Chestnut Stud across the Multiverse: Lost Phone
Tumblr media
Tracer paced herself as she commenced her early morning jog through the currently quiet streets of Satan City, any few passers by or locals out and about turning heads her way as she ran by. Really who could blame them with how hot she looked and her quite daring ensemble which out her petite yet toned athletic frame on display. But most,especially thst sweet,glorious, juicy jiggling booty of hers out here for all to see, truly it was a work of art. The sun making her sweating skin have a glistening sheen as the currently off duty scpd officer was feelin her adrenaline pumping, rushing though her veins and nerves as she passed through the city park. The scent of freshly cut grass lingering in the air before she paused,running in the spot as she noticed Something gleaming in the sunlight on the greenery as she bent over to pick it up. Quirking a brow behind her amber goggle shades as she found the mysterious item was a smartphone. Seems someone lost their cell, unlucky fellow, as she placed it in. A pocket of her shorts and finished her run, returning to the simple quaint apartment she shared with her girlfriend Emily who greeted her as she came in closing the door behind her. “Hey Lena,nice run this morning?”
Tracer shrugged her shoulders as she took off her headphones for her workout music run,placing them on the counter as she followed by fishing out the phone. Placing it on the coffee table as she began to do some post run stretches. Emily looking between the book she was reading and the sight before her as her lover casuall displayed her gymnastic quality flexibility. “Went about usual ‘til I got to the park and found this. Might drop it to the lost and found so the owner can come looking for it…” Emily simply nodded, purring as she sipped her coffee mug, looking back and forth between her reading material snd the wonderful view of her girlfriend’s backside. Those wonderful back muscles flexing and that meaty set of buns contained I thin those tight shorts. Especislly when she performed a splits, massaging her legs as she swayed back and forth. Humping and grinding her groin against the smooth floor while the freckled ginger babe tilted her head at the phone on the table. Curiousity overtaking her as she picked it up to examine it, looking it over as she found it was a simple press and swipe to unlock it. Perhaps something in its contents might give a clue about its owner, what harm in helping out her girlfriend right? The contacts list was certainly a puzzle, that was for sure. No.18,Bulma,chichi? Just among the few names that came to mind and they were on a list dubbed “Booty Calls”? Was the owner some sort of Casanova gigolo? Her curiosity continued to make her browse through the contents on this cell as she decided to check the gallery for any pictures or videos that might give more hints to this unknown fellow as she noticed they were separated into numerous folders. A few them entitled “For the Ladies’ only”, “Regulars”,”18′s surprises”, it made Emily all the more puzzled and curious all at once as she tapped the first folder. Eyes widening and jaw about to drop at the sigh before her, thumb swiping through the pictures before her.
““Oh my god, Lena you’ve to see this? I think this phone belongs to a guy and he’s got it loaded with dick pics…and this fellow is BIG!!” The ginger cutie quipped,eyes dazzling with a twinkle of Pervy mischief. Lena rolling her eyes at her other half being so casual in blatantly invading someone’s privacy. Even if Emily did seem so adorable being such a minx, omly for her girlfriend to hold the phone toward her and present the screen to her. ““Look at this,it’s like before and after,here he is relaxed and here he is when he’s all erect and hard…” she spoke with excitement as Lena widened her eyes in shock. Lifting her shades up to get a better look as she saw Emily hadn’t been kidding. None of their dildos had thst kind of length and girth on them, biting her lip as her face blushed. How did this guy find any kind of underwear to contain such a slab of meat? She couldn’t help but make her crotch hump and ground against the floor,her cameltoe rubbing thriugh her shorts against the delicious friction. Almost as if visualising and simulating what it’s be like to do the same against such a dick. No calling it just a dick didn’t seem right, this was definitely more of a cock. She’s met and locked eyes with her lover as they seemed to start having some silent, telepathic competition. Getting up from her splits as she sat beside her on the couch, the couple looked at the cellphone screen together and began to browse the folders thst clewrly had naughty pictures or videos. If this guy had pictures displaying snd showing off that prime piece of manhood, what else was on there?
“Bloody hell, I think I know that guy…” as she and Emily saw the owner of that titanic cock, some sort of shortstack but Herculean muscles fellow. Visible from head to toe,he wasn’t what you’d call overly macho handsome or a total pretty boy Prince but he sure as hell wasn’t ugly. And the women in the pictures and videos with him certainly weren’t complaining, not with how lustfully they deepthroated his cock or the expressions they wore along with the sounds they made as they outright mated with the guy. It was quite a variety some of which were threesomes and more, with a hot as hell blue eyed blonde babe showing up regularly and frequently throughout. Then it hit tracer where she knew him from, he was thst rookie cop in the department who was making his way up the ranks. They say he was super human,able to subdue and handle felons with just his own bare hands and what the deuce?! Some of the women in these pictures were fellow officers!! But wasn’t he married? Seems wifey didn’t mind at all and she could see why, the guy was a machine. As she and Emily shared another look, rubbing their thighs together as they felt arousal flowing down, all warm and sticky. Once more seemingly having a telepathic conversation as they grinned and shared a quick little kiss. Emily accessing the camera mode as she set it to switch between pictures and videos as her lover stood before her doing a little stretch to warm up and a sexy little dance. Her back to her as she bent her spine and stretched her arms above her head.
“Alright luv,let’s make a surprise for handsome….” The ginger cutie quipped sensually as Tracer looked over her shoulder with a saucy wink and smile. Daintily kicking off her shoes, thumbs hooking the waistband of her shirts as she shook and tweaked her ass at the camera. Those twin globes jiggling and shaking as they clapped like erotic thunder. Lowering her shorts to expose her ass, as she gave her fingers a sloppy lick and delivered a swift left to a cheek. Hissing at the delicious sting before she went and took her shorts off completely. Sticking her booty out towards her voyeuristic camera woman as her slit was exposed, her arousal glistening. Following uo as she removed  and threw her tanktop aside and turned around to present herself fully exposed. Hands running uo along her body as she began to caress and play with herself, showing off her flexibility as she did a standing splits and woild turn to shake her ass more than once. Emily snapping pictures or recording this striptease as the pair giggled, Lena licking her lips as she took the camera, blowing a kiss at the lens before she turned it around to show Emily on the couch. The freckled redhead babe giggling, unable to help herself stay calm at the naughty thing she was about to do. As she lifted up and pulled off her sweater, followed by unclipping her bra, shedding it to expose her freckled kissed perky tits. Jiggling them playfully as she got up from her seat, swaying her hips as she removed her jeans, panties and all. Doing sexy poses as she she blew kisses at the camera, twirling around to show off her own thicc, juicy curvy form as she displayed meat in all the right places. Before laying back onto the couch as she recline to spread her legs. Bending her knees as she presented her anal pucker and her gushing slit, fingers prying the netherlips to show off the most pink piece of heaven.
Tracer moved closer with the camera as she set it to selfie mode,turning it around as she sat beside her lover. Who wasted no time in caressing her pussy, moaning as she teased and prodded the sensitive pleasure spot. “Mm just look at this love. You got my girlfriend here all wet for your cock and she hasn’t even met you…” Lena sensually teased, as she and Emily shared a sloppy erotic kiss, adding plenty of tongue for their amateur camera show before eher ginger lover took the camera to aim it at her pussy in turn. The bootylicious officer moaning deepthroated gasps and cries of passion as she played with herself. “Aaahn if You wouldn’t mind doing for us what You do all the women in your gallery…” the pair paused in their erotic session as they heard knocking on their apartment door, milt hitting pause on the video as they went to check through the spy hole who was interrupting them just when they were really hitting their stride. Emily looked first before looking at her lover with giddy surprise as she made her have a look see herself. There in the other side was the blonde and their compact stud who owned the cell phone. Though in some of the pics and vids he did have hair but thst was neither here or there,as Tracer opened the door enough for her and Emily to poke their heads through as the former spoke. ““Hey,what’s gong on? What can I do ya for?” The blonde with him quirked a brow as she seemed to notice their perspiration and blushes. All the while the shortstack fellow rubbed the back of his head nervously.
““Hey Uhm Lena right? It’s me Krillin,we work in the same precinct? Listen I kind of lost my phone and 18, Uhm that’s my wife here…” he spoke, gesturing to the blonde bombshell. So she was this no.18? And she not omly liked him sleeping around with other women but sometimes did them together with him? That just made their pussies so damn wet. Their naughty erotically hazed minds visualising the short king naked easily given their earlier voyeurism through the contents of his phone earlier. Seeing him up close and in person, he looked even better than his pictures implied. As he finished what he was saying, getting their attention again. ““She’d checked a tracking app earlier and it says it was here. So do you have it?” The couple looking at each other before they grinned and popped their heads back inside. Opening the door fully to allow Krillin and 18 to come on inside. Taking in the view and the decor as Lena spoke in response.
““Oh wouldn’t you know it? I think we got it right here. But see we have to be sure it’s yours so we need just one bit o proof to confirm you’re the owner alright.” Before Krillin could enquire what it was,he and 18 heard the door shut, turning to see Tracer and Emily naked as the day they were born. Saucy sensual smiles on their faces as tracer leaned against the door seductively while her lover dangled and waved the phone, taking delight in krillin’s aghast response, looking so cute with his eyes bugged out and his jaw looking ready to fall off and hi the floor. 18 on the other hand grinned a minx like smile of her own clewrly liking where this was going and what the implications were here as she fished out her own smart phone. Both her and Emily accessing the cameras  as Lena walked over with a predatory gleam in her eyes, leaning close to the shortstack fellow. At 5′4′’ to his 5′1′’ their height difference was a mere 3 inches as she draped her arms around his shoulders, face leaning in close to his, their lips inches apart. “I’m going to need to see that cock of yours..” soon as she said thst,she seized the advantage from his shock as she pressed her. Outh to his,catching him in a liplock. Emily purring as she licked her lips at seeing her girlfriend do Something so thrilling and taboo while 18 undid the buckle and fly of her own jeans, sliding down past the waistband to caress her own pussy. Icy blue eyes looking with voyeuristic intent as she watched Tracer’s tongue invade her man’s mouth, her hand sliding down along his shirt to grope and rub his crotch. The tomboy law girl purring as she could feel the prize contained within, as Krillin glanced at his wife with a silent plea.
“Now now Krillin only natural to go with the flow, give them the proof they asked for..” Krillin’s expression became deadpan at his wife’s teasing remark because of course this was happening. Sighing as he began to unbuckle and drop his pants, boxers and all, Emily and Lena gasping with sensual delight as they saw that gifted cock in the open, in all its lengthy,girthy flesh and blood glory. Despite his mood, his shaft began twitching and rising to soon stand so firm and erect, you could hammer nails into solid wood with it. Tracer purring as she got his shirt off of him and now had him as naked as she and Emily were, sloppily making out with the short king, tongues dancing as she grasped and began to stroke his fuckrod. Kissing her way down along that wonderfully sculpted physique of his, thinking to herself how did his uniform or clothes contain such a body before as she was soon kneeling on the floor, face level with that cock in her hand. Taking the plunge as she began to assault that shaft with kisses from head to base, not even leaving his smooth golfball sized gonads untouched. Licking,sucking and blowing on his meat as she took it into her mouth, making herself nearly suffocate in trying to see how much deepthroat she could achieve. Emily and 18 licking their lips as they played with themselves,watching Krillin groan and Tracer’s booty wiggle and shake. The blonde cyborg bombshell prepping and propping her phone on a counter as she let it continue to record, stripping herself naked and throwing her clothes aside as she went on over and around Emily. Getting behind her as she wrapped her arms around her waist, making the ginger beaut gasp with surprise and delight as 18 pulled her closer to her,their bodies pressing together as the deadly beauty captured her lips in a kiss. Reminding Emily of her presence in Krillin’s little porno collection on her phone was there for a reason as she gladly began to return the sloppy kiss, making out with her as their lovers got sexually acquainted.
Did they ever of course as the walls of the apartment soon filled with the echoing cries of Lena’s howls and moans of orgasmic passion and the slapping of skin on skin. “Ohh blimey yes!! Oh fuck me,right there!! Harder you stallion!!”Among such words whenever she could get her brain working to say some actual words and sentences as Krillin had her on her hands and knees as he fucked her doggy style. His cock jackhammering into her pussy as his hips pistoned away like a well oiled machine. The former monk turned law man’s primal switch flipped as Tracer’s lust was too good to resist. Eyes glued to her jiggling ass, an ass that’d been the source of much gossip and locker room talk. Unable to help himself as he suddenly withdrew his shaft, Lena pouting at feeling her pussy empty before a look of shock and surprise as she felt him penetrate her asshole!! Gasping as she came so hard, her pussy squirted like a geyser before she soon felt the momentum take her along,a look of ecstasy anf fucked stupid bliss forming on her face. “Oh god yes!! My ass!! you’re fucking my ass!! Dont stop fuck it,fuck my pussy!! my mouth!! it’s all yours luv!! fuck me hard then fuck Emily!!” She barked and howled as Krillin obliged her,pumping in and out of her donut hole before suddenly switching back to her pussy then vice versa. 18 and Emily keeping themselves occupied as they sat on the floor, pussies pressed together in a lewd kiss. Scissoring intensely as they watched their lovers go at it like animals in the heat of mating season. Emily soon having her turn as she rode Krllin cowgirl style, unable to stop her hips from moving as her pussy was invaded by the length and girth of his cock. Tracer and 18 on either side of her as 18 made out with her husband while Tracer played with her girlfriend’s tits and made out with her. The ginger cutie amazed and overwhelmed she was managing to stay concious taking such a massive shaft compared to the sort of toys she and Lena used on each other. The couple switching out or going 2 on 1 or 3 on 1 if 18 got in the mix whenever Krillin came and he didn’t cum easy enough. Oh no the man was a stamina machine and damn how long could he stay hard for? It was unreal as it was thrilling!!
Seconds became minutes which passed on their way to hours as Tracer found herself pinned on her own couch in a mating press, Krillin folding her like an accordion as he plowed and piledrove into her hungry,horny pussy. To Lena scissoring her lover as Emily’s head hung off the edge of the couch, taking a powerful facefucking from their new best sex friend to often having one sit on his face and the other riding his cock. Often times Tracer especially loved when he’d fuck her ass, making her booty cheeks jiggle and his the rush of his balls smacking her clit, especially when she’d be made to eat out either Emily or 18 especially when their pussies oozed with excess of Krillin’s jizz. The pair uncaring how much time passed, the high noon sun shining as they felt their final climax hit, slits and assholes overflowing with spunk as they joined 18 in delivering a triple team blowjob to Krillin, who sat on the couch like a king which to the cyborg babe wasn’t far off the mark. The compact stud shuddering and groaning as he came,his load erupting as he showered the horny couple and his wife with a healthy coating of his seed. Their faces and tits painted and their mouths catching their favourite treat as he went limp, his cock entering its relaxed state as Tracer and Emily got on the couch and sat between him. Sandwiching him and hugging him,planting idle butterfly kisses on his person as 18 picked up his and her phones. Ending the stream and placing them safely down,looking at the afterglow scene before her. “I’m just going to hit a shower,feel free to join me because we know that’s just round 1...and this isn’t going to be just a one time thing...” the deadly beauty quipped, Lena and Emily grinning with erotic delight. Who knew their day would go so well from the former finding a simple,single lost phone just this morning?

MLQC Season 2 Chapter 30: Day and Night (Kiro) Part 2 Translation [CN]
***WARNING*** THIS POST CONTAINS HEAVY SPOILERS FOR CONTENT NOT YET RELEASED ON EN SERVER!!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!***  
Previous translations of Season 2 Chapter 30: Part 1
Please excuse my comments/reactions (***) throughout the translations. There was so much going on in this chapter. 
[Disguise and Determination]
Tumblr media
In the silent car, I sat cramped in the passenger seat, occasionally sneaking peeks at Helios from the corner of my eye.
At the next turn, the scenery outside the window gradually became familiar. Seeing that I’ll be home in no time, I pursed my lips and decided to break the awkward silence.
Tumblr media
MC: What were you doing at GR?
Tumblr media
Helios: I should be asking you that.
He looked straight ahead with a blank expression on his face. I paused before speaking truthfully.
MC: I thought GR might have clues about the mechanical box so I went to investigate…
I suddenly remembered the last time when he told me to abandon those dangerous thoughts and sheepishly changed the subject.
Tumblr media
MC: Nevertheless, aren’t you guilty of being suspicious?
Helios: I only said that to deceive him.
Helios: I promised to help you with the investigation and I keep my word.
Helios: So until then, don’t act on your own.
There was a bit of anger in his voice but it couldn’t hide his worry.
I frowned as I looked at him. Seeing his distant profile against the backlight, my heart stung.
It seemed that every time he behaves like this, it’s to confront those with ill intentions.
It’s his disguise as well as his armor.
Tumblr media
MC: Are the guys in NW still after you?
He softly murmured the answer.
MC: And that’s why you’re posing as Helios?
Helios: On top of keeping out of sight, it also makes it more convenient for me to do things.
MC: So the reason they came after you…does it have something to do with that experiment video?
There was a brief silence and Helios stared at the blinking traffic light for a long time before speaking again.
Helios: They’ve been watching me for quite some time.
His hand instinctively went to his ear.
Helios: It’s just that I’m running out of patience.
My heart felt like it was being stabbed by something and the clues that I couldn’t understand before finally became clear to me.
That’s why he decided to get treatment during this time even if the method caused him so much physical pain.
He knew what he was doing and what it meant in the end.
All at once, I truly felt how powerless and frustrated I was at not being able to keep up with him.
Sunlight outlined his profile, revealing his determination and nothing seemed able to bring him down.
My mind’s made up—
I can’t leave him alone. Even if I can be of little help, just a little bit, I want to be with him.
Just when I was about to say something, my phone’s screen flashed suddenly and went black.
Before I could react, a blinking underline cursor popped up on the screen automatically typing out some letters—
“Hello.”
What’s going on…?!
I stared wide-eyed in shock and at the same time, I heard a soft jingle beside me like some kind of signal.
Tumblr media
I looked up and saw Helios’ face change.
He turned the steering wheel sharply, slammed on the brakes, and stopped the car firmly on the side of the road.
Then he took out a mini computer from the back seat and started tapping on the keyboard.
I stared blankly at his nervous, stern face realizing something crucial must have happened.
I looked at my phone again, only to find that the screen had gone blank again and then a line of black letters appeared like ripples on a lake—
“I can help you.”
My fingers squeezed the phone tightly in my hand as a cold sweat broke out on my back.
Without giving me more time to think about it, the screen flickered to black again and white words appeared.
“In ten minutes, you’ll find what you’re looking for here.”
In the next second, all the words shattered into a million pieces and then started coming back together, forming a pattern.
I wanted to restart my phone but found that all the buttons weren’t working. The broken pieces continued to piece together on the screen.
Is it a new Trojan virus? Or is someone remotely controlling my phone?
I bit my lip, waiting intently for Helios to finish what he was doing and ask his opinion. Abruptly, the sound of the keyboard stopped.
A cold touch suddenly grabbed hold of my hand.
Tumblr media
Helios: Did you get a message?
I gave him a worried look and saw his eyes widened. Many emotions I couldn’t make out swirled in his clear eyes.
His voice was full of urgency along with some unusual restlessness which made my heart beat heavily in my chest.
Tumblr media
MC: …Yeah. Some strange words showed up on my phone and now it’s like this. See?
I simply recited the text on the screen just now to Helios and he took my phone with a frown. Immediately, he connected it to the computer with a USB cable.
Noticing me staring nervously at him, his fingers on the keyboard halted and his eyes sank.
Helios: I’m tracking down the IP address that sent the message.
Helios: The person using this IP…
He paused.
Tumblr media
Helios: Might be KEY. ***👀👀👀 KEY IN THE MAIN STORY!?!?!***
[Silent Companionship]
I watched in disbelief as Helios pursed his lips, his eyes darkening as he looked at me.
Helios: Don’t you know who that is?
MC: I…
“Aren’t you KEY?” was on the tip of my tongue but I swallowed my question and suddenly realized something.
It’s unlike him to be so nervous and anxious which meant that the person he wanted to track must be important.
I instantly remembered a lot of our conversations we had in the past. Some serious and some not. Then, it slowly dawned on me.
This KEY must be Kiro’s master.
He quietly stared at me without urging me like he didn’t care or rather he already knew the answer.
Fine light casted over his silver hair making it sparkle. I thought about it and gave a firm nod.
Tumblr media
MC: I do.
MC: It’s not you so it can only be your master, the previous KEY.
Helios was shocked, not expecting me to be so frank. His pupils dilated.
MC: …I’ve seen reports about KEY in my dad’s notes.
MC: There are also a lot of rumors about him in BS. Some people say…he was the one who took you away.
MC: And you mentioned him before too when we were in the hunter game.
MC: So I did my own research…
I can’t help but feel a little nervous after saying this. Although these are facts, nonetheless, I kept the real source of the information secret.
Helios: Is that all?
His voice was very soft like a whisper. He sounded unsure and it seemed like he was unwilling to ask more.
I suddenly felt a little sad but in the end I could only blink my eyes hard and gave a light hum in response.
Around the same time, the computer beeped. Helios lowered his eyes and started typing on the keyboard again.
Lines of written code from the screen reflected in his eyes, giving me a warm sense of nostalgia along with some remorse.
Helios: My master just up and disappeared without warning four years ago and I’ve been tracking his IP.
Helios: The ringtone from before was specially designed for that. Once his device is online, I’ll get a signal.
Helios: So this is my chance to track him.
He spoke calmly but his shaky fingers betrayed his urgency.
Seeing his determination, I was reminded of that time years ago when I saw him like this, never giving up when he came across the perfect opportunity.
How many times did he have to experience disappoint to be so calm and skilled like he is now?
Feeling a bitterness spreading in my heart, I quietly watched him type out code after code until the pattern on the screen gradually became clearer—
A live view of the street was displayed.
I took a closer look and my eyes widened.
Tumblr media
MC: There…that’s the green belt trail near my home. Why is the map marked here?
I paused trying to process my thoughts.
If the person who sent the message is really KEY, then his words must have some merit.
But he said what I was looking for would appear here. What could that be?
Then it hit me.
MC: You keep tracking down the IP. I’ll head over there and have a look!
Helios: I’ll come with you.
He pointed at the fast-moving pages of numbers on the screen, put the mini computer in his pocket, and swiftly got out of the car.
Helios: I set up automatic tracking so if anything comes up, it will be immediately locked.
Helios: He did teach me after all.
Helios: So of course, I can’t afford to mess up.
Tumblr media
A black box glowing with white light is suspended in the air of the green belt. The eerie image contrasts sharply against the peaceful environment.
MC: I knew it, it’s the mechanical box!
The white light recedes and I couldn’t help thinking back on the mechanical box I stumbled across on the road earlier.
The memory of being attacked flooded my mind and I shivered. After looking around, I hurriedly reached out to take it—
My wrist was pulled back and Helios pushed me behind him.
He reached out, grabbed the black box in one swoop and weighed it a few times in the palm of his hand, looking at it in deep thought.
Tumblr media
MC: What does it feel like?
Helios: Quite heavy, nothing special.
I hesitantly stretched my fingers to touch it but Helios suddenly lifted his hand making me trip.
MC: Don’t lift it up so high. What if someone sees it?!
Tumblr media
Helios: Don’t worry. There’s no one within a few hundred-meter radius. On the way here, I hacked into the city surveillance network to confirm the area.
Helios: But it’s strange. Right now, it’s too quiet for a residential community.
After he said this, I noticed that the trails are indeed vacant today.
MC: Could it have something to do with the message I received?
Helios didn’t say anything which only confirmed my suspicions.
MC: Not only did the other person knew where the mechanical box would appear but also knew that I was investigating it.
MC: Even the area was cleared especially for us.
If the other person really is KEY…is he helping me? But why? Why did he appear now of all times after going missing for so many years?
Helios frowned. Seeing him like this, I held back my unspoken questions.
All of this is happening out of nowhere and so strangely. Many doubts buzzed around in my head.
Tumblr media
When Helios got back inside the car, he kept staring at the computer without making a sound. I glanced at him and saw that his coiled body became even more tense.
Could it be…I had a vague idea that I didn’t dare ask out loud but his eyes still caught mine.
He looked up, his eyes flickering like a sea of starlight.
Helios: I lost the signal.
MC: …
Tumblr media
Helios: It’s fine. It’s not the first time.
He smiled indifferently but it didn’t quite reach his eyes.
Helios: Have you received this message before?
I thought hard then shook my head. He opened his mouth like he wanted to say something else and met my eyes.
Helios: MC, can you leave your phone with me?
Helios: I have a feeling he’ll contact you again.
Worried that I would refuse, he added.
Helios: I promise, I won’t read anything else other than that person’s messages.
His eyes glimmered and I could see the innocence and sincerity that I was all too familiar with. My heart softened a bit and I raised my hand to smooth out his unruly hair.
Tumblr media
MC: I’ll give you the phone under one condition.
MC: Wherever you go, I want to be with you.
Tumblr media
Pushing open the door of the apartment, Helios raised his hand and pressed a switch near the door. With a beep sound, various electronic devices booted up at the same time.
MC: Is this your “secret base”?
He nodded but there was a strange look on his face.
Tumblr media
Helios: Have a seat, I’ll…be out in a little bit.
Before I could answer, he walked straight into a room. After a while, the door opened and velvety soft golden hair greeted me.
Tumblr media
As soon as we locked eyes, I could clearly see the shy and embarrassed look on Kiro’s face. ***Did he do what I think he did?!?! I wanna see him transform!!! Why do doors exist!?!?😫😫😫 ***
….At a time like this, should I act normal and pretend that nothing happened? ***No, there’s nothing normal about someone changing their hair color on the fly like that, lol***
Kiro coughed and waved the mini computer in his hand.
Tumblr media
Kiro [clears throat]: Give me a sec, okay? ***Lmao!!! I’m laughing because he had to clear his throat in order to go back to being “Kiro”***
I hastily nodded and he quickly started working at the coffee table. I placed a pillow in my arms and stared at his back as he became engrossed in his task. I couldn’t help but think about today’s events.
After all, KEY has no reason to help me so why is he doing this? Is it because he knew that Kiro was with me and that’s why he sent those messages to me?
But if it involves Kiro, why not contact him directly? Or is there some other reason I haven’t thought of yet? ***I’m sus. It’s not an imposter, is it?***
Tumblr media
Kiro: What are you thinking about?
A voice came to my ear and I came back to my senses only to find that Kiro was sitting beside me at some point.
MC: I was thinking, why did KEY contact me?
His expression froze and there was a hint of softness in his eyes.
Kiro: Honestly, I don’t know either.
Kiro: He always had this casual attitude when doing things and he tends to come and go whenever he pleases. From what I remember, he was always busy.
Kiro: Even though we lived together, I still couldn’t figure his whereabouts.
MC: Why does he sound so mysterious?
Tumblr media
Kiro: Nah, he wasn’t mysterious at all. Just an average but great guy.
As Kiro talked, a burning light flashed in his eyes but he still couldn’t hide his fatigue.
I tossed aside the pillow and lightly patted my thigh. He immediately understood what I meant and laid down.
MC: Tell me more about you and your master.
He blinked as he thought about what good memories to tell me.
After a while, his eyes lit up.
Kiro: My master….he’s someone who can never find a pair of socks and drinks his coffee with a spoonful of sugar.
Kiro: Although he is a very powerful hacker, he barely gets a pass in the life skills department.
Tumblr media
MC: Pfft, on the other hand, Kiro who he raised, is not only passing but has full marks.
I gently brushed away the bangs from Kiro’s forehead and there was some tenderness in those bright eyes.
Kiro: Because he taught me a lot of things, I was able to understand and accept myself.
Kiro: Come to think of it, it was so long ago.
Kiro: In fact, his whereabouts have always been unpredictable. I’d often get puzzles or codes from him.
Kiro: After cracking them, I would get some information about him.
Kiro: Sometimes, it would just be a bad joke or gossip about an actor I like.
Kiro: Other times, it would just be a photo of a landscape….
Kiro: Although he never said much, I knew he was telling me—
Kiro: Hey, kiddo, I miss you.
Tumblr media
Kiro: But then…he completely disappeared without a trace.
Dim light fell over his shoulders, casting a lonely shadow.
A long time ago at the hacker conference, he also told me about him and KEY like he is doing now.
MC: Did you write back to him?
MC: Did you say you missed him too?
He shook his head and lowered his eyelashes.
Kiro: His messages were one-way and that information will automatically be destroyed after I cracked them.
Kiro: I didn’t even get the chance to save those beautiful pictures.
Tumblr media
MC: Damn, does he have no sympathy for the “recipient”?
Hearing my “fight for injustice”, Kiro laughed softly.
Kiro: At first, I couldn’t understand it either.
Kiro: However, I slowly realized that he was telling me in his own way—
Kiro: Other than long-term companionship, it’s also important to constantly explore the unexpected and unknown joys in life.
Kiro: Although he’s not by my side, he’ll always share this small moment of happiness with me. ***This is the most that we’ve heard Kiro talk about KEY in the entire game. Even though KEY isn’t physically in the story, he still has such a strong presence.***
He raised his head and his eyes gazed at the starry sky outside the window, looking off into the distance.
My eyes swept across the empty room in front of me and his solitary back. The tip of my nose suddenly felt a bit sore.
I don’t know how many nights he spent hopelessly holding on to these little bits of words, wondering about what KEY was thinking?
Repeating this over and over, the hope and disappointment that came with it.
Leaning down, I tenderly rested my forehead against his.
Tumblr media
MC: Then, let me stay with you from now on.
MC: I can’t write code, make clever jokes, or take pictures of landscapes but I’ll be with you—
MC: Creating beautiful moments together and witnessing the wonderful views of the world with our own eyes.
His warm, slow breaths caressed my face, melting my heart.
MC: I’ll always be with you.
A warm blanket wrapped around my back and I felt Kiro holding me tight, surrounding me with his familiar, sweet scent.
In the darkness, I saw him gazing at me with burning eyes. The night sky gradually became clear and reflected in his eyes.
Tumblr media
Kiro: Then, you can’t run away, Miss Chips.
He closed his eyes and softly smiled.
Kiro: Many stars are testifying for me.
MC: Yes, they’re all witnesses…no, they’re heaven’s witness. ***T/N: So I had a very difficult time translating this line because MC is doing a play on words so-to-speak in which the “witnesses” she’s using is referring to a “human witness” but Kiro mentioned the stars so instead she says “witness stars”. However, that doesn’t make much sense in English so I went with “heaven’s witness”. I’m sorry if it sounds really cheesy but that was the best I could come up with. Translations be HARD.***
Amused by my words, a corner of Kiro’s mouth perked up.
The sky overflowed with vibrant stars and specks of light seemed to fill the whole room.
After much time had passed, the stars fell into a deep sleep and steady breathing drifted to my ears. Looking at his peaceful face, I said a silent prayer in my heart—
Please let him find KEY soon.
Let his thoughts be laid to rest and receive that long-awaited embrace. ***This entire scene is too sweet which can only mean one thing...***

Secret's Out
Summary: Request! Reid and Y/N are secretly dating, but their business doesn't stay their business for long.
Warnings: Criminal Minds level violence
Word Count: 2974
a/n: Thank you for the request! I hope you like it :)
Sorry this took forever! It took me a while to think of case details that I liked and then I kept rewriting parts. I think I'm finally happy with it though!
Masterlist
Tumblr media
"Spencer!" You pushed him away. "The doors could open at any moment! How are we supposed to keep this a secret if Morgan walks in on us kissing in the elevator?" You raised a brow at him.
"On average, elevators travel at a speed of 200 ft/min or about 4 seconds per floor. Being on the fifth floor means we have about 20 seconds to ourselves." He smiled triumphantly.
"Yeah, until someone surprises us on floor 3." You rolled your eyes, stepping out of the doors once they opened.
"I can't help it. I'm just... really happy with you." He whispered softly.
"I'm really happy too." You smiled at him. You were about to lean in when the elevator doors opened once again to reveal JJ and Emily.
"Hey guys, ready for another case?" Emily glanced between you suspiciously, but thankfully didn't ask any prying questions.
"Yep, let's go!" You turned quickly, walking into the round table room without so much as a glance back at the three agents by the elevator.
"What's with her?" JJ questioned.
"Said she didn't sleep well last night. Must be all the caffeine." He held his own cup off coffee up in solidarity before also walking to the round table room.
"Alright, we've got 3 dead in Billings, Montana. All three were law enforcement, and all three were found this morning around the city." You listened as Penelope introduced the details of the case.
"Could be someone who feels the police didn't do a good enough job protecting a loved one?" You threw out a theory.
"Or someone who feels wronged by the criminal justice system as a whole." Rossi added on.
"Either way, they likely won't stop until we catch them. Wheels up in 20." Hotch rose from his seat as he spoke, wasting no time in preparing for take off.
You all dispersed briefly to grab your go bags, meeting back at the SUVs to head to the jet.
Once boarded, it didn't take long for the conversation to start up again.
"When we land, L/N go to the morgue. Dave, Prentiss take the first and second crime scenes, they're only a mile apart. Morgan and Reid, check out the third scene. I'll head to the precinct with JJ."
With Hotch's instructions set, you took what little time you had left on the flight to go over the causes of death.
-
"Anything stand out to you on the bodies?" You asked the ME after going over the blunt force trauma and bullet wounds.
"There's tape residue and bruising on the wrists and ankles. Based on the state of bruising, they were likely held for about 3 days before they were killed."
"Thank you for your help." You shook hands, pulling out your phone to call Hotch.
"Hotchner."
"Hotch, they were held for days before they were killed. How did nobody notice they were missing?" There was nothing in the reports that indicated the victims were reported missing prior to being found.
"We just found the same pattern. They all used vacation days for various reasons in the days leading up to their deaths. Meet us back at the precinct and Reid can explain the whole pattern."
"Okay, I'm leaving now." You hung up just as you reached the SUV. Throughout the drive, you couldn't stop thinking that something wasn't adding up.
The victims were taken in the same day. It didn't make sense for the unsub not to escalate. So, why aren't any officers unaccounted for?
Suddenly, a truck crashed into your SUV, sending you flying off the road. A figure dressed in black opened the door and dragged you from the car.
"Agent L/N, it's so good to see you again." A male voice spoke, but you couldn't place it.
He hit you over the head with a handgun before dragging you to his own vehicle.
-
"Where's L/N?" Emily questioned when her and Rossi returned from the second dumpsite.
"On her way back from the ME." Hotch answered. "Did you find anything useful?"
"They truly are dumpsites. Both bodies were found by dumpsters, sending a pretty clear message." Dave replied.
"Same for the third site." Derek added on.
"All three victims were single and took time off leading up to their death. Nobody would've notice that they were missing until it was too late." Reid supplied the final bit of information gathered.
Hotch's phone rang before anyone else could comment. The frantic sound of Garcia's nails clicking against her keyboard echoed through the phone. She was talking before anyone could greet her.
"You need to see this, check your tablets."
Confused glances were exchanged as everyone, barring Reid, opened their tablets. Reid glanced over Morgan's shoulder to observe as well.
A seemingly live video that Garcia received a link to was streaming to the tablets.
A single woman sitting in a chair could be seen in the frame. Her wrists and ankles were bound to the chair with thick, gray tape and a bag was over her head.
"Garcia, what is this?" Hotch asked almost immediately.
"I was emailed the link just now. It's not streaming anywhere else online." Her reply came quickly, the sound of typing still filling in the silence.
"Can you trace it?" Rossi questioned.
"I'm trying, but it's being routed through multiple proxy servers."
"Did the email say anything?" Emily chimed in.
"No, it was just the link- Wait. I just got another email." She paused as the new email loaded. "It's addressed to Reid."
Every set of eyes in the room turned to Reid.
"What does it say?" He felt the nerves beginning to grow waiting for Garcia to read the words aloud.
"Dr. Reid,
I hope you remember me. What am I saying, of course you do. I've got something of yours that you might want back. You see Dr. Reid, you and your team ruined me. My family, my career, all of it, just gone. I thought I'd return the favor. A person's phone can be so informative. Tell me, does your team know about your girlfriend? I've so enjoyed getting reacquainted with her.
Happy hunting."
Spencer's face went white as he looked at Morgan's tablet again. His thoughts were racing. How did he not recognize you before? Even with the bag over your head, he should've known it was you.
"It's her." His words were barely a whisper.
"This is your girlfriend?" Morgan gestured to the screen again. Spencer could only nod in reply, his mind unable to focus on anything except you.
"Reid, listen to me. You've got to tell us everything you know about her. We'll have to split up. You can go back to Quantico with Emily and Morgan, the rest of us will stay here to work on our current case." Hotch was already devising a strategy to work both cases.
"There's no need." His words made sense to him, but sounded cryptic to the rest of the team.
"Kid, of course there is. We'll help you get her back." Morgan placed a hand on his shoulder, effectively shocking him back to the present situation.
"There's no need to split up because she's here. She's in Montana." Before he could continue, everyone was asking questions.
"Give me a phone number and I'll get you a location." Garcia was already typing away again.
"Are you sure she's here?" JJ's brows furrowed. She did her best to hide the hurt of her best friend hiding his girlfriend from her, again.
"Why would she be here?" Rossi added.
"How did she get here? Maybe we can track the transportation and figure out means of abduction." Emily was the only one thinking about the case.
Like ripping off a bandaid, Spencer blurted out the truth.
"It's Y/N."
He was met with silence in the room as everyone absorbed the information.
Garcia caught up first, a sudden gasp sounding through the phone.
"So, then that's Y/N... in the video..." Her voice wavered.
As if a switch was flipped, the team was back on the case.
"Garcia, get me a list of anyone who would have a grievance with the team." Hotch ordered.
"Go through anyone who was falsely accused. Start with cases in or around Montana. He would want to keep this close to home." Rossi specified.
"We've only had one case in Montana since Y/N joined the team." Reid supplied the knowledge as it came to him. "A name, I need a name." He muttered to himself, pulling his hair as he roughly ran his hands through it and over his face. "Garcia, look into Jameson Braddock."
"Got it." She immediately began a background check, searching through case files and news articles for additional information. "i'll get back to you with locations." With that, she hung up.
"Fill us in, kid. Who is Jameson Braddock." Morgan lead Reid to a chair, gently easing him into it.
"Our last case in Montana, Emily and I went to interview a witness." Emily nodded, the memories slowly coming back to her.
"He wasn't very forthcoming, and then he tried to run." She added on.
"Exactly, except he didn't make it very fair. We arrested him, but it turned out he was only guilty of selling alcohol to minors. When word of his arrest got out, the whole town thought it was for the serial rapes and murders we were investigating even though it was never confirmed."
"By the time we corrected the media, it was too late." JJ supplied, also remembering the man.
"So, he killed three officers just to draw us out back out here?" Morgan refocused the conversation on the current case.
"It looks that way now. The media knew we were coming, so he must have as well." Emily theororized. "If he followed us from the airport, he would've seen Y/N leave by herself."
"He likely didn't know about your relationship until he abducted her and went through her phone." Hotch paced the room.
"He's flaunting his power over us." Rossi chimed in just as Hotch's phone rang again.
"Garcia, what've you got?"
"Three addresses in Billings, Montana. Jameson Braddock has been on a downward spiral since your last trip there. His entire life fell apart, like he said. Divorced, his wife moved to Nebraska with their two kids. He lost his job at the high school, and was evicted from his house when he could no longer pay the bills." She listed the information quickly.
"He has ties to three addresses. Nobody has moved into his previous house, so it's vacant. He's got a small apartment in the northern part of the city which he pays for through working odd hours at Taco Bell. Finally, he briefly worked security at a now abandoned warehouse."
"An apartment wouldn't be enough space to hold her without the chance of someone hearing. She's not there." Rossi eliminated the location as an option.
"We'll split up to cover the warehouse and the house-" Hotch began, but Reid cut him off.
"No, we shouldn't split up. She's got to be at the house. The warehouse has no connection to his previous life. He wants revenge for our perceived wrongdoing, he wouldn't make his last stand at a new location." Reid was already putting on a bullet proof vest. Despite how his mind was racing, he refused to show how afraid he was.
"You're sure?" Morgan asked, on the fence about committing to one location.
"Absolutely." With that, Reid was out the door heading for the SUVs.
-
"Rossi, Emily head around back. I'll take the front with Reid. JJ and Morgan, the side door." Hotch instructed the team to split up upon arrival at the house.
Reid wasted no time in approaching the house. He was confident you were inside, but he didn't know what was happening to you.
The main floor was cleared quickly. Again, the team split up to cover the upper level and the basement.
Knowing you were likely downstairs, Reid immediately started that direction, JJ and Hotch following him.
It wasn't hard for him to find you. You were still tied to the chair in the middle of the room, bag over your head.
Before anyone could stop him, Reid lowered his gun and ran to you. He gently maneuvered the bag off your head, stopping his movements only when he felt something press into his back.
"Dr. Reid. So kind of you to join us." Braddock spoke maniacally, pressing the gun against Reid's head.
"Drop your weapon." Hotch commanded, but the man only cackled in response.
'Y/N... Y/N." Reid gently shook you in an attempt to wake you up.
"She can't hear you." Braddock singsonged.
"What did you do?" Reid tried to turn to him only to feel the gun press further into his head.
"Like I said in my email, you people ruined my life. They took everything from me, so I thought I'd try to return the favor." During his short speech, Braddock shifted just enough for JJ to get a clean shot.
He fell to the ground, gun clattering across the floor.
Reid moved quickly to remove the tape binding you to the chair while Hotch called for a medic in the basement.
The entire team watched as you were wheeled into the ambulance, still unconscious, none more scared than Spencer.
-
"She's going to be fine, Spence." JJ tried to reassure him, nonetheless his pacing continued.
"You don't know that. We don't even know what he did to her." He had one hand anxiously running through his hair, the other pinching the bridge of his nose in distress.
Just then, a doctor emerged from behind closed doors.
"F/N L/N." She called into the waiting room, slightly taken aback when the group of agents rushed to her.
"It was touch and go for a while, but she got here just in time." It was visible to even the least qualified profiler how relieved the team felt. Their previously tense shoulders relaxed, frowns turned to small smiles, wide eyes and raised brows pinched together with joy.
"What happened?" Emily posed the question everyone was thinking.
"In short, she was drugged. It's not clear what exactly was used, but it was likely a mix of drugs that attempted to stop her heart."
"Can we see her?" Morgan spoke next, cautiously eyeing Reid.
"You may, follow me." The doctor lead them through a series of hallways to your room. "She should be waking up soon."
With that the doctor left, allowing the team to file into the room. You looked strangely peaceful for someone who almost died.
"So..." JJ glanced between you and Spencer. "Girlfriend, huh?"
His eyes went wide. Instinctively, he turned to you for help, but you were still asleep. He opened his mouth to answer, but no words came out.
"Relax, kid." Morgan grinned. "We're happy as long as you two are happy."
Spencer smiled gratefully, looking at you with an adoring gaze. "We are happy."
"How long?' Emily gestured to your joined hands. Just before Spencer could answer, you groaned.
"I want to hear your guesses first." Your voice was raspy, but there was a clear smile on your face. "Also, what happened?"
The quickly explained the email Garcia received and the events that followed.
"Now that that's cleared up, do tell us how long you think we've been together. I know you've got a bet going." You narrowed your eyes, playfully glaring at each team member.
"4 months." Hotch begrudgingly admitted. JJ followed with 3 months, Derek and Rossi both betting 10 weeks, and Emily going with 6 weeks.
"Ha, you're all wrong." You smiled triumphantly, leaning closer to Spencer.
"Wait, we haven't heard from Garcia." Derek smirked as he rung her on speaker phone.
"Oh, my beautiful crime fighters. Y/N, are you okay?" Your smile widened at the concern in her voice.
"I am indeed, but I have a very important question for you." You glanced as Spencer briefly before continuing. "How long do you think Spence and I have been together?"
"Oh, I know this one!" Her excitement caught everyone but you off guard. "7 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days."
Spencer's jaw dropped as he stuttered out, "that's exactly right..."
"How'd you figure it out?" The group of profilers wore matching expressions of surprise as Penelope explained.
"Well, we had just finished testifying in the Bigelow trial. The whole team went out for drinks, and I could just see it in Y/N's eyes the next day that something wonderful happened. At first I just thought that she got some, but then I saw her and the good doctor in the kitchen getting coffee and I knew." Penelope's voice held a mixture of smugness and pure excitement.
"Babygirl, you didn't tell me?" Derek sounded genuinely offended.
"Y/N asked me not to." Even though you couldn't see her, you knew she punctuated the statement with a shrug.
"You knew, she knew?" Spencer turned to you in shock.
You nodded. "I could see it on her face the second I walked out of the kitchen. But she promised not to tell, so I didn't either."
"The two of you, thick as thieves." Rossi lamented.
"I love you so much." Spencer whispered into your ear as he pulled you in for a hug.
"I love you too." You whispered right back.
"Honestly, I'm glad the secret's out." You smiled at Spencer before looking at the rest of the team. "Although, I wish I didn't have to be kidnapped to tell you."
You spent a few more hours in the hospital before being cleared to go back to the hotel.
The next morning, you smiled to yourself as you were finally able to cuddle with Spencer during the flight home.

Taking Chances Chapter 9: Heroes and Villains (Discovery)
Prev
AO3
It wasn’t the toughest akuma that they had ever faced. But even with both of them fighting, it took too long. So long that her family was sure to be suspicious. Despite the fact that she just wanted to portal back to the hotel where there would be far fewer questions, she knew she didn’t have that luxury.
“Kaalki, if I ask to go to an empty room in the manor, can you do that? I don’t wanna pop out of nowhere. I’m already dreading the questions we’re gonna get about Adrien disappearing.” Marinette asks the kwami, rolling her eyes at Adrien’s annoyed huff.
“If you had just taken me with you to begin with-”
“To the bathroom? Adrien, I know you’re not the best with social situations but even you know that’s weird, right? And besides, there’s no way Dick would’ve let you follow me. He’s hovered every time we’ve been alone.” Marinette reminds him, crossing her arms.
“We were bonding over humor!” Adrien argues.
“Sure! But I still-”
“Ladybug, I can do it. As entertaining as all of this is, the Wayne family should not be kept waiting.” Kaalki reminds her, a small smirk on their face. Marinette’s eye twitches at the reminder of her family. Okay. One problem at a time.
“Okay. I’m trusting you. Tikki, Kaalki unify. Voyage!” Marinette calls, grabbing Adrien’s hand and stepping through the portal. She glances around the room, frowning as she looks at everything. None of it made sense. It looked kind of what she would imagine from-
“Is this the Batcave?” Adrien asks, mouth wide in shock as he slowly turns in a circle.
“Kaalki, dismount.” Marinette says, glaring at the kwami the second they’re visible again. “Care to explain what’s going on?”
“You asked to go to an empty room in the manor. I simply took you to the most famous room. It truly is a crime that you’ve never been in here before.” Kaalki hums, zipping around the space.
“I’ve only been to the manor twice! And this is in the manor? Does Batman work for Mr. Wayne?” She asks, desperately trying to figure out the situation.
“LB, what if he is Batman?” Adrien asks, making her pale.
“He’d figure me out so quickly. Oh god, what are we gonna do? He’s gonna kick me out of the family and I was just starting to be able to breathe around them and think about the fact that they are my family and now I’m going to go back to being an only child and even though Dick can be annoying and I haven’t really talked a lot to the others I really wanted to get to know them and now I’ll never get the chance because I’m a failed superhero who can’t even defeat one measly villain and he’s gonna take away my Miraculous and then he’s gonna be Ladybug but then it’ll be weird and he’ll hate me even more because red is not his color but he’ll be stuck in red because that’s what Paris is used to for the Ladybug costume and we don’t want them to go into shock when I’m replaced and-”
“Who the fuck are you?” A voice asks, clearly angry. Marinette winces and turns, eyes wide when she notices the actual (REAL) gun in Jason’s hands.
“We’re not meant to be here. There was a mistake with transportation and-” Marinette starts, stumbling over her words as she tries not to panic even more.
“Likely story. Don’t fucking move. I’m calling Batman.” Jason says, glaring at the two before pulling out his phone. “Hey B, there’s a situation in the cave. Intruders. No, I have no fucking clue how they got in here. Yeah, there’s two of them. No, no it’s not them. Yeah well I kinda can’t fucking interrogate them by myself now can I?” There’s a pause. “Yeah no, not wearing that. Yeah thanks for that. Well I didn’t- Just get over here.”
“So is Batman coming?” Adrien asks, the excitement clear on his face. Marinette looks at him in annoyance. She loved the boy but sometimes, he had no sense of self preservation.
“Yeah, Batman’s coming. Why the fuck are you here?” Jason asks, the angry look on his face not matching the personality she had seen every other time she’d seen him.
“Why are we here? Why are you here?” Adrien asks, poking. Jason’s eyes narrow and his glare gets darker.
“We’re here to ask Batman for help with a situation.” Marinette blurts, shifting so that she’s slightly in front of Adrien since he kept saying things that were pissing Jason off. Jason frowns.
“Why do you need help from Batman?” He asks.
“Ladybug, Chat Noir. I’ll admit I didn’t expect to see either of you here.” A gruff voice states, walking towards them. Marinette’s eyes widen. Holy vigilante, that's Batman. And he’s not looking at her as a civilian who could be scared. Nope. Now he’s looking at her as a fellow hero and possible intruder. Oh this should be fun.
“Monsieur Batman. I apologize for our intrusion. I meant to bring us to Gotham, to speak with you, but I must have messed up. I’m truly sorry for appearing in your home like this.” She says, extending her hand for a handshake. Batman glances down at her hand, seeming to hesitate for a moment before reaching out and shaking her hand.
“As long as you are here, we might as well talk about the Paris situation. It has recently come to my attention and I’m concerned about the possibility of death in your city.” Batman says, getting straight to business.
“I’m sorry, what the actual fuck is happening in Paris? And why haven’t I heard anything about it? Actually, why hasn’t anyone heard about a situation in Paris?” Jason asks, actually glaring at Batman.
“It doesn’t concern you, Mr. Todd. You may leave now. We’ll have our meeting another time.” Batman says, his tone firm.
“The hell it doesn’t. My baby sister lives in Paris, and I’d be damned if I left her alone in some kind of hellscape where apparently there’s the possibility of a lot of death. Now can someone tell me what is going on in Paris?” Jason yells, his eyes blazing as he glares at Batman. Marinette blinks at her brother, shocked at his reaction. Did he really care that much?
“It’d probably be easier to show you. Do you mind?” Adrien asks, gesturing to the computer. Batman stiffens.
“I’ll pull it up. I’m sure you’re referring to the videos of previous fights. I have them in a folder.” He says, walking over and hitting several buttons. Before long, a video is pulled up on the gigantic screen. A video of the fight against Syren. Of course he had to choose one of the most dangerous akumas. Instead of watching the screen, Marinette watches her brother’s reactions. Flinching slightly as she hears his knuckles crack from how tightly he’s clenching his fists.
“How long has this been going on?” He asks simply, his voice much darker than she’d ever heard.
“Almost two years.” Marinette responds, frowning at him. She hadn’t known him long, and she knew it would be stupid as Ladybug, but Marinette wanted to hug her older brother. He looked pissed, sure, but underneath the initial anger, she could see the worry. And how unsure he was. She couldn’t be certain that all of the worry was aimed at her or the Paris situation, but she knew at least some of it was. And she felt bad for making him worry like that.
“And where has the Justice League been?” He asks Batman, almost snarling.
“There’s no lasting damage.” Marinette says. “Even if the Justice League had shown up, they couldn’t have done anything that Chat or I couldn’t. My power is to erase the damage, and death, done during our battles. So Monsieur Batman, you don’t have to worry about the possible death either. I assure you both, it’s fine. We could use assistance to figure out Hawkmoth’s identity though.” Marinette says, trying to move the subject away from death and injury and the rougher parts of akuma battles.
“I don’t give a damn if the damage isn’t lasting. You remember, right?” Jason asks. Marinette hesitates.
“Well, yes. But the akumatized victims don’t and-”
“No. See, I don’t care about the akumatized victims right now either. I care about the amount of death and destruction and pain my sister has had to deal with alone. What about the people who die, Ladybug? Do they remember that they died? Do they wake up after drowning or burning or being crushed to death and just be told to be thankful that it wasn’t permanent? Or do they get to forget too?” Jason asks through clenched teeth. Marinette stops, thinking of all the times buildings have fallen on her. The times she's watched friends die. The time Tikki had to take the earrings and Marinette woke up after the battle, still able to feel the metal in her chest. The time she saw a world draped in white, only one other person left in the entire world. She thinks of these times, and she sighs.
"No. They don't forget." She says, biting back the wave of emotion threatening to push her under. She can't. She has to focus. She can't break right now.
"Then I don't care about the rest of Paris. What are you doing to protect Marinette Dupain Cheng?" He asks, crossing his arms and staring her down. She blinks. She gets that he's worried, as her brother, but why would they have special protection for one person? She's about to ask when Batman speaks up instead.
"No worries, Mr. Todd. My team and I have been made aware and have prepared a security detail for Miss Dupain Cheng once she returns to Paris." Batman says simply. Marinette's eyes widen. No. Oh no. No, no, no, she can't be watched! How's she supposed to protect Paris if an American superhero and his team are stalking her to make sure she's safe?
"As a former Miraculous wielder, Marinette is already under our protection." She lies, ignoring the shocked look Adrien is giving her.
"I'm sorry, what? Former- She was a hero?!" Jason yells, the panic clear on his face.
"Yes, but she was compromised so she doesn't work with us anymore." Marinette says, hoping to calm him down. It doesn't work.
"She was compromised! And you abandoned her? What the hell is wrong with you?" He yells as he starts to pace the room.
"Mr. Todd, it might be best if you-" Batman starts, holding his hands up placatingly.
"I don't wanna fucking hear it, B. You might be okay with watching a bunch of kids run around in costumes and have near death experiences but I'm not watching it. Not again. Now whatever this meeting is can wait, because my sister is currently missing and Batman over here needs to go find her. Because we need to wrap her in some goddamned bubble wrap because apparently this family is a fucking trouble magnet. And if you two are going to be in Gotham, then you can go help look for her too." Jason says, turning and starting to storm off. He pauses and turns back to the group of heroes- vigilantes?- "And her friend Adrien. I'm not sure how we'll fund him, stupid magic light thingy. But Marinette's gonna be pissed if she gets back and her boy toy is missing." He turns and actually leaves this time. Marinette turns to Batman and raises an eyebrow. A silent question on what the next step is. Batman frowns.
"As much as I dislike taking orders from civilians, he's right. Mr. Wayne asked my team to look for Miss Dupain Cheng. I assume the two of you will stay to help." He says. Marinette shakes her head.
"Unfortunately, we're going to have to leave. But we'll be in contact." Marinette says with a quick smile before calling Kaalki's transformation and creating a portal. Repeatedly thinking 'unused bedroom in Wayne manor, she steps through without waiting for a response from Batman, tugging Adrien along. Glancing around, she sighs in relief when she realizes the Kwami didn't take them to another secret lair.
"That was intense." Adrien says, dropping his transformation.
"I need extra Camembert after that disaster." Plagg says with a smirk. Marinette drops her transformation, stifling a giggle at the annoyed look on Tikki’s face.
"It wouldn't have been a disaster if you hadn't convinced Kaalki to do that!" She says angrily. Marinette’s previous humor instantly disappears and she turns to Plagg.
"Plagg, what is she talking about?" She asks, glaring at the Kwami.
"Now, pigtails, don't do anything rash, but the Batcave was my idea." He blurts out.
"I take offense to that. I brought them there!" Kaalki exclaims with a pout.
"Yeah, but I'm the one who found out. And told you and Sugar Cube." Plagg counters making Kaalki roll their eyes.
"Oh puhlease, you wouldn't have known what it was if I hadn't followed you." They say, chin high in the air.
"So apparently Batman is looking for us. What're the odds Mr. Wayne is just working for Batman and not actually Batman himself?" Marinette asks, giving Adrien a hopeful look.
"I think they're the same odds that no one in your family will ask questions about where we were." He says with a shrug. Marinette groans.
"I can't believe my dad is Batman." She drops her head into her hands, taking a moment to breathe before a thought pops into her head.
"Do you think my brothers are the rest of them? Oh god. Damian is totally Robin, and Tim is Red Robin. Which would make Jason Red Hood 'cause Nightwing's hair is completely black. Oh my god. I'm in a family of vigilantes!" She groans, huffing in annoyance.
"What's so bad about that? They'll be even more likely to help us find Hawkmoth." Adrien says, still looking on the bright side.
"That's if they let me out of their sight. You heard Jason, and Mr. Wayne. They want to put a security detail on me and they think I'm a civilian! What’re they gonna do when they realize I’m a superhero too?” Marinette moans, various situations running through her head. She takes a few steadying breaths to try and stave off the panic. They won’t find out, right?
---
Jason kicks a chair he walks past, mumbling under his breath. Bruce hadn’t acted surprised or anything, so apparently he already knew about the situation. Knew and didn’t say shit to anyone else. Of course he did. Jason would’ve cared a few days ago, sure he would’ve. But now he cares. Because now his tiny sister is in danger and he’d be damned if he let her go back to Paris without protection. Hell, he’ll go with if he has to. Anything to keep her safe. To stop her from dying. Or, dying again. And apparently she was a hero in Paris at some point. And she was compromised. And then abandoned. What a pile of shit. Huffing in frustration, he resists the urge to run back to the cave and start shooting. Instead he walks towards his room to grab the keys he’d thrown in there earlier when he got to the manor for dinner. Turning the corner, he freezes in shock when he sees Marinette and Adrien standing there, Adrien gently patting her back as she looks close to panicked.
“Marinette!” Jason calls, running towards her and sweeping her up in a big hug. He didn’t want to let her go. If he let her go, she’d go back to Paris. She’d have to deal with a supervillain and death and horrible things. She was too young for that. He, of all people, would know.
“Jay. Can’t breathe. Please.” She chokes out. Jason lets her down, then glares at her.
“Where the hell have you been? I thought you were going to the bathroom?” He asks, frowning as she grows even paler.
“Uh, er, I was?” She says, sounding more like a question. He narrows his eyes.
“Are you sure?” He asks.
“Yes?” She asks, eye twitching. Jason sighs.
“If you don’t wanna tell me Pixie Pop, you don’t have to. But you are gonna have to tell B.” He says.
“Batman?!” She shrieks, eyes wide. Jason shakes his head, panic welling up.
“No, why- B’s what I call Bruce. Why would you think I was talking about Batman?” He asks, gesturing wildly.
“Because that’s what you called Batman on the phone!” She counters, freezing the second the words are out of her mouth.
“Wait, what? When did you-” Jason stops, a horrible feeling settling in the pit of his stomach. No. She can’t.
“Wait no, I- oh crap.” She mumbles, pinching the bridge of her nose.
“You’re Ladybug.” Jason says, his ears ringing as he looks down at his sister. Well fuck.
---
Dick sighs, turning around in a circle as he looks at the closing shops around him. Where could Marinette have gone? Why did she leave? If she was overwhelmed they would have driven her back to her hotel. She didn’t have to try and walk back by herself. Especially this late. And in Gotham of all places. His phone ringing tugged him from his thoughts and he answered without even looking at the caller ID.
“Hello?” He says, trying hard to push down the worry and focus on the phone call.
”Hey Dick. I found them.” Jay says, sounding tired. Dick lets out a sigh of relief.
“Where were they?” He asks.
”In the manor. Look, I think we all need to have a talk. You should probably come home. And grab Replacement and Demon Spawn on the way back.” Jason says. Dick frowns. How were they in the manor? They all looked in the manor, they were not there.
“Okay, yeah. On my way.” Dick says instead. This should be interesting.
---
Marinette tries to ignore the burning stare from Jason as she grips onto Adrien’s hand. This could be a huge mistake, but it could also help them find Hawkmoth. And take him down for good. The idea of that is too great to give up. So no matter how much it makes her want to puke with nerves, she’d tell her family the truth. That she’s Ladybug. She was sure they’d understand, being the infamous Batfamily and everything.
“Sorry about that, Timmy insisted on grabbing some coffee on the way back. Where’s B?” Dick asks, and Marinette winces at the nickname. Why her brothers thought it was a good idea to call Mr. Wayne ‘B’ as both Batman and Bruce Wayne was beyond her. They’d had secret identities much longer (though after today she wasn’t sure how).
“Now that we are all here, could you explain why you insisted on this meeting, Jason?” Mr. Wayne asks, sat in the same chair he’d been in when the evening had first started. Marinette glances around at her siblings, smiling softly back at Cass who seemed to be trying to reassure her without signing or saying anything.
“Marinette is Ladybug.” Jason blurts out, instead of dropping the bomb slowly like they’d discussed. Silence. Just as Mr. Wayne opens his mouth, Marinette blurts out:
“Yeah, well you’re the Batfamily!” Oops.

Routines
Tim and Marinette lived busy lives.
It was by choice, of course.
They were both prominent figures in their fields that could pick and choose the assignments they wished to take, had more money than they could ever dream of using thanks to the hefty trust fund that being even tangentially related to Bruce Wayne provided, and no one would blame them if they were to lessen or give up their vigilantism. If they wished, there was nothing stopping them from taking a smaller workload, from using up all of their sick days, from taking vacations, from quitting their jobs entirely...
That being said, they likely never would.
And the tabloids loved to speculate on their relationship because of it. How could they spend much time together if Tim was always at work, developing new technology for Wayne Enterprises? Marinette was cheating, how could she not when so much of her job as a designer involved getting up close and personal with models? Not to mention all of the business trips. Surely, the relationship had some kind of monetary motivation, or maybe it was just to more seamlessly merge their companies, or it had only happened for PR reasons.
They let them speculate. They simply didn’t know better.
The tabloids didn’t get to see how they acted behind closed doors, after all.
There would be days where neither of them went in to work. It wasn’t due to some sort of sickness that Tim had caught thanks to his lack of spleen, nor would it be because Marinette had hit some kind of artist’s block. No, it was simply because they wanted to spend time together.
~
They took breaks. Technically. If you squint.
There would be days where neither of them went into work. It wasn’t due to some sort of sickness that Tim had caught thanks to his lack of spleen, nor would it be because Marinette had hit some kind of artist’s block. No, it was simply because they wanted to spend time together.
They would turn on the coffee machine and then make their way over to the sofa. Marinette would nestle herself into his side and smile as he wrapped his arm around her. He would pull her as close as he possibly could so he could still use both arms to type.
He usually took video calls like this. It was always so much easier to maintain a pleasant smile, even when people often looked down on him for his age, because whenever he felt it start to waver he could simply look down at his girlfriend and suddenly he would find that it would be back in full force.
She would prop her sketchbook on her legs and start on some new designs. The designs she did like this were always, inexplicably, more lively than the other ones -- full of vibrant colors and swooping curves in a way that some of her other works lacked. If asked, Marinette would joke that the secret ingredient was love.
And, sure, this wasn’t technically taking a break from work. They were still productive, still did tasks...
But they counted it. They always came back to work the next day with the same euphoric feelings in their chests, the same springs in their steps. How could they not? They’d spent the entire day doing what they loved with the person that they loved. Who could ever want a break from that?
~
Every time one of them came back from a business trip, they made sure to spend the night together.
Tim would lay back in bed, Marinette on top of him. Her head would come to rest on his chest, clutching the back of his shirt tightly. His fingers would find their way to her hair and she would huff a little, knowing that her hair was about to get hopelessly tangled as he fidgeted with the silky strands, but she would nuzzle into his chest all the same.
They would watch a TV show. It didn’t matter whether it was good or bad. As long as there were people and some semblance of a plot, they would gladly stay wrapped up in each other’s arms to watch it.
Tim would rattle off whatever theories he had developed as they came to mind. Some of them were absolutely insane, he knew, and would never happen… but it was worth making a fool of himself if it got Marinette’s face to light up or if he earned one of those little giggles that escaped her when he was instantly proven wrong.
Marinette would, at least, pause the show whenever she wanted to talk, though it wasn’t out of an understanding of how time works. No, it was so she could sit up a little in his lap and point at whichever character had offended her this time. She would go on long rants about how makeup was just as important as outfits in costuming, but it was often overlooked in favor of making the actors look pretty. And, maybe she had already said all of this before, but it’s important, Tim! And he would just nod his agreement. Because it was important -- a TV night certainly wouldn’t feel like a TV night without at least one rant.
And then the screen would go black, the most recent episode done.
Tim would draw back a little and then pretend to be shocked when his hands were stuck in her hair.
“Oh noooooo,” he’d say. “I guess I can’t let go yet.”
“How unfortunate,” she would deadpan.
He’d smile cheekily at her.
“Shut up.”
“But I didn’t even say anything!” He’d argue with overexaggerated offense.
She would smile, shaking her head as much as she could with the fingers in her hair. “You didn’t have to. You have a presence about you.”
“I’m going to take that as a compliment,” he’d say.
And, sometimes, she’d bring her hands up to cup his face. “Not sure if it was a compliment, but I definitely wouldn’t have it any other way,” she’d whisper before pulling him closer for a kiss.
… but, most of the time she would just laugh and say: “It wasn’t one.”
~
Once a month, Marinette tried to teach Tim to cook. Of course, they both knew it was a hopeless endeavor. He’d failed to make mac n’ cheese once, and Marinette -- who had lived the first eighteen years of her life in a Parisian bakery -- wasn’t good at discerning which meals were ‘easy to do’.
But that didn’t stop her from trying.
She would come up with a new recipe, would claim that this one was truly dummy proof…
And then Tim, dummy that he was, would manage to mess it up. Without fail, he would find some way to do something wrong. He would leave the milk on the stove and then be surprised when said milk on the stove decided to revolt against the system. He would raise the temperature on the thing they were baking so it would go faster and then be shocked when the cake didn’t rise at all. He would put too much in the mixer and then not understand why the contents had exploded over the two of them.
Worst thing was, she was pretty sure he was actually trying. He just… couldn’t seem to do it.
So, she would just kiss the disappointed frown off of his face and promise that they would do better next time.
And, every time without fail, he would light up.
“There will be a next time?” He would ask.
“Yeah. You’re lucky you’re cute, I can’t say I love being covered in ingredients.”
Tim would kiss her cheek, and then draw back and lick his lips. “I don’t know, I kind of like it. Something about my girlfriend being covered in tasty food really does something for me.”
“Like I said: you’re lucky you’re cute.”
And, even though she would say that, there was no mistaking the amusement dancing in her eyes.
~
They weren’t particularly religious, it was hard to be when Marinette had a god living in her earrings that obeyed her every command…
Which meant celebrations for the two of them were few and far between.
But, at least, they celebrated their anniversary.
They would sit on the rooftop, the blankets doing nothing to keep the hard tiles of the roof from digging into them and they did even less against the chilly Gotham air.
She’d stare up at the sky with him.
And, since it was Gotham, there were very few stars to be seen through the dark red and black haze of clouds that hung over the city.
But they didn’t mind.
Marinette smiled. “It’s our colors.”
He didn’t look over, watching the colors swirl above them. “Even the sky thinks we’re a good couple.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised. The sky god really does have a thing for love.”
He gave a short puff of laughter and finally tore his eyes away from the sky. “Really?”
She shrugged, grinning at him. “No clue. There might not even be a sky god.”
He scoffed and untangled his hand from its blanket prison to give her a tiny shove. She could have dodged the attempt with ease, but she allowed the hand to make contact.
To her surprise, he grabbed ahold of her shoulder and pulled her into him. She gave an undignified little squeak and, if it weren’t for the fact that he was right there, she would have probably faceplanted onto the tile.
But, instead, her face came crashing into his soft, pillowy shoulder.
She looked up at the crooked grin that she had come to love over the years and huffed, pulling her own arms free so she could shove him. For real.
He flopped back, the hand he’d managed to get out coming to rest over his chest as if he were hurt.
“How could you? Roofs hurt, you know.”
“Well, yeah, if you throw yourself down on tiles it’s not going to feel too great.”
He cracked a grin, though he quickly tamped it down to keep up the act: “Victim blaming at its finest.”
She rolled her eyes and leaned over him. One of her hands cradled his cheek, her thumb tracing the tiny scar on his cheekbone.
He looked up at her. And she thought, somewhere, that maybe the reason the pollution in the city was just some kind of coverup so no one would know that they all resided in Tim’s eyes.
And then she cursed herself mentally for thinking something so cheesy.
She had to make up for it somehow:
“You’re the worst, I hope you know that.”
“I am. But you love me anyway.”
Dang it. How was she supposed to feign being annoyed when he looked at her like that? With that soft smile and thick lashes and hair that framed his face just so.
She decided it wasn’t worth trying to pretend.
Marinette let herself match his smile.
“I do.”
“Save those words for our wedding,” he joked softly.
She rolled her eyes. “You haven’t even proposed yet.”
“I could be doing that right now. Who knows, this could all be my plan.”
“It’d be a good plan,” she said. “I’d probably say yes.”
He narrowed his eyes just slightly. “Isn’t that essentially you proposing to me?”
She tipped her head to the side, considering, then she laughed a little. “I guess it kind of is. So, Tim, will you marry me?”
His eyes widened to an almost comical degree.
And then his face lit up with a smile that made her heart flutter.
“I hope you know I want a ring.”
She giggled. “Just say yes, you idiot. We can always get the ring tomorrow.”
His smile only stretched further. “Yes. I’d love to marry you.”
“I love you,” she whispered, leaning closer until her lips brushed against his.
“I love you, too,” he breathed.
Marinette didn’t hesitate any longer, tilting her head to give him a proper kiss. He freed himself of the blanket and she gasped a little against his lips as he wrapped her up in it as well, drawing her close.
She pulled away just a little, her forehead coming to rest against his. She couldn’t seem to get the dopey smile off of her face, but she wasn't completely sure she even wanted it gone.
“I proposed first, so I won,” she said, sticking her tongue out at him playfully.
He smiled. “No, I did.”

A Short Film
Tumblr media
A/N: hey hey hey... mid writing this I realized how much I jumped the gun and thought this was a good concept, but now that I’m thinking too hard about it, maybe it’s not. I also wrote too much of it to back down now, so hopefully someone out there enjoys this as much as I did in my head lol.
Summary: Spencer steps way out of his comfort zone to ask his film major girlfriend a question.
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Fem!Reader
Category: Fluff
Content Warnings: nothing really...  Spencer hardcore struggling with technology
Word Count: 3.5k
Masterlist
___
“Hey Garcia, do you think you could help with something?” Spencer asked, rubbing the back of his neck nervously and not looking up from the floor of her office.
“Of course, Boy Wonder? What can I do for you?” Garcia answered while excitedly turning her chair back to her wall of screens.
Spencer grabbed the extra chair in her office and mumbled, “Actually um,” causing Garcia to completely abandon her position and fully face the genius.
“Spencer, are you okay? Is something wrong?” Spencer couldn’t blame her for asking. He was sweating more than usual, his face was bright red and he hadn’t stop fiddling with his hands since he shut the door.
“Oh no, nothing’s wrong. I just, uh, I don’t really know how to ask this,” Spencer stumbled back. It was the truth after all. No life experience had prepared him for such a request, one that in the grand scheme of things was not a lot, but to Spencer.
To Spencer, it was everything.
“That’s okay. Take your time,” Penelope stated back, and coming from anyone else, Spencer would have believed it was sarcastic in nature. But he also knew that Penelope was one of the only people he could never find judgement or maliciousness from.
You were the other.
“So Y/N and I as you’re probably aware have been together for 2 years now, and you also know that she just got her degree in cinematography and design, which is really funny if you think about it because I know nothing about any of that, but she knows everything. You know, sometimes she’ll explain to me what she sees through her eyes and it’s nothing like what I’ve ever been able to. I’m rambling now but I want to do that,” Spencer spurted out, and once he was done, he took a breath so deep Penelope whole-heartedly believed if he spent one more second talking, he may pass out.
“Woah there, slow down. First of all, that’s adorable. I love Y/N so much. Second of all, how exactly am I supposed to help you see things that way? Shouldn’t she be more help?” Penelope questioned, now completely confused about Spencer’s intentions with this very early morning visit.
“She can’t exactly know. It’s kind of a surprise thing,” Spencer answered shyly. He hadn’t even gotten to the punchline and yet, he was contemplating every move.
Was this a good idea?
But when he saw the way Penelope lit up before she yelled, “Tell me everything, and spare no details. None!” He knew he would stop at nothing to make this perfect.
“So here’s what I was thinking.”
That was 1 year ago today, and since then, Spencer has tried to figure out what to say when he revealed his big project. He stood in front of the mirror every day for 365 days trying to find the perfect way to put it. Still when you sat on your shared couch gazing up at him in amusement, confusion and adoration all at once, his mouth was dry and his throat clamped up.
“Spence, you’re starting to scare me. Are you okay?” You asked, watching as your boyfriend stared at you like a deer caught in headlights with a laptop and assorted cords in his hands.
“Uh, yes! Yes I am okay. I just need to um, this needs to go. You know what? I wasn’t told how to do this part, can you help me?” Spencer paced back and forth between you and the TV four times while he was talking before he stopped defeated in front of you. He wouldn’t have asked for help unless he was certain Penelope was smart enough to insert a black screen in the beginning of what caused the laptop to burn a hole in his hand.
“Yes, of course,” you said, slightly chuckling at his confusion. Spencer Reid and technology, whilst tragic, was also very adorable. “What are you trying to do?”
“I need the video on the laptop to play on the TV,” he stated simply. At least he knew what he wanted. That was a new, first step in the right direction.
“Okay easy. Just hand me that cord, and,” you drew out the ‘and’ as you bent around the TV and plugged in the cord. “Perfect. Now just plug this end into the laptop and hit play.” You handed Spencer back his end of the cord, watching as he examined the object and the side of the computer to know where exactly to put it. It almost felt like watching a toddler try and find the rightly shaped hole for the triangle piece, and you’d be lying if you said it wasn’t endearing.
Before he could break anything, you stepped in. “I know you’d be able to figure it out, but it’s that one.”
“Thank you,” he mumbled back sheepishly. 
“Okay so a little back story. A year ago today, I asked Penelope to teach me how to record videos on my new phone. Thank you for that by the way, the camera on it is really cool, and I’m not just saying that because it’s one of the only things I know how to work. Anyways, I started secretly recording videos of you, of us, anything that reminded me of you, and me talking about you. So I sent them over to Garcia and she pushed them all together, and I think what I’m trying to say is I made a short film? Home video? It doesn’t really matter, but I’m showing it to you now.” Spencer didn’t acknowledge the shocked look on your face as he settled next to you and put the laptop on the coffee table.
But as you watched him find the video and set up, your jaw stayed slack. Spencer Reid, the world’s biggest technophobe, figured out how to use an iPhone camera just for you. While to others it may not seem like a lot, to you. 
To you, it was everything.
“Spence, I don’t even know what to say. This is the sweetest thing anyone’s ever done for me.” It didn’t feel like enough. The amount of awe, and love that filled your chest was so comforting, so warm.
It felt like home. It felt like Spencer.
“You don’t have to say anything, just watch,” he stated before hitting the spacebar, something he’s seen you do plenty of times.
The video started out with Spencer crouching down slightly to where the phone was set up against a bookcase in front of the couch.
“Is it recording?” He whispered, and when he realized it was, he took a step back and gave a thumbs up before rushing to sit on the couch. You couldn’t help but let a full smile stretch across your face, an involuntary act when it came to Spencer.
“Hey, love bug. It’s Spencer, but wait you knew that because you can see me.” There was a small pause as Spencer squinted to see if you could actually see him from his position on the couch. When he realized he was in frame, he continued. “This is totally weird that I’m technically talking to myself right now, but I hope future me gave you an explanation. I tried to wait for a good time to start recording this, and in the two weeks I’ve known how to work that thing,” Spencer said as he pointed to the camera. “We’ve been on a case. I came home tonight, and you’re sleeping right now, but if I stay quiet enough I can say what I need to.”
You looked over at Spencer as he was twiddling with his fingers. Something he only did when he was nervous. You reached over and grabbed one of his hands, giving it a reassuring squeeze, but when you tried to pull away so as to not truly disturb his fidgeting, he caught it. So, you intertwined your fingers together, and continued to watch past Spencer.
“I came home today, and all I wanted to do was hold you. Granted, that’s every day, but today was just, it was really hard. When I came home you were asleep on the couch. One time you told me you didn't like to sleep in our bed while I was away, something about it being too big. At first, I was mad because your poor back, but today I changed my mind because the amount of steps to get to you was much less.”
Spencer unlocked the door to the apartment, resting his head against the wood as he inserted the key into the lock. The most recent case had ended with the death of both the latest victim and the unsub, and he couldn’t bear another second of remembering the scene play out in front of him.
All he wanted to do was lay in her arms, but when he opened the door, the apartment was completely silent.
And then he saw a little fuzzy sock clad foot sticking out from underneath the huge, fluffy blanket on the couch. Slowly, he walked towards you, finding you fast asleep with a t-shirt of his tightly snuggled up to your neck and face.
Spencer got down on a knee in front of you, and brushed the hair that had fallen over your eyes. Slowly, they fluttered open at his feather touch, only to widen with realization.
“You’re home!” You squealed, throwing your hands around his neck. Immediately, he reciprocated the hug, tighter than usual. Spencer tucked his head into your neck and inhaled the scent of your shampoo, a grounding technique he would never tell you he developed. The hands he delicately placed at first across the expanse of your back grew heavier, drawing your body closer to his. 
You pulled your head back, him following your movements, and stared deeply into his eyes for a second. The moment you two locked eyes, he knew the jig was up. Spencer knew you could see right through him, and he knew that even if you weren’t there to witness what he had, you saw it replaying over and over in his eyes.
“You must be tired, let’s get you to bed.” Your words shocked him at first. Usually, the people in his life would ask insistent questions on his mental well-being, and while they were greatly appreciated, Spencer was never one to open up when asked to.
You, however, didn’t meddle, you didn’t push. You simply gave him a place to feel safe as you two settled under the duvet together, never letting go of one another even for a second. You held the back of his head, slowly brushing your fingers through his curls as he laid against your chest. Your fingers were medicinal to him, softly taking away the pain and violence of the day, and replacing it with security, comfort, love.
“No one’s ever been that excited to see me before, let alone knew how to take care of me the way you did. I just,” Spencer trailed off and looked towards our bedroom, where you stirred in your sleep looking for him. “You’re about to wake up and wonder where I went. Now you know what I was doing in “the bathroom” for 30 minutes actually meant. Alright, see you next video, love bug.”
The screen cut to Spencer obviously holding the phone close to his chest, the only thing in frame the space where his shoulder and neck met. The soft chords of the start of Vienna by Billy Joel can be heard from outside the room he was in. 
“Okay, I’m gonna have to sneak up on you. I’m sorry in advance.” 
Spencer finally addressed the camera. As the Spencer on the TV quietly left his position in what you could only assume was your bedroom, you looked over at your very real Spencer softly smiling at the TV.
When he caught your stare, he said “Watch, this is my favorite part.” Turning back to the TV, you watched as Spencer carefully tiptoed to the living room, placing the camera to lean against the vase in the middle of the dinner table to face the kitchen.
In the kitchen, you watched yourself very poorly sing along with Billy Joel using a whisk that you just got done washing as a microphone. The blush that crept up your neck and to your cheeks with embarrassment still felt the same as it did that day.
You hadn’t heard Spencer sneak up on you, not until he was right behind you and let out a soft chuckle at a note you missed. Spencer had never seen someone jump out of their skin as much as you did when he made his presence known. 
“Jesus Spencer, you scared me!” You yelled before a smile crept up your face. You couldn’t help it, even in the most embarrassing times, not when Spencer looked at you like that.
“Sorry, love bug. Although, I didn’t mean for you to stop the show.” At that you hit his chest with the whisk/microphone, both of you laughing fully now. “Come here.”
Spencer took your hand, pulling you softly to his chest where you laid your head to his heart. Wrapping his hand around your waist, the two of you started to slowly sway to the music. You both were incredibly offbeat to Vienna, but listening to Spencer’s heart, you realized that the tempo you were dancing at matched up. Unbeknownst to you, due to the adrenaline of being scared, Spencer could feel your heartbeat on his abdomen, and was swaying to that.
You didn’t know how long you stayed like that, dancing to the in sync beat of each other’s hearts.
The clip of you dancing however only lasted 10 more seconds as the next scene of Spencer bundled up for the fall played. You had met Spencer during the fall, and fell in love with the way the red, yellow and orange leaves contrasted against his honey eyes. This clip was no different.
“Hey, love bug. I’m on my way to deliver this coffee to you in between classes, but I had to stop so I can show you my new friends I’ve made along the way.”
The camera panned down to 4 little ducklings surrounding Spencer’s converse, most of them just waddling around, but one was insistently pecking at the rubber toe of his left shoe. Spencer pointed at the little deviant and said ‘that’s you’ before bringing the camera back up to his face.
“I may have made the mistake of feeding them the fruit I was bringing you, which reminds me I should probably go get you more. I don’t think you’ll be mad though. How could you? Look how cute they are! I kind of want to take them home, but I definitely know that’ll make you mad. Anyways, I just wanted to show off that you’re not always the animal person in this relationship. See you soon, love bug.”
“Oh my god, Spencer. That was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, but to confirm your thoughts, yes, I would’ve been mad,” you stated, the giddy smile never leaving your face, and giggles spreading themselves through your words.
“I know, I know. They belong in the wild,” he said back, holding up his free hand in faux defeat.
A new scene presented itself to you, this one being Spencer setting up the camera on the bathroom sink while brushing his teeth. You knew you were approaching by the music slowly getting louder.
You entered you and Spencer’s shared bathroom, Don’t Go Breaking My Heart by Elton John playing out of your phone. He was brushing his teeth, and you followed suit, not stopping the small dancing as you did.
You looked at Spencer, and started moving side to side, your free hand grabbing the crook of his elbow to join you. Looking in the mirror expectedly, you watched Spencer look up at the ceiling before joining you, a smile on his face.
Slowly, the two of you fell into a rhythm to the beat of Elton John, making funny faces to each other in the mirror as you did so.
You reached out fully to lean your head on Spencer’s shoulder as you watched.
The scene on the TV shifted once again to show a very flustered you standing in front of the TV with Citizen Kane paused. Your hair was in a messy bun, and you were sporting one of Spencer’s old Caltech t-shirts, and fuzzy black pants with little pumpkins printed everywhere.
Spencer was also wearing the same fuzzy pants.
“Spence, I’m gonna sound crazy here,” you sprinting off the couch after pausing the film you were currently trying to study for your film analysis class. 
“You’re not off to a great start here,” Spencer laughed out. Spencer once told you that no matter what he thought about a book or film, he wanted to listen to you ramble about it for hours. The first thing he fell in love with about you was the way you challenged his thinking, expanding his mind to the possibilities of learning about the difference between production design and cinematography. You taught him something that no class, book or person could ever.
Your mouth dropped open, an over exaggerated gasp leaving your lips, your hand meeting your chest softly. 
“Meanie.” Spencer and you chuckled at the antics, and when the laughs died down, you continued. “Here me out, though.”
And from there, you went into a deep dive about the unreliable narrator, and how it affects camera placement in the scene you two just watched. 
“Oh my god. I talk that fast?” You asked Spencer, who just let a breathy laugh out at your realization.
“Don’t worry, I think it’s adorable,” he whispered the last part, the smile on his face turning from one of hilarity to one full of love.
30 seconds into your rant, you realize the phone he was attempting to hide close to his lap. Your eyes flicked between the camera that was pointed at you, and Spencer, who’s face filled with confusion as to why you stopped talking.
“Are you recording me?” You asked, a smile never leaving your face. Oh no, he’d been caught. Spencer has to think of a believable excuse, and quick.
“Uh, yeah, sorry, I just uh... I figured instead of you trying to write it down later, you’d want all your notes now.” Perfect!
“Damn, that was good,” you said, nodding softly at his swiftness. You couldn’t be mad he lied, how could you when the truth was this beautiful?
“I know, right? I came up with it on the spot,” Spencer joked with you. As if TV Spencer knew he was interrupting a moment, a throat clearing came from the video. The Spencer you saw was from 3 days ago, and was sitting in his car in what looked to be the Quantico parking garage.
“Hi, love bug. I’m days away from showing you this, and I still don’t know what to say. I hope the me you’re with now has figured it out. So, uh, yeah. That’s it. Uh, take it away, future Spencer. Actually, you’d be present Spenc-” The video cut off, courtesy of Penelope Garcia.
“Y/N,” Spencer started, turning to face a very emotional you fully. “I still haven’t found the right words. None of them could express my love for you, and perfect doesn’t come close to describing you. I know you have a thing for supporting evidence, and I think I just provided a lot to prove that the best thing to ever happen in my life is you.” You let out a small giggle, the tears welling in your eyes breaking free. “Oh no, if you cry, then I’m going to.”
You let out a full laugh now as Spencer wiped the tears falling down your cheeks before continuing.
“Before you, I was reckless. I didn’t care what happened as long as I did something to help. Now, I have a reason to be careful, a reason to care. I can’t do that to you, and if I’m going to spend the rest of my life with you, I need to live.”
You inhaled softly as Spencer reached into the pocket of his pants, taking your hand in his.
“Which brings me to my question,” he said with a small smile and cocked his head. Slowly, he dropped down to one knee in front of you.
“Y/N Y/L/N, will you marry me?” Spencer opened the velvet box to reveal a simple silver band with a square cut diamond delicately placed on top.
“Spencer Reid, yes. I will marry you.”
With shaky fingers, he slid the ring on your fingers, the fit perfect. You couldn’t wait any longer, and grabbed his face in your hands to pull his lips to yours. Your lips molded together in perfect harmony, lulling you deeper into Spencer’s embrace. 
“I love you,” you whispered against his lips.
“I love you, too,” Spencer answered, only pulling back far enough to mumble before kissing you again.
Note to self: thank Penelope Garcia.

how about tim and marinette jokingly planning world domination and then accidentally carrying it out (to the annoyance of the batfam)??
this was so fun to write and I hope it makes sense! Marinette and Tim are extremely delirious so it was hard to share their thoughts while also having it make sense to the readers... I hope you like it!
“Dick, stop lying! There’s no way we could have done that. There’s no way we “accidentally took over the world.” Do you really think the two of us could have taken out all seven JLA members?” 
“What day is it, Marinette?” Dick asks instead of answering her question. 
“Tuesday,” Tim answers for her. 
“And the number?”
“Nineteenth,” Marinette crosses her arms and looks at Dick impatiently. 
“It’s Saturday the 23rd,” he declares hotly. “Haven’t you been wondering why you’re so hungry this morning? The two of you have been sleeping for 32 hours and had been awake before that for almost an entire week with maybe an hour of sleep a day. But it’s ok! Because before you fell asleep we got you on camera admitting to everything that you’ve done and we have your notes, which you will have to decipher by the way because for some reason you thought it was a good idea to code everything in your notes and you are in so much trouble right now!” 
“Show us,” Marinette was now understandably a little concerned because she totally did have the weirdest dream last night. And was it really the 23rd?
Five minutes later Marinette is standing side by side with Tim watching a video on the bat computer of the two of them in the interrogation room while Dick is questioning them. 
Marinette’s head is resting on the table, clearly sleeping when Dick slams his hand on the table forcing her to snap her head up in alarm. 
“You are NOT going to sleep right now. The last time this happened you couldn’t remember a thing! Tell me everything and I’ll let you go to sleep.”
Tim who has already been sitting up but was still very much asleep and didn’t seem to be affected by Dick’s outburst snaps his eyes open. 
“How dare you!” he bellows causing Dick and Marinette to look at him in surprise, Marinette’s much more exaggerated than Dick’s, “We will never agree to these terms!”
There are a few moments of silence in the video and Tim makes a noise of embarrassment from the back of his throat while Marinette holds back laughter. 
“I wouldn’t laugh quite yet, Marinette,” Dick admonishes. 
“Wait I’m really tired though… ,” Marinette complains to Tim.
“Great!” Dick claps his hands together and turns his attention to Marinette, “after you tell me everything you can go to sleep.”
Marinette nods very seriously then takes a deep breath and shakes her shoulders as if she’s hyping herself up to start a race or lift some heavy weights. She looks at a point on the wall a few feet to the right of Dick’s head and begins speaking as if she is a narrator of a science documentary. 
Marinette cringes, some of the memories coming back to her like how she had believed she had one more mission, and that was to let the audience know the “trials and tribulations of their story” as she had so eloquently thought about it in her head. She watches as Video Marinette recounts their story remembering that she had believed it was a serious story and that the imaginary audience (that she wholeheartedly believed were watching) must understand this.  Her hand goes to her mouth in horror as she watches herself on the screen go silent and stare at the point behind Dick’s shoulder for several awkward minutes, several times throughout the video. She remembers she had been trying to portray the scene that was passing before her mind’s eye for the “audience” to see as well. Clearly it didn’t work.

** italics indicate when Marinette is using her narrating voice and is staring into the “camera” 
** dashes indicate flashbacks
“It was an accident.” Marinette starts, “Really, truly an accident. You can’t blame two delirious teenagers with a combined two hours of sleep within 3 days and half a brain cell to share between them. Honestly you can’t judge them, it’s not their fault the Lustice Jeague- Justilea- Just- Justice. League. Fell for it. You just can’t. It’s not their fault the justice league-”
“Marinette.” Dick interrupts.
“Right. Did I already say that? Well, anyways, point is. Not their fault….” 
-------
Marinette pops her head suddenly and looks conspiratorially at Tim, “Hey.”
“Hmm,” not stopping his clacking away at his computer. 
“Did you know Superman’s biggest weakness is Lois Lane?”
Time grunts in response as if saying, “yeah, what about it?”
“Like, he would literally be incapable of doing anything if Lois Lane was in trouble, like if Lois Lane disappeared so would Superman.” 
“Yeah that’s crazy,” still clacking away at his computer. 
“And do you know what Batman’s biggest weakness is?” 
“Superman?” 
Marinette giggles, “that’s funny. No, his pants.” Tim’s finger’s still as he processes what Marinette just said. “Think about it. If batman has no pants then he would disappear as well. Do you really think Batman would show up anywhere if he had no pants?” A pause. “Batman must really love his pants,” Marinette adds thoughtfully.
Tim begins ferociously clacking away on his computer again. “This is amazing,” he whispers, “we can use this against them! Amazing,” he says, whispering the last word with, well, amazement. 
“I know, right? We could like… take over the world with this information or something.” 
Tim gasps, finally turning to Marinette sprawled on his bed, “we totally could!” Suddenly he looks around and lowers his voice as if sharing a secret, as if there was anyone else besides Marinette to hear anyway. Marinette sits up and leans in excitedly, “we totally could,” he repeats. 
Marinette nods her head enthusiastically, “and we can totally give it back afterwards. Like, it’s no big deal. Just to like, prove we could.” 
Tim’s eyes grow wide and he nods his head with child-like excitement, “let’s do it.” 
-------
“24 hours later, now with 7 hours of sleep between them in four days, Marinette and Tim had developed the most bestestest plan to ever grace the mise of anyone, it was-”
“Mise?” Dick interrupts again, trying to figure out what she was saying. 
Marinette scrunches her face up, “My- mizzzee- my- m- myyy-nnnd. Mind.” She finally corrects then turns her focus back to the imaginary camera, “of anyone who ever lived. It was spectacular.”
“This is horrific.”
“Exactly. So horrible that it worked miraculously. I say that totally seriously. Seriously. No, I am not a miraculous, ask Ladybug.” Marinette then switches demeanor shifts in her seat and asks: “Ladybug?” she shifts in her seat again to slightly face the opposite direction and answers herself, “Yes?” She shifts again. “Are you a miraculous?” Shifts. “No. I am not.” Marinette looks back into the imaginary camera, “See? She says Marinette is not Ladybug….” she trails off for a moment, her head slowly dropping indicating she was very close to falling asleep. 
“I can’t believe this is happening.” Marinette snaps her head back up.
“Oh but it has. Tim and Marinette had targeted every single weak point of every JMLA member, the Jumpstice League stood no chance against the duo. Tim crafted a device that tracked Lois Lane, gathering any and all data on her to mimic her, including her heartbeat and scent so that Superman would be properly duped. Setting the trap in his very own house-” she suddenly cuts herself off and looks between Tim and Dick, “by the way did you know? That man is like, super weak to Kryptonite. It would have been so much easier to know that in the beginning. And also that he has a cousin? She’s very pretty, right, Tim?” She turns to her boyfriend who is looking at her with a soft smile.
“Mmhm. You’re very pretty.” 
Marinette ignores him and continues, “So Tim and Marinette trapped him in a cage of kryptonite-”
“You did WHAT!?”
“-and he totally passed out, the two heroes are still a bit confused why he was making such a big deal about it.” Marinette pays no mind to Dick as he reaches out and shakes his hands like he wants to strangle her neck.  “Tim then crafted a signal miminicking a detest call-”
“Distress,” Dick corrects. 
“-distress call from Themyscira rendering Wonder Woman unavailable. Unfortunately for her and fortunately for us it was her birthday and since I’m good friends with Momma Wonder,” she abruptly turns to Dick and points a finger at him as if he was a five year old in trouble and adds: “that’s Queen Hipopotolia to you, Mister,” before turning back, “they threw her a total rager,” again changing her demeanor and rolls her eyes “which I’m missing right now by the way, so she’ll be gone for a few more days, those gals really know how to party…. 
“Then the Flash. He was easier than the two expected, they meanly- I mean merely, well, meanly too- slapped a speed force inhibitor around his wrists. He couldn’t tap into the speed force to vibrate through it, he couldn’t cut it off, he would definitely die including everyone else in a mile radius-” Marinette swivels her head to Dick and smacks the table,”-nuclear bombs are SUPER dangerous by the way, you really don’t want to mess with them. 
“He couldn't contact anyone, any electric device he came across was rendered useless due to Tim’s genius, once again. 
“You’re so smart, baby, they couldn't have done this without you,” she adds out of the blue looking at Tim with a proud smile 
“Mhmm. You’re so pretty,” he repeats while Dicks drops his head into his hands. 
“They knew the Flash had friends so they did what they had to and locked him in one of those big containers that you sometimes see on trains and sometimes see on big ships and is currently in the middle of the ocean. Also that inhibitor thingy works as a shock collar too so like screaming electrocutes him preeeetty bad.”
“If the JLA doesn’t kill the both of you, I will.”
“The Martian Manhunter, well, you know what they say, show, don’t tell…. Marinette looks deep into the “camera” willing it to see what she was seeing.
--------
“J’onn J'onzz.” The green alien turns around to find two young adults who looked uncharacteristically professional, hands clasped behind their straight backs and serious expressions.
“...Ladybug. Red Robin. What can I do for you?” J’onn places an alien piece of tech down to focus on the two of them. Unfortunately he could not read Ladybug’s mind when she was in the suit and Red Robin’s mind was a mess of noises and jumbled thoughts that made no sense whatsoever, except one that was a bit louder than the rest and was repeated like a mantra. 
Christmas eve, 1998. 
J’onn tensed, “What do you want,” he demanded more than asked, overly concerned about how and why that thought was in Red Robin’s mind. 
“Nothing. Exactly that. Nothing,” Ladybug responded. “We need you to leave, to go somewhere for a few days and to not resurface or interfere in any way, shape, or form. And in return we will delete anything and everything that ever existed on Christmas Eve of 1998. It’ll be like it never existed.” 
“I can’t do that.” 
Ladybug suddenly broke her composure and groaned. “Oh come oooon, We promise no one will get hurt!” she linked her hands together and gave the Martian a pout, “pleeaaseee?” 
“The last time you two were like this you “accidentally” created a multimillion dollar company solely based on cosplay.” Ladybug was not phased and Tim was still chanting Christmas Eve, 1998 in his head, the boy probably wasn’t even aware time had passed since he got there. J’onn sighed, whatever they were up to it probably wasn’t too big of a deal. “Fine. But I want proof everything is deleted.” 
“Yess, it’s a deal, big man. See you in a few days! C’mon Tim.” 
“Can I stop repeating that thing in my head now?”
------
“Marinette.”
She breaks and looks at Dick impatiently, “I’m telling a story right now, what do you want?”
“You’ve been staring at the wall for 5 minutes straight, where is Martian Manhunter?”
“Oh I don’t know, he should be back on Tuesday though,” she shrugs and nods at the same time but like a switch has been flipped she is serious again. “As for Aquaman? Well, he has his own problems in the undersea. As you know the detective of Justice is Batman, Aquaman? Not much of a detective at all. But, having a mystery that needed to be solved in the undersea would have to be done with the bat’s assistance. However, Batman had his own problems to mace. 
“Face?”
“Yes. A problem that he will never be able to solve without asking for little help of his own. Unfortunately for him, his pride and dignity was on the verge of devolution- devil- devolve… ded- destru- destruction! Also all communication to Alfred was severed and he was sent to the Bahamas to relax since Tim and Marinette promised that since Batman would not be able to be fight he would be safe.”
“Ohhh is that where he went? No wonder there was no breakfast this morning.” Tim drops his hand supporting his face and looks at Marinette in wonder. 
“Babe we went over this like one time, you should know this.”
“Oh, right, yeah… I still haven’t eaten.” Tim lays his head down on his arm sadly and promptly falls asleep. 
“And last, and definitely least, Green Lantern. Marinette, miraculoused in her all-black ninja suit- wait no- no miraculous involved, it was just black clothes,” Marinette trailed off and snorted. “I really just stole the Green Lanterns ring… It was uhhh, it was actually kind of easy….
“Marinette had slipped the ring from Hal’s hand and put it on her own, quickly and quietly slipping out the way she came but not before taking the battery thing that powers the ring and stealing every single cup in the house. The ring had then proved useful as it assisted in Marinette’s journey.”
“Wait. How?” 
Marinette shrugs as if it weren’t such a big deal when it definitely was. “I don’t know, it actually gave me a little speech about going to Goodwill and then told me I was a lantern. Wait, do you think someone would have bought me if I posed as a lantern…? Oh yeah! I totally had a green suit and everything, it was crazy. Look! I still have it,” she stuck her hand out to show Dick, the thick green ring almost making contact with his face as she practically jumped over the table to show him. “I don’t want to give it back to Hal though it’s like… a really cool ring,” she says sadly as she sits back down, not giving Dick an actual chance to look at the ring. 
“Ok. Ok.” Dick drags a hand through his hair in frustration. “What about batman? Where is he?”
Marinette shoots both of her hands up and points at the one way mirror behind Dick’s head, “Boom! Right behind ya in that there mirror.” Then she again turns to the imaginary camera to continue her saga.
“Batman. The easiest, yet most difficult. The smartest, yet most helpless. And though Marinette and Tim wish they could have said they did it alone, they desperately needed the help of a certain… seductress.” 
---
Selena Kyle leans a hip into the counter of a kitchen, quietly making tea when a dark red and black tangle of something falls through an open window and crashes onto the floor, bumping into the family dining table and rattling the vase of wilting flowers. Selena curses loudly and goes to flee but realizes what, or rather who the pile of dark red and is. It’s Red Robin and Ladybug, otherwise known as Tim Drake and Marinette Dupain-Cheng. 
The two groan loudly and clumsily untangle themselves and flop on the ground next to each other apparently too lazy to stand up at the moment. 
“Hey,” Ladybug says, moving her head to the side to look at the standing woman. 
“Hey,” Selena takes a sip of her tea and almost laughs when she realizes that Red Robin had either been knocked out or  had simply fallen asleep. 
Ladybug’s words are slurred together when she says, “we need your help,” while slowly blinking. Either she was on something, very drunk, or very sleep deprived. Knowing the two of them and considering Red Robin was fast asleep on the floor it was probably the sleep deprivation. 
Selena acts as though she’s considering it even though she would help regardless, whatever it was these two were planning she wanted in. 
“Only if you agree to owe me a favor.” 
Ladybug (who had closed her eyes for a moment) snapped her eyes open and grinned, quite evilly, “what we’re planning will be favor enough.” Then, as if the conversation had ended, rolled her head around taking her surroundings in, “this isn’t your house.” 
Selena chuckles, “no it’s not, but you found me here anyways.”
“Ohhhhh, right I forgot about that, do you know the person who owns this house?” Selena shakes her head and Marinette hums in response, wandering her eyes over the kitchen. “So what do you say about the pant situation?” 
“The what?”
------
“The mystery woman had easily fallen for the trap. With her help, Tim and Marinette had almost succeeded in world domination, all that was left was to carry out the plans….”
---
Dick pauses the video and turns to the two heroes who were blushing furiously and fidgeting, waiting until they could bolt. 
“I thought you were going to sit there for a few more minutes then start talking again but you just kept sitting there until I realized you had fallen asleep with your eyes open.” He huffed and started to type into the computer again. “You’re lucky none of the JLA members got hurt or that this-” he clicks a file “video did not get out to the world.”
Ladybug and Red Robin stand in a professional stance with hands clasped behind their backs, they were standing slightly off-center of the screen with an empty JLA table behind them.  
“Good evening, world. I am Ladybug.”
“And I am Red Robin.”
“We have single handedly disposed of the JLA.”
“They will no longer terrorize our world-”
“Burn down our cities-”
“Trample us underfoot-”
“Wait-” Ladybug breaks character and turns to Red Robin, “are we describing Godzilla?”
Red Robin furrows his brow for a moment before bursting out in laughter, grabbing onto Ladybug and dragging her down into hysterics as well. They fall to the floor out of view of the camera but their guffaws are still spilling over the speakers very loudly. 
Several minutes later they stand up, wiping their tear-streaked cheeks.
“Anyways,” Red Robin continues, a chuckle still present in his voice, “We totally have taken over the world and you!” he points into the camera.
“Are!” Ladybug repeats his movement.
“Under our control!” they chorus together, pointing their thumbs at themselves as if this were some sort of disney channel ad, some sort of joke and that they hadn’t just literally threatened world domination, hadn’t just succeeded in world domination. 
They held the pose for a moment before Red Robin relaxed, Ladybug held her pose and continued to look into the camera while Red Robin reached up and paused the video.
“Luckily,” Dick begins, “You streamed the video straight to your own computer and not to the entire world, and luckily, you left your computer open on the dining tables for Duke to see it and for the rest of us, minus Jason,” he adds hotly, “to fix your mess.” 
“At least you caught the perpetrator?” Marinette adds helpfully, her voice going up like a question and her face scrunched up hoping that the comment would placate Dick.
It did not. 
Bonus:
Dick has both Marinette and Tim sitting side by side in an interrogation room, Tim is smiling and staring at Marinette with hearts in his eyes and sighing happily every once in a while Marinette is staring intently at the wall a few feet to the right of Dick’s head and talking as if she were the narrator of the documentary of her Tim’s “adventure” of literally taking over the world. 
“This is insane.” Bruce Wayne whispers behind the one way glass with a towel wrapped around his waist, every single pair of pants he owned was still missing. And would continue to be missing until he admitted he needed help, the rest of the batfam had collectively agreed to not help him until he asked for help, much to Bruce’s chagrin. 
Bonus Bonus: 
The video is shaky but clear, it’s facing a dingy empty stage with a lone mic stand in the middle at what seems to be Karaoke night in an even dingier bar. The crowd is mostly quiet save for the buzz of conversation until the start of “Fantasy” by Mariah Carey starts and everyone cheers. The camera violently shakes and Hal Jordan’s voice booms through the speakers,
“Let’s go babyyyyy!!” 
A few moments later and J’onn J’onzz, in his human form, hops onto the stage clearly hammered and most definitely not in control of his actions. He dances awkwardly around the stage until the first lyrics on the screen behind him light up. 
“Oh when you walk by every night, talkin sweet and lookin fine, I get kinda hectic inside,” along with the words he points to someone in the crowd then puts the back of his hand to his forehead to indicate “swooning”. 
“Oh baby, I’m so into you,” he clumsily hops off the stage and staggers over to someone at one of the front tables. The video zoomed in for a bit and focuses on the woman who briefly looks around her table with a laugh and she raises her strong arms, welcoming the drunk martian. 
“Darling, if you only knew,” J’onn’s smile was so wide and he laughed into the mic instead of singing the next few lyrics. He forced Wonder Woman’s chair from the table with his telekinesis, and with an excessive amount of exaggeration he circled the chair, dragging his hand over her face. The other women, more Amazons by the looks of their arms, pounded the table howling in laughter. 
“But it’s just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby, When I close my eyes, you come and take me,” he circles to her front and boops her nose as he sings “take me” before turning around and facing the stage. 
“On and on and on,” he looks back at Wonder Woman seductively and winks, “it’s so deep in my daydreams,” he hops back on the stage, “but it’s just a-” his foot gets tangled in the mic’s cords and his voice is cut off when he tries to save himself from smashing into the ground. 
He fails. 
Laughter erupts in the bar and the camera is slammed onto a table and Hal’s wheezing is heard above the others before the video cuts off.
phew *wipes brow* that was... actually a loooooottttt, but I hope it made you laugh and i really hope it wasn’t confusing to read! *smiles awkwardly and waves* byee....

→ pu$$y fairy — a jeongguk scenario
member: jeon jungkook
word count: 3.2k
genre: smut + college!au + jeongguk and oc are in a weird fwbs without the friendship part just the benefits except jaykay lowkey has feelings + virginity au
warnings: virgin!oc / blowjob / we talk about dicks for a bit / oc is strange / jaykay is confused / cum swallowing / first times / not really edited / mingyu the meddling best fwend
soundtrack: on the way, jhene aiko + hold on (slowed and reverb), the internet
Tumblr media
Jeongguk doesn’t hate Mingyu. He truly doesn’t. He is one of his closest friends after all; he’d held him up after Jeongguk had dumped half a keg down his throat and his legs had promptly collapsed.  He’d also been a successful wingman for when Jeongguk was aiming to add Seolhyun to the list of girls he’d bagged, sent pictures of his organic chemistry notes when Jeongguk had missed more than half of the classes in high school and didn’t laugh at him when he was heart-broken over Sua and borderline depressed. He was a true friend; someone Jeongguk could rely on. It was a simple brother-like relationship that Jeongguk deeply treasured. So no, he could never hate Mingyu – but he could absolutely long to punch that insufferable asshole in the face.
He should have known this was going to go downhill exceptionally fast the moment you stumbled into his room, wide-eyed and nervous in your unsure steps. When his pants had hit the ground, the shock in your eyes was a dead giveaway to how messy this whole arrangement was going to be. The second clear sign was when you jumped out his window because the sight of his bare dick terrified you.
And this was all the result of Mingyu being a meddling shit who didn’t know when to mind his business.
He remembers it with a clarity that makes his shoulders tense, how Mingyu had snuck you into the conversation while twisting a soju bottle in his hands.
“Yo… JK…. You mind if I ask you a question?” He’d said. Jeongguk shrugged, focused on flipping the meat on the grill because he was starving and the prospect of cooked meat was a lot more appealing than feigning interest in a conversation. “Alright…," Mingyu took his silence as a cue to speak. “Have you ever fucked a virgin?”
He should have known then. He really should have known.
“I don’t know. I don’t ask any questions when I’m hard,” Jeongguk had replied, unknowing of the dangerous path this conversation was guiding him down.
“Yeah and most of the time you don’t fuck on an actual bed. I’m not even surprised you don’t ask questions.”
“Hey!” Jeongguk had swung the tongs around. “I ask important ones, like consent and making sure we’ve got a condom around. But virginity? Not my concern.”
“Seems a bit…. Whorish to me.”
“Not whorish. I just have my priorities elsewhere… Like cumming for example.”
Mingyu had sighed as he poured him a shot, the air leaving his lips heavy. “I shouldn’t even be asking you to be honest. You’re a decent guy but your kind of a dickhead when it comes to sex.”
“How does not pondering on virginity make me dickhead? Again, as I said, priorities are elsewhere.”
“Dude you’ve never even tried to have meaningful sex at least once in your life. When was the last time you were actually emotionally invested in the person you were sleeping with? Hmm?”
The answer was Sua and he knew that but Mingyu was decent enough to keep her name out of his mouth, the judging look in his eyes saying enough.
“You know… I don’t do well with the whole emotional thing. I prefer it physical. It’s less messy. But what does this even have to do with virginity?” Jeongguk hated to admit it but he was somewhat interested in where this conversation was going. If only he knew it was leading to a massive train wreck of the one thing, he steered clear from – emotions.
Mingyu had just sighed again, tipping the soju bottle into his shot glass once more. “There’s a girl who I’d like you to meet.”
He’d scoffed, mouth stuffed with a perilla leaf wrap. “You know I don’t do blind dates.”
“It’s not a blind date,” Mingyu had retorted, the glance he threw at his friend’s direction precarious. “She wants you to take her virginity.”
Jeongguk had choked. Of course, he had. Even if sex didn’t mean much to him, taking someone’s first time like that felt very transactional. And Jeongguk wasn’t that big of a dickhead. But then Mingyu had opened his mouth, spewing various details about your life to him that he would rather have not heard over a KBBQ lunch. You were a friend from one of his business lectures, rather eccentric but sweet and funny. You were also a virgin and terrified of approaching men on your own, one of the reasons Mingyu had sprung up this arrangement. Jeongguk wasn’t one to fall into things like this but it was too late. Mingyu was a marketing major for a reason, he knew how to spin words in his favour, convince people into agreeing to things that they normally would not. And that’s how Jeongguk found himself staring at your retreating figure after you’d thrown your body right out his window, landing hard on the lawn of the house he rented with Namjoon and Seokjin. The crazy thing was that you’d gotten up immediately, not showing any sign of a broken bone or injuries, before promptly sprinting down the road to the bus stop. He should have known then. He really should have known. And yet, here he is, pants discarded on the floor of his room and his dick aching from being unrelieved for longer than it’s ever been, while you crouch over him, squinting at his penis like it’s a foreign object that could kill you.
“Could you please stop staring at my penis like that.” He says it out of frustration, but also the way you’re examining his length makes him feel self-conscious in a way he hasn’t felt like in a long time.
“Sorry,” you murmur, not breaking eye contact with his dick. “I’m just… fascinated. It’s rather….” The sentence tapers out and you swallow hard as if it pains you to admit it, “...Ugly.”
Jeongguk decides then and there he hates you.
“I mean... It’s not that it’s ugly!” you swiftly attempt to amend, catching the glare he directs at you. “It’s also big!”
“I know. And you just said it was ugly,” Jeongguk retorts, weighing the options in his head. Either get a poor blowjob from a girl he’s terrified of (but also bizarrely attracted too) or kick you out of his room and finish himself off. The situation sucks either way but it’s better than the last time when you’d leapt out of the window like a gazelle.
“I misspoke,” you say, gently falling onto your knees. You flash him a shy smile, a soft delicate little thing that makes your eyes glitter and Jeongguk instantly picks the first option. “It’s just different to what I expected it to look like.”
He scoffs, swallowing hard on the sudden lump in his throat. “There’s no way you haven’t seen a dick before. You don’t watch porn?”
The grimace you make is enough of an answer. “I have… Not all the time though, it’s too much for me sometimes. Also, it’s weird seeing it in real life and not, like, through a screen.”
“Noted. But still, it’s not that ugly,” Jeongguk murmurs, trying not to compare his penis to the visuals he has in his head. His pride is wounded from that comment he won’t deny it.
“It kinda is,” you reply. Jeongguk flicks your forehead in retaliation. “Ow! Why’d you do that.” There’s that stupid pout in your lips as you glower at him. He despises how his dick twitches at the sudden thought of your pretty mouth wrapped around his length. Despises it even more when you gasp at the slight motion trembling through him. “It moves?!”
“Yeah,” Jeongguk sighs, wondering how on Earth you’re over the age of twenty and still like this. “It does. Also, don’t insult my dick. It’s rude.”
“Sorry again,” you pause as if you’re considering whether what you might utter next is offensive. You open your mouth anyway, unable to comprehend the fact that your words are slowly chipping away at his ego. “It’s kinda scary that it moves.”
“Oh my god, you are the literal worst.” Jeongguk thinks his boner might evaporate. It’s a miracle it’s lasted this long. You’d sauntered into his room around half an hour again and he’d been hard from the get-go. Truly amazing his balls hadn’t shrivelled up yet. “You know you’re about to blow me off right?”
“I know… I’m stupid,” you counter, eyebrows furrowing together like you’re attempting to figure out exactly how Jeongguk’s dick works. It’d be very simple if you just asked him. It’s essentially an up and down motion, some swirls, a lot of wetness. Nothing too difficult. But when you glance up at him, the innocent glaze over your eyes almost hopeless, he can tell it feels the same as defusing a bomb. “I just… Don’t know what to do. Show me?”
And there it is - the foolish little thing that landed Jeongguk here half-naked on the edge of his bed in the first place. Even though you were mildly repulsed by the male autonomy you were still so eager to learn. Something Jeongguk didn’t know he would be into until you posed that question and his balls tightened in a way they have never done before.
“Okay,” he mumbles, hoping you don’t suspect the twitch that runs through his length when you say that. Not like you would, to be fair.
But then you sweep your hair back, lean in fast, no preparation or anything before your breath is brushing against his crotch and Jeongguk nearly screams.
“Woah, woah, woah! I thought you just asked me to show you? What are you doing?” Maybe he scuttles further down the bed, terrified of the rush of heat you send straight to his gut.  
Your eyes flicker upward, bright and ingenuous. “Am I doing it wrong?”
“You’re not -,” Jeongguk sighs breath weighing through the air. “You’re not doing it wrong. I just think... We should go slow right? It’s your first time? Maybe don’t rush into it?”
“I watched a YouTube video and they said to do it like that,” you reply. Jeongguk can’t help but blink at you, brain reeling from attempting to understand your being.
“You watched a - never mind. You’re giving me a headache. And I thought you knew nothing. Porn would have been a better research alternative but to each their own.”
“I did it for preparation! I didn't know it’d be this nerve-wracking in real life. And, I told you, real dicks are gross. She used a dildo.”
“How is a dildo any different to a real dick?” Jeongguk fingers dig into the mattress a little harder when you lean it once more, gingerly resting your head against his knee.
“It’s just different. Less grotesque. And they come in various colours.”
He might just actually scream. “It’s literally made to replicate a penis.”
You sigh, your breath skipping against his skin. The room is suddenly tight, closing in on him and you’re not even really touching him. And then you catch your lip between your teeth, pressing down with a quick thoughtful bite. “I think you’re deflecting right now.”
“I’m not,” he splutters. “Why would I even be deflecting right now?”
“I mean, we’re having a conversation about dildos when your dick is hard and I’m meant to be blowing you. Sounds like deflection doesn’t it?” He hates the way your eyes glitter, bright and captivating as your gaze locks into his.
“Like I said,” Jeongguk retorts, “We should take it slow.”
“Okay then. I’m done talking about dildos unless you have anything else to add?”
“I don’t,” he murmurs, “Okay then, onto giving a blowjob.”
“Onto giving a blowjob,” you reiterate. And then, like a psychopath, you smile. “Where should I start?”
He hates that body is on edge right now, hands trembling even though he hides them by squeezing his bed-sheets tight. “Try giving it a lick first? You can put your hand around the base too - if you want to.”
“Here?” His knees nearly buckle when you wrap your warm palm around his length, grip firm around the base of his cock. But that’s nothing to the gentle lap of your tongue against the side of his cock, a quick little thing and nearly launches him off the bed.
“Oh - uh - yeah, there.” His voice sounds far off and without warning your mouth is against him once more, tongue a sinful little thing that slips along his length, wet and warm and so sneaky he’s unsure of what to respond with apart from an instinctual buck of his hips. It’s easy like this, your tongue pressed against his cock and your hands slowly dragging upwards, placing a perfect pressure along his length that leaves him sighing into the air of his bedroom. Your movements grow more direct, reading the increasing desperation in Jeongguk’s body as he moves closer and closer to you, waiting until you feel sure enough. And then, finally, your mouth sinks onto him.
He nearly whimpers. Nearly. There’s a heat pooling in his gut and ebbs through every muscle and nerve, the coil of his desire springing tighter with each inch that slips down your throat. You take him so well, Jeongguk can’t help but watch in awe, the wideness in your eyes making him harder than he’s ever been in his life. Even with your inexperience, the way you swallow his cock is obscene. It’s an imagery Jeongguk engraves in his memory, purposefully stored because he knows he’ll think about it whenever his desires override his logical thoughts again. You lap him up like you want this, a soft moan echoing from your throat and along his length as you move deeper, mouth plaint to his dick. He forces himself to sit still, give you the time to adjust, lick and taste to your leisure, forcing the impending wave of heat back down into his gut. He holds it there even when you move away, the sound of your wet mouth popping off his dick permeating the air.
And of course, you lick your lips afterwards, a swift swipe of your pink tongue against them, your eyes trained on his.
“Like that?” you ask.
Jeongguk’s going to die. He is. And you’ll be the reason why listed on his death certificate.
“Yeah,” he murmurs, chest tight with want. “Like that.”
You lean back in without question, mouth taking his length like you were made for it and your hand works against the parts of him you can’t reach just yet. His mind wanders as his eyes take in this sight of you, on your knees and mouth open wide just for him. Someday he’d like to see if you could truly take his length, all of it. Down your throat. Hard and fast like his hips wanted to go. But this is more than perfect. How you concentrate on blowing him like you want to see him spill himself down your throat. It’s almost adorable, the earnestness in your gaze every time your eyes flicker upwards as your mouth moves along his cock. He likes this more than he’s willing to admit, the slowness in your pace, how your tongue is shy sometimes when it laves against his tip. It’s a change from what he usually gets - and a welcome one too. A tiny part of him feels like it would be fitting to hold your hand. You’re so pretty too, especially when your lips are on him. He’d like to take care of you, see what your face looked like when his tongue was deep inside of you, know what your taste like as you moan out his name. He doesn’t even register the words as they leave his mouth, head lost in the images colouring his thoughts.
“Taking me so well, baby,” he can’t help the grunt, the pet name natural to him, “So pretty with my cock in your mouth.”
And you hum like you like it - like you like pleasing him, sinking further down until his tip bumps against the back of your throat. The zip down his spine nearly sends him spiralling.
“Baby,” he feels it then, when your eyes shift to meet his, the snap in his gut. “F-fuck, I’m gonna cum. You need to stop right now if you don’t want to down your throat.”
But you don’t, moving faster like the twitch of his dick in your mouth spurs him on, your lips firm as they wrap around him. He doesn’t hold in his moves this time, hips gently moving up to meet your mouth, the tremor running through his bulky thighs nothing but a warning before it hits him hard. A wave of heat, melting through his muscles as his eyes flutter shut, your tongue lapping him right up, no protest as he unravels down your throat. It’s over in an instant but Jeongguk feels like mush, head floating and his bones soft with how hard his back hits the mattress. You pull off his length a second later, letting him feel you swallow all of him first.
“Holy shit.” His mouth is still disconnected from his brain.
There’s a beat of silence, so awkward that Jeongguk shuffles himself back onto his elbows even though his bones feel like giving way. And then your laugh tinkles through the air, a soft gentle thing that makes his heart seize in his chest.
“That… wasn’t so bad,” you say, staring at him with an ease that spikes an urge to press his lips against yours in his heart.
“Oh,” he replies, like an idiot. “You liked it?”
“Well, it didn’t suck… pun intended. Your moans are really loud.”
Jeongguk blushes - he blushes - even after the stupid joke you made.
“Um, yeah. I do, I guess. Sorry, I kind of forgot to show you what to do. But you’re a bit of a natural, to be honest.” He abhors the diffidence in his voice.
“I guessed that,” you retort, the smile on your face hypnotic, “From your really loud moaning.”
“Can you - fuck how do you ruin any intimate moment when it happens?”
“Guess I’m a natural at that too,” you say it with a laugh, and Jeongguk can’t help the smile that tugs against his lips.
“Um,” he tries, fully aware of the front view seat you were getting of his soft dick. He sits up to try and shield it, feeling awfully exposed. “If you’d like… I could return the favour?”
“No, I’m good.” There’s zero hesitation in your voice and you’re up before Jeongguk can think of a decent excuse to keep you in his room. “Maybe another time? I’ll text you. Bye Jeongguk.”
It’s then he regrets not encouraging you to undress earlier, his assumption that this would be the worst blowjob of his life incredibly incorrect. Perhaps if your clothes were scattered around his bedroom he could have found a way to convince you into his sheets while you searched for them. But you’re fully dressed, already bounding out of his door like his dick wasn’t down your throat moments ago. He watches you go with forlornness, mouth dry with words he’s incapable of expressing at this very instance and his heart oddly warm at the sight of your skipping away with a carefreeness he admires. He still hates that you’re leaving, perhaps the only positive of this situation is that you’re using his bedroom door instead of his window.
“Bye,” Jeongguk mumbles into the vacant air. You don’t even catch it, shooting him a quick grin before you’re bounding down the stairs as if this doesn’t even matter to you. A stumble on a stepping stone to something greater. He plucks up his phone, pants still lost somewhere on the floor. Blocking Mingyu for twenty-four hours should be enough of a punishment, right?

The spy who loved me.
Smut ahead. Like, seriously. Smut.
It had been a long time, a very long time, since seeing Eggsy. Even professional spies weren’t immune to the restrictions and rules when it came to lockdown. The daily texts, phone calls, and video chats had satiated your need for contact with him only so much, and you were both desperate for some intimacy with one another in person. At this point even the thought of holding his hand was enough to make you feel giddy; those slender fingers of his linked with yours again before exploring your body… it was positively breath taking.
Eggsy had stayed in London with his mum and sister in the new house he’d purchased for them only a couple of weeks before the world turned upside down and finally, now that lockdown was being lifted and you could form bubbles with other households, you were on your way to join them thanks to your job allowing you to continue to work from home; not that you were planning on working too much when you arrived. Butterflies were fluttering around your stomach as you pull up on the driveway and see his car parked half in and half out of the garage, and when you knock on the door your heart leaps as you see his familiar shadowy figure walk towards it.
He opens the door with a breathy ‘hey’ and you immediately fall into his chest before his arms wrap themselves around the body he’d missed so very much the last few months. The two of you stand there for what seems like hours yet minutes all at the same time, only separating when you shiver from the cool breeze blowing around both of you in the doorway. His hands stay on your arms as he leans away with a smile to take in the sight of you standing there in person finally, then he bends down to scoop your suitcase up and leads you inside, kicking the door shut behind you both.
“I can’t believe you’re here,” he sighs in disbelief as places your luggage down at the foot of the stairs before taking you through to the large lounge, “is this actually real?”
You press your lips to his in what begins as quite an innocent kiss but ends as a desperate, sloppy, heated embrace as he pushes you against the nearest wall before his hands begin to explore every inch of skin he can possibly touch underneath your top. Your hands grab at his jeans blindly, trying to find his belt so you could set him free from the confines of his underwear, and the two of you are freely moaning at the heightened feel of touching one another after so long. Neither of you hear the front door open and then close again, and Eggsy’s mum has to loudly clear her throat for the two of you to even notice that someone else was in the room.
“Shit!” Eggsy gasps, facing away as he does his jeans up.
“Oh my god,” you whisper with hot cheeks as you smooth your clothes down, “I’m so sorry Mrs. Unwin.”
“Sorry mum!”
“I think it can be forgiven under the current circumstances,” she chuckles, “good to see you again (Y/N)!”
Daisy sits in her pram giggling at her own foot and your heart melts at the sight of her, “it’s lovely to see you both, Daisy’s grown so much!”
“She’s eating us out of house and home!” Michelle exclaims, “she’s going through the longest growth spurt I’ve ever known of!”
“Well that’s lucky, because a little birdie told me that she’s partial to a certain dinosaur shaped biscuit, and I happen to have a couple of packs of them in my suitcase.”
“You’re a life saver,” she sighs in relief, “Eggsy, why don’t you show her around the house? I guess you didn’t quite get that far...”
“Will do mum,” he nods as a blush creeps up his cheeks, “this way.”
He picks your suitcase up and leads you up the floating staircase as you take in the very modern and expensive surroundings you now find yourself in.
“Bloody hell Eggs, this house is amazing!” you exhale in disbelief as your fingers glide along the wall.
“Nice, init?”
“Nice? Bit of an understatement!”
“Wait until you see our room… the walk in shower is to die for,” he says with a wink and a light bite of his lip, “plus we’re the opposite end of the top floor so we don’t need to be too quiet.”
You give his arm a playful slap and he takes your hand as the two of you head to his side of the house and the more than generous bedroom he got to call his own until life could continue as normal. It felt as if you were in an episode of Grand Designs with how modern and clean everything was, and you walk through the wardrobe space with long rails either side of you filled with variations of the same suit to the extravagant en suite with charcoal tiles lining the floor and walls and the biggest walk in shower you’d ever seen in your life; only one sheet of glass slap bang in the middle of the room to separate the shower area and the toilet and sink.
“This is literally bigger than my flat,” you groan, “I think I need to become a spy as well.”
“Don’t even joke about that,” Eggsy scolds as his brow furrows, “anyway, you’ve got me, and what’s mine is yours.”
“Yeah but that’s not fair for me to rely on you like that, plus I don’t have anything to give you in return.”
“Uh… I would disagree with that statement…”
“Huh?” you question as you look up at the square shower head and wonder what it must feel like underneath it.
You’re so transfixed by the fitting you don’t even notice Eggsy creep up to you until his sultry breath flows over your ear, “you have plenty to give me,” he whispers.
You shiver involuntarily as his fingers creep their way around your hips before walking along into the waistband of your jeans. Your head rolls back to lean on his shoulder as your hands grip firmly onto his forearms while his fingers tease your lips apart and stroke along your hidden folds gently, and you can feel his own excitement at the intimate touch against your backside.
“What would you two like for dinner?” Michelle shouts up the stairs, tearing you both away from your quiet moment and forcing you back to reality with a jolt.
Eggsy groans in frustration as he reluctantly retracts his hands from your body and you find yourself now completely worked up and more than ready for him to show you exactly what you’d been missing the last few months. A sigh escapes your lips as you steady yourself on the shower screen and Eggsy can see just how desperate you are to continue what he’d just started.
“I’m sorry,” he whispers.
“It’s fine, I just didn’t realise how much I missed that.”
What the two of you needed right now was, quite simply, a fuck; something that would just purely release the initial tension that had built during lockdown. You had plenty of time to make love romantically now that you were staying there, and you could take your time with it hen Michelle and Daisy were out doing the food shop or something, but what you needed at this precise moment was a quick and messy release. The two of you look at one another, knowing exactly what was going to happen, and Eggsy quickly runs downstairs to give his mum an idea of what you wanted to eat that would take at least half an hour or so to give you a small window of opportunity.
“Right,” he exhales as he shuts the bedroom door behind him when he returns, “oh…” he pauses as he sees you’re already in his bed, your clothes and underwear in a pile on the floor next to it, and he discards his own clothing on his way over to you.
“How long have we got?” you ask as he settles on top of your body and adjusts the duvet accordingly.
“Like half an hour I think?” he grins before removing his glasses and leaning down to kiss you.
He’s almost pressing his entire body weight onto you as your mouths move around one another’s in a sloppy kiss that’s more teeth and saliva than anything else in all honesty, and your hands are grabbing at every inch of skin you can get a hold of as he manoeuvres himself between your legs hastily and carefully guides his length inside your already slick walls that had been waiting for him for what seemed like so long. The sensation of him inside you and his body on top of yours once more is overwhelming, and it doesn’t take you long to fall into a fast and needy rhythm as you two of you moan unashamedly while the bed rocks beneath you. This is exactly what you both needed; passionate, hot, fast, handsy, loud sex. It was purely to scratch an itch that was in desperate need of attention, and as the need to orgasm heightens with each deep thrust you find yourselves going out of rhythm as the aching for release takes over.
“Eggsy… Eggsy!” you moan as his lips attempt to kiss your neck.
“Fuck, (Y/N), I ain’t gonna last,” he pants against your skin.
The sound of your bodies slapping against one another in quick succession drifts up from underneath the duvet and the two of you are truly lost in the haze of impending orgasms just as Michelle opens the door while asking a question that isn’t even distinguishable to either of you until there’s a gasp at the doorway which shocks you both to stillness.
“Mum!” Eggsy shouts, “get out!”
She quickly retreats and slams the door shut before you hear her practically running away down the landing towards the stairs. You look up at Eggsy who slowly turns to face you, then his lips land on yours within seconds as his hips start up again; his stiff member filling you with ease as your legs wrap around his backside.
“You know I love you,” he breathes heavily between intermittent pants.
“I know,” you nod, “I love you too.”
“Good,” he smiles, then leans his head down and bites onto your breast so he can flick his tongue over your nipple.
You cry out with pleasure at his sudden move and your hands weave their way through his hair to keep him where he is as your muscles begin to tense inside, ready for the much needed release. Before you can get to yours though, Eggsy lets out a hot, stuttered breath over your chest and his entire body tenses as he finally lets go with the longest groan you’d ever heard him make. He soldiers on after his climax and with some encouragement from his thumb rubbing over your sweet spot, you soon clench around him and release to the sound of whispered pants of his name which are emanating from your throat without you even realising. You blink away the stars in your eyes and finally look at his satisfied face hovering above you, then he flops down next to you and takes your hand in his as you both catch your breath.
“You do realise I will never be able to look your mum in the eye again, right?” you chuckle after a few moments of silence.
“Same,” he grimaces playfully, “I think we’ll just hide up here the rest of the night.”
could you make it as smutty as possible with some fluff, there visiting his parents back home and they can’t keep their hands off each other and his parents notice but don’t say anything until his mum walks in on them on the sofa in a very heated and handsy make out they apologise and try forget what happened but then she walks in on them the next evening in his room having sex there embarrassed again but still continue after she has left as they just can’t get enough of each other – Taron or Eggsy – @sarahegerton96

Hello. I'm new to tumblr and i love your daminette fics. J don't know if you still accept requests, but, if you do, is it possible to write a story about what happens after damien exposes lila? One without adrien and nino salt. Thank you
Here you go! Sorry for the long wait, I hope you like it! Let me know what you think!
---------------
Damian really hated this Lila girl. He had yet to actually meet the girl in person, but he already hated her from what Marinette, Adrien, and Nino had told him. This liar had successfully turned the whole class against the trio. At first she had only targeted Marinette, but when it became obvious to Lila that Nino knew the truth, she targeted him too. After seeing this, Adrien knew that Lila was never going to get better, and he tried to reveal her to the class. But Lila avoided each attempt and had now started targeting Adrien too. Now all three of them were class pariahs and were on their own.
------------------
The three friends had met Damian when the Wayne family came to Paris for a few days. They had surprisingly become fast friends. Now they video chat almost every night. So Damian had heard everything about the liar, including her most recent lies about himself. The liar had been saying that she had been dating Damian Wayne until he cheated on her. Damian was going to end the liar problem for his friends right now. No one messes with his friends. 
------------------
The next day, Damian was landing in Paris. Marinette, Adrien, and Nino would be in school. Damian knew from them that the liar had just returned from her ‘diplomatic trip to Achu’ and would be at the school that day. Damian made his way to the school, ready to destroy this liar. Damian entered the school and made his way through the school, looking for his friends’ classroom. Soon he found the classroom he was looking for, spotting his friends at the back of the class through the window. He threw open the door and strode inside with an air of superiority. Marinette, Adrien, and Nino stared at Damian in shock, not aware he was coming. Damian stood in front of the class, glaring at them before unleashing chaos.
-------------------
Damian heard the pathetic excuse from a teacher try to get his attention from behind him, but he just glared at her coldly. He then turned back to the class and said in a cold voice, “Which one of you is Lila Rossi?” Lila was hesitant to respond, not sure what this person wanted with her, but she knew that he was going to figure out who she was soon, so she timidly raised her hand. “I am Lila Rossi.” Damian turned the full force of his glare on her. “So you are the liar who has been going on and on about me cheating on you?” Lila paled as she recognized who was standing in front of her. What is Damian Wayne doing here? She had never expected to be face to face with her, let alone that he would hear the stories she had been saying about him! As she stuttered, trying to come up with a cover, Alya stood up. “Who are you to call her a liar?” Damian rolled his eyes and glared at Alya, making her back down slightly. “I am Damian Wayne. I came to Paris for business and imagine my surprise when the big gossip in the city is that a girl here was dating me up until recently when I cheated on her. Problem is I have never met this girl in my life.” Damian pauses and turns back to Lila again. “I want to make this abundantly clear, you will stop lying about me immediately. You will also be hearing from my lawyers regarding a defamation lawsuit. I don’t much appreciate being made out to be a cheater.” Damian turned to leave the classroom, everyone staring in shock. Before he left, he turned back to face the class. “And if I were all of you, I would look into the other stories she has told you. If she lied about me, she could have lied about anyone.” With that, Damian left, attaching a tiny remote camera to the wall so he could watch the chaos.
---------------
Damian turned on the camera signal on his phone and watched as the class just stared at the door. But eventually, the class got their facilities back and turned to Lila. “Lila, what did he mean? Did you actually lie.” Lila, still in shock from being called out by Damian Wayne himself, had difficulty coming up with a story to tell the class. Marinette and her friends took the opportunity. Nino called out from the back of the room, “Of course she is lying. Damian Wayne himself just told you she was. Take his advice, look for proof of any of her other stories. We have been telling you that she was lying for a while now.” Alya seemed hesitant, but slowly pulled out her phone, looking for any proof that Lila wasn’t a liar. But she couldn’t find anything. The class soon exploded at the liar, furious at the deception. Marinette and the rest of the trio watch in amusement. Damian was also watching, smirking at his phone screen at the live stream. 
--------------
After this revelation, Mrs. Bustier realized that Lila may have lied about where she was every time she missed class. So she took Lila to Mr. Damocles and insisted on meeting with Mrs. Rossi. When Mrs. Rossi arrived, she was horrified to hear about all the stories her daughter had been telling. Mrs. Rossi was even more horrified to hear about Damian Wayne’s lawsuit against her daughter. At the end of the meeting it was decided that Lila would be in in school suspension for the next several weeks, and would then be in after school detention for the rest of the school year. She would also have to repeat the school year due to all of the school time she missed. It was also decided that all the school work that her classmates did for her due to her various disabilities would not be counted and she would have to redo the assignments herself. Mrs. Rossi also decided that Lila would apologize to her class and admit to everything. 
---------------
Lila was furious. How had things gone so wrong? She had been on top of the world just a few days ago. After Damian had appeared, everything changed. She was forced to admit everything to the class and apologize. Because of that, she has become the class pariah, no one would even look at her. Word had spread through out the school, so everyone in the whole school was ignoring her. She was also sent to in school suspension. She was in a separate room from everyone else. She didn’t see anyone all day and so she couldn’t try to recover her influence. She tried to work her new teacher, but the ISS teacher was informed of her lying and wasn’t buying anything. She watched as Marinette reclaimed the class and became popular once again. Marinette was still wary around the class, but was happy they knew the truth now. Lila was furious that the little goody-two-shoes had recovered her reputation.
-----------------
 And now Lila had to deal with this lawsuit. Mrs. Rossi decided that her daughter would be on her own for this. Lila would have to deal with everything, and while Mrs. Rossi is technically paying for her daughter’s lawyer, Mrs. Rossi made it abundantly clear that she expected Lila to pay her back every penny. Lila was forced to get a part time job at a store run by a family friend, and Mrs. Rossi made a point to tell the manager of the store that Lila was a liar and to not believe anything she said without proof. The lawsuit wasn’t going well for Lila either, since she had repeated the lie publicly and often, several people were able to confirm that Lila had indeed been saying these things. It was very likely the lawsuit would not end in her favor. Lila was well and truly miserable now, and it was looking like she would be miserable for a long, long time.

Timeless
Chapter 1
Hi! So this is the first chapter of my Loki x reader fic based off the show! Its really long because its basically the entirety of the first episode. The reader will have Female pronouns in this story solely based on the fact that this will be very self indulgent and I identify as Female. So im sorry to those who do not identify as such. Also this has no editing or proof reading.. so there will probably be a lot of mistakes.
This wasn’t supposed to happen. He wasn’t supposed to be here. Loki was a God how could these people think that they could ever capture him! Strip him of his clothes and make him wait to stand trial? On top of all that they made him question wether or not he was a Robot.  Unbelievable!
 Now here he was with a man in front of him when a guard near by told them to take a ticket. “ Take a ticket.” the guard told them“ What is this a deli?” the man questioned the guard  “ No!” the man said rudely and walked off. “ Take your ticket” the guard said towards Loki as he stepped up. Loki looked at the guard with an are you serious look “ there’s only two of us in here.” Loki said looking around the room. The guard once more told him to take a ticket and Loki huffed grabbing a ticket and shoving it in the Guards face before walking away and shoving it in his pocket. 
“ This is an mistake I shouldn’t be here!” Loki shouted at the guard. Loki turned around when a strange voice sounded around the room “ Hi there! You’re probably saying ,this is a mistake I shouldn’t be here, “ . Loki then saw a television with a clock on it explaining the “ Time Keepers” and how they protect the flow of time and everyone and everything. Apparently he now has to stand trial for his “ crimes”. Loki chuckled before disbelievingly saying “ Time Keepers?” “ The sacred timeline?” he swung his arms out before yelling “ who would actually believe this? “ 
A guard once again asked for a ticket. Loki turned around to see a guard talking to the other man . The man started yelling “ That man didn’t give me a ticket! I tried to ask for one!” The guard rasied his voice “ ticket sir!” “ I tried to asked that guy for a ticket.” Loki then saw the guard pull out a baton and disintegrate the man out of existence. Loki , shocked, searched for his ticket pulled it out and heled it in the air.
Loki was escorted to a court room where women sat up front. “ Variant L1130, aka Loki Laufeyson. Is charged with sequence violation 72089. “ The women sat the paper down as Loki stood on the podium. “ How do you plead ?” she asked him. Loki looked up laughing “ Madam , a God doesn’t plead. “ “ Look this has been a very enjoyable pantomime , but i’d like to go home now.” “ Are you guilty of not guilty,sir?” the women asked . Loki laughed again “ Guilty of being the God of mischief , yes.” “Guilty of finding this all incredably tedious, yes “ “ Guilty of a crime against the sacred timeline? Absolutly not , you have the wrong person.” 
They continued on arguing until the women once again asked him how he pleads. Loki said guilty and then streched his arms out trying to summon his powers. He tried a few times , but each time he failed. The women told him that magic was no good in the TVA. She sentenced him to be reset . Loki freaked out asking what reset meant before being grabbed by the guards. “ You ridiculous beauracrates will not dictate on how my story ends!” Loki screamed. The women said it was never his story . “ You have no idea what I’m capable of!” Loki yelled out in frustration. A man wearing a suite then stood up “ I think I do.” “ I have an idea of what he’s capable of” he said pointing at Loki. He then walked up and stood in front of the women. 
The two talked in whispers before the man turned to Loki. Loki breathed heavy before starring the man down “ and who are you?” the man smirked before leading Loki towards his office. “ I’m gonna burn this place to the ground “ Loki said walking next to the man. “ I’ll show you where my desk is you can start there.” Loki looked out of the hall to see a grand city. Filled with lights , floating buildings, flying cars, the giant statues of the Time Keepers. “ Home sweet home” Loki looked to the man “ I thought there was no magic here.” the man shook his head “ there isn’t.” 
Loki found himself in an elevator with the man. Said man stuck his hand out for Loki to shake before telling his name “ I’m agent Mobius by the way.” Loki looked down at Mobiuses hand before looking back up at him. “ Are you taking me somewhere to kills me?” Loki asked. “ No” Mobius answerd “ thats where you just were. I’m taking you some place to talk.” “ I don’t like to talk” Loki said shaking his head. “ but you like to lie “ Mobius told him “ which you just did. Cause we both know you love to talk.” Loki looked at mobius with a scowl on his face. “ How Long have you been here? “ Loki asked him. “ I don’t know its hard to say time passes diffrently at the TVA.” Mobius replied. 
They stepped out the elevator ,Loki asking Mobius about the three space lizards and how its absurd how they decide the lives of millions. They then step into a big spacious room with a table and two chair in the middle. Loki made the comment on how it really feels like Mobius is going to kill him. Mobius fiddled with a device that sat on the table. Loki tried to attack Mobius, but he didn’t get far when mobius pulled something out and sent him back to where he was standing. Loki looked annoyed before he finally took a seat. 
Loki sat crossing his arms. “ If looks could kill.” Mobius said smartly. They carried on their chat as Mobius pulled a drink out explaing he specializes in dangerous variants. Mobius then started to ask Loki a seires of questions. Loki explained how he wanted to be King of Midgard and the nine realms. How he would have made it easy. “ People like easy.” Mobius said. Loki looked down at the table “ The first depressing lie ever uttered was the song of freedom.” he said before looking back up at Mobius. Mobius continued to write Loki’s answers down as they continued on their chat. Mobius then clicked on the red device in front of them and then it played something catching Loki’s attention.
It started to play his life. It showed him killing Coulson, Mobius asking if he enjoys killing people whilst the video showed Loki destroying NewYork. He then showed Loki in Germany taking out the eyes of a man. “ Look at that smile.You are enjoying that. “ Mobius stated. “ Did you enjoy hurting them?” Loki looked at the floor shaking his head. “ I don’t have to play this game.” Loki told Mobius. “ I’m a God.” Mobius looked at him before replying “ Of what? In mischief right? “ “ yeah, I don’t see anything mischievous about this.” He paused the video before talking about Loki’s escapes. Loki called himself a mischievous scamp and then Mobius continued the video . It was Loki on a Plane . He was D.B Cooper. Apparently he had lost a bet to Thor. Mobius brought the conversation back to Lokis escapes. Loki tried to get up but was brought back to his chair.
Loki was frustrated beyond belief. Mobius showed him another clip agreeing with what his past self had said . Mobius asked if he was finished before showing him what would have happend if he hadn’t taken the Teseract. It showed Loki in chains walking towards his mother. Mobius mouthing “ thats you” towards Loki. Loki looked up starring at his Mother. “ Have I made you proud?” “ Please don’t make this worse.” Loki stood crossing his arms “ What is this? It’s nonsense.” He asked Mobius. “ More tricks this never even happend.” He sais gesturing the the video. “ Not to you, not yet “ Mobius said. The video continued on showing what would have been had Loki stayed within his timeline. He watched as his mother died. How he lead the dark elves to her. How HE killed her. 
“Do you enjoy killing!?” Mobius asked Loki. “ I’ll kill you!” Loki stated. “ What like how you killed your Mother.” Mobius told him. Loki then the the chair at him. Mobius moving out of the way and the chair going through the picture of his dead Mom. “ You weren’t born to be King Loki. You were born to cause Pain and suffering and Death. That’s how it is that’s how it was and that’s how it will be.” Mobius told him. Loki sat on the ground in a mix of grief and anger. He watched the Avengers fighting each other. All of them on the screen. Including you. Oh how he wished to see you right now . Taking him away from this terrible place. You were next to Steve and Natasha, eyes glowing yellow while power surges through your hands. You looked so powerful in that moment. A moment he’d never be able to truly witness. He just couldn’t wrap his head around the idea of you joining the avengers though.
He shook his head and looked up at Mobius sticking his hand out for him. He stood and then the door opened. In came the women guard “ what are you doing?” she asked Mobius. “ My job” Mobius said as if it was obvious. “ Is it yours to interupt?” he asked her. She looked at him before she spoke up “ We have a situation.” she told him. Mobius and the women left, leaving Loki to his own devises. Outside the room Mobius and the women were in a heated argument. “ We just lost another unit!” the women yelled at him. Mobius sighed before walking back in the room. “ Okay Loki I think we can finish up tomorrow and just-” Mobius stopped mid sentence when he noticed Loki was no where to be found. 
Outside Loki wandered around until he ended up in an office like room. TVA workers going about . “ Hey!” Loki shouted in a whispered tone towards the man he saw at the front desk. “ Hey I know you!” the man shouted. Loki grabbed him, pulling him down to keep him quite. “ What’s your name?” Loki asked, the man looked confused before replying “ Casey” he told him. “ Get me the Tesseract or i’ll gut you like a fish!” Loki threated him.” What’s a fish?” Casey loudly asked. Loki sushed him before asking “ how do you not know what a fish is?” “ i’ve lived my entire life behind a desk” casey said. 
After Casey agreed to comply he got up and pulled open a drawer. He pulled out the Teseract and handed it off to Loki. Finally, Loki thought, I have it. he helled it in his hands before glancing down. He saw infinity stones. A lot of them, just sitting there useless. “ What? Infinity stones? “ Loki asked him self, gently touching them as if they weren’t real. He stumbeld over his words “ how do you have these ?” he asked. “ Oh” Casey said “ We actually got a lot of those. Some of the guys use them as paper weights.” he said smiling to himself. Loki stood up and then walked in front of the big television. The weight of everything catching up to him. “ Is this the greatest power in the universe?” Loki questioned. 
The women guard came charging towards Loki with her weapon, but Loki teleported before she could hit him. He went back to the room Mobius had taken him to earlier. Out of breath, Loki got up looking at the Avengers still on the video along with you. He sat in the chair before rewinding the video and playing it again. He saw his life. What happened and what would have happened. 
He saw his Mother, dead on the floor. He saw his Father saying he loved them both. He saw you, your hands intertwined. Bodies pressed together and sweet kisses. He saw a ring on your finger and your smiling face looking up at him. He saw a version of himself being loved by you and living a life together. A life he’d never get to live now. He was crying , his tears streaming down his face. His breathe was shaky as he continued the video. He saw his brother, the two of them, fighting side by side. The video then showed him in front of Thanos. Thanos grabbed him by the neck, lifting him up. Loki stood up walking closer to the screen. He was struggling to breath as Thanos squeezed the life out of him. He could hear your cries of anguish as you pleaded for Thanos to let him go. You ran and banged on Thano’s back to stop him, but it was to late . A crack sound could be heard and he was dead. His body dropping to the floor. You came running up to him , cradling his limp body. Thanos looked down at you in disgust before stabbing you. Your body laying lifelessly next to his. As dead to the universe has he was.
Lokis face was one of fear, shock, and sadness. Seeing his death was teirrble enough, but to see you die was something else entirely. It broke his heart. The last thing he saw was Thor holding on to both your bodies and then the screen said end of file. Loki laughed at himself and then the women stepped in. “ what’s so funny?” she asked. Loki shook his head “ Glorious Purpose “ he turned around starring at her and then marched towards her. He threw a punch but she retaliated. The two fought but Loki brought her down attaching the collor to her neck. He fiddle with the remote causing her to go this way and that before she left the room completly. 
Mobius ran into you in the hall way telling you the Variant “ Loki” as he was called had escaped an he needed your help to find him. “ Mobius how many times do I have to tell you to keep watch of variants?” you huffed. “ I mean isn’t that your job?” He looked at you before pleading “ Please just help me Red, I’ll make it up to you.” “ fine” you pointed your finger at him “ but you owe me” the two of you set a brisk pace  and made it to what you usually call the showing room. It usually just shows the lives of people and variants, but TVA workers were not allowed to look at their own files. You and Mobius both pulled out your weapons entering the room. “ Loki” Mobius said, causiously walking towards him. You trailed behind walking behind Mobius . You moved to stand next to him as you got closer to the variant. He was sitting with his hands over his face.” No where left to run.” you said. Loki looked up hearing your familiar voice. He looked at you in disbelief.  
You weren’t real. How could you possably be here? He saw you die along with him! He saw you being carried away in shackles back on Midgard before he stole the Tesseract and ran off. There was no way that this could be you. He looked away from you and stared back at Mobius “ I can’t go back can I? “ it was more of a statement then a question though. You looked at him feeling some sort of sense of familiarity but sook it off as nerves. “ back to my timeline” Loki continued. Nither you nor Mobius said anything as Loki continued. “ I don’t enjoy hurting people.” he looked back at you “ I don’t enjoy it.” He looked in your eyes “ I do it because I have to. Because I had to.” Mobius shook his head and you spoke up. ‘Explain that to me.” Loki still couldn’t believe you were here right in front of him, but he pushed on anyway “ because it’s part of the illusion. “ “ It’s the cruel elabrate trick, conjured by the weak to inspire fear.” Mobius spoke this time “ a desprate play for control.” “ you do know yourself.” Loki sighed again “ a villain” he stated. “ That’s not how I see it” you said. Loki once again looked up at you . That since of familiarity coming back to you. “ 
Loki grabbed the Tesseract and spoke“ The TVA is formidable” Mobius shook his head in agreement “ that’s been my experince.” Mobius spoke to him,offering him a deal. You grabbed a hold of Mobius arm before yelling at him “you’re not doing what i think you’re doing are you?” Mobius shrugged your arm off before saying yes and then looked back at Loki. Loki got up walking towards the both of you. “ Fugitive Variant has been killing our minutemen” Mobius told him. “ and you need the God of mischief to help you stop him.” Loki said.” That’s right “ “ why me?” Loki asked .You butted in , standing infront of Mobius , looking up at Loki “ the variant we’re hunting is you.” “I beg your Pardon?” Loki asked. You chuckled,not suprised by his reaction. “ I’m sorry , but I think i’m in even more shock as to why you’re even here.” he gestured towards the room and then pointed at you stepping closer. You were face to face , noses almost touching. “ why’re you working for these people?” he furrowed his brows at you “ what are you doing here y/n?” You looked just as confused as he was and uncrossed your arms. “ I’m sorry, but who’s y/n ?”

I Promise (Part 1/2)
Pairing: Chris Beck x Reader Word Count: 4106 Warnings: fluff, smut, pregnancy
Summary: Before heading to Mars Chris Beck reconnects with his best friend, unaware of the outcome of their night together. With the burden of his mission will Chris make a promise he can’t keep?
A/N: My first Chris Beck fic! Rather than a really long one shot I’m splitting it into two parts. A big thank you to my love Allie @all1e23​​​ for beta reading 🍕❤️ gif source (x)
Tumblr media
“Hey.”
The soft resonance of Chris’ voice brings tears to your eyes, ones you couldn’t help from slipping out. They fall down the curve of your cheeks past the uneasy smile you wore.
“I kept my promise,” he said. Chris flashed the top row of his bright white teeth, his mouth curving into a boyish smile that reached his eyes, the fine lines crinkling around them. He tilted his head as he looked at you through the screen, a comforting gaze that made you feel as if he was there with you. 
The quality of the video chat is near perfect making you almost forget Chris was millions of miles away. He looked the same, not that you expected him to look different. It had only been a few months since you last saw each other. 
His hair looks darker than usual but you suppose it’s the low lighting of the small room he’s in. He’s bundled up in a thick NASA sweatshirt and you can see several more layers he has on beneath the collar. Chris looks tired but that’s expected, what he’s doing right now is not a walk in the park. You know it’s the reason why it’s taken so long for him to contact you but you wish he did it sooner. 
More tears flood your eyes, burning their way out as you wished he never left at all. You can barely hear Chris over the sound of your own sobs.
“Please don’t cry,” he pleaded.
You lifted your head towards the screen and seeing the concern on his face only made you miss him more, wishing he was there to console you in person.
Your hand swept away tears from your cheek as your voice cracked saying his name. “Chris…” 
Tumblr media
The streets are simmering with the heat of a summer that couldn’t wait to officially start. Calendars be damned, it was hot. You indulged in a cool shower when you got home from work but time didn’t allow for a languid evening of staying in your towel as you applied serums and moisturizers, lotions and creams and every other post-shower pampering you normally do. Tonight was dinner with a friend and you needed to get ready.
Chatter filled the air of the patio, a small secluded outdoor space at the back of an Italian restaurant on the Upper East Side. It had an Old World Tuscan feel, from the stucco walls that looked purposely imperfect. Green patina shutters hung beside a wrought iron lantern that glowed in the early evening. Lush greens and bright flowers sat atop the half wall that surrounded the dining area making you forget you were in the city.
Chris looked the same, not that you expected him to be different. It had only been about two years since you’ve seen each other, right before he began training for his mission and now you can’t believe it was about to happen. Never would you have expected that the little boy down the block who became your best friend would actually be going to Mars.
For most of your lives you were in the same school, starting in Mrs. Kramer’s kindergarten class where you stuck together; two kids that were nervous about making friends and finding comfort in each other. As the years went on you weren’t always in the same classes but your friendship continued to grow. Chris was picked on for having a girl as a best friend and the girls always teased that he was your “boyfriend.” It never felt that way with Chris. He was your friend first and you never saw him as anything more. 
By the time you were in middle school Chris was already taking advanced classes in math and science and the only class you had together was art which he was famously terrible at. It was there you asked him a huge favor, whispering to him at the sink as you rinsed off your paint brushes. “Could you kiss me?” Chris turned as red as a boiling lobster, immediately sweating as if he was being roasted alive himself. It was later that day walking home from school that you clarified what you meant.
There was a boy, Justin Kaufman, who was the coolest kid in your grade. You had a crush on him like everyone else and you were shocked when he asked if you would go with him to the dance on Friday. You were worried he might try to kiss you and being inexperienced made you nervous. Justin was really popular and if you were a bad kisser then the whole school would know it. Chris was your friend, someone you trusted, someone you could practice with just to make sure you didn’t make a fool of yourself. 
You had no frame of reference for kissing back then apart from one sided smooches to pictures of movie stars that you had a crush on. But feeling Chris’ lips press back against yours was… nice. The best part about it was that things didn’t feel awkward after. Chris was still your best friend and nothing changed. 
A server hands you a menu and you thank him, scanning through it to see what you might be interested in. Chris looks up at the same time you do, wondering if you wanted an appetizer.  You nodded letting him choose, considering the limited food options he’ll have for over the next year. 
“Can you drink?”
Chris’ nose crinkled as he smiled. “In space? No. Tonight? Yes,” he chuckled softly. 
Two glasses of red wine were set on the table as you indulged in delicious food, catching up as much as you could before Chris’ mission. 
“So you’d love what happened today,” you began, leaning closer, “We filmed a restoration video and yours truly was in it.”
Chris’ eyes lit up as he gasped. “I love those! You have to send it to me. Hopefully I can see it before I go. What was it?”
“A sixteenth century European oil painting.” You went into detail and Chris loved listening to your knowledge of art history. It was no wonder that was your major, taking your studies further to work as a conservator at the Met.
Chris swallowed his food quickly to speak. “You were always good at that– art, attention to detail. Remember when we had to sculpt our own faces?” he chuckled.
There was a short burst of laughter as you remembered that day from so long ago. “Yes! Thankfully the real you doesn’t look anything like that abomination you made.” 
Chris drops his head down to hide a bashful smile that mixed in with laughter. He’s enjoying himself, catching up with you, eating. This was so good. He couldn’t help but scoop up another forkful of pasta, not expecting you to ask him a question. “So, how are you feeling?”
He paused to reflect and wiped a bit of sauce from the corner of his mouth. “I’m nervous… excited.” Taking a sip of wine, he sets the glass down carefully on the table. Chris’ face has grown more serious. “My mom’s worried.”
“Of course she is, I don’t blame her. I’m worried. Mars is… well it’s Mars! It’s not around the block.”
He chuckled. “No, it’s definitely not.” 
Chris is heading home to Connecticut tomorrow to spend the next few days with his parents. Chloe, his younger sister is coming in as well so they can all spend some time together before he has to fly down to Florida.
“Then it’s go for launch!” he said with a beaming smile, though Chris had to correct himself for the sake of accuracy. Once he’s down there the crew has to quarantine for at least ten days and go through a bunch of pre-flight checkups and procedures first. “Are you gonna watch?”
The incredulous look you gave him answered his question. “Did you really have to ask? Of course I’m going to watch the launch.” 
His eyes twinkled as he smiled back at you. “Oh and don’t worry I put you on my contact list so you can send me emails. Not sure how quickly I'll get them since CAPCOM directs it back to us. And as long as we have the right satellite coverage we can even do video calls.”
“Like Facetime?”
“In theory yeah, more like space Skype,” he laughed. “It’ll be nice to stay in touch.”
Your smile was bright in the dimness of the evening. You can’t imagine not staying in touch with Chris. The longest you had ever gone was during his Air Force training. He checked in with his parents when he first arrived and from then on it was sporadic. You were able to send him letters though and tried to write him every week though your own schooling and an apprenticeship at the Louvre had taken up a lot of time but that was how your relationship was. 
No matter where you were in life, across the world or hovering above it in the International Space Station, you always kept in touch. It’ll be harder now considering he’s going farther than ever before but you’ll make it work. 
Chris would be back by next November and his mom was already planning a big party for his return, one he’s certain you’ll be invited to. Though you haven’t seen his parents in a while you still kept in touch with them from time to time seeing as they were still friends with your own parents.
“It’s crazy to think you’re about to go to Mars.” 
Chris swipes a palm down his mouth, leaning his elbows against the table as he muses, “I know. Feels like I got the call yesterday.”
It was a night similar to this one, where Chris was in New York celebrating with you and other friends on his selection to be part of the Ares III mission. He had been working at NASA for a few years, doing biomedical research in their center in Virginia and now he was about a month out from spending two years training for his long term mission to Mars. 
He stayed at your apartment that night, continuing the celebration in your own private way. You had come a long way from learning to kiss with Chris. It wasn’t a big deal, neither was it the first time you had sex with each other. It was a special dynamic that worked for the two of you, one you don’t think you could have pulled off with anyone else. With Chris you had trust that was built up over the years. He was safe, he was your friend and this was nothing more than just sex. 
It didn’t happen too often, a couple of times here and there. You both dated a few people over the years and even though you were single at the moment you thought about the promise you made to each other as teens. “If we’re not married to other people by the time we’re thirty let’s promise we’ll marry each other.” Such a silly promise but thirty seemed so far away at the time. 
Chris couldn’t make it to celebrate for your thirtieth birthday but you did get a card from him where he joked that the wedding was off. You were in a long term relationship, one that Chris thought would lead to marriage but you ended things a year later. It wasn’t there; that natural spark that made your heart skip a beat every time they smiled brighter than the sun, or when their eyes sparkled like stars in the night every time they looked at you. 
You walked through the streets with Chris after dinner, casually strolling back towards your apartment and stretching out the inevitable goodbye that you didn’t want to say. It was so good to be with him in person again, not realizing how badly you missed it until the hours started ticking closer towards him leaving. By the time you get to your apartment Chris decided to come up stairs, wanting to spend as much of his time with you as he could. 
Chris sits comfortably on your couch, cozied up beside a large pillow. He places his wine glass down on your coffee table, needing to gesticulate with both hands as he starts getting into talking about his research. He’s been published before in numerous academic journals and now he’s going on about how excited he is for his latest topic, musculoskeletal alterations and the effects of deep space travel. 
He’s cute when he really gets into it, crinkles pulling around the corner of his eyes as his whole face lights up. You let out a shaky breath, smiling even wider yourself as you watched the passion he had for science and learning, one that matched the level you had for art and preserving their history. 
Chris apologized for rambling on, taking a sip of wine to clear the dryness from his throat. 
“So, give me the lowdown… can you jerk off in space?” 
He covered his mouth to prevent the wine he was choking on from spitting out. You couldn’t help the sly smile on your face that cracked wider the redder he became. 
“Well?”
Chris cleared his throat again. Pinching the bridge of his nose he looked down into his glass, chuckling a bit as he said, “The official stance from NASA is no comment so I’m going to stick with that.” 
“That’s not an answer!” You could barely hold a faux sneer before you broke into a smile. Teasing Chris was all in good fun, something that went both ways from the time you were young. 
You adjusted the way your legs were folded underneath you, brushing your knee against his leg. Chris lifted his arm up, a silent invitation for you to get closer and so you did, resting your head against him as his arm came around you.
Things had quieted down and you listened to the steady beat of his heart. This would be the last time you would see Chris for a long time. Your arm reached around to hold him for as long as you could.
“I’m going to miss you,” you whispered against him. 
Chris’ chest sunk as he exhaled a deep sigh. “I’m going to miss you too.” His arm squeezed a little tighter around you as he pressed his lips gently against your forehead. “Just look to the stars and I’ll be there.” 
His words brought a comforting smile to your face, one you shared with him as you tilted your head to look up at him. “Do you want to stay?”
The corner of his mouth tugs a little as Chris thinks about it. There’s nothing he really misses at his hotel more than he does you. The only reason he came to New York was to see you first before going home. 
“Yeah, I’d love to stay.”
You shifted yourself on top to straddle Chris, carding your fingers through his hair and taking in the gaze of his eyes that became pools of deep blue. You closed the distance between your lips, feeling his hands come around your back. Soft moans bubbled in your throat and soon you found yourself being carried to the bedroom. 
Clothes were discarded, lips were on skin that burned hotter than the stars. You writhe against him, thighs quivering around his head, reaching out to grip him by the hair, holding Chris in place as he coaxed out your release. His lips taste like you and he licks them again, savoring your sweetness as he crawls up your body. 
He tears open the condom, gathering your wetness on him as he slowly pushed in. A sinful moan falls from your lips as you feel the stretch of him inside you, inch by inch until he was fully seated. An experimental roll of his hips sets the pace for pleasure. 
Your hands graze up the curve of his arms, reaching his back and digging in half moon shapes into his skin with your nails as he thrusts into you.
“Ahh fuck, you feel so fucking good,” he panted, moaning as his hips snapped forward. His name fell from your lips, a sweet sound that he couldn’t deny he loved hearing. 
He changed his angle, hitting you with deeper, longer strokes. His mouth found your nipple, sucking at your peak as his hips gained speed; groaning and squeezing his eyes tightly as he fucked you, ready to explode.
“Shit!” Chris hissed, backing off quickly. You’re confused and concerned, sitting up and turning the light on beside your bed to see what was wrong. “The condom broke,” he said, still catching his breath.
Chris got up to discard it in the bathroom as you sat on the bed, crossing an arm over your chest, waiting nervously. When Chris walked back in the room he apologized for that, the stiffness of his length giving you relief that he hadn’t finished so you continued. Using your hands on him as he let out soft moans, distractedly opening another condom that you rolled down on him. You straddled him, leaning forward to capture his lips for a sweet kiss first before you lined yourself up and sank down on him. 
Soon enough you were riding waves of bliss together, gripping Chris as you clenched around him, burning white hot behind your eyes. He’s right behind you, on the edge of pleasure, exploding inside you like a supernova.
Dropping your head onto his chest, it felt like your body was made of overcooked noodles that splayed loosely against him as you were desperate to catch your breath, coming down from the heights you soared to. Chris’ arms hold you close against him, his lips languidly peppering kisses to your sheen covered skin. 
When his heartbeat returned to a steady pace Chris went to the bathroom to once again discard the condom and you followed behind him to use it. He went to the kitchen to get something to drink, bringing back an ice cold glass of water for you. 
Back in bed you cuddled together, with goosebumps breaking out on your skin as Chris’ fingertips graze gently up and down your arm. Your eyes feel heavy but you don’t want to give in because when you wake up you know you’ll have to say goodbye and that’s not something you want to do. 
“You’ll stay in touch, right?” you murmured against him, as worry took root within your stomach. His quick and emphatic reply should have been enough but you couldn’t help yourself from needing to make sure you would still hear from him during the mission. “And call me? With the space Skype?”
“I promise,” he said, as a smile spread across his face. Chris’ hand stopped moving, settling on your arm and holding you close. 
“Promise me one more thing?” He hummed in response and you continued, “Stay safe up there.”
Chris tilted his head down and feeling him shift you looked up as he said, “I promise.”
In the moonlight his eyes sparkled like clear tropical waters. Slowly, a soft smile spread across your face as you stared at him. “I love you, Chris.” There was no romanticism behind it even after being together, just pure love for your friend. 
Chris exhaled, planting a kiss to your temple. “I love you too, Y/N.” 
Despite wanting to spend your remaining hours together awake you reluctantly fell asleep in his arms, tearfully parting in the morning. Two weeks later you watched as the space shuttle launched, with proud tears filling your eyes as Chris’ picture flashed on your screen along with the rest of the crew. Seeing that made you feel hopeful and overjoyed at the prospect of hearing from him soon.
Tumblr media
“Chris… I’m pregnant.” It was a relief to finally tell him but you didn’t feel any better, uncertainty weighed heavy on your shoulders, crushing the space for your lungs to expand. Chris knows but now what?
He’s silent, his lips parted slightly and you don’t know if there’s a delay in the feed. Maybe you should have emailed it to him. You were going to at first and instead chose to word the importance of needing to speak to him in such a clandestine way that you were contacted by someone from NASA. Upon speaking to them they allowed your email to be dispatched and then you waited. 
Chris’ eyebrows knit together, his shoulders slumping down as he stared at your face through the screen. He didn’t have any doubts, you were always truthful with each other, but he still wondered how.
“We put on a new one, I thought…” 
“I thought we were good too,” you said, letting out a shaky breath. 
You weren’t just pregnant, you were pregnant with his child and based off of some quick calculations in his head you were nearing the end of your first trimester. “H-how are you? I mean, how are you feeling?”
“Physically or…” Nervous laughter bubbles out of your throat. 
This was hard on you, the physical symptoms weren’t fun but you could manage. What was more difficult was not telling anyone. It was early enough in your pregnancy that you could hide it from your family. They still lived in Hartford and hadn’t been down to visit yet but you couldn’t avoid them forever. Work was a different story. You had to let your boss know you would have to modify your duties as working around solvents and other chemicals would not be safe.
There was never a doubt in your mind about keeping the baby. When you were younger you imagined having children by now but it didn’t work out that way. It was something you were okay with, finding life fulfilling in different ways. Work was incredible, you were able to travel and though your relationships hadn’t worked out in the past you didn’t hold on to any resentments. Life was always complete and now things were going to be different. 
You wanted to speak to Chris first before telling your family because you needed to know your expectations. Chris had a life of his own and you didn’t want your choice of having a baby to make him feel obligated in any way. You were an adult; a smart, independent woman and could do this on your own.
“I know this isn’t something we planned but…” Chris exhaled, the corners of his mouth lifting upward, “There’s no one I’d rather do this with than you... I promise.” 
Chris’ eyes glisten with tears as his smile grows and you find yourself brushing away your own from the corner of your eyes. It was comforting to know Chris will be part of the baby’s life. Truthfully it would have been weird if he wasn’t in some capacity considering how close you were. For now you have a lot of time on how you’re going to figure things out for the future.
After the call Chris reflected in silence, staring out of the giant triangular windows of one of the Hermes’ common areas into the vastness of space. He was lost in thought, startled by his name being called by a crewmate. He turned to see Mark whose bright smile fell with concern upon seeing Chris’ face, asking if he was alright.
“I’m gonna be a dad,” Chris responded, his tone mournful in the realization he’ll be missing the birth. He accepted the congratulatory hug Mark gave him, sighing heavily as they separated. “I always thought I’d be there for that.” 
You were due in March and Chris hated the fact that he won't be there for the first nine months of his child’s life, moments and milestones he’ll never get back. He doesn’t like leaving this all on you. He knows you can do it but you shouldn’t have to. 
“I can’t pretend this isn’t hard but don’t think of it in terms of what you’re missing, look at what you’re gaining, what you have to look forward to when you come home.” Chris nodded, his smile trying to come back. “I didn’t even know you had a girlfriend,” Mark teased. 
“I don’t. Y/N, she’s…” Chris’ face lights up as he thinks about you, which does not go unnoticed by Mark. “We’ve been friends since we were kids. She’s always meant so much to me and now…” 
Mark gave Chris an honest smile as he spoke plainly, “And now you’re having a baby.” 
With a proud smile that stretched from ear to ear he affirmed, “Yeah… we are.”

[CN] Victor’s Belonging Date
🍒 Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for a date, 归属之约, which has not been released in English servers! 🍒
This date makes important references to his birthday R&S, so do read that first!
Victor’s 2021 birthday collection:
🐼 r&s l belonging date ♡ l video call l moments and texts l asmr
Tumblr media
[ Released in CN on 8 Jan 2021 ]
Early in the morning on the weekend, I push a cardboard box into Victor’s living room, straightening up and heaving a sigh.
MC: I seem to have prepared too many ribbons... I'll just blow fewer balloons.
Scanning the slightly empty and spacious room, I retrieve decorations from within the cardboard box.
Victor has been busy with business trips recently. Even though I know he’d return on his birthday, I still feel a little uneasy.
In order to avert the abrupt circumstances like last year, I called him in advance to tell him about my “action plan”.
He seems to have gotten used to the festive rituals I insist upon, and has agreed to let me decorate his home. 
Just as I plan to straighten up the cushions on the sofa, the doorbell suddenly rings. 
MC: Who is it?
??: Hello, there’s a package for Mr Victor.
I open the door, and the deliveryman hands over a cardboard box. The logo of Loveland City’s zoo is printed on it. 
MC: This is...
Deliveryman: It was sent late, I’m really sorry about it! There’s been some issues at the transfer point. It should have been sent to you at the start of the year.
A little puzzled, I nod and take the box. This seems to be the first time I’m seeing a package from the zoo.
After signing for the package, I take a picture of the box and send it to Victor. 
Not long after, the phone buzzes.
Victor: Leave the box at the entrance. I’ll handle it after I’m back. 
MC: Sure, but why would the zoo send you a delivery?
Victor: I adopted a panda, so the zoo sends some merchandise every year.
MC: So they actually send such things... zoo merchandise is always in limited supply, and I’ve had to rely on snatching them up whenever I visit.
Perhaps hearing the envy in my tone, Victor chuckles softly. 
Victor: In that case, you can open it up and look if there’s anything you haven’t snatched up.
MC: Can I? I’ll open it on your behalf then!
With a few movements, I open the cardboard box. All sorts of animal plush toys are stored inside, with panda-related items featuring most often.
My line of sight roams the box, and I notice a small album.
There are pictures of one big and one small panda in the album. It records their everyday lives - eating bamboo, climbing trees, rolling around... it’s like a diary.
MC: Victor, there’s an album here too. There are two pandas in it. Which one did you adopt?
Victor: Both of them.
MC: You adopted two?
Victor: Mm, the big one was the one I mentioned to you before. The small one is its child.
Digesting this information, I mutter softly.
MC: I wonder who mentioned not having feelings towards animals...
Victor: Animals no, people yes. Providing help to endangered animals is a very normal thing.
MC: Only providing help?
Victor: ...what else?
MC: Nothing, I just think CEO Victor is really considerate to specially provide help to a father-son duo~
There’s a temporary silence at the other end of the line. I can almost picture Victor’s speechless expression at this moment. 
Victor: Say it, what kind of wicked plan have you come up with this time?
MC: It’s a serious idea! Victor, let’s find a time to visit them? I also wish to meet these two “investees” who have caught your eye.
Victor: You’re truly giving yourself more and more excuses to go out to play.
MC: I can’t?
Victor: ...forget it, we’ll go together if you want to see them.
After ending the call, I retrieve a few panda plush toys from the box, display them on the sofa, then straighten the seats. Finally, I nod in satisfaction. 
As compared to vibrantly coloured decorations, Victor should prefer these adorable plush toys.
-
A few more pages are torn from the calendar, and it’s finally Victor’s birthday.
I checked the information of his flight beforehand. Since it’s not yet time for the plane to land, I prepare to send my report to him first.
The sound of my phone vibrating enters my ears. Seeing the familiar name flashing on the screen, I pick up the call in slight confusion.
MC: Victor? You’ve already reached?
Victor: I just reached. Slightly earlier than expected. 
MC: This means I'm the first person to receive your call~ I’ll just say it first - I’ve already prepared my report, and just have to tap the send button.
Victor: Looks like you have a lot of confidence in this report. Since you're done with work, head out with me in the afternoon.
I freeze for a moment. This year, Victor’s birthday happens to be on a working day. I originally planned to celebrate with him in the evening after work.
I didn’t expect that Victor, who has always been serious about work, would think of having a day of rest. I can’t help but tease him.
MC: Is CEO Victor skipping work? 
Victor: I’m giving you a break too. A certain someone has been rushing work for so many days, and I’m letting you rest for a while.
My heart stirs, and I seem to understand something.
MC: Seems like I'm not the only person looking forward to today?
After a moment of silence on the other end of the line, his voice sounds, carrying with it a smile. 
Victor: I shouldn’t be the only one wanting to meet earlier either. I’ll get my luggage, and will see you in around two hours.
-
At the agreed time, Victor’s car appears punctually at the bottom of the office building.
Tumblr media
I jog and get into the car. He sits on the driver’s seat quietly, his coat half open, revealing a somewhat familiar grey coloured shirt.
There seems to be some tiny creases at his collar that haven’t been ironed smoothly, but the angle at which the collar encases his neck looks very suitable.
Perhaps due to the rays of light falling on his shoulders, or perhaps due to the warm wind blowing in the car, the image before me feels especially warm despite it being winter.
I pull on his arm to take a look, then nod in satisfaction.
MC: Who picked this shirt? It feels as though it makes CEO Victor look especially dashing!
Tumblr media
Victor looks at me, the corners of his lips tugging upwards.
Victor: Blowing your own trumpet.
MC: You wore it yourself. Doesn’t this prove that the choice of gift was a success?
Victor: I wonder who splayed it on the middle of the bed, only missing a note saying “Wear this today”.
MC: So do you like it or not?
Victor: Passable.
I purse my lips, pulling aside my own coat. Deliberately straightening up, I beckon him to look at the matching shirt I’m wearing.
Tumblr media
MC: Cough cough. Is it really just “passable”?
Victor seems to be taken aback for a moment. Then, a smile quickly softens his expression.
Victor: The car isn’t warm yet. Don’t rush to remove your coat.
He reaches out to pull up the zipper. With a pause, he pulls it down slightly, stopping at the chest region.
I follow his gaze and lower my head to take a look. Like this, it just happens to reveal my shirt.
Glancing at our similar colours, I can’t help but laugh secretly in my heart.
Victor: In general, there’s an improvement in taste. A little better than what I expected.
MC: Thank you for your praise, CEO Victor. In that case, should I maintain this standard in the future?
Victor: You can. All right, let’s go. Fasten your safety belt.
MC: Where are we going?
Victor: Didn’t you want to see the pandas? There will be fewer visitors in the zoo on a working day.
While Victor speaks, he starts the car, inputting the destination into the navigation system.
MC: We’re going right now? But today... I thought you’d prefer a quieter birthday.
Victor: By “quieter”, do you mean by displaying a huge bunch of plush toys at home?
MC: They’re so cute, so I accidentally...
I grin while meeting his look of distaste, and something occurs to me.
MC: But if we're going there today, I could get to know your panda friends by matching them against the photographs.
Seeing me take out the photo album from my bag and giving it a flip, Victor raises his brows in slight shock.
Victor: You even brought their photographs around?
MC: I was originally going to make you a mini photo wall, but couldn’t finish it in time. I planned to bring you the photographs in the evening, so I put them in my bag. Come to think of it, I don’t know what names you gave them.
[Note] This is a contradiction?? Because MC clearly mentioned Little Vick in a pretty old Moment post...
Tumblr media
Victor: I didn’t give them names.
MC: Why not?
Victor: I only paid the adoption fees. The rest depends entirely on the zoo staff’s care, so there’s no need to leave them with anything.
MC: But if they don’t have names, how would you recognise them later?
Victor: Do you rely on names to recognise people?
MC: Oo... It’s mainly the face I guess.
Victor: Animals are the same. If you observe their unique traits, you’ll naturally be able to identify them.
The afternoon sunlight is somewhat glaring. I lift my head to avoid the light, and look at Victor in the rearview mirror.
He has a serious expression, but for some reason, I think of a particular fine and sunny weekend we once had, when the light also encased us like this. 
At that time, the person beside me had used an ink-less brush, secretly leaving a mark related to him on me.
The car pauses at the crossing, waiting for the red light. Victor straightens the visor for me, turning his head to meet my gaze. 
Tumblr media
Victor: Why are you staring at me?
MC: I suddenly thought about how someone doesn’t name pandas, yet would write his own name on my face. Doesn’t this mean I’m important to him?
Victor: Good that you know it.
Tumblr media
The red light flickers. Victor averts his gaze, staring at the front. Suddenly, he laughs.
Victor: But from what I see now, I’ve already been influenced by a dummy.
The visor shields me from the glaring sunlight, and also makes my vision clearer.
Whether it’s the matching shirt or the Shiba Inu keychain swinging on the car keys...
These seemingly trivial, ordinary and small details clearly reflect the traces that I’ve left on him.
-
Even though it’s a working day, there are still quite a number of people visiting the pandas in the zoo.
Following the crowd, we take a slow stroll. Many children run past us happily.
Right after walking to the panda area, I see many people congregated at the railings and observing.
Pulling Victor over, rounded panda “dumplings” immediately attract my full attention.
A few young pandas are currently climbing and having fun on wooden poles. Occasionally, they’d bump into each other and roll onto the ground. After exerting energy to flip over, they’d once again climb to the location of their choice.
As if intoxicated and stupefied, I stare at them for a very long time before remembering that the panda baby Victor had adopted could be in their midst. Hurriedly, I take out the photographs from my bag to make comparisons.
However, the pandas before me seem to be carved from the same mold. The colour of their fur are the same, and they are similar in size. There seems to be too much to take in.
I turn my head to look at Victor, who’s next to me. He seems to guess what I’m thinking, and speaks straight away.
Tumblr media
Victor: You haven’t identified it?
MC: It’s a little difficult.
Victor points at a panda which is currently climbing a wooden pole.
Victor: That one.
MC: How can you be so certain?
Victor: It injured its leg a few months ago. During the treatment, there was a need to trim the fur around the injury. Look at its hind leg - some of its fur is newly grown.
Fixing my eyes on it, the back of the panda’s right hind leg has a small tuft of relatively shorter fur. Without a careful look, one would think it’s a normal dip.
Flipping and looking through the photos, I realise that it’s actually the case.
Just as I’m about to awe at how Victor is truly perceptive to the finest detail, I suddenly realise something. 
MC: Wait, you mentioned that it’s been a few months... Have you always been keeping watch on them?
Victor: The staff will regularly provide feedback on their situation.
MC: So your e-mail isn’t filled only with reports from employees.
Victor: My life doesn’t just consist of work.
He doesn’t respond to my teasing gaze, and he continues looking at the pandas playing freely and leisurely in the garden.
Victor: Are you here to look at the pandas or me?
I respond without giving it much thought.
MC: Both!
Victor: ...
Victor shakes his head in resignation, pulling on my hand as we weave through the crowd.
Victor: There are too many people here. Let’s walk forward.
We walk and pause, following the park’s signboards. Gradually, a patch of empty land appears in my view.
A staff member is currently stacking bamboo next to tree trunks and wooden poles, as though waiting for the pandas to feast.
I tug on Victor to stop. After staying in place for a while, I see a big panda pacing over slowly.
It doesn’t seem to care about how many people are watching it. It heads towards the food, picking a comfortable position to sit down.
Flipping to the photograph of the Daddy Panda eating bamboo, I lift it up to compare it with the panda in front of me.
MC: Victor, isn’t this the panda Uncle gave to you? Its posture of leaning against the tree trunk is exactly the same as in the photo!
Victor leans down and looks over, nodding lightly.
Victor: Yes.
MC: Really? We’re so lucky to meet both of them.
Just as Victor is about to say something, the voice of a small boy suddenly drifts towards us.
Small boy: Little... Vick. Its name is Little Vick!
I’m stunned for a moment, turning my head to find the source of the voice. A small boy is being carried in the arms of his parents, reading out the name based on a nearby board.
Information regarding the pandas on duty are written on the board. Its name is found at the very top, and it’s a name I couldn’t be more familiar with.
[Note] The reason why MC finds it familiar is clearer in Chinese. Victor’s name is 李泽言 (Li Ze Yan),  and the panda’s Chinese name is 言言 (Yan Yan)
Because he read the correct words, the small boy is complimented by his parents. He continues reading.
Small boy: Its a boy... and its birthday is 13 January! It’s Little Vick’s birthday today!
Tumblr media
Turning back to look at Victor, he currently has an uncomfortable expression on his face, and he clears his throat softly.
Victor: ...my dad named it.
MC: And it happens to have the same birthday?
Victor: Mm.
I try to suppress my laughter, lowering my voice and calling out to Little Vick a few times while it’s engrossed in bamboo.
MC: Little Vick-- We’re here to see you--
Victor: [sighs] ...
MC: Little Vick-- Wishing you a happy birthday--
Victor: Childish.
Victor pretends to have a stern look his poker face, but I can still see the gradually reddening tips of his ears.
I laugh while standing in front of him, straightening my back under his reluctant gaze.
MC: On behalf of myself and Little Vick, we also wish Mr Victor a happy birthday. Don’t feel embarrassed. Your father used your name to name your favourite thing. It’s called “loving the house and its crows”. 
[Note] MC uses an idiom, 爱屋及乌 ( “ai wu ji wu”), which literally translates to “love the house and the crows”. This conveys the depth of someone’s love to the point where you like everything related to that person.
Victor: Do you apply the same principle when you enthusiastically name all sorts of objects?
MC: I don’t just name everything. After all, I also “love the house and its crows”. For instance, I used to think that all pandas were very adorable... But right now, I think Little Vick is the cutest.
Only after saying all this in one breath do I feel slightly embarrassed. I hurriedly turn around, taking out my phone to take pictures of Little Vick, wanting to hide the heat on my face. 
While snapping photos, I watch for Victor’s reaction. But even after a long time, there isn’t a sound from behind me, and I can’t help but turn around.
“Kacha.”
The golden, dazzling sunlight spreads from behind him, glinting brightly around his raised phone.
Before I can prepare my expression, I see Victor’s phone camera facing me.
He retracts his phone, smiling as he looks at the screen.
MC: [blushing] You... you snuck a photo of me!
Seeing that I’m reaching out to snatch his phone, Victor grabs my wrist, quickly keeping his phone in his pocket.
Tumblr media
Victor: This is just a response to your words earlier.
MC: What does that mean?
Victor smiles, his deep eyes filled with my profile.
Tumblr media
Victor: It means that there are many dummies in the world... But I only like the one in front of me.
-
Returning home from the zoo, VIctor’s sudden words repeatedly circle my mind.
In order for him not to realise my state of mind, I take out the ingredients I had prepared in advance the moment I reach home, preparing to burrow into the kitchen to cook.
Victor naturally walks to my side, wanting to take the bags in my hand. I frantically press down on his hand.
MC: Hold on, don’t help. I’ll do it myself!
Tumblr media
Victor: There are so many things and you want to do it yourself?
MC: Don’t worry, I’ve practiced at home and can guarantee that I have a knowledge of the fundamentals, and won’t blow up your kitchen. Also, you’re the elderly person whose birthday is being celebrated. So you shouldn’t work. Oh yes, aside from this shirt, I’ve also hidden a few presents at home. Want to look for them? 
[Note] MC REALLY USED THE WORD 寿星 ( “shou xing”) which could mean “God of Longevity” or “elderly person whose birthday is being celebrated” LOL
I say everything in one breath, not giving him a chance to retort.
Under my expectant gaze, Victor sighs in resignation, then says a few more words before leaving the kitchen.
-
With the fastest speed I can manage, I finish cooking. While bringing the dishes to the table, Victor places some gift boxes onto the sofa.
Tumblr media
Victor: I’ve found three. That’s all, isn’t it?
MC: Not just these. You could look in other rooms.
Victor: [sighs] Looks like you really planned to prepare a hundred gifts.
MC: I didn’t do it on purpose. When I saw those things, I subconsciously  thought of you. But right now, I should invite CEO Victor to test my culinary skills!
After the meal, Victor finds a few more gifts. After giving them a count, I realise there’s still one more missing.
Victor: Why are there more?
MC: The final gift is very critical. I’ll help you get it.
I head straight to Victor’s bedroom. Removing the blanket, I retrieve a long box from a crevice at the corner of the bed.
Victor has his arms crossed over his chest as he stands at the side, watching as I make a show of straightening the ribbon on the gift box.
MC: Don’t worry, there aren’t any weird presents this time. Before, I was always sending you things I liked, but those things weren’t what you liked. So this year, I want to give you some gifts that you need.
Opening the gift box, I take out the tie that I picked out, and display it from all angles. 
MC: There aren’t pictures of happy faces, and it doesn’t have a strange colour. You can wear it to work!
Victor looks at me, then walks to the side of the bed and leans down.
Victor: Since a certain someone is doing her utmost to recommend it, I shall see how it looks. 
MC: I’ll put it on for you!
It’s rare for Victor to be interested in my presents. I immediately climb up from the bed, flipping his collar up and fastening the tie.
This distance makes the side of his face close enough to touch. His warm breaths are on my shoulder, and I have to force myself to focus on the tie.
With much difficulty, I tie the tie into a basic shape. Victor’s low voice suddenly drifts to my ear. 
Victor: This seems to be the first time I’m seeing you wear a proper shirt.
MC: It looks good, doesn’t it?
Victor doesn’t respond. He simply smiles, tidying the back of my collar.
Tumblr media
Victor: It’s also the first time I’ve seen you cooking without being clumsy.
MC: Of course I needed to perform properly when cooking in your kitchen. 
Victor: It’s also the first time we’re visiting the zoo on a day-off from work.
MC: It’s already the fourth year, and there are still so many firsts?
Tumblr media
Victor: Is that a bad thing? Since they are all first times, you can create so-called surprises.
The words at my ear, bringing with them a smile, create ripples in my heart. My hands pause, and I lift my head to look at him.
MC: May I ask CEO Victor - does this mean you’re satisfied with today?
Victor: This isn’t about whether I’m satisfied.
Victor pulls down my hand which is holding onto the tie, beckoning me to sit down.
Tumblr media
Just as I plan to scoot over to give him some space, I realise that he has seated down directly on the carpet next to the bed.
MC: Someone always reminds me that the floor is cold. So why is he still sitting on the floor?
Victor: The first time you came to my house, you seem to have said similar words.
While speaking, he tugs the blanket upwards before it slides down my shoulder.
Lowering my head to look at him, the “first time” he’s referring to surfaces in my mind.
The CEO who wilfully lay down on the floor to settle work, and also wilfully had a light sleep in the middle of the piano tune.
He lifts his head to look at me, his teasing gaze unconcealed and bright in the light. The tie, which hasn’t been fastened properly, hangs loosely on his neck.
Without even realising it, his relaxed appearance has become something I've grown used to.
Images in my memories and the person before me gradually match up. I can’t suppress the smile creeping onto my lips, but complain about him anyway.
MC: Victor, you’re really wilful sometimes.
Victor: I learnt it from someone.
MC: ...cough cough. Back to the earlier topic! Could the elderly birthday person please assess today’s plans, and let me gain some experience.
Victor: Everything about today, whether the itinerary or the gifts - I’m very happy with them. Not just today. Every year before this as well.
MC: If you put it that way, I can’t tell how to make it even better. After all, even though it’s been so long, you’ve never directly mentioned what you like.
Victor chuckles softly.
Victor: There’s no need to mention them. When it comes to these things, your efforts always surpass my expectations. Also, the feelings and time you expend - they are even more precious gifts than anything else.
A clamour of emotions ferment in my chest, and I finally peek my head out from the blanket.
MC: Am I one step closer to moving you to tears?
Victor: Judging from your skills in tying a tie, you’re still very far from it. But this is already very good.
As the curtain of night falls, the world outside the window gradually becomes quiet. The ticking of the clock’s secondhand at the bedside becomes clearer.
I glance at the time, and it’s already quite late. 
MC: Today’s coming to an end. I’m a little reluctant to part with with it.
Tumblr media
Victor: Reluctant to part with the off-day?
Tumblr media
MC: Nope. I just feel as though you’ll get busy again after today... You won’t just be my Victor.
I mutter softly, but Victor still hears it. He curls his finger and taps my forehead.
Tumblr media
Victor: Who says I'm not? From work to life, which part lacks a certain person’s shadow? Also, other than you, I've never belonged to anyone.
MC: Does this count as a return gift from an elderly man celebrating his birthday?
Victor: It’s just the truth.
I smile while tightening the blanket over myself, shuffling towards him quietly.
MC: But the opportunities to spend time with you without any worries like this are very limited. How do you want to spend the remainder of today?
Victor looks at me, then straightens up to sit with me at the side of the bed.
Victor: For the rest of the time, let’s just stay like this.
I subconsciously loosen my grip on the blanket. He takes the blanket, leans closer to me, and bundles me in it tightly.
The irritating sound of the secondhand suddenly vanishes. In the tranquil night, only the light in the eyes of the person next to me continues flowing and glinting.
Victor: Being without any worries like you wanted - it can be prolonged a little. Also, not just today. Anytime in the future - as long as you want it, it can be done.

                                        »»————- ♡ ————-««
Both you and Jaehyun decided it would be better to film the Q&A at their dorms because your apartment's current state is not ideal and is actually a mess. Boxes were everywhere and most of your things were either already tucked away in boxes or still laying on the floor because you're still in the process of segregating the things you want to keep, to donate and to sell. And being the sentimental person that you are, it was a long and hard process.
Sitting down on the floor at the boys' dorm, you set up the camera and adjust it to the correct angle and height. You pushed the shutter to start recording.
“You ready?” You asked your man who is now approaching in front of you.
“Mhm.” He said while leaning down to give you a peck on your lips. “Have you eaten? Would you like to order some take out first before we start?” he asked with worry evident in the tone of his voice.
You sat down and responded, “It's okay, love. I'm still full. Let's order take out after, hm?”
“Alright, but I think I want to have samgyeopsal.” he said sitting down beside you. 
“Oh?!” you exclaimed. “I have been craving samgyeopsal.”
“It's settled then? We'll have samgyeopsal after we film.” He stated looking at you with heart eyes and you just sat there giving him the biggest and brightest smile.
“I thought you were on diet, though?” you quizzed.
“I'll go on cheat day anytime for you, babe.”
The little sweet moment was captured in the frame and you took a mental note that you'd like to include it in the video. You wanted to show a little of what happens behind the camera.
“Anyway, shall we start?”
“Lezgetit!” he exclaimed.
And just like that, you seamlessly transitioned to your YouTube persona. It's not like it was any different from the real you, but I guess Jaehyun could say on cam you're a polished version of you and off cam is an unfiltered one. Meaning, you were always the kind of person that speaks out what's on your mind but on cam, you try to always say it as positive as possible while off cam, you could be so raw and blunt. But either way, he adored you. He adored how strong of a person you are, both mentally and physically.
“Welcome back, you guys!” you started. “As you've read from the title of this video, we are doing a little Q&A sesh with my boyfriend, Jaehyun.” you continued.
Jaehyun waved to the camera and said, “Hi, I'm the boyfriend.” and then chuckled at his own introduction.
“That was lame, babe.” you giggled.
“Well,” he started. “I know my girlfriend, here,” gesturing at you. “Put up an Instagram story so you could send in your questions.” he continued.
“Yes, that is true.” agreeing to Jaehyun. “And you guys had sent quite a lot.”
“I saw.” he chuckled. “Y/N has screen captured the questions, printed them out and put the ones we chose to answer in this fish bowl that we borrowed from Taeyong hyung.” he paused for a moment. “Thank you, hyung! And I also saw comments or compliments about Y/N or our relationship, so I decided to read some of my favorite ones at the end of the video.” he smiled.
Your expression was caught in the frame. It was pure shock. He was in a giggling fit, “As per Y/N's reaction, the end segment was never in her plan and she definitely had no clue. I wanted to take this opportunity to say to you compliments about you and us.”
“And without further ado, let's start the Q&A!” he exclaimed at the camera while a huge smile was plastered on his face.
You took a deep breath and quickly got back to focus. He's really born to be in front of the camera, what a natural, you thought.
“Also, a bit of a disclaimer: I do not have any flow whatsoever, we'll just be going along as we go through these questions that we printed out.” you chuckled.
“Okay, first question: ‘How does it feel to be moving in together?’ this is one of the common questions I received.” you stated.
“You go first, babe” Jaehyun stated.
“Alright,” you started. “I still feel ecstatic about it. Although, I'm not looking forward to the stress that'll come with the actual move-in day.” you giggled.
“Don't worry, babe. I'll be here with you all throughout.” he commented. “Well, as for me...” he started. “I'm very happy and not gonna lie, I'm excited to all the days that I get to go home to Y/N.” he continued, smiling.
“Cheesy,” you said playfully.
“Ah,” he started. “Cheesy, you said?” he continued starting to tickle your sides making you squeal and laugh so hard.
he stopped tickling you and said, “Alright, on to the next question.” fishing for a new question in the bowl. 
'Would you hire an interior decorator to help furnish your new home?’
While you were still coming down from your high, Jaehyun answered the question. “No, I don’t think so.”
“We both want to decorate our home together.” he stated.
You nodded, agreeing to Jaehyun. “And also, it would be a good opportunity to make new memories together that we could look back on.” you stated. “I’m a sucker for making memories. Not just with Jaehyun but with everyone else around me and that it includes you lot.” you continued and gave the camera a wink.
‘Did you find the right apartment yet?’
“Oh that’s a good one.” you said. “Have we, babe?” asking Jaehyun.
“Yes, we have. It’s a two-bedroom apartment.” Jaehyun answered. “We both fell in love with it when we saw it. To me, it felt like it was the one.” he added.
“Same with me. It was also big enough for the two of us and we could still have a few friends over.” you said. “Although, I wouldn’t be sure if we would all fit if the whole NCT would come over.” you joked.
‘Who is paying the apartment?’
“She’s paying for everything.” Jaehyun joked. “I’m a lucky man that she’s providing for me.” he continued and chuckled. 
You didn’t respond and just chuckled along with Jaehyun.
You both agreed that the payment for the apartment will be shared fairly. Although, Jaehyun had initially disagreed to it and constantly argued that he wanted to pay for it. He eventually gave up on his argument knowing you very well that once you’ve decided on something, there is already no swaying you. 
‘Will you do an apartment tour?’
“Yes, I will.” you answered. “In fact, the first series that I have curated is a Moving Series which will document the whole process of our move starting from the apartment hunting up to the end. Please stay tuned for that.” you added.
“I’d also advise that you guys keep your eyes peeled in the upcoming videos she’ll be releasing.”
“And you should also keep your eyes peeled for me too.” Johnny playfully said behind the camera. And then proceeded to crouch down to the camera from behind causing him to be upside down on the frame. “Hi, guys!” he greeted then left.
‘How did you guys meet?’
“Ah, we're going on a trip to memory lane now, are we?” Jaehyun answered. “To be honest, I kinda prefer to talk about this in a separate video,” he confessed. “So, let's answer this briefly.” he added.
“Okay then," you replied. “We met through a mutual friend, Yugyeom from GOT7.”
“Fun fact: She was a videographer and video editor for GOT7 before she went full-time on YouTube.” Jaehyun said proudly with a smile.
“She's amazing!” You heard Taeyong shouted from the kitchen from which you and Jaehyun chuckled at the older man's comment.
‘What would be the concept of your home?’
“Well, we've brainstormed already.” you answered. “And I'll just show you guys some inspos that we got from Pinterest. Also, we chose whites and grays as the main color palette for our home but with a little splash of pastels here and there.”
The inspos:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“She really likes to have that big mirror.” Jaehyun commented. “From what I remember she insists on having one because it was aesthetic.” he teased in which you responded with a playful pout.
‘What happens with the furnitures in your current apartment?’
“Well,” you started. “I'm actually going to sell some of them.” you continued. “And some, I will actually be donating. As for Jaehyun,” you added then looking at your man beside you.
Jaehyun quickly understood your body language and continued your answer, “As for me,” he started. “I'm checking if there is any other stuff that I would donate. I actually don't own any furniture, the bed that I use came with the dorm which I would just be leaving behind obviously.” he continued. “Oh?! Actually, I do own a furniture. The shelf that I use to store my LP collection and turntable is mine. But I'm leaving it behind too, for Jungwoo.” he rambled. “So nothing to sell on my side.”
‘How are you both, money wise’
“Oh this is good.” Jaehyun teased. “Let's answer for each other.” he suggested.
“You, first.” you giggled.
“Y/N, money wise, she's super stingy!” he confessed. “Stingy and thrifty.” he added. “She doesn't buy just anything. She weighs it down if it is a need or a want. That's why I tell her that it is okay to splurge once in a while especially that she deserves it because she works really hard even off cam.” he rambled.
"I don't know if you're dissing me or..." you teased. “But either way, you are not wrong that I'm stingy and thrifty.” you laughed. “Jaehyun, he uses his money wisely.” you started. “He only buys the things he want if he knows he has the money to buy them. But then, I don't usually see him buy extravagantly all the time.” you continued. “He does practice what he preach.” you laughed.
‘Give out 3 things each that we don't know about you guys’
“I don’t know if there are things you don’t know about Jaehyun,” you answered. “So, let me think about it first.” you added.
“Three things?” Jaehyun started. “She loves to eat anything sweet. Seeing her videos, I’ve never seen her eat anything sweet in front of the camera.” he continued raising the first finger. “She’s a total bookworm. I know some of her books can sometimes be seen in the background when she films sit-down videos but that’s only a few of her collection. She has tons, she could open her own library.” he added raising another finger. “Lastly, she has a clingy side!” he giggled. “She might have a resting bitch face, but she still has a clingy and sweet side too.” he concluded.
“You’ve exposed me way too much, babe.” you pouted. Jaehyun responded with kissing your forehead and whispering, “I love you.”
“I guess it’s my turn now.” you started. “Ever since we dated, Jaehyun has always been behind the camera in my videos. From the vlogs down to the sit-down videos, he was behind the camera supporting and cheering me on.” you confessed raising a finger like your boyfriend did. “He never wanted to hide anything from czennies, so when we first started our relationship he wanted tell it to you guys immediately. But I asked him to keep it on the down low for a while.” you continued raising another finger. “He got into LPs because of me." you said raising the last finger. "In the early days of our friendship, I took him to a vintage record store because I was looking for a Bon Jovi LP." you rambled.
‘Please share your playlist’
“Duly noted, bub!” you answered. “I'll share it on Instagram.” you added.
“Another fun fact:” Jaehyun interrupted. “She has a thing for rock love songs.” he continued. “So, a little heads-up, that is what her playlist mostly consists of.” he concluded then chuckled.
Out of the blue, Haechan suddenly leaned towards the frame and said, “Her playlist is gold!” raising both hands with his thumbs up.
“I totally agree,” Yuta responded and greeted the camera too. “She has a lot of throwback songs in her playlist. It's nostalgic!” he added.
The playlist: old but gold🌟
It quickly became chaotic now that Jaehyun's 127 brothers have come together in the living room. They started to drop their comments after your answers, they followed a flow of somewhat agreeing or backing up both you and Jaehyun's responses. It went on like a routine throughout the whole filming.
You were nearing the end with only a few questions left unanswered.‘Jaehyun, how do you deal with an angry Y/N?’
“Oh,” you sneered. “That’s an interesting question.” you chuckled.
“Well, first of all,” he started. “Y/N does not get pissed off easily. She has a very very very long patience. And I think everyone in this room can vouch for me on that,” he continued while his 127 brothers agreed with him. “She often does get sulky.” he chuckled. “She gets sulky at the littlest of things and it is damn cute.” he rambled. “But as for Y/N being or getting angry?” he paused for a moment, thinking what he should say next. “She’s very scary when angry. So, I hide whenever she gets angry.” he joked. Everyone in the room laughed, including you.
“But hyung is right! It’s not a joke, noona is scary when angry.” you heard Mark say. 
“Let’s put it this way,” Doyoung started. “It’s like she’s bringing the seven hells to earth.” he continued. “It’s that scary.” he concluded.
You jokingly pouted at their comments. Then, Jaehyun whispered, “Don’t worry, love. You can bring me to hell and back, I would still not let you go. I love you.” and kissed your forehead causing everyone in the room to shout, “Get a room, love birds!”
‘What is the biggest quarrel you had in the relationship?’
“We all know the answer to that,” Taeyong answered. 
“I don’t know if it was even a big fight, though?” Jaehyun said confused. “But we didn’t talk to each other for a while after that fight.” he said sadly. “ It was the one fight that almost ended our relationship.” he added.
“Well, we survived didn’t we?” you said trying to comfort your boyfriend.
“Yes, we did.” he said smiling warmly at you. “But it was definitely one of the hardest and darkest days in my life,” he confessed. “You didn’t talk to me for a whole month then,” he pouted. “I really thought that I was going to lose you.”
“But you didn’t. I’m still here aren’t I?” You comforted. “And I’m not going anywhere.” you assured, giving him a warm smile.
“Alright!” you exclaimed. “That was all the questions. I hope you guys will enjoy this little Q&A with my love featuring our 127 friends.” you giggled.
True to his words, Jaehyun whipped out his phone and said, “But before we fully end this video, I will be sharing some of my favorite comments or compliments about Y/N or us.”
Jaehyun had already filmed the ending segment ahead of time and had it saved on his phone so that he could show it to you. And to the viewers, the video will transition to the ending segment video with your reaction being shown in a medium-sized circle.
‘I saw Y/N in a subway station recently and she was gorgeous.’
“I thought this was very random so I included it.” He laughed. “She likes to travel via public transportations but she can also drive. She has a license.”
‘You and Jaehyun are the cutest couple! I saw you guys eating at a fast food chain and both had heart eyes for each other.’
“That might be one of the rare occasions that we eat out. Y/N usually cooks or we have food delivered.” he explained. “Also, thank you for the compliment!” he chuckled.
‘Y/N is very witty, it shows through the side comments she casually makes.’
“That is so true!” Mark shouted then laughed loudly.
“Her witty side comments are so funny yet blunt.” Johnny agreed. “Both in english and korean, might I add.”
“She learned korean in six months and got more fluent in the succeeding months.” Taeyong commented. “I remembered, she told us that she wanted to learn korean so that she would be able to communicate with us well.” he continued to reminisce. “Neither of us knew it could backfire like this.” he joked, which caused everyone to laugh and agree.
‘Y/N is absolutely one of the most talented people I have ever met.’
“Ah, this is one of us.” Jaehyun said. “She always exceeds others' expectations of her works,” he continued. “She’s also crazy talented in sports too, not just arts.” he concluded.
“Oh!” Doyoung exclaimed, suddenly remembering something of you and sports. “You guys remembered how she trashed us at archery and badminton on our gathering?” he laughed. “And yet she claims she's not sporty.” he continued.
“She’s also skilled in figure skating.” Jaehyun shared proudly. 
“Woah!” Mark exclaimed. “Noona is really impressive.”
“She’s also both street and book smart,” Jungwoo trailed. “I believe that's talent too.” he concluded.
‘Y/N has a heart of gold.’
“She really has.” everyone agreed.
It made your heart swell with all the good things that they talk about you. All of them were very supportive of your relationship with Jaehyun from the start. Even when you were only friends with Jaehyun, they would constantly tease the both of you because of how close you both were. Taeyong had always predicted that you'll end up together and said that it was only a matter of who'll confess first.
The video continued to shower you with all those positive thoughts and well wishes on your relationship with Jaehyun. Nearing towards the end, you were already tearing up.
‘Y/N is the best!’
“From all of us,” Taeyong said. 
“We love you, our Y/N-ie!” They all shouted and gave tou different heart poses.
That was the end of the upload. But what the viewers didn't know, there was more after.
The screen went black for a moment but then, you heard Jaehyun's voice, “It hasn't ended yet.” He then reappeared on the screen, “Babe, you're such an amazing person but you usually doubt that. Give yourself a bit of credit, you deserve it. Also, I know you always give your all and work hard but don't forget that you also need to rest. I love you.”
After Jaehyun, it transitioned to your friends. And that was the last straw, your tears poured down while hearing your friends pour their heart out on how an incredible person you are, both as an individual and as their friend.
By the time the video was over, you were a crying mess while you were in Jaehyun's arms.
“You guys made me cry,” you pouted, and they all responded with a chuckle. “You guys are amazing too, I'm blessed to have you guys in my life.” you sniffled.
                                        »»————- ♡ ————-««
Jaehyun and the others went out to get meat, lettuce and other ingredients needed for samgyeopsal. You and Jaehyun decided it was much better to eat samgyeopsal with friends rather than just the two of you. You both thought that the more is merrier. 
You finished editing the footages of the video and decided to upload it on your channel and schedule its premiere on your desired date. Upon finishing, you heard Jaehyun's voice in the hallway indicating that they've arrived from the grocery. You left your laptop on Jaehyun's bed and went out of their room. 
As you were reaching the kitchen, you saw Haechan getting a variety of soju out of the bag and settling them on the table. Doyoung prepared the griller while Taeyong was transferring some of the meat to a plate and putting the remainder in the freezer to avoid spoilage. On the other hand, Yuta was washing the leafy vegetables while Johnny was putting the plates on the table. You decided to help get and set the cutleries on the table and Jungwoo was getting the sauces out of the fridge.
All of you sat around the table and started to grill the meat, “Bon appétit, everybody.” you announced, everyone responded the same. You looked around you and thought, I am lucky to have met these lads. I will always treasure gatherings like this with them. This right here, is my family away from home.
Slowly, you feel the alcohol you took throughout the evening start to kick in. You weren't drunk yet, just beginning to get tipsy. Drowsiness creeping in, Jaehyun noticed and whispered, “Do you want to go?” You shook your head, “I'm fine, I can still handle it.”
Jaehyun knew what you were like when drinking. He also knows how well your alcohol intake is; you can drink well and you enjoy it. Sometimes, a bit too much, like tonight. And as the night deepens, with all that soju you chugged down, you were drunk. And you were getting more and more talkative. Jaehyun, on the other hand, is also drunk. The others? They were having fun with you two drunk. They were recording you being talkative and Jaehyun being clingy to you. 
The night ended with the two of you passed out in Jaehyun's bed. Jungwoo was there to capture how cute the two of you were cuddled. 
The boys, however drunk they are and even though they had several recordings of the night, knew better than to post anything in their social media accounts impulsively. So, they all retreated to their respective bedrooms and called it a night.
The next day, you woke up with a slight headache probably because of your lack of water intake last night. You rolled over to your side and saw Jaehyun still sound asleep. 
You got up from bed and decided to freshen up, you took one of Jaehyun's shirts and sweats so you could have a change of clothes and headed towards the bathroom to take a quick shower. You thank the heavens that you've decided long ago to stock some toothbrushes in the dorms for unplanned nights like last night.
You remembered that you have scheduled the Q&A to go live later in the afternoon. So, you decided it would be nice to post something on your Instagram.

Bechloe Week 2021 - Day 6
Neighbors AU
"Hold the elevator," a voice called out.
Beca recognized the voice and gave a small smile as she stuck her hand against the elevator door to keep it from closing.
"Thanks," the owner of the voice said without looking at Beca. She was on the phone and continued her conversation, ignoring Beca as she did so.
"Please, Brey! You have to do it."
Beca stood back watching her neighbor, Chloe, as the elevator began moving. Beca held her phone up and pretended to scroll through it as she eavesdropped on the redhead's call.
"It's just for one week," Chloe said into the phone.
Beca chanced a quick glance at her elevator riding companion and noticed she was fumbling with folders and files as she held her phone between her shoulder and her ear.
Chloe Beale, age about 26 Beca would guess, moved in next door to Beca about six months ago. Beca thinks Chloe is hot with her red hair, cerulean blue eyes, and a killer body. It was obvious the woman took care of herself.
Beca had introduced herself shortly after Chloe moved in, but Chloe hasn't really shown any interest in anything other than the usual courtesy greeting in the hallway or elevator.
Beca has noticed a lot of people leaving Chloe's apartment over the last six months; usually early in the morning, and none more than once that Beca can recall. Beca was done with one-night stands and meaningless hookups and was looking for something long-lasting and permanent. She thought about asking Chloe out but didn't want to be another one-and-done to Chloe.
"But, everything will be paid for," Chloe said, causing Beca to snap out of her Chloe-induced thoughts.
The elevator reached their floor and Beca waited for Chloe to exit before she did. She smiled as she watched Chloe walk away. I mean, why wouldn't she? Chloe looked just as good walking away as she did coming toward you, and Beca did not mind the view at all.
"I'll even pay for your time if you go," Beca heard Chloe say. Beca shook her head and reached into her bag to pull out her keys. Chloe laughed as she said, "No, not like a hooker. I wouldn't expect sex from you."
Beca gave Chloe a nod as she walked past her to get to her apartment. As Beca stepped over the threshold of her apartment, she looked back and noticed some papers on the floor outside Chloe's already closed door. Beca figured the redhead hadn't noticed them fall. Beca dropped her bag inside her apartment before closing her door and walking over to Chloe's door. She squatted down to pick up the papers.
Once Beca gathered all the papers, she stood and sorted the pages a bit so they were in a neat bundle in her hand. She glanced down at them and they looked like test papers.
"Chloe's a teacher?" Beca mumbled, furrowing her brow.
The apartments they live in cost quite a bit and Beca is surprised. If Chloe is a teacher, how can she afford this place?
Beca shrugged her shoulders and lightly knocked on the door. After a moment, a barefoot Chloe answered.
"Oh," Chloe said, surprised to see Beca standing there. "Um, Beca, right?"
"Yeah. You, um, you dropped these," Beca said as she handed the papers to Chloe.
"Oh, thank you," Chloe said as she took the papers. "That was nice of you."
"Just being neighborly," Beca said with a smile. "Have a good evening."
Beca turned to walk back to her apartment when Chloe stopped her. "Wait!"
Beca turned back and looked at Chloe with a raised eyebrow.
"Would you like to come in for a drink?" Chloe asked.
"Um," Beca said.
"I wanted to apologize," Chloe said, causing Beca's eyebrows to raise in surprise. "I know I haven't been very neighborly and I'm sorry about that."
"Okay, sure," Beca said. "A drink would be nice."
Chloe moved aside to allow Beca to enter. Beca looked around and noticed that Chloe's layout was much the same as hers.
"Come to the kitchen," Chloe said. "Is beer okay?."
"Beer's fine," Beca said and followed Chloe.
"Have a seat," Chloe told Beca, indicating the stools at the counter.
Beca sat and watched as Chloe opened the refrigerator and pulled out two beers. She walked over and sat at the counter across from Beca; she handed Beca a beer.
"I do want to apologize for being so standoffish," Chloe said.
"Um, it's okay," Beca said. "Really."
"No, it's not," Chloe said. "I moved here to get away from my mother. Sad I know, but it's the truth. It gets kind of lonely and you seem like someone I could be friends with, and it would be nice to have at least one friend here."
Beca thought about making a comment about the many "friends" she'd seen leaving Chloe's apartment but thought better of it.
"Do you want to talk about why you had to get away from your mother?" Beca asked as she sipped her beer. "I mean, I get it. I moved mostly to be as far away from my dad as I could. It might make you feel better to talk about it."
"That's a story for another time," Chloe said with a laugh. She took a drink of her beer and looked at Beca. "So, what do you do?"
"I, um, I'm a songwriter and music producer," Beca said.
"That sounds-" Chloe stopped and took a good look at Beca. Her eyes widened and she squealed. "O-M-acaG! You're Beca Mitchell! I've lived next door to you for six months and can't believe I didn't recognize you. I love your music. And that song you wrote with P!nk is one of my favorites."
"Um, thanks," Beca said. "And, what the hell is O-M-acaG?"
Chloe let out a loud laugh. "Sorry. I was in an acapella group in college and Aubrey, my best friend, used to put aca in front of everything. I would tease her about it and then find myself doing it as well."
"Wow," Beca said. "Of all the things I could have imagined, you being in an acapella group was not even a consideration. I mean, it's kind of lame."
"It is not lame," Chloe said, her jaw dropping. "We were the tits and went to the ICCAs our Junior Year."
"What are the ICCAs?"
"It's the National Championships for Collegiate a cappella," Chloe said.
"Ah," Beca said. "So, you went. But, did you win?"
"No, but that doesn't make it lame," Chloe said, taking a sip of her beer and sitting it on the counter. "Let me show you something."
Chloe stood and grabbed her laptop from her desk, returning to sit exceedingly close to Beca at the counter.
"Well, hello," Beca said with a grin, eyeing how close to her Chloe was sitting.
Chloe smirked and opened her laptop. She logged in and clicked on a few things.
"This is our first performance Senior Year," Chloe said before hitting play.
Beca looked toward the computer screen and grimaced slightly. She glanced at Chloe and said, "Did you just get out of flight attendant's school?"
"Hush," Chloe said with a laugh. "Those were our costumes."
"You mean you wore them on purpose?" Beca asked, looking at Chloe wide-eyed.
"It was tradition to wear them," Chloe said with a shrug. "Plus, Aubrey liked them and she was the Captain, so that was that."
Beca nodded her head and listened to the performance. When it was done, Chloe hit pause and looked at Beca.
"It was, um, pretty good," Beca said. "But, your song choice was a bit dated don't you think?"
"I agree with you," Chloe said. "But Aubrey had something to prove so she used the same set we had used the year before."
"Why?" Beca asked, truly curious why they didn't go for something more modern and different.
"Here, I'll show you why," Chloe said and clicked on another video. "This is our ICCAs performance Junior Year."
Chloe hit play and Beca watched.
"Holy shit!" Beca cried out when Aubrey started vomiting. "Oh, my God, that's disgusting."
Chloe stopped the video and looked at Beca. She couldn't help the laugh that came out upon seeing Beca's shocked face.
"How did the rest of your Senior Year go?" Beca asked, closing the laptop so she didn't have to stare at the frozen picture of Aubrey vomiting. It was just gross.
"We made it to Regionals but that was it," Chloe said. "Aubrey was pushing us to the point no one wanted to be a Barden Bella. We were Seniors but the other girls were Freshmen. No one wanted to continue in the group so they disbanded when we graduated."
"That's too bad," Beca said. "You had some really good voices. Especially yours. With the right set, you girls could have won."
"How do you know which voice was mine?" Chloe asked.
"It's my job to know these things," Beca said. "I have to be able to pick out each voice in a group and isolate it. That way, if someone is off-key or hits the wrong note, I know immediately who it is."
"Wow," Chloe said.
Beca went to speak but stopped when her phone pinged indicating a new text had come in. She pulled out her phone and checked the message.
"Oh, shoot," Beca said. "I'm sorry, but I have to go. I'm supposed to meet up with a few friends."
"Oh, that's fine," Chloe said. "I enjoyed talking with you and maybe we can do this again sometime. Or, maybe you'll let me take you out to dinner and we can talk some more."
"I enjoyed talking to you, too," Beca said as she started walking to the door. "As for dinner, can I get back to you on that?"
"Sure," Chloe said as she walked with Beca and held the door for her. Chloe watched as Beca went to her apartment.
"Don't forget to let me know about that dinner date," Chloe said.
"I won't forget," Beca said, giving Chloe a little wave before entering her apartment.
~ BeChloe Week 2021 - Day 6 ~
Later that night, Beca was sitting in her favorite bar with her friends Jessica and Emily. She had told them about finally talking to Chloe and how Chloe had asked her out to dinner.
"So, are you going to go out with her?" Jessica asked.
"I, um, I don't know," Beca said. "I mean, I want to, but all I can think about is all the one-nighters I've seen leaving her apartment. I've done the one-and-done thing. I'm looking for someone who wants to be in a relationship."
"I say go for it," Emily said. "Maybe she'll like you enough to get on the same page as you. I mean look at Stacie; she slept with whoever she wanted and even had a baby out of wedlock. Along comes Jesse and now she's happily married with another kid on the way."
"I think those two are the exception, not the rule," Beca said.
"I'm with Emily," Jessica said. "I think you should go for it. Worst case scenario, you get laid by a gorgeous redhead. Best case, she's looking for a real relationship, too, and you two end up together."
"Things in my life are never that simple," Beca said. "I could really fall for this girl. And, quite honestly, I think I already have. If I feel like this now, one date is just going to make me want to make it something more and not just a one-time thing, so I'm going to tell her no. I think that's best."
"I disagree," Emily said. "But, it's your life. You do you."
~ BeChloe Week 2021 - Day 6 ~
Beca had to work late every night the following week and was surprised to realize that she hadn't seen any one-nighters leaving Chloe's apartment during the week.
It was Friday night, and Beca had Emily, Jessica, and Stacie over for a girl's night. They were sitting around enjoying a glass of wine when there was a knock on the door. Beca excused herself and went to answer the door. She was a bit surprised to see Chloe standing there.
"Oh, um, hey," Beca said, looking back over her shoulder.
"Hey," Chloe said, shifting from one foot to the other. "Do you have a minute? I'd like to talk to you."
"Um," Beca stammered just as the door was pulled fully open by Stacie.
"Let me guess," Stacie said, looking Chloe up and down. "Gorgeous redhead? Rockin' bod? Blue eyes you could get lost in for eternity? You must be Chloe."
"Neighbor Chloe?" Jessica asked, rushing over to the door to get a look at Beca's infamous redheaded neighbor.
"I want to meet her, too," Emily said, following Jessica.
"Do you guys mind?" Beca asked, giving them her best death glare.
Chloe stood there smiling. "You've been talking about me, huh?"
"Maybe a little," Beca said, blushing.
"A little?" Stacie snorted. "How about every waking moment. You should come in and join us."
"I don't want to intrude," Chloe said.
"You're not intruding," Jessica said, turning to look at Beca. "Tell her, Beca."
Beca sighed and looked at Chloe. "It's okay. You're not intruding. Besides, I owe you a drink."
"Thank you," Chloe said as she entered the apartment. "You also owe me an answer to that dinner date I asked you for."
"Date?!" Stacie squealed. "You and Beca are dating? Why am I the last to know this?"
"Not dating, Stacie," Beca said, glaring at Stacie.
"That's only because she hasn't said yes yet," Emily said.
"Don't worry," Jessica said. "She will."
"She'd better," Stacie said.
"She's right here," Beca said.
"So, does that mean you'll go out with me?" Chloe asked.
"Can we talk out in the hall?" Beca asked.
"Sure," Chloe said and turned to walk out the door.
Beca followed Chloe out and turned back to look at her friends who were all moving to follow them.
"Stay!"
"Rude!" Stacie said as Beca closed the door behind her.
"Sorry about them," Beca said as she stood facing Chloe. "Look, about dinner. Thank you for the invitation but, I'm, uh, I'm going to have to decline."
"May I ask why?" Chloe said. "I thought we had a connection."
"We did, do," Beca said. "Honestly, I like you, Chloe, but I'm not looking for a one-night stand or a hookup. I'm done with that sort of thing."
"And?"
"And, I don't want to be just another notch on your bedpost," Beca said. "I'm not that girl." Beca sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "I know we just met but I would want something more with you."
"What if I said I wanted something more with you, too?" Choe asked, moving a step closer to Beca.
"Are you saying that?"
Chloe put her hands on Beca's hips and pulled her flush to her. Beca let out a small gasp when their bodies clashed together.
"What I'm saying is. ."
The rest of Chloe's words were lost when her lips crashed against Beca's. Beca whimpered and put her arms around Chloe's neck. They battled for dominance, only jumping apart when Beca's apartment door flew open.
"I told you they were kissing," Stacie said with a smug smile.
"Go away," Beca said, making a shooing motion with her hands.
Beca pulled Chloe back to her and reclaimed Chloe's lips. If it were possible, Chloe pulled Beca even closer.
Emily blushed and stepped around them, hurrying down the hall. Stacie stood there watching as Beca and Chloe continued to kiss. Jessica grabbed Stacie by the arm and pulled her away and down the hall.
"I want all the details tomorrow, Mitchell," Stacie called back over her shoulder as Jessica maintained her hold on Stacie's arm to keep her moving.
Chloe finally pulled back from the kiss.
"Wow," Chloe said, touching her forehead to Beca's.
"Wow, indeed," Beca said. She cleared her throat. "Would you like to come in? I think I'd like to be that girl tonight."
Chloe's smile widened as Beca took her hand and led her into her apartment, slamming the door behind them.
