found out yesterday that I have covid and honestly getting it this far in when I don't even leave the house or see anyone is just embarrassing like how did this happen
#natchats#started feeling a bit shitty on Saturday#like i could feel a sore throat coming on#and then i woke up at like 3am and couldnt get to sleep for an hour which was just more annoying than anything#and then i spent most of sunday napping#which is like#its not unheard of for me to nap#but i was in bed from basically when i wome up at 8ish until about half4 when i decided to take a shower in the hopes it would wake meupabit#then yesterday i was saying how me and my friend might do something this week#and my mum was like you better take a covid test just in case#(which she says basically any time anyone of us even feels mildly unwell)#and i was like yeah better do#but i was like itll probs be fine like ive just got a cold#but then the test was positive and i was like ummmm what#which thinking about it now its like yeah bitch when has a cold EVER made me sleep for a day??? never#sunday was the worst bc i was in bed and had a bad throat and headache#and also my period to top it off#yesterday i didnt feel as bad but i gained a bitch of a cough that i still have today#but i didnt nap yesterday (tho i did go to bed a bit earlier (not to sleep just to lay there and watch sex ed lmao) which i dont do often)#in terms of how i got it either my dad brought it home from the pub or my mum brought it home from work. my dad has been mildly ill recently#but i feel like if it was covid he woulda been more unwell than he was#so idk maybe they just carried it home to me as a gift#or maybe i walked past someone a bit too closely on a walk last week#unlikely bc i tend to try and avoid ppl on walks#i went on a walk yesterday in the hopes the fresh akr would be good. it did for a bit tbf but i think i stayed out longer than i#shouldve and just tired myself out lmao#i also Obviously kept far away from ppl#luckily there wasnt many ppl about#and when there was it was easy to get away from them

i was re reading your cowboy price and in one of the tags you mention how ducks heard a lot about ghost but cant say anything (when she first meets ghost on assignment) does that mean goose has heard things too?
like she off handedly hears a comment about some otherwordly thing ghost did, didnt hear it was ghost/forgot about it, then years later she wakes ghost up at like 3am going 'that was you!?'
I think for the most part Price has tried to shield Goose from the realities of his work. He might talk about his team generally, maybe share a few anecdotes about less military related things they've done, but not anything mission related. Goose would have heard about a Simon that cracks terrible jokes and makes tea at 4am, a Simon that had a bit of trouble in the past but is making a solid go of it now. She'd hear from Soap about how Ghost is a good mate, how he's always got his back and is the most loyal, trustworthy, man in the 141 ('sides your da of course).
Duck hears about the Ghost that can't sleep, that stares at the wall for hours, that has pits of a deep seated anger in him("I can't see the bottom of it sometimes, love." Price tells her), that burned his own tags when he found his family dead. Duck looks at Ghost that first time she sees him out in the field, and sees a man who scares others so they don't see how terrified he is. She knows Ghost as someone willing to do what needs to be done to a suicidal degree, someone that can't touch other people without worrying his anger will rub off on them, that scrubs himself raw in the shower on bad days just trying to get the stench of corpses off his skin.
Duck knows Ghost. Goose knows Simon, but she doesn't put together that her Simon and the Simon that Price sometimes mentioned are the same person. Price is careful to keep Goose out of the loop on the rougher parts of his job, because in his eyes she doesn't need to know it, it's better to keep her ignorant and hopeful that he'll keep coming home. It's just for Duck that he breaks down, that he sits on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands and asks her how he's supposed to save a man that's already dead. It's Duck that rubs his back and whispers soothing words, that never tells him to leave even though she desperately wants to, because she knows he would, and he'd never forgive himself for it.
I think it's Duck that floats the idea of Ghost retiring with Price. "We have that little guest house out back," She reminds him softly, "You could bring Simon home, give me that son we always talked about." And Price chuckles, her voice so warm and genuine in his ear. He'll think about it, turn the idea over in his mind until his hands have hewn off the rough edges and he can present the idea to Ghost. It'll be a rough transition, he thinks, but Duck never asks for anything if she doesn't mean it, and he'll always give her anything she wants. Besides, it'll be nice to have an extra pair of hands around the farm, and when Goose comes home for the holidays maybe she can show Ghost around town.

The next morning Emily woke up at 7am, anything but well rested. She didnt get into bed until 3am and despite being exhausted sleep would not overcome her. She tossed and turned for hours, her mind going round and round yesterdays events. Coming home to find that girls underwear and dirty sheets. Her explosive episode at Teller Morrow that left her extremely embarrassed. She spent all last night crying and packing away Noah’s things. 6 years. Gone in the blink of an eye. Tears welled in her eyes at the painful thoughts, the ache in her chest something she was already becoming familiar with. NO. She’d done enough crying, especially over that asshole. Pulling herself up from the warmth of her bed, she forced herself into the bathroom to get ready for what she already knew was going to be a long day. 
Jax watched from the office as Noah leaned against the boxing ring chatting to one of the clubs many hang arounds. He really was never gonna learn. Something about him didnt sit right with Jax. Jax messed around with more than his fair share of women, and he had no doubts about the broken hearts he left in his wake, but Piney was right. Half the men in the Club would kill for a woman like Emily to hold them down, and the likes of Noah just threw it away. He thought he knew everything but the reality was the little runt didnt know his arse from his elbow. “You wanna tell me why your glaring holes through that kid?” His Mom spoke without even a glance away from her paperwork. Gemma Teller really didnt miss a beat when it came to her son. Jax shook his head before turning to his mother. “It just dont sit right with me thats all. Got a bad feeling.” Gemma raised a knowing eyebrow at her sons vauge response. “Oh so its got nothing to do with you being curious about Little Miss Angry?” Jax smirked at his mom. “No. Just looking out for the good of the club, as aways. And trust me, Noah isnt good.” Gemma nodded as she poured herself a fresh cup of coffee. Before Gemma could continue her questioning, they both turned at the sound of a knock on the open office door. There she was. Little Miss Angry. Stood in the doorway looking uncomfortable. "Sorry to interrupt. I'm just here to sign the paperwork for the bike." Emily wanted the ground to swallow her up as she stood there awkward and red faced. "Oh, and here." She thrust the large baking tray full of homemade lasagne and Garlic bread towards Jax. "I made you guys food to say sorry for erm. What ever that was yesterday." Jax gratefully accepted the tray. "You really didn't have to darlin. Come this way, you can fill the paperwork out in the clubhouse." Jax jerked his head in the direction of the building but regretted it when he saw her face change as she clocked Noah still stood by the boxing ring. "How about we sit on the benches instead?" Emily visibly relaxed at the suggestion. She wanted to be the furthest away from him she could get. "You guys head over, I'll bring the paperwork out." Gemma spoke as she took the tray of food off of Jax. "I'll put this in the clubhouse kitchen, the guys will be all over it like pigs if they see it now." Smiling at the pair as she left. Jax couldn't help but shake his head at his mother. She really was obvious. Leading her to one of the picnic tables, Jax sat down opposite Emily. "So stupid question but how are you holding up?" Emily's eyes widened at the question she wasn't expecting. "Yeah I'm fine. I'm always fine." Emily may have convinced her self she was fine but Jax wasnt buying it. The bags under the girls eyes were dark, she looked exhausted. She glanced over to where Noah was stood talking to some girl. He really didn't give a fuck about her. Clearly. "He's been busted back to prospect." Emily couldn't help the shock that spread on her face at Jax's comment. Before she could speak jax answered the question that he knew was coming. "For the disrespect. He didn't earn his place at our table. How he treated you? It wasn't going to go unanswered." Emily Shrugged her shoulders. “Not gonna lie i wasnt expecting the club to do that. The way you tend to treat women isnt exactly good, So i wasnt expecting you guys to care. Thought i would have my angry outburst and you guys would go on about your day. You hardly know me anyway, he always kept me seperate from it. He used to tell me it was because of how dangerous things got. I thought it was sweet, him looking out for my safety. When really its because he wanted to  fuck around behind my back.” Emily smiled at Jax through watery eyes. “First love dies hard ya’know? I’ve stayed loyal to a sad excuse of a man for 6 years thinking he loved me. He was my first everything. Pretty pathetic right? 25 years of age and I’ve only been with one man.” Emily sniffed and wiped her eyes. “Yeah love will make you do stupid shit, until one day reality smacks you in the face. Hard.” Jax smiled at her. “I get it. Fuck, if i could tell you what my first love did to me, you wouldnt believe it. Had me proper twisted up. Even debated leaving club for her.”Emily’s eyes widened. “Fuck thats messed up. Im sorry. Loyalty is hard to come by nowadays.” Jax couldnt agree more with Emily. He couldnt understand why but he felt he could talk to her without being judged. She was different. Beautiful, but different. “Em?” Jax watched as she visibly stiffened at the sound of his voice. “I didnt know you’d be coming in? What are you hear for?” Emily ignored him completely, still staying focused on Jax. “Did your mom say how long she’d be with the paperwork?” Jax Frowned at Noah, “No Darlin’ Ill go and check now.” Fucking Noah. Was all Jax could think as he stood from the bench and headed into the office to get the paperwork his mom had clearly forgotten. 
Outside Emily was praying  Noah would disappear into thin fucking air but god had other plans. “Hey, are you gonna talk to me?” He placed a hand on her shoulder to get her attention. Emily instantly jerked away and stood up from the bench, trying to create space between them. She could feel the anger burning in her stomach again as she looked at the man she once loved. What she ever saw in him she would never know. Its as if the blind fold she had been wearing for the last 6 years had finally been lifted and she saw him for what he truly was. A Pathetic Sad little man. “What are you doing sitting with Jax? You know his reputation. What you wanna get back at me so your gonna fuck a brother?” Noah’s voice carried across the busy TM Lot. Everyone from the Mechanics working away, the rest of the club coming out of the club house, and even customers heard the accusation spill from his mouth. “Are you fucking kidding me?” There it was. The anger she was trying to hold back came spilling from her mouth. “What i do, Who i speak to and who i fuck is none of your goddamn business anymore! Stay the fuck away from me.” Emily tried to leave it at that. She tried to walk away. But Noah made the mistake of grabbing her arm and trying to pull her towards him. And before he knew it Emily’s clenched fist was making contact with his nose. The crunch was loud. Satisfying even. “Carry on and I will FUCK every single man that sits around that fucking redwood table that doesnt have an old lady waiting for them. 6 years of shitty sex i think im owed a good dicking down. Maybe ill save Jax for last, from what i hear he’s second to none in bed.” Emily spat as she smacked Noah again, ignoring the searing pain in her hand. “And im pretty sure as prospect they can make you watch.” The loud whoops and whistles that came from the rest of the club, shocked Emily. Noah sat on the floor holding his bloody nose as she turned to walk away shaking her quickly bruising hand. Jax came rushing towards her with the paperwork in hand. “Come on, after that you can definitely fill this out in the clubhouse. I’ll get some ice for your hand aswell.” Emily nodded as she followed Jax. Her anger gone, and embarrasment quickly taking over.

(is it because the contents are too explicit to read or because kan's handwriting is awful? you decide)
—- —-

—- —-
Kan, trying to sound happy: *about Aye and Thua* They’d make a cute couple, huh? Akk, holding back tears: They certainly are standing next to each other. 
(first few episodes core. specifically when aye is whispering in thua's ear and theyre both just standing to the side watching it happen and completely unaware that this means they are gay and in love with one of them)
—- —-
Thua: I'm so happy, I could kiss you!  Kan: Um...Neat.  *later*  Kan, lying face down on their bed: I said "Neat," Akk. Who the fuck says neat these days? It's not neat to say neat but I said it anyways because I'm fucking stupid.  Akk, reading a book: Don't beat yourself up too much, Kan. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what I did when Aye confessed his love for me?  Kan: Didn't you thank him?  Akk: *closes the book and looks at the ceiling* I fucking thanked him. 
—- —-
Kan: How is the most beautiful person in the world?  Thua: *blushing* I—  Aye, butting into the conversation: Akk is perfect, thanks for asking. 
—- —-
Wat: Do you love Kan?  Thua: Yeah, I do.  Wat: Akk! I told you I knew it! You owe me 100 baht!  Akk: We all love Kan. You should've asked if he was IN love with him.  Thua: I thought that was implied.  Akk: ...  Wat: ...  Thua, looking straight at Akk: Congrats Wat, you just won 100 baht. 
—- —-
Akk: Are you trying to seduce me?  Aye: Why, are you seducible? 
—- —-
Aye: Jail is no fun. I’ll tell you that much.  Wat: Oh, you’ve been?  Aye: Once. In Monopoly. 
—- —-
Wat: When I was a kid, Kan told me that the paper strip that’s in the chocolate kisses were edible and I ate them with the chocolate for a year.  Teacher Sani: They are!  Wat: FOR REAL?  Sani: No! Why did you fall for it again? 
—- —-
Thua, on a random band name generator: Oooo! They Might Be Depressed Horses! That about sums up my friend group. 
—- —-
Akk: Being gay is a constant battle between "I wish to sit on a window bench with my lover, our legs tangling as we listen to the birds" and "Hey, let's go throw rocks at fascists" and I think that's very sexy of us.  Ayan: If the window's open and you time it right, you can do both. 
—- —-
Ayan: Hey, Akk, what do you think it would be like if we had kids?  Akk: What would it be like? Inconvenient, mostly.  Ayan: No, I mean, what would they be like, the kids? You ever think about it?  Akk: Can't really say I have.  Ayan: You know, for someone as eccentric as yourself, you can be boring as fuck sometimes.  Akk: Sorry, Aye. For what it's worth, I'm picturing them now. A boy and a girl. Two perfect little freaks of nature raised by people who've clearly got no business bringin' up anybody. 
—- —-
Ayan: Talk dirty to me, baby~  Akk: The dishes.  Ayan: Wh-  Akk: They’ve been there for 4 days and it’s your turn to wash them. You still haven’t cleaned them and I have asked you to do so several times. 
—- —-
Ayan: My hands are cold.  Akk: Here, let me hold them.  Ayan: My lips are cold too. Akk: *covers Ayan's mouth with his hand* 
—- —-
Akk: Okay, I’m going to get the wedding cake.  Ayan: Perfect, while you do that I’ll check on the ring bear.  Akk: ...  Akk: You mean ring bearER, right?  Ayan: ...  Akk: Look me in the eyes and tell me you are not going to bring a dangerous wild animal to our wedding. 
—- —-
Ayan: Since we're in a relationship now, your clothes are my clothes too. Don't ask me why I have your shirt on, this is our shirt.  Akk: Fine, but when I come strutting in with your fuzzy socks I don't want to hear shit. 
—- —-
Akk: You are the love of my life and I would do anything within reason to make you happy.  Ayan: I would be happy if you ate, stayed hydrated and got a reasonable amount of sleep.  Akk: I said within reason, Ayan. How about I murder that guy?  Ayan: So murder is in reason but proper self care isn't?  Akk: Well, duh. What kind of question is that? 
—- —-
Ayan: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.  Akk: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.  Ayan: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns??  Akk: Is it working? 
—- —-
Akk: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.  Ayan: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.  Akk: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns??  Ayan: Is it working? 
—- —-
and now, for my personal favourite...
Ayan: Akk is playing hard to get.  Ayan: Little does he know, I'm a master at playing hard to get rid of. 
—- —-
that's all for now, but i promise, i will be back

closer, josh kiszka
Tumblr media
this was a fic request for reader sleeping with one of the twins and ronnie being the bestie but you didnt know so its very awkward. bestie i tried! hopefully its what you had in mind, if it isnt, let me know and I will write it again!
word count : 2.8k+
warnings : mentions of sex, hangover, allusions to sex but no smut, language, cheating, hickies, making out, josh doing jelvis, frat josh
enjoy ❤️
The best thing about frat parties was that whenever you woke up, you never remembered a thing. 
When you woke up in the morning, you felt another body next to you. You could feel just the sheet covering your body. You looked at the table next to you and saw an empty bottle of cherry limeade vodka and a few empty cans of four lokos.
You felt whoever it was next to you move, followed by a muffled morning groan. You looked over and saw a guy who was in film criticism with you. What was his name? Adam? Jeff? Jake? Josh? Josh, that was his name, you remembered. 
He moved his head over towards you and opened his eyes. You turned your head so you wouldn't make eye contact with him. He put his arm under you and moved you closer to him. He wrapped his arm around you and rubbed your shoulder. You pretended to wake up, trying not to give yourself away. 
“Hey there cowgirl,” He said to you and placed the pink cowgirl hat on your head. It all came back to you as soon as he put the hat on you.
One of your friends had invited you to a costume party last night. Like most college girls, you were dressed in your skimpiest halloween costume ever. A white bandana print crop top, low rise flare jeans, cowgirl boots, and a pink bedazzled cowgirl hat. 
He sat up and grabbed the hat, putting it on his head. You found your phone in the bed and looked over at the time, 11:25 AM. Luckily, it was Saturday, so you didn't have any classes today. 
You looked through your phone on snapchat and found a video you don't remember taking. That was because you didn't. 
It was a video of you on top of Josh, riding him in the pink hat. You quickly put your phone face down on the bed. You sat up holding the sheet to your chest, trying to find your clothes. He got up and put his underwear on, before going over to the closet. You had assumed this was his room, as he had knowledge of where everything was. He threw a shirt at you and told you to keep it. 
You put the shirt on and grabbed your jeans. You quickly put your jeans on and found your keys and wallet. He very quickly dismissed you, not even saying good morning or anything. The second you stepped out of his room, he slammed the door behind you. 
You made it back to your dorm until you got a text from your friend Ronnie. She had asked if you wanted to go out for lunch. You were hungover and haven't eaten anything yet. Before you could make it to your car, you leaned over and threw up in the grass. You pulled your hair back and pulled out a makeup wipe to wipe your face off. 
You made it to the restaurant and saw Ronnie sitting in a booth. You went over to her and sat down, the first thing she said to you was, “Damn, you look like shit.” You smiled and hummed. She looked at you in confusion and asked you, “Where'd you get that shirt? My brother has one just like it.” You started panicking but shrugged, telling her you found it in the missing clothes bin at the laundromat. 
There was no way you had slept with your best friend's brother. No way. Once you ordered food and got some chips to eat, you sat there and talked about life. She had asked you if you went to a party last night. You shook your head and told her you went to a costume party. She laughed and asked if it was hosted by a guy named Jake. You nodded and she laughed, “That would be my brother.” You cocked your head to the side and she nodded. She told you she was there but she didn't see you, but little did she know, you were on top of her brother from 12AM to 3AM. 
You two ate and then said goodbye to each other. You went to your dorm and saw Maya, your roommate inside on her bed. “Girl, I have something to tell you.” you told her. She moved her book and patted her bed, ready to hear all of the drama.
“You know last night how we went to that party right, you ended up leaving with some dude, but I stayed. At around 11:30, I saw this dude with curly hair staring at me. I looked at him and waved. He came over to me and put his hand on my back and I guess led me to his room. He had some full bottles of vodka in there and some cases of four lokos. So we started drinking and we ended up having sex. Well, you know Ronnie? Yeah, I slept with her fucking brother.” 
She looked at you with her mouth wide open. She smiled and started laughing. “Bitch, how did you not know that it was her brother?” she asked you. You told her, “I haven't gone to her house before, I didn't know what her house looked like. I've only known her for a few months.” 
Your phone vibrated next to you. You looked at the notification. Ronnie. She texted you and asked you if you would want to come over, that she was bored. You sent a thumbs up and told Maya you were leaving. She wished you good luck as you were walking out the door. 
You got there and saw Kaila on the front porch, one of your best friends. She was sitting outside on a swinging bench. She walked over to you and said, “Maya updated me. Girl, how did you not know? They literally look the same.” You shook your head and walked inside as Kaila walked down the steps to leave.
You saw Ronnie on the couch with a guy you haven't seen before. “Y/N, this is my little brother, Sam.” You walked over to the couch and shook his hand. He stared at you in awe and said, “Damn, you're hot.” Ronnie laughed and patted his shoulder. “Sorry bud, she's way out of your league. And it looks like she's already got someone.” 
You gave her a confused look and she motioned to your neck. You asked her where the bathroom was and she pointed to it. You walked over to the bathroom and inspected your neck. Dark burgundy marks covering your neck. You heard someone walk over to the bathroom door and knock. You said, “Just a second.” and opened the door. You weren't looking at them until they coughed and said, “Nice hickies, cowgirl.” You would know that voice anywhere. You looked up and saw Josh, standing there, staring down at you. You quickly walked away from him and back to the couch. She apologized for her older brother's actions and said, “Oh that's just Josh. Don't worry about him, he's harmless.”
You nodded and sat down on the couch. You were on your phone when you felt the cushion next to you sink, and someone sat down.
You looked over and saw Josh. You sighed and turned away from him. There was a movie playing so Ronnie and Sam couldn't hear you two. “What? What could you possibly want?” He shrugged and said, “Nothing, just needed a place to sit.” 
You moved your attention back to your phone and chose not to pay attention to him. Until you felt something fall in your lap. His phone, with a new contact needing to be filled in. You grabbed it reluctantly and typed all your information in. 
You were playing a game when you got a text message from an unknown number. You opened it and it read,
josh
You like that video I took last night? Send it to me?
No, I will not send you a video of me riding you with my tits out.
Oh come on, you liked riding me just as much as I loved having your tits in my face.
Go away.
You never answered my question. Did you like the video I took last night?
No, I don't like the non consensual video you took of me last night.
Actually, you gave consent, thank you very much.
Whatever, go away. I'm trying to watch this movie.
He read it and put his phone down. You asked Ronnie if you could go in her room to take a nap and she nodded. About five minutes after you took your shoes off, there was a knock. You told whoever it was to come in. You assumed it was Ronnie needing to get something. You heard an “ahem” and opened your eyes to see Josh. You sighed and turned over to the other side, not facing him. 
‘Awh what? You dont wanna see me anymore?” he asked you.
You got up and turned to him. “We had sex once, that's it. Can you leave me alone now?” You asked him and looked down.
He turned his head to the door and said, “Wow, actually I was gonna ask you if you wanted to be partners on the project, but I guess not.” He sat up and walked over to the door. He muttered out a “Bye Y/N.” and opened the door to leave.
The last thing you remembered from the other night was him, specifically his Elvis accent. ‘Bye Elvis.” you said to him and put your head back down. He looked back at you and laughed, “Oh god, you remember that?” You nodded and laughed with him. He sat back down next to you and you asked him, “Did you still want to be partners? I'm gonna be honest, I sleep in class so I have no idea what's going on.” He laughed and nodded. He put his hand on your thigh, which made you look up at him. 
He looked at you with desire in his eyes. He leaned forward and kissed you roughly. He pulled away and said, “Sorry, I'll leave now.” and got up. As he was opening the door, you got up and slammed the door closed and pulled him close to you by his shirt. You hungrily kissed him and wrapped your arms around his neck. He put his arms around your ass and lifted you up onto his hips. He pushed you up against the door and started kissing down your neck. 
Tumblr media
“Josh, we can never do this again. I can't do this to Ronnie.” You told him, as you cuddled next to him. “You act like I'm repulsive.” He said to you and started getting up. “It's not that you're repulsive, she's my best friend and I'm having sex with her brother.” He scoffed and said, “Whatever Y/N. It wasn't that good anyway,” put his clothes on and left the room. 
You sat up, surprised at what he said. You got dressed and went downstairs, told Ronnie you were leaving. You could tell Josh didn't mean what he said, because the way he looked at you as you were wiping tears was remorseful. You looked at him one last time before leaving.
You picked up your little sister Vanessa from her dads house and brought her out for ice cream. She was 17, so she wasn't stupid. “Long night?” she asked you and laughed. You scoffed and told her everything, from Friday night to two hours ago. Her response was, “Damn, what an asshole. You could've said that his twin was better, that's what I would've done.” You laughed at her and asked if she wanted to get her nails done, that it was on you. She nodded and you two went to the nail salon. 
As you were getting your toes done, you felt your phone vibrate on your lap.
I’m sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry.
Okay
I'm trying to apologize and all you say is okay?
Yes, that's all I'm saying, cause I have nothing else to say to you.
You left it at that and went over to get your nails done. You got sparkly pink square nails and Vanessa got white. You paid and tipped your technicians and went out for lunch. 
As soon as you got into the car, you handed her your phone and showed her the messages. She laughed and said, “Yeah he kind of was an asshole. But you seriously cried over him?” You nodded and scoffed. You went to a local barbecue place and saw Jake and Ronnie there. You and Jake had ENG 102 together. You said hey to him and he waved back to you. When you were done ordering, Vanessa whispered in your ear that he was hot. You laughed and told her that was Josh's twin and she stopped laughing.
Jake motioned you to come sit with them. You and Vanessa sat next to each other. Jake told you Josh was coming. You let out an “okay” and nudged Vanessa with your knee. When Josh got there, you were not expecting him to have another girl with him. You looked up at him and he looked at you, dumbfounded. Ronnie looked at the girl with Josh and said, “Hey Morgan, I didn't see you come to the house this morning? Where were you?” Morgan looked at her with confusion and said, “I wasn't in the house this morning?” Ronnie’s eyes widened and said, “Oh, okay.”
Josh started kicking you under the table, trying to get your attention. You kicked him back harder and he winced. Vanessa kept nudging you, trying to get you to say something. Morgan reached her hand over to you and said, “Hi! I'm Morgan, Josh's girlfriend!” You shook her hand and introduced you and Vanessa. She seemed like she was a sweetheart. 
Once you and Vanessa finished eating, you got up and went to the car. Josh had gotten up and asked if he could talk to you about the project. You told Vanessa to get in the car, while you and Josh talked. 
“You are such an asshole you know that? You cheated on your girlfriend? Why would you do that?” You asked him as you started pushing him away from you. He grabbed your wrists to try and stop you. He just sat there and said nothing to you. “I don't even want to look at you right now. Don't talk to me until you have your shit together.” you said to him. That was exactly what he did, didn't talk to you. Every time you went over to the Kiszka house, he wouldn't talk to you, wouldn't look at you. You had found a new partner for the project, which you aced. 
Tumblr media
The day was a Wednesday, when Josh had talked to you. You were in class when he turned around and asked if he could come to your dorm room. You nodded and told Maya that you needed to have a private discussion with Josh in the room and she told you she would be gone for however long you needed. You profusely thanked her and told her you would make it up to her. Once class ended, he followed you to your dorm and walked in. He complimented the nicely decorated dorm and sat down on the bed you pointed to. 
You changed into something more comfortable and sat down in the papasan chair you and Maya shared. 
“You know, the day you told me to never talk to you until I got my shit together was the day I told her I cheated on her. I never told her who it was, just that I cheated on her. She broke up with me the same day. I was just too nervous to tell you. This entire time I've just been thinking about you and I, and what it would be like if we were together. I told Ronnie too, I just told her not to say anything to you, considering it was me who came onto you. Y/N, I'm sorry. Look at me, cowgirl, I am sorry. Will you just like me again?” 
You looked at him and said, “Who said I ever stopped liking you?” and kissed him. He pulled you on top of him and laid down with you. You were about to take your shirt off when Maya walked in the door, you got off of him and cleared your throat. You and Josh both looked at her while she stood in the doorway looking right back at you two. 
She grabbed something from her bed, said sorry, and left. Josh looked at you and said, “Come here cowgirl, get on top of me.”

so i'm not 100% up on the nico lore and i keep seeing posts on my dash about how he nearly ruined his marriage to beat lewis and like, didn't even sleep in the same bed as his wife???? is any of that true? cos most of the stuff i've seen with his wife makes them seem like a really solid couple so... idk what to think
alright hello anon!!! for this one I got help from a fellow nicologist: @colors-of-feeling
the tldr of it is: nope, vivian was always incredibly supportive of nico racing, and when nico undertook the intense routines he did in 2016; she helped making sure he didn't have to focus on anything except racing, and there's even a story of their baby then 1.5 years old crawling into nico's office and instinctively putting her hand over her mouth to shush herself "cause you don't disturb daddy while he's working" 🥺😔 ultimately, nico found what he did in 2016 unsustainable and missing out on his family + kid's developments stages.
Tumblr media
blonde4blonde. I just thought they looked incredibly hot here. @colors-of-feeling extended answer below:
and okay so there are articles of him not sleeping in the same bed as vivian (i think it may be from his beyond the grid but im not positive) and like most of that was beacuse he was working with a sleep doctor on jetlag and was waking up at and going to bed at crazy hours.. like running around monaco at 3am to change his body over to a new time zone
and also vivian had all the baby duties for the entire year. nico has said and i explicitly remember that he didnt do a single diaper change because he was just focused on recovery when he was home
BUT in NO WAY did he almost ruin his marraige. nico has said multiple times that vivian was completely on board with their plan for 2016 and that he could not have done it without her love and support and that she was his rock through the entire thing. Like they are (and in 2016 were) a very strong couple and she knew what racing means to him and was willing to help him achieve his dream
more tidbits:::: he also said that she didn't even know about his plan to retire until the saturday before the race and so one could assume that it wasn't like an ultimatum or anything for her either,,, it was just their plan to try and get nico to win and she fully supported that (or so nico has said)
she even got louis vuittons in his turquoise color to wear for his championship win and was there for as many races as she could be (idk if she went to all of them)...
like to this day, the only pictures nico has behind him when hes using his sim racing set is a picture of her and him getting sprayed with champagne after his wdc win and then another similar one in his office.. like she (and the girls) are his entire life
ALSO to correct another narrative i've seen thats connected to this... everyone being like 'why is he commentating for sky if he says he loves his family' when NICO HIMSELF has said that he loves to do it and has 100% complete control over his schedule and which races he goes to and therefore can plan his work around his family rather than the other way around (that's why he's only commentating 5 or so races on location 😔)
vivian was also pregnant and gave birth in 2017, so that beats the "nico gave up sex" theory, also I personally find born again virgin world champion very funny

if you’re wondering why I’m having to repost this, or why you were perhaps previously following me but no longer are, please refer to this post. I was able to retrieve this thanks to @iamburdened - thanks so much!! ♡
Spencer Reid x gender neutral!reader
Tumblr media
4am
Spencer isnt surprised when the first sound he hears upon waking up is the fire alarm installed in the kitchen of his apartment, and discovers that the place next to him where you had been sleeping is now empty.
“Fuck, shit balls!”
He hears you mutter in frustration, noticing that you try to keep your voice down to prevent waking him, despite the fire alarm still beeping at an obnoxiously loud volume. Spencer chuckles to himself and shakes his head at the image of you in the kitchen that he’s already picturing as he gets out of bed and pulls a shirt on, knowing the sad pout he’s going to see on your face when you notice he isnt half naked anymore. Now standing, Spencer takes a moment to acknowledge his closet door, which has been left open. He checks the contents of it from afar, and comes to an unsurprising conclusion: all of his sweaters are missing. Strolling out of his bedroom, he leans against the doorframe and crosses his arms, watching in amusement as you jump around the kitchen, desperately fanning at the alarm on the ceiling until it stops beeping and you release a relieved sigh. It’s then, Spencer notices you have earphones in, and he rolls his eyes at your constant habit of forgetting just how distracted you get by music. His point is proven as you continue to dance around the kitchen to music Spencer cant hear, as if you hadnt almost burnt down his apartment moments prior. You werent forgetful enough to leave the food you were preparing though, thankfully; while you danced, you retrieved the tray from within the oven, and Spencer could have guessed exactly what you’d decided to cook at 4am: cookies. Of course, you are just a little careless, and you end up just grazing the burning hot oven tray with the side of your hand, the rest of which had been responsibly shielded by a towel you were holding, which promptly falls to the floor.
“Mother fucker!” You hiss, turning quickly to wash the burn under the cold tap at the kitchen sink, coincidentally meaning you are finally facing the direction of Spencer’s bedroon.
Naturally, upon seeing you burn yourself, your lover bounds over to you, startling you slightly because even though you were facing his direction, you hadnt looked up from the burn on your hand, so you still hadnt seen him. He helps to wash your hand, and with your burn-free one, you remove your earphones.
“Caught the clutz red handed, literally.” You chuckle, and Spencer joins you.
“Again. And Im sure it wont be the last time!” He teases, and you smile up at him.
“Did you sleep well?” You ask with genuine curiosity, causing Spencer to laugh harder as you immediately disregard the fact you just burnt yourself.
“Until the fire alarm woke me, along with a ‘fuck’ and a ‘shit balls’, I was sleeping rather well, yes.” He muses, and you sigh, both of you pulling away from the sink as Spencer fetches an ice pack from the freezer to continue to help your burn.
“Im sorry I woke you, but you cant say I didnt get my penance!” You reason, raising your hand in the air as proof.
Spencer shakes his head at you and holds the ice pack to your hand, pulling it back down from the place you were holding it above your head “Are you really suggesting that the karma for waking me is burning yourself?”
You shrug “Sounds about right.”
He laughs at this “Speaking of things that can only be explained by the existence of you, where are my sweaters?”
Your eyes light up “Oh yeah! Well, I woke up about an hour ago and I needed a method of diverting my attention from baking cookies because I was trying to tell myself that 3am was not the right time to be doing that, so I decided on a solo sweater-themed fashion show that involved a super-secret-super-sneaky mission back into your bedroom to steal all your sweaters, which I then took out here and tried on repeatedly-”
Spencer interjects, “Let me guess, until the urge to bake cookies became too much for your precious soul to resist?”
You beam up at him. “You got it in one!”
Your eyes travel down Spener’s body, and for the first time since seeing him a few minutes ago, you acknowledge that he’s wearing a shirt. And then comes the exact disappointed pout that Spencer had predicted.
“You owe me a kiss!”
Spencer raises an eyebrow “Im always happy to give you a kiss for whatever reason, but what is the particular ridiculous excuse you’re using this time?”
You nod your head in the direction of his chest “That! Hiding your beautiful body from my desperate eyes! It is a crime!”
Spencer wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you close to him, holding the ice pack to your hand by holding it between his chest and yours.
“Punishable by death?” He asks, and your eyes widen.
“Absolutely not!” You exclaim, shaking your head dramatically.
“I wouldnt consider a kiss as a punishment though, love.” Spencer argues cheekily.
Your eyebrows furrow as you consider this “You’re right, realistically…I should be taking your kiss privileges away!”
Breaking away from his arms, you try to run away from him, but Spencer knows you too well, and he quickly wraps you back up again, pulling you to his chest once more.
“I take it back! Kisses are definitely a justifiable punishment!” He retracts his previous statement, both of you laughing.
Turning around in Spencer’s arms to face him, you smile up at him, running your fingers through his bed hair with your burn-free hand.
“Good.” Is all you say, before you stand up on your tiptoes to pull him into a kiss.
And as your lips meet his, Spencer cant help but think, there’s nobody else he ever wants to spend 4am with.

OM CAST MORNING ROUTINE
Sans MC
Lucifer
Most of the time he wakes up at his desk, groaning as he stretches his aching muscles. His internal clock wakes him up, as well as his discomfort. He pulls himself together enough as he rubs his face and starts to unbutton his shirt as he makes his way to the washroom. Every morning, without fail, one side of his face and hair is completely flat from being pressed against the desk, and every morning, without fail, he hates it, so he just keeps walking past his mirror. Lucifer is a man of efficiency, so yes, he brushes his teeth in the shower. He starts it off hot to release a minute amount of tension in his back and shoulders and wash his hair, before switching it to icy cold to both wake him up, and leave enough warm water for his brothers. So his showers take 10-15 minutes because yeah, he could be faster, but its a place of relaxation and rejuvenation for him while also being considerate. He's normally down in the kitchen by around 5:30, in time to see Beel filling his water bottle for his morning run. He brews himself some coffee, then goes back to his room to finish off any work he didnt get to and organize his work he has to do for the rest of the day. When his coffee is empty, he heads back downstairs and knocks on the doors of those most guilty of oversleeping before making sure whoever is responsible for breakfast is handling it alright, and making himself more coffee to tackle the breakfast table discourse.
Mammon
Def has an alarm clock that says something like "Gotta get that Grimm!!" With a pop out Mammon with a top hat and a cane and a couple grimm flying out in a very cartoony announcer voice. Idk I dont make the rules, my brain was adamant on this though lmao. Almost like a cuckoo clock but in alarm clock form, but the voice gets mire and more disturbing every time you hit snooze. Mammon scares himself awake by hitting snooze five times to bolt out of bed and reset the clock so he can get up for the day. He heads to the bathroom and checks himself out in the mirror, especially his teeth/smile. He uses mouthwash first, and gets ready for his shower. By the time he's awake, most of the hot water has been used up, so he gets about .5 seconds of warm water, and then the house hears him yelp as the cold water comes on. Hes a little grumbly about it, and goes to sit on his bed on his phone for an unprecedented amount of time until Lucifer knocks on the door and he gets his butt back in gear. He's quick to then throw together and put on his outfit, spray a tasteful amount of cologne on, take a mirror selfie and head down for breakfast. He doesn't normally have much of an appetite in the morning, so if hes not hungry for the breakfast provided, he gives it to Beel and grabs a granola bar and an orange. After eating he rushes back to his room to properly brush his teeth, double check he has his wallet and phone, and then head out.
Levi
Levi usually stays up to ungodly hours playing video games, so when Beel wakes up for his 3am fridge raid he knocks on Levis door as a signal for him TO GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP. Levi's "morning" doesn't usually start til 12-2 in the afternoon, but he has to wake up at some point in between bc family breakfast is mandatory. But once he wakes up the second time its perfect because the house is usually empty, so its quiet and he can use ALL the hot water for himself. After his bath/shower he logs on to the games on his phone to do the daily tasks before settling down and doing his school work.
Satan
Satan usually falls asleep sitting up or reclined with a book on his face or chest, so sometimes he wakes up purely from discomfort. Other times its from a tamagotchi-like device that doubles as his alarm clock. He wakes up the first time it goes off, because he's eager to see the egg hatch/a pixelated kitten come out of a basket on his screen. He showers at night before reading, so he just gets up, checks himself out in the mirror, vrushing his teeth, and tries a couple poses with his jacket....he only stops when he senses Lucifer walking in the hallway, so goes to open his door just as Lucifer is about to walk by to try and get him to walk into it. Once the little squabble is settled, Satan turns back into his room to relax a bit before family breakfast. He takes care of his tamagotchi before hiding it in his jacket and heading downstairs. Satan believes breakfast is vital, so he always eats what he can and tries to be one of the first out of the house so he can find a few precious moments more for his digital pet.
Asmodeus
Hes the only one who showers twice, once in the morning, once in the evening. Asmodeus is a fucking disney princess...kind of, the birds outside his window wake him up and he chucks his actual alarm clock at the window bc they woke him up 2 minutes before the alarm. Hes a bit of a hot mess as he wakes up, but nothing a few masks, a hot shower, proper hair care, make up, a cute outfit and some confidence cant fix- because Asmo normally goes to bed early (around 10:30) (on nights hes not partying or smthn) he wakes up around 6:30 to get the ball rolling. He likes to make really foamy smiles as he brushes his teeth, being a little goofy in the morning feels healing. He checks his face for any visible lines or wrinkles, before uttering a positive affirmation about himself to the mirror and flashing another smile. He gets all undressed and has a shower- all his products match in scent and have very specific roles to play. Once out of the shower he stays in his towel on his head and his robe as he carefully plans his outfit and accessories, and then sits down to do his makeup at his vanity. He hums a lot, and sometimes has quiet classical music playing, though its always more cheerful than what Lucifer listens to. Asmo is all dressed and ready by the time Lucifer is walking by, so before Lucifer can knock, Asmo opens the door and begs him to take a picture of him in his outfit, which he normally gets upon giving the deadly puppy dog eyes so early in the morning. Asmo messes around on Devilgram until its time for breakfast, which he often makes himself because he caters it towards whatever diet he's trying, but its always a warm food. He cant stand a cold breakfast food. He'll often head out early to pick up a drink from Starbucks/the equivalent before heading to school.
Beel
If it werent for Belphies magic, Beel would always be tired bc of how much he wakes up at night and how early he gets up in the morning. He gets up around 5:00 to really just brush his teeth and throw some clean work out clothes on, and maybe do a few stretches. He also writes out any plans he has for fangol so he doesn't forget the approach he wants to take later. He has a towel and two water bottles he takes, on for water and one for a protein shake. He enjoys the quiet and the casual small talk he can make with his biggest brother while he gets ready to head out. He has a strict workout regiment he sticks to everyday, and comes back to the house around 7:30. He has enough time for a quick cold shower, then to make it back downstairs in time for breakfast. He won't leave for school unless he has a partner, be it Belphie or otherwise.
Belphie
Morning? Routine? This guy?!??!?! No, time is an illusion and morning is a dreaded time when hes physically dragged out of bed.
Diavolo
Oh he fucking hates waking up. Barb is his alarm clock though, so he begrudgingly gets out of bed on the fourth attempt to get him up. He rubs his fave to wake up enough to brush his teeth before taking a hot fucking shower that would boil anyone else alive. His clothes are set on the bed for him, but he tries to get away with as much sitting around in his towel as he can. Breakfast is sitting at a way too empty table and reading latest reports from nobles and Mephistopheles newsletter. Diavolo has a filling breakfast, because often times he forgets to eat if hes attempting to eat and work. After breakfast he does some planning with Barb.
Barbatos
This man straight up refuses to sleep. When he does, he freezes time to have a solid 16-27 hours of sleep bc goddamn hes exhausted. When he wakes up he takes his precious time, brushing his teeth, having a loooong hot shower, and then staying in his bathrobe and indulging in self care the way Asmodeus taught him. He stays in his bathrobe and face mask while he brews himself some non-caffienated tea. He reads a book as he drinks before getting dressed and doing his hair. He goes to his garden and tends to it a bit before washing his hands and brewing some more green tea and settling down to review Diavolos meetings and schedule.
Mephistopheles
Mephi writes best in the morning, so he's up bright and early around 5 o clock, and has showered, dressed, and brushed his teeth by 5:15. He does some morning stretches and meditation before settling down to write uninterrupted from about 6-7:30. Bc I like to project, he def takes care of his little brother, so at 7:30 on the dot he stops whatever he's doing to go make breakfast for him and his brother, who is just barely waking up and going into the bathroom. Food is on the table by 7:45, which always has a carb, protien, and a fruit. Meph would have coffee, but usually makes a smoothie so both he and his brother can enjoy it. On days his brother is awake early enough, they make the smoothies together. By 8:30 they are out the door so Meph can drop his brother off before going to school himself. (Hc his brother to be 8-10 ish)
Simeon
Similar to Meph, Simeon likes to do grammar and proofreading in the morning, so he's up around 6 to do 15 minutes of yoga before proofreading. Around 7, he does another half hour of yoga before knocking on Luke's door and asking if he wants to join him for a walk. Simeon makes food the night before, so when he comes home he has a cool shower and eats breakfast on the way to school.
Luke
Again, bc I like to project, Luke sets his alarm for 6, so he has time to play in the morning with his stuffies. When Simeon knocks on his door to see if he wants to go for a walk, he usually agrees and quickly gets his clothes on and teeth brushed. He takes showers at night, so as soon as they get home he also grabs one of whatever Simeon made the night before to eat for breakfast. On the way to school he texts Barb good morning, and tells Simeon everything he's looking forward to learning that day.
Raphael
He doesnt sleep well because of PTSD and flashbacks, so he's also awake early, around 4:30 and brushes his teeth. He does language study for an hour and a half, and when he hears Simeon wake up he heads to the courtyard to practice martial arts and sparring. At 7:30 he's back inside, has a QUICK like...2 minute cool shower, polishes his spear and brushes his teeth one more time before heading to the kitchen and meeting Solomon for whatever monstrosity breakfast may be. Thats about all his willing social interaction for the day, and eats on the way to school.
Solomon
He's almost as bad as Lucifer, but wakes up at some point after falling asleep at his desk to go get into bed. He has an alarm set for 6:30, and uses a spell to hide it somewhere in his room. That way when it goes off he has to physically get up and find it to turn it off. He hates it, but its what works best at least on weekdays. Weekends are different xbdjdjd. He has a long hot shower bc hes lonely and gets dressed. He always entertains the idea of stretching/meditating/etc but waves it off bc he can just magic peace of mind and joints that dont creak, right? Admittedly, if he's running late he skips the shower and just magics it ....sometimes he does it for a few weeks bc its just ...convenient. He heads to the kitchen to make breakfast and lunch for him and Raphael. Once Raph leaves Solomon sits by himself at the table and lets the existential dread of being lonely forever wash over him before shaking it off and teleporting to school just in time.
Thirteen
Bdjdbdksos shes the queen of multiple alarms, they are set for 6:30, 6:45, 6:50, 6:55 and it usually gets smashed if it gets to that point. Aka she just hits it repeatedly, she chucks it, she stomps on it, whatever. After huffily getting rid of the shrapnel, she goes straight to the bathroom her lionsmane of bedhead for a shower. I think she eats mints in the shower...like she pops one in her mouth before going in. She has a warm shower and usually only stays in as long as it takes her to wash her hair. Def sings in the shower. When she gets out she changes right away, keeps the towel around her shoulders and has a mini karaoke session with herself, the mirror and her hairbrush as she tames her hair best she can. Headbangs a couple times for that volume, if yknow you know. She puts her death metal playlist on and jams out/air guitars while she waits for her like....pizza pops or somethin to finish in the microwave. She usually has an energy drink with her breakfast, but some of the spirits that chill with her have been trying to push her to try hot chocolate bc they know she likes that too and its a little healthier. She heads out whenever she feels like it headphines blaring. Shes good friends with Madame Scream, and gets a free cookie or cakepop everyday from her on her way to school. Usually shows up early bc shes planning on rigging some sort of trap lmao. I THOUGHT I POSTED THIS????????????

chapter 5, page 60
first - previous - next
[image description: an sac webcomic page. the shelf crashes onto schmidt, pinning them. her mask is now fully formed, aside from the growing horns, showing the eye holes surrounded by branching tendrils that match the ones on her shoulder and hands. markings that are easier to view in the close up of her, glaring directly at the viewer, the highlights in her eyes now more like her tendril shapes rather than the wiggly lines they were before. with one hand on the counter, lewis quickly vaults over the shelf and person trapped under it, all that is seen of them is the sparking hand reaching up at him. jade worriedly grimaces downwards at schmidt, one hand on the doorframe she's facing, the one they just tried a few pages ago. end id]
so i didnt finish this page due to stomach pain on monday so it wasnt done tuesday, so i thought, okay, well, lets get it finished on wednesday after i take my bro out for a birthday movie.
and then i got back, took a 20 minute nap so id have a little energy to draw comics! and then i woke up 5-6 hours later, at 3am. 3 alarms slept through (despite being a light sleeper) and lights still on. the 5 hours sleep each day took its toll i suppose, so i went back to sleep, so heres the comic today!!!
speaking of waits for comics! its time for the annual fucking off period! also known as "taking a break" like i do in december, buts lets be honest, i will not be taking a break. like always i will just be working on other things because i cant just not draw for too long.
hopefully this means i will be working on a buffer, finally. i will for sure be working on making chapter 1 book ready! if im very lucky i will get that sorted and ready before next febuary (got a couple large cons there) but thats a very generous estimate and assuming self funded and not kickstarter, but i can do that with some savings if i only get a small amount of books because chapter 1 isnt long. wish me luck.
so yes, this is the last update until january unless i end up making a holiday drawing who knows.
until then, im also going to try and upload more art to my art blogs (@galaxia-art on tumblr and galaxiaprince on instagram) and speaking of socials, shameless self promotion for my etsy because if youre looking to buy something from outside the uk then the last days for doing that and getting it before christmas is the 4th-7th december (depending on country) (or the 18th if you're in the uk). if you dont care when it arrives then all's good whenever!
anyway, thank you all so much for reading my comic, and i hope you all have a great rest of the year!

03/01/24 - 03/03/24 💐
if i'm being honest, i'm still in such a huge funk but i really wanted to escape so i thought it might be the perfect time to go see the love of my life. i think the timing was honestly perfect because his birthday was on the first day that i arrived.
i left my house for the airport around 4:30am which wasn't that bad. i was so anxious that i was going to sleep through the time my flight would take off but i was thankfully sleeping very light so i didn't have to worry. i charged up my 3DS so i got to start re-playing majora's mask but i didn't play for very long. when i landed, my love actually passed me in passenger pick up and had to double back. i truly hate being picked up from any airport. after he picked me up, we had a very long talk for the drive. he hid his hair the entire time because he didnt have time for a haircut.
when i go to visit him, we have to drive from north carolina to south carolina as he lives very deep in the country. i didn't eat any sort of breakfast because we were supposed to go to eat as soon as i got down there but the drive was so long that he wanted to rest. we took a nap together for the first time in forever, i love sleeping next to him. he holds me so tight. it's perfect. after he got up from his nap, we went to get his haircut and GOD. we waited over an hour to be serviced. so damn annoying. it was loud as well. i met his cousin though and he introduced me as his wife,, AHHHH. it made me so happy. he actually asked me if it was alright when he introduced me as his wife. after we did that, we quickly drove to a sushi restrauant that he likes in town because we thought going to cracker barrel wouldnt be worth it because we were so hungry. i got this tempura based roll and god was it delicious. i really enjoyed eating sushi with him . . though, he got steak and rice. we briefly picked up a few items that i needed from walmart & went back to his house.
i got to truly meet his son in person which made me happy. he is such a cutie. he asked me to pick him up and take him to his room so we could watch tv . . when the loml followed us, he yelled that his father needed to get out and leave us alone. he spent the day calling me his girlfriend and played nintendogs with me and his dad. it was nice. his mom asked us to go get groceries so we decided to take a nap, but we overslept. i haven't been sleeping much and whew. i slept for twelve hours that first night. it was really needed because i was DRAINED. when i woke up around 3am, my lover and i watched a movie but eventually i fell back asleep.
the next morning, we decided to go to cracker barrel for breakfast as that's usually our spot when i go down there and our spot in new york city is this chain restrauant called BBQ's. that was the place where my parents and i enjoyed. we would always enjoy going because times square is always so beautiful. after the breakfast, we explored the mall. we went to barnes & nobles and a bunch of clothing stores including target where my bf got me some stuff. now for the best part, WE WENT TO BUCEES. I LOVE BUCEES. my husband got me some water because i was nauseous and bought myself + my friend some merchandise. i fucking love bucees. i couldn't find the plush slippers which sucked. but the stuff i got was still cute. we drove back to the house and saw all the children including his at his grandmas house. to which his son yelled "my daddys girlfriend" cute as hell. for dinner, we drove to wingstop. it was his first time and he thought it was decent. we are trying american deli next time.
on sunday, we decided to stay at home until it was time to go to the airport and everyone tempoarily left the house so yeah. i got to meet more of his family which was nice. i hate that i had to leave. i am already planning the next trip.

Wow, uh okay so there's a thing going on with Pewds...
He got an urine infection, and that's just an annoying thing for humans to have but its apparently deadly for cats if not treated fast. Like I'm talking 3-6 days of having it untreated can be fatal😖
I texted the vet on saturday night and told them what was going on and if it was normal or what I should do, they answered at 6am on saturday (cuz who sleeps anyways? Clearly not me)
They told me to call the emergency vet and tell them, I did and he called the only open vet in the area, AND then we had an appointment asap.
I called mom and she basically ran out the door (and told me she didnt even take time to put on a bra xD)
She came and picked me and Pewds up, let me just say that shes like almost 15mins away, but she got here f a s t
We arrive and I tell the vet that hes been struggling to pee for almost 2 days, hes hissing and growling (not to me or the other cats), hes drinking water and have been kinda meh on the food.
I changed the food cuz they all started to throw up by the food theyve had for 10years...
And I told him I havent been the best at changing the litterboxes, or emptying them...
And the cats are fucking champs, they will only go in the box, even if. But it's not a "wow my cats adapted to my depression, awesome" its fucking serious, if fucked up BAD.
Because, the food I started giving them gave Pewds more crystals, cuz cat food have that for some reason, and if you dont change out sand and poop scoop often, that can ALSO give them urine infection.
AND its "common" for elderly and sterile male cats to get the infection, so that's a thing to remember.
Is it my fault? Dont know, could I've prevented it? Possibly.
Am I gonna be fucking better? Absolutely!
Back to the status of Pewds
Tumblr media
After he stopped being all drugged up, he just looked genuinely pissed, which I get.
Tumblr media
Drinking water, trying to pee, sleeping A LOT and only when I pick him up and put him on my lap, he starts to seem like Pewds again🥺
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Headbuts, washing my face (trying not to remember hes constantly washing himself), purring and holding onto me in his sleep.
I've been inside the bathroom with him for hours, towel, a pillow and a blanket, and I've been up against a wall and Pewds on my lap or close to me as I've slept (and my neck and ass hurts like hell) hes peed on me, and I've let him cuz poor boi.
His wet food, given by the vet, that smells worse than any other I've smelled:
Tumblr media
Come sunday night, 3am.
I've googled and learned all I wrote on top, and I'm sobbing, having a full on panic attack, just holding him and breaks and try not to cry on him.
I call the emergency vet dude again, tell him it's me from Saturday morning, update him and let him know about Pewds current behaviour and if it's ok, is it normal?
I tried not to cry on the phone, but I basically thought he was declining cuz of me.
But!
Everything is as it should be, all hes doing is normal, sleeping more is fine, didnt eat ALL the wet food? As long as hes eating, hes fine.
Randoming peeing with a tiny but of red colouring? Normal and fine.
So I calmed down, and sat with Pewds until I went back out to sleep. Woke up 3 hours later, put him in the cage and sat it in the hallway and I cleaned the bathroom, since it stank of piss, now hes just sleeping and relaxing, he seems fine, and nothing is screaming danger.
Google have helped, I talked to a dude I have on xbox cuz hes had a cat that *died* cuz they didnt catch it in time. So I'm lucky, Pewds is lucky.
Now we're just waiting for tomorrow, Tuesday, to see what the vet says.
Updates this post then.
Here is a fresh pic of him now:

omg i literally wrote 34 pages about this boy in 3 nights about the 7 encounters we’ve had since we’ve met… i definitely underestimated 8H synastry 😭 mind you, we only met last week like WOAH and on the first night i stayed up writing until 3am about him and the next day he tells me that he was so tired because he didnt go to sleep until 3am on that same night like honestly my mind is blown like i really shoulda listened to the astro gworls see how i dont listen🤣
this shit is intense like he made eye contact with me for over 5 seconds and dropped his voice and said “yeah” and it felt like he was stripping me with his eyes, I HAD TO LOOK AWAY IT WAS TEW MUCH… he tryna seduce me yall🙄
he’s the Sun, im the 8H; rn, im noticing that the feeling of a “tension” is growing quicker everyday and everyday we feel more comfortable sharing more about ourselves. and we haven’t even gotten a chance to really even stand next to each other let alone have any physical contact (bc we’re at work lol), but our presence definitely affects one another. like ive heard him be loud around his friend (the only person he’s always around), but when i walk in the room, he gets quiet and im like “😵‍💫”
also, his friend will not stop bringing him up in our one-on-one convos like he’ll be like “im gonna tell ____ that you said that” and it’s like … I was not talking about him at all until you brought him up so ik he HAS TO BE TALKING about me to his friend and his friend is being so obvious about it haahaa

⋆⁺₊⋆ Chérie ⋆⁺₊⋆ Matt Murdock X Frank Castles sister
Summary: What happens when Mercedes Castle looses her brother and sister, all within a year? What happens when she tries to re-connect with Frank while, then, meeting an oh so familiar lawyer.
TW: DEATH, mentions of depression and suicide. Mentioned abuse, (if can get triggered by any of these subjects or subjects related. PLZ DO NOT READ. it is an ongoing theme.) Smut, but that will be later. ;) ;)
Wattpad Link for cast & playlist(s):
Tumblr media
Chapter One:
⋆⁺₊⋆ Chérie ⋆⁺₊⋆
"They say this house is haunted 
But all these ghosts I've grown with
As it slips away from me
I still hold on hopelessly
I lay my head to sleep and say goodnight" 
- Holly Humberstone
Playlist Recommended for reading:
Oct 21st 3am
MERCEDES CASTLE WASN'T A BAD PERSON. She just wished she saw the world through rose pink tinted glasses.
It would have been nice if Mercedes thought that everyone was innocent until proven guilty. Rather than seeing innocence, she saw guilt until proven innocent.
It was a harsh way to see life, but god did give her charcoal gray tinted glasses. It wasn't her fault. Lord, did she want to take them off for one day. For one day, she hoped she would rip the glasses off and see people for the good they truly had inside.
Though sometimes god would let Mercedes take those glasses off, and when she did oh lord, did she see good. Christ, was she attracted to it.
When she saw goodness, grace, and hope— she wanted to bottle it up in a jar, put it on a shelf, and just take a look at it every day just to remind herself that it still existed.
As Mercedes drove her knuckles into the punching bag, she wondered what truly kept the world spinning.
Was it love? love was something that kept her afloat. Maybe some people, but love to Mercedes was like happiness. She didn't have it all the time.
If love didn't keep the world spinning, what was?
Well, it was grace.
As Mercedes watched her world move positively and negatively, she realized how grace affected it.
Grace and her's relationship was complicated because— grace kept Frank out of jail. But grace also forgave Billy when he murdered her sister.
Grace was there when god gave Yanelis a second chance at being happy, but grace wasn't there when Yanelis couldn't protect herself from hate.
Grace was there when Yanelis and frank were in the front lines, but, grace wasn't there for Maria, Lisa, and Frank Jr.
Good or bad, grace kept the world spinning.
Well, at least her world.
It was funny because being a detective she saw grace being tossed around to everybody. She saw it being given to murderers, adulterers, predators, the list goes on— Until it was needed, Grace was given to everyone.
Grace didn't go to her sister when she died a year ago.
Grace didn't go to her sister-in-law and nephews.
As Mercedes drives her foot into the scarlet plastic-covered bag, "Mama" by My Chemical romance plays in the background.
Silently, she whispered the lyrics to herself.
"Mama we all go to hell"
if Yanelis were alive, this wouldn't be happening. Instead, her and Mercedes would be binge-watching "Gilmore Girls" for the billionth time. Then after watching five or six episodes, Yanelis would play an old murder documentary and have Mercedes pinpoint everything wrong that was done, and why they didn't catch the murderer the night after. But instead, Yanelis was gone, and she was in an abandoned gym driving her knuckles into a plastic bag.
Frank didnt care. Maybe if he bothered he could be there with her— but, hell he was dealing with his problems. Frank didnt even show up to Yanelis Funeral. Instead, he showed up a week later at her tomb... what a guy right?
Frank was gone, murdering drug dealers off in hells kitchen and Yanelis was— Yaenlis was six feet under.
And then, Mercedes was just there.
This wasn't how their lives as siblings was supposed to go.
This wasn't the plan.
As Mercedes sweat falls down the curve of her forehead, the faint scent of lavender shampoo fades and its overcomes by the harsh scent of water, salt and blood— which fills the room entirely.
In a crime scene, its not really ideal to leave your blood on the premises, so she usually cleans equipment. hence, why a certain man has never noticed.
Crime had been low in Hells Kitchen. there was no need for a Daredevil, or a punisher. Now, the police were actually taking care of it. Sometimes Daredevil would be seen in alleyways but that was only if something truly needed to be taken care of.
Now, Daredevil spent his nights in fogwells, and his days in a law office.
The problem with Matt coming to Fogwells tonight was that rock music was played by millions of people at three o'clock in the morning, so her doing so wasn't something new.
As Matt placed his hands on the rusted doorknob, he listened for her heartbeat. 
He heard the golden cross that was hung around her neck, bounce off her chest as she drove every punch and kick to the bag.
As he unlocked the door, he heard the muscles in her neck shift towards his direction.
A guy, great.
Matt didn't carry a cane, but by the time he entered the complex, he had already folded it. By the time he was up the stairs, the glasses that hung on the tip of his nose were in his duffle bag.
With the one glance she got, Mercedes noted:
Male: white, five-eleven athletic build- seen at fogwells gym at three o'clock in the morning.
Under the shadows she could tell this wasnt his first time here. Or, first time doing this.
As Matt sat down the duffle bag on a bench, he noted where he assumed the light was coming from. Though, three wasn't much light because it had been raining. So the light that radiated through the glass was more of a moonlight. He wouldn't want her to see his eyes, so he stayed within the shadows.
With another glance at Matt, Mercedes saw the silver cross that hung in the middle of his chest, the black tank top that gripped his torso, and the gray sweatpants that hung loosely down his legs. Though, as she looked down, she saw how his socks were carefully tucked into his pants.
As he walked closer towards Mercedes, the scent of fish and foil increased tremendously.
Though, with blood along her knuckles, she kept in contact with the bag.
"You're bleeding, aren't you?" Asked the man.
She looked back at him, and noted the bruises that nearly wrapped around his forearms.
Her eyes went back on the bag, and ignored him.
"You should probably stop."
His voice was raspy, something as if he had been yelling for too long... or maybe he hadn't spoken in a while. 
she continued punching.
In a low tone, he said, "This is probably the best time to stop."
Matt heard her heartbeat calm, and her knuckles slowly retract from the bag.
As she paused, she stretched out her fingers and noticed the tissue that hung out of her knuckles, the tape that used to be wrapped around her knuckles was now only hanging on by a thread. as cold air slowly entered in her flesh, she silently cursed at herself.
she bit her lip as the pain registered in her brain, and then walked over to the phone, she squatted down and paused the music.
As she remained squatted, she looked over to where the man was and said, "Thanks."
she hoped he at least gave a slight grin, but from where he stood, she could only see his silhouette.
As she remained on the floor, she grabbed some leftover black tape and began wrapping her knuckles.
Matt heard her silently say, "fuck" as she wrapped her knuckles.
"Sorry, I knew that probably other people came here, I just... lost track of time... place is all yours."
As she tightened the tape around her knuckles, she said to the shadow:
"I'm Camilla" Usually when someone provided their name to a stranger, it made the other one feel comfortable around the other one.
Though, her electric heartbeat gave away her lie.
He nodded, and said, "Matthew."
Mercedes pressed her lips into a fine line and mumbled; "...Biblical"
"Yea well, I just dont go to church on easter, if thats what your insinuating."
She paused as she registered the tone of his voice. She noted how it reminded her of someone who she had heard of before. maybe at work?
"Never insinuated anything. Just noted that you could be named after a bible character. Just like how how you could have insinuated that i'm named after Prince Charles's mistress... just an observation.. nothing to be taken seriosly."
She continued to wrap the tape between her fingers.
"Were you?" asked Matt.
"Was I?"
"Named after Camilla?"
She took in a deep breath, her mind then traced for a story as to why her parents named her 'Camilla'.
"My dad had just broken the news to my mom that he had gotten another women pregnant... she didn't take he news very well, but she had my sister and she wanted my sister to have that experience of meeting her baby sister. So, when my mom and sister got to the hospital, my dads mistress asked my sister what her baby sisters name should be. after waiting a couple minutes, my sister couldn't think of anything that wasn't related to elmo, so my step mom said to my sister, 'why not Camilla?'. My sister liked the idea, but she just didn't know the meaning."
Matt heard her heartbeat escalate as every word flew out of her mouth.
Boy did she know how to lie.
"The meaning?" asked Matt as he began to walk over to the ring.
"Well, I broke the family. Just like Camilla."
He noticed her hadn't buzz as she finished tying the tape around her fingers.
"are, if you mind me asking— are you okay?"
Her eyes deviated from the tape at the thought of the question.
her eyes went back to the tape as she continued to wrap it, she replied; "I'm not a fan of lying."
"Me neither."
a moment passed as Mercedes contiuned to wrap her knuckles, slowly the aroma blood and sweat escaped, and the scent of salty tears entered....
The trim of her lash line clumped up her tears as the man said, "You dont have to answer."
from the showdown, she saw his knuckles. They were too also painted with blood.
His neck, which was bare from any bruise, had a stubble creeping from the mid of his neck, the up his jaw.
though his jaw was loose, it was— relaxed.
she read his lips.
Calm, but not bored.
She couldnt see his eyes, but from what she felt, she knew they were calm.
no pain circled them, and no creases were formed.
"You caught me on an off day."
Matt heard the tear drip down her cheek as he said, "if you come here, you probably have more of 'off months'"
the tips of her mouth curled as she thought: Its not like he's wrong.
as she went down on her knees, she unzipped her tote and took out a white cloth.
from the scent of the towel, Matt knew that the cloth had seen better days.
"it's been an 'off year'." She said as she began to wipe the bag.
"I'm listening." 
she continued to wipe the bag, now noticing the amount of blood she shed in the time that she was there.
No wonder you're feeling dizzy
"Family... um, problems."
she contiuned to wipe down the bag and said, "...sister died about a year ago."
"I'm sorry." said Matt as his nose twitched at response to inhaling the scent of the room.
There was no indication that she was there, or had ever been there.
she wiped it perfectly, not a single implication that she was there.
No blood had dripped on the wooden floors, not even a drop of sweat.
All her sweat and blood stuck to her sports bra, which was made out of some material that rubbed against her skin so hard that now rashes were being formed on the sides of her back. those rashes made he muscles tense, but she'd been used to it.
"Since we're getting all 'forgive me father for I have sinned'.. Ikilled her. well," she paused and said, "I was the reason why she died."
he listened for her heartbeat.
a lie.
He heard her fingers tug the material of her short down, now they were covering a bruise she got from the bag.
"Couldnt get to her on time."
"your a nurse?" he asked.
"No, um,  ex military, detective and psychologist sort of three in one deal" 
He nodded as he crossed his arms around his abdomen and Mercedes said, "he wasnt treating her... right and I kept my mouth shut because-"
she thought about it: if that didn't say red flag, she didn't know what did.
"My sister um.. she had depression, an and i only saw her truly happy when she was with him. so, i—"
her eyes defocused, and soon her eyes were being covered by the palms of her hands.
In agony she continued saying, "didn't say anything" her voice was muffled. "then, he killed her."
she paused for a second, now her eyes were not aligned by tears but filled with them.
though her voice being covered by the palms of her hands, she said, "when you study to be a detective you're taught to not let your emotions get in the way of your judgement but i— i only saw my sister being happy so i didn't say anything.. and now, now, my sister—" she sighed, "she died because I didn't say anything."
his mind traced back to a year in time when he was crashing into a girl's apartment because he heard screams, but when he got there, that girl was dead.
Both of them didn't make it in time.
From experience after experience, Matt silently said to her, "dont kill yourself in attempt to bring her back to life."
"I killed her." she tugged at her lip and said, "for one year I've only heard one thing, 'Agent Ante, your sister has been murdered by one Billy Russo.'"
As she tried to continue, her voice became strained, "He killed her, and he's still out there— christ, he got innocent in the fucking courtroom!"
Tears overwhelmed her eyes as they began to fall down her cheeks.
"I couldn't save her." she said, "I. Killed.Her."
Her head shook, making the the curls that framed her face fly in different directions.
sweat fell from the strands and they dissolved in the air as she then said, "this is stupid, i'm talking to a stranger about my problems. sorry— I should be going."
"No." he said. He spoke softly, clamly, and steadily. "You put more tape on your knuckles, right?"
With hesitation, she responded. "...yea"
He replied, "well?"
As she wiped the tears away from her face, she said, "how do I know your not going to kill me?"
He bobbed his head from side to side and said, "Don't kill."
"Bullshit. How do I know that."
"The name, the cross--"
"Just because you have a cross around your neck doesn't mean I'm going to trust you. How can I trust you?" She walked over to the ring and slipped herself through the bands.
"Don't I look trustworthy?'" asked Matt as he did the same.
"Maybe." said Mercedes. As they both got into first position, "But, I can't judge because i haven't even seen you yet, because your doing some batman shit—" she swung at his jaw with her foot and said, "and standing in the shadows."
He laughed as they landed in opposite directions of the ring. However, he still stood in the shadow.
Fe felt the blood trickle in his jaw as she came back at him with quite a few more punches.
He slowly fought back. he noticed she was trained for combat.
He assumed by the way she fought, she wasn't just fighting to let steam out. she was there to train, or to maintain.
He noticed the way her legs hit his torso that they were not just muscular but built for one on one combat.
When her arms hit his chest, they were used to holding weapons, they were meant to kill, meant to hurt.
but then, she realized that when he maneuvered between his moves that he was trained as something other than for self-protection.
more like self preservation.
his body was trained to defy gravity, to slice, to torture in the most unexpected way. he fought almost as if a string were being attached from his head, though he was the one pulling it.
In the midst of slashing against one another, he pinned her down. He listened for her heartbeat but it was overcome by loud her breathing was. . 
"You okay?" he asked. He slipped his hand around her waist, wrapped his arm around her troat, and pulled herself close to him.
"Never better," she said as she wrapped her hands around his head and slammed him down to the opposite side of the ring.
By the time his senses picked up her location, she was already on top of his torso, laying all her body weight on him, along with both of her hands pressed against his throat.
she visibly saw him lose air, concentration, sense.
She nodded his jaw tense, the sweat trip from his temples.
his forearms, now tense and fixated on her next move but, she let go, legs between each side of his shoulder, she stood up, and put her hand in front of him, "game?"
his body relaxed, his eyes now focused, his breath suddenly now on tempo.
He grabbed her hand but then kick her feet to which she was now on the ground and he was in the same position he was.
With a smirk and a buzz fro her heartbeat, he replied; "game." 
It was in that moment where Mercedes realized that the guy whom she fought was daredevil.
