History (Young! Coriolanus Snow x Reader)
Tumblr media
Description: Maybe you should’ve taken the risk. Perhaps things would’ve been different….
You and Coriolanus have been friends since the age of six. There was a moment between you two that she couldn’t forget. It was after the war when Y/n spotted young Coriolanus walking around the Capitol, presumably searching for food. Being the kind soul she was, Y/n took a piece of bread from her basket and offered it to him. Despite Coriolanus's initial stubbornness, he eventually accepted the bread, forever thankful.
From that moment, both Coriolanus and Y/n knew they would become great friends, or perhaps something more. It wasn't until they became adults, in their last year at the academy, that Coriolanus faced a crucial day. Winning the plinth prize was his only chance to save his family from starvation and secure a worry-free university education.
Y/n, aware of Coriolanus's home situation, always told him to come to her if he needed anything. However, he, driven by guilt and a high ego, consistently refused her help. When the day of the plinth prize announcement arrived, Dr. Gaul changed the rules, making each of the 24 students a mentor and allocating them to a tribute.
Y/n, the saint she is, panicked when she got the young girl named Wovey, knowing the girl didn’t stand a chance, breaking her heart. It wasn’t until Coriolanus softly grasped her hand and reassured her that everything would be fine. As time passed, Coriolanus still didn’t have a tribute. He knew High Bottom purposely gave him a girl from District 12, Lucygray, to secure his downfall. An interesting tribute, Y/n admitted, especially the moment the girl started singing and swearing on live television.
Y/n looked at Coriolanus as the scene played out. He had a stern look, and what she assumed was admiration, a look she had never seen him have—at least not directed towards her. From that moment, Y/n knew Lucygray would be the downfall of her and that Coriolanus could have been.
———————————————————————————
“Coriolanus do you love her? Do you love lucygray?” Y/n whispered to him. It was mid way during the hunger games.
Coriolanus looked guiltily at Y/n, unable to meet her gaze. "I... I have feelings for her," he muttered faintly, without even looking at her. Y/n had noticed Coriolanus's unusual behavior — his inability to sleep, his loss of appetite, and his lack of social interaction. She couldn't figure out what had changed, but now, she knows the answer. Coriolanus felt an unexpected affection toward LucyGray. He was deeply ashamed of it, but he couldn't deny it. He looked at Y/n painfully, yet with determination.
"I'm sorry," he said, his voice breaking with emotion. "I don't know when it started... I have no idea how to explain it. All I know is this: I love Lucy, and I want to win the Games for her." Y/n was stunned. She had known that Coriolanus felt something for the District 12 tribute, but she didn't expect him to put his feelings into words so soon. It was as if he had forgotten about her completely, as if he no longer cared about their shared time together. Her heart ached with pain.
"Y/n..." He looked stared at you. "Lucy... my Lucy... deserves happiness. She deserves to know what love is. She deserves a shot at a future. And I will give it to her. But that doesn't mean I haven't felt things for you. It's just... You... you and me... it's not as simple."
“I understand,” was all you replied. He had always been honest about his feelings, but it was not the answer you were expecting. You were hurt to find you had been reduced to ‘too complicated’ when you thought of him as the perfect complement. But you knew you could never be that simple, with all your duties and expectations. As much as it pained you, you could understand why he had chosen another girl. He would never have to worry about her, to question her motives or her honesty. She would be loyal and good, with no strings attached.
“Is it easier with her?” You questioned him. You were confused and doubtful. How could being an outsider from the Capitol be easy? You refused to believe him.
“Yes,” he was honest with you. No reason to hide the truth. “She’s... simpler than you. Easier to understand. She’s honest and good and pure. But our path in the Games is not that simple. And you... You’re complicated too. I’m aware of our status. I know I’m bound by duty while you’re… free in comparison.” He spoke pushing a piece of fallen hair.
Y/n stepped back, keeping a short distance between herself and Coriolanus as her heart shattered to pieces. She couldn't believe the man she loved... the man she had spent years thinking also felt the same way for her had betrayed her like this. She was lost for words and the only thing which came out of her was an uneasy breath and tears flowing down her angelic face.
"So everything was a lie, Coriolanus?" Y/n whispered, her voice shaky and broken. "Everything we admitted to each other throughout the years was a humorous joke to you?".
Coriolanus stood there, strong and proud even though the words he was speaking were breaking her heart. He said without shame, without hesitation, "Yes."
Seeing the heartbreak on her face, he softened his tone and spoke as gently as he could despite the situation. "I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry. I do care for you... it's just..."
He searched for words, and then stopped. His jaw clenched... there was nothing he could say. So he just stood there, trying really hard not to look away as her tears poured.
Y/n felt her heart break into pieces when she heard Coriolanus speak those words. She had no idea that her feelings for him were not reciprocated all this time. Coriolanus had been honest with her, but at what cost? She felt betrayed and hurt beyond measure, and the only thing she could do was let out a painful cry. Y/n could not believe that her and Coriolanus's relationship was now over. She felt like a piece of her heart was missing and she didn't know how she would ever recover from this heartache.
———————————————————————————
As y/n lay curled up on the forest floor, she took a deep breath, taking in the tranquil atmosphere. Coriolanus's arm was wrapped around her, his breath gentle and slow against her cheek. They had found refuge from their busy schedule under this old tree, and for now, nothing else mattered to them but each other. The day's worries melted away, the stress of work and deadlines no more than a distant memory.
"What do you see in your future?" Coriolanus asked casually, brushing her hair away from her face as he looked down at her.
"Huh? Oh...my future..." y/n mused, blinking slowly. She thought for a moment, her mind wandering back to the dreams and ambitions she held when she was younger. But something changed as she grew older, and she started to feel as if those fantasies were becoming increasingly unrealistic, to the point where she no longer believed them possible. "I'm not sure anymore."
"Why not?" Coriolanus pressed, shifting so her head was now nestled on his lap. The gentle rustling of the leaves in the trees above seemed to drown out their conversation, providing them with a sense of seclusion.
"I used to dream about becoming a scientist. Or becoming a journalist. But after a while, I began to realize that the odds of that happening were next to zero. So, I settled with less..." y/n trailed off, feeling her voice waver slightly.
Coriolanus reached up to stroke her cheek, the sound of his own voice now soft and subdued. "Maybe you're not giving yourself enough credit, y/n. You're smart and capable; you can do anything you set your mind to."
"Maybe..." y/n mumbled, leaning into Coriolanus's touch. But her uncertainty remained, her voice a whisper as she spoke. Even her best friend, the boy who had supported her throughout all her life's ups and downs, believed in her more than she believed in herself.
Coriolanus seemed to notice a hint of sadness in y/n's voice and his gaze met hers, his expression one of concern. Y/n tried to hide it, but was it really that easy for people to see through her defenses?
Coriolanus studied y/n closely, his hand moving up to her cheek and gently turning her face so that their eyes met. Y/n's heart skipped a beat as she felt the warmth of his touch and her gaze quickly flitted away. After everything they'd been through, she should have been used to these moments where he looked at her with such tenderness, but it still made her cheeks flush and her blood run cold. She wondered whether he was thinking the same thing as her...and if maybe this moment was about to become something more...
Y/n felt the weight of the world melt away as Coriolanus leaned in and brushed his lips against hers, so gently and sweetly that it felt more like a whisper than a kiss. Her eyes remained shut, her heart pounding in her ears as she savored the sensations of Coriolanus's arms around her and their bodies pressed against each other, a perfect moment of intimacy. Y/n parted her lips slightly, and Coriolanus's kiss deepened as he wrapped his arms around her. The warmth in her stomach grew, her breaths coming in rapid gasps.
Y/n felt a jolt of electricity run through her body as her heart pounded harder in her chest. She had always known these feelings existed, but now they were suddenly given life as Coriolanus pressed himself closer to her, his hands brushing her hair away from her face and his breath catching in his throat. Y/n tried to hold back, but the kiss was so overwhelming that she let out a tiny whimper of surrender, her hands clutching at his shirt as their embrace became deeper and more meaningful.
Coriolanus was the first to pull away, his chest heaving as he lifted his head and stared down at her. Y/n couldn't breathe, her body still trembling from the sensations of the kiss.
"Y/n..." Coriolanus murmured, his fingers slowly brushing aside the dark locks that framed her face. His eyes were fixed on her lips as he studied her face closely, trying to determine whether she truly was as affected by their kiss as he was.
Y/n swallowed hard, unable to tear her eyes away from Coriolanus's face. How could their friendship ever be the same after a kiss like that? Yet, as she looked at him, she felt as if they were the only two people in the entire world, and that nothing else besides their feelings mattered at all.
She wanted to say something, ANYTHING to break the silence, but her thoughts were too clouded by the emotions coursing through her body, still reeling from the intensity of their kiss and every touch of his fingers on her skin.
Maybe if she broke the silence, maybe, just maybe things would’ve been different….

I do apologize for asking for so many Hermits last time- you are allowed to do as many Hermits as you want <3
Much love and always take care of yourself! <3 -☁️ anon
Hiii cloudy!! And hello to everyone else aswell!! I'm actually back this time I swear- I do apologize for not following the uploading schedule I promised, I just didn't feel motivated enough to write anything but now I do!
So have some Valentines HCs! <3
Valentines with the Hermits HCs
𝓜𝓾𝓵𝓽𝓲𝓹𝓵𝓮 𝓗𝓮𝓻𝓶𝓲𝓽𝓼 (𝓢𝓮𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓭) 𝔁 𝓖𝓝!𝓡𝓮𝓪𝓡𝓮𝓪𝓭𝓮𝓻
------------------------------------------------------
This oneshot contains: A bunch of corny stuff, fluff, kissing, slight suggestiveness (?), cuddling, fluff and overall just some wholesomeness <3
------------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
GoodTimesWithScar
- With Scar, he either tends to forget about Valentines or he does remember Valentines
- This year, he remembered. By the time you were awake, you bet he made you your favorite breakfast. He had woken up a few hours before you did just to do that for you for Valentines, not that he doesn't sometimes do that on regular days aswell
- Scar's the type of guy to prefer more simple stuff, he wouldn't go all out on Valentines but he would still do his best to make it special.
- He'd get you your favorite chocolates and just a simple Valentines card he made for you, the card had a very sweet paragraph that explained how much Scar loved you
- If you wanted to go out on a date, Scar would surprise you with a simple yet cute picnic date on a spot he figured you liked. He had also picked up some flowers to give to you, the flowers just so happened to be your favorites aswell!
- If you wanted to just stay at home, Scar wouldn't mind at all. He'd still get you flowers though, he couldn't just not get you anything for Valentines. For the rest of the day, you two just mostly spent time together in bed cuddling.
Docm77
- When I say this man will spoil you, he will go ALL out.
- You would wake up to a whole feast of all the different foods you like, it was practically enough to be considered as three meals.
- He'd definitely also have made a whole build just for you, most likely a huge build of a teddy bear that held a heart that had the words: "I love you!"
- You think that's all Doc got you? Oh hell no. He got you a whole bouquet of flowers, your favorite chocolates, a small version of the teddy bear he made but it's actually a stuffed teddy bear and much more.
- This man takes Valentines as an excuse to spoil you even more than he usually does, but he still makes sure tone it down a bit if you tell him it's too much already
- If you were fine with going out on a date outside, you bet Doc would bring you to a place you've always wanted to go to or would you bring you to a fancy restaurant
- If you just wanted to stay at home, Doc would try to persuade you first but would soon give up as he respected your decision. That didn't mean though that he wasn't going to still try his best to spoil you, but at the end of the day you both just cuddled together in bed after a long day of Doc spoiling you <3
Rendog
- Ren would be a mix of both Scar and Doc honestly, he'd try his best to make Valentines both extravagant while still trying to make it simple enough to your liking
- Just like Scar, Ren would wake up earlier to make you your favorite food for breakfast. He'd try to make a cute little design with the food, but would fail a bit but it's not like you minded.
- Like Doc, Ren would also spoil you with gifts such as, your favorite flowers, favorite chocolates, a stuffed animal that just so happened to be your favorite animal and a lot more things
- Ren wouldn't mind at all whether or not you wanted to go out or just stay at home, he respects your decisions.
- If you wanted to go out, Ren would be all for it. He'd take you out on a nice dinner date at a place where it just has the most wonderful view. And of course, the food was but your favorite.
- If you wanted to just stay at home, Ren would be fine with that too! He'd happily bring you to you two's shared bed and cuddle you the whole time, he would also definitely be all up for just a simple conversation. He loves you and will always respect what you want <3
Bdubs
- This man will not let you get out of bed, like at ALL.
- As soon as you woke up and tried to stand up, Bdubs was there to stop you by pouncing onto you with his full body. You may or may not have hit your head as this happened, which Bdubs apologized profusely for and made it up with kisses
- After that happened, he still would not let you get up. He was not going to budge, not even if you give him puppy eyes or try to persuade him with.. Ways...
- You wanna eat? Bdubs will bring a bed tray with your favorite food, it also had some of your favorite flowers in a vase as it was one of Bdubs' gifts for you today.
- You wanna go out? Too bad, Bdubs will stay laying ontop of you so that you can't move. You don't exactly have a choice since Bdubs was ontop of you, so you just had to give in.
- You wanna have a date? Consider a bed date that's filled with cuddling and kisses, probably some other things aswell but we'll not get on that subject yet
- Where's your gifts? Don't worry, Bdubs would hand you all the gifts he got for you for Valentines. It consisted a bunch of your favorite stuff, he even went out of his way to learn how to create an origami version of your favorite animal!
- You two ended the day with cuddling of course, it's just a necessary to do every night!
Grian
- Grian doesn't try to go too eccentric on Valentines, but you bet he's not going to stop his mischievous nature.
- You two would be doing something sweet as making Valentines cookies, which would end up getting a bunch of flour on the kitchen and on both you and Grian. Both of you would be giggling your butts off as an accidental flour spill on Grian turned into a whole flour war, it looked liked winter in the Kitchen afterwards. You both agreed to just leave it for tomorrow as you both continued on with Valentines!
- Grian probably would prefer to just stay at home, but he wouldn't mind taking you out on a cute date. Maybe a stroll around the server, holding hands and happily talking while the other listens
- Meanwhile if you didn't mind also staying at home, then you bet you both would be playing with Maui and Pearl. You two would be sitting down on the ground as both cats got equal attention from the both of you, both you and Grian definitely would end up having to chase after the cats soon enough
- If you wanted to just sit down and chat with Grian, he'd be good with that! He'd willingly listen to you talk with admiration in his eyes, he just loves you so much ahhsbshdhb
- By the end of the day, Grian would have his wings wrapped around you while you two cuddled on the couch with both Maui and Pearl on both of your guys' laps. Just a sweet wholesome moment <3
Xisuma
- While yes, Xisuma does remember about Valentines. He struggles to find enough time to spend time with you on this day of love, he would feel so bad because he couldn't spend all that much time with you. He would apologize profusely everytime he would have to get pulled into something important, you of course would re-assure him to calm him down.
- Xisuma would always be trying to make it quick so that he can spend time with you, he would also make sure to grab you some gifts when he just so happens to pass by a store that had some things you liked
- Once Xisuma finally had the chance to spend time with you, he would rush home as fast as he could. He would be at the door with him panting like crazy as he ran as fast as he could back home, he could've flown back home with his elytra but he kind of forgot about that..
- After catching his breath, he'd give you the gifts he got for you looking slightly bashful. You were surprised to say the least, but you weren't ungrateful. Xisuma was definitely getting some sweet kisses, and a lot of them.
- If you told Xisuma you wanted to go out on a date, he'd bring you out to a slightly high hill and would sit down with you to watch the sunset. After, you both would then stargaze in peace, chatting from time to time as you both started up at the sky. Xisuma would definitely start naming different stars off of you, even using some of your nicknames just to be a bit funny
- If you wanted to stay in though, Xisuma was fine with that! You both would do some sweet yet simple couple stuff like learning how to do different things, Xisuma would definitely try to teach you how to play the guitar.
- And of course, ending the day with cuddles and sweet kisses in bed. Xisuma would have his armour off so that you could actually feel the warmth from his body and just actually feel his touch from his skin, overall it was just a sweet and simple day <3
------------------------------------------------------
You reached the end, congrats! :D

Calling Them After You have A Bad Dream Of Them Part One: Shigaraki
Notes: tbh I just saw this idea sitting in my drafts yesterday and suddenly felt motivated to write it between classes so here's a cute lil drabble. send me an ask for any other characters you would want this idea with
Warnings: mentions of nightmares/bad dreams, mentions of kidnapping (very lightly, he thought sm bad happened to you), reader calls Tomura Tomu because I think it's cute and was going for a cutesy reader vibe
Characters involved: Shigaraki Tomura
Gender-neutral reader, you/yours
Your hand shook around the cold metal of your phone even as you pressed it against your ear.
Long rings echoed from the device, with each sound making a new wave of anxiety surge through your abdomen.
He was fine. You knew that. You had just gotten off of the phone with Tomura a couple hours back and he made it clear he wasn't harmed during their fight against the heroes.
He was safe, just like the rest of the liberation was.
But that dream.
The mere thought of your dream was enough to make shivers wrack your body as you crawled further under your blanket.
The warmth of the soft material helped remotely calm your racing heart but it did nothing to quell the fear consuming you.
You wanted him. You needed him.
You needed to feel Tomura's arms wrap around your form as you buried your nose in his long hair. You needed to have him by your side so you could forget.
Forget about all the blood and decay, forget about the fire and the dust that made you double over in a coughing fit as you watched the heroes take your love away from you. Forget about the screams, about the way blood matted his skin as he screamed for you to-
"Hello?"
The sound of his voice made you jerk up in surprise but you found yourself scrambling to reach your phone a moment later.
"Tomu? Hi! Uh- I-"
You trailed off then, taking in the sound of fabric ruffling on his side of the phone as he no doubt moved around in bed to find the blaring red alarm clock on his bedside.
"It's two am, baby, why are you still up?"
A long yawn followed his question, the sound causing your heart to clench in guilt.
You woke him up. He had spent the entire week restlessly fighting off the heroes and barely had time to blink much less sleep. He was exhausted, and had collapsed almost as soon as the liberation escaped the battleground.
And you were stupid enough to wake him up when he was too tired to even move.
You were stupid. So stupid. You were a problem, a liability. You were useless.
Just like in the dream. You couldn't save him, you couldn't help him, you would just trouble him and be the reason for his demise.
You didn't realise tears were streaming down your face until it was too late and a sob escaped your lips.
You wished Tomura was sleep deprived enough to not hear the sound, but the sharp sounds of fabric from the other side of the phone told you otherwise.
"Baby? What- are you okay? What's going on? Fuck, I knew I should have kept you here with me! Those wretched heroes-"
"Tomu, I'm fine."
You had to raise your voice to make him actually listen to you, but you somehow managed to subdue his panicked rambles.
"Where are you?"
"Home."
Another rustle of fabric, but this time you could hear him moving out of bed.
"I'll be there soon."
"But Tomu-"
He cut the call before you could finish, forcing you to once again curl up on your bed with an annoyed sigh.
By the time you awoke, his fingers were already carding through your hair.
The sudden feeling made you jolt up in alarm but you were quick to return to his embrace the second your eyes took in Tomura's familiar form.
His clothes were a mess and his hair riddled with tangles. Blood stained the sides of his neck and bits of his skin peeking out from under his black sweater and pants. And you weren't certain, but you could almost swear you saw a bruise or two blossoming across his arms.
Tomura was injured and imperfect. But he was here. He was safe.
And he was looking at you like he wanted to murder someone.
"Who hurt you?"
"What? No one, Tomu, it's not like that."
His eyebrows furrowed at your words, but he thankfully chose not to say anything as you sat up and shifted to loosely wrap your arms around him.
"I- well, I had a nightmare. A bad one. It was about you and-"
You sucked in a sharp breath, but even that wasn't enough to help you voice your nightmares. So you didn't.
"I was just scared, I'm sorry I woke you up."
Tomura remained quiet even as you huddled closer to his chest. His fingers continued untangling your hair, never stopping even when he let out a painfully strained chuckle.
"You made me run halfway across a city for a nightmare?"
"I didn't mean to! I told you not to come I-"
His hand moved to hold your chin even as you spoke, with his fingers squishing your cheeks to cut off anything you could say.
"Don't care. You can repay me with breakfast in the morning."
His hands dropped from your face then, instead shifting to your waist as he pulled the two of you under the blankets.
The room descended into a comfortable silence broken by the periodic scratches of his nails carding through your hair and the soft rustles of fabric.
Normally, the silence would have made you stare owlishly at your ceiling as your brain flooded with thoughts of your dreams.
But not now. Not when you were surrounded by his warm presence ready to turn all your nightmares to dust.
With him, you were safe. You were untouchable.
You had found your sanctuary in the arms of a villain. But you were fine with that.
"Love you, Tomu."
He let out a soft hum against the crown of your head, with his lips parting to echo your words a moment later.

-Save me from her - chapter 6
Tumblr media
Tara Carpenter x fem!reader
Summary: Madness, feelings and blood.
a/n: I feel like I'm making this a habbit, but sorry for making you wait for this long again. I don't know why, but there isn't much time when I feel motivated enough to write. I'm trying to make a schedule for myself right now to improve on my time management, so maybe that'll help?
warnings: amateur writing, blood, graphic descriptions of murder, awkward conversation, swearing, canon-typical violance, multiple POV's, mixed POV's, insanity, going mad, ANGST
Everything seemed futile. There was no light at the end of the tunnel and even if there would've been (which again; there was none), there was no hope to get there. On knees, which barely even responded to commands anymore. No hope for healing. Yet she crawled onwards.
Why was she crawling again? She didn't know. She couldn't remember... She couldn't remember who she was. And so, the dark was even more welcoming.
“My name is Annabelle!” She reminded herself “I have a family. Ma, Lolly, Da, Nicks. I love them.”
But do they love me?
She... couldn't remember. Why would she? She wanted to forget. She couldn't even remember why she was trying to forget. Yet she did...
“No!” She screamed. What was she screaming into? Did it matter? “My name is Annabelle. I have a family. Ma, Lolly, Da, Nicks. I love them.”
She would crawl. She would try to remember. She would scream.
Crawl so she reaches the light. Try to remember, so she wouldn't lose herself. Scream so she lets the world know of her pain.
But the light just went further away. The memories would fade into oblivion. The world would ignore her. It wasn't fair.
“Yes, it is.” She would hear her own voice. “It fair in every way possible. Ma is dying and here you are, crawling towards something that's unreachable. Towards your own selfish freedom. Is it worth it?”
She would crawl. She would try to remember. She would scream.
As she took in her own words, a new light appeared to her left. It was so beautiful. A blue light, that lit up her hopes.
“We can save Ma.” She heard herself again. “We just need to be quick with it. Or Lolly kills her.”
The thought passed through her mind. As it did, all those red lights that were layed down with the help of Ma all screamed. They screamed of danger. They screamed so she wouldn't cave in. But it was so alluring...
“No!” She said to herself. “My name is Annabelle. Ma, Lolly, Nicks. I love them.” -She would crawl...
“Remember that movie we watched together?” She heard herself again. “The one with the ghostlike killer?” The mask suddenly shot itself into her mind, engraining itself into her. “Ah, so you do! I also remember. I remember sitting in your lap whilst Lolly tried to hide herself in your neck.” The image flashed through her mind just like the mask. “But she has always been easy to scare, hasn't she? “- ...she would try to... to forget...
“She leeched off us and didn't even care about OUR state!” Her voice was raised now, dripping with hatred. “And now” she heard herself scoff “now she's laying limp, helpless and dying and wants to kill Ma so she can live? Is that something you can call fair?” -...she would wail.
No, it's not” she said and turned towards the blue light. It was so much easier to approach it. The only thing she needed to do was ignore the red lights. Had they any meaning anyways?
Finally, we can agree on something! What do you say, should we save her? Should we butcher the doctors who are trying to kill her? Even as she screams, shouts, and begs for mercy! Lolly betrayed us! Why are they trying to save her? It makes no sense! She said we would find a solution together but what does she do instead? She kills Ma and gets on with her life like nothing happened. So, funnily enough, we come back to the same question again; Is. That. Fair.”
“No, it's not... My name is Anna... Ma... Lolly...”
As she got closer and closer to the light, she could stand up again. Walk again. It felt liberating.
“Ma won’t have to scream anymore. Won’t have to shout and beg anymore!”
She would run. She would forget. She would laugh.
“My name... Our name... it doesn’t matter...”
She would cry. She would rip. She would kill.
“Lolly...”
We hate her.
----------------------------
"So let me get this straight; you believe a doll will stop her?" Mindy's voice was filled with doubt. Rightfully so, Tara thought. It was a ridiculous statement. Yet when she saw your face and the utter sincerity it displayed, her doubts and worries faded. You looked cute. And beautiful. "I mean, you have to admit, it's a pretty wild claim..."
After finally convincing you to lay back a little and rest more, Tara and you were cuddled up to each other on your bed whilst the others somewhat shifted in their positions. Anika was sitting in Mindy’s lap on one of the two chairs inside the room, whilst Chad occupied the other. Sam was still standing in the corner, watchful and aware like a guardsman on duty.
 "Did I stutter?" you asked, on a voice far more raised than it needed to be. Everybody was looking at you, except for Anika, who was shaking her head, the smallest of smiles appearing on her face. The same one you also had. That small smile made butterflies erupt in her stomach. God, the things she would do to keep in there for the rest of your lives.
 You awkwardly cleared your throat and continued little more shyly. "Yes, I believe it will stop her. Or at least make her pause. That's all we need. A little stumble, brake in her assault. At the police station she was brutal, relentless, and precise. Even the least amount of time could help us. Also, you haven't seen how obsessed she was with that doll. Even before..." your trailed off, as you searched for the right words.
 "Before going mental" Chad finished for you. The second he saw the hurt on your face, regret washed over his. "Sorry" he mumbled.
 "Ma always said that Dolly was a bad influence on her, but whenever we wanted clarification, she only waved it off." Anika took over. "Only later would Da tell us that she got it from her childhood best friend, Dolores, seconds before getting run over by a bus."
 At their pained reaction you said. "Yeah, we had the same reaction. Anna started thinking about the doll as the friend that passed, even if only subconsciously. Hence, Dolly. Later, any time Anna would do something bad, she blamed it on Dolly, that she was the one that convinced her to do it. Sometimes it would even be entertaining. I mean, the ridiculous statement that her doll could convince her of something." you scoffed. "Well, at least back then it was."
 "So, she lost both her best friend and her mom" Chad cut in. "No wonders she went crazy."
 "You think she still believes her doll to be her friend?" Sam asked doubtfully. Why was everybody doubting you, Tara wondered. It's not like you were saying the craziest... Okay, yes you were.
"Back in the asylum she wouldn't talk to anyone, just Dolly. The doctors said whenever they took it away from her, she would just stare at a wall, sometimes even hitting her head against it until they gave it back to her."
"That's fucked up man..." Chad said softly.
"Yes, it was" Anika said matter-of-factly. "Y/N went there every week for two years until the place burned down. They tried every treatment, yet she showed no sign of getting any better. So, I believe Y/N is right; Dolly might give us a fighting chance."
"And where is Dolly exactly?"
"At Da's old place. We stashed it there, with a couple more old gadgets."
At Sam's nod, the conversation quickly changed subject. After a time, the familiar calming buzz of the Meeks' arguing, and Anika's and Sam's voice set in. Tara leant more into you in the hospital bed, still being careful not to hurt you in any way. You rested your head against hers, whilst silently enjoying each-other's company, numbly listening to whatever the group was talking about. You put your hand around her and pulled her even closer. Your scent encompassed her and made her feel at peace. You felt like home.
"You know I always wanted to piece that quote perfectly into a conversation" you said quietly, so no one else would hear you but her.
"What quote?" she asked back just as softly.
"The Office one."
"Well, if you were going for perfect, you need to do better than that" she laughed.
"C'mon. It wasn't that bad, was it?"
"It was."
You mumbled something inaudible, probably cursing her entire bloodline for all she knew, but pulled Tara even closer to you and hid your face in the crook of her neck. She gently took your hands and intertwined her fingers with yours. She thought back to your first kiss. Then the one in the car. It filled her chest with warmth. Almost as if she could still feel your lips against hers. Maybe if she bent back enough, she could... wait. The car kisses. The audacity! She looked around for something suitable, then she took the pillow you weren't using, and threw it at Mindy with full force. As it landed with a satisfying thud, she smiled to herself.
"Who was th-" Mindy started but cut herself short when she saw the look on Tara's face. "What was that for?!" she all but shrieked.
At the sudden movement and raised voice, Tara could feel you look up to the others.
"That, you traitor, was for telling Anika what I shared with you over our first coffee at Timmy's!"
"What are you-. Oh!" Mindy's eyes widened even more, as another 'oh' left her mouth, her eyes darting between you, Tara, and Anika. Tara could almost hear the cogs turning in her brain, as she was trying to connect the dots. After some very awkward silence in the room, Mindy threw her a wide, cocky, toothy grin. "You're welcome."
"Tars, it still wasn't her faul-" you started, but got shut up by one of her pointed looks. "Okay, it was -partly- hers, but come on! You can't expect her to keep something that valuable fro-" you gulped at her stare. "Okay, I guess you can."
Anika and Mindy giggled but shut up the moment you threw them a hateful look.
"What are you guys talking about?" Chad asked.
"Just the fact that Mindy told me that Tara told her that she had a little-wittle crush on Y/N."
"I did not" Tara huffed silently.
"Oh, so you let anyone take you in their arms and kiss you then?" you asked her, just as quietly, so no one could hear you. She rolled her eyes but rested her head against yours again.
"Wait, Mindy you cheated!?" Chad revolted.
"Chea-, what are you talking about?" you asked.
"Oh, darling they betted when we would get together."
"They did what?!" Oh, you looked adorable when angry, Tara decided. She pressed a small kiss to the top of your head, which clearly caught you off-guard, an immediate blush forming on your cheeks, that you desperately were trying to conceal. Unsuccessfully, of course.
"Oh, you made the payments already?" Anika joined in.
Chaos unraveled in the room, as the Meeks' started shouting again, and Anika tried to collect her rewards. Tara laughed as your eyes widened when you saw how much money traded hands. But then you smiled, proudly at Anika. After Tara did a short count, she also felt impressed by your sister. She was undoubtedly the winner of this bet. "I teached her well" you whispered to Tara, which she could only laugh at.
-----------------
You couldn’t really focus on the conversation that was going on inside the room. You knew Tara felt your brain cogs turning, yet there was nothing you could do about it. Your thoughts just kept on relaying towards what you felt like an executioner’s axe hanging over your head, Anna. You still couldn’t quite believe she was back. It shouldn’t have been possible. You saw her burnt body with your own eyes. Just like her body had, the sight burnt itself into your brain, and was now showing itself.
Yet every single clue you could think of when it came to Ghostface pointed in her direction. The way she only targeted you at your apartment. The note on the homeless guy’s dead body. Her familiarity with you at the station. Her voice. You’d swear you could hear her voice underneath that damned modulator. And if it was indeed really her, then you were doomed. You weren’t ready to face her. Not after not giving up on her for two whole years, even after her first attack. Not after you cared for her every time you were at the asylum. Not after burying her.
You couldn’t shake off the thought that she could heal back when she was being watched, never giving up even for a second. You couldn’t shake of the hope that started growing inside you now. Thinking how she would ruffle your hair again after something you said, how she would hug you again when you were hurt. Thinking and remembering all the times she would whisper soothing words after one of the many injuries you had gotten, or when you got into a serious fight with your best friend. Even though she was just three years older than you, she still never acted like it. No. She always acted like the big sister, who had to protect you, who had to show you the things she had learnt before you.
Oh, how fun it was when she taught you something.
“Lolly!” her voice was filled with excitement as she barged into your room. “Look!”
She was holding some kind of dark rock in her hand. It looked funny. The light danced on it as if it were some kind of crystal. Maybe it was! Was this a gift?
“No” she chided you, as you stretched your tiny hands towards her to grab it. “It’s messy. When you touch it, it turns you black as well. See my hand? It’s black because of it. Da called it ‘coal’ and said it is used to make fires. But you can draw with it as well! Come, let me show you what I drew!”
You couldn’t even tell when you teared up. Has it been hours or seconds? You didn’t know and couldn’t really care. The more you replayed memories in your mind, the more possible it became to have her back. But why were you crying then?
Because she would never be back.
It didn’t matter how much you loved her; she was gone. Either dead, or so broken she couldn’t remember her own real feelings. You didn’t know which was worse.
And so, hope has let you down again, bringing only sadness in its wake.
“We should probably get going” you said quickly before bursting out in tears in front of all your friends, trying your best to keep a straight voice. After realizing that might have already happened, you wiped the small salty water trails of your face. “The sooner we get Dolly, the better.”
“Are you sure you’re ready to leave?” Tara asked. She sounded so soft, careful. It broke your heart even more.
“You need to rest more Kay” Anika said just as softly. Why are they treating you like this? “Me and the Meeks’ can grab her and be back-”
“What I need, is to get out of here” you interrupted her as you slowly crawled out of Tara’s arms. Somehow you managed to stand up without groaning. Progress. That’s what I like.
You shoved that thought away.
“Now let’s call the doctor and ask them for my things” you said as you quickly composed yourself. “I know I look lavishing in white robes, but I don’t think its street appropriate.”
--------------
The doctors, of course, wouldn’t let you go. Your insistence on you already being better did nothing to sway them. Fucking brats. They wouldn’t even give you back your clothes. Might as well let them keep it. They were all bloody anyway. You didn’t need them.
Mindy, Anika, and Chad left not long after Tara finally convinced you to go back to bed. It took a long time of planning and talking of what exact route they will be taking before you caved in. They promised they’ll be back in at least three hours. You still didn’t like how this was turning out. You felt helpless and as if you were and inconvenience. You probably are. For Sam’s insistence, Anika called Vasco and asked for some more men before leaving, and he said he’ll ask Bailey. They never arrived. He’s in on it too.
Sam kept pacing around the room like there was no tomorrow. Tara felt tense too under your arms. You couldn’t help but feel anxious as well. Who wouldn’t? Anna was loose, reinforcements haven’t arrived and the group split. Nothing was ideal. Everything was in fact, wrong. This last day shook your world completely and it could and would not feel real.
As time passed, so did the Carpenters nerve settle. Tara felt more at ease, leaning into you. Her smell was very distracting, which you were grateful for. You needed something that could anchor to the real world, and she was just that. You looked down at her, the dim light of the room dancing on her face. She is perfect.
You must have stared for a long time now as she spoke up.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
You couldn’t help but smile and look away sheepishly. “Sorry” you croaked quietly.
“No, no, it’s okay” she said quickly, smiling at your reaction. “I like it when you look at me.”
“I’m going to give you two the room” Sam stated, breaking both of you out of the little conversation for a few seconds until she left the room. At Tara’s worried look, she added “Don’t worry, I’m just gonna be outside the door.” With that she was gone. Good.
You awkwardly cleared your throat. “So, you like me looking at you?”
She scoffed and tried to hide her blush, realizing she won’t ever live this down. “Don’t flatter yourself, dork.”
“Well, I like looking at you. You are beautiful Tars.”
You could see her getting ten shades of red darker than she already was. If you blushed too, you would never notice. All your senses were filled by her. Her smile was blinding, her rapid heartbeat deafening. Her scent filled your nostrils, and a second later you felt her lips against yours as well, so you could taste her. In that moment nothing else mattered. Just her tender touch, her feel as she slowly started to move against you, her hand caressing your face. Heaven didn’t feel enough to describe where you felt at that moment. You could swear you would never need anything else, but her.
You never made any relationship you were in last because of the fear of vulnerability. You were too afraid to open up, as if anyone got that close to you, they could ruin you and there would be nothing you could do about it. Nothing to save you from annihilation. Falling was scary. Scarier than most experiences that you ever had.
Yet now, you knew it was okay to fall. It was okay because she was there to catch you. Here with her body pressing against yours, you weren’t afraid to crumble if she was the one who crashed you. There would be noone to save you from her. And it was more than acceptable.
You trust too easily.
As you came up for air, you looked deep in her eyes, and that thought faded like breath in the air on a cold day. Her shiny brown eyes radiated with love and care. Her hair was a bit messy, but she has never looked more beautiful than at that moment, in your arms.
“I thought you were beautiful since I lay eyes on you Tars” you breathed out shakily.
“You really think so?”
“Yes” you answered without hesitation.
She shifted a little, her hands awkwardly rubbing each other. You squinted your eyes in confusion before noticing what was really going on; she was rubbing the scar on her left hand. You smiled at her and gently took her hands in yours, stopping her motions.
“Nothing is going to change that Tars” you said softly and raised her left hand to kiss it. “Not this, not anything.”
She simply nodded at that, leaning into you. You could only hope she understood how you saw her, because you knew how conscious she was about her scars. Mindy told you she had more, but nobody ever spoke about it. You still couldn’t wrap your head around how someone who is supposed to be an other’s partner can do something like this.
You suppressed the anger that was building up inside you at the thought. You had the girl of your dreams in your arms. You couldn’t allow yourself to be angry.
You just sat in the bed in quiet for some time. The calming presence of each other was welcomed by both of you.
After a while Tara carefully moved off you and went to the night table, starting to swipe through her phone.
“What is it?” you asked.
“Mindy and the others should be back by now.”
Your heart clenched in instant, and you looked at the time on your phone. They should have arrived ten minutes ago, yet you couldn’t hear their voice from outside, and they hadn’t texted any-.
A gunshot soared through the air, followed by shouting and screaming from outside the room.
Tara and you looked at each other, horrified and ran to the door. When you tore it open you knew wherever Anika and the others were, they would either come too late, or never make it. Ghostface was standing over two of the four officers’ bodies that were here to protect you, their throats cut open. They were gasping desperately for air, with the only result of ultimately inhaling their own blood. Sam was facing you, right next to the door. She was probably on her way to warn you both. She was bleeding from a deep wound in her shoulder, holding some white and red stripes of clothing in her hand.
Time seemed to freeze as light dawned on you. Ghostface’s mask had been damaged. Two small pieces of it were missing, revealing not much of her face. But that was all enough for you. You could see her dark green eyes. You could see her grin. Nobody else had that grin and she only had it when she was having the time of her life.
Annabelle charged towards you.

Hiii can I request karma akabane with a shy s/o who’s scared all the time and is usually alone they may be smart but their sensitive if you want to I mean you did get 131 requests so
Sure! I probably should've done his general concept first but oh well 🤷‍♀️ General concept may repeat some things when it comes out. Aged up as usual. I hope he isn't too OOC, still new to this anime and tried to do my research.
Yandere! Karma Akabane with Shy! Darling
Pairing: Romantic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Manipulation, Obsessive behavior, Sadism, A bit of swearing, Possessive behavior, Violence, Attempted murder, PDA briefly mentioned, Clingy behavior, Karma is neglected by his parents in canon I think, Forced relationship implied.
Tumblr media
Karma has been neglected by his parents, as a result he's a rebellious and violent kid.
Even when he tried to use his violence for the right thing... he was punished for it.
Now that's landed him in Class E with a looming threat that the world will end soon.
That's when he meets you, a shy but smart student who didn't seem to deserve being here.
You were clever and smart in your own way but it still landed you in Class E, for a punishment or for other means.
Karma's attention isn't on you until after he mellows out in Class E.
By now he's quieter but still really mischievous and smart.
Karma could be considered a trickster who often misbehaves but usually with good motives.
Karma notices you and your nature the more Class E bonds.
You intrigue him... an outcast in a sea of outcasts.
You're quiet and always focusing on your work... yet really skilled in planning for Class E.
When he first talks to you he comes off as intimidating.
After all, you've been observing him from afar like the rest of your classmates...
He's clever, skilled in taking down opponents, willing to bend the rules and easily one of the strongest students in the class.
Him talking to you throws you for a loop.
Something about you intrigues him and makes him drawn to you.
You being so quiet and scared all the time makes him wonder why you were placed here of all places.
To put it simply... Karma wants to know more about you despite your reluctance.
Leading into his persistent and dangerous yandere behavior towards you.
Karma is Manipulative/Cunning, Obsessive, Sadistic, Impulsive, Jealous, yet also Empathetic and Laid-back.
Karma likes to mess with people.
He'd do the same to a timid and shy darling, liking your reactions.
The look he gives you when teasing you is smug and mischievous.
Karma's crush on you is under the radar except to those who know him well.
Even when Karma is just being playful towards you it feels demeaning or unnerving.
The closest the class gets is rumors but Karma isn't too happy about the idea of you knowing how he feels towards you yet.
It'll take time for Karma to get you to open up.
You tend to avoid him and shiver in your spot when he comes near.
Karma is patient with you and aims to be your closest friend.
You've been alone and prefer to stay away from your classmates...
Karma is determined to be the first one who's close to you.
Soon you two become friends for the most part after an agonizing amount of time.
It's an unlikely pair in the class but that doesn't change Karma's mind.
Karma seems to have enough charisma to get you to trust him.
He's so good at playing with other people's minds that he plans to make you forget your fear of him.
Your fear wasn't misplaced, however, as Karma is bad news.
Karma will make his darling depend on him.
He can be jealous towards his other classmates but usually hides it.
Although he's ruthless when he does use violence against others.
Your shy behavior makes you a target to those outside of Class E.
You may get pushed around and called a freak... which leads to a very pissed Karma.
Being in an assassination class means Karma could care less if he has to use violence as a yandere.
Could be just to injure others... could be to fatally wound them.
Karma goes insane over his darling.
If you're shy it just makes him want to 'play' with you.
Only Karma can tease your reclusive behavior, smiling at your flushed face and futile attempts to ignore him.
The second someone else does it, Karma is staring at them from across the room.
Which soon leads to a fight started by Karma.
When he does ask you out and you comply (by force or not) Karma can be possessive.
Karma normally isn't one for PDA but will try it to make a point.
To be honest, Karma probably struggles with healthy love due to being neglected when he was young.
This means he tends to cling to his darling and refuses to give you up.
Your shy behavior even makes Karma want to protect you as he is the most skilled.
Karma is not one to show mercy to those who try to take you from him.
He's empathetic towards you and your problems but keeps others away by threats and violence...
Karma knows his shy darling likes to be reclusive, so isn't he helping by isolating them?

SENTENCE MEME BALDUR'S GATE 3 / PART THREE
i heard what happened.
thank you for protecting the child.
we can risk violence here or face it for certain on the road.
a low thought, but i'd be lying if i said i hadn't considered it.
i'm not some murderer for hire.
to get these people to safety, there's nothing i won't do.
if your people survived that, they'll survive anything.
it's unusual for them to organize so cleverly.
you're equal to the task.
try not to keel over with the first blade drawn.
might not look it, but we're tough.
there's optimism and then there's stupid.
how are you going to take my gold if you're dead?
just leave the gold on my corpse.
i wish we could at least give them a proper burial.
gold ain't any use if you're too cold to spend it.
you're giving up?
you should leave it, or destroy it.
at best it's worthless. at worst, who knows.
do not trifle with that moon witch or her trinkets.
only trouble will follow.
we've enough troubles and burdens as it is.
perhaps you can sell that for a couple of coins.
i should pluck your eyes out.
a cursed book? how obvious.
this quarrel sours our feast.
be you friend or food?
am i not astonishing?
i am by all accounts a student of higher commerce and extortion.
it's not what it looks like, i swear.
i wasn't going to hurt you.
i can't believe i didn't see it.
i'm not some monster.
why didn't you tell me?
i needed you to trust me.
you can trust me.
do you think you could trust me just a little further?
let's make ourselves comfortable, shall we?
i was just swept up in the moment.
i'm looking forward to seeing you fight.
you're invigorating, but i need something more filling.
this is a gift, you know. i won't forget it.
good morning. how do you feel?
i just feel a little woozy.
i thought you'd be more powerful.
someone, or something, wants me alive.
as for my other quirks — well, we can figure those out in time.
i'm just glad you're being sensible about these revelations.
i was worried people might turn up with torches and pitchforks.
that explains the pallor.
we're each monsters in the making.
i taste absolutely awful.
we need him, like it or not.
we're bound together, no matter what comes.
you say all the right words, but i'm not so sure you mean the right things.
i will respect the decision that was made.
we're all friends again.
there's a long day ahead of us.
what a manner of place is this?
is this a path to redemption or a road to damnation?
your journey is just beginning.
what would suit the occasion?
i am [name], very much at your service.
if you want to threaten me, don't disguise it.
you're paranoid, aren't you.
must be the surroundings.
rather bleak and lonesome, one feels so exposed.
this quaint little scene is decidedly too middle-of-nowhere for me.
enjoy your supper. after all, i might be your last.
are these theatrics leading somewhere?
are you not entertained?
far be it from me to disappoint.
how dear is one's soul?
you're made if you think i'll make a deal with a devil.
what is madness but a denial of reality?
exhaust every possibility until none are left.
when hope has been whittled down to the very marrow of despair, that's when you'll come knocking on my door.
i'll have the last laugh in the end.
one might say you're a paragon of luck.
i've something important to discuss with you.
we've been travelling together for a while now and it's just about time that i shared something with you.
are you telling me you're addicted to magic?
i would not burden anyone other than myself with this were the stakes not so high.
if not out of the simple goodness of your heart, then perhaps your own self-interest might be sufficient motivation.
please, trust me.
your help could be the difference between life and death.
i'm afraid that's not going to work on me.
let us agree on actions first and explanations later.
i didn't come seeking battle.
you're different than the others, i can tell.
i'm afraid proper thanks must wait.
your boldness is a blessing.
it takes more than mere fire to break me.
i must ask again for your aid.
why entrust this to me?
i know him better than most.
i'm not interested in your lineage.
you shouldn't keep secrets like this from me.
he named me friend, and that meant the world.
they're a powerful friend with a keen interest in privacy.
i'm sworn to say no more.
i spent more time dueling than rubbing elbows with lords.
not to say i didn't develop a taste for good win and a talent for courtly dance.
it's been a badger's age since i've twinkled my toes.
a drunk ogre could put on a better show.
we can learn a lot from fairytales, don't you think?
he'll require of you only what you're least ready to part with, and then require more still.
the devil won't take just anything, he'll take everything.
that is a story reserved for lifetime friends and calmer days.
i question the wisdom in that decision but so be it.
there's no way you could have known.
i doubt a fight against them would go your way.
seems you have good survival instincts.
i go my own way — alone.

Heeello, hru?
i want a tsukishima kei × fem!reader, NO TIME SKIP, i want his reaction on the reader hugging him suddenly without saying anything and the reader doesn't pull away from the hug (aka gives him a long hug)
(Reader is clingy and doesn’t want to vent, but at the end she let it all out)
Genre: hurt/comfort, fluff, crying
Omg hi anon❗❗❗ I'm doing fine when I got this, but now I'm like a deflated grammar balloon 😭😭😭
SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO FINISH YOUR REQUEST I SWEAR I WAS THINKING ABT IT THE WHOLE TIME AFTER I GOT IT, I just didn't get the motivation at that time so I waited for inspiration to strike. But then inspiration hit me too hard and this ended up going waaaay off track ⚰️ PLUS I wrote the middle part during a campus tour and boy am I glad to have friends who are willing to be my beta readers bc past Yuu was NOT having a good time there 🥹. So sorry again in advance if this isn't exactly what you were expecting 🙏
Btw, your all caps red NO TIMESKIP is kinda funny to me bc it's like telling me to REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A PRE TIMESKIP THING NOT POST since I'm someone who mainly writes for post timeskip 💀 ntm how you probably had your own timeskip waiting for this thing 🧍‍♀️but anyways I hope you still enjoy this monster of a drabble fic hybrid 🫶
Also heads up, it's an established relationship, yeah sorry I didn't know if you would be ok with that but uh yeah sorry 😭
Word count : 3.5k (How did I get here)
Tumblr media
There wasn't any indication as to why you started to feel the way you do, maybe you were tired. It could be from stress, school work has been piling up so it wasn't a stretch to say that you might've been feeling a little burnt out. But deep down, you know exactly why. You're just too embarrassed to say it out loud, because what kind of person would you be to think that your friends were that shallow? A bad manager and an even more awful friend, that's what.
Everyone has been asking about you, concerned for your lack of response as of late. You barely look up from your notebook, something about a 'full proof strategy for their next game'. One so full proof it apparently doesn't need any input from the team or Kiyoko...or the coach... It's obvious you're trying to avoid them without being absent. Which makes it even more strange, usually you'd want to get away from the people you're avoiding. So why aren't you?
"Oh no, [Y/N] lookout!" A voice suddenly calls out, snapping you out of your thoughts just as you see a ball coming straight for you.
Before you could react, someone beat it to you, "I got it!" A hand reaches out and blocks the ball, you don't register who it is until—
"Nice save, Yacchan!"
Of course.
Yachi was the one who saved your face from getting pummeled while you sat there with your head in the clouds. All the more reason the team should just— just—
Just kick you off the team.
Ah.
There it is.
That's what's been on your mind. Why it was so hard for you to actually avoid them, you were scared to be pushed aside while trying to encourage them to do so. Thinking you were being good at your job, only to see someone new do it better.
You feel like you've been lacking as a manager, despite being in the club for longer. It felt like the newcomer, Yachi, was doing a lot better in the short time she's here. You know it was unwarranted, she's been nothing but helpful. Picking up all the little things you and Kiyoko taught her. The team also welcomed her with open arms, as did you.
It was a gradual realization on your end, with 3 managers on standby, it's easy to lose track of who does what job. But more and more it felt like you've been doing the least out of the 3 of you. It really affected you, even without you knowing.
You start to forget routines, things like after school clean up duty, homework, even going as far as to forget planned hangouts. It felt like all you wanted to do was finish the day as quickly as possible, you don't even get up from your seat much anymore. Your indifference in class is mostly likely why no one tried approaching you for stuff, which makes sense, you probably look unapproachable anyway.
Well, almost unapproachable. If it weren't for Tsukishima, who chose to come up to you on days you fully ignore the team.
"What's up with you?" His words were short and lacked any poise, fitting for the only first year keen on riling up opponents and allies alike.
"...Nothing is, I'm fine" Much like Tsuki, your words were curt. Hoping that the less you answer, the more he's inclined to leave you alone.
Giving you an unconvinced look paired with an equally unconvinced once over, he shrugs and turns to leave you be.
"Suit yourself"
That hurts more than anything your own mind can throw at you, because all it does is convince you further that they're better off without you. All you've been doing is feeling bad about yourself, starting to forget everything important in favor of ignoring the problem.
But strangely enough, even when you forget, nothing seems to have any big consequences. When you realize you forgot about cleanup duty, your class partner just shrugs, saying your friend stayed behind and helped them instead. You think that it could've been Yamaguchi, he sometimes helps with cleaning duty when someone's partner goes home early.
It makes you feel worse about your moping, inconveniencing not one but two people. All because you can't convince yourself that just because Yachi is doing a lot better than you, it doesn't mean you're useless.
Right?
Not to mention the heartwarming messages from your friends when you don't show up to a hangout, they seem so understanding in spite of how you don't even tell them anything. The messages telling you to "Take care of yourself" and "Work things out at your own pace" could honestly make you cry.
Even the team tries their best to cheer you up, or at least to get your attention. You can't lie and say you don't see Hinata trying to get the other first years to pull some cool volleyball stunt he saw once, hoping that you'll congratulate them. It's hard to ignore it, especially when you can just feel his occasional stare, trying to get a reaction from you. But, as much as you want to cheer them on, you just can't do that. And yet, they're still so understanding. Trying to raise your spirit, Yachi even tried to start a conversation with you by asking for help on different managerial duties. But to no avail, all you do is point her in the right direction before going back to your place in the stands. Her efforts weren't in vain, but not enough to really get to you.
But it doesn't add up, how would they know you're going through a tough time? Are you really that obvious? You probably are. Either way, it's sweet of them to still think about you even when you're basically ditching them.
What does make sense to you is the homework, which you still end up submitting on time. All thanks to, you guessed it, Tsukishima. He just started reminding you about homework due in 2 days, complete with the pages and formulas needed. A smart comment about your recent forgetfulness is always attached to the message, something to remind you that it's from Tsuki of all people.
Someone you got to know through Yamaguchi, a mutual friend of yours, and if that's not enough, then being on the same team definitely is. As a manager on said team, you were always there for whatever sarcastic quip he had at the ready. Complete with every short joke ever made and that snide smile of his almost everyday. Needless to say, it didn't take long for a friendship to bloom. No longer hanging out only when Yams was around, you both built a routine for when you have each other. Yet you were always one to break routine for something new, a habit the tall beanpole never fails to challenge.
"Why do I have to come with you? You can just go alone" He says, not too keen on the idea of skipping your usual bakery visit for a cafe.
"Because I don't want to go alone and you're the only free one" You were always so sure he'd come with you anyway, to the point where you don't even try to convince him anymore.
He did end up going with you in the end, even if he did have his complaints here and there. But overall, it was one of the few times you can visibly see him having a good time. You chose a cafe themed around the stars and space in general, which you knew Tsuki liked quite a bit. Sure it would've been better to go to a dinosaur themed cafe, but the ones you know about are all the way in Tokyo and Fukui. Nevertheless, that space cafe visit was definitely a core memory in both your and Tsukishima's friendship, no matter how much that salt shaker wanted to deny it.
Though you did promise that one day, both of you would go together.
As friends, cause that's what you are, right?
Wait, actually do you even remember what happened after the space cafe? Wasn't it really important?
It feels like you know exactly what it is, it's a *fact* that you remember what it is. But much like everything else around you, it as well, whether you mean to or not, is pushed to the back of your head. Your thoughts start to discourage your resolve in this self-driven solitude of yours, built upon claims with no support. But why would the evidence matter if the claim itself is enough to make you believe?
It really felt like you were going to keep up this ruse forever, nothing really served as a consequence to you. The only thing keeping you in this state were the small glimpses of the team above your notebook, always up to some dumb fun. Something you always looked forward to in spite of the grueling practice ahead of them, well it was something you looked forward to.
Your eyes catch onto the other first years happily chatting with each other, except for Tsuki who preferred to stand on the sidelines, only chiming in to add a sprinkle of sarcasm into the conversation. That seems fun, you knew it was. As you watch everyone laugh at something Yachi says, something in you starts coiling around your heart.
You're suddenly aware of every breath you take, your thoughts start to repeat 'breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out...'
Your surroundings start to feel heavy, like you were tethered to your place. The sound of your own breathing feels louder than the voices in the gym. So focused on your empty notebook that everything else blurs at the edges of your vision.
It wasn't until you caught golden-brown eyes staring at you from across the court, genuine concern masked under a nonchalant gleam. You hold his gaze for longer than you'd like, unsure if there's anything else hidden under the bespectacled stare.
Tsuki only tilts his head in the direction of the other first years, probably telling you to come with them. You can only refuse, solemnly shaking your head. They can't possibly want you there with them, not after ignoring them for the better part of a week. It wouldn't be right to just butt in like that.
He probably knows that you're still not giving in, because it looked like he let out a sigh before walking towards them. Not before one last stare down with you, his gaze asking if you're sure about your decision. You can only hesitantly nod, you're not sure, you don't want to pick this decision, but you've convinced yourself that you're backed into a corner.
A corner you made up.
Well, no use in thinking about it now.
"Oi [Y/N], I'm gonna lock up the gym now! Better get going" Oh coach Ukai, you forgot he was still here. Taking your notebook and pen into your arms, you nod at the coach before heading towards the exit. Body slightly hunched over when you pass him, unable to look at him in the eye.
"Whatever it is you're going through, you know they got your back, right kiddo?" Ukai suddenly says, right before you leave. It makes you stand in your place for a while, thinking. You know they do, it just doesn't feel right to, especially when you didn't give them a valid reason for your distance.
"Y-yeah…Thanks, coach" You mumble, fully facing away from him. Turning to leave, when you catch a glimpse of the orange sky outside. Realizing how late it got, you break into a sprint back to your classroom.
Through the now empty halls, doused in ombre. No other soul in sight, leaving the sounds of your footsteps to be heard. The sky is beautiful today…wouldn't it be fun to experience it together?
Your pace slows right in front of your classroom, 1-4 written on a sign next to the door. Putting your hands on your knees to catch your breath from all the running, you stop to admire the light that passes through your classroom door.
And that's when you heard it, the faint scratching of a chalkboard being erased, you'd know that sound anywhere. It's soft, you could barely hear it over your own breaths, who could be cleaning it at this time? You know your partner didn't come to school today, they were sick. You yourself forgot, so why would anyone be there?
Slowly peeking through the door frame, you see a lone figure standing by the chalkboard. Short blond hair, a lean figure, headphones over his neck, the wire hanging loose. It's him, the one you felt the most guilt for. You watch him for a while, lazily swiping the eraser across the chalkboard.
So that's who your cleanup partner was talking about.
It wasn't Yamaguchi…
It was Tsuki.
He's been the one filing in for you, the one picking up after you. The one who kept pushing you to just talk to the team from a distance, he was looking out for you. The one that's been trying to reach out in his own way, you feel so stupid. Running away while your…
Your…
Your...
Own boyfriend looks out for you even when you unfairly pushed him away.
Your eyes glaze over and your breathing interchanges between short huffs and long shaky sighs. Feeling like you owe so much to him, keeping you afloat in an ocean of your own solitude. Step by step, you make your way over. Speeding up the closer you got.
Reaching him, you immediately press your face into his back. Arms wrapping around his waist, grabbing at the fabric of his school uniform to keep yourself in place. You can feel him tense, before slowly relaxing and going back to his cleaning. The guilt eating up at you even more, you clench your fists around his uniform, trembling in your place. Your lip trembles slightly, making your words sound even more pathetic than they already are.
"I'm…I-I'm so-so-...so-sor—ry—!" You sob, voice breaking off the same way you are. No words could express the mix of relief and remorse you feel, relief to be able to express your true feelings and remorse for your actions that didn't. Your eyes fill with tears that linger at their edge, waiting for a push to get them down.
"You better be, do you know how much they miss you? Those idiots won't stop asking me about you" Kei's words striking right through your heart, the coil no longer tight. Your tears finally fall as your cries get louder. You press your face further into your boyfriend's back for comfort, letting out all the pent up feelings you've harbored the past week.
"I…I just f-felt like—like I wa-was u-useless!" You whimper, sobs reduced to short intakes of air between big breaths.
"Idiot…" Turning to face you fully, Kei's hand settles itself on the top of your head, sliding down to the back. Pushing you further into an embrace of his own, refusing to look at you. One hand on the back of your head, the other fiddling with his headphone wires.
All that you've done, the distance you tried to make, it all came tumbling down. All at once. It was never supposed to take hold of you the way it did, so all you needed was something to justify ending it. Kei, is that something.
"It's just tha-that—Yachi is such-such a good mana–ger…be-better than me…" The words flow out before you could stop them, a confession to your actions. Hearing it out loud, you truly realize how weak your reasons are. It just shows how little it took to have you questioning your worth as a member of the team, laid out in front of the both of you. 
"..." His silence causes you to meekly look up at him, afraid of what he might think. Kei was always good at keeping a neutral face, never making it easy for you to know what he's thinking.
"I don't want to stop being your guys' manager…" You lower your head, voice a whisper, lip still quivering slightly.
"Then don't, no one's telling you to quit"
Huh.
"But—" You quickly look back up at him.
"But nothing, Yachi's great and all but when will we ever get another clutz like you who pays for my drink?" He has a smug look on his face after saying that, eyes filled with nothing but mischief.
You say nothing, words stuck in your throat. Still staring at his stupid smile, he's probably so proud of himself for that. But, you knew he said that to cheer you up. Something to keep you out of your own head, and it's working.
"Way to ruin the moment…" You mumble, "Could've been a bit more dramatic" A soft smile takes over your expression, already feeling much more relieved than before.
"You can do that by yourself," Kei retorts, looking at you from the corner of his eye.
"But you'd still do it with me" Your smile grows, eyes filled with adoration for the pretty face in front of you. After being alone for the better part of a week, it was nice to finally talk again. Even if you had so much making up to do, to everyone in the team, maybe you could start with the one who still held you close.
"Oh? You sound so sure of yourself for someone who's been running away from me" Eyebrow raised in faux skepticism, waiting for your answer.
"I promise I'll make it up to you first" You tell him, before burying your face back into his front, basking in his familiar scent and warmth where you feel most at ease.
"You better"
And you will. To all of them.
Tumblr media
Walking home from school during sunset is a special kind of rare to you, barely anyone on the streets. Your newfound goal for the following week, circling in your mind. Beside you was Kei, matching your pace with long strides contrasting your own smaller steps.
"Kei…Do you want to stop by Paprika heaven?" You suddenly ask.
"Paprika heaven? Really?" Kei is not convinced you're being serious, you can practically sense that raised brow.
"It's a cafe! I know the name isn't the sweetest sounding but trust me on this!" You insist, letting out an exasperated huff.
"Shouldn't it be closed?" He questions further, still doubtful.
"It closes at 9, I checked" You proudly exclaim, crossing your arms with a content look on your face.
Kei rolls his eyes at your antics, "Alright, I yield" he raises his hands in surrender, yet a smirk still makes its way onto his face, "But you're paying"
You freeze, realizing that he's right. You are going to pay for it, with your own money. Immediately, your figure deflates dramatically. Slouching forward with an exaggerated groan.
"Right…" Your wallet will never forgive you. But not because Paprika Heaven was too expensive, a piece of your soul just dies whenever you take out a remotely large amount of money from your wallet.
This apparently amuses your boyfriend because he starts laughing, so much so that his shoulders move in time with each laugh. He turns to look at your stunned figure, which only entertains him more. Hearing his mocking laughter, it shakes you out of your stupor. Irritation starts to take hold of you, wanting him to stop laughing at your obvious misery.
"Wha—?! Stop laughing!" Your fists make contact with your boyfriend's chest, repeatedly hitting him to get him to shut.
"I'm serious! I might become poor after this!"
"That's your own fault" In between laughs, Kei is still able to call you out. Seriously, can't he take this seriously?
After a while he calms down, wiping a single tear from his eye. You also calm down, arms tired from the repeated attacks on your boyfriend. Leaning your forehead on his chest to rest, eyes closing on their own from the change in atmosphere. Kei only stands proud, hands in his pockets and a grin spread across his face in content.
Comfortable silence wash over you, the sun still peeking just beyond the horizon, lighting up the road just enough for you to see the way ahead. It's way too late for a bunch of high school students to be out, let alone ones who plan on staying out. But that doesn't matter, you can take the worried lectures from your parents later. Right now, you want to make up for lost time.
"Kei—," You raise your head to face him, taking a deep breath,
"Thank you" A closed eyed smile appears on your face, "For still putting up with me"
"...Whatever" He looks away from you, eyes gazing over the road in front of you.
But no matter how much he tries to hide it,
You can still see that small genuine smile on his face.

"i want to walk this path with you"
Tumblr media
summary: in which you have reached your breaking point after one too many hits from the universe, and jungkook is there to help you get back up
wc: 2.1k
warnings: swearing, emotions, angst to fluff, hurt/comfort, self-deprecating thoughts, mentions of family issues, an allusion to su!c!d3, rough head-space, verbal abuse-ish, mentions of weight and self-image, best friends to lovers, jungkook is the best-friend-turned-partner alive
a/n: honestly, it's a self-indulgent long fic that i wrote for myself because these days haven't been too good. the fact that he went live today really boosted my mood, and this fic really shows how much of a lifesaver he is for me. without him, i don't know what i'd do. my life literally revolves around him. he is everything to me.
a/n 2.0: edited and wc updated!
~
today was not a good day.
when i woke up this morning i could already tell something was off. as if the universe were a chess player looking down at my pawn on the board, contemplating whether or not they should knock me down today, only to cackle aloud and tip me over.
and i had been right.
nothing had seemed to go my way today. my insecurities surrounding my image finally resurfaced due to the ongoing conversations my friend group has been having about weight and eating habits and fashion trends. my parents had been making it worse for the past few weeks, one day berating me for eating too much and the next scolding me for eating too little.
or really just yelling at me for random stuff every now and then. it was as though the stress they were dealing with at work (and from my younger brother who made it his life mission to make everyone miserable on a daily basis) was being taken out on me all the time.
of course, i couldn't forget the overflow of assignments and classwork i had to finish on a daily basis. with little to no motivation, it was proving to be really hard to start one thing, let alone complete everything.
and then there was fact that i was starting to feel more out of place in my own skin as the days went by.
it was like everything was too fast and too loud and too bright, but at the same time too slow and too quiet and too dull. it was as if one second everything mattered a little too much, and then suddenly nothing mattered at all.
at least there was no one around to witness me crumbling. my parents had left for a business trip earlier, and my younger brother was out with his friends. being a senior in high school, they had deemed me capable of looking after him for a few days, not knowing it was only adding more strain on my shoulders.
soon, i could feel the build-up of the multiple things i had been facing start to erupt, so when i stepped into the kitchen to try and make myself a quick dinner, i wasn't too surprised to find out that me dropping my bowl of ramen on the floor was my last straw.
then again, i suppose it had been a little too hot.
staring down at the now shattered china, my eyes watered as i took in the noodles splattered across the tiled kitchen floor.
"at least i didn't put too much broth this time" i choke out in an attempt to make myself feel better in this empty house.
it didn't work.
i felt the tightness in my chest grow, fuled off all the emotions i had been hiding for weeks now, begging to be let out. the pinching in my throat was unbearable as i felt the unavoidable onslaught of tears blur my vision.
please.
i give in.
sinking down to my knees by the mess of noodles and broth and china, in the daunting quiet of this house that no longer felt like a home, i heaved a shuddering breath.
and i cried.
sobs racked through my body with uncontrollable force as my tears streamed down my cheeks and into my lap. my hands began to shake, and i pressed my palms to the tiles, taking advantage of their ice-cold feel. my chest hurt to the point where i couldn't breathe, and i wasn't sure why eveything sounded so loud all of a sudden.
a shrill buzz jolted me out of my daze, and i sniffled, turning my head in its direction.
my...phone?
half-crawling, half-dragging myself across the kitchen, i pulled my phone off the counter.
i let out another sob seeing the caller id.
kookie
it was as if he knew.
i pick up as i try to get my breathing under control.
"jungkook" i whisper, my voice coming out shaky and strained.
"y/n?"
i let out another sob hearing his voice, quiet and concerned and oh so soft.
"hey, hey, what's going on? are you alright? where are you right now?"
he's panicking, and i hear rustling from the other end which tells me he's throwing a hoodie on.
"...in my kitchen" i mumble, eyes going back to my now-unedible dinner.
"just wait for me," he breathes, "i'll be there in 5 minutes. i'm gonna stay on the line, but just wait for me, ok? can you do that for me?"
"mhm."
i hear a door slamming, and then heavy footsteps. 
suddenly i realize how late it is- around 11:30pm. the fact that jungkook is leaving when it's this dark, that also to come see me, starts to worry me.
"kook it's really late. what if-"
my anxiety must have been evident in my voice, because he's instantly calming me down.
"baby, i'm perfectly fine. i see your house ok. i'll just use the spare key in your garage. i'll be right there."
my heart skips a beat at the pet name he occasionally uses for me. i'm sure he means it as a term of endearment, but it's hard to control myself when i've had feelings for him since we were kids.
and to make my situation even better, he's my best friend.
i let out a choked laugh at how i was crying one second and smiling the next.
"what's wrong? are you ok?"
although his voice comes through the phone, i suddenly hear muffled jangling of keys from the other side of the door, and a lock clicks open. i lift my head to the entrance, and see jeon jungkook standing in my doorway.
he takes in my defeated state, and the hand clutching his phone slowly slips down from where he was holding it to his ear, arm hanging loosely at his side.
he's silent, and i stay where i am, still crouched on the cold tiled floor. my eyes drift to his flushed cheeks and heaving chest, before noticing that his hair looked fluffier due to having faced the wind on his way here.
he's so beautiful.
"oh y/n" he whispers, before kicking his shoes off and rushing towards me. he drops down to his knees in front of me, before wrapping his arms around me and pulling me to his chest.
i cling onto him, biting on my bottom lip to keep my sobs under control as the tears start falling again. his hands are rubbing up and down my back, before he pulls back to hold my face in his hands.
"what happened?" he asks, voice shaky as i see his own eyes glistening. "who did this to you? what's wrong? talk to me, baby, i'm here now."
"i'm so tired jungkook" i whisper, the words twisting my gut. "i'm so fucking tired and i don't know how to fix it."
his fingers brush away the salt water streaming down my cheeks, and his face is mirroring the pain i feel in my heart.
"i've tried everything, i've done all i could for everyone in every possible way but it's never enough. nothing is enough, and it's only now that i realize that it will never be enough. i don't even know what they want from me anymore, jungkook, i-"
i let out a sob, and he instantly pulls me into his arms, rocking us gently. "shh y/n, i've got you."
"-and my parents keep yelling and my brother treats me like shit even though i try so hard to make sure he doesn't end up like me, and all anyone's talking about is their image and i'm so uncomfortable with myself, and then school is even more stressful-"
"hey, no no no, y/n, you're not-" jungkook tries to butt in, eyes wide and wet, but i just shake my head hard.
"it's too much jungkook" i plead, voice cracking, "it's too much and i don't know how much longer i can take it."
at this jungkook freezes, staring at me in what seems to be fear. a tear slips down his cheek, and i feel my heart break even more when i realize that i'm the reason he's crying.
"oh no, jungkook" i whisper, and this time it's me that wipes his tears, "please don't cry, i can't see you cry because of me."
he sniffles, rubbing a hand over his face and then over my own, before helping me stand up. holding my hand, he pulls me behind him as he grabs the broom, and keeps holding it as he shoves the mess on the floor into the dustpan and then the garbage. i grab the mop, still clutching his hand in mine, and swipe down the leftover broth that was still on the floor.
placing everything back, jungkook stands with me in the middle of the kitchen, quiet. i keep my gaze on our entwined fingers, unable to meet his gaze.
it's the first time i've broken down this bad in front of him, and i was afraid of what he would say next.
i don't know what i'd do if he walked away from me too.
eventually he breaks the silence.
"how long?" 
startled at the serious tone of his voice, i look up to see him staring at our hands. his jaw is clenched, and although his eyes are still shiny there's a sharpness in them.
"...a few weeks now" i whisper.
he's silent again, but this time when he looks at me his gaze is full of anger- for me.
"and your self-hate?"
i wince slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"...long before that. it kinda just overflowed today..."
"did i..." jungkook swallows hard, as though the question he were trying to ask was hurting him.
"did i make you feel like that?"
my eyes go wide- how could he even think that? i pull him to me, hands covering his own as i shake my head.
"what- no! no, never! kook, sweetheart, you-" i breath out, upset that he even thought he had hurt me.
"if anything you're the only thing that keeps me going."
as soon as i say this, it's as though something in his gaze changes. suddenly his hands are on my waist, and he's lifting me up like i weigh nothing. gently resting me on the kitchen's marble countertop, he placed both hands on either side of my hips, before shifting closer to stand between my legs. when he speaks his voice comes out strained, as his fingers grip the counter edge so hard his knuckles turn white. as if he's holding himself back.
"give me permission" he breathes, and as he tilts his head down to face me fully, i can feel my breath catch in my throat.
"give me permission, and i will make you forget every fucked up thing you ever heard and every cruel thing you ever faced."
the intensity with which he holds my gaze makes my heartbeat speed up, and i realize that there's an emotion in his eyes that wasn't there before.
he leans closer, gently pressing his forehead against mine and closing his eyes.
"give me permission, y/n and i will show you how much you mean to me."
i think back to all the times he was there for me, high or low, night or day. i remember how he didn't hesitate to drop everything and come over the moment he heard me crying on the phone. i take in the sincerity and love in his voice, the way he was so close yet still just far enough to ensure that i wasn't uncomfortable.
and the fact that i knew he would respect my space without a second thought if i said no.
"jungkook" i whisper, my voice coming out breathless.
slowly, i raise my hands to cup his face, and feel him tense under my touch, awaiting my next words.
it was him.
it had always been him.
and it will always be him.
because he is everything to me.
"kiss me."
jungkook opens his eyes, meeting my gaze as his fingers grip my chin before he turns his head sideways, leaning in.
i meet him in the middle.
his lips are soft against mine, his touch gentle, as though i were the most precious thing around. placing a hand on the small of my back, he pulls me closer so that i'm flush against his chest, the warmth radiating off of him calming me down.
he pulls away after a while but stays close enough so that we're still face to face.
"i love you so fucking much" he breathes, emotion dripping from his words and his touch and his gaze.
i wrap my arms around his upper body and hug him to me, burying my face into the crook of his neck. he instantly hugs me back, placing a soft kiss to my temple before resting his chin on top of my head.
"i love you, jungkook."

Cw: Mentions of PTSD, Forced Cannibalism, And Alchohol Usage, Light Swearing
(Context: Satyrs in this universe are more healthy eating raw food Like Normal Goats)
-Dated 10 days after Jak escaped The Forced-Cannibalism Serial Killer, in this scene, he woke up about 6 hours ago,
Jakkon sighed as he leaned back against the wall, running a hand down the bandages covering his chest. Ten days, three hours, what did it matter? There was nothing he could do now anyway. Ripped almost in half by a knife and sentenced to two more days in this damn room. But he had no reason to leave. No one to leave for. Rose didn’t need him, and he didn’t want to speak to anyone else who was still alive.
“Hello.” A voice behind him made him flinch. “I brought you something to eat. I’ll just leave it here. I wish you well.” The Little Ferrakin girl gave him a half smile as her ear twitched and she scurried out of the room.
Jakkon stopped and glanced back at the tray. But as soon as he saw the food she’d brought him. He froze. A few small items and a piece of meat. Red. Raw. Bloody. He wanted to close his eyes as the suffocating memory of skin, muscle, bone, and wings. He scrambled backward, his hands faltering as they moved on their own and grasped at his throat. His nails dug into his skin as he gasped for air, Eveny’s screams and cold, dead eyes flashing into his mind. The Waxy smile on her cold lips reminding him of her voice and all of the I love you’s he never got to say.
The Satyr pressed his back against the walls, his quick, desperate breaths revealing the rasp in his voice that had taken his music and reminding him of the black shape consumed in flames. He flashed back to reality, his hands over his head and his damaged throat burning as it never had before. Tears streamed down his tired face and blood from his neck as he vaulted to his feet and ran. He had nowhere to go. Nowhere left to run.
But despite everything, as his heart pounded too fast in his chest and he began to feel sick in just about every sense of the word, he knew where he was going. Away from here. Away from everything. Rose’s disappointment, Finn’s scrutiny, and himself. Pain tightened burning needle claws around his wound as he left the confines in the city and found his way to the familiar path.
His hooves found dirt, and his skin found rushing air as he ran. The only thing left to do was to make an escape from his mind. Soon enough, the mossy roof shingles came into view over the tops of the twisting grape vines as he dug his hooves into the ground and lunged through the door.
Panic burned in his smoke-damaged lungs as he slammed the door shut behind him, panting as he slumped back against the wood. Desperate to be rid of the pain and terror, Jakkon began to wrack his brain for a solution as he scrambled to find something, anything, to dull the edge of the agony digging its wary claws into his heart and lungs, crushing them with every moment as he found he could hardly breathe.
He wavered on his feet, wrapping his arms around himself as the wound flared and dizziness from lack of air made him catch the counter to stand. “Fuck…” His voice trembled as he squeezed his eyes shut tightly. The Satyr tried for a gasp, but it wouldn't reach his damaged lungs as screams echoed in his head and fire flashed in his eyes, the horrible feeling of scratchy burned flesh in his throat motivating his lunge forward. He scrambled for a solution, his breaths quick and shallow. He threw open every cupboard, every drawer, his teeth grinding together in desperation as his hands began to tremble. Then, with a jarring scrape of glass, he grabbed something. His shaky fingers clamped onto a smooth, rounded shape and he pulled it up, his mind and heart racing.
Wine. Eveny's family legacy. It was strong. Meant for heartier species than his. It would break his body down. This wasn't a good idea. But he didn't care anymore. He wanted to forget. He needed to forget. He deserved to forget. He deserved to hurt.
He stared at the bottle for a moment longer before the pain and the screams drowned out his thoughts again. Jakkon grabbed the cork with his teeth and ripped it out, raising the bottle to his lips. It burned his smoke-damaged throat as he forced it down. It hurt. Just like he wanted. It burned. It burned just like the fire that had taken the love of his life from his hands. Like the fire that had taken everything he had. Then like the tear in his flesh that he remembered so vividly. Like the ropes that cut his skin.
But he enjoyed it. In a sick, twisted way, he relished the numbness that came from it. So he accepted it. He embraced it wholeheartedly, let go, and lost himself to it. He knew he would regret it someday, that it would hurt, and feel so much worse than it would if he just left it alone. But he didn't care. It would work. And as long as he didn't have to feel anything, he wouldn't let go.

*tw: depression, SI talk
I Don't Wear Mascara Anymore
I want to live, I just can't handle living at this point. And trying to explain that distinction to doctors is tricky business. "Please help me BEFORE I get to this point," I've begged over and over again. Even when you aren't at that point, even mentioning that point is risky because there isn't any room for talking about it. I can't speak for everyone, but living in the silence of long term mental illness is deafening- you literally lose any source of human noise around you. People stop understanding you, people expect you to stop talking about it even though it puts a grey veil over all of your days, people blame you, people get frustrated, people go away. Especially if it has been a long battle. I didn't choose this battle, but the fact that I keep choosing to fight it also gets stifled in the silence.
I sent a message to my doctor a few days ago telling him that these mood cycles- especially since they are happening around my period almost every month- aren't sustainable for me anymore. No one should expect me just to be ok with building myself up for two weeks out of the month, only to fall again for the last two weeks. I'm trying to do my part- I workout three days a week, I still go to work, etc etc etc. I walk talk and breathe. I slip up, though, when the symptoms are bad- I numb out with glucose because there isn't really any comfort in my life. And I'm in therapy to address that. I made my motivation very clear in the message- I will do more work to lessen the symptoms of this illness, but I can't do it alone and I can't continue on this particular path. I need my doctor's help- maybe he needs to recognize that functioning does not nullify suffering. I'm suffering immensely.
I was met with a call from the nurse saying I needed to go to the ER. "Why? I'm not su*cidal, I'm not going to hurt anyone else, and the doctor said I'm medication resistant so what would the point be? I don't fit the criteria." The nurse put me on hold and put an NP, who I have never in my life talked to, on the phone to school me on the legality of making sure I'm safe. And to ask me what I expect an 8-5 doctor's office to actually do for me. And to tell me she wasn't even sure there is anything that could help me anymore.
The answer can't always be hospitalization, there are a lot of us that are resilient but still suffering and I wish doctors would stop being comfortable with their script pads and inpatient orders. There is a portion of us that that does not help anymore, so we get written off in another way. Maybe it is just the people in my life, I'd be so glad to know that others struggling with long term mental illness have people to be patient with them and remind them of who they are. But people in my life are ok with me remaining silent and hidden. Realizing that you might be another face that fades someday because of a mental illness is an immediate gut drop. Every time I have realized that possibility, I see myself standing at the mouth of some source of human existence and I swear I feel ego death (and not in a good way).
After seeing my screen name in a depression support chat, another member noted that it is a reference to a piece of classic literature. "Yes, it is," I responded. And then I cried, because intractable mental illness makes you forget yourself- your preferences, your humanity (you become walking pain). You lose your visibility. Even if you do remember, those things aren't easily accessible when sick. Jesus, even I am getting sick of talking about all of this. Scream into the void long enough, and you are going to lose your fucking voice.
My name is Ashley and I love classic literature and horror movies and warm, rainy days and the smell of peonies and baking and helping others and weird 80s-inspired synth music and running and animals. I'm hoping that, someday in the near future, I will want to fill my apartment with plants and be semi-good at trail running and I will want to write most days and I will have a partner that will show me what love without immense pain looks like and I will want to cook for myself more and I will be able to travel and I will be able to recover some of the life that I have lost. My name is Ashley and, someday soon, I hope that I will be able to make it through a day without crying.

Thinking of the video game a lot lately, so here's alternative 1985 Marty from Citizen Brown's timeline.
I also thought up some headcanons, because even though he is just mentioned, I love him already-
-Marty is an absolute band nerd, however does not play the guitar nor have his own band. Rather, he plays in his school's band (and also does marching band). His main instrument is the trumpet, but he can also play baritone or tuba. At the moment, he is learning saxophone on his own time, but has difficulty doing so.
-Marty is also a regular nerd. Unlike the original 1985, Marty quite enjoys his other subjects, especially science and English. This, however, isn't from Citizen Brown's influence. His real influence to do well in these classes came from his father.
-In the original 1985, Marty wears contacts. In this timeline, Marty embraces his inner nerd and wears glasses.
-Marty met Jennifer on pure accident in a very stereotypical fashion: bumping into her. In a "love at first sight" deal, Marty falls in love with her and is very obvious about his crush. Even though he is pretty much loyal to their societal rules, Jennifer believes that she can change that. After all, he should be smart enough to see how dystopian their world was, right? Besides, Marty was quite sweet. However, after realizing how brainwashed Marty was, Jennifer knew that the relationship wouldn't work, and broke up with him.
-Doc (aka Citizen Brown) and Marty are NOT friends in this timeline, but both are well aware of the other's existence. Marty is one of Citizen Brown's best students, but aside from that they hardly know each other. Citizen Brown doesn't even make time to meet with the students anyway, so they only know each other by name and accomplishments.
-Since Marty didn't go back to 1955, his home environment is quite toxic and unhealthy. His father, as hinted at in the game, constantly watches over his mother to make sure she follows the rules. Marty feels uncomfortable by this, but is so brainwashed that he thinks it's for Lorraine's own good.
-Because of Marty's devotion to fitting in the societal norms Citizen Brown set, he is endlessly bullied, though usually not in public view due to the cameras. His bullies are therefore very creative and sneaky with their methods, not particularly wanting to get caught. A lot also use it as a statement against their surveillance state (town? idk nor care lol) to pick on Marty, seeing him as a representation of society as a whole (if that makes sense).
-While Marty appears like a happy guy, he's actually severely depressed. He knows something is seriously wrong under Citizen Brown's leadership, but chooses not to acknowledge it. This is mostly due to brainwashing, but also him wanting to appear good in Citizen Brown's eyes. He is not unaware of his unhappy family life, and of how unhappy other citizens were. And the bullying wasn't helping his mental state in the slightest.
Uh, I think that's it for my headcanons so far. Now we'll just have to wait another century until my motivation to draw reappears-
EDIT: DAMMIT I didn't realize until a while after that I forgot his freckles. Shoot I forget them half the time (and before yall come at me I swear his design in the video game has it so yes it's canon to me shush-). Maybe I'll post another version or edit this one if I don't find myself too lazy to do so. Eh-

November
right 😂 this is an abomination. i'm two weeks late for this post, as today is already December 13th i fully acknowledge i can no longer offer any form of apologies this time but i swear i was just distracted! i didn't forget you guys!!!
but anyways: hello everyone!!! hoping you lot are staying sane, 2022 will be over soon, maybe we'll get some proper rest this yearend, with xmas and new years' holidays! (i think this is my sole motivation to get through November and December lol)
this November the only highlight and worth mentioning is my Labuan Bajo trip! my dad (again) got another work trip scheduled on my birthday weekend, the place and timing were perfect down to the t! so of course me and my sister took another leave, and honestly thank god i have cool head dentists they didn't ask much and just approved my 7-days leave request.
Labuan Bajo (at Flores island, East Nusa Tenggara to be exact) is one of locations i have on my bucket list, and having my dad's office arranging everything we got to stay at one of the best resorts there. booked a room with a view overlooking Waecicu beach and i'm telling you every second is heaven! the weather was perfect, we have direct view of sunset from the high level every evening, the hotel was great, and most importantly: the food was delicious! i think i gained weight because all i do was just eat and try as many things as possible.
we stayed for 6 days (actually just 4 days, the rest 2 days were for the flights so they were more like rest days to me) and the thing about Labuan Bajo is that the town its located in (West Manggarai district) is a small one, you can explore everything in just 2-3 days.
for the first day, we hired a driver to show us to places. in the main island the tourist spot is mostly caves, the ones that used to be underwater hundred years ago but now is a dry cave. out of the many caves, we picked the most popular aka the Batu Cermin cave. during initial minutes of us entering the cave complex, we were awed. we can't stop ooh-ing or aah-ing because the stones were huge HUGE like a five stories building high. i was feeling fine, because i love height. but then the guide showed us a small opening to a slightly deeper and underground cave system and i was so close to freak out. mind you, i have claustrophobic tendency, so it was almost like a daytime nightmare for me. but i steeled myself and push forward after i put my caving helmet on. turned out it wasn't so bad, i managed to keep myself under control and enjoyed seeing the stalactites and fossils!
after the below ground zero cave experience, our driver (i don't know if he intentionally did this or not) brought us to a tribe village high up on the mountain (it was an hour drive from the cave) so the pressure change was hilarious (to me at least). there we tried the local traditional clothing and took pics on the traditional house. my mum bought traditional textile and my dad got grounded coffee. after that we had lunch and went back to the hotel!
for our second day, we rented a private speedboat to reach the islands and decided it'll be just a 1 day trip scouring everything in one go.
on the islands tour trip day, we all had to wake up early because we wanted to make sure not to waste the good weather (the sea's always a lot more windy from 12 pm onwards). the waves even at 6 am is pretty scary (i might be biased since i have thalassophobia heh) but everywhere you look it's just endless nice blue ocean and tiny empty islands dotting green here and there, it was beautiful!
our first destination is Padar island. where the main attraction is this photo spot on top of the hill with three different beaches as the view. to reach it, we had to climb 815 steps and somehow out of all four in the family, only i made it all the way up 😂 but oh boy it counted as a strenuous exercise for me since i don't workout, but i made it anyway after 30 mins! so i took photos and thankfully there were rangers who helped take pics for me. spent a good ten minutes up there before going back down.
next island is a carefully selected one from the many mini islands by our captain that has 'pink' beach. it's actually a trick of the eye because what's causing the beach sand to look pinkish in color is just smithereens of red corals scattered everywhere. again, it's beautiful and you can do snorkeling here but i was too lazy so all i did was play at the beach and drink coconut water hehehe. we spent almost an hour there to rest (mind you, 815 steps up and down is no joke) before resuming the trip.
third stop is the one and only Komodo Island!!! there you'll find the Komodo National Park where you can hire a guide/ranger to show you where the komodos are. there's an option to explore and hike further into the woods but my parents chose the shortcut track to just go see the komodo. we found a big, chunky one! everyone took turns to take a picture with it, and since it was noon the komodo was sleeping 🥺 i know they can kill you in an instant but they're still so cute 🥺
our fourth and final stop is Kanawa island. much like any other islands in the area, its focal tourist spot is the beach and the sea surrounding it. we had our lunch at the little port attached as we treat our eyes with the view, feeding the fish right below our feet with our leftovers. actually, there were other islands we can go to, but because it was already 1 pm and weather forecast saying it'll rain on the afternoon, we decided to head back to the main island. every other islands are pretty much offering the same thing, and we don't plan on swimming or diving or snorkeling, the sun was super duper scorching hot (our skin got considerably a shade darker even when we already put on sunblock shades and wore clothes covering almost everything) and we were tired anyway, so yup. i think we got back at the hotel at around 2 pm and we all fell asleep 😂
the rest of the trip was spent with, yes you guessed it right, eating!!! being literally so close to the ocean, the popular food choice is seafood. we ate loads of things and tried the local cuisines. local best food is se'i and i think it was the best se'i i've ever eaten in my whole life (yet, so far)
by now you probably can tell (or already established the fact) that my family mostly do touristy & culinary things before staycation-ing because we just don't have that much energy lol so yeah. the next 3 days days we just spent it at the hotel, sitting at the balcony watching the sea and sunset, the harbor, the ships... it was so peaceful, serene, and that's the kind of life i strive to have. maybe one day.
the irony is after we went back to Jakarta, all of us caught cold and flu! i think it was the temp fluctuation (the sun was hot yet the weather is super windy and cold) and i took a week off from work 😂 so yeah, that's how i spend the last week of November and the first week of December leisurely hehehe.
really can't believe it's almost the end of 2022 already. it's been a year since i graduated as a dentist also. time passing is always a mystifying wonder to me, and i can never stop being in awe. i'm a quarter of a century old now! so many things have gone swallowed by the past and seem to be so, so far away from me now. i'm trying as best as i can to enjoy everything i have at the very moment, so it'll somehow lessen the pain when all i can do is to think of them from my memories.
but yeah, we're looking forward. let's see what the future holds, shall we?
edit on 03/02/23: omg i forgot to mention that first week of November is marked with me finally meeting my senior high school friends that i haven't seen/talked to for years!!! it's just a bunch of 4 peeps and what's funny to me now is that we're not alike in any way whatsoever it's like a jumbled mix. but it worked out well? i'm so happy to meet them, and i'll see them again February 12th 2023 (i'll write about this on the Feb '23 post) we went to the mall for lunch, it was a all-you-can-eat day and we talked a lot... it was a good day :) it's quite hilarious the fact that most of the things that find its way back to me are always occurring in the most unexpected way possible 😂

It hurts too much
Tumblr media
A/N: Hi! So I haven't posted anything on Tumblr in forever but I was trying and I lost all my motivation. I was struggling with my mental health. Still not great, maybe worse but it's fine. I'm going to use this post to cope with something that I struggled with recently with a guy I really liked. So this is not going to have a happy ending and it's not gonna be happy at all. I do hope u guys like it though. Also all the characters belong to J.K. Rowling or Yasmine an you belong to yourself.
Pairing: short!chubby!fem!reader x Mattheo Riddle
Warnings: English is not my first language, angst, swearing
Masterlist
"Has anyone seen my notebook? I think I misplaced it," You asked as you walked up to your friend group in the Great Hall. It wasn't that big of a group, it was Pansy, You, Draco, Lorenzo, Theo, Blaise, Mattheo and Jacob.
"You left it in my dorm last night," Mattheo said as he pulled it out of his bag, "Before any of you fuckers say anything, she was getting my notes on potions since McGonagall pulled her out of class yesterday."
"Right," Enzo said causing you to roll your eyes. It's always been like this. You and Mattheo were friends and that was it, nothing more, nothing less. You didn't look at him like that and you sure as hell knew he didn't look at you like that.
Later on that day you and the rest were in the Slytherin common room, of course you were all Slytherins.
"I still remember how we use to prank our parents when we were little," You said as you looked at Draco. You basically grew up together, you and Draco were always together, since 1st year. Then Pansy and Blaise came in during the 1st year and the rest came in one year at a time, Mattheo was the first to join after Blaise and Pansy. He joined during the 4th year and ever since then you two were joined at the hip.
You two clicked, understood each other. Didn't even have to ask, just knew when the other was upset. There was never any feelings which made things a lot less complicated.
After a few hours of hanging out everyone else went to bed except you and Mattheo. You were reading a book and so was Mattheo. You two did this almost every night.
You were reading and in the corner of your eye you could see Mattheo looking at you.
"Have I got something on my face?" You asked as you looked around the room for a mirror. You turned your head back to Mattheo and suddenly his lips were on yours. You gasped in surprise which made him pull away.
You say there in shock, what the fuck just happened?
"I'm so sorry, I don't know what just came over me," He started apologising but you shook your head.
"Don't worry about it, it's fine," You said.
"I love you, Y/n," He said and you looked at him, "I have loved you ever since I met you. I tried to get over you, but you make it so hard."
"Mattheo..." You started but he cut you off.
"You don't feel the same way, do you?" He asked and you sighed.
"I'm sorry," You said and sighed, "I didn't mean to lead you on or anything."
"You didn't, don't worry about. Forget what I said, we wouldn't have worked anyway," He said and stood up and walked away
"Mattheo," You said but he was gone.
Ever since Mattheo confessed to you a few weeks ago. You couldn't get him out of your head. He was all you were thinking about, 24/7.
It only made it worse when he started acting as if nothing happened.
"Mattheo can we talk?" You asked one afternoon after potions.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Yeah, I just want to tell you something," you said and he looked at you in a way that signaled for you to continue, "Ever since you confessed to me I haven't stopped thinking about you, about us, about what we could be. I love you too, Mattheo."
He sighed and looked down, "Y/n, I'm sorry, but we are never going to work. I love you, but I just don't think this is going to work," He said and you felt your heart sink, "Sorry."
He then walked away leaving you alone with your heart in pieces.
Months later of pretending that nothing happened still doing the same things as always you started noticing that Mattheo was hanging around a girl a lot.
"So you and what's her name are pretty close now huh?" You smirked at Mattheo one night as you two were reading.
"Her name is Jenna and yes, I like her a lot," He said and it felt like you had been stabbed in the gut but you put on the biggest smile.
"Ooh lala, Mattheo has a girlfriend," You smirked and he rolled his eyes.
"Not yet, I'm asking her out tomorrow," He said, "Enzo and Jacob are going to be my wingmen."
"Let me know how that goes, I think I'm going to bed early," You said and stood up, "Goodluck, Matt."
"Thank you, N/n," He said and you left the common room trying your best not to cry.
The next day Jenna friendzoned Mattheo when he asked her out. He was hurt and you could see it but he didn't show it. You didn't push him into talking about it, you just left it.
It did bother you. He was so keen on asking her out and trying to make things work but with you he just pushed you away.
Okay fine you didn't love him at first but when you told him you loved him, he admitted to still loving you but he pushed you away.
Yet he knew that Jenna didn't really like him but he went for it and asked her out.
"I've been hurt before but this is the worst," You said to Pansy one day while you two were sitting in the grand hall waiting for the boys to arrive.
"He's an asshole, I wish you just tell me who he is so I can fuck him up," She said.
"Who are we fucking up?" Jacob asked as him and the boys sat down.
"The guy who broke Y/n's heart," She said.
"Who is he? What did he do?" Draco asked.
"He told her he loved her, she didn't feel the same but after a few weeks she went back and told she loved him too, he admitted to still loving her but he didn't think things would work and then he went after another girl and he asked her out. He didn't ask Y/n out but he asked the girl out after only knowing her for like a week or two," Pansy said and you looked at her while she was explaining because you could feel Mattheo's eyes on you.
"The guy is a fucktard, you are gorgeous and you are just an amazing person. Any guy is lucky to have you, it's his loss," Enzo said and you gave him a thankful smile.
"Maybe the guy just got so overwhelmed when you told him you loved him that he panicked and said it wouldn't work," Mattheo said making you roll your eyes.
"Him being overwhelmed doesn't justify the fact that he told me he loved me, kissed me and then just told me it wouldn't work. If you really love someone you wouldn't give up on them," You said as you looked at Mattheo.
"It does if they got scared of losing you as a friend if something goes wrong the relationship," Mattheo argued.
"Well he should know me well anough by now to know that, that's never going to happen," You said.
"You don't know that," He said, his voice getting a little louder.
"I do, I told you. No matter what, I don't want to lose you," You practically yelled. Everyone was now looking at you two. You sighed and stormed out of the grand hall and Mattheo followed.
"Tell me, just tell me one thing," You said stopping and turning around to face him once you two were in an empty corridor, "You hesitated to ask me out but didn't hesitate to ask her out, why? Is it because I'm not pretty like her? Or as skinny?"
"Y/n, she deceived me. Wrapped me around her finger. She used me. Plus I don't care what you look like. It has nothing to do with body shape or your looks. You always look beautiful to me. I just doubted myself and over thought. I wanted to get those thoughts outta my head and it made my feelings for you disappear. Not entirely but it's not as much anymore," He said, "I forced myself to forget about you because we never would've worked and that's where Jenna came in."
"We don't know if it could've worked because we never tried," You said, "And we won't either, because like you said, it won't work. "
You walked away from Mattheo, both your hearts in pieces, tears running down your cheeks. That was the last time you saw him.

Priceless Treasure (Yandere Leona x reader x Yandere Jamil)
Tumblr media
Brought to by @swirly-writes and I
✨Simps✨
Post.
And my bestie's BIRTHDAY OCTOBER 13th I MISSED IT LAST YEAR I WILL NOT FORGET TODAY. Well I got it wrong oh well the gift is early.
Warning: slightly suggestive toward the end.
It was fun to be doted on. Especially since the two condemned to second place hadn't been by their own families. Not only that but the one who was doing the doting was seriously naive on the matter itself.
How she was being taken advantage of by the two manipulative minds who leisurely adored being cared for by her or just having her attention in general. The two secretly had a war to try and garner more affection.
Of course as oblivious as she was on the matter of declining Jamil when Leona had already pulled her down for a nap after pretending to be annoyed by something, he never said what. Then there were times where she'd be invited to their morning magicgift practice to see Leona strangely go all out for once. Of course it was unusual to have someone in the stands cheering him on as well early in the morning.
Vice versa with Kalim inviting her over to Scarabia only because Jamil subtly mentioned it on the side. They'd stargaze sometimes and he'd convince her to come flying with her on the carpet. Of course she'd cling to him in fear of falling, which made it all the more worth it. Not to mention seeing her eyes light up at the view itself. This little war of their's was rather childish but neither side was willing to throw in the towel just yet.
Another day at lunch this time in the cafeteria where Jamil usually had the advantage as Kalim and him would never eat the cafeteria food but sit in there to eat food he made. Leona just so happened to be awake enough to go there that day. Their lovely little Y/n was sitting at a table on her own looking pretty tired for once which isn't her usual cheerful motherly type behavior.
Of course that's just when the both pairs of Jamil and Leona's eyes happen to wander to the head of h/c hair laid out on the table.
"Woah is that Y/n? Are you okay? Why do you look so worn out?" Kalim's voice woke her up from the nap she had been taking.
"I stayed up studying for Trein sensei's test yesterday. I still don't feel like I passed even after hours of studying-" She finished with a yawn. She did in fact lift her head but she was too tired to open her eyes at the moment.
"Trein sensei's test are always hard, I swear he makes every subject he teaches a living hell for his students." Ruggie joined in taking a seat.
While the two who had their gaze on her remained silent after hearing her dilemma they worked out how to help her in her head.
"Ruggie go get her and me some food." Leona had already given his order without directing his gaze off of the girl in question. Ruggie took the initiative to not question it seeing as he already knew about their little secret war going on above the girl's head.
"Thank you but you didn't have to Leona."
"You don't even look like you'd be able to stand in line that long before collapsing little herbivore." He nonchalantly said looking at her sleepy face with a small smirk of triumph.
Kalim had insisted on getting Jamil food today to make up for eating the food he had made prior to. Though usually Jamil would have protested he didn't today. Seeing such an opportunity to talk to the girl but also letting his rival take it away from him as well, wasn't sitting well with him.
Across the table Leona and him glared at each other silently across the table having already known each other's motivation.
"Don't you have ancient incantations?" Jamil started off by saying to her.
The girl hummed in a yes like tone answering her friend.
"Tch, that's what your failing, if you need help that badly why don't you ask for a tutor?" Leona rudely commented in an arrogant tone. It twisted Jamil's insides but of course Leona didn't hide his hidden smirk from him.
"I could teach you. I take it currently." Now that smirk had become a frown at Jamil's offer.
"Aren't you busy with Kalim? I wouldn't want to add more to your plate?" This was one of the reasons he loved her. She seemed to actually be aware of the tribulations he faced and even confronted him about it. Though she is a bit airheaded when it comes to her kindness thankfully it wasn't as airheaded as Kalim.
"It wouldn't benefit her to be interrupted every time you have to go play babysitter." The retort was uncalled for but definitely not a first for Leona.
"She wouldn't get far having a lazy lion teach her either." Jamil could feel his facade dropping and it being replaced by anger for a split second before he heard the little jingle of the bell on his hair charm that brought him back to his senses.
"It's fine with me having two tutors, but I don't want to hold back either of you with your daily chores either." Her voice cut off the next retort as she sat up stretching.
That's how they both became her tutors, competing for more of her attention.
Neither of them ever seemed to get far though as her being so airheaded and innocent as an angel placed a wall between them getting closer. It annoyed them to no end, not being able to have something because someone else took it or a barrier was placed preventing them from succeeding it was their life story.
They'll be damned if they let it happen again.
* * *
Leona's tutoring session was actually productive what was surprising was the fact that he stayed awake the entire time. Well, he kept his eyes closed and propped up his head with his arm.
His ears would twitch occasionally. When she would ask him questions, he would either answer it with eyes closed or open a single eye to answer it himself. The first time however was not how it went.
He was asleep, deep into sleep while Y/n was on the couch in his room frustrating herself with what main words are common in incantations. After being stuck on the question for several minutes. She decided to go and ask for help. Only to find the ‘help’ asleep at this time.
At first she called out to him, it was met with light snores from the lion. His ears didn't twitch either. So she tried whispering his name near his ear, hopefully to not upset him when he woke up, she already knew how much he disliked being woken up.
The second after she spoke his name right by his ear, her wrist was grabbed as a responsive measure. Emerald eyes stared into her soul with slight irritation.
"What do you think your doing?" A growl had already formed in his throat as he asked the question.
"I was just trying to wake you up so you could help me with this question." Her words were rushed without much consideration she handed him the paper.
He glanced at it before quickly telling her the answer and letting her get to it. Now that she wasn't near him though the thoughts piled in his head of that situation vividly replaying in his head.
It's the fact that a little herbivore snuck up on him without his knowledge. Not to mention just how close she was to smell her scent and feel her warmth radiate. It was bothering him for the rest of the session. In her presence he was far more comfortable then he liked to be.
'Doesn't that herbivore know toying with a predator is dangerous?'
He peaked open an eye to steal a glance at her from his spot on his bed. She was busy looking at the sheet she was working on to notice.
'Tch, of course she doesn't she's too much of an airhead to even realize what she did.'
* * *
With Jamil's tutoring session he had forced Kalim to go to sleep with Snake Whisper to not be disturbed. It was surprisingly calm and quiet without the intervention of the troublesome dorm head. He’d either tire of studying, try and play music, find ways to distract her from the simple task of studying. Thankfully he had planned for every contingency.
He knew for a fact this would mean nothing and be platonic all the way through. It annoyed him but he tried to spend time racking his brain for an answer. He kept taking side glances as they both did their homework together.
"Y/n look at me for a second." He said nonchalantly and with no spell involved she looked directly into his eyes with a hum of acknowledgement accompanying it.
Seeing those eyes of hers a couple of ideas ran through his mind about how he could do to easily change that mind of hers but he was sure Leona wouldn't allow him to have his way. He must have been thinking too long since she had grabbed his chin and got a bit closer to examine him.
"Jamil are you okay? If your not feeling alright, let me take care of you!" She asked as if she wasn't aware of what she was insinuating with her actions.
Of course he knew that already but that didn't stop his face from heating up as hot as the dessert sun from the proximity. It both frustrated and intoxicated him, leaving a sudden urge to take what he wanted on a whim. He murmured two words under his breath trying his best to focus for second to get a straight coherent thought through.
"You look tired Y/n. Wouldn't it be best if you get some sleep?" It wasn't a question more of an order that made her eyes slowly droop and body fall over to the side Jamil was sitting on weightlessly.
Now that he had enough rationale to think he covered the bottom half of his face with his hand breathing out shakily with the unfading blush prominently there. He couldn't get it out of his head, the scene kept playing over and over.
'"Let me take care of you!" So she says. Are you seriously saying that to a guy? I might have to rethink that naivete of yours compared to Kalim.'
He looked back down at the girl laying so vulnerably on his lap sleeping peacefully still. Then his thoughts drifted back to Leona. This little war would be never ending and even if he trapped her here Leona wouldn't just admit defeat. He was about to lose it over her, mentally damaging his head like this with that adorable airheaded expression, much different from Kalim in which he got annoyed from. The fact of the matter was that they still remained friends. It was killing him.
She was one of a kind that was for sure. It got him thinking.
'Although, such a priceless treasure couldn't not be shared right?'
* * *
Feeling two hands gently carress her hair well one was gentle while the other played with it in a more taunting manner. The female slowly stirred from her slumber. Opening her eyes to see a familiar ceiling.
"Savanaclaw? But I was in Scarabia last ..." She sat up from the bed holding her head trying to remember what happened last.
"How crude she didn't take notice of either of us first." The sudden playful tone made her flinch looking down to see Leona who had been laying down for a moment before sitting up to fully look down at her with a smirk.
"That's how it's always been, nothing more than friendly taunts." Jamil had joined the conversation taking her gaze off Leona to acknowledge the smirk on his face as he lazily sat on the bed licking his lips at the sight of her confusion.
"How naive, not to mention dense." Leona had berated her without remorse. It contrasted his usual demeanor that was sleepy and nonchalant half the time. He hadn't insulted her too harshly before but this was just condescending.
"Guess that's what we fell for." Jamil's voice cool stated wrapping his arms around her neck to cage her in and bring her closer to his chest.
"Who knows? That maybe true." Leona had taken both her arms wrapping them around her neck as if to prevent Jamil from keeping her to himself.
He relented letting Leona go first but moving his hands down from her shoulder area. Hands trailed down her hips slowly tracing her sides eliciting a gasp from the female between them.
That's when Leona took the initiative to try and claim her lips. Slipping in his tongue grasping her chin to keep her place, though Jamil was already holding her waist from behind.
He added pressure to deepen it. The thoughts on his mind drifted to that innocent tease she did in their tutoring session that had him losing sleep even after her departure. Oh he was going to make her regret it.
When he finally broke off she felt a tad bit dizzy, with the lack of air she had obtained. Her face practically glowing red with heat.
"What's wrong has the little herbivore lost her tongue? Don't tell me your so innocent to be that taken by a kiss, it's not the only thing we have planned y'know." The smirk on his face was filled with, what's the word? Lust, no one gazed at her like that before.
She didn't have much time to think as Jamil had turned her head to get a look at her face from the side.
"What's wrong dear, Y/n your all red? How about I help fix that?" She didn't get the chance to respond to his mocking as he had already dove in for another steamy kiss. Instinctively just as before she closed her eyes.
He brought her closer soft hand shifting from her chin to cupping her cheek. The other occupied her hair straning through it making her relax a bit more at the sensation.
Already at a loss of air it wasn't long before this kiss made her feel light headed. It seemed he realized this and Jamil broke the kiss before she could fall unconscious.
The airy atmosphere of Savanclaw did nothing to cool her face, especially not with the hungry gazes of two pair of eyes. It made her want to shrink down into nothing on the bed she woke up on.
"Aawww, seems I only made it worse. You looked so cute I just couldn't resist having to try you for myself." She flinched at his words. Trying to muster a statement was hard as head was spinning with questions and thoughts, and blurred mixed messages.
"W-wha?" Was all she managed to say.
"How convenient Leona, she's far more submissive than we thought." Jamil admired the girl's dazed expression with his own steel orbs, soaking in every detail.
"That's the adorable innocence in 'er making her that way. It justs makes it all the more easier." Leona was having fun seeing the dense female play into their hands so fittingly brought on hunger in his emerald eyes.
Though her gaze wasn't focused on either of them, yet it didn't stop her from hearing them both simultaneously speaking.
"Our dear priceless treasure we won't be sharing you with anyone else."

wayv members reacting to you pecking their lips to shut them up

genre: crack (?), tiny bit angst, fluff, soft members
word count: 1,6k
a/n: I would like to apologize for probably making you wait for so long. I never actually got the notification and for some reason I never checked my inbox.. Also, my first reaction ever! Yay! I hope you guys like this since English is not my first-language, and I'm still learning. Enjoy!
Tumblr media
⌜ kun ⌟
"and them not listening to me just annoyed me more-"
Kun had been ranting about his members for what felt like forever now. No offense to him, you loved hearing his angelic voice and could listen to it for hours but you had been very boyfriend starved lately. All you wanted to do was to cuddle your adorable boyfriend. Though, you just let him rant because you knew he needed it sometimes. He kept talking for a bit more and it went actually well. But all of sudden, you just felt like you couldn't wait anymore.
"So I snapped and-"
Kun's eyes widened as you cupped his face and pecked his lips. He smiled when you pulled away and wrapped his arms around your face, nuzzling his head in the crook of your neck. He placed a gentle, barely-there kiss on your neck. He inhaled your scent heavily, taking as much as he can. Kun lived for moments like this and they were his favorites out of all the moments he shared with you.
"You could've told me you were bored!" he scolded you jokingly.
⌜ ten ⌟
You really thought it would be a great idea to cook with your boyfriend but all he did was sitting on the counter as you did all the job. He was making these weird vegetable puns he found on the internet. Even though they were funny, you had been listening to this for almost an hour now.
"Hey, babe?" Oh, you heard this kind of babe before. The kind of babe he uses to tease you.
"No puns Chi, no puns." To give a threatening aura, you slowly raised the wooden spoon that you were using to stir the haricot beans in the pot. Ten chuckled and put his hands up as if he was surrendering.
"I swear it's not a pun." You could sense the mischievous tone in his voice, yet you decided to ignore it.
"I just wanted to say that you’re a wonderful human bean-" His joke was cut off by your lips on his. When you quickly pulled away and continued stirring, he smiled at himself. He was feeling something that he felt for the first time in his life. He sure kept making puns just so you could keep shutting him up with your lips.
⌜ winwin ⌟
Sicheng was very excited about WayV's comeback. He had been talking about the M/V, the outfits, the choreography, the song for days. Right now, you were in the living room, as he kept talking about the comeback while you were trying to get his attention. You kept cutting his words off but he never actually heard you, despite sitting right in front of you.
"-oh and the choreography is so cool! It matches the whole aesthetic perfectly."
"Sicheng I broke your favorite mug."
"The outfits are kind of revealing but I wanna step out of my comfort zone so I really like them!"
"I burned the stuff in our memory box."
"Everyone else looks very good too!"
"Sicheng I'm breaking up with you."
That's it, you thought.
"They wanna dye my hair but I don't know if I want my hair to be dyed-" He was cut off by your lips, which were gone barely a second later. Sicheng opened and closed his mouth a few times, obviously wanting to say something but not being able to say it.
"I think I got a bit too excited," he finally managed to say and mumbled, "Can I get another one though?"
⌜ lucas ⌟
You rubbed your eyes and leaned over to your phone resting on your nightstand. With a little click on the power button and the overly bright screen, you read 02.38 am. Yukhei was obviously still in-game with the dreamies, as you could hear him yelling in the room right next to you. With a groan, you got up and slipped your shirt on. You were sleeping topless since it was summer and very hot, but his camera could be on when you entered the room. You walked to his room, not even bothering to knock since his door was wide open. If you're going to yell at two in the morning, at least shut the door you thought. Entering the room, you saw Yukhei furiously clicking on his mouse and keyboard. You walked up to him as he kept yelling at the dreamies over his microphone.
"Donghyuck he's right on your le-" He suddenly stopped clicking, trying to process what the hell just happened. You had bent his head backward and pecked his lips, then left casually as if you didn't just cause him to blush. He quickly gathered his thoughts and mumbled a quick excuse and apology to the dreamies. Turning his computer off and running to your shared room, all he could do was thinking of you two cuddling and kissing, giggling like a high school girl at the thought of that.
⌜ xiaojun ⌟
You and Xiaojun started dating a few weeks ago, so your relationship was still very fresh. Being an idol and living with 6 other males sure gave him a lot to talk about. His talkative nature didn't really help with that. You guys were on another date, at your house. You were making popcorn for your movie night since you guys couldn't go out risking Xiaojun's career just like that. Xiaojun was helping you by preparing some drinks he saw on YouTube a few days ago.
"Then Ten threw his slipper to Yukhei for calling him a garden dwarf!" You laughed and glanced at him. He looked so happy telling you about the guys. As if he was telling you about his family, which you were sure it was at this point. You were having a great time, but Xiaojun had a curfew that he was supposed to not pass. Even though you knew it wasn't intentional, he kept talking and stopping what he was doing to show you what happened with his gestures. You thought maybe if you waited 10 minutes, he would just stop. But of course, he didn't. After thinking of a nice way to cut him off, you finally thought of something.
"Ten chased Yukhei around the dorm like tha-" You pecked his lips, pulled away, and smiled.
"I love hearing you talk Junnie, but I really want to watch this movie before your curfew ends."
He snapped out of the little shock state he was in and quickly began to stir the drinks, which he was supposed to do 10 minutes ago. While stirring, he giggled and shook his head. The fact that the first kiss you two shared being an 'i will kiss you to shut you up' kind of kiss made his heart do backflips and it definitely was something he could never forget.
⌜ hendery ⌟
Hendery was teasing you for losing a game of Mario Kart. Pretty normal, right? Yeah, if only that didn't happen two days ago. This was his third day of endlessly teasing you. At first, you laughed it off. He rarely ever beat you, so you didn't want to pop his happy bubble. It's the third day, and you were visibly annoyed. You sometimes beat him at the stuff he's very great too, but you never actually took it this far.
You guys were sitting in the living room, just chilling while you watched some weird tv show, where the contestants were married couples and competed for a car. A couple you had been supporting was a few points ahead, whereas Hendery's team was losing. He sighed and faked a pout.
"They're losing like you playing Mario Kart." after his comment, he smirked and turned to you. "Get it? Cause you lo-"
Eyes wide, blinking rapidly he was looking at you. You went back to watching the show like you didn't just smash your lips against his harshly. He gulped and quickly turned to tv, pulling his hood up to hide the furious blush making its way up to his ears from his neck and face.
⌜ yangyang ⌟
"Yang, please don't cry... It breaks my heart to see you like this." You put your hand on his cheek but he harshly tugged it away.
"No! They're right. I'm useless. I can't believe I actually called myself an idol on that interview just before my voice cracked when they asked me to sing. I couldn't even dance properly to the song they gave me! My manager had every right to call me names!"
You shook your head and cupped his face, making him look at your face with his glossy eyes and red nose. He was so innocent, so pure and those 'managers' were doing nothing but ruining his confidence. Weren't they supposed to help them improve and keep them motivated? Then what was all of this?
"Yang, don't say stuff like that about yourself ever again. You are the most talented person I've ever known. Every artist, scratch that, every human has a bad day where their body doesn't feel like dancing or singing or doing something in general. You can't blame yourself because of that. What actually matters is you holding your head up high and showing them what you've got in there. You always have other performances to prove yourself.
But, that didn't seem to work on your beautiful boyfriend. He just shook his head side to side, mumbling little "no's"
"No, I should just go back to where I came from the way they told me t-" Not letting him finish that sentence, you put your lips on his. You two stood like that until you ran out of breath, eyes closed with his hands over yours that were cupping his face. When you pulled away, he let a few tears spill. Wiping them off with the back of his hands, he just pushed you on your back on the bed you were sitting on. He rested his head on your stomach and tried to fall asleep with his eyes closed. Even though you guys didn't talk about it, you knew he was feeling better about himself. And he did. He had you on his side, after all.

Series Masterlist 
"Good job you two! This is all yours now.”
Dream had led you and Eret back to the castle, all of them still battered and bruised from the war they recently had. You had already taken off your armor and now you were wearing underneath your L'Manburg outfit that was torn and burnt showing some of your skin which was also burnt or cut. You had noticed on the way to the castle that Dream had kept on looking at the outfit that Eret and you had on with disgust, like a taunt.
You could finally relax in the huge castle that you apparently deserved because you and Eret had taken the first lives of the citizens of L'Manburg. In your heart you knew that L'Manburg was still a country. They all have two more lives and they will build the country up again with those two lives. You sighed then kept walking into the throne room. you looked at the two big thrones that sat next to each other. One for a king and one for a queen.
"Why are you standing there? Sit down! Relax!" Dream patted one of the thrones.
You and Eret had sat down on the thrones next to each other looking around the huge throne room and Dream smiling right in front of them. Once you both sat down you tried to sit up straight, but you wanted to slump down into the comfy, plush, velvet and gold chair. The two of them sat on velvet and gold thrones while in burnt and torn L'Manburg uniforms. It was a sight to see, and if someone didn't know the context of what just happened, this scene would've made sense to them.
"I'm happy you did this. You deserve all of this." Dream said while walking along the marble floor.
"It's beautiful, but I'm exhausted." You let your head fall to the side. You sighed wanting Dream to leave so you could finally get some rest.
"I bet."
"Eret are you okay?" You spoke up after Dream.
Eret had a look that you couldn't make out. He just stared off into space in his own mind. He shook his head after you called for him again.
"Yeah, yeah I am fine. I'm just thinking." Eret quickly responded.
"What are you thinking about?" Dream said in a monotone voice.
"If we did the right thing." Eret sighed.
You slowly nodded because you were thinking the exact same thing. They were traitors, you had built somewhat of a connection with those people you helped kill. And now what? you're living in a huge castle and apparently you "Shouldn't be feeling this way", Dream claimed.
"You two are overreacting. They are fine." Dream said bluntly while staring at them with a straight face.
That was a huge lie, their lives were taken today. They're not just “fine”.
"You two were never a part of that place anyways. This is your home! Why would you need to wear those hideous colors? They look bad on you, it's unflattering. There is no need to go back." Dream explained.
You hang your head not knowing what to say to the man, there wasn’t really anything to say but you spoke up hoping the words will come to you.
"I don't-"
"You don't have to say anything, it's okay. You're safe now. Did you get hurt?" Dream asked.
The bruises and scars said differently.
"Remember when I said that?" Dream pushed the question.
You rubbed a burn mark on your wrist and laughed a bit. "No! Actually I don't. We're safe now, but that doesn't mean we aren't hurt." You chuckled in disbelief.
"Well maybe if you listened to me you wouldn't be so anxious. If you listened you wouldn't have been so hesitant. You're safe." Dream said sternly.
"Maybe you're tired, Dream. We're all tired. Shall we go to bed?" Eret stood up and held out his hand to help you up from your seat.
You accepted his hand and started to follow Eret through the huge castle making your way through the huge, high ceiling halls. The three walked towards the king's and queen's room in the castle, Dream kept a slower pace and walked behind the two wanting to get one more word in before leaving the castle.
"If you two are ever in doubt just remember that you are on the right side of history." Dream said then turned around to leave the two alone.
You both stopped and turned around to see Dream’s back facing the both of you as he walked away. You and Eret eventually made it to your new bedrooms. There was a big door which held a huge room made for the both of them to sleep in and two separate rooms next to the bigger door which were made for one person. Eret and you stood in front of the bigger door staring at the intricate designs on the door not speaking to each other.
"So?" Eret laughed.
"So!" You exclaimed while chuckling.
"Are you okay sleeping in that huge room tonight?" Eret asked.
"I'm not totally comfortable with that, but it would be weird if we slept in the same bed. Don't get me wrong! You're a great friend, but-"
"Y/N/N stop! I'm okay with that too. I wasn't looking to sleep in the same bed. Yes we're married, but we're just staying friends, hey we might get a divorce later." Eret explained.
"If I do, we won't be king and queen anymore." You said softly to your husband.
"Is that what you want? To be "queen"?" Eret asked while putting air quotes around the word queen.
You paused for a moment then answered his question.
"I don't know where I'm supposed to be, Eret." You looked up at him sadly and he pulled you in for a hug. It took you everything you had to not cry into the L'Manburg uniform Eret was wearing. Today drained you mentally and physically, your hands were raw from shooting arrows, you had burn marks on your skin and your feet hurt from running through the kingdom. You weren’t sure about where you would go, because this didn't feel like your home.
"Let's go to bed and we'll talk in the morning. Rest on it because I'll happily divorce you so you can find your place in this huge kingdom." Eret laughed and let you out of his arms.
You chuckled and then let him go walking into what was supposed to be the queen's room and right next to it was the king's room which they both walked in after saying goodnight and closing their doors finally having time to themselves after a long day.
You finally took off the L'Manburg uniform and laid it on a velvet chair in the corner of the huge room. You stared at the uniform before going to the nearest closet and picking out something to wear for that night. The queen's room was basically the huge couple's room that you found before, but just with a smaller bed. There were still trinkets, jewelry and even clothes in the closet. you took a nightgown out of the closet and sat on the plush bed. You ended up laying down staring at the high ceiling thinking of the predicament Eret's question brought.
You finally retired for the night and crawled into bed and got under the soft covers. The window was open so a soft cool breeze was blowing through the room letting the curtains flow with the breeze. If you left you wouldn't have anywhere to go except back to L'Manburg, they would never let you back even if you tried. They probably hated your guts by now, so maybe divorcing wasn't a good idea. You had a set home here, you had food, clothes, and you weren't under attack every minute. you didn't have to watch your back for any enemies.
Your mind slowed down as you finally lulled yourself into a deep sleep forgetting the troubles in your mind for only a moment.
-------------------
The sunset fell over the horizon making it a gold, red color. It was beautiful. The trees were illuminated and the lakes had a certain glow to them. you could see mobs began to crawl out of the ground and caves, but you was safe up here.
You looked down and saw the familiar obsidian walls. It seemed like a faint memory, but in reality the walls were real. It was like you could feel the stone underneath your feet at this moment. you could see inside L'Manburg.
you saw Tubbo and Tommy laying in the grass talking to one another. you saw Fundy sleeping in the grass next to them. There were two new faces you had never seen before. It was a woman with short pink hair and another man with a shaved head. It might've been your mind putting people in your dreams to fill space. Then you saw Eret sitting by a small river letting his bare feet flow in the water. It was a peaceful scene.
"Beautiful sunset isn't it?" A voice showed up beside you.
It was Wilbur. He had his uniform on, it was clean like the war didn't even happen.
"It is really beautiful." You agreed watching the sun continue to lower over the trees.
"You know everything the sun touches is yours? It's all of ours. It just so happens that you can see the sunset and sunrise from L'Manburg. You can do anything as long as you see the sun rise and fall." Wilbur said, keeping his gaze soft at the sunset.
You hummed but stayed quiet admiring his words and the sunset.
"Let me tell you what I wish I'd known when I was young and dreamed of glory. You have no control who lives, who dies, who tells your story. After you took one of my lives away I understand now. You can't control other people and their motivations."
You hang your head in disappointment, but then Wilbur continued.
"But I know that we can win. I know that greatness lies in you, but remember from here on in that history has its eyes on you. History will forever have its eyes on you no matter what you do." Wilbur looked into your eyes as the sun set on the two of them the stars began to shine.
The light brown eyes Wilbur had turned darker because of the sunlight being gone. You looked out back at the mobs in the forest and the huge towers in the sky made the kingdoms members. you turned around and looked into L'Manburg. Or what was considered L'Manburg.
There was no one there anymore, instead of people there were huge amounts of TNT that filled the walls behind them. you could hear faint voices around them, people that you didn't know. It sounded like chaos. you whipped your head around to Wilbur who was dressed in a brown tattered trench coat, brown pants, and a white shirt instead of the L'Manburg uniform.
He had a cigarette in his mouth and matches in his hands. He smirked at you as the voices around you got louder and your head sounded like you were in the middle of a tornado. your head was buzzing as your eyes couldn't focus on Wilbur in front of you. It felt like these moments were happening right in front of your all at one time.
"You want to be a hero Tommy?"
"You know if I die, this country goes down with me."
"if respect is the only thing protecting you from a knife in the back, then respect is nothing, right?"
"Kill me, Phil. Phil, kill me, Phil kill me! Phil, stab me with the sword, murder me now, kill me! Look-"
"You know Y/N" Wilbur started next to you. He lit a match and turned around to L'Manburg which was now filled with TNT.
"Somethings. Somethings were never meant to be." He threw the match into the huge pile of TNT and all in a second the obsidian underneath your feet disappeared as you fell into the explosion beneath you.
-------------------------
"Fuck! Where am I?!" You shot up from your sleeping position in a cold sweat.
You frantically felt around the bed trying to convince yourself that you were physically at the castle in your bed. You finally caught your breath and laid back down in your bed finding yourself staring at the ceiling again. Even with the window open blowing cool air into the room, your skin still felt hot. You ended up tossing the covers off of you and making your way towards the entrance of the kingdom to get some air.
That dream was so much stuff in it you couldn't comprehend all of it. It was like Wilbur was there as if he was talking to you directly and it wasn't a dream and it made you second guess yourself and think that it may have not been a dream. You finally made it outside and sat on one of the steps that led people up into the kingdom. you sighed and breathed in the fresh air and it immediately relaxed your body and mind. You were alive, you were here and sadly Wilbur wasn't there. You closed your eyes and felt the breeze around you until you were startled by a figure beside you.
"You're up late. I thought you said you were mentally tired." Dream chuckled sitting beside you.
"I had a bad dream." You sighed.
"Hey don't take my name in vain like that" Dream laughed trying to bring up your mood.
Dream sighed and stood back up when he didn't get a response from his companion.
"Come one, let's go. Let's get your mind off of the one bad dream." Dream held his hand out, gesturing to you to take it.
You took his hand and then released it letting him lead the way to wherever the wind may take them. The dream is currently still stuck in your head. The voices from different people confused you and made your head spin.
"You want to be a hero Tommy?" What did that mean? Was someone threatening Tommy? Will someone threaten Tommy? You grew to care for that kid.
Who said "If I die, this country goes down with me"? What country. L'Manburg?
"If respect is the only thing protecting you from a knife in the back, then respect is nothing, right?" That one stumped you the most. you didn't even know if this was being spoken to you or to someone else. All of them except for the Tommy one.
Were they all even dreams? The one that haunted your mind the most was the one where someone was telling a man named Phil to kill them. Were you there for that moment? Did Phil kill the person? Who was Phil? All these thoughts and questions plagued your mind so much that your feet mindlessly carried you wherever Dream led you to.
"Here we are." Dream led You on top of a hill, a tall enough hill to see the main attraction. The place you missed the most, L'Manburg.
Tears started to form in your eyes and you tried blinking them away. All the moments of that dream appeared in your brain, but even stronger. you never felt these emotions before. Maybe L'Manburg was your home all along. you missed seeing Tubbo, Tommy, Eret and Fundy doing their own thing while your and Wilbur had a deep talk inside the van. you had spent weeks with them growing too attached to them and then ended up becoming a traitor.
"That place. You never belonged there. You're too good for them." Dream started and you stayed quiet watching the stars begin to disappear.
"Do you trust me?" Dream asked.
You stayed quiet not having the answer he wanted to hear. He wanted to hear you say that you trusted him when in reality you couldn’t, you weren't fully there yet, not anymore. 
"They lied to you. It's not your home." Dream continued on letting you listen and not talk.
"How did you know if someone said it was my home or not?" You asked, startled.
"I might've been keeping an eye on you. I wanted to make sure my flower was okay." Dream kept his gaze on L'Manburg.
"Stop calling me that." You sighed.
"I never started. This was the first time I said that. Who called you flower?" Dream suddenly got serious, staring at you.
you kept your sights on the obsidian walls, not sparing him a glance. The stars began to fade and the sun peeked over the horizon. As they stayed longer the sun rose over the walls of L'Manburg. You started to remember the words in the dream you had.
"You know everything the sun touches is yours? It's all of ours. It just so happens that you can see the sunset and sunrise from L'Manburg. You can do anything as long as you see the sun rise and fall."
L'Manburg stands for independence. Independence. That word kept ringing through your head like a mantra until a few voices below the hill and near the walls alerted you.
"HEY! Hey Wilbur! Give me back my shit!" Tommy yelled as he stomped after the older man.
"Wilbur get Tommy to stop shouting and give him his swords back please!" Fundy yelled trailing behind the two.
"No not until he learns not to go start stabbing shit!" Wilbur yelled back at the other two.
You missed that. you missed the bickering and the nonsense they all shared. you were upset that Tommy still hadn't learned his lesson and you wished you were there beside them at that moment.
Dream spoke up giving you a look you couldn’t quite get. "You are never allowed to step inside those walls again.
"What gives you the right to tell me what and what not to do? Who does that make you? Who do you think-"
"YOU ARE NEVER ALLOWED TO GO IN THOSE WALLS!" Dream yelled getting dangerously close to you.
You continued to stare at those blue eyes as the bright sun rose over the dark walls of L’Manburg. you didn't say anything but descended down the mountain alone with the sounds of Tommy, Fundy, and Wilbur bickering in the background, wishing you were there and not next to the man next to you who was staring at you angrily.
"I know what’s good for you! I know what's good for this country! Just trust me Y/N!" Dream yelled starting an argument
"Would you calm down! You came here to be all quiet and now you're yelling at me. You might want to be quiet before Wilbur hears you. Or do you want me to get him myself?" You yelled back, getting furious.
"Oh you wish! He doesn't care for you as much as me, Sapnap and George do! They agree as well!"
"Don't put words into his mouth!" You accused
"Oh! So if he cares so fucking much he would've help save you. And do you know what would happen if he saved you?! You would've died! I saved you! You were in a perfect situation and all you had to do is not complain! You're always overreacting." Dream ended with a huff and rolled his eyes while turning away..
you were speechless at this point. Overwhelming emotions consumed you. you couldn't believe you were overreacting. Maybe Wilbur wasn't everything you needed. you were overreacting, you were being selfish too. Dream was right. Dream walked over to you pulling you in a hug with L'Manburg was still in your sights.
"I did everything because I love you. You're too precious for them, you're not for them. They don't deserve you, you deserve someone who wants the best for you. A flower that needs a home and I'm here to give it to you." Dream softly explained.
Your eyes kept tearing up at the words and different emotions flowing through you. The sights on L'Manburg make your memories and questions come back. Where did you belong? But more importantly who was telling the truth?
