Wanderer of The Stars
Real Men - Mitski
—•—
Real men dont need other people. Real men dont cry. Real men dont flinch, dont get scared, dont show any of their emotions. Instead of wearing their heart on their sleeves they cover them up with pretty foundation and pretend everything is okay while their brain is slowly rotting over time.
That’s what he needs to remind himself of while trenching down the path to his destiny. In the end, he was fully aware he was truly just a pawn. To Nephele, to Mingxia, to Asmodeus- and worst of all, to Ciel.
While he still had his conciousness he needed to keep his composure. Be a real man. Be something truly impeccable. So then when the children of the streets see him they’ll feel pride- they’ll feel adoration, instead of a miserable pity for a sad boy with the self esteem of a bag of rocks.
Ciel Apocalypse. No.4. His higher up by one rank. He only wished he could tear him down, yet he was still so far out of his reach. But he.. he could just smell something fishy. He knew something was going down behind the scenes. Though no one would listen. He paged No.2 for his help, yet he hadn’t heard back from him. He’d paged Mingxia-
No response.
Maybe everything was in his head.
As he leaned against the lamppost of a dimly lit street he held a hand over his mouth. Deep breaths. In and out. Don’t let anyone see your vulnerability. You need to be strong, no matter the visions you’ve had.
Visions. A cursed thing passed onto him of all people, for some reason he’d been given the role of an oracle, even though he didnt desire to possess it. It should’ve gone to No.2.. not him. Why was he stuck with the visions of terrible tragedies?
The scenes of the future.. that he couldnt quite piece together.
“Damn..”
——•——
Little boys cry. They let all their emotions out, whether in a healthy way or not.
Staring down at the rose engraved casing he felt a little sick. Inside lied his older sister.. Mingxia. Even when soulless, she was still beautiful as ever.
His head was still spinning.. everything was just too loud. Even the silence was too loud. His grip on Meguri’s hand tightened as they stood in said silence.
They had come to the church north of the cafe he’d run into her at. With their luck, it was all rundown. But.. he guessed that made it a good place to keep his sister. Would she really be alright here though?..
And just like that, tears began streaming down his cheeks once more. Too many thoughts all at once caused him to panic all over again.
He felt helpless.
Brown strands of hair fell over Meguri’s eyes as she stared down at the body of such an elegant woman. Now encased in glass under a cross.
From leaving a bakery to entering a church with a shaken little boy and his near dead sister.. it was a lot. Though she wasnt processing much, she still felt when he cried.
She squeezed his hand firmly, rubbing circles with her thumb to attempt to soothe him. This was before she gave in and wrapped her arms around the boy.
“It’s all gonna be okay.. I’m sure of it. Let it all out…” She hummed, “There there..”
“Do you think s-she’ll wake up?..”
“I.. don’t know.. I’m sorry..”
“..Okay..”

Wish I Was Sarah PT.1(Kiara Carrera X Reader)
Tumblr media
Kiara had first met you 3rd of December.You had been at a party,a christmas party to be specific.You were a kook which meant your parents forced you to go to all the big mansion parties all the time.All of the big ones were there,Sarah Cameron,Topper Thornton,Rafe Cameron,Kiara Carrera.All of them.
You had worn a sweater over a simple t shirt,too lazy to put on a dress like all the others.Your parents were just glad that you had agreed to make an appearance even if you looked like shit.You had sat in the corner of the couch,earbuds in.You were listening to Sweater Weather,thinking it was funny because you were,in fact,wearing a sweater.
Kiara had stood at the snack table for a while,holding a disgusting monstrosity of a cookie,debating on picking off the sprinkles and throwing them away.She had never really been a fan of sprinkles.She had glanced around the crowds,the moms talking as they ate cheese cubes,the dads talking as they drank beers and wine,the other teens probably getting high up in the bathroom.Then her eyes fell on you.
She felt her face heat up immediately,staring at you for a while.You were underdressed for the occasion,your earbuds in as you sat curled up on the couch,seeming tired of being there.She debated herself in her head,trying to decide whether to approach you or not.Eventually she gave in,walking across the room with fake confidence,sitting down next to you.She watched as you tensed up,your eyes going wide,your bottom lip between your teeth,wondering what she wanted.
You pulled out an earbud,looking up at the beautiful girl that had decided to sit next to you of all places. “Hey.”She smiled,holding out her hand to you. “Im Kiara.”She introduced herself.You pulled out your other earbud,a small grin on your face. “Hi.Im (Y/N).”You shook her hand,feeling your face heat up a bit. “So um….yeah.What song were you listening to?”She asked,trying not to laugh at how dumb she sounded.You showed her your phone,finding yourself moving closer to her on the couch. “You like Frozen ll a lot.”She laughed,watching you scroll through the playlist.
You nodded,handing her an earbud to make her listen to Lost In The Woods. “Ive never seen Frozen ll.”She admitted,watching as your jaw dropped and your eyes widened. “Kiara!Oh my god-whats wrong with you?”Your voice became higher as you talked,your hand covering your mouth.She laughed at you,shrugging. “Wait,have you seen the first one?”You asked.She nodded,watching as a look of relief came across your face. “Okay,did you like it?”You asked.She shrugged once again,smiling at your enthusiasm. 
“The second one is better I promise.”You answered.She rolled her eyes,leaning back against the couch. “Im serious!The soundtrack,the animation everything is so much better!”You exclaimed,shaking your phone as you spoke.She nodded. “Yeah,whatever you say.”She replied,watching as you tried to convince her. “You have to watch it!Please?”You pouted.She nodded,making you clap your hands in excitement as you went into your disney plus app.She watched as you scrolled through the movies,a big grin on your face because you had easily defeated her.
 “Its so cold in here.Who puts air conditioning on in december?”She complained out loud.You handed her your phone for a moment,not hesitating to pull off your sweater and hand it to her. “That’s pretty warm.”You told her,not really thinking about it.Her face turned red,biting her bottom lip as she held back a smile.
She had originally regretted her wardrobe choice of a green dress,the fabric light and flowy,her arms exposed which caused goosebumps to rise across her caramel skin.She didnt regret it now though as she pulled on your sweater,the warm fabric making the goosebumps go away.Her heart was thumping as you moved incredibly close to her,handing her an earbud and holding your phone in front of the two of you.
As you reached the point of Into The Unknown it was announced that dinner was ready,ham,turkey,potatoes,corn,rolls,pretty much everything imaginable.It disgusted you that you all had a feast of expensive,high quality food while people in The Cut were lucky to have a meal a day.The adults called the other teens downstairs for the meal and you promised Kiara that you’d finish watching it after.You two decided to sit next to eachother at the table,your sweater still on her.
She offered it back to you,saying that she didnt want to get food on it but you told her that it was fine and that it looked better on her anyways. “So the movie...what do you think about it so far?”You had asked softly as Kelce and Topper came down the stairs. “Its good.Its good,like you said,better than the first for sure.”She nodded,eyebrows furrowing when she noticed your eyes falling away from her and towards someone walking down the stairs.Sarah fucking Cameron.The blonde was wearing a nice,light grey dress that looked amazing on her figure,her hair in pretty braids.
Kiara saw the look in your eyes,the way they were full of wonder,mesmorized by Sarah Cameron.She felt like dying,like being eaten up by a black hole as she wondered how she could be so stupid.She had thought that maybe you were interested in her but it was probably because she had been the only girl there.Now that Sarah was here she would be lucky if she could get your attention back again. 
“So what do you think of the theory about Elsa?”She asked,glaring at Sarah.Your face heated up,taking your eyes off of the pretty blonde and back to Kiara. “What theory?”You asked,glancing over at Sarah every couple of moments.Kiara tried to hide her anger,covering it with a small grin. “The one about her being a lesbian.What do you think of it?”She asked,trying to learn more about you and if she even had a chance.You bit your lip,looking over at the plate of biscuits. 
“I mean,I think at this point we all just want representation in disney and in like,media in general but I dont think Elsa is a lesbian.I feel like she might be aromantic or maybe...well,I dont really know.There’s nothing-well,you know she actual might be a lesbian,”You paused,leaning forward to grab a biscuit and put it on your plate. 
“There’s this one scene in Frozen ll,ill point it out to you that has like vibes to it.But then again just because she doesnt have a male love interest doesnt exactly mean she’s a lesbian.Moana and Merida didnt have guys that they were in love with but that doesnt mean they’re lesbians.Merida might be a lesbian,have you seen how good she is in nature and cooking fish in the wild?And how she knew those berries were poison?Thats some cottage core lesbian shit.What was I talking about?”you asked,realising you had gotten caught up in the topic and had forgotten the original question.
Kiara smiled,glad to hear you speak so passionately about something. “If Elsa is a lesbian.”She held back a laugh,watching as the realisation came across your face. “Right,so the answer is yes but also no but also yes.Like at least fifty percent yes but also no but im 1000% confident in Merida being a lesbian.”You confirmed,cutting open your biscuit.She nodded,trying to think of a new topic before she lost your attention again. “So the whole thing of people shipping Else with Jack Frost.What do you think of that?”She asked,laughing when your fists slapped down in your lap,gaining the attention of Rafe and Sarah. 
“Dude literally it makes no sense!Jack Frost isnt even disney!Like the only reason anyone ever shipped them was because they have the same powers but Jack is like 300 years old and hes like...energetic and giggly and child-like and immature and she would get so annoyed so quick!She’s introverted and serious and of course theres nothing wrong with that but she gets like too embarrassed too fast and I cant see them ever getting together or even being friends.Like,Merida is most definitely a lesbian but if they’re gonna ship Jack with anyone it should be her!Their personalities are so similar.”You huffed,biting into a half of your biscuit.
She nodded,grabbing a scoop of mashed potatoes and putting it onto her plate. “Yeah,definitely.So who is your favorite disney princess?”She asked,sending a bitter glare towards Sarah.Sarah had been staring at you during your passionate speech,filtering out the other voices to listen to you.She found you fascinating,intriguing.She was trying to figure out why she didnt know you or if you were new to the island.You glanced her way,smirking to yourself when you saw her blush. “Um...I dont think I have a favorite.They’re all powerful and wonderful in their own ways and they all have pretty cool stories.Except Pocahontas,I hate that they romanticize colonization and in reality she was like ten and he was in his late twenties.The soundtrack was great though.”You shrugged,taking a sip of root beer.
She nodded,listening in to what the old folks were talking about.There were more people outside who had opted to take plates of food out there.Kiara wouldve preferred to go outside but it was colder out there and she hadnt been prepared.Her mother was looking at her from across the table but Kiara couldnt care less,too busy searching for your parents. “Hey,(Y/N)?”She asked quietly,getting your attention off of your biscuit. “Where are your parents?”She asked.You shrugged,getting your own scoop of mashed potatoes. “I think they’re outside.I dunno.”You answered.She nodded,continuing to eat,sending a glare towards Sarah every couple of moments. 
“Eat faster so we can finish the movie.”You told her,not thinking about it as you spoke.She smiled,hurrying to eat. “Wait,why dont we just go outside and watch it?”She suggested.You bit your cheek,trying to figure out why you hadnt thought of that.You nodded,standing up and picking up your root beer,balancing it on your plate and walking out of the house,Kiara close behind you. “Where are we going?”She asked.You grinned,careful as you walked down the hill. “I know a spot.”You answered,walking across the sand of the beach.
You had explored pretty much all spots of the beach and had found your favorite one,a cave behind a wall of rocks that you had personalized.You walked towards the rock wall,slipping through the crack. “What is this place?”She asked,still following you.You smiled,turning on your phone flash light so you could see the lantern that you had put in there,turning it on.Her face lit up,looking around the cave.Pillows,sheets,blankets,pretty curtains hanging from the walls,a bin of paints so you could paint the rocks. “Thats such a good question.I really dont know how it got here,I just went through the crack one day and kind of just found it.”You shrugged,sitting down in the pile of pillows and patting the spot next to you.She sat down,shifting so she was as close to you as possible,leaning her head against your shoulder to test the waters.You pulled the earbuds from you phone,turning up the volume of the movie.

Hoax - Prologue
Michael Langdon x Mallory
Summary: After failing to kill murder house Michael; Mallory must travel back in time to Sojourn era to try again. However; she finds to her horrific discovery that jumping through time repeatedly does not come without its consequences.
Words: 3.0k+
Warnings: Death, They both almost die (or do die) so.. a lot of describing wounds and nearly dying and that jazz ✌🏻, major wounds, lowkey a dark fic, Mallory discusses wanting to kill Michael and finds celebrates it??, angst, Mallory goes and sees his dead body, blood
A/N: this takes place right after Mallory drives away from Michael in the finale btw!! I literally didnt intend on making it this dark but it just happened LOL. I feel like most of the dark stuff is vague so.. it should still be chill. This is the first time ive written millory/character x character so please go easy on me!! I also tried to follow canon and stay accurate to details the best I could but knowing me I probably fucked up somehow LMAO but enjoy 💖💖 major plot twist is coming in the next chapter btw! Also Mallorys thots are italicized.
As soon as Mallory drove away; she knew nearly immeadietly that it was too good to be true. Things could never be this fucking easy.
She felt a pit in her stomach almost instantaneously once she was in the year 2015; Even though she couldnt decipher if the anxiety was a warning or something else.. She continued on with the dark destiny she was put on this earth to fulfull.. to kill the antichrist.
Even though she was fully aware of this; and had come to terms with what she had to do - she learned the hard way that it didnt seem to make things easier at all; like how she dreamed it would. Although, even now as she continued to speed away from the infamous 'murder house', the drop in her stomach seemed to only grow; along with her self doubt.
Was he really dead??
Did I really do it??
She knew that the answer to both of those questions should be yes; but the longer she remained driving in her car, getting farther and farther away from where the incident had occured.. she knew something was wrong.
Mallory suddenly jolted the steering wheel into a sharp left; continuing to turn it until she was doing U-Turn.. She couldnt help but to feel completly bewildered at her own actions - never doing something so impulsive, like going back to a crime scene let alone commit murder, in her life.
Although Mallory felt a bit disgusted with her recent previous actions; she couldnt help but imagine how disgusted she would feel with herself if she didnt pull this off. She mulled over the previous thoughts she had had about this moment and how dreamed it would feel; she thought she would feel joy, elated, and at peace but.. instead she still felt as if she was being suffocated by his presence.
He wasnt gone. Not yet.
She pressed her foot down on the gas, she knew she hadn't gone too far away from Michael's residence yet it seemed as if it was a millenia away. The task she was supposed to complete was starting to seem more and more increasingly impossible the less distance was put between them.
If running him over with a car three times wasnt enough to kill him, whose to say anything else would? What if Constance had brought him inside?? What if she was still out there with him?? Mourning?
Mallory wasnt a monster; she wasnt going to tear away a dying boy from his grandmother in his (hopefully) final moments, even if he was the antichrist.
She felt as if she was a total loss for what to do; which made her grow sick to her stomach because she knew that was a cruel form of denial. She was destined for this moment; every moment thus far had led up to this.. so why did she feel like such a failure? Her thoughts grew more foggy and distant with panic; her throat became entirely dry as she slowed the car down. The murder house now in view; the first thing she noticed.
The red bricks and stained glass windows shined brightly in the sun. The house, which Mallory was sure typically looked beautiful, radiated a terrifying aura.. even more so this time versus when she was here only a mere minutes ago. The expanse and exterior of the house was intimidating; it held a certain danger to it that she couldnt pinpoint her finger on where the source came from.. it certainly was not Michael. Mallory knew that even if he wasnt dead; his powers would fade out for atleast a few minutes from being so wounded.
Mallory stopped the car once she saw Michael's dead body; which still resided in the middle of the road. Her feelings of panic and nausea only amplified once she saw his body -  her gaze lingering upon it. She approached him with no hesitation; she could nearly feel that he was gone.. his spirit momentarily missing.. somewhere else.
She studied him carefully and nearly pitifully as she crouched down to kneel next to his body. His body was littered and splattered with bright red wounds. His pants looked as if they were dip dyed in red paint; His once pale skin along with the majority of his clothes was covered in a bright red splatter. Long, dark red lacerations decorated his face. His mouth was still agape; his once white teeth were coated in the same shade of red his clothes were.
Even though he looked absolutely horrible; Mallory still felt absolutely no remorse for the antichrist. Knowing what he would become, and his sick ways of manipulation deserved no mercy. However, knowing only seconds ago he was nothing but a mere bloody, suffering child.. she couldnt help but to not fight the tears she felt budding at her eyes; letting one slide down her cheek before quickly wiping it away - she knew it was naive to assume she wasnt being watched.
Mallory wasnt stupid - she knew her powers and what she was capable of, like the back of her hand by now. The past few months practically consisted of her testing and expanding on her limits... She knew that healing Michael in this exact moment wasnt out of the question. In fact, it almost seemed to be more difficult to restrain herself from healing him.. but she knew better.
He deserves to fucking suffer. He deserved to rot in his personal hell; wherever that may be.
She couldnt help but to nearly laugh at the thought that he finally got what was fucking coming to him.
Mallory could feel herself shaking with how close she was to Michael now. She couldnt stand how he made her feel when they were this close - almost touching.
She now was kneeling next to his body on the concrete, her knees aching from the rough surface but she couldnt go just yet. Not when she still had no fucking clue where to go from here.
The world seemed as if it came to stand still; nothing seemed like it existed outside of the small bubble that Mallory felt her and Michael were suddenly trapped in.. The birds stopped singing, no cars happened to drive by.. everything just stopped.
All the spirits and souls that Mallory could feel that were trapped within the grounds of the house, didnt bother to make a appearance either. But she knew they were still there... she could still feel their eyes on her. Watching; waiting.
The sun's warmth, which normally Mallory chose to bask in, was starting to make her itch. She could feel her skin start to moisten with sweat.. Instinctively she knew that her sudden newfound state of being uncomfortable was her cue to leave... To go where though? She wasnt sure.
Why am I still here? If everything had happened correctly; if I really killed him.. then why havent I woken up yet??
Mallory continued to stare at him grimly; not quite brave enough to speak but still managing to maintain the courage to sit by him and look at the damage she caused. The most jarring feature of Michael's current appearance would be his eyes. Mallory couldnt help but to stare at them; and it certainly wasnt because they were beautiful.
His once vibrant, sky blue, irises were now starting to look oddly dull. A faint, milky white color looked as if it were painted over them instead.
His skin was now a bruised white; Mallory shakily extended out her hand - pressing the back of her knuckles softly to his forearm. She wanted to see how cold his body was; and when she made contact - she pulled her hand back so fast as if it had been burned. She hissed, the coolness of his skin stunned her. She stared at his body intensely - shocked that she even dared to touch him, let alone even stick around for this long. 
The sounds Michael started to make is what finally drove Mallory to wake up out her near trance she found herself amidst in and to realize the reality of the situation. After minutes of silence and stillness, and sure death, Michael's chest finally started to move. The amount at which his chest moved was nearly minuscule at first; but he was recovering rather quickly.. too fucking quickly for Mallorys liking.
It was almost sickly ironic how Mallorys chest started to move faster and faster as soon as Michael's did; she couldn't help but to feel entirely panicked. The rest of her emotions; her thoughts; her feelings; everything that used to make up her was now fleeting.. rapidly leaving until as she could focus on was the oxygen briskly escaping her.
She watched the color from his skin start to return; the off putting stark whiteness leaving and a very subtle pink gracing his skin tone. More noticeably; she observed how the color in his lips and eyes returned back.. almost appearing normal.
She unconsciously found herself rising; panic still occupying all of her senses. She quickly unfolded her legs and steadied herself as she stood up.. One thought and one thought only rang through her mind like a sick mantra..
I need to get the fuck out of here.
Mallory tried to gasp as she suddenly felt her throat grow incredibly dry; she let out a desperate dry cough. Her eyes started to tear up unwillingly as she felt a enormous amount of self doubt suddenly surge into the core of her being - the feeling slipping momentarily into her soul.
The world around her began to spin and melt away simultaneously; until she felt her physical body melt away from Michael and the Murder House incredibly rapidly before she could even fully process what was happening.
She felt the harsh coldness of the bath tub water for a split second before she emerged; the black water engulfing her as she stayed partially concealed within the water. Immeadietly she found herself gasping and gagging on her tongue from not being able to breath possibly fast enough... The next thing she felt was otherworldly pain. She felt so much fucking pain.
Mallory gripped the edge of the bathtub until her fingertips turned white and her nails threatened to split. She stayed like that for a moment; spitting and gasping, trying to find a way to consume as much oxygen as possible while managing the nearly unimaginable pain. Her entire body throbbed but her eyes felt a different pain; a sickly stinging.
Keeping her posture and preventing herself from slipping entirely back into the black water was a fucking mission in itself, she quickly learned. She didnt even bother to pretend to be quiet.. Her breaths and groans were far too loud to even begin to ignore.
Is Michael still alive?  Where is Myrtle?
Mallorys lungs seemed to return to normal capacity after a while, her gasping decreased until she was utterly and completely quiet. She arose from the water as quietly as she possibly could, biting her lip to prevent making any additional noise from the sudden cold air she felt against her body.. stinging and torturous..
Her eyes still ached, bringing her hands instinctively to her eyes to stop the pain - she realized ones of her hands was still balled into a fist.. holding onto something.
Was that.. is that MICHAELS hair??
Mallory stared at the once curly, perfectly golden strands of hair that lie in her balled up fist in complete horror - it was now a dark red from the blood that had washed off her skin and into the water.
There was no way this was HIS hair. It had to be someone elses; anyone elses! She refused to believe that she was holding onto anything that belonged or had to do with Michael... complete disgust and delirium rendered her from thinking that.
Her first instinct was to drop the hair; but something told her to keep holding onto the lock, it would only serve her well in the future.
Her vision was inky with blood; dark red clouding her vision and making her feel even more impaired and utterly hopeless then she already felt.. even with the large wound still gaping and bleeding from her stomach. Her stomach wound made her entire body ache, trying to stay conscious was a fight within itself.
It happened again. I failed.
She wasnt sure if she was just being cynical or if her thoughts were even to be trusted anymore when she was in this state.. she only knew she wanted this horrible nightmare to be fucking over with already. She wanted to wake up in Robichauxs and see her sisters; Misty, Madison, Queenie, Zoe and more than anyone.. Cordelia... Oh fuck.
Cordelia... She was still dead.. because of me.
Mallory blinked slowly a few times; taking her free hand and wiping as much blood away from her face and eyes as she could - just enough so she could fully take in her surroundings.
If she could feel her stomach; she was sure she would feel it drop because as much as she looked, she saw no one. Absolutely no one. Tears slipped down her cheeks but they werent bloody anymore. She knew she was completely fucked; he had her cornered.
Well not literally anyways. He still managed to lurk somewhere within the vast empty walls of Outpost Three; most likely looking for her.. but he had to know she was fatally wounded.. right? 
That's when out of the thick silenceness, she heard the first sign of life. Loud; but distant heavy footsteps.
Michael.
She knew she was fucked right away. She could almost feel his spirit itself within Hawthorne; the feeling slowly flowing to her until it forced her to be frozen. Petrified, still sopping wet and with some left over blood dripping off her chin - she knew what she had to do.. and she only had seconds to do it. Mallory knew he was approaching closer and closer the longer she stood docile in the bathtub.. like a idiot.
She took deep, heavy breaths. Fully; for the first time, cherishing the feeling of oxygen in her lungs - knowing that she very well might not make it out alive. Preforming time travel once alone was a enormous feat; but she had already done it twice.. but three times?
The thought simultaneously scared and excited her; she continued take deep breaths before relaxing. Closing her eyes and focusing; searching for a moment in Michael's history to go back too.
There had to be another time Michael was weak besides when he was with Constance at the murder house.. Another time that he felt abandoned.. lost.. confused..
She swallowed as she felt and focused on the soft strands of hair that she held onto; trying to search desperately for the answer that she needed as she took the next step and plunged herself under the water, first barely managing to weakly whisper, "tempus infinituum".
The water tore at her skin as she felt herself letting go from the past reality... slowly yet rapidly her senses seemed to all melt away at once before she was floating- until nothing.
Suddenly Mallory opened her eyes, blinking as she kept calm as she adjusted to her new surroundings.. an open, nearly empty forest was what welcomed her as she slowly spun around.
The smell of pine leaves and the heavy scent of the forest consumed her senses. She first felt calm and at peace; the forest was beautiful. She almost felt tempted to forget about what she came here to do and to lose herself within the sea of greenery but.. something was terribly wrong.
More so; someone was here.
Mallory first stood still; puzzled as to why she was now standing in a vacant forest with pine needles at her feet.
She didnt dare say a word out loud, just in case, but she knew she was waiting for something before she dared to take a step.. she was waiting for a sign. She didnt bat a eye when she felt a soft, warm breeze tousle her hair forward. She felt it continue to crash against her body - almost like soft waves crashing upon rocks. She felt it on her warm skin; her skin getting goosebumps as she knew what this meant. She was getting her sign.
This is it. Is he here?
Mallory giggled at the mere thought; the anticipation and glee of imagining how this nightmare perhaps could be over in the near future was making her experience true euphoria.
She began to walk through the forest; passing several trees as she searched for what she was yearning for. The breeze was far gone by now but she knew to keep going; to keep looking. She looked at the forest landscape that lie ahead of her; a sea of moss and blended greens and blues. The forest didnt have the same magic it typically held though; something was missing.
It was because she was getting closer to him.
Mallory had to suppress a scream as she suddenly felt herself step on something that wasnt the forest floor. She felt a painful shiver run directly down her spine, almost as if someone was running a blade down her back. She was becoming consumed with panic once more; and with the sudden realization what was happening.. What this meant.
It was pure reflex which caused her to take a step back; even before she had the opportunity to look down and confirm her suspicions, she knew exactly what she had stepped on. A body.
She quickly looked down at what she had stepped on - not able to take the anonymity of the individual any longer.. and of course..
I fucking knew it.
She recognized who it was immeadietly, curly blonde hair that was mangled with dirt and a typical black outfit.. it was too easy to guess the identity of the body. He was face down, his body sprawled out unnaturally and in a uncomfortable manner..
It was once again; Michael Langdon.

Wouldn’t Dream Of It [H.H.]
Request: harry hook angst where he goes to help on auradon even though you ask him not to leave and when he finds out mal isn’t letting anymore kids off the isle, he freaks out but there’s a cute/angst scene at the end when you come across the bridge from the isle and he has a chance to apologize and tell you how he feels? how he couldnt fathom being away from you that long again and it put everything into perspective? idk, just a thought. love your writing, beautiful
Please don’t plagiarize my work!
Word Count:
Tumblr media
“Harry, please...”
“You could come with me—“
“And leave my father? Harry, you know I can’t do that.”
Harry hesitates, lips left parted as he stares down at you. The desperation in your eyes damn near crushes every single resolve within him, but one glance at the barrier and Harry knows he can’t waste this opportunity.
You take a step forward, hands held over before yourself uselessly. Lips left parted, you shake your head, reaching out for Harry. “Please,” you whisper softly, eyes begging.
“They’ll never be another chance like this.” Harry reminds, and even if a small part of you hopes; you can see plain as day he’s already made up my mind. It’s written in his eyes, the way he inches backwards, knowing his time is running out. “Just come with me. Please.”
Harry wasn’t one to beg. He got what he wanted, whether willingly or not. But even he wasn’t about to just lug you over his shoulder and drag you out. You were one of the few VK’s who actually had a decent relationship with their parent, and Harry knew it would break your heart to leave your father.
But he didn’t want to do this without you.
His words, despite soft and gentle, pleading, seem to cut deep. Harry watches as your facial expression steals and your jaw clenches, eyes hardening. Essentially, you mask what’s beneath; your heart breaking into millions of pieces.
“If you’re going to go,” you pause, unable to stop the waver in your voice. “Just go. Because I’m not leaving without my father.”
Harry swallows thickly, unable to stop the way his eyes widen. He’s never felt more disconnected from you then in this moment.
And then he hears Gil, calling for him.
You cross your arms, watching Harry.
“I’ll be back for you,” Harry finally says, shuffling backwards. “For you and your father.”
Your arms fall to your side, watching as he runs off; without you. For a moment you’re stunned, in actual disbelief that yes, he had just left you. All because he was too impatient to wait for you.
Biting your lip, you hold back your tears. He’s not worth it. Anyone who could just... just leave you like that, without ever truly knowing if he’d see you again...
He’s not worth it.
-
“What do you mean ‘you’re not letting anymore kids in from the isle?’”
Mal blinks, eyes flickering to Harry’s own and the rage the floods them.
He takes a step forward, jaw clenching as he raises his hand, pointing his Hook threateningly Mal’s way. She’d never admit to, but the crazed look in his way causes her to falter in fear just a little. She’s never seen such anger before. “You promised that if we helped you, you’d break the barrier.”
Swallowing thickly, Mal raises her chin, “it was a lie. I didn’t know what else to do.”
But... Y/N...
He’d just... left you there. Like you were nothing. He’d tried to go back, instantly regretting his decision but it’d been too late. Then, when he was wallowing in his own guilt, Mal had said she’d break the barrier. Promised she would.
Clenching his fist, Harry let’s out a bellow of anger, raising his fist and slamming it into the tree directly next to Mal’s head. She can’t help but flinch, the rest jumping into action, having believed the pirate had meant the hit for her.
Instead he just glares down at her, “you bit—“
“We won’t send you back,” King Ben interjects, taking a step forward. He has the actual audacity to set his hand on Harry, causing the boys flaming eyes to fall on him. “We can’t let anymore on, but you three can stay. You, Uma and Gil—“
Harry rips his arm from Ben, “send me back. I don’t want live in luxury while others suffer.” Turning the Uma, she seems to catch onto his look, stepping forward. “Besides, I have someone I need to see.”
-
He never did get to go back.
Surprisingly and for once, King Ben stuck true to his words. Harry was forced to stay all while you were stuck on the other side of the barrier thinking Harry has abandoned you.
And he had. He never should’ve left you that day.
But all of that seemed to cease to matter the second the Fairy God Mother broke open the barrier. Harry watched with barely concealed glee as that dreaded barrier was broken, ripped into shreds, destroyed.
And yet, all he could think of was you.
He pushed his way through the crowds, search for you. It only took him a few moments before he spotted you, walking hand in hand with your father. Despite everything, Harry couldn’t stop himself from rushing forward, one foot in front of the other until he reached you, instantly pulling you into his arms.
You gasped in surprise, hands flailing next to you as Harry pulled you tight against himself.
And then, seconds later, when he pulled back, panting, all you could do was stare blankly up at him.
“Y/N—“
“You left me, Harry.” You cut off, voice cold. “Don’t expect me to be happy to see you out.”
“I’m sorry,” Harry says without hesitation. “I tried to come back, I did. But it was too late and then, when I realized I might never see you again, I realized that I don’t want that. I don’t ever want to live in a world without you. I should’ve realized it sooner because I nearly lost you for it, Y/N. And I’m just... just so sorry...”
You blink, having never expected that from Harry.
Your father takes your silence as a chance to put his two-cents in; “kiss him!”
Turning to your father in disbelief, you scoff. Harry chuckles, pulling your eyes back on him as he meets your eyes softly.
Biting your lip, you take a step forward, slipping your hand into his. “Never do that again.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it.”
Smiling, you cup his cheek, lips inches away from his own. “Good.”

The Never-Ending Tunnel
This is a story I turned in for an official grade a few months ago. I received 100% on it. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as my teacher did. CW: violence, suicide, death, no happy ending
Home. A warm, cosey place where the masks fall and one becomes their true self. House. A place to sleep, eat, and shower. Oftentimes without the characteristics of “home.” You see, there's a big difference between the two. For home is a place of love, house? Much different.
Where I live could barely be considered a house, and a home, much less. My shelter is a secluded tunnel, with no exit nor entry without permission. It's a long, green, never ending tunnel filled with bushes and the greens of blooming leaves. Inside is an eternal summer, warmth that is often mistaken for happiness. However, it is under a black, violent, sun that the warmth emerges from. My father, a widowed man, is that sun. He's as violent as can come, and he's been trapped just like me. I figure it's the tunnel that's driven him into insanity, an abuser and brute. Sometimes during the warm nights I'm too bothered to sleep, sometimes, I hear him crying.
I was conceived and born in this tunnel, and I haven't been able to escape. To escape the pain of eating just summer berries my entire life, too escape the red burning gashes on my skin. I just want to leave, like my mother left before me.
The story behind the tunnel is one of urban legends “normal” people tell to shock their friends. It goes something like this
“Look at that bush. Now it may *look* small, but it's not. It's said, if you choose to enter, you'll be trapped inside forever. One time, a woman went in and never came out. Apparently, inside is eternally summer, but the only thing you can eat is the berries that grow inside. And if you dare try to leave, the vines will suffocate you.”
That's one of the stories I can hear people telling outside the bush. Most after hearing it choose to leave, or not challenge it. But if they do try, most don't make it. The vines close around their fingers like it does those that try to escape, and they flee. Most details in their tails are pretty accurate, but they left out a few things.
The bush is a larger entity outside its plant form. Once entered It grows to an infinite length, one resembling a train track. Just coated with an arch of greenery. The bush refuses anyone it does not want, and will kill them with the strangulation of vines upon entry. Same goes for anyone wanting to leave. And the woman. She was my mother.
At the age of 23 years old, my mother dare challenge the bush after a bet with her friends. The bush liked her, she was beautiful, I'm told. And so the bush accepted her, inviting her in with the warmth of what seemed to be happiness. She was wrong. Quickly, she learnt that escape was nearly impossible. And that she was destined to live out her days in this mistakenly beautiful tunnel. It was then later that my dad stumbled into the tunnel. A drunk boy with a man's body holding at 21 years old. He too, learnt the truth very quickly. The only reason the bush accepted him was for his looks. That's why they both were there.
Being the only two people in the bush and driven by the nerve witting insanity of isolation, I was soon conceived. The birth went smoothly, however, it was something else that caused my mothers death. Postpartum psychosis. She stared at me, the one thing she thought could bring her love in this hell, and my face transformed. She saw me as a monster, to be a brute abuser like my dad was turning out to be. Her eyes amused by this psychosis made me look like the very monster that was keeping her here. She thought of me as the devils reincarnation, the one who was chaining her too this fate. And so, driven by the murderous rage, but not enough will to kill. She took her own life instead.
I was 5 when it happened, or something of the sort. 1875 moons had passed since my birth when she did it.
With my calloused, bruised feet I walked up to her, She was staring at the side of the bush, and she looked back at me, the look on her face emaciated with the pain of this hell. And then, never braking her stare, she stepped into the bush. I watched, as the vines crept around her wrists, neck, ankles, and around her side. And crushed her. Painting the leaves a colour I had never seen before. Red. The colour of blood. With the drips polluting the green of the shelter I must call a house, It was then a I knew, I could never escape. And that I too, had only one fate. Only driven by despair. An escape, that would cost my life.
And then, my dad's time came. And he too, faced the same fate. The leaves once again, after 5500 moons since my birth, he too, painted the world red.
I was alone, 15, and alone. Isolated from the world, I learnt to hate everything. The demons, the vines, the leaves, the branches, the rails, my parents, and most of all myself.
I prayed that there would be a happy ending. But I had no hope, none at all. Only the despair. Only the bone crushing hate that was living.
And so my time came to, the exact same way my parents had gone before me.
At 6034 moons, I let the vines encase me, around my wrists, thighs, ankles, and neck. And I felt as they crushed my windpipe, bones and my final strande of hope. And I listened to my own screams and rustling of the vines until final, the final vine tightened and the world of red I had created around me turned black.
Relief. There was no more hope, and there was no more despair. The world stopped turning. And all that was left was the contrasting red-on-green crime scene I had left behind. Born into nothing, and died in nothing. The hell house of the tunnel had finally ended for me. My story had no “happy” ending, but in the moment I only saw black, I was finally free.
I couldnt breath nor think, but the melancholy had finally stopped. It was still, and calm. Not warm or cold. Neutral. I was free, and I was home.
This is all based off a prompt from pobble.com. It’s and image, if you’d like to see go to the image from February 25th 2021 to see it. Also at first I accidentally posted this to my other blog, repasting it was a hassle lol.

A/n: Finn is my ideal type oops🤭💀 feel free to request💕
Warning⚠️:drug use
How you met:
🤘Finn Slater Anson🤘
• You and Finn met at one of his concerts.
• The drummer for his band was your best friends brother, Jessie,and he gave you two back stage passes so you could hang out with them after the show.
• Of course you didn't pass up the chance to go to a Curdled Blood concert,and she was just happy that she didn't have to go alone.
• "My brothers band is real cool you know? Nothing like you'd expect them to be. Well except maybe Finn,he's kinda creepy"
• She definitely sounded like she thought he was more than just kinda creepy,but you just shook it off. If she wasn't worried than neither were you.
• The concert was incredible. Both you and your friend got the privilege of sitting in the VIP area,where you were close enough to the stage to touch the band.
• It was your first time seeing them preform and you were more than impressed. Especially with the lead singer.
• You never expected someone who looked so grungy could have such an amazing voice,but you were hypnotized from the moment he started to the moment they got off stage.
• It wasnt long before a big guy with 'staff' written in his black tshirt led you to the back stage area,where you saw everyone except the lead singer celebrating with shots.
• Your friend squealed loudly as she ran towards Jessie,and you smiled softly as they exchanged hugs and greetings.
• You couldnt help but feel a little awkward as she introduced you to everyone,only being able to give a small wave and a high pitched "hi" with resulted in them cooing at how cute you were,making you turn bright red,much to their amusement.
• They kept up the friendly teasing until a deep,almost hypnotic voice sounded from behind you,taking everyone's attention.
• "Well,well,well. What do we have here?"
• There,in all his sweaty shirtless glory,was the lead singer of Curdled blood,Finn Anson,and his deep blue eyes were looking straight at you.
• His long dark hair stuck to his face and shoulders,and the stud in his eyebrow glistened under the light.
• Even flushed and covered in sweat,he was unbelievably beautiful.
• Suddenly you regretted dressing in such tight clothes as his eyes trailed over your figure,his tongue peircing flashing as he licked over his teeth.
• Jessie was the first one to break the tence silence with an awkward laugh,throwing his arm over your shoulders. "Finn! You remember my little sister right? This is her friend (Y/n)! You know the one she always talks about.?"
• Finn smiled sweetly,"(Y/n) huh?" He bent down to eye level, sticking out his hand for you to shake "Well (Y/n) it's real nice to finally meet you"
• You felt your face flush at his closeness,and all you could do was nod shyly and stutter out a hello,taking his much larger hand in yours.
• Instead of shaking it,he brought it to his lips,placing a small peck on the back of your hand.
• You made a small noise of surprise,making him chuckle as he stood straight up again.
• You heard the people behind you let out an audible sigh of relief,which made his eyes shoot to them.
• Something dangerous flickered behind the deep blue hues before his face was overtaken with a giant charming smile.
• "Great show you guys! You fuckin' killed that solo Joey!" You saw the lead guitarist smile nervously "thanks man! It wouldn't have been so great if you didn't spend all that time helpin us out."
• Finn rolled his eyes,smile still present "pshh don't give me that! You guys were amazing." His smile turned into a smirk. "I think this calls for a celebration dont you?"
• His question was directed at the band,but his eyes landed on you again,and you felt heat rise to your face.
• After that the night only got more overwhelming. It was a mess of groupies,alcohol and drugs. Smoke filled your lungs every time you passed a crowd and at this point you were begging to find a door out of the suite so you could get some fresh air.
• Your friend was nowhere to be found,and all of the noise and fumes were starting to make you dizzy.
• It felt like hours before you found the exit,and you practically ran to the door,throwing it open and dashing towards the balcony.
• You took a few deep breaths trying to clear your lungs of smoke,before you heard a familiar deep chuckle.
• Your head snapped towards the sound,and you saw Finn sitting on a deep red sofa at a dark wood table,a mess of white powder and an assortment of mushrooms,pills and a frightening amount of switchables scattered in front of him.
• A tall brunette in a tight black dress was seated on the armrest next to him,running her acrylics through his hair. She stood out even between the three other people sat on the sofa,snorting whatever was in front of them
• "I take it your not use to this kinda scene? Either that or you took something bad cause you look like your about to pass out."
• It took a while for you to process that he was talking to you,and when you finally did a you could do was nod dumbly.
• He chuckled again and motioned to the girl,who stood up and walked over to you,grabbing your hand,leading you to sit next to Finn on the sofa before going inside "Awhh poor baby,you're feeling a bit overwhelmed aren't you?" He cooed,pressing his cold black painted fingers to your forehead.
• He pulled away and reached over the table,grabbing a rolled up bill and putting it to his nose,quickly snorting 3 long lines of white powder before pulling back with a sigh,sniffing a few times and leaning back
• You stared up at him,taking in how his long lashes rested on his flushed cheeks when you saw a bit of blood trickle out of his nose. You gasped softly making him open his eyes amd look at you.
• "Hey i got something that can help you calm down and enjoy the party. What do you say?" He smirked wiping the blood away.
• You shook your head slowly. "N-no thank you." He laughed lightly and moved to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear.
• "You can trust me okay? I'll be with you the whole time. It only lasts for a couple of hours" You looked down and considered it for a second as he reached over the table again,grabbing a small square with a smiley face on it and pressing it against his tongue,just below his piercing.
• Before you could protest,he grabbed your face and pulled you in for a messy kiss,his tounge pressing against yours.
• You moaned involuntarily,partially because of the surprise but mostly at the feeling of his soft lips and the salty taste of iron mixed with the slightly bitter taste of whatever he had in his mouth invading your senses.
• You couldn't help but lean into him,your hands going up to grab at his shirt. He chucked into your mouth,letting out a curse before deepening the kiss,only for a second before pulling away.
• He stuck his tongue out again and laughed and your flustered state,and you could see that the little square was completely gone.
• "That should help you relax a little." He reached over the table again,this time grabbing a small switch blade,admiring it for a bit before clicking it open "Now the real fun begins"

can i request a threesome with minho and hyunjin? like where you have sex with hyunjin and minho walks in on you but hyunjin is like come here bro or something haha
Hyunjins thrusts were slow as he held you to his body, the bedsheets covering you both as you simultaneously tried to keep quiet.
He had made sure you kept the hoodie he leant you on, even under the covers, as he pressed your flushed face to his chest, cooing softly at your little whines now and then, at the feeling of his cock dragging over your walls it was almost impossible to remain silent, his lips were on your own in an instant, trying to muffle a groan of his own, as his hand moved to grasp the soft skin of your neck underneath the hoodie, the cold touch of his metallic rings against the warm skin caused you to shudder and clench around your boyfriend, causing him to smile through the kiss, his soft, longish hair tickling the side of your face as he playfully squeezed your throat. The resulting whine caused him to stare at you lovingly, his hips slowing under the covers as he smiled down at you, observing the beautiful lines of your face, the soft blush adorning your cheeks.
“Youre so fucking beautiful” he whispers softly, trying to be quiet as he knew that someone could walk past the dormroom door at any time, or even walk in ,his hips starting again as he pressed his plump lips against your own again.
the hood on your head was too big, then again, it was hyunjins so ofcourse it was. His hand was still wrapped around your throat when the door suddenly opened, hyunjin immediately stilled his hips as his eyes opened wide suddenly.
“Yo hyunj- oh fuck” minhos voice was abrupt in the otherwise silent room, his breath hitching as he watched the youngers hand move from your neck, a blush on your cheeks as you buried your face closer to hyunjins chest, embarrassed, but still so turned on. You clenched around hyunjins cock in that moment, and hyunjins hand immediately went back to your throat, applying a soft pressure as warning.
“You okay hyung, having?” The cockiness of hyunjins tone had you dripping around him, he was talking down to his hyung, but from what you could see, minho played along. He seemed lost in thought.
“Y-yeah fine- im gonna go-“
“Wait, hyung” hyunjin suddenly said in a teasing tone, kissing your cheek softly before looking into your eyes.
Minho gulped audibly as hyunjin moved the blankets from off of the top of you both, making minho quickly shut the door fully, a small blush on his face as he saw that only your top halves were covered with clothing, your underwear was pulled down to your thighs as hyunjins cock remained deep inside you, that was, until he pulled out to face Minho.
Minho had a hard time not staring at both you and hyunjin, eyes flickering from your heat, to hyunjins erection, still covered in the glint of your essence, as he stayed frozen in his tracks.
“What do you think bub? Wanna try something.. new?” Hyunjin whispered into your ear softly, still loud enough for minho to hear.
With the small nod from you, pressing your lips to hyunjins before whispering “im yours. Only yours.” To him, hyunjin smirked and turned back to minho.
“Shes mine, but we can have some fun”
Hyunjins hands remained on you at all times when Minho was nearby, and you couldnt help but feel conflicted at your boyfriends suggestion, as he was usually quite possessive over you. The adition of his close friend was foreign, and you felt a weight on your shoulders.
“Once. Only once. You dont get to fuck her. She will suck you off as I fuck her, okay?” Hyunjins voice was demanding, and strong, and minho agreed instantly, looking toward you as hyunjin moved you into a comfortable position, setting you on your side, him laying with his chest pressed to your back, as he slid himself inside, making you whimper into the sleeve of the hoodie, making Minho moan at the sight.
“Youre both so fucking hot” he comments, watching the scene unfold, as the younger boy pushed his cock as far as he could within you, fingers gripling your thighs tightly.
“Hyung, get your pants off, boxers down.”
The elder followed his orders, moving closer to the bed so that you could see his erection, he was hard, purely from watching you two together.
“Are you sure?” He asks softly, before hyunjin kisses you deeply, looking into your eyes before mumbling “mine”, making you nod.
You leant over and reached out your hand to palm minhos member, soreading his precum around the tip and down the shaft, occasionally squeezing, before hyunjin got bored, and told minho to lie down on his back, in a way that you could still access him.
Your lips found his cock, and you first licked a bold stripe up the underside, earning a shudder from the elder. “Fuck” he mumbled, before groaning when you inserted him into your mouth, sucking softly, before hyunjin began to fuck into you harder, teeth biting down on your shoulder as his pace became relentless, “look at you getting tight with another mans cock in your mouth hm? So fucing tight around my cock baby, arent you?” Hyunjin groaned, the constant pushing into you guided minhos cock to hit the back of your throat, gagging slightly, when you felt minhos cock throb, you felt alarmed, seeing him so turned on and already cumming, you were surprised. “Fuck im cumming- shit-“ he released into your mouth with a shudder, his thighs twitching as he guides you off of his member, making you catch your breath before hyunjin turns you onto your back beneath him, causing minho to get lost in the scene again, as hyunjins hand travels back up to the softness that is your throat, applying a soft pressure again that has you keening and clenching around his cock, a smile on his face as he beings you to your orgasm, kissing you softly as he came to his own, his cum dripping down your thigh in the aftermath.
“Thankyou, hyung” hyunjin said aoftly, before motioning for him to go.
Minho left immediately, and you looked up into hyunjins eyes, only to see a fondness.
“Whats up?” You said softly, brushing a strand of hair out of his face.
“Nothing. I just love that we can try things and figure things out.” He mumbled before kissing you again softly.
“Did you like sharing me?” You tease, whispering to him, before you giggled and yelped, feeling a soft bite against your earlobe.
“Absolutely not, you, baby, are mine.”

Okay TROS thoughts...here we go. I’m putting them all below the cut in case somehow you’ve avoided spoilers
so general thoughts...i didnt hate it nearly as much as i thought i would so thats pleasant but im gonna break it down more
things i liked:
Adam Driver.  just Adam. Fucking. Driver my dudes. This is like a backhanded compliment because JJ is so fucking lucky Adam was cast because the emotional depth of the film rested literally all on his shoulders for me. I only felt the weight if he was acting in a scene. 
I’ll admit im biased but I did adore the interaction between Finn and Poe. Their bickering amused me and the tenderness between them was wonderful...I think Oscar played Poe a bit jealous as well which i liked.
the Reylo scenes to me where beautiful. Ben never lied to her, she tried to deny it but she knew he never did. I loved that he was kinda guiding her, protecting her, loving her, and antagonizing her all at once. I loved how soft their kiss was, their smiles are literally the light of my life. Rey’s face when she healed him. Ben just staring at her as she tells him she did want to take his hand...just chef’s kiss
I loved the saber fights. Ben’s fight at the beginning was hot as fuck...and his fight as newly redeemed Ben Solo was even hotter somehow.
 I enjoyed the fight scenes between ben and rey! how often ben just let her walk away, and despite that one scene which i will mention below...i like i even tho rey was rather aggressive idk...it didnt really feel like she was trying to hurt him much either? i just think they had a lot of chances to kill each other and didnt take it...so i like that
i knew she was looking at ben in that clip i knew it...she only makes that soft face at him
I always enjoy stupid ass C3PO jokes for some dumbass reason
Han and Ben’s scene was heartbreaking and beautiful. Again tho JJ is fucking lucky to cast Adam cause recycling dialogue from TFA wouldnt have worked at all had Adam not been so fucking amazing
the save chewie hall blaster scene was fun 
i liked how fucking dramatic children ben and rey were with that damn ship lol...no im gonna force pull it...no im gonna...what dorks
while i didnt like the entire way the force bond was used i did enjoy seeing it still strong and growing
confirming canon soulmate reylo was a highlight
ben’s hair looked bomb
finn’s outfit was cool
Jannah was beautiful (please correct me if i misspell her name)
dark rey was glorious tho 
that new little droid is literally me so i adore it
that sith cave thing was really fucking cool looking 
the visuals of the film were most of the time stunning 
sooooo...now to what i didn’t like:
I think this first one is the most obvious for those who know me but...Ben’s death just feels so utterly useless to me. especially when they gave him a metaphorical death earlier in the film. i feel extremely hurt and betrayed. Disney has gone out of their way to make us sympathize with Ben Solo. They’ve revealed more and more of his past...how alone he was, the abuse he suffered from snoke and palpatine. just fuck...they just kill him...the moment he realizes he’s free and loved they end his life....literally WHAT THE FUCK. it’s a chicken shit way out of a redemption arc honestly. Not letting u just breath after his death was also so horrible. We barely got to see Rey mourn, we got a split second of it then it jumped to another scene...another second of her looking sadly at her sabor to have the moment interrupted 
tag on to above but...they didnt have him as a force ghost cause Disney is intentionally keeping where he is ambiguous so they can sell more shit which pisses me off so much
thats not how the force works
there couldnt have been that many sith could there??? cause like there can only be 2 at one time....fucking rule of 2 so how the hell were there that many
palps being like...see i actually want you to kill me...is ridiculous
rey palpatine is the most idiotic thing i have ever heard. Rey being a no one from no where was such an amazing thing. Just anyone can be strong in the force...you dont need royal blood to make you worth something....then they just retcon that??? the fuck I MEAN THE FUCK. 
Finn does nothing but worry about Rey the whole film. I know folks dont like his storyline in TLJ and while i understand that and do think it could have been written better i still adore it because Finn grew. He grew from just caring about a small group of people to caring about an idea to caring about something bigger than him. I didnt see any growth in his character in this film. His heroics were beautiful to see and I enjoyed seeing his heart but that was John’s acting more than the writing it think. 
sidelining rose was fucking disgusting 
the trio felt forced to me
the leia scenes didnt work for me honestly and they mostly just made me sad
bringing in lando now felt weird 
ive wanted force sensitive finn for a while but didnt feel right
why the fuck have finn want to tell rey something but never do...ugh i hate storytelling like that
they never explained how palps is back...he just is
rey stabbing ben felt odd to me. i loved the moment when she healed him, and i know technically her anger and darkside was coming out and she acted on instinct...nevermind that even before leia called out to him ben coudnt follow thru with the killing blow. 
....i’m sure i’ll think of more as i get angrier 
anyways over all...id be lying if moments didnt make me laugh or smile...if i didn’t feel a sense of nostalgia and enjoyment for 80% of this movie. The thing is that even with so much of it being enjoyable to me it still felt void. An action movie, with new characters, a confusing plot and very minimal emotional depth.
The emotion hinged soooo much on Adam or me. The biggest reason for that aside from that fact that Ben Solo is one of my all time favorite characters, is that the things Rey is dealing with in the film are directly related to her being a palpatine...and i HATE THAT. Like straight up wanna fling it into the sun. 
Rey never needed to be related to a force royal bloodline. She should have been allowed to remain strong because she was just strong. Kylo’s equal in every way, not because she was the granddaughter of a sith which btw you can’t inherit force powers. Retconing something so touching and unique from TLJ was just...fucking idiotic. All to please the loud but small misogynistic fandom that thought a woman couldnt be that strong on her own so she must be related to someone
The biggest thing....tho is killing Ben. it felt so unnecessary and just...i feel so betrayed. The interviews leading up to the film got my hopes up that i was worried for nothing. I always thought they’d kill him, because cinema seems to not know what to do with characters has tragic as him without just killing him in the end. we already got a redemption = death plotline in this franchise...why couldnt we get a redemption = life instead??? My friend who doesnt even like sw that much...tros was actually the 2nd sw fim she’s ever seen...thought it was unnecessary as well and agrees with me a lot about my feelings despite not having the same intense emotional attachment to him as me. She for a moment thought they’d be together at the end but nope. Its just...pointless to me now, the sacrifices han, luke, and leia made to reach Ben are for nothing. Their deaths...pointless...Ben means so fucking much to me. I’ve never felt such an intense emotional bond with a character before so im just hurting so fucking much right now.
Rey taking the name Skywalker isnt hopeful or cute its a slap in the face honestly...and it’s just weird! 
The last Skywalker died loved and held by the woman he loved and that is beautiful to me. He died happy and a hero thats a balm at least...but to not let him be the one to kill palpatine...after everything EVERYTHING he put him and his family thru was another just fuck...i wanted justice for him and he just got thrown away
Ultimately...Ben and Rey are soulmates and their force bond was severed. Palpatine didnt take that from them because he couldnt have...again not how the force works....but JJ used that bond to be a battery???? the fuck...but ultimately hes forcing Rey to live the rest of her days with a gaping wound in her soul. a wound unable to be filled and will be with her for the rest of her life...thats so fucking tragic to me. you give rey someone who is her equal, who understands her, and you take him from her and force her to be alone for the rest of her life?? and we are supposed to not see that as a tragedy? Her being fineishness at the end of the film seemed like direction from either the writing or in the moment, but just further proves he didnt bother to even understand the lore he was using. Force bonds were considered i quess legends in the current SW canon but Rian brought it back...so it’s back. and well
  "A bond between two living beings is not something easily broken. It is not a choice… it is like breaking a feeling. Like turning away from the Force. To break a bond, your feelings would have to change, or one of you would have to die—but even then, the bond wouldn't go away, it would simply… it would simply be empty, a wound."―Master Zez-Kai Ell[src]
and .... the only way to break it was to turn away from the Force, as Surik did on Malachor V. So basically it all came down to creating a wound in the Force”
sooo yeah...im pissed i’d give this movie a 1 1/2 out of 5 
thank you for those who have read my rantings! I hope at least some of this made sense

Sleeping with the fishes (poly fic)
Mun: hey everyone i got this idea from a song so i decided why not write about it ;3 the two female ocs are mine but the sharkman belongs to a friend @blood-dark-shells03 love you sis and i hope i got your sharkman spot on
Carmen sat at the large marble table glaring at the empty chair across from her she then turned to marco who sat next to her "so what did she say was what doing again?" Of course asking where toni was since she has been late almost three times this month to their meetings "she said she was having lunch with a close friend" marco replied and carmen rolled her eyes, toni and carmens relationship was very strange to everyone they knew since they hated each other but when in the same room you would think they were the bestest friends "sorry im late i wanted to make sure he wasnt hungry during our meeting" toni walked in on the arm of the very shark that carmen had just had dinner with last night "uhm so your late because of lunch?" Carmen gave toni a look of controlled anger "yes, i wouldnt want to eat tonis friends" slicer squeezed tonis hip and she giggled. Taking her seat across from carmen slicer sat at the only empty chair in between carmen and toni and the meeting proceeded as usual but carmen couldnt really focus seeing as slicer kept glancing over at her staring at her and whispering to her about their date last night which caught the attention of toni who was confused, she knew that the two of them knew each other but the way he was looking at her and how she just leaned into him smirking and biting her lip toni was shocked and suspicious that maybe they were more than that but she wasnt one to give up what she wanted that easily "alright clearly you three have other things on your minds so meetings over" cyrus got up obviously pissed at them. Carmen rolled her eyes over cyrus being dramatic before she stood up grabbing her coat and purse heading out the door to her car but slicer stopped her standing very close seeming to try and seduce her since he knew she loved how big and strong he was aside from being weak in the knees from how he looked in a suit she kept up her games "and what do you want? Cause whatever it is you can get it from that ditzy broad", crossing her arms she stared him down as he smirked at her "what? i was just thinking we could have dinner tonight since we had so much fun last night" he chuckled remember how drunk she got and how sweet she was when she was drunk and horny because the champagne "oh no! Go have dinner with that-" slicer interrupted her "you arent jealous are you?" he asked and she stopped growling at him. This shark would be the death of her "fine, whatever but dont think that im like her" slicer nodded "i know you arent, you taste sweeter" carmens jaw drop at how unbelievable he was "oh fuck off shark boy" she put her coat on as he laughed reaching for her she pushed him away "save it for tonight you big fish, you have a lot of kissing up to do" she said before walking to her car with swaying hips knowing he was watching her, toni walked out with marco talking over some business plans but once she saw slicer she quickly finished up those plans "so?" She said playing with his tie "we still on for tonight?" Toni asked him and he tensed up completely forgetting he made plans with her already "uh yes we are babe, of course" the shark man smiled he could still have dinner with both of them, right?
Soon as the day turned to night slicer decided to have them come to his place which was by the beach and had a beautiful view of the city at night but he was mostly worried about the two ladies causing a scene since carmen had avidly told him about how they only fake get along for business but he hoped that they could get along long enough for the three of them to have a nice night together, the sound of a door bell rang out as his first guest arrived "hello toni, dont you look good enough to eat" he greeted the beauty and she smiled "oh well i hope you can at least wait until after dinner before you go for dessert" she swayed her hips walking past him into the house looking around never having been to his house before "i love the decor, slicer" she stated walking into the livingroom sitting on the couch. Before the boss lady could ask what they were having to drink the door bell rang again and she looked confused "slicer....." She questioned but he left to answer the door ignoring her confusion opening the door he found carmen standing at the door holding a bottle of champagne "hope you dont mind i thought we could pick up where we left off last night" she smirked biting her lip, carmen snarled seeing toni walk up behind slicer "what is she doing here!?" Carmen pointed at toni "what am i doing here? i was invited" slicer groaned over the two womens unnecessary bickering "i invited you both, you're both hot babes so i thought we could have dinner together" the two ladies looked at the shark man. Both looked shocked wondering if he was serious then they each glared at the other woman "i guess i could stay but only if shes staying" toni crossed her arms and carmen scoffed "whatever" she brushed past slicer and pushed past toni to go to the livingroom where three glasses already sat "you are one sick shark you know that right?" Carmen said pouring herself a glass then sitting down on the couch crossing her arms, toni rolled her eyes walking into the living room taking a glass and pouring champagne into it sitting on the other end of the couch crossing her legs neither woman looking at each other "so slicer, what do you have planned for tonight?" toni asked as he poured himself a glass of the bubbly and took a seat in between the two beauties. Slicer sat back comfortably on the couch "i didnt plan anything just thought we could have dinner" he smirked looking at both of them before putting his glass down and pulling them closer to him rubbing their hips "but if you have something in mind i would gladly go along with it" he chuckled as the two woman growled then glared at each other, carmen pushed his hand away "look shark boy, i barely agreed to spend my night with you and i dont even want to acknowledge that spoiled bratty broad over there" toni gasped "how dare you! im spoiled, says the daddys girl!" The two woman started to argue and slicer rolled his eyes so done with their arguing but he did have an idea thouvh he wasnt sure how they would react he didnt care "both of you babes are beautiful and i like both" he said before kissing the two of them passionately. Carmen pushed him back onto the couch "you giant piece of sushi!" She yelled and toni stopped her as she was about the punch him "wait carmen! I have an idea, why dont we share him?" She suggested and carmen looked at her like she was crazy "share? When have you ever shared anything you puffed up pink palace princess" she rolled her eyes amd crossed her arms turning away from both of them, slicer thought about it for a moment and he liked the idea of having two sexy sassy ladies on his arms "yes, i like that idea we'll share" he held both of them close "right carmen?" She looked up at him then back to toni who was smiled offering her hand "ill play nice if you will" she said carmen sighed swatting away tonis hand "fine, but if either of you crosses me ill break you legs" carmen threatened leaning back against slicer as toni laid her head on his chest "arent i a lucky shark? Heh ive got two hot babes" he said grabbing their asses "Dont push your luck shark boy" carmen wiggled a little in his arms.

A Happy Man (Part 2)
A/N: Hello beauties! This is the sequel to my first ever angst piece “You’ll Be Okay” and I really love it! It’s loosely based off the song Die A Happy Man by Thomas Rhett! As always, if you enjoyed/have questions/comments/suggestions/all of the above, please let me know! I love hearing from y'all so much and I love you all to bits!
Word Count: 3.1k
Masterlist            Part 1
Tumblr media
“Have a nice Saturday love.”
Your phone buzzed on the end table next to your spot on the couch, indicating another incoming message from Harry. And just like every other day, you left the message unanswered. For the past 4 days, like clockwork, he had sent you a text at exactly 8:15am, wishing you a good day, and another at 9:30pm reminding you that he loves you. After walking out of yours and Harry’s hotel’s room 4 days ago, you had immediately flown home and showed up a sobbing mess at your parent’s doorstep. Upon the door opening, you found your father raising a baseball bat and your mother hidden on the staircase, in fear of an intruder – as it was the early hours of the morning – a sight you would laugh at if it were any other circumstance. Once your parents realized it was just you, and that you were a wreck, they quickly ushered you inside and to the couch, so you could explain what was wrong. That was days ago, and here you were, still seated in the same spot, staring off into space while your parents watched from the entryway.
“She’s going to start growing into the couch if she doesn’t move Y/M/N.” your dad whispered, or at least whispered as much as a dad was capable.
There was a small thud, and you knew your mom had gently smacked your father’s chest, “He meant a lot to her. She just needs some time.”
“And she can hear you both.” You turned your head to look at the two of them huddled together. “I appreciate you letting me crash here, but you don’t have to dote over me. I’m a big girl. Go to the Christmas Tree Shop or whatever it is you retired folk do.” You tried to crack a smile, but you knew it looked more like grimace.
“Oh hunny, you don’t have to thank us. You’re our baby, of course you are always welcome here.” Your mom cooed as she scuttled across the room to sit next to you and run her fingers through your hair, “Everything’s going to work itself out. I promise.”
“My offer still stands monkey. You let me know where he is, and I’ll go have a nice little chat with Harold.” Your dad smiled, still standing at the entryway.
“No dad. The last thing I want is for you to talk to him right now. It would only make things worse. I mean, I didn’t break up with him. I just told him I needed time. So that’s what I’m doing. Taking some time.” You took a deep breath, talking more to yourself than to your parents now, “Not broken up.”
~~~
“She broke up with me, mum.” Harry’s groan was muffled by the thick white duvet as he laid face down on his hotel bed, still in yesterday’s clothes. “I’ve tried to talk to her every day, and there’s no reply.” Similarly to Y/N, Harry had spent the last 4 days in the same position; wallowing in self-pity and crying to his mother.
“She didn’t my dear. You told me what she said, and she just needs some time.” Anne was seated next to her son, running her hands through his short curls, “You have to understand where she’s coming from. The two of you have been strong for two years, this is just a small bump. Everyone goes through them.”
“Not us, mum. We don’t do this. We never fight, and we never walk away from each other. We’re best friends. Or, we were at least.”
“The two of you are two peas in a pod, don’t doubt that Harry. You have a very busy life, and I mean this with every ounce of love I have for you,” Harry turned his head to peak out from under the blanket to look at Anne, “but you do tend to put quite a lot on your plate. And you never were one for clearing your plate. You’ve been so focused on finding things to keep you busy during this time off, that you’ve put some things to the back burner. Some important things.”
It was like Harry was transported back in time, listening to the bustling streets below while everyone carried on with their lives. Like he wasn’t losing his mind 14 floors above their heads. He knew his mum was right. He always wanted to have a plan a, and a plan b, and plan c, but there was never a risk for that lifestyle before. Never the chance for his precisely planned life to cause such an uproar. But here he was, a weeping, snotty, mess because he planned for everything except his love leaving him.
“Let me ask you, Harry. All of the money, the designer clothes, the followers, notoriety, is it all what’s most important to you? Would you be the happiest with only that?”
His head was shaking before Anne could even finish her questions. There was no doubt in his mind that everything he has, everything his unprecedented luck has been able to provide him, meant nothing if he had no one to share it with. No one to come home to laugh about cute fan encounters with. Nothing without anyone to call up when the silence of empty hotel rooms becomes too much.  “Absolutely not.”
“Then in your heart, you know what to do.” She nodded and patted Harry’s back before getting up and disappearing through the front door.
~~~
“Alright, look munchkin. I love you, you know that. But the ass that’s supposed to be making a dent in the couch is mine. I didn’t retire for you to beat me to it.” Your dad plopped down on the couch next to you. “You have a bed upstairs for that.”
“Can’t dad. ‘ve got pictures of him up there. Don’t wanna look at them right now.” You paused, hearing your mother on the phone, for the 4thtime today, “Who she keep talking to?”
You heard him huff next to you, “Who knows. She’s always got something new to gossip about these days. This week, it’s been about Martha leaving the office to go to the company upstairs.”
You were thankful for your dad. While your mother was always the one to sit you down and talk some sense into you when something was going awry, your dad was the comedic relief you needed. He always knew how to take your mind off of the seriousness of life. Which Is exactly what you needed right now.
“I wasn’t going to say anything, ya know, because of the reason you’re here and all, but you smell kid. I don’t know how it works across the pond, but over here we have these things called showers. It’s real neat, you go in and wash you-“
“Oh my god, shut up dad. We have showers for fucks sake.” You laughed, leaning over to rest your head on his shoulder. The two of you sat in silence for a moment, the soft murmur of Netflix and your soft breathing filled the air.
“Everything’s going to work out darling. Everyone goes through a rough patch, and it was about time the two of you had yours.” He stopped for a moment, “You know, your mother and I separated for a couple of months.”
Your head shot up at that and looked wide eyed at your father. For your entire life, you idolized your parent’s relationship and wished for nothing more than to achieve what they have. You never would have imagined that they went through any sort of issues. “No you didn’t! When?”
“You were about a year old. I was working double shifts every week while she stayed home with you. She wanted to be able to be there for you every day, watch you grow, and I would have loved nothing more, but someone had to pay for all the diapers you shit in.” you both chuckled, “Me not being home was too much for her and she told me she needed time. Sound familiar?”
“How’d you get past it?”
“I had been staying with your uncle for a couple months, and then woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and told myself I was an idiot for walking away so easily. So, I went back to the house, sat her down, told her how much I loved her and that I was working so hard so that the two of you could have the best lives possible. That’s all I want – the two of you to be happy and not worry about anything.”
The tears were starting to form in your eyes, thinking about how similar your situation is to what your parents went through. Not wanting to sit and cry in front of your dad, again, you patted his knee and stood up.
“About time I go shower, yeah? Wash this stink off.” you smiled and made your way to the staircase, leading to the second floor of your childhood home.
“I love you kiddo.” Your dad called after you, making some warmth spread through your relatively cold body.
In any other situation, you would be disgusted with yourself that this was your first shower in 4 days. But showering was the last thing on your mind recently. As you stood under the searing water, you thought over everything your father had said. Everything he spoke about, you knew is how Harry felt. He told you every chance he got that he loved providing for you, loved being able to make you smile. And it didn’t take much. You got so much joy just by watching in achieve the things he dreamed of and standing behind the scenes to see just how much the love of your life has achieved. But that wasn’t what caused your departure. You had watched Harry make room in his busy life for countless people, so why couldn’t he do that for someone he loved? You thought back to your trip to Italy and hung your head. In his own way, you realized, he did.  After canceling your museum tour, he had the two of your sit in bed all night and watch a Italian historical documentary. Brought you to the private hotel pool with a bottle of wine after not being able to go to the beach and left you a note the morning of your cancelled breakfast date. You realized these were all ways he showed you he cared and wasn’t trying to put work ahead of you. And here you were, standing in your parent’s shower, ignoring all his loving messages every day, just so you could justify your leaving. Quickly shutting off the water, you grabbed a towel and made a beeline to your old room, needing to get dressed and find your phone. You had apologizing to do.
You ran down the stairs, after throwing on some old black sweats and a white t-shirt, your hair still dripping from the shower and leaving a trail of water in your path. Getting to the space you were occupying on the couch, you noticed that your phone was no longer on the charger, “Mom! Where did you move my phone?”
No response.
“Seriously mom! I need to use my phone.”
Again, not response, just the sound of glasses clinking in the kitchen.
“I can hear you in the kitchen. If you’re ignoring me because you’re on the phone with someone from the office, talking about Martha again, I swear I’m gon-“ you choked on your sentence upon entering the kitchen, where you expected to find your mother.
The two of you stared at each other like deer caught in headlights, not knowing what to do or say. A wine glass was gently set down, and the room was so silent that you could hear the silent ringing it made when making contact with the marble countertop. You could feel your breathing start to pick up when he licked his lips and whisper a soft “Hi.”
“He – wha – what are you – how did?”
“I called your mom earlier. Told her I wanted to come. See you.”
You nodded, biting the inside of your lip, not knowing how to get past the awkward tension in the air. You had never experienced this with Harry, this foggy unknown feeling. And you hated it.
“Why.”
“Why what?” lines formed on his forehead
“Why – why would you want to see me?
He continued to just stare at you, like you just asked him the meaning of life, with his mouth agape and hands on now resting on top of the counter. “Because I love you. And I’m not letting this be over. I’m not.” He shrugged, “I know you sai-“
“I’m sorry.” You exclaimed, interrupting whatever he was about to say, “I’m sorry for assuming you cared more about work. I’m sorry for blaming you for cancelling things. I’m sorry for leaving. I’m sorry, so sorry.”
Before you knew what was happening, he had raced around the kitchen island and scooped you into his arms before your knees could buckled beneath you. Muffled gasps were coming from between your lips as Harry ran his hands over the back of your head.
“Shhh, hey none of that. It’s alright. You’re okay. I’m here.”
The two of you stayed locked in one another’s arms for what seemed like hours, making up for missing the feel of each other. Missing the way you could feel Harry’s heartbeat on your temple when hugging him. Him missing the feeling of your hands wound around his torso, toying with his back-belt loops. The two of you missing the comforting smell of the other. Slowly, once your crying subsided, Harry backed away slightly so that he could look at you.
“I think we have some stuff to talk about, yeah?” you nodded simultaneously and moved to sit down, facing each other, on the kitchen island stools. He gently picked up both your hands in his own, “Before you say anything, I need you to know I love you. I am so fucking in love with you that it makes my head spin. And when you walked out of that hotel room, I felt like I was drowning.” You moved to apologize again, but he quickly cut you off, “I don’t want to hear another apology out of you. Don’t ever apologize for your feelings. The hurt you’re feeling is yours to feel however you see fit.”
“I just, I don’t want you to think I’m asking you to choose, H. I would never. I know how much your career means to you, it means everything to me too. Watching you succeed and do what you love means the world to me.” You sniffled, trying make sure he understood that you support him in everything he does.
“But I would. I would choose. Because as much as I love the traveling and picking up new projects, and always being busy, I love you more. I love you more than all the sushi I could stomach in Japan. More than the packages Gucci sends me with new clothes. More than there are stars in the sky. So, I’mthe sorry one. I’m so sorry I ever made you doubt that, m‘love.” His eyes started to glaze over, accent getting thicker, as the threat of tears grew closer and closer.
“My career has given me more than I could ever ask for. This life I live gives me opportunities I never in a million years could have wished for. But absolutely none of it means anything if you’re not there to share it with me.” The smile that graced Harry’s face was brighter than anything you’ve ever seen on him. His dimples were prominent on his hair covered jaw, small crow’s feet loitered around the corners of his eyes, and his hands tightened in yours.
“But you should be able to do those things without worrying about me. About making sure I’m alright. You’re so young and so successful Harry! You shouldn’t have to worry about how I’m feeling 24/7. You should be able to do what you want, when you want it.  To be your own person.” You argued, knowing that this argument was slowly fleeting, as your love for the man in front of you was overpowering any doubts you had.
“I know who I am, doll. But I also know that I’m better with you. I’m better when I wake up to see your hair sprawled all over the bed. Better when I see you in that black dress that makes it hard for me to breathe. Better when you’re around. So, if I never get to see the Eiffel Tower again, or drive a new sports car, that’s okay.”  he shrugged, seeing your inner turmoil in your eyes, “Because if the only thing that I have in life is your hand in mine, then I could die a happy man.”
You took your hand out of his hold to brush away the tears that had made their way down your puffy cheeks. Guilt flooded through your veins for ever thinking that Harry loved you any less than how he described. So, you leaned forward to place a kiss to his lips, needing him to know you loved him just the same.
“I quite like the Eiffel tower.” You whispered once your lips disconnected from his, and a small chuckle left his lips,
“I know petal. I just want you to know that I don’t need a fancy destination because you’re my great escape. My sense of normalcy in this crazy life. You’re the one I want to repaint the living room while listening to Sinatra radio and dance around the fireplace with.”
You knew when starting this relationship that things would get difficult, what with being in the public eye and all the moving around. But you also knew that it was all worth it. It was worth it when you got to see Harry after walking off stage, after his morning jog, with his tongue sticking out between his lips while jotting things down in his journal. All the scrutiny was worth it when you got to slow dance in the kitchen or lounge all day with Evie. And no amount of rescheduling or cancellations would change that.
“Did you really just try to flex your Gucci deliveries to me?”

a/n: sorry if this hurts aaaand i brought the gif back JAHAHH
Tumblr media
summary: when the world of a small town rockstar and global sensation meet, will they fall in love? or will the universe only fight for those meant to be?
read part one here
It had been a couple of days since the confrontation, or confession as most people would like to put it, and Haley’s been avoiding Shawn at every opportunity. She dodged him in the hallways, before and after shows and skipped nights spent in his bus for more time spent alone in her quiet bus. Shawn was dying to grab a hold of her, but she was really easy to miss in her 5’4 size. He wanted to tell her how he felt, how sorry he was for being so impulsive and it was killing him every second he kept those words in. So he decided that tonight was it. They were performing at the Forum in LA tonight, and Shawn was determined to speak to her to clear the air between them.
“Hey Andrew, do you know if Haley’s schedule is packed before the show?”
“Um I think she has one interview before, but her schedule is cleared after. What’s up man?” Andrew replied. Shawn gave him a nod of his head and sped down the hallway to her dressing room. He knocked lightly, taking a deep breath before opening the door. Shawn expected her to run away, scream, shout or do whatever she has been doing the past couple of weeks to shake him off her tail, but instead he was met with her laying on the couch, eyes glued to her laptop and totally unaware of his presence. He didn’t want to admit to it but she looked beautiful; her hair down to her shoulders, and she was dressed in a simple t-shirt with shorts - her go to outfit for stage which made fans fall in love with her even more. Her simple style yet complex mind intrigued many, and that’s how she won the heart of the people, not to mention shawn’s heart too. Seeing that he hadn’t grabbed her attention, Shawn let out a small cough which sent her shooting straight up to her feet.
“Didn’t mean to scare you there, sorry” Shawn laughed, watching as she sat her laptop down on the table.
“Oh uh, yea hey Shawn” Haley stammered slightly, nervous at the thought of even speaking to the boy who she was hopelessly in love with.
“Can we talk?” shawn asked, tilting his head to the side to meet her eyes. Haley looked up to him, for a moment, “um, later? I don’t want to think about too much before the show” she sent him a small smile and Shawn nodded slowly.
“Okay, meet me in my dressing room and we can hang after the show?” Haley nodded hesitantly before Shawn left, and she let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. This was going to be a long night.
-
“That crowd was so amazing!” Haley shouted over the music as Shawn got off stage. She stood backstage peeking with the rest of her band and the venue was buzzing tonight. Fans were signing along to every word so loudly that it was hard to even hear the music. As she was about to take her leave, her manager, Emma, came over to speak to her.
“You’ve got a guest waiting for you in your dressing room” Haley raised her brows as she followed Emma to the dressing room. She wondered who it could be. did she invite anyone to the show tonight and forgot about it? Or was it Shawn pulling some kind of stunt on her? Her curiosity was satisfied when she opened the door to reveal a tall, tan figure dressed in a classic navy blue suit. She knew instantly who it was.
“AUSTIN MICHAELS! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!” She screamed as he held her in his arms.
“Well, you gave me tickets to this show and I could use a pick me up by my best friend on a Friday night” he replied her, hands squeezing her shoulders as he spoke. He looked intently into his eyes before breaking contact.
“You could’ve told me you were here, we could’ve hung out and all!”
“I’m here now aren’t I?” He hugged her once again, the familiar warmth filling both of their bodies.
“Hales I thought you were going to- woah sorry I didn’t mean to interrupt” Shawn stumbled back a little from the scene.
“Hey no its okay Shawn, this is my best friend Austin. Austin Shawn, Shawn Austin” Haley introduced them to one another and they exchanged greetings, a slight tension filling the air when Shawn’s eyes landed on Austin’s hand placed right at the small of her back.
“I’ll um- leave you two to catch up. Text me later?” Shawn asked as he made his leave. Haley only nodded, being too pre occupied with her friend. The pair talked like old times, laughing over the stupidest things.
“Wait wait before we go on, where’s Amanda? Did you not take her with you?” Haley asked, and Austin looked down to the ground. He took in a deep breath, rubbing his palms together.
“I-i broke up with her weeks ago” was all he managed as his voice shook.
“I’m so sorry, Aus” she placed her hand on his, rubbing small circles on the back of his hand. Austin gave her a weak smile, shaking his head.
“It wasn’t meant to be anyway, should’ve known when you told me” Haley frowned when he said this. She knew it from the start that they weren’t going to make it. That the materialistic, whiny bitch was about to give her best friend hell but she didn’t get why he was mentioning it now. Two years since that day, probably one of the worst days of their lives.
“i’m telling you she’s no good for you Austin! why won’t you listen to me?” Haley shouted, watching as Austin paced the room.
“because i love her, and nothing anyone says is going to change it! what makes you so worked up about it anyway? i’m your best friend, you should be happy!” he gritted his teeth, staring straight at the girl he called his best friend.
“maybe because i’m in love with you and i see that she’s not right for you!” Haley regretted it almost immediately, shaking her head as she sunk down into the couch. He was shocked, shocked that his best friend of 12 years was in love with him. but it didn’t matter now, now he had Amanda and that was the only thing he planned to focus on.
“i’m sorry, i’m sorry i hurt you. but i love her, only her”
Silence filled the room as they sat, the only thing that was heard was the soft ticking from the wall clock.
“Ibrokeupwithherbecauseiloveyou”
“What did you say?” Haley asked when Austin mumbled out from under his breath, the string of words he had been holding back. Truth is, haley heard it all, every single word was as clear as day to her. But what she couldn’t believe was why and how. She couldn’t bring herself to believe that her childhood best friend, her very first crush that rejected her was now coming back to her after he broke up with his supposed ‘love of his life’. It all seemed like a very twisted fairy tale.
“I’m in love with you” it was nothing more than a whisper this time, but she heard it again, and it made her stand up from her seat. It made her anxious, that not only was her previous crush in love with her, she had Shawn Mendes down the hallway potentially wanting to be “more than friends”.
“I-i.. I- what?” that was all she could formulate in that moment. Austin was now on his feet too, inching towards her to grab her hand. Haley moved back quickly, her hips colliding with the dresser.
“No no don’t tell me or touch me. What the hell made you say that? 2 years after I told you, finally moving on and accepting your bitchass girlfriend. You come up and tell me you broke up with her because you love me?! Who do you think I am? I’m not your rebound, Aus, if you didn’t know im also human!” she was now full on yelling, and Shawn could hear her from the hallway as he spoke to the guitar techs. He made his way closer to the door, trying to get a hold of the conversation.
“I love you, Haley! I only ever loved you! What I had with Amanda was nothing, it didn’t mean anything at all, I only love you and I was stupid to let you go. I might have kept a friend, a best friend, but in that moment i lost the love of my life. I want her back.” He had tears streaming down his face now, desperation oozing out from his heart. Austin came here to get his girl back, but right now it seems like he was losing her all at once.
“I-i,ve got to leave” she swung open the door to reveal Shawn right in front of it, leaning against the wall behind him. Tears brimmed in her eyes as she gave Shawn a cold hard stare, storming off to one of the empty rooms in the arena. He followed silently behind as they entered a smaller room use to hold their instruments. Haley was sat in a corner, breathing hard as she tried to suppress her cries and Shawn stood in the other corner, having no idea what to do with this situation. He knew that she obviously had feelings for him, and he most probably had nothing to worry about but after what he heard between her and Austin, Shawn wasn’t too sure of it anymore.
After what seemed like hours, Haley finally spoke up, “I’m sorry, I can’t do whatever talk you want to have with me right now, Shawn. I’m sorry” he shook his head, hands folded in front of him as he watched her. Shawn wanted so bad to touch her, hug her and tell her that it was alright, yet in the heat of the moment, he could only think of himself. He ignored her words, only to blurt out the world’s worst timed question,
“What about me?”
Haley squinted her eyes at him, and she couldn’t believe what he had just said. Shawn repeated himself once more, causing Haley to scoff,
“You know this world doesn’t revolve around you right?”
“Well, neither does it revolve around you.” Shawn said flatly, and Haley let out a laugh, she couldn’t believe her ears.
“All you care about in this moment is yourself, and how you’re going to fuck me every single night? I thought better of you, Shawn.” Anger was boiling inside of Haley, and she hated this Shawn. He was being completely unreasonable and self-centred in the moment, that she couldnt even recognise him.
“I just want to know if I’m even worth something to you, if we’re worth the fight” his voice was almost inaudible but haley managed to catch his words in time. She shook her head, tears starting to choke her,
“If I meant more than one of your fuck girls, you wouldn’t need to question if we’re worth a fight.”

Rain
Pairing- min yoongi & reader
genre-fluff (in my opinion)
a/n- this is an excerpt of a fanfic im currently working on. i posted this to showcase my writing in hopes people would be interested in seeing the whole story in the future.
also, still working on the title
...I didnt know why i was so nervous, we were just friends after all. at least thats what i try to convince myself of, but in the back of my mind i knew the truth. im not sure how it happened-well, thats not true either-, i knew exactly when my feelings shifted from a place of pure lust...to something...a bit more. 
it was some time last year. i was on my way out of the office and i noticed through the glass doors that it was raining outside. i knew it was on the forecast and i did have an umbrella, but i forgot it back in my studio. as i turned to retrieve my forgotten umbrella, i noticed something else- some one else- HER. She was leaning against the wall looking up at the sky, occasionally taking sips from the coffee she was holding, and...she was completely drenched. I walked over to the door not believing what i was seeing. why was she just standing there? i called out to her twice (barely poking my head out through the door) before she stirred from whatever deep thought she was in.
 “what are you doing?”
“oh sorry sir! Did you need something?”. at that time she had only been working with us for a few months and i was the only one she still called “sir” or “Mr.” mostly because i never gave her the ok to refer to me otherwise..call it a kink i guess. At that time she had been assigned to be a sort of personal assistant to me, and her being the professional she was, was concerned i might have been roaming around the building looking for her.
“No you idiot! What are you doing out here?”. she was younger than me by a year and i had gotten used to talking to her the way i talk to the rest of my dongsaengs and, also like the rest of my dongsaengs, she got on my nerves sometimes.
“um..just..enjoying the rain...” her eyes darted around her for a second before looking back at me.  As if it was so obvious and i was the stupid one for asking. i rolled my eyes and with a frustrated sigh i jogged over to her. she was a bit a ways from the entrance of the building so as i approached she she had a chance to return to her previous activity: leaning against the wall and contemplate the sky. i leaned on my shoulder against the wall next to her. i had my hands stuffed in my pockets and i coward and winced with each drop of water that hit me. 
“what i meant was: WHY are you out here? Normal people usually “enjoy” the rain without actually being in it”. she smiled and answered without looking at me,
“you dont like the rain?”
“i dont like getting wet” i answered very matter of fact, “i dont mind the rain itself..its just water after all. but no, i dont enjoy being cold and wet like you seem to”. she didnt answer right away, so i followed her gaze. it was raining pretty intensely, it was like someone had turned on the shower head over the city of Seoul. but the sky she was so interested in was typical of a rainy day: thick grey clouds and nothing else. when she spoke again i jumped a little.
“The rain gets a bad rap sometimes doesnt it?” it wasnt really a question for me so i stayed silent and let her continue. “it floods, seeps into buildings, and when the right things come together perfectly...you get a storm...leaving destruction and chaos...destruction.” I remember she spoke low and slow, that was the longest she had ever spoken to me, and she had my full attention as i stared down at her. “and during those times, we forget that it also brings life. its because the destruction is in your face..you can see evidence of it immediately. but todays rain might be growing next months grass, trees, or flowers. maybe a puddle today helps relive the thirst of a few stray animals. maybe it fills drought threatened lakes and rivers. we need the rain.” Then and now, what she said reminded me of that one saying that goes something like: people only notice your mistakes. i reflect on that from time to time..
“ that still doesnt answer why youre willingly getting caught in the rain.” she smiled and ticked her eyes at me.
“i like it” she shrugged “people sun bathe all the time...just to feel the rays of the sun..i want to FEEL the rain.” 
“its wet.. what else is there?” i was in fact interested. i had spent the last few months trying to figure her out and it was my first opportunity to find out what goes on in her mind..
“its not just the physical feeling..” she was annoyed then her usual tone with me..
“youve heard the saying ‘the calm before the storm’ its a real thing. the clouds start rolling in..they start thick and plush..and i dont really know how to describe it...its like world goes quiet. even when youre driving in it things seem more relaxed and quiet. and the smell..much better than the pollution and dust and whatever else we breath in all day long. but my favorite part is when it actually starts raining..” her words trailed off for moment “whats that thing called in music that helps keep the tempo?” i wasnt sure if she was really asking me or just talking to herself at that point. at that moment i wasnt sure if she even knew i was still there, but i answered anyway.
“metronome” she smiled at me
“metronome...thats what the rain sounds like. Did you know its sometimes used to hypnotize people- the metronome i mean- its supposed to help you concentrate on a particular rhythm and put you in like a sort of trance i guess. rain is like that.each drop of rain that falls against the concrete, or your window, or peoples umbrellas is like natures metronome putting you in a trance and clearing your mind of all the constant inner chatter.” her eyes had started to fade, growing distant, the way people do when they were thinking. in her case she was reliving a memory..
“there’s a powerful thing about sound and smells too that can bring up things in your mind you thought were left forgotten. like every time it rains and im in that “trance stage” i cant help but relive stuff from when i was young and-”
“you’re still young” i cut her off; she was only 23. she gave me a look
“when i was youngER” she corrected, “i guess what i mean is that feeling of being free. like when you're a child and you run around jumping in the puddles. getting muddy and dirty even though you knew your mom would get mad. you didn’t care because you were young and having fun.” she began to chuckle “and really anything can happen in the rain..and again sure, tragedy, like a car crash or whatever. but also a lot of wonderful moments...i mean thats why they put romantic rain scenes in movies right?” her eyes flashed me a glance..i swallowed. “and those scenes with teenagers sneaking out and getting into trouble and making bad decisions- actually there was this one time a few of us snuck into this apartment complex to hang out by the pool. it was a summer night and we were off school and we had a bunch of beer- one of my friends had a fake ID- and we just needed a place to drink where we wouldnt get caught and a friend suggested these old apartment complex he used to live in since he knew security was..well not good. anyway as the night went on, that ‘about to rain’ smell started to grown and all of a sudden it was pouring.” she smiled as her eyes started to grow distant, lost in the memory. “we all laughed and then one by one we started to jump into the pool fully clothed” she started to laugh again as was coming out of that memory. ”i think that was one of the best times i had with that group of friends. its like the rain had washed away all the..front..you know what i mean? like they each had their persona. what they want you to think they are like. always trying to pretend like they were something else. but when that rain came it washed away all the bullshit..sorry..” she flashed a worried glance at me and i waved it off. “anyway its like they were finally able to be themselves and just have fun instead of trying to act cool all the time. and the rest of the night we just had a ton of laughs and good conversation.”  she paused for a moment and i waited patiently as i myself was taking in everything she had said. “i guess all i mean is, to me, rain is more than just water from the sky. its not just weather. its life. its beauty and growth and smiles and laughter. some bad times, some good times..and some good con..versations..” she had turned to look at me as she pronounced that last word, letting her voice fall to nearly a whisper. She looked..surprised...and she had stiffened. She looked guarded as she held her coffee tight with both hands. At first i couldnt figure out what had caused her sudden change in attitude. Then her eyes flicked between my eyes and...i wasnt sure what..something lower on my face? my lips? why was she looking at my lips?
That’s when she let out a staggered breath and the smell of her coffee hit me. i was suddenly aware of how close to her face i was. I’m not sure when, but at some point, i had begun to lean into her as she had me mesmerized. i swallowed hard, blinked a few times, and straightened myself out turning away from her awkwardly- but not before i caught a glimpse of her blushing, looking down at her coffee smiling.  I couldn’t bring myself to do much else other than stand there fidgeting with my earring. After what seemed like the longest 2 seconds of my life passed, it was her who broke the silence.
“um..anyway, what are you doing out here sir?”. I turned to look at her, then down at myself, and i sighed as i let my head and shoulders drop. i hadn’t noticed until now, but i was as soaked as she was. i had a thin, black, long sleeve shirt that was clinging on to my skin and my jeans felt heavy with all the water they had soaked up. i went to rub my hair, my fringe was stuck to my forehead, it felt like i just got out the shower. i laughed a bit bitterly at myself. “what, what is it?” she asked. i looked at her and grinned.
“i was actually on my way out and saw it was raining...i was going to go back and get my umbrella but...” i let my sentence end there and just shrugged. 
“oh...oohh..”As she started to realize it was her fault i didn’t need the umbrella anymore, we both started to laugh. “I’m sorry sir i didn’t mean to keep you..ugh now look at you” i waived off her worry and just shrugged again.
“it’s only a little rain. come on, I’ll walk you home.” she smiled and nodded.
I dont remember what all was said on that short walk to her place, what i do remember though was how i felt. before that moment, all i wanted to know about her was how she would feel when i touched her, what her lips would feel like against mine, i wanted to explore all her body had to offer. But suddenly things were different now. As we walked along-and in between catching the other starring- i started to think differently. i wanted to know more about her. i wanted to explore her MIND. This person who i always called dumb or an idiot actually had me wanting to know more. What did she think about music? would we like the same songs? Does she like MY music? And the fact that her opinion of me mattered was different in itself. I wanted to know her opinion of a lot of stuff. i wanted to know what made her mind tick. what makes her mad? what makes her sad? whats her favorite food? can i take her to eat it? what makes her happy? i hoped it could be me..

barista!jeonghan (click for HD)
yoon jeonghan is part of the city barista squad
and the laziest one
he requested to work on making the coffees and less interacting to customers
bc he does not have enough energy to ask the same thing over and over lol
it’s fine with their manager bc his co-worker is luckily hoshi
so hoshi does the talking while jeonghan does the drinks
their shifts start right after seungkwan’s and seungcheol’s
jeonghan makes the best coffee out of the four workers in the city
seungcheol is the worst
and people love his coffee so they often ask if jeonghan is around
he often takes nap on the storage room when there are no customers 
which is also the reason why he smells like coffee all the freaking time
besides the fact he makes them, he also sleeps with the packages of coffee beans hahaha
since jeonghan is a multi-talented barista, his latte arts are very known in the city
people would tag him on social media for making such a beautiful latte art
seungcheol is so envious of him 
ofc, his rosette latte art is the best and the most wanted design
sometimes. he’d try to make cute animals
or a trail of mini hearts
jeonghan is pretty famous too
like junhui
one time, he encountered the same situation when the girls didnt know what to order bc they dont drink coffee 
anyways,, jeonghan loves his job
but he also loves it when his shift ends bc he goes straight to the nearest park
he will have a cup of creamy coffee in his hands while he sits on the bench and inhales some natural breeze
this is his routine
going back to the shop, jeonghan is pretty close to some customers too
tho not as much as soonyoung does
but he’s close to a few,,
and this few includes you
in fact, you are the closest to jeonghan
jeonghan enjoys your company all the time
he’d even forget about his nap hours for you :’’)
you met jeonghan through dk
bc you’re into latte arts, dk recommended jeonghan’s coffee place bc the campus cafe does not necessarily make such thing
so you met jeonghan four months ago
and tbh
you hesitated if he is the jeonghan bc damn, he’s a t t r a c t i v e
the first time you met him, the shop was really packed with ppl, and the baristas where working really fast behind the counter
you somehow stopped yourself from ordering a latte art bc they seemed really busy that time
but you stayed there for a while, waiting for the customers to lessen in a bit, until there were only a few of them when you made your way to the counter and a cute guy with small eyes smiled at you widely
you looked at his named tag, and it said ‘soonyoung’
then you looked at the other barista whose back was facing you
and you couldnt help but stare at his broad shoulders
and his lean torso
and his silky light brown hair
until ‘soonyoung’ cleared his throat and you snapped back to reality
“hyung, i think she’s one of your fans”
slafksa your eyes widen and shook your head too immediately, and you were like nononononono 
ofc, jeonghan turned around to look who this person soonyoung was pertaining about and he found you, and saw your flustered face
it was so embarrassing
and that time, you wanted to punch this soonyoung in the face for jumping to conclusions easily
luckily, jeonghan didnt ride soonyoung’s trip
“no, i think she’s dokyeom’s friend”
and you were nodding your head too quickly for agreeing on him
the sight looked so cute in jeonghan’s eyes so this brought a huge smile on his face
poor soonyoung who was so clueless
“dk told me you were coming today, i was just doing a latte for you” he said, walking closer to the counter 
as he stopped by it, he leaned down to match your height and rested both of forearm on top
who is this handsome guy and why does he smell like coffee
your head jerked away from the closeness of his figure to you,,,,,and it was so awkward so you put out a hand and introduced yourself
“im y/n”
“i know. im jeonghan”
“i know”
so jeonghan’s first latte art for you was the usual rosette 
tho it was the most common design, you still thought how talented jeonghan is
and how thoughtful he was for doing your coffee in advance
thanks to dk
the first time you met him, he actually sat in front of you as you took one of the tables,,,,basically, jeonghan ditched his job just to have your company, and his shift was ending anyways
so you continue to meet jeonghan in the next months, but not daily, since you often get your regular coffee from the campus cafe
you visit him twice or thrice a week and he’d give you a pre-made latte art :’)
how sweet
as you continue to know more about jeonghan,, one day, you found him sitting on a bench at the university park
his eyes were closed and his arms were crossed on his chest, a cup of coffee was resting beside him,, and he was also wearing a white button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up which looked so attractive on him skhfasljs
you thought that he wouldnt mind your company so you quietly sat beside him, and jeonghan wasnt bothered at all
“hi y/n”
this made you jump from your seat bc,, did he see you?? with his closed eyes??
but you tried to play it cool, “how did you know it was me?”
“no one really approaches me except for you” he chuckled, and finally opened his eyes to look straightly at you
and you swore, a bucket of butterflies was poured in your stomach
knowing jeonghan, his shift in the coffee shop was done at that time,,,but that was the only time you found out that he likes chilling on the park
and you were taken a back bc,, you never saw him there, considering that you are always at the park too
this brought the two of you to another stage of friendship,,,when you visit jeonghan, you’d wait for his shift to finish so both of you could chill on the park and talk about stuff
if the weather’s not good, he wouldnt ask for you to stay in the cafe but you’d end up still staying bc you enjoy his presence too much
there are times when jeonghan has to work overtime,
and if there are no customers, he’d bring you to the storage room and continue to hang out with you
soonyoung gets very suspicious,,, bc he thinks you and jeonghan do something pg there
but truthfully, you were just lazily talking together
the others found out about your relationship friendship with jeonghan
and seungcheol was so sure the boy is in love with you bc he forgets his nap hours just to hang out
and he thought you are going to be jeonghan’s distraction and jeonghan would not be able to make good coffees anymore
there was a moment when you somehow realized that you already have feelings for him too,,,and you were kind of scared bc your friendship with him has grown so much and you didnt want to ruin it bc of your feelings
let’s not forget about jeonghan’s fans, right???
so one day, you were chilling with him again, when a group of girls came inside the shop
with soonyoung greeting them enthusiastically, they saw you and jeonghan being all giddy and happy while talking to each other
you were not sure if jeonghan saw it but you caught this girl giving you a glare
and she whispered smth to her friends and they gave you a glare too
fite me
tbh, you didnt like ppl giving you that kind of treatment, and jeonghan seemed to notice that you became quite uncomfortable, asking if you were okay
when soonyoung finally took their order, jeonghan excused himself to make the drinks
you might or might not had been watching his figure as he make the coffees
when he came back to hand the drinks to the girls, one of them had the aUDACITY TO WALK ON YOUR DIRECTION AND ‘ACCIDENTALLY’ SPILL THE VERY HOT DRINK ON YOU
SNDJSNLKS IT WAS SO HOT
you yelped in pain, jeonghan was shocked and panicked, the girl pretended that she was sorry, and her friends were quietly enjoying the scene
jeonghan ran from behind the counter to go to you
“can you be more careful next time?” you asked bitterly
and boy oh boy, the girl was like “maybe if you weren’t blocking the way and flirting with him then this wouldnt happen to you”
jeonghan for sure was so mad from what she said,, and you were not having it
“maybe if you were actually really nice then jeonghan would have flirted with you, but you’re not.”
YOU GO GURL
jeonghan bit his proud smile from what you said, but he was still kind of mad from what the girl did to you
“pls be careful next time and try not to hurt any customer” he said, a hint of annoyance was evident in his voice
then he turned to you and whispered “come with me”
you followed him to the storage room, and the girls were left in surprise,, while soonyoung cleaned their mess
as you entered the room, you plopped down on the small seat and a pout came on your lips “they ruined my shirt” you muttered
he was getting something from his bag, then he handed you a hoodie, “change your shirt with this, i’ll be back”
then he was out of the room,,
when you replaced your ruined shirt with his hoodie, an unfamiliar manly scent lingered in your nostrils
it was jeonghan’s real scent
not the coffee scent
but his real scent that smelt so manly
when he came back, he had a cold compress on his hand, and squeezed himself beside you
the drink was spilled on your side and near your chest, so jeonghan hesitated for a second before pressing the compress
“do you want me to do it or you can do it by yourself”
you chuckled at how flustered he was, ofc, you got the compress from his hand and put it inside the hoodie
while you did that, he snaked an arm around your shoulder and pulled you closer to him
then pressed his cheek on your forehead
djaslkdjsalkdj
“i need to ask my manager to ban ppl from going here if they’re going to cause any trouble”
and as he said that lowly, you wanted to melt in his arms bc he’s so sweet and concerned to you :’(
“you don’t really have to do that, you’ll lose bunch of customers. i guess, i’ll be the one to adjust” you mumbled
“no, i want you here. if you stopped coming, i’ll resign and apply to the campus cafe then”
that time, you were so sure that the feelings are mutual
so,,,,you pulled a way to have a better view of his face, then pressed your warm lips on his cheek
“spill. are you in love with me???”
“and what if i am?”
“i dont believe you”
then in a second, his lips connected with yours,,and he didnt pull away until you kissed him back
when the two of you separated, he muttered under his breath “you taste like coffee” and earned a subtle smack on his chest from you
and you started dating on that day thanks to the girl who spilled coffee on you : )
jeonghan didnt resign on his job,, but the girls just stopped showing up in the shop and he is more than glad
you’d still visit him, and he’d still give you a latte art
esp when you’re not feeling very well, he’d make a heart design for you
jeonghan just loves you so much
when you couldnt visit him, the two of you would just meet by the nearest park and you’d have your time together there
when he’s not working, you’d go into park adventures with ofc, a cup of coffee
bc jeonghan, parks, and a cup of coffee are your love :’)
maybe you love jeonghan a lil more hehe
and he does the same to you

Ultimately, like the brain has a recognition and physical atribute that corresponds with most chemicals in nature (possibly even synthetic chemicals) the psychological functions that a person can aquire are almostordaned and recieved in a timely fashion by the organ and im assuming the subconscious effortlessly and for evolutionary purpose. So I will assume everyones own, (however existential), growth experience is interesting. Having the atribute of spiking and deminishing of at least two of the brains most important chemicals related to experience, and behavior… and the awareness of the (most obvious to you) potential for not only chemical related occurances and their ripple effect, but the behavioral methods that the acute brain, manic brain, almost has a natural function to excercise and use usually either for a better survival or further expansion into astonishing existential and soon to be investigated parapsychological, social behaviors that tend to stick as long as they serve in a new type evolutionary (ie “Counter intuative”, productive and humanistic beavior that the mind eagerly draws in like an antennae recieving and storing up valueable energy.

mr. moreau
an unfinished scrap of a novel i am not sure ill continue
i can see it its a diamond with the crossroads its white borders from my cracked window up here
i ‘ave to get that fixed)—  just below the fog (the fog is low today)
—and its on top of the street that was just painted
oh yesterday or maybe the day before that
or something,
i think
black as my genevieve’s ‘air
two bodies crisscrossed atop of each other and splattered like paint on a black canvas, a pollack of angry reds and i cant see their face cause theyve been ravaged by the hard concrete and im so high up looking down like a dreamer into a field of rye and i shudder because oh, how painful is that but i also suppose,
when youre fallin i guess you only feel the woosh of the wind under you and maybe your soul leaves your body before your body breaks into a million teeny tiny pieces and everything inside you that youve ever dreamed flows out of you like a bucket tipping over onto a tile floor—maybe
maybe its a perpetual fear and youre trapped inside a perpetual cycle of mind numbing terror because youre falling to your doom and you regret that your feet left the edge in the first place and maybe, maybe you shoulda called your mom and then told her that you loved her one last time or apologized to the man that you bumped into while you were hurrying home yesterday and the tears are flying from your face ‘cause you can see them surrounding your grave wearin nothing but black and your father is silent but a kind of silent youve never seen before and in that second you can just SEE him taking the same path you are and then
maybe the fear grips your limbs like god coming down and punishing you but all you feel is a childish sort of aversion an “i dont wanna” cause you dont wanna—you dont wanna die cause you have so so much to live for and youre cryin to some big fat man up in the sky but whats he gonna do? he cant stop you
but i wouldn’ know but i took the elevator and went down to look at the scene anyway cause we’re all drawn to the misfortune of others anyway like nothing more than moths having an orgy on a blue flame
mr. steinway was next to me in the elevator; he lived on the 13th floor and i on the 12th i saw him smoking up on the roof sometimes. he was a gentleman by any other name, except the part where his wife left him cause hed been caught with a particularly young mistress but i suppose that didnt matter because he played ravel’s jeux d’eau like no one else in the world could and maybe he played her body like that homonymous six figure grand he has, who knows
his face was wrinkled and ugly but the melodies he played were smooth and beautiful so who cared about his damn visage i guess
“oh, mister moreau,” and for that matter, his voice wasnt particularly musical either
“steinway, are you heading down to see what happened?”
“arent we all,” he chuckled like the deaths were a funny little joke he had made up,
“i think i’ll stop by the grocery store”
“is that so?” he spoke like a conductor introducing a symphony to an ignorant audience and he was just trying to find a way to relive his days of performing inside carnegie hall’s stern auditorium because all he performed in now was his empty apartment, we around ‘im the unwilling listeners. he silently watched the floor numbers count down on the bar above the elevator doors 10 9 8 7 “i ‘aven’t been there lately.” he finally said like he had wondered how to talk without being offensive while still showing his pockets were full of gold.
dick, i thought 4 5
and waited and 2 1 and the doors opened.
our doorman greeted us. he was a fine fellow and i talked with him when it was too awkward for silence. he had a prized son about to head off to columbia on some scholarship or another and his younger daughter was expected to follow in his shoes. his mother was bedridden his dad dead and apparently he made a great deal of money working as a valet for the most expensive hotel in the city on the weekends. he liked the color orange and his ties were sometimes tied with a different knot because his daughter liked to practice on him. for lunch he preferred a simple tomato and mozzarella panini from the cafe a few blocks away but occasionally he partook in the pita bread and hummus that mrs. tomadakis on the fourth floor gave him and he always always despised it when someone moved the rug in front of the door. i didnt know his name.
“another suicide, huh?” he gave me a warm smile and mr. steinway a slightly cooler one
he said ‘another’ because it had been the eighth one this month and we were only fourteen days into it and silently, slowly we found ourselves heading towards a point of numb disassociation—when one person committed suicide it was all over the news like mr. steinway’s scandal and you learned their birthday, their name, their age,
every tiny detail of they had been, the sorrow of their friends and family,
and everything that happened between the day that they they came into the world and the day they left
and the people reacted with horror, the parents apologized to their kids and the kids to their parents, and the grief counselors opened their doors to those who had lost someone in a similar fashion and had to relive the memory through someone else’s eyes and maybe a wide-eyed girl holdin the blade to her small wrist told herself not today, not today
but of course, thats me being optimistic
sometime after the third suicide all that popped up was a name and a vague somethingorother reason they lit themselves on fire or shot themselves in the ‘ead or something and then a frown from the casters, maybe a tinge of sympathy entered their tone but then 10 seconds passed and they forgot because this was all part of a trend that would end. the people talked about the suicides in hushed tones but now the conservations were turning into a more questioning again? and a response of yeses and then it tended to be never discussed again because hey it didnt involve us anyhow
so the nameless bodies started to pile up one on top of each other and i knew the faces and names of maybe three or four but no more.
i nodded to him. “troubling,” i said, because what else could i say
“yes, definitely. my wife had me turn off the news last night because she was so… distressed at all the incidents lately” the doorman replied and there was a hint of something unknown when he said it. nonetheless he turned to the man next to me because his priorities were his own “I heard your playing the other day, mr. steinway. marvelous as always,” he said, voice turned slick because steinway gave good tips. he couldn’t hear anything from all the way on the 1st floor of course
mr. steinway looked chuffed, a prizewinning cock who fought with all the other roosters. “the debussy or the khachaturian?”
“the khachaturian, of course. i always find myself partial to the contemporary—“ the doorman said in an inviting tone to begin an conversation that would undoubtedly net him a few more dollars or maybe a lot more next week—
“interesting!” steinway murmured in that hushed tone since discussion of classical music was clearly some covert operation that no one was supposed to know about. i walked outside into the cool fall air knowing that they would be stuck there for a good ten minutes or more and noticed that the crowd around the two corpses in the middle was gone already and the first thing i wondered was not who they were but rather if dear genevieve had heard the news
there is a photographer standing by the bodies with her big old camera snap snap and she looks up and stares at me staring at her she stands up and i notice that the bottom of her pants have been scuffed by the road she smiles at me without dusting herself off,
“hello!” she was too cheery for the death in front of her “do you live here?” she is the only one out here and the world feels strangely empty
“yes, i” i pointed to the clean, modern building to the left “live just over there,”
she looked at me up and down up and down “you wouldn’t know these people would you?” no i wouldnt
“no” her face fell but then it rose again as she stuffed a card into my clammy hand and the bracelets on her hand jangled and she grinned at me with white teeth but the front two were crooked as if someone ‘ad taken a pair of pliers to them and her brown ‘air was messy, her skin lighter than mine—“i was just wondering since no one seems to know who they are” (she spoke in a rush like she was breathless) and i finally start to wonder indeed, who they are because even as corpses their hands are entwined together “i’m” and now that im down here i can see the fine details in their “photographer, i” faces and the one on the left has that dead fish look in their dark eyes and the eyes are wide open and theyre staring into “crime scenes” my very soul and i wonder if theyre blaming me for my being complicit in their deaths because i too heard the news and did nothing but “ive been in the news” my hands are shaking and i think i couldnt have done anything because i didnt know but something jabs me — a maybe i did know because i too heard the news and passed by disinterested “but i also do” and im staring back at them and theyre staring back at me in a staring contest that i know i will lose “family portraits, anything you need basically” and the one on the rights eyes are closed and the part of their face that isnt all burst open and spilling onto the floor has a tender charm and their lips are fixed in what seems like a peaceful smile but im thinking no there is no way that could be peaceful and oh “call the number if” their ‘ands are all so small if i could just have grabbed those before they jumped maybe id be staring at an empty black canvas instead of a grotesque exhibit of all that we ‘ave done wrong

“A friend Steve; you have one of those right? Big guy? Metal arm?”
Title: "A friend Steve; you have one of those right? Bug guy? Metal arm?"
Pairing: Steve Rogers x reader starring OFC!Ari, miscellaneous police cars
Word count: 2,038
Summary: tbh I don't even really remember, Steve and the reader are running from HYDRA and happen upon an old friends house where implied smut ensues I guess???
Warnings: A bloody nose, very slight fight scene, very light smut, smut implied, a lot of fluff and joking Steve
[A/N]: This is my fic for Bethtastic’s 6k follower challenge ( @not-moose-one-shots  ) It’s also my first published Steve fic. Please enjoy, and feedback is greatly appreciated (good or bad feedback)
We ran down the empty suburban streets, dodging the spotlights of helicopters and trolling “police” cars. I spotted the house just as a helicopter above us switched on its spotlight. I grabbed Steve’s hand and tugged him as hard as I could to the right, towards the house. I pulled him with me to the sliding glass door I knew was in the back and slid it open, thankful that it was unlocked like she’d said it would be. 
As soon as we stepped inside I closed and locked the door and pulled the blinds down over the glass. We both stood there breathing heavily for a minute, me longer than Steve. He looked around the grand kitchen that we’d stepped into. It was exceptionally nice, humongous, and well stocked. 
“What are we doing here? What if the owner comes down and finds us here?” Steve asked, his voice low as I walked towards the pantry. 
“Don’t worry about it, she’s a friend and she isn’t even here; she’s in Mexico City.“ 
“A friend?” He asked. 
“Someone who won’t mind us staying in her house for a few days while we hide out, a friend Steve; you have one of those right? Big guy, metal arm?” I joked, jumping up onto the kitchen counter and eating a few grapes out of the nearby fruit bowl. Steve let himself smile for a minute before looking around. 
“I’m going to go find a bathroom and shower and then we can talk about getting away from those guys.” I nodded in response and watched his pert ass sway in his tight jeans as he walked away. I kissed my teeth just as he left the room, crossing my legs and leaning back on my hand against the countertop. 
“Damn shame…” I whispered, popping another grape into my mouth. Suddenly, the sound of a punch landing and the quiet click of a gun’s hammer being pulled back echoed around the room. 
Steve backed into the kitchen once more, one hand up as he stared at whoever had the gun and the other hand holding a bloody nose. I was off the countertop in an instant, pressing myself to the wall next to the doorway to the kitchen, ready to take down whoever had the gun. As soon as the gun and hands of the person came into view I jumped forward, pushing their arms up as they fired before bringing my leg behind theirs and pushing them to the floor before I knelt quickly and pressed a knee to their throat. 
As soon as I saw who it was I jumped off and threw myself back against the wall. “Jesus Ari, you scared the shit out of me!” I exclaimed. She sat up and rubbed the front of her neck and upper chest. 
“Jesus, you couldn’t say hi before crushing my throat with your knee?” She mocked back. I stood, putting out a hand and pulling her up with me. Steve stood off to the side staring at the both of us, his blood slowly dripping onto his shirt and the floor. 
“You couldn’t have chosen a different house?” Steve asked, finally gaining my and Ari’s attention. I smiled, letting a small laugh escape my lips. 
“Sorry, Ari, this is Steve, Steve, this is my friend Ari,” I introduced. 
“Sorry, I….I thought that you were Hydra, or some government agent coming to look for her or me or something,” Ari apologized. 
“It’s okay, I think Y/N thought the same of you,” Steve joked, managing a smile even with blood dripping off his chin. 
“Alright well, why don’t you two go upstairs and get cleaned up, again, sorry Steve. The bedroom with the big shower is upstairs and to the left, end of the hall,” Ari explained, “Try not to get too much blood on my carpet please, use a towel or something; and stay safe!” she called after us, winking at me as soon as Steve was turned around. 
Steve trudged his way up the double flight of stairs using the bottom of his shirt to staunch the flow of blood from his face until he could find a towel. He gestured ahead of him when we finally reached the door and I swung it open easily, passing by the 5-star hotel worthy room for the equally beautiful bathroom for a towel. I reached into Ari’s bathroom closet full of plush white towels and grabbed one before walking back into the bedroom, watching Steve be in awe of such luxury. I chuckled and threw the towel at his chest, not surprised when he still caught it, even in his dazed state. 
“The awe will wear off in a little while, in the meantime, I’m gonna shower and you can deal with your bloody nose.” I quickly turned on my heal before I caught myself staring at him again, shutting the bathroom door quietly behind me. I leaned against it a second and let out a slow breath before pushing off of it and grabbing 2 fluffy towels out of the closet and throwing them over the side of the clear glass encased shower. I slowly peeled off my sweat and dirt covered shirt, followed by my pants which pulled slightly at the still scabbing scar tissue on my thigh from a previous mission. 
The sensation of my pants being stuck to the wound with dried blood and having to pull it off was less than pleasurable and needless to say, I was glad to finally get my old bra and cotton panties off and get into the spacious shower. I stepped to the side of the showerhead as I turned it on, not wanting to brave the cold water as it warmed up. 
When I was finally under the tranquil pounding of the steaming water I let all the tension built up in my muscles start to melt away. I turned my back to the water, letting the powerful water pressure beat away at the muscles in my shoulders until they relaxed on my body once again. I helped myself to the assorted shower items sitting on a ledge in the shower, gently lathering the lavender shampoo into my scalp and sighing as I finally felt relaxed for the first time in days. As I let the shampoo sit in my hair I took the sea salt infused body wash and washing my upper body, taking care to wash away any leftover grime from the mission with Steve. I let myself enjoy the entire shower experience, even shaving my underarms and legs with a razor that was sitting on the shelf of shower items. Halfway through rinsing my conditioner out, there was a small knock on the door. 
“Come in,” I answered, glad the steam of the shower covered the glass of the shower when I recognized Steve’s frame step into the bathroom. 
“Ari said there would be clothes and a hairbrush and whatnot in this bag so I’m just bringing it in here for you, it’s on the counter.” I smiled, even when I couldn’t fully make him out I could see the quiet awkwardness that was Steve Rogers. 
“Thanks, I’ll be out in a few,” I answered back, not keeping the relaxedness of my body out of my voice. He just murmured a small 
“Okay,” before leaving the bathroom, the soft click of the door signaling his exit. I let myself stand under the warm stream for a few more seconds before sighing and shutting the water off. I wrapped one towel around my hair after wringing it out and wrapped one around my body. 
I shivered for a second as the cold air outside the shower hit my skin before quickly drying all the remaining water off of my body and reaching in the back Ari had put together for me. Expecting the normal cotton panties I normally wore I reached around the bag surprised to pull out a pair of black lacy boy shorts followed by a black, sheer, unlined bra with the same lace around the edges. “Goddammit Ari,” I whispered. 
I slipped on the undergarments anyways, not willing to get back into the sweaty, dirty, mess that was my under clothes from before. The underwear was followed by nothing other than a large men’s t-shirt that reached just below my butt. I sighed knowing what Ari was trying to do and just gave up fighting it. Who knows, perhaps something good would come out of it. I reached into the bag and retrieved a bottle of lotion, smoothing it over my legs and body before finally shaking my hair free of the towel on my head and brushing it. I used the given deodorant and closing the bag before giving myself one last once-over in the mirror, shrugging and then opening the door. 
I threw the bag into the nearest chair and watched Steve open his eyes from on his place laying on the bed. 
“Hey…” Steve trailed, watching my every move as I made my way over to the bed. I ran the last few feet and threw myself onto the bed, landing on my side. I smiled up at him before wrinkling my nose at him. 
“You should really shower.” He let out a small laugh, getting up and grabbing a bag of his own that Ari had no doubt filled with an old boyfriend’s clothes. Steve’s shower lasted significantly shorter than I’m sure mine did, not even allowing me enough time to fall asleep. 
As Steve stepped out of the bathroom, steam billowing around him in only a pair of boxers I was sure you could see the change in my face from tired to completely turned on. He seemed to not understand the fact that I wasn’t used to seeing so much of him; his strong chest, his thick thighs, his bulging biceps… 
“The shirt didn’t fit so I guess I’ll be sleeping in this,” he explained, throwing his bag in the chair with mine before laying back down on the bed facing me on his side. 
“That’s a real shame,” I managed to get out. Steve’s eyebrows furrowed. 
“The shirt, I mean.” He nodded, his eyes searching my face carefully. 
“Is it?” 
“Hmm?” I asked back, not fully comprehending his speech when he was this close and this shirtless. 
“Is it really a shame Y/N? Cause you don’t seem too upset by it,” Steve said, a slow grin working onto his face. “What do you really think?” He continued, staring into my eye challengingly. 
“I think,” I started, swallowing and trying to gain back my words. “I think that I haven’t gotten to see this much of you very often and it’s pretty damn amazing. I think I want to definitely make out with you but if you don’t want to that’s complete-” I got cut off by Steve’s lips pressing softly to mine. 
I lost myself in the kiss, not even noticing when he had moved so he laid back against the headboard and I sat in his lap. My hands traveled of their own accord, pressing my fingertips into his shoulders before grasping at the hairs at the back of his neck. His hands roamed over my back and down my sides, over my waist and hips before settling on my upper thighs. We both groaned aloud as I pressed my hips down onto him, breaking the kiss to breathe and press our foreheads together. 
Suddenly there was the sound of something moving over the carpet near the door. We both looked to see a condom laying just under the edge of the door, Ari’s voicing ringing on the other side of the wooden door. 
“Be safe!” And then the soft pat-pat of her feet running away quickly. I let out a soft laugh, closing my eyes and dropping my head into Steve’s neck.
“You could have chosen a different house,” He said quietly. 
“Shut up.”
