The day you left your hometown was a blur.
Everything had melded together in a mess of the grief of losing your parents and being torn from the only place you had ever known. You were young enough that your aunt had decided that you would do better in a new town, away from the constant reminders of your parents. That town being Hawkins, Indiana, where she lived.
You could hear the removalists boarding up windows downstairs, moving furniture into the truck parked in your driveway. You were sat in the corner of your bedroom, curled into yourself between the end of your bed and the wall, making yourself as small as possible. If you tried hard enough, maybe you could just disappear.
There was a soft knock on the door, and you didn’t need to look up to know that it was Ian.
Ian had been your best friend your entire life. His house sat opposite your own, as it had since you were born.
You heard the door push open, soft footsteps creeping closer until he sat in front of you. You didn’t look at him.
“I’m sorry you’re leaving,” he said, his voice cracking with his pre-pubescent drop. You had made fun of him for it mercilessly in the past, but now, you could only think about how you would never get to hear it again.
Your eyes clouded with tears, and he hesitantly reach out and placed a hand on your shoulder.
“We can still write to each other,” he tried again, and you knew that he had tears in his own eyes. “And I can call you, too. My dad says he won’t mind the bill.” Your heart ached as you recognised he was trying to comfort himself as much as he was you.
You sniffled. “I don’t want to go. I hate that she’s making me leave. I hate her.”
“You don’t mean that,” he said. Even at 13, he was wise beyond his years. “She’s your aunt.”
“She’s still taking me away from you.” You finally looked at him, and his own face had tear tracks running down his cheeks.
“We’ll still be friends. Plus, you’ll make new friends, too.”
You sniffed again, wiping at your cheeks. “Do…do you promise?”
Ian managed a smile as he unfolded something in his hand. You hadn’t even noticed he had anything. “Always,” he said, handing you a photo of the two of you from when you were little.
+
A pounding on the door had you waking up well before you had wanted to.
“Eddie! I need your help!”
You groaned and rolled over, pulling the blanket closer as you kicked Eddie’s legs. “Your son is here,” you grumbled.
Eddie huffed, not moving. “It’s the weekend. He should be annoying Harrington on the weekends.” His voice was thick with sleep as he slung an arm over you. “If we ignore him long enough, he’ll go away.”
Apparently, Eddie was choosing to ignore the fact that Dustin Henderson always got what he wanted.
“I know you’re in there! If you don’t come out right now, I’m breaking the window!”
Eddie pulled you closer for a second, before finally conceding. You cracked an eye open as he stood shirtless, stretching his arms above his head, giving you a clear view of his back. Your eyes drifted over his tattoos, before landing on the new scars littered over his back, chest, and arms.
They were healed, thankfully, but the raised scars were a reminder of his close encounter with Death itself. When you had gone with Steve, Nancy, and Robin to kill Vecna, you had made him promise to stay safe; a promise that he had failed to keep when he chose to save Dustin by sacrificing himself.
You could still hear your screams echoing in your ears as you returned to find him lifeless in Dustin’s arms, blood leaking from every part of his body. It was touch and go for hours, sitting beside him as he was stitched up while he was still unconscious.
You still had nightmares about it.
When Eddie turned to look at you, he saw your eyes on him and leaned forward, capturing your lips in a soft kiss that said everything he didn’t have to. I’m here. I’m OK. I love you.
And then he was at the front door, shouting at Dustin.
The scene was familiar, and you smiled before rolling over and falling back asleep.
+
“I don’t understand,” you said, spooning a mouthful of yogurt into your mouth. “Why are you letting Dustin be the DM?”
Eddie sighed from where he was sitting at your dining room table, books open all over the surface, eyeing you on the couch. “Because he needs to learn how to run a campaign properly, and he can’t do that without practice.”
You frowned. “And you’re doing all the hard work…why?”
“Because he is a total shithead and can’t seem to understand the logistics.” He ran a hand through his hair. “Kid is the dumbest smart person I’ve ever met.”
You had played D&D with Hellfire a few times for One Shots, but had never had to actually worry about how things worked in the long term. Eddie, however, had done this more times than you could count, and it still left you in awe of how his mind worked and his ability to foresee each tiny little change and adjust the story accordingly.
It was hard work, but he made it look easy.
You watched him flip through pages and write down different bits of information, his tongue darting out to brush over his lips. His hair was fluffier today, freshly washed, and you desperately wanted to run your fingers through it.
He caught your eye and raised his eyebrows. “What?”
You shook your head. You were long past feeling embarrassed for eyeing up your own boyfriend. “You’re so pretty.”
He brushed your comment off playfully, rolling his eyes, but you could see his pink cheeks as he looked back down, smile on his face.
You had your own small smile as you picked up his copy of The Hobbit, the calm quiet falling over the two of you. You enjoyed this, the soft domesticity that you two had formed over the past two years. You knew Eddie loved it, too.
It was broken, however, when a hesitant knocking on the door had the two of you looking at each other.
“Are you expecting someone?” he asked.
It was supposed to just be you and Eddie all day until that evening when the whole gang came over for a movie night. Steve and Robin having unlimited access to new movies meant that movie nights were commonplace now.
You stood and made your way to your front door, and as you pulled it open, you jaw nearly hit the ground.
“Ian?” you said, but it was more of a question.
The man was standing on your doorstep, backpack slung over his shoulder. He looked completely different from the last time you had seen him. His blond hair that had been buzzed for so many years as a child was longer, hanging just above his neck, and his teeth were straight, no doubt from braces that must have been and gone in the years since you had been gone.
He flashed a welcoming smile and hadn’t changed. “Hey, Y/N.” You couldn’t pull your eyes away from him. “Are you going to let me in?” he said after a moment, and you shook yourself out of your thoughts and threw yourself into his arms.
His backpack fell from his shoulder, and he just laughed as he hugged you back.
“What—what are you doing here?” you asked when you pulled away. “Your last letter said you were in—”
“—Maine. Yeah. I finished my college scout earlier than I thought and I decided to catch you on the way home.”
You furrowed your brows. “Indiana isn’t exactly on the way home.”
He shrugged. “Close enough.”
His eyes flicked behind you just a moment before you felt an arm snake around your waist.
You looked up to see Eddie assessing Ian. “Eddie,” you said, resting your hand on his chest. “This is Ian.”
“Ian? As is Ian from home?” He raised a brow.
You nodded, turning back to Ian. “Ian, this is Eddie. My boyfriend.”
Ian grinned as he held out a hand to Eddie. “Nice to meet you, man.”
Eddie stared at his extended hand for a moment too long, and you thought he wasn’t going to shake it, but he did. “Yeah, same. Y/N’s mentioned you a few times.”
Ian’s face dropped almost imperceivably, but you caught it just before he slipped on his usual smile. You could see Ian giving Eddie a once over. You had no doubt that he was surprised at his appearance. Eddie wasn’t quite the type of guy you had fawned over when you were a kid flipping through magazines, and while you had mentioned that he was a metalhead in your letters to Ian, you doubted the tall, long, shaggy-haired guy was what he pictured.
“Come in,” you said, stepping back closer to Eddie to gesture to your living room.
Ian sat on the couch, Eddie slipping in the armchair opposite him while you grabbed some water and glasses from the kitchen.
You poured a glass and handed it to him. “So, what are you doing here?” you asked, handing another glass to Eddie, who just raised his eyebrows as he took it from you before you plonked yourself at the opposite end of the couch.
“I’m here for you. And to see you and this town you can’t stop talking about.”
“Do you want me to show you around?” you asked eagerly. It felt slightly surreal. Ian was a reminder of your previous life, and now he was here in your current one. It felt like a weird mix that you never thought would happen.
Ian nodded. “Absolutely.”
You turned to Eddie, who had been silent, just watching the two of you. “Do you mind if I take Ian out today? I know we have plans later, so I’ll be back—” You turned back to Ian suddenly, leaning over and gripping his arm. “—Oh! We have a movie night tonight. You should totally come! My friends Steve and Robin—you remember me talking about them?—well, they’re bringing over a new movie, and the kids will be here; Dustin, Will, Mike, Lucas, Max, everyone!”
Ian was already nodding vigorously. “Hell yeah! I’d love to.”
You stood, mind whirring with everything that you wanted to show Ian, before looking back to Eddie. “You still have to do your D&D stuff, right? I can take Ian now and meet back here before everyone else gets here?”
Eddie was standing and moving for the table where your keys were before you could get another word out. “Nah, it can wait. I’ll drive.”
You blinked. Normally D&D took precedent over everything. “Yeah, sure.” You turned back to Ian, who was standing, backpack slung over his shoulder. “You ready?”
+
Eddie was sure that his brain would explode if he heard Ian laughing at something you said one more time.
He knew you were funny; it was one of the biggest reasons he loved you, but you weren’t that funny.
So far, he had driven you around nearly everywhere in Hawkins, the two of you giggling like schoolgirls in the back seat as you talked about things you had never even mentioned to him before.
Then, the two of you were jumping out of the car, you pulling Ian along before Eddie could even put the park brake on, disappearing into the arcade.
Eddie tried not to let the growing feeling of resentment climb any higher, but he was finding it increasingly difficult to keep it at bay. He knew that Ian had been a big part of your life before Hawkins. You had talked about him so many times, he practically knew the guy inside and out. And yet, having him here, on his turf? Yeah, that was chafing on his male pride.
He caught Steve’s eye through the glass of Family Video and entered the store.
“Who is that?” he asked immediately.
“Ian,” Eddie grumbled, leaning back against the counter.
“As in Ian?” Eddie only grunted in reply, and Steve only looked in the direction of the arcade. “Weird. He’s different that I expected.”
“Who is different to how you expected?” Robin said, suddenly appearing from the back room.
Steve glanced at her. “Y/N’s friend Ian.”
“He’s here?” she asked. “What does he look like?”
Steve nodded towards the arcade. “Like Billy Hargrove on steroids.”
Eddie grimaced. Great. As if he needed that comparison floating around.
“Oh,” Robin said, leaning on the counter beside Eddie. “that’s why you’re moody.”
“I’m not moody—”
She tsked. “I beg to differ. Look at the stance on you.” She gestured to his crossed arms and rounded shoulders. “That is a moody stance if ever I saw one.”
Eddie sighed, looking at the ceiling, willing whatever god was there to give him strength.
+
You were on a high when you got back to your place late that afternoon.
Ian had been just as excited as you all day. It felt like you were two kids again, racing down the streets of your hometown, getting into mischief. When you and Eddie had dropped Ian at his motel, he had promised to be at the movie night tonight.
You had still been rambling as you entered your place, Eddie following behind you. “I just can’t believe he’s here,” you said as you entered the kitchen, beginning to get ready for everyone to be at your place in a few hours.
Eddie slumped down at his place at your dining table. “Neither can I.”
“He said that he’s going to stay for the next few days before heading back home.”
Eddie scoffed. “Home.”
You paused, pulling out a popcorn bowl and placing it on the bench. “What?” When he didn’t say anything, you looked at him, raising your eyebrows. “Eddie.”
Eddie twirled his pencil in his fingers as he flipped a page. “This is your home.”
You frowned. “What are you talking about?”
“I mean, this is your home. Here. In Hawkins.” There was an edge to his voice that you didn’t like.
“I know.”
“So, why do you keep referring to it at as home?”
You blinked, trying to follow his train of thought, but getting derailed about a mile away from it. “Because it is? It’s just as much my home as Hawkins is.”
Eddie gripped the pencil so tight his knuckles turned white. “Right. I mean, why wouldn’t it be, with someone like him.”
“What is your problem?” you questioned, your voice rising.
Eddie leaned back, crossing his arms. “My problem? I guess I just didn’t expect to have to drive my girlfriend and a random guy around all day.”
“You didn’t have to do that. I said you could stay here—”
“—Oh, and what? Just thinking about all the stuff you two were doing all day? Yeah. No thanks.”
You could feel every drop of joy and excitement about today leaking from you with every word Eddie said. “Where is this coming from? You like Ian. You always said you wanted to meet him one day.”
“Well, maybe I didn’t think about the fact that he would be all over you and you just wouldn’t care.” The ice in his tone was lethal, and you physically took a step back despite the large distance between you.
“So, what? You don’t trust me?” You couldn’t keep the hurt from your voice. “Is that why you offered to drive us?”
Eddie didn’t answer. He just kept his gaze on the table. But it was all the confirmation you needed.
“You’re an asshole, you know that?”
“Yeah, well,” he said, and you thought he was going to continue, but he just sat there, content to let the silence speak for him.
You stared at him as your heart clenched painfully in your chest. “Fuck you, Eddie,” you spat, letting the words hang there with your heart, silently praying that he would say something.
But he didn’t.
And so, you turned away from him, continuing to get everything ready while trying desperately to keep the tears that clouded your vision at bay.
+
When everyone arrived at 6:00, you welcomed them into your house like normal. You and Eddie had spent the past two hours pretending that each other didn’t exist. You hoped that the tension between you wasn’t palpable enough that the others noticed.
You thought that he would apologise, but he hadn’t. He’d just ignored you the whole time, not even looking at you.
It turned out that Ian had no idea what the kids were talking about most of the time, but he engaged in conversation regardless, trying his best to keep up.
Dustin, Mike, Lucas, and Will were in the midst of trying to explain D&D to him and he nodded along attentively, but you could see the information was just going straight over his head.
Once Nancy and Jonathan arrived, Steve put in the movie. It was some new Tom Cruise action movie that was supposedly good. You knew Nancy would love it, and normally you would, too.
Everyone took their usual spots, spread out across the floor and multiple couches while Ian sat in the armchair.
You paused, staring at the two-seater couch that you and Eddie normally shared. He was already sitting there, looking straight ahead at the TV. If there was literally anywhere else to sit, you would have taken it gladly, but there wasn’t. So, you took your seat beside him, curling your legs beneath you and leaning as far away from him as possible.
If the others had somehow missed the fact that something was wrong, they would definitely be able to tell now. Normally, the two of you were practically in each other’s skin with how close you sat. You caught him glance at you out of the corner of your eye, but you didn’t look at him.
You tried to pay attention to the movie playing, but you couldn’t stop thinking about the fight between you and Eddie. Of course, you guys had fought plenty of times before, but nothing had ever felt like he had questioned your relationship. You had been talking about your future just weeks ago; he had even broached the topic of getting married at some point, to which you had agreed. It wasn’t a proposal, but more of a confirmation that you were both with each other for the long haul. It seemed so long ago after today.
Three movies later, and everyone was asleep. Everyone except you.
Nancy and Jonathan were curled up together. Max and Lucas were the same. The others were in different positions across the floor.
You stood, trying not to disturb Eddie, who had his head resting on the armrest, eyes closed, with that deep breathing you had come to know so well.
You pulled open a drawer in the kitchen, grabbing a pack of cigarettes and heading to the front door. Cracking it open just enough to let the smoke out, you leaned against the frame and closed your eyes after lighting up and taking a drag.
“I didn’t know you smoked,” Ian said, and you snapped your eyes open. He leaned against the diving wall, blocking out your view of some of the living room.
You took another drag. “I tried to kick it a few months ago. I only really do it when I’m stressed now,” you replied, dropping the ash outside.
“Are you?” he asked and amended when you looked confused. “Stressed, I mean.”
“I guess I am,” you said, eyes flicking over to Eddie’s sleeping form. He always looked so peaceful when he slept. Like nothing could possibly faze him.
“I’m glad you found a family, Y/N,” Ian said after a moment. And you looked at him. “They seem like really great people.”
You couldn’t stop the small smile that graced your face as you looked at the mismatched group spread out across your living room. “They are.”
“I was worried about you, you know? Your letters seemed really sad for a while there.” Ian’s voice had dropped, and your heart clenched. You had been really sad for months, before you became friends with anyone. Before Eddie. “But then you started talking about him.” He nudged your shin with his foot. “After that, I knew that you would be fine.”
Your eyes softened as you eyed you boyfriend laying on the couch. “I don’t know where I’d be without him," you admitted. Your voice cracked as you continued, “Sometimes I think about my life without him—” You didn’t mention the fact that you had faced monster and death on multiple occasions, but you could explain around the truth. “—I almost lost him, a bit over six months ago. And it was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. Everything I see in my future, he is right beside me. I can’t remember a time where I ever thought he wouldn’t be.”
You wiped away a tear that escaped your eye as you finished off your cigarette.
“He loves you, I know it.”
You swallowed. “Maybe.”
Ian didn’t say anything, and you sent him a sad smile as you headed upstairs to your bed.
+
Everyone had left by the time you woke.
When you walked downstairs, the living room was empty and everything had been packed away. It was like no one had even been there.
Your back door opened, and you turned to see Eddie. He froze when he saw you, half-way in the door, empty popcorn bowl in hand. He cleared his throat and closed the door after a moment before heading into the kitchen.
You stared after him.
He washed up the bowl, setting it in the drying rack. “Everyone left about an hour ago,” he said, and you glanced at the clock. It was nearly 10:00am. “Do you want something to eat?”
You looked back at him to see him leaning against the sink, looking at you. You shook your head.
Eddie didn’t move, he just stared at you. You could see the wheels turning behind his eyes. “I—I heard you last night,” he confessed, and you closed your eyes, biting your lip. You didn’t want to think about it.
You heard him move, and he was in front of you.
His hand came up to rest on the side of your neck, just as it always did. “Open your eyes,” he asked, voice soft. “Please.”
When you did, you saw how close he was. His brown eyes were misty as they scanned every inch of your face. You own hand came up to rest on his forearm.
“I’m sorry,” he said. “I’m sorry for yesterday. For making you think I don’t trust you. That was me being…insecure.” He brushed his thumb across your jaw. “But I’m the most sorry for making you think that I would ever stop loving you.” He stepped closer, so that your chest was flush against his. “I love you. More than I could ever try and say.”
He pressed his lips to yours in a soft kiss that nearly took your breath away with its sincerity. When he pulled away, you said, “I’m sorry if I made you upset yesterday, too. I was just excited.” You placed your other hand on his chest, right above his heart. “You don’t have to ever worry about anyone else. You’re it for me, Eddie Munson. No one else could take my heart from you.”
Eddie grinned, a proper grin that had you kissing him again.

She Don’t Wanna Marry Me
Lorraine Day X Reader
Tumblr media
A/N: I would like to apologize and thank everyone for the likes comments and reblogs. You guys are awesome and I suck 😭 having some writers block but I’ll try to get to those requests and finish what I started for now here’s a random one shot I wrote in the middle of the night
3rd Person POV
7 years old
You watched as a snot nosed boy pushed a pretty little girl with a pony tail, overalls and freckles into the sand.
It wasn't until teary big brown eyes met yours that you stepped into action. You cocked your fist back and let it fly smiling as it made contact with the boys face. His cry catching the attention of your teacher who grabbed you by the arm dragging you to her office.
The brunette in the sand box sniffled as she sent you a small smile and wave.
It was after school as you sat waiting for your mom (who you knew wasn't coming anytime soon) when she came next to you.
You both sat on a bench you still as her feet swung from one after the other.
"My names Lorraine." You glanced to see her not looking at you but rather her shoes.
"Y/n." You mumbled.
"I'm sorry I got you in trouble."
"S'ok. Brian's a dick." The girl looked at you wide eyed.
"Daddy says I shouldn't say words like that." You shrug.
"He's not here." You smile cheekily at her. The girl stares at you for a beat before she continues.
"He said my voice was weird and my freckles were ugly."
"I like your voice and I think your freckles are pretty." The girl smiled as her feet kept kicking her eyes watching as her shoe laces would bounce with her.
"Lorraine!" An older woman stepped out of her car walking up to the two of you. The girl jumped up from the bench hugging the woman around her legs making her laugh. "Hey baby. How was your day?"
The sound in her voice was thicker than her daughters and she was very pretty. You looked back to the girl seeing the similarities between the two.
"I made a friend today!" She smiled up at the older woman before bringing her to you.
The woman looked down at you smiling slightly concerned as she noticed the quickly emptying parking lot.
"Well any friend of Lorraine's is a friend of mine! What's your name sweetie?"
"Y/n L/n, ma'am." She laughed.
"Don't call me ma'am it just makes me feel old." You nod not meeting her gaze. "Where's your parents sweetheart?"
You shrug. "Sometimes mom forgets to get me."
Her eyebrows furrow.
"And what about your dad?" You shrug again.
"I don't know him." Mrs.Day softly placed a hand on your shoulder.
"Do you know how to get home?" You nod. "Come on then I'll give you a ride."
You stand up slinging your back pack on your shoulder, grabbing Lorraine's as well. Her mom smiles at the action helping you in the car as her daughter bounced excitedly in the back seatbelt already on.
You tell her mother how to get to your house and she pulls up to see a car in the driveway house lights on. She notices besides the directions you were quiet as her daughter retold your meeting today. As you go to leave you thank her quietly almost reluctant to leave the car.
Mrs.Day waits until you get inside seeing a shadow greet you before you wave politely and shut the door.
"Rainey baby?"
"Yes mama?"
"I want you to keep an eye out for your new friend alright? Y'all stick together." The small girl nodded bouncing in her seat.
13 years old
"Say it again asshole." You grit your teeth pulling the boy closer to you. The boy in front of you trembling in your hold on his shitty t-shirt.
"Y/N!" A small hand grabs your shoulder
forcing you to loosen your grip. "Let him go. You can't get in anymore trouble."
You look into deep brown eyes sighing, pushing him away from you. "Beat it."
He doesn't hesitate to run from you quickly grabbing his bag as he flips you off. You scowl before turning back to his savior.
"C'Mon Raine." You whined. She crossed her arms over her chest raising one eyebrow at you. You huff grabbing her bag as the bell rings. "Alright." Your shoulders slump slightly. "Lemme walk you to class." She smiles linking her arm through yours as she laughs.
"Mama always said underneath that tough exterior is a giant teddy bear." Your scowl deepens but you say nothing as you keep walking next to her preparing for an hour of monotone voices and bullshit. "Remember the day I made you marry me?"
You glance at her lips almost turning up into a smile.
"I also remember a very demanding doll yelling at us to kiss." Olive cheeks bloom red as she pushed some of her hair behind her ear.
"Well I remember someone promising to love me forever and ever and never marrying anyone else." Mischief swirled in her eyes and she dug her fingers into your side: it was your turn to flush embarrassed as you thought back to the day you two had been "married". Her father and mother had a field day helping the two of you make Lorraine's dream wedding.
The backyard full of flowers a few chairs and her father even walked her down the isle to you.
You cough shrugging her off. "Whatever, I'll see you after class?" She nods smirking and taking the bag from you. Her smirk falls as she points a finger to scold you.
"I expect you to go to class after this Y/N you know how upset mama and daddy will get if they hear you're ditching...again." You nod, the girl always knew how to get to you. She smiled knowing she'd won leaning forward to kiss your cheek.
You turn quickly so she can't see your smile as you run down the hall. Your pace getting even faster as you hear the warning bell.
18 years old
"So everyone I would like us all to raise our glass to Lorraine who's going to university."
You raised your cup before bringing it to your lips, Mrs.Day's sweet tea tasting bitter as you watched everyone celebrate Lorraine's soon to be departure.
The girl in question saddled up next to you. "You know it's not too late right?"
You looked down at her wanting to tell her. It is too late, you tried applying to the same school as her but your scores weren't as high and you refused to take advantage of her parents. It was enough they took you in and cared for you since you'd met them. You'd never be able to repay them if they covered your college tuition.
You shrug. "You know I'm not meant for college."
Her eyes softened as she looked at you. "I know that's what your mom told you, but that doesn't mean she was right."
"So miss big shot...maybe I should get your autograph now before you become a big time author." Her smile grew wide as you said this but she shrugged.
"I doubt it." You shook your head.
"You're gonna forget about us small town folk once you get to the big city."
"I would never." She looked up at you, a comforting silence fell between the two of you and you felt the tension growing as her gaze went from your eyes to your lips. You leaned in pausing to see her reaction, and for a moment you swore she was leaning in too.
"RAINEY! COME GIVE YOUR GRANDPA A HUG!" You sighed licking your lips as you leaned back, the girl quickly regaining her composure before she went to greet her other family members.
"Love is blind and lovers cannot see the pretty follies that they themselves commit." Mrs.Day appeared next to you.
"Shakespeare." She looked to you not surprised that you'd known where the quote came from, he was her daughters favorite author.
"It's not too late." You almost laugh at the irony. Like mother like daughter.
"She doesn't know but I tried." You turned to her mother. "I spent hours, nights, days studying but I just kept falling short." The older woman's eyes softened as your confession pulled at her heart strings.
"We can-"
You shook your head. "You all have given me so much I refuse to be more of a burden to you."
"Now stop right there." You straightened up as the usual soft tone in her voice grew harsh. "Mr. Day and I love you like our own and we never-"
"I know but.." you sighed. "You guys should focus on Raine and her needs, I made sure I got a job so I at least wouldn't be mooching off you too much by staying here."
You looked to see the girl smiling and laughing with those around her. Mrs.Day looking to you and then back to her daughter who'd always seemed to keep a close eye on you without you knowing. When one wasn't looking the other was. She shook her head after the day you two had met you revolved around one another like magnets the further anyone tried to hold you apart, the stronger the connection would pull you back together.
21 Years Old
Your foot bounced as you sat at the table with Mr. and Mrs. Day awaiting the guest of honor, their daughter. Over the years she'd visit home here and there but you'd always seemed to just miss her whenever she'd come by. At first you two would talk every day and night but the calls came less frequent, you'd be lucky to get a text on your birthday or if she'd heard good news through the grapevine.
Your breath caught at the sight of her walking through the front door and you felt a smile work it's way up, you went to stand but quickly fell back as a tall scrawny boy followed behind her. His nice attire and constant eye twitching telling you all you needed to know.
"Mama, Daddy I want you to meet RJ my boyfriend." She hasn't noticed you were there yet her parents insisted they'd surprise her with your presence. Mr. Day looked to the boy sizing him up as Mrs.Day just stared. You cleared your throat.
"Hey Raine I hope you don't mind me joining." The small girl looked up wide eyed and incredulous.
She threw her arms around your neck almost choking you in the process. Her mother still staring with a look of confusion as her father said nothing. Deciding to play nice you shake the boys hand.
"Nice to meet you RJ." He gulped smiling gratefully to you as he shook your hand wincing at the grip.
"You too uhh...."
"Y/n. I'm guessing Lorraine hasn't really mentioned me huh?" The realization stung as you'd gone to sit back down you'd happen to glance at the girls finger seeing a diamond catch the light.
"Umm baby is there something you want to tell us?" Mrs.Day had caught sight of it before you did and planted one hand on yours hoping to comfort you.
"We're getting married!" She squealed. Mr.Days mustache twitched as he stared in silence. You cleared your throat.
"This feels like a family thing so I'll just excuse myself. Nice to meet you Reggie." Mr.Day finally cracked a smile as Mrs.Day held back a laugh.
"It's RJ." He murmured. You nodded.
"Right, good to see you Lorraine." You nodded at her. Her eyebrows furrowed it was rare you called her by her name when addressing her.
"But Y/n-" Her mother cut her off to help you.
"So tell us how did you two meet?"the sounds of the restaurant faded as you quickly drive to the closest bar you could find.
Once you pulled into the parking lot you sat for a moment fists pounding the wheel.
"FUCK!"
22 Years Old
You read the same invitation over and over until the words were permanently etched into your brain. Their wedding was set just a few months from today, you felt numb as you thought back to the countless drinks and the one night stands you tried to have to erase the girls hold on you. Unfortunately for you it never left, not when you'd met girls who were the exact opposite of everything she was. Not when you'd move out of her parents house insisting it was time for you to stand on your own two feet, and especially not now when her wedding invitation stared back at you, taunting you.
Your phone buzzed as you'd received a text from Mrs.Day
Come to the house I know you haven't had a decent meal in months and Lorraine's here
Sorry Mrs.Day gotta catch up
On work
You put the phone down quickly immersing yourself in meaningless tasks.
"Hello?" The timid voice accompanied by the soft southern accent was unmistakable and you silently cursed to yourself when you bumped your head shooting up in surprise.
You grabbed a towel wiping your hands before following her voice.
"Hey Lorraine." You cleared your throat as you rubbed the back of your neck. The woman smiled softly at you as two girls next to her came closer.
"Ooooh Mouse you didn't tell me your childhood best friend was such a cutie. Hi baby I'm Bobby." Pearly whites shined at you as the next girl came closer eyeing you like a piece of meat.
"I'm Maxine." She purred holding her hand out, you shook it being polite before looking back to Lorraine.
"They're my bridesmaids and roommates. They wanted to meet you but mama said you were busy so she gave me the address." She looked around a proud grin on her lips. "You always had a thing for cars." You nod again a slight smirk to follow.
Bobby eyed the both of you nudging Maxine as she did so, the former already catching drift of what was going on. The two shared a glance before turning to the scene in front of them. Lorraine stepped closer looking at you up and down a mixture of interest and concern.
"You look good, mama said she's worried about you eating though." You shrug laughing.
"It's a physical job and you know how your mom is."
"We'll she's worried about you." A pause. "I am too." You look into soft brown eyes and feel your shoulders slump. You sigh beginning to slide your overalls off your shoulders displaying a greasy tank top.
"Ok, I'll go to the house to get dinner when I finish." The same look that made you cave in high school gets you again. You groan. "Alright Raine I'll go now and close up shop sound good?"
She smiles victorious as the girls behind her begin giggling. You follow them out as Lorraine makes sure you're right behind them. You climb the bike you've spilt blood sweat and tears on making Maxine whistle.
Lorraine feels odd watching her friend walk up to you and place her hand on your shoulder fingertips dragging slowly down before making their way up the path again.
"Hey girl you ok?" Bobby gets her out of her own head as she nods.
"YOU GUYS GO AHEAD IMMA CATCH A RIDE WITH GREASE LIGHTNING!" Lorraine hears you huff out a soft laugh. Your rev the bike twice before you pull up next to her.
"We'll meet you at the house Raine." She watches as you race to her house.
"Let's go." She says harshly to Bobby marching to her car.
She finds you standing in her driveway waiting patiently as Maxine lays across your bike trying to get to your attention. You straighten up as she gets out the car smiling slightly confused as to why she’s pouting. The only other times she’s done this was when you were younger and wouldn’t follow her plans. The door swings open warmth and familiarity wrapping around you.
Her mother greets you with a hug and kisses all over your face and it occurs to her maybe she wasn’t exaggerating, you haven't been home a lot either.
Mrs.Day smacks your shoulder. "You've had me worried sick."
The girls melt as they watch you soften up and hug the woman. "Sorry."
Mr.Day laughs seeing you get scolded by his wife. "I told ya she'd be coming for your hide. Now come here and give your old man a hug too."
You smile as you both try to crush each others spines.
"Now you..." Mrs.Day pulled you away. "Need to get ready, go shower that gunk off and be sure to wear something nice."
When you came back down Maxine let's out a slow whistle. "And I thought you looked good before."
You rubbed the back of your neck clearing your throat. "Thank you."
Lorraine stares hard at Maxine slowly getting more and more agitated by her behavior around you. This doesn't escape her mom or Bobby's attention. It also doesn't slip past Bobby that displayed proudly by the stairs is a picture of you and Lorraine in what seems to be a wedding as kids. She already felt Lorraine was out of RJ's league but to know she had someone waiting for her just solidified her predictions. She watched Lorraine walk up to you quiet as always. Church mouse was her nickname for a reason but at the moment she was anything but. Lorraine lays a hand on your shoulder effectively taking your attention away from anything that isn't her.
She watched as she used that hand to pull you into the kitchen and prepare you a plate of food. She cocked her head to the side as she gauged your reactions, she knew Lorraine well enough but you were another story entirely and yet she felt as if she may have already figured you out. The way you moved with her, gave in, and followed her she would've thought you were her fiancé. Especially with how attentive she was as you sat to eat, you going as far to give her some bites as you saw her eyeing certain foods on your plate.
"Rainey baby where are you?"
And just like that your bubble is broken, Bobby watches as you suddenly grow stiff and lose your appetite. The minute Lorraine leaves the seat next to you, she fills it.
"I got a question for you honey…”You look up surprised before nodding at her to continue.
"How long you've been in love with Lorraine?" She pulls out the picture of your first wedding. You smirk sadly chuckling a bit as you stroke the picture.
"I don't think there was a time when I wasn't in love with Lorraine."
"What happened?" You shrug.
"She don't wanna marry me."

Bleeding into Nightfall | Klaus Mikaelson
masterlist
Tumblr media
summary: life is gloomy and you’re tired of repetitive days that don’t get better. you say goodbye to the world forgetting about once person in paticular—niklaus mikaelson
pairing: fem! reader x klaus mikaelson
words: 3k
a/n: story of my life with the love of my life
tw: heavy descriptions of depression, suicide!!!
Tumblr media
Waking up every day was like waking up from the calm and facing the storm. Days bleeding into nightfall. Day after day starting to warp into each other, each day as listless as the day before. Mystic falls’ grey gloomy clouds constantly above your head as you managed to get out of bed. You kind of found common ground with autumn mornings. You enjoyed them more than any other morning but enjoy is a strong word for someone like you. Autumn mornings are dark that make it look like it was three in the morning. A time where nobody in this world expects a single thing from you. Just you alone existing in this world.
You brush your teeth.
Comb your hair.
Put on an outfit.
Make yourself look presentable so that nobody would be able to tell just how empty you felt. How draining it was getting ready when you could easily wear the same pair of clothes day and night. Forget about your appearance as you just try to pass the day.
Leaving the house you took one last look in the mirror with the same face you wish you could rip off, but instead you put on your best genuine smile that didn’t make you look like a manic sociopath and closed the door to make your way to school.
13 hours and 30 minutes to go.
Out of 24 hours you only feel okay for a couple. And it’s not even that you feel good, you just feel okay. You just try to get through the day. It’s been like this for a while. Time wailing past you, time wailing before you that has you trapped. You wake up. Go to school. Eat and sleep. Sometimes you don’t even eat or sleep. The easiest tasks seem impossible to complete. Why do you have to waste such a long amount of time? You’d be perfectly fine with only living eighteen years instead of eighty. You don’t do anything all day but you’re exhausted each time you lay down in bed, ready to shut your eyes. Still, you drag yourself through the day like cattle; unable to break free from what's holding you back.
The walk to school isn’t too long. Rustling leaves on trees, crunching of dead leaves that were kicked up into the air with each step you took, the thought of simply being a leaf on your mind as you barely noticed the person ahead.
‘I’m so sorry— Caroline…hi. I’m sorry,’ you lifted your head from the ground to see Caroline’s smile. ‘I wasn’t really paying attention to my surroundings,’
‘Yeah, I could tell.’ She gleamed, hooking her arm into yours as you continued walking the last blocks.
It was an okay walk. Your ears picking up different sounds of your surroundings as the mixture of sounds seemed to be blocking out your thoughts. It's too hard to concentrate on them.
‘Do you have anything planned for your outfit on Saturday?’ Caroline broke you from the chattering of your mind, hearing her voice bringing you back to the present.
You stared at her. Your eyes on her, your face hanging from your head as you stayed quiet, pressing your lips against each other as her smile turned to a frown.
‘Y/n, come on,’ she moaned, the sparkles in her eyes duplicating as she stared back at you. Her personality reminding you of the warmth of a fireplace on a cold evening. ‘It’s the school dance! It’s so important that we make these memories to look back on them when we’re old and wrinkly,’
‘I think I have enough memories.’
‘What do you mean?’
‘I mean I just don’t really feel like going, that's all…’
‘Why not?’ She came to a halt, taking her arm from you so she could stand perfectly square of you, her arms folded in front of her chest as the wind blew her hair from the back.
‘I don’t know,’ you shrugged, ‘I just don’t want to go.’
‘Not even to please Klaus? I mean no offence—‘ (Caroline’s favourite way to start being offensive) ‘But no one knows what he sees in you. I mean he’s this grumpy old maniac that terrifies the vampire species and you’re just…you. A human with a normal life. A nice girl that just, in comparison to him, lives a boring life.’
‘I don’t know, Caroline,’ you huffed, picking up pace again, readjusting your school bag. Feet sluggishly bringing you forth. ‘He’s nice to me and he makes me forget certain aspects of my life but even for him I wouldn’t go.’
‘What’s wrong with you, Y/n?’ Caroline held you back again, stopping once more. ‘Are you okay? I’ve noticed that you seem off for a while now and I didn’t want to pry but I cannot hold myself back any longer. What happened? What is it that’s making you so glum all the time?’
‘I’m okay, Caroline,’ you half smiled, ‘I think I’d just rather go home and watch a movie or something.’
Caroline opened her mouth but before she could say another word you cut her off, ‘And before you offer yourself as my sleepover company, I think I’d rather be alone.’ You started walking again, the school doors only a few minutes away. ‘Besides, I know you want to be a good friend by wanting to come over but you and I both know that deep down you hoped I would say no because you want to go to the dance, and that is fine. Make those memories, Caroline! Your life has so many blank pages left to fill and I don’t want to hold you back! Go and have fun.’
Caroline immediately pulled you into a hug. Her perfume hitting your nostrils as you placed your arms around her, a quick smile forming on your lips.
‘Come on now,’ you took hold of her arm, ‘We need to get there on time otherwise Rick will have us doing detention the rest of the week.’
‘Do you think he dislikes us?’
‘No, I actually think it’s his way of showing that he cares,’ you let out a giggle that infected Caroline as you walked onto the school premises just as the bell rang for first period.
School was the same every day. Go to class. Pay attention. Write down notes. Stare outside of the window, the teacher’s voice fading into silence as your mind powered through to absent you from life.
Everyone seems so content with life? Why can’t I? What is there to be happy about?
‘Miss Jacobs, the action is here. Not outside.’ Mrs. Clark said, snapping your head to the front of the class. ‘If my class is boring you’re welcome to go outside.’
‘I’m sorry,’ you cleared your throat, sitting up straight. ‘I’m sorry.’
‘Now, where was I?’
10 hours to go.
When the school bell rang for the last time, you started to clear your table and cram all your stuff into your bag, people pushing past you as everyone tried to leave. Out in the hall you quickly waved Caroline, Elena and Bonnie goodbye, ready to go home and sit in silence.
Plugging in your headphones you slowly started to walk home, music blasting through your ears and you tried to block out any sound from the world.
Trees and cars passed you, barely anyone on the pavement. You kept walking when you noticed a person in the distance; dressed in dark colours, stance confident and a face you could recognise from a mile away.
‘Hi.’ You gave him your best smile, not too much, not too little.
‘I hear there’s a school dance this saturday,’ he accompanied you towards your home. ‘I was hoping that I could ask you to the dance.’
‘I’m actually not going.’
‘Why?’
‘Don’t feel like going, that’s all.’ You shared a quick glance.
His pupils dilated, eyebrows drawn together, the skin between them wrinkled. ‘Are you okay, Y/n.’ He gently grabbed a hold of your upper arm, the frequent blinking of his eyes telling you that you made him worry.
‘I’m fine,’ you chuckled, your crooked smile paired with dull, sparkless eyes not in your favour.
‘Don’t give me that bullshit.’
‘Klaus, please. I’m not in a mood to argue right now.’
‘Arguing?’ His eyebrows drew his eyebrows even closer. ‘We’re just talking.’
‘Look, Klaus.’ You stopped in your tracks, allowing yourself to stare up at his face. Lips plush, eyes squinted as his focus was on you. ‘I see that you want to go to the dance with me and if I were up to it I would, but I would just rather go home. Watch a movie. Be alone. Get away from all this,’ you sighed.
‘Okay,’
‘Okay.’ You breathed, ‘See you around, okay?’ You got on your tiptoes to place a quick kiss on his cheek before walking home.
‘Yeah, see you around.’ Klaus mumbled as you were already out of earshot, leaving him confused as to what was happening to you.
6 hours to go.
When you arrived home you went straight upstairs. Throwing your bag into a corner of your room as you wasted no time to change into more comfortable clothes like your lounging outfit (a pyjama). Down the stairs you walked into the kitchen, taking a bag of doritos and a bar of chocolate from the cupboard, a glass of water to wash down the junk and placed them onto the coffee table. Snatching a blanket from the living room trunk, you made yourself comfortable and put on the TV, ready to watch the Big Bang Theory and waste your time.
‘Y/h honey,’ your mother’s heels sounded through the living room. ‘It’s date night so we’ll be home quite late.’
‘Mhm.’
‘Make sure to get some healthy carbs and protein in you too, okay darling?’
‘Yeah, mom. Have fun.’ You said, your eyes haven’t left the screen.
‘See you later.’
The door closed. Silence swept the house. Your TV the only thing that sounded within the walls. Sighing, you took a row of chocolate and let out a half-sounded giggle as you continued watching TV.
1 hour left to go.
8:50pm; it was time to go upstairs. You put away the stuff you used, made sure the windows and doors were locked and the lights turned off. The floorboard creaked with every step you took. Going into your bedroom you halted in front of your dresser, picking up the framed family portrait that you took on a trip to the family cabin on christmas day.
Your lips started pressing together, your fingers on the back of the frame scraping against the wood as a blink of your eyes let the first two tears roll down your cheek. Your heart twisted, aching with every shaky breath you took, a sting of melancholy growing inside your throat.
4 minutes to go.
You placed it back on the dresser, taking another glance at your room before taking off to the bathroom where you closed the door and took a long look in the mirror: messed up hair, red puffy eyes that blinked uncontrollably, the face of a person you never got to know.
Wiping away your tears you opened the cabinet and grabbed the packet of razors you purchased just last week in preparation for tonight.
Taking a deep breath you climbed into the bathtub, letting your back fall against the wall, a new surge of emptiness growing as you realised that you were going to be utterly alone when you went.
The cold metal pierced into your soft skin like fresh butter. The warmth of your blood no longer flowing like it normally did but instead poured onto your skin. Quiet drips spilling into the bathtub, staining your clothes on the way. Once your blood started spilling you didn’t feel any great pain, it hurt, but it was manageable. You hoped it wouldn’t, however seeing all the blood that was streaming from your cut, made your heart start to beat at immense speed.
Then the sweating started to begin. Your body was damp, head to toe and toe to head. You thought back on the days you went running. Every time you finished you’d have the same, wet, and uncomfortable sweat sitting on your skin, soaking into your clothes. A deeply unpleasant feeling started to make itself noticeable, heart pounding in your chest, throbbing with pain, but there was nothing you could do. Neither did you want to. You wanted nothing more than to disappear from the earth’s surface. You didn’t need to be here. Trapped with nowhere to go. No one would miss you. You barely had anyone but yourself and that was all you needed. Even in death you felt comforted by your own thoughts. A very strong headache, accompanied by a loud, white noise ringing almost made you regret your decision. The room spun like crazy before your vision started fading out; the ringing got louder as darkness came for you…
Tumblr media
Klaus made his way to your house. He didn’t like the way you were acting before you left. Your behaviour hasn’t left his mind since you last spoke. He turned into your driveway and jogged up the stairs, ringing the bell to hope that you would open up to him. To let him make you feel better. To let you know that he would do anything to see you happy.
But you never answered.
‘Y/n, open the door.’ Klaus raised his voice, his fist hitting against the door.
No answer.
‘Y/n!’ He slammed the door again.
Still, nothing.
Klaus focused his hearing to see if you were home when he suddenly heard shallow breaths; breaths he knew belonged to you. Without wasting another second Klaus kicked down the door, his vampire speed taking him to the location of decreased breaths. Almost taking the bathroom door off its hinges, Klaus found you sitting in the tub; red staining your body, head hanging sideways.
‘Y/N!’ He bellowed, falling to his knees, his arms hooking under your lump torso, pulling you out of the tub. The lack of tension in your body making his heart fall into an empty pit.
‘No, no, no, no, no,’ Klaus’ hands grabbed the sides of your face, twisting and turning. Hoping that your eyes would flatter open and greet him with a smile. A smile he held dear to his heart. But they stayed closed, his eyes getting blurrier the longer he fought.
‘Don’t you die on me!’ Klaus bit into his wrists, placing it on your lips, letting the blood flow into your system, his shaking arm staining your lower half of your face red. ‘You do not get to die! Wake up! Wake up…’
You stayed still. Just as lifeless as before you weighed Klaus’ body to the ground, his tears falling to your chest, pulling you close as his heart ached greater than it ever had. His reason to be good went without saying goodbye, leaving him to be alone like he had been for hundreds of centuries.
Klaus has heard thousands of heartbeats stop. Seen thousands of bodies covered in blood. Thousands of dead people. He didn’t know why it was so hard to see you there when he had been through this a million times. He felt empty. Everything about you came crashing down, his hope for hearing you say his name draining into nothingness. Klaus’ breathing grew louder, his chest feeling like it was being filled with water, the same water that spilled from his lashes, staring down at someone he always put first; forever wishing he hadn’t let you go home by yourself that afternoon.
Suddenly your body jolted forwards, gasping for air. Eyes wide as you took a large gulp of air, your chest rising and falling.
‘Y/n?’ Klaus whispered, his hands back on your face. ‘Y/n, y/n, talk to me.’
You coughed in response, droopy eyes making it hard to see your surroundings, blurry vision fading into one big blob of colour.
‘Y/n, say something please…’
‘Klaus,’ you whispered so quietly, lips barely parting as you spoke.
‘Can you hear me?’
‘Yes, what— what happened?’
‘What happened, Y/n?’ Klaus’ voice increased in volume.’You almost died on me!’ His tone shook.
‘Am— Am I a vampire?’ You started to come back to your old self. Your vision clearing up, your ears no longer feeling like a tunnel.
‘No, my blood just healed you.’ He caressed your head, softly stroking your hair.
‘Why did you save me?’
‘Why?’ A frown painted his lip, ‘I care about you, Y/n! So much. You don’t deserve to die. How could you leave me without saying goodbye?’
‘I didn’t want to say goodbye to you Klaus because if I would’ve looked at your face and said those words, I wouldn’t have been able to do it. It would’ve made leaving so much harder.’
‘Look at me,’ his thumb swiped across your cheek, ‘this is the face of someone who will never let you die or get hurt,’
Your heart clenched as you looked at him, tears pooling at your lower lash line. ‘Klaus—‘
‘Please promise me to not leave without saying goodbye first,’
‘You have to promise, Y/n…’
‘What makes you think I don’t want to die anymore, Klaus?’
Klaus stared back at you; empty eyes, no thoughts to be said out loud.
‘Promise me to not kill yourself, seriously? What makes you think I won’t try to do this again? I love you Klaus, I do, but my love is not bigger than my will to live.’
‘Y/n, stop talking…’
‘Why? Because you thought I’d thank you for saving me? I didn’t want to be saved, Nik! I never wanted to. All I wanted was for all of this shit to go away and you brought me back to this shit.’
‘Y/n, please,’
‘Leave.’
‘What?’
‘I said leave!’
‘No!’
‘LEAVE!’
‘NO!’
Tears started streaming down your face, ‘Fuck you, Nik.’ And you stood up to go to your room.
Klaus stayed over the next several days. Sleeping against your closed door as he tried to patch things back up. But it was your decision to make a change, and your decision to forgive him.

Jason 13 au memes part two
Bruce: *slams a door on accident*
Batfam: you slam door on Brood? YOU SLAM DOOR ON BROOD LIKE GROUNDINGS???! OH!! OH JAIL FOR FATHER!!! JAIL FOR FATHER FOR 1000 YEARS!!!!
Jason 13, calling Danny on speed dial: JAIL FOR FATHER!!!!
-----------
Kitty:
Jason:
Kitty: YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU WERE BUILT LIKE A BRICK HOUSE!!!!!
Jason: to be fair, I forgot???
Kitty: speaking of which, hows that going out for you?
Jason: it's been....emotional.....not to mention the whord of shades trying to mother hen me 24/7
Kitty: I've been meaning to ask you about those.
Jason: I thought you wanted to talk about our relationship?
Kitty: we have communication rings, we can do that later. I'm more worried about the tall intimidating city spirit behind you.
Jason: oh that's just Gotham
Kitty:
Gotham: *tall black lady that can kick your ass* ;)
Kitty, sweating:
Jason: don't worry, she's nice. She's just a litte over protective of her kids.
Kitty: there's MORE of you????
----------
Kitty:
The batfam:
Kitty, surrounded by baby ghost cores like stray kittens: I don't know what's worse. How much they look like you or the inane urge to just adopt them all, oh nooooooooooo!!
Jason: now you know how it feels old man.
Bruce: *confused in bat*
--------------
Kitty:
Catwoman:
Kitty: crimes?
CatWoman: hell yes, kitten!
[LATER]
Jason: WHO THE FUCK DYED MY SUIT PINK?!?!?!
--------------
Kitty: you know considering my name it's a little odd that you're the one being all cat like.
Jason, laying his head on her lap while she cards through his hair: shut uuup, it's not like I can ask anyone else for attention like this. It'd be weeeeiiiird.
Kitty: *sighs* better hope you didn't leave your comm on.
Jason:
Kitty: Johnny.
Jason: I can't remember if I turned it off or not
Dick: you know little wing, if you wanted attention you could've just asked-
Jason: SHIT!!!!!!
---------------
Spectra: so are you still dating him or..?
Kitty: you know? We died basically around the same time and we were introduced to each other first before anyone else, so we kinda just stuck together. And really everyone had kinda just started calling us boyfriend and girlfriend, and we just didn't think otherwise to correct them.
Ember: wait, so you two HAVEN'T been dating??
Kitty: it was never official, if anything it was an ongoing bet to see how long it would last before people started to notice. We're more like.....siblings but not quite. Or emotional support ghosts for each other.
Spectra: that....actually makes a lot of sense. You two are hardly seen without the other and you haven't exactly been dead for long, so it would make sense you're still settling down from the trauma of dying.
Kitty: did you just psychoanalise me?!
Spectra: You basically gave it to me on a silver platter!! It's a force of habit!!!
--------------
Jason: hey squishy
Blob ghost in Johnny 13's bike: ?

Jason: WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?!?! IT'S A FREAKING BLOB GHOST, IT'S NOT LIKE IT HAD A NAME BEFORE!!!!!
Danny:
Jason:
Danny: I'm telling frostbite-
Jason: Don't you DARE!
--------------
Dick: Hey, Jason? Can you come over? I need your help.
Jason, muffled by a humming noise: sorry, I don't think that'll be possible at the moment?
Dick: what do you mean by that Jay, and what is that sound?
Jason, swallowed into the shadows and getting fussed over by the shades: would you believe me if I said I got readopted by shades?
Dick: U Wot?
---------------
Batman: Jason, what's this about shades adopting you??
Jason: look I didn't ask for it, it just happened.
Bruce: and are they....good? Parents?
Jason: well they like putting me in shadow jail alot.
Batman: Shadow jail?????

Jason: .....are-are you JEALOUS?!
Bruce:

--------------
Dick: ok, so to recap! *pulls out a projector and a Google slide document*
Dick: Jason got reanimated by something going awry and messing with reality, accidentally reviving Jason. *click* He gets scooped up by Talia and revives him fully. *click* this leaves him with powers and uncontrollable emotional problems *click* apparently he can talk to ghosts and they are often friendly to him back. *click* so much so, according to Jason himself, he has been adopted by the entirety of the ghost population in Gotham *click* including the SPIRIT of Gotham herself.
*it's a vague drawing of what Gotham looks like*
Dick: any questions?
Tim: yeah, uh. Who's that?
Danny: hi! :D
Dick: no clue, next question!
Danny: I'm phantom! I used to beat Jason up when he used to go by Johnny 13!
Batfam:
Cass: does the Lazarus pit taste like lemonade?
Dick: no, it tastes more like sprite.
Duke: wait-how do you-
Dick: NEXT QUESTION!
--------------
Jason, 'living on his own':
The Shades: :)
Squishy: :)
Gotham sometimes: :)
Kitty: :P
Danny: >:)
The various bird and/or bat: :)
Damien: :
Ember: lmao I'm the older one now! >:D
Spectra: (usually only when Kitty shows up)
Skulker: (target practice training) >:)
Technus: (built Johnny's bike believe it or not) >:)
The box ghost: (this man has dad energy, change my mind) >:)c
The lunch lady: (every growing ghost needs proper calories!) :)
Jason: ...............I need a bigger house....
-----------------
Batman steps into the batcave to see green fire everywhere, Jason in his ghost form, and Damien trying to stab him with a sword.
Damien: it was Todd's idea!
Jason: Damien, you fucking snitch!
Batman: language!
Damien: yeah Hood, watch your fucking language!
Batman: DAMIEN!
(Reference to this)
--------------
Jason: remind me why you're here again?
Danny: what? Like I can't visit my favorite Rouge?
Jason: I thought that was plasmius?
Danny: he's my arch nemesis, not a rouge! He doesn't count!
Jason: if you say so. But why am I your favorite, and I'm pretty sure I no longer qualify to be one of your rouges?
Danny: dude you're the only one I can have a serious conversation about! Vlad's a fruitloop!!
Jason: yeah but at least he knows what he's taking about half the time.
Danny: psh. 'Half the time'
Danny:
Danny: you can still turn into Johnny, right?
Jason: I mean if I concentrate real hard I guess? But it'll take a lot of energy.
Danny: wanna convince Vlad he's going insane?
Jason: only if I can record it.
Danny: DEAL!

A day off with Kunimi
Manager Miniseries
─Aoba Josai x fem!reader
─Summary: You're not in the mood for training and Kunimi seems to be on the same line of thought as you
─Warnings: none
12 < 13 > 14
Tumblr media
You were walking calmly to school, very sleepy, you almost fell or crashed on the street several times, it had not been a good choice to stay up late watching movies. You had no choice but to endure the morning, or that was what you had planned to do if it weren't for a certain first year boy, who was kicking a can with an ass face outside the gym.
"Where has Kunimi gone? Also why is (Nn) so late?"
Oikawa's voice echoed throughout the place, you and Kunimi could hear the team's confusion due to the silence at the entrance, both looked at each other without wanting to enter. Kunimi was the first to step forward, grabbing your hand to get out of there, trying not to let them hear the footsteps. A light laugh escaped your lips, thinking that you would no longer have to suffer being among a bunch of sweaty boys today, you mentally thanked your junior, tightening the grip on your clasped hands.
"I'm sorry for dragging you, I just figured you didn't feel like putting up with training today either."
"No, It's ok, I think I'll run away with you today."
He just nodded and you walked to a cafe near the high school, at your request, you were going to die of sleep if you didn't drink some caffeine immediately. When you left there you two decided to walk near the school, although finally ended up leaving, skipping a day wouldn't hurt.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Honestly, my house, but it's far away and I'm lazy."
You laughed at how sincere he was, then he thought that walking through a small market that wasn't that far away would be good, since you could entertain with the things they sold there. When you arrived, you tried on some oddly shaped glasses from a small stall, you forced Kunimi to put on the typical glasses with a fake mustache to take a photo.
He just sighed every time you stopped to look at any absurdity, like children's toys or flashy things. He only stopped when he was in front of a sweets stand, they sold a lot of different types, but he only noticed some in particular, salted caramels, they were his favorite. You noticed ir and smiled, buying several of those candies, sharing them with him, which at first he refused but then agreed to take some.
He had to hold your hand so you wouldn't get lost among so many people, he was getting tired of being there, especially because there was more and more crowd and it was becoming difficult to walk down the narrow street without crashing into someone. In fact, at the end of the street someone pushed you so hard that you even knocked Kunimi to the ground.
"Oh fu-, look where you're going, you idiot!" The lack of sleep mixed with the stress of all those people made you explode, but your focus was on Kunimi who was cleaning his pants "I'm sorry, someone pushed me, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, it hasn't been much different from when we have to do dives in training"
He feigned disinterest, even finding a funny point to the accident, you sighed at his attitude. You finished seeing things, deciding to stay in a park sitting next to a pond, watching the ducks fight to get a piece of bread that an old woman threw them.
"What a beautiful couple."
You two looked at the old lady, you had not realized that you were still holding hands and you separated immediately, causing the lady to laugh, after the embarrassing scene you left there, tyou had had enough.
"Okay, now I really want to go home, want to come?"
"Sure."
He wasn't going to stand walking from one place to another aimlessly anymore so you simply went to the boy's house, who just wanted to rest lying in his bed with some good blankets and a movie, even if you accompanied him it didn't bother him, at this point he just want to rest and do nothing.
He let out a contented sigh as he closed the door to his house, telling you where to leave your slippers while you got used to the hospitality of Kunimi's house. As you spent the morning walking around the market, you arrived just around lunchtime, although no one was home, and you had to improvise something, that is, you ordered something for delivery. While the food arrived, you started arguing about what movie to watch, because you are both iPad kids and you need to watch something while you eat.
"For the last time I'm not going to watch Barbie of Swan Lake or Meet the Robinsons."
"Kuni-"
"No."
"But-"
"No."
You sighed exhaustedly, thinking about other movies, a light bulb went off in your head, and you decided to play an old reliable, Home Alone. Kunimi brought a couple of blankets, at some point in the movie you were practically hugging. Halfway through the movie his mother burst in, mocking her son for bringing a girl home, commenting on what an adorable couple you made. Kunimi had to kick her out because his mother and you started talking about him when he was a baby, because she show you an old photo. The movies ─because you decided to see a couple more─ went by so fast that you didn't even realize that it was already quite late.
"Honey, why don't you offer my future daughter-in-law a stay over?"
Everyone there knew that this was not a question but a statement, rather, an order. You almost choked upon hearing her, even though she was just teasing you, you went on to join forces at dinner to embarrass Kunimi instead, that family album can be a real danger in your hands.
"Leave the door open Akira!"
He rolled his eyes as guided you to the bathroom, lending you a change of clothes so could sleep comfortably. You could only laugh, deciding that you had had enough for today, you threw onto the bed next to Kunimi to rest, staring at the ceiling in silence listening to the little sound that came from Kunimi's phone, the first yawn was the signal for you to decide to go to sleep once and for all, you raised your leg, hitting the boy's foot.
"Good night Kunimi."
"Night..."
You smiled as you closed your eyes, taking seconds to fall into your deepest dreams, hoping that today is not the day you start talking in your sleep. He looked at you for a few seconds before putting down the phone and turning off the light without wanting to stay up late, tomorrow it wouldn't be so easy to escape from training taking into account the number of ignored messages in the team's group chat.

Hi!!
This is my first time asking something but could you do a Ron weasley x reader where they both are Quidditch players maybe different houses even!!
and they have fun in the quidditch closet! (fluff or smut whatever you want!!)
The most smut i will do is PG-13 lmao, we are a family friendly blog over here. Am I good at writing anything remotely smutty? No. so this what you get. 
This was going to be the worst practice ever, you've been begging for friendly matches to stop since you got on the team but they never were quite friendly. The last friendly game was against Slytherin and they did not hold back. You walked out of that practice with a black eye and a sprained wrist. At least this was just for fun, and since having fun was one of two reasons you wanted to do quidditch in the first place you try to make the best of it. Especially since the other reason is on the team you're playing against. 
Hurrying out of your dorm you stumble your way to the quidditch field, struggling to lug your equipment around the campus. “Need a hand?” A deep voice spoke over your head. Ron.
“I’m fine.” you said, your broom in one hand and an overstuffed duffle in the other, all dragging behind you. 
“Clearly,” the sarcasm in his voice was obvious. Without warning the bag was lifted out of your hand and you were free to hold your broom without it touching the floor. 
“You know if you keep dragging it like that you're doing to damage the bristles on the broom.” 
You laugh, “what's that gonna do? Make it less aerodynamic?” you ask sarcastically.
“Yes,” he said shortly. “Or you know what you should probably keep dragging it, it'll make it easier to beat you.”
“Please you don't need the help, I don’t try at these things.” Trying to keep up with Rons strides proved to be a bit of a challenge. He was walking at a lethargic speed but the length of his steps were worth 3 of yours. 
“That's too bad I was looking forward to playing you,” he said through a smile. You felt your face grow hot. “And a friendly game means you won’t kick my ass.”
You laughed, “what makes you think I would kick your ass at all?” 
“Your track record,” you looked at him confused. “Do you really not remember? First year? And Second, third and fourth?” You shook your head. “Well I guess the trauma seared it into my memory,” he chuckled.
You rolled your eyes, “oh don't be dramatic. I never did anything that bad.” 
Still smiling, Ron looked down at you for the first time since you started walking, “No, just tackled me a lot.” 
“In first year? When I was learning how to fly? You still remember that?” you shouted mortified as the flood of embarrassment came rushing back. 
“When your crush lands on top of you, your 11 year old boy brain tends to think about it a lot.” he laughed.
“You had a crush on me?” 
“Wasn't it obvious? I nearly failed every class we had together because I was so busy staring at you.”
You tried your best to remember your first year classes, but any of Rons “obvious” behavior was not something your first year self ever picked up on, “I can safely say I didn't notice.”
“Why did you think I needed so much help in every subject?” 
“You're an idiot?” you asked through a muted laugh.
“No, I just spent every class paying attention to you instead of the material. So when you practically obsess over someone and they continuously struggle to balance on a broom, you hope to be put in a position that you might end up with said person on top of…” his voice tapered off. Cheeks red, refusing to make eye contact. He clearly didn't mean for that word vomit to come out, but up until he stopped talking you assumed those feelings had stopped after the first year, but now you're not so sure. 
“So what about second, third and fourth year?” you tried to move the conversation along wanting to casually move past what Ron just said, he was clearly embarrassed and you didn't want to make things worse. 
The two of you reached the quidditch field, the sight of fluttering robes and the distant echoes of laughter filling the air. Ron scratched his head, and avoided your gaze.  "Well, second year was all about the dueling club," he began, trying to regain composure. "Remember when I was petrified? You visited me in the hospital wing. I was so out of it and used to being tackled that I thought you were going to hex me." 
You chuckled at the memory. "As if I would hex you. Besides, I couldn't resist visiting the famous Ron Weasley,” you put on a mocking tone, “you were always up to something.”
“I still am.” he mumbled under his breath. Clearing his throat “in third year I convinced myself you hated me and fourth year, well I spilt my drink on you at the yule ball so I was certain you hated me.” 
You couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. "Oh my god,. How could I forget?” the Yule ball was a bottle of embarrassment you did not want to revisit. No one asked to go with you and the moment you thought a certain ginger was going to ask you to dance he spilled his drink all over you, “You know I stole that robe from professor sprout?”
Ron stopped in his place, “That was Sprout’s?” he raised his voice in shock.
“Yep,” you chuckled, “Do you even remember what it looks like?” 
“Of course I do!” he exclaimed, before calming himself down, “Although in my memory it’s covered in fruit punch.” Ron continued walking to bring your stuff over to where your team was setting up. You noticed how much slower he’d gotten, it was much easier to keep up. 
“I technically didn't steal it, I just borrowed it and had my dormmate alter it a bit.”
“Well they did a bloody good job, you looked hot.” Ron said before he could stop himself, “I-I mean,” he stuttered, “you looked good.” changing his tone.
You smirked at Ron stopping in the middle of the field. "Hot, huh?" you teased, enjoying the rosy tint that crept across Ron's cheeks.
Ron stumbled over his words, "No, not hot. Definitely not hot." trying to backtrack. Your face fell slightly, making him panic even more. “Not that you're not hot! You’re so hot it's crazy!”
Suddenly, in the midst of their walk, Ron tripped over a loose cobblestone and by instinct grabbed you for balance. But instead of regaining his footing, the unexpected momentum sent both of you tumbling forward.
As you crashed to the ground, and somehow you found yourself sprawled on top of Ron, his laughter echoing yours in the crisp air. "You definitely need balance training,” you quipped through laughter, but he wasn't laughing. Your duffle had been flung above his head, and his hands had instinctively grasped for you, firmly planted around your waist, and for a moment, you both lay there, catching your breath and sharing a moment of sheer hilarity.
Your laughter subsided, replaced by silence as you gazed into each other's eyes. “Just like old times, eh?” You tried to lighten the tension. He didn't reply, lost in your eyes seemingly unable to speak. “Ron? Are you oka-”
“Can I kiss you?” he interrupted. Rushing the words as if he had been building up the courage to speak. 
“On the field?” Ron shot up, nearly shoving you off of him. He quickly picked up your things and tried to avoid eye contact. This time he picked up your broom as well and we was off to your team's changing rooms to drop your things off. This time his pace was far from lethargic, he may as well have been running, that would be the only way you could ever keep up with him. “Ron?” you shouted as you jogged after him trying to catch up.  
Once you got to the changing rooms your team whispered at the sight of gryffindors keeper in their rooms. “Here you go,” dropping your things on the side and rushing out. You grabbed his arm. He was red and looking anywhere but your eyes. Your team began filling out the room to begin warming up as they called you to hurry and get dressed. 
You dragged Ron further into the room, “Listen Ron-”
“You don't need to say it, I'm sorry. It was an accident and it'll never happen again. The last thing I ever want to do is make you uncomfortable.” he was rambling, “and you can ignore what i said, i saw a pretty girl on top of me and i wasn't thinking. Not that I think you're pretty! Not that you're not pretty! Oh god-” you crashed your lips into his, an effective way to shut him up. He was tense with surprise before melting into the kiss as you pulled him closer by his shirt, his hand cupped your face, his arm wrapped around your waist drawing you in. He turned you, pinning you against the wall as his kiss deepened. His knee rose up to rest between your legs as you wrapped your arms around his neck. 
The whistle blew outside, pulling you away from the kiss as you hear your captain shouting your name. You sigh disappointedly. You turn back to Ron, who was staring at you, you giggled nervously, “what?”
“I take it back, I think you're very pretty.” You smiled and pulled him in for another kiss.

If Only...
Itachi x  Tsunade’s Daughter! Reader
Okay guys. Hear me out! Just imagine Tsunade has a daughter while she's gone from the village. She and Shizune taught her medical ninjutsu while the reader grew up. This allowed her to master Tsunade’s teaching by the time she was like 15. The reader and Tsunade separate and the reader travels around helping shinobi and civilians alike. That’s how she meets Itachi and Kisame.
This is gonna have slightly suggested themes, but do not plan on going into detail. There will be canon violence and swearing.
Update: if this reaches 30 notes, I will do a part two!!
Update 2: As promised I will try to get part two up by the end of the week, but summer classes me kicking my ass rn
Part two is here
About 2.5k words
Tumblr media
Tsunade still loves Dan and he will always be her only love. But one night she gets a little too drunk and the guy she hooks up with looks a little too much like Dan. Literally Tsunade and shizune leave that village the next day
Tsunade finds out that she’s pregnant on the road. It was quite a shock to both her and Shizune, but she decides to carry out her pregnancy because everything happens for a reason
As soon as you are born, she realizes that had 3rd love. The first being her little brother, Nawaki, and Dan. Shizune and Tsunade raise you together while you move from village to village.
Tsunade was very reluctant in teaching you ninjutsu and the shinobi way entirely because she couldn’t lose her daughter. She decided that teaching you would be good for self-defense and thus she began to teach you the basic of chakra
“Come on, Ma! Pweaaseeee. I wanna be a ninja!!!!”
Now 5 years later at age 13, you are helping Shizune in surgeries and doing minor surgeries and medical treatments with supervision by yourself. Since then you have decided that you wanted to travel and help people.
The three of you stopped at this tiny village and stayed for about 2 years (which has been the longest place you have stayed), before the village became susceptible to a plague that was going on in this part of the land. Tsunade wanted to leave, but you told her that you would stay to help the village. She tried to argue with you saying no and say that you were too young, but the determined look in your eyes that reminded her a little too much of her younger brother made her say yes. After a teary good-bye to Shizune and Tsunade, they left while you stayed and treated the villagers.
At about this time the Uchiha Massacre had already happened and Itachi had joined the Akatsuki. Kisame and Itachi were in the area for a mission. At this point Itachi’s eyesight had started to get worse, but it was very minor and nothing serious.
There was rumor they heard about this “priestess” who could heal anyone. And so they go to the village to find this so-called priestess to find a feisty 15-year old girl lecturing this 40 year-old man on the importance of taking the medicine she made.
Kisame laughs at this because this girl was no older than Itachi at the time and could no way be that good. Originally, Itachi just wanted to check on the rumor because he had heard Pain thinking about recruiting a medic for the Organization. But deciding to see if she could help him
She looked up at him and gave him the sweetest smile and gestured to him to follow her to her small cottage outside of the village. Once they arrive, you tell him to sit down and tell her what he needs to be healed. Kisame ofc makes himself a home on her couch while looking over the house. Itachi mentions the slight blindness in his eyes.
The green glow of your right hover over his eyes to help decide what is actually wrong. You tell him how you can only cure this blindness temporarily and begin to heal his eyes. Once the eyes are healed you tell him how he should come visit when it starts to get worse again but be warned that the more you heal him the less effective it becomes.
He goes to hand you money and you stop him. Ofc he likes “what” you literally brought strangers into your home and willingly healed them without asking for anything. You shrugged your shoulders and said that you will always help some no questions asked and free of charge. So they leave but Itachi still feels somewhat bad about it and secretly leaves you about a hundred ryo in your mailbox. When you find it you sigh, shaking your head lightly with a soft smile.
That’s how you meet itachi. This next time you see him is about 8 months after the first visit. This time he’s alone and you usher him into your cottage and into your designated medical exam room. You begin to heal his eyes and have small talk such as “how is your day” and things like that.
About a week after his visit, you decide to leave the village and travel around the land to help war-stricken villages.
So when he visits you again another 5 months later and you are not there he was so confused. He was concerned because he thought someone kidnapped you or killed you and all these other options. But he began to ask villagers where they were.
“Oh (Y/N), they left the village after the plague. I’m not sure where she went though.”
He continued to dig around until he was able to find you again heading toward the Land of Rain to help the war-stricken citizens. He had a new direction to head in.
You totally ran into Jiraya a couple times during your travels and when you recognized him as one of the Legendary Sannins. You instantly asked if he knew your mother. He was shocked when he found out that his long-time crush had a daughter, but he would you stories about her and you would stare at him in awe
For some reason every village you stopped in, Itachi always found you and soon those small talks turned into things being said in confidence and becoming much closer than acquaintances. You soon made him special eyedrops to use to help reduce the symptoms in his eyes.
You have been treating him for almost two years before he tells you the truth about the Uchiha Massacre. He normally wouldn't tell you at all, but you had this reassuring aura that allowed him to open up. After the story, you brought him to your chest and cried for him because it must have been so difficult for him.
The both of you share this mutual bond of being each other’s confidence, but the next you see him is another couple months and it's kisame. He was carrying Itachi on his back, who had been injured pretty severely. It is very uncommon for a ninja to even get that chance to touch Itachi, let alone injure him to this extent.
You instantly usher him in and have kisame set him down on the operating table. You get to work, but your nerves are getting the better of you and the thought of him dying was in the foremost part of your mind
You save him ofc but when he wakes up you hug him and kiss him. That kiss portrayed every feeling you had for him. The fear of him dying, the relief that he was alive, the exhaustion of the 4 hours of healing you did. Itachi is shook, he doesn’t even think you deserve him. WHen you pull back you blush and apologize and go to walk away until he grabs your wrist and pulls you in for another kiss
Kisame is just there and kinda walks out of the room to give you both privacy but will totally tease Itachi when he has the chance. But either since than you and Itachi had this mutual understanding of each feeling’s
You then make a name for yourself in the Land of Rain, that catches the eye of Pain, who now wants to recruit you to the Akatsuki as their personal medic. At the Akatsuki meeting when your name is brought up about having you recruited. Itachi can help but be shocked and ofc Kisame opens his mouth
“Isn’t that the name of your little girlfriend, Itachi?”
Ofc itachi glares at his partner because the organization wasnt supposed to know about you. Pain wanted him to recruit you, but uncharacteristically he tells Pain that he wasn’t going to. AND that shocked everyone. Pain says that he will go and that both Itachi and Kisame will join him.
You had just finished healing this band of merchants who had been attacked when you heard an unknown person at your temporary home. You open the door to see Pain staring down at you, but you recognize the robe and welcome him in. You saw both Kisame and Itachi behind him and ofc that causes a big smile on your face because you haven’t seen Itachi for a while.  
You tell them to sit on the couch, while you finish your work. You were about to offer tea, when you heard a scream coming from your medical room. You offer an apologetic smile and tell Itachi to grab the tea. He nods and moves to your kitchen and to rush off to continue treating the merchants.
After that, Pain tells you that he wants you to join the Akatsuki and help pave the way to everlasting peace and all that. You simply tell him no and he is not surprised, but shocked at how quickly you shot him down. He didn't even finish his speech.
“Yea… No thanks Mister. I don;t really like what you guys do because often the people who know on my door are victims of your doing”
But you do say that if any member showed up at your door you would take them in. You also made your own rules such as that you want them to find you a more permanent place in the Land of Rain and would like some sort of compensation because it is very difficult to find medicinal herbs in the Land of rain. Pain agrees and a month later you move into your new place that has more than one medical room and is big enough to fit at least 5 people in.
Timeskip about one more year and you have traveled back into the Land Of Fire and heard a rumor that your mother had become Hokage. You ofc have to see this for yourself. You arrive after the Sasuke retrieval Mission so this village was still slightly destroyed from Konoha Crush
When you arrive at the village, you stare at it in awe because your mother told stories about Konoha, but you never saw it in person. It wasn’t until you were suddenly surrounded by Anbu Black Ops telling you to state their purpose. You tell them you are here to visit the Hokage
At first they were wary because the village had just been destroyed and you took note of this by saying that you are here to help with the injured and wanted permission. With that they lead you to the Hokage’s office and knock on the door.
The door opens and to reveal your mother, Shizune, a blond kid, a pink-haired girl, a kid you literally looked like he was falling asleep standing up, and a tall silver haired man. Anbu apologizes to her and tells her about you.
“It’s been too long Mother”
She instantly gets up and engulfs you in this big hug bringing your head to her chest. You hug her back with the same intensity. You stay like that for quite a while until the blind kid speaks up
“Who the hell are you? And why was Granny Tsunade hugging you?”
You pull away and look at him and notice the necklace hanging around his neck. You looked up to your mom and smiled down at you. She apologizes to the people in the room
You chuckled at that and stated that I was her daughter. They were all in shock at that. You tell her how you heard a rumor that she had become Hokage and needed to check it out. And that now it was true that you could leave. SHe begs you to stay for a bit and you do. That’s when Jiraya walks into the room and you greet him. Jiraya actually knew about you and Itachi cuz after all
After all that, he asks Tsunade to talk to her in private with me about something. You had a feeling that it was about because after all, a couple months prior, your “boyfriend” tried to kidnapped Naruto
Once in private, Jiraya rips the bandaid and goes how long have you been working with the Akatsuki?'' Your mother is shocked at this and you sighed and state that you don't “work” with them. That you are a traveling medic, so it wasn't uncommon to come across the Akatsuki. You also give him a look that says people don't say anymore about it.
Jiraya then turns to Tsunade and says that you can't stay in the village because of that connection and if people find out about your connection to the organization then her days of being Hokage are over. She sighs because what he said wasn't wrong but it hurts to just leave her daughter again. She goes “we just have to make sure they don't find out.” You instinctively hold the Akatsuki ring in your hand that Itachi gave you so he always knew where you were when you needed him. You brought up the fact that you could live outside the village
Withthat, you now have your own cottage near the Nara Forest that you live with so Itachi can still visit you. And on his next visit, he stays longer than a night and gives you his mother’s engagement ring. He said he wanted you to keep it, because he knew his death was itching closer and closer. And even though this happiness is fleeting, he decides to do whatever he can to keep it.
The night he gives you the engagement ring, you slip it on your finger and give him a deep kiss, one that continues into your own sheets. That night is filled with soft whispers of “i love you” to “i missed you” and kisses. The next morning you can help but look at the man next to you and kiss his cheek. You two talk about your future and how it would be.
“If this was a different world, a different timeline, I would make you an Uchiha”

13 or 16 from the concern/worry prompts would be awesome :)
Hi, thanks so much for sending this!
A few people asked for a coninuation of the previous prompt, so I've set this one in the same universe, but a little further on.
I hope you like it!
13. “I’ll stay with you.”
Prompt taken from here.
Read on AO3
-
“Hey kid,” Beca said, getting out of her car and trying not to look puzzled at the sight of 10-year-old Sarah sitting on the kerb. “What’s going on?”
“I’m waiting for my dad,” Sarah replied, her hand held up to her face to shield her eyes from the sun as she looked up at Beca.
“Oh,” Beca said, glancing at the time on her phone. “I guess he’s running a little late, huh?”
Sarah nodded.
“You don’t want to come wait inside? It’s pretty hot out here,” Beca asked.
Sarah shook her head. “I’m okay, Mom made me put on sunscreen.”
“Okay,” Beca said. “Is your Mom inside?” 
Sarah nodded again. “She looked a little mad,” she added. 
“Mad at you?”
“Mad in general,” Sarah said. 
Mad at Chicago, Beca thought.
“I’ll go see,” Beca said, giving Sarah’s hair a quick ruffle as she passed.
Chloe was furiously chopping vegetables in the kitchen when Beca arrived.
“Chlo’?” Beca asked cautiously as she approached. “Everything okay?”
“He’s late,” Chloe said, bringing her knife down against a potato with a ‘thunk’. “Again. No calls. No texts. No nothing.”
“Give me that,” Beca said, taking the knife away. “We don’t need a trip to the ER on top of everything else.”
“I swear to god, if he no-shows again-”
“I know,” Beca said. “I guess you’ve tried calling?”
“Of course I have,” Chloe snapped.
“Sorry, that probably wasn’t very helpful,” Beca said. 
Chloe softened. “No, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to snap. I’m just sick of him doing this to her.”
“Me too,” Beca said, pulling her wife into a hug and kissing the side of her head. “Do you need a hand with dinner?”
“No,” Chloe said. “It's almost done.”
Beca kissed her again before grabbing two juice pouches out of the fridge. “I’ll be outside if you need me.”
She returned to the front of the house where Sarah was still waiting, her backpack on the ground beside her. Every so often they’d hear a car in the distance and Sarah would perk up, only to sink back down when the car drove right past.
It made Beca want to cry.
How many times had she been this same kid growing up?
She shook her head slightly and cleared her throat as she approached.
Sarah turned to look at her.
“Thought you might be thirsty,” she said, handing her a juice pouch.
“Thanks,” Sarah said. “What are you doing?” She asked when Beca took a seat beside her. 
“Thought I’d wait with you,” Beca said. “If that’s okay?”
Sarah nodded and stuck her straw in her juice pouch. Beca did the same, and bumped hers against Sarah’s.
“Cheers,” she said.
“Cheers,” Sarah said back, giggling. 
They sat there until the sun started dipping behind the houses, and they heard the sound of approaching footsteps.
“Dinner’s ready,” Chloe said. There was a false cheeriness to her voice that made Beca look up at her. She could see that her eyes were rimmed with red and Beca’s face fell. 
Again? She asked without speaking.
Chloe nodded, and Beca could see the barely contained rage behind her eyes. 
“Dad’s taking me out to dinner,” Sarah said. “Remember?”
Chloe sighed and dragged her teeth across her bottom lip. “Baby, your dad just called,” Chloe said. “And he’s really sorry but-”
“No!” Sarah shouted, standing up quickly. “No! He’s coming! He promised! He’s taking me to dinner and then we’re spending the weekend at Disneyland!”
“Sarah-”
“He promised!” Sarah yelled, angry tears filling her eyes and spilling over reddened cheeks. 
“He said something came up at work,” Chloe said. “He’s really sorry.”
Sarah threw a kick at her backpack and set it skittering across the street.
“Kid, I know you’re upset-”
“Shut up!” Sarah said, turning on Beca now. “This is all your fault! My Mom and Dad would still be together if it wasn’t for you!”
It felt like getting stabbed in the chest, but Beca couldn’t pretend that she didn’t understand.
How many times had she shouted the same words at Sheila as a kid?
She just never thought she’d be on the receiving end of it. She never thought she’d be that kind of step-parent.
“Sarah,” Chloe said, her voice much sterner. “That isn’t fair and it isn’t true.” 
“It is true!” Sarah said, shouting even louder. “I hate you! I hate you both, and I want my dad!”
She stormed past them into the house and left Beca and Chloe standing in stunned silence. 
Beca cleared her throat and tried to distract herself from the pain in her chest by walking the five feet down the street to collect Sarah’s backpack.
The front of it was scuffed now, the sparkly unicorn missing a few sequins. A bit of childhood innocence chipped away by the disappointment of the real world. 
“I hate him,” Chloe said, her voice full of quiet anger. Beca saw her own pain reflected back in Chloe’s eyes, only she knew for her it must be a thousand times worse. 
“I know,” Beca said. “I’m not his biggest fan right now either.”
“How do we get the blame for this?” Chloe asked, furiously wiping at the tears that kept falling.
“Because she has to blame someone,” Beca said. “Because she probably thinks there’s something wrong with her. Something unlovable that keeps her dad away. But those kinds of thoughts hurt too much, so if she doesn’t blame herself then she has to blame us.”
“She’s a baby,” Chloe said, her voice breaking. “She shouldn’t have to think these things. She shouldn’t be feeling like this.”
Beca pulled Chloe into a hug and held her, because she knew there was nothing she could say that would help.
“If she has to blame someone, can’t she blame him?” Chloe asked, her voice muffled against Beca’s chest.
Beca laughed and placed a kiss against Chloe’s head. “She’ll be okay,” Beca said.
“I hope so.”
“She will be,” Beca said. “I am, and she’s got something I didn’t have growing up.”
“What’s that?” Chloe asked, stepping back so she could look at Beca.
“At least two parents who love her unconditionally. Whether Chicago gets his head out of his ass or not, she still has us, right?”
“Right,” Chloe said, sniffing and wiping her eyes. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” Beca said. “I love you both.”
“I should go check on her,” Chloe said. “Can you see if dinner can be saved?”
“Of course,” Beca said, briefly kissing her before they both returned to the house.
Chloe climbed the stairs with a pain in her chest and she knocked on Sarah’s bedroom door.
“Go away!” Came Sarah’s tearful response.
Chloe sighed and pushed the door open anyway. 
Sarah was curled up on her bed, her back to the door, her body shaking with sobs.
“I know you’re disappointed and upset, but we need to talk about what happened outside,” Chloe said. “It isn’t okay for you to shout at me or Beca, or anyone, like that, even when you’re angry.”
Sarah sniffed and wiped her eyes. She sat up and hugged her legs, and Chloe took a seat on the edge of her bed.
“It isn’t fair,” Sarah said. “Why does he always do this?”
“I don’t know, baby,” Chloe said. “I know you were excited to see him, and I’m really sorry he isn’t coming.”
“I didn’t mean what I said,” Sarah said. “I don’t hate you or Beca, I was just angry. I’m sorry.”
“Thank you for saying that,” Chloe said. “That thing you said about me and your dad not being together because of Beca, you know that isn’t true, right?” Sarah shrugged. “Is that something your dad has said to you?”
Sarah shook her head. “You left dad to go and live with Beca,” Sarah said. “So if it wasn’t for her, you would still be together.”
“Sweetheart, no,” Chloe said, sighing softly. “I didn’t leave your dad to go and live with Beca, we went to stay with Beca because I left your dad.”
“Isn’t that the same thing?” Sarah asked, brows pulled together.
“No,” Chloe said, shaking her head slowly. “Your dad and I were arguing a lot, and being cross with each other, and we just didn’t love each other the way you’re supposed to when you’re together. And so we decided not to be together anymore. Before Beca and I were together, we were best friends. So I drove us all the way to her house because I knew she’d help me while I was figuring out what was next for us. And she did. She helped me a lot. And she loved you since the day you were born, and she loved me for even longer than that, and eventually I realised I loved her too.”
“So you didn’t leave dad because you wanted to be with Beca?”
“No,” Chloe said. “I promise that isn’t what happened. Beca isn’t the reason that your dad and I split up, and she definitely isn’t the reason that he couldn’t make it today.”
“So then… Then why? Why doesn’t he ever come?”
“I wish I knew the answer to that,” Chloe said. 
“You said that you and dad didn’t love each other anymore, so what if that’s what happened? What if he doesn’t love me anymore?”
“Oh, baby girl, I promise you that isn’t true,” Chloe said, pulling her daughter into a hug. “The love you feel for your child, it isn’t like any other kind of love. Your dad will always love you, just like I will always love you, and Beca will always love you. There’s nothing you can do to lose that love. Even when we’re cross with you, or you’re cross with us, we’ll always still love you.”
“Promise?”
“I promise,” Chloe said. 
She hoped this would be enough for now. Hoped it would stop Sarah’s spiralling thoughts. Hope it would help her sleep at night knowing she had the love of all three of her parents, even if Chicago was lousy at showing it.
She didn’t know what would happen when Sarah got older. When she started questioning why Chloe had no relationship with her own parents. Why Beca had none with hers. 
“Can we go downstairs so I can say sorry to Beca?” Sarah asked.
“Of course we can, I think that’s a really good idea,” Chloe said, kissing Sarah’s head.
They found Beca in the kitchen, sitting up at the island, tapping something into her phone and frowning. 
“Beca?” Sarah said, her voice quiet and hesitant.
“Yes sweetheart?” Beca said, looking away from her phone and softening her expression.
“I’m really sorry,” she said. “I didn’t mean what I said.”
Beca smiled and nodded. “Thank you, I forgive you. I know how much it hurts when you’re really looking forward to something and you get let down. I know it hurts even more when you really love the person who let you down.”
“You do?”
“Mhm,” Beca said. “I’m really sorry your dad couldn’t make it.”
Sarah nodded, and she crossed the room to give Beca a hug. 
“I think I managed to salvage dinner,” Beca said over Sarah’s head to Chloe, one hand rubbing up and down her back. “Also.” She slid her phone across to Chloe so she could see what she’d been looking at when they’d come in. “Can we?”
Chloe picked up the phone and raised an eyebrow at Beca.
“Are you sure?”
“Uh huh,” Beca said.
Chloe shook her head and smiled before she slid the phone back. “Okay, but I hope you have comfortable shoes.”
Beca grinned, and hit purchase on the three Disneyland tickets that she’d had in her basket. “It costs so much money when you book at the last minute.”
“I’ll send you-know-who the bill,” Chloe said, turning her attention back to dinner, which now needed to be reheated.
“What are you talking about?” Sarah asked, climbing up to sit beside Beca at the island. 
“You’ll find out tomorrow,” Beca said, still grinning. “I love you, kid. I hope you know that.”
“I do,” Sarah said. “I love you, too.”

With the Random Hobie HCs Post, I'd like to add that he probably advocates heavily for education in general. He absolutely holds little meets for students where they can learn history that they'll never find in the textbooks.
He would absolutely make sure students get the uncensored version of history. He's absolutely a strong believer of "if you don't know history, you're bound to repeat it"
He also makes sure to include the good parts of history as though to say "this is what it could be".
Overall you got my brain smiling at the idea of Hobie being a reader tySM
TEACHER HOBIE I'M SO SOFT
Teacher!Hobie Headcanons
Tumblr media Tumblr media
No wonder he's so good with MayDay.
Like imagine, Hobie is strolling along and hear Peter foreloin that MayDay is having trouble with her shapes and colors. And MJ really wants to start her ahead on early pre-k. Get the big Parker brain going and all. And Peter's so frustrated and is he doing this dad thing right and maybe- Then he walks past a room while complaining to Miguel, only to see Hobie and MayDay sitting there with cards, practicing shapes and colors. She's delighted, it's like a game to her, and she's bright eyed and reacting. Hobie doesn't stop to acknowledge Peter and Peter doesn't interrupt, but he's so incredibly happy. He later tries to thank Hobie, but Hobie is like 'My pleasure, mate. Great kid."
He probably gets it from back home in 138, where he's more often 'Hobie'. I could see him in his time off, hanging out with local organizers.
Spider-punk sneaks in and steals books that are set to be burned or destroyed, and Hobie passes the books on to them.
I HC he tells the best stories, so the kids will sit around and hear stories of revolution, and indigenous people fighting for their land. Or about hippies protecting old forests. Or Black Panthers on the steps of the court house (*cough* Di *cough*)
But of course their favorite stories are the ones about Spider-punk. Hobie has told him that Spider-punk is his best friend and 'not to tell anyone'. And they make sure to keep his secret locked tight.
He tells them heroic stories of Spider-punk kicking the cops asses, and the kids all cheer - because it makes them a little less afraid when they see the pigs in the streets.
Some stuff can be hard to explain to them, or tell them - because history isn't always pretty. But they know they can ask questions and Hobie will always be kind. He always has an answer, never an 'I don't know', instead a 'I hope to learn that one day too'.
They really admire him. Sometimes hanging around the organizations and communist groups he'll read by himself, and the kids will see and run and grab their own. Sitting around him for impromptu reading time.
Even the teenagers the pass off to him. Kids like Gwen.
13 - 16 year olds, runaways looking for a better life, kids who lost their parents and are angry, ready to fight for the cause. Or sometimes, kids of cops, disgusted enough to wake up and leave.
Sometimes they're scared or quiet. Hobie always helps them open up, always figures out what they're willing to fight for. And some of them are angry, loud, some don't trust them. But he can get on anyone's good side. He understands the anger, he knows how to direct it.
Soon they just follow him because he leads by example. Everyday he comes in and ten different people are ready to talk to him about the recent developments on the fight for freedom in South America, or a recent anarchist rally over in Ireland.
Hobie loves it, because he loves people and he loves being a teacher.
Even at Society
Pavi probably didn't know much when he joined. He knew Gwen and Hobie very well, and he's been Spider-man 6 months, so he had to have joined maybe 3-4 months into being Spider-man, or even earlier.
He was probably so green, now look at him. How many 'bits of advice-' do you think he gave Pav?
If you're a new recruit with mechanical webshooters, he'll casually ask to see them - compliment their worksmanship, give you some new ideas. Or try to help out in little ways. Sewing kit in his vest for patches and rips in Spidey-suits.
Imagine learning how to Spidey-quip from Hobie!!! And having him be your hype-man during jokes in battle!
Just like he throws Pav in ATSV, Hobie throwing a Spider-person so they can get the last attack in.
Or even just helping around campus. He'll walk people to the food court if they're lost and looking for it. Or stop and talk to people who look like they need help with something.
Pulling others aside and asking if they need someone to practice training with, telling them 'Don't worry, you'll get it'.
I BET HES A MENTOR like Jess or Peter! Having him as a mentor would be so cool. Him lazily checking in on your during missions from his houseboat cause - hey he gets to work from home? cool.
Always defends you to Miguel.

Mav and Rooster for #13, please!
mav & rooster + nudging the other one
i still do not know the meaning of brevity. send me a pairing and a prompt!
It should be a joyous occasion.
The prodigal son has returned home. Neither he nor Maverick died on their mission from hell. Ice, with his non-existent immune system, survived a lower respiratory infection, which turned out to be pneumonia, which nearly went septic. None of them managed to start World War Three, despite the fact they were all grasping at straws by the end of it.
And yet…
Maverick, Ice, and Bradley sit gathered around the dining table. It’s the same table Bradley remembers from his childhood, pockmarked with Sharpie stains, key scratches, and one notable gash from the summer Ice taught him how to properly use a steak knife.
They’ve all taken their usual seats: Ice at the head of the table, Maverick to his left, and Bradley to his right. When his mother was still alive, she would flit between sitting next to Maverick and Bradley on a whim. She’d always say she never could choose between her two boys.
Dinner is on the table in front of them. Maverick pulled out all the stops and made a spread fit for a holiday party. A rib roast, roasted potatoes, garlic green beans, and a slice of coconut cake for each of them from Ellen’s Diner across town.
They sit in stilted silence, looking at each other. Ice is glaring at Maverick. Maverick is staring at Bradley. Bradley is resolutely trying not to make eye contact with Maverick. He does not dare look in Ice’s direction; Ice is the Iceman after all, and he can feel Ice’s cold gaze from his own chair, thank you very much.
Ice taps his fingers on the table. Bradley’s learned, in the weeks since he came home, that it’s how Ice gets Maverick’s attention so he can sign. Maverick does not look at Ice at all, continuing to have a one-man Western showdown with Bradley.
Bradley trains his eyes on the table. He can just barely make out the outline of his sophomore year campaign posters for student government, if he squints. He’d tried new markers that year, in hopes of sparing the poor table more Sharpie stains, but the ink bled straight through the poster board and settled into the wood, permanently.
Ice taps the table again.
Maverick raises his eyebrows at Bradley, then kicks his ankle under the table.
Ice signs Maverick’s name, adapted from the sign for pilot: a sideways I-love-you with the fingers facing out like bull horns, and each hand forming an M instead of the normally straight palms. Maverick kicks him under the table again.
Out of the corner of his eye, Bradley sees Ice look up to the heavens, as if to ask for divine intervention to get Maverick to behave. Bradley bites the inside of his cheek. Ice knows better than anyone that Maverick lives up to his name. He might have mellowed out some with age, but he’s still Maverick at heart.
The F-14 that’s currently parked at North Island should be more than enough evidence of that.
Ice clears his throat and opens his mouth.
“Don’t!” Maverick whips his head to Ice. “The doctors said five more days before you try to talk again!”
Ice raises one perfect eyebrow, as if to say, Gotcha.
“Ice wouldn’t do that,” Bradley fills in, the words muttered under his breath. “He’s not stupid.”
Maverick kicks him again, but Ice looks pleased. At least one of you has some goddamn sense in this house, he seems to say. He feels the air moving as Mav winds his leg back, but he’s getting wise to his old man’s tricks, so Bradley beats him to the punch and sends the toe of his shoe straight into Maverick’s ankle.
Maverick smiles, a glint in his eye. Before he can act, Ice grabs both of their wrists.
The message is clear: knock it off.
“He started it,” Bradley says, throwing Mav under the bus.
“I did not!”
Ice rolls his eyes. They all know very well who started it.
“Why are you kicking me?” Bradley asks.
“Because when I went with you to get the replacement parts for the Bronco last weekend, you said you’d ask Ice what you told me when we had dinner this week.”
Ice turns to look at Bradley head on. He might be almost forty years old now, but sitting in his chair at this dining table from his childhood, with Ice’s full attention trained on nothing but him, makes him feel like a naughty teenager again.
“Oh, yeah,” he says sheepishly, glaring at Maverick as he does. “Yeah, I did say that, huh.” Thanks for throwing me under the bus, Mav.
Maverick only smiles. I give as good as I get, kiddo.
“Well, you know I’m rotating back Stateside for my next deployment, and I was wondering… Well, I wanted to ask…”
He bites his tongue. Why is it so hard to ask this of Maverick and Ice, the two men who raised him? His parents, for all intents and purposes?
“That is, base housing sucks. And I’ve still got Mom’s house, but I’ve been meaning to get the carpet ripped out and new floors put in for literal years now, and if I’m gonna do that, then I might as well get around to all the other updates and renovations I’ve been meaning to do for literal years now, and—”
“Bradley wants to know if he can move back in for a few months while he gets the house fixed up,” Maverick cuts him off.
Ice huffs a laugh.
“Yeah, yeah, yuck it up, you old geezers,” he sulks. He’s sure they enjoyed his squirming. It was probably the highlight of their very boring week.
Ice reaches out and squeezes his hand. Yes, he mouths. Of course.
“Sucks to be you, Maverick,” Bradley says as he serves himself a generous helping of potatoes. Ice tries to hide his smile in his own plate, but he isn’t fast enough.
Maverick smiles. “See? I told you! What did I say? Come on, let’s eat.”
Ice glares at Maverick again. He signs something that Bradley can’t translate for himself yet, but he’s been in the hot seat with Ice enough to know that Maverick is not even close to off the hook for whatever it was that Ice wanted to talk about.
Maverick scowls at them both, and then kicks him under the table. Again.

A Mother's Touch
Pairing: Natasha Romanoff x Fem Reader
Summary: When Natasha is away on a mission and the 13-year-old daughter you share with her breaks her leg while at school, you’re left trying your best to comfort her until Natasha returns.  
Fluff | 1.9K | Nat & Reader have a child together |
Key Words: Y/D/N (Your daughter’s name)
AC: Like I said before, I have a real soft spot for Domestic life Natasha, I hope you all enjoy this. 
Tumblr media
“Hello?” you spoke answering the contact that read “Y/D/N’s school”.
“Hello Mrs Romanoff?” a voice replied. 
“Yes, this is Y/n Romanoff” you answered assuring the other line who you were, sometimes, if not most they would call you Natasha unsure who was on the other end. 
“Hi Y/n” you heard the woman smile, “I just wanted to call to let you know there was an accident at school today. Y/D/N has fallen down a flight of stairs. We’re called the emergency services; she’s broken her leg” 
“Oh my god! I’ll be there right away!” you replied shooting up from your desk at the compound. Your job was filing all the paper work the team had after debriefing and managing other expenses the compound had, making sure the fridge and cupboard where stocked with the teams favourite snacks, making sure the place was clean and kept up to maintenance. 
“Please Mrs Romanoff, we ask that you meet her at the hospital” 
“Uhm.. yeah okay, that’s fine. Is she okay? How is she?” you blabbered off as your motherly worry kicked in. 
“She’s asking for her mother but other than that she seems okay”
Ah yes, it was no secret to anybody that your daughter was definitely a mommy’s girl from the moment she was born. Natasha almost missed the birth due to the Quinjet breaking down mid-way home from a mission but just like she always did, she made it. The second Natasha laid eyes on the tiny little girl, her world changed once more, her favourite change in life. You watched Natasha hold the human you grew for 9 months, boucing her slightly around the hospital room whenever she started to whine and cry and when you were discharged home, Natasha’s new mission was to make sure you did as little lifting as possible. You gave her the greatest gift she could ever ask for and this was her way of showing you how much she loved the two of you. 
She took the first couple of years off from being an Avenger, she didn’t want to miss the ‘firsts’ her first roll over to her chubby baby stomach, her first smile, her first giggle, her first words and steps and she made sure she was available to be there for her on her first days. Whenever Y/D/N hurt herself whether that be from running too fast and falling over, falling off her bike or stubbing her little toe on the corner of the coffee table leg, she always wanted her momma. 
Even though it was very clear who your daughter’s favourite was, you still had a connecting with her just as strong. Whenever Natasha was away on missions, you were there to give her the extra love and attention Y/D/N missed when Nat was gone. You read her countless bedtime stories when she was younger, took her to the park and got her a big scoop of ice cream when she was extra good. As she got older, she would offer to do course around the house so you didn’t have to do it. Sometimes she’d come home from school before you were home from work, hating that you would be working an hour or two later than normal, you’d come home to her trying to make dinner for the two of you. Although your favourite sound was coming home to the laugher and mischief coming from the kitchen when Nat was home. 
“Please tell her I’ll be meet her there and that I will try and through to her mother” you said before hanging up the phone. 
Your worry on a hike as calling Natasha failed twice, cursing to yourself out of pure worry before her voice finally picked up. 
“Hi detka, is everything okay? I was in the shower” her voice calm half your worries already. 
“How long do you have left on the mission?” you asked in a worried tone.
“We’ll be home tomorrow night before dinner. Honey what’s wrong? You sound worried” Natasha said, picking up on your tone. 
“It’s Y/D/N, she’s broken her leg at school. I’m about to go meet her at the hospital, she’s asking for you” you explained quickly. 
“Detka, breath. It’s okay. Is she okay?”
You took a deep breathe in before exhaling. “That’s my girl” she said before you answered. 
“The school says she’s okay but she’s asking for you” you paused and chuckled to yourself, “like always” you said in a playful tone. 
“tell my baby that momma will be back as fast as she can, okay? Call me when you get the hospital. Remember honey, breath, it’s a broken bone, it would’ve been worse” 
Natasha always had a way with words and knew exact what to say whenever your worries and stress would get the better of you.
“I’ve gotta go love but I’ll have my phone on me, okay?” she added. 
“Okay”
“Keep me posted, I love you”
“I love you too” you replied as you searched for your car keys. 
“Hey” Nat spoke in a calming tone again, “I love you” she said once more. You knew what she was doing and smiled to yourself once you noticed, you took a second to relax once again. 
“I love you too” 
“That’s my baby” she cooed, “I’ll see you in a minute” she spoke before hanging up the phone. 
----
You arrived at the hospital just as they were wheeling Y/D/N into her room. 
“Mom!” she called as she saw you at the reception desk near her room. The nurse gave you the okay to follow through. 
“Hi baby” you rushed to her aid, placing a kiss on her forehead, brushing the hair out of face. “Did you call momma?” she asked straight away, causing you to smile. “I did, she said to tell you that momma will be back as soon as she can” you kept rubbing your hand over her head softly. 
“Mrs Romanoff?” a doctor interrupted, you turned to the older man and nodded with a smile. “I’m Doctor Ross” he reached his hand out to shake yours, as you did. “We just took her for an X-Ray, she’s as a complete fracture to her Tibia bone” he explained calmly.
With a nod as you took in the information, “Will there be a need for any surgery?” you asked. 
“No” the Doctor smiled, “We’ll just put a cast on her for 12 weeks after that she’ll need to do some physiotherapy for a few weeks and she’ll good as new after that” 
“And pain killers?”
“We’ll get something for the pain that she can take over the first 2-3 weeks” 
“Thank you” you smiled to him. 
“You’re welcome, a nurse should be in shortly to apply the cast” he said before leaving the room. 
You turned to your daughter who looked tired and in pain. Like her mother, she hid it very well from others but not from you. She was trying to distract herself by watching the cartoons that played on the tv from the wall in front of her. You smiled softly to her before calling Natasha again. “Here honey” you said softly, handing her the phone.
“Hello?” she said unsure who was on the phone. 
“Somebody told me my baby girl is in hospital” 
“Momma!” her face lit up, “are you on your way home yet?” she asked with hope. 
“Not yet pumpkin, I’ll be home tomorrow night, I promise” 
“Okay Momma” you watched your daughters face drop with hurt. 
“How’s your leg?” 
“I’m getting a cast and the doctor says I’ll have it on for 12 weeks!” 
You sat in the chair next to your daughter’s bed as she explained what happened to Nat. You weren’t surprised this was caused by your daughter and her need to rush from A to B. 
“You’ve gotta start slowing down my love” you heard Natasha’s voice travel through the phone. 
The nurse came in shortly after, ending the call between your wife and daughter short. Once the cast was put on and the nurses and Doctor were happy with it, they discharged Y/D/N, giving you the painkillers, she might need along with some documents for the school to allow her a few weeks off school to let the right leg heal. 
“Mom, can we have pizza tonight please?” your daughter asked from the backseat of the car. “You can have whatever you like, within reason” you smiled to her through the review mirror. She smiled widely before placing her headphones in. 
----
Later that night, Y/D/N was upstairs in her room watching her favourite movies while you tidied up the mess from dinner downstairs. You were in your own world, placing the leftover pizza slices on a plate to wrap up and put in the fridge. Hovering over the sink to wash the dishes you felt warm arms wrap around your waist. “Hi honey” Natasha’s voice said softly against your skin before placing a soft kiss on your cheek. You smiled, leaning into her hold. “I thought you weren’t supposed to be back until tomorrow night” you said. 
“I spoke to Tony and he was cool with me coming home early” she said, spinning you around to face her. “How’s my worry pot?” she asked with a smirk. “I handled myself every well thank you” you chuckled. Nat pecked your lips softly. “and how’s our baby girl?” she asked. 
“Waiting for her momma to come home” you replied.
“Well, I’m sure she can wait a few more moments” Nat smirked before kissing you properly. 
“Mom!! Can you please get me a drink?” you heard your daughter call. Nat chuckled, “okay maybe not” she said slowly releasing you from her hold. You grabbed a clean glass and walked to the fridge before Nat stopped you. “Let me” she said, taking the glass from your hands. “OG?” she asked, opening the fridge. You nodded. 
You watched as Natasha pour the juice into the glass before making her way upstairs. 
“Momma!!” you heard Y/D/N say with excitement. You smiled to yourself before returning to the dishes. 
You didn’t see Natasha again until you were in bed reading your book. “She’s asleep” Natasha spoke, clothing the door to your shared bedroom. “How is she truly?” you asked, closing your book. “She cried and took some painkillers but she’s strong, she’ll be okay” Nat replied, sitting on the end of the bed. “Well she is your daughter after all” you smiled, “thank you Nat” you added before she could say anything. “For what love?” 
“For coming home sooner. She felt that cry in, she tried to tell me she wasn’t in any pain. You know, she’s just like you in so many ways. How you come home hurt and bruised and think I don’t see how sore you are. She really needed you and that’s okay, I’m just really happy you came home early” 
Natasha took her socks off and unzipped her jacket, throwing them into the wash hamper. “I was more worried about you than I was her, you know that right?” Natasha spoke before looking into your eyes. You frowned, “But I wasn’t hurt” you said, confused. 
“Because you’re the one who keeps us safe, you doing everything for us and when one gets knocked down you worry more than you should. To call you my wife and the mother to our child is a blessing but to me, you really are my hero” she smiled, kissing your forehead. You blushed and were left without words. “Go shower, you smell” you winked to her as she entered the bathroom.

I’m So Sorry, Not
Tumblr media
Vinsmoke Family x Platonic! Sibling! Reader
Warnings: Colorful Language ofc, Bullying, Mentions of Suicide, Toxicity if i can write the characters well, abandonment, drugs, murder, neglect, death, torture
PAINFULLY LONG AND POORLY WRITTEN.
Well, you’re technically a Vinsmoke. You don’t have the same mom as the rest of your siblings.
but you all have the same dad.
you turned out to be another failure.
your father- Judge, has had enough and kicked you out of the empire? 
he left you on the worst island possible
You were so young too. almost turning 7 when your siblings were 13-15 years of age.
you felt alone and abandoned
you had no hope.
you couldn’t even leave the island if you wanted to.
an old woman took you in.
you tried your hardest to find ways to kill yourself.
you even took hand-full of drugs in hopes of overdosing.
yet, you didn’t have the guts to kill yourself. you felt as though, if you kill yourself. you’d be proving your “family” right.
one day, a ship awfully familiar to the one you were kicked off of was sailing closer to the island you resided on.
once it arrived, the island you’ve come to know for 10 years, was burning down slowly.
you ran towards the old woman’s house, you had called grandma after three years of staying on this island.
only to witness her being brutally slashed in the chest by someone who you used to call brother.
Niji smirked when his eyes landed on you,
“y/n! how have you been? we thought you would’ve been dead by now.”
you stayed silent as he approached you, breath hitched.
“hey, say something!”
he was in front of you now…
you watched him warily, slowly backing away.
“Niji, stop bullying the weak. you know she’s a fucking failure like Sanji”
Shit!
Yonji was here now.
Niji’s smirked widened and gripped your hair tightly by the scalp,
“listen here you damn germ, you’ll be coming with us wether you like it or not”
Niji started to pull you by the hair, not stopping despite your protests.
“Let me go!”
you tried clawing on his arm, but you knew it doesn’t affect him at all
you screamed in pain when you felt a sharp pain in your stomach…
‘did this sonic looking bitch just kick me!?’
once on the ship, you were instantly in front of that man.
we know who it is fellas💪🏽
you stared into his emotionless eyes but you already know what he was feeling,
disgust.
“so we meet yet again. we should have left you on an island filled with beasts, that would’ve killed you much faster”
“Shut up! i fucking hate you Vinsmoke Judge”
You try to pull away from hands that where restricting your arms. AKA Yonji.
You see two more, no, three more people behind Judge, from your observation.
Ichiji, Reiju, and someone else.
‘who is that?’
Judge followed your gaze.
“that is your other brother, Sanji”
you can hear the gruffness in his voice, as if he didn’t want to talk to you and say Sanji’s name.
“wait a minute… “brother”? im not a part of this family!”
you shouted, filled with rage and despair.
as much as you feel hurt, but its the truth.
Vinsmoke Judge had disowned you from the family.
“that is true, but we need you to save face. behave yourself failure #2”
Ichiji chimed in.
“save face?”
Yonji let go of your arms and suddenly you were pulled towards the ground, hurting your face in the process.
Judge had stomped on your back.
“don’t screw anything up or we’ll kill you”
you had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
what can you do?
you cant beat up emotionless, sadistic robots and walk away scotch free.
you pursed your lips, trying to find a way to escape.
you snapped out of your thinking process when something clamped down around your wrists.
“you cant be 6 feet away from any of us or the castle, except for sanji, unless you want to lose your hands.”
You cant be serious right now.
your escape plan was now rendered useless.
“let’s head over to Whole Cake Island”
You were basically thrown into your room by Niji and Yonji, with them smirking down at you.
“dicks” you murmured.
a few days had passed, you never left your room, since you had a bathroom attached to it and you requested to one of the servants to deliver food to your room.
there was a knock at your door, you looked at the clock.
it was not lunch time yet.
you opened it and immediately scowled
it was sanji, you did not want to get hurt again.
“wait, wait”
Sanji held up his hands in defense.
you noticed the same golden colored device around Sanji’s wrists.
“can i come in?”
you moved to the side, silently observing Sanji as he walked in.
“you’ve grown, i honestly thought you were still on the ship…rotting and being abused. but, im glad. im glad your still alive”
Sanji tears up and pulls you close to him.
He made a vow,
“I promise you, once i get married. i’ll give you anything that you didnt get to experience as a kid!”
You wanted to tell him that it was okay and that he didnt need to.
you held in your tears, voice shaky as you actually did tell him that it was okay.
that led him to hold you tighter.
after that day, Sanji actually tried his best to be there with you on Whole Cake Island.
The day before Sanji’s wedding, while riding the carriage, Sanji’s friends tried to get him to come back.
Straw hat Luffy….
The events that happened next, shocked me.
Sanji beat up him own captain.
You did not care about what happened to you, you wanted the best for your only brother.
during the wedding, you were panicking hard.
Big Mom planned to annihilate the Vinsmoke family in order to gain their scientific creations.
being stuck in melted candy did not help your despair.
suddenly, Big Mom let out a big wail, hurting your ears in the process.
Sanji broke everyone free from the confines of melted candy.
you watched as Germa 66 did their transformation half way and started running towards Bege’s castle.
You felt self conscious.
you weren’t anything special, you did not have any abilities, you did not know how to fight, all you do know how to do is run.
but you weren’t fast enough.
you felt someone loop their arms around your waist, zooming towards Perospero, and throwing a punch at him.
“Kneel before Germa’s scientific might!”
It was Ichiji.
As everyone had gotten into the castle, Sanji disowned Judge and the rest of Germa.
Unknowingly, you stood in front of a mirror, with your back towards it.
You felt you mouth being covered tightly and was dragged into the mirror, no one batting an eye.
You were then tied up by your perpetrator.
You took a glance at a mirrors reflection and it was Charlotte Amande.
‘im going to die!’
That wasn’t the case, she had brought you into a confined room, no windows.
‘ah….this is a torture chamber’
after 3 hours of being tortured, i managed to escape.
you came to the realization that you’re on Cacao Island.
injured and all you could do was lean in the wall.
“huff….huff….” you panted, just a few more steps before you reached the plaza. The pain became unbearable.
It was already dark out.
I assumed there was battle going on, since Germa 66 was fighting off the Big Mom Pirates. “Go back to your ships, Germa 66! Mission Accomplished!” Ichiji yelled out, his eyes spotting me leaning against the wall. He grabbed the back of my shirt and we flew back to the main ship.
Once we had arrived, Ichiji placed me down on the ground gently. ‘well thats a surprise. I’m guessing Sanji left with his crew, im glad that he made it out’. My head felt light, i could barely hold myself up. “Germa 66! We’ll withdraw!” Judge said as he turned around and halted.
Big Mom was coming. Germa 66 was on guard for battle, even though they took a bunch of damage in the past few hours.
After trying to fend off the Big Mom Pirates. Germa was defeated. 2 super humans and 1 regular human were captured by the enemy.
I tried to pull from one of my restraints, but i was already physically drained from the torture i had endured. i am going through yet another torture. this time it was with Charlotte Daifuku.
Daifuku held me still as Oven used his devil fruit to sear the skin on my left forearm. I screamed in pain, not knowing Niji and Yonji can hear me in a room above them. Then, Mon-d’or made a gash in my leg. He then poured boiling water onto it “oops! Im sorry, not!”, he smirked. I bit my bottom lip hard, trying not to make a sound. This continued for who knows how long…
It felt like a while when they left. I felt so lifeless. the door opened and i was prepared to endure more torture. But it turns out it was Germa and….. Caesar?? Reiju used her poison to melt away the chains holding my body down. I couldn’t move. i could barely move…Ichiji nodded at Caesar and Caesar slung me over his shoulder, mindful of my wounds.
We made it back to the main ship of Germa. my body started to become more and more numb by the second. Ichiji took me into his arms and steadily walked towards the infirmary. “You okay? You’re not going to die are you?” He said, as he slowly started to pick up his pace after only getting a nod from me.
We’ve reached the infirmary. But the nurse there told Ichiji that I needed surgery to stitch up any open wounds and that i probably wouldnt make it. Niji tried arguing with the nurse, “what do you mean that she doesnt have enough blood? don’t we have blood packs here? why do you just give it to her?”. of course, the nurse tried to reason with Niji but she stopped not wanting to piss him off.
Yonji, clenched the blanket on top of him into his fist. ‘she cant die. we owe sanji for saving our lives.’ he thought. “im sorry, but she already looks like shes about to pass on”, the Vinsmoke brothers turned their heads towards their little sister. little sister?
sister?
when had they considered her a little sister? she did not share the same blood as their mother, so why should they consider her as their sister? just because she shares blood with their father doesn’t mean- “how long will she live?” and feminine voice chided in behind Ichiji.
Reiju and their father came in the room.
The nurse fumbled with her watch, not wasting anytime before the brothers become ruthless. “a-about an hour, ma’am!”, the nurse wanted to slap herself for being too nervous. Ichiji laid you onto an empty infirmary bed. Your breath hitched in pain.
Judge strutted towards your bed and stared down at you, “You did well, for a failure”. You deadpanned at him, even though you were dying. Yonji cursed under his breath, the Vinsmoke family turning to him. “why did it have to turn out like this?”.
Although he wouldn’t admit this, Yonji had cared for you. Ichiji and Niji narrowed their eyes at him. Ichiji started, “don’t tell me your getting all mushy already”, “don’t tell me you did not care for her all along, notice how you saved her the most?” Yonji retorted. Niji snorted “care for her? shes nothing but a weakling in the Vinsmoke bloodline”. The brothers were going back in forth, Judge chiming in here and there.
Reiju sneakily brought her hand to hold yours and gave it a reassuring squeeze. She smiled down to you, letting you know she loves you in her own way. but her eyes widened a little.
you were cold. cold to the touch.
she noticed that your eyes were lifeless. she knew. she knew, you had already passed on. With a wobbly smile, she closed your eyes and looked at the time. Trying to hold in her tears, “time of death is 4:37 p.m.”. As soon as she said that. The brothers felt their cold hearts shatter, yet they could not shed a single tear.
They had lost a sister. Their little sister at that. Sanji didn’t get to hear the bad news at all.
“In the back of my mind, you died. and I didn't even cry, no, not a single tear. and I'm sick of waiting patiently for someone that won't even arrive….” - d4vid, Romantic Homicide.

Las Vegas 1974
"You come here often?" The waiter said to Elaine. He was 16 years old, cute, had a job, and what any girl her age would rave over. Elvis had nudged Cecelia in hopes that their late-blooming daughter was finally into boys. Jessie knew that joy wouldn't last. Elaine was always awkward with men. She'd start talking about comics or science. Or something to throw them off, "No, but my parents do..." Elaine rolled her eyes at the boy as he kept trying,
 "Your parents must be rich." Elaine smiled, trying her hardest to be nice, but she had that same aggravated face that both her parents made after a long night of shows. 
"Well, I'm a Presley, if you couldn't tell with them sitting here..."
"You're being shy, aren't you..."
"Buddy, she just doesn't like ya'," Jessie said as Elvis and Cecelia tried to hold out their laughs, 
"And who are you?"
"Her brother, now leave her alone, please." Jessie smiled as she was released,
"So you two liking Vegas much?" Elvis asked, eating his dinner with his own silverware. 
"Yeah, I was thinking of seeing the showgirls..." Jessie smirked as Elvis laughed, 
"Jessie Vernon Presley, you're 13," Jessie gulped. He could feel the glare in his mother's voice, "But Mama, I'm not gonna do anything stupid." he smirked at his father, which meant he was going to do something stupid, "Right Elaine... Elaine..."
Elaine had her sights on a redheaded showgirl. She looked about 16. and a work of art. Her feathers sat on her head like a lovely peacock, and her makeup was beautiful. Her eyes were an emerald green, and she was looking back at "Elaine? Somethins got your attention?"
"I-I-I was just, uh, looking at her costume." She gulped,
"Right, you were..."Jessie said. As Elaine kicked him under the table, the two bickering
"Hey, you two, stop it!" Cecelia sighed, "Your father and I have had a long night, and it's only gonna get longer with a midnight show!"
"Sorry, mama..." 
"How's everyone's food?" a waitress in her early twenties came by. Elaine couldn't take her eyes off her. She was like Wonder Woman, "You're great I-I mean, it's great, uh..." Elaine got embarrassed as Elvis and Cecelia were a bit suspicious, 
"Tone it down, E..." Jessie said, "The Eagle an Dove are catchin' on."
"The soup is amazing..." Elaine smiled. After dinner, Elvis and Cecelia went to their suite to get dressed as Jessie and Elaine went to explore The International Hotel, 
"Elaine's been actin' funny lately..."Elvis mentioned as Cecelia helped him put on his necklace.
"I don't know when I was her age. I wasn't
much of a flirt either." She shrugged, "I mean, I couldn't tell if a guy was even flirting." She laughed as Elvis looked at her. All his life with Cecelia, he knew her to be a flirt. 
"I don't know... When she's around girls, she gets all red and shy."
"Honey," Cecelia glanced at him,
"I know... That's how I get when I'm around you, all red and shy like a little baby." He laughed as she kissed his cheeks, 
"Is that so..." She blushed,
"Always is." He pulled her in front of his slightly fuller frame. His face was a bit rounder than it used to be, but Cecelia loved him just the same. 
"You don't think Elaine's hiding something, do you?" Elvis glanced down at his wife,
"E, you're gonna have to tell 'em, you're..."
"I'm what Jessie..." she glared at her brother, the two walking past the casino,
"A Cherry chaser."
SMACK!
"Ouch!" Jessie groaned, rolling his eyes, "The hell was that for!"
"That's a rude thing to say!" She grumbled, walking away from her brother, 
"Hey, hey, hey, no disrespect, sis, I like girls too," He smiled as she tried to glare at her brother, but she couldn't help that he meant well, even if he was stupid, 
"Awe, boys, Ruby doesn't wanna play with us !" a man said, attacking the showgirl from earlier, "She must be a muff diver or something..." A guy shoved her. The girl looked scared. She looked like she wanted to cry. Trying her best to walk past, "Probably under that makeup, she's a dyke..." 
"HEY LEAVE HER ALONE!" Elaine shouted as Jessie sighed. If there was one thing he knew about Elaine, she learned all there was to fight from their father's movies, so if anything, this would look like a fight from Blue Hawaii. 
"What, you her girlfriend or something!" The one man said, pushing Elaine. There was the feistiness of Cecelia in her eyes and the fieriness of Elvis in her fist. Drawing her hand back, she punched the man in his eye as Jessie jumped in to stop the other from trying anything. Jessie took Karate with Elvis cause it was a father-son bonding time activity, but did it come in handy. 
"Are you okay..."
"Ruby..." The girl said,
"Pretty name." Jessie blushed as Elaine sighed. She'd definitely lose this battle. Jessie kissed her hand as the showgirl pulled it back, 
"Thanks for saving me, uh..."
"Elaine Marie Love Presley." She winked, pushing her hair back. She hadn't noticed Ruby blushing, but Jessie did, 
"Presley as in..." 
   "Caught in a trap... I can't walk out~"
"Yeah, as in the two playing in the theater." Elaine smiled, "You maybe wanna meet em?"
"In these clothes..."
"You get changed. Meet us back here." She smirked,
"Okay." She smirked, her perfume gliding by them both as they sighed happily,
"Good going, sis."
"What did I do?"
"Got yourself a..." He trailed off as he saw a few teenage girls walk by, "Talk about a thousand pretty women waiting out there..." 
"Yeah, for you." She said as he laughed, 
"Good luck on your date, and don't forget you gotta tell 'em."
Elaine didn't know how to. She knew her mother and father. They'd love her, but they were traditional and very religious. Elaine and Jessie hadn't missed church or a church equivalence since she could remember. She knew they'd tell her. She'd be in a world of ruin and a first-class trip to hell, but she liked girls, and she tried so hard to get the rhythm of boys, but it wasn't her guitar to play.
"I hope this isn't a lot..." Ruby said she was out of her makeup and wig, and she had on a dress and flowers in her hair, 
"You look perfect," Elaine said, walking towards the stage door, their hands brushing against each other, 
Graceland 1974
"Well, since my Ruby left me... I found a new place to dwell. It's right at the end of lonely street. Vegas is where it dwells and-" Elaine began to sing as she strummed her guitar. Elaine had been silently going through a breakup with Ruby, who only found her attractive because she was the daughter of Elvis and Cecelia. They had exchanged secret letters and phone calls, or at least she thought, 
"Hey, uh, me and my friends are gonna rehearse if you wanna maybe join us?" Jessie offered. He hated seeing Elaine like this, 
"No thanks..."
"Estella's gonna be there..."
"Well, now that you add..." She jolted out of her bed and did her hair. Elaine had a big crush on Estella. She was the definition of cool. Blonde short hair, her blue eyes, her freckles, her Tupelo accent, and her skateboard. 
"I found letters in Elaine's room," Elvis said as Rising Sun was beside Lightning Bolt, Cecelia's horse. "Elvis..." She looked at her husband as he sighed, "You go snoopin. You'll find what you're lookin for," She said as he nodded. Elvis was getting worried, Elaine was being more distant lately, and she was short when they'd both ask her about school crushes, "I know, but she's hiding somethin. I don't know what, but damnit! I thought we'd be good parents where they can trust in us, you know!" Elvis was getting angry as Cecelia stopped her horse to walk over to him, 
"The twins are 13. They're going through teenage angst." She added, 
"But honey..."
"Honeybutter..." She squished his cheeks, "We're great parents, or at least as great as we can be. They're fed, loved, clothed, loved, taken care of, loved, listened to, loved," She kissed him as Elaine saw them. There was a pit in her stomach as she knew she'd never get that joy,
"So... Elaine..."
"Yes, Estella?" Her heart began to pound as she looked up at her, 
"Jessie tells me you play guitar. And you sing a little." She smiled as Elaine nodded, the prettiest masculine girl she'd ever seen, "Y-Yeah, I do... I mean, my parents are singers, so it runs in the family and-" Estella gave her a peck on the cheek, and Elaine turned red, holding her cheek, 
"Was I ramblin..."
"A little, I think it's cute."
"I think you're cute!" She blurted out as Estella blushed. She looked like a strawberry, "Unless you know this isn't your thing, and I'm assuming, and maybe I'm just being stupid an-" Estella leaned in and kissed her quick, 
"HEY TUPELO!"
"WHAT, JP!"
"WE'RE STARTIN!"
"You're red?" Elvis looked at his daughter as she blushed even more, "I-I have a fever!" she nodded, "I don't feel good..."
"So then Tupelo says. I'm playing the chords wrong!" Jessie rolled his eyes as Elvis and Cecelia laughed, "Like it's my mama's song, I'd never play it wrong!" He said as Elaine looked at him, 
"Maybe she's right..."
"Is not!"
"Is too!" 
"Oh yeah, you're agreeing with her 'cause she kissed you!" Jessie shouted as he soon after realized what he'd done, 
"She kissed you?" Elvis and Cecelia said in unison
"Ellie, i'm so-"
"Yes! She did, I-I..." There was a pit in her stomach, but she couldn't turn back now. The cat would be soon out of the bag, but it needed to be, "Mama... Daddy, I like girls..." Elaine said the room was filled with silence as she sighed, 
"Elaine, you're only 13 years old. You don't know what you like!?" Elvis said, his fist on the table as she glared at him, 
"You two, calm down!" Cecelia said, "Elaine, please explain why you think this is..." 
"Well, I really knew when I was 12. That I didn't like boys like the girls in my class did. I can talk to them as friends, but... I-" Elvis shook his head. He was confused as to how this happened, how he and Cecelia managed to miss the signs. 
"You what... saw a girl, thought guess I'll try that!"Elvis interjected, 
"I thought she was pretty, and today she kissed me! and-" Elaine cried as she ran off to her bedroom, 
"We're not done with this!" Elvis grumbled,
"I'll talk to her." Jessie followed his sister,
"Elvis Aaron Presley!" Elvis was in the dog house when his wife used his full name, his blue eyes looking at her desperation. He didn't mean to upset his baby girl, "I know I gotta make it right." He sighed, 
"Not till you tell me about your outburst..." 
"Cece..."
"Elvis..." Her brows furrowed, 
"Alright, fine, I don't want her gettin hurt out there... People ain't gonna accept her, and they'll say mean things or-or take advantage or-" 
"I don't know if you noticed Elvis, but we weren't socially accepted either..." Cecelia laughed, 
"Cause our music..."
"Cause of our love," She kissed his forehead, "I'm a little disappointed too. She won't marry a man or have grandchildren, but God told us to love one another. And that's our baby. She needs our support more than anyone."
"But..."
"Ah...Ah, she's already got it rough, being she and her brother are mixed, but she's Presley tough," She said as Elvis sighed, 
"I need to think," 
Elaine was sobbing into her pillow when she heard a soft knock on the door,
 "Little pumpkin..."
"Mama..."
"Can we talk?"
"Okay..." Cecelia sat on her bed, "Is Daddy mad at me..."
"No, he could never be. He loves you. It's just this surprised us both," 
"I'm sorry it's-"
"No need to be sorry, honey muffin. Can I tell you a story?" Elaine nodded as she laid her head in her mother's lap. "There was a girl who fell in love with an incredible boy back in 54. They were inseparable, but society didn't exactly like that."
"Why..."
"Well she was black, and he was white."
"Did they stop loving each other?" Elaine asked as Cecelia softly combed through ther hair, "No, They fought to be seen together, to love loud together," Cecelia swooned,
 "Did they win?!"
"Well, Christmas, we'll be together for 14 years now," Elaine gasped as she realized she was talking about her and her father, 
"Well, why are you telling me this mama?"
"Cause, I know we may not understand fully why, but I do know if you like this girl. Or this lifestyle, you're gonna have to fight for your love, fight to love loud, and fight to say I'm here, I exist, and you will see me." Cecelia smiled, 
"So you're not mad..."
"Not at all. After all, Aunt Midge likes women, and Uncle Richard likes men. " Cecelia laughed, "Heck, I think Ann Margaret is so pretty I'd kiss her if I could." Elaine blushed hearing that, 
"I think I'll go talk to Daddy." 
Elvis was outside in the meditation garden praying for guidance. He knew his daughter needed his love more than his misguided judgments. "Daddy... Can we talk?" She asked as Elvis looked up and saw her, patting a seat next to him as she sat down, "I-I know it's a lot to take in. But, it's how I was made to live and-" Elvis hugged his daughter tight, "I'm proud of you, I may not fully understand it, Little Biscuit, but I'll get around to it," He ruffled up her hair as smiled at him,
 "Guess you're a true, Presle." 
"Why's that, Daddy?" She looked up at him
"Cause the ladies can't resist us." He kissed her forehead,
"You're funny."
*Bonus*
"So then I told Estella. That I would go to the dance with her!" Jessie mimicked her words as Cecelia and Elvis listened, "How'd you manage that." Elvis asked, and Jessie mocked her still. Elaine curled her lip, quirked her eyebrow, and said, "I got close and said I wanna play house with you," 
Elvis and Cecelia both choked on their drinks, 
"You what!?"
"It's my favorite song of Daddy and... Does it not mean you want to play house like pretend ..."
"Oh, sweetie... please keep eating before you give us gray hair early." Elvis laughed.

…I swear to God, why have like half the Beforan players tried to bone someone significantly younger than them??? Probably because the author’s a creep who got a kick out of it, but still, between what was just discussed with Rufioh, Aranea trying to hit on Jake, Cronus trying to bone his dancestor (jesus fuck) and Meenah dating a physically 13-year-old Vriska… that’s a THIRD of the dancestors? And those are just the four I’m aware of, I would be very disappointed but not at all surprised if there was a fifth.
Honestly, adults having inappropriate relationships with children is just a heavily recurring theme in Homestuck... It's not really all that surprising when you take a step back. Doc Scratch, Hussie's own self insert, Bro Strider... They're all much older than the Alpha Trolls are, and are creepy towards the Betas in some way.
Further discussion going under the cut.
Content Warning: Discussion of Sexual Assault, Harassment, and Pedophilia.
... Man, I'm having to write about this topic a lot lately, aren't I? This isn't even close to the only ask left in my inbox about something adjacent to this. It's kind of... Flattering, in the weirdest way possible? I don't know, I'm often approached for my opinions on some of the much more serious and dark aspects of Homestuck. Things that people don't really know, or talk about, or address- like the racism issues, Dave's CSA, et cetera. It's not really prestigious, I don't think, but it does require a level of trust in maturity and literacy. I appreciate it.
Anyways, this is mostly going to be me adding to and even debunking your ask here. I think this subject both deserves and requires specificity. It's an extremely emotionally charged topic, so peoples imaginations tend to get a little... Carried away, when they don't know the full extent to what's happening. Considering how it's not easy to term search things said by most of the Alpha Trolls, and some people really just do not want to/cannot interact with things relating to Child Harm and Abuse... There's bound to be both a lack of information and an excess of misinformation. It's understandable, but... Deeply annoying for me in particular. Lol.
Let's do this.

The inclusion of Rufioh in this is both correct and based on some of my own posting on the matter. Rufioh was hitting on Aradiabot, who is 13, because she reminded him of Damara... Specifically remarking upon how she's "just like the real thing". Charming...
Here's where I'm going to supply a debunk: Aranea did not try to hit on Jake, and he is not significantly younger than her. That's a pretty ugly misconception. She's 19, and he is 16. She had zero romantic or sexual feelings towards Jake. Yes, she tried to kiss him once... Because she knew that he was attracted to her and assumed he'd appreciate her making a move on him. This was part of her little scheme to make him Hope-splode. She never did actually kiss him, and there was genuinely no consent violations involved in the situation- he told her to stop before she could, and she did. It was just a misunderstanding. It happens. If you're still put off by that age gap, that's fair and entirely respectable, but that's not "significantly younger", and the situation wasn't really objectively creepy.
... Cronus is... Fucking gross. His whole gimmick is that he is "The Worst Character in Homestuck", and boy does he succeed at it. He won that title. Earned it. Absolutely flying colors. He tried to "get with" Karkat, Tavros, and Eridan. By which I mean he stalked Karkat all the way to his house and then tried to break into it, got really handsy with Tavros in the middle of a crowd, and... Sexually assaulted Eridan- his own flesh and blood!- also in the middle of a crowd. All of these kids are 13 years old, and his main character trait is "Sexual Assault + Harassment". No one's free. Not even literal children! Cronus counts as a full-blown Pedophile, by the way!! There's your fun fact for the day.
Then there's Meenah, who had her whole thing with (Vriska), who was 13. Not just physically, but mentally, too. She was just 13. That was a whole arc, so it doesn't really need much elaborating upon, I hope.

That's... Just about it, I think? That's all I remember, anyway, as far as the Alpha Troll Age Gap Weirdness goes. So... Only 3 of them are really problems in that respect, which is 1/4th of the cast. Still an upsetting amount, but not... As bad as 1/3rd, as far as optics goes.
In full honesty, it's kind of funny to me how the Alpha Trolls who have overtly sexual theming are... Pretty normal about kids. Damara's nice to them and nobody else, we've got zero reason to suspect Mituna of anything, and Porrim's just chilling. It's accurate, if anything.
Hopefully this has been fun and/or informative. Have a lovely day.
