Secrets and confessions (Hermione Granger x reader)

Warnings: swearing

Request/summary: The reader (gryffindor) has a crush on Hermione J. Granger but she thinks hermione likes Ron so she doesn't act on her feelings, and she's close friends with the trio. However, the reader gets detention when she gets in a fight with Draco and his goons and Umbridge uses the same punishment as Harry's but also does something else since the reader doesn't apologize? Hermione takes care of the reader and somehow they confess? Fluff and Angst mix?

You found yourself doing the same thing every morning you sit across from Hermione at breakfast and watch her study. You have fancied her since you met, you came out in third year and secretly hoped she would confess she fancies you too but it didn’t happen. The thing that annoys you the most is when her and Ron sit together, it makes you furious watching Ron flirt with Hermione subtly.

What makes things worse is that Hermione is totally into Ron. And in the end you know it’s going to be Ron and Hermione while you watch completely alone. You did try dating for a while and you still are trying but it’s not the same. You tried girls that look like her, girls who have a similar personality and girls who are completely different to her and nothing worked. You just got out of a relationship with Luna Lovegood, she was sweet and so amazing but she knew that you fancied Hermione and advised you to tell her.

You sit with Hermione near the back of the classroom near the Slytherin’s. You feel something hot thr back of your head and land next to Hermione. Hermione picks up the scrunched up parchment and reads it, her face drops. I grab the note and read it “Heard you broke up with Loony Lovegood, is the mudblood next? You could do a lot better -DM” you turn around and flip him off.

After class you walk away “I’m sorry you read that, Hermione. They shouldn’t be calling you that, they’re trying to hurt me, not you if it makes you feel any better.” “Y/l/n” You hear Malfoy yell and you turn around “Go away Malfoy.” “You know, people like us shouldn’t be hanging out with mudbloods and blood traitors” “We aren’t the same Malfoy, you’re a prat, my family accepts everyone unlike yours.” His friends laugh as you walk away. You always feel protective over Hermione even though she can defend herself, you come from a line of purebloods but your parents are okay with you being friends with anyone.

“Run away with your disgusting mudblood girlfriend, just know you are a blood traitor too.” You turn around and punch him in the face. His friends back away “Y/n!” Hermione grabs my hand “Umbridge is coming” “Detention Miss Y/l/n” Umbridge says “He was harassing us and calling Hermione the m word.” “That’s no reason for violence, my office right after dinner” you walk away and roll your eyes.

“You shouldn’t have done that.” “He shouldn’t have harassed us and called you something you’re not” “Well now you’ve gotten yourself in trouble” she snaps “Are you mad at me for defending you?” “Yes! I didn’t ask to be defended Y/n.” She storms off and your stomach sinks. You didn’t mean to make her upset, sometimes you care too much about her when you shouldn’t.

Hermione doesn’t talk to you at dinner and you feel awful. Right after dinner you say bye to Harry and Ron and go to detention. You sit down and write lines “I will behave” over and over. It burnt your skin and your tears fell on it burning even more. “Now are you ready to apologise” she says with a smile “No, I’m not apologising for standing up for myself and Hermione” “I’ll give you one last chance” “No.” “You brought this upon yourself.”

She opens a drawer and takes out a metal ruler. “Put your hand on the desk” you slowly do as she says. “How many lines did you write?” “I don’t know, maybe thirty.” “Fifteen will do” she slaps the ruler on your hand continuously, the metal cools your hand for a split second before it stings. By the end there is a red mark over the writing scarred into your hand.

She opens the door for you to walk out. You cry all the way to your dorm. Hermione sees you crying as you walk past the common room to get to your dorm. She gets up and follows you to your dorm. You sit on your bed and cry. “Y/n I’m sorry, you did something courageous and had to suffer, please let me help you.” You feel the bed dip where she sits beside you and puts her arms around you.

“It’s okay Hermione” you calm down, trying to stop the tears. “Y/n, may I see your hand? I could try to comfort you to make the pain go away.” You show her your hand and she gasps “What happened?” “Well I wrote the lines like Harry did then I didn’t apologise so she slapped it with a metal ruler.” “We have to tell someone, she’s abusing you” “Please Hermione, I would rather not” she does as you say.

She brings your hand up to her lips and places a light kiss over the scarring. Her touch calms you down, “Lets get you into something comfy.” She gets you some pyjamas and lets you put them on. She closes her eyes as you get dressed. You lay on your bed and she joins you, she brings your head to lay on her chest. You hear the sound of her heart beating and her chest moving up and down as she breathes.

She blows on your hand trying to soothe the pain “I could go and get some ice from the kitchens” she suggests “No, I want you to stay with me.” You felt so comfortable cuddled up to her, it was just unfortunate that it wasn’t in the way you’d hoped.

“Thank you for going through all this Y/n, I don’t think I know anyone else who would stand up for me like you did and then forgive me for being annoyed at that.” “Ron would” “No way, Ron and I are good friends but he would not punch Malfoy for calling me a mudblood.” “I think you’d be surprised what someone would do for love” “Ron isn’t in love with me” “Well he fancies you, a lot” Hermione chuckles “I don’t think so.”

“Hermione you’re the smartest person I know surely you know when someone is flirting with you” “I usually do but Ron’s just my friend.” “You’re doubting yourself so you don’t get rejected, I do it all the time” “Wait- do you think I fancy Ron?” “You do, I know you do.” “No I don’t! I’m not into him in that way” “You seem to laugh at his unfunny jokes, play with your hair smile a lot at him.”

Hermione starts to fidget, she plays with your fingers. “That’s not how I flirt, I’m very awkward when I flirt because I don’t like to fail at things” “Then why haven’t you had a boyfriend all these years. I’m not saying you have to I’m just saying a lot of guys fancy you” “It’s because I’m conflicted. One girl I have fancied for a very long time but she hasn’t said anything and it makes me scared to date someone just in case she changes her mind about me and I’m already with someone else.”

“She?” “Yeah I fancy this girl, it’s quite embarrassing. She’s been out for ages and I thought she fancied me but never said anything and I got really embarrassed.” “Hermione, who is it?” Hermione goes red playing with your fingers again. “When you started going on lots of dates and you dated Luna for a while that’s when I realised that in fact you don’t fancy me and I was dumb all this time.” “I didn’t know, you weren’t obvious about it” “I know, I’m sorry, now you know” you move your lips up to hers, you run your fingers through her hair and place the other on her cheek.

“Hermione I wish you would have told me sooner, I do fancy you, a lot.” Hermione kisses you again “Is this really happening? I can’t believe you fancy me” you smile “Yes it’s really happening” you laugh. “Y/n, will you help me come out to everyone?” “Yes of course” “But first, do you want to be my girlfriend?” You chuckle at her excitement “Yes, I would love that.”

Hermione seemed happier than you did, you were in shock, all these years she really did fancy you.

“YES, I CAN HEAR YOU”

Johnny “Coco” Cruz x Reader

Anon asked: could you write something angsty with angel or coco?

Warning: a little angst.

Word Count: 2.1k

Author comments: I hope you all enjoy. English isn’t my first language, I’m sorry if I have some mistakes with grammar. Gif isn't mine. Also, I didn't study anything about Medicine, but I like drama.

Tag list: @starrynite7114 @chibsytelford @dazzledamazon @mara-mpou 💥 (if you wanna be tagged, send me a message!)

You didn't see the car, but you felt how you flew off the motorbike, falling into the wet ground. Last thing you saw were two girls screaming and running to you, covered by pain. The agonic kind you feel before die.

━━━━━━ ﹅ ━━━━━━

“What happened?!” Coco shouts crying when he finds the doctor. He's being followed by the crew, and Letti being supported by Chucky. She can't even walk without falling down.

“Johnny Cruz?”

“Yes, what happened?!”

“A car crashed her motorbike. She has several bruses, three broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder and... we had to induce her into comma. The helmet saved her life”.

The world falls down to his feet. His legs trembled. Tranq forces him to have a seat, while the crying of Letti floods thr hallway. The faces of the guys talk for them. Coco is sobbing with his head between his arms, shaking it. No air in his lungs for a few seconds.

“Is gonna get better...?” Creeper asks with trembling voice, something they want and they don't want to know.

“We don't know”.

“What do ya' mean, uh?!” Coco jumps off his sit about to take him by the coat. Taza and Riz hold him apart, trying to calm the youngest.

“Next... hours... are crucial”. The doctor replies scared, walking back two steps.

“Can we... see her?” Letti talks, leaving away Chucky, with her eyes and cheeks covered in tears. The man nods pointing the room. She runs, her father too.

Their lives fall apart when they find you. You're laying in the bed with a tube in your mouth and a lot of cables around your body: connected to some fingers, another in your wrist, two in your nose. The girl has to cover her mouth before start crying loudly. Coco wrapped in his arms tightly, giving her a kiss on top of his head. Angel can't go to the room, he's not ready to see you and it hurts his chest too much.

You've been there for them the last five years, always helping the MC with whatever they asked you for. And Coco's daughter is your bestfriend since you met each other. It's painful can't do anything to help you when you most need them.

“Sometimes, they can listen”. The doctor says, holding your medical record between both hands. “I recommend you talk to her as normal as possible. I mean, talk about how were your day, what movie you saw on tv...”

“Stay with her, brother. I'm gonna do all the paperwork”. Bishop puts a hand on his shoulder, stretching it for a second. “The club will pay everything”.

“You don't ha...”

“She's one of us, Coco. Club decision”.

━━━━━━ ﹅ ━━━━━━

Yes, you could hear them.

Members of Stockton, Yuma and Samcro went to visit you. They talked you about how was going everything and telling you that, when you came home, a big party would be waiting you. The longest one with the four charters together. And you would like to smile, to say that will be amazing, but you can't.

Bishop, Tranq and Taza visited you every night. They laugh about something funny happened that day. Maybe Chucky left the crane on and destroyed a car. Maybe Angel got slapped by one of Vicky's girl. Or the recurrent story in wich they tell you that a cat went inside the clubhouse and broke a whole box full of beers, before lick it from the floor.

Riz, Creeper and Gilly went often. Every three or four hour you heard them saying “hi, pequeña, we're here again to bother you”. Sometimes they argued about what tv show is better, or talk about they wanted a new tattoo and you should choose it when you're awake.

The Reyes family always went together. Felipe was the optimist one. He used to tell you about his childhood and adolescence. Funny stories of an old man. EZ and Angel are like your brothers, so seeing you in that kind of conditions was painful. But they were there too, telling you everything was gonna be ok and how much they were missing you.

Letti and Coco made the hospital their home. Bishop ‘gave a present’ to have a bigger room with comfy sofas where they could sleep better. The younger was forced to continue with the high-school, being picked up by Chuky to go back to the hospital. Coco never left you, holding your hand, kissing you all the time. He also cleaned your face every morning and every night. Brushed your hair and put some of his cologne in your pillow to make you felt like you were at home. When he wasn't reading you ‘Hamlet’, 'cause EZ told him was your favourite book, making a lot of additionals comments like ‘shit, baby, everybody dies here’ or ‘what the hell is happening’; he mostly was in silence, blaming himself for what happened that night.

It was raining. A rare storm installed on Santo Padre and the surroundings. You were mad because you came home and he wasn't there, even when he promised you to make dinner and have some free time of the chaos. You had the accident on your way to the clubhouse. Two young girls were driving a car without license. They skipped a red light, tripling the allowed speed. You were there. And, like the doctor said, the helmet Coco gave you for your last birthday saved your life. One of those with full structure wich covered your head, face and neck. But your cross motorbike broke into pieces. But this was the less important.

Because of the shock and the pain, you had a kind of respiratory failure. Your lungs couldn't work. You also broke the left wrist and dislocated the right shoulder. Three splintered ribs, bruises around your body and a lash on the neck. The good news were that you only would need three months of rehabilitation and one for rest, after it. The comma was something preventive.

━━━━━━ ﹅ ━━━━━━

“Dammit, mami! You look good in this white pajama!” Coco gives you a kiss on the forehead, laying on the hospital bed, when the nurses have showered you. He puts an arm under your neck, carefully, holding you next to his body.

As the days goes by, you have less cables connected. You also don't need a mask to breathe better anymore and the analyzes show positive results. The crew, your family, are happy and feels better.

“You know, we talked about marriage and this... bullshit, and no following traditions, but white is definitely your color, baby”. He has a smile on his tired face, stroking your hair. “We've to marry, you hear me?”.

Tears running again down by his cheeks, pressing his lips against your temple with all the love he feels for you.

“You...” Your throat is dry and it hurts a little, but you're feeling like life is giving you a second chance. So you take it.

“(Y/N)?” Letti jumps off of the couch, Creeper and Gilly walks to the bed. Coco is looking at you with his eyes opened like never before. Everyone is having a heartattack.

“Fuc... Fucking crybaby”. With a lot of effort you smile being sleepy yet.

“Baby! Mami! Can 'hear me?”

You nod one time, drawing a painful gesture on your face. Everyone goes crazy. Creeper shouts calling the doctor, Letti hugs you and Gilly starts to call the crew by phone. You can feel Coco's hand narrowing yours, kissing your lips once and again desperately.

“Shit, mami, you scared me”. He laughs in tears, while you try to put an arm on Letti's back. “How 'feel? Need something?”

“Wa-Water, please...” You mutter clicking the tongue.

Letti, literally, runs to the table three meters away to take a small bottle. Carefully she offers you directly to your lips with soft sips. Oh, god, it feels like heaven when the liquid falls down by your throat till your stomach. The headache is gone, as the pain that involved your body the last two weeks. The plaster in your wrist is a little uncomfortable, taking a look of it raising the heavy hand in air. You look around confused and kinda anxious. It wasn't a dream. You're really there.

“What happened? Where's my bike?” You inquire, turning your face to Coco with your mouth almost open. By his gesture you know he hasn't any good to say. Licking your inner lip, you nod.

“Two crazy chicks ran you ove’, (Y/N)” He stucks both ankles on the mattress, taking your hand between his to gives you some kisses. He closes his eyes stroking one of his cheek with it. You can see the black shadows under his eyelids and the beard in the jaw.

Moving yourself all you can, you take his other cheek with the tiny fingers, inside the cast around your arm, and a wince, bowing to him. You press your lips against his, softly, in a warm way. You need to say ‘thank you for being my anchor’ without words, and Coco can feel it. You love him. You love him the most and nothing else matters. Hugging him, you start to cry. He couldn't felt the pain in every inch of your body, but you felt every day his. And it was horrible couldn't say you were ok, and you were hearing everything he said to you, hold his hand or move your head.

“This wasn't your fault”. You say, brushing his lips with yours. “Don't say that again. It was those girls, not you Coco. Even the storm has more fault on it”.

“Must have been home, baby... Making dinner, waitin' you”. He shakes his chin, closed eyes, noses lifting perfectly as a puzzle.

“Coco, stop”. You demand kissing him again, before be interrupted by the doctor.

“(Y/N), is good to see you awake. How you feel?”

“Like I learned to fly in the worst way”. Trying to laugh, coughs some times. Letti smiles laying next to you. She missed you too a lot and, by difference, she was who talked you the most. Even Gaby went to see you.

“Sense of humor is a good omen. Do you wan...”

“Oh, god, please don't. I heard it a thousand times”. You beg for a moment. “Wrist, ribs, shoulder, neck, blablabla... How many time do I have to stay here?”

“If everything goes as good as now, maybe in one or two weeks you'll be at home”.

“You hear' that, mami? You should have your meds and do whatever doc' says, to come home next week”. Coco sounds excited, smiling for the first time since one month ago. He kisses you again all over your face, holding you in his arms.

“Enjoying your holidays?” Angel's voice sounds agitated, stopping at the door till your eyes meet.

In two big steps he reaches the bed, while Coco gives you some space to be hugged for the man with a biggest smile in his face. The crew start to arrive too. Jokes, laughs and kisses flood the room. You can see some colorful flowers around, even two huge balloons are floating in a corner. That probably was Riz's idea. You're pretty sure.

━━━━━━ ﹅ ━━━━━━

“You good, mami?”

Lights off and one of your legs on his waist. Coco has you between his arms, tightly and warmly. You're finally home, in your bed, smelling again like your favourite human being. Happiness isn't enough to explain how you feel, hidding your face under his chin.

“I always am when I'm with you, papi”. You say in a whisper, tangling your fingers in his shirt to put him closer. “Will you read me tomorrow a little more of ‘Hamlet’? It was my favourite part of the day”.

“'Course I'll do, baby. I'll do anythin' ya' ask me for”.

Messy

Fred Weasley x Reader

Summary - Y/n catches Fred cheating on her with Angelina Johnson

Warnings- none

I saw a tiktok and got inspired to write this. It

When Y/n found out that Fred was planning to leave her for the pair's close friend Angelina she about lost it. Angelina had a crush on Fred. Y/n wasn't oblivious to this. But she thought Angie wouldn't act on her feelings since Y/n and Fred had been dating for a little under a year. However, whisperings about Angie and Fred slipping off to empty classrooms together filled all of Hogwart's gossip.

The breakup was messy, to say the least. Y/n's entire life was messy-she almost took pride in the diaster. She was no stranger to messy breakups either. Her muggle mother went through men like it was nothing.

"You're a fucking idiot Fred Weasley!" She screamed as she tossed the thick textbooks at the redhead. The entire common room was watching the exchange. Everyone had been waiting for this fight since people started to notice what Fred was doing. "You don't even have the decency to tell me you aren't feeling it anymore. Instead, you let me find out you've been shagging Angie- one of my closet friends- behind my back."

"Love-"

"Don't fucking call me love!" Y/n screams tossing another textbook at the boy.

"Just let me explain-"

"Explain what Weasley? That you fucked another girl? Wanna tell me how it went?" She asks him harshly, "I don't understand what explanation you think you have that will make this better."

"It was a mistake-"

"That you kept doing again and again and again?" She asks stepping towards him. Anger radiating off of her. "You're a fucking idiot. I'm glad she has you- someone else can deal with the fact you are shit in bed. I was getting tired of faking it all the time anyway."

The common room laughs at the comment. Y/n moves past Fred to her dorm. Fred remains at the center of the crowd bright red at the comment.

"Alright, that's enough," George says to the crowd, "the show's over folks get back to you studying or whatever the bloody hell you do." He turns back to Fred. Shaking his head lightly. "I told you this would end bad for you."

"I didn't mean to sleep with Angie-"

"Thr first time maybe," George says, "but the 6 other times? Those accidents as well?"

"George-"

"I'm just saying Fred that you can't keep playing the victim here," George starts, "you fucked up... So what are you going to do about it?"

Y/n wouldn't admit how much the situation was weighing on her. She truly loved Fred. The entire situation just sucked. She didn't want things to end with him. But she couldn't just be okay with him sleeping with another girl. The worst part was the other girl was there all night as she went through the hell of emotions.

"I heard Y/n was moping about Fred all night," Angie mocks as she talks to the other 7th year Gryffindors at breakfast the next morning. Y/n sat a couple of seats away from her stabbing into her plate. Katie and Leanne watch Y/n waiting for this to go bad. "It's pathetic. She should just accept that I'm prettier than her. Fred got an upgrade."

Y/n does the only logical thing in her mind. She grabs the pitcher of water and dumps it over Angie's head.

"Hey!"

"Get my name out of your mouth," Y/n says harshly.

"Or what?" Angie asks harshly.

"Oh, you wanna see what?" Y/n asks jumping to her feet, "I'll beat your ass right here."

"Oh really?" Angie asks moving to her feet. The girls stand across from each other. Anger radiating off of them. The eyes of the entire table and plenty of other students rest on them. "You think you can touch me?"

"Try me bitch!"

Fred watches the exchange carefully. Not knowing if he should step in or stay the hell away. He loves Y/n- but he's not naive. He knows she can pack a punch. Angie doesn't stand a chance.

"Of course you want to fight me- you're a sloppy bitch," Angelina mocks. Y/n doesn't give her a second to enjoy the comment. She jumps onto the girl at once. Taking Angelina to the ground. Suddenly the crowd is shouting in amusements. Fistfights are so rare at the magic school. And it was even rarer for it to be a catfight. It seemed the entire student body moved to gather around to see. A couple of professors were shoving to get involved. To break up the fight. So far they were unsuccessful. Y/n was beating Angelina without remorse.

"She must have been fun in bed," Lee says with a slight smirk as he looks over to Fred. Fred rolls his eyes lightly. "Must be nice having to broads fighting over you?"

"Fred you've got to stop them," Katie tells the guy, "You know Angelina is just gonna get her ass beat."

"Too late to prevent that," George chuckles lightly.

Finally, as McGonagall snatches up Y/n Angie gets her chance to swing. However, Snape grabs her before she has a chance.

"That is enough ladies!" McGonagall yells, "I will not have two of the students in my house fighting like animals in the great hall!" Y/n nods along. Clearly not caring about the scene she's made. "Now apologize."

Angelina and Y/n look between themselves. Wondering who would cave.

Y/n knows damn well she's not apologizing to the girl. She was the one running her mouth. Y/n only held her to her words.

"Don't worry Angelina- he'll get bored of you too," Y/n smirks lightly, "have fun while he still likes you- you don't have much longer. You don't know him like I do."

"Miss L/n! Come on," McGonagall says at once. Yanking the girls off to give them the same lecture she uses anytime two Gryffindors fight.

"This all your fault," Hermione says as Fred and the other students are forced to sit back down, "you just had to cheat on her."

"Yeah Fred she was one of the good ones!" Ginny chimes in, "seriously mum and dad liked her. She was nice to the rest of us. You used to gush about her all the time. You chased her for a year before she finally gave her a chance. What happened?"

"You wouldn't get it," Fred tells them.

"It's pretty simple really," George says, "he doesn't think that there are any consequences to his actions. He slept with Angelina because he could."

"You're a terrible person," Hermione says harshly, "you are such an asshole..."

"I'm aware," Fred says, "but I can't exactly fix this."

"You could try," Ron offers, "I mean maybe try to make it up to her?"

"Yeah no way she's gonna let this go over that easily," Katie says as she stands from the table, "good luck Fred. You're gonna need it."

Y/n and Angelina were stuck in detention together that night. McGonagall had extra lessons to teach so she stuck the girls to cleaning out the potion supply closet. With Snape checking in on them every so often.

Y/n was trying her best to ignore the other girl. However Angelina clearly didn't want to keep the silence.

"What do you mean he'll get bored of me?" Angie asks, "I'm not you- I'm better. I'm someone he can take home to mum."

Y/n rolls her eyes harshly. Looking over the bottles labels to try to keep her cool as the other girl keeps going.

"I'm better in bed too- he said that."

"Angie shut the hell up already," Y/n says goraning lightly. "You've already got the guy. Can't we leave it alone already?"

"You clearly aren't over him yet-"

"We broke up yesterday," Y/n points out, "and you are being a bitch. You know what I can't be here with you anymore." Y/n stomps out of the closet. Not really caring about whatever punishment that McGonagall will cook up for her later.

It was going fine until Angie decided to start the argument back up in the common room a little bit later. This time however Fred is by her side as she goes on about how Y/n never could be enough for Fred.

"And she thought he'd stay with her when she's nothing but a cheap whore?"

"We are not the same Angelina," Y/n says harshly, "Fred's fucking you- he loved me."

"Fred loves me-"

"You're on the top of the world huh? That world isn't fucking real Angelina," Y/n says chuckling in complete amusement, "Your world's an ideal. The second he gets bored with you he'll toss you aside for the next girl willing to sleep with him."

"That's not true!"

"He won't even say the word girlfriend will he?" Y/n mocks lightly, "figures. He only wants you around to fuck you...So go have fun with him..I really couldn't care less and you can give 'em my best." Her eyes shift over to Fred. "Good luck."

"Tell her you love me Fred!" Angelina starts. Fred doesn't look at her. Instead he keeps his eyes on Y/n. "Fred- tell her."

"I don't love you," Fred says as he finally looks over to Angelina, "I never loved you. I just slept with you. It didn't mean anything."

Y/n smirks lightly as she looks between Angelina and Fred. Angie's eyes welling with tears.

"You said you cared about me!"

"I lied," Fred says simply, "I did it because I was bored."

Angie slaps the boy before running off to her dorm.

Y/n folds her arms over her chest. Looking very amused with the situation.

"You're a fucking idiot Fred Weasley," She says chuckling lightly, "did you think that little show would impress me?"

"Well I-"

"You think that you're the man that you can fix ruining our relationship with crushing a girl who you lead on," Y/n vents, "you are forgetting that fact that you decided to sleep with her. You decided that. You could of walked away. But you didn't- We still aren't okay."

Tim's First Christmas as Robin

Tim walked through the hallways of his school with a smile because he officially had the best life ever.

Why? Because Tim Drake was Robin. He helped people. He saved lives. He worked with literal superheroes. It was hard work, exhausting in every way, it took up all his time, and he still had a lot to learn, but at the end of the day he made a difference in the world.

Batman had begun to warm up to him, too, trusting him more with patrolling certain areas alone and handling common thieves and muggers. Batman even complimented him yesterday!! After Tim solved a mystery about Penguin's disappearing shipments in Gotham Harbor, Bruce said, "Good job" and kinda gave a smile!! According to Dick, that's, like, practically the equivalent of a hug!

And since Dick is coming back to Wayne Manor for the holidays, Batman said Tim doesn't have to go patrolling on Christmas, so he can be with his family.

Tim's parents! That's the best part! His parents were finally coming home after being gone half the year. They were supposed to be home months ago... for the first day of the school year... Halloween... Thanksgiving... but they kept getting held up at their jobs. But this time they promised they'd be there on Christmas Eve! Tim went ahead and put up Christmas lights and a tree in preparation. He had it all planned out. He even got ingredients to make gingerbread cookies. Never before had Tim felt so... festive. A few times he caught himself humming along to the overplayed Christmas jingles on the radio.

So, now was the last day of school before winter break. His last class was Algebra and he took his usual seat by the windows. Everyone was goofing off, the teacher didn't even bother to try to actually teach anything by this point. The class comedian of his peers was talking to everyone,

"Nah, I'm just sayin' it's true! Whenever you're watching a movie and sex scene comes up then -BAM- your parents are right there outta nowhere."

Everyone is laughing, including Tim. God, that'd be embarrassing. Does this really happen that often to other people?

"Yeah, your mom be ignoring you all damn day and then she's suddenly all about your life when people start making out. Like how does she know? It's gotta be like the same magic Santa uses to sense who's naughty or who's nice."

"Shit, man. My dad could be gone for 8 years but as soon as that scene comes up he's right there behind me sayin, 'Hey, son. Watcha watchin'?'"

The jokes are silly and dumb and it makes time pass by quickly. Thr bell signaling the end of the day rings and Tim sets off for Wayne Manor.

Patrol goes well, too. It was all business as normal until the Dynamic Duo got back to the cave and who should be there but

"Dick!" Tim yelled, getting swept up in a classic Grayson hug. "Put me down!"

"Merry Christmas, Tiny Tim!"

"It's not Christmas yet."

"It's Christmas every day if you carry love in your heart." Dick grinned and plopped him on the floor. "I got you the coolest and totally-not-a-robin-motorcycle gift ever!"

"A what?" Tim squeaked. "Motorcycle?? But I don't have anything nearly as cool to give you-"

"Now, now, I specifically said it wasn't a motorcycle. But if it were, then I'd tell you it's fine and not to worry about it! It's Christmas!"

"Dick-"

"I'm gonna hug you again-"

"Don't you dare!"

"Pfft. Fine. But hey, I heard your parents are coming home?"

"YEAH!" And Tim didn't mean to shout but the words starting pouring, "They're gonna be home in time for Christmas and I put up the stockings I made, and I have a list of all of dad's favorite Christmas songs, and I'm gonna make gingerbread cookies cuz I found this awesome recipe online, and I got them the perfect gifts because you see last year my mom was complaining on how she didn't have any earrings that matched my dad's favorite tie that he wears all the time which I think was her way of telling him to get rid of the tie but instead I got him a new tie that's the same color and got matching earrings and-"

"Woah! But you'll still stop by the Manor to say hi, right?"

"Duh! I'm not about to miss out on Alfred's homemade Christmas cookies you guys brag about all the time."

"Good! How was patrol?" And they chatted away until Tim decided it was late and he should go home.

The days dragged on until finally finally it was the morning of December 24th. His parents would be home any second! He waited, looking out the window now and again, watching the clock tick by...

And he waited

And waited

They were late.

He called his mom twice, and she answered the second time.

"Yes? Tim, honey?"

"Mom? Um... are you guys almost here or...?"

"What? Oh no, I thought we told you. We aren't going to make it in time for Christmas. You see-" and she explained how an artifact they'd found was accused of being a fake and how much of a legal mess they were in... and... more excuses... "I'm sorry, honey. You know if we could we'd much rather spend Christmas with you. We sent your present in the mail."

"I... I know, Mom." Tim sighed, "I'm not mad. I understand."

"You're such a kind boy, Timothy. We love you so much. We never stop thinking of you."

"I love you, too." And she hung up.

Tim stared ahead blankly, the phone still in his hand. He wasn't sure how long he just stood there, but suddenly his phone rang again

"Hello?" Tim answered. His voice sounded distant to him, like he wasn't even the one talking.

"Tim!" It was Dick, "Hey, so I know we should probably know this but, um, are you allergic to any nuts or spices? Like, even just a small allergy to something?"

"No."

"Sweet! Thanks! Hey... are you alright?"

"Yeah."

"You seem... off."

"I'm fine. I'm just... distracted with my family. They... aren't as excited as I am to be home."

"Oh, that sucks. But they made it home, right? They're there with you now?"

"Yeah, no. They made it here okay." Tim didn't know why he was lying... Was he ashamed? And at who? His parents? Himself? "I should go."

"Well, alright. See you later!"

"Yeah." Tim sighed and threw the phone away from him in disgust.

His eyes stung, he quickly wiped away the beginnings of tears. This was stupid to cry about. Not worth it. Why cry? Just because his parents broke another promise? Because they say they love him but they keep leaving? Why don't they stay? Did he do something wrong? Is he that horrible that they don't want to be around him? Why isn't he good enough for them? Why don't they like him? What can he do better?

Tim started crying and immediately hated himself for it, but he couldn't stop. It all seemed so unfair. It hurt. And the hurt made him want to be comforted, and he wanted his mom here to comfort him. But she's not. She can't be. And somehow, Tim knew it was his fault.

He looked at the Christmas tree blurred through his tears and thought briefly about pushing it down. But that wouldn't fix anything, would it? No. It wouldn't bring his parents home. There was nothing to do about it.

He curled up on the couch facing the Christmas tree and let the tears fall until he could sleep.

The next day was Christmas. Yay.

Tim didn't feel like celebrating. Or moving in general. He managed to slink over to the living room and turn on the TV. Maybe he could watch something to distract him from Christmas.

Or every channel could be focused on the importance of family during Christmas time. Literally. Every. Channel. Christmas and love. Christmas and love. Fuck Christmas. It's was just a stupid commercialized waste of time! Why's he even doing this Christmas shit? He's pretty sure his mom is Jewish anyway! Ugh!

But then he clicked the channel and woah- that's more skin showing than he expected. Suddenly, he remembered:

"Whenever you're watching a movie and a sex scene comes up then -BAM- your parents are right there!"

What if...

He changed to one of the more "mature" channels debuting their Christmas specials. It was sappy romance stuff, which isn't the worst, but he was more of a scifi kind of guy.

It was a typical plotline. A lady is scheduled to marry a prince but she's in love with a commoner guy. Lazy writing. It's been done before. But maybe...

Is it too childish to hope for a miracle on Christmas?

He sat with rapt attention through the whole ordeal. At one point the lady runs away to meet her forbidden true love (even though it's totally going to get her caught and in trouble and might even get the lover killed). They start kissing and taking off their clothes, but Tim isn't paying much attention now because this is the moment! He listened for the doorbell, for a knock, for a car, for a voice... But no parents came running. No one was there at the door. Why did he even hope...

Tim glared angrily at the two naked people on screen, "Is it too much to wish for my family to be here on Christmas??"

Then a *ding dong* came from the front of the house. Tim paused the TV. Wait. Could it be?

One second he was in the living room, the next he was swinging the front door open without any hesitation,

"Mom?? Dad??" Tim called excitedly before realizing who was there, "Oh... Hey, Dick. Uh, come on in." He tried not to look disappointed.

"I thought you were going to visit the Manor?" Dick pouted, walking in. Only then did Tim notice Alfred was following him.

"I lost track of time." Tim said honestly, "I'm sorry." Oh God, what if Bruce was upset with him? What if Bruce hates him now?? What if he ends up leaving Tim for months at a time and lies about being home for Christmas??

"Where are your parents?" Dick asked, but it was more rhetorical than anything. He could no doubt see the puffy eyes of someone who spent the night crying. Tim answered anyway.

"Africa."

"Still, on Christmas?" Alfred raised both his eyebrows in disapproval.

"It's not their fault! It's... work stuff. They don't... they said they'd rather be here with me but... It's not a big deal."

"Well, as that may be, Master Timothy, I insist you join us today and tonight at Wayne Manor."

"Yeah!" Dick chirped. "Alfred made a ton of food, like, all of your favorites! Didn't you, Al?"

"Indeed, I did, sir."

"But, Bruce-"

"Is the one that asked us to come and make sure you're okay." Dick smiled, "He's waiting for us. Actually, I think he really missed you on patrol last night."

"Really?"

"If I may," Alfred whispered, "Master Bruce also specifically requested I hang up a stocking with your name on it."

No way. But... Alfred wouldn't lie about that would he... Bruce really... Wow

"...Right. I'll visit him as scheduled and then leave." By the glint in Dick's eye though, Tim had a feeling he'd be staying in the Manor longer than planned. And honestly? That sounded a lot better than staying in this house alone.

"Great! I'll get your coat." Dick walked around the corner to the living room. "It's this way, right? Oh. Huh. I remember this movie."

Oh.

"TURN IT OFF IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE-"

The end.

Alec Baldwin, Rose McGowan, Mandy Moore, Megyn Kelly, Tina Brown, Mike Huckabee and Bourdain's partner, Asia Argento, were just some of the public figures to remember the chef and urge others to get help.

Hollywood stars and other public figures were quick to take to social media to weigh in on the shocking death of famed chef Anthony Bourdain. He was 61.

Bourdain — who hadn't posted anything on social media for four days — was in Strasbourg, France working on an upcoming episode for his award-winning CNN original series Parts Unknown, which he's hosted for five years. The 11th season premiered last month. 

According to CNN, his close friend and chef Eric Ripert found Bourdain unresponsive in his hotel room Friday morning; the production crew were also there.

In addition to mourning Bourdain, a number of stars urged awareness about depression and warning signs and advised anyone who needs help that they could call the National Suicide Prevention hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

Bourdain's suicide is the second in less than a week by a high-profile public figure after fashion designer Kate Spade killed herself by hanging earlier in the week.

The news also comes as the CDC recently reported that U.S. suicide rates have increased in nearly every state, in some by as much as 58 percent, since 1999.

Bourdain's partner, actress Asia Argento, Alec Baldwin, Rose McGowan, Mandy Moore, Megyn Kelly, Tina Brown, Mike Huckabee, President Obama's White House photographer Pete Souza, 13 Reasons Why actor Christian Navarro and Film-to-watchonline director Lexi Alexander were just some of the public figures to remember Bourdain and urge others to get help.

Speaking to a pool of reporters, President Donald Trump said, "It's very sad. I want to extend to his family my heartfelt condolences. That was very shocking when I woke up this morning: Anthony Bourdain is dead. I enjoyed his show; he was quite a character. I just want to extend my condolences, and also to the family of Kate Spade."

Director Darren Aronofsky, who worked with Bourdain on Parts Unknown, shared his condolences in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Devastated. I don’t feel much else. Tony was a loyal friend and an inspiration. Always sensitive, always connected, always inquisitive, always fun. We had great times exploring Madagascar and Bhutan together," the Film-to-watchonline maker said. "I will never forget his spirit, his conviction, his professionalism, his passion, his love for his daughter, his love for Asia and her kids, his vision, his stories, his drive for justice, and his wicked sense of humor. Thank you Tony."

Top Chef regular and restauranteur David Burke also issued a statement to THR. "The irony is that everyone would have loved Anthony's job and was envious of it, but you never know what's going on in someone's head. He brought to light a lot of what goes on in the restaurant industry and how hard people work," he said. "I had the pleasure of judging Top Chef at David Burke Townhouse with Anthony and Tom Colicchio and we spent a couple of days together."

Burke continued: "We are all Jersey guys and good with the one-liners but he was particularly quick witted and on point. The contestants had to prepare dishes using snack food like popcorn and peanuts and I remember he tasted one dish and commented, 'I feel like I just licked the bottom of a movie theater floor.' He wasn't in the restaurant business so those weren't his stresses, but he obviously was a struggling human being."

Chef Wolfgang Puck told THR: "I am deeply saddened by the loss of one of the greatest contributors to the culinary world. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Rest in peace Anthony Bourdain."

In an email to employees, CNN president Jeff Zucker remembered Bourdain as an "exceptional talent," writing, "Tony will be greatly missed not only for his work but also for the passion with which he did it."

Anthony Bourdain's suicide a sobering reminder of how fragile life is and that we never know what's going on inside of another. Suicide is rarely a person acting, but rather being acted upon by the disease of clinical depression. We are all vulnerable. So very sad.

Rest n Peace Anthony Bourdain. My heart aches for his daughter n family left to pick up the pieces. I’m getting weary going through this ritual of morning and bewilderment. Depression is a roaring beast devouring so many good souls among us. So so sad...

Deeply saddened by the losses we’ve had this week. Kate Spade, now Anthony Bourdain, and who knows how many others in the world. Hopefully these tragedies open up the conversations of mental illness even more.

Stunned and saddened by the loss of Anthony Bourdain. He brought the world into our homes and inspired so many people to explore cultures and cities through their food. Remember that help is a phone call away US:1-800-273-TALK UK: 116 123

RIP doubtful. Tony’s restless spirit will roam the earth in search of justice, truth and a great bowl of noodles. @Bourdain

My heart breaks for Tony Bourdain. May he rest in peace now. He was a friend, a collaborator, and family. A huge personality, a giant talent, a unique voice, and deeply, deeply human. My heart goes out to his daughter and family, and his longtime partners and friends at ZPZ.

— Christiane Amanpour (@camanpour) June 8, 2018

Anthony was a major MeToo supporter. He strongly defended our rights; he spoke up publicly for us. He was that vital male partner. I am humbled and forever grateful that one of his last major projects was believing in and becoming EP of my recent CNN series on the lives of women.

Stunned. Why? Just... https://t.co/rO9rP791up

— Jeffrey Wright (@jfreewright) June 8, 2018

I knew Bourdain a bit. Late ‘90s, after Noise Funk on B’way, I used to hang at Sullivan’s where he was chef. Would run into him later from time to time - on a plane, at some joint somewhere. But I knew him better as a rally cry for living in the world! Paris? Sacre bleu. To life!

Anthony. One of my idols. Unapologetic, passionate and one of the best storytellers on the planet. Thank you for making food so exciting. And always standing up for everything right. Horrible. Why why why. Be at peace now :(

Anthony Bourdain lived in a way that most of us should. A seeker of the unknown & a man who exposed magnificent parts of the world to us through our TVs. I don’t even know what to say, this makes me so damn sad. I truly loved him & what he stood for.

Man I can’t believe Anthony Bourdain killed himself. It’s so sad cause he looked like guy who lived life. You never know what’s going on with people yo. Be kind to folks. Shit be kind to yourself. It’s easier said than done but ask for help!! Mental heath is real!! #pleasenomore

— Leslie Jones (@Lesdoggg) June 8, 2018

.@WillieGeist interviewed Anthony Bourdain in 2017, an interview that captured the many wonderful things about the chef – his honesty, his authenticity and his hatred of all things pumpkin spice. This is how we’ll remember him. pic.twitter.com/fBhzRSOSxz

#anthonybourdainisdead Oh the darkness. Oh the dark thick pain of loss. The selfishness. How many moments away were you from feeling the love that was universal. From every corner of the world you were loved. So selfish. You’ve given us cause to be so angry. See my Facebook...

Goodbye, Anthony Bourdain. The world is less interesting today. Thank you for all you gave us

This is who Anthony was. Asked to donate something for an auction for @HomesForOurTrps, he handed over his beloved — and pricey — watch. He’d give you the shirt off his back. https://t.co/BVvzTxPkPF

In the depths of depression, it is possible to believe that the people we love most would be better off without us. But this is not so. For families, the legacy of suicide is one of lasting pain. Because you are loved Help is waiting. Call suicide hotline: [phone]

When I traveled to some exotic place I’d not been before -the last were Beirut and Amman- I’d text Bourdain & ask where I should eat. He gave the best, most fun recommendations. I’d like to think he’s scouting out the best watering holes and places to eat in heaven, right now.

You know why I don’t eat airplane food? Cause Anthony Bourdain told me not to. When he talked. We listened. So sad his sorrow was too much to bear. We’re gonna miss seeing u travel the world & reminding us to try new things and embrace people we’ve never met. #RIPAnthonyBourdain

— Lena Waithe (@LenaWaithe) June 8, 2018

“In Bourdain’s recollection, his original pitch for the series was, roughly, ‘I travel around the world, eat a lot of shit, and basically do whatever the fuck I want.’” https://t.co/n10aM0TAVL

— Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) June 8, 2018

Tony Bourdain started out feeding people, and then moved on to showcasing the foreign in a way that forced us to face the similarity of all humanness. He leaves a beautiful legacy.

Just heard. Cannot process it yet. My condolences to Asia and his family. Such sorrow- the world has lost a good man. https://t.co/rBOxTblerJ

— Guillermo del Toro (@RealGDT) June 8, 2018

Anthony was devoted not only to @AsiaArgento but to the justice she and other Weinstein survivors were denied for so long. His righteous anger and his “small, random acts of kindness and sincerity” is what I will remember most about him. https://t.co/3XrQHJGklv

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) June 8, 2018

Anthony Bourdain was a genius, a warrior, a survivor & a fearless friend. He was also very humane. Some of us battle monsters. Humans let their guards down. Monsters monster. #RipAnthony This World Lost A Very Good Man.

Forever with me Tony. Looking at the spoon tattoo we share fills my heart with so much sadness today, but forever will be a reminder that you believed in me.I am forever indebted to this passionate great man. Truly heartbroken today. #RIPBourdain pic.twitter.com/aYZtP8hr8Q

I’m shocked and extremely saddened by the tragic loss of such an inspiring man. Tony was a great soul, a mentor, a friend, a father, and an incredible chef.

— Emeril Lagasse (@Emeril) June 8, 2018

Tony Bourdain was one of my heroes. He taught me to see the world with fearless curiosity, to eat, to write with voice, to inquire, to bad boy, to adventure...to live. I’m devastated. Thank you for what you gave us, Tony.

His swagger, his prose, his grit. Tony didn’t give a fuck the way most of us wish we could. That’s what made him special.

“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer.” This is how I’ll remember Tony. He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him. pic.twitter.com/orEXIaEMZM

1. My heart is broken. Anthony Bourdain was so good to me and a big reason I'm still doing what I'm doing. In January I fell into a deep depression for the first time in my life. Having never dealt with it in the past, I was unprepared. Tony helped me save myself 1 text at a time

  Tony took us to places we’ve never been and made us all want to pack our bags. He introduced us to people we’ve never met but made us feel like old friends. We all got to sit at his table wherever he went and eat and drink like kings. A courageous storyteller. Always pithy, passionate, flawed yet perfect. You were an idol to so many of us. You will never be forgotten. May your darkness fade to light. Peace be with you sir.

The kitchen lights are dim today. Tony was a force at the pass & beyond. He was cool & irreverent. His life & work are a testament to the power of cooking to make the world a kinder, more connected place. My thoughts are with his daughter, family & the countless lives he touched. pic.twitter.com/QdR2DKf7mr

I used to watchonline @Bourdain while I was recovering from my own depression and thoughts of suicide. He inspired me to get out in the world and connect. To have adventures. He made me want to live. #RIP

— #EvanRachelWould (@evanrachelwood) June 8, 2018

We have lost one of best the US has to offer. Anthony was all the independence and curiosity of the fevered American dream coupled with an honest and considerate love of people and otherness. To travel humbly and fight to show this humanity, was the character of a true diplomat.

— Cole M. Sprouse (@colesprouse) June 8, 2018

Anthony Bourdain was an example of what loved ones should be to survivors of abuse. He embraced and supported his partner Asia, encouraged her to speak and spent his last days defending her and other survivors. If you’re in crisis: 800.273.8255. To give: https://t.co/8z6L68EOGF.
