PART 4 of S3 STEDDIE
Hop on board cause I’m making no promises of this being the last part
Tag list: @viridianphtalo @thisisallicouldthinkof @thatonebirthstone @swiftielouie55 @luthienstormblessed @spilled-jar @just-a-tiny-void @marklee-blackmore @stevesbipanic
True to his word, Eddie showed up to the shop around 10 with the Jeff and Gareth. And someone Steve didn’t quite know.
Steve chuckled as he watched the kids crowd him, all of them talking a mile a minute. Steve had informed them happily about Eddie’s DND background the previous night, and Lucas, Mike and Will were quick to jump on board.
El came to stand next to him behind the counter, quickly taking the open stool left behind there for employees.
“Too loud for you?”
El nodded.
“Yeah.” Steve chuckled. “They get like that. It’s pretty sweet, actually.”
El nodded.
Steve ruffled her hair and stepped out of the store to gather the shitheads.
“Hey, hey!” Steve clapped his hands. “Inside all of you! Let the guys in before you hound them!”
Will and Lucas both scurried inside, eager to hear more about DND and the weird shit that goes down in the trailer park. Steve huffed and looked pointedly at Max and Mike, who were loitering.
“You both to. Inside.”
They huffed and rolled their eyes, but made no arguments the second time around.
The guys walked in to, Steve moving out of their way as they all waved friendly hellos.
Eddie stayed by the door with Steve, both basking in silence and the chatter from inside the store.
Steve turned to Eddie. “Hey, uh, I get off of here at 2, and I have to drop the kids off, but um— I was wondering if you wanted to maybe come by afterwards?” Steve refused to look Eddie in the eye and anywhere in the face for that matter. His gaze remained on the floor of Scoops Ahoy while he picked at his bottom lip. He really needed some new chapstick.
Eddie bumped shoulders with him and Steve rocked with the hit. “Totally, Stevie. Why don’t you come by to mine, huh? I can even pick you up at 3?”
Steve did look at him this time, his eyes shining and picking up the nervous grin and bashful blush. Steve grinned merrily and held back a squeal and a clap. “Sure! Of course— totally, that works, uh— 3 then?”
“You got it sweetheart. I’ll see you at the 3.”
And with that, Eddie called the guys over and they all left. Steve finally let out that squeal and clap.
“Steve are you going on a date with Eddie!?”
Oh man.
“Eddie are you going on a date with Steve!?”
Oh man.
“No, Gare-bear. We’re just hanging out at the trailer later.” Eddie denied and denied. He snatched Gareth’s paper bowl of ice cream and took a bite. Gareth huffed and crossed his arms, mumbling about him owing 3 dollars.
“‘Not a date’ he says, and yet Harrington had him twirling his hair and smiling like a middle school girl,” Jeff taunted, giving Gareth his own ice cream to make up for his new lack.
Gareth took the ice cream with a grin and thanks.
“Shut it. I was not twirling my hair.” He so was. Still is, actually.
Brian scoffed. “Dude, get over yourself. You’re clearly into him— and from the looks of it he’s into you! What’s so wrong with saying that?”
Eddie frowned and shoved his hands in his pockets. “Cause I kind of wanted him to be an asshole.”
Jeff raised and eyebrow, stealing a bite of Brian’s ice cream.
“Like—“ Eddie waved a hand in the air. “—he was an asshole in high school, but also, not really? He never actually did anything to anyone. Barely even laughed. He was just bitchy, now that I look back on it. And I guess there was some part of me that wanted him to be an asshole so that I didn’t seem like a dick for hating him.”
“But you don’t hate him.” Gareth pointed out with his ice cream spoon.
Eddie scoffed and flailed his arms to turn around. “Yeah well— I don’t know!”
“You literally just asked him on a date?” criticized Brian.
“It’s not a date! We’re literally just hanging out!” Eddie continued walking backwards out of the mall.
“Yeah,” Jeff rolled his eyes. “You guys are ‘hanging out’ but he’s coming to your place at 3 and just the mere idea of it has you not only red in the face but so flustered you trip.”
“What?” Eddie asked incredulously. “I didn’t tri—“
He tripped over a curb in the sidewalk.
Gareth spit out his ice cream laughing at him. At least it didn’t get on Eddie this time.
Whatever.
It wasn’t a date.
It wasn’t a date.
But Steve was getting ready for it like it was.
Max and Mike were on his bed. Neither really wanted to go home and decided to stick at Steve’s for a bit longer. Steve let them, but he called Jonathan over beforehand to keep an eye on them. It got him an eye roll from both of them but it was whatever.
Mike and Max were sifting through the shirts he’d pulled out from his closet.
“You don’t have anything.. I dunno, darker?” asked Max.
Mike scoffed. “Don’t even. Eddie’s clearly into the pastel shit Steve wears.”
“I don’t see why.”
“Yeah well not everyone wants to look like a walking traffic cone.”
Max threw a polo at his face.
“Do you have any of those sweaters you used to wear with Nancy?” Asked Mike.
“What about that light blue one Nancy got you for Christmas last year?” Asked Jonathan from the bedroom doorway. They all jumped at the sudden intrusion.
“Christ, Byers!” screamed Mike.
“Don’t ‘Byers’ me, Wheeler. I’ll take your crayons.”
Mike stuck his tongue out.
“I don’t have the sweater right now, it needs washed.” Steve answered. He’d gotten batter on it when he was baking with Joyce and El a while back.
Mike bypassed him and looked through his closet. Steve let him. He knew he’d be missing a couple of button ups later (they all stole each others clothes one way or another) but it was whatever.
Jonathan joined Max on the bed.
“What about these jeans?” Jonathan held up a pair of light wash blue jeans that Steve still fit from junior year. Well— “fit” was putting it lightly. They squeezed around his ass and thighs a lot more than they used to. But maybe that was what he needed tonight.
“Yeah, those work.”
“These to!” Steve barely caught the shirts— plural— that were thrown at him from Mike. The first was one of his many white tank tops. He threw it on without much thought and examined the second shirt. This one was one of his more rare shirts; a short sleeve, light brown, flannel button up.
“Put it on, doffus.” Mike waved his hand at him in a scarily similar way to Erica. Steve wondered briefly if Erica got it from Mike or if Mike got it from Erica.
Steve put the shirt on and buttoned only the bottom button. He tucked it in the jeans very loosely.
It was oddly perfect.
“Now go change! Maybe I can do your eyeliner!” Max shoved him away.
Steve scoffed. There was no way he was letting her do his eyeliner.
.
Steve let her do his eyeliner.
It was painful. Max poked him in the eye with the pen at least 3 times and he kept having to remind himself that he couldn’t rub at his eyes unless he wanted to ruin it and go looking like a raccoon.
It was a pretty subtle touch, actually. Max and Mike made sure to keep it light while Jonathan watched from his desk chair. Mike even let Max do his eyeliner. The eyeliner brought just enough attention to his eyes but also distracted from his ungodly eye bags. He needed to buy some more concealer soon. Max offered hers but they aren’t the same shade.
Jonathan even convinced him to put in his diamond studs. Which sent Max and Mike into a frenzy about his ears being pierced. He’d gotten them done as a baby because his mom wanted them done but his dad refused to let him wear earrings.
Mike whined about wanting his ears pierced for a while.
In the end, Steve was happy with his new look.
Max and Mike stared at him, examining.
“I love it.”
“It suits you, oddly enough.”
“Happy to please.” Steve gave a dorky bow. Max and Mike scoffed.
“You look amazing, Steve. Before you go I do want a picture though.” Jonathan held up his camera.
“A picture? What for?”
“You’re first date with a guy, duh!” Yelled Max. Mike snickered.
Steve flushed. But in the end he let Jonathan take the picture.
That was when the doorbell rang.
It wasn’t a date.
But of course Eddie was treating it like one.
Which is why he sat with Gareth, Brian and Jeff in his room, rifling through his drawers for something half-decent while they tried their bests to pick up the absolute wreck of a room.
“Dude I promise he’ll like you in anything you wear. Seriously.” Reassured Jeff.
“I know I know! But I want a shirt that’s at least clean!” Exclaimed Eddie over the racket of Metallica playing from his radio.
Gareth and Brian shared a look.
“Eddie. Park your ass.” Gareth demanded.
Eddie opened his mouth.
“Park your ass right the fuck now.” Gareth snapped his fingers and pointed to the bed. Eddie huffed and sat like a dog. Gareth was scary when he was mad.
“Now listen. You’re fine. You have like half an hour before you have to pick him up. All you really need is a shirt and a pair of jeans that don’t smell odd.” Gareth went to take Eddie place rifling through his dresser. “Boom.”
The jeans he threw at Eddie were black (like all his jeans) and had rips in the knees. The shirt was a simple, white, used-to-be-t-shirt with the sleeves cut off and the entire thing cropped to just above his bellybutton. Not to mention all the holes in it from getting caught in fences and just deciding to take scissors to it one day. The black Metallica symbol was well faded with time and love.
Eddie deemed it good enough and changed quickly.
“Now.” Gareth clapped his hands. “Put your hair up in a bun, get it off your neck. But not a high bun, just right behind your head. Hang on lemme—“
Eddie, Jeff and Brian let Gareth do his thing. Surprise surprise; Gareth had actually been on his fair share of dates. A lot more than the rest of them anyway. And whatever the hell he was doing seemed to be working so fuck it.
Putting his hair up showed off where Eddie had pierced his ears all the way up, and the multiple studs and hoops going through the holes. Honestly it was refreshing getting his hair off his ears— strands kept getting caught in his earrings.
Jeff grabbed Eddie’s jewelry box from his dresser and sat down with it on his bed. Eddie stood in front of him while he attached chains to his belt loops for him.
Brian helped him clip a couple of silver necklaces and chains on as well and Gareth convinced him to put in his earrings and piercing. And soon enough Eddie was a menace to metal detectors around the world.
And right on time to.
Eddie rushed to put on his extremely worn out converse before running out the door with the other guys.
Gareth was dropped off first, then Brian. Then it was just Jeff and Eddie in the van while he drove.
“You’re gonna do great, man.” Jeff reassured. Eddie sighed.
“I know. I know that— but it’s like. Seriously nerve racking. Like I’ve been on little to no dates in my life but hanging out with Steve Harrington? Jeez.”
“Why are you so nervous? Make a move tonight! Ask him out for real this time man. I’m like 100% sure he’ll say yes.”
“Yeah but asking out Steve is like asking out a single mother. You don’t only have to lover her but the kids as well.”
“Those twerps?”
“Those ‘twerps’ were the subject of several of our conversations yesterday because of how much Steve loves them. I haven’t even met all of them apparently!”
Jeff laughed just as Eddie pulled up to his house. “You do you man. All I’m saying is make a damn move. Cause if you don’t, I will.”
Jeff got out of the car cackling while Eddie yelled at him from the drivers seat.
Steve opened the door and nearly fell over in astonishment.
Holy shit?
“Holy shit?”
Eddie grinned down at him. “‘Holy shit’ what, Harrington?”
“I— you— um. Uh.”
“Jesus, this is pathetic, Steve!” Mike yelled from the couch.
Steve hushed him harshly over his shoulder. He turned back to Eddie so quickly his bangs hit him in the face. “Sorry! Sorry. Mike and Max insisted on staying over for a bit. Come inside for a moment? I still have to grab a few things.” he smiled nervously and apologetically.
Eddie smiled back and accepted the invite in.
Steve is proud to say he only panicked a little. The back of his neck was moist with nerves and his hands were starting to get cold but he hasn’t burst into tears yet so he’ll consider it a win.
And honestly— with how Eddie showed up looking?— that’s such a fucking win.
God Steve wanted to to bite him.
Eddie made himself comfortable in the living room with Max and Mike while Steve dragged Jonathan upstairs to his room.
He closed the door maybe a little too loud but it’s fine. It’s whatever. What’s not whatever is the current impending breakdown over everything finally settling in.
“Steve. Sit down.”
He sat on the floor.
“That works.”
Jonathan sat right next to him and gathered him in his arms. “You’re ok. You looks amazing. Those jeans do wonders for your ass. I’m sure he thinks you look fucking fantastic. You’ve got this.”
And for a while that was how it went. Jonathan whispering small reassurances until Steve felt himself-enough to finally go back out there.
“God he looks so /good/, Jonathan! I wanna fucking bite him!” Steve put his head in his hands.
Jonathan smirked. “Save that for at least the third date, Steve.”
Steve groaned.
There was an insistent knocking on his bedroom door.
“If Steve’s done freaking out I think you guys should go soon!” yelled Mike from the other side.
Steve quickly stood with an uttered curse. The moment he walked back into the living room Eddie’s eyes seemed to lock on him.
Steve gulped.
Eddie gulped.
‘Holy shit’ was right.
Steve looked… he doesn’t even know. Ethereal? Divine? Like a fucking meal?
God Eddie wanted him.
And— Jesus Christ— was that eyeliner?
Steve Harrington was going to be the death of him. “Eddie Munson, 1965-1985, killed by the prettiest boy to ever walk this fucking Earth.”
Jesus H. Christ.
Steve invited him in and Eddie accepted. A smooth feeling of proudness and self-confidence flowing through him at the stuttered responses from Steve. Guess the guys were right. Though he’d never admit that to them.
The moment Steve closed the door behind him he was bounding off with Jonathan upstairs. Eddie tried not to think too much into /that/.
“He’s nervous.”
Eddie looked at Max.
“Nervous?”
“Hella. We’re talking 3 breakdowns and a panic attack nervous.” Confirmed Mike. “Dustin’s gonna be so pissed he missed Steve’s first date with a guy.”
Max snickered at that.
Eddie sputtered. “It isn’t—“
“—a date. Well I call bullshit. If you like Steve you take him out and you make him feel good, you hear me?” Max threatened.
Eddie put his hands up in surrender. “Nothing but the best for Stevie.”
Mike eyed him. The kid was actually kind of scary.
“You hurt him and I blow your fucking brains out.”
Jesus H. Christ. Steve Harrington control your kids.
Eddie sat on the other side of the living room from them.
When Mike went to go gather Steve and Jonathan after an impending 10 minutes, Eddie sat in momentary silence with Max.
“Mike means good. He’s a jackass but he’s been through some of the most with Steve.”
Eddie looked her in the eyes. “I promise on my weed stash and swear on my mothers grave that if hurt him neither of you will get a chance to fulfill your threats before I dig my own grave.”
Max snorted at that. Just as Steve came back, to.
Eddie’s eyes locked on him immediately, greedily drinking in the beautiful curve of waist and those plush thighs squeezed nicely by his jeans.
Eddie stood and gave a two-finger salute to Jonathan and waved off the kids. He and Steve were stepping out in no time.
“So— hang on. Are we gonna take my car or your van?” Steve asked Eddie once they’d stepped off the porch.
“Uhhhh,” Eddie hesitated for a second. “My van? And I can drop you off afterward.”
Steve nodded. “Okay. Okay cool.”
“Cool.”
They got in the van.
Steve demanded control over the music, claiming to refuse to listen to “that bullshit” the entire way (it was only a 10 minute drive, tops), but Eddie let him have it. Although he complained immediately about the Wham! Steve had put in. Steve dismissed him jokingly and sang along quietly to Careless Whisper.
Eddie chuckled and watched him out of the corner of his eye. It was quite the scene; Steve Harrington in his van, singing to Wham! while tapping on his thighs.
Eddie focused on the road.
Eddie pulled up to the trailer at the tail end of Killer Queen by, well, Queen.
Steve forced him to stay in the car until the end. Eddie found it stupidly endearing.
When they did finally leave the car for the trailer, Eddie remembered Wayne being home. He waved at the old man sitting in the recliner. Steve followed his example and waved as well.
“Hello, sir.”
Wayne clicked his tongue. “Don’t use that ‘sir’ bullshit on me, boy. I ain’t your daddy.”
“Oh! Sorry, Mr. Munson.”
“No—“
“C’mon, Stevie.” Eddie smirked.
Steve looked confused between Eddie and Wayne, before apologizing once more to Wayne and hurrying to follow Eddie to his room.
His room.
Steve held back a squeak. He was going to Eddie’s room! Oh man. He might pass out. Is he gonna pass out? Gosh that’d be embarrassing.
Eddie sat on the bed and patted next to him. Steve sat as well, but kept to the edge of the bed.
“Sorry, totally forgot Wayne didn’t have work for another hour.” Eddie rubbed the back of his neck.
Steve shrugged. He didn’t mind, really.
“So? What does the amazing Hair do in his free time?” Eddie’s asked, leaning his head in his propped hands and smirking at Steve.
“The amazing Hair carts around like 7 kids in his free time.”
Eddie snorted something ugly and Steve laughed at the noise.
.
Talking to Steve was easy.
Eddie never thought he’d find this kind of relaxation outside of his Corroded Coffin guys yet here he was, lighting up with Steve Harrington of all people while they traded banter like old friends.
It was one hell of a time.
Eddie’s regretful to say that they seemingly spent a good hour talking about other people instead of theirselves.
Steve waxed poetry on his kids, even as he gave each one a good hearted insult right along with the praise.
“Dustin’s a menace. The tone that boy has! I mean— sure he’s smart and a good kid but Jesus Christ someone needs to knock him down a notch!”
Eddie snorted, a plume of smoke coming out of his nose with it.
“And Mike can be downright insufferable sometimes. Don’t get me started on when he gangs up with Max. They’re fucking brutal.”
Steve was laying on his back on Eddie’s bed, his legs bent at the knees and were squished between himself and the wall. Eddie was right beside him, so close Steve’s head was practically in his lap.
He wouldn’t mind Steve’s head in his lap.
Shit— he wouldn’t mind his head in Steve’s lap. Eddie’s head, cushioned on those divine thighs? Mark him down as eager and horny.
Anyway.
Wayne popped in some time later, sending them both a goodbye. Much to Steve’s cute confusion.
“Why’d he say bye to me to?” He looked up at Eddie with wide eyes.
Eddie gave into an impulsive urge and booped his nose. He snickered when Steve went cross eyed watching the movement. His nose wrinkled adorably.
Steve Harrington was a sweetheart when high.
“Cause you’re here, ain’t ya? It’d be rude to not say bye.” Eddie shrugged taking a drag and passing the blunt to Steve. Steve took it with gentle fingers.
They blew out at the same time accidentally and it sent Steve into a fit of giggles.
He was an absolute sweetheart and Eddie was determined to get every cute reaction he could out of him.
They smoked for a few minutes longer, the blunt finally reaching the end and Eddie putting it out. Steve had moved to sit at the edge of the bed, his left leg crossed under his right. He was chewing at his nails again, staring into space.
Eddie sat next to him, and when Steve didn’t give any sign of acknowledgement Eddie finally reached over and grabbed his hand. He forced Steve to stop chewing on his already ragged nails by interlacing their fingers and his rubbing his thumb over his knuckles.
Steve sighed and leaned into Eddie’s shoulder, eventually dropping his head onto said shoulder and digging his forehead in as if trying to bury himself.
Eddie would let him.
“I haven’t relaxed like this since sophomore year,” Steve informed quietly.
Eddie hummed. “I think that’s when you first started buying from me, right?”
Steve snickered. “Yeah. And then I made Tommy do it for me.”
“Why, did I scare you?” Eddie teased.
“Something like that,” was the mumbled response.
Eddie hummed. “Well I shouldn’t. I’d never hurt a fly. In fact— flies kind of scare me.”
Steve snorted and giggled into his shoulder.
“It’s true, ok? Don’t laugh jackass! Flies are creepy little fuckers.”
“No, no.” Steve laughed quietly, his hands gripping Eddie’s arm weakly. “You didn’t scare me, per se—“
“‘Per se?’” Eddie mocked.
“Shush! —per se,” Steve continued pointedly. Eddie laughed. “You just— intimidated me?”
“Are you asking me?”
“You’re kind of an ass, you know that?”
“So I’ve been told.” Eddie snickered.
Steve rolled his eyes, but the grin on his face erased all doubts in Eddie’s mind.
“You’re a cool guy, you know that Steve?”
Steve looked up at Eddie, his eyes impossibly wide. It was cute, how his nose scrunched up and his eyebrows furrowed. How his pretty, pink lips parted with a sharp exhale. Eddie smiled.
“And you’re an oddball, Eddie.”
Eddie’s shoulders shook with the laugh that barreled out of him.
I’m so sorry this took so long to get out 😭
Writers block hit like a motherfucker after writing their outfits lmao. Lemme know if you wanna be tagged!! Part 5 should actually be the last part :)

Summer Break pt.7 - Fun House
Tumblr media
Warnings: Profanity & Smoking
————
Day 9, 1986
Y/n yawned as she stood up from her bed, rubbing her eyes she looked over to Slash’s empty bed.
Her eyebrows scrunched together, weird she thought, I always wake up before Slash.
Her sock covered feet walked out of her room, heading towards the bathroom. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, then brushed her hair. Her usual morning routine.
Walking out the bathroom, she glanced over a clock that was right above the doorway.
2 pm, it read. Her eyes widen. This was the most sleep she’s gotten since the incident. Her thoughts & nightmares keeping her up at night.
Y/n sighed as she stood in the middle of the living room, where was everyone?
And as if the man above could hear her thoughts, everyone came walking through the doorway.
“Hey! you’re finally awake” Slash said as he stared at Y/n, smile on his face.
“Yea” Y/n croaked out, “Where were you guys?” she asked.
“Down at the Roxy, we got a gig tonight” Axl said as he sat on the couch.
“Who plays a gig on a Tuesday night?” Y/n furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at the red head in front of her.
“People who have no life” Izzy sighed
Y/n just pursed her lips as she tried to stop herself from laughing.
She sat next to Axl, then Duff went ahead and sat himself next to her.
“Where’s Mandy?” Y/n asked, thinking about how she hasn’t seen her in a while.
Duff looked over to her, “She’s been working, and she’s been going to this like summer school. Some college shit.”
Y/n just let out a little hum.
“Do you wanna come tonight?” Steven said, smiling at her.
Y/n looked over to Duff, smile on her face “Can Fru come?”
“If he wants” Duff shrugged.
“Okay then, I’ll see”
After a few moments of all of them watching T.V, Slash in the kitchen (probably looking for something to drink). Y/n spoke up.
“Duff” The dark haired girl said, in a hushed tone
“What happened Y/n” Duff looked at her.
“I wanted to ask you if um, if Fru could come over today” She whispered, only so Duff can hear.
Duff raised his eyebrows, “As in here?” he motioned, Y/n just nodded her head.
“Okay. That’s cool.” He nodded, grabbing a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
Y/n smiled, “Thank Duff”.
The girl got up and headed over to Duffs house phone, dialing Johns number.
“Hello?” The voice said on the other side of the phone.
“Hey Fru” Y/n spoke, hand twirling the phone cable.
“Hey Y/n, I was waiting for you to call” John said as a smile grew on his face.
And as the boys heard who Y/n was calling, all heads turned to Duff.
Axl nudged him, “Is he coming over?”
“Yea he is, try not to give him a hard time.” Duff said as he gave Axl a look.
“Who’s coming over?” Steven asked, in a much louder tone then the boys were speaking.
Duff pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, “Y/n’s little friend”
“Oh m gee” Steven said as he looked over at Y/n talking on the phone.
“I asked Duff if you could come over” Y/n spoke on the phone.
“Really? what did he say”
“He said yea” Y/n said, turning to face the wall so the boys couldn’t see the smile on her face.
“I’m nervous, what should I wear?” John said
Y/n let out a little laugh “Jesus Fru don’t freak out, just wear what you usually would”
“Okay, okay yea you’re right” The boy breathed out, “When should I come over?”
“Now” Y/n simply said
“Okay i’ll be there in like one- three minutes” John said, Y/n could hear him getting up from his bed (Or maybe it was his bean bag, she was unsure).
“Okay cool, see you then” She smiled
“Yea, okay” He said
After a couple seconds a silence, Y/n smiled and rolled her eyes “Bye Fru” she said as she hung up the phone.
“He’s coming over?” Duff said, turning his head to look at Y/n standing by the phone.
“Yea” she said
“And you’re wearing that?” He asked her.
She looked down at her oversized hoodie & her socks, furrowing her eyebrows “I see nothing wrong with what i’m wearing”
“Also, be nice to him alright?” She said, her head tilting to the side.
“We’re the nicest people to exist” Axl smiled at her
Y/n sighed, “Just be nice”
“Shit i never told him what room number were in” Y/n said to herself, walking into her room to put on her shoes.
Before walking out the door, she turned to look at the five boys, who were already looking at her.
“Be nice” She said as she walked out.
“Are we gonna be nice?” Izzy asked, looking at Duff.
“I think we should” Duff said, wondering if he should interrogate the boy.
“Should i ask him any questions?” Duff asked the boys.
“Ask him if he does drugs” Slash said
Axl shook his head, “Probably not the right time to ask that question, ya know, after what happen.”
“Shit yea you’re right”
“Ask him if he’s a virgin” Izzy said, letting out a laugh.
“Okay you guys are no help” Duff rolled his eyes.
“Do you think they’ll like me?” John said as him and Y/n stood in front of Duffs door.
“I think so” Y/n said “Just be yourself” she smiled at him.
He breathed out “Okay”
Y/n opened the door to reveal all five men sitting on the couch (and two of them sitting on some lounge chairs that came from god knows where).
“You must be Fru” Duff said, standing up
John looked at Y/n with wide eyes “That’s me”
“I’m Duff”
“Cool” John blurted out, looking at Y/n to help him out
“He knows who all of you guys are” The girl spoke up.
“So are you guys dating or something” Duff asked, slight smirk on his face as he watched the two become flustered.
“No!” They both said in unison
“We’re just um” Y/n said looking at John, then back to her brother “We’re just friends” She awkwardly smiled.
Duff laughed at the two, “Alright, that’s cool”
“You a virgin?” A voice, which belonged to Steven spoke up.
Johns eyes widened (even more, if possible) as he heard the rest of the boys let out a small laugh “What?” he embarrassedly said
Y/n furrowed her eyebrows, upset that they had made John feel embarrassed.
She shot a nasty look towards Duff, then to Steven “Fuck off Steven” she rolled her eyes.
Grabbing Johns hand, she walked the both of them to her room and closed (more like slammed) the door shut.
She rolled her eyes “Sorry about that”
“It’s okay, he just caught me off gaurd” he said, taking a look at Y/n’s room. “Do you share this room?” he asked, looking at the very messy side of the room.
“Yea, that’s Slash’s side, he’s not the cleanest person” She let out a little laugh.
She went ahead and layed herself on her bed (The side by the wall, if that makes sense). she patted the empty side next to her “Bring your ass over here” she said as John smiled.
Laying next to her, John turned his head to look at her.
“I um- I wanted to ask you something” Y/n said, remembering the concert.
“Don’t scare me” John furrowed his eyebrows
“It’s nothing serious” Y/n smiled “It’s just the guys have a concert tonight, and they asked if I wanted to go”
“Let me guess, you want me to go with you” John attempted to smile.
Y/n sighed “Yea. I just don’t wanna be there alone”
“I’ll go with you” he looked at her
“Really?” Y/n raised her eyebrows “I don’t want you to feel forced to come”
“I wanna go” John said
“Oh, okay” “But if you change your-”
John chuckled at the girl, “Y/n don’t worry, we’ll go together okay?” He said holding her hand.
Y/n nodded her head “Okay”
John looked over her face, “You know you haven’t kissed me today”
Y/n rolled her eyes, and gave him a kiss “So sorry sir Fru”
“All is forgiven” He spoke in a british accent, making Y/n laugh.
And on the other side of the door…
“What are they saying?” Steven said in a hushed tone.
“I can’t hear” Axl said, his ear on the door
“Should they even have the door closed?” The redhead continued, turning over to look at Duff.
Duff furrowed his eyebrows “I don’t think so?” he questioned.
Axl huffed, “Do you want them to have the door closed”
“Not really” the blonde scratched his neck
“Yea they shouldn’t have it closed” Slash spoke from the couch.
“Leave them alone man, what’s the worst that can happen” Izzy said, blowing out smoke from his mouth.
Duff shot him a look “I think we know what’s the worst that can happen”
Izzy shrugged, “You’re right”
“Maybe tell them something?” Steven looked at Duff.
“I don’t think I-” Duff spoke
“If you don’t tell them something i will” Axl rolled his eyes.
“No no, just go in there and see what their doing” Duff said
“What?” Axl furrowed his brows.
“Make up and excuse or something, see what there doing then come out and tell us” Duff said
“I could pretend I needa get something” Slash said.
“Perfect, okay everyone act like everything’s normal” Duff said, walking away from the door, Steven and Axl following him.
“Nothing about us is normal” Axl mumbled to himself.
“You better act Slash” Duff said
“Oh yea, i might change career paths after this” The curly head laughed, walking towards the door.
“No but really what was tha- Oh hey Slash” Y/n said as she stared at Slash.
Slash’s eyes quickly darted at the scene in front of him, Johns head was on Y/n’s chest, Y/n was running her hands through his hair.
Wait… has Y/n had a tank top on this whole time? Slash thought to himself
“Hey” he nodded towards the both of them, “Sorry- just came in to grab my um… jacket.”
Y/n smiled, “Okay”
Slash grabbed whatever jacket was laying on his bed, turning around and walking out the door, leaving it open.
“he left the fucken door open” Y/n mumbled as John lifted his head to look at her.
“There’s a lot of people in this place” John spoke
“I know” Y/n sighed, “But they’re cool, i promise”
“They sure look cool” John smiled “Real hardcore”
Y/n laughed “Yea” “But they’re actually some dweebs”
John rubbed his face tiredly on Y/n’s chest, lightly laughing.
Axl peeked his head through the door, scaring John as they made eye contact.
“What?” Y/n said as she saw John flinch.
“Nothing just- one of your brothers friends” He said looking at the door.
Y/n looked at Axl and laughed “What are you doing Axl?”
“Oh nothing… just keeping an eye out” The red head said as he walked passed the room.
Y/n just rolled her eyes “Regret coming over?”
“Only a little bit” John said as he looked at the girl smiling in front of him.
“Do you think they’ll see me if I kiss you?” John whispered.
Y/n looked at the door “Hopefully not” she said as she leaned in to kiss him.
“HEY!” The two heard as they broke away from their kiss, turning to look at who the hell was spying on them.
“Axl what the fuck are you still doing there?” Y/n asked
“That’s not what’s important” Axl said as he turned his head to call Duff “DUFF COME HERE”
“What?” Duff said walking over to the door, along with everyone else.
“I’m fucked” John mumbled to Y/n as she laughed at him.
“You’re fine Fru” she mumbled back
“They were kissing!” Axl said, pointing at Y/n and John.
“And you guys are just friends huh?” Duff looked at the two, especially at John.
“Don’t be so exaggerated” Y/n rolled her eyes “We just kissed”
“KISSING LEADS TO SEX!” Steven spoke from behind Duff.
The two teenagers’ eyes widen
“Jesus Christ Steven” Y/n said
“You know it’s the truth!” Steven said
“That’s not my intention with Y/n” John said, looking at Duff.
“How do i know you’re telling the truth?” Duffs eyes narrowed at the boy.
“I don’t know” The boy shrugged “You just have to trust me.”
“Trust you? Just like that, just trust you” Duff scoffed
“I mean yea- I get what you’re trying to hint at, But I never intended for the shit that’s happen to happen, it just did” John spoke, “Y/n’s a good person, I wouldn’t want anything to happen to her”
After a few seconds of silence, Y/n spoke “You heard the man!”
Duff sighed, walking into the room and closing the door, leaving the other men outside.
A loud “Aw what the fuck!” was heard on the other side of the door.
Duff sat on Slash’s bed, facing Y/n and John, who were now sitting on the edge of her bed.
“Look- I appreciate you telling me that, and i know you two are just some teenagers and you guys should be exploring this world in LA, but i don’t want neither of you to get hurt” Duff breathed out.
“Physically or emotionally, and fuck- you guys have already seen some shit in just the week that’s pass. And i don’t want anything else to happen.” Duff said as he looked over the two.
“And I don’t dislike you Fru- it’s just that i don’t want you two acting like you guys have all the time in the world. Cause you don’t. Y/n’s leaving, and i need you guys to remember that.” He said, finally finishing what he had to say.
Y/n sighed, the ugly truth has been told. Neither John or Y/n wanted to admit it. But they had already fallen for each other. And it made Y/n want to cry.
“I get it” John said “Thanks for looking out for us” he sighed out.
Y/n looked at Duff “Yea- Thanks”
Duff smiled at them, “Yea” he said, “You guys still coming tonight?” he asked, as if he hadn’t just hit them with the heart wrenching reminder that they didn’t have all the time in the world.
“Yea. We’re going” John smiled at him.

A Blinded Kiss
I haven’t posted anything recently so I dug around in my WIPs to see if anything was even worth posting and I found this that I made a while ago. It certainly isn’t the best but it isn’t the worst out of all my other WIPs.
Tumblr media
"Is this really necessary?" The bluenette asked, eyeing a blindfold given by her brotherly figure.
"Of course it is Pixie!" An older man with two-toned hair replied, way too over enthusiastic about the whole situation. "It's a great way to find your way around the manor”
"And it's a great family bonding experience too!" Another man in the room replied, even more enthusiastic than the first.
"Fine, I'll do it Jay" the blue-eyed girl huffed, twirling the blindfold between her fingers. "What are the rules again, Dick?"
Dick beamed at the girl before answering. "Well Mari, it's simple. Put the blindfold on, count to fifty, spin around and try to steal a hug from anyone in the manor"
"So I have to walk around the manor blindfolded and try to sneak up on you? You know that's impossible!" Marinette exclaimed, she would not go around the house looking like a touch-starved fool.
"That's exactly why we're doing it" Jason replied, shrugging his shoulders. "It'll last a long time."
After a few seconds, the blue-eyed girl sighed, giving in to both Jason and Dick. "Fine, if that's what makes you happy" Marinette wrapped the matte-black fabric tightly around her eyes, already struggling within the first few seconds. She began counting and she heard the two scuffling away, smiling while being able to tell which direction they went in. In the mean time, Marinette debated her options.
'Both Jason and Dick would be the ideal choices but they'll be able to hear me from a mile away. Tim would be the most logical one since he's half asleep, but where does he even go in this maze? God knows where Alfred is, Mr Wayne is scary. Damian-' She paused her train of thoughts, granted Marinette had only met him a few days ago but that didn't stop the crush she had heavily try to cease. 'He'd probably hear me from a mile away as well. This game is so unfair'
Soon enough, Marinette reached fifty and spun herself around, she used a bit too much force than needed so now not only was she blinded but she lost her sense of direction. Giving herself a minute to recover, the bluenette began to walk. Using her improved senses, thanks to the miraculous, Mari was slowly able to create a theoretical map in her mind, though it did take much more energy than she desired.
"Fighting an akuma is easier than this" The bluenette muttered as she hit her thigh along the corner of a wall.
Even though she was using her enhanced abilities, she'd pump into a corner or a wall every now and again, the amount of times increased when her energy was being used. After wondering a hall for what seemed like hours, the bluenette came to a staircase, one that she ever so carefully used to get to a higher floor. Once she did, she kept a hand on one of the walls, using it as a guide. Soon enough, her hand came to what felt like a doorframe. The door was closed she could tell but it was recent used due to the fact that the doorknob was warm. Making sure not to intrude, she knocked on said door, she almost missed the muffled 'come in' had she not been paying attention. Marinette opened the door, went in and quickly shut it behind her, taking a deep breath.
"Okay I hope you don't mind but which room is this and whose in the room? Dick and Jason thought it would be a good idea to walk around the manor blindfolded while trying to sneak up on them" The bluenette huffed, only to freeze when she heard a familiar chuckle.
"I've heard, you're in my room, It's Damian just to clarify" 'Sh-' "So, what task must be fulfilled to give you permission to take the blindfold off? I doubt you want to keep it on any longer" Marinette giggled.
"You're right, I would probably get lost of I continue. Um, I have to 'steal a hug' apparently"
"So you have to hug someone without them inspecting it" Damian came to that conclusion to which the bluenette nodded her head.
"Yeah that's basically it, hey do you have anywhere I could sit down? I'm getting tired..."
"Of course, my bed is five steps to your front and two steps to your right, make yourself comfortable" She wasn't sure how red she had gotten but she obliged anyway. Had she not been wearing the blindfold, she would've seen Damian smiling at her flustered state. Giving herself a moment to regain her energy, Marinette turned to where she presumed Damian was working at his desk. "Can I hug you? Jay never said I couldn't ask the person first. I-I won't if you don't want me to! I just wanted to ask so..."
She heard the boy thoughtfully hum before he made his way over to her. From what she could tell, Damian was now in front of Marinette, looming over her.
"Did Todd or Grayson say it had to be a hug?" Marinette tilted her head in confusion and thoughtfulness, that had never crossed her mind before.
"W-"
"What happens if I kiss you instead?"
The bluenette didn’t reply with words as she knew how terrible her words would be in her flustered state. But she wanted this, her heart longed for it in a way it never did for anyone else. Instead, she nodded, giving the green-eyed boy permission to do as he wished.
She felt his hand lightly tilt her chin up towards, where she presumed, his face was. Then he pressed his lips onto hers, his other had behind her head, tugging at the fabric around her eyes. Marinette felt bliss, she was glad that no one else would interrupt this moment. Shivers went down her spine as she felt Damian’s hands travel up from behind her neck and to wear the blindfold was knotted, gently tugging at the binding. She was glad that when her face was free from the fabric that comprised her vision, the first thing in her line of eyesight were Damian's deep emerald eyes, the shimmered the same way they had when she first laid eyes on him, she'd been enraptured ever since. The boy, however, was smirking as he noticed the pink that dusted her face. Without a moment passing, she threw herself the green-eyed boy, delivering a hug. As she pulled away, her hands cupped his face and she returned his embrace with one of her own. When she pulled away once more, she smiled in satisfaction at his flustered expression.
"When did you realise you had feelings for me?" Marinette asked softly, her forehead pressed against his trying to regain her breath.
"That's a very easy question" Damian stared lovingly into her eyes. "I fell the moment I saw you take down that Akuma three times your size" Her eyes widened.
"You know about me being Ladybug?"
"The same way you know I'm Robin"
They both smiled, creating a truce to not reveal anything.
"Well I better get going, see you later." She got up from the bed and opened the door, only to turn around and say "Je t'aime mon cœur" before exiting the room, leaving a blushing Damian.
Marinette walked back down the stairs, the piece of cloth in hand and small love-struck smile on her face. When she entered the main living room, she came face to face with the owner of the manor.
"Oh hello Mr Wayne"
"Hello Marinette, I see you managed to get the blindfold off" The older man gestured towards the piece of fabric in her hand. "And please, do call me Bruce. Who did you end up surprising with a hug then?"
She smiled brightly before replying. "Damian"
His usual formal demeanor broke for a moment but Bruce quickly picked the pieces back up. "He didn't attack you or injure you in any shape or form?"
Marinette decided to play the oblivious little girl. "No..? Why, does he do it often?" Her head titled in confusion.
"Nothing it doesn't matter" Bruce simply sighed and shook his head. "Also, there's something I'd like to discuss with you at dinner, if you don't mind"
"No not at all, I'll see you at dinner then?" Bruce nodded and left, leaving Marinette alone in the room, waiting for her honorary older brother and his brother to come in. Which they did but only after some time, it was hilarious to see them crouched down, talking to each other in hushed voices. They flinched as she cleared her throat, both slowly turning towards the sound to find a smug looking Marinette and a blindfold whipped around her finger.
"I win"
~~~
Most of the occupants at the table were either in an all out war or were about to be, except for Marinette and an exasperated Bruce Wayne.
"So Marinette" The eldest Wayne began, silencing the rest of the table. "I hope you don't mind me asking but when you were off searching for Jason, you mentioned attacks that have been occurring in Paris, is this true?"
No one failed to notice the girl flinch. "Yeah it's true"
"...how bad are the attacks? In your opinion"
"Well it depends on how strong the person's emotions are really. If their emotions are strong, then the Akuma is strong too"
"What's the strongest akuma that Paris has seen?" It was Tim who asked and memories of the event began swimming through her mind, she got rid of them with a shake of her head.
"The deadliest akuma Paris has experienced was an akuma called 'Syren'. She's a regular person but, as an akuma, she managed to kill around 2 million people. But don't worry! Ladybug's cure managed to bring them back to life"
"D-did... did you die, Pixie?" Jason asked, his anger mixed with worry was boiling over and luckily simmered after seeing her shake her head.
"Do you think the heroes of Paris would let heroes from the Justice League come over to help?"
Marinette contemplated for a moment, should she really risk the heroes getting akumatized? "I think they would but I wouldn't know"
Bruce nodded while Jason leaned over the table to talk closer to his honorary little-sister. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I didn't want to bother you"
"You're not a bother, Pixie" Jason smiled at the bluenette on the other side of the table. "You never are and you never will be"
~~~
Marinette returned to Paris a few days later, in the mean time, Bruce and the rest of the batfam were planning their visit to the City of Love. Soon enough, the vigilantes were boarded on the plane. Their flight to Paris was relatively silent. After a few hours, they landed and the vigilantes waited on the Eiffel Tower, only to find out there was a battle going on. Before they could engage in the fight, they were engulfed with magical ladybugs that seemed to fix anything destroyed. As they were mesmerized by the cure, a certain spotted-heroine wobbly landed on the platform. Batman was first to notice.
"Ladybug" His voice caused the others to turn around. "Thank you for allowing us into your city"
Ladybug nodded, not uttering a single word.
"We were hoping, with your permission of course, that we could help you be rid of Hawkmoth once and for good" Again, Ladybug didn't reply. "Ladybug?"
When the heroine didn't respond, Batman glanced at Nightwing and the rest of his sons, clearly something was wrong. Unexpectedly, Robin took his glove off, approached the Ladybug-themed hero and placed his hand onto her forehead.
"You have a fever" he stated, his hand trailing down her face to cup her cheek. His family all shot him weird looks. She tiredly blinked at the vigilante, recognising him as Robin and allowed herself to fall into his arms, detransforming while doing so, leaving a burning hot Marinette.
"Dami?" He hummed. "Take me home, please..." She drifted off to sleep, comforted in her lover's arms. He glanced at his family, holding the bluenette close.
"Pixie...is Ladybug?" Red Hood's voice was first.
"You didn't know?" Robin's voice mocking confusion, enraging Red Hood that his youngest brother knew something about his sister that he didn't. Even more so that his demon brother was holding said sister,
"We should take her back home" Dick went over to feel the girl's forehead. "She's burning"
"Tikki?" Robin asked and a red creature flew out from one of Mari's pockets, startling most of the people there.
"I'll try to heal her on the way, follow me"
The floating red creature flew down from the Eiffel Tower, Robin and Marinette close behind. After some hesitation, the others followed, they ended up on top of a bakery. One by one, they entered through the trapdoor on the balcony, finding both Damian with his mask off and a weak looking Marinette. Despite her enfeebled state, the bluenette greeted each vigilante, her gaze landed on Jason.
"It's just a fever, I'll be fine"
Jason removed his helmet and ran a hand through his hair before both settled on his hips. "You don't look fine"
"I promise I am" She wasn't convincing, not at all.
"Fine" Jason huffed, he could never truly say no to the girl he viewed as his little sister. "But since when were you two a thing" He pointed at the two, his gaze resting maliciously on Damian.
"It's all thanks to you, you know" Marinette smirked at Jason's confusion. Tim snickered as he seemed to catch on to what she was saying.
"Had you not organized that 'blindfolded game', I doubt we would be together at this moment" Damian supplied the information, clearly unfazed by the burning rage in the eyes of his older brother.
"Baby Bird's all grown up" The eldest Wayne son overdramatized wiping a fake tear, Batman sighed at his two eldest sons while pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Get your fucking hands off her, Demon Brat!" Jason tried to lunge at Damian, only to be stopped by both Dick and Tim. Though his fury only grew when Marinette snuggled closer to the green-eyed boy, both smirked in victory over Jason's horrified appearance.
Marinette was now part of the family in more ways than one. Though they wish they had found out in better circumstances, they would be able to take down Hawkmoth once and for all, side by side, all together. And to think this all happened because of a silly blindfold game.

Odd Hours//Getting Even
Pairing: Marcus Pike x Reader Rating: T Warnings: Cursing; Fluff; slow burn but not nearly as slow as my usual slow burns. Notes: This is uh... I don’t know, I’ve had the idea kicking around in my head for a while. Also please excuse the film trivia. I will take any excuse to talk about The Man Who Came to Dinner. I couldn’t decide on which title would suit better so I named it both. Not beta-read. Summary: You’d never spoken to the your new neighbor before, just traded friendly waves… At the oddest times. 
Tumblr media
Your new neighbor looked very put together all of the time. Well… The couple of times that you’d seen him in passing. He was always in a suit, his tie was always straight, and his hair was always coiffed so neatly. You just assumed that he looked that good all the time. You’d seen him with a beard once, and then the next time you’d seen him, he was clean-shaven. He was gorgeous both ways, but that beard… Fuck, it had looked good. You’d never spoken to the guy before, just traded friendly waves… At the oddest times.
-- The first time you spoke to him was evidence of that. It was almost three in the morning. You’d just gotten off of work at one of your jobs at a bar. You stifled a yawn as you stepped off of the elevator and fished into your pocket for your keys. You managed to dislodge something on your way, but you didn’t notice. At least, not until you heard: “You dropped this.” You turned to see your neighbor holding out the foldable reusable bag you tended to keep in your pocket. “Oh!” You reached out, smiling, “Thank you-- I didn’t even notice.” “Sure,” He nodded, “We haven’t met, I’m in 5B.” “5A,” You jerked your thumb over your shoulder to your door. “Marcus Pike,” He held his hand out to you, and you shook it, giving him your name. “Long night?” You asked, and he chuckled, nodding. “Very.” The two of you linger for a moment longer before you nod over your shoulder, “I’ve got a couple of hungry cats to get to, so.” “Right,” Marcus nodded. “Nice to meet you.” “You, too.” You ducked into your apartment, shutting and locking the door behind yourself. You flicked the living room light on and tossed your keys into the bowl beside the door. You stepped further inside, smiling at the sight of your two Siamese cats, Princess and Pyewacket. They lifted their heads from where they were both lounging on the couch. “I met our neighbor,” You told them. Pyewacket got up, stretching before jumping off of the couch and following you into the kitchen. “Yes, he seemed very nice,” You answered the cat’s unasked question as you reached down, scratching his chin above the black moon and star patterned collar he had on. Princess slinked into the kitchen behind him, a matching pink collar around her neck. “And hello to you, too,” You murmured, “Let’s get you fed.” -- The next run-in was almost two weeks later. It was nearly noon, and you were coming off of your other job at a bookstore nearby. You ran into Marcus as he was leaving his apartment, and your brows rose. “Hi there,” he greeted, smiling. “Hey,” You shift your bag on your shoulder as you twirl your keys around your finger. “How are the cats?” You laughed a little, nodding, “They’re good. I won’t say they were happy to see me, but I fed them, so they tolerated my existence for another day.” You eyed his pristine-as-usual-suit. “Heading to work?” “Yeah, just came off of a late night. I actually just kinda...Came back to shower and change,” He absently swept his hand over his tie. “Oh, yikes,” Your brow furrowed, “What do you do?” “I work for the FBI, International Art Theft.” Your brows rose. “Wow.” “Surprised?”
“A little,” You admitted as you walked to your door, “I had my money on your being a lawyer.”
“Really?”
You lean back against your door, waving at him, “It was the suits.” 
He chuckled, “I should get going-- as long as you don’t have any stolen art in there.”
“If I did, I wouldn’t tell you, now would I?” You teased, shooting him a wink, “Have a good day, Agent, and uh-- try to get some sleep at some point.”
--
It wasn’t every day that you got a knock on your door at two in the morning. Your hackles were immediately up, and you were quiet and careful as you crept toward your door. You peered through the peephole, frowning at the sight of Agent Pike-- And one of your cats. You hurriedly flicked your light on and opened the door. “Is, uh, this one of yours?”
“Pye,” You groaned, reaching out to take Pyewacket out of Marcus’ arms, “I’m sorry-- sometimes he slips out when I come in, and-- He’s such a weirdo, he always waits right out here.” You cuddled him close to your chest, smiling a little as Pyewacket pushed his head up against your chin. “Thank you,” You added, scratching Pye under the chin, “I hope he didn’t bug you.” “No, he was pretty friendly.” Your brows rose. That was rather unlike Pyewacket. “I’ll be honest, I was a little surprised to see you holding him-- Though that was more because, you know.” “It’s like two in the morning?” Marcus asked. You laughed, nodding. “Another late night for you, Agent?” “Slightly,” Marcus admitted before reaching out and scratching Pyewacket under the chin, “But I appreciated the welcoming committee.” You smiled, glancing down at the cat as Marcus’ fingers brushed yours. “Well, I’m glad Pye could be of assistance.” “‘Pye’?” Marcus repeated, leaning in your doorway, “Like the food?” “Oh, no. It’s short for Pyewacket,” You explained, shifting the cat in your arms. “Like in Bell, Book and Candle with uh-- Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart?” He asked. You blinked up at Marcus in surprise. “Uh… Yeah,” You nodded, and laughed, “Sorry, just-- Most people don’t know that.” “I’m a fan of classic movies. --Who’s this?” Marcus looked down.
You followed his gaze, laughing, “Someone that was feeling left out. That’s Princess,” You smiled. You took a little bit of a step back as Marcus crouched down to pet her. You were suddenly acutely aware that you were in your pajamas and Marcus was still very...very suited. You couldn’t help but grin as he cooed over Princess, though. “I’m not gonna lie, you strike me as a dog guy,” You admitted. “Oh,” Marcus scooped Princess up, cradling her against his chest, “I do like dogs, don’t get me wrong, but my grandmother had a cat-- big fluffy Persian named Chester.” You were quiet for a moment, watching Marcus and Princess before you glanced into your apartment. “Do um--” You hesitated, “Do you wanna come in for a drink or something?” Frankly, standing across from a cute guy as you each held one of your cats had to be the weirdest way you had ever asked a man into your place. But it wound up with you and Marcus on your couch with a beer each having a shockingly nice conversation. You didn’t keep him long - you could tell it had been a long night for him and you didn’t want to keep him late - not to mention you had come off of a shift at the bar and you were pretty tired yourself.
Pike was out of there by 2:45 (though you’d gotten his number in your phone and yours in his by 2:42). Pyewacket trotted after him to the door. Marcus gave him one last scratch under his chin, one last look at you before he murmured, “Goodnight.”
--
Smitten was not the word you would use.  It was what you were, but you wouldn’t admit it. Hell, you barely knew the guy, had only met him a couple of times. But he seemed sweet-- and your cats liked him, that was a good sign. 
You tried not to reflect on the fact that that thought made you sound like your Great-Aunt Cecily.
You held off on using Pike’s phone number for about two weeks. Then one night, around 10:30, in the middle of a William Powell marathon on TCM, Pyewacket jumped off of your couch and trotted over to the front door. You frowned, watching him and muttering, “What the fuck, dude?” before you heard the jingling of keys. You smiled when you realized why he’d gotten up - and went out on a limb as you pulled your phone out and texted Pike:
-Either you just got home or the ghosts in the hallway are bothering my cat again
You raised your phone, snapping a quick picture of Pyewacket at the door before sending it off. You glanced down at the lone messages in the chat before you closed it, tossing your phone onto the couch cushion beside you. It didn’t stay there long, though-- it buzzed a moment later.
5B: You’ve got a great alarm cat
5B: Just how often do the ghosts in the hallway bother Pyewacket?
5B: And how many ghosts are we talking?
-Like once a week, they’re very mean to him.
-And at least two ghosts, I’m convinced
You put your phone down, figuring that that would be the end of it. You were wrong. 5B: They bug Princess, too?
-Nope, they don’t dare. No one fucks with Princess
-How’s work?
5B: Busy.  -Long day?
5B: Excruciatingly
-Sorry 😞
You winced, resting your head on your hand and considering.  Why did you use an emoji? You raised your phone and snapped a picture of Princess where she was curled up on your lap.
-You could take Princess with you next time if it’ll help?
5B: Might take you up on that. I’d prefer not to be fucked with tomorrow
You smiled. -I’ll see what I can do about a leash
5B: Very kind of you
-Anytime
--
5B: Okay, I don’t wanna be weird, but I feel like almost every time I come in around dinner time, whatever you get or are making smells delicious
You looked down at your phone as it buzzed and chuckled, picking it up from where you’d left it on the counter. 
-Not weird. Not to brag but I’m kinda the slow-cooker queen
You glanced at the slow-cooker, and the timer reading fifteen minutes left on the food you were making. It was a large batch - you’d wanted to have enough so that you could bring lunch to work at the bookstore. But there was enough to spare. You hesitated before texting,
-Hungry? 
--
Marcus brought wine, and stayed for three hours. The two of you ate dinner, did the washing up, and wound up on your couch watching It Happened One Night. Conversation flowed over most of it - you’d both seen it several times. The movie gave the two of you the chance to watch and weave in and out of conversation and film trivia without pressure. Pye and Princess curled up on the couch between you like sleepy little chaperones.
By the time he left, the bottle of wine that he’d brought was empty, and he had cat hair all over his pant legs.
“Thanks for dinner,” He turned around to face you as he stopped in the hall.
“Sure,” You leaned in your doorway, tucking your hands into the pockets of your sweatpants.
“I’ll have to have you over sometime, make us even.”
Your stomach flipped at the offer and you nodded, “I’d like that.”
--
“What’s got you out so late?”
“Work.”
“I’m guessing it’s the bar and not the bookshop?” Marcus asked as he watched you slouch against the wall of the elevator. You smiled a little tiredly. “I see those sharp skills aren’t just reserved for art thieves, Agent Pike.” He chuckled as the two of you stepped off at your floor. “What about you?” You asked. “Grabbed drinks with the team after work. We closed a case.” “Congratulations,” You smiled, “What happened?”
“It’s a slightly long story,” Marcus shrugged, “...Would you like to come in and hear about it?” “Gimme half an hour to shower and feed the babies and I’ll be right over.” --  “...Shit.” “What?” You lifted your head from his shoulder. Considering the last two times Marcus had been to yours, you hadn’t had any reservations about going over to Marcus’ in your comfy clothes. You’d shuffled over in your slippers, and when Marcus had opened the door, you’d held up a bottle of white wine. He’d grinned and told you it would pair well with the grilled cheese he was planning on making for the two of you. Without the cats between you, you and Marcus had settled close together on the couch. As the late night wore into early morning, you’d wound up tucked into his side as you talked. “It’s almost four,” He chuckled, looking away from his watch. “Oh,” You yawned widely, “I should let you get to bed.” “I’m the boss, I can get in a little late.” You smiled, tipping your head up and finding him watching you. “You don’t seem the type to abuse that power,” You teased. “Long as it doesn’t become a habit.” “Mm-mm,” You shook your head a little bit and sat up, “I don’t wanna be a bad influence. I save that for Pye and Princess.” “Can I walk you home?” You laughed and nodded as you and Marcus got up from the couch. You missed the warmth of him as soon as you were up, and you were so tempted to turn back toward him and cuddle into his chest-- if only to warm back up. You chatted a little more on your way to the door, and you tried not to overthink the way Marcus put his hand on your lower back as he opened the door for you. -- “Can you recommend a good book?” You didn’t look away from what you’re shelving, but you couldn’t help the slight flurry of butterflies in your stomach at the question. “That depends on what you’re looking for.” “Oh...Maybe something on classic film.” “That’s gonna be two aisles that way,” You nodded over your shoulder, “Back wall.” “Could you show me?” “You really don’t have anything better to do today, Agent Pike?” You teased. There was a pause before you heard him drifting closer to you. He peered over your shoulder, his breath brushing against the shell of your ear as he murmured, “Well, I was hoping I could take you to lunch, if you’ve got time.” “You trying to even out our meal score?”
You glanced up as he leaned against the shelf beside you and met your eyes. “I’m trying to spend more time with you,” He admitted, “If you’re interested.” You lowered your eyes to the books you were shelving, unable to help the smile that grew on your lips at his bluntness. “I’m interested.” 
-- 
Lunch ended with plans for Marcus to come over after your shift at the bar the following night. He dropped you back off at the bookstore and left you with a kiss on the corner of your mouth that you thought about for the rest of your shift. --
TCM was airing a Bette Davis marathon. By the time you got home, it was nearly 10:30. You showered, neatened up the apartment, cleaned as much cat hair off of the couch as you possibly could, and told Princess and Pyewacket to behave themselves. Princess blinked at you; Pyewacket flicked his tail. You texted Marcus that he could come over whenever he was ready, and there was a knock on the door ten minutes later. Marcus looked cozy in a way you hadn’t seen before - sweatpants and a t-shirt that accentuated his broad shoulders and strong arms. You stepped back and nodded him in, and grinned as he crouched down, immediately scooping up Pyewacket as he came over. --
“You know, Bette Davis wanted John Barrymore to play Whiteside,” You were cuddled against Marcus’ chest; his arm was curled around your shoulders, fingers skimming along the strap of your tank top, “But he was drinking so heavily he couldn’t remember his lines. They wound up going with Monty Wooley-- he played Whiteside on Broadway, too.” “Really?” Marcus’ question was mumbled against your temple. You nodded a little. “Mhm. Cary Grant was set to play the role at one point, but Davis was so against it that he withdrew.” “Something tells me you like this movie.” You laughed, reaching out and absently picking off a piece of cat hair off of his sweatpants. When you’d disposed of it, you rested your hand on his knee lightly, giving him a chance to shake it off. Marcus just gave your shoulder a squeeze, and you gave his knee one in turn.
-- 
The two of you watched The Man Who Came to Dinner and All About Eve. “I’m worried that I’m setting a dangerous precedent for your sleep pattern,” You sighed as the credits rolled. It was almost half past three. “Mm, don’t worry about me,” He murmured, nuzzling into your neck. You closed your eyes, shivering a little bit. “...Do you wanna stay over?” You offered, raising your hand and lightly running your fingers along Marcus’ arm. “I’d like that.” You could hear the smile in his voice. “C’mon,” You urged, patting his thigh and standing. “Should we clean up?” Marcus stood with you, looking at the empty popcorn bowl and discarded cans of beer on the coffee table. “Nah, we can deal with it in the morning,” You took hold of his hand, leading him back to your room. Marcus glanced back toward your cats, to where Princess and Pyewacket were still settled on the couch. “Do the cats sleep with you?” He asked. “Sometimes.” “They gonna be mad if I shut your door?” “They’ll get over it.”
-- It was your alarm that woke you up. You leaned across Marcus, mumbling your ‘sorry’s and shutting it off. Once you did, you leaned back down, resting your head on his shoulder and closing your eyes again. You smiled as his arm curled around your waist. “You need to go?” He mumbled. “No, just-- Forgot I had it set.” “Good.” You smiled, turning your head and nuzzling against his shoulder. “You sleep okay?” “Mhm,” He hummed, sliding his thumb along the hem of your shirt, “You should stay over at mine next time.” “So we’re even?” You blinked up at him as his fingers curled under your jaw, tipping your head up to look at him. “Things aren’t always about getting even,” He smiled sleepily down at you. “What’s it about then?” “...Why’d you ask me to stay over?” You hesitated before you pushed yourself up to lean over him, “I thought you’d look good in my bed. And whaddaya know? I was right.” Marcus laughed, using the arm wrapped around you to draw you against his chest. “You know what I’ve been thinking about?” He asked. “Mm?” “Kissing you.” Heat curls in your stomach, tingling and pleasant. “Something stopping you?” You asked. The hand on your jaw slipped down to rest on the back of your neck. His eyes darted between your eyes and your lips for a few moments before he leaned up, brushing his lips against yours. You felt that spark grow in your stomach, and you dipped your head a little closer, chasing the chaste touch. You shifted, leaning more heavily against him and resting your hand on his chest, fingers curling in the fabric of his shirt, hooking in his collar. When he pulled you closer and turned, settling you down on your back, you went easily, letting your thighs splay so that he could lay between them. You moaned quietly as your kisses became warmer, more insistent. You wrapped an arm around Marcus’ shoulders, sighing as he slipped a hand under your shirt. And then you heard a yowl at your door. You groaned quietly, dropping your head back as Marcus laughed, resting his forehead against your neck. “I told them to behave,” You whined. “Don't blame them, this is on me. I should’ve kissed you last night,” Marcus murmured against your throat. You shivered, chuckling a little. “I should feed them before they do something rude like continue to yell... or throw up in your shoes.” “Would they do that?” “Oh, god yeah. I love Princess, but she’s an asshole.” --
You reached down, setting Pye’s food dish down for him and scratching him behind the ears as he began to eat. Princess was already halfway through her food. You glanced over at your phone as it buzzed on the counter and grinned when you saw who it was.
❤️5B: How’s unpacking?
-Nearly finished. A couple of boxes left. Pye was sleeping on a stack, so I couldn’t touch it.
❤️5B: No worries, baby. On my way home. Need anything?
-Cat food and popcorn. Humphrey Boggart marathon starts at 8
❤️5B: Takeout?
-Nope, got dinner covered. ❤️5B: You’re my favorite. -Don’t let Pyewacket hear you saying that. ❤️5B: Favorite human.
-Better. Btw some couple moved in across the hall. I think they have a dog?
❤️5B: I’ll make sure Pye doesn’t get out when I come in

In Full Bloom
Tumblr media
summary: Spencer goes to the flower shop 1 (one) time and falls in love somehow.
tw: mention of medication, Diana's care facility, Diana lashing out mention
word count: 3.9k
a/n: Alright y'all!!! It's finally here! My first ever fic :) I apologize if some of it is a bit clunky or awkward... this is my first time writing and posting anything like this. I hope y'all like this as much as I liked writing it! and this is a Spencer x POC!reader :)
It was early Saturday morning when y/n opened her shop. Unlocking the doors and stepping inside. It was raining pretty heavily, too. She closed her pastel pink umbrella and put it in the basket next to the door. She stopped to take a deep breath, she loved the smell of fresh flowers in the morning. She walked towards the back to turn on her fairy lights and low lighting for her plants and put on her pastel apron with embroidery on the trim. She turned the radio on to the oldies station and Etta James’ Stormy Weather was playing,
Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all of the time...
A perfect song for this morning. Singing to herself, she twirled as she moved towards her supplies, she got to work caring for her flowers and miscellaneous plants around her space.
⋆┈┈。゚❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ゚。┈┈⋆
A few hours later, a light ting of the bell above the door of the flower shop sounded. Y/n hadn’t looked up from the bonsai she was trimming, as she was too immersed in her work to realize someone had walked in. When she finally looked up, she was surprised to see a tall and handsome stranger staring back at her. In that instant, she felt her heart stop for an eternity. He stood there a bit awkwardly as he waited to be helped. Snapping out of the trance she had previously been in, she walked over to the counter where he was standing.
“Hey there! How can I help you today?”
Her face slightly flushed but it wasn’t so noticeable on her tawny brown skin.
“Hi, um, can you help me find some flowers for- for my mom?”
Y/n noticed that he says this a bit sheepishly, almost as if he’s embarrassed to be getting flowers for his mom. Or maybe he’s just awkward, who’s to say?
“Sure! Is there anything specific you’d like to say with this bouquet?”
“Um, yes...well I just wanted to let her know that I appreciate her and I love her very much. She hasn't been feeling well recently, so I wanted to do this small thing for her just to let her know I’ll always be here…”
Y/n smiled at that. It was always so nice to see a man value his mom so much. It warms her heart.
“Aww, well I'm so sorry that she hasn’t been feeling well. I think that's so sweet of you to do this for her. I get my mom flowers when she’s not feeling well too” y/n says with a smile.
“So,” she says, clapping her hands together softly, “I think the best flowers to get her would be Carnations, pink of course, and daisies!”
Y/n excitedly moves around the counter and beckons him to follow her. He does this with a small smile, admiring how animated she had become.
“Why those specific flowers?” he asks.
“Well,” Y/n started, “Did you know that Carnations symbolize the love for a mother as well as the phrase 'I will never forget you’ ” The daisies mean innocence, motherhood, and purity. That meaning stems from the old Celtic legend. In Norse mythology, it’s known as Freya’s sacred flower. Freya is the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, so it only makes sense that this would be her flower!” y/n continued excitedly.
The man nodded along in interest, all the while y/n was collecting and arranging the flowers in a lovely bouquet, putting them in a small and tasteful vase. She brought them over to the counter to ring him up, fixing the flowers as she went.
⋆┈┈。゚❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ゚。┈┈⋆
Spencer’s POV
While on my way to my mom’s care facility, I saw a quaint little flower shop at the corner of the intersection. I decided to stop in and get some flowers for her. She hasn’t been doing well recently… She’s been lashing out at the nurses and is almost always agitated. Hopefully, this small act will remind her of all the love there is in life.
As I pull into the parking lot of the shop I notice the sign, hand-painted with a unique border that reads Fantasy Flower Shoppe. The side of the building is covered with several winding paths of ivy, truly giving it a fairytale cottage feel. The railing up the steps to the entrance has the ivy as well, acting as a guide to the sage green door.
I stepped through the door, mesmerized at the inside of the shop. There were plants and flowers hanging from the ceiling, on wooden tables, in large pots on the ground, and even in a large misty cabinet on the east wall. A small record player radio hybrid was nestled in between a budding avocado tree and a pot of budding bluebells softly playing what I believe to be I’ve Got a Crush on You by Ella Fitzgerald…
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh
I’ve never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much emotion…
I looked around the room, searching for someone who could help me, that's when I laid eyes on the most beautiful girl in the world. She had dark, curly hair that fell to her shoulders wrapped in a cream-colored silk bandanna. She wore a cocoa brown dress with a beige long sleeve shirt underneath and an apron with what looks to be hand-embroidered flowers on the hem. I felt as though I was put under her spell as I gazed at her. She hadn’t looked up from her work, being so focused on trimming her bonsai, she hadn’t realized I had walked in.
I let my eyes linger on her a bit longer as I appreciated her focus. She must have felt my eyes on her, for she looked up and met my eyes. I quickly turned away, as to not make her feel uncomfortable, but also to hide the redness rising high on my cheeks. I suddenly realized what I came into the shop for in the first place.
“Hi, um, can you help me find some flowers for- for my mom?” I stuttered out, cursing myself internally for it.
She smiled sweetly and agreed to help me pick out the best flowers for her. She suggested I get Pink Carnations and daisies. I already knew that those would be the best choice, but I loved the sound of her voice. So as an excuse to continue to listen to her, I asked
“Why those specific flowers?”
I watched her eyes light up with a passion I never knew existed and proceeded to tell me the meanings and origins of both flowers.
“-so it only makes sense that this would be her flower!” she said
I nodded along in interest as if I didn’t already know the answer. She became so animated when she talked about the things she cares about. It was refreshing after being in the BAU for this long and witnessing so much hate and sorrow that came with the job. Seeing someone filled with passion and liveliness when it comes to making a career out of their hobbies was a wonderful thing. All this was not to say that I didn’t like being in the BAU. I wouldn’t be able to leave my family there, not now anyway.
Speaking of family, I need to go to the care facility before visiting hours are over.
⋆┈┈。゚❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ゚。┈┈⋆
Y/n POV
I set the flowers on the counter, tying a silk ribbon around the vase just to add a little flair.
“Alright! That’ll be $10.50.” I said with a smile.
I look up from the register to see him staring at me with a crooked smile. God, he was cute. I wish I was confident enough to ask for his number… Hopefully, I’ll see him again someday. After admiring his features for what seemed like a lifetime, I realized we’ve just been staring at each other since I looked up at him. I start to get a bit insecure. Why has he been staring so long? Is there something on my face? Oh my god is that pesky pimple back?
As y/n was internally freaking out, Spencer on the other hand was basking in her beauty. He couldn’t believe he was standing in the presence of such an ethereal being like her. Her… Oh god. He doesn’t even know her name.
“Um,” y/n stuttered, “Hello? Are you alright?” She lifted her hand to wave it in front of his face to get his attention.
“Oh! I- I- uhh, Sorry about that. I got a bit distracted…” Spencer stumbled over his words like a teenager in love. “What was the total again?” he asked embarrassedly, a blush rising from the bottom of his chest to the tip tops of his ears.
“Oh, um it was $10.50,” she repeated with a newfound shyness, tucking a stray curl behind her ear.
Spencer tried not to fumble with his wallet too severely in an effort to save himself any further embarrassment in front of the pretty florist. That plan failed miserably because as soon as he pulled out his cash, several coins flew out of his wallet. He muttered a quick ‘I’m so sorry as he bent down to get them.
What he didn’t notice was y/n bending down to help him. As she collected the few that fell over by the counter and he collected the ones on his side, they both stood up slightly too close together and headbutted each other. It wasn’t hard enough to leave a bruise or bump, but enough to send a shock through both of them.
Y/n stumbled hard enough from the collision and surprise that she almost toppled over. At the last second, the handsome stranger reached out and grabbed her hand, effectively steadying her.
Rubbing her forehead y/n said “I'm so sorry! Are you alright?”
Letting go of her hand, Spencer replied “Oh, no I’m sorry, I didn't even realize you were right there. Is your head ok?” He was genuinely worried if she was ok.
“Oh, I’m fine, no need to worry!” y/n giggled.
Spencer set the money on the counter and put his wallet away. Y/n rang him up and gave him his receipt.
“Oh, wait! Before you go, I wanted to ask if you wanted to add a small card or note…free of charge” y/n said, the last bit a little sheepishly because of what (she hoped) she was implying. Unfortunately for her, Spencer was very dense when it came to flirting, so he didn’t pick up what she meant.
“Really? Thank you…”
y/n grabbed a card with a pretty border and one of her fountain pens. She looked up at him and nodded, waiting for him to start speaking.
“Live the wonderful life that is in you. Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing. I love you, mom. Love, Spencer.”
y/n smiled at that. This was one of the sweetest bouquets she’s ever had the pleasure of putting together, too bad he’ll be gone before she knows it.
“Well Spencer, you're all set! Thank you for stopping in today, I hope to see you again soon,” she says with a smile. Although this encounter was fleeting, she was enamored with him.
“Thank you for all your help. I wouldn't have been able to do this,” he gestured to the vase full of flowers, “without you, um, I’m so sorry I never got your name...”
“Y/n,” she supplied. “and it's no problem! Stop in whenever you'd like!”
With that, he walked out with a small wave and a smile. Y/n sighed happily, knowing that the rest of her day was going to go very well.
⋆┈┈。゚❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ゚。┈┈⋆
Spencer’s POV
Once I left the shop and was on my way to the care facility, I realized I couldn't stop thinking about her. Like she put me under her spell as soon as I laid my eyes upon her. I want to see her again but it’s not like I get flowers all the time for people… Maybe I should do that, for the sake of the economy and helping out a small business. Also, it makes people feel appreciated, so what's not to like about getting and giving flowers?
By the time I decided that buying flowers for people would be my new gift-giving method, I had arrived at the care facility. I took a deep breath and exited the car. I was nervous to see what kind of day my mom was having. The last time I talked to her nurses, they said she wasn’t doing as well as they had hoped once they put her on new medication. I, of course, still wanted to visit her. She’s my mom, the person that has been there for me always.
After checking in and locating her I greeted her with a smile and a warm hug.
“Oh, Spencer! I’ve missed you so much! I have to tell you about this poem by Jane Austen I read the other day…”
“I can’t wait to hear it, mom.” He said. He was so glad she was having a good day. He wanted to tell her about y/n after she said her piece.
⋆┈┈。゚❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ゚。┈┈⋆
“ ...and that's why I can never read it again without thinking about Stevie Nicks!” exclaimed Diana.
Spencer was having such a nice time with his mom and he must have lost track of time because when he looked at his watch it was almost the end of visiting hours. It completely slipped his mind to tell his mom about the beautiful girl who runs the flower shop.
“Mom… Do you believe in love at first sight?” he asks, a little out of the blue considering the conversation they were having before.
“Well Spencer, that’s a pretty hard question to answer. I think it all depends on the other person's first impression that they may have had on you before even opening their mouth to speak. Though I’m not sure if I’ve ever experienced that feeling firsthand…” she answered honestly.
Spencer sat there contemplating the advice he was given and said
“I met this girl today… She owns the flower shop just a few minutes away from here. She helped me pick out the flowers I gave you. She was kind and so smart. She knew the meanings of the flowers off the top of her head like it was nothing. Her smile could light up any room and I could tell she was so passionate about her job. I would like to think she would be my first experience of love at first sight…” he rambled hoping he didn’t sound foolish.
Diana looked at him and shook her head lovingly.
“She sounds wonderful, Spencer. Please tell her thank you from me the next time you see her.”
And with that, visiting hours were over and it was time for him to head home.
⋆┈┈。゚❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ゚。┈┈⋆
The Next Day
The next day Spencer Reid walked into the bullpen with a smile on his face and a pep in his step. He was still a bit giddy from the encounter he had yesterday, playing it over and over in his mind. The perks of having an eidetic memory. Since he works with a bunch of profilers, they were able to analyze his cheerfulness and boil it down to-
“So who’s the special lady?” Derek asked as he walked up to Spencer’s desk with two mugs in his hand, one labeled ‘Spencer Reid’.
Spencer froze, trying to make up a lie to explain his cheerful mood. “I- uh, I was j-just visiting my mom yesterday and she was having a really good day. No other ‘ladies’ in my life, thank you” he said as he snatched his mug from Derek. Tasting it and mentally noting that it needed more sugar.
Derek looked at him and obviously wasn’t convinced, but he dropped it, for now, settling for “Alright pretty boy, if you say so…” he chuckled and walked away, leaving spencer glowing red at his desk.
He folded his arms on his desk and put his head between them to hide his blush. If the day kept going on like this, he might turn into a permanent tomato.
~
A few hours later, after finishing his paperwork for the case they had finished a few days ago, he headed to Penelope’s office just to visit. In all honesty, she was just as much his best friend as Derek, just in a different way. She always gave him some much-needed positivity in his everyday life, and he will always be forever grateful to her for that.
As she walked into her lair she turned in her swivel chair and greeted him with a happy smile.
“What's Cookin good-lookin?” she teased, hearing from Morgan that something was up with him.
“Ha ha very funny Garcia.” he joked with her internally cursing Morgan for spilling the non-existent beans.
“Sooo…. Who’s the lucky lady that has caught the eye of the wonderful Junior G-Man?” Garcia teased, yet genuinely curious.
“There’s no girl I swear!” he lied through his teeth, and pretty badly at that.
Penelope shot him a look that said “Do not lie to the omnipotent being that is moi, I know all”
Spencer sighed and sat in the other spinny chair in her office and said,
“Yesterday I went to the little flower shop near my moms care facility just to do something nice for her because she hasn't been doing well recently,”
Garcia frowned a little at that and put her hand on his knee, comforting touches are just her thing and he knows that, so he doesn’t push her away, he places his hand on top of hers. He knows how much he cares.
“It was beautiful n there, but what really caught my eye was the girl working there… She was beautiful. She was so kind and she was incredibly smart. Her eyes were like honey in the sun and I’m sure she’s artistic because the sign out front was hand-painted… but all that aside, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her.” he continued.
Garcia was practically vibrating in her seat with excitement as he finished. She was just so excited to see him happy.
“Spencer oh my god! She sounds perfect! You need to ask her out like today.” she said while turning to her computer. Spencer has a feeling of what her next question is so he says,
“No, Garcia, I will not tell you her name so you can do a deep dive on her life.” as he side-eyes her. Her face contorted into a pout at his words.
“But Spencer please~, “ she begs. “I can find out all her favorite places so you can take her there for your date!”
“No Garcia… I want to get to know her properly. No FBI intervention. Plus, I want her to take me to her favorite spots because she wants me to, not because I already know what she likes…” he states as he imagines what going on a coffee date with y/n would look like.
“Alright alright fine, but pinky promise that you’ll fill me in on all the details when you eventually take her on a date.” She said while holding her pinky out for him to accept.
“Deal.” he said as he locked pinkies with her.
⋆┈┈。゚❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ゚。┈┈⋆
As y/n went to start cleaning up for the evening, the light ting of the bell above the shop sounded once more. As tired as she is, she turns and slaps a happy smile on her face
“Hi welcome in! How can I help you today?”
As she turns she sees the handsome man from yesterday, Spencer, if she remembers correctly. He looks even more adorable than before with his sweater vest and all-star chucks. She smiles genuinely now, tucking her curls behind her ears in an attempt to seem more casual.
“Hi again… I um I needed to get some flowers for my friend. She just announced that she’s having another baby and I wanted to congratulate her with something other than future baby items because unfortunately, I have no idea what I would get for her if I went down that route…” he trailed off, stuffing his hands in his pockets and making the Awkward White Person smile, obviously nervous and giving himself away with the rambling.
Y/n was so excited at the news of a baby she immediately got to work.
“Oh my goodness how exciting! Does she know the gender yet?” she asked just so she can accurately style the bouquet.
“Yeah! She’s having a little boy.” He smiles at that and he visibly relaxes. Y/n takes that as a sign that he’s warming up to her a little.
~
After half an hour of picking out the perfect flowers and placing them into a large vase, y/n finally tied a blue silk ribbon around the neck of it. She added a few finishing touches and voila! Her masterpiece was complete.
All the while Spencer was standing on the other side of the counter watching her work with such adoration in his eyes. He enjoyed watching her work. Adding flair and certain specializations to every bouquet to make them each unique.
After finishing y/n peers to the side of the large vase of flowers to look at Spencer in the eyes. To her surprise, he’s already leaned over and looking at her too. They share a brief moment of admiration of each other before getting embarrassed and looking away like a couple of high school kids.
“So, since this is a gift for a friend, It’ll be on the house…” she says desperately hoping he’ll pick up on the hint this time.
“Oh my god...I - I can’t let you do that. Here,” he takes out his wallet and tries to pull out 35$ in cash.
y/n reaches over and puts her hands over his. “That’s not necessary, really. I don’t mind…” she says this with a warm smile. Just being able to spend these few fleeting moments with him in her shop has brought her so much joy.
“Thank you… That’s so generous of you, but I can’t just let you give me a whole flower arrangement without something in return…” he stalls. “Would you let me take you out for coffee? I know a great spot near the farmers market, and it has a flower booth too…” His hands are trembling a bit but she doesn’t notice because she’s smiling so hard her cheeks are beginning to feel sore.
She nods enthusiastically and says “Yes. Of course, I’ll go out with you.”
She slides him a piece of paper with her number on it and leans over to kiss him on the cheek. He accepts it and flushes so brightly, it rivals that of the sun. They wave goodbye after scheduling their date for Saturday, and y/n could tell that soon this relationship would be in full bloom.

Request: I saw this tattoo programme where 2 lesbian friends went on and they got to pick the other's tattoo and they can't look till it's done. One picked "you mean everything" for the friend and she was so worried about her seeing in case she hated it. Then hers (from her friend) was "I love you". This had them all emotional and got them both to confess & get together. Anywaaaay, a similar idea for Tyka?
Sorry for the late response! I’m working again and still recovering! This is the LAST FIC REQUEST of this askbox being open!
Soooo likkee. Once upon a time I talked to someone about a tattoo shop AU? This gave me some serious inspiration sooooooo here we gooooo
Halfway through I remembered! I (mentally?) based a lot of this idea on @ishkajules tattoo tyka shop AU!
Oh, disclaimer, I want a tattoo but know NOTHING about them aaaahhhahaha
“You’re a great artist, but you’re scaring away your clients.”
“Why do you care, Tala?”
“I don’t. They come to me after you reject them, or make them so uncomfortable they sit in the next chair over.”
“So then, why are you telling me this?”
Kai cleaned his equipment. It was nearing the end of the day, he figured he wouldn’t have any more walk-in customers.
“I just thought I’d let you know. You’re losing us money. If you don’t fix it, I’ll change your pay to commission only.”
Kai scowled. Who did he think he was? Threatening his pay like that?
“Like I said. You’re a phenomenal artist. But you're lucky I hired you. No one else will with your personality.”
Kai gave him a glare, “I’ll try to do better, boss.”
“Good. Keep that mouth in check.” Tala gave him a ‘I’m watching you’ gesture.
As soon as he turned away Kai rolled his eyes.
The bell in the shop rang.
“Hello! Welcome, how can we help you?” Tala welcomed the new customer with his regular fake friendly greeting.
“Hey... I’m Tyson.”
The kid seemed nervous. He didn’t have any art on his body.
Blank canvas.
“Um. Is Kai here?”
“Kai? Are you looking for him specifically?”
“Yeah! I follow his stuff on instagram and I really want my first tattoo to be done by him!”
The boy’s face brightened the whole shop. Kai’s lip curled.
“Of course! Let me get him for you!”
Tala made his way to Kai in the corner, he got up in his face.
“Listen, this kid’s a newbie—”
Kai rolled his eyes, “you know I don’t ink tattoo virgins—”
“Think of it as a blank canvas. As artists we all like a good canvas, look at him! He’s perfect!”
Kai took a look at this Tyson character. He hated to admit Tala was right. He was a good blank canvas. But Kai hated working with newbie clients; always so nervous, worried about the pain. He would just rather work with a regular.
Tala got angrier, “you will tattoo him. You’ll do exactly what he wants, and above all, you will be nice.”
“Or else what?”
Tala shrugged his shoulders and smiled, “or else you’re fired.”
Kai didn’t want to admit that Tala's threat got to him. He sighed, played off as if he was slightly annoyed but obedient, “fine.”
“Good. Now go do your job.” Tala pointed to the front desk where the new client was waiting.
Kai shot Tala a glare, as he made his way to the desk. He put on his biggest fakest smile.
“Hey, I’m Kai.”
Tyson held a backpack around his shoulder, he grasped it firmly, while giving Kai the widest grin.
“I’ve been following you for a long time! I um… decided when I had enough money I wanted my first tattoo to be done by you…”
Awkward silence.
“Uh, what do you have in mind?” Kai learned how much it hurt when you kept smiling.
“I know you specialize in birds… I would love to have a red phoenix. Eventually I want a dragon. But I’d love to start with your strongest area!”
“Okay. Sounds like a plan.”
Tyson watched Kai like he was a celebrity. He had a popular art account, but that was about it. Kai just stared back at him.
“Um... I think I want it on my back…” Tyson trailed off as he grew more nervous.
“That’s a good choice. Do any designs come to mind?”
Tyson bit his lip, he looked up to the ceiling in thought, “oh!” He pulled out his phone.
He passed it to Kai showing him an old post of his. It wasn’t his best work, but he understood why he liked it.
“I can do that design easily.” Kai wondered why he was so worried—”
“I just… Don’t want it exactly like this.”
Ah right. Newbies.
“So what do you have in mind then?” Kai’s eyebrow twitched.
“I um.” Tyson rubbed the back of his head as his cheeks turned a bit red.
Kai sighed, “kid, I can’t work on you if I don’t know what I’m doing.”
Tala called to Kai, “Hey Kai! Don’t forget about your happy little tattoo gun over here!”
Kai reluctantly put on his big smile, “yeah boss, I haven't forgotten!”
He turned back to Tyson. “So what are your ideas?”
Tyson bit his lip.
“Do you have a reference I can make a design off of? Anything?”
“I… do.”
“Then show it to me.”
Tyson exhaled, then slid his backpack off his shoulder. He opened it and pulled out a sketchbook. He had it turned away from Kai making sure he wouldn’t see. He flipped through a few pages, and turned it towards Kai.
Kai grabbed it, and placed it down on the counter. He saw the sketch of the phoenix that was clearly an imitation of his style… with a twist.
Kai found himself impressed. It was a good design.
“I’ve worked on this for a few months… I’m pretty confident this is what I want… What do you think of it?”
Kai was trying to be extra nice, but he couldn't deny it was good. “It’s well done.”
“Thanks!” Tyson grinned.
The more Kai inspected the drawing the more detailed it became, it gave him new inspiration, a kind he never had before.
“Do you..” Kai cleared his throat and prodded the page with his finger. “Do you want this exact design or a design done by me?”
Tyson looked ecstatic, “would you be willing to make me an original design!?”
Kai thought for a moment. His original designs were usually reserved for regulars or people willing to drop more cash. But something about this design called to him…
He convinced himself he was inspired by his jealousy. He couldn't let this poor imitation see the world.
“I can make you a design based on this one.”
“Really!? Wow, thanks!”
“Can I borrow this sketch book?” Kai asked, while flipping the book closed.
“Um…”
“I need the design.”
“Could you take a picture?”
“I’d prefer to work with the original.” Kai’s lips hurt from smiling.
“Okay… You can borrow it.” It seemed Tyson was an extremely shy guy. “Be careful with it, okay?”
“I will.”
Kai stayed late in the shop. He worked in the studio.
“I’m locking up. Kai, I’m surprised you're still here?” Tala twirled the keys around his finger.
Kai was hunched over the small desk. He had already drawn out a few sketches. Tala inspected his work over his shoulder.
“Can you not?” Kai spat back.
“It’s a good design. I’m surprised you're putting so much effort into this kid's request. It’s not like you.”
Kai shrugged.
“He’s not loaded, you know? You’re not going to make up for it in tips.”
“I know.”
Tala felt a strange proud emotion emerge. “Alright,” he dropped the keys on the desk. “You can lock up. Have fun with your drawings.”
Kai watched the keys as they fell in front of him. He heard the door open, and close.
He sighed, then scrunched up the paper he was working with into a ball, and tossed it into the bin with the rest of the failed projects.
The sketchbook laid in front of him. He wanted to take a look at the design again. But he had lost the bookmark.
Shit.
He had to look through the book to find the right page.
There better not be anything dirty in here…
He opened it to another design.
Oh, wow.
It was a dragon, scribbled with faint watercolour. Kai grew curious, what other masterpieces did this book hold?
He began to flip through, curiously studying each design.
There were tons of dragons. Kai was interested, as he had always wanted a dragon tattoo, but he hadn’t yet met an artist who could ink scales the way he wanted.
These designs were so close to what he wanted, until—
He turned to a page with a very detailed dragon design. It took up the whole page. The colours were perfect, mixes of blues and silver. He was immediately captivated by it. His mouth hung open slightly.
It had been a long time since an art piece caught his attention.
He ran his finger down the page, careful not to smudge the drawing.
“Wow.”
Two days later Tyson came back to the shop, eagerly awaiting his tattoo.
Tala gestures to Kai from across the shop, pointing to the front desk where Tyson had just entered. He mouthed the words ‘be nice!’. Kai looked to the ceiling to stop himself from rolling his eyes.
Kai got up from his station. The night before he had pulled an all-nighter. Until finally—he came out with the perfect piece. He knew Tyson would love it. He was upset with himself for putting so much thought into it, after all, he was just a newbie.
Kai tossed a black file folder on the desk.
Tyson jumped a bit, then settled back in with his backpack on his shoulder, “good morning, Kai!”
Kai put on a smile, “good morning.”
Tyson tilted his head, it was kind of cute, “did you manage to come up with anything? I know it hasn’t been long—”
“I did, I think you’ll enjoy it.” Kai opened the folder and revealed a paper, he placed it on the desk and flipped it around to show the blue-haired boy.
“Woah! Holy shit that’s so cool!” Tyson placed both his hands on the corners, admired it with an open mouth.
“Is it what you wanted?” Kai accidentally let his smile drop as he awaited the response.
“It’s perfect!” Tyson was so happy you could see his dimples.
It made Kai perform… maybe… a real smile.
“I have a test here, do you want to see what it would look like?”
“Can I? Oh man that’s so fucking cool…”
Kai gestured behind the desk, Tyson happily pushed himself through the gate. Kai pointed to his station “that’s my chair, put your stuff anywhere out of my way. Take your shirt off.”
Tyson suddenly stopped smiling and froze, Kai almost ran into him.
“Hey!” Kai started to lose his temper, but saw Tala’s red hair in the corner of his eye, he took a deep breath. “You said you wanted it on your back didn’t you?”
“Yeah…” Tyson answered back nervously.
Kai dropped the folder on his desk near the chair, “then take off your shirt and lay on your stomach.”
Tyson swallowed a hard lump in his throat.
Kai just stared at him.
Newbies. It’s just some skin. So annoying.
Tyson let his bag slide to the floor, he kicked it to the corner of the room, then he folded his arms.
Kai turned around, ready to place the stencil, then he frowned, “why do you still have your shirt on?”
Tyson went to say something, but stopped.
Kai sighed, “it’s just bare skin. I’ve worked on way more intimate body parts. You have nothing to worry about.”
Tyson shrugged, he acted confident but Kai could tell he was nervous. He grasped the ends of his shirt and rolled it over his head, throwing it on top of his bag.
“Now lay down.” Kai gestured to the chair that was horizontal from the last client.
Tyon nodded, and laid down in front of Kai, “is it going to hurt!?”
Kai closed his eyes for a moment, it took everything in him to not retort with sass, “it’s just a sticker, so we can determine the placement. It won’t hurt.”
Tyson nodded.
Kai flicked his arm, “you need to have your arms near your sides… like this.”
Kai had grabbed his closest arm and manipulated it like a rag doll, Tyson hid his face, hoping his idol didn’t see him blush.
“Okay, I’m applying it now.”
Kai expertly placed the test paper exactly where Tyson had described he wanted it. Along his right shoulder. Tyson barely moved, but Kai wasn’t sure how he would react when the actual inking started.
“Done. Take a look in the mirror.”
Tyson jumped up, nearly running to the full length mirror in the shop, twirling his body so he could see it better.
“Wow! It’s so cool!” His voice rang through the whole shop, even Tala’s client looked up from his chair.
“Thank you, Kai!”
“No problem.” Kai sat down in his chair, he picked up his tattoo gun and started to tinker with it, he looked at Tyson. “So are you ready?”
Tyson’s eyes grew wide, “r—right now!?”
Kai gave him a genuine grin, “no better time than the present.”
Tyson made his way back to Kai’s station. He looked down at the chair, “is it going to take a while?”
Kai nodded, “I’ll do the outline today. Then you can come back tomorrow and we will ink as much as we can.”
Tyson sat on the chair, still too nervous to lay down.
“Hey kid!”
Tyson looked around the shop for the echoing voice.
It came from the client on Tala’s chair. He was covered in different tattoos, “don’t be worried! But remember it's addicting! Once you get one you can’t stop!”
Tyson laughed, “thanks man!”
The man gave Tyson a thumbs up, Tala smirked in Kai’s direction.
He must enjoy torturing me… asshole.
Tyson gave Kai a huge smile, “I’m ready!”
“Good.” Kai had reached over to his station, he placed a pair of glasses on his face.
“You wear glasses!?” Tyson was intrigued.
“Yeah? Why is that surprising?” Kai wondered why Tyson cared so much, they just met after all.
Tyson mumbled, “you just… never shared anything on your instagram I guess…”
“There’s more to me than my online persona. Get on your stomach.”
Tyson instantly obeyed. He curled in his fists.
Kai made the necessary procedures, he wiped his back with a sterile wipe, Tyson shivered.
Kai had to bite his tongue from sighing.
“Sorry… it was cold.” Tyson muttered.
“It’s fine, don’t worry.” Kai tried to reassure him but realized he had never really reassured anyone before.
Kai prepared the gun, Tyson turned his head to him, “how much… is it going to hurt?”
God damn it. Why do they always ask...
“Not as much as you’re going to love it.”
Kai impressed himself with his response.
Tyson nodded, and turned his head away from Kai.
“Alright, I’m starting.”
Kai had done it a million times before, but it was Tyson’s first. When the gun first ran along his skin he tensed up, he made a quiet high pitched noise. Kai kept going.
He kept tensing up, too much, it would ruin the work, and Kai’s concentration. Kai stopped for a moment, “you have to untense. It hurts now but it’ll go numb soon, then it won’t be so bad.”
Kai just saw the back of Tyson’s head as he nodded.
Kai grasped his shoulder, “good, now untense.”
Tyson tried to loosen up, but his muscles were still tight.
“Breathe.”
Kai wasn’t sure what to do, but he still had his hand on his shoulder, he gave Tyson a gentle rub with the edge of his thumb.
He heard Tyson exhale, and his whole body relaxed.
“Good job.” Kai readjusted his glasses, and continued. He was leaning over Tyson’s body.
Tyson was aware just how close his idol was, he could feel his breathing as he worked. His face turned red. Over the next hour he grew used to it. He was loving the closeness. He was excited to see what it looked like done.
Tala was surprised, usually Kai put his earbuds in and avoided talking to clients. But this time, Kai kept glancing at Tyson’s hair, as if he wanted to say something, but was stalling. At just over the hour mark, Kai made his move.
“I have to admit. I looked through your sketchbook.”
Tyson jumped, “what?”
“Don’t move—”
“Sorry, but why did you do that?”
“I lost the page the design was on. Then I just kept looking.”
Tyson went silent, clearly he was upset.
Kai stopped for a second, “they’re really good.” he immediately started again.
Tyson went stone cold.
Kai continued, “your dragons are insanely intricate. I’ve never seen scale work like yours. Are they all original?”
Tyson hesitated, “yes…”
“I’m quite fond of the silver-blue dragon, the one near the end.”
“I know which one you’re talking about. It’s one of my favourites too.”
“Mhm.” Kai trailed off, still not ready to ask the question he wanted to.
A few hours later, Kai stopped, “I think that’s good for today.”
Kai put his equipment down, and laid his glasses back on his desk.
Tyson went to get up, “ow…”
“Sore?”
“Yeah, I’ve been in this position too long…”
Tyson slowly rose to a sitting position. Kai admired his shoulder.
It’s great work. I did well.
“I want to see it!” Tyson jumped to his feet making his way to the mirror. He looked in the mirror and gasped in awe.
Tala had approached, he observed the design and raised an eyebrow, “it’s really good, Kai.”
Kai crossed his arms, “come back tomorrow. I’ll colour it. But it will be a bit of work.”
Tala agreed, “it might be best to split the coloring into two appointments. Since it’s his first… How was it, Tyson?”
Tyson was still admiring his tattoo, “the pain? It was fine once I got used to it, Kai really helped.”
“Really!?” Tala looked at Kai in disbelief.
Kai shot him a glare.
Tyson put his shirt back on while Tala described how to take care of it. They made their way to the front desk and finished off some paperwork.
Tala had gone back to his desk, still within earshot.
“Thanks so much. Kai! It’s going to be awesome!” Tyson grinned, “but um… can I have my sketchbook back?”
Kai nodded, then went back to his station, and came back with the book, he slid it across the table, but held on to it when Tyson tried to take it.
Kai didn’t let go of the book, he looked into Tyson’s eyes, with his first genuine expression, “I have a question. About your design.”
“Huh?” Tyson looked up to Kai. He was positive there was nothing he could ask that he wouldn’t know himself.
“I want to buy it.”
“What?” Tyson’s voice rang with disbelief.
“Well, I don’t want to buy the rights. Just the design, so I can have it tattooed.”
“You want my design!?”
“Yes, is that a problem?”
Tala’s ear twitched, the situation tickled his interest, and he made his way back to the counter.
“I uh—um.” Tyson was lost for words.
“How much?” Kai badgered him.
Tala intervened, “Kai leave the poor kid alone, let him think on it.”
Kai looked at Tyson, Tyson stared back.
Tyson let go of the book, “keep the book till tomorrow… I’ll think about what you said…”
Tyson backed up towards the door, “b—bye! See you tomorrow!”
He had left the shop faster than either of them could say bye.
Kai still held the sketchbook, he looked down at it. Tala was immediately furious.
“Kai Hiwatari, what the hell!? Are you an ass or head over heels? You’re going to bully some rookie artist into stealing his design? What is wrong with you—”
Kai had opened the book to his favourite page. Tala’s voice changed right away.
“Shit.”
Kai held the open book close to his chest, “I know. It’s well done.”
“You’re not kidding, here let me see—”
Kai handed him the book. Tala admired the drawing for a long time. Before flipping through the book. He let out a long high pitched whistle.
“Could you do it?” Kai asked.
“Do what?”
“Could you tattoo this for me? I want it on my right shoulder—”
Tala laughed, “no. My specialty lies in fangs and fur. I’ve never done a dragon, plus these scales… this could only be done by the original artist.”
Tala looked up from the book, “if you love this design, it has to be done by the original artist. Does he know how to use a gun?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Ah, shame.”
“How come?”
Tala went back to flipping through pages, “because I'd hire him on the spot.”
Kai was dumbfounded, “for real?”
“Absolutely.”

“I just don’t see the point in it,” you explained to Alicia, feeling her confused eyes pouring into the side of your face, “make’s me feel weird.”
“You just aren’t doing it right!” she replied, her eyebrows raised in disbelief.
You shoveled a forkful of eggs into your mouth, rolling your eyes as you chewed.
“Maybe,” you replied, covering your mouth full of food with the back of your hand.
“Hello ladies,” Fred said as he slid into the bench across from you.
“What’cha gabbing about?” George said, sliding a piece of toast off your plate as he sat next to you.
You moved to stab your fork into his hand, but missed, instead spiking the toast. Fred’s eyes widened, nearly seeing his brother lose a finger.
“Nice aim,” he said, filling his own plate.
“Was going for the hand,” you said, collecting the toast and lathering it with jam.
George wrapped his arm around your shoulder, unfazed by your attempted assault. 
“Y/n refuses to join us when we get ready for the Yule ball,” Alicia said, also ignoring your failed stabbing. 
Fred feigned a hand over his forehead, leaning back dramatically, “How will you ever form an unbreakable bond? Without the sanctity of Yule Ball preparations, you will have nothing that ties you together well past your prime,” he spouted, not stopping even after Alicia slapped his shoulder, “you will drift apart, knowing nothing of each other.”
George quickly removed his arm from your shoulder and dramatically clapped at his brother, who only pretended to remove and tip a hat to him.
“Why don’t you want to get ready with the girls?” George asked once Fred calmed down.
“I’ll come, I just don’t have much getting ready to do,” you said plainly, “just puttin’ on a dress.”
“Not even some mascara?” Alicia pleaded, her eyebrows raised to her hairline.
“I suppose I could let you put some mascara on me,” you said, and Alicia pretended to faint into Fred, “some!”
Fred laughed, and you got an eyeful of chewed toast in his mouth. You looked away in disgust, catching George’s eyes. He looked at you odd, like he was at incredible peace. 
“Everyone’s gone mad today,” you mumbled, finishing your breakfast.
You had written home about the Ball, and your mother had sent you an incredible array of magazines to choose a dress from. You had to admit, the dress was awfully pretty.
Going to Quidditch practice, doing homework, eating, sleeping, and keeping up with romance do’s and don’t’s was becoming exhausting. Luckily, you could merge some of the activities together, like homework and eating, and keeping up with romance and Quidditch.
Alicia and Katie loved to talk anything and everything that involved the Yule Ball. If you breathed and it sounded like ‘yule’ they would talk your ear off. Katie had even asked Wood about the ball.
“Well, Oliver,” she started, wiping off some sweat from her forehead, “if you don’t have a date you could join our group.”
You Alicia, Katie, George, and Lee had decided to go as a group, not bothering with the stress of getting dates. You all knew that no matter who you took, you’d just end up ditching them to dance with your friends. Fred and Angelina were a different story. 
Fred had been sending Angelina all sorts of mixed signals since he asked her. One day, he’s asking what color her dress is so they can match, and the next he’s telling her that in his opinion, dances are the most stupid thing a man could succumb himself to. It made you glad to be going with friends.
“I don’t know, Katie,” Oliver scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, “I was going to run Quidditch plays on the empty field that night.”
Katie rolled her eyes and they landed on you. You felt a blush creep up your neck as she brought you some water.
“Hey, Katie,” you said, taking the water from her.
“Hey,” she said, smiling quizzically at you, “Alicia told me you weren’t all that excited about the ball.”
This surprised you. You hadn’t meant to come off as bitter, you just felt you were expressing your genuine disinterest.
“It’s not that,” you said quickly, “It’s just, not really my thing I guess.”
Katie nodded knowingly at you, like you had just hinted at some sort of huge secret. It made you nervous. You two were stood by the water cooler, and Fred, George, and Harry had come over.
“What?” you asked her.
“I think,” she said dramatically, “that the boy you like hasn’t asked you, and you aren’t excited because you don’t have a date.”
You thought she was joking, but she didn’t laugh. You blinked at her for several minutes, the gears in your head turning so fast that you couldn’t think whether to be concerned for Katie’s well-being, or your own. Among your deep thoughts, Fred laughed obnoxiously. George swallowed nervously.
“Katie,” you said slowly, “are you serious? Do you actually think that?”
She nodded excitedly, thinking you were going to uncover your deepest and darkest secrets. 
“Oh Merlin,” your eyes widened, “you could not be more wrong.”
You left her with her mouth hanging open as you kicked off the ground and back into practice. 
The next week, McGonagall called the entire house for a meeting. She and Filch stood next to an ancient looking record player. She explained the sacred meanings of the Yule Ball, but all you could hear was Fred and George’s snickering in your ear.
“Do you think McGonagall would dance with me if I asked nicely?” one of them said.
“I reckon you’d have to take her to dinner first, mate, she’s a classy lady.” the other replied.
Soon enough, McGonagall was sending you off to pair with each other, and you looked around. George was already looking at you, so you took a step towards him.
“Dance with me,” you held your hand out, “Weasley.”
“I’d love to,” he said, taking your hand.
His hand fell naturally on your hip, and it made your chest tighten. Your hands eased into the crook of his neck, and he swallowed hard.
You swayed to the old music, neither of you meeting the other’s eye.
Your dress was sent to you in a large cardboard box that sat unopened in the corner of your dormitory. It was propped against your mirror, and stayed there until the night of the Yule Ball. 
“Oh!” Alicia exclaimed, clasping her hands together, “I can’t wait to see it!”
You rolled your eyes as you stepped into the bathroom, bringing the dress with you. You opened it slowly, and the delicate fabric of the dress was peaking out before you had even removed all the tape. It smelled of home, and your heart soared. The fabric danced through your fingers, sliding elegantly over your figure. Looking in the mirror, you slid your hands down your sides feeling awfully impressed by yourself. 
You looked at the mounds of makeup on the counter in front of you, and picked some up like they were dangerous. Holding them away from your dress, you squinted your eyes to read the tiny labels. Deciding on a few, you looked intensely into the mirror, your face creased with concentration. You covered the eye-bags you had developed while studying for tests. You put some pink powder on your cheeks like you had seen your mother do. Lengthening your lashes with some odd dark goo, and styling down your eyebrows with some odd clear goo.
When you opened the bathroom door, Alicia was still stood with her hands clasped. All the girls were standing in their elegant gowns, hair and makeup done absolutely perfectly. 
“Oh no,” Katie gasped, looking at you in horror.
The three of them all steered your shoulders back into the bathroom, and you looked at yourself next to them. You looked like a clown! The pink powder was in little circles on the sides of your faces, and nothing about your makeup looked as nice as the other girls. 
Katie saw your face lowering with sadness and brought your eyes to her’s.
“We can fix this,” she smiled reassuringly at you, “easy.”
She held her wand to your face, and you flinched as you felt a refreshing wind gust over it. Your face felt clean, and you moved your hands to touch it. You felt no pink powder or any goos.
Katie turned you to face Alicia, who had her wand ready.
“It really is a beautiful dress,” she said, her wand twirling as you felt little tickles on your face.
You turned to look in the mirror and felt your stomach spin.
You looked amazing, everything about the makeup was flattering, but not over the top. They had known exactly what you wanted.
You pulled them all into you, your arms stretching to wrap around them all. You all joyously walked down to the great hall, each of you clutching the sides of your dresses as you walked down the stairs. 
By the time you had made it to where you were meeting the boys, just in front of the Great Hall, you had fallen behind the girls, not used to walking in heals. They were all looking up at you as you came down.
Lee and Fred looked like they were seeing you for the first time, their mouths hung open in childish smiles, Angelina, Katie, and Alicia looked like proud stage mother’s. 
When your eyes met George, there was an intensity you had never felt before. Standing in front of him, still on the steps so you were eye level, it was like he was the only person there. His black and white dress robes fit him perfectly, and his red hair blazed as it hung in his face. His lips were pink and he kept licking them nervously. He offered you his elbow and you accepted, following your friends into the Ball. 
“You look stunning,” he whispered int your ear.
The music was loud and your dress was awkward to dance in. George leaned in close to your face whenever he had a sarcastic remark to make, and half the time you couldn’t make out what he was saying. Your brain was scrambled from the heat and the proximity of his face to yours.
“I’m gonna go get some air,” you yelled into his ear. 
Pulling away, he gripped your arms, pulling you back so he could yell something. His voice was like honey and it shot jolts down your spin.
“Want me to come with?”
You smiled and nodded your head, and he looked giddy,
He trailed after you like a puppy, careful not to step on the back of your dress.
You didn’t stop walking until you had landed on a bench in the courtyard. You held your dress close to you so George could sit without landing on it. He crossed his legs at his ankles and shoved his hands in his pockets. You picked up your hair off your hot skin, holding it as if it were a ponytail. George’s gaze fell onto the exposed and shiny skin of your back, and he gulped.
Your head tilted up at the sky, and you closed your eyes, relishing in the feeling of the cold breeze on your sweaty skin.
“Are you having fun?” George asked you.
“With you?”
“Yeah, with me.”
“I am,” you responded, dropping your hair and looking at him.
He was already looking at you, like he so often was, and as you watched his eyes drift down to your lips, you realized Katie was right.
You didn’t want anything to do with this ball if George wasn’t with you, hell you didn’t want anything to do with life if George wasn’t with you. 
You were being a sour-sport because deep down, you knew you had wanted George to ask you to the ball.
“George?” you said, and his eyes didn’t leave your lips.
“Yeah?”
“Why didn’t you ask me to the ball?”
At this, George’s eyes met yours and he wiped his face, as if he were in a dream and imagined you had said that.
“What?”
“Why didn’t you ask me?”
“I hadn’t realized,” he turned to look at his feet, “I just figured, you never seemed like you were that excited.”
“But you wanted to come with me?”
“Yes,” he answered quickly, not having to think about it.
“George,” you asked, and he turned to face you, “do you want to go to the Yule Ball with me?”
Both of your mouths turned into wicked grins, and he nodded furiously. He stood up quickly and offered you his hand.

sk8 au week - day 2: royalty and soulmate
reki kyan was nearing his eighteenth birthday and he had yet to meet his soulmate. reki has heard the whispers of the people in the town about people who don’t find their soulmates. it’s not that he didn’t have one -he did, for your information, thank you very much- but because reki was from a royal family, and therefore a prince, he was to be married off and did not have the luxury of being with his soulmate. unless his soulmate was from another royal family, but reki had seen where his red string lead: straight into the center of the town below. so no such luck for another noble as his soulmate.
reki’s mother had tried to let him build friendships and hopefully relationships with the other royal children around his age, but reki had dreams about meeting his soulmate and never developed anything more than friendship with the other royals.
reki stared at his red string, eyes tracing its path down into the village, hoping to catch a glimpse of someone. sometimes when he sleep he caught glimpses of a tall, pale, slender figure and bright blue eyes. reki wondered what those eyes would look like mere inches from his own.
suddenly a book smacked into the back of reki’s head, startling him from his daydream.
“what the fuck-“ reki’s head whipped around.
“hey there slime.” said a voice.
reki groaned at the sight of the boy sitting atop his desk.
“hello miya.” he grumbled.
“what’re you looking at?” the young prince asked, a catlike smirk breaking out on his face.
“nothing,” reki said pushing himself up and walking over to miya.
“so is your mom still making you meet that prince for dinner tonight?” miya hummed as he twirled a pen in his hands.
reki’s mother was much more kind with her son and his romantic predicament, compared to reki’s father who was ready to marry his son off without a meeting between the spouses. but after his father ran away with the sevrant girl he impregnated no one stuck to his old rules.
“yes, but i have a plan to escape and i need your help.” reki said placing his hands on miya’s shoulders.
“i’m all ears,” miya said leaning forward as if reki’s mother was outside the door and eavesdropping this very moment.
“ok so i need you to mix up joe and shadow’s schedules so they’re both in the great hall at the same time. we cant have a fancy dinner set up if the cook and florist are in there at the same time now can we?”
“i like what i’m hearing.”
“and then i need you and koyomi to either distract the stable hand while i sneak through the barn.”
“done. is that all you need?”
“yep. the rest is up to me. joe accidentally let it slip that his soulmate is the craftsman in town and that he sneaks out at the exit behind the greenhouses to meet him. so thanks to joe i’ve got my escape route all planned.”
“well look at this, prince reki ditching the feast planned just for him. who would have thought?” miya asked with a laugh.
“well after how the last dinner ended it’s not that surprising.” reki said with a shudder as he remembered the glazed goat falling onto the poor princess who was just looking for a potential marriage partner.
miya let out snicker at the memory. “well now that you say that...”
“anyways i have to hurry if i wanna make it before my mom sends a servant to make sure i’m ready.”
“oh right right let’s go. i’ll go get koyomi and head to the stables. see you soon.” and with a wink miya slipped out the door and was gone. grabbing a cloak from his bed, reki fastened the clasp and dashed out the room after miya.
he was sick of all this arranged marriage bullshit, he was sick of it all. reki just wanted to meet his soulmate and fall in love. he knew his thoughts were selfish though. he was the eldest of the four kyan children and his mom was doing her best to rule a kingdom by herself, so by default his marriage was bound to be political. it was very unlikely he would end up with his soulmate.
and so that’s why reki was going to meet his soulmate tonight. he would meet them and apologize for being a lousy soulmate before heading back to the castle to meet the prince who he was supposed to be dinning with.
for most of reki’s life he soulmate had lead to a place up in the snowy mountains. but within the past few years the string moved into the town below the castle reki lived in. just like fate his soulmate moved to his home town. but it was someone else’s fate, not his. so reki made up his mind weeks ago: meet his soulmate, apologize, then finally agree to a political marriage. his plan would take away his curiously about his soulmate, it would hopefully lessen his guilt about not being able to be with said soulmate, and it would make his mom happy. so why didn’t he like what he was about to do?
ignoring the heavy feeling in his stomach reki pushed on. running quietly through the halls reki hid behind stone pillars and over large plant pots when he needed too. finally reaching the barn reki slipped into there to see miya and koyomi talking away with the stable hand over a loaf of bread and some pieces of cheese.
slipping past the trio and out into the courtyard beyond reki doesn’t make a noise. he holds his breath all the way to the green house, and doesn’t let it out until he’s well into the tunnel behind it. some time ago a tunnel was dug in the large wall protecting the castle, the entrance was hidden by vines on both sides. the cave was known only to a select few.
as reki hurried through the cave he began to think back to some of his earlier suitors. he remembers his best friend who he could have seen himself marrying despite not being soulmates. but his friend got sick and went back to his kingdom and reki never heard from him again.
but tonight was about his soulmate. so reki trudged on, squinting for the cave opening.
before long the prince was stumbling out of the vines and onto the street. luckily it was mostly empty. empty except for a tall man with long pink hair and glasses.
at the sound of someone falling through the leaves he looked up but seemed shocked to see a teenager.
“your not kojiro.” the stranger blurted.
“and your not- actually i wasn’t waiting for anyone and i have no idea who you are...or who kojiro is.”
the man stared at reki for a minute before recognition flashed in his eyes.
“prince reki! what are you doing outside of the castle?”
“i um...well you see-“ but reki was cut off by a rustling behind the vines and a large figure falling out of said vines.
“kaoru you will never believe the day i had...” joe trailed off, eyes catching sight of a panicked reki and surprised kaoru.
“joe?” reki blurted at the same time joe said “reki?”
the two stared at each other before reki made a run for it.
but joe caught him by his hood so reki didn’t get far.
“kid what the hell are you doing here?” joe said apparently forgetting all formalities one should talk to their prince with.
“not of your business! and i could ask you the same!” reki yelled as he struggled to get free from joe’s grip.
“i’m meeting my soulmate. and i’m going to ask you again, what are you doing here?”
reki sagged, giving up the struggle. “same here,”
“you’re meeting your soulmate?” kaoru asked.
“yes, what about it?” reki said crossing his arms. it had all gone so good until now.
“aren’t you supposed to be in a arranged marriage?”
“yes so i’m going to meet my soulmate and apologize before agreeing to an arranged marriage.”
“what?” joe said, surprise causing him to loosen his grip. taking the chance reki dashed away. ignoring the yells behind him reki kept on running. nothing can stop me now, reki thought, i’ve come this far.
eyeing his string, reki ran through the streets watching it get tighter and tighter. reki was too focused on the string that he didn’t see the boy in front of himself until it was too late.
the boys slammed into each other hard, the medicinal products in the other boy’s hands clattering to the ground.
“oh shit sorry-“
“sorry-“
they both spoke at the same time causing the boys to look up at each other abruptly. the boy had bright blue hair that went down past his ears. he was tall and lanky, his skin almost as pale as snow. bright blue eyes that reki had sworn he had seen before. but when reki’s gaze meet the boy‘s hands, his heart stopped. a thin red string connecting reki’s own finger to this mystery boy’s, hung in the air. a red string of fate; a soulmate string. this boy was his soulmate.
eyes snapping back to the bright blue ones reki knew his soulmate saw it too.
“well shit.” reki blurted and the boy began to laugh. it was a sweet noise, like the chime of heavenly bells. and so reki began to laugh too.
“well i guess you’re my soulmate. that makes this search a lot easier then.” standing up and reaching out a hand to his soulmate, reki began to speak. “so you probably know who i am and therefore i can’t marry you -or be with you quite frankly- and i’m very sorry for that and it’s selfish of me but i have the responsibility of the kingdom on my shoulders and i can’t fail my people.”
“what? ‘kingdom’? what are you talking about?” the boy‘s blank stare bored into reki.
“...i’m the prince. and i’m going to be king someday. and as much i want to be with my soulmate -you-, i have to be responsible for my people -which includes you-.”
realization dawned on his face. “ooh, i see.”
“and honestly i don’t care about the difference of ‘rank’ between noble and townsfolk but other royalty do.”
“well my moms a doctor if that means anything.”
“a prominent roll indeed but unfortunately not enough for the in-law of a prince. well not in my eyes, but in the eyes of others.”
the boy hummed in though. “well she was the queen of the kingdom in the mountains before my father fell to illness and some corrupt politician overthrew her and had us banished. do that mean anything?”
“you- you mean you were a prince?”
the boy nods.
“oh my god. oh my god! this may just work then! i may be able to be with my soulmate and still have a marriage that pleases the royal court!” reki’s eyes light up in happiness. “that’s only if you do want to be with me i mean.” he added.
“well you’re my soulmate, are you not? so we’re meant to be together, no?”
“well yes of course. but i wanted to make sure you were comfortable with it and all...”
“of course reki.” the boy said sweetly while reaching out and clasping reki’s hands in his own.
reki almost melted at the use of his given name spoken by his soulmate.
“oh wait can i call you that? is that ok?”
all reki could do was dumbly nod.
“my names langa by the way.”
“langa,” reki said testing out the way the name felt on his tongue. “i like it!” he smiled and watched as langa’s face turned red.
“well should we head to the castle or something to relay the news?” langa asked, turning to reki.
“hmmm i think we can wait a minute. wanna show me around the town?”
“it would be my honor.”
and so the two boys disappeared into the lively bustle of the town as the laughed away and held each other’s hand like a lifeline.

han jisung + smut
request; can i request jisung roommate au which they are both rival word count; 2.7k words warnings; enemies to lovers!au, roommates!au, orgasm denial, semi-public sex
Black Shirt
You drag your heavy suitcase throughout the corridors of your campus, a white sheet of paper with black scribbles made by your friend to guide you through the hostel dangling carelessly between your fingers. She had already found her room, which she shared with a guy; something absurd for your conservative mind.
No doubt, you had guy friends, but you never even thought of sharing a room with the opposite sex, let alone actually doing it. Your new hostel had such a policy though, and they justified it by saying that it would ‘help them come out of their bubble’ and all that. You were anticipated to meet your new roommate, hoping you would click with him soon.
Yeah no, that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon.
Especially when your roommate was going to be Han Jisung; your rival since 8th grade. You didn’t just dislike him, no. You two loathed each other. All the synonyms of hatred combined still wouldn’t be near half of how much you despised him. And unluckily, he ended up being your roommate for the next two years.
There was no turning point in your lives where you just started hating each other. You two were overachievers. Anything one would do, the other did better. Not only did it lead to the growing feeling of distaste in you two, but it also did something good. Put you two into amazing universities in the country. 
But the fact that you two ended up in the same room as well, your friends kinda knew what they were going to be facing soon. 
The second you enter your room, the only thing leaves your mouth is, “What the fuck?!”
Jisung looks at you, snarling and clicking his tongue as he sees you at the doorstep with your red suitcase in hand. You knew where this was leading to, but you liked watching his face turn red in anger. You liked watching his face in general, though.
“You! You followed me here too!” he cried, pointing a finger at you as he stood up, slow steps walking towards you.
“Um, no? This shitty piece of paper brought me here? Also, why the hell would I ever follow a dickhead like you!”
“You know what? Just—”
“Hey there! What’s with all the yelling?” another voice calls from the kitchen. A taller male with blond curly hair walks up to you two, eyebrows quirked up in amusement. He eyes the two of you as he picks up his bowl of cereal, walking round the island top and leaning against it as he digs in his breakfast.
Jisung groans and storms to his room, leaving you and Chan alone.
“I’m sorry, he gets his period once in a while. Do you guys know each other..?” he laughs, swirling his spoon in the white bowl.
“Yeah, we went to the same school for a couple years and stuff—”
“Oh so you’re friends! Tha—”
“No. I hate him. He hates me. He sucks and we’ll hate each other until he dies.” you cut him off, dragging your stuff inside the living room. You hear a ‘You suck more!’ from Jisung’s room, and Chan chuckles. He helps you with your stuff and shows you your room, instructing you about the small details of the place. 
It was time for dinner, and you heard your stomach growl. With a little help from Chan, you were able to almost set up your room by the end of the day, and now you were starving. The delicious aroma of flavor rolls by your nostrils, and you take in a long breath. You place the pile of books neatly where you wanted them, and trudged towards the kitchen, where something was cooked.
You saw Chan and another girl, mindlessly humming and wiggling their hips to some song playing softly, their backs facing you as they cooked pasta. You quietly walk forward, but somehow the girl hears your footsteps and turns around to acknowledge you.
“Hey! You must be Chan’s new roommate! Come, have a seat, dinner’s almost ready!” she squeaks happily, smiling as she returns back to cooking, the loving grin not leaving her lips.
You set up the table and sit down as the girl served the delicious food onto your plate. Chan sits next to you, and the girl sits closer to him. 
“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself,” she giggles as you’re about to start eating. 
“I’m—”
“Saerom! Hello~” Jisung exclaims as he trudges out of his room, making his way to the table. He glances at you and pokes his tongue out, but before you can retract, the girl, or Saerom, starts.
“So, I’m Saerom, and I’m Chan’s girlfriend! He told me about you earlier, I hope we can be good friends!” she speaks as you all start eating. You didn’t have heart eyes for Chan, but you didn’t expect him to have a girlfriend. But then on the other hand, he did have the looks and brains to have ten.
“Sure! The food’s great by the way,” you speak mouthful, devouring the best dinner you’ve had in weeks.
You and Jisung act like you don’t know each other, and you keep talking to Saerom and Chan about regular school stuff. You felt Jisung shaking his legs under the table, restraining everything in you to not yell at him to stop. Then again, he might as well be doing it to piss you off.
His leg hits yours— and to be very honest, your whole body was sore from all the work you had done today, and you were exhausted. Jisung’s kick pisses you off even more and you kick him back, trying to be as subtle as possible.
“Yah! Why’d you kick me!” he asks, eyebrows raised and fork shifting in his hands as if one wrong move and he would stab you. 
“Excu— Me? Your dumbass purposely kicked me when I was clearly minding my own damn business,” you counter, pissed off at his audacity.
“I didn’t hit you, I hit the table leg!” he defends, and you scoff, amused if he was being serious or shocked if he was comparing your leg to the table’s.
“Hey hey, now, let’s have a nice dinner, yeah?” Chan muses, grinning as he sees the two of you fighting like preschoolers. You finish off your food, occasionally glaring at Jisung who does the same, and wash off your dishes.
“Thank you so much for today! The food really was delicious,” You compliment, and Saerom and Chan call out a ‘good night’ and ‘thank you!’ as you walk off to your room.
“Yes! Fuck yes!” 
You couldn’t hold in your excitement as you jumped up and down on your bed, hands holding the paper Chan had given you. After weeks and weeks of assessments and projects, you were finally shortlisted into the University’s International Representatives team. It was a huge honor for you, and you couldn’t stop yourself from feeling all these emotions. 
Chan has to hold you by your arms and pull you down when he starts hearing the weak bed squeak under you, afraid that the furniture might break under your actions.
“I’m so happy! Oh my God this has to be the best day of my life.”
“That’s great! Now y/n please go to bed it’s pretty late and you have the interview tomorrow,” Chan sighs, looking up at the clock.
He wishes you night before signing off for the day, heading to his room retiring for the night.
You admire yourself, twirling around in the red pencil skirt and black dress shirt you’d worn for today’s interview. You were totally going to ace this, and nothing could stop you. You hop on into Saerom’s car as she told you she could drop you off for your big day. 
You walk inside the dimly lit restaurant, a fresh smell flowing through your lungs. You feel confidence rush through you once again and you smile, walking into the hall. The receptionist asks you if you needed a reservation or if you were here on invitation. 
“Yeah actually, I’m here on invitation. I’m here for the interview for the University of Seoul.” you reply, tapping your heels on the marble tiles. She kindly directs you to a table not far away, and you thank her before walking towards them.
There was a female teacher you recognized from your lectures, and the other was a random man you’d never seen before. You smile and greet them, sitting in front of them.
“Good evening, y/n! How is your day going,” your teacher smiles, shuffling through some papers. You talk about some basic daily events, possibly to get you to be comfortable with them. 
“So we’re waiting for another student, so when he arrives, we’ll— here he is! Welcome,”
You turn to look at who the student was and your jaw almost drops down. It was, of course, Han Jisung. Of course, he was here too, ready to ruin this for you as well. He looks at you with a blank stare, eyes immediately dropping down to your exposed thighs. You turn back around, mentally crying at what you thought was going to happen.
“Great! So we’ll start off with the interview now. We’ve seen your reports, and we’d like to hear from you, how would you tackle situations based on international conflicts...”
So far you've done pretty well. You couldn’t deny, Jisung was a good speaker as well; he almost impressed you with his answers. You noticed how his eyes close up to crescents when he would smile widely, the small grin everlasting on his face. His honey skin basked under the glow of the yellow lights paired up with the soft sunset glow from outside the restaurant. 
His hand rests on your right thigh and you snap out of your daze, shifting your eyes back to the teachers assessing you. All your attention which was on them snaps when you feel the hand on your thigh rise higher and higher. You feel goosebumps rise on your skin where his fingers touched.
At this point, the two older professors at the other end of the table are busy discussing something among themselves, and you can’t really excuse yourself from this mishap. Jisung’s fingers rise higher and higher, and he briefly looks at you and you slowly nod, approving his actions. He gladly moves ahead, smirking as his fingers are dangerously close to where you wanted him the most.
He feels the lacey material of your panties on his fingers and decides to tease you, running his fingers up and down the damp fabric that stuck to your folds uncomfortably. You slowly grip his wrists, signalling him to work his way quickly without the teasing.
He smirks at your eagerness, pushing your panties aside and prodding his fingers at your hole, using your slick to coat his fingers. You sigh softly, clenching your fists under the table. He pushes his index finger inside, slowly thrusting in and out of your hole. You bite your lip to hold back any sounds as his finger curls inside you. He maintains his steady pace pumping his fingers, his ring touching your walls every now and then making your toes curl. 
He adds in two more fingers at once and you almost yelp, stomach churning in pleasure. Your walls clench around his fingers and he continues his sinful actions underneath the table. He places his thumb over your clit, pressing down on the nub. You feel your high approaching, legs bouncing up and down as his fingers keep thrusting your leaking hole. You’re about to let go the knot, when—
“Thank you for spending your time with us, students. We’ll talk about this in the next few days. I’ll keep contact…” and the rest of the words spoken by your professor are a haze as frustration of your lost orgasm takes over. You force a smile, bowing and thanking the older for their time. Fixing your skirt, you and Jisung walk out of the restaurant. You rush ahead of him, and he follows close by. He opens the door of a cab, motioning you to sit inside before himself plopping in, directing the driver to take you to the dorms.
The ride back is extremely quiet, and all you think of is having sex with Jisung.
Luckily, Chan and Saerom were out for a study date, so you had the whole room to yourselves. Just as the door clicks open, Jisung pushes you inside along with him, locking it shut before pressing you up against the door. 
“Fuck y/n, you look so hot in that dress,” he moans, grinding his hips onto yours. You turn your head back, moaning at the feeling of his lips latching onto your neck, his clothed member grinding against your wet heat.
“Plea— Please Jisung, just fuck me already,” 
He unbuttons your dress shirt, tossing it onto the floor before pushing his lips against yours. You moan at the plush feeling of his lips on yours, teeth biting your bottom lip. He licks your lip and pulls away, breathing heavily. There’s a tug on your wrists, followed by Jisung pulling you to your room. 
You quickly skim out of your pencil skirt, watching Jisung as he unbuttons his shirt. He walks towards you and you lie down on your bed as he crawls up to you. He leans down to kiss your shoulders and you feel his hard-on on your thigh. You arch your back as he goes lower and lower on your body, kissing and nipping at your skin.
He knows Chan won’t be out for long, and so doesn’t waste too much time foreplay-ing. He pulls down your panties, harshly rubbing his fingers on your cunt. You yelp as his nimble fingers spread open your folds. All you hear in the room is his breathing and your soft noises, paired with the soft wet noises his fingers make in your cunt.
He prods his fingers at your hole, circling at your folds. You whine at his tease, bucking your hips in his grasp. He chuckles breathily before pushing two fingers in at once, curling them upwards to hit the spots that had you moaning in no time. Innumerable curses and groans leave your lips as Jisung pumps his fingers in and out of you just like he had done in the restaurant.
His silver ring touches your walls and you shiver, your action not going unnoticed. He draws his fingers from your convulsing hole, bringing down the cold ring on your clit and pressing it gently. You whine at the sweet pleasure coursing through your veins due to the stimulation, your vision turning blurry from the tears in your eyes.
He licks his lips before removing his dick out of his boxers, pumping it a few times and rolling on a condom before pushing it into you. You grip the sheets tightly as he enters inside slowly, filling your walls deliciously. He wasn’t too big, but was of perfect girth and size to satisfy you.
He is balls deep in you, and he feels his head spin as your walls squeeze around him. He places his hands on either side of your head, making eye contact with you and kissing your jaw.
You feel him slowly pulling out with a whine, before slamming in gratingly. You scream as he sets a quick pace, thrusting in and out of your tight hole. You clench around his length and you both moan at the tight feeling in your abdomen. Your head spins as you reach your high, Jisung’s pace slowing down as well. His thrusts reach deeper in you, finger drawing rough circles on your clit.
You release around him, your warm orgasm coating his dick. You both moan at the sensation, Jisung following soon after. He comes hard, filling up the plastic. He stays that way for a moment, plopping himself on you. 
You hear the front door unlock, Chan’s voice booming through the halls.
“I’m home!”
Fuck. Your black shirt was still out on the floor.

Hair Raising Situations
Hello everyone!
So this one is gonna be a bit different. 
1) I’m featuring my best friend in this one, because the whole “Judith Harris” development started between us two (She has her own MC of course and a Bill fan, Billiam being on her ship names).
2) It’s not connected to anything I’ve previously written, just a funny little story.
3) It’s not just TalbottxJudith. Shocker I know. Judith isn’t dating anyone but it would go in the order of who she interested in (from most to least). So it could be looked at as multiple ships and you’ll see her attitude to each person she interacts with. 
4) Judith’s hair is straightened here, but when... what happened happens, it would be the same hair cut as Orion’s.
5) We did give Skye a twin brother, his name is Hermes. Get it lol?
Anyways, I hope you like this silly little story. Enjoy!
-------------------------
(Brooke Brown) (Age: 16)
I was currently hiding out in the Courtyard in my Animagus form. Why, you may ask?
Because my best friend/sister is out to kill me.
Let's rewind, shall we?
-A little while earlier-
"I can't wait to prank someone with this Fanged Frisbee. Thanks for buying it for me, Brooke," Tonks cheered gleefully as we walked on the Training Grounds. I smiled at the pink haired Hufflepuff.
"Of course. You plan on scaring Filch and Miss Norris with it like last time," I asked. Tonks frowned.
"As much as I love to prank those two, I think I need a change of victims..." The girl trailed off as someone caught her eye. I looked up to find Judith practicing her broom surfing. I glanced back at Tonks and saw the impish smile spread on her face. 
Oh no...
"Tonks, I know that look. Don't even think about," I quickly reprimanded the infamous prankster.
"Oh don't be such a spoil sport, Brooke. Her reaction is going to absolutely priceless," Tonks waved off, preparing to throw the Fanged Frisbee.
"Tonks, no-" I watched in horror as the prank item whirled at my best friend.
"JUDITH, LOOK OUT!" Luckily that caught her attention as she was able to evade the frisbee. But she didn't get a chance to rest as the Fanged Frisbee came whistling back round, giving chase. 
Judith looked semi-scared as she did her best to shake off the frisbee as she flew around on her broom. 
Tonks and I readied our wands to put a stop to the fanged prank item before our friend could get seriously hurt, expect we were have a hard time actually hitting the frisbee.
Tonks and I could only watch as the Fanged Frisbee closed in on her from behind.
"Judith, dive," I shouted. Judith didn't waste a second as she dove down. Judith was able to evade the fanged terror... somewhat.
The sound of fanged teeth cutting through hair felt impossibly loud. I couldn't help but to gape in horror as my best friend's hip-length hair was cut semi-choppily and fell to the ground. Tonks managed to cast Immobulous on the Fanged Frisbee but Judith didn't seem to notice. She stared at the ground where her hair fell while raising a shaking hand to her head.
Uh oh. 
I immediately transformed into my red-tailed hawk and flew off. Not before hearing the scream that damn near shook the entire castle.
"BROOKE, TONKS! YOU'RE SO DEAD!"
---
So now I've resorted to hiding until, hopefully, Judith cooled off. 
I've been watching the doors that lead to the Courtyard just in case she comes here looking to rip my tail feathers off...
I was so caught up in my inner turmoil, I nearly fell out of the tree I was in when a giant Golden Eagle landed right next to me. Talbott and I transformed back into our human forms for a moment.
"What did you do this time," Talbott asked bluntly. I gave my fellow Ravenclaw an innocent look.
"What are you talking about? I didn't do anything," I said, doing my best to hide my nervous laughter. Talbott raised a sharp brow at me.
"And I'm sure Judith was yelling that she was gonna kill you and Tonks for kicks," he said. I shuddered in fear. Talbott sighed.
"Brooke-" I clapped my hand over his mouth, looking around in fear.
"SHHH! She'll be listening for my name for all I know," I hissed at the eagle Animagus. He stared at me, completely unamused.
"Whatever you did can't be-"
"BROOKE KELLY BROWN! YOU BETTER BE READY FOR AN ASS WHOOPING YOU’LL NEVER FORGET!" I let out a shriek, transforming back in my bird form and hiding behind a startled Talbott. 
Judith stormed out in the Courtyard, a fire dancing in her pale gold eyes.
Oh Talbott if you love me as a friend, please for all that good and holy, do not tell her where I am...
-----
(Talbott Winger)
After meeting the "Cursed Children of Hogwarts", I knew my life will never be normal.
I was just thankful for meeting Judith first. Even though she and Brooke were just as persistent on being my friend, she was the much calmer one. Brooke tended to be more mischievous and can easily talk my ear off if I let her.
When I heard Judith's cry of pure fury earlier, all the way from the Library mind you, I knew Brooke and Tonks must've been up to no good. Judith isn't the type to explode or get mad easily, so whatever they did must've been a prank.
When the normally calm Hufflepuff stormed into the Courtyard with a glare sharp enough to kill a man, I instantly had an idea what they did. And couldn't help but blush at the difference.
Judith has been growing her hair out over the years. Her thick long curly mane would reach her mid-back in its natural state. But when it was straighten, it would reach her shapely hips. 
I secretly thought she looked beautiful with long hair, silently wishing to play with her long locks. But now, said mane was now cut short. It was a bit choppy, but not in a bad way. She looked cute with short hair...
Her gold eyes scanned the Courtyard for her fearful best friend who was now taking refuge in my hood. Her eyes landed on me and her angry expression melted into something akin to shy embarrassment. She walked up to me slowly.
"H-hey Tal-Talbott," she quietly greeted me. I rose a brow. 
The fact that she can switch from rage to shyness nearly gave me whiplash.
"Hello Judith," I replied. The girl crossed her arms staring at her feet. I couldn't help but find her adorable right now. 
She was wearing her semi-casual class outfit. A black sweater over her white button-down collar and yellow and black tie, a black skirt that reached her knees, dark gray long socks, and her shiny ballet flats. With her short hair, it made seem so much sweeter...
Tumblr media
I jumped down, feeling Brooke squirm before quickly settling in my hood. I took a few steps forward until I was standing in front of the cute Hufflepuff.
"Have you seen Brooke around," she quietly asked. 
I felt a nervous twitch on my back. 
Deciding to cover for my fellow Ravenclaw, I shook my head. Silence ensued between the two of us, as Judith still has yet to meet my gaze.
"New haircut," I inquired in an attempt to break the silence. The girl flinched.
"Not by choice. It looks bad, I know," she grumbled. As much as I love her with long hair, I love seeing her like this as well. It brought out her face more, and she looks cuter with the fact it wasn't completely even.
"Who said anything about it looking bad. I think you look rather cute with it," I whispered, twirling a strand between my fingers. Judith looked at me surprised, a hint of color appearing on her face.
"I- um... uh..." I felt a small smile grow on my face.
"Thank you," she squeaked, coming out more like a question rather than a statement. 
Too cute. 
I dropped my hand, silently chuckling.
"D-do me a favor and tell Brooke that we have Quidditch practice l-later, please," she stumbled over her words. I gave her a small smile.
"Sure, anything for you, little bird," I said softly. The girl's blush grew worse as she tucked a couple of loose strands behind her ear.
"Th-Thanks, Talbott. I'll see you later," she mumbled before quickly leaving the Courtyard. A few moments later, Brooke came out of hiding and transformed back into her human form. She pulled me into a tight hug.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" I felt her squeeze me tighter with each thank you and quickly patted her back, wheezing that she'll break me in half if she hugged me any tighter. 
The Ravenclaw girl released me, giving me a sheepish smile.
"Oh, how I wish I could have you around all the time, Talbott. You managed to disarm her without even trying," she sighed in relief. I rolled my eyes at that. Not that I was looking to in the first place, but I did manage to calm the angry Hufflepuff down quite a bit.
"I don't feel like being your human shield every time you get her mad, Brooke. Remember, you have Quidditch practice with her soon so eventually, you'll be on your own," I pointed out. Brooke paled at that and whimpered. I would love to see how she wriggles her way out of that one...

(Orion Amari)
McNully, the Parkin twins, and I awaited our two teammates so we can start practice. Though I sense there might be some minor conflict that could cause a shift of imbalance during today's practice.
If Judith's yell from earlier was an indication...
Judith and I connect very well. 
She may have the strength that Skype prefers and the tactic that appeals to McNully but I noticed she gravitated more on my lessons on balance above everything else. She didn't bat an eye at my methods, whether it be for us to talk as equals by balancing on our broomsticks or even when I taught her how to Inspired Broom Surfing. 
She seems to enjoy not only the challenge but the peace it seems to bring her.
I don't know much about the Curse Vaults but I know it brings her much stress. Helping her clear her mind is definitely something I would gladly do for her whenever she wants.
"OY! Where the hell is Harris and Brown?! They should've been here by now," Skye grumbled, tapping her foot impatiently. Her twin, Hermes, smirked.
"What's the matter, Sky? Eager to get your pasty ass handed to you so soon? Especially after being the Hospital Wing for so long?" The Hufflepuff snarled at her Ravenclaw brother.
"Put a sock in it, will ya?! Now that I'm recovered, I'm gonna mop the floor with you," Skye hissed. McNully simply shook his head at the Parkin Chasers.
"I give it a 98.9% chance this has to do with Judith's death threat earlier," he told me.
"And what could you think to be the reason," I asked the Quidditch commentator. He shrugged his broad shoulders.
"Beats me."
"S-sorry we-we're late, everyone..." came a slightly timid apology. We all turned to find the Ravenclaw Chaser and Hufflepuff Beater in their respected practice uniforms. Brooke, who voiced this apology, was looking away and Judith silently glared daggers at her best friend. 
I blinked in surprise as I took in my Beater.
Judith's hair has been cut drastically short, very similar to my own in fact. I'd always found the Hufflepuff to be alluring with her long, thick mane. Especially when the wind would blow, toying with her locks as she meditated with me or when we simply practicing flying on our brooms together.
Her short hair didn't dampen her beauty but simply changed it in a different light. Her facial features were brought out more due to the cut. Her big gold eyes, her soft cheeks, her slightly sharp jawline...
"Tch, nice haircut Harris," Hermes snorted. The girl shifted her glare over to him, making him slightly flinched.
"We don't have time for a bloody makeover, Judith, we had a Quidditch title to defend," Skye chided.
"Oh, can it both of you! It's not like I asked for a bad hair day," Judith snapped, sending a side-eye to a timid Brooke.
"May I asked what happened exactly," McNully asked politely. Judith sighed, refusing to say anything. Brooke tried not to twitch under her hard stare.
"Let's just say a Fanged Frisbee gone wrong," Brooke vaguely summarized. I let out a hum of understanding as I studied the Hufflepuff Beater. A few strands landed in front of her face. Before Judith could do anything, I carefully brushed her hair behind her ear, allowing my fingertips to lightly caress her cheek. 
The girl blinked at me in surprise, a blush coloring her face.
"I see nothing wrong with it. I think short hair suits you," I said with a smile. The girl couldn't find any words to say after I complimented her.
"S-so, le-let's get to practicing, ye-yeah," the Hufflepuff Beater offered. I silently chuckled at her attempt to change the subject but appeased her nonetheless.
It didn't escape my attention however when Brooke shot me a grateful look.
———
"Oh boy, definitely need a Wiggenweld Potion," Brooke winced as practice concluded. 
Judith showed no mercy, hitting Bludgers with deadly accuracy. She managed to nail Hermes and Brooke quite a number of times, much to Skye's delight, but I can still sense some level of unbalance coming from her.
"Judith, may I speak with you. Alone," I called out to her. Murphy and Skye shrugged, Brooke looked relieved (more or less running out of the stadium, despite her injuries) and Hermes smirked making kissing noises in our direction. Judith looked very peeved, as well as a bit flustered, at that and looked ready to jump the male but I held her back with a steady hand on her shoulder.
"Come now, it wouldn't be long. I promise," I whispered gently to her. Her face did a funny little spasm as her blush grew worse, but she relented. When the others cleared out, I turned Judith so she could face me. The girl stubbornly looked at my chest. I let out a sigh and tilted her chin up so she could look at me.
"Something troubles you. What's wrong," I softly asked.
"It's stupid. One of the few days I actually could relax, I get chased by a rogue Fanged Frisbee thanks to Tonks and Brooke and now I have a haircut that makes me look more like a boy. I'm already insecure about myself as is, this just put me in a foul mood," the girl admitted. 
My gaze softened at the Hufflepuff witch. 
Tentatively, I cupped her cheek, brushing my thumb under her eye.
"Long or short, your hair doesn't define your beauty, Judith. I'm not speaking to you out of concern a captain has for his teammate, but simply as a wizard expressing himself to a witch. I truly mean when I say you're an alluring girl," I whispered to her. I leaned in pressed a small kiss on her hairline. I heard her let out a shaky breath. Pulling away, her eyes were closed and the blush darkened.
Her gold eyes fluttered open to meet my dark brown ones. She gave me a shy smile.
"Th-Thank you, Orion," she said quietly. I hummed softly and stepped back to give her some space. She asked if she could leave now and I gave her a smile and nodded, saying I'll see her around. She gifted me with one last small smile before walking out of the stadium. I heard the grass being crunched under a set of wheels.
"You seriously could've made the poor girl faint you know," I heard McNully say. I turned to him with a guileless smile.
"You know that I have no shame expressing how I feel. I feel a connection towards the girl, simple as that," I said. The commentator rolled his eyes and chuckled.
-----------------
(Andre Egwu)
I was in the Ravenclaw Common Room studying one of Murphy's playbooks. I really want to be a better Seeker so I can actually play on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. I want to make my grandmother proud... and Judith as well.
The witch never had to reach out to help me, especially since she's on the Hufflepuff team. But she helped introduced me to Murphy so I can learn and strategy wizard himself. I was actually surprised how friendly those two were with each other, which means they've been working closely for quite a while. I remember the kind smile she sent my way when she promised that this is will help me become a better Seeker.
She had such a beautiful smile. Among a lot of features.
Her smooth chocolate skin.
Her delicately sculpted face.
Her athletically fit (and slightly curvy) body.
Her bright gold eyes.
Her long dark hair.
I sighed dreamily.
"Whatcha sighing about, Andre?" A very familiar voice spoke. I jumped to find Judith standing close to the couch I resided on. I blinked in surprise.
Judith blew a strand of her now short hair from her face as she looked at me curiously. Suddenly her battle cry from earlier today makes so much more sense...
Along with Brooke's frantic running in and out (with a bunch of snacks and candy in hand) of the Common Room, yelling if anyone needed her she'll be in the Gryffindor Common Room...
I can understand Judith's anger, but...
It's not as bad as she thinks it is...
"Andre?" I snapped back to reality as the Hufflepuff rose a brow at me. I blushed.
"Sorry, sorry... I was caught up in studying these playbooks," I partially lied through the skin of my teeth. I felt my entire face grow hot. She let out a soft hum.
"Alright," she finally said. I let out a soft sigh of relief. I stood to take a closer look at the girl.
"Cute haircut, whose your stylist," I commented, ruffling her hair playfully. The girl stared at me, surprise overtaking her features.
"I was half expecting you to find this bad," she said, running through her fingers through the choppy cut to fix it. I shook my head.
"You looked good with how your hair was before, but you look very cute with this cut," I said honestly. The Hufflepuff Prefect chuckled and hugged me around the waist. I blushed and wrapped my arms around her. The sweet smell of her shampoo wafted up my nose. Mmm... cocoa butter and coconuts...
I felt a dopey grin spread on my face.
Dear Gods if this is a dream, don't wake me up...
Unfortunately, the girl pulled away.
"I wanted to ask you something," she said. The warmth of her hug and the sweet smell still left me in a slight delirious euphoria. So I didn't hesitate to answer.
"Sure, anything..."
"Do you by any chance know where Brooke is?"
"She went to the Gryffindor Common Room," I said, unknowingly ratting Brooke out to her possibly vengeful best friend. Said best friend gave me a giant smile and another hug.
"Thank you, Andre," she said, and was there a slight purr in her voice? She turned on her heel and walked out of the room, leaving me alone once again.
Sighs... so worth it...
----------------
(Brooke Brown)
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!
Once I get my hands on Egwu, I'm gonna clobber him!
...Assuming I survive my best friend's wrath...
I glanced at Bill, who was basically yeeted across the room to keep Judith from entering the room. He ended up hitting an armchair, which toppled backward. I forgot how strong my best friend was...
I silently whimpered at the sight of Judith smirking down at me.
"L-l-let's not do-do anything drastic n-now...! I-I'm sure we can t-talk about this, haha haha haha pleasedon'thurtme," I said as I shrunk into the couch. Judith remained quiet for a moment before chuckling. I shut my eyes.
Oh no...
Goodbye world, it was nice knowing you...
"Relax, will ya? I'm not gonna hurt you..." I cracked open one eye.
"Really," I asked quietly.
"Well not really..." Not helping!
"You can say that the short hair kinda grew on me, so I'm gonna spare you from anything drastic," she said.
"Wha-But-How-" The short Hufflepuff gave me a small smile with a slight blush on her face.
"You can say I received some votes of confidence today," she said softly, brushing a few strands behind her ear. I thought back. Talbott. Orion. Andre.
I smirked and snickered.
Apparently, that was the wrong move as Judith's eyes sharpened into a glare. I 'eeped' as she leaned in close to my face.
"Even so, I'm not spending x amount of years just to regrow my hair. You gonna find a way to help me grow it back or else. Got it," she whispered. I nodded frantically. She gave me a lazy smirk.
"Good. See ya at dinner, bestie," she said, pulling away and walking out of the room. Once she was gone, I went over to check to make sure that Bill was okay while mentally wondering how can I convince Penny to brew me some kind of hair potion...

Belle of the Ball
Prompt: an anon and my own imagination
Paring: Kirishima x Reader
Word Count: 1k
Warnings: none except fluff
A/N: I was looking through @kirislut ‘s dash and I saw an anon’s post about a Kirishima masquerade! au, and I really couldn’t resist (i started writing for this smh...) plus Meg said she wanted to read something like this, so I hope she likes it!
Tumblr media
Elegant balls and masquerades have never been your cup of tea. Being friends with Momo Yaoyorozu only grew your distaste for them as she regularly held them and never ceased to send you an invitation. You, being a good and supportive friend, always made the effort to go but never enjoyed them. Tonight’s masquerade was supposed to be no different: upperclass citizens regaling others with their tales of monotonous expenditures or lavish retreats. The only real difference was in the invitation recipients themselves. Not only were the elite members of society invited, but also the rising heroes from UA’s Class 1-A. 
You had to admit, the inclusion of more people close to your age would be nicer than being surrounded by the stuffy aristocratic adults, but interacting with people has never been your strongest suit. Nevertheless, you decided to go. After all, you would never want to disappoint your friend.
Stepping outside of your car, you quickly entered the luxurious ballroom. The lights from the vaulted chandeliers glimmered all around the room, bathing the room in a vibrant, golden hue that danced across the many crystals and metals found around the room. Elegant bouquets of enchanting red roses sprinkled the chamber, perfectly balancing the overwhelmingly kinetic atmosphere. Many were already there, although you were well aware of the absence of the burgeoning hero class with the exception of Yaoyorozu. It wasn’t long until she made her way over to you.
“Y/N! I’m so glad you could make it,” she began, lifting her ornate mask slightly to expose her face. “I’m honestly quite excited for you to meet my classmates, though some may be the prime example of a UA student...”
You didn’t waste a second to reassure her, “Momo, I’m sure it will all be fine. And besides, I’m sure everything will end well. I’ll make sure of it!”
She quickly smiled. “Thank you so much, Y/N.”
As much as you would have liked to continue conversing with your friend, you understood she had to act as host to her own soirée. As the night went along, the rising heroes slowly trickled in groups. Yaoyorozu served as an intermediary between you and whichever group managed to enter the room, offering you the chance to meet new people and help keep and eye on any problematic classmates though there were hardly any. It wasn’t until an hour into the masquerade when a group of five entered the vicinity.
The group was loud and rambunctious, radiating a certain chaotic energy. The two on the left were clearly teasing the one of the blonde members, who seemed to be seething with anger. The girl was laughing at their actions, obviously amused by the situation, but while they were the most energetic members, they were overshadowed by their last member. 
To you, he exemplified natural beauty. His bright red hair was the first thing you noticed, burned into your memory like a lit fire. His eyes, although mainly hidden by a simple red mask, gleamed with life. And despite his action of trying to hold back the angry blonde, he radiated kindness and warmth. 
In conclusion, you were drawn to him.
As much as you would have liked to introduced yourself to the mysterious man, you had an inkling that you’d only embarrass yourself or trip over your own words. If being a few yards away had this effect on you and your heart, imagine the effect he would have on you from a few feet away. The thought frightens you. Instead of introductions, you decide the best course of action would be to just keep your distance.
Fate had other plans for you.
Your plan began to fall apart the second after you thought of it. After all, Yaoyorozu was insistent on introducing you to all her classmates. What also didn’t help was the fact that you were staring at him, drawing his own attention to you until you were both seemingly entranced by the other. Feeling a burning heat rise to your cheeks, you quickly managed to look away, opting instead to look for Midorya and his friends, trying to ignore the stranger’s lingering gaze.
It wasn’t long until most people began to dance. The elegant and whimsical music drifted into your ears as couples and friends twirled around the room, sending gusts of air from dresses and skirts. Never one for waltzing, you instead chose to spend your evening by the refreshment bar. 
“Hey.”
You jumped, quickly turning your head to the sound of the voice. You had been so busy examining the dancers that you didn’t even notice that the mysterious stranger from earlier was now standing right next to you.
“Um, hello,” you stuttered. The effect this man had on you was frightening, and you didn’t even know his name.
His had rubbed the back of his neck and stuck out his hand,”I don’t think we’ve been introduced yet. I’m Eijiro Kirishima.”
“Y/N,” you responded, quickly grasping his hand, silently hoping he couldn’t hear how fast your heart was pounding.
“Oh! You’re Yaoyorozu’s friend! She’s been talking about introducing you to us for the past week!” Kirishima let out a breathy laugh, a laugh that sounded better than the orchestral music echoing in the halls.
Snapping out of your trance, you responded, “Aw, she’s been talking about me? That’s sweet of her!”
“Well, now I could see why. You seem like an amazing person!”
Your cheeks warm up at that. Suddenly, the music changes into a traditional slow dance. How cliché, you thought. Kirishima, on the other hand, saw the opportunity at hand.
Quickly extending his hand and bowing, he looked up at you with a smirk. “Would you like to dance with me?”
Drifting from his hand to his eyes, you were faced with a vast void, radiating gentleness and serenity, glinting with playfulness. You didn’t waste a moment to take his hand and flash him a smile in return.
“I would love to, Kirishima.”
The two of made your way over to the dance floor, with small cheers and hollers from his friends. This may very well be your the first and last encounter with Kirishima, but you’ll be damned if you don’t enjoy it with him. And besides, Yaoyorozu could always help you set something up.
Maybe these masquerades weren’t so bad.

“Oh my, does this dress make my butt look bigger?” Sara asks, standing in front of the mirror in a shop.
“Is that what you want? If so, yes. Why do you need a new dress anyway? You have so many beautiful ones already.” Y/n wonders out loud while looking through the racks.
“Because I want to make a good first impression. Besides, I heard the crew of the Enterprise are all quite attractive. I’ve got to live up to that.” Sara responds, walking back into the dressing room.
“Sara, you are one of the most attractive people I know. Neither of us would have a problem if we went in something we already owned.” Y/n laughs, pulling out a flowing deep blue dress off the rack. “What about this?”
Sara pops her head out of the dressing room, watching as Y/n holds the dress up to her body. Sara’s eyes widen and shake her head frantically in agreement before her head disappears back into the dressing room, “absolutely. Go try that on right now.”
Y/n walks into a dressing room with the dress in hand. The dress was made with elegant royal blue tulle with embroidered stars speckled over the top layer. It fell over Y/n’s body perfectly, off the shoulders and stopped to about mid-calf, and whished when she moved. Stepping out, Y/n looks at Sara who was now sitting in a chair with the black cocktail dress she had tried on previously.
“You look like a greek god in that dress, Y/n,” Sara mused.
Y/n walked in front of the mirror and twirled. “Is it too much? If I get this, you have to pick a more exciting dress than what you’ve got.”
“It’s not too much but if it takes me getting that dress that makes my butt look good for you to buy that, I’ll do it,” Sara responds while walking over to the rack where she found the aforementioned dress.
With both dresses paid for, the friends left the shop and headed to Y/n’s apartment to pick up the things she needs to get ready at Sara’s.
“So, Let’s see what we’re getting ourselves into,” Sara started, looking at her datapad with photos of the crew while she walks.
“Sara, we’ve looked at these photos thousands of times. We know what they look like,” chuckles out Y/n, weaving their arm with hers.
“Yes, but that was different. Now we’re performing reconnaissance for the party tonight.” 
“And what does your reconnaissance tell you?” Y/n glances at the pad.
“That Lieutenant Uhura is very attractive and only one rank above us.” Sara giggles as she reads Uhura’s personnel entry. “She’s also incredibly smart.”
“And very taken by Commander Spock,” Y/n points to the relationship status on file.
Sara deflates slightly before swiping through the next few personnel files. She stops on Commander Spock next.
“And this is the Vulcan you’ll be working under. Good luck with that, Y/n. I hear he’s rather cold.” Sara comments before continuing to swipe.
“He’s not that cold if he’s in a relationship. Also, isn’t he half human?” Y/n stops Sara before she walks into the busy street.
Sara ignores the potential harm she could have caused herself, and next stops on Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scott, better known as Scotty. 
“Cheif of Engineering. I hear he’s basically married to the ship,” Sara laughs and restarting to walk once the crosswalk is open.
“Next,” Y/n chuckles bad.
“Lieutenant Commander Leonard McCoy, Chief Medical Officer. I heard he has a cute accent but is a bit of a hardass. Remind me not to get hurt a lot.” Sara side-eyes Y/n while she talks.
“Good to know. Bet he knows how to make a good drink though.” Y/n speculates as they enter their apartment building.
“And Lastly, for the head of different groups, Captain James T. Kirk. Quite the looker.” Sara smirks to herself.
“And quite the flirt,” Y/n laughs at her friend as she unlocks her apartment. “I’ll be right over. I just need to pick up a few things.”
Living in the same building as your best friend had its perks. Getting ready for events was one of them. After picking up her makeup and a pair of heels that match her dress, Y/n walks over to Sara’s apartment and opens the door.
“Hey, why didn’t you wake me up this morning?” Y/n questioned, setting her makeup down next to Sara’s.
“Oh, I tried, you wouldn’t budge. I figured you’d make it eventually. And you did! So points for Sara.” She muses as she grabs two hard ciders from her fridge.
“I could have missed graduation!” Y/n fakes anger as she takes the cider from her dear friend.
Both get to work on their makeup and hair. Sara loosely curls her auburn hair, whereas Y/n does her hair in her favorite style. Once they were both ready, they left Sara’s apartment towards the location of the welcoming party, an old-style bar reminiscent of old San Francisco. The two stood in front of the main doors, peering into the windows, unsure if they should just walk in or not.
“Lieutenants! Very nice to see you two could make it.” A strong hand falls on Y/n’s shoulder, causing them and Sara to turn towards the voice to see a hand outstretched. “How about a proper introduction? I am Captain James T. Kirk. You’re welcome to just call me Kirk when we are off duty. And this is Commander Spock.”
  Y/n takes Kirk’s hand to shake then trading with Sara to shake Spock’s. “I am Lieutenant Junior Grade Y/n Y/l/n. I just go by Y/n when off duty. And this is-”
“Lieutenant Junior Grade Sara Conners, Sir! It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Well, we should probably get inside and join the party, yes?” Kirk suggests, holding the door open for the other three.
The music playing was just above a comfortable volume, but quiet enough where you could hold a conversation without yelling. Sara and Y/s walk up to the bar to order drinks when a young man approaches them with a wide smile.
“Hello, I’m Pavel Ch-”
“Chekov. Navigation right?” Sara finishes for him, reaching out her arm. “Sara Conners. A pleasure to meet you!”
Pavel chuckles shaking Sara’s hand, “Did your research I see. And you are?” He finishes with a soft Russian accent, looking at Y/n.
“Y/n Y/l/n.” She says, shaking his hand. “Got any suggestions on what to order from here?”
“Well, the midtier brandy is spectacular here. But they do have a wonderful mint julep.” He states before waving over the bartender and ordering himself a brandy.
“We’ll take two mint juleps please.” Sara catches the bartender before he’s able to walk off.
“So, are you two in a relationship? You seem very close.” Pavel questions, sipping from his glass.
“No, just really close,” Sara answers, reaching for the newly arrived drinks and handing one to Y/n.
“Ah, cool,” Pavel beams. “Have you met the rest of the bridge crew yet? I can introduce you!”
Pavel leads Sara and Y/n to a table where Kirk and Spock were sat with two others.
“This is Nyota Uhura and Leonard McCoy. You’ve met the Captain and Spock already, yes?” Pavel introduces the crew with a bright smile. “Everyone, this is Y/n Y/l/n and Sara Conners.”
Hello’s and handshakes were exchanged. Pavel is pulled away by a few other ensigns towards what Y/n now notices a karaoke machine.
“So, Lieutenant Y/l/n, You will be working under me. Is there a particular area of study you wish to work on while abroad the USS Enterprise?” Spock questions.
“Oh, um yes. I’m looking specifically for new worlds with large deposits of Bio-mimetic Gel. It has many wonderful medical applications but very-” Y/n is cut off by Leonard.
“Regulated by the Federation. Do you have the proper paperwork and training to be handling such a hazardous material, young lady?” Leonard questions.
“Hey, we’re here to celebrate and have a good time, not to discuss work. Give the girl one more night of freedom.” Kirk interrupts and chuckles. “Also, call him Bones, he hates it.”
“I would love to answer your question, Lieutenant Commander McCoy. My last two years at the Academy majorly consisted of training and research with Bio-mimetic Gel under the supervision of Erika Biordi. My research has been in stabilizing the gel for transport and more widely used medical purposes. I have papers signed by President Kenneth Wescott and the proper containment materials that should already be aboard the Enterprise. This could be major for doctors all over the Federation. Also, I wouldn’t be able to do this work unless the Captain has approved it.” Y/n smiles thinly at the doctor.
Kirk, Spock, and Uhura all look impressed by the confidence in which Y/n spoke. Bones looks more apprehensive about the situation. Kirk broke the silence, “Y/n have you met Scotty yet?”
Y/n shakes her head no and notices Sara slinked off at some point to talk with Pavel more. Kirk leads Y/n towards the back corner to a table with three chairs. At the table sat a gentleman in a brown leather jacket and a Roylan both embroiled in a heated conversation about… power converters?
“No, Keenser, that will overload the Warp Drive, she won’t be able to take that kind of power without the proper energy suppressers.” A thick Scottish accent talks tensely between sips of whatever is in his glass.
“Can no one on my ship take a day off?” Kirk laughs, clapping his hand onto Montgomery’s shoulder.
“Ey, not when you have a potential explosion risk due to Keenser, Sir,” Montgomery responds.
“Well, I’ve got bad news then. I’d like to introduce you to Lieutenant Junior Grade Y/n Y/l/n. One of the newest graduates from Starfleet Academy. She will be studying Bio-mimetic Gel.” Kirk pulls the third chair out and motions to Y/n to sit. “She’s not getting along so great with Bones and thought you two might get along better.”
And with that Kirk walks away. The three are quiet, Y/n sipping on her mint julep that She’s about half done with.
“Sorry, I didn’t know I’d be interrupting a conversation. You can act like I’m not here.” Y/n said just loud enough to be heard over the sound of Sara and a couple of ensigns poorly singing Africa on stage.
“Why did you decide to study Bio-mimetic Gel?” The question from Montmonery surprised Y/n.
“Oh, um, when I was younger, Bio-mimetic Gel saved my mother’s life while out on a five-year mission. Her ship shouldn’t have even had any onboard, but they had just commandeered some from a smuggling vessel. If they hadn’t found that ship when they did and the doctor on board willing to take the risk, my mother would be dead and I would never have been born. So, when I heard they were wanting to do more research into it to potentially make it a commonly used substance by Federation doctors, I jumped at the chance. Sorry, that’s probably a lot more information than you were asking for.” Y/n found herself rambling.
The Cheif engineer just shook his head slightly, finishing off his drink. “No, I asked, Lass. I rarely get full explanations of why someone joined Starfleet. It’s refreshing. I’ll be right back, I’m going to get a refill. Can I get you anything?”
“Yeah, Sure. I’ll take one of whatever you’re getting. Thank you, Montgomery.”
“Please, call me Scotty.” He said, before walking off towards the bar.
Keenser and Y/n sat in more silence as they finished their drinks waiting for Scotty to return. Peering towards the bar, Y/n notices Scotty being stopped by some ensigns to chat.
“So, how long have you been on the enterprise?” Y/n asks Keenser.
Keenser babbles in his native tongue something along the lines of “not very long.”
Y/n nods in acknowledgment, “very cool. Do you like it?”
Keenser simply nods as Scotty returns, placing a glass in front of Y/n.
“Thank you, Scotty.” Y/n smiles at the man now sitting across from them.
“No problem, Lass. This will unfortunately be my last drink for the night. Going to head up to the Enterprise tonight to get a head start on some undocking prep. Coming with Keenser?” Keenser huffed in response, Finishing his drink and hopping down from his chair.
“Oh, okay. Have a goodnight then. Don’t overwork yourself. It’s supposed to be a night off.” Y/n waves goodbye to Scotty and Keenser.
Almost as soon as they leave, their spots are taken by Sara and Pavel.
“Y/n! You HAVE to get up there and sing!” Sara’s words slur as she waves her arm towards the small stage in the bar.
“Yes, you should take her advice, Lieutenant,” Pavel smiles towards Y/n.
“No, I’m perfectly fine here. And call me Y/n, Pavel. When do you want to go home, Sara?” Y/n looks with a soft smile towards her friend. She isn’t feeling the alcohol as intensely as Sara but she assumes that’s because she’s had significantly fewer drinks than her friend.
Sara looks at Y/n like they’ve just committed the most heinous crime. “What do you mean you don’t want to go up and sing. You have the most beautiful voice! And I bet your dress would look stunning under those lights.” Sara leans further into Y/n, head now resting her head on her shoulder, and whispers, “You can sing that old Earth song you like so much.”
Y/n chuckles at her friend while shaking her head. “You’re going to have to get a lot more alcohol into me before I’m willing to sing in front of the whole crew.”
Before Y/n could finish talking, Pavel was already up and at the bar, ordering a double round of shots. After a couple of minutes, he returns with a tray of purple shots. The trio cheers the first round to their health and quickly follows it with another to their safety aboard the ship. The trio continues to drink and after about an hour, Y/n is successfully sloshed. Sara convinced Y/n and Pavel to sing Sara’s favorite song that her grandmother loved called ‘Shut Up and Dance’. This was not a song to sing well, but more to just yell the word to. They even got a few of the old crewmates to sing along. Y/n was having a blast and finally thought she couldn’t wait to be working with these people. A group of nurses went on next and sang some modern rock anthem.
Y/n cut themself and Sara off after that song and convinced Sara to drink some water and eat some more food. Both slowly started to sober up, Pavel never seemed very drunk though. People begin to leave back to their homes or hotels for the night. It was starting to get late. Y/n shivers.
“Are you cold, Y/n?” Pavel asks.
“A bit, but I’ll be fine.” Y/n smiles at the kind man.
“Um,” Pavel looks around and spots something on the back of Sara’s chair and grabs it, “put this on.”
‘Scotty’s jacket? When did he take that off?’ Y/n wonders to herself as she slides the jacket on. ‘I’m sure her wouldn’t mind. I’ll just bring it to him on the ship tomorrow.’
“Y/nnnnn, come ooon. Barely anyone is left and I got you drunk like you said I had to. Go sing a solo song.” Sara nudges Y/n elbow towards the stage again.
“Fine, but I’m not happy about it!” Y/n laughs, walking onto the stage after the current song ends.
Sitting on a stool on stage, Y/n adjusts the mic to her sitting height. ‘Take Me To Church’ starts playing.
***
Scotty left earlier than he had planned. But talking with the new science officer made him feel odd and he didn’t want to be rude so he lied about needing to work on the ship. She’s much too young for him he thought. She has her whole life of research ahead of them. He couldn’t be with someone who dressed so elegantly, he was a bumbling fool and could never compare. She didn’t need him, some old Scotsman pinning for her. So instead, he and Keenser walked around the surrounding area until they got tired. About an hour had passed when Scotty realized something.
“Keenser, where’s my jacket?”
Keenser looks at Scotty and responds in his native tongue, “you left it at the bar.”
“Damnit, why didn’t you say anything?” He huffs out, turning around to walk back to the bar and get his Jacket.
He had walked further than he realized from the bar and took him about half an hour to return. As he entered the front doors, he watched Y/n walk onto the stage with his jacket on. Confused, he walks up to Kirk who now sat alone at the bar.
“Y/n said you went back to the ship,” Kirk prodded at the engineer.
“Yeah, but I noticed I forgot my jacket.” Scotty’s accent was unmissable.
“I noticed.” Kirk glances knowingly at Y/n who has started singing on stage.
Most people continued to talk but a few people stopped to listen to Y/n sing. Sara and Pavel sat at their table swaying dramatically to the song. Sara even started waving her arms slowly above her head, causing Y/n to chuckle as she sang. Scotty became enraptured in Y/n singing and began swaying lightly to her voice.
On the last line, “Good God, let me give you my life,” Y/n makes eye contact with Scotty, making her instantly blush.
Hopping off the stage, Y/n shuffles towards him while taking off his jacket.
“Sorry, Pavel found your jacket. I planned on giving it to you tomorrow on the ship but I got cold and put it on. Sorry.” Y/n talked fast, face beet red while shoving the jacket into Scotty’s arms and running back towards Sara before he could get a word out.
“Thanks,” Scotty whispers under his breath, looking down at his jacket.
He slides his arms into it, still warm from Y/n wearing it. Her song had entranced him. It wasn’t a song he was familiar with, must be old. He doesn’t usually care for music, but he thought he would listen to music for hours if she was the one singing it. Scotty shook his head free of those thoughts. By the time he came back to reality, Y/n was gone.
“What are you thinking about, Scotty?” Kirk prodded.
“Nothing, Sir. Goodnight” Scotty straightened out his back before leaving the bar and walking to his hotel room.
***
“Sara, it’s time to go,” Y/n spoke quickly
“What? But I’m still having fun.” Sara huffed.
“Yeah, and we both need to be up and on the transport shuttles at 0700. Let’s go, Rockstar. Goodnight, Pavel, we’ll see you tomorrow.” Y/n pulled Sara to her feet and waved goodbye to Pavel.
The cool, damp air was refreshing on Y/n’s skin. The walk wasn’t long to their apartments, which Y/n was thankful for. She helped Sara into her apartment and bed, setting their friend’s alarm with plenty of time to get ready before going to her apartment to do the same. Y/n quickly fell asleep with oddly invading thoughts of one Montgomery Scott.

My Whirlpool of a Life
Ships: Eventual Kaminar/OC
Word Count: ~2k
Notes: This is my first My Hero Academia fanfiction! I’ve recently joined the fandom, and wanted to write something that’s been stuck in my head since I started watching. I’m not sure how many chapters it’ll be, but I have a lot planned, plot wise!
Also, I will not be doing a tag list for this fic.
Masterlist
Chapter 1: Moving into the Dorms
A shaky breath fell from my lips as I stood in front of the large, wooden door. Most of my stuff was already here, all that was left was a small bag that I was currently gripping like a lifeline. Mr. Aizawa had asked me to wait outside while he told everyone that they were adding me to the class.
As I titled my head to see if I could hear anything, the door opened, making me jump.
“You can come in now.”
I nodded, walking in and immediately gaining the attention of 20 pairs of eyes. I gave a small wave, getting smiles in response.
“Um, hi. I’m Nami Kota, and I’m super excited to join your class!”
There were various murmurs of “Kota?” and “why is she joining our class?” but no one said anything immediately.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
“Alright, we’re gonna go over room assignments. There’s at least one girl on each floor, across from the boys. You each have your own closet and bathroom as well. Mineta, Midoriya, Aoyama, Tokoyami, and Nami - you five are on the second floor.”
Mr. Aizawa’s voice continued to drone on, but I slipped away to unpack my stuff. We’d be living here all year. It wouldn’t be too hard to figure out room assignments.
After about ten minutes, I heard a knock on my door. Surprised that anyone would already be done, I headed over and opened it.
A short boy with purple balls on his head stared up at me, leaning in the doorway. “Name’s Mineta. Minoru Mineta. I came to ask if you needed any help unpacking.”
“Oh, I’m good by myself, but thank you so much for offering!” I gave him a smile. “Are you done already?”
“No, I figured I’d help the girls get settled first, like the nice guy I am.”
Before I could say anything else, a pink girl came out of nowhere and smacked Mineta. “You perv, leave her alone, she just got here!”
Grumbling, Mineta walked back to his room, giving me a wink before closing his door. I made a face, one that made the pink girl laugh.
“He’s one to watch out for, or he might go through your dresser.” She rolled her eyes. “I’m Mina. I love your style by the way, the flowiness of that top is to die for!”
“Thanks!” I did a small twirl, the babydoll top floating out around me. “I have a pink one that’s similar if you ever want to borrow it.”
“Oh my gosh yes!” She squealed, throwing her arms around me in a hug, which I returned instantly. “We’re gonna be best friends, I can tell. I’m gonna go unpack but we have to talk later, bye!”
She darted off, leaving me to finally unpack everything in my room. After I’d put my clothes away, I really only had a few accent pieces to add before I was done.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have anything to hang my picture with. Hoping that there were some nails or something in the common area, I headed downstairs.
Two of the boys were sitting on the sofa, talking to each other. One of them looked a little grumpy, but his friend with the red hair waved as soon as he saw me walk in.
“Hey, Nami Kota, right?” He asked as I headed over. “I’m Kirishima, and this is Bakugo.”
Bakugo gave me a once over and a grunt before he pulled out his phone.
“Hi, I guess.” I said, earning a huff in response. “You guys haven’t seen any nails or anything around have you? I’ve got a picture to hang and-”
“I can help!” Kirishima jumped to his feet, his whole body turning into a rock-like substance. “My quirk is hardening, I can hammer a nail in.”
“I need to find a nail first.”
“Kitchen drawer, next to the sink.” Bakugo didn’t even look up from his phone.
Even though I knew he was ignoring me, I gave him a smile. Politeness had been drilled into me from a young age. You never knew if today was someone’s turning point into a villain.
Kirishima and I found the nails easily, grabbing one and heading up to my room. When we walked in, he took a quick look around. “Nice, love the beach vibes.”
“Thanks!”
Heading over to my bed, I grabbed the picture. “Okay, this is it. If I had some tape I could mark the spot on the wall easier.”
Kirishima laughed, holding up one finger. “I’ll be right back.”
He disappeared for a few minutes, before coming back in with a dark haired boy.
“Dude, what if she doesn’t want me in here?” He asked as Kirishima dragged him in.
I couldn’t help but laugh at the panicked look on his face. “No worries, the door is open.”
“Sero, just chill out man. She said she needed tape.”
The boy, Sero, still seemed tense as he walked in. “I can do tape, that’s my quirk.”
“Oh that’s so useful! But I don’t want to just use you for your quirk, that seems a bit mean.”
Sero shrugged, pulling some tape from his elbow and handing it over. “Long enough?”
I held it up to the picture. “Yes! Thank you so much, Sero.”
“Not a problem!” He slowly started to shuffle out of the room. “I’m gonna go hang out with everyone downstairs, see ya.”
“You’d think they’d never seen a girl’s bedroom.” Grabbing the tape, I hung it on the back, before using a pencil to mark where the picture hanger was.
“Oh that’s so smart!” Kirishima said from over my shoulder. “So you don’t put too many holes in the wall right?”
“Exactly!”
Peeling off the tape, I put it on the wall and handed over the nail. “If you would, good sir.”
“Thank you, madame.” He said, taking the nail with a small bow, making me laugh. He hardened his fist and gently tapped the nail in until it was halfway through. “All good!”
Grabbing the picture, I tilted it until it was perfectly straight.
“That’s a neat picture.”
“Thanks.” I could practically hear the laughter of my little brother and my parents as I looked at the cottage. “It’s where I used to live. It was so peaceful there. Not a lot of noise from the city.”
“You’ll have to get used to noise fast, we’re a loud bunch.” Kirishima joked.
I turned, trying to hide the emotions bubbling up, but I wasn’t quick enough.
“Hey, sorry, I shouldn’t have made a joke, that wasn’t very manly.” He shifted, before holding out his hands. “Hug? You can say no.”
“I’m good. Or, I will be.” I started taking deep breaths, like Ragdoll had taught me. “Thanks for the offer though.”
“If you ever need a hug, no strings attached, I’m your guy.” He pointed to himself.
“Me too.” Mineta's voice came from the hall. He leaned in glancing around a second, before a look of disappointment came over his face. “You put everything away.”
“Mineta, that’s creepy.” I gave him a look. “You are not going to get girls that way. Be nice to them, like Kirishima, and they’ll look at you a lot more.”
“So you’re attracted to Kirishima? Dang it!”
“I didn’t say that. His personality is attractive, yeah, but he’s not my type.” I gave Kirishima a tiny punch on the shoulder. “Sorry, man.”
“No hard feelings here. You kind of remind me of my sister anyway.”
“Good, you can be my bro.”
He fist bumped me, both of us ignoring Mineta, who had slumped onto the floor. “We should go introduce you to everyone else, come on!”
We walked out into the hall, with me nudging Mineta out of the room before I closed the door. Another door clicked nearby as a boy with a bird-like head closed his door.
“Nami Kota, it is nice to meet you.” He pulled his cloak a little tighter around his shoulders. “My name is Fumikage Tokoyami.”
“We were just heading downstairs to introduce her to everyone.”
Tokoyami nodded. “Let’s go. Mineta, are you coming with us or are you going to just lay on the floor?”
“I’m coming.”
A boy at the staircase spun around at our voices, putting a hand on his chest. “She hadn’t met moi yet. Yuga Aoyama. It’s a pleasure.”
“Je suis Nami Kota, un plaisir c’est certain.”
“Another French speaker! C’est magnifique!” Aoyama clapped his hands together.
I rubbed the back of my neck, giving him a tiny smile. “Only a little, mostly greetings.”
“Still! This is wonderful!” Aoyama ran up and grabbed my hand, half dragging me down the stairs. “Come, you must meet everyone!”
“Woah, slow down!” I cried out, laughing as we raced to the common area. I could hear the other three boys behind us, steps thundering on the stairs.
“Why are you being so noisy?” I heard someone ask, as Aoyama and I darted into the room. A girl with plugs on her earlobes had her hands over her ears, and the girl next to her just shook her head.
“The new girl simply must meet everyone by the night’s end.”
The girl with the ponytail nodded, holding out her hand. “Yaoyorozu, but everyone’s been calling me Yao-Momo. And this is Jirou. She’s a little sensitive to noise.”
“Oops, sorry.” I whispered, giving a small wave. “Nice to meet you.”
“Where are the others?” Aoyama asked, dragging me off to the kitchen as Yaoyorozu pointed. “Please meet my new friend.”
“Hey, she’s my new friend!” Mina shouted, pointing the knife she was using at Aoyama.
He held up his hands, before a boy with glasses pushed Mina’s hand down. “That is not proper knife safety, Ashido. Please point it downward.”
Mina grumbled something, but the boy turned to me. “I am Tenya Iida, the class rep. If you need anything, please ask me.”
“Thank you! I will.”
Two boys putting dishes in the oven looked over. One of them waved, saying something that I couldn’t hear. The other grinned. “I’m Sato, and this is Koda, in case you didn’t hear him. He’s very quiet.”
A soft “hello” finally made its way to my ears. I gave them a wave, before the two girls washing dishes looked over.
“Oh, Nami, right? Call me Su.” She blepped her tongue out a little, making me smile.
The girl next to her had super pink cheeks. “I’m Uraraka!”
“I’m Hagakure!”
The voice next to my ear made me jump. I glanced over to see a pair of floating gloves. “Hi. You’re invisible?”
“Yep!”
“That’s so cool!” I turned toward everyone. “I can’t wait to find out about all your quirks!”
“Hmm, we are still missing a few. Wherever could they be?” Aoyama glanced into another room, his face brightening. “Nami, this way!”
I followed back to the common area, seeing a few more boys on the couches. One looked up at me, the scar over his left eye telling me exactly who he was.
“You’re Shoto Todoroki, right?”
He merely nodded. “Nice to meet you.”
“You too! Your quirk is kinda like mine. Just…better.” I glanced at my hands for a second. “You have way better control from what I saw at the festival.”
“You watched the festival?”
“Just the last match, I’d been training during most of it.”
Bakugo laughed. “So you saw me beat IcyHot.”
“I saw that both of you are extremely powerful, yeah.”
A boy with a tail walked over, shaking my hand. “I’m Ojiro.”
“Shoji.” Another boy said, waving a whole bunch of hands.
“Woah.”
“If you think that’s cool, you’ll love my quirk.” Someone said behind me, before a sparking hand entered my vision. “Cool right?”
“Kaminari, please don’t electrocute her.” Aoyama nudged the hand away.
I turned to see a blonde boy grinning at me. The second our eyes met I could feel my heartbeat speed up.
“It is a pretty neat quirk.” Flipping my blue hair over my shoulder, I smiled as I watched his eyes follow the movement.
“The name’s Denki Kaminari.” He took a step closer. “You better get used to the name because it’ll be yours someday.”
“Kamin-”
“Nami Kaminari.” The name rolled off my tongue. “Hmm, I like it.”
“W-what?”
I couldn’t help but giggle at the bewildered expression on his face. “What’s wrong? Not used to girls flirting back?”
“Not really.” He rubbed the back of his neck.
I flashed him a smile. “Better get used to it then.”
I heard a chorus of “ooh”s behind me as a blush crept up Kaminari’s neck. Leaning in, I whispered, “You look adorable when you blush.”
The line had the desired effect as he turned even redder and started sputtering.
“Um, hi.”
I glanced over to see a boy with green hair waving. “I’m the last one for you to meet. I think. Izuku Midoriya, or Deku.”
“Midoriya! You’re the one who saved my brother a few days ago.” I ran over to him, bouncing on my toes. “Thank you so so much. You’ve changed his thoughts on heroes for the better. I’ve tried but…he needed to see a real hero in action I guess.”
“Oh it wasn’t - I just wanted to make sure he was okay.”
I nodded. “Exactly! What a true hero would do.”
“Yeah - yeah I guess.”
“Class! Dinner is ready. Please make an orderly line.” Tenya looked so serious as he instructed the class, who ignored him and crowded into the kitchen.
“Some hot food for some hot stuff.” Kaminari gave me another flirty grin as he gestured for me to go ahead of him.
I couldn’t help but smile as Uraraka handed me a plate.
I was gonna like it here.

So there's this one thing that's been stuck in my head. What if Reaper, 76, and Genji came across a mermaid reader. And they couldn't talk in English or any other language. All they knew was "sea speak". And they appreciate the boys coming and spending time with them. So to show their gratitude they bring fish, Pearls, random "treasures" they find in shipwrecks. ("Treasures such as random rusted forks, pottery, kind of like the stuff from little mermaid") and they end going on date.
Hey all, I only got around to doing the one for Gabriel and halfway through 76. So here's Gabe!
*
You loved to relax by the seaside in the evenings. It was quiet, peaceful and the stars were beautiful. You sat on the sand, twirling your hair, staring up at the stars and taking in the scent of the fresh air. 
A man who was walking along the beach caught your attention and you quickly hid behind one of the columns of the pier. 
"Are you alright there, miss?" came a gruff voice. 
You couldn't quite understand what he was saying but you knew he was talking to you. You peeked from behind your hiding spot and stared at the man who slowly walked towards you. He was handsome, wearing shorts and an open shirt.
He knelt beside you and looked you over, checking you for any injuries. You tried to keep yourself hidden and shimmied away from the stranger. 
"What's your name?" he asked. 
Name? That word was familiar to you. You shyly introduced yourself, tucking a loose hair behind your ear. 
"What a beautiful name," he responded with a charming smile. 
You smiled back, knowing what the word beautiful meant. You looked at him questioningly, tilting your head. 
"Name?" you asked. 
"Gabriel," he said, placing his hand on his chest in introduction.
You suddenly heard his stomach grumble and you looked at him, concerned. He placed his hand on his stomach with a chuckle. 
"Guess I'm hungry," he said, scoping the area for a place to eat. "Would you like to-"
When Gabriel turned to look at you again, you were gone. Panicked, he scanned the area and when he couldn't see you, stepped into the water, calling your name. You suddenly resurfaced, holding a fish and handing it to him. 
"Oh, thank you..." Gabriel said, taking the fish from you. "You're… you're a mermaid, aren't you?"
He held the fish, looking at the proud smile you bore. You nodded, raiding your tail and swishing it around. The moonlight on your scales, water on your skin and your beachy hair was a beautiful sight to him.
"I have to go," Gabriel sighed. "Can I see you again?" 
You looked at him, puzzled. You didn't understand.
"Um," Gabriel pondered.
He knelt down and began drawing in the sand. He drew a sun, moon and pointed. 
"Tomorrow?" he asked. 
You understood and nodded, beaming at the idea of seeing him again so soon. 
"Then it's a date," Gabriel nodded with a smile, pleased that he got his idea across and stood. He walked back from where he came, fish in hand. 
The following evening, you sat in the same spot, staring from afar as people walked along. People hand in hand, children running around and people walking alone. Among the people walking alone, you spotted the handsome stranger from yesterday. 
Gabriel walked over to you, beaming. He had a bag in hand and sat beside you on the sand. 
"Hello," he said, giving you a small wave in greeting. 
"Hello," you replied, reciprocating the wave. 
"Hungry?" he asked. 
You remembered the word from yesterday and nodded, realising you were in fact hungry. 
"Excellent," Gabriel smiled, rummaging through the bag and producing two plastic containers which contained food that seemed familiar to you.
You raised the food to your nose and sniffed. 
"It's sushi," he explained. "Fish, but with rice and seaweed." 
You slowly raised the fish to your mouth and nibbled. It was delicious! You scoffed down the rest of your food and turned away from Gabriel, grabbing the wooden box you'd found in a shipwreck some time ago and presenting it to him. 
"What's this?" he asked, surprised. 
"Thank you," you said, watching as he inspected the ornate box. 
"This is beautiful, thank you," he said. 
He gently set it aside and wrapped his arms around you in a hug. This was an unfamiliar embrace but it was welcomed. Gabriel's body was warm, toned and strong and you didn't want to let go. Gabriel looked down at you and hesitantly placed a hand on your cheek, studying your face. 
"Beautiful," he murmured. 
You blushed and he grinned at your bashfulness. You sat in each other's company for hours and Gabriel taught you a few words. You were a fast learner and he enjoyed how you beamed when you got a word right. Eventually a cool chill blew in and Gabriel shivered. 
"I should get going," Gabriel said. 
You knew what this meant and you tried your best to hide your disappointment. 
"I'll see you tomorrow?" you asked. 
"I'll see you tomorrow," Gabriel confirmed with a smile. 
Gabriel arrived to see you the next evening. And the evening after that. And even the evening after that. In fact, ever since the night you met him, you had seen him every night. 
"I don't know how to do this," Gabriel confessed after a couple of weeks.
"What do you mean?" you asked, not knowing what he was referring to. 
"How to be with you," he sighed, laying back on the sand. 
"You are with me," you responded, even more confused before his brief explanation. 
"I know," he said with a small smile. "But you live in the ocean and I live on the land."
You bit your lip. You understood what he meant now. Gabriel didn't know this but you could go onto land, but it would be permanent. You couldn't go back to the sea once you'd decided to become a human. 
"Gabriel," you said softly. 
"Yes?" he asked, turning to face you and brushing your hair behind your ear. 
"I could come with you…" you said slowly. 
Gabriel sat up abruptly, taking your hand in his. 
"How?" he asked. 
"I have to spend three days away from the ocean and my tail will dry up and turn into human legs. If I do this… I can't be a mermaid anymore," you explained, staring out at the ocean. 
Gabriel, hearing the last part of your explanation, dropped your hand and sighed. 
"I can't make you do that," he said with a sigh.
"I want to," you said. 
"What?" Gabriel asked, not believing his ears. "You'd leave your family, your home and everything you know?" 
"For you… yes," you said, placing a hand to Gabriel's cheek. 
Gabriel sighed happily and placed his hand over yours. You leaned forward and softly pressed your lips to his. 
"Take me home, Gabriel" you said softly.

Tumblr media
"Oi. Shortie. Wake up."
Your eyes fluttered open to see a shirtless Ban facing you, pointing your cheek. Your eyes widened and you quickly sat up. Ban laughed at you, pointing at you mockingly.
"Haha, very funny," you said, rolling your eyes. You pouted and rubbed your eyes. You looked out the window to see that the sun was setting. You turned to look at Ban. "You didn’t get any clothes?"
He rolled his eyes. "You think that any of your guys’ clothes fit on me? I’m like twice as tall has the Captain."
You laughed. "Good point." You dug through your drawers to look for an outfit for the Sins’ "celebratory reunion party." Ban sat on the bed, waiting.
You turned to face him, growing slightly self conscious. "What are you still doing here? You’re not gonna go outside or something?"
"Awwh, are you shy?" Ban teased, raising an eyebrow.
Your face blazed red and you stuck your tongue out at him. "Idiot!"
"You're the one that came to bust me out of prison," Ban said, raising his eyebrows at you.
"You're the one who got yourself in prison! Which, by the way, was a stupid decision," you retorted, pointing a finger at him.
"Yeah yeah, whatever." He leaned on the bedpost and smirked. "Hurry up and get ready so that we can get me some clothes already," he said.
You groaned as your cheeks flushed red. "Yeah but don’t look!" You threw a pillow at him as he cackled.
"I won’t look, I won’t," Ban laughed. He flopped onto the bed face first and stayed there. You rolled your eyes and smiled at his silliness.
"Okay. I’m ready."
Ban got up from the blankets and yawned dramatically. "Took you long enough. I was already falling back to sleep under the... blankets..." His eyes widened as he looked at you.
"What?" You asked, raising a brow at him. You wore a black monochrome outfit consisting of an off-shoulders long-sleeved top with a corset, shorts with chains hanging from the sides, a belt, and 3 inch heeled boots. You fixed your hair to be nicer than usual and had matching earrings and a necklace.
"Um, hello? Ban?" You said, waving your hand in front of him. Ban blinked a few times and hid his face behind his hand.
"Come on, dumbass. We’re gonna get me some clothes," Ban said, standing up and walking to the door of your room.
"What are you gonna do? Mug someone and steal their clothes?" You asked sarcastically, rolling your eyes.
Ban turned to smile cheekily at you.
"Wait—no I was only joking. Ban. Ban!"
He was already opening the front door of the Boar Hat. "Hurry up, idiot!"
You groaned and stomped to the front door. "I’m coming, you dumbass!"
•••
"Okay, Elizabeth. Let me officially introduce you. This is Ban, the Fox Sin of Greed," Meliodas said, showing Ban, who now wore red leather pants and a matching jacket with steel beads embedded on them, to Elizabeth. Elizabeth was lying in a bed due to her injuries she got from a fight with a Holy Knight.
"Nice to meet you," Ban said, grinning as he sat on top of a barrel of beer.
You stood by Diane, watching the scene that was happening.
"Uh, where did you get that outfit?" Meliodas asked Ban. Your eyes widened and you and Ban made eye contact. You fake coughed into your fist.
"Uh—It was a fluke," Ban said quickly.
Not too long ago...
He was already opening the front door of the Boar Hat. "Hurry up, idiot!"
You stomped to the front door. "I’m coming, you dumbass!"
You strolled through town together, your thumbs hanging onto your belt. Ban sauntered next to you. You two appeared to be a very weird duo: a well-dressed woman and a man who was hardly dressed at all.
A few villagers that you passed would stare at you two—some making comments on how attractive you looked and that they had never seen you before, and others wondering why there is a half naked man walking with you.
"Hey, look at that! That guy’s naked," a man said, snickering to his friend. He wore red leather pants and a matching jacket that had steel beads embedded in it. You looked to see the 'I’m so done with this' expression on Ban’s face and cackled.
"'Hey, look at that! That guy’s naked,'" you mocked, cackling.
"That lady with him is pretty hot though," you heard him whisper again. You groaned and cringed at the comment. Ban huffed and turned around to look at the two. Specifically, the one with the red outfit. Even more specifically, the one who made that comment about you.
The man with the red leather outfit heard Ban turn around and he glared at him.
"What are you looking at, you swine?" He sneered at Ban. You raised a brow as Ban's eyes narrowed in annoyance. You two looked at each other, then turned to look at the red leather guy with matching smirks.

"—Speaking of introductions," Ban said, trying to change the subject. You laughed at his attempt. "It’s been a long time, Diane."
"I’d have been perfectly happy if I’d gone 100 years without seeing you," Diane said, turning away from him. You laughed at her.
"I’m Elizabeth. Please pardon me for not getting up," Elizabeth said from her bed. Ban got up from the barrel and walked to her bedside.
"Not at all, Highness," he said. "Our order doesn’t stand on ceremony." He bowed, making you pout with a hint of jealousy. "Let’s all be friends, the five of us."
"Don’t you mean six, buddy?" Hawk said, going unnoticed by Ban.
Ban looked at you and raised an eyebrow. "Are you out of it, idiot? There are only five."
"That wasn’t me, dumbass," you yelled, swatting his arm.
"There are six! Are you sure you don’t have a screw loose, buddy?" Hawk said again.
"Who said that?" Ban asked, looking thoroughly confused.
"I did," Hawk said, standing by Ban’s feet.
Ban’s face instantly changed to pure terror. "THAT PIG IS TALKING," he screamed, jumping back from Hawk. You fell to your knees, laughing loudly.
"You’re freaking out over that now?!" Hawk yelled, making you laugh even harder.
"No way! A pig that can talk like a person?! That’s really crazy!" He yelled, backing away from Hawk. You tried to stop laughing, shoulders shaking from the effort.
"I’ve got it! You’re King, aren’t you?” Ban said, pointing at Hawk. "That must be it! You were cursed and you finally turned into a real pig!"
You were now laughing hysterically, tears falling from your eyes as you occasionally gasped for breath.
"Guess again," Diane said, deadpanning.
"King is dead. According to rumor, anyway," Meliodas said.
"I’m warning you. I’m no ordinary pig," Hawk huffed. "I’m Sir Hawk, Captain of the Order of Scraps Disposal!"
"Oh, WOW!" Ban exclaimed. "I’ve never heard of that order before!"
You could no longer laugh. You writhed on the ground as you continued to cry and gasp for breath.
"Have you made your introductions?" The doctor guy asked. "Eat your dinner before it gets cold!" He was the one who was actually hosting the party after you guys saved his daughter.
"Let’s eat," Meliodas said, smiling widely.
"Don’t start without us, Captain," Ban said, running to the table.
You smiled at the two as they ran to the table and started getting food like two giddy little kids. You got up from the ground and started dusting yourself off. Your cheeks hurt from laughing and smiling so much.

"C’mon, don’t hold out on me, Captain Hawk," Ban slurred as he laid on Hawk, his feet dragging behind them. You covered your mouth to keep yourself from laughing as you watched them from a safe distance. Ban was absolutely wasted.
"Teach me, Master," Ban exclaimed. Your shoulders started shaking.
"Do something about this guy," Hawk shrieked. "Y/N help me!" You were 
"Ban, don’t overdo it," Diane said.
You turned to look at her, cackling. "He’s already wasted! We're too late!"
"Y/N," Ban slurred, staggering over to you. He stumbled a few times until he finally rested his forehead on your shoulder, breathing heavily. You snickered.
"Y/N, have some beer," he yelled, forehead still resting on your shoulder. "Come on, it’s good!"
"Why? So I can end up like you?" You laughed, knocking the back of his head.
"It’s funnnn," Ban slurred. He looked up at you and smirked, his face flushed. "Unless you’re too scared~"
You felt your eye twitch at that. You scoffed and crossed your arms. "I’m not gonna drink, thank you very much. In case you’ve forgotten, we have to share a room and I would like to be sober while having to deal with you and your drunk ass."
"Nehhh. You’re no fun," Ban slurred. He grabbed your wrist and twirled you around while slightly staggering, causing you to laugh at him.
"Father! Look at the sky," Sennett exclaimed, pointing up at the sky.
You and Ban looked up to see shooting stars flying across the sky. Your eyes widened as you took in the beautiful sight. A smile slowly made its way onto your face.
"It’s just like a passage from one of Britannia’s old poems," Sennett’s father said in awe.
"'When shooting stars streak across the sky in the form of a cross, Britannia will face her darkest hour. This is a trial, preordained in the ancient times. And it will herald the beginning of a holy war between the guiding hand of light and the bloodline of the darkness.'"
