Wow. Fucking love seeing that one of my roommates threw a whole ass loaf of bread in the trash. That was my bread. I bought that bread. I’m the only one who buys the off-brand bread.
I don’t know if there was something wrong with it or what, but they could’ve at least fucking texted me or something. Instead of letting me find it in the fucking trash.
I’m trying to apply for foodstamps and one of you assholes is throwing out my food without explanation or warning. Thanks.

hello, may I request jing yuan with a teen!reader who is jealous of yanqing? - they are around the same age as him, a new cloud knight who is an orphan, they try really hard to get the generals attention, even making him tea, buying presents etc. they want to be like yanqing, and are a bit jealous of the relationship with jy and yanqing, so they always try to prove themselves, even sacrificing food and sleep for their training, and are reckless during missions (bonus points if yanqing or jing yuan is present at the mission, they would literally fight until they pass out)
to prove oneself worthy
Tumblr media
synopsis - all you ever wanted was somebody to pay attention to you and the one person that does so is already doing so to somebody else
includes - jing yuan ft yanqing - all platonic
warnings - gn!reader, orphan reader, slight angst, fluff, sacrificing food and sleep?, passing out?, jealousy, wc - 1.6k
taglist - @teddirika
Tumblr media
you're parents weren't around. it was a simple fact, whether they had simply disappeared or died was unknown to you. all you ever knew was that you had no outstanding memories of them and that they certainly weren't atound anymore. this fact made it so you couldn't really care less for where they were or what had happened to them, they were rarely a thought that crossed your mind.
an orphan roaming around the streets of the luofu would bring attention, especially when you were resorting to any means necessary to survive and get by. petty thefts and minor acts of aggression were regular occurrences in your day to day live, cultivating a set of skills that aided in your fight for survival - including swift escapes from the cloud knights. an honest part of yourself really believed that you'd be a theif your entire life but a silver haired general thought otherwise.
jing yuan had become aware of the young one evading capture and committing very basic and mainly harmless crimes, how could he not? a part of him could sympathise with your situation, he understood that it was clearly your only mean of survival and so he didn't think that someone with their whole life ahead of them should be confined to the four walls of prison. your skills were impressive, there was a reason you hadn't been caught yet, so jing yuan thought that with the right guidance you would become a fine knight.
he would set out to find you himself, to personally extend his offer and hr wouldn't force you. if you declined then he had no choice but to arrest you himself and so he could only hope that you would see what he was trying to do and accept the offer. luckily for the both of you, you took up his offer. you understood that this would be the better way to pay for your crimes and would help you build a better future for yourself - earning back the trust of the luofu citizens you stole from.
what became pretty apparent very quickly was your unconscious growing attachment to the general. in between your training you would seek out jing yuan and if he wasn't busy you'd stick by his side. jing yuan was always incredibly busy and so you always tried to garner what spare attention he had left and demonstrate to him that his faith in you had not been misplaced - even going as far to bring him legally obtained presents.jing yuan was the only person to ever give you some kind of hope, somebody who believed you could be more than a street thief. it was evident that you would eant to thank him in some way, prove that his help would not go wasted.
jealousy was a vile emotion that made prople do horrendous things, it could break people apart and even force someone's hand to do something vile and unforgivable. you were no stranger to taking to underhanded tactics and resorting to frowned upon actions, so in any scenario you wouldn't have an issue with jealousy. this time it was different. you had been introduced to yanqing and saw him quite often, he was jing yuan's retainer afterall. there was something about him that just made you jealous.
you soon realised that it was his closeness to the general paired with his skills as a swordsman. yanqing had everything you could ever want. he had the generals attention, he had impeccable skills with a sword and he even was a capable knight without one and that made a vile anger boil inside you. but you wouldn't act on your jealousy. if you did you knew that jing yuan would be disappointed in you, he probably wouldn't want to ever look at you again and you would've proved to be a waste of his efforts. so you opted for a slow fix to your jealousy, working day in and day out to improve your skills to prove that you could be better than yanqing.
practically every minute of your day was spent with a sword in your hand, eventually coming to tell yourself that you weren't doing enough. you had managed to best every cloud knight more than once and decided that they simply weren't going to help you anymore, so you started sneaking away. in the dead of knight you'd head to mara-struck areas and defeat them - you didn't care that you lost out on your sleep. meals soon became irrelevant aswell, only ever stopping for a snack when you physically couldn't continue no more. you told yourself that it would all pay off in the end.
jing yuan noticed your absence pretty quickly, especially when even the other cloud knights would start claiming they hadn't seen you for days. a small part of him wondered if you were slipping back into your habits for stealing but he didn't want to think you would. he started piecing things together when he would see how fatigued you look and would try and question you when he was informed of how often your weary body would end up in lady bailu's care. he would ask bailu and she would tell him how your body would often not have enough nutrients to function properly and that your sleep was limited. jing yuan tried to confront you multiple times but you always weakly pushed him away and told him that you just wanted to train more.
he started sending yanqing on missions with you to keep an eye on you but you didn't take it that way, to you it was a dig in the face. to you jing yuan no longer saw you as a capable fighter and was trying to get you replaced on your missions. you wouldn't let that happen. unfortunately due to the lack of sleep and prioer nutrients in your body, your thoughts clouded over and so all your fights became clumsy attempts to wield a sword. reckless actions would be taken and eventually you'd pass out with too many unnecessary cuts, only slightly mitigated by the fact yanqing was there but you pushed him away from helping.
yanqing would soon find himself carrying your unconscious body back to luofu's infirmary's and lady bailu would have to be called in as the other healers simply couldn't fathom your injuries. jing yuan would also be contacted and would be there as soon as he could. each time you'd wake back up, wearily push everyone away and leave before any asked you anything. the next time anyone would see you would be in the same scenario - you passed out on a mission being dragged back to the infirmary.
jing yuan began to worry. each and every time you looked worse and worse but bailu always said the same things about exhaustion and lack of nutrients. jing yuan knew you were purposefully skipping meals and sleep in the name of training but he didn't understand why. he had a small inkling that it was to do with yanqing but he refused to believe you would resort to such extremes over something like this. eventually he had enough, when you woke up again from passing out on a mission he stopped you from leaving and told you dead straight that he was withdrawing you from your duties and that you were going to stay under care in the infirmary.
you were broken by the news. you had worked all day and night to get better at being a cloud knight, to beat yanqing and know all your hard work was to go waste because jing yuan didn't want you on duty anymore. you insisted that you were fine and didn't need this but it became very clear that jing yuan was not going to budge from his decision. however you simply wouldn't listen and would still sneak away from the infirmary to train out of bounds with the mara-struck.
the general had enough of your reckless behaviour. he understood that you were trying to improve as a knight but you're quest to do so had made you weaker and farther away from your personal goal. jing yuan personally pushed aside his duties to seek you out when the infirmary had told him you were missing and when he found you it wasn't a new sight. he watched with a saddened expression as you sloppily and recklessly took down the enemy, he winced when he saw your body hit the ground after you finished. you were out cold again, the general carried you back to the infirmary. this time he waited, waited until you regained conscious and made sure you wouldn't run away.
he confronted you as it pained him to see your talent go to waste and it hurt him to see how you treated yourself in the name of training. eventually he managed to weed the reasons for your behaviour out of you and due to your sheer exhaustion you couldn't help but start allowing tears to slowly escape and roll down your face. in this moment of weakness, jing yuan saw the child he found originally and offered a hug. one you gratefully took.

Seeing that little comic of Ingo practicing and learning self defence of sumo whatever martial arts and then the image of holding down a theif and Emmet running over like - Wtf Ingo!- Amused me so and makes me wonder what other Hisui stuff he pulls in modern times that just completely catches Emmet off guards
Like since i imagine he lived on the mountains ? or in the wildnerness he be a good climber ? Cause of this Emmet just finds him in the weirdest high places like a cat watching over the world and is worried his dear old brother gonna brake a bone.
AAH Thank you!
I looked at Jiu Jitsu for the martial art poses because I was looking at what kind of martial arts were practiced commonly on Hokkaido, and that's Jiu Jitsu!
(This is the piece referred to here btw)
Ingo is definitely gonna have some traits that catch Emmet off guard or are just strange to him and really make him feel that his brother has been leading a completely different life for the last two decades.
I don't think he'd randomly feel the urge to climb high places, but he'd crave to be in nature again, seek out forests, and on rare free days, travel to mountain ranges and go hiking on otherwise dangerous paths. I also think he'd visit asian markets to find foods he'd eat or buy clothes that were common in his clan as he finds them more comfortable, like Ainu robes. He might also find the rush of the city overwhelming for a good while as he hasn't seen this many people in all his years in Hisui, or has a hard time wearing his new uniform as his old one has become so comfortable.
Hope this answers your question, have a great day :D

Gojo Headcannons
Warnigs: nsfw, contains the following, perverted things (panty stealing, fantasies, kinks), pussy slapping, literally just sex.
not proofread
Tumblr media
i feel like gojos a nasty motherfucker despite his looks, like a extreme closet pervert. he would watch a lot of porn, to either take his leaking dick and beat it or just for fun.
he would probably steal all your panties too, like a theif...he just cant help himself its just something about them that fuels his perviness wether it was the smell or the taste he loved them.
he would order food and make you go get the food at the door as he sat alone in your room, the moment you stepped away from the door, he snatches a panty and puts it in his bag.
then then when he gets home his dick is raging for him to touch it. he skips his way to his phone and puts his headphones on and picking a video with the girl closest to your body and strokes his dick at the same pase the people in the video are going. he could almost cum right then and there.
now were getting to the freaky deaky shit, he loves slapping your pussy, he would be leaned up against the headboard and your in-between his arms as he rubs your clit, he gives a evil smile as your eyes are shut and he raises his hand and gives a rough slap on the pussy making you jolt up.
he felt himself leak at the whimper you let you and started spanking your pussy roughly before your covered it and clamped your legs shut glaring at him. he also loves palming it like he would walk by you while you would be on your phone or distracted and he would wind his hand and palm in-between you legs while gripping before you would punch him in the hip.
whenever your away he fucks a sex doll, you know the ones that are just the thighs and the waist, with no arms or legs or head? those ones, he loves fucking them as he hits the "cervix" of the doll.
the sweet sounds of your moans filling his ears as he pounds into the fake doll, pushing it into the bed. he moans at the feeling as he smacks its ass wishing it was you. gripping its waist for dear life as he thrusts into it as the tits jiggled in his face.
he also has some nasty fantasies. like wild shit.its an intrusive thought he wont act on...most of the time. he once thought of fucking you anal style...and he did. you let him fuck your ass, spreading them for him.
you let out moans of either pleasure or discomfort, he didn't care. he came inside your ass after you told him not to and once he slipped it out of the hole after you were done squirting and creaming all over the place, you jumped at your phone to figure out how to get it out of your ass as you hit gojo.
he has one where he wants to be gangbanged by you and geto. or get caught fucking geto or getting fucked by geto -by you(☺️)
he put an apple in your mouth, gagging you like a pig and it made him hard, so he fucked you on the floor. he also likes you humping him, dry or not.
gojos a secret sub only you know it...hopefully...
he once grabbed your panties as he fucked you and put it in front of your neck and pulled, fucking you like that was one hell of a time before you got a scratch on your neck from it rubbing on it too roughly. he also likes to cum in your hair, face, eyes, or rubbing it in your hair on purpose, anything to make you look like a total porn star or slut.
he likes eating ass too. i said it.
now kinks? oh man. he loves you being helpless as he fucks you. he also likes cutting off your air ways, he loves seeing your face change color before he lets you breathe again. you on the other hand, being treated like a slut was your biggest kink. and his...was being dominated by a man *cough* geto.
he and his best friend are...close...VERY close...
you have a suspicion...
BONUS!
you kept bouncing on his thick cock, skin slaps filling the air wasn't the only thing getting filled. you moaned at every bounce, clawing at his chest. "gojo!" you whined bouncing as he guided you, flicking your clit making you squeal. he let out different whimpers as he slid you onto his cock like it was nothing. "f-fuck princess j-just like that." he whimpered and groaned as your walls sucked him in. "I can't! 's too much!" you whined and cried as you kept bouncing, tits jumping aswell.
"im gonna cum!" he said thrusting harder, digging his nails into you. you hissed at his nails and kept sliding down on it, he watched your pussy take him in and he lost it, he started wailing like a bitch as he came into you with no warning as he fucking his babies into you. "fuck princess you're getting tighter." he panted fucking you as you cried his name "fuck gojo, slow d-" you said before you started squirting all over him like crazy.
"yeah just like that baby, so fucking hot." he grunted playing with your pussy as you squirted. you fell down onto his dick, panting trying to catch your breath. "one more?" gojo asked getting hard again and you felt it. "ill treat you like a slut?" he promised you as he leaned into your ear. "ill stuff you full of my fucking kids, you little whore. hows that sound?" he said grabbing your hair and you were horny again. you put your hands on your knees as gojo leaned back onto the bed and let you get to work. you started moving up and down on his dick with no help making him start moaning again.

Sunset Pirates pt. 2
Old Men Series Masterlist <<<
Previous <<<
Tumblr media
Support me on Ko-Fi
• The Sunset Pirates- A Young band of new generation Pirates that has been bulldozing their way into papers as their bounties grew with each passing month. Racking up Billions in damage as they sailed on and becoming on the World Goverment biggest problem
• Each of these young pirates where carving their own paths right into the already scared side if the Goverment
• They each had their own goals in mind. Wishing to better the past generation. Build past the shadows each of them where born in-
• However it was clear one one thing-
• They still had no real idea what the fuck they were doing...
• While the four of them where incredibly skilled in terms of combat and ship maintenance- they were all now incredibly broke.
• "How the fuck are we gonna get money?! We will be out of food in days" Vi protested as the crew sat on the deck trying to have a meeting of sorts to figure out a game plan.
• They had been sailing aimlessly for the last few days and getting close to running out of needed supplies. All of them feeling a strain on their personal pockets-
• "I know I know- We need ideas. Sure destroying shit is fun but we need to make real money here" Dee expressed rubbing his temple, Alucare looking at the crew and rolled his eyes- However he couldn't disagree with them...
• "We need to obviously steal- its how all pirates make their money most of thw time" Alucare pointed out-
• The crew grimaced at this Alucare included, knowing well that they weren't the type of pirates to raid defenseless people and rip gold from their necks or steal Berri from helpless people.
• "Listen it's one think stealing from a rich person but-" Vi started but Dee waved her off before she could finish that sentence.
• "We know, I don't think any of us want that either" Dee expressed. Sighing as everyone fell silent- That was till Bee chuckled to himself suddently and everyone turned their attention to him.
• Bee being the ever extremist yet the only one that seemed to pitch ideas sat up from his lounged position on a barrel with a wide smile like the devil at the crew.
• "So sounds like- We steal from the World Goverment-"
• Everyone Stared at Bee before the Vi and Alucare erupted in disagreement.
"And please do tell, How and where? You cant just say Steal from the World Goverment" Vi argued and Bee smiled "Easy- I heard when we are that ship that you Alu was imprisoned on-"
"Don't call me that-"
"I heard that they where planning to renovate Marine Base 45 with a new Safe after the summer ends since its faulty- We can just break in and steal it. It's broken anyways"
• Bee pitched as the other two crewmates ripped apart the plan. Dee however quietly thinking and giving a defeated sigh "It's the best idea we have-" He finally said making Vi look at his shocked "Are you fucking serious-"
• "This is a bad idea-" Alucare pointed out
• "Do you have one?" Bee shot back, Making the swordsman scowl at him and Vi huff but fall silent-"
• "Since you two are hell bent on this, then you two have someone to help break into the safe- Neither of us know how to" Alucare pointed out. Making the twins look at each other for a moment.
• Dee clicked his tongue and leaned back- Bee smirking as well.
• "Know just the Duo-"
- This is not what Alucare ment by getting a skilled Theif or in this case thieves. Bee and Dee had just returned from grabbing these skilled 'highly skilled pick pockets' but instead Alucare stared at two cherry nosed brats, his eyebrow starting to twitch.
There was two little girls- clearly not even in the double digits in terms of age, both in little pink-tails and dressed in frilly dresses with pale blue eyes like the older twin duo. It didnt take a wild guess to figure out these where their baby sisters.
Vivian was gushing at the two little girls the second their boarded the ship, Leaning down and poking their little cheeks as she swooned at how adorable they were and gifting them candy. A clear softy for kids-
"You've got to be shitting me- You couldn't find anyone who had hit puberty yet?" Alucare growled at the older twins, Dee rolling his eyes.
"You said we needed thieves and this is what I got- Now do you got any better idea?" Alucare scoffed, gesturing to Vi who was still gushing over the girls who where eating up the attention from the redhead.
"You expect us to break into a secure Marine safe with two toddlers-"
"We are right here you know-" Ari grumbled, glaring up at Alucare who sighed heavily at this.
"I'm aware-" Alucare calmly shot back, Looking to Bee and Dee as he rubbed his temple.
"If I knew I'd be babysitting I'd just have went home-" Alucare mumbled- Ali glaring hard at Alucare as she casted her sister a glance.
"We have to get someone else- I understand love for a siblings skills but this is ridiculous. Im not going to let two infants on a dangerous task like this. Your sisters or not- I doubt they could steal candy from each other" Dee and Bee looked at each other and just shrugged. Alucare ready to tear into them again but being quickly cut off.
"Pretty ring- And lots of money!" Ali said loudly to herself, Holding up Alucare prized Ruby ring in her tiny palm the one that Mihawk had gifted him when he left home and his bag of Berri he kept hidden on his person- The dark haired man blinking in confusion before looking at his hand.
"How did you-" He started before snatching the ring and money from the little girl. Ali giggling at this as Did Ari who was scooped up by Vivian.
"Told you- Best damn thieves you can find" Dee waved off, Already suspiciously touching his own pockets as he was sure his sisters had lifted something from him.
"The infamous Bubbles and Squeak- Now if these two can steal from Sir Crocodile, Mihawk and essentially all of the Pirate Lords undetected including cracking ever safe they can get their little fingers on. I'm sure they can steal from the military-" Bee detailed Excluding themselves from the stolen list. Alucare crossing his arms, looking.. impressed?
"These two did all that?-"
Vi commented with a eyebrow at the little girls as she held Ari who was tucked to her side. Looking to the little girl and chuckling a bit in amusement-
"How long do we have them for?"
"72 Hours, Father has our Mother distracted and lied to her about where the girls are for this" Dee explained with a sigh- Knowing their mother would lose her shit finding out they were taking two 7 year olds out on a pirating adventure.
Alucare adjusted the ring on his finger and nodded- Looking to the two little girls calmly.
"Seems we are setting sail to Marine Base 45-"

Let's Talk About Gabe Ugliano for a minute.
Percy show is out, I saw it, then had a mental breakdown.
More under the cut
So let's like. Let's talk about Gabe for a minute. Is Gabe Ugliano as bad as he is in the books? No. He isn't. Is Gabe Ugliano more likable in the show than in the movie.
No! No, he isn't! I'm not sure where the Fandom is coming from with "Gabe is actually likable now" - that's just the actor being really good at acting?
Gabe in the books was what I like to call Aggressive Abusive - he openly threatens Percy, is an ass to Sally, all sorts of nasty. I hate him. Makes him getting turned to stone extremely satisfying.
But then in the show version, Gabe is more tame. Sally has back and forth with him. They watch the Knicks together. That's not abusive! That's just jerk behavior! He said please, he's not abusive!
You're right. He's not Aggressive Abusive, he's a new kind of monster - the Charismatic Abuser. While not as overtly abusive as he was in the books, Gabe Ugliano is a new kind of ugly. He's nice to the most minimal degree. So what ARE his abusive traits that we DO see?
He puts all the financial burden on Sally
He answers Sally's phone, meaning Sally doesn't have the right to privacy.
He neglects to care about Percy's education.
He gambles away his money on Fantasy Poker and, I assume, horse racing - adding more financial strain to Sally.
When Sally mentions they're leaving to Montauk, there's this "When did I approve you leaving to Montauk." back and forth, to which he only relents when Sally agrees to give him food.
On the food thing, it's a Demand at first, then he sarcastically throws in a Please to get what he wants.
It's a more nuanced take on abuse than presented in the novels, sanitized for modern Disney audiences and also in line with the show's theme of "when is a monster a monster, when is a hero a hero." Many people think this is to add nuance to Medusa and do an Oops All Redemption Arcs but I think it's different than that.
I think Gabe will end up getting petrified because it's such an important story beat for both Percy and Sally. Sally has more agency than her book counterpart, but she doesn't have more power. She doesn't sucker up to Gabe, but she's still trapped in that relationship because of what that relationship means for Percy (remember, Gabe is protecting them with his human stench).
My dad wasn't overtly abusive to my mom. We never saw if he hit her or not - but I noticed bruises. The abuse was more towards me. My mom had agency in that dynamic but not power. You don't have to act like a complete monster to be abusive. He took us to Disney World, gave us Nintendo consoles, took us to see every Marvel movie in the world. He also neglected me, favored my brother, put unrealistic expectations on me, and I think he's the reason why my mind is so shattered at this point.
You don't have to be a complete monster, certain people just need to see you that way.
An aside about Sally Jackson:
People are saying Sally's character is completely ruined because of Gabe being nicer. Sally isn't defined by Gabe's abuse. She's defined by her resilience despite the abuse. She's defined by her resilience, her kindness to Percy, her defiance in the face of unwavering challenges. Reducing her character in The Lightning Theif to just "a victim of Gabe's abuse" sits so unwell with me. This is Sally "a queen amongst mortals" Jackson. Sally "observe as I fuck up the armies of Kronos with my shotgun" Jackson. Let's not reduce her to JUST a victim of Gabe's shit.
Anyways percy show 9.6/10 - what's with the cuts to black I don't get it

Entry 5 from the Diary of Holly Joestar
(written by @gncgang)
Tumblr media
I woke up last night really late becuase I was hungry. I was gonna wake up Papa but then I heard a noise from the kichen, so I sneeked over there. I thought a theif was robbing our food wich made me so mad cuz I was so hungry. But when I looked in I saw two eyes staring at me on top of the frige! They looked just like mine, wich look red and a little yellow, and like Papas too. Then the eyes on the frige said “Holly,” and I reelized it was Uncle Sanna! Uncle Sanna was also getting a snak, and he lifted me up to the top of the frige so I could sit with him and eat too. He was eating the venyson Papa had got from the woods and he shared it with me. I chewed on the bone a little bit. Then Papa (smaller Papa, not Papa whose Uncle Sanna’s brother) came in maybe cuz he heard us, and when he looked up and saw us he screamed SO LOUD! He jumped really high too and fell down, and it was even louder becuase he pulled some chairs down with him. It was like CRASH CLADDER BANG!! I was a little bit scared first cuz I thought Papa was hurt but then I heard Uncle Sanna start laughing. He dosent laugh really loud like Papa or Mama or Nonno, insted he laughs all on the inside. I only heard it so well because I was sitting in his lap. His nose gets wrinkly when he laughs. I started to laugh too cuz Papa did look kinda funny on the floor in his jammas. I love Papa. I love Uncle Sanna too.

🥧 Crumbs And A Smile 🥧
Original story
Ao3 version
Pie recipe
A small slice of maple buttermilk pie sat idly on a plate at the supper table as Philip and Caleb hovered over it with hungry smiles on their faces while holding forks in their hands.
Their excited eyes started to sparkle as both boys stared down at the rich dessert before them.
The pie looked so perfect and well-made.
Its flaky and tender gold crust was complemented by the creamy custard filling, which was pure and smooth thanks to the well-mixed blend of brown sugar and maple syrup.
To enhance the pie's tanginess and sweetness, both lemon zest and cane sugar were sprinkled on top as a finishing touch.
When it came to pie, Philip and Caleb shared a similar fondness for the food.
However, the dessert was quite costly in the Puritan town of Gravesfield.
A single slice cost the boys all of their income that they had earned last week from their butter business.
But, in a way, the expense was worthwhile since maple buttermilk pie was their favorite treat.
Plus, purchasing the ingredients to bake their own at home was a no-go since Philip was far too little to use or be near the oven, and Caleb's baking skills weren't exactly the best at his age.
"Caleb, Caleb, Caleb!" Philip began as his voice chimed with such excitement.
"Who gets the first bite, huh?" he asked, eagerly wanting to know as he inquired the question to his brother a second time. "Who, who! Tell me! Tell me, tell me, tell me!"
Philip was unable to cease his buoyant bouncing.
This causes Caleb to let out a chuckle at his hyperactive little brother as he smiled a gentle smile at him, closing his eyes.
"Well," the blonde began. "I figured we'd cut the piece into two equal halves so that we both get one. That way, it's fair!" Caleb said, finishing his sentence in a tone that was both cheerful and calm.
His brown eyes begin to open back up again.
They spot Philip and soon take note of his messy, new appearance.
The brunette's mouth was now covered with pie as nothing but crumbs remained on the plate.
"Yay!" Philip cheered. "When do we get to do that?" he innocently asked, licking his lips.
Caleb was taken aback by his brother's rapid eating.
He didn't hear a single chewing sound come from him when his eyes were shut.
In spite of the slight shock, however, he chuckled, ruffling the pie theif's hair some.
"Hmm," he hummed. "Perhaps maybe next time, if someone doesn't decide to go gobbling it all down," Caleb answered, gently scolding his brother while sending him a stern look that was laced with playfulness.
Philip giggled with a grin, showing off all his teeth, which had bits of pie stuck in them.
Caleb could feel his teeth ache at the sweet sight.
This leads him to chuckle a third time
As sweet as the piece of pie could have been in his mouth, nothing was sweeter to Caleb than seeing Philip smile.
He would rather see him happy than have all the sweets in the world.

Atsushi joins the Sheep
Atsushi running away from the Orphanage at 9 years old, knowing about his ability.
Trying to get as far from the place as possible and ending up in Suribachi City.
Atsushi manages to lay low for a while, but one day he realises the food he just stole was from 13 year old Chuuya Nakahara himself.
Whoops.
Chuuya is pissed because that my food damnit, and than amused and confused when he finally corners and sees the teeny theif.
Atsushi is just like I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm so sorry Mister Nakahara!
Chuuya sighs, tells him to chill out and splits the food with him.
Atsushi, poking his head out from his hands and carefully taking a piece before lighting up and eating it.
Chuuya will deny it later, but the kid is adorable.
They end up running into each other more, at one point Chuuya uses his ability and Atsushi with all the tact of a kid is like "you're a monster too?!"
Chuuya frowns, but notices that Atsushi isn't saying it as insult. Kid's looking at Chuuya in starry eyed awe.
Chuuya: Monster? Wait...lights up You have an ability too?!
Atsushi: excited, loud whisper I'm a tiger!
Chuuya: pauses That's not poss....thinks about Arahabaki you know what, why not.
They grow close and Chuuya asks if Atsushi can join the Sheep, as a way to give him some protection.
The Sheep are reluctant especially with Atsushi's young age but allow it once they find out he's got an ability.
Atsushi, ecstatic to have a family soon worms his way into everyone's hearts.
Though he stays at Chuuya's side, to the point people joke he's like Chuuya's guard dog.
This doesn't please everyone, because some of the Sheep are friendly but others see Chuuya as more of a weapon than human.
And that starts to include Atsushi.
Especially when the full moon comes and Atsushi transforms, Chuuya is able to get him somewhere where he can't harm anyone and stays by his side throughout his transformation.
Atsushi is afraid Chuuya will leave and Chuuya just hugs him close and says he never will.
Some of the Sheep, especially Shirase think of setting Atsushi onto their enemies during a full moon but don't voice those ideals.
Chuuya is very protective of him and the threat of his wrath keeps them quiet.
Atsushi is oblivious to all of this, he can sense somethings up but they all act kindly to him so he has no idea.
He learns to steal, learns to be stealthy and even control his ability better, though full moons are still eventful.
Each one Chuuya stays at his side.
2 years later, Port Mafia Executive Osamu Dazai comes a calling and Chuuya ends up going with him to learn about Arahabaki.
It's the first time Chuuya is away from Atsushi, not wanting him to get in danger nor for Dazai to learn about him.
After finding out about Chuuya's deal with Dazai and the Port Mafia, the Sheep turn on him.
They consider turning on Atsushi too because of his loyalty to Chuuya.
But learn Atsushi has no idea about what Chuuya's been up to and realise that they can use Atsushi against him.
Atsushi ends up being drugged so he can't interfere when they and the GSS attack Chuuya.
When Atsushi wakes up he's told he was drugged by the Port Mafia who were trying to kidnapp him.
Atsushi is told that Chuuya abandoned the Sheep to join the Mafia, which he doesn't believe at all but than sees footage from the arcade of Chuuya's deal with Dazai.
And is asked to decide if he will leave or stay.
Atsushi's heart shatteres because yes the Sheep were all like family too him but Chuuya was his big brother.
His big brother who promised he'd never leave him... And now he's gone.
For the first time in Atsushi's life he feels angry. Angry at Chuuya for leaving him, angry at Dazai and the Port Mafia for taking his big brother away.
But most of all he's angry at himself for not being able to protect his family, for not being enough for Chuuya to stay.
The Headmaster was right, Atsushi was never made to be loved.
He was a monster and Chuuya had finally realised that.
But he could protect those he had left....
Atsushi now 11 years old, makes his choice and kneels before Shirase, the new King of the Sheep
Elsewhere Chuuya kneels before Mori, head of the Port Mafia.
Atsushi: Then I dedicate my blood and all I am to you, your majesty.
Chuuya: I will protect this organisation that you work to support.
Atsushi: And I will work with you to decimate your enemies.
Chuuya: Our enemies will come to fear my crushing gravity.
Atsushi: That will crush those who oppose the Sheep.
Shirase: smirks because he's won Welcome to the Sheep, Atsushi Nakajima.
Mori: smiles Welcome to the Port Mafia, Chuuya Nakahara.
Chuuya doesn't go back for Atsushi because he was badly injured, and was lead to believe that when Shirase stabbed him that he'd already killed Atsushi.
Chuuya goes on but even at 22 he refuses to work on a full moon night. On those nights he spends alone grieving his little brother.
While Atsushi transforms alone, locked up and chained so he doesn't hurt anyone.
With no Chuuya to comfort him and none of the Sheep able to deal with his tranformed state.
Atsushi grows, he stays kind at his core but he's also bitter and cold. There was no one to sheild him when Chuuya left, and he had to learn fast.
He's ruthless in a way he never was, he's beloved by the Sheep but their King and many of its members see him as nothing but a weapon.
More beast than man.
That is how they both remain until years down the line when Chuuya drops his glass in shock during a meeting.
"Did you... Did you just say a tiger...?"
"Hm? Well yes there's been tale of a rampaging tiger in Yokohama.
It's believed to be the work of an ability user, quite a crafty one indeed there's a seven billion yen bounty on its head."

More Than Best Friends
pairing: Poe Dameron x Fem!Reader
summary: Y/N and Poe are in love with each other, but somehow they’re the only ones who don’t know it
word count: 4500
warnings: a wee bit of angst but nothin too bad
masterlist
birthday celebration masterlist
"You two are definitely in love." Rey said as she sat down to eat lunch. Y/N and Poe had been sitting there alone before, and it wasn't long before more people joined the two.
"We are not in love." Y/N chuckled, trying to keep the hurt out of her voice. They might not be in love, but she was. It was like her worst kept secret, because obviously everyone except Poe could tell.
"I literally just watched you stare lovingly at each other. Poe moved hair out of your face as if he were gonna kiss you." Finn said as he sat.
"That was not lovingly. She had food in her hair." Poe turned to be more square to the table, shoving food in his mouth.
"How nice of you." Y/N snorted, also beginning to eat again. She was used to it by now, being best friends with him for so many years. Poe was just like that, he was different.
"That is such bullshit." Rey said under her breath. Y/N rolled her eyes, not saying any more on the subject. Her and Poe had long since stopped trying to convince their friends that they were 'just best friends, I promise!'
The two had been best friends for years. She had been a Spice Runner with him, barely escaping together. The thought of the pair of them being any more than best friends - well, it was unlikely. If Poe had feelings for her, he would have told her, but he hadn't, so he doesn't.
"It's like you and Finn having feelings for each other." Y/N shrugged. She thought it would gain her some support, but it seemed to have the opposite effect.
"No, it's not." Rey and Finn both answered calmly. Y/N knew that, she knew it wasn't the same at all, they all knew it, but it didn't hurt to try and defend herself.
"No, it's not." Y/N mocked quietly, poking at her food. She just wished everyone would shut up about the topic, shut up about their unrequited love, shut up about their relationship.
"We're just playing with you guys." Finn defended, but Y/N rolled her eyes. Everyone knew damn well that the two acted like they were in love.
"I think it's funny. Don't you, darling?" Poe turned to Y/N, smile on his face at the use of the pet name that was sure to send their group into another round of teasing.
"Hilarious." Y/N whispered, silently standing up and grabbing her trey.
"Come on!" Finn yelled, their other friends following his protest. Y/N just continued to walk, dumping her food in the corner of the mess hall and walking out the door. She just needed a break from everyone, a break from the teasing. It was too much for her.
"Oh, hi Y/N!" Rose said as she entered. Y/N smiled, trying to be thankful that at least one of her friends wasn't going to try and convince Poe of feelings he didn't have. She was sure it was worse for her - her trying to convince her friends that she didn't have feelings when all she wanted to do was tell Poe.
But she couldn't do that, could she? Poe had been a Spice Runner, a criminal, theif, and smuggler before. But now, he was so much more. He was a war hero, the best pilot in the galaxy, and a flirt. Her feelings in his life hardly mattered. She was sure there were multiple girls on base, thousands in the galaxy, who had a crush on Poe Dameron.
"Hi, Rose." Y/N wanted to move past the girl and go to her room before any of her friends caught up, but that would be rude, and Rose didn't deserve that.
"Why're you leaving so soon? Did you eat?" Rose asked, looking over the other girl's shoulder to see their friends. When Y/N turned, she saw Poe get up, and she knew she needed to leave. Poe was definitely going to follow her, and if he did she wasn't sure how their conversation would play out.
"Uh," Y/N looked down at BB-8, who was beeping at her side. "Rose, why don't we talk later?" Y/N didn't wait for her response, gliding out the door and hoping BB-8 wouldn't follow her. Y/N was full on running by the time she made it to her hallway, the BB unit beeping shortly behind her.
"Y/N!" Oh shit. Poe was also running now, but he wouldn't make it before she got to her door. She just needed some time alone, time without their friends or Poe, who would just make her fall harder and remind her exactly why they couldn't be together. She turned and slid into her room as she hit the button, barely standing in time to shut the door. She wasn't quick enough, however, and BB-8 slid through after her, hitting a wall before he could stop. Her room was small, but she didn't mind. It's not like she had anyone to share it with anyway.
"BB-8, what are you doing here?" Y/N asked, sitting on her bed. She just wanted to be alone, to gather herself and rest. Her squadron had a mission tomorrow; it was small, sure, but she didn't much care. Ever since the War was won, the squadrons would take turns going to different planets to answer their distress calls or make sure they were doing alright. It wasn't hard work, but it was tiring. Sometimes there was an old Imperial ship they had to take care of, one that hadn't gotten the message. BB-8's beeps brought her back to reality, and she listened to him tell her about how his master was worried about her.
"Poe? He can't be that worried, buddy. And besides, I'm fine." Y/N shrugged, trying not to understand the droid's disapproving beeps. She didn't want to hear it.
"Y/N?" As if they had summoned him, he was knocking on her door, panting against it. "I did not just sprint across base to have you ignore me!" He yelled. Y/N's plan was to be quiet and hope he'd leave, but BB-8 pretty much destroyed that idea. He beeped out to Poe, rolling to the door.
"I'm trying to sleep." Y/N lied, which didn't even matter, since BB-8 immediately called her out.
"Y/N," Poe sighed, slamming his fist on the door once again. "Please, I need to talk to you." He sounded so upset, Y/N almost opened the door.
Almost.
"Just go, Poe." Y/N told him, laying down and turning onto her stomach and putting her face down in a pillow. She was trying not to cry, but it was hard; she was overwhelmed and Poe being there but not being able to comfort her made it worse. They were just best friends, they had been for years. BB-8 beeped out to Poe, and Y/N shot up.
"You're crying?" Poe asked through the door, and Y/N scoffed. That droid was snitching on her so quickly she was sure it was anticipating her moves and reading her mind.
"No, no I'm not." Y/N wiped her face, trying not to sniffle. Poe would be able to hear it and then she'd really be done.
"Just let me in!" Poe begged, hitting his fists against the door once more.
"Please," Y/N begged, tears rolling down her face. She couldn't do this today. She wished she could just rest and then have at least a day alone while on her mission.
"Y/N, what's going on?" Poe asked, so quiet she almost didn't hear it. She hesitated, but then she heard someone yelling down the hall.  "Now?" Poe yelled back, not seeming happy. Y/N took a deep breath, wiping her face once more and standing.
"Yes, General. It was reported only a few hours ago." A girl was talking to Poe, Y/N's heart stopped for a second. She knew Poe was more than capable of going on surprise missions, but they always worried her.
"Shit, alright." Y/N could just see Poe running a hand through his hair. "I'll be out of here soon." Y/N opened the door quickly, seeing Poe for only second. His eyes were wide and his face was worried, but she only let BB-8 through the door before she was closing it again. She knew Poe had the chance to see her - he had even opened his mouth to speak before she had closed the door in his face.
"Y/N, please! I need to talk to you before I go! Y/N!" Poe begged, but she just walked to the bed and laid down, face in the pillows once more. Poe continued to yell and hit the door, but she put a pillow over her head to drown it out.  She wasn't sure if she had fallen asleep before or after Poe had left, but she wasn't able to sleep long. She woke up multiple times, tossing and turning until she figured it was time to do her pre-flight check anyway. She got up, taking a deep breath and putting her flight suit on before braiding her hair up. As she did, she thought about Poe, and how she had maybe been a tad dramatic the day before. She knew she needed to talk to Poe, that she couldn't keep living like that, but she wasn't sure she would able to live without Poe anyway.
"You wait for me now, hm?" Y/N asked as her R4 unit beeped happily outside her door. "Be careful. People are gonna start thinking we're a team, just like Poe and his electric pet." Y/N joked as she began to walk to Poe's door. He hadn't come to see her after his mission last night, which was weird, since they always went to each other as soon as they were back from missions. It was their way of letting each other know that they had made it, that the other could stop worrying.
Maybe that's why she couldn't sleep last night.
"We're going to stop by to see if Poe is back." Y/N told R4, who's beeps did not seem positive enough for her. "I just need to make sure he's okay." She ignored R4's beeps about her crush, since they were getting close to Poe's anyway.
"Y/N," Finn caught her attention from a connecting hallway, and she turned to face her friend.
"Finn," She greeted, noticing his worried look.
"I'm sorry about earlier, we took it too-"
"What's wrong?" She asked, not wanting to talk about the previous day. The fact that Finn had mentioned it simply as 'earlier' told her he hadn't gone to sleep yet.
"You don't know?" Finn's eyes were suddenly wide, and Y/N blinked. Many things were going through her mind, and she couldn't pick one to focus on.
"Know what?" She wanted her voice to come out even, but it was too high, wavering too much for it to seem normal. "I don't have time for this. Where is Poe?" She asked, knowing she only had a couple minutes before her flight time. Finn seemed even more upset at this, and he stepped toward her.
"No one's told you?" Finn moved to put a hand on her shoulder, and that's when she knew something bad happened.
"Finn, spit it out! Obviously I haven't heard anything." Y/N felt a little sorry for snapping at him, but he didn't seem all that upset at the fact that she had just lashed out.
"It's Poe. Control lost him yesterday." Y/N felt her heart drop. She swore her legs were numb. Of all the things she was thinking, this had to be the worst.
"What do you mean, 'lost him?'" Y/N whispered, heart racing way too fast for her to think. It was like her brain had twisted in on itself, forming a pretzel. All her thoughts were jumbled, a mess of not being able to breathe.
"He's not confirmed to be dead, but no one knows where he is." Finn answered, but it didn't make Y/N feel better. If he was gone for much longer it didn't much matter.
"I have to find him." She whispered, walking away from Poe and to the hanger.
"Y/N," Finn said, grabbing her arm to stop her. She pushed him away, but Finn continued to follow her. "Where are you going?"
"Poe, he needs me. I have to go." She explained, grabbing her helmet in the hallway leading to the hanger. She was putting it on and climbing in when she realized the rest of her squadron had been doing the same thing.
The mission.
She had forgotten all about it. She wanted to go find Poe now, her heart was practically begging her to, but she also knew that if she didn't go on the mission, Poe would probably kill her.
She just wished she hadn't left things the way she did.
She flipped on her control signals before speaking to the center. "After the completion of this mission, I will be leaving to find General Dameron." She told them with no room for argument. She doubted they would have anyway, but she wouldn't have taken it if they had. Most of the remaining people on base knew better than to mess with her.
She was going to find Poe.
But Maker, she was exhausted.
She knew she should have gotten more sleep the night before, she knew she shouldn't have been thinking about Poe, but she couldn't help herself.
It's probably why she didn't see the stray ship that had decided to fight them. It's definitely why she got hit on her way to go find Poe after the mission.
~
"Poe?" Rose asked as she saw a dark haired man getting out of the battered X-Wing. Poe tore his helmet off, looking around. From where she stood, Rose could see a large cut across his cheekbone that didn't seem to be scabbing too well, a couple more on the other side of his face. There was a dark bruise around his temple that stretched from his cheekbone to his hairline, and his eyes had dark circles underneath them.
"Rose," Poe stumbled over to her, dropping his helmet before tripping at her feet. He stayed down, and she quickly got to her knees. Finn ran over, having watched his friend face plant, and also fell to his knees.
"Poe?" Finn moved his friend's face and Poe opened his eyes so suddenly it startled Finn backwards.
"Where is she?" Poe rasped out, moving to try and stand. He ended up sitting though, Rose and Finn guiding him against one of the crates. He was gulping in air as if his lungs didn't have capacity, and it worried his friends.
"We need water!" Finn yelled out, looking around at people scrambling to get their General some water. He turned when Poe hit him a couple times, still panting. His friend was looking worse for wear, and definitely needed at least three hours in the bacta tank.
"Where's Y/N?" Poe was having trouble keeping his eyes open, and Finn was sure he was going to pass out very soon. He shared a look with Rose, both worried.
"Poe, we're going to get you to the bacta." Rose told him as she looked around. "We need a medic! Multiple medics!" She shouted out, seeing more people move. Poe shook his head lightly, eyes staying closed for longer now. He grabbed her arm, holding her tight.
"Where," His throat was almost too dry to speak now, and Finn had to drip the water into his mouth when he finally received the container. When Poe had swallowed, he opened his eyes once more. "Y/N. Please." He begged. He just wanted to see her. Almost dying had taught him a lot about his life, much of which he didn't know. He realized that not telling Y/N his feelings was the stupidest thing he'd ever done, and he promised himself it he ever made it back to base he would tell her immediately.
"We're going to heal you up, General." A man said, the medics getting ready to lift Poe.
"Y/N," He groaned again, but he was too tired. He couldn't keep his eyes open any longer. He felt himself being lifted up, onto the medic table, and he took a deep breath as he tried to fight the sleep.
"How are we gonna tell him that Y/N hasn't come back?" Rose asked, thinking Poe had been knocked out.
"What?" Poe was renewed with energy, sitting up. He pushed away the medics with his last remaining strength; he needed to know what happened to her. "Where is she?" He yelled, still pushing and fighting.
"Poe, you're gonna hurt yourself!" Finn told him, wishing his friend would just pass out so he wouldn't have to explain.
"What happened to her?" Poe felt like his life was going in slow motion, but everyone else was still fast enough to restrain him. "No! Stop!" He yelled, looking around. This had to be a joke - there was no way she was gone.
"Poe, please, we can talk about this later-" Finn had gone over to comfort and restrain him, but it was too late.
"I need to know! I need to find her!" Poe finally was able to roll off the table, and he crawled to his helmet.
"Stun him." Finn said sadly as he watched Poe stumble to stand. He tried putting on his helmet, but one of the people around him had set the gun to stun already. Finn watched Poe fall on the ground, helmet rolling away.
"That went much worse than I expected." Rey said as Poe was lifted up to the table once more and carted off.
"I'd like to see you do better." Finn turned, and Rey sighed. Everyone was on high alert ever since the General and his right hand girl had gone missing, but it seemed only some of it had cleared up when Poe made his way back.
"Any news?" Rey asked, hoping for another piece of goodluck.
"The only news we have is Poe coming back. We haven't heard anything from Y/N since she was hit." Rose informed her, and they all sighed. They weren't sure what to do at this point - Finn had sent a couple pilots out to look for Poe and Y/N, but they had all come back with nothing. Everyone was starting to get worried, a heavy unease resting in their hearts.
"Well, let's hope they can sedate Poe enough for him to stay in the bacta tank until Y/N comes back." Finn's optimism was not lost on Rey and Rose, who both felt their hearts drop the slightest bit. The worst part about all of this was the last conversations they had with Y/N and Poe, both of them leaving upset because of the teasing. If they had known...
But they hadn't, and now they were left dealing with the guilt and the fact that there was a large chance that even if by some miracle they were able to find Y/N's X-Wing, she would be gone.
~
In the end, Poe had not been sedated enough to stay in the bacta tank for as long as his friends would have liked. Medics let him out after two hours, but he had been yelling and banging on the glass for half of that. He kept trying to swim to the top, which they luckily kept sealed closed, but the point at which he was taken out was when he took his breathing tube out and refused to put it back in. Once he was lifted out, four men had to hold him down while a nurse toweled him off.
"Stop! Let me go!" Poe screamed, kicking and bucking with all his might. "That's an order! An order!" He had to be sedated once more in order to be brought to his room and rest. His friends all sat in the room with him, none of them ablen to sleep as the hours passed. There was a speaker from Control resting on the table, and they all listened to the endless drones about when it was safe to take off and when it wasn't and who was coming in and who was leaving. Rose had fallen asleep against the side of the couch, but Rey and Finn stayed awake.
"I'm going to go out there myself soon." Rey said softly after awhile. There was still no sign of Y/N and she knew it was late enough that they probably wouldn't be sending any more pilots out to look. Finn didn't respond, just nodded, wishing he too knew how to fly so he could help.
"Anything?" Poe's voice started the others in the room, and they all whipped their heads toward him. He was sore, and he knew that he could have used longer in the bacta tank, but he also knew he would have gone insane if he were in there for any longer.
"Not yet." Rey said with a sad smile that she hoped made Poe feel a little more peaceful. She watched him sit up and look around before he tried to swing his legs over to the side of the bed. Rey and Finn were at his sides in a matter of seconds, keeping him down.
"I have to go-"
"Last time you tried to stand you face planted. Twice." Finn told him with a small smile. Poe just shook his head, still struggling weakly.
"She needs me, I have to find her." Poe argued, his voice sounding as if he hadn't used it in years.
"Poe, we understand how much she means to you." Rey told him, but he pushed them both away in annoyance.
"No, you don't!" Poe huffed as Finn and Rey stood back, both just staring at him. "You don't because I didn't even understand until I left. She means everything to me. Wherever she goes, I go." Poe told them. They were shocked into silence as Poe looked straight forward, taking a deep breath. Now that they were stunned, Poe could make his move.
"And that includes death." Before his friends had time to process what he had said, Poe was launching himself over the bed and running out the door. He realized with gratefulness that he had pants on, meaning his friends had requested he not be put in one of those stupid medic gowns. He also realized as people stared at him that he didn't have a shirt, but that would have to be dealt with at a later time. He ran through the halls, pushing people away as he made his way to hanger. People were shouting things at him as he passed them, but he didn't care at all. He had to make it to his X-Wing before Finn and Rey could make it to him.
"Poe!"
"Poe, wait!"
They were close, yelling his name as he entered the hanger. He grabbed a random flight helmet, hoping it would fit as he made his way to the droid charging station. BB-8 was sleeping, and even though Poe knew it would take awhile to get his droid into the plane, he also knew that without the droid he wouldn't make it far.
"Poe, stop!" Finn yelled, but Poe could tell he was still far enough away. He could make it.
"Incoming X-Wing! It's coming too fast!" Someone in control yelled, but Poe paid no attention. He was running to his X-Wing when the ship crash landed, the shock causing Poe to fall to the ground. As the dust settled and Poe stood to go to his X-Wing, he realized he also recognized this one.
"Y/N?" Poe whispered as he stared. He couldn't move for a second, but then all at once his brain kicked into gear and he was sprinting. He had made it halfway when the top popped open and Y/N leaned on things as she tried to stand. She ended up practically falling to the ground, but it wasn't too bad of a hit. She was able to be kind-of standing when Poe scooped her up into her arms and squeezed her tight. She knew immediately who it was, and held onto him as if he were the only thing keeping her alive. One of his arms was wrapped around her waist, keeping her as close as possible, while the other was on her head, holding it to his heart. The relief he felt at having her with him was like a drug - he couldn't feel pain, emotional and physical. He only felt her and happiness that she was there and alive.
"Poe," Y/N said as she pulled back slightly. Poe put a hand on her cheek, keeping his other arm around her. He could tell he was already crying, but he couldn't bring himself to care.
"I thought I lost you." Poe whispered, taking in the state of her physical health. She had too many bruised around her face and collarbones for his liking, her flight suit singed in some places. He knew she couldn't stand on her own, as he was half holding her up and she was also leaning heavily on him.
"I would never leave you, flyboy." Y/N muttered, swiping her thumbs across his skin in a soothing motion. "You and me, yeah?" She asked, and he smiled. He knew he couldn't wait, that this was it, that he had to tell her.
Or maybe he could show her.
He leaned forward and kissed her, careful with the cut he could feel on her bottom lip. The kiss was long and sweet, no rush. When they parted, Y/N looked at him confused, and he just shrugged.
"While I was trying to get back to base, I realized that I had never kissed you. Isn't that strange? We're best friends and we've never kissed." Poe joked, making her chuckle a bit and raise a hand to his cheek.
"I think we are probably more than best friends." Y/N told him. The two went in to kiss again, but it was interrupted by their friends.
"Ya think?" Finn said as he ran up to them. Y/N smiled while Poe pouted at their failed kiss, reluctantly letting Finn and Rey join their hug so that all their friends could be comforted.
"Please don't ever do that again." Rey muttered, making everyone chuckle slightly. "That was way too much for me to handle."
"If either of you ever go missing again, we're locking the other one in a prisoner cell." Finn's comment made everyone laugh as the all parted, Y/N still leaning against Poe. "You think I'm joking? Chasing both your asses around like that was tiring!"
"Speaking of tiring," Poe turned to Y/N, who's eyes were beginning to slip closed. He knew they needed to get to a medic soon, and that he also needed much more rest than he had been getting. "I think we better go get you taken care of."
"Kiss me again?" Y/N mumbled, and Poe rolled his eyes, complying all the same.
