Happy Birthday, Papa!
Tumblr media
Warning: Tooth rotting fluff.
Summary: It's Miguel’s birthday.
A/N: OMG IS HIS BIRTHDAY 🎉🎉🎉😭🎁
You knew that when Miguel was with his arms sprawled on the bed and his back faced you, he was deep asleep.
Sliding off the bed carefully, you went to Gabi's room and Benjamin's. Both with a It's Papa's birthday, you ready?
Benjamin was a little reluctant to wake up, but eventually he did. Sliding off his bed he went to the kitchen with you.
"Let's not make much noise ok? Let Papa sleep for a bit longer."
Benjamin smiled sleepily as he got to fetch his gift. Gabi on the other hand helped you with breakfast while Rosie was still asleep in her crib.
You made Miguel's favorite meal. Green  Chilaquiles for breakfast. One of the first things he cooked for you when you began dating. Gabi then started to wrap her present as you finished breakfast and brewed a special blend of coffee he adored.
Luckly, you had done a little cake, Gabi and Benjamin had decorated it. Gabi did the letters and Benji the little swirls of meringue.
In the motions, a few hours had gone by. He had had a rough week at work. Stress got him tired and even less talkative than usual. He was almost silent.
Five minutes before his alarm would go off, Benjamin, Gabriella and a now awake Rosie would enter your room when he was still asleep. You motioned for your children to come in as you put Baby Rosie on the bed, you then went to fetch his breakfast. His alarm went off.
Miguel rubbed his eyes and yawned, a bit surprised to see Rosie next to him instead of you.
"Happy Birthday to you~"
You started singing from the doorframe as you entered with a tray on hands, Gabi and Benji joined you with giggles.
"Happy birthday, dear Papa"
You put the tray on his nightstand to then kiss him. Benjamin scrunching his nose with a little 'ew'
"Happy birthday to you."
Rosie cooed at him as his children clapped and cheered him.
"I love you." You smirked and took Rosie off the bed, "All on Papa! Go go go!" The room was filled in with laughter and squeals as Gabi and Benji tried to tackle him down. A grin on his face.
There was a deep and sheepish yet genuine laugh coming from him. Sometimes he often felt like dreaming. Like he had been doused and high in dopamine. The family he sometimes fantasized wasn't a mere idea anymore.
It was very much real and his little children gave him so much joy, but they wouldn't exist without you. What he did to deserve you, he didn't know. But he knew that asking your forgiveness and rekindle things all those years ago had beyond worth it. Every day of his life spent with you and his children were the best gift someone could ever give him.
It filled his chest with something so overwhelmingly warm and peaceful. Like he always wanted.
"Look Papa! Got you something" Benjamin sat before him and handed a  small bundle he had wrapped himself.
"Gracias campeón. Let's see..." (Thanks, champ)
He unwrapped the little bundle carefully, revealing a little card you had helped Benjamin to write along a bag of a expensive coffee blend you had eyed him considering, but chose to buy the snacks for Gabi and Benji.
I love you, Papa :)
A little smiley face he had started drawing in every surface.
"You picked this too, champ?" Benji beamed at him and hugged him. Miguel kissed his head, "Gracias, gracias, gracias, Pequeñín. Me encanta. " (Thank you little one. I love it)
"Happy Birthday Papa" Gabi squeezed him and gave him a red paper bag decored with some of his favorite stuffs. Coffee mugs, lab tools, a little Lego figurine and spiders.
"Gracias Solecito" Gabi watched expectantly as he opened the gift. A pair of bunny slippers his size, and a customized little watch with a spider logo she often saw in his things.
"Got some of my allowance to get it customized for you." He kissed the top of her head and smiled sheepishly. He was overwhelmed, in the good sense of the word.
"Gracias, princesa. Imma wear it for work."
"This one is from Rosie" You pulled a little blue paperbag with a little card with her footprint on it next to a heart. He chuckled at the detail and opened the bag. A new pair of special sunglasses. His old ones fell when they got to another pool day.
They'd help with his photophobia. His arms reached for Rosie and kissed her forehead.
"Thank you, mi Rosita Fresita. I love it." He kissed repeatedly at her cheeks, earning him a bubbly giggle.
"And finally, my gift."
Miguel chuckled with a tiny smirk.
"That's for later, mi amor. But here."
You gave him a little black envelop and sat next to him.
"Remember when you told me about this astrophysics and research conference you wanted to go but you were kept in the waiting line?"
His eyes widened as his hands carefully pried the envelop open. An invitation with his name was written in golden serif caps.
"Mi amor... This.... You shouldn't have"
"Well, too bad cause you're going."
You kissed him with a reassuring smile.
"I've got this. Imma be fine."
"You must go, Pa" Gabi urged him. He couldn't say no to that. Or any of the love he was getting.
"Alright, alright. I will."
"Now, make a wish, cariño."
The little cake was the last straw. He blew the candles.
"Mordida! Mordida!" (Bite! Bite!)
Gabriella chanted and as Miguel bit, he got smeared in cake frosting. But this time he got his little revenge. He painted Gabi a bit of whiskers in her cheeks, a dollop on Benji's nose. He pressed a little tiny drop on Rosie's cheek and then pulled you to kiss him.
"Ew" Gabi and Benji spoke almost at unison as you were also smeared in cake frost and crumbles. The kiss even sweeter than before.
"Happy birthday cariño."
-----
You put Rosie in her crib for her nap and as soon as you got in your room, strong arms hugged you, cradling you closer. His frame nearly engulfing you.
"¿Estás bien?" (Are you ok?)
He said nothing but hugged you tighter. Your hands rubbed on his back soothingly. A deep breath warmed your shoulder.
"Thank you." When he broke the embrace you cupped his cheeks and he kissed one of your palms. Red eyes seized you in soft look only you were worthy to get. A look of unbridled love.
"Thanks for always making it better."
You beamed and you hugged his waist at his words.
"We're just giving back all the love you give us, corazón."
"I promise to make it-"
"Miguel. Mi amor. It's your day. Your day, big guy." You smooched and giggled, "Enjoy it."
He crushed you in his arms and you giggled in between squeals.
"Can I have my late present now?"
"Nu uh. We gotta get ready."
His brow raised in suspicion as you smirked
"Whatever for?"
"Another surprise. After that and when the kids are asleep? I'm all yours."
You kissed him once more before going to the door. His words stopped you.
"Mi reina?"
"Hm?"
He blew a kiss to you, earning a giggle.
"Te amo"
"También te amo, Papasito."
You blew the kiss back and went back to get Benjamin ready.
It was his birthday, and best one so far.

hi! i found your blog yesterday and i’m obsessed! i was wondering if you could do one where in Y/N’s culture give someone a hand-crafted object (like a wood carving), it’s a way of confessing without actually saying that they like that person, but only Gandolf and Aragorn know since they have traveled all around Middle Earth! Thanks so much for your time!
Thank you, I’m glad you like this blog! I hope you’ll enjoy your post!
・゚✧ Aragorn.
Tumblr media
Indeed, Aragorn knows exactly what you mean when you gift him the wooden amulet you crafted over the past few days. He smiles fondly, aware of what this means for you. He’d take it the exact same way as he would a verbal love confession, takes your hands in his and gives you a kiss ♡ He'd also ask you about the exact cultural implications of the symbols you used etc.!
・゚✧ Arwen.
Tumblr media
Arwen has been kind to you ever since you started your work as a blacksmith in Rivendell. She is very impressed with your work and you soon start to fall for her. When her favourite bracelet breaks one day, you see your chance to use your newly-learned skills of Elven craftmanship to make her a new one. Though part of you wished she understood your gift’s meaning, Arwen’s unknowing reaction makes you just as happy: she’s beaming with joy and giving you a tight hug!
・゚✧ Boromir.
Tumblr media
Boromir spends days wracking his brains about the hand-crafted sheath you made for him. Every time he turns it in his hands, he can feel the energy and affection you poured into his gift. Still, its true meaning stays a mystery to him… until one day, he’d not-so-casually ask you, “It doesn’t carry a deeper meaning, does it?”
・゚✧ Elrond.
Tumblr media
The day Elrond finds the artful bookmark you crafted for him on his table, wrapped in a gorgeous leaf, he starts researching your culture. He faintly remembers hearing of love customs from your home region but thinks this couldn’t be possibly true! After a whole day of reading, he’d ask you for a conversation and talks about it to you, always respecting your culture’s habit of not outright stating your feelings. He’d be very understanding.
・゚✧ Éomer.
Tumblr media
Éomer is convinced that the little horse figurine you carved out of the most gorgeous walnut wood is a present you gave him out of fascination and respect for Rohirrim culture. While he is happy about the kind gesture, he is entirely oblivious to its meaning. So one day, when you absolutely couldn’t take it anymore, you’d had to take him aside and break your culture’s customs – because otherwise, this man wouldn’t get it!
・゚✧ Éowyn.
Tumblr media
While Éowyn may be unaware of your culture’s custom, she does recognise how much gifting her handcrafted objects means to you. So, she soon starts making something for you in return – albeit clumsily – but still you can’t help but swoon! You start to develop a playful gift exchange that Éowyn partakes in so lovingly that in the end, it doesn’t really matter that she didn’t know of your specific custom. Since you get together anyway, you can just tell her afterwards!
・゚✧ Faramir.
Tumblr media
Whatever you craft for Faramir, be it a bookmark, a tool, or a piece of jewellery – he’d treasure it religiously. Maybe he’d even build a shrine around it, hidden away in his quarters, where he’d sit down and think of you. Imagine his shock when he learns (possibly through Gandalf) of your gift’s true meaning – the poor man would blush like a sunrise, unable to speak to you for the next few days. He is ashamed of his perceived ignorance toward you and overwhelms you with the most romantic love confession in return!
・゚✧ Frodo.
Tumblr media
Frodo would be very casual about the notebook you crafted for him. He uses it as his journal, for flower pressing, and recipes. Everybody keeps asking about the gorgeous binding and covers, and he always redirects everyone to you with great pride. He is glad that your crafting skills finally find recognition in the Shire. However, since you only craft for those you love, you always have to send the other Hobbits away, until one day you admit to Frodo the truth behind your gift, which he takes with great joy.
・゚✧ Galadriel.
Tumblr media
Galadriel is convinced that the ring you made for her carries a deeper meaning, she just can’t quite put her finger on it, with you being so mysterious. It intrigues her, since usually everyone is an open book to her. When she asks you anew about your gift, you can’t help but give in to her warm telepathic voice, and confess your feelings to her. She’d light up with joy – “What a wonderful gift! The most precious anyone has to give!”
・゚✧ Gandalf.
Tumblr media
For Gandalf, you’d craft a new staff or wand. You don’t expect much when you gift it to him, so his sudden attention comes as a surprise to you: “You said you’ve made this yourself? It is an artful present…” His soft, loving glance would instantly tell you he understood. You share a blissful laugh, before he would deny any knowledge about your culture.
・゚✧ Gimli.
Tumblr media
You’d gift Gimli a precious stone or gem you found in the mines, having perfected it into a shape that’s perfect for his collection. When you gift it to him, his reaction puzzles you though: “No gem in this world is more precious than your presence in my life…” He wanted to confess to you too – what impeccable timing!
・゚✧ Haldir.
Tumblr media
Haldir is the worst person to make gifts for – while he trains his face not to show it, his confusion is still very much readable to you, now that you know him. The archery gloves you made for him are stored away deep in his travel bag, never to be seen again. It’s not until Aragorn secretly informs him of your region’s customs that Haldir finally understands your gesture – which leaves him even more irritated...! He is considerate enough to say “thank you” at least, with a timid kiss ♡
・゚✧ Legolas.
Tumblr media
Legolas would be thrilled that you made him an arrow, not meant for battle but prestigious decoration. The affection and care you poured into your hand-crafted gift do not escape his sharp attention, whenever he touches the glistening arrow and turns it in his hands. Intrigued by these feelings, he starts ‘investigating’ – meaning he teases you about a possible crush. He’d only stop when he sees how important this topic is too you, which is when he finally understands.
・゚✧ Merry.
Tumblr media
For Merry, you’d craft a new pipe. He is excited about your gift but oblivious to the deeper meaning behind it. That said, his sharp attention does catch your slight blush when you give it to him. It makes him think – and after days and days of pondering, he starts a courting offensive on his own, until the day you finally get together!
・゚✧ Pippin.
Tumblr media
The wood carving you’d gift Pippin is originally meant for decoration, but he carries it around his neck as an amulet. He proudly tells everyone who made it – and knowing how close the two of you are, it doesn’t take a genius to understand your gift’s true meaning. The situation would eventually solve by Pippin telling you, completely confused: “I thought we already were an item?! Of course I love you too!”
・゚✧ Sam.
Tumblr media
Out of all the Middle-Earth characters, Sam probably appreciates handcrafting and artisanship the most, being a craftsman himself. His reaction to your wood carving of a sunflower is appropriately flustered: “This must’ve taken quite some time to make, I’d say. Turned out so beautiful, too. Not that I expected anythin’ else from you! You are very skilled in many areas, after all…” His beautiful little speech charms you so much that you end up confessing your love unconventionally! Be it verbally or with a surprise kiss ♡

I feel like Zhongli would be both happy and embarrassed if his s/o, who's an artist, just started making at selling merch of him to everyone in Liyue. Statues, paintings, wood carvings, figurines, plushies, etc.
Then one day, she starts getting commissioned to do merch of others and suddenly he's not so embarrassed anymore. Instead, he's getting pouty that she's making artwork and plushies of someone other than him.
Imagine him glaring at a Venti plushie
Gosh yes!!
Tumblr media
Zhongli finds himself sitting rather puzzled among a pile of statuettes, plushies, and all sorts of paraphernalia that are, for the first time in a while, not reflections of himself - but instead of Venti the bard.
"Darling," he calls out helplessly, "what of the merchandise in my image?" Just when his blushing was starting to be not of embarrassment, but something else...
You poke your head through the doorway and tilt your head nonchalantly. "No longer in demand!"
He sighs and picks up the Venti plushie, mumbling under his breath. He wants to find something to hate on, but this little guy was just so expertly made - he can see why anyone would want one, especially since they were so meticulously crafted by your hands. He guarantees they'll be sold out within seconds.
He just didn’t think he would still find ways to be annoyed by that bard in this day and age. And what a trivial thing to be miffed about!
Zhongli clicks his tongue in disapproval, although unsure whether that feeling is directed to Venti or to his own emotions. So he chooses to wind up a music box (again, one of Venti's tunes that you'd put in it) and lie there in his misery while that bard taunts him.
The situation, unserious as it is, makes you giggle and climb on top of him. Your husband, staring listlessly at the ceiling, barely acknowledges you.
"My silly man," you quip, planting a nice big kiss on his lips. This causes his demeanor to soften, and his irises swivel to you almost mechanically. His arms wrap around you, but his lip is still curled in disapproval.
He murmurs, "You are talented, my love. Far too talented."
"Thank you!" You trace your finger along his cheek. "Tell you what, I'll make a huuuuge statue of you, bigger than the Barbatos one in Mondstadt."
A small smile cracks Zhongli's defeated expression. "Really now?"
"And it'll have flower garlands made of a million silk flowers! I'll even ask Xianyun for help with a device that plays tunes in praise of you all day and all night!"
Finally, the silly man chuckles and kisses your forehead. "Just your love is enough, my dear."
Beaming, you rest your head on his chest in content.
"Ah, one more thing."
"Yes?" You look back up at him.
He clears his throat, averting his gaze as his cheeks gain a pink tint. "Would you perhaps be willing to take a private commission from me for some more of those trinkets?"

DANCE OF FLOWERS!
repost of one of my older fics that i had saved somewhere. I was and still am really proud of this fic, i still like it a lot.
Tumblr media
Upon hearing about you, The Tsaritsa found herself eager to find out more. To see you with her own eyes. That’s why she finds herself in Monstad for once. She doesn’t want to be here, of course, but you’re more important than any of those she holds in contempt.
Laughter sounded from a crowded area just up ahead, and she went towards it. She listened to the tune playing as successfully weaved herself to the front of the crowd.
The laughter and music grew louder and she couldn’t help but watched in awe as you twirled yourself and the child you held onto, smile wide on your face. Your face flush red from happiness. This look was what she liked best on you. Happiness suited you better than the benevolent neutrality that people made you famous for.
Flowers were weaved into your hair, resembling the ones that bloomed all throughout teyvat. Flowers seemed to blood in her stomach as well as she stared at you, completely mesmerized.
You locked eyes with her and smiled at her, head tilting to the side before letting go of Klee’s hands and heading towards her. “Dance with me.” You spoke out, smiling happily at her without a single trace of fear as you grabbed her hands. They were cold, like ice, but you didn’t mind.
“Ah.” She spoke out finally, looking down at you and let you drag her out. She easily followed your footsteps and twirled you around without having to be told.
Venti watched closely while still playing the tune with ease. He was a bard after all. He knew why she was there and he didn’t want her hurting their precious creator, so he made sure to keep an eye on them.
“You dance really well, my lady.” You beamed at her as you held onto her hands, cheeks flushed as you still danced to the song that was nearing it’s end. “It was my honor to dance with you.” You smiled as you looked up and all kind of petals rained down upon the surrounding people.
You stepped back, letting go of her hands and reconnecting with Klee before turning around and heading off with Klee and Venti in tow.
She searched for you for weeks afterwards but never found you, so she went back to Schneznaya with hope that you may get her gifts and letters.
Every single gift and letter she sent was intercepted by one of the acolytes, except for a music box.
A beautifully crafted music box with the same tune that the two of you had danced to, and on top where the figurine usually was, sat you. Beautiful, kind, happy you with petals drifting around. It was a beautiful gift. One you fawned over to everyone that would listen.
“Your Grace....” Zhongli glanced at your pouting lips before his eyes drifted over to your puffed out cheeks and up to your furrowed eyebrows. “Please understand, it’s dangerous. We only wish to keep you safe.”
“Why would she hurt me? She’s been sending me gifts and letters! Which you always discarded Zhongli!” You crossed your arms, upset at the actions they took.
Zhongli’s face softened as he came closer to you and grasped at your hand so that he might press a kiss to it. “I’m sorry. I just want to protect you. I’m your loyal acolyte. I wish only good things to come your way. I should have consulted you first, my creator.”
Your face softened and a sigh came from your lips as you gazed at him. “I can never stay mad at you.... But!” You added on as his face brightened. “I want to meet with her! She sent an invitation to have tea with her in her palace! I’ll take Aether and Lumine! I’ll be safe so please Zhongli!!!” You pleaded with him, grasping at his hand, desperate for his approval.
You knew they only did these things to protect you, to protect your happiness so you always let it slide but you wanted to see her again so badly! You couldn’t stop playing the music box and listening to it with longing.
Venti sighed from the doorway before making his way into the room. “C’mon Zhongli! It’s the Honorary Knight and Lumine is just as capable! They’ll be perfectly safe. Let them have a little fun.”
“Alright.” He sighed as he agreed, making you jump for joy and hug him tight, repeatedly thanking him.
You were so happy! You had been waiting so long to see her again. Ever since that dance, you hadn’t been able to get her off of your mind. And now, you were going to have tea with her in Schneznaya. Lumine and Aether would be there too but you knew they wouldn’t cause any trouble, they were good people.
Oh, you couldn’t wait!
And that led you to where you were right now! In front of the Zapolyarny Palace with the twins at your sides and a bouquet of red carnations in your hands.
“You have to be on your best behavior, okay? No matter how much someone aggravates you. The Tsaritsa has been very kind to allow us to visit, so we must be kind in return.” You lectured them, sternly.
Lumine nodded her head and nudged Aether to the same. “We’ll make sure to be civil no matter who it is, right Aether?”
“Yeah. Don’t worry so much your grace. We’ll be role models!” Aether pumped his fist in the air with Paimon at his side watching in suspicious silence.
“Paimon too, right?” You smiled at the floating girl and she pouted before nodded reluctantly.
“Paimon will be nice.”
A snort cut through the silence as Scaramouche appeared in front of them. “Surprised to see you three, survival must be easy for you huh?” He smiled mockingly at them before it turned sincere once he turned to you and bowed. “Your Divine Grace, The Tsaritsa sent me to guide you to the tea room.”
“Thank you.” You smiled at him and ushered your three companions to follow as you knew they disliked Scaramouche and you knew why but you aimed to have a peaceful tea time with The Tsaritsa!
“You’ve come.” Once she saw you, the Tsaritsa smiled at you, the corners of her eyes crinkling up with it. “I thought you wouldn’t, you never responded to any of my letters....”
You rubbed the back of your neck with a hand. “Ah, yes. The letters and gifts except the music box and the letter than came with it were all not given to me.” You spoke and upon seeing the Tsaritsa’s rising anger, hurried to soothe her. “They’re just trying to protect me. Will you forgive them this once?” You pleaded with her.
“If it’s what you wish...” She conceded, not wanting to go against your will.
“I... um.... I didn’t know what kind of flowers you like so I made red carnations for you.” You handed the bouquet over to her and she smiled down at it.
“You are much too kind, come. Let’s have tea together. Scaramouche, lead the twins and their companion towards the other table.” She commanded and you smiled at the three companions.
Lumine frowned but bit her tongue. You wanted them to be on their best behavior. Even if it means being nice to....ugh..... Scaramouche, she’ll do it. For you.
Aether was working hard to hold himself back, reminding himself that this was what you wanted.
“Sorry Travellers, heard you were coming and made sure you wouldn’t have too many options. Must hurt your head to think all the time, huh?” Scaramouche remarked as he smirked and walked forward.
Aether wondered if it was too late to stop being nice to that prick.
Meanwhile, with you and the Tsaritsa, you both were chatting happily with each other.
“Thank you for the music box. It was lovely.” Hands clutched at the teacup in your hands as you smiled down at the contents in the cup.
“I’m glad you liked it, you left an impression on me. I wanted to see you again.” She spoke out as she reached out her hand and brushed her thumb along your cheekbone. “I’m happy you came to see me.”
Red filled your cheeks and you nodded fervently. “M-Me too! I wanted to see you too......”
You bit into one of the tea cakes, a pink one. “Mmm!” You made a sound of approval as you swallowed it. “So good!” You spoke before taking a sip of your tea. "I’ve never had a tea cake that tasted so good before.”
The Tsaritsa watched you with a fond look on her face as she pulled back her hand and grabbed the white chocolate tea cake grabbed a piece of it with her fork. “Let me food you.” She insisted and you nodded eagerly, opening your mouth.
She fed it to you and you made another sound of approval. “This one is good too!” You looked so happy and she couldn’t help herself but to learn forward and press a kiss to your lips.
A crash sounded somewhere behind you and you turned bright red as you hid your face. “My lady! W-W-W-” You couldn’t form a response to what had just happened.
My first kiss!
You could have sworn you heard Scaramouche cackling behind you as Lumine whispered at Aether to calm down.

giggling at this idea i just thought of but would u consider... hear me out... mk1 johnny finding out that reader has a body pillow of him? like those anime ones but bcs he's a celebrity, someone made one of him too 💀 & reader secretly bought it and tried to hide it/deny it but johnny sees all fr fr
i wrote this and then it got DELETED i almost cried
johnny cage > superfan
johnny never visited your place, but now he sees why.
notes: the way i used to unironically have a bodypillow of a character i'd rather die than admit... this hits so close to home
[ masterlist ]
Tumblr media
you and johnny were an unlikely pair in the grand scheme of things. you were a toned down worker in your own field while his face was plastered on every billboard, magazine, and teenage girl's home screens. at the end of the day, though, you were both humans in love and that's all that genuinely mattered.
johnny's arm that was slung around you as you two cuddled on his couch shakes you back to reality.
"you know what's funny?" he suddenly brings up, closing the tiktoks you were watching together. "we always come to my place. never yours. i've only ever seen the inside when i pick you up."
there wasn't a hint of annoyance or accusatory language in his voice; he was curious. as he typically is.
"i don't know," you shrug nonchalantly, hoping to get the topic over with. "your place is nicer." this was entirely true. despite downsizing after his divorce and other events he has yet to disclose to you, he still had a truly nice home. it radiated the energy of a celebrity without needing the size, but was just homey enough for you to spend your nights there when you felt like it.
"so?" his eyebrow quirks up.
"so, it's better to hang out here. my apartment isn't all that exciting, not a lot of room to do much."
"but it's the person that excites me," he replies quickly, kissing your forehead. "plus, all we usually do is sit on my couch here. what's the difference of doing it there?"
as your mouth opens and closes to try and dismiss the subject, johnny turns to face you completely with a beaming grin.
"can i come over tomorrow?" he asks, like it's your first date with him. his eyes are bright, like a kid asking for permission from his mother. you couldn't even bring yourself to look him in the eyes as you swallow hard. there wasn't necessarily a true reason to not have him over, but preparing for his arrival would take a considerable amount of effort to... redecorate. finally, you nod with a sheepish smile, and johnny plants a slap-like kiss to your lips as a thank you.
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
the following morning, you were throwing your piles and piles of collectibles into boxes and shoving them into your closet. the replica of his brass knuckles or figurines of ninja mime had to go before he arrived. johnny couldn't know that on top of being his girlfriend, you were a fan. and not just any fan, a superfan. every piece of evidence had to be thrown into a corner lest you face his endless prodding and teasing. besides, even if he was a celebrity, he probably didn't expect his partner to have such belongings. it felt... wrong. but even still, you couldn't help but support him in his works!
a knock at the door makes you visibly jump as you're kicking the last of the merch under your couch. wiping your hands, you race to the front door and take a deep breath, making sure you plugged in your wall scents and lit your candles. you swing it open and johnny peeks his head in, glancing around with his typical grin. he puts his sunglasses atop his head to adjust to the indoor lighting, a curious glint in his eye.
"i don't know what you were talking about," johnny finally says, hands on his hips. "it's nice here. quaint."
"i think that's just calling me poor politely," you reply as you fight a smirk. johnny tenses up, already apologetic before you reach up to kiss his check. "i'm teasing, dear. now what?"
"a movie?"
"not one of yours."
"we didn't even finish citizen cage last time!"
you roll your eyes at his puppy-like stare. you immediately cave in with a huff. as his own version of a thank you, johnny swoops over and picks you up, sure to support your ass more than your thighs as they wrap around his waist. he shoots you a devious grin, as if to say "i can't help it!"
you're playfully tossed onto the couch, and you have just enough time to chuck a throw pillow in his direction as he heads toward your bedroom.
"i'm stealing your comforter," he announces. "since i don't see a regular blanket around here." you gulp, remembering your johnny cage themed throw blanket that once laid on that very couch. thankfully, it's buried under your other laundry.
"not everyone has blankets for every occasion!" you shout back, settling into your new spot and allocating space for his large body. that is, until you hear eruptive laughter come from your room. of course it was johnny, but the laugh was so hysterical, so out of character, you partially wondered if he had gotten possessed. "babe?" as you're about to rise from your spot, johnny responds in an unusually high pitched voice, strained from the cackling.
"why do you have this?!" his grin is audible, dripping from his upward inflection. your stomach drops, but you try to play dumb in case it's not what you expect.
"have what?" your voice is low, unwilling to give anything away. your question is answered when johnny emerges from the hallway, holding up your dakimakura with one hand, slung around its painted shoulder.
your face heats up in record time. it's a drawing - a realistic one - of johnny, laying down. the other side features the same, except blushing and only in boxers. you must have forgot to fully hide it, and left it on your bed like a fool. and what a fool you were for thinking a simple blanket would conceal it. times like these you wish you could afford a throw blanket to bury yourself in it and hope he'd go away.
"if you wanted me in your bed, you could've just asked," he giggles to himself, admiring the possession. "hey, at least they got my features right."
"please put that away before i die of embarrassment," you quietly beg, voice muffled by your head in your hands.
"really though, doll," johnny's smile doesn't disappear, just lessens. "why, of all things, do you own a bodypillow of me?"
"it was limited edition," you mutter. "the artist put it on sale."
"limited edition? you're a collector?"
shit. you sold yourself.
"maybe."
"collector of what?"
"...paraphernalia."
"i could deduce that. i won't judge you, honey." he kneels down to meet your level, putting his hands on your knees as he sets the pillow down beside you.
"i, uh... i collect things. related to you." johnny's face freezes, lip twitching in amusement as you continue to defend yourself. "i'm not weird about it, though."
"except for the pillow."
"50% went to charity!"
"touché. don't worry about it, sugar," johnny kisses your forehead. "there are worse things to collect. if anything, you're pretty lucky to have a famous boyfriend. lots of stuff to collect. you want one of my shirts? i'll sign it for you—"
"enough, enough," you giggle, swatting your hands at nothing. "this is already mortifying for me. you should see the rest—" you stop in your tracks, smile dropping in an instant.
"there's more?" as he asks, you two stare at each other in disbelief. and before you could react, he darts off to your bedroom, pushing himself off of the wall as he nearly runs into it. you shout-laugh as you follow after him.
"JOHNNY!" as you turn the corner to stand in your bedroom doorway, johnny charges at you and slings you over his shoulder. all you can do is half-resist his grip as he swings your closet door open. your legs kick against his body, and you're slapping his back. "DON'T LOOK!!"
"i can't not look!" he protests, patting your ass playfully. his hand falls to his hip as he inspects your crammed closet just as his grin widens once more. "is that a life-size ninja mime cutout?"

Summary: Spencer's wife gives birth almost as soon as he's back after getting shot in Texas, and he's very grateful.
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Fem!Reader ( fluff mostly)
Content Warning: pregnancy, labor but it's not descriptive,
Word Count: 2.7k
Masterlist Navigation
As soon as Spencer was shot in Texas, Hotch made a rule: no one can tell Y/n. Initially, JJ disagreed vocally. She knew Y/n would call when she woke up in DC, and as much as the thought terrified her, those calls could all go unanswered if he didn't make it.
They both had the mutual, painful experience of having someone they loved in a life-threatening situation and could agree that knowing and not being able to do something was worse than not knowing.
JJ couldn't imagine not being able to be apart of the effort to find Will when he had been shot in the bank, use her profiling skills and then physical combat skill to make sure her family was safe. Hotch also had the experience of a wife on bed rest who struggled to stay resting even when he was safe.
One thing they could all agree on was that Y/n would come to Briscoe county if she knew Spencer was in surgery. Even if Matt Cruz and Penelope had to carry her off the jet because she can't fly, she would drive the twenty-four straight hours to see him.
So Alex and JJ end up in the ER, knees bouncing up and down with nervousness. "I should have been me," Alex confesses, staring down at her hands.
"It could have been any of us." JJ agrees, misreading Alex's blame on herself.
"He pushed me out of the way." She says guiltily. It was eating at her since she pressed so tightly on his wound that she thought it would cause a bruise, hoping to keep enough blood to keep him conscious. "JJ, what if he doesn't make it?"
JJ rests her hand on Alex's thigh. "He'll be okay." She assures her, saying it for herself just as much as she's saying it for Alex. "They're about to have a baby. He'll be fighting for that."
Alex doesn't voice her worries about having to call Y/n and tell her that her husband is dead. Knowing that phone call is coming is probably in the back of Y/n's mind like it is hers, both having husbands with dangerous jobs. Even if it's anticipated, her life will never be the same, and Alex's guilt will never go away.
"You know he told me he doesn't think he's going to be a good enough dad?" Alex recalls their conversation a month prior.
JJ scoffs, shaking her head. "He couldn't be more wrong about that."
"Yeah, that's what I told him." She says. "Have you seen the ultrasound picture in his wallet?"
"Oh, I'm pretty sure he shows everyone that." JJ jokes, both of them chuckling. "And he kisses it every night."
Talking about him being okay eases the tension hospital waiting rooms bring. "He's not just going to be a good dad, he's going to be a great one." She settles.
The waiting seems to blur together as it so often does in situations with very little idleness, and it doesn't feel like a lot of time has passed before his name is called, and Alex is standing to hear his fate.
It's good news, exactly the news she and everyone else was hoping for. She's never felt more relief in her life than when she calls JJ, and says it aloud.
Alex and Penelope occupy his hospital room while he's still out from the anesthetic. With herself from Quantico, Penelope brought the most recent ultrasound from his desk and some little figurines, setting them up in front of him.
"Do you think it's a girl or a boy?" Alex asks, sitting in a chair across from Penelope. "The baby?" Now that neither of them feels like their worry is sucking the air out of them, it's more comfortable to talk about him.
Spencer and Y/n had chosen not to find out, figuring it was one of the few good surprises in life, and they didn't need anything different depending on the sex of the baby.
"Girl," Penelope answers before justifying. "But maybe that's just what I want. We've got Henry and Jack, so we need a little girl."
"That's what Spencer thinks, too," Alex remembers. It had taken a little while to get him to confess to it after all of his insisting that he just wanted a healthy baby
Penelope doesn't get the chance to ask Alex what she thinks before someone else is speaking. "What do I think?"
Their eyes quickly snap to Spencer, and another wave of relief rushes over both of them, overjoyed that he hadn't suffered from any brain damage.
"Hey, you," Alex says softly. "How are you feeling?"
"Alive." He replies, mostly feeling so energized because of the intense throbbing in his neck.
"That, we are very grateful for," Penelope says, squeezing his hand.
He's still groggy, adjusting to the light in the room. "Y/n's not here, is she?" He asks, but it's not disappointment in his tone, it's worry.
"No," Alex assures him. "She doesn't know."
"Good." Spencer agrees with Hotch's reasoning unknowingly. "She has to be on bed rest, and she has to keep her cortisol low."
Worrying about her being okay is making his heart rate jump up, and the girls know they have to keep it down. "She's okay, I promise," Penelope assures him. "You need to rest and get better, so you're okay to fly home."
He nods, settling down a little more. "Alex, you should go back to help the team." He dismisses her when he hears her phone buzzing. "Thank you for being here."
She nods, squeezing his knee after she stands up. "Get some rest."
When she leaves, he turns back to Penelope. "Can I tell you something?"
She nods emphatically. "Always."
"We're having a boy." He informs her.
Her eyes light up as she smiles at him. "Spencer, that's amazing. Did you find out?"
He shakes his head. "No, I just know." Usually, his near-death dreams are memories of his childhood, but in this one, he was standing over a bassinet in their bedroom, looking at the most perfect little baby boy he'd ever seen. He had looked too much like Y/n for Spencer to be seeing a baby version of himself.
Penelope resists the urge to hug him, knowing he's far too injured, but she's in tears about it like he is. "I cannot wait to meet perfect baby Reid."
He nods in agreement. "Me, too. Let's hope she doesn't go into labor until I'm back." He chuckles about it, but there's evident concern that he won't make it back in time. If he wasn't in hospital, he could catch a commercial flight home if needed, but when he's also in the hospital, there's not going to be much he could do.
"You'll be back in time," Penelope assures him.
He holds onto that as things get more complicated with another person trying to kill him, and eventually, most of the force being in on the murders.
By the time the worst of it is over, it's dawn in DC, and Spencer calls when he knows she'll be awake. "Good morning." He says softly.
Y/n mutes the TV, although she wasn't really watching it. There's not much to do on bed rest while heavily pregnant. "Hey, busy last night?"
Spencer sighs, looking around the hospital room that Penelope had vacated to sign his release papers. "Something happened." He confesses.
She nervously bites her bottom lip, her heart already beating faster as she starts to stress. "Tell me quick, please."
Right, he should have known that didn't sound good. "I'm okay now, but I did get shot."
"Spencer Reid, you say that far too casually." She scolds. She knows that if she's hearing his voice, it can't be that bad. "Where?"
"My neck." He answers, figuring he'll leave the piece of information out about how close the bullet was to his carotid artery until he can monitor her blood pressure and pulse. "It's a tiny bandage as well."
Y/n knows he loves his job, and he wouldn't choose to do anything else in the world, but she does wish it was a little less dangerous. "Well, I hope you're coming home soon, so I can properly tell you off."
Spencer chuckles at the comment. "I'll be back by tonight. How are you? Staying in bed?"
"Yes." She says flatly, having been texted the question by him so many times. "I'm good, but I'll be better when you get home."
He feels the same way. "Just don't go into labor before then." He requests.
"I'm weeks away." She assures him, rubbing her hands over the bump. He feels differently, knows it deep down, but he's not going to worry her with his intuition.
"Okay, I should go, so I can sign my discharge papers." He decides, noticing Penelope at the door. "I love you."
"I love you, too." She replies. "Thanks for staying alive."
The jet doesn't leave Texas too late, but it'll be dark in DC by the time they get home. He's asleep almost as soon as he lays on the couch, a deep gut feeling telling him that he'll need it
Penelope keeps the secret about baby Reid to herself while Spencer sleeps, unsure of if he wants it known or not. When they were in the hospital, he looked so sure about it that she's sure of it now.
Before they can get in their cars and leave the airport, Spencer finds a moment alone with Hotch. "I need some time."
Hotch raises his eyebrows like he's asking if Spencer is serious. "I'm glad you're asking because it means I don't have to make it an order."
"Thank you," Spencer says, taking Hotch's offer of a handshake.
"Let us know when the baby comes, and we'd like photos, too," Hotch tells him
Spencer can't help but ask Alex about her slip-up in the car while she drives him home as the memories slowly come back to him. "Who's Ethan?"
"My son." She answers before going into the sad story about his death. Spencer's been around a lot of death, children's death as well, but it's terrifying when he's about to become a parent. "I think he would have been a lot like you." She confesses.
"Thank you." He says simply. For two people with a lot of words, it's enough.
Alex grabs his bag for him when they reach the Reids' apartment, and they walk slowly up the stairs. He knows something is bothering her, and he's guessed what. "Are you leaving?" He asks.
It catches her off guard like she forgot he's a profiler. "I am." She answers honestly.
It's easy for him to understand. At least as soon as he blacked out, he couldn't remember anything else. Alex had been the one trying to stop him from dying, and that responsibility, on top of how horrifying their job was, was enough.
"I'm happy for you," Spencer tells her before putting his key in the lock and opening the door.
Y/n practically jumps on him as soon as he's in the apartment, hugging him tightly but carefully. "Oh, my god. You're back, you're here, and you're okay." She exclaims. Seeing him mostly physically okay is better than hearing his voice on the phone.
"I am," Spencer assures her when he finally gets released from the hug. "You're meant to be in bed."
She hits him on the shoulder. "Don't start." She warns before she moves to hug Alex at the awkward angle she now has to hug people at thanks to massive baby Reid. "Thank you for bringing him home." She says appreciatively.
"Of course." Alex nods. She can't help smiling at how in love the two of them are, remembering almost two years ago when Spencer was worried about not being enough to be her husband. "I'll leave you two to it." She says, stepping backward to leave.
Spencer's not really a hugging type of person, but he jumps at the chance to hug her before she goes, thanking her again and then closing the door.
"We should go to bed." He tells Y/n, even though his hands on either side of her bump make it impossible for them to move.
"You scared the shit out of me, you know?" She tells him, frowning up at him.
He kisses her on the forehead softly before kissing her lips. "I know." He answers. "I was scared, too, before I blacked out. But I will always do everything in my power to come home to you." He assures her, each word with such emphasis and meaning. He looks down at her bump. "And you, sweet boy?"
"A boy?" She asks in surprise, his eyes focusing back on her. "Did you realize you're wrong and now you're jumping ship to the right side, Reid?"
He laughs with her. "Yes, I did change my mind, Reid." He retorts. "Now, did you eat?"
"I did. I cleaned the kitchen too. How many boxes of cereal do you really need?" Spencer's face is blank as he realizes what's happening, and she's concerned. "What's up?"
He knows it'll just stress her out to know how common a sign nesting is of labor, so he doesn't say anything. "Just counting how many boxes of cereal I have."
"Eleven." She answers for him. "Eight now, actually, because I was hungry."
He laughs softly before kissing her again. "Come on, let's go to bed." He guides her through the house with his hands on her hips, glancing around the apartment he was so fond of. The bassinet at the edge of the bed always makes him smile, knowing there's going to be a baby in there and soon if his intuition is right.
He tiptoes out of the bedroom once she's showering to put his laundry on, but he's interrupted before he can turn the machine on. It's his wife with a very uneasy look on her face, her skin paler than usual, like she's sick. "I think I'm in labor." She barely manages to get out, voice soft from her shock.
Spencer doesn't freeze or underperform. Silently, he thanks the universe once again, grateful he's alive and back in DC. He did expect it, but that only contributes slightly to his calm front. "Okay, just breathe for a second. I'll go get your bag, and we'll go to the hospital." He narrates to her, keeping his voice slow to calm her.
It's the second hospital he's been at in the last twenty-four hours, and he would much rather be the one in the hospital bed if it meant she wasn't in pain.
Even though he has barely slept in the last week, there's no way he would miss a moment. He's hyper-alert as he comforts her, refuses to take his hand off hers, and makes a few phone calls.
Some terribly long hours of labor later, they have a baby. It was excepted, obviously, something months in preparation, but it's still unreal.
He's loved the little baby for so long, and he didn't realize that love would amplify exponentially. "You look exactly like this when you sleep," Spencer tells her, looking into the clear bassinet and staring at a face that mirrored hers.
"Your nose, though." She tells him, glad about that fact.
"So perfect." He coos. His phone vibrates, but nothing can knock him out of the moment. "The team's here." He reports.
"Send them in." She directs him, knowing he's asking more than telling. "I just should have brought makeup."
He leans down to kiss her forehead. "You look gorgeous."
Hugs are shared when JJ, Will, Henry, Hotch, Jack, Penelope, Alex, Morgan, and Rossi walk in, smiles on all their faces. Spencer very gently picks up the baby, showing him to everyone. "This is Ethan."
He stays asleep as he gets past around to his aunts and uncles and shown to his cousins, who all awe at him. Spencer stands next to Alex while everyone else talks.
"He's perfect," Alex tells him, even though she knows he's thought it a million times.
"I hope you don't mind," Spencer says nervously. "His name, I mean."
She shakes her head. "It's perfect. Enduring."

Family Secrets
A is for Adoption
Ohstars Alphabet Prompts | G | 502 words | cw: light angst
---
Steve walks through the front door like any other day. He puts his coat on the rack, takes his shoes off and places them by the door, and sets his keys in the bowl. His next move, on any other day, would be to seek Eddie out and kiss him hello.
He doesn’t do that today. And that just won’t do. 
Eddie watches Steve slink through the living room and into their bedroom. No hello. No kiss. Nothing! Before his brain can supply him with every negative outcome possible, Eddie sets down the figurine he was painting in the dining room and follows after his boyfriend. 
“Baby?” he calls, knocking on the cracked bedroom door. “You okay?” 
Steve whines in response, somehow already burrowed under the covers. 
Eddie crawls in behind him and slips under, worming his way up against Steve’s back. Thankfully, and to Eddie’s relief, Steve leans into him too. And even better, Steve rolls over and tucks himself into Eddie’s arms. 
They don’t talk for a while as Steve settles in, breathing even but deep like he’s trying to hold himself together. 
“They didn’t want me,” Steve finally whispers into Eddie’s shoulder. Oh. It’s that kind of conversation. It comes up every few months, how Steve’s family treated him and the effects it still has on him day-to-day. This isn’t new territory, not after the few years they’ve been together slowly chipping away at their respective traumas. 
Eddie kisses his head. “I know, honey,” he sighs.
Steve shakes his head and sits up. “Eds, no, they didn’t want me.” 
This isn’t new information. No, that came with a crushing realization a few months into their relationship when Steve broke down after a night in with Wayne. It was a rough week working through that, but they made it through. “Baby,” Eddie tries. 
He sits up this time, pulling his knees to his chest. “My test results came back from Owens. Everything’s fine or whatever, but he mentioned that I should look into my birth parents’ family history since my symptoms may come from something other than the Upside Down shit.” 
“Birth parents?” 
Steve nods, voice shaky as he says, “Apparently Richard and Julia Harrington aren’t my real parents. According to the records, they adopted me. Owens thought I knew.” 
“Shit.” 
“I have another family out there,” he says into the dark room. “I have another family who could have actually loved and wanted me, but those two selfish assholes took that away from me too. For what?” He sniffles. “Appearances? Political gain? To avoid having their own baby so Julia ‘wouldn’t ruin her figure’?” 
Eddie pulls Steve into him. “I’m so sorry, Stevie,” he whispers. 
Steve leans into him, sighing. “I just don’t get it.” 
“Neither do I,” Eddie says. How could anyone not want you? 
There’s a bigger conversation to be had about it all, but for now, Eddie just holds Steve and calls in take out for dinner that night. All that matters right now is Steve.

Tumblr media
Vincent was usually the one taking pictures of you to carry with him. He was surprised when you suggested that you’d be the one taking pictures of him this time around. He hesitated since Vincent doesn’t like his appearance, but after a little of persuading, he finally yielded and gave you his precious camera for you to take pictures.
And then, you started taking rather innocent pictures of him at first.
You would take random pictures as he worked or made wax figurines. You would also take pictures while you were on dates and then…You had the idea of taking pictures of Vince without his mask.
Of course, he refused at first.
But, he eventually agreed since he couldn’t refuse you anything. You hence started taking pictures…lots of pictures. You even asked him to take poses for the picture.
And he blushed when those pictures would involve him taking off his shirt and you bombarding him with pictures just to have sexy pictures of him.
You *grin before taking Vince by the chin to have a better look at his face.* : "Do not move, love. That’s a good boy…"
Tumblr media
Bo worked at the gas station next to the hospital you were working at and you usually ran into each other after work. And you would walk back home together since you weren’t living that far apart from each other…
You *smile and wave when you spot Bo*: "Hey, Bo ! Wait up…"
Bo looked back at you and smiled.
"Oh, hey there, darls. Did you finish early today ?"
You nodded and you then started walking next to each other. Bo had tried multiple times to ask for your number, but he never seemed to gather the nerve to ask you. And you didn’t seem all that interested so he had decided to just give up…But then, he was surprised when you asked:
"Hey. Wanna come to my place tomorrow ? Maybe…Have dinner with me or something ?"
He was speechless before he finally grinned and chuckled.
"Hell…That sounds good to me. What should I bring ?"
You smirked before replying:
"Your sexy ass should do just fine…"
Bo almost choked on his own saliva.
"Sorry, darls. I think I didn’t hear ya quite right. Could you hum…say that again ?"
You chuckled before glancing back at him.
"See ya tomorrow, handsome."
And with that, you started walking away with a swing to your hips and Bo would be lying if he didn’t say his eyes hadn’t followed those hips until they were out of sight. He then grinned before chuckling and whistling.
"See ya tomorrow, darling !"
Tumblr media
You were in the truck with Lester when you decided to come up with a plan to tell your boyfriend that you needed him…You were discreet at first. You took off your vest and scooted a little closer to him in the truck. He didn’t seem to notice at first. It is only when your hand ended up on his leg that he glanced at you—but didn’t say anything. You squeezed and poor Lester almost let go of the wheel.
"Hum…B-Baby. Hum…Whatcha doin’ ?"
You smirked and didn’t say anything. He sighed and decided to start the car again. He drove for a little while before your hand ended up on his leg again…but higher. You felt him tense up, but he didn’t say anything. You could even see a small smile draw on his lips.
"…You shouldn’t distract the driver, Y/N."
He said after a while, but didn’t push your hand away. It was only when you squeezed again that he snapped his head towards you and grinned.
"Really ? Right now ?"
You nodded in confirmation and he didn’t need to be told twice. He parked the truck and pulled you on his lap to kiss you…
Tumblr media
Hannibal Jr. saw you come back from work and saw that you were upset. He didn’t say anything at first, but frowned a little as you collapsed on the sofa in the living room. He closed his book and slowly made his way to you.
"…Long day, my dear ?"
You wordlessly nodded and he sighed before slowly caressing your hair.
"Do you wish to talk about it ?"
You shook your head negatively and Hannibal Jr. nodded understandingly.
"Very well. Anything I can do to make your day better ?"
You were about to answer negatively when you suddenly had an idea and looked up at him with a small mischievous smirk.
"Well…Since you offered…There might be ONE thing."
Hannibal Jr. raised a quizzical eyebrow at you before he seemed to understand and smirked back.
"~Oh. I see."
He then leaned down to whisper in your ear.
"…The handcuffs are in the drawer to the right."
And with that, he wordlessly stood up and went to the bedroom. You smiled before quickly grabbing the handcuffs and joining him…
Tumblr media
You and Morgan worked at the hospital, so you would often see each other at work. However, your fiancé seemed to not be paying attention to you and be absorbed by his work. So, of course you had to remind him sometimes to pay attention to you…
That’s how you decided to find him and drag him to an empty room to have a…chat.
Him *smirks* : "What is it about, my darling ?"
You *smirk back* : "You know perfectly well what it is about…"
Him *sighs and leans back* : "Fine. I admit having neglected you. I apologise."
You *chuckles* : "Oh no no no. You aren’t getting off the hook so easy. You are going to have to do better than that."
Him *tilts his head* : "Really ? And what do you suggest ?"
You : "…Surprise me."
Morgan took your hand and kissed the back of it.
Him : "Your wish is my command…"
Tumblr media
It was a day when Kevin had been particularly mean to the family and you decided it was time to teach him a lesson…You hence walked past him and whispered.
"You. Come with me. Now."
And of course Kevin followed you. When you were both in the bedroom, Kevin was ready to plead his case and talk…but you shushed him.
"Darling. I love you. But, you talk too much. It is time we do something about that loud mouth of yours…" You told with a smiled before pushing him on a chair.
"Now…I am going to teach you a lesson, and you are going to be a good boy and stay still, alright ?"
Kevin didn’t know what you were about to do, but he smiled nonetheless before whispering.
"Do your worst."
Kevin is and will always be a brat.
You smiled at his reply before tying his hand and covering his mouth with a soft cloth.
"Here we go. Now, the game is…no matter what I do. You have to keep quiet. Can you do that ?"
Kevin didn’t reply, but he nodded and you smiled.
"Good…Now, let’s start…"
Tumblr media
Peter is a sub. In all the possible ways. One word from you and he’d be on his knees for you. That boy doesn’t know how to say no.
Him *cuddling you* : "…Are you okay ?"
You *sighs* : "Yeah. Just had a long day…"
Him *nuzzling your cheek* : "…I don’t like you having bad days."
You *smile and hug him tightly before kissing his cheek* : "It’s okay. As long as I got my good boy to cheer me up."
Him *smiles happily and pulls you closer to him while you stroke his hair.*

The festivities of Christmas were often overlooked by Bucky in his job in favour of rushing off to save a life, but not this year — this year, you were there to bring joy to him, and to all of his team.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬, 𝐒𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭
Tumblr media
Bucky stood in the entryway of the apartment, small figurine in hand. “What’s this?” He turned it over in his grip, inspecting the details of the snowman’s little arms and scarf. “It’s cute, but what is it?” 
“It’s another little guardian,” you said quietly, looking from the little bobble statue in his hand, up to his face. “I thought it could sit on the dash, you don’t have to–”
“Peanut, this little dude is fuckin’ adorable. He’s staying in the truck.” The small snowman wobbled as he shook it, boyish curiosity lighting up his face. “I wanna see if Stevie can send him flyin’,” he laughed, grinning widely down at it. “You know how he is.”
You beamed at Bucky and moved forward to hug him. “I’m glad, now go—go bring festive cheer to those who need it.” 
Bucky kissed you full on the lips before he stepped back towards the door. “I’ll try. Be safe, okay?”
“It’s cookies—I won’t burn the place down,” you teased, and Bucky arched a brow. “I won’t! Now go!”
“If you say so,” he murmured, and he placed the figurine in his bag. “I’ll message you when I get there.”
“Okay, be safe, my hero,” you called, blowing him kisses as you shooed him out the door. The chilled breeze nipped at your nose while you watched him walk away, then you listened for the sound of his car rumbling to life. 
The holiday season has always been nerve wracking as the best friend, now partner, of an EMT, that was a given — drunken mishaps, snowy accidents, combined with the fiery, festive attitude that many people exhumed, and it was no surprise that Bucky, a high-ranking member of the paramedicine force, was run off his feet. 
There were days that he would come home absolutely exhausted, down to the very last fibre of his being, and then there were days that you couldn’t console him in his grief — the loss of a patient far too painful for him to bear. 
On occasion, there were happy days, too. They were relatively simple acts — Bucky making a patient laugh with his absolutely horrible jokes, or if he got to a patient and managed to help them, save them just in the nick of time. 
It was true, Bucky was a real hero, and he needed all the guardians he could get. 
“Alright,” you mumbled, padding slowly into the kitchen, a thoughtful crease in your brow. The ingredients for sugar cookies lined the counter, with the bonus edition of chocolate chips and peanut butter. “Knowing Stevie, he will devour the damn peanut butter ones like no one’s business,” you said louder while you stared at the ingredients. 
The game plan to make the hampers was more stressful than you’d admit.
Finally, you exclaimed, “Sugar cookies, choc chip, and then peanut butter it is—or whatever they’re called.” With the decision made, you set to work on dividing up flour, eggs, and all else of what you needed. 
A few moments passed by with little incident from the flour when your phone chimed. It was Bucky’s ringtone. You rushed to brush your hands of the loose clouds of powder, and you picked up the phone to look at the screen. 
There was a text with an attachment. Excited, you swiped at the screen to open the picture, only you found it was a video.
The thumbnail was Bucky’s face, a broad smirk on his lips. 
You pressed play and watched as he opened his mouth and said, “Stevie here has some words for you, Peanut, baby.” 
The camera flipped to show the blond himself, a pout on his lips. “Where is my little guardian, Peanut?” Steve asked, pointing at the camera. “Stop playing favourites—Bucky is my husband before your boyfriend, so I am in on this relationship.”
You laughed and shook your head. “Just you wait, Cap,” you said.
Through the speaker, you heard Bucky laugh and you watched him shove Steve in the shoulder hard enough that he stumbled out of frame. “Shut it, punk,” Bucky said. “Anyway, this lil’ dude is gonna sit on the dash, baby. And Stevie’s driving first.” 
“Oh no,” you laughed, and you sat down on one of the kitchen chairs as the video ended. 
There was a picture sent next, and you pressed it, smiling happily when you saw the snowman figurine sitting proudly on the dash, right next to the small stuffie you had given Bucky previously. 
Just as you started to type a reply, another message came through with another attachment, this time with the text: HELP ME!
You opened the new attachment, and like the other video, it opened on Bucky’s face — only this time, he looked remarkably more frightened. “Hey, ba- Rogers! Chill out!” There was an engine rev and a laugh in the background before Bucky looked back at the camera. “I have him set up on the dash now, and let’s see how long he lasts.”
The camera flipped forward, and you watched while the snowman wobbled and tipped with the movement of the ambulance. “He’s holdin’ up well so far– Oh, I spoke too fuckin’ soon.” Steve’s laughter boomed over the speaker as the snowman slid over the dash, comedically slow, as they took a corner. 
“I need a guardian just to save me from this punk’s driving,” Bucky lamented, and you grinned as he turned the camera back to him. His eyes were wide in exaggerated shock. “Please, I need more, sweetheart—I won’t last.” 
“On it,” you said to the screen, and you grabbed a pen and a pad of paper before scribbling it down — buy more guardians to save my hero — at the top of your to-do list. 
Just as Bucky opened his mouth to speak again, you heard the telltale beep of their radio go off, then the voice of a dispatcher. Bucky made a noise of affirmation as he listened, and you watched his brow furrowed in concentration as he listened; unable to discern anything from the tinny sound, you couldn’t tell whether it was an ordinary call, or a serious call. 
“Okay, baby girl, I gotta go,” Bucky said quickly, and he looked directly into the camera; directly at you. “I’ll message you later.” He blew a kiss to the camera and smiled. “I love you!” The video ended and minimised on its own. 
“Be safe, babe,” you whispered. Glancing up at the ingredients, you made a hasty decision. You picked up the pen you used to write the previous note, and just under it, you wrote an amendment: buy all my heroes their own guardian, and Bucky an extra one. “They all need it.”

Father’s Day tears and flowers:
This was requested by @jackharloww, thank you!!
A/N: Hazel is three here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was the day before Father’s Day and Hazel had been running around the house all day, making it extremely hard for you to focus on getting things together for tomorrow. She usually didn’t have this much energy but luck would have it that tonight she did.
Jack was in Vegas, and planned on flying home on a redeye.
“Hazel, do you wanna make something for daddy?” You tried to distract her as you started to put together the gift basket you were making for him.
“For Father’s Day?” She giggled having heard you talking about it earlier in the day.
“Yes baby, go sit please” you pointed to the table and she excitedly ran over to it.
You had bought some plain white ceramic figurines for her to paint as Jacks present from her. One horse and two unicorns to represent the three of you.
You realized Hazel had painted the horse entirely in gold, making only its eyes blue and you smiled as she took her time on each figurine.
“Mommy, can we have bagels for breakfast?” She was already planning her breakfast the night before which made you giggle.
“Yeah! I planned on making Daddy those bagel and egg sandwiches he likes” You smiled as you wrapped the gift basket in cellophane.
You let her finish painting her figurines, leaving them out to dry while you got her ready for bed.
“When I wake up will daddy be here?”
“Yes baby” You pushed back her curls as she got into bed, kissing her forehead and telling her you loved her as you went back into the living room.
You had bought a bunch of balloons, hiding them in one of the guest rooms. You set them out in the living room along with his gift basket. You also bought him a bouquet of flowers and set that in the middle of the table.
You knew he wouldn’t be home for hours but you just wanted to be prepared.
You set an alarm so you’d be awake to greet him.
When he walked in the door, you shot out of bed and tiptoed to the living room.
“Was I too loud? Sorry,” he whispered, before looking around the room. “You did all of this for me?”
You nodded, running over to him and jumping in his arms, covering him in kisses.
When he was done kissing you back, you jumped down from his waist.
“Baby, you didn’t have to do this” he walked over to the flowers, holding your hand as you followed behind him. “You’re so cute” he let out a chuckle.
“Don’t act like I don’t buy you flowers every year” you hummed, standing on your tiptoes to kiss his cheek.
He immediately spotted the card with his name on it, knowing you had probably written the sweetest words in it. He looked forward to that part the most, he never told you but you had a feeling. He kept every card you had ever given him locked in a fireproof safe.
“Do you want me to wait until Hazel is awake?” He hummed, his eyes still looking at the card on the table.
“You can read the card now, but I’d probably wait on the gifts.”
He picked up the card with his name written on the outside of it, sitting down at the table, pulling you in his lap.
You scooted yourself back on his lap, leaning against him as he read the card in front of you.
“Jackman,
Happy Father’s Day! Just like every year, you’ve nearly left me speechless but I’m going to try my best to express how much you mean to Hazel and I.
There is no other person I’d rather do life with, let alone parenthood with. Seeing the way you love and care for not just me but our daughter has been the greatest gift of all. You’re so patient, and kind and you go above and beyond for your family. It sounds impossible but I love you more and more every single day.
You are my love, my literal heartbeat outside of my chest, and the hottest DILF ever.”
Jack chuckled at the last line but you could tell by the way he sniffled after that your card made him cry. You turned around and looked at him realizing he had tears streaming down his cheeks.
“Oh baby, I’m sorry. You weren’t supposed to cry! ” You wiped his face.
“These are happy tears” he sniffled, his cheeks red and embarrassed.
You knew he was exhausted and that’s probably a big reason as to why he was so emotional but you found it endearing and loved when he showed this side of him.
“I love you. Thank you for all of this, even though it made me cry” he joked letting out a laugh before wiping his dripping nose with his hoodie sleeve.
“I love you too handsome, you don’t have to thank me” You turned to kiss him.
“Wait, did Hazel paint those?” He pointed to the figurines.
“Let’s get you to bed” You stood up trying to distract him from looking at them too much. “I don’t want you to get worked up again” you teased, standing on your tiptoes to make sure he didn’t have any more tears on his face.
“Normally I’d laugh that off but you’re probably right, my eyes were already starting to sting again” he joked and you couldn’t help but laugh as the two of you walked to your bedroom.

IDK if someone already asked this, but in your personal HCs, what are Shōto & Izuku's love languages for each other?
Izuku realised pretty quickly which language affected Shoto the most: words of affirmation. Granted, it was his words that ignited his partner's fire all those years ago; that was his first clue.
And lucky for Shoto, Izuku was a great talker, who would happily wax poetry about how amazing he was at every given opportunity.
*
I think, initially, Shoto's primary form of showing his affection was gift-giving. After all, he had unlimited access to the bank of Endeavour, and Izuku deserved to be spoiled.
However, as their relationship grew, Shoto realised just how much Izuku loved physical touch... so much more than any limited-edition All Might figurine he'd gifted him. At first, that made him nervous - Shoto wasn't very good at the whole "touchy-feely" thing and he still got uncomfortable whenever it was brought up.
It was frustrating, because he enjoyed touching Izuku; cuddling him; kissing him. It was just the build-up - he couldn't initiate physical contact himself.
He just had a lot of baggage to deal with, and while Izuku never pushed him, his own brain certainly made him feel guilty about not being a "good boyfriend".
It took a while, but luckily, he had a very patient partner, and as he worked through his deeper trauma in therapy, he allowed himself to become more tactile. Now, he loves wrapping Izuku in a hug when words aren't enough; he doesn't feel compelled to ask before leaning in for a kiss.
And there's no better motivation than seeing Izuku's flushed cheeks under the attention.

15. trying to find those little souvenirs with their names on it- Druig 😂
A/N - STELLA! You made me work with this one, Thanks for requesting besite!
Eos and Dolos
Summary - You and Druig take a walk down memory lane
Tumblr media
Warnings -Just some fluff and banter!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
 “Why are we in here again?”
“Because we need to find something for Sersi’s career promotion, and this store in particular has the kind of wine she likes,”
“You mean the wine that was around back in Athens?”
“Exactly!”
You hummed, looking down the aisle at some of the wines that were on display.  Druig was a bit ahead of you, his hands in his jacket pockets while his eyes were scanning the wine labels.  This store in itself was a staple for the area, one of the eldest around and has dated back almost 300 years with some ancient memorabilia and souvenirs.  All of the trinkets and paper weights that were on display ranged from a few dollars to a thousands of dollars give or take.  But Druig read online that the wine he wanted was in this place, which was coincidently a tourist city that used to be thriving thousands of years ago.
You all used to be here once in Greece, long ago when Humans were still getting used to their place on Earth.  Back when they were enlightened with Gods and Goddesses, to how the world was formed and the sense of magic.  Of course it was the time when you were all seen as Gods amongst the humans, being paraded around with every victory and success.  
You loved being in this once bustling city that was thriving and growing by the year, yet now it was simply existing for tourists and the ancient tales that were carved in history. This city was also the place where you and Druig confessed your feelings for one another, so it had a special place in her heart.  
“Woah, look at this!”  You walked over a bit to see what Druig was looking at, a small display case that had some knick knacks from the old ancient Gods.  You looked with a hint of amusement, seeing playing cards, mini statues that were paper weights, Roman Candles, and plenty of other little tokens to buy.  Some of the Gods that you saw were instantly remembered: Aphrodite, Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Artemis.
“Athena,” You said as you took the stature of the Goddess of wisdom in your hand, grinning as you were looking the mini piece over, “Thena never liked that they added the ‘A’ to it,”
“Eh, It still suited her, and they made her less threatening than who she really was.  Good then we knew then, eh?” Druig asked as he took the statue from your fingers and pecked you on the lips before he looked over the mini figurine himself with his icy blue eyes.  He then looked over to see a playing card, his eyes going wide as he picked it up and showed it to you.
“You’re on a playing card?” He asked, you looking and seeing what seemed to be picture of you, or what should be an exact picture of you, on a paying card with the Greek name that was given to you.  Of course it was not exact, but it still felt a bit embarrassing that your resemblance was there on a simply card for tourist to buy.  You were about to snatch it out of his hand to place it back on the display when Druig pulled it out of your reach with a chuckle on his lips.
“Druig!  Put it back!” You hissed in embarrassment as he cocked his head in amusement at you.
“What?  You don’t want to see yourself as ‘Eos, Goddess of the Dawn’?” He asked in a snicker as he teased you a few more times while you tried to get the card away from him, “I must say, you look appealing on this card.  Maybe I should buy it!”
“No!” You huffed, finally getting the card out of his fingers to shove it back on the display quickly before people would notice your abrupt movements.  Druig wrapped his arms around you from behind and snuck a few kisses and your cheek.
“You’re far more beautiful than any artist that could ever draw you,” He hummed against your neck as he pressed one more kiss, “I am a lucky man to be married to the Goddess of Dawn,”
“As am I, being married to the personification of trickery,” You said to him as you pointed to a small mug that had a small silhouette of what was clearly an image of an old coin with Druig’s side silhouette.  You held it to Druig’s face, seeing his smile fall and a look of unamusement on his face.  If there was one thing that Druig hated, it was being in the limelight and being exposed for the humans.  Such a contrast to Kingo who would flaunt his handsomeness for all to see. Druig hated it, he would rather be in the shadows and work as a ghost.  
But of course, he could never escape the humans and their love for Gods.
“ ‘All hail Dolos’.” You said in a mocked triumphant tone as Druig rolled his eyes, “ ‘The Spirit of Trickery!’ Had a nice ring to it, didn’t it?” 
“So embarrassing,” he hummed as he peeled away from you and you giggled, still holding the mug as he was looking for wine again and leaving you behind, clearly embarrassed as the tip of his ears were red.
“What’s embarrassing about it?  You were seen as the trickster who knew how to make the humans do your bidding, right?” You asked, clearly pulling at his leg as he kept walking down the aisle.
“Not listenin’ to ya,” he replied over his shoulder.
“I do recall that one time when you tricked the cluster of men to strip down naked and—“ You went on, though you were instantly silenced by Druig whirled around within a second to place his hand over your mouth.  His face was half amused and half mad, though you knew he would never be fully mad a you ever in your time together.  The face he was given you was almost teetering on unamused but not fully angered.  
You loved this kind of banter that you two had in your relationship, never intense and heavy and yet never bare.  Druig loved making you laugh and smile, even in the dire times and low moments.  Especially in the times of doubt and fighting, you two tried to make it as light as possible.  This was just the same, no scuffle big enough to be alarming and yet small enough to glaze over.  A simple balance, and that’s what made it work for the last several centuries for your two. 
Eos and Dolos, the ying and yang that made it work. 
Before he could say anything, you licked his hand and he huffed, yanking his hand away as your giggled and gestured to the mug, “I’m buying this,” 
He eyed you suspiciously, seeing that you were clearly in good spirits as he grinned, “Fine, then I’m buyin’ your playin’ card,”
It was your turn to eye him with a raised eyebrow, seeing his signature cocky grin back at you, “Let’s go see if we can any of the others in here, as well as Sersi’s wine!”
Druig laughed and then nodded his head, “You’re on.”
The End

Heyy, i really love your matchup idea and really hope you could match me too ☺️
So about me :)
I am 22 and from Europe. I am on the curvier side and really like everything related to beauty and selfcare.
I am a vegetarian and really love to cook and bake and to try out new recipes. I am also kinda creative and love to craft some diy presents
I am a practicing witch who really is into astrology and divination but i would also love to learn more about herbology.
I love a good romantasy book as well as a nice romcom. Otherwise i am a clumsy, sarcastic and kind human being that loves animals and is obsessed with birds (especially with geese)
🤔 I match you with...
König 👑
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Possible matches: Ghost
*Goose/Goose girl
I think König would be a match for you
He met you while he was on a mission close to your area
You were helping out with an event within your community
Everyone loved your baking
Away from the crowd you saw König (without mask and wearing civilian clothes)
He was hard to miss, being so tall
You wanted to give him a cookie but figured he wanted to be alone
That's what you thought at first
But you couldn't keep your gaze away from him
König felt eyes on him and saw you looking at him
His heart jumped when he noticed your small smile
Was you smiling at him?
Was you even looking at him?
He saw you coming over
He kept telling himself to be cool, stay calm and collected
This was part of the mission: to blend in
"Hi"
Your voice drew him out of his thoughts
He felt some calm aura coming from you
Perhaps it was your eyes, or your warm smile
Or the herbal scent coming from you
"Hello..."
"I... couldn't help but notice you not getting in line so I thought I could bring my cookies to you"
You offered him one
"They're homemade"
"Oh... uhm, danke, thank you"
He tried it and felt the taste melt on his tastebuds
This was better than most food he's ever had
"That's really good"
You beamed up at him, feeling happy
"I'm glad you like it. Oh, I've gotta get back to work. It was nice to meet you"
Seeing you go made König feel anxious again
He had to see you again, even if you weren't part of the mission
However, you were taken hostage along with other random people
After what seemed like forever, a recon team came to rescue you all
One particular tall masked sniper caught your attention as he untied your restaints
"Are you alright?"
The voice sounded familiar
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."
His voice was filled with urgency, but promising safety
His gloved hand reached for yours
You slowly took his hand, taking in the size difference for a second
He took you in his arms and walked like you weighed nothing
It took you a bit but you figured out who he was as you listened to his voice yelling out commands to his team
"It's you... the guy I gave one of my cookies to"
"Ja..."
König is a sweetheart
Well, he's sweet to you
He will give you all the cuddles and kisses in the world
With you he feels like he can relax
He's a teddy bear 🧸 underneath the rough exterior
You will use him as a personal body pillow at night
But he doesn't mind
You're so small and don't take up room anyway
He loves nestling his nose into your hair, breathing in your scent
Your scent just calms him down
You're so soft and warm... he could fall asleep
"Mien Liebling, you're so adorable"
"My little bird"
Will nickname you "Goose"
Along with other cute pet names
Or sometimes call you *Gans/Die Gänsemagd
If he sees some figurine or something resembling a goose, he will get it for you
Gifts is one König's love languages
I headcanon he is also a creative person
He'll absolutely love anything you make him
You can count on him to try cooking with you
He's surprisingly not bad
For dessert he'll want those cookies of yours
Because when he eats them, it takes him back to the first day you two met

What If Steve Were To Leave Hawkins? Part 15
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12 Part 13 Part 14
So I was going to have this be the last part but I some new ideas came to mind. Probably a few more parts after this one! As always, I hope you enjoy this part and let me know what you guys think!
~*~*~*~
Eddie kept fidgeting as they made their way down the highway towards Hawkins. He drummed his fingers against his legs, flicked through metal tracks on the cassette, and cracked every joint in his body at least thrice. They’d only been driving for an hour. 
When he switched the Dio cassette for one of Metallica’s, Steve knew he had to intervene in order to preserve what was left of his sanity. “Okay, what’s going on? You keep cracking things even though you know I hate it and we didn’t even get to listen to all of Sacred Heart.  Why are you so nervous?”
Eddie sighed and pulled at his hair before dropping his hands back onto his lap, “I’m nervous to see the kids. The little shits were brutal the last time I saw them in my trailer. They thought I was gatekeeping you from them and they really tore into me. Caused me to have a panic attack bad enough that Wayne kicked ‘em out. I just… what if they yell at me? I don’t think I could take being called a coward again.”
Steve felt a flush of anger at his words. He knew the power that a word could hold. One whisper of ‘bullshit’ and he was thrown into a flashback of Nancy brutally dumping him at the Halloween Party and blaming him for getting her best friend killed. He got it and he loathed that Eddie had such strong connections to being called a ‘coward’. 
“Hey, if any of those brats try to yell at you, I’ll take them out. I’ll ground them or some shit, I promise. I hope they’ll be too happy to see us to focus on yelling at us for leaving. But no one will ever call you a coward again, not where I can hear them. That I can promise,” Steve murmured, eyes flitting between the road and Eddie. He took his right hand off the wheel and laid it palm-up on the center console, an invitation for Eddie to grab hold and seek comfort. 
He did so, taking the proffered hand and laying a gentle kiss on the knuckles, making sure not to distract Steve too much from driving. “Thanks, Stevie. Are you nervous? You’ve been gone a lot longer than I have.”
Steve thought for a moment. He was a bit nervous, being in Hawkins always made him a little uneasy even when he still lived there. He wasn’t too nervous to see the kids though. A part of him still doubted that they really cared about him leaving despite the vocal protests launched by both Eddie and Dustin. “A little bit but not really. I haven’t seen any of the kids in months and I’ve only spoken to Dustin a few times since I left. But I’m not really scared to see them, you know? I’ve got you and Robin and I don’t think me leaving really affected anyone besides you guys and Dustin.”
Eddie shook his head in Steve’s peripheral vision, “Steve, it baffles me that you don’t see how much we love you. You would be shocked at how many people actually care about you.”
Steve just blushed and tried to escape the emotional part of the conversation, “hehe, okay. Ooo, I love this song. The metal guys, right?”
Eddie let him escape this time but he would spend the rest of his life convincing Steve that people loved him if he had to. For now, he would enjoy the grimace on Steve’s face as he pretended to enjoy Metallica, his least favorite metal band, blasting through the speakers to keep up his blatant lie. 
~*~*~*~
When they arrived in Hawkins, they headed directly for the trailer. Eddie had to pack all of his miscellaneous belongings such as DnD figurines, notebooks with song lyrics, cassette tapes, and his extensive collection of gaudy rings. He gave Steve the keys to his van and ordered him to pick up Robin while he went through the arduous task of deciding what could stay and what had to go back to Chicago with him. 
With a kiss to his temple and a hair ruffle to boot, Steve was on his way to Robin’s. The situation at her house had become even more hostile between her and her parents. With the news reporting on the HIV/AIDS crisis and the anti-gay protests, her parents had become particularly vocal about their distaste for homosexuals. They had even turned their suspicious gazes on her and had started questioning her disinterest in dating local boys or wearing makeup. Yesterday, Robin had called Steve to report that her dad had told her ‘If she didn't start dating boys at her age, people were going to think that she’s a dyke. She didn’t want that, did she?’ And so, Steve had called off of work and dragged Eddie to Hawkins to get her out of that environment. 
Both of her parents were at work which made the last minute packing and moving things into Eddie’s van easy. Steve could tell that Robin was sad at leaving her childhood home and cutting off contact with her parents with little more than a short note but, she had no reason to stay with people that would never be able to accept such a prominent part of her. 
Little words were exchanged between the two during the entire process. When he saw a small tear drip from her eye, Steve pulled his best friend into his arms. “Hey, screw them. If they can’t accept you for liking boobies, then they can go to hell, okay?”
Robin just laughed as she wiped her eyes with a closed fist. “Oh my god, don’t say boobies.”
“What can’t I say? Boobies? If I want to say boobies, I’m going to say boobies. What’s so wrong with boobies?” 
Robin shoved at his shoulder and moved to the passenger seat of the van, “I love you so much, Dingus. You always know what to say to make me feel better. Now let’s get out of here.”
Steve just nodded and with one last look towards her childhood home, they set off towards the trailer park to help Eddie finish packing. 
They passed the Henderson’s house on the way and Steve decided to bite the bullet. He’d have to see the kid sometime eventually, right? No better time than the present. He pulled into the driveway and knocked on the door, hoping Dustin was home from school. He wrung his hands nervously as he waited for him to open the door. 
However, it was Claudia that opened it. “Steve? Oh dear, you look like you’ve lost weight. Are you eating properly at your new place? I have lasagne in the fridge, I’ll give you some to take home with you. It should be enough for you and for that Munson boy.”
“Oh, um thanks Mrs. Henderson. Is Dustin here? I know he wanted to meet up while I was here-”
Steve heard him thundering down the stairs before he saw him. His dweeby little brother barreled past his mother and nearly tackled Steve to the ground. “STEVE!”
Steve laughed as all of the breath was knocked out of him upon impact, “Jesus Christ, Henderson! You’re going to break something! How’re you doing? I was wondering if you’d like to come back to Eddie’s with me while he packs up his shi-stuff.”
Dustin nodded exuberantly, “Yeah, of course! Let me get my walkie and then we can go! The others are going to lose their minds!”
So, Steve waited on the porch for Dustin to collect his things. Claudia brought him a takeaway container filled to the brim with homemade lasagne and left him with a promise for him to take care of himself. And then, they were off to the trailer park once again to go assist his boyfriend in sorting out his hoarder tendencies.

Hello <3 Because I always find it to be such a sweet thing to take care of Viktor, could the reader do 'tying their shoe when you notice the laces flying around'? It being sort of a thing that the reader just starts doing the actions that they know Viktor would have a harder time with. (Just like how taller people will get things from high places for shorter people). The reader makes sure he doesn't have to kneel or bend down because of his back and leg. Or walk to much (running around for him)
Hi! I'm so sorry this one took so long JKSHDJHFHJFHJ 🤡🤡 I hope you like it! ❤❤ *proceeds to run away*  🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️
All Our Ways to Say "I Love You"
Viktor x gn!Reader--------1K--------SFW
Tags: Domestic Fluff| Kinda cheesy I'm not sorry| Established Relationship
Viktor learned a lot of things every day.
It wasn’t just about Hextech. Perhaps, in the beginning, he’d been fooled into thinking all his meaningful discoveries were rooted in science and technology development.
But certainly not anymore.
Ever since enrolling into Piltover’s Academy, he must focus on his priorities: maximize his opportunities to climb the tricky social ladder so he could help the people in need as much as Viktor could have the ability to.
It took time—a long one— to comprehend his deeds were a result of love.
Thinking about his creations bettering the life of somebody in need made him feel a warm feeling in his chest, which he thought was pride and nothing more. 
Until that feeling appeared again. 
He loved his hometown, cherishing the memories, both good and bad, that shaped him into what he was now. He loved his parents and the way they went out of their built-in paths to show kindness to those that were seeking it. They were the ones that taught him to try and emulate it. He loved his creations and the knowledge, the discovery of new horizons. 
So, Viktor tried. He was never the one who had a wide social circle, but he was sure to treasure everyone that was persistent and patient enough to linger near his presence.
He spent time with Jayce sharing nerdy in-jokes while tinkering at the lab, helping him to solve a tricky equation. Particularly, he’d pour his actions into a particular someone: making your company for lunchtime, listening happily at anything you would enthusiastically be rambling about—more often than not, about things he didn’t even have a shallow knowledge about. But he’d ask, and he would delight himself in the sound of your voice explaining to him.
Before, Viktor had considered love to be a strange, cryptic world he wasn’t particularly interested to visit. Picturing all the tiring, tragic love stories swarming the opera functions; and the cheesy, totally unbelieving novels that book covers he only peeked on his way to the physics area inside the library.
But something stung deep inside his chest whenever he thought about you that way.
He had to venture into it.
And Viktor learned that love was, shockingly, everywhere around for him. In every heartwarming memory of his parents playing with him as a child, in his mother’s kisses and father’s hugs; in every nerdy joke said by Jayce accompanied by a pat on his shoulder. And of course, in each fleeting kiss, you managed to steal when he was working, in the shy way your arm interlocked with his when you were walking.
Viktor got uncomfortable with an open demonstration of physical affection, and he was still puke-inducingly nervous while thinking about saying ‘I love you’. For that, his way of showing love could be a little… particular, but that didn’t make it less special.
Nevertheless, love made its way.
You had a whole cabinet filled with little figurines Viktor tinkered in discarded metal foils, from butterflies to flowers, even some animals. He helped you fix broken furniture in your home and soothed you to fall asleep in those restless nights while reading out loud some random book he picked from his nightstand.
Mimicking him, you picked up similar customs. Love affirmations may be scarce, but it wasn’t uncertain that the feeling laid each time you guided him to stand tall against a wall of one not-so-crowded hallway in the Academy while you kneeled to tie his right shoelace.
“Ah—than-thank you,” he would stammer, his cheeks all red and hands grabbing the cane’s handle with extra force. You always considered it very cute.
He also considered how cute you were willing to run errands for him. To the laundry, to the lab to bring him lunch when he forgot to put it in his bag, and to make him company when he was going to work overtime. Even picking up some of his medicines—reminding him to take them when he was nose-deep into work.
You wouldn’t make him confess, but he liked your unkempt hair messed by the wind when you entered the lab, face flushed for the exercise, and the brightest smile he’d ever seen when your eyes set on him.
“I brought lunch!” you claimed, triumphant, raising a bag filled with food. Jayce would take one plate and disappear quietly—he would return in an hour and a half with some pastry for you and Viktor.
But now, with the lab all alone for you two, Viktor would clear his worktable to let you sit on it, your legs wiggling in the air as you two ate. Pretending any of you were looking at the other from the corner of your eyes.
While Viktor would reach out for things from taller cabinets to give them to you—why was your cereal always in the highest one?— you’d do the same to accommodate the freshly bought vegetables in the lower drawers inside the fridge.
Actually, you would change your clothes arranged in the closet so his things could be in the higher sections.
He noticed, of course. When you were squatting while looking for the matching top for your outfit. “You don’t have to bother with that.”
“I don’t mind. I like to do things to make you feel better. Because you make me feel that way,” you said. “Besides, it helps. With your leg cramps. I know because I massage you when you get all cramped out, so don’t lie to me.”
Viktor arched his brow, a crooked smile showing part of his teeth. He still smiled like his child-self would have to, and it always made you feel giddy.
“Such a bossy-boots,” he replied, half-choking with a chuckle. Viktor looked at your precarious position, so he reached to disarrange your hairstyle with his hand. “Your purple cardigan isn’t in there. I have it.”
“Oh?” your legs collapsed, and you were sitting on his shoes—you didn’t notice him walking so close. “With whose permission?”  
He shrugged, feeling your hands holding one of his legs and his cane. “Someone likes to steal my sweaters, so I thought it would only be fair.”
You giggled then, head tilting to one side to see him clearly. “I love you, Viktor.”
His face became a deep pink, but his golden eyes were gentle while scanning every feature as he would like to engrave you in his memory.
“You know how much I love you, don’t you?”
Your head brushed his pants as you nodded, and he cupped your hand resting atop his other one over the cane’s handle. “Yes, every day.”
Viktor hummed, proud and happy. And he was convinced the warm sensation pooling from his stomach to every part of his body each time he looked at you was love, too.
