au. the met.

She caught his eye from across the way. He was leaning against a column, looking at her curiously.

Used to men staring at her, she quirked a brow at him and he shook his head slightly, looking away. His cheeks were pink from embarrassment. She found that a little endearing. Usually men didn't give a shit if they were caught ogling her.

Amanda is enthusiastically greeted by her friend Lara with a kiss on the cheek and a friendly hug. Over Lara's shoulder, she spots the tall man again. He's turned slightly and she takes the opportunity to study his side profile, her interest piqued. A quick glance to his hands to check for a wedding ring and she's excited to find it bare. His hair is gray, but she likes the silver fox look. Face clean shaven, body lean and a lopsided, closed mouth smile.

"How are you liking the gallery so far? Isn't it neat?" Lara interrupted her thoughts and Amanda tried to focus on her friend. "Find any pieces you like?"

"I like most of 'em," she answered with a small shrug. Her first time at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City was uneventful, as she wasn't the biggest fan of art pieces. Though she chalked it up to never having been to a real museum like this and her parent's lack of interest in taking her and her sister anywhere cultured.

Her friend Lara dragged her here with a promise to return her to her hometown in Georgia "a sophisticated lady." She had scoffed at that, but agreed to go, glad to have a reason to dress up nicely.

With it being her last night in New York, she wanted to have a nice dinner and then maybe a bar afterwards with a group of her friends from college. They had been at the museum for nearly an hour and she was ready to go. She could use a drink after another full day of activity. She was really dreading the flight home tomorrow.

"Hey," Lara told her, taking her out of her thoughts. Her friend probably sensed her discomfort by the way she had her arms crossed, but really she was just chilly. "Let's go say goodbye to Steven and then we can get an early dinner. Sound good?"

Amanda nodded, smiling pleasantly as Lara began to lead her over to a friend of hers she had been introduced to earlier. Catching the gaze of the stranger again, she watched him curiously this time. He doesn't look away, even goes so far as to send her a small, friendly grin, dimples in his cheeks. She thought he was damn adorable.

She briefly wished she was alone so she could approach him without ditching her friend.

She watched him try and smoothly break their gaze by pretending to be interested in a painting nearby. She let out a laugh as he placed his large hand on his chin, feigning contemplation on the artwork. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye, seeing her smile flirtatiously at him. He swore his heart jumped at the sight.

She was beautiful. Sexy in every way. Her long legs were accentuated by red heels. She wore a white dress that complimented her figure and hugged her curves. His eyes didn't miss the plunging neckline either. Her hair was golden, styled on her head and flowing in waves down her back. She was elegant, classy, and had a smile as bright as the sun.

Noticing that she seemed to be leaving with a girl friend, he felt himself moving toward the exit. He hoped to have some sort of interaction with her, somehow.

He found her outside the museum, shivering, her friend nowhere to be found. Taking a deep breath, he casually walked up to her.

"Hi," he said, trying not to sound too eager. He was shoulder to shoulder to her, though she was a tad bit shorter than him in the heels.

She glanced up at him, a surprised look on her face. He felt his own face flush at the delighted smile on her lips. She detected an accent from him, a smidge different from the regular New York one she had been hearing for days. "Hi," she said.

She had a deep southern accent. It may have been the first time he ever thought it was adorable. He may already be a little biased, though.

"Did you friend ditch you?" He looked around and didn't find the other woman she had been with.

"Nah, she's still inside," she said, gesturing behind her to the building. "Ran into someone. I told her I'd wait out here."

He smirked at her slightly bouncing in place, clearly freezing. "Ya regrettin' that?"

"I'm fine," Amanda defended, rocking on her heels now.

Sonny found himself taking off his jacket and offering it to her. She raised both eyebrows so high, he almost laughed.

"Thanks, but you're a stranger."

He held the jacket over one arm, holding out his hand to her. "I'm Dominick, nice to meet you."

When she took his hand and shook it, she shivered for a different reason. His hold was light, hand warm, his eyes gentle and soft on hers. "Amanda."

Letting go of her hand, he offered his jacket again with a dimpled grin. "Now we're not strangers. Take it while you wait, it's fine."

She still looked doubtful but she did grab it. She was shivering in front of this handsome man and it was embarrassing. "I didn't know it could be so cold in April." As she slipped the large jacket over her shoulders, she gave him a look. "Sure you're not a serial killer?"

At his nod, she left the jacket on, eyeing his professional suit underneath. His blue tie had polka dots on it and she got the sense that he wasn't like the guys she was usually attracted to. "I'm a criminal prosecutor."

Impressed, she lifted a brow again. "So you've been in the room with serial killers?"

He laughed and she found herself mesmerized with the sight of his eyes crinkling. "Not very much, I usually prosecute sex crimes."

"Oh, wow," she said in surprise, "that's gotta be a damn hard job."

"It is," he said honestly. "What do you do?"

She tugged his jacket closer to her, smelling the cologne inside of it. "I'm a social worker. I help kids in difficult domestic situations at home. Among other things."

Her eyes held something dark in them, he noticed, as she told him this information and he thought maybe she could find the same darkness in his. She stepped closer to him, excusing it for the body heat and not the way he smelled and the way he looked at her. Like she was something more. As if she could offer something more than just a body.

"That's incredible," he smiled, "you must be a hero to those kids."

She shook her head humbly. "They're amazing kids. It's wonderful to see kids in awful situations thrive despite the odds against them."

Amanda couldn't believe she was opening up in any way to this man. A stranger, no less. But she figured he could understand, as he's probably seen troublesome things in his own line of work.

"Anyway," she tried to lighten the subject, "back home people don't believe in these kids enough. I want to help them as much as I can."

Smiling softly at her, he asked, "where's home?"

"Georgia," she answered, waving her hand, "small town."

"Amanda!" A voice called out and she turned to see Lara waving at her from the entrance, the person she had been talking to still at her side. Amanda waved back and turned her attention back to Dominick.

"I think she wants me over there," she told him. She started sliding the jacket off but he stopped her.

"Keep it," he said, "I have plenty, trust me."

"Oh, no, I'll be fine," she reassured. He was about to tell her again not to worry about it when her friend walked up.

"Hey," Lara said, looking him up and down. "Who's this?"

"Lara, this is Dominick," Amanda introduced, "we kinda just met."

"Oh," Lara blinked, then when she realized Amanda was wearing the man's jacket, the woman's eyes widened. "Oh!"

"Yeah," Amanda deadpanned, slightly amused. Lara caught the hint Amanda was giving with her eyes and gestured back to her friend. "I'm gonna - forgot to tell them something."

Dominick watched her friend walk away, also amused. He didn't catch Amanda taking something out of her red wallet.

"Hey, so," Amanda said, capturing his attention again. Her eyes were gorgeous. Light, bright pools of blue he could drown in. "I'm actually leaving for Georgia tomorrow."

Ah, damn.

He couldn't even pretend to hide his disappointment. He really thought he might have had a chance with her. Or at least even one date.

"But," she said, pressing her lips together to keep from smiling at his obvious disappointment. "I'll be coming back for a visit pretty soon. Maybe you can show me around?"

Grinning widely at her, Dominick enthusiastically agreed. Amanda could feel butterflies swarm inside her at his excitement. She had never encountered a man quite like him before.

"Amanda, you ready?" Lara called again, from a distance, this time alone. Amanda sighed as she had to part with him, wanting to know more about him but she had made plans already with others.

"It was great meetin' you," she told him in her charming accent.

"Yeah," he stumbled over his words, not quite ready to let her go yet. But he knew he had to. "Yeah, definitely."

She smiled brightly again, taking his jacket off and handing it to him. He took it numbly. "Call me." He watched her walk away, hips swaying, heels clacking against the pavement as her and a friend got into a cab further down the street.

It wasn't until she was out of his sight that he realized he didn't have her number. Cursing to himself, he pinched the bridge of his nose. Why didn't he get her last name? Why?

How many Amanda's in Georgia could there be?

Grumbling, completely irritated, and feeling like a moron, he put his jacket back on. He harshly shoved his hands in his pockets when he felt something in his left pocket. Taking it out, he noticed with extreme delight it was a business card.

Amanda Rollins - Social worker. With a phone number at the bottom.

He smiled.

Little knifefish

Omegaverse

Omega! Tamaki Amajiki x Alpha! Reader

No warning, just alpha and omega dynamics

It did not come to you as a surprise that the shy hero was not an alpha. Not at all. You've been observing him since the moment you joined Fatgum's agency for internship, even before you two were formally introduced. Which was a while ago, considering now you worked there full time as pro heroes. However It still left you feeling amused that not only Tamaki was not an alpha, he was not a beta either. No, he was straight up an omega. Which is very admirable to you. An omega Hero, especially one this shy.

However 'amused' was the very polite way to put it. Knowing he was an omega stirred the alpha inside you to flood your mind with such unholy thoughts at the worst possible moments and it was such a pain in the behind since you've barely managed to befriend the boy enough not to stutter while talking to you.

In your defense it was a whole other task to get him to speak at all, it was rewarding though. You enjoyed his little perky excited moments when he talked about his favourite book or band, then he'd flush and ask you about yours, then he'd look interested no matter what you replied.

The situation right now was no different. He had told you about his 'big secret' not only a week ago and now You were walking nonchalantly besides him on patrol, shooting him soft smiles when he glanced your way while the alpha inside was grumbling and groaning like an intolerable brat to 'make a damn move!'

It wasn't like you were hopeless, he had clearly trusted you and you two were close enough that he came to you with what troubled him. You were a close friend, what was bothersome was that you didn't know if he wanted to be more and didn't dare bring it up in fear it would shatter your delicate friendship.

What had been troubling him recently was concerning for you too. He had told you how some other heroes from another neighboring agency had seen him when he had to take his suppressants. Simply said, they've had figured out he was an omega. You tried to assure him that it was okay being who he was and that he was such an awesome hero, didn't matter alpha or omega. Despite the fact that inside you were dying to know what he actually smelled like without those suppressants.

Unfortunately for you not all alphas saw omegas the same as equals. Rounding a corner inside a mostly deserted alleyway, you two met another patrol that was not supposed to be there. Assuming they were there early you didn't care as you walked towards them but slowed down immediately when you sensed something was off. You glanced at Tamaki curiously looking all tensed up and fidgety then at the other 2 that had closed the distance between you by now. Then it clicked. You stopped staring them down as they did the same to you before turning their attention back on him with stupid grins. "Hey there little omega." Tamaki almost visibly flinched. "Aw don't be shy now, lil' shrimp. We actual heroes don't hurt little omegas."

The uneasiness was radiating off of Tamaki in waves and it was affecting you heavily as you let a low growl slip past your lips. The two of them turned their eyes on you as well as Tamaki who looked at you with surprised wide eyes. "Oh c'mon now, you are one of us! We are the same (L/N), right?" You raised an eywbrow. As much as you wanted to personally knock these idiots down a few notches you had a way better idea. You smiled at them "yes, we are." Tamaki blinked a few times not believing what he heard you say until, "and all 3 of us are inferior to the hero he is." They stopped grinning by then "is that a challenge?" As pleasantly surprised as Tamaki was, god did he wish you had not said that second part. "Yes, He can make your quirks look like simple child play. Right here. Right now." Or this part. "What will we get since we are definitely winning this?" At that Tamaki actually walked away to stare at the wall and try to shut the 3 of you out. You felt bad for doing this but it had to be done once and for all and you were there to see it done properly. "You get to be the jerks you are to the 2 of us. If we win, you will forever shut up about omegas being inferior in hero work. And you will both apologise to Tamaki." They shrugged smirking smugly "sure, hot shot. Let's see what he's got." You nodded and walked over to Tamaki who was now rocking back and forth on his tiptoes as he faced the wall looking gloomy. Kinda cute...

You put a hand on his shoulder and felt a twinge of pain in your heart since he flinched ever so softly, but didn't shrug your hand off. You turned him to face you and grabbed his other shoulder making him look at you in the eyes terrified. Ouch. The alpha wanted nothing more to just hug and spoil the distressed omega in front of you. But now was not the time. "We've got this in the bag 'Maji." You said your voice soft and velvety. Comforting. He stopped rocking but looked as unsure as ever "I can't just go against 2 alphas! What have you done (y/n)!..." he whispered. And. Pouted. You were on the verge of taking him away from there right now but you held back. "You will beat them. I've seen them before in action. One has a simple electric shock quirk, you've had eel as lunch didn't you? He is nothing. You can repel his electricity. If not just immobilize them with your tentacles." He listened the whole way, then shook his head "but!.. I... can't..." you moved your hand from his shoulder and cupped his cheek stroking your thumb over it lightly "you've faced villains you knew nothing about and you 'could' with no problem. This is just a friendly challenge... well one that if you don't we will probably need to slave around for them for a while." You sighed. He looked at you quietly for a few moments. He could not have that happen. He didn't mind being bullied by those two but the idea of them bullying you around. Because of him none the less. He took in a deep breath and nod his head walking over towards the 2 leaving you in awe with a slightly open mouth.

The two did fool around and threw a bunch of taunts but it was over for them unbelievably fast. For the most part he was glad for your hints, repelling the shock that was sent his way and immobilizing the other guy with it. The part where he sprout 2 chicken wings and soared towards the other one to wrap him up in tentacles was purely on him. 'Show off.' You smiled to yourself as the two apologised to him and scuried off with their tails between their legs. You stood there watching Tamaki's back as he watched the 2 leave unmoving till they were out of sight. "Well hero you just saved both our butts." he turned to you the biggest grin on his face beaming as he practically hopped over "did you see that?! They apologised! I won!" There it was. One of his cute little outbursts that you knew would be your doom one day.

Before you could think properly you grabbed him by the collar and pulled him in, crashing your lips against his.

His eyes widened, face flushing instantly as he went rigid for a second. But just as you were about to pull back ready to beg for forgiveness on your knees, he parted his lips, his tongue timidly licking your upper lip before sucking on it gently, a soft little hum escaping him, making you blush in return. The tips of his ears turned bright red as he pulled back looking to the side nervously "I... didn't know you felt like that (y/n)..." he tried to play it cool attempting to make it less awkward. The attempt failed as this new sweet scent started filling your nose and numb out all the rest. His sweet scent. You smirked and his breath hitched as you backed him into the opposite wall leaning close to him with your hands on either side of his head "is that so? Well I've been feeling 'like that' for a while now. What about you?" He tried escaping your eyes but you ran your fingers on his jaw tilting his chin to look at you. "I feel... the same..." he almost squeaked out doing well holding your intense gaze "I'm so happy to know that." You smiled and for once the alpha inside you felt a little more appreciative. You leaned in again kissing him on the lips as your fingers trailed over to comb through his hair gently, letting your finger tips massage his sculp. It made him moan quietly and part his lips for you, this time you slipping your tongue past them, tracing his teeth before venturing deeper into his mouth, tugging very lightly on his hair to pull him closer to you. Feeling something touch the side of your hip quite roughly, you had to stop and pull back, the action drew a quiet strangled moan out of him, and you wanted to ravage him right then just hearing that. He seemed to have the same plan cause the sight of his tentacle fingers slowly wrapping around your waist and hooking into the waistbands of your pants was what you were met with as you looked down.

Note

I was hoping I could have a ship for DPS, Harry Potter, Stranger Things, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off if it's not too much. I've got golden blonde hair and I'm about medium height, just above average. I have light freckles on my nose and forehead. I love to read and write. I'm working on writing my own novel as well and hoping I can get it published soon. I'm a total romantic, probably a little too much so. I pride myself on my intelligence. I'm an introvert and sometimes a little shy.

I ship you with Todd!

The two of you would make the sweetest couple. You both have similar personalities, therefore it was only a matter of time before something pushed the two of you together. He constantly saw you around the town near Welton, and both being introverts, it took a while for one of you to actually make a move. It was Charlie who literally shoved him in your direction and forced him to ask you out on the spot. You couldn’t help but smile as he blushed and asked you to dinner that evening, his hands were shaking in his pockets the whole time.

He is very hesitant to do grand romantic gestures, but that is not to say he doesn’t display how much he cares about you at any given moment. He knows that you definitely have a romantic side and is always racking his brain to show you how he feels. His family does have money, therefore whenever you see him you always come home with some expensive bunch of flowers, however he loves to find ways to surprise you instead of just throwing money at material things.

One of his more memorable moments was when he first asked you out on a date. He knew you were somewhat of a hopeless romantic yourself, he spent the majority of the day brainstorming with Neil and Knox about what to do. He took the whole day decorating the cave where they held the dead poet meetings, taking a trip into town to get some food and making Charlie get him a bottle of wine. You saw how much effort he put into all of this, candles decorated every surface giving the cave a soft glow. You spent the entire evening talking about your favourite writers and what you wanted to do in the future. Honestly he could watch you for hours, watching you face light up as you passionately talk about what interests you.

When he finds out you are writing a novel, he is beyond impressed, jumping at almost every opportunity to read what you wrote. You often come to each other for advice, whenever you have writers block he is always there to help you come up with new ideas, he is almost too hesitant when it comes to criticise your work. You often have to force it out of him, even if he insists it is perfect on your first draft. You are often there for him as well, helping him through his anxiety or self deprecating thoughts. Calming him down when he is overwhelmed, allowing him to cling to your jumper as he buries his head in your neck, softly telling you what’s wrong. He often thinks it’s selfish how needy he is, but you are one of the only people he lets his guard down for, he is grateful to have you.

The song I associate with you guys would be ‘White Winter Hymnal’ by Fleet Foxes.

I ship you with Cedric!

This is honestly such a cute match! Being one of the most popular boys in his year, he never really had trouble attracting the attention of girls. However he noticed you were more reserved than his other classmates, but he knew who you were nonetheless. Priding yourself on your intelligence is something he respected and loves your passion for knowledge. Hardly being shy about asking you out, he had no problem approaching you inviting you on his next trip to Hogsmead. He couldn’t help but smile at the way your cheeks turned slightly more pink, relieved when you agreed to go with him. You didn’t notice it at the time, but as he turned the corner he did a slight victory jump, already thinking up ideas for what the two of you could get up to.

He loves your kind and caring nature, wanting to know more about you and determined to make you come out of your shell more, making you want to share more of yourself with him. He is pleasantly surprised when you show him your more outgoing side. He remembers the first time you really made him laugh, with his head tilted back wiping his eyes as he tries to stifle his amusement. Looking back at you as if you are the only one in the room, it’s the moment he realises he made the right choice.

Something you learn to love is his more extroverted nature, he always knows the best idea for a date. One of his favourites was when you agreed to go flying with him to watch the sunset. Being a romantic is something you both share, however he is slightly more subtle, but this didn’t stop him from spending most of the afternoon flying on his broom searching the grounds for the best place to observe the view! Settling on a small platform on a steep hill, you could see the sun slowly set over the long, winding river. You let you head rest on his shoulder whilst he wrapped his arm around your shoulders, softly tracing patterns into your arm. He wished you could stay like that forever.

He doesn’t focus too heavily on looks, however he is undeniably attracted to you. Your golden blonde hair is stunning to him, he often finds himself absentmindedly combing his fingers through it as you lay on his chest, just enjoying each other’s company. He often jokes how it is the same as his house colours, mumbling how is is sometimes difficult to find you in his house stands at a quidditch match! Another thing he loves is your freckles, he always recognises them as something special about you. Brushing his thumbs across your cheeks whilst sitting in the Hufflepuff common room, he says they remind him of constellations he used to find at as a kid.

The song I associate with you two would be ‘Baby I’m Yours’ by Arctic Monkeys.

I ship you with Jonathan!

You two would work so well together! You both had known each other pretty much all your lives, growing up a few streets away you were no stranger to the Byers family. As time progressed you both began harbouring feelings for each other, the two of you being to shy to say anything in fear of ruining you friendship.

You were the only one who really knew him, through and through. One night while you were hanging out in his room after school, listening to his current favourite record, he felt more confident than he ever had. He leans forward, closing the gap between the two of you, gently placing his lips on top of yours. You were slightly taken aback but returned the kiss, glad that he finally had the courage to make the first move.

Will and Joyce always knew you two would end up together, with neither one of them really being surprised when you started holding hands or sharing a kiss goodbye. Joyce can’t help but smile when she first notices you holding hands under the table at dinner, giving you a wink when she sees you staring, wordlessly telling you that she approves. Will was the first to know about the two of you getting together, he literally had never seen his older brother so excited! They share everything together and this was no different, after you left Jonathan was still filled with adrenaline after your first kiss. Bursting into his brother’s room and stumbling over his words as he told him what just happened. Will couldn’t help but smile and wrap his arms around him, seeing him truly happy for the first time in a while, he could feel the happiness radiate off him.

He always has a small smile on his face when you link arms or hold hands while walking into town. He is so proud to be able to walk next to you, showing you off to the world. You both have found a little routine, stopping at both the record and book shops to have a quick browse whilst running errands. He loves to watch your excitement as you look through the latest selection of books, listening as you ramble on about their history or the authors life. When he has the spare money he always buys a few for you, even when you insist it is not really necessary. Not that he minds, if he has the means to spoil you, why not? You would always make sure to try and return the favour, occasionally buying him a new vinyl that you can listen to together.

The song I associate with you guys is ‘Wonderland’ by Big Country!

I ship you with Ferris!

This is definitely an opposites attract situation! You never really took much time to notice Ferris at first, you being consumed in your studies, not wanting to engage with someone so carefree and reckless. You of course knew who Ferris was, but you always thought of him as a slight show off and therefore never really took the time to get to know him. That is until you were both put in the same class, with fate deciding to seat the two of you next to each other. He was taken aback by your slightly reserved attitude, his usual one-liners didn’t seem to have much of an effect on you. He expected himself to dislike the way you brushed them off as you focused on your work, but it just made him more intrigued and motivated him to try harder! After weeks of his subtle flirting and wise crack jokes, one of them actually made you smile. Finally managing to win you over, he decided to ask you on a date, which you gladly accepted.

He does have a bit of a wild side and knows how to have fun. He often finds you stressed about work or overwhelmed with assignments, he may not seem like it but he does have an innate knowledge of when you are being to hard on yourself, always being the one to drag you away from your desk and on an adventure, you even skip school for the first time with him. And although your times in the city are usually filled with sneaking in and out of places you are definitely not allowed to be, he always does at least one thing he knows you will love. Allowing you to spend hours looking around the museum or art gallery. Debating different works or artefacts, he always provides a great outside perspective, always keeping you on your toes!

You also are the one to stop him from doing something too stupid, convincing him that he doesn’t need to go on some crazy adventure to impress you, trying to get him inside for a quiet night in. Although he would not outright admit it, one of his favourite activities is just watching movies with you. Picking out snacks at the shop and going to blockbuster to pick out a movie, legs tangled together as your eyes are glued to the screen. He does spend a significant amount of time watching you instead of the film, admiring you out of the corner of his eye.

The song I associate with you guys would be ‘Restless Year’ by Ezra Furman!

Sorry this took so long to write! I’ve been super swamped with work, but hope you like it. Also let me know how your novel is going, when you’re finished I’d love to read it! ❤️
