?” Jere asked.
“I did actually. It helped take my mind off things,” you answered while making eye contact with Conrad for a sec before turning your attention back to Jere.
“Someone escorted you?” Steven voiced out.
“Yeah, I have a friend Luke who took me.” as you said that you heard Conrad scoff at the name. 
“Hey, we have to head back soon but what if you came to dinner? Please think about it, mom misses you,” Jere begged you.
“Yeah sure,” you agreed already regretting your decision. 
“You want one of us to ride back with you?” Belly asked with a mischievous look on her face.
“If one of you want to sure,” you had a feeling where this was going.
“Conrad will go with you,” Jeremiah stated while Conrad stared at him wide-eyed.
“Whatever, I guess, you’re driving though,” you add turning to Conrad.
“Okay,” he muttered out.
Tumblr media
The driving was filled with tension. Neither of you talking to each other but sneaking side glances hoping no one will notice. 
“Columbia, treating you good?” he asked while looking to the road.
“Better than you did,” you said bitterly
“Y/n/n, don’t be like that.”
“Be like what?”
“I’m sorry,” he said so quietly that you barely heard it.
“For what exactly?”
“For making a mistake.”
“Conrad, stop.”
“I’m not doing anything.”
“You know what you’re doing and stop it.”
“What am I doing?”
“You trying to make me forgive you after everything.”
“Can you?”
“That’s not the point. Why should I give you the decency of forgiveness when you couldn’t even give me a damn reason.” you scoffed as he pulled in front of the house.
You walked out of the car and headed towards the door, taking deep breaths to calm yourself down. You got to the door and debated on knocking but instead chose to walk in trying to not make any noise. You heard Conrad shuffle behind you but ignored him. You walked into the kitchen and saw Laurel and Susannah cooking dinner. You sat down at the counter not wanting to disturb them. 
“Y/N! You’re here!” Susannah says happily to you. She lowered the heat on the stove and went to you for a hug.
“Hey, Y/N,” you hear Laurel say while you are engulfed in a hug from Susannah.
“Mom, you can let her breathe now,” Conrad told his mom.
“Connie, be quiet for a second. Let me just admire her, she’s so beautiful.” you blush at her words.
“Your mom was telling me that you got into Columbia last year right?” Laurel asked.
“Yeah, early admission.”
“That’s exciting,” she replies.
“Now, why haven’t visited us yet?” Susannah questioned you.
“I’m sorry, I’ve been busy getting stuff together to be a big sis for the ball,” you answered giving an excuse for the summer only.
“Oh, Belly was telling me about that. She’s really glad that she can spend time with you again. She’s always looked up to you,” Laurel said smiling warmly at you.
“I missed her.”
“Well, we’ve all missed you,” Susannah told you slightly glaring at Conrad behind you, pulling you into another hug. 
“Yeah.” you hear behind you. 
Tumblr media
Nothing was ever in your favor. You sat right next to Conrad and had Steven next to you and Belly in front of you. The room was filled with awkward tension seeping from both you and Conrad. You talked to Steven quietly as everyone else had their own conversations. 
“How’s the application process?” you asked Steven.
“Dad, says he thinks I can get in with some financial aid and I’m going to apply for a couple scholarships.”
“A couple scholarships for what?” Laurel sparks interest in your guys’ conversation. 
“I’m applying to Princeton,” Steven told her. Everyone dropped their side conversations and paid attention to Laurel and him. 
“I thought you gave up on that.”
“No, Dad and Y/N think I can do it if I get some help so I thought it was worth a shot,” he says to her slowly quieting his voice by the end of it.
“Laurel, Steven will be fine. If I could get into Columbia on a full ride, I’m sure he can too,” you try to reassure her.
“Yeah, and Y/N would only be like a 2-hour drive away too if I ever need anything,” Steven adds on. 
“Steven, I think that’s great for you, hun,” Susannah says sweetly.
“You going to let me steal your sweatshirt?” Belly asks Steven excitedly. 
“As if,” Steven scoffs.
“Hey, Bells how do you feel about a Columbia hoodie?” you say to Belly trying to make up for Steven’s rudeness.
“Really?” 
“Yeah, of course, I’ll bring it next time.”
“So you’ll be here the next time?” Jeremiah says jokingly.
“I'll be around.”
“That’s great, sweetheart. It would be nice having you around again,” Susannah tells you as you feel Conrad’s stare from your side.
“How’s football, Conrad?” you asked trying to make small talk. 
“I quit.”
“Oh.”
“You still doing volleyball?”
“Yeah, I’m trying out for captain next year.”
“That’s good.”
Tumblr media
“Can we talk?” you hear Conrad say behind you.
“Sure, give me a sec. Jere, she really likes you don’t mess it up.”
“I won’t!” Jeremiah yelled walking back into the house.
You and Conrad sit beside the pool as everyone is inside. You kept a distance between you two but Conrad seemed to inch closer to you by the minute. 
“What’d you want to talk about?” you said breaking the silence.
“I never meant to hurt you.”
“You see, Conrad that’s the problem you did.”
“It was for the best.”
“What do you mean for the best, I was in love with you.”
“I loved you too.”
“Sure didn’t seem that way when you said you wanted a break.”
“Y/N, I was scared okay.”
“Scared for what exactly, Conrad?” you snapped him not getting where he was going with this conversation.
“We would’ve never lasted with you in college.”
“Well, now we’ll never know.”
“You seemed to move on pretty quick so I guess I was right.”
“Oh fuck you, Conrad. I had my heart broken because of you and all you think is that.”
“You were going to leave me.” Conrad implied as his voice cracked.
“What?” you said looking at him and making eye contact. 
“You would’ve found some college guy and probably notice how much better he is than me.” 
“Conrad, I don’t understand.”
“I was so fucking scared, Y/N. I thought maybe if I broke up with you first it would save me some of the heartache. I think it only made it worse.”
“What do you mean ‘broke up with me first’? Conrad, I would’ve never done that to you and I’m offended you don’t have any faith in me.”
“My dad cheated on my mom okay,” he said to you looking down towards the pool. 
“Oh, Con, I’m so sorry,” you grabbed his hand. You felt him tighten his hold against yours when you tried to pull back.
“I found out a week before we broke up.”
“Oh," you muttered under your breath as everything started clicking in your mind about how your breakup went down.
“I’m sorry, Y/N. For everything.” 
“I know, Con,” you said. 
Conrad Fisher always had that effect on you. No matter how much you tried to deny it you would always love him. For that, you would always end up forgiving him in the end. You wondered if he still had any love for you back.
“You know I never stopped loving you,” he said quietly, reconnecting your eyes. It was almost as if he read your mind.
“No. You can’t do that, Conrad. It hurts too much,” you said feeling tears fill your eyes. 
“I should’ve never done what I did.”
“Conrad, stop.”
“No. I need you to know I regret it okay.”
“You’re only saying this cause I’m back,” you said as the tears fell from your eyes. 
“I’m not. You know I tried visiting you once a couple weeks after everything but you were rehearsing with Luke,” he told you as he raised his hand to wipe away your tears.
“Why didn’t you say anything?” you flushed as you saw him stare at your face slowly taking you in admiration.
“I thought you would be better off without me,” he said rubbing his thumb against your cheek.
“Con,” you found yourself slowly leaning into his touch.
“I’ve always adored you.”
You tried looking away from him but you felt him gently grab your chin and tilt it up towards him.
“You’re an ass.” you laughed trying to put your nerves away as you looked down to his lips before traveling your eyes back to his. 
“I love you and I am sorry,” he whispered to you as he pulled you in. 
“Con, this is wrong.”
“Nothing is wrong. It’s only us,” he said inches away from your lips. 
He put his lips against yours and grabbed your face closer to him. You found yourself kissing him back wrapping your arms around his neck. It was as if you could feel the emotion Conrad was putting into this kiss, it felt like he was giving it his all. As if it was to make up for the past.
“Always know how to make a girl blush,” you said against his lips. You felt the vibration of his laugh as you said it. You missed hearing it. He pushed his lips back onto yours with the same kind of passion as before.
“Only you,” he responded as he pulled back leaning his forehead against yours. 
“Do you really think this is smart?” you muttered.
“It was stupid of me to ruin what we had in the first place.”
“Okay.” and with that, he grabbed your face into his hands.
“You. You’re the one I love and I promise I won’t make the same mistake.”

Lightbox Expo 2023 is over!! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the table. I can't believe I sold out of both my sketchbooks AND my digimon fanbook... (multiple prints too?!)! I'm incredibly grateful... I will have a 2nd print run of both sketchbooks and online orders for the digimon book up in the next couple weeks so please keep an eye out for that!
More gushing abt the weekend under the cut
I sell at an average of idk... 3-4 events a year? So I would consider myself a frequent congoer though not necessarily full time lol. I'm a little jaded like it's not that I don't enjoy going to cons but theres definitely a bunch that feel like just-another-con-weekend to me lol, sometimes it's more work than play I guess. But this con felt really different! For the first time in a while I left a convention feeling really thrilled and giddy that I had been there. The kind of feeling I used to get when I would table at anime cons in highschool! And I think a lot of that is the people I met and talked to and the overall vibes at the event. Oh also I literally just had surgery and going to this con is like the only thing ive done this week besides lay in bed and play Story of Seasons on the nintendo switch and I thought I would be in pain and miserable but actually I HAD SO MUCH FUN...!!!! even when i skipped after-hours socializing every night to go home early and sleep 12 hours lol. SO ANYWAYS. YEAH. IT'S CORNY. BUT I wanna say thank you again to everyone who stopped by the table. Especially all the coworkers and long time mutuals who I met in person for the first time this weekend!! And the long time followers who told me they have been following me since homestuck or naruto or whenever. And college classmates who I haven't seen since graduation, crazy talented underclassmen who I'd never met but stopped by to say hi... So many people who absolutely made my day. SPECIAL thank you to my table partner Emi who is the best and such a good sport and accommodating to the point that I feel ridiculous when she thanks me for anything. And um also thank you to the artists who were cool and nice when I went up to their tables and blurted out 24917596 compliments in rapid succession. or only got one really awkward compliment out to LMAO... I felt so inspired and awe struck by everyone's work! God it was just so cool to be there. I LOVE ART....
Ok yeah thats it. its been a while since ive written a post-con blog post so earnestly lol.. here's my obscene haul photo I was buying stuff at this con like I was dying and couldn't take it with me LMAO.
Tumblr media
I'm not gonna go tag everyone because I don't think everyones on tumblr but if you dont mind doing a little google search legwork: big x-men prints from chase conley, prints from jacki li/bguavas, azusa tojo, xanthe bouma, nicodaboy, susan yung, hormstuck, nessa tweneboah, linda liu, ash tahilan, zines also from jason dwyer, ash tahilan, aprilyn cunanan, veggiecakeface, deb lee, dune5and, uhh yoichi nishikawa art book and parakid calendar, stickers again from ash, marie lum, hormstuck, chiou, and emi hartana/crowlets OKAY I THINK I COVERED EVERYTHING THANKS FOR READING

thinking about lip x north side innocent college student reader who's his gf. one day he's introducing her to the gallaghers but they all have kinda like prejudices against her and even if she doesn't want to she does the same
i can just picture now the very different reactions amongst the gallagher siblings.
they for sure all have prejudices against you, but i think as you and lip start dating / you start coming around more their reactions change to something like this:
like carl and debbie are for sure the ones who are a lot more reserved. i think just because they seem to have the kind of 'we know who you are before we've met you' type of personalities, maybe ian too but we'll get into him later. debs and carl for sure think as soon as they see you that you're like all the north side people they've met (rude, condescending, kind of a bitch, you know?) but once they get to know you, you kind of take on that role for them. kind of like the role lip took on the one where you're sort of a parent / close friend.
with liam, i imagine he's young when you and lip start dating so he just knows you as he gets older, like you've always been there as this older figure.
ian accepts you right away. kind of like with mindy i think he's really close to you. when everything happens with his relationship dramas with mikey, his mental illness struggles, whatever he's dealing with he's going to you for advice.
and then fiona, my fi, i love her. i think she's really appreciative of you. if one of the older ones can't take the kids to daycare / can't help the with whatever they need, you're stepping in. homework, advice, heaven forbid bail?? they just know they can come to you

love sick c. f.
Tumblr media
this book is also published on wattpad. same username
you and conrad had a secret relationship two summers ago, when you were 15 and he was 16. you broke up with him because your younger sister, belly had liked him, and you were afraid of hurting her. now, flash forward, you were 17, and you thought you had gotten over him, but maybe you haven’t
iii. bonfire
part 1 part 2 part 4
ME, JEREMIAH, AND STEVEN WALKED INTO THE BACKYARD, where we found belly and conrad at.
belly in the pool, and conrad sitting, his feet in the pool, with a cigarette.
"first bonfire of the summer!" jeremiah cheered.
jeremiah was always like this. the life of the party, he could get everyone in a good mood. one of my favorite traits about him
i rolled my eyes jokingly. "oh my god, shut up. you've been doing this for the past five minutes."
"alright, we're totally taking my car." steven told us, then turned to conrad. "come on, man, we're leaving."
"can i come too?" belly asked.
"uh, no." steven said. "the moms are getting everything set up for you."
"see ya." conrad said to belly, then got up. "let's go, slowpoke."
"have fun with the moms!" steven teased, causing me to hit his arm. "ow!"
ੈ✩‧₊˚ ੈ✩‧₊˚ ੈ✩‧₊˚ੈ✩‧₊˚ ੈ✩‧₊˚ ੈ✩‧₊˚
the bonfire was pretty boring, it was like every other party, one or more guys hitting on me, to which i turn them down, and everyone drinking. i always try not to get too drunk, i get a cup or two.
i turned to conrad and saw him making out with his new girlfriend, nicole. she seemed nice, i talked to her a few times.
all of a sudden though, i turned around to see belly on the ground, in the sand. and steven was right next to her.
"belly?" i asked, confused.
"i thought you hated the red sox." belly crossed her arms at conrad.
oh god belly, don't do this.
"who are you?" nicole asked, politely, but also confused, i don't blame her.
"who are you?" belly shot back, rudely.
"nicole. conrad and i went to the deb ball together last summer."
"it was after you guys left to take steven to look at colleges." conrad added.
she's pissed. i know it.
"i thought you said deb balls are bullshit, and all debs are sheep." belly glared at him.
"i didn't-" conrad stuttered, then scoffed. "you're such a brat."
i know this looked bad, but he wasn't always like this. he could be really sweet to belly, like all the time. but i guess this summer was different.
"well, you're an asshole!" belly almost yelled at him.
"belly!" jeremiah ran up to her with a grin. "you came!"
i decided since her and conrad we're done with their small argument, i'd walk up to her too.
"belly!" i hugged her. "what are you doing here?"
"taylor told me i should come." she moved some hair from her face.
"of course she did." i laughed a little.
"i'm about to take her home." steven told me, and jeremiah.
"what?" jeremiah asked, his mood shifting.
"yeah, we're leaving, are you kidding me?" steven grabbed belly's arm.
"okay, steven, chill out." i took his arm away from belly. "she's fifteen, almost sixteen. i think she's old enough to at least be here."
"come on, go hang out with shayla or something." jeremiah told steven.
"let's go." shayla gave steven a look.
"fine.." he looked at belly. "just stay here, and don't talk to anybody."
"oh my god, go away steven." i lightly shoved him away.
"fuck you!" belly yelled as steven walked away, with both middle fingers.
"wow!" jeremiah laughed. "for one, i'm really happy you're here."
"jeremiah!" a girl called.
"okay, i will be right back."
something was telling me that he wasn't coming back though. belly crossed her arms and i wrapped an arm around her, both of us going to sit down.
"flavia?" a guy walked up to us. "hi, it's me, sextus!"
what kind of name is that?
"what did you say to me?' belly asked in offense.
"no, no, no. sextus. from the seventh grade latin convention."
oh.
the boy sat down next to belly, they seemed to be hitting it off pretty well, which caused me to feel like a third wheel.
"yeah, i'm gonna get up and do.. anything else away from here." i bluntly said and got up to leave them alone, it was getting pretty cold, and i wanted to go home.
i go to a corner by myself and get another drink, watching as everyone had a good time, but me, being tired, and bored.
i looked over at conrad, making out with nicole. i had no idea when that happened, he never mentioned anything about that, but then, also, what do i really know about conrad now?
belly was still talking to cam, steven with shayla, and jeremiah with those girls.
i get my phone from my pocket, and call taylor.
she picked up the phone instantly. "hey, what's up? aren't you still at that bonfire?" she asked.
"it's boring." i told her. "all people are doing is drinking and making out. but belly's talking to a guy here. i don't know his name."
"oh?" she smirked. "she told us this summer would be different."
"yeah, she did."
i look up and hear arguing, i see jumper and conrad shoving each other, nicole trying to stop conrad.
"what's going on?" taylor asked, still on the call.
"conrad's probably gonna get into a fight. he's arguing with this guy and they're shoving each other i guess." i responded, looking at them pushing each other.
"you gonna stop him?" she asked.
"it's not my business." i took another sip of my drink, just wanting to leave.
belly ran up to the two, but got elbowed in the face and fell to the floor, which caused me to roll my eyes and sigh. "taylor, i'll call you back."
i go up to belly and the guy she was talking to helps her up, right after the cops came, and the sirens were loud, giving me a headache.
"cops!" someone yelled.
me, belly, and that boy ran to the car, i really wasn't looking forward to getting in trouble with the police.
jeremiah and conrad were right behind us, jeremiah supporting conrad, helping him into the backseat.
"get in the car." jeremiah ordered. "watch your head. legs, legs."
"yes, i know how to get into a car." conrad sassed.
"belly, let's go, get in." jeremiah told her, as i also got into the backseat.
"cam can give me a ride home." belly softly said, then looked at cam. "right, cam?"
"yes, that's no problem." cam said.
"no, you're not getting in the car with a guy you just met." jeremiah defended.
cam stuck out his hand for jeremiah to shake. "i'm cam! cameron."
"your name is cam cameron?" jeremiah sassed him.
"just cam." cam chuckled. "but we actually, we know each other. seventh grade latin convention. so, like, we're not total strangers."
jeremiah scoffed. "okay, no offense, but no. belly get in the car."
"just get in the car." conrad added in from the backseat.
i wanted to say yes to her going, but i didn't want any problems or a headache from conrad and jeremiah disagreeing with me.
belly talked to cam for a little bit, gave him a quick peck, and got into the car. i was proud.
we started driving off, but a few seconds later, jeremiah stopped the car. "fuck! steven!"
steven.. i forgot about him too. "uh, i'll go with you." belly offered.
"okay." jeremiah looked at me. "watch conrad. i'll be right back." i nodded my head.
i looked out the window, trying to mind my own business. i felt conrad lightly touch my hair, stroking my hair.
i wanted to tell him to stop, that he shouldn't be doing this. "your hair's like a little kids. the way it's always so messy."
i didn't know what to say. what was he doing?
suddenly, snapping me out of my trance, we hear a knock on the window, conrad lets go of my hair.
"you kids been drinking?" a cop asks.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/may/27/bison-range-native-tribes-reclaim-montana-nature-preserve
Members of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai tribes (CSKT) and neighbors gathered under a large tent to sing and dance in celebration of a historic event: the tribes’ reclamation of management of the bison range after more than a century of federal management and nearly two decades of negotiations.
“This all dates back to the treaty of 1855, when that agreement wasn’t honored and this land was taken by the government,” said Stephanie Gillin, wildlife biologist for the CSKT Natural Resources Department.
CSKT tribal chairman Tom McDonald said the restoration of the bison range to tribal control is about more than just land. By righting a longstanding wrong, he said, the transfer helps foster trust and encourages collaboration between tribal nations and government agencies, restoring honor to once-broken treaties and allowing tribes to steward the land as they had for thousands of years.
“It’s a restoration of a piece that was missing. It represents a gift of what we may care for to protect and have something for future generations,” McDonald said. The three-day celebration began with a powwow on Friday and ended with half-price entry to the range on Sunday. The event featured appearances by Montana senator Jon Tester and Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland.
On Saturday, Haaland spoke before a crowd at Salish Kootenai College in Pablo to honor the resilience of tribal nations.
“With the loss of tribal homelands and the depletion of the buffalo herds, the plains tribes lost traditional connections with this beautiful animal. But despite that terrible tragedy and loss, we are still here. You are still here. And that is something to celebrate,” Haaland said.
After years of failed negotiations, the transfer was accomplished through enactment of the Montana Water Rights Protection Act of 2020, returning the bison range to CSKT management. The transfer became official on 2 January 2022.
“The return of the bison range to these tribes is a triumph and a testament to what can happen when we collaboratively work together to restore balance to ecosystems that were injured by greed and disrespect,” Haaland said.
From heartfelt speeches to rambunctious Native games, the event was full of life, joy and color. On Friday, an announcer repeatedly proclaimed, “It’s a good day to be Indian.”
Every elder who spoke reiterated the important role played by bison in Native culture, including a deep spiritual connection that makes the management transfer more than a matter of legal logistics.

chapter 1: the meeting
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“hi, my stars!” you say to the camera with a smile. “welcome to or welcome back to my channel! lowkey a bit scared for today’s video. today i’m gonna be going on omegle. i haven’t been on omegle since i was like, 12, so this will be fun.” you finished with a sarcastic smile.
you moved your mouse to the blue button and clicked.
the empty square was soon filled by two pretty girls, with a pinkpantheress song lightly playing in the background. one had burgundy curly hair, and the other had blonde hair.
you smiled. “you two are gorgeous. i love your hair!” you complemented, which made them both grin.
“what the fuck, so are you!” the blonde one said.
the burgundy haired girl looked at you confused. “hey, i know you from somewhere.”
you acted clueless. “really? from where.”
“dude, you’re y/n!” she finally realized and shouted, with wide eyes.
“no way! i follow your twitter, you’re fucking hilarious,” the blonde girl said.
“thanks, i’m flattered,” you responded, while smiling.
“holy shit, are you filming right now?”
“maybe. maybe not.” you replied.
“we’ll let you continue then, bye!” the burgundy haired girl said with a smile, before pressing the stop button.
you looked into the camera. “maybe omegle isn’t that bad. they were absolute angels.”
though, you quickly took your statement back after pressing the start button and seeing a dick.
“authorities!” you shouted in horror before clicking the stop button.
it went like that for about 20 minutes. meeting some cute fans, seeing exposed dicks and even running into the occasional southern racist.
“last one for today. please don’t be a fucking dick or i’ll scream.” you said and briefly closed your eyes, before opening them and pressing start.
“hi,” you greeted the person.
the person was hot. like really hot. he wore a black turtleneck with a small necklace that had a gold key pendant on it. his brown hair was pulled into a messy half-up, half-down hairstyle.
“hello, love.” he said with a smile. he had an accent, which made him 10x more attractive. the nickname honestly gave you butterflies and you were sure that if you were white, your cheeks would be red as fuck. thank god for melanin.
“i like your accent, where are you from?” you questioned.
“germany, but i moved to england when i was 4.” he paused. “what about you?”
“new york.” you told him, as you scanned his background. there was a shelf behind him that had a couple of cameras, along with some books and a little plant.
“you’re into photography?” you asked.
he looked at you, with a look that said ‘how do you know that?’ before he remembered the shelf behind him.
“yes. i’m in college for photography.” he was smiling. it was clear that he loved the activity.
you smiled back, with your head rested on your hand. “you’re gonna go professional?”
“hopefully. after college, yes.”
“maybe you should come take some pictures of me,” you joked.
“maybe i should. you’re very pretty.”
it was embarrassing, really. you grinning widely because of some british guy on omegle. but, he was just so, charming.
“thank you, uh,”
“eren”
“y/n”
you checked the time on your macbook and realized that you had been talking to this guy for 25 minutes. way more than you had been intending.
“oh shit, eren i gotta go.” you said, sadly. “it was nice meeting you!” you smiled.
“likewise, darling.” he responded before you exited.
you looked at the camera. “why was he the hottest man i’ve ever met? anyways, that’s all for this video. hope you enjoyed! love you to the moon and back!” you finished and blew a kiss to the camera.

Previous part
The night had been short, with your father telling you just how disappointed he was for leaving behind his back and Ice telling him to calm down but eventually you did made it into your bed. 
You woke up in a hurry, rushing to get downstairs and find your things, by some miracle everyone was out, and you managed to leave the house quickly. Bob had talked about going on a sailboat with him to go see the whales, the blond boy had proposed it last night and you hadn’t stopped dreaming about it. 
But just as you arrived the boat left the shore, and the only thing you could do was watch it leave towards the ocean, silently cursing yourself for forgetting an alarm.
Today was going to be a horrible day, you could feel it.
--
The house is more active as you arrive, Jake sitting at the table with a bruise around his eyes. His green eyes look tired, and you want to ask him how he is, but Ice comes in before you are able to.
“Guess what is happening later today?”, he seems cheerful, which brings a smile to your lips, he had always been a sweetheart, filled with love.
“What?”, you can’t help but ask, wondering whatever could have gotten your uncle’s attention.
“The debutant ball.”, you hear Maverick and your father groan behind him but Ice simply rolls his eyes and ignores them.
“Would you like to participate?”, the question is unexpected, of course you had heard of it, but you never thought of participating in it yourself.
“Common Ice she is not going to participate in something like that.”, your father says, and you can’t help but look at him slightly offended.
“Why not?”, Ice seems to be thinking the same thing as he looks at his best friend with raised eyebrows, expecting an answer.
“It doesn’t seem like the type of thing you would like to do.”, he says simply, and you take a moment to think it through. The deb ball seemed like something nice, large white dresses spinning around on the dance floor, but it would take a lot of your time. 
“Why don’t you go to the afternoon tea this afternoon to meet the others and think it through after that? We could go shopping and buy you an outfit or two.”, Ice says, excitement appearing at his words, and you can’t help but smile.
“I’ll do it.”, you say, feeling confident for the first time in a long time. You try to ignore the green eyes looking at you in surprise and only focusing on an eager Ice taking you in his arms.
“You will love this! Sarah loved it when she did it!”, there is a sad smile on his lips as he talks about his sister, but he quickly shakes his head before telling you to get ready. 
“I don’t understand why you want her to do that Ice.”, you hear your father say as you leave the room.
“I just want to see our girl in a white dress, at least once.”, there is something behind the words, some underlying meaning that you can’t seem to grasp, a sadness that coats the words. 
The only person you can see is Maverick and he has a hard look on his face, his eyes seem saddened before a small cheerful smile appears and he stirs the conversation to another one. 
--
The shop is big, tons of colours everywhere and you can’t help but snort at some of the options your godfather shows you. Your father is more on the side, looking unsure, until Ice manages to make him laugh with a large hat on his head. 
They quickly shoo you into the changing room and time flies by as you try out the different outfits, some of them making the three of you laugh until you can’t breathe and others getting the approval of even your father. 
You haven’t seen him so relaxed as right now, a constant smile on his face as Ice teases him about something during their college years. He always seemed lighter when he came here and was around his best friend. 
“Alright, this is the last one.”, you tell them as you put on a white dress. 
The both of them are quiet as you come out, their mouth slightly open at the sight of you and you suddenly feel nervous.
“You look so beautiful.”, Ice whispers before getting up and bringing you into his arms.
“Thank you.”, you whisper, holding him tightly.
“It looks stunning on you.”, your father says, suddenly looking emotional and you take him into your arms, holding him tight. 
“Thanks dad.”, you don’t know what you would do without the two of them, and Maverick, and you hoped that you would never have to know.
--
“Do not worry, everyone is nice in there, just be yourself.”, Ice says as he drops you off and you try to look confident as you leave the car.
“If there is any issue you call me and I’ll come and get you.”, your father says, looking as nervous as you but you shake your head.
“Don’t worry I will be back later.”, you promise them before entering the country club.
“Didn’t know you would be here!”, you suddenly hear behind you, and you turn around to find Bradley.
“Brad, hey! It was last minute, but I am supposed to meet the other girls for the deb ball.”, you tell him, starting to feel nervous at the thought of what was awaiting you there.
“You look stunning.”, he seems to be slightly in shock, as he looks at you and you can’t stop the blush from appearing on your cheeks.
“Thank you.”, the words seem to make Bradley function again and he throws you a dazzling smile.
“Why don’t I escort you to the room?”, you giggle as you take his arm and follow him through the many hallways of the club.
“And here we are. This is where I leave you.”, there is a silence around the room as Bradley wishes you good luck and you try not to stumble as you walk into the room.
Everyone seems to know each other as you enter the room, luckily there is a space left at a table and you sit down, looking at all the girls around the table.
“I’m Shayla, welcome.”, the girl has a sweet smile, and seems kind enough as you introduce yourself.
“I’m Nicole.”, you recognize the girl from somewhere, but you aren’t able to pinpoint just where.
The girls talk for a moment before you let out a sigh as you look around, it was a bit more boring than you thought it would be.
“Finding it a bit boring?”, Halo asks you and you can’t help the blush of embarrassment that appears.
“Sorry, this isn’t usually what I do.”, you tell them, and they all smile at you reassuringly.
“Not to worry, these things do get quite boring, but we have a remedy for that.”, Shayla tells you as Halo brings a little bottle out of her handbag. 
“How do you think that we survive these kinds of things?”, she asks you teasingly and you can’t help but laugh in answer as they pass the bottle.
“So, how are things with Jake?”, the name throws you off as you hear Nicole start to talk about what happened last night at the bonfire. So, this was the girl that Jake had been with, the only thing you could do to forget the hurt that was swelling up was drink a bit of the tea, forgetting for a moment that there was some strong alcohol in it.
The etiquette lesson is boring, even more boring than math class and for a moment you think that nothing exciting will happen until you see a flash of blond hair. Bob.  You quickly excuse yourself, rushing to get to Bob in time to talk to him.
“Bob!”, the blond boy turns around to find you there, a wide smile appears on his lips.
“Hey, didn’t expect you to be here.”, he says, and you can’t help but smile awkwardly.
“I am really sorry about this morning, I woke up late and by the time I was there the boat had already left.”, you try to explain and Bob smiles kindly.
“Don’t worry I completely understand. It was a bit short notice, but if you want, we could always go see a movie?”, the proposition brings a wide smile on your lips as you nod quickly.
“I would love that!”, you tell him, and Bob seems to relax at your words.
“I’ll text you the details then.”, he tells you and you quickly nod in agreement.
“By the way, you look absolutely beautiful.”, the words make you feel warm on the inside as you quickly thank him, feeling giddy at the thought of your first date.
--
The drive through is quite full as you arrive there with Bob, but you can only think of how nervous you are currently feeling. He had been an absolute gentleman, getting you something to drink and to eat before asking about how your day went. 
The movie started and as it went on you felt Bob’s hand next to yours, you slowly tried to move your hand towards his and after a moment feel his hand taking yours in his. The moment feels surreal, like it’s part of a movie but as you look at the blond boy and feel his soft skin against yours you know that it is real. 
The moment was perfect. 
Until the car next to yours ruins it. Bradley, Jake and Javy suddenly appear in your vision, the boys looking at you with smirks on their faces.
“Isn’t that your brother?”, Bob asks after a moment, and you can’t help but huff in response.
“Just ignore them, they’re idiots.”
You do try to ignore them, not listen to their overly loud commentary and little remarks but you can see that Bob doesn’t seem as relaxed either before they came. 
“I’ll be back.”, you quickly tell the blond boy before getting out of the car ignoring the three other boys starting to act like they are scared.
“Leave.”, you tell them quickly as they open the window.
“Can’t do, we are watching a movie, and we want to know how it ends.”, Javy says with that stupid smirk that he always has when he is with his friends, like he thinks that he somewhat better than you.
“You aren’t watching it, you are just ruining my date.”, Jake seems to look sour as the word ‘date’ leaves your mouth, but you ignore it. 
“Common we are just teasing you.”, Bradley says, trying to be the peacekeeper but you just feel pissed off.
“I don’t care, go away.”, Javy tries to say something, but you quickly cut him off.
“Either you leave, or I tell everyone about your secret Harry Potter fanfiction collection.”, this seems to put your brother back into the right mindset as he tells the others to leave. 
Jake is looking at you with his stormy green eyes and for a moment you wonder what is going inside of his head before the car leaves.
“I’m so sorry about that.”, you tell Bob as you enter the car, and he simply smiles softly.
“Don’t worry it’s not your fault.”, he tells you and somehow the both of you got closer to each other than before, you can see his baby blue eyes from up-close and you feel like you are somehow being pulled towards him.
There are only a few inches between the both of you when Bob asks you softly if it’s okay to kiss you and you simply close the distance between the both of you. His lips are soft, and his hand has taken yours into his again and you can’t stop yourself from feeling warm on the inside.
This was perfect. 
--
The house is quiet when you enter it, feeling giddy from the perfect romantic kiss, and the promise of another date. Your stomach rumbles and you start to wonder if there could be something left to eat in the kitchen but as you enter it there is only Jake.
“So, how was the date?”, he asks, a sarcastic undertone that makes your skin crawl.
“It went well, not thanks to you guys though.”, you can’t help but say, still feeling frustrated at the three boys.
“Oh, common we were just joking, you can’t take a joke.”, he spats, and you can’t help but stumble back a bit.
“Oh, come off of it Jake, why were you there? I think that they are far more fun things to do on a Friday night then go and ruin someone’s date.”, the boy shakes his head before starting to leave.
“Were you jealous, is that it? That someone finally pays attention to me?”, Jake seems to get even more tense at your words before his green eyes turn stormy once again.
“Why don’t you go look at yourself in the mirror some more, it seems like it’s the only thing you can do these days.”, the words feel like a slap in the face as he leaves the kitchen, leaving you behind feeling like you are losing everything without knowing why.
The only thing you knew is that this wasn’t the boy you had fell for all these years ago.

(Not my GIF :) )
Conrad’s POV:
“Now I announce Y/n Conklin” the woman says and then lists some of the charity events she’d completed in the last few months and her plans for college, I zone out the second I see her step out from behind the curtain. She looks beautiful, no- that’s an understatement, my whole vocabulary seems to have dissipated, her smile simply set my whole brain on fire, my body ablaze. There was no word in that moment to describe her- or how I felt for her.
That was before I saw him, my brother, she hooked her arm through his. He looked handsome too, his eyes didn’t leave her even for the photos, she was looking towards the table though, I can’t help but crack a tight-lipped smile though I’m sure she’s looking at my mom and Belly who looked more than glad she was missing out on this experience.
The dress outlines her body perfectly it makes me regret this whole summer even more than I already do- a sick, guilty feeling building up in the bottom of my stomach. This summer was a composition of shit, arguments and deception. Most of this caused by me, and this time I think I actually lost her. I should have fought harder- now she chose Jere. And she looked happy with that choice.
“Doesn’t she simply look gorgeous, like a goddess?” mom whispered to me and all I could was nod, throat dry as a desert.
When all the couples were set out to mingle after the boy’s dance Y/n made her way to the table, she was showered with compliments and hugs, she even embraced me which didn’t help soothe the itch of my heart because her touch simply reminded me of the time I took her camping, it was me and Y/n and some of my friends from school. She was determined to come and she already knew most of my friends from her random facetimes. Still, she knew me better than the rest of them and was against sleeping in a tent by herself so we ended up sharing.
By the time we had arrived to our destination it was already getting dark, we heavily underestimated the walk and the fact that the location didn’t look the safest. When we all settled into bed after making some food on the fire it was about half eleven maybe twelve. The tent was a two-person so we had more than enough space to lay on our sides of the tent; no matter how much I didn’t want to. I was going to respect her space even when all my muscles were aching with the thought that she was within my reach. That if I only reached out I could run my fingers across her skin.
Everything was fine until around two in the morning, I wasn’t asleep yet, only lucidly, when I felt her shift closer, I immediately turned to look at her. She was looking pale.
“Did you hear that?” she asked sounding panicked.
“No- what did you hear?” I asked, we had all had a few drinks, her more than me but I didn’t think she’d start hearing voices.
“Footsteps.. maybe someone is coming to murder us! Or worse it’s some animal coming to eat us!” she whisper yelled at me. I couldn’t help but smile, she was just adorable. She thought an animal would be worse than a killer.
“Y/n/n I’m sure that’s just the rustle of the leaves, we’re in a forest in October,” I remind her.
“My god I forgot we’re in Halloween month… we did this to ourselves this is a horror film ready to happen!” she exclaimed, wrapping herself tighter in the blanket on top of her sleeping bag.
I don’t know what caused me to do what I did next, the half-sleepy state or the few drinks, or maybe a mix of both… But I said, “It’s ok, come here,” unzipping a side of my sleeping bag and motioning for her to come closer. I laid my hand around her waist and she curled into me more, I could feel her every heartbeat. I kissed the top of her head.
“Thank you,” she whispered into my chest, “I feel much safer now,” she sounded half asleep but I still took pride in her words.
The next morning I woke up to a slight weight on my chest, looking down the corner of my lips listed into a side grin, Y/n’s head was laying on my chest, arm slung across my chest, a smile playing on her lips, my arms were wrapped around her. I know I shouldn’t but I let myself run my fingers on her skin and pyjamas, tracing random patterns.
After a few minutes her voice whispered, “Morning,” she rubbed her eyes and looked up towards me, not moving from her space, “Sorry you’re comfy,” she said and like muscle memory this made my arms closer tighter around her. We laid like that until we heard other’s voices collecting outside. We were the last ones out, I didn’t want to ever leave that position. That day we took every opportunity to be close to each other. To touch each other, accidental hand touches, her jumping on my back, my arm around her shoulder.
We travelled to our next location and prepped for the night, there was a hope in my mind that maybe we’d end up like last night, but I quickly shut it down, I didn’t want to make her feel pressured and I didn’t want to give myself false hope. When we got in the tent to sleep we laid on opposite sides again- but not for long.
“You are much comfier than this pillow,” she chuckled trying to move it around.
I took a deep breath to control my excitement “Well I’m right here,” I announced and she was shuffling closer before I could even finish my sentence. That’s how we spent the six nights of our trip, wrapped in each other’s arms.
I’m brought back to the real moment when Jere comes to give me hug too, I swallow before patting him on the back and teasing him for his dance moves.
I stay quiet for most of the half an hour that we’re all sat around the table, but my heart begins to drum loudly, uncontrollably. The announcing woman calls all the pairs back onto the dance floor. The second Y/n/n and my brother are stood in line jealously hits like a punch in the gut, it should be me up there with her.
The dance begins but all I can focus on is the way her gloves fingers run around his neck, back and arms. Suddenly I’m brought back to one of the nights in my room, everyone was outside talking and drinking after the barbecue. I left to go upstairs with an excuse of a headache but in reality it was more of a heartache for mom. I needed to get my mind off of it, I was going to complete my routine, lie in bed and cry until I fell asleep, but before I could there was a gentle knocking on the door. I ignored it- hoping whoever it was would just leave, thinking it was Jere trying to drag me outside.
“Hey Connie it’s me,” a sweet voice announced, pushing the door open the tiniest bit, I could hear her step in and I assume she looked at the bed. I was close to not saying anything and letting her think I’m asleep but- it was Y/n/n I couldn’t lie to her.
I sat up a bit, “Hey, you ok?” I asked turning towards her.
She brushed some of her hair behind her ears and took another small step into my room, still close to the door, “I was just wondering whether I could come and sit with you a little while?” her voice quiet but hopeful. She always knew what to do, I can only assume that if it was anyone else they’d ask the typical “You ok?” “Come back downstairs” “Headache? Ok I’ll leave you to it,” but Y/n/n wasn’t anyone else.
“Yeah, yeah that’s fine, I’d like that,” I said, she closed the door and came to sit on the bed, looking around, she’s been in this room plenty of times before but I don’t question her sudden interest, her eyes return back to my guitar every few moments.
“Did you want me to teach you a few chords?” I asked, a shy smile on my face, she’s said to me many times she wanted me to teach her since I began playing but I always pushed the notion away, I don’t know what changed.
Her eyes lit up though and a huge smile unfolded on her face and that was enough, I would do anything for her. She jogs over to pick the instrument up and brings it back to the bed where I sat on top of the covers, at I sat beside her, but after fifteen difficult minutes of trying to teach her basic chords I was about ready to give up with verbal explications.
“Ok let me do this differently,” I say shifting slightly, “Is this ok?” I asked and she nodded, I sat behind her, extending my arms over hers and moving her fingers on the stringers with mine. Her hands soft like a feather and her laughter caused her whole body to push back against my chest. She was warm, her hair smelled like lilacs and honey. This wasn’t the first time we were this close to each other, but this time felt different.
“This is C, and this is G,” I went through a few chords with her, and it was better than before but when it came to her doing it by herself it was a different story.
“Maybe I’m not made for music,” she announced turning towards me and shrugging her shoulders, I open my mouth to reply but she kisses my cheek, “Thanks for always being patient with me Connie,” she starts and I want to thank her for being patient with me, “do you want to watch a movie?” she asked. How could I say no to her?
She placed the guitar back on the stand and grabbed one of my hoodies off of the drawer and put it on before getting back on the bed.
“In here- just the two of us?” I asked, not allowing the little shaking in my voice.
“Yeah why not, this way when we watch a romantic sad film Jere won’t laugh, and you won’t be put off watching them with me for the rest of the summer like last year,” she explained getting under the covers, I switched Netflix on and looked towards her expectantly.
She got comfy and we started watching the Titanic, by the time we got to the ending she was grabbing the material of my shirt and crying, I ran my hands up and down her back, trying to soothe her.
“There was space for both of them on that goddamn door!” she expressed.
“I know, I know, shhh,” I whispered.
By the middle of the second movie she was asleep, I don’t know how long afterwards I fell asleep but by the time I woke up she was sat straight reading something on her phone. My head was on her lap, and it was dark, dark outside, there was no chatter coming from outside the window and she was running her fingers through my hair. This was exactly what I needed to soothe the ache in my heart.
Back in reality the cheers and claps begin. Everyone at the table stands up and mom moves to whisper in my ear again, I’m dreading her next comment because I have a feeling I know exactly what she’s going to say, “You taught her to dance like that Connie,” she had a smile on her face. Was she trying to torture me tonight? Was this the consequence I have to endure for my stupidity?
Still, it was true, from when I taught her the basic moves years ago, Steven and Jere were playing videogames, Belly was doing puzzles with Laurel and Y/n had been trying to do the dance moves herself, I offered to help her out. From then on it became a tradition and mom loved it. We learned all different types of dances and she became more confident in herself and each different type.
Mom loved to watch us dance and would often put on songs and watch us, I never complained because it meant I could let my hands linger on her body and she let hers trace my form. Still, we were human and we’d trip over each other’s feet or get tired and frustrated just leaning on each other and laughing. That was the true music to my ears. This was our thing and it meant we were comfortable with each other, it made us much closer. We got quite good too because we got invited to perform at one of the fancy ‘wine nights’ at the country club. After all those years, we were meant for dancing together.
I shake my head back into the reality as she glides towards the table again. A light blush in her cheeks, her arm interloped with Jeremiah’s again, and she’s smiling. That wide toothy grin I have always had the pleasure to witness when we were alone. Not anymore. Another stab to the heart.
“Ah! You guys were amazing! I am so proud of you both!” Mom exclaimed getting out her seat to hug them both. I closed my eyes for a second, taking a deep breath. Only a few more minutes I thought to myself, then I can appropriately excuse myself.
“Thank you, though I couldn’t have done it without all those years of practise so I guess we should really congratulate coach Conrad,” Y/n answers back, Jere releases his arm from hers and wraps it around her shoulders, bringing her even closer. My whole body went numb. What made it even worse was that she called me by my name. She never called me Conrad, it was always Con, Connie, Fisher, never just Conrad. Even when she was mad or annoyed.
“Well we’ve got to go congratulate everyone else but we’ll be back when the food arrives,” Jere announces with a laugh as they walk away from the table. They’re a ‘we’ now, something her and I never were. Jeremiah may not have as many of Y/n’s firsts as I had, but he will have this.
Like I planned I excused myself to take a breather outside, sat on one of the porch chairs, the music from inside somewhere far away, blurred by my thoughts. I don’t look up when a figure approaches me and stars rubbing my back.
“Will it ever stop hurting mom?” I asked her, too afraid to look up.
“A love never goes away Connie, especially not a love like you two shared, if you ever truly love someone they will always hold a piece of your heart,” she said.
“I miss her,” I whisper, a tear in the corner of my eye.
“She’s right here, in that room with Jeremiah,” she confronts me.
“That’s what makes this all so much worse,” I comment, I didn’t know how she’d react to my comment- he’s her son too, she’s seen this summer unfold though- noticing things we never thought the mom’s saw, she laid her head on my shoulder.
I don’t know what happens next, how long they will be together, whether I will ever be able to look at her without all my organs crushing inside, knowing the way I hurt her. But all I know is that there was a time where she could have been, maybe she even was my girl.

Waiting for You by Elle Spencer
Have you ever met someone and felt like you’ve known them in a thousand different lifetimes?
Lindsay Hall was a high school senior when she and her friend Patty discovered peach schnapps, listened to a past-life hypnosis CD, and got an up-close look at who she once was. And who she used to love. The knowledge of her past life has always haunted Lindsay. As her ex is happy to point out, it’s gotten in the way of her relationships too. Even her teenage daughter has politely suggested that she “get the eff over it.” Except she didn’t say eff.
Ren Christopher just wants a quick break before she starts a new job in Paris. She’s just extracted herself from a not-brief-enough, drama-filled relationship. A few weeks relaxing and hanging with her old college friend Deb is just what the doctor ordered. No pressure, no expectations, and absolutely no drama. Everything is perfect until Lindsay faints at the sight of Ren.

Nathan Scott Vs Dan Scott AKA Some of the ways that Nathan is a better person than his father
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
One of the biggest things about Dan is that when he was about Nathan’s age, he got his high school girlfriend, Karen, pregnant. And it’s mentioned many times how Dan chose Basketball over being with Karen. He then abandoned his eldest son, went to college where he met Deb Lee. Within a month Deb became pregnant with Nathan. Dan Scott lived under the assumption that you can’t live your dreams and also be married with a child at the same time. He probably blamed all of his failures on Deb and Nathan and you can see how that bitterness festered. You can see it with Nathan. When Nathan got married, Dan told him that decision would spell the end of his Basketball future. When Haley got pregnant he acted like Duke was the end all be all and without it then he could say goodbye to his career in Basketball. You can see how Nathan found himself in a very similar situation to Dan. They were both about 18 and about to embark on college with a Basketball scholarship. Yet Nathan came that fork in the road and he took the mature/responsible/and loving road. He elevated his wife and child and in the end he achieved his dream of playing in the NBA but he didn’t choose to be an asshole in the process. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nathan is an incredible teammate/team player. That story that Dan tells is so indicative of his arrogance and selfishness. He claims he felt bad for his teammates when he threw the championship game but it’s so clear from the pride in which he tells this story that he felt he was in the right and felt no shame. Which there’s a certain bit of shame that goes into feeling bad for another person especially if you were the one to cause what is making that person feel bad. Nathan is upset about being benched but at the end of the day he does what is best for the team and actively tries to help them win from the bench. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That first scene is really when he start to see what a truly horrible father Dan was. Yeah, we see the repercussion of his abandonment of Lucas. We see him say some truly horrifying things to Lucas but in this moment as Nathan tells this story... we find out that he physically abused Nathan. I mean that is a really disturbing story that Nathan tells and it makes you see Nathan in another light. Up until that point in S1, Nathan had been the bully of the show but in this moment we see how he became that person and it makes you love him even more when he makes the decision to be a better guy and not to become his father and continue the cycle of abuse. That second scene makes me so emotional because Nathan is in the exact position his father was in. His son Jamie is playing in Baseball little league and he is the coach. Nathan perceptively realizes that his son is nervous. He calls a timeout like his father had and then goes over to his son and give him advice in the most sweet and gentle way. And reassures him that no matter how well he does or doesn’t do, it won’t affect how much he loves Jamie and then encourages him/makes it clear that he has faith in his ability.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I feel like this one speaks entirely for itself but I will try to add on to it. In both these situations Dan and Nathan are having marital problems with Deb and Haley respectively and have moved out of the house. Dan makes it clear that he gonna play dirty and do whatever it takes to get Nathan away from Deb even if it means dragging her through the mud and making her out to be an unfit mother. But then you compare that to Nathan and how he will always love Haley and will always be her champion. He could never try to make her out to be an unfit mother and he would never try to turn Jamie against her. He loves Haley and he wants their son to love Haley.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then as sort of a follow up to the last one... Dan and Deb briefly went to therapy at the behest of Deb and later in the show Nathan and Haley went to therapy. And in these two scenes you see the different ways that Dan and Nathan are approaching this. Dan is belligerent from the start. He clearly doesn’t want to be there, he interrupts Deb every time she’s speaking, he cannot and will not take constructive criticism, or take responsibility for any of his actions and the therapy session ends within 5 minutes at which point he walks out. I think he goes one more time and then completely refuses to ever go to therapy again. Nathan on the other hand wants to work on his marriage and so does Haley. They go to therapy for about a month, work through their issues, are respectful of each other, apologize, try to make things right and in the end they reconcile and come back as a couple stronger than ever. 
Nathan Scott is truly one of the most incredible TV characters i’ve seen and he definitely has the best character development. He could have continued on the path he was going but instead he chose to be a good guy. And he didn’t fall into the Dawson Leery syndrome which is when you talk about being a nice guy all the time but act like an ass. Nathan became a nice guy and you see it in his actions, not in his lip service. Nathan could admit when he was wrong, he was a faithful one woman man, he supported and loved his wife, he was a wise and loving and present father. He’s talented. He’s confident yet at the same time not arrogant.
