theshaderoom: Look who’s back! #Y/NY/L does her first interview since leaving social media for over a year! Y/N talks about becoming a mother and dating #Drake and ex #JackHarlow
“Sometimes, I look in the mirror in the mornings and just say to myself “Oh my God! Bitch you’re someone’s mother!” It’s hard work, but I love every part of it. “
Y/L continues “it doesn’t feel like work though, having Ariel has made me look at the world with a new set of eyes. This sounds spiritual, but I really do feel born again.”
The rapper/model couldn’t hide the smile on her face when asked about Drake!
“Aubrey, brings me so much peace. After everything that happened in my last relationship, the idea of a new relationship was out of the question. Starting a family with him has made me finally understand why it didn’t work out with anyone else. He was always meant to be the one for me.”
Additionally, Y/N reflects on her past relationship with Rapper Jack Harlow.
“I’ll be honest, the day his Vogue feature came out. I immediately called him. What people don’t understand is that I was with him for 2 years, we were planning our whole lives together. I won’t go into details about our conversation but after that I sat back, watched, and cried while letting them have their moment. Which hurt a lot but I’m grateful for it because now I’m with the person I’m supposed to be with.” Click the link in our bio to read more!

Mia you beautiful, beautiful soul I love you so much, this day has a very special place in my heart because you have a special place in my heart and you always will, no matter what. I’m so so glad that you’re here with us and that I get to know someone as amazing and incredible as you
Mia, my love, you seriously mean the world to me and so much more. You are always so so kind and so supportive of everyone in this fandom and my mood always gets a 1000x better when I see you on my dash. You never fail to put a smile to my face.

Our talks are make me so happy, literally have me all giggling and shit, I love how much we fangirl together over anything and everything. And I so appreciate you always reminding me to take care of myself, you are always make me feel so loved and appreciated and cared for. You’re one of the very first people I started to feel truly comfortable with here. You’re simply perfect Mia, or as close to perfect as a human being can get and I feel so lucky and glad that I get to know you and be your friend.
Also, your talent??? Through the freaking roof!! You never fail to leave me incredibly speechless after anything you put out even if it’s the smallest drabble. Your writing is always so freaking beautiful and so detailed and everything is so well thought out. Plus you know that I adore M&E with my entire heart. These two>>>>> they own me, body and soul. I would die for them. Their dynamic always puts a smile to my face and I just love how they love each other. And your angst!!!! Literally heart wrenching but so so good (unrelated but I saw that you might continue Water Under The Bridge👀 and (no pressure ofc) I would LOVE that, I think about that series all the time)

I remember back when you first reached out to me and we talked and idk why but I just felt we ‘clicked’ together. And I know that sounds a bit cliché but I’m just so so SOOO grateful that I got the chance to know you, to fangirl with you, to share theories with you, and most importantly… to be your friend <3333
You are one of the reasons that I can keep doing what I’m doing right now, and I am the one that should really THANK YOU for being the most supportive and loving friend ever. You are a true gem, my friend, please don’t ever forget that okay????
Last (but definitely not least), I am here to scream from the top of my lungs: I LOVE YOUUUUU SM BABE. Again; thank you for your kind wishes and constant support, my friend. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to repay you… but I hope the universe will repay you 1728373773728494 times better 😭🤍
Sending you all my love and hugs, dearest Maurine. I’m always here for you, whenever you need me. Also pleaseeeee don’t forget to drink your vitamins, rest up, and don’t sleep too late!!! 🥰

Sleepy Jaegers
summary: eren and y/n are at a gathering at armin’s place, and their 2 year old is exhausted. eren is equally as exhausted.
pairing: dad!eren jaeger x fem!reader
word count: 1.69k
warnings: none, fluffff
a/n: sigh my baby fever possessed me to write this 💔 might make armin a father as well if people end up liking this one (i will anyway) 😋
Tumblr media
These gatherings were almost like a ritual to the group.
There wasn’t ever a specific place they met, they would always gather in different places, wether it’d be the beach, a park, or at one of their homes. It didn’t matter where it took place, just as long as everyone was there. Everyone was obligated to come.
So of course that includes the littlest Jaeger.
It was mid September, and although the weather wasn’t bad at all, some didn’t really feel like going out to public places like the local park, so the group decided on Armin’s new place, since Sasha and Annie still have yet to see it (their homes are farther from the rest)
They were all gathered in the spacious living room; Jean and Sasha on the long couch, while Mikasa and Armin sat on the smaller one. Historia and Ymir shared the beige-colored chair in the corner of the room, while Annie sat on one of the kitchen stools as she watched Y/N and Connie do the dishes (Armin insisted, but the two almost threatened him if he were to touch a dish).
As soon as Eren walked in, he all but restricted anyone from sitting on the big beige reclining sofa, claiming that he deserved it for helping Armin pick it out. Eren was grateful for going to Ikea that day with Armin to pick out the sofa he was now slouched on, recliner out and all. It was now his favorite spot in the whole house (besides the kitchen, since he loved playing around with the smart refrigerator).
As Y/N passed another dish for Connie to rinse and dry, she suddenly felt a tug on her pants, looking down to meet the tired eyes of her daughter.
She was quick to rinse and dry her hands to pick her up, giving all of her attention to the little girl. “Aw, what’s wrong Mimi? Everything alright?” She asked, already noticing the fatigue on her face.
She only snuggled into her mother’s neck, giving her the simple response of, “Tired.” Her vocabulary was fairly short, due to the fact that she was only 2 and learned her words from the ones around her (Eren got in big trouble the day Y/N heard the word ‘shit’ come out of her daughter’s mouth).
Y/N wasn’t surprised she got tired easily today, since Jean gave her more candy then Y/N would usually allow. And with the way her, Ymir, and Mikasa were running around in the yard earlier today, Y/N already saw this coming.
“You’re tired?” she asked again, earning a nod from the crook of her neck. “Okay, mommy’s almost done. Go sit next to daddy until I finish, okay?” She tells her, moving her head back to face her daughter again. Myra nodded, allowing her mother to put her down.
Walking tiredly, Myra slowly moved through the kitchen and made her way to the living room, spotting her father laidback in the corner of the room, limbs sprawled out on the sofa.
Eren wasn’t sure if it was the father instincts, but he was the first to notice her presence in the room, stopping the ghost story Jean swears is real to bring his full attention to his daughter.
“Mimi’s come to save us, everyone!” Eren exclaims, throwing jazz hands up as everyone joined and cheered her on for simply walking in. Jean didn’t like what Eren was implying, but clapped nonetheless.
“You’re not funny. Aren’t dads supposed to tell good jokes?” He questioned, attempting to steal a fry from Sasha’s plate, but failing miserably as she only swats his hand away.
“No Jean, I think it’s the other way around, they’re supposed to be corny.” Armin butts in, watching with a smile as Myra finally starts walking towards her father.
Eren could already see the fatigue on her face, holding his arms out for her once she got a little closer. “What’s up Mimi, you tired?” Eren questioned, laughing as she instead of answering, simply lifted her arms up for him to take her.
She responds with a nod, her hair falling over her face as she was lifted onto his lap. As soon as she was situated, she wasted no time in making herself comfortable, wiggling out of her dad’s grasp and laying her stomach down on his, her head right above where his heart was.
“Nevermind.” he sighs, making the whole room burst out into laughter. This only made Myra whine, the loudness distrupting her attempt at sleeping. “Sorry Myra!” Sasha whispered, finally giving a fry to Jean afterwards.
“I wonder what got her so tired.” Annie questions, making Jean sink into the couch out of guilt as Eren sends him an irritated glance.
“Jean went and gave her a sugar rush before we got here. It was absolute hell.” Eren’s eyes furrow in frustration as he remembers earlier today and how hard it was for him to catch a nap without his energetic 2 year old jumping all over him. All while Jean was happily eating lunch with his wife.
“Okay, but I didn’t know she wasn’t supposed to have that much candy! Kids eat candy like crazy, right?” He attempts to defend himself, looking around the room for support, only to be met with silence.
“Yeah, thing is she’s not a kid! She’s a toddler! Dumbass.” he mumbles the last part, hoping that Y/N somehow wouldn’t hear. But she always found a way how.
“Can someone please slap Eren for me?” She yells from the kitchen. “Stop cursing in front of Myra!”
Eren has no time to defend himself as volunteers step up to do what their friend asked, but Mikasa was the quickest, and Eren was even quicker. He swiftly grabs Myra’s frog blanket from the bag sat beside him and hids his face in it, saving it from the harsh blow of Mikasa’s hand.
“You’re lucky I didn’t miss completely, I just don’t wanna wake Myra.” she confesses, walking back to her seat.
“God, I cant believe we almost named her after you.” Eren groaned, blanket still clutched in hand.
“Mimi’s close enough for me.” She smiles, noticing the way Myra starts to squirm a bit. “Throw the blanket over her, I think she’s cold.” She suggests, bringing Eren’s attention back to the little girl on his chest.
Eren is quick to unravel the rather big blanket from his grasp and take it in both hands to bring it in the air, watching it fall perfectly onto her small figure. The blanket basically covered his whole torso, the end tickling his neck a bit.
“Thanks again for the blanket, Historia. She loves it so much, a little too much.” he says, feeling his daughter move under the blanket so that her little arms were wrapped around his torso as far as she could go. “She won’t use the one I got her anymore.” he says with a slight frown.
The group laughs again, but quietly this time, not wanting the little girl to possibly wake up in a fit.
“I wouldn’t blame her, to be honest.” Jean shrugs, giving Eren a knowing glance, as well as a sly smirk. He knows how mad Y/N would get if he were to disobey her, especially a few minutes after she scolded him. Since Y/N was only a few feet away, Eren aggresively sticks his middle finger up to the man. It’s not like Myra could see through the blanket anyway.
“Are you gonna finish your ghost story, Jean?” Annie asked, although she didn’t believe a word. She just wants to see him make a fool out of himself.
Jeans eyes light up, snapping his fingers together as he sits upstraight again, ready to go into full detail once again. “Right! Okay, okay, so right when I went to shave my beard...”
Eren let’s Jean’s apparent ghost encounter story fade in the background, focusing on the shallow breaths coming from his daughter. He felt himself getting a little drowsy himself, as if her sleepiness was seeping into him.
He doesn’t waste time lifting the blanket a bit to wrap a protective arm around her small figure under it, adjusting his posture on the sofa and crossing his ankles over one another. His let his neck sink into the back of the couch, letting his head go as well so he facing the ceiling. With the warmth of the blanket and the little girl under it, he couldn’t help but close his drowsy eyes as well, finally giving in.
A few minutes pass and Jean is done telling his story, but of course, no one believes him. All except Historia. “Thank you, Historia! See I’m telling the truth. Morons.” Jean rolls his eyes at the way Armin and Sasha curl up as they laughed, Mikasa and Annie trying their best to hold in theirs.
Jean soon notices the person who would’ve regurlarly had the most to say was being awfully quiet. Getting ready to scold him for not listening, Jean is met with a site he has to admit, is the cutest thing he’s seen all year.
Eren was deep in slumber, soft snores coming from him and the little girl that rested as peacefully as he did on top of him. The print of his arm around her could be seen through the green blanket, as well as both of their steady breaths. They looked so comfortable, it would be a pain for them to get up soon, which they would have to eventually.
“Awww, they’re adorable!!” Historia exclaims from the other side of the room, which seemed to catch Y/N’s attention all the way from the kitchen.
“What’s happening? Is something cute happening? Someone take pictures!” She exclaimed, wanting to abandon the plates and take them herself, but thinks that would be rather rude to leave poor connie alone.
“On it!” Sasha and Jean say in unison. Both are quick to pull out their phones, Jean getting the more unappealing angles, while Sasha actually put some effort into it and snapped a few photos.
These were being sent to every single person on her contact list.

---------------------------------------
The Late Late Show
Y/N always loved coming on James Corden’s ‘The Late Late Show’. His team was always super organized and kind, and James sometimes treated his guests with a meal at a restaurant after the taping since it was usually filmed during dinnertime, and they always had a lot of fun on-set. James was one of the few television hosts whom Y/N would consider a friend.
Of course, being an actress provided Y/N an opportunity to meet and make friends with hundreds of other celebrities, and she considered herself to be amongst nearly all groups of celebrity friendships, but there were some more notable people which she hadn’t had the pleasure to meet, yet. One being Harry Styles.
She’d wanted to meet him since the days of One Direction, but their paths somehow never crossed, which was odd considering nearly all of her friends were mutuals with him. They followed each other on Instagram and Twitter, and would occasionally like the other’s pictures or tweets, but that was about as far as it went. She didn’t have the courage to message him. But that ended today. Both of them would be appearing on his show together.
She and her team arrived early, being escorted to a private room. Most of her team went to the main backstage room while Y/N got her hair and makeup done in her private room. There was still some time left to spare by the time they were finished, and Y/N, along with her PR person, decided to greet everyone backstage and have a quick snack before she changed clothes. She bumped into Reggie and a few other members of James’ team on the way back, smiling and chatting with them while they walked down the hall. As soon as she entered the room, she heard her name called out.
“Y/N! Hello!”
Y/N turned her head in the direction of the voice and smiled when she saw James Corden in the middle of a conversation with Harry Styles and someone else she hadn’t recognized, presumably on his team. She made her way over, noticing Harry holding a small, half-eaten sandwich, and trying to keep her composure.
“Hello, so good to see you again,” Y/N grinned, taking Jame’s hand and pecking him on each cheek before turning to Harry, heart pounding, “Hi, how are you? I’m Y/N.”
“Good, thanks, I’m Harry,” his voice was deep and muffled, trying to introduce himself with a mouth full of sandwich. He leaned in for a one-arm hug and pecked either side of her face. Once they pulled apart he had dramatically swallowed his food and smiled sheepishly, “Sorry,” he chuckled, “It’s so nice to meet you.”
“We were just talking about you,” James interrupted.
Your expression changed to one of surprise before Harry chimed in, holding a finger up and nodding, “Yeah, I’m a big fan. Salacity was incredible.”
“Oh, thank you so much,” Y/N blushed, looking between the two of them, “Well, I’m obviously a fan, too. Who isn’t?”
“Obviously, you mean me,” James joked, flicking his imaginary hair back.
The two laughed while Y/N nodded, “Obviously.”
Y/N continued on, asking James about his family, and attempted to remain calm while Harry’s overwhelming presence barely a foot beside her lingered. She could feel the warmth radiate from his side, fighting the urge not to look over at him every five seconds, though she couldn’t help but feel his eyes occasionally glance her way.
Since James was so close with both Harry and Y/N, it seemed to be easy to hold a conversation. But when James was ushered away by the crew to start prep and begin filming for his show, it left Harry and Y/N an opportunity to talk. They still had a bit before they would be called out.
“So, I heard you’ll be in the new Marvel film,” Harry turned to her.
Y/N’s mouth fell open, smirking unsurely. That news hasn’t been released yet, and as far as she was aware, not even her biggest fans knew about it. “How did you hear that?”
He grinned, looking down and then back up at her, “Uh, Alexa may have mentioned it.”
“Alexa Chung,” Y/N repeated, rolling her eyes with a smirk. Alexa Chung was a supermodel and one of Y/N’s closest friends. She shook her head, muttering, “I knew she couldn’t keep her mouth shut. Yeah, I mean the contract is still under negotiation, but it’s looking good.”
Harry smiled, “Congratulations. I’m sure it’ll be amazing. Can’t wait to see it in theatres.”
“Thank you,” Y/N nodded.
Soon they were joined with more people from the crew of The Late Late Show, as well as more people from their own team as they were told the order of operations and how things were going to run tonight. James had a few segments he had to do on his own before interviewing the two of them, then on to a game, and a small break before Harry would perform.
They listened, intently, a handful of m&m’s in her hands. She noticed Harry shifting in her peripheral and when she turned to see what he was doing, he was already looking at her, pointing at her hands and mouthing, ‘throw me one’. Y/N giggled, picking up a red chocolate candy and scanning the circle of people to make sure no one was staring at her before quickly flicking it across the circle. Harry jerked to the left, trying to catch it in his mouth, but it just bounced off of his chin and to the floor. Only one girl seemed to notice and chuckled.
Harry turned to her, mouth ajar and brows scrunched up, pretending to be indignant and mouthing, “What was that?”
“Another,” Y/N mouthed, grabbing a blue one, this time. Once again, she scanned the circle and chucked the m&m higher.
This time, Harry hardly had to move. He opened his mouth and caught it, smiling and chewing on the candy. “Nice throw,” he nodded, approvingly.
After the meeting, Y/N’s Publicist urged her back towards her private room so she could get changed. She slipped into a sexy red pantsuit that plunged down her neckline and flared at the wrists and ankles, pairing it with a pair of matching red high-heels. Again, she made her way backstage where Harry was, talking to some more people, and when they both saw each other they froze, eyes widened for a moment before their smiles turned into laughter.
He made his way over, now wearing a white button-up underneath his red suit and matching red pressed pants and red shoes. “You copied me!”
Y/N shook her head playfully, joking, “We should swap our suits mid-show and see if anyone notices.”
Harry laughed, “Yes! I can wear yours for the performance!”
The two were greeted by another crew member and led to the side of the stage where they had to remain silent. They looked at each other and back to their crew, silently shimmying and to the sound of James’ voice before their names were called and an eruption of screams and claps echoed through the air from the live studio audience.
Harry let Y/N walk out first and followed her towards the stage as they smiled and waved to the crowd before stepping up on the platform to greet James with a friendly hug and peck on the cheek, sitting side-by-side on the couch.
When the cheers died down, James turned to the two with a grin and said, “It’s great to have both of you back on the show. What is this?” he motioned towards their outfits, laughing, “You’re wearing the same outfit! Did you plan this?”
They both laughed and Harry joked, “Yeah, I rang her and asked what she was wearing and went out and bought the same exact thing.”
“I wanted to give you a heads up so you could match us, too, but Harry told me not to because you would outshine us,” Y/N played along, making James belly-laugh along with the audience.
“I was this close to being upset with you both for not including me,” James laughed, settling down, “You two have never actually met before, have you?”
“No,” they both shook their heads, looking at each other for a second with a smile, “First time.”
“That’s surprising because you both seem to have a lot of the same friends.”
Harry nodded, “Yeah, we seem to run in the same circles, but never at the same time.”
“I think he was just avoiding me, really,” Y/N nodded, making the boys laugh.
Harry chuckled, “yeah, I see her at a party and I duck behind the trash cans,” he did his best impersonation.
James laughed, turning towards Y/N, “You must have been partying a lot this past weekend after your big win.” Y/N smiled widely while the audience, along with Harry, clapped loudly. Cheers, again, echoing from the crowd. James continued, “You’re new movie, Salacity, was nominated for a bunch of awards, but you made history as the first Brazilian to win an Academy Award for Best Actress. What was that like?”
Cheers erupted again and Y/N bit her lip, nodding and looking up at everyone. This never got old. “Thank you,” Y/N grinned, turning back towards James, “Honestly, I think I blacked out when they called my name.” Everyone laughed as she continued, “It was so surreal. I’ve always dreamt of winning an Academy Award but never thought in a million years that I would be the first Brazilian to win. I’m incredibly proud and grateful and just so honored to even be in the same room as all of those talented people. I’m very lucky.”
“Well you deserved every bit of it,” James nodded, earning a voice of agreement along with more cheers from the audience, “Salacity was also nominated for Best Original Song, which was written and sung by you, is that right?”
Y/N nodded, “Yeah, Harry’s not the only talented musician here.”
Both of them laughed as jokingly threw his hands up, stood, and pretended to walk off set. When he plopped back on the couch he said, “First you steal my outfit, then you steal my job?”
“I’m so sorry. I’ll let you open for my next tour,” she joked back.
She felt silly for being so nervous when she woke up this morning. Truth is, this is one of the easiest interviews she’s done. Normally she struggled for the right words to say or with getting a feel on whether she needed to be more professional or if she could let her silly flag fly. Because she knew James so well and got along with Harry so quickly, it made things a lot easier.
They discussed Harry’s career for a bit before circling back to Y/N as James said, “Now, we had your counterpart, KJ Appa, on our show last week. Such a nice guy, by the way.”
“So sweet,” Y/N nodded in agreement as James continued.
“And he had nothing but good things to say about you. He even said that you were one of the best on-screen kisses he’s had” James admitted, making the audience awe as Y/N blushed and smiled. James carried on, “But he did mention a particularly….awkward moment between the two of you on set. Care to elaborate?”
When Y/N’s eyes widened and shifted in her seat in embarrassment, James laughed. She looked at Harry beside her to see him curious and she began to explain, “Well, as you know, Salacity is a very, uhm, how do you put it?”
“Erotic?” James offered, laughing again.
Y/N nodded, chuckling, “Yes, there’s a lot of sex scenes. So, anyway one the very first sex scene we filmed, I’m in this sexy, lacey black lingerie, basically strapped onto this harness contraption in the air and KJ’s character has to come in from behind me, but the harness that was holding my arms snapped, tore off my bra, and I was dangling by my legs upside down with hundreds of crew members watching. And KJ, the sweet guy he is, sees that my bra came off and panicked, and he jumped in, practically hugging me as I was hanging upside down to cover me. But he didn’t realize that the only thing he was wearing was this sock that covered his dick because we were just about to film this sex scene, and it was all up in my face.”
Everyone burst into laughter as Y/N explained, “That poor guy was just trying to help, but they got me down pretty quickly. But it definitely lessened the tension for the rest of filming. We got closer after that.”
“Can’t get much closer than that, can you?” Harry joked, making her laugh, as well.
When that portion of the interview had finished, cameras cut and their team had rushed over to do a few quick makeup and hair touch-ups, laughing and joking with each other about how well it was going so far. They were then directed towards a different area of the stage, sat around a table with rancid smells lingering around.
“Have you ever done this before?” Harry asked her as they were getting re-wired and James was getting prepped.
Y/N shook her head, pushing her hair behind her back and screwing up her face, “No, and I might vomit just looking at all this stuff.”
Harry nodded, “I’ve got an extra toothbrush you can have afterward.”
James came back and they were given two minutes to get situated before the cameras focused in on them. Reggie and the band played the theme song of Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts, while Y/N rang her fingers and Harry looked between her and James. Cheers and claps sounded and James smiled teasingly at the two.
“You both look thrilled to be doing this,” he said, sarcastically.
“Oh, yeah, can’t wait,” Harry retorted.
Y/N pursed her lips, shaking her head, “I must have been out of my mind when I agreed to this.”
They laughed as James directed their attention to the table, spinning it, “Alright, let’s see what we’ve got here. We’ve got 1,000-year-old egg, Fish eye and bird saliva, cow tongue, salmon smoothie, cow blood and pork tongue jelly, bull penis, hot dog water, which is the absolute rankest thing I’ve ever had, and giant water scorpion.”
“Why?” Y/N groaned, sitting back in her chair in disgust.
Harry chuckled and James laughed as he explained, “So here’s how this game works. We are gonna ask each other questions, okay. The questions are written here and we have not seen them. We have a choice. We can either answer these questions truthfully, or, we have to eat the food that the other person chooses. Okay?” Harry and Y/N nodded in understanding. “Alright, ladies first. Y/N, you are going to choose a food for Harry that he has to eat, should he not answer the question.”
She glanced and spun the tabletop in search of food, bending down and taking a whiff of something awful, she gagged, making them laugh, turning the tabletop until something was placed in front of him, “I’ll go with the fish eye and bird saliva.”
“That’s the one I was least looking forward to,” Harry groaned.
“Were you looking forward to any of them?” James shot back, laughing. “Alright, Y/N, what is your question for Harry.”
Y/N turned her card over in her hands and scanned it before chuckling, blushing, and looking up at him, “Harry, backstage you mentioned you were a big fan of my new movie. How much of it had to do with my sex scene, and what did you think about it?”
“Which one?” he joked, smiling, making everyone in the audience gasp and giggle.
Harry blushed, straightening out his suit, a lopsided, shy smile still stretched on his face, “Uh...I mean, even without the sex scenes it’s a brilliant movie. But, uh, yeah. They were very….Oh god,” he slapped a hand on his forehead, looking down and making the audience laugh. Y/N shook her head in amusement as he attempted to regain composure, “Yeah, they were very realistic.”
“How many times did you rewind those scenes?” James teased.
“No, no, no, that wasn’t the question. It’s my turn now,” Harry waved his finger, making everyone laugh again as the band played and Harry spun the table. “James, I’m going to give you….well, I know how much you love hot dogs, so I’m gonna give you the hot dog water.”
“You dick,” James groaned, taking a sniff and gagging, “That really, truly is the worst thing we’ve ever had on this show. Alright, then, what’s my question?”
Harry picked up the card and grinned, “James, you have had a lot of big-name celebrities on your show. Who was the biggest disappointment?”
The crowd ooed as James’ face fell, shaking his head and looking back at the producers, “Who wrote these?”
“Come on, don’t be a pussy, answer it,” Y/N joked, making everyone laugh.
James shook his head, “I can’t. I can’t,” and he picked up the shot glass and tipped it into his mouth.
Everyone gasped and he immediately reached for the bucket and spit it all out, “That is horrible!” he exclaimed, rinsing his mouth out with water, “Why do we still have that? Alright, Y/N, I am going to pick for you….” he spun the table around before grinning and halting a pink, meaty cube in front of her, “Cow blood and pork tongue jelly.”
Y/N winced, poking at the large cube and gasping, “Oh my god, why is it so hard?”
“That’s what she said,” Harry chimed, making everyone laugh.
“We all know how you feel about my movie, Harry,” shot back, making everyone burst into laughter and Harry blush.
Harry hit his face for a second before James continued, snorting, and looking up at Y/N, “Y/N, you’ve been rumored to have very famous exes. Between Timothee Chalamet, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Zakhar Perez, rank them from best to worst in bed,” Y/N’s mouth fell as the audience gasped and laughed.
“Pattinson’s gotta be the best, hasn’t he?” Harry assumed, making Y/N hide her face.
“Now, this is not to say that any of them are bad. Maybe they're in the top three,” James suggested, “But of the top three, who is the worst,” he laughed.
Y/N uncovered her face and looked between the two men, reaching for her fork and knife.
“Oh god,” Harry winced, as James shouted, “No! No!”
She dug her fork in and sliced a corner off, “I never kiss and tell,” placing her knife down and taking a deep breath before hurriedly putting it in her mouth. The texture was what she imagined dog food tasted like, and she gagged, grabbing her tin can and spitting it in before swishing her water around in her mouth and spitting that out, as well.
“That was disgusting,” Y/N blotted her mouth with the towel.
“I can’t believe you’ve done that,” James shook his head.
“And I’m not doing it again,” she took another sip of her drink, “Is it my turn now?”
“Yeah, Y/N, you go ahead and choose something for Harry to eat if he doesn’t answer the question.”
She spun until she landed on the 1,000 year old egg. James announced what it was as Harry nodded and said, “Alright”. Y/N picked her card, turned it around, and said, “Oh, no.”
“Oh, God, what is it?” Harry sat up straighter.
“Harry,” Y/N started, “You and Niall are the only remaining members of One Direction who are not parents. Rank the members of One Direction from worst to best parents.”
Without hesitation, Harry stabbed his fork into the egg and shoved it in his mouth. Everyone gasped and Y/N pulled away, covering her face with the card and using it as a sort-of shield. He made a show out of slowly chewing it, holding back a gag. He used his water to swallow it down and stuck his tongue out to show that he had finished it.
“No way,” Y/N shook her head, nose scrunched.
“You are insane,” James shook his head.
“Tastes exactly the way you think,” Harry took another sip of water. “Right, James. I’m going to choose for you…...the water scorpion.”
“The giant water scorpion. For reference, this is what he’s chosen for me,” James picked up the stiff, hard, black bug and showed the camera. “Go on, what’s your question.”
Harry cleared his throat, picked up a card, and chuckled, “James, I’ve been on your show for years, and even taken over for you twice. Who is your favorite member of One Direction.”
A smile slowly spread on James' face and he shook his head, staring off at the audience as they screamed and laughed. “I can’t choose that,” James breathed, turning to face him.
“Well, you have to, or else you’ll be eating a giant water scorpion.”
“Oh, come on, we all know it’s not Harry,” Y/N joked, earning an amused glare from Harry.
“Excuse me,” Harry said, “I happen to know, for a fact, that it is me. Go on, James. Tell ‘em.”
“You think it’s you, do ya?” James questioned, looking between them before finally picking up the water scorpion, “You keep thinking that,” he joked before taking a bite of its head and chewing. He laughed mid-chew, spit it out in his bucket, and took another sip of water.
“How dare you,” Harry joked, indignantly.
James laughed, turning the table, “Y/N, It’s my turn to ask you a question. But first, I’m going to give you the salmon smoothie.”
“Ugh,” Y/N sniffed it’s pungent aroma, sitting away from the glass of pink, chunky fish.
She looked up at James as he scanned the card and laughed, “Y/N, you were nominated for a lot of awards this year. Who has won against you that didn’t deserve to?”
“Oh noooo,” Y/N trailed, throwing her head back, causing James and Harry to laugh.
“No, come on, we were all shocked on at least one of those categories,” James offered. Y/N shook her head, taking hold of the glass.
“Chug, chug, chug!” Harry chanted, compelling the audience to join in.
“Fuck off,” Y/N mouthed to Harry, making him laugh as she took a swig of the monstrous drink.
The second it hit her tongue, she heaved, quickly grabbing the tin and spitting the contents in as James called the end of the game. She took several sips of water, gulping it down to alleviate the lingering taste in her mouth. They called for a wrap, and Harry immediately dug out a packet of gum from his pocket, offering one to each of them while more crew rushed up to them.
Y/N thanked him, shoving the wrapper in her suit pocket, and after they were briefed from the crew, they had about fifteen minutes to spare while they set up for Harry’s performance. People from each of their teams tried to talk to them, but Y/N had something else in mind.
“Follow me,” she told him, grabbing his arm and jogging through the halls backstage. He chuckled, confused, but intrigued, following closely behind her until they reached the door of her dressing room. “Give me your suit jacket.”
Harry’s eyebrows raised and mouth formed an ‘O’, realizing what she was doing. With a grin, he unbuttoned his suit and shrugged it off, carefully handing it over to her. She shot him a smile, which made him grow steadily more keen, watching as she slipped into the room and closed the door behind her, disappearing. He waited, leaning against the wall for what seemed like a little longer than necessary for switching jackets. When she emerged wearing his jacket, his smile widened.
“Looks better on you,” he smirked.
She smiled, passing him the clump of red fabric that was her top, “Let’s see if we can say the same about you.”
He slipped his arms through the sleeves of her jacket, and although there was plenty of room in the arms because of the flare, the chest and waist were a bit tight. He made sure not to tie the sash too tightly and straightened it out, “How do I look?”
She giggled, flattening the collar of the jacket and joking, “Beautiful.”
They made their way back towards the main area of the backstage, surrounded by their teams and crew, laughing about the jacket change and prepping Harry some more as he rummaged through a small travel-sized toiletry bag for the disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste, and the two of them brushed their teeth.
Eventually, Harry was ushered to another stage where he and a band were situated. Lights dimmed and shone strategically on him as he was announced and began to play. Y/N, never having been to a Harry Styles concert, and a fan of his music, watched from the side of the stage, arms crossed and leaning against a large black case of some sort. He looked over at her a couple of times, trying to hide a coy smile, he danced around the stage and used the sash on her jacket like a rope, swinging it around.
When he finally finished, she, along with the studio audience, clapped and cheered for him. He thanked them, clasping his hands and bowing a few times, humbly repeating, “Thank you,” while James announced it was a wrap. Y/N joined Harry on the stage where the two of them, along with James, greeted people in the audience, signing pictures, papers, and phone cases, just chatting with the fans and taking selfies with them.
James, Harry, Y/N, and their publicists spent about an hour and a half to two hours after the taping to sit down at a nearby restaurant for a bite to eat. They were seated at a private table, enjoying some more banter and fun. She had a feeling that Harry was flirting with her, or maybe she was just hoping he was. He started it off by sneakily stealing bits of fries off of her plate throughout the meal as he sat across from her, and she would reciprocate by ‘accidentally’ stepping on his toes under the table.
“Hope I didn’t scuff those Gucci loafers,” she winked, smirking.
As much as she didn’t want the night to end, there weren't many excuses she could make to prolong the conversation, and everyone else was very clearly tired aside from the two of them. Y/N stayed towards the back of the group as they made their way back outside, and Harry slowed his pace and hung back until he was walking side-by-side with Y/N.
“I guess I should give this back to you,” he slipped the jacket off of him as they exited through the back, letting the cool LA air swirl on their faces.
Everyone was giving hugs and saying their goodbyes. Y/N looked down at her jacket in his hand and she leaned in to kiss either side of his face, lingering a little longer than normal. When she pulled away she shook her head and lightly pushed the jacket back towards him, “No. Keep it. An excuse to see you again.” And as she began walking backward to join her group, she called out, “check the pockets.”
His toothy smile turned into a furrowed eyebrow. Confused, he dug his hand in either pocket of the jacket until he pulled out what looked to be the gum wrapper. But, upon closer inspection, he noticed a series of numbers written in black ink. Her phone number. He looked up just in time to see Y/N opening a car door.
“Call me!” she shouted, smirking, before getting in and closing the door.
Harry’s smile grew even more, clutching the red jacket tighter and slinging it over his shoulder, making sure to carefully store the gum wrapper in his wallet and watching as her car drove off down the street and out of view.

Cass has a surprise visitor after returning home from Hong Kong. She hasn't been in Gotham long, a lot's changed, but there are still people here she's happy to see.
Cass glided through the halls of the penthouse; the floors were perfect for sliding around in her socks. Though, ‘halls’ was being generous, she supposed. It was large, the rooms were spacious, but there were only two hallways. So much smaller than the manor. Less rooms, though more people, and plenty of space to fit them all.
 She could hear the chatter from the kitchen. The boys had decided to play a board game before she’d gotten back for the night. Dick wanted her to join in for the next round, but she found those games a little boring, and she wouldn’t fall for Tim’s puppy dog eyes tonight. But… she was tempted. It was a collaborative game, they’d explained. You don’t fight each other, you work together. That part, she liked.
She brushed past Tim’s guest room, which was slowly becoming more permanent. The door was cracked open, and she peeked inside. Neat and tidy, with trinkets lining his desk and shelves. Tim had changed a lot; his room was never this clean before. On a hunch she poked her head around the door. Behind it sat a mound of dirty clothes, just next to the bathroom door. Smiling to herself, she noted the mess of products on the sink. He’d changed, but not all the way.
 Damian’s door, she found closed all the way. Tim said he liked privacy, so she moved on. Dick’s door was wide open. The room was empty, aside from a messy bed. Hers was the same.
 At least she thought her room was empty.
 As she approached, she heard something moving inside, or someone. Whoever it was, was light on their feet, not very large, in the range of 120-150 pounds, and a bit anxious. The door was closed. She thought for a moment, and swiftly threw the door open, without making a sound.
 A blond girl in jeans and a green sweater stared out the window at the night sky.
 “Stephanie?” She recognized. The girl jumped and swiveled around.
 “Cass?” A joyous grin broke out across her face, though her shoulders stayed tense and anxious. They quickly strode toward each other and met in the middle of the room. Steph’s hands twitched, reaching up, as if asking for-
 Cass buried Steph in a hug at the realization. Steph laughed, giggling at her enthusiasm, and squeezed her back tightly. “I missed you.” They said at the same time. Steph laughed again in delight.
 They parted, and Steph sat on the edge of the bed, Cass following suit. She still looked a bit nervous but radiated happiness as well. They sat there, staring at each other for a moment. Cass smiled, also a bit anxiously, but eagerly, she hadn’t seen her oldest friend in forever.
 “Are you back for good?” Steph broke the silence. Cass nodded, she’d decided, after the gates of Gotham case, to stay. The family had fallen apart after Bruce had died, but she was ready to give it another shot, and so far, things were going well. Board games, movie nights. ‘Team bonding’, Dick called it. It had only been a week, but she’d gotten a turn to pick already. Rooftop tag. It was fun.
 “Things are good.” She replied. Damian was starting to trust her, and Dick and Tim were happy. And well, she was happy too. She loved having her own city, but it’d been lonely. Spending time with people was exhausting, but her family made it easier somehow.
 “That’s good.” Steph replied. Not a lie, but she still looked anxious. A thought flashed through her mind.
 “You’re not happy I’m home?” She asked quickly, her heart sinking at the notion. Steph’s eyes widened in surprise.  
 “What? No! Cass, I’m so happy you came back.” Not a lie. Cass sighed in relief, she didn’t want anyone to be upset she was back.
 “Then why are you nervous?” Steph’s hands were fidgeting slightly, hadn’t stopped since they’d met.
 “Huh, I’m not- Okay never mind.” Her shoulders dropped sheepishly. “I can’t lie to you, can I?”
 “Nope.” Cass popped the p, just like Steph used to whenever they talked before. No one could lie to her. Well. Almost no one.
 “Okay but… promise you won’t be mad.” She looked serious. Cass nodded slowly, watching as Steph pulled a box off the corner of the bed and carefully opened the lid. Her old Batgirl costume was inside.
 “Why would I get mad over that?” She gave the suit to Steph after all, she had her Black Bat suit now.
 “You let me borrow it and I ruined it!” Steph’s voice was guilty. Cass looked at the costume again. Bullet holes and tears marked it.
 “Are you okay?” Cass asked, those were a lot of holes.
 “Ugh, none of us deserve you.” Grateful. For what? Cass tilted her head to show the confusion. “I thought you would be mad because you can’t use it anymore. I thought you would want it back.” Cass shrugged.
 “I have a new suit now.” She assessed. She didn’t really care what she wore. Besides, if she wanted another Batgirl costume, Alfred could make one.
 “Don’t you… want to be Batgirl again?” Steph sounded concerned, but Cass wasn’t sure why.
 “I’m always Batgirl.” Cass stated. She thought for a moment. “Like Tim is still Robin.” It didn’t matter what they called each other; they were still them. “And you’re always a Spoil-sport.” She grinned smugly at the pun. Steph rolled her eyes, but she was amused.
 “Well, you can be Batgirl if you want. I kind of miss eggplant.” Her eyes twinkled mischievously, and the corners of her lips twitched up into a smile.
 “It’s a good color on you.” Cass agreed.
 “How about, we both be Batgirl, and we can switch costumes, and no one will know who’s coming.” Stephanie grinned in excitement. Cass grinned too. It sounded fun.
 “Deal.” She flopped back on her bed. Steph followed suit. “How was Gotham?”
 “It’s been wild. It’s different, you know.” Cass hummed in agreement. “I’m in college now, that’s going well. My mom’s working as a nurse. I mean, you’re right, things are good. It’s just… different.”
 “Batman and Robin.” Cass noted. Steph sighed.
 “Yeah, I mean it sucks Bruce died, but Dick’s doing great. And Damian’s coming around.” Steph shifted, turning to face her. “I’m sorry he died, I know he just adopted you, that must suck.” Cass took a deep breath, watching sympathy pour out of Steph’s baby blue eyes. It did suck. Her chest panged in regret, wishing they’d had more time together. But she didn’t want to focus on the past.
 “Yes.” She thought for a moment. “I still don’t understand.” She confessed. Butterflies swirled in her stomach, she didn’t want to make Steph upset, but she needed to know. “Why did you leave?” It had hurt, felt like her world was ending. It had hurt Tim too, and Bruce. Steph grimaced, she was clearly uncomfortable, rolling back, she faced the ceiling once more.
 “I was mad at first. I didn’t really choose to go.” She admitted. Cass understood, she’d been made to do things she hadn’t wanted to do before. It sucked. “But it was good too. It took time to heal.” She pointed at her head. “Up here too.”
 “You hit your head?” Cass had been shot in the head once. Wasn’t fun.
 “No like. I needed to think things out. Get in the right headspace.” She shook her head, not really understanding.
 “Why’d you go to Hong Kong?” Steph asked. She thought for a moment.
 “It hurt. To be around people.” She wasn’t sure how to describe it. She couldn’t stay in the manor. It was painful to be in the Cave. She never bled, but her chest had always ached, and something felt stuck in her throat. So, she left. And being alone hurt too, but in a different way. Steph looked at her sympathetically.
 “That’s why I stayed, thinking about coming back hurt. I was scared, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I just… didn’t know what to do.” Groaning, she rolled over again. “It’s a mess.” Regretful. But a little hopeful. “Can we… still be friends?” The hope made her heart flutter.
 “Yep.” She agreed. Steph smiled, warmly, like the sun.
 “Thanks Cassie.” She didn’t really understand what she was being thanked for, but as the nickname rolled off Stephanie’s tongue, she felt more at home than she had in years. They lay still, enjoying each other’s company for a while longer.
 Eventually, Steph sat up, hopping off the bed. “Alright, let’s go do something fun kay? How bout we go kick the guys’ asses at Just Dance.”
 “Wait.” Cass walked over to her suitcase. “I got you something.” She pulled out a box. She’d collected things, from everywhere she visited. Picked up things that reminded her of family. She hadn’t really planned on giving them away, but now she had the real people, she didn’t need them anymore. She pulled out a purple ‘Lucky Cat’.
 “Oh my gosh! I love it!” Steph cradled it carefully in her hands. “Cass this is so sweet, I love it.” Cass beamed; she liked it too. And she made Steph happy with it, maybe it really was lucky. Steph smiled wider, clasping her hand and dragging her out through the hall, running so she could slide behind her on the perfectly slippery floors.
 And so, with whatever luck the cat could grant them, they were on their way to kicking butt at Just Dance. As the night wore on, laughs grew louder, and Cass was reminded again, how things had changed, but how change wasn’t always bad. The penthouse wasn’t as big as the Manor, and Gotham wasn’t as big as Hong Kong, but with her family, somehow her life seemed larger, and fuller again.
 Things could have turned out better, but they could have been worse too. And they would get better. Much better, as long as they all stuck together. There would be more difficult conversations to be had, but it was reassuring, knowing that after all they’d been through, she still had her best friend by her side.

Katsuki bakugo dating a lovable s/o would include...
A/n: bitch... writers block is a bitch. Also, this isn’t cohesive at all ahah... oops.
Paring(s): Katsuki Bakugo x reader
Type/Warning(s): fluff, swearing 
Word Count: 1202
Definition: lov·a·ble/ˈləvəb(ə)l/ inspiring or deserving love or affection.
Tumblr media
As of lately Katsuki had been acting.. well.. differently.
Less irritable and more distracted/distant— something was wrong with that bitch.
The bakusquad was gonna get to the bottom of this.
Their “plan?”
Stalking the boy all week.
This was quickly abandoned though, after bakugo had caught them everyday. 
running away was becoming tiresome for the four of them.
They decided to just look after him stalk him during class instead— watching him like a hawk.
They were just about to give up again until the last day of the week.
The final bell rang, as students hurriedly shuffled out of class. Kami, kiri, sero and Mina following suit, stopping to spy on bakugo outside the classroom doors.
bakugo had often been the last to leave nowadays— the bakusquad was about to figure out why.
As they peered over the door separating the hallway and classroom they saw it.
tilted back in his chair, bakugo was sat talking to you.
Y/n l/n the most lovable person in all of class 1-A. The prettiest little thing, with such a charismatic personality.
You sat right behind bakugo, deku I’m sorry we took your seat his head placed on your desk as your fingers brushed through his hair— bakugo swatting yours hands lazily.
You two were conversing whether or not to study in his room or yours.
The four stood dumbfounded
Like wtf, how did this feral ass bitch get a girlfriend like you? How did they not notice? When was he ever interested in girls? Poor kirishima?
You’re too good for this world and too good for bakugo. Oop.
At least that’s what class thought when they found out. Sero needs to tape kaminaris mouth shut
How in the hell could they just stand there and watch bakugo corrupt you
Nay nay they say
Everyone and I mean everyone tried to reason with you— Even All might questioned your choice. “ahh young l/n and young bakugo... young love... why young bakugo?”
“Idk y/n.. kacchan.. he’s kacchan. Just don’t get hurt. I know you can take care of yourself, but seriously.. it’s kacchan.”
“Y/n, I trust in your judgement...” “Todoroki thank you so much, everyone’s saying th—“ “let me finish” “oh.” “please, I need you to be careful. Remember last sports festival?” “Katsuki had a muzzle?” “Yes, Bitch had a muzzle.”
>.>
<.<
...
Anyways... you stood your ground, and after a while people learned to just let y’all be.
It is what it is
That didn’t mean they stopped keeping their eyes on bakugo though.
No, if you got hurt all the teachers and class 1-A would beat his ass.
Everyone loved you to bits.
Okayyyy now on to dating because this shit is getting too long
Katsuki was always careful with you, you could’ve had anyone and yet you chose him. He didn’t wanna mess this up.
first kiss was a trip, you both leaned in several times but kept getting interrupted, so Katsuki finally just stopped waiting for a right time and kissed you. 
let me tell you, he fell in love with kisses. 
he was always like “whats the hype?” but after his first one he realized he never wanted to stop kissing you. 
Cuddling was secretly his favorite, but don’t tell anyone unless you want them to get blown up.
Whenever he’d want cuddles he’d rather say “oi come here” Than the actual word.
“That’s such an embarrassing word y/n, I’m not saying that shit.”
he was a total softie around you, but only you. 
to him, yes his pride was important, but you were above it all. 
he had the privilege of loving you. 
One time you were making tea in the kitchen and he just happened to walk by, doing a double take he approached you to kiss your forehead and proceeded to just leave..
-.-
You brought out this side of him no one ever knew he had.
it was quite scary tbh, but nice. 
When Katsuki got angry all you had to do was place a hand on his thigh and he’d calm down immediately.
“Fuck off,” he’d mutter.
But legit he’d make no motion to remove your hand, instead he’d get up and lead you to his room to calm down further.
He’d always offer shove his credit card in front of yours to pay for your food/needs, making sure you were well taken care of was a top priority of his.
Soo when you get hurt, he’s always first to find out and carry you to recovery girl.
all the girls would constantly gush at his affection towards you.
“SHUT UP YOU FUCKING EXTRAS.” 
mina even has a picture of Baku giving you a piggy back ride at the beach.
“oi, raccoon eyes stop being a fucking stalker! now send me that shit!” 
its his lock screen... 
Cooking was fun :)
You’d sit on the counter and bakugo would stand between your legs, you’d try to kiss him and he’d move away laughing every time.
fucking bitch. 
He likes to braid your hair when its was just the two of you. (if it’s short he still tries)
 He just likes the way your shampoo smells.
Katsuki makes sure to bring you a water bottle everyday— you always forget and ask for his.
Not that he minds, he just fakes being annoyed. Ofc he’d let his girlfriend drink out of his water bottle. indirect kisses
The first time Katsuki brought you home his parents actually got so excited.
You genuinely changed their son and they couldn’t thank you enough.
They liked you even before they met you, now after seeing how polite and kind you were they loved you.
sometimes when mitsuki and Katsuki fought, Katsuki would try to bring you in to side with him.
Sike
You sided with mitsuki and scolded Katsuki instead, which earned a proud smile from his mother. 
You didn’t baby him and you kept him somewhat grounded, she really appreciated you.
katsuki just thought you were kissing his mom’s ass.
movie nights with bakugo were... something. He got bored every five seconds and just pushed your head up so he could kiss you, you didn’t really mind but like.. every five seconds? 
he adored pestering you, just to see your face that resembled this -.- ... so worth it. 
oh? were you studying? not anymore, now your on katsuki’s lap making out. 
oh? were you talking to deku? Yeah not anymore, you’re being pulled away and he’s screaming “fuck off deku.” 
oh? are you cold? yeah he turned the heater off so you'd cuddle him. 
yes he likes bugging you but he would rather see a smile on your gorgeous face.
-.- :) 
forcing a massage if you've had a really bad day.
calling you cute pet names that made you blush: baby, babe, angel, princess, dumbass, idiot, baka... wait
helping you study 
you guys were so cute and the class soon realized that you two deserved each other.
Bakugo knew he got lucky, and he’s forever grateful for you. 
Extra Prompts
 Shit Katsuki Says: 
“babe stop looking at my ass.”
“baka, dont be stupid. eat.” 
“why the fuck do my parents love you so much?” 
“yeah, whatever, I love you too I guess.” 
“ Oi, gimme a real fucking kiss women.”

Since @hereisasuggestionshutup​ said that he (they? idk) wants some fluff earlier and I have inspiration I wrote this.... Also tagging @merthurlocked, @the-winter-witcher, @she-who-ate-pizza-with-cap and @jaskieriest I think you might like this... hope you all enjoy this <3
The door to the tavern/inn opened and a big man, in armor, with yellow cat eyes entered, a frown on his face. His white hair, armor and scarred face were streaked with red, patrons of tavern went quiet not wanting to draw attention of the man. Reason was obvious - who’d want attention of a man  who has some monsters head attached to his hip and whose swords were still dripping blood...Suddenly the bard who was singing and playing approached the scary man with familiarity of a very close friend...some would even dare say familiarity of a lover.
-Geralt! - the bard said loudly, happy that his friend seemed uninjured - Right on time - I just finished for the evening! - Geralt smiled, he hoping to have his....friends...company in the room while he eats - I ordered you a bath...gods above, what did you hunt? It stinks!
-Jaskier, where’s the alderman?- witcher’s voice was soft, as if he didn’t wish other to hear him - I want to get my coin first and then bath....plus you wont complain nearly as much of the smell - it’s mostly this - Geralt pointed to the head hanging from the hook
-Oh he’s over there in that corner -Jaskier, the bard, showed which corner, he was also talking quietly....for a change - I’ll sing a song or two more - while you finish up the contract fully...
Jaskier moved back to where he was before, closer to the crowd, and started on his song - Toss a coin. People started to sing and drink and talk again, the moment of unnecessary fear gone. The alderman invited Geralt to sit with him and drink a pitcher or two of ale. Bard sang two more songs - the Fishmonger’s daughter and the Succubus bait song - the audience seemed to like these the most, and singing what crowd (drunk or sober) likes brings more coin, when witcher signaled he was going to their room. Jaskier finished the song, collected his coin, ordered some food and ale to be brought up and went after his witcher.
Geralt was already undressing when Jaskier came in. As bard was checking his darling wolf for wounds the inn-keeper’s daughter brought the food and ale into the room.
-Oh gods, I’m so sorry!- the young lady blulshed and apologized to the naked witcher, keeping her eyes away, respectfully. -I...uh...I-i brought food and ale...can I get you anything else, misters?-
-No worries, child- Geralt’s voice was rough- No, we don’t need anything else, thanks- he was already in the bath, girl bowed her head, left the room and closed the door. - Jask? Can you wash my hair?
Jaskier beamed and happily obliged, gently washing his precious wolf’s hair. Geralt’s sigh of content and Jask’s quiet singing along with splashing of water the only sounds in the room. Geralt concentrated on Jask’s musical voice, ignoring other noises - especially those from tavern downstairs, letting his lovely  nightingale’s song wash over him and relax him. Jask’s gentel finger moved to Geralt’s shoulders and back, massaging him as he helped Geralt bath, taking care to trace and wash old and new scars gently, getting more and more happy noises from his wolf. 
After bath, Jaskier asked Geralt to allow him to feed him “You deserve it, Geralt! I want to take care of you, especially when I know you are exhausted after a fight...like right now”. Geralt indulged Jask, laying in bed, only in his small clothes, he ate and drank - all fed and given to him by his darling singing nightingale... After Jask took the dirty dishes to the kitchen, White Wolf pulled him into his lap. He was weak and wanting for some cuddles. Bard smiled and let himself be tugged, he didn’t mind when Geralt got all cuddly - in fact he enjoyed it. It usually meant Geralt was more accepting of affection and touch....he was also a bit more free in expressing himself. Jask was on Geralt’s chest, wolf’s arms around him and nose in his hair, scenting him (Jask never quite understood that, but figured it was comforting for witcher and let him do it whenever). Jask put one arm under one of Geralt’s and the other stroke gently first along scars on his face, whispering against wolf’s chest just how lovely and sweet his wolf was, then slowly moving downwards, spending some time on the scar on Geralt’s neck - stroking, nuzzling, kissing and licking it - saying how proud he was of his brave, brave witcher, how terribly sad he’d be if Geralt hadn’t survived. Moving lower,  nightingale’s spent time touching, stroking, kissing each scar, saying just how happy he felt to have Geralt in his life and how lucky he was to have someone like Geralt love him and to love.... That night they didn’t have sex, no, simply kissing, touching, nuzzling...simply holding each other was Geralt’s favourite activity...
--------
It was several months since Geralt last saw Jaskier. He was travelling north-west, to Kaer Morhen, thinking of his nightingale and where he’d spend the winter when he heard a scream, a scream that sounded suspiciously like Jaskier. The White Wolf turned Roach and pushed her to run towards scream...not that he needed to push her much since she was very fond of bard who sneaked her apples. It only took them 5 minutes of gallop to get to the clearing where Jaskier was being attacked by some bandits...he was trying to keep them away with a sturdy tree branch - and it was working, nearby a bandit was on the forest floor bleeding from head. Geralt took his steel sword , he was angry - someone dared attack HIS Jaskier...Needless to say the bandits didn’t live long after seeing a very angry and protective witcher. Geralt and Jaskier left the clearing fast, merely staying long enough to check if bandits had any coin or valuables, and to pack Jask’s stuff. They rode to the nearby village, letting Roach decide on pace...
Fortunately there was a free room in the local inn. Geralt asked for food, ale and a bath to be brought up, claiming he’d rather not disturb the patrons in the tavern part. The inn-keeper was grateful for that and gave the food for free. Geralt planned to comfort Jask somehow - he was shaking terribly and wolf was worried. He helped his bird with his clothes and to get into bath. He did his best to be gentle...but winced every and each time his bird did. After bath he put Jask in his small clothes, once again trying his best to be tender. As soon as Jask was sitting on the bad, the bar-maid - Lyna as she introduced herself - brought food. Geralt asked her to come back in half an hour to pick up empty dishes. Geralt leaned against the headboard of the bed, pulling Jask against his chest. Witcher wrapped an arm around bard’s stomach, holding him, petting his side with his thumb and fed his darling. 
By the time Lyna took away the dishes, Jaskier calmed down and stopped shaking. He didn’t want to move away from Geralt, he turned, curled in Geralt’s lap, pressed into his chest. Geralt wrapped his arms around precious song bird in his lap, his nose in Jask’s hair. He didn’t say anything when he smelled tears, just tightened his hold and nuzzled his hair. He whispered to Jask that “all is fine” and “I’m here, you’re safe” and “I’m so proud of you”. Jaskier soon fell asleep in Geralt’s arms. 
When Geralt woke up next morning, Jaskier was still sleeping and in his arms. He didn’t get up - just moved Jask into more comfy position. Jask woke up around noon, confused as to why he was in Geralt’s arms and “what the fuck are we doing in an inn, Geralt?” Wolf explained, tho he left out the gore. Through the explanation he wandered if Jask would say yes to going to Kaer Morhen with him. well only one way to find out.
-Jaskier...do you have plans concerning the winter? - witcher asked nervously, stroking his bard’s cheek in a rare sign of affection 
-No, not really....- bard was honest, he smelled of hope Geralt noted and wondered if that was a good sign - I was hoping- he cut himself off- Why are you asking?
-Well...I...uh....-Geralt stuttered -  I wanted to....uh....to ask if...if you’d go home with me? -his voice was becoming more and more quiet with each word
-Melitele’s tits YES- Jaskier sounded happy, possibly happiest Geralt’s ever heard or seen him and he felt incredibly proud.

i.
The car ride back from Applebee’s was a silent one.
After your father and Miriam had departed, heading off to continue their date at a local bar, you’d retreated to Michael’s car without another word. Throughout the car ride, he continued to throw sidelong glances at you, mouth quirking up at the corners at the way you scowled, arms crossed protectively over your chest. You could tell it was taking everything in him not to say something stupid.
Mentally, you scolded yourself for expecting anything more from a boy like Michael Langdon. You could hardly even feel sorry for yourself; this was your fault for being so naive.
You couldn’t help it, though. There was something inside you that made it impossible to hate Michael like you knew you should, something that compelled you to give him his way, even when you knew he didn’t deserve it. For christ’s sake, you’d even allowed him to finger you under the table while your parents were sitting right there!
What the hell was wrong with you?
You’d been asking yourself that question nonstop ever since things had gotten complicated between the two of you. At one point in your life, you’d had a good head on your shoulders. Now, thanks to Michael, you were nothing more than a mess of poor decisions and teen angst.
Michael pulled into the driveway and you got out of the car, slamming the door with an unintentionally large amount of force.
“Hey, don’t slam the door,” said Michael as he stepped out, and you scoffed.
“I’ll slam the door all I fucking want,” you shot back, storming up the porch steps and tapping your foot impatiently as you waited for Michael to catch up with you and unlock the door.
“Jeez, what’s your problem?” he said, heading onto the porch once he’d locked the car. You felt a surge of anger bubble up from your stomach, and you swallowed the compulsion to start screaming at him right there in public.
Instead you shut your eyes and let out a shaky sigh, digging your fingernails into your palms hard enough to draw blood.
He opened the door and you pushed past him to go inside, grateful to no longer worry about the prospect of being labeled a crazy bitch by some eavesdropping spectator. You were alone with Michael now, and you were free to do as you pleased.
Michael shut the door behind him, but you were quick to block the stairway, cocking your head to one side and planting your hands on your hips. You hadn’t even realized how upset you were until right now; your body was trembling, and your throat narrowed slightly as angry tears stung your eyes. “You wanna know what my problem is?”
Michael gave you a puzzled look, clearly caught off guard by this. And of course he was caught off guard- you were sure that in his mind, he’d done absolutely nothing wrong.
You decided not to wait any longer for him to respond. “My problem, Michael, is that you keep making me believe that you’re going to change, but you never do. You claim that you like me, that you want to spend time with me, that I’m so different from all the other girls you’ve fucked, but you’ve done nothing but treat me like shit. And then when I get upset about it, you act like you don’t even know what I’m fucking talking about.”
You’d let it all out in one breath, and by the time you were finished, you were winded. There was a pregnant pause as Michael gathered his bearings, and you stared at him expectantly.
“Look, (y/n), I don’t know what you want from me. I was high when I said those things. Sure, you’re fun and everything, but-“ he rubbed the back of his neck, eyes darting away from yours to look at the floor.
“-But what? So you were just making it all up? You just asked me on a date for- for what, Michael? Shits and giggles? So you could shove your fingers inside me in public? What, did you just ask me out because you were bored or some shit? Help me understand, Michael.”
Whatever you do, do NOT fucking cry, you told yourself. Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t fucking cry.
You took in a shaky breath, averting your gaze up to the ceiling. You knew if you looked at Michael for too long, at those beautiful blue eyes that you’d found yourself getting lost in too many times to count, you wouldn’t be able to hold back the tears anymore.
To your dismay, you heard him chuckle. “You didn’t really seem to mind me shoving my fingers inside you when it was happening.”
There he went again, taking absolutely nothing seriously and intentionally ignoring your main point. You groaned in frustration, looking back to Michael, who’d taken to leaning up against the front door.
“That isn’t the fucking point, asshole,” you snapped. “The point is that you keep fucking with my head and I can’t take it anymore.”
Michael blinked. Would you ever be able to get anything through his head? Was it even worth the effort?
“If you wanted to get swept off your feet like every other fucking teenage girl, you came to the wrong person,” he said. “But I thought you were smarter than expecting that shit from me.”
You narrowed your eyes, pulse quickening as something like rage began to build up in your throat. How dare he try to frame you as some sort of stupid, desperate girl, pining for romance from an uncaring boy? How dare he try to make you feel crazy?
“Really, Michael? That’s the game you’re gonna play? You’re the one who asked me out on a date. You’re the one who said all that stupid lovey-dovey shit to me.” You’d drawn in closer to him now, your mind clouded and dizzy, senses numbed. He didn’t move, looking down at you with raised eyebrows, infuriatingly calm as always. “But of course you’re pinning it all on me. Because you’re perfect little Michael Langdon who never takes any responsibility for his actions.”
He smirked, and you nearly lost your cool right then.
“I’m so sick of your selfish, egotistical bullshit. I wish my dad never met Miriam. You’re the worst thing to ever fucking happen to me. I hate you, Michael. Don’t come near me ever again.”
In that moment, every word out of your mouth was pure, unyielding fact. You did wish that your father hadn’t ever met Miriam, and Michael was the worst thing to ever happen to you. So how come you felt almost guilty saying such things out loud?
“Oh, believe me. I’ll have no problem staying away from you. You’re the one who always ends up crawling back.” He leaned in, face mere inches away from yours, and you could smell that god forsaken cinnamon gum on his breath. “‘Cause let’s face it, (y/n). You just can’t resist being split on my cock.”
For a moment, you only stared at him. And then, without thinking, you slapped him across the face with as much force as you could muster.
You both stood there in stunned silence for a moment, and it was only when he lifted his hand to wrap firmly around your wrist that you realized how much of a mistake you’d made. His eyes were dark, lips no longer curved mischievously upwards; he looked utterly unpredictable, which was what frightened you the most.
“So that’s how you wanna do this, huh?” His voice was low, face still dangerously close to yours. Your breath hitched as you anticipated his next move, lips curling nervously into your mouth.
“Michael, I-“
He whirled you around before you could finish, pushing you up against the front door and trapping you there with his chest. You whimpered as his hand made its way up your inner thigh and ghosted over your clothed core, your hips bucking forward inadvertently as he did so.
You really fucking hated yourself right now.
“You hate me, huh?” His silky waves tickled your cheek as he moved his head to whisper in your ear, dragging his fingertips along the length of your lace-covered slit.
“Yeah, I do fucking hate you.”
You were hit with a sudden intoxicating mixture of lust and fury, and hungrily, impulsively, you pulled his head back by his hair and kissed him.
His teeth clashed noisily against yours as your lips moved together, his tongue wasting no time before entering your mouth and roughly kneading against yours. Between your parted thighs, he continued rubbing your pussy, already dripping from his touch, and you whined against his mouth; when you felt him laugh, you bit his lower lip, hard, hoping that you’d jolt him with the unexpected pain.
“If you hate me that much, why are you so wet?” he breathed before pressing his lips back against yours, swiftly moving aside the thin fabric of your panties to slip a finger inside you. You moaned, loud and unadulterated, grasping at the front of Michael’s shirt as he began thrusting into you, hard and fast.
“Just because I like fucking you doesn’t mean I can’t- fuck- think you’re a narcissistic, entitled piece of sh-shit!”
He sank a second finger inside, fucking you with such intensity that you weren’t sure you’d be able to walk right tomorrow, your head falling back to rest against the door. “Huh. Then it’s pretty pathetic of you to let someone you think is an entitled narcissist finger fuck you against the wall, don’t you think?”
“J-just shut the fuck up, Michael.” You reached down between his legs, palming at the massive protrusion in the front of his jeans before working down the zipper, eager to get this shit over with.
“I have half a mind to put you on your knees and shut you up, you little bitch,” he spat; he sounded so genuine that it startled you.
“You try that shit and I’ll bite your fucking dick off.” Truthfully, you wouldn’t exactly mind having his cock in your mouth (when did you ever?) but you certainly didn’t think he deserved it after tonight.
He slammed his fingers inside you again so deep that you saw stars, your jaw unhinging as he continued to work you open, your shaking hands making quick work of freeing his cock from its confines. Once you pulled it out, you ran your thumb over the leaking slit, spreading the bead of precum across his flushed head.
“I’m gonna fucking wreck your little cunt,” he mumbled, breath hot on your neck, removing his fingers from your heat and wiping your wetness across your inner thighs. Lifting your skirt up further, he yanked your panties down to your knees before moving his hand up to wrap around your neck; you took the momentary lapse to align the head of his cock with your slick entrance.
“Yeah? I’d love to see you try. None of that pussy shit you usually give me,” you retorted breathlessly. Of course, you weren’t being honest; oftentimes, you could still feel him for days after he fucked you. You were speaking out of anger, though, intentionally riling him up.
At this, his grip tightened on your throat, and he pushed inside you, all the way to the hilt, without warning.
“Oh fuck,” you cried out, your moans growing louder and more frantic as he quickened his pace, the door nearly rattling in its hinges as he railed you against it.
“Is this enough for you, bitch? Or is this still too pussy for you?” His hips slammed against yours hard enough to bruise, causing tears to spring to your eyes, but you refused to let him win.
“Y-you’re pra-practically putting me to- oh fuck- sleep.”
You doubted he believed you, what with all the noise you were making and the way you could hardly keep yourself together, but Michael Langdon was never one to turn down a challenge.
“Oh yeah? I’m putting you to sleep?” He grabbed your leg and pulled it up so you could hook it around his waist, letting his cock make sharp contact with your cervix as he slammed into you even harder and deeper than before; you snaked your arms around his hips to dig your nails into the sensitive skin of his ass, intending to leave half-moon imprints there, marking him like he’d marked you so many times before.
“You falling asleep now? Huh? Is this enough for you, you greedy fucking slut?”
He actually sounded pissed.
Good.
As much as you wanted to come back with a biting response, you couldn’t; the wind was knocked out of you with each ruthless thrust of his cock into your heat, and you gasped for air as your eyes rolled back into your head.
“Oh my god, oh fuck-“
His torso, still covered by the black t-shirt he hadn’t bothered to take off, made friction against your clit as he moved his body in time with yours, the sensation bringing you dangerously close to the edge. The gravelly whines leaving your throat were so weak that you were sure only Michael could hear them, his own animalistic groans prominent in your ear.
You could kill him right now, you really could. You despised him, despised every last beautiful fiber of his being, despised the way that he’d broken you down and made you so goddamn weak.
Worst of all, you despised the fact that even now, as hatred and hurt and anger coursed like hot adrenaline through your veins, there was still a tiny part of you that cared about him, more than you’d ever cared for anyone else in your life.
Right now, though, all you could focus on was the mind-blowing ecstasy taking over your body, blending seamlessly with the pain of his brutal thrusting.
Pressing his chest flush against yours, he began impaling you with sharp upwards motions, his cock reaching the deepest parts of you that your own fingers never could. Your jaw unhinged as his firm stomach rubbed ruthlessly against your clit, almost to the point where it was too much, and with a sort of vengeance you craned your neck forward and sank your teeth into his shoulder.
“Fuck- I’m-“ you choked out, just as the coil in your stomach abruptly snapped. You came, perhaps harder than you’d ever cum before, swollen lips parted wide despite no noise coming out. You fell forward limply, laying your cheek against the sweat-soaked fabric covering his shoulder, barely breathing as he continued fucking into you with little mercy.
The pads of his fingers clutched your throat with added pressure and you felt his cock twitch; with a grunt, he came, spilling his hot, sticky load deep inside.
“It must feel pathetic knowing that the one person who can make you cum the hardest is the one person you hate the most,” he said as he pulled out, stepping back to see the way his cum dribbled crudely down your inner thighs.
He dipped his fingertips into the cum, smearing it around to the front of your leg, lips twitching mockingly as he further defiled you. Pussy aching as you fought to catch your breath, you watched him with sunken, empty eyes.
“Just so we’re clear,” he sneered, lifting his unforgiving eyes to meet yours. “This is all you ever meant to me.”
His words felt like a punch to your gut, but there was no way you could let him see the way they’d affected you. You bent down to pick up your underwear before pushing Michael to the side, walking around his towering frame to start up the stairs. Then, as if his words were a mere afterthought to you, you paused mid-step, turning over your shoulder in a manner that you hoped seemed nonchalant.
“Good. I’m glad we’re on the same page.”
ii.
It was the first time you and Michael had managed to avoid each other for an extended period of time, and although you missed the feel of his hot lips on your skin, missed his low voice in your ear as he whispered vulgar words that made you blush, missed his large, calloused hands wandering over your body like it was his very own territory to explore and conquer, you certainly didn’t miss all the other baggage that came with it.
During the obligatory family dinners, you and Michael would pretend that nothing had changed between the two of you, but the shift was impossible to ignore. Michael had ceased his usual playful teasing as he sat across from you, and his preferred means of communicating with you, if he absolutely had to, became grunting at varying octaves.
Your parents had definitely noticed, their concerned expressions far from discreet, but they were wise enough not to mention it to either of you.
You supposed things were better off this way. It was unrealistic to go through life fucking around (and going out on shitty Applebee’s dates) with your stepbrother. There was no way that it could have ever worked out anyway.
It’s better off this way, you’d think to yourself, sitting in your bedroom and staring the ceiling as you’d listen, against your better judgment, to Michael giggling with random girls across the hall.
It never would’ve worked, you’d reminded yourself sternly as you returned Michael’s sweet-smelling sweatshirts to his bedroom when he was out one night.
It never meant anything anyway, you’d tell yourself, headphones flooding with the psychedelic chords of Pink Floyd, molars working at a wad of cinnamon gum. I was nothing to him. He said it himself.
But Michael Langdon said a lot of things.
You tried your best to move on with your Michael-less life, and soon enough, as surprising as it was to you, you wound up finding yourself a boyfriend- a cute jock who sat behind you in your math class. The best part was that he wasn’t friends with Michael, despite his modest popularity; Michael had always been vocal about his hatred towards jocks (Fucking circle-jerking dickheads, he’d call them), and so he’d never bothered to associate with his crowd.
Michael had been less than welcoming to him the first night you’d brought him home to meet your family, shooting him an unfriendly, thin-lipped smile from across the dinner table.
“So you play football?” Miriam had asked conversationally over a forkful of baked potato.
“Yep! Receiver,” he said. You nodded encouragingly, even though you had no idea what that meant.
“So you like playing with balls?” said Michael suddenly, eyes widened as a cruel smirk stretched across his lips.
Your father nearly choked on his water.
“Michael,” you hissed. Your boyfriend let out a nervous laugh, clearing his throat as he lifted his glass of water to his mouth. Michael blinked at you innocently, moving his food around on his plate with his fork as he leaned forward to rest his elbow on the table.
This was probably the most eye contact you’d had with him all month.
Later that night, after your boyfriend left, Michael made an appearance in your doorway for the first time since his awkward post-party apology. You couldn’t believe how long ago it all felt, even though it’d only been a couple of months. Things were just so different now.
“Hey, (y/n),” he said with a bit too much nonchalance for somebody who’d been ignoring your existence up until that very moment.
“Um… hey?”
“Congrats on getting a boyfriend and everything. Didn’t think I’d ever see the day,” he mused, leaning his broad shoulder against the doorway and jutting out his hip. Now that you were in a relationship, it was imperative that you didn’t check out other guys (especially when ‘other guys’ referred to your stepbrother), so you tried your hardest not to look anywhere but Michael’s glinting blue eyes.
You cocked an eyebrow. “So… you’re here to make fun of me? Is that it?”
“No. I’m actually being serious. I mean, the dude’s a fucking dork, but if my little sis is happy, I’m happy.” He shrugged casually, flashing his teeth in a cool half-smile.
What the fuck was going on right now? What were you even supposed to say to that?
“Okay?” you said undecidedly after a brief pause.
He cleared his throat, and you could tell there was something else he wanted to say lingering at the back of his tongue. Maybe he hadn’t come here merely to poke fun at you, after all.
“So. Um…why are you here?” You leaned forward, drumming your fingers on your bent knees, the bedsprings squeaking beneath you as you shifted.
“Well, I just thought- I mean, I don’t know,” he said, his tone no longer mocking, but rather low and earnest. “I just want you to know that you deserve a lot better than me. So I just hope this guy makes you happy, even though he’s a circle-jerking jock.”
You blinked, waiting for the punchline, before you realized that there was none. He was being serious. He was being fucking serious.
As much as you knew that Michael had a track record of saying nice things before immediately reverting back to his asshole tendencies, the sentiment made your heart swell.
Michael was looking at the floor now, chewing the inside of his cheek anxiously, his body fidgeting slightly as he awaited your response. Part of you wanted to tell him to fuck off and leave you alone, knowing that this probably all was bullshit, that there was no way he really meant any of this. Michael had made it pretty fucking clear that he’d never given a shit about you, and that he never would.
Hadn’t he?
The other part of you- the naive, stupid, foolish part that always managed to ignore all logic- said otherwise. Somewhere, deep down inside, you were still hanging onto the feeble thread of hope that maybe he really did care about you, and that maybe he always had.
Maybe, in some twisted way, he’d been trying, by treating you poorly, to protect himself.
You looked at your hands. It was probably all just wishful thinking.
“Thanks, Michael. I appreciate it,” you said, attempting to keep your voice as steady as possible.
You were hit with a sudden wave of melancholy, and all at once you wanted nothing more than to fall into Michael’s arms, feel yourself get swallowed up in his warmth. God, if only things had been different. If only he’d been different.
“I don’t really expect you to believe me or anything, but I thought I should tell you anyway.” He met your gaze, an unreadable expression fixed on his perfect face, and as much as you wanted to, you couldn’t look away. “Anyway… g’night, (y/n).”
You took in a shuddery breath.
“Good night, Michael.”
iii.
It only took a couple more weeks to find out that your boyfriend had been cheating on you for the entirety of your short-lived relationship, and it was safe to say that you were not pleased.
You felt completely humiliated; at least with Michael, he’d never made any attempt to disguise his fuckboy ways. Your (now ex) boyfriend, though, had gone out of his way to make you believe that he was a nice guy.
And stupidly, you’d allowed him to fool you.
The relationship hadn’t been anything special, but you’d gotten along fine, and you’d liked him enough. Maybe that’d been the problem in the first place: sure, you liked him, in noncommittal half-shrug sort of way, but there hadn’t been any intensity there, no passion.
It’d come to the surface early on that neither of you had much in common, either, and he wasn’t exactly the most interesting person to talk to. Still, you’d stayed, thinking that maybe this was just what all high school relationships were like, and that at least he wasn’t as much of an asshole as Michael.
Well, at least Michael hadn’t lied to your face, making empty commitments before fucking some other girl’s brains out behind your back.
It wasn’t even the relationship you were mourning the loss of; it was your dignity.
You recalled all the times he’d roll off of you after a ten-minute-long session of halfhearted missionary sex, turning onto his side to check his phone with his back to you. Had he been texting other girls then? While you laid there naked and unsatisfied, but loyal, withholding yourself from other boys because you’d been under the impression that the two of you were exclusive?
You felt pathetic, you felt stupid, you felt used. You supposed that maybe you should’ve felt the same way with Michael, but somehow, in your mind, the situations just didn’t compare.
And god, you didn’t even want to think about Michael. He’d never let you hear the end of this, you were sure.
After the peculiar encounter with him weeks earlier, things had become quite amicable between the two of you: there was undoubtedly a great deal of tension there, but it was obvious that Michael was putting in an effort to be nice, or at least civil to you.
Still, he had his moments. He was not very good at hiding his distaste for your boyfriend, cracking the occasional joke (usually football-related: your boyfriend really likes being tackled by other men, huh? was one of his favorites) whenever his name was brought up.
That hadn’t really bothered you much, though. You were just glad that things weren’t quite as bad as they had been before, and it wasn’t long before your anger from the night of the Applebee’s date had begun to fade away.
You knew damn well, though, that he was going to be delighted at the news that you’d broken up; you could already hear his inevitable mocking ringing in the back of your mind.
And perhaps you deserved to be mocked. Sometimes you were astounded by your own foolishness and naivety.
You’d be okay- this was a part of life, a growing experience. But goddamn did it suck, being fucked over; you were damn near close to swearing off all men for good.
Well, maybe not all men…you found yourself thinking, as images of a certain blue-eyed fuckboy danced in your vision.
NO. Shut up, (y/n), you absolute fucking idiot, was your following thought.
Jesus fucking Christ- you’d said it a hundred million times before, and you’d say it again: what the fuck was wrong with you?
You were starting to think you’d never learn.
iv.
“Hey, dickhead!”
The unexpected shout startled your lunch table, sending everyone’s attention to the source of the noise across the cafeteria. It had been precisely forty-eight hours since your breakup, and you were already starting to feel somewhat better about it.
You craned your neck as commotion began to stir somewhere in the enormous fluorescent-lit room, curious to see what exactly was going on; when you saw who had spoken, however, your heart almost stopped dead in your chest.
“Isn’t that your brother, (y/n)?” said one of your friends without looking over to you.
And indeed it was; a small crowd had formed around him as he approached your ex-boyfriend, who was holding a lunch tray in front of him, face laced with confusion and slight fear. Michael’s stance was imposing, jaw clenched and hands balled into fists, and you could tell that things were not about to turn out well for your ex.
Holy fucking shit.
“And isn’t that-“ said another one of your friends, clearly invested with the scene that was currently unfolding. Just from a quick glance around the room, it was evident that the rest of the crowded cafeteria was pretty interested, too.
“Oh my god…” you muttered, lifting your hand to your mouth in disbelief.
You hadn’t expected this from Michael. When you’d finally, reluctantly, broken the news to him about your breakup, he’d almost seemed unaffected, offering you a weak-at-best consolation consisting of an awkward pat on your back.
Apparently, he wasn’t as apathetic to the situation as he’d let on.
“You think you can fuck with my little sister?” Michael demanded, lunging forward to grip onto the front of your ex’s shirt. The entire room had gone mostly silent at this point, amplifying Michael’s voice, and you felt your face grow warm with embarrassment.
On one hand, you knew the appropriate response was to jump to your feet and insert yourself between them, insisting that violence wouldn’t solve anything- that’s what would happen if this was a teen movie, at least.
On the other hand, though… the thought of Michael pummeling your scumbag ex in front of the whole school wasn’t exactly a bad one.
“W-what are you talking about, man?” stuttered your ex-boyfriend, his face going bright red as Michael leaned in to get up in his face. Michael had several inches on the boy, and he looked absolutely, dangerously livid, so you couldn’t blame him for being intimidated.
“You know what the fuck I’m talking about, dipshit.” Michael pulled forcibly at the fabric in his fist, jerking the shorter boy upwards and almost causing him to drop his tray.
“Woah, woah, take it easy, man-“
“-Shut the fuck up.” He let go of the boy’s shirt, dropping his hands so they were positioned under his tray. Then, without warning, he thrust the tray upwards, coating the front of your ex’s shirt in school-lunch spaghetti and steaming hot soup. There was an eruption of laughter from a group of boys you recognized as Michael’s friends, and he smirked.
“You ever come near her again and I’ll make your life a living hell, you understand me?”
Holy fuck, was Michael scary when he wanted to be. Your ex was practically trembling, his shirt ruined. “Y-yes, I understand you.”
“Good. Now get the fuck out of my face.” He gave your ex-boyfriend a hard shove for good measure, sending him stumbling backwards, before returning to his friends and walking off as if nothing had happened.
Once your friends were sure that the show was over, they turned back to you. “Oh my god. You didn’t tell us he was the protective type,” said one.
“I didn’t think he was,” you said softly, still dumbfounded by what you’d just witnessed.
“That was like…kind of hot,” another one of your friends said, to which the group nodded in unanimous agreement. “Has anyone ever told you that your brother is, like, really hot?”
“Step brother,” you corrected.
v.
It was a little past 8:30 that night when you made your way across the hall to Michael’s room, preparing to thank him for doing what he’d done earlier in the day. It was only appropriate, you thought.
You had no idea why he’d done it, but then again, when did you ever know why Michael did the things he did? By now, you’d simply have to accept that Michael Langdon was one big walking mystery, and that you’d never truly understand him.
Knocking on the door timidly, you waited for the faint come in before you went in, your eyes instantly bombarded by the ever-changing colors of his lamp. Michael sat at his desk, laptop opened in front of him as he sat fixated on some computer game (you assumed it was fortnite, though you honestly couldn’t tell the difference between any of the games he played), enormous headphones pulled over his ears. He didn’t turn as you approached, your eyes darting throughout the room as you considered what you were going to say.
“Hey, Michael,” you said shyly. Why the hell were you so nervous?
He still didn’t move, eyes locked on the bright screen of his laptop, fingers jabbing erratically at his keyboard. “What’s up?”
“Could you, like, pause that or whatever? Just for a second?” you said, tone pitching in annoyance at his lack of interest. You’d come close enough that you could see the side of his face, illuminated by his game, and he rolled his eyes.
“You can’t just pause a fortnite game, (y/n),” he said irritably, as if this were the most well-known fact in the world. “But I just died anyway, so. Go ahead.”
He pulled his headphones down so they could rest around his neck, twisting around in his seat to look at you. He looked unbelievably handsome right now, even in the dim light, and you couldn’t help but take a moment to admire him.
“You know, uh, you didn’t have to do all that today,” you started, rocking back onto your heels. “But thank you.”
Your words were met with a blank stare. “Do what?”
Oh, for the love of god. He couldn’t be serious, could he?
“Like, confront my ex and everything. I mean, I really couldn’t believe it. But I thought it was really sweet of you.”
His expression hardly shifted, but you noticed his lips curling up ever-so-slightly at one corner. “Oh, that? I mean, it wasn’t really a big deal or anything. He sort of had it coming anyway. Fuckin’ circle-jerker.”
You laughed. That response was so typically Michael, and you loved it.
“I’ve really been feeling like shit about the breakup, and that honestly made me feel a lot better.”
“Aw, c’mon. Don’t sit around feeling bad about that dork,” said Michael with a grin. You saw something in his eyes sparkle, and then he was leaning forward, a familiar, mischievous look crossing his face.
Oh, how you’d missed that look.
“You wanna c’mere and talk about it with your big bro?” he said, patting his knees. You bit your lip, unsure of what exactly he was planning, but more than eager to find out. You came closer, watching him push his desk chair a few inches back so there was more room for you, and slowly, you settled yourself down on his lap.
The instant you made contact with his warm body, you were flooded with arousal, which was only intensified when he positioned his veined hands on your hips. He pulled you back so your ass was directly on top of his crotch, spine up against his firm chest, and you shivered at the feeling of his erection pressing into you through his sweatpants.
“Mm,” he hummed, wrapping his strong arms around your torso, loose waves softly caressing your neck when he settled his chin on your shoulder. “My baby sis is so pretty.”
He pressed his lips against your neck, fingertips trailing up your inner thighs, bare under the skirt you wore. You whimpered softly when he reached your clothed cunt, rubbing soft circles over your clit as he continued to plant kisses up and down the side of your neck.
“Let me help you forget allll about him,” he breathed, and you could smell the cigarettes and cinnamon gum on his breath, just like always. You rolled your hips back against his cock, one of his large hands lifting to grope your breast through your shirt. “I bet he didn’t touch you like I do.”
“H-he didn’t,” you murmured, eyes fluttering blissfully as his large hands wandered aimlessly over your body, claiming you. You jumped slightly when he administered a particularly hard squeeze to your breast, making him chuckle lowly against your skin.
“Take these off,” he said, pulling the waistband of your underwear back and letting it snap against your pelvis.
You raised your eyebrows but complied, standing momentarily so you could work your panties down your legs and kick them haphazardly to the side.
As you did this, Michael reached down to pull his hard cock from his sweatpants, applying a few strokes to the thick length as he waited for you to return. Your mouth watered at the sight of him; you’d almost forgotten how big he was, and after consistently fucking a boy who was significantly smaller for the past few months, you feared that being penetrated by Michael again would be painful.
“You miss this, baby?” asked Michael, rubbing his thumb over his leaking slit. You nodded quickly, hurrying back over to Michael’s lap. He took hold of his headphones, and you furrowed your brows inquisitively as he secured them back over his ears.
“What are you-“
“-Shhh, baby. Just c’mere.” Taking your wrist, he guided you back into your previous position, and you parted your thighs to straddle his lap. Grabbing onto your hips lightly, he eased you back so that the head of his cock nestled just barely against your slick opening, your heart rate increasing at the sensation. “Just want you to sit here with me while I play my game. Do you think you can do that for me, hm?”
In that moment, you probably would’ve agreed to do anything for him.
Michael pulled you down, impaling you slowly with his thick length, your mouth falling open as you felt his cock stretching out your tight walls. A throaty moan spilled from your throat as he glided deeper into your wet heat, continuing until he was seated all the way inside; you wiggled in slight discomfort, but you were calmed down when Michael placed his chin on your shoulder.
“It’s okay, baby. I know you haven’t been stretched like this in a while. But I’ll take care of you, I promise,” he cooed into your ear, his disposition so much more tender than you were used to. He kissed your neck again, scooting the chair closer to the computer screen, in turn stirring you and making you whine.
“Just stay still, okay, baby? Can you do that for me?”
“M-mhm,” you rasped, your chest rising and falling as you tried to get yourself situated.
“Good girl.”
Your cunt clenched instinctively at this praise, earning a barely-audible hiss from Michael; he reached around your body to get to his keyboard, starting a new game and subtly rocking his hips from side to side in anticipation as he waited for it to load. At this, your hand flew to your mouth to stifle your gasp.
Shutting your eyes, you focused on doing as Michael had instructed. It wasn’t easy, your cunt spasming around his thick length, clit throbbing, desperate for relief that he wasn’t yet granting you.
Of course he knew exactly what he was doing. Even as he played his game, tongue poking out from the corner of his plump lips in concentration, you could hear low growls from the back of his throat, just from the feeling of your tight walls wrapped snugly around him.
To Michael, it was too easy to simply give you what you wanted, even when he wanted it just as much as you did. He lived to see you desperate, to see you willing to be entirely at his mercy.
He leaned forward, his chest warm against your back, blond curls caressing your cheek. He chewed on his lower lip, the game reflecting in his shining eyes, so entranced that it almost seemed like he’d forgotten about you altogether.
“Fuck,” he exclaimed as a pixelated character began shooting at him, his hips jerking upwards as his fingers worked tirelessly at his keyboard, “fucking asshole.”
You whimpered, biting the inside of your cheek to silence yourself, but Michael had already noticed; instead of scolding you, like you’d half expected, he kissed your neck softly, eyes never leaving his screen. “Shh, shh. It’s okay.”
Your muscles relaxed almost embarrassingly quickly at the soothing sound of Michael’s voice, eyes falling closed as he placed another open-mouthed kiss right by your jugular.
“Such a good girl. So obedient for me. You’ll do anything to make your big brother happy, hm?”
The almost condescending nature of his words aroused you far more than you cared to admit, and you squirmed again, aching for something- anything more.
“Hm?” he repeated, pushing his hips up under you with enough force to make you squeal.
“Y-yes, Michael,” you whispered, wrapping your fingers around Michael’s forearm, which was extended to his laptop. This was getting to be too much. “Please.”
“I know, baby. Just hang on a little longer. I know it’s a lot. Just stay still and try to keep quiet for me, ‘kay? You’re doing so good.” His voice was deep and intoxicatingly sweet, vibrating against your skin from his close proximity.
You bobbed your head up and down, sure that at this point you must be leaking all over Michael’s cock, but he didn’t seem to care. His chin still on your shoulder, the fresh scent of his shampoo invading your senses, he continued to play his game with squinted eyes; you sighed, wishing that some other player would just come and kill him already so he could revert his attention back to you.
This kept on for several minutes, your desperation increasing until it was almost unbearable, tears stinging the backs of your eyes with each small movement of Michael’s body.
God, his cock was so deep inside you, filling you up completely; there wasn’t even an inch of space between the two of you, and yet still you wanted more, wanted him to consume you. You were going insane right now, unable to think of anything but how badly you needed to be pounded, fucked into a state of mindless bliss, and it was all thanks to the gorgeous blond-haired boy beneath you.
Fucking dick, you thought affectionately, rolling your hips back with a lengthy moan.
“Stop moving,” he warned, tilting his head to tug at your earlobe with his teeth.
“Please, Mikey…”
He scoffed at the nickname, but you could tell he was slowly losing his control, his own lust starting to sway him. You inhaled sharply, the muscles of your core contracting to squeeze even tighter around Michael’s length; from the corner of your eye, you saw his jaw clench. Ever-so-slightly, you lifted up your hips, before sliding all the way back down with ease.
“Did I not just tell you to stay still?” he demanded hoarsely. He was losing his patience now, along with his self-control, and you couldn’t help but smirk.
“I didn’t move,” you said.
“Yes, you fucking did,” he said through grit teeth, abandoning his previous, kinder attitude. This was more of the Michael you were used to, but you’d be lying if you said you hadn’t enjoyed his praise from earlier.
“I’m sorry, Mikey. I just can’t resist getting split on your cock.”
Where this had come from, you had no idea; you’d simply been trying to provoke him, catch his attention. And, from the way he turned his head sharply to look at you, mouth pulled taut into a thin line, you could see that referencing his words from months earlier had done the job.
It was obvious, then, that he no longer gave a shit about his game. 
Lunging forward, his cock still buried inside you, he slammed his laptop shut before jerking you to your feet, pulling himself from you in the process. He pushed you forward, bending you over his desk with such aggression that several objects were knocked over with a loud clatter, and excitedly you propped yourself up on your elbows.
Holding up your skirt with one hand, he lined the head of his cock up with your dripping entrance with haste; mewling softly, you bucked your hips impatiently towards him, eager to finally, finally get what you’d been craving.
“Fucking brat,” he mumbled, pushing into your heat until his balls slapped against your thighs. “I bet this was all you could think about every time you let him put his dick inside you.”
He pulled his hips back before forcefully slamming back into your wet cunt, fingers clutching your hips with a bruising, vice-like hold. He decided upon an intense, ruthless rhythm to fuck you with, the vulgar sound of slapping skin obscured only by your broken cries.
“Oh god— fuck—please…more.”
Your arousal was dripping down your inner thighs, so abundant that Michael was able to pound in and out of you with stunning ease, your stomach cutting into the blunt edge of the desk with each thrust.
“Always take my cock so fucking well,” he grunted, fucking you for all he was worth, hips sloppily snapping back and forth as he worked your pussy open. You weren’t going to last long- he’d already gotten you worked up, and now you were merely chasing your release; by the gruff, fucked-out noises passing Michael’s spit-glossed lips, it was clear that he wasn’t going to last long, either. “God, I fucking missed you.”
Had you not been halfway to an orgasm, you probably would’ve perked up at his words; he’d missed you? Michael Langdon was admitting that he’d missed you?
The words had come out all at once, like he’d blurted them without thought in the midst of his mind-numbing pleasure; you were sure he was kicking himself for having allowed himself to say something so vulnerable to you, but it was too late- he couldn’t swallow his words back up, as much as you were sure he wanted to.
You smiled a heavy-lidded, lust-drunk smile. Michael Langdon had missed you.
Hooking his arm underneath you, he began forming tight circles over your swollen bud with his fingertips, and within seconds you were nearing your climax. Only Michael could touch you like this, make you euphoric like this. Only Michael could make you give yourself over, body and mind and soul, over and over again until the end of time.
“Oh fuck, Michael, please—“ you panted, and his fingers sped up against your clit, forming shapes over the bundle of nerves until your legs grew weak.
He gave one final thrust into your heat, slamming against your cervix and making contact with your sensitive inner walls, and then you were cumming, hard, his thick load spilling inside you at the same time, making you his.
His. You were his.
“Did you really miss me, Michael?” you asked between ragged breaths, voice small, not worrying whether or not you sounded needy or pathetic.
He leaned down, his upper body flat against your back, brushing your (h/c) hair away from your shoulder and pressing his lips against your jaw. “Yeah. I really did.”
“Good, because I missed you too,” you said, giggling weakly. He turned you around, allowing you to partially lie back on his desk as he met his bitten-red lips with yours, the salt of his sweat ripe on your tastebuds. The kiss was short-lived, but passionate, and you found yourself pouting when he pulled away, a silvery string of saliva stretching crudely between your flushed faces.
You swore you could see stars in his eyes as he surveyed your face, twinkling brightly in the pink lighting of his bedroom.
“I’m never gonna let you slip away from me again,” he said. “I promise.”

Bucky’s Journal - Love
For once I can’t sleep and it’s not because of something horrible. I’m just happy. 
It’s been a year since she slept in my bed that first night and never left. A whole year. 
Never thought this could happen, didn’t even think about love or happiness when I decided to keep living—to fight back. Too hard to think about those kinds of things because they seemed so impossible. But here she is, still in my bed, sound asleep and happy. Or at least I hope she’s happy. I think she is. 
This morning I made her breakfast, like the first morning we spent together. Y/N hadn’t realized the day, didn’t expect her to. I wrote in another journal the date so I’d remember (like I do everything haha). She had that smile on her face that scrunches her eyes, and her hair was all over the place from sleep. She was radiant--she’d roll her eyes if she knew I wrote that. It’s true though. 
I suspected it for a long while but now I think I really know that I’ve never felt this way for someone before. Sure there were dames I liked, I remember some of ‘em. Good women, a few I even wondered about marrying--wouldda made Ma happy to see that. But none of ‘em came close to Y/N. Maybe it’s everything we’ve been through but I just don’t think it’s only that. There’s a spark in her. She’s different. 
And goddamn she’s mine.
Bucky’s Journal - Present
Mr. G has been on the up and up. Says the fall always makes him feel like a new man even if it makes his bones ache. Wonder if I’ll ever be an old man with achy bones. 
Y/N watched the shop and he and I went for a stroll in the park close by. He had his little motorized scooter, even though he hates the thing said he’d feel bad not using it after his daughter got it for him. 
Told me in his old age he’s realized something he wished he knew when he was young, I’ll try to get it down just as he said it.
“Life is just a series of brief moments, happiness, joy, pain. We look at everything like a big portrait but it’s the moments that matter, in the end. We only have each thing for a moment. I wish I’d known that. I would have paid closer attention to the good moments and let the bad ones rest.”
He looked so tired after that, like the bad ones were winning out in the battle for his attention. I wanted to tell him I knew, understood what it was like to have so many bad ones that it’s hard to focus on the good but he thinks I’m young enough to be his grandson. Seems strange to say I understood. 
But he’s right. All these journals all this time spent just trying to catch even a fraction of a moment I’d forgotten. Piecing myself back together with them, bringing myself back to life with nothing but moments. I know how valuable they are, but the bad ones they matter too, can’t let them rest. 
Bucky’s Journal - Future
I wonder what our future could be. It’s hard to imagine too far ahead. Just not knowing what may be right around the next corner. It makes it hard. But she wanted me to think about the future when she gave me this. Maybe she meant just mine but there isn’t a future for me without her in it. 
I just wish I could get an idea of what that would look like?
If this was 1945 I know exactly what I’d want. I’d marry this woman in a heartbeat. Take her dancing, maybe at that real swell place in Harlem--bet that’s long gone. Go to the pictures with Steve and Peggy—they would have been good together if they had a chance. (Hope he’s found someone.) Maybe try to get us a brownstone, always wanted one. Fill it with a couple of babies. A little girl with all her momma’s moxie and those bouncy curls—a little girl with enough backbone to make her aunt Jo proud and me worried. 
But that doesn’t matter. Can’t have what doesn’t exist. 
When I think about the future now all I see is uncertainty. Only thing I know I want is her to be safe and happy—no matter what that means.. I’m thinking the first step is to move on from here. Been here too long, longer than I planned. I just don’t know how to tell her, don’t want her to feel like she’s losing another home. 
Bucky’s Journal - Love
I fell in love with her again today. Is that possible? 
She was baking (scones and biscuits, they’re some of the best things I’ve ever eaten I swear) wearing nothing but one of my tees—it had flower dusted on it but she didn’t care. Her headphones were in, listening to something she clearly liked a lot 'cause she was bouncing around the kitchen, curls spinning, body floating up from time to time, mouth moving to the lyrics, just smiling. That spark, my god it was just brighter than I’ve ever seen it. I think this must’ve been what she was like before—bold and confident and happy. 
I almost got up and grabbed her, wanted to kiss her so bad but I just couldn’t. My mouth was dry and my right palm felt sweaty. Felt like a nervous kid just gawking at her. So I just let the moment play on until she noticed me. Took a while thankfully, she was so caught up. 
When she kissed me she tasted like coffee and some of the dark chocolate chips she’d snuck while baking. She almost always tastes like coffee. Fuck, I love it. 
This is one of those good moments. There are so many with her. But the more I have the more I know that a million moments won’t be enough. 
Bucky’s Journal - Future
I finally told her.
Almost a year and a half in one place is too long. For now anyway. One day, hopefully, we can find a place to stay. To make a home. 
I laid out that the longer we stay the easier it is for someone to identify us—didn’t say I really just meant me. Even with her record I have no doubt there are more people sniffing for me than her.  
She’s reluctant to leave Mr. G. He’s back to his old self pretty much though. They have his condition stable and his kids are checking in more often. I haven’t met them, best to not, but she says they’re good people. Makes sense given who raised ‘em. 
Ultimately, though she said home was where I was, she didn’t care where we went. I don’t know how I became such a lucky bastard.
I’ll figure out where will be best, safest. Or safer anyway. 
Bucky’s Journal - Present
This woman. This incredible woman. 
I’m sure she’s sick of me by now but I can’t stop telling her how goddamn amazing she is. 
Yesterday we were heading back from the market and this piece of shit left arm just went ape shit. Couldn’t move it beyond weird twitching it was doin’ on its own and the pain. Fuck I thought I was gonna die, truly, thought it would stop my heart. Dropped everything I was carrying and doubled over. 
If she was panicked I never noticed. It’s kinda fuzzy but she got me behind a building away from people and used her gift to try to figure out what was happening. I know I didn’t make it easy judging by how torn up my shirt and hoodie were, must’ve clawed at them—done that in the past I remember, tried to claw the damn thing off. But she found something loose that seemed off, shoved her belt between my teeth for me to bite down on and fixed it. Just like that. 
Nearly passed out. Honestly not sure how she got me home exactly but when my head cleared she was wrapping my shoulder in hot towels—the muscles still hurt from the tension but would be worse if not for her. 
I don’t know what I did right to deserve this one. But I’m grateful. 
Y/N’s First Journal Entry
Bucky suggested I start this, said writing helps for the things you can’t find the words for. Maybe he’s right. I haven’t had a journal since I was 17. Keeping one when I was with mom was too risky and even after I didn’t want to write down things, it was like writing it made it real. And I just didn’t see the point.
Still feels like writing this down will make it too real. But I just can’t--I don’t want it to be real ya know? I can’t say this out loud either though ‘cuz if I do I think that’ll do me in, I’ll break and idk if I’ll get it back together. I can’t do that. I need to be solid for Mr. G for Buck too. 
He’s dying. Mr. Goldstein that is. Fuck. It just… I’m just tired of losing people. I know he’s lived a long full life but I’m selfish I’m not ready and I just. Can’t. 
This isn’t helping. 
Bucky’s Journal - Present
She begged me for more time. She didn’t have to. I feel bad that she thinks she did. Leaving now wouldn’t be right, not after everything Mr. G has done for us both. Wouldn’t even dream of it. 
She’s looking after the shop, I’ve been spending most days there too. Sure she thinks it’s just to be close to her which is nice but I think we both feel closer to him there. I try to avoid the hospital, don’t want too much face to face with his kids—too risky—but I’ve made it by a few times. He’s still him but he seems… smaller maybe? 
I feel guilty. Hearing about his kids from Y/N and just seeing him. Kinda glad I didn’t have to watch my own Ma and Pa go but that means the girls went through this without me and I — well I just never thought about it. Should have. 
New Years was last week. It wasn’t a happy one but we were together—sometimes that’s all we can hope for. 
Thought I knew what the future would be but now… just can’t tell. 
Y/N’s Journal
He’s gone. 
He knew it would be soon and asked Bucky and I to come by. He said he didn’t want us to be there at the end but wanted to remind us to take care of one another and that we’d made this last stretch a damn good one. Said this wasn’t goodbye, in fact he said he wouldn’t hear it. He’d see us later. 
He’ll never know. I hate that he’ll never know. Not who I really am not what he’s done for me for both of us all this time. I hate it. I hate that he’s not going to come in here today with a pretzel and coffee not gonna sit on his stool with Victor. Hate that he’s gone. 
I don’t even know why I’m writing this. Other than my mouth just doesn’t want to work.
Feel like we’re both just stuck in our grief. Not withdrawing though. No. Just hard to put this into words. Out loud. 
I suppose I should be grateful, happy this sweet old man took two weird people in without question. Not a damn word when I went from looking like a boy to clearly presenting more as a woman. Never cared. Just cared that we were ok. 
I am grateful. 
I just wasn’t ready. 
His kids are closing the shop. Makes sense. They’ll take care of Victor too because we said we couldn’t. This is my last day in this shop. 
I’m so tired of losing people.
But I’ve got Bucky. He makes me wonder if there isn’t some kind of god out there, maybe trying to make up for shitting the bed by giving me him—giving us each other. I know he’s hurting too but he seems so unshakable. I’m lucky to get to love him. I just have to focus on that right now. We have a future to look forward to and a promise to keep to Mr. Goldstein—to take care of one another. 
That’s a promise I swear I will never break.

🤗 given the chance I would gladly hug you
on god!!!! ;___; i think i would frfr dissolve if a got a Ruth-Certified hug, things have been so overwhelming lately
💙 you are my closest friend
the feeling is mutual!! <3 we don’t always get to talk often, but fhdhshg when we do we talk about like All of the Madness in Sarah’s Mind^tm, and you are so patient + tolerant of my incoherent ramblings which is something i don’t think i’ve ever fully experienced? anyhow, after a year (more than a year?) of having these kinds of convos and going through the general madness of life together, I totally agree ;w;
💘 I love you so much
i love you too!!! so so much!!! 💃🕺 i don’t think words will ever be able to express how much i love and appreciate you! 💜��
🍀 i’m lucky to have met you
i know we talk about this often, but seriously i feel the same way! it’s a little crazy that we met, technically, because Joseph Joestar tm deserved more than to be a cheater... there is something hilarious about this wild friendship rooting from him!! of all jojos!! 🤢 but i’m so grateful that we met, it’s been such a wonderful ride ;w; <3

now buckle in bro!!!! the essays are incoming!!!
5. Name a movie that makes you genuinely laugh.
i swear on my life the Mortal Kombat movie from 1995 is a national treasure, it is SUCH a solid movie and has so many funny moments. Robin Shou makes such a 🥺🥺 Liu Kang, and jesus fuck he can be so savage when the script calls for it!! there’s one part where he takes Johnny Cage’s luggage and straight up fucking chucks it into the ocean + then bullies him about it later! honestly the Ballad of Johnny Cage and His Luggage is one of my favorite parts from the movie <3 if you haven’t seen it + you like cheesy, old school movies, i really recommend it!!!
11. Describe the memory of the last time you felt true happiness.
So I can’t remember the last time I did, bc my memory is horrifically terrible + probably getting worse as time goes on?? but i will tell you about one of the more recent times I remember! :D There is one crucial expository note for this memory- my brother-in-law makes THE best chili in the entire world. my brother and I were trying to recreate it because it’s such a simple but delicious + filling meal- I think this was our first time trying to create it? and it was SO chaotic, the tomato sauce and stuff kept popping and burning me and we weren’t 100% certain that we’d gathered the right ratios for the ingredients and it was just. madness lmao. Chance’s chili is one that you leave alone for multiple hours at a time (I think this is the case for all chili but i don’t cook often enough to know ;__;), and we were kinda 👀👀👀 because we weren’t sure it’d turn out right? But it did!!!! I vividly remember when it was finished and we taste-tested it + went oOOH FUCK! it wasn’t quite the same as chance’s but ohhh my god it was so good 🥰🥰🥰 but yeah!! we ate it all up and I think this was around the time I started my playthrough of Esteban for Dragon Age 2? which was one of my favorite playthroughs for the entire franchise... he’s just a simple ig beard model mage ;w; i wanted to show you what he looked like in this post but the formatting went wonky so ig i’ll just post him separately?? it’s 1000% in-character for him to infiltrate my jojo blog 😔
12. Name a song that makes you feel ethereal.
hm...I’d say it’s between Forget About or Feet of Clay! They’re both such light and tenderhearted songs, and when I listen to them I feel like I’m in an apartment kitchen slow-dancing with a love, and it’s so dark except for the slowly rising sun. I don’t know if that feeling could be described as ethereal? but it’s close enough for me
17. What is something you own that is important to you? What makes it so important?
I have a small collection of scripts from the shows I’ve been in, and two of the most important ones are from the plays my high school put on during my sophomore and junior years, The Nit-Wits and The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940, respectively! The Nit-Wits has a ton of sentimental value to me because it was the last show I genuinely acted in, and it was a show we had to pull together in 2 or 3 weeks!! We were originally going to do a murder mystery play for the fall, but none of the cast was feeling it and it just wasn’t going to come to life in time (honestly this speaks volumes for how much we weren’t vibing with it, because all of our shows came together at like.. the final dress rehearsals if not opening night lmao). I vividly remember we took a vote during rehearsals about whether or not to switch the show, and then we did and it was SO fun + chaotic!! My character was one of the only regular characters in the show, but I think everyone else had a lot of fun acting as actors who were hired to be maniacal, and that made acting off of them so fun! I remember there was also a night my friend Adonis almost tore the entire set down because he ran through a door and tripped over a set brace in his haste!! The Nit-Wits is hugely important because it was a really fresh acting experience for me, and again, my last time genuinely on the stage and not behind the scenes!
MCM is important to me because it was the first play I ever stage managed! I’d stage managed our musical the spring prior, but that was a huge undertaking and involved many different people and moving parts. Stage managing a play, at least at my high school, was a calmer and more intimate experience, and one I really enjoyed! Another huge reason I treasure MCM’s script is because it is one of the last shows I had with my friend I told you about- he was a senior. I have little notes and doodles from the cast and crew scattered throughout my book for this show, and I remember being so irritated by this because it meant I was losing space for stage directions, cues, and notes. Now, I’m super grateful to have these scribbles- it’s one of the only things I have left of him. 
On that note, relating to him, MCM is also the show which birthed my most horrific theater horror story!! During one of the performances, I guess he forgot his line?? idk. But he ended up jumping six pages ahead of where the current scene was (I knew this bc I was following along in my book backstage + was frantically trying to figure out where he’d gone), which threw the entire cast, who were all tragically onstage, way off-track. This resulted in the most frightening game of script ping-pong I’ve ever seen: he’d skipped six pages ahead, so Adonis ended up saying a line from two pages after the six-page skip, and somehow someone else went!! oh I have a response to that line! And then said something like 9 pages back! I think the lead actress tried to ground everyone back to the lines they were supposed to be saying, but she ended up just saying a lot of their lines? And one of those lines that was supposed to be said by someone else was supposed to cue a black-out that someone got murdered in, but my lighting techie was SO fucking lost (we were both huddled over the script next to the breaker trying to figure out WHERE the hell we were! i think i had a flashlight in my mouth so I could flip through the book with both hands and thus faster??), so ofc the lights stayed up! I remember getting through this scene being the most painstaking endeavor of my entire life, but thankfully intermission was right after it! We actually extended intermission because the cast needed a hot second to fuckign RESET for Act 2 bc sweet jesus that was so bizarre...Needless to say, after that show we never messed that scene up again + everyone who acted in the show became super anal about knowing their lines as the years went on. The Six Page Skip became a legendary part of our hs theater Canon (like biblical canon ;w; although I don’t think anyone’s talked about it since my class graduated) alongside the times one of our ensemble dudes had to break through the roof of the girl’s dressing room to retrieve the keys to the theater + i got stuck on stage!
20. What’s the sweetest thing someone has done for you?
I really had to wrack my brain to answer this one, as I’m generally not the person people do things for, you know? This answer goes wayyy back, to 8th grade :O but so! there is mild exposition for this- when I started middle school, I lived in North Carolina, but we moved to Florida right before 7th grade bc my grandma is ill. We lived with my uncle while we were looking for a house, so I went to the local middle school bc why wouldn’t I? but in November, we finally found a house + my mom was like....So... are you going to switch schools or...I’d struck up some really solid friendships in this time, so i was like Mom I’d Rather Die OAO. So, we struck up a deal that I’d get to stay at that school on a zone waiver + that she’d drive me to school everyday. Sometime closer to the end of eighth grade she was like, yeah so.. I can’t do this for high school, it’s too much gas- which was valid! I was really sad about it, but I sucked it up.
Anyhow, fast forward to the last day of eighth grade, which was perhaps the saddest day I’d lived up until that point, mostly bc I knew I was probably never going to see all my friends again. My best friend, who I was like hardcore v close to + the person I shared all my wacky AUs and OC’s and headcanons with, was waiting with me for my mom to come pick me up, and then!!! When my mom pulled into the school she suddenly whipped out this lengthy letter she’d written to me about how much she enjoyed my friendship and how grateful she was that we were able to have lunch together (lunch was.. tragically ;__; the only time we really saw each other that year), and that she would never forget me! And she’d drawn me a ton of fanart from all the things I was obsessed with back then!! it was so much so fast, but then my mom was yelling at me to get in the car and I had to go :(
We kept in touch through email freshman year + fake-dated bc a senior was stalking me? ;J; and then we went to Megacon together! but I became really heavily involved in choir and theater after that, and we just kind of drifted apart :( we do follow each other on ig tho! It’s insane to think about her and that letter because on GOD ruth, that was a thinly veiled love letter and I never like... wrote her anything back that was as worthy as what she wrote me. But, she’s doing really well in uni now, so I guess it’s all okay? idk! ; o ;
23. What’s your zodiac sign? Do you think you fit the general characteristics of that sign?
I’m a Cancer!! and also a metal dragon by the Chinese Zodiac, which I’ve always thought was pretty sick! :3 I am 10000% your stereotypical Cancer, super emotional and introspective + often prone to tears ;u; My mom always said that dragons are steadfast and loyal people, and I think this also applies to me, to a fault. I checked around some websites to see what characteristics were often applied to metal dragons specifically, and it seems they are pretty strong-willed, ambitious, and generous? I don’t know if you could call me strong-willed or ambitious, but it’s all good ig.
25. What’s a song that gives off good vibes anytime you listen to it?
Ohh man, I went in on this question for Shannon, but bc I was digging around my library for Jules, I actually found an old fave! This song is from one of my all-time favorite musicals, Once on This Island- it’s The Human Heart! This song is so sweet, and god between the writing for the orchestra + the writing for the ensemble, this song is a straight masterpiece <3 I love love love the line, “Through your love you’ll live forever”, and although I am Hardcore Terrified of getting a tattoo, I really want that line tattooed on my body. if you have time, I recommend giving Once on This Island a listen!! I’ve never heard a show that uses its instruments and singers the way OoTI does (and holy FUCK it is so breathtaking live!!! I got to see it on Broadway and bro.... 🥺🥺 it was transcendental..)

summary: some concepts of you and carol in a relationship!
warning/s: none i don't think??
author's note: idk what this is but i thought it would be cute? it was a way of me to get some mini concepts of being carol's girlfriend off my chest whilst giving you guys something long enough to read, so yeah, i hope you like it! :)
masterlist 
Tumblr media
when you find out she loves you...
         "Stay tonight," I mumbled tiredly, gripping Carol's hand. "Please..."
         I heard her laugh a little as she crawled into my bed, spooning me from behind. I didn't let go of her hand as she laced an arm around my waist, holding me close and making me feel safe.
         "I'll stay as long as you want, Y/N," she promised, pressing a kiss to my cheek.
         I smiled tiredly, my eyes closed as I intertwined our fingers. "All night. Don't leave."
         I felt her body shake against mine as she chuckled quietly. "You got it, babe."
         I wasn't sure how long we stayed like that, me listening to the sound of her breathing as it soothed me into slumber, and her holding me close and warming me up a little, using her powers. Eventually though, I heard her speaking.
         "I love you so much, Y/N," she whispered, and I realised she must have thought I was asleep because she sounded so sure of herself and I felt her moving strands of hair from my face. "I'll tell you eventually, I promise. Not yet. But I love you. I'll stay forever, if you'll have me."
         I felt her lips press to my forehead before she tucked her head into my shoulder.
         "God, Carol, you're such a nerd," she mumbled to herself, and I truly had to resist the urge to smile.
         She loves me.
when you realise you love her...
         I continued to take photos of Carol, or 'Captain Marvel' I guess, as she met with the sick children at the children's hospital. I was covering the story for the local paper – Captain Marvel paying a visit to the children's hospital. It was sweet and I was happy to do it. Seeing the joy on the kids' faces as they met their favourite superhero in person was a privilege to photograph and everybody deserved to see it.
         "That necklace is beautiful," she said to one of the young girls, a grin on her lips. "Did you make it yourself?"
         The young girl nodded as she stared in wonder at Carol, who was kneeling down to be the same height as her.
         "Dana, sweetie, do you want to give Captain Marvel something?" a nurse said kindly, smiling down at the young girl.
         Dana nodded enthusiastically, reaching into her pocket and pulling out some bracelets.
         "I made these for you," she said adorably, and I snapped a photo as she held out her hand to Carol, who was watching her with adoration.
         "For me? Oh my!" Carol accepted the two bracelets and studied them carefully. "How lucky am I, Dana? These are gorgeous!"
         Dana grinned, showing her missing teeth, and I felt my heart swell at how cute she was.
         "You could keep one and give the other," she said, pausing to take a breath, "give the other to someone else."
         "Really? And who do you think I should give it to?" Carol asked her, a beautiful smile on her face as she looked to Dana.
         "Whoever you want!" Dana said, shrugging.
         "Well, why did you give it to me?" Carol asked her, holding Dana's hand gently.
         Dana grinned. "Because I love you!"
         Carol laughed and the nurse watched with amusement. I forgot about my camera for a moment, as I watched Carol put one bracelet on her wrist and hold the other.
         "Well, I guess that means I have to give this to someone I love!" she said, eyebrows raised with excitement, making Dana laugh. "Is that okay with you?"
         Dana nodded eagerly, causing Carol to laugh all over again. Dana joined in and I felt my heart warming at the sight. My eyes automatically drew to Carol as she stared at Dana lovingly, a grin on her face. She glanced my way, as if to say 'look how cute she is!', before looking back to Dana.
         I was too distracted by Carol, though. She was absolutely amazing and I was insanely lucky to have her as my girlfriend.
         And maybe, I guess, I had fallen in love with her.
when you both tell each other 'I love you'...
         "How is it going with the editing?" Carol asked from the kitchen.
         I looked up and saw her at her stove, cooking away. She had invited me over, wanting to cook me dinner at her place, and here I was, doing work. I shut my laptop and went over to her, feeling guilty for not giving her the attention she deserved.
         "It's done for the night," I mumbled, wrapping my arms around her waist and leaning my head on her shoulder. "Sorry."
         "Hey, it's okay, you've got deadlines, I get that," she said reassuringly, glancing at me with a smile, before paying attention to the wok in front of her. "As long as you're here, I'm happy."
         I smiled, feeling those familiar butterflies in my stomach as she finished stirring the sauce to some pasta dish she was putting together. She turned off the gas and set the spoon down before turning around and wrapping her arms around my waist. I laced mine around her shoulder, grinning up at her.
         "Dinner is ready," she muttered, mirroring my grin as she looked down at me.
         I almost didn't register what she said because as cliché as it sounded, I was too distracted by her golden-brown eyes, staring into mine with love and adoration. I hadn't stopped thinking about what I had heard her say that night not long ago when she thought I was asleep. She loved me, but she hadn't said it yet. She moved slow, and I was sure it was because of me. So, I took the first step.
         "I love you," I said honestly.
         She raised her eyebrows a little, but her smile didn't waiver. "You do?"
         I nodded, the butterflies in my stomach flying higher and higher. "Yeah."
         She nodded, swallowing visibly. "That's good because I love you, too."
         I smiled and she leaned forward, closing the gap between us to seal the deal with a kiss. A wonderful, beautiful, amazing, loving kiss.
when she comforts you...
         "I hate everything," I mumbled into my couch cushion.
         "Except chocolate," Carol pointed out, approaching me on the couch before kneeling before me, a smile on her lips. She held out a chocolate bar. "You love chocolate."
         Even if I felt like I was dying, my period killing me as each second passed, nothing could stop me from smiling at how thoughtful Carol was.
         I accepted the chocolate bar, already taking the wrapper off. "I love you so much, you absolute babe."
         She laughed and took a seat at the end of the couch, lifting my feet before setting them on her lap. I finished the chocolate bar before pulling the blanket over my shoulders, trying to concentrate on the TV. But my cramps were hurting too much.
         "I want to die," I groaned over-dramatically, pulling my hot water bottle out from under my blanket and turning so I was facing the ceiling instead of the TV. I tossed the hot water bottle across the room with annoyance, mumbling, "Pointless piece of shit."
         "Babe, do you–"
         "I'm fine," I said sharply, sighing with annoyance. Another cramp struck though and I pulled a face. "Damn. I need the hot water bottle back."
         "How about something better?" Carol said, already moving to squeeze by my side on the couch.
         She got under the blanket with me and rested a hand on my abdomen gently. I felt her hand heating up slowly, eventually staying at the perfect temperature and soothing the cramps that were once taking over.
         "Oh my god...," I said, closing my eyes in relief. "That feels so good."
         I heard Carol chuckle from beside me and I opened my eyes to turn to her. She was smiling, her eyes never leaving mine.
         "Sorry for being a bitch," I said, resting my hand on hers. "I didn't mean it."
         Carol suppressed a laugh, kissing the tip of my nose. "I know, Y/N. It's okay."
         "You're so much better than a hot water bottle," I said, leaning my head on her shoulder and closing my eyes again, not feeling so uptight now that my ovaries weren't exploding.
         "I'm glad to hear that," she said, and I could sense the amusement in her voice.
         I smiled to myself, grateful that my photon-blasting, plane-flying, planet-saving girlfriend had some warm, loving hands to make me feel better.
when you comfort her...
         I was watching TV when I heard the sound of metal scratching against tile from the kitchen. I looked away from the screen and saw Carol cursing to herself as she bent down to the floor, only to stand up, holding a spoon.
         "Stupid spoon," she mumbled, throwing it into the sink with a loud clang.
         I noticed how annoyed she looked as she put the yoghurt she got out back into the fridge, probably changing her mind on eating it, but when she opened the fridge, an orange juice carton fell out onto the floor.
         "For fuck's sake!" she yelled, aggressively picking the carton from the floor and shoving it into the fridge with anger.
         "Carol," I said softly, standing up and going to her. "Hey, it's okay, it's just juice. What's wrong?"
         She slammed the fridge shut, making it tremble under her strength, before breathing out slowly. I noticed her hands were glowing, something they did when she was angry or frustrated, so I rested a hand on her forearm and pulled her close. I watched as the light faded and she leaned into me, her head in my shoulder.
         "C'mon, let's go sit down," I said quietly into her ear, pressing a kiss to her neck before leading her to the couch.
         I turned the TV off as she laid down, her head on my lap and facing the TV. I pulled the blanket on top of her, wrapping her up, before holding one of her hands and running my other hand through her hair.
         "You wanna tell me what's wrong?" I asked gently, not wanting to push her into speaking.
         She didn't say anything at first, so I assumed she wasn't in the mood, but then I saw her sniffle and realised tears were running down her cheeks. My heart broke as I watched her hurting, but she finally spoke, which made me hold off from doing anything further.
         "I'm having a shitty day and nothing is going right," she spoke quietly, clutching my hand tighter, pulling it close to her chest. "My mind keeps going to places I don't want it to and I don't know what to do..."
         I continued to stoke her hair, knowing she liked the comforting feeling, and said, "Everybody has those days where nothing goes right. It sucks, but without them, we can't appreciate the good days. It's horrible, but we can't get rid of them. We can try to make them better though."
         She sighed, using her other hand to wipe her tears before turning around in my lap, so she was looking up at me. I smiled down at her reassuringly and she forced a small smile in return.
         "The Kree soldiers almost got away with it," she suddenly said, her smile disappearing. I saw an absent look in her eyes as she continued. "They almost convinced me that I was one of them. I know it was a long time ago, but I can't help but think..."
         "Think what, Carol?" I asked, holding her gaze.
         She blinked and her glassy eyes released another tear. "What if they got away with it? Successfully made me forget about my life here? I could still be killing innocents right now if I didn't realise the truth."
         She sat up before I could say anything and I watched as she leaned into her hands, taking a deep breath. I frowned, rubbing her back slowly as she tried to get herself together.
         "You're having an off day and that can put your thoughts in some bad places," I told her, pressing a kiss to her shoulder. "You're thinking about the what if's. It's not helping. You're just overthinking."
         "I know," she mumbled, crawling back onto my lap, "but I can't help it."
         I wrapped my arms around her as she tucked her head into my neck, sniffling slightly.
         "It's hard, but try focusing on the present," I said gently. "Think about what you have. What's right in front of you. Don't think about anything else but now."
         I felt her nod into my chest and I sighed quietly, feeling guilty that I couldn't think to do anything else. I couldn't imagine what she'd been through and how it had affected her. She was always so strong, but even superheroes had their moments of vulnerability.
         "I'm sorry," I muttered. "I wish I could take your pain away somehow."
         Carol cuddled closer to me, if that was even possible, and said, "I like it when you hold me. I feel safe."
         I cracked a smile, glancing down at her. She had her eyes closed contently, a ghost of a smile on her lips.
         "I'm glad," I said, pressing a kiss to her head. "I love you."
         "Not more than I love you," she replied quietly, and my smile widened.
when she's mad at you...
         "You ready?"
         I nodded, raising my hands in defence. "I'm ready."
         My self defence instructor, Fatima, took a deep breath before coming forward, grabbing me in a headlock. I gasped as she tried to cut off my breathing, but I remembered what she taught me and elbowed her in the stomach before trying to step aside. She tightened her grip, making me step on her foot and elbow her again, harder. She shoved me off and I turned around, only to be charged at and thrown to the floor – thankfully there were mats otherwise that definitely would have hurt more than it did.
         "You need to regain control otherwise your attacker could come and do, well, that," Fatima explained, hands on her knees as she caught her breath.
         "Gotcha," I said, giving her a thumbs up, all whilst groaning and clutching my back. "That's gonna leave a bruise..."
         "Y/N, I can go easier on you," Fatima said, helping me to stand up.
         I shook my head immediately. "No, no, don't. If I was actually getting attacked, they wouldn't take it easy on me."
         Fatima nodded. "You're right."
         "Exactly," I said, ignoring the existent-bruises on my body and getting into a fighting stance. "Again."

         I was laying on the couch, watching TV and resting my body from training when I heard the front door opening.
         "Of course you're in the exact same place I left you in," Carol commented when she walked in, an amused smile on her lips.
         I chuckled, muting the TV as she dropped her coat by the door before running towards me and laying on top of me.
         "Carol," I whined, though I secretly loved it.
         She laughed and placed her hands by my head to balance herself above me. She grinned down at me, her hair falling by her face and framing her beautiful smile.
         "I missed you today," she said, her eyes meeting mine.
         I mirrored her smile, tucking some of her hair behind her ear. "I missed you, too. How was work?"
         She shook her head. "I don't want to talk about that. I just want to be with you."
         My heart warmed as she leaned forward and pressed her lips to mine, sending a surge of butterflies in my stomach. I was exhausted and sore, wanting to push her off, but I missed her too much and found myself kissing her back, my hand on the nape of her neck as she pressed her body to mine.
         She sucked on my lower lip which elicited a moan from me, making her smirk beneath me before she moved down to my neck and started to suck on the sensitive skin.
         "Carol," I moaned, my eyes rolling backwards in satisfaction.
         "Maybe we should take this elsewhere," she mumbled, working her way back up my neck and to my lips. She disconnected our lips so she could place her hands around my waist to lift me up, but I groaned loudly when her hands gripped one of my bruises.
         "Oh my god, Y/N, I'm so sorry!" she said quickly, her eyes widening as she pulled away, rolling off me to stand up. "Did I hurt you?"
         I breathed out and sat up, pulling a face at how quickly my limbs went stiff from not moving.
         "It's okay, Carol, it wasn't you," I assured her, seeing the guilt in her expression.
         She kneeled down in front of me, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, I didn't think I held you that strong, oh my god. Here, let me check."
         She reached to my shirt to pull it up and I tried to stop her, but she'd already done it and her eyes widened even more, if possible.
         "Oh my god! Did I do that?!" she asked, her hand wavering over her mouth in shock.
         "Carol, no, of course not!" I said, grabbing her hands and squeezing them gently. I got her attention by catching her eyes and said, "It wasn't you, I promise."
         "Who– who did that to you?!" she asked, sitting beside me, her eyes now on my bruised hip, though it was covered by my shirt.
         "Carol, I'm fine," I tried to reassure her, but I knew this wouldn't end well. She didn't know about my self-defence training, and for very good reason.
         "Y/N, who hurt you?" she said through gritted teeth, her eyes tearing up.
         I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath, before opening them again and saying, "It's my fault. I... I sometimes get hurt when I go to my self-defence classes."
         She blinked several times, finally meeting my eyes. "Your... your what?"
         I kept ahold of her hands as I said, "I take self-defence classes, Carol. Well, personal training, I guess. My instructor, Fatima, teaches me basic self-defence moves and I guess sometimes I take it a little too far and sustain some bruising, but nothing serious."
         "Nothing serious? Your hip is purple, Y/N!" Carol shouted, letting go of my hands. "Why the hell do you need to go to self-defence?"
         "Carol, it's not that big of a deal," I said, keeping my voice at its normal volume. "I just want to be able to protect myself."
         "I thought I... I try to protect the both of us, Y/N," Carol said, her voice lowering. "Do I not do a good enough job?"
         "That's not it," I said, resting a hand on her knee. "You keep me safe, Carol, but you're not always around. I want to be able to defend myself if you're not there."
         Carol bit her lip, shaking her head as she looked away from me. "I can't believe you hid this from me... When exactly am I not here, Y/N? I try my hardest!"
         I clenched my jaw, feeling my own eyes tearing up now. "Carol, this isn't about you. I know you do the best you can. But you're not my personal bodyguard."
         "What are you scared of?!" she asked, meeting my eyes desperately.
         "Your enemies! Okay?! I'm scared of your enemies!" I yelled, a tear escaping my eye. "Have you forgotten when that HYDRA agent broke into our flat and tried to kill me five months ago?!"
         Carol's angry expression faded as she saw me being deadly serious.
         "You weren't there, Carol! And I'm not blaming you! But if I had known, even a little bit of knowledge on how to protect myself, maybe I wouldn't have almost died! I was terrified, okay?! I don't want to feel like that again!"
         Carol watched as I regained control of my breathing and I didn't know what else to say. I wiped away any stray tears of mine and stood up, wincing a little at my sore body.
         "This isn't up to you," I said, angrily. "This is my choice. You don't get to be angry."
         I didn't spare her a glance as I left the living-room and headed straight to our bedroom, making sure to slam the door behind me so she knew not to follow me. I sighed as I crawled into our bed, staring at the ceiling.
         She didn't get to tell me what to do this time. She wouldn't understand. She's this omnipotent being with the ability to hurt anyone who tried to hurt her. She didn't understand what it was like to be vulnerable. She didn't get to tell me what to do.
         This was my choice.
when you're mad at her...
         "It's just three weeks and I'll be back before you know it," Carol tried to sound hopeful, but I couldn't even look at her without feeling the urge to yell.
         She was leaving for yet another mission assigned by S.H.I.E.L.D. - by Nick Fury himself. She had only just come back from a mission a week ago and was already preparing to leave for another. I knew it came with the job. She was a superhero, she saved people, made them feel safe. But it wasn't fair.
         I knew she would have to leave at times, I understood why. But it didn't make it any easier. At first, I could say goodbye and see her again without feeling anything other than longing. I missed her, but she always came back. Now, I only ever felt angry and I hated it.
         "Y/N?" she called, her voice soft and careful as she stepped closer to me. "Is that okay?"
         I breathed out slowly before looking to her. "When have you ever needed my permission?"
         She seemed taken aback as she held my stare with uncertainty. "If you tell me not to go, I won't."
         I searched her eyes for something, though I wasn't sure what. I just knew that the longer I stared at the golden flecks swirling around, the more I found this whole thing funny. I even let out a little chuckle.
         "What's so funny?" she asked, furrowing her brows.
         I shook my head distastefully. "How much of an arsehole would I be if I told you not to go?"
         She stepped forward, but I stepped back.
         "Y/N..."
         "You said I could tell you not to go, but we both know that's not true at all," I said harshly, glaring at her as my sight grew blurry with tears. "That's selfish of me. To deny some poor planet out there of your help. You can save them. Why would I stop you from going? Because I miss you? How pathetic of me."
         "Y/N, that's not what I meant," she said instantly, grabbing my hand and squeezing it.
         "I know it isn't, but that's how it is," I said, yanking my hand away. "Forget it. Three weeks, right? Well, I guess I'll see you in three weeks, Carol."
         "Y/N, please don't be like this," she tried to say, frowning, but I ignored her as I turned around and left our bedroom, heading to the kitchen to cool off.
         I hated that I could never ask her to stay. I wished she would, but she couldn't. And there was nothing I could do about it.  
when you're in an argument + when she gets jealous...
         I pursed my lips as I assembled my burger. I glanced up through my eyelashes, seeing Carol sat on the couch, engrossed in the television. I narrowed my eyes with annoyance before looking back to my burger, putting some lettuce and onions on it. I headed to the fridge to grab the jar of pickles and set it on the counter, attempting to open it.
         I groaned as I twisted with all my might, but the stupid lid wouldn't budge. It was a brand new jar and I had no upper body strength whatsoever which made me sigh. I really wanted pickles, they were my favourite.
         I sucked up a deep breath and tried again, only to no avail. I clenched my jaw, using a tea towel to try and develop a grip before attempting to open it again.
         "For fuck's sake," I muttered, my stubbornness getting the best of me. No way in hell was I going to ask Carol for help. Not after we'd just had a stupid argument about how she never emptied the dishwasher.
         I used a knife to try and hit it against the lid, before attempting to open it again, but of course, nothing. I breathed out with annoyance and gave up, finishing adding sauce to my burger before taking a bite out of it. It was tasty, but damn, I really wanted pickles.
         I rolled my eyes before setting down my burger and grabbing the jar. I headed to Carol, who paid no attention to me until I cleared my throat loudly. She glanced at me, paused the TV, and gave me an expressionless stare.
         "Can I help you?" she asked bitterly.
         I resisted the urge to roll my eyes in front of her as I said, "I can't open the pickle jar."
         She suppressed a smirk as she raised an eyebrow. "Oh, so you want my help?"
         I glared at her. "Are you going to open it or not?"
         She smiled smugly, shaking her head. "I think I'm alright, but thanks for asking."
         I sighed and rolled my eyes before turning around, pissed at how childish she was acting. I set the jar back on the counter and frowned, really wanting the damn pickles. Before I could brainstorm another way to open the jar, I heard a knock on the flat door. I glanced at Carol, seeing she was invested in the TV again, so I decided to answer the door.
         When I opened it, I almost closed it again. It was our neighbour, Cole, who had a helpless crush on me and would nonstop flirt with me, even in front of Carol, who he knew was my girlfriend. I tried my best to avoid him, but there was only so much I could do when he lived next to us.
         "Cole, what can I do for you?" I asked, forcing a smile his way.
         He smirked, eyes checking me out, causing me to grip the door handle out of annoyance. "Y/N, you look as gorgeous as ever."
         I sighed. "Do you need something?"
         He nodded and held out some letters. "Your mail got delivered to me by accident. I thought I'd return it like the amazing neighbour I am."
         I accepted the mail, setting it on the table by the door. "Gee, thanks, Cole."
         "Anything for a pretty lady like yourself," he said flirtatiously, smiling cockily.
         Usually I would have slammed the door in his face by now, but I stood up straight, smiling for real. "Anything, you say?"
         He chuckled, though was confused. "I guess, why?"
         "Can you open my pickle jar?" I blurted out.
         His eyes widened, before his cocky smile returned. "I-"
         "It's a literal pickle jar," I told him, giving him a knowing look, "before you get any ideas."
         He grinned. "A damsel in distress? Of course I will help you, Y/N."
         He followed me to the kitchen, going on about how he was happy to be my knight in shining armour. I nodded along like I was listening, but really I was thinking about the pickles I was finally going to be able to eat.
         "Here," I said, passing him the jar.
         He opened it without a struggle before handing it back to me. I smiled to myself, setting the jar on the counter.
         "Thanks," I said, giving him an appreciative smile.
         "Anytime, lovely lady," he said obnoxiously, sliding closer to me, forcing me to step back uncomfortably. "Say... why are Carol's eyes glowing like that?"
         I followed his gaze and saw Carol still sat on the couch, but now she was looking our way, her eyes glowing golden. I shook my head and rolled my eyes, knowing she was jealous. As fun as it was to piss her off, I really didn't want to have to deal with her photon blasting Cole through the wall.
         "Cole, thanks for your help once again," I said, pushing him towards the door. "And thanks for the mail."
         He was intrigued by Carol's eyes, but eventually got the hint when I shoved him into the hallway. "You're welcome. I guess I'll see you around?"
         I forced a smile. "Maybe. Bye."
         I shut the door before he could say anything else and sighed before heading back to the kitchen, looking forward to eating my burger finally. Only, when I got there, I saw Carol stood by the counter, a hand resting on the jar and glowing, heating it up.
         "Carol!" I shouted, shoving her away from it, before trying to grab the jar, only to yank my hand away with annoyance because it was still steaming hot. I frowned, looking into the jar to see all of the pickles gooey and gross.
         "No pickles," she said, and I looked up to see her shrugging, unbothered.
         I glared at her. "You're acting like a child! If you had just opened the jar for me, I wouldn't have had to ask Cole! You're a jealous, annoying freakin' child, ugh!" I looked back to my pickles, frowning again. "I finally got the jar open, damn..."
         I heard Carol groan and was about to fight her about it, but I saw her heading to the door. I followed her, watching as she put on her leather jacket and grabbed her car keys.
         "Where are you going now?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "First you ruin my burger and now you're just gonna leave?"
         "I'm going to buy you some damn pickles," she got out through gritted teeth, a little guiltily, before leaving the flat, slamming the door behind her.
         I stood there for a moment, arms crossed as I stared at the door, only to hate myself for smiling and not feeling so mad anymore.  
when you get jealous...
         I sighed, staring at the bannister and wondering why I was here. I wasn't one for parties and– actually? Scratch that. I wasn't one for parties where the freakin' Avengers attended.
         Carol and I were at a party being hosted by the one and only Tony Stark and it should have been a dream come true, except it was the seventh party I'd been to and the same thing happened every time.
         Carol was amazing and I loved her, but she was oblivious to the fact that she'd leave me out and I would feel out of place. She loved the Avengers and would always hang out with them, leaving me to attempt to mingle with people I didn't know. So, I always found myself hiding in this same spot for most of the time – the staircase.
         I was deciding what I could possibly do to pass time when the door opened, startling me and making me sit up straight on the steps. It was Natasha Romanoff.
         I felt my cheeks grow warm as I said, "Erm, sorry, I can go if–"
         She shook her head, smiling softly. "No, it's fine, sorry to disturb."
         I didn't know what to say, so she closed the door, stepping inside, and the music from the party went back to being muffled in the distance.
         "You okay over here?" she asked, a hint of concern in her voice.
         I nodded unconvincingly. "Erm, yeah. Shouldn't you be enjoying the party?"
         She snickered, taking a seat a few steps below me. She leaned back against the bannister, glancing up at me with a raised eyebrow. "Shouldn't you be?"
         I cracked a small smile. "Touché."
         She sighed, her smile fading. "So, what's wrong? Are you and Carol fighting or something?"
         I furrowed my eyebrows. "Why would you think that?"
         She shrugged. "You guys haven't exactly been close this evening. And you're sat in here alone when she's out there having fun."
         I looked down at my hands in my lap, avoiding Nat's eyes. "We're fine..."
         "You sure about that?"
         I met her amused expression. "It's silly."
         A hint of a smile was on her lips as she said, "Most of my life is serious, so enlighten me with this silliness of yours."
         I mirrored her expression before looking ahead of me. "It's just, whenever we get invited to a party with you guys, I feel like Carol prefers hanging out with all of you instead of me. She just seems more interested in you guys and I mean, I get it. You're the Avengers. But I don't know, I feel stupid for getting jealous. You all know her better than I do and that's why I feel left out. Like I'm second place or something."
         I looked to Natasha and saw her giving me a knowing look.
         "Okay, that totally wasn't silly, so I'm slightly annoyed you got my hopes up," she began, making me chuckle, "and Carol adores you, Y/N. You could never come in second place to any of us."
         I frowned, glancing down at my hands again.
         "Have you told her how you feel?" she asked gently.
         I smiled sadly. "I could never do that. I don't want to be that girlfriend, you know? The jealous one who makes her girl feel bad for hanging out with her friends. I don't want to start an argument or anything. Besides, Carol doesn't know I'm here, so I'll go back to the party later or something. It'll be okay."
         Natasha nodded. "I get you, but you should try talking to her, Y/N. She loves you a lot and I'm sure she doesn't mean to make you feel like this."
         "I know she doesn't," I agreed, before breathing out slowly. "Maybe another time, Nat. For now, I think I'll stay here. Unless you wanna kick me out."
         Nat laughed, beginning to stand up. "The staircase is all yours, Y/N. I just wanted to check in on you."
         I smiled up at her as she approached the door. "Thank you. And erm, please can you not mention any of this to Carol? I don't wanna freak her out."
         Natasha smiled. "I promise not to say anything."
         I nodded gratefully and watched her leave. I stayed sat on the staircase for another twenty minutes or so, just thinking. At first, I thought I should have made more of on effort instead of hiding, but then I was reminded of all the times before now when I had done that, and I'd just ended up miserable. I hated that I felt second best to literal superheroes.
         I finally returned to the party after sulking for a while, seeing the penthouse was pretty much the same save for the few extra smashed vases, probably from drunken dares. I saw the Avengers dotted around, all of them enjoying themselves to the fullest. Though I couldn't see Carol anywhere.
         "Y/N, there you are!"
         Speak of the devil. I turned around and saw Carol approaching me, a concerned expression on her face.
         "Here I am," I said, smiling half-heartedly. "What's up?"
         She grabbed my hand, squeezing it gently. "I've been looking everywhere for you. I was hoping we could talk."
         I saw the seriousness in her eyes and nodded, wondering what she wanted. I allowed her to lead me outside on the balcony. There was nobody out there which was probably why she took me there, and I found us both standing by the edge, leaning on the gate and looking out into the city. Tony Stark was one lucky man to be able to afford to see this view every day.
         It was a little chilly though, and Carol must have noticed because she shrugged off her jacket and gave it to me.
         "You sure?" I asked, reluctantly accepting the jacket.
          “Super powers, remember?" she reminded me, raising a glowing hand.
         I smiled before putting her jacket on, instantly in a trance because of her smell hugging me close.
         "What did you need?" I asked, remembering why we were out here.
         She frowned, holding both of my hands now. "Y/N, I'm so sorry. Nat told me about what you said earlier."
         I closed my eyes, sighing. "God damn, Nat... it's literally in her job description to keep secrets and she can't keep this one thing to herself..."
         "Y/N–"
         "Look, it doesn't matter what I said," I said, opening my eyes and looking into Carol's. "Nat caught me at a bad time. I was just venting. I didn't mean it."
         Carol shook her head, lifting her hand to rest against my cheek. "No, that's not acceptable. I didn't realise I was neglecting you. I just get so excited around the others and I never meant to leave you out. I don't want you to feel bad."
         I rested my hand on hers, pulling it from my face and kissing it gently. "It's okay, Carol. Jealousy is an ugly colour on everyone. Especially me."
         Carol sighed quietly. "I'm sorry. You mean the world to me, Y/N. You're always first place in my mind. It's not even a competition. You'd win every time."
         I cracked a smile. "Thank you."
         "I love you because you get me," she continued, her eyes glistening with honesty. "You get me more than the Avengers. Yeah, they're pretty cool, but you're the one who knows me best. You know I like my blankets put in the dryer to warm them up before bed, or that I like to wear my Goose-themed slippers around the flat. Or that I like to be held when I've had a rough day. You know all of these things and more. They don't."
         I wrapped my arms around her shoulders, allowing her to wrap hers around my waist and pull me close to her, so our bodies were practically touching.
         "I love you so much," she said quietly, her hazel eyes meeting mine. "I'm sorry."
         My heart was beating faster than usual. "I love you, too. And you're forgiven."
         She smiled, her eyes squinting adorably, before leaning forward to close the gap between us. Her lips moved in perfect rhythm with mine and I felt her grasp on my waist tighten as she pulled us as close as possible. Any chill in the air that I felt was no longer there, and when I smiled, unfortunately breaking the kiss, I realised she was glowing golden and warming me up.
         "I will never get used to that," I said, letting out a small laugh as I saw her whole self lighting up in the dark.
         "What can I say? You have that effect on me," she said knowingly, a smug smile on her lips.
         I laughed and shook my head at how cringey she was. She grinned and pressed a kiss to my forehead before pulling me close again, the two of us hugging and looking out over the balcony.
         I loved her so much.

Poly Wanna? Ch. 7
This is probably my messiest chapter YET. We get some action too, and some pain and even some violence, so TW for that. I didn’t put a warning on the ffnet post, but I think most of the readers read this here anyway and only my two muffins read on that end. They know who they are. At any rate, prepare to drama to the fullest reality TV style extent.
Lemme know if I need to take you off the tag. Idk who’s actually reading because I’ve only heard from a couple of people, so idk if y’all still interested.
@adorkable-blackgirl  @chenoahchantel @ciara-knightly @cactus-con @up-the-tube @riebellion  @itsyaapollochild@oof–musicals @lesbian-so-what @woahjusttakeiteasy-man @meadowstryingtobepretty @imma-sensitive-btch @okaygal21 @midernacht @divinereign4ever @xoxoemille
The Unspoken Stories
“You know how sometimes, people say things like ‘I had a feeling about this’ or ‘I simply just knew,” or anything else to indicate that they possessed some intuition about things? I often wonder where that comes from? Is it like Charlotte says - the universe, energy, spirit, etc or whatever, or is it something inside of you that just tells you, like a superpower? I don’t tend to have a lot of intuition about many things. I tend to try to assess what I see, but I’m usually battling with multiple questions about exactly what that is. I don’t have any intuition that I know of, so the feeling that I’ve been getting around Char and Jasp… I think it’s probably wishful thinking, but they’re warming up to me.”
Jasper decided that a good place to maybe talk out some of Charlotte’s tension, as it related to Henry and the other two girls was to have them air it out at the spa. Henry and Charlotte both thought that was a terrible idea, but he raised a good point, “Would it be better at a fancy restaurant, at dinner, where drinks might be thrown? Or at one of our homes, where possessions might be damaged? At least if things go poorly, everyone can go to a different room and get some stress relief treatment.” 
“Why are your expectations filled with violence?” Charlotte wondered, knowing that he probably was lowkey accusing her of possibly whipping somebody’s ass. 
She wasn’t violent, so much as she had been more likely to fight since her breakup with Henry. That was the first time she struck someone in anger, and it felt good at the moment, but definitely bad afterwards. Even if she hadn’t hurt her wrist, she hurt her pride. She let him make her so mad that she resorted to putting her hands on someone. She didn’t like that about herself. And, it made it easier for her to be willing to put her hands on others, since then. Boxing helped, though. Punching a bag instead of punching people, whether or not they deserved it, kept her from punching her dad right in the chin any time that she saw him.
“Because, I’ve had to pull my girlfriend backstage for fighting customers,” Jasper answered simply.
“Wasn’t a fight. He grabbed me and I defended myself.”
“You broke a glass over his head. I’ve DROPPED those glasses, numerous times. Do you know the level of not with the shits you have to be to break one of those on a human being?” Jasper wondered.
“He had a thick skull,” she said and shrugged her shoulders. “I’m not violent. I’m defensive. There’s a difference. Whenever I punched at Henry, it was a reflex to him grabbing me when I was trying to leave and was already pissed. I’ve only ever hit men who made me feel threatened or violated my space. They might rule this world, but I’m not a part of any man’s inheritance.”
Charlotte had a WHOLE regimen planned for the day. She had checked on the prices and made a checklist of what she was having done and they had decided that their chat could be held in the steam room. She and Jasper rode together, of course. He had his hair pulled up into a tiny bun that she kept snapping photos of and K(her)SL. Along with the stubble on his face, he looked so “Daddy,” and she lived for it, but that bun was SENDING her. 
The owner of the spa (the one with the history with Henry that he never quite acknowledged) made sure to be there herself to make sure that the group was treated fairly. Charlotte hoped to see some juicy backlash, but Henry was already there when she and Jasper came in, sweet-talking her. There were flowers there and a handwritten card. She was guessing that he apologized… She stopped Jasper and asked, “Is that Henry’s handwriting?” in a quiet voice.
“Girl, no. Henry has a pensman.”
“That’s not a real word.”
“Penman?”
“Somebody writes letters for Henry?”
“Whenever he wants to suck up extra hard. The dyslexia, you know, makes letters from him more heartfelt?”
“But, if he didn’t WRITE it himself, how is it heartfelt?”
“She doesn’t know he didn’t write it.” Charlotte started to put him on blast, but they needed to have the big conversation and she could always clarify with homegirl, later. There was no way that she was gonna just let that woman be played out by this boy again. 
Henry smiled at Charlotte and Jasper as they approached. “Look who it is! My favorite people!” He cheered and went to hug them. “Got you some flowers,” he said and handed each of them a yellow rose. 
Jasper forced a smile, but looked sad. Charlotte definitely noticed and wondered, “What’s wrong?” She was on the alert and ready to defend him, if need be. He gave her a kiss on the temple and whispered that he’d rather not get into it. “So, whenever Henry and I were… involved, if he did something mean or hurt me, he’d always apologize with yellow roses. He said yellow roses were for apologies to your friend, and since I’m his best friend, he never wanted to let any kinda problems go unchecked or any kind of hurt he caused me to go without apology… When I went to the hospital, he didn’t even come to see me, but he sent me six dozen yellow roses and I honestly thought that I’d never get another from him. I had a lot of feelings when he handed me a single…”*Starts crying and gets up.*
The spa owner got a whole bouquet of various apology flowers, but since they were having a spa day, Henry felt like single yellow roses were the way to go for his company. He knew that Jasper would get it, if nobody else did. Jasper seemed pretty emotional about it. Henry didn’t have the intuition to know whether it was good or bad. Charlotte had the intuition to know that it was a mixture of both, but she didn’t know the context and that irritated her.
Chloe and Bianca showed up, holding hands and laughing together. Chloe had on some open toe shoes and Charlotte looked down and asked, “Getting something done with those feet today?”
Chloe smiled awkwardly and laughed a little, “Should I?”
“It’s up to you,” Charlotte said, then unintentionally, but intentionally looked right at the camera as she tried to stifle a smile. “My mother used to tell me that I had to remember to moisturize so that I wouldn’t be ashy. I didn’t realize that Chloe needed to moisturize too.” 
Bianca said, “Oh, we should TOTALLY get our feet done!”
“I saw a foot mask made especially for crack repairs,” Charlotte suggested. Henry tried really hard to not laugh, realizing that even though her voice was very sweet, that was most likely shade. Chloe’s feet were looking kinda worn.
“Charlotte must have some kind of foot fetish or something. She was REALLY centered on my feet! What people don’t know is that I’m an athlete. I’ve been on multiple reality show challenges and have even won some seasons. So, yes, my feet are a little less feminine than the girl who can’t decide if she’s a singer or a scientist. I’ve actually gotta get out there and grind.”
“Would you like a naked steam room?” The owner asked. Henry looked around at his company. Bianca and Chloe looked down for it. Jasper didn’t seem to care (or maybe he didn’t hear. He was staring at his rose). Whenever Henry made eye contact with Charlotte, she had a raised eyebrow DARING him to say yes.
“I think we’ll be good in one with clothes?” He said, still looking at Charlotte to see if her face changed. She relaxed a little. 
“Robe sizes needed?” 
Charlotte snuggled up to Jasper and wondered, “Are you gonna be okay?”
“Yeah,” He looked up at her and smiled. She was a happy part of life. He didn’t need to dwell on the dark parts. “I was just thinking about how lucky I am now, versus how it could have been, how it used to be.”
She nodded, “Well, you won’t be able to bring that into the steam room. You wanna put it in a locker and I can maybe preserve the petals for you when we get home?”
“No,” he said and tossed it into the trash. “I don’t need to hang on to any of that.”
She didn’t know what any of that meant, but she wrapped her arm around him from the side and leaned up to make him bend down for a kiss. “Jasper threw my rose away. I didn’t know if that meant that he didn’t accept my apology or if it meant that there was nothing to be forgiven, but it hurt to see. But, Charlotte, she kissed hers and she put it away safely. I know that she’s probably gonna save the petals, like she used to… or I hope. I don’t have intuition, like I said. I’m guessing, here.”
.
Charlotte kept her spa shoes on her feet, grateful to have them. Who knew what those roach stompers Chloe had might bring into the room with them? Jasper was sweating before they even got into the room. He and Charlotte sat next to each other, Bianca and Chloe sat across from them and Henry tried to figure out where he might be best seated… He decided across from Charlotte and Jasper, since they were what was really important to him and he wanted to look them in the eyes as they did… whatever would be done here today.
“Okay, so, thank you everybody for coming here today. I don’t want to ruin this place for you, so I sucked it up and apologized to the owner, even though most of that was all in her head. I just want everything out, like I told Jasper. I want to deal with it head on and show everyone that I have changed and I want to introduce you to who I am now. I want you to get to know me, today, as I am… But, I also understand that might not be possible without addressing the shit that I’ve done in the past, to everybody here, really. If anybody has any questions or comments, I am open for them.”
Charlotte looked at Jasper, “You wanna talk to him about something between the two of you?” Maybe, Jasper might open up now that they were having this time together. She knew that he wasn’t okay and all she wanted was for him to be better. This whole thing was more of Henry’s idea, she gathered, to curb his guilt, but if Jasper could benefit from it; she wanted that more than anything she wanted for herself. She must really love that dude, she realized.
Jasper cleared his throat and said, “I’m not that concerned with our past. It ended very miserably for me and I didn’t come here, today, or agree to the show to rehash any of that or relive it. But, I’ve been rehashing and reliving things, and you’ve seemed fine. If I want to know anything, it’s about right now. Right now, what is it that you want, Henry? Why are we all here?”
He said in a very low and soft voice, “I just want you two to love me again.” 
Jasper noticeably, immediately went soft and nodded his head. The answer was good enough for him. “What I think a lot of people don’t understand is that no matter WHAT happened between Henry and I, no matter how he hurt me or how I processed it; we were best friends for most of my life. My dad and his mom used to be super close and we were brought together before either of us were conscious about our surroundings.” *Tears up* “We were… soul mates. However you consider that to be. We were connected at the soul, like one person, for a huge portion of my life - my entire fucked up childhood, there was nobody that treated me better than Henry, and why wouldn’t I forgive him for mistakes that were made when we were young and he was already hurting? Nobody gets to control how I choose to respond with him reaching out and asking for my forgiveness. Maybe that’s stupid. Maybe it’s foolish, but how do you hate a part of yourself forever? Even the less shiny parts, you have to figure out a way to live with, and Henry has been a super shiny part and a super dark part of ME. Not just my life, but a part of me. I’ve carried him in my heart since before I knew what love was. Of course I could love him again. I do love him. I never stopped. I never would stop.”
Charlotte wasn’t as moved in the same direction as Jasper, and to be honest, in hindsight, they probably should have had separate conversations, because seeing Jasper just forgive him in his heart, while he might not have actually said it out loud… that made her heart harder. He noticed the darkening of her features as she glared in Henry’s direction and took her hand and kissed it, trying to smooth her over. Because him loving Henry didn’t take anything away from him loving her. He loved both of them for different reasons, in different ways and he never wanted to be apart from her, no matter what kind of love he had for anyone else. “What did you do to him, Henry? What would make this big hearted, kind spirited person who has always taken mistreatment from loved ones with a grain of salt… What would make him turn against you? I do some things that I’m not proud of to Jasper every single day and he still loves me. We watched his parents not give even pinches of fucks about him all throughout school, and he still loved them. We saw him idolize our boss, who wasn’t really that fond of him for many years, and he loved him… So my suspicious self, my smart self, I have to always wonder what in the world that you did to somebody that I LOVE, with most of my heart to make him not love you?”
“I didn’t stop loving him,” Jasper injected. She gently pulled her hand away. “I only say that to say… The things that you’re saying right now, they’re very triggering and just stirring things up and it's not really like that, so please…”
“I’m sorry,” she whispered and nodded at him, empathetically. He took a deep breath and leaned back. “I didn’t mean to…”
“It’s okay, Babe.”
“Please, don’t do that. I hurt you and I don’t want you to just brush it off, like it didn’t happen. Everyone needs to be held accountable for what they do.”
“Every time somebody hurts someone, it isn’t necessarily on purpose. I think that intent matters,” Jasper said. “I love you, too. I don’t care if you hurt me, because I know that wasn’t your intent.”
“But, you’re still hurt.”
“And you feel remorse for that. Don’t beat yourself up.” He hugged her. She was soft, but she was still wondering, “Seriously, what did he do to my man to have him in the bad way that I’ve heard he was in after they broke up?”
Charlotte heard one of the other two girls mumble something and her head snapped in their direction so fast that they both startled. “Did you have something to add? To help out? He didn’t say anything about wanting your love, so what’s the tea? Why are YOU TWO here? Oh, yeah, to discuss your part in all the bullshit.”
Bianca cleared her throat and said, “I was simply saying that you two are so good together that I don’t know why you even care about what Henry wants, at this point.”
“I thought that me and Henry were good together at some point too, but you didn’t right? And that’s fine, you’re entitled to feel how you feel and do what you do. You’re grown, you were grown at the time, and you weren’t involved with me, so I never came at you or confronted you or anything like that. But you, both of you, came over to our place, smiled in my face, played nice with me, and both of you weren’t about shit, behind my back.”
Bianca scoffed a chuckle and said, “Well, we were all pretty young when all of that happened. I had recently learned that you were the one who initially suggested that Henry ask me out, and Chloe felt some kind of way about it…”
Chloe threw in, “Henry and I hadn’t officially broken up, but you were pretty accepting of another girl being brought into his life, back then.”
“GIRL! You are really here, sitting here telling me that the reason you were disrupting my love life was because of something that happened when we were in school?” Charlotte cackled, but there was a terrifying anger in it. “BITCH. PLEASE.”
“Well, today, it’s like 6 or 7 years since that happened and you’re still mad. For me, at the time, it had been maybe about the same amount of time, I was younger, and I thought that Henry had just moved on because of distance, when really, he moved on because you pressured him to move on. I wasn’t even mad that I had lost Henry, but when I found out, I was hurt about it, so I wasn’t that concerned about your relationship, just as you hadn’t been concerned about mine. We’re ALL older and wiser now and I’ve moved on.”
“You’ve moved on because you didn’t have something important taken from you. You had the chance to go be on TV or be with Henry and like any kid would, you went with TV. Henry had a crush on Bianca and I, as a friend, supported that. When you left, in my head, that was that. What you did to me, we were grown and Henry and I were in a REAL relationship. And to this day, I’ve never come at you about it or anything. So, for me to be trying to console Jasper, who was SUPPOSED to be your friend and for you two to be having a little side conversation, ah kee keeing and shit… Man, fuck y’all. Y’all are so fake. To this day. You’re both some fakes and Jasper deserves better friends.” Charlotte was fuming.
Henry finally spoke up and said, “It was my fault. I shouldn’t have been airing out things to Bianca, but when that started, you and I were having some issues and I couldn’t talk to Jasper or any of our mutual friends about it, and I didn’t really have a lot of alternatives.”
“So, fuck me?” Charlotte asked and laughed sarcastically.
“At the time, I was worried that talking to you about it wouldn’t be received properly. So, I started talkin’ to Bianca, and a few things came out - that weren’t necessarily secrets, but stuff we had never talked about. I was actually speaking pretty generally about it all when I told her that you were the one that encouraged me to ask her out, and she told me that she’d kissed Kid Danger when we were together and I told her that wasn’t important anymore and we just were chilling and laughing and connecting. I didn’t expect it to turn emotional. I didn’t expect her to talk to Chloe about what she’d learned. Whenever Chloe asked me about it, I very nonchalantly told her the truth and it was years before, so like you said, we were kids, I didn’t think anything of it. But, I didn’t know that she felt hurt to find that out. Sometimes, we hold on to things that happen, not specifically because of that event or the person involved, but because of other things in our makeup.”
“Okay, but if she was still feeling a way, she could have said, ‘Hey Charlotte, I know this was a long time ago, but it’s fresh to me, because I just found out that you openly supported my first boyfriend moving on while I was away for a little while, and I’m having trouble feeling okay about that.’ We could’ve discussed it. Not… started a group chat with the two of you to fish for information about our problems and then deliberately try to drag me.”
“It wasn’t like that,” Chloe said.
“I read the entire thread. It took me hours, because it was months of inappropriate things. You started it off with a little disparaging joke about how you three could be the Charlotte is the Blame Club. Bianca had told you about my “prude problems,” and you wanted to let Hen know that you two were there for him, if he needed to blow off any steam. “Emphasis on blow, lol.” 
Chloe was speechless. She didn’t even remember most of that chat, but apparently it had mattered to Charlotte. 
Bianca said, “I promise, it was completely innocent, in the beginning. We thought it was kinda funny that you two dated so long and you didn’t do certain things for him.”
“It's nobody’s business what hangups that I have, but since everybody’s business is out right now, I will say this, I wasn’t able to slut around when I was young. My mother tried to be supportive of me being sexually aware, but long story short, she was very sexually wholesome and I didn’t do anything with anybody until Henry. So, yes, it took me a while to get into the habit of things. This boy didn’t even wash his legs whenever we got together, so no, as a science minded person who understands how germs 
work and shit, I didn’t wanna be doing a lot of risky stuff with him. And whenever I WOULD do something, I had to be sure everything was clean and clear and ready. Henry was the one who didn’t feel like “going through all of that for a BJ.’ Okay. That was his choice, just like it was my choice to not get ball sweat or ball hair anywhere near my face and mouth area! Maybe you’re fine with musty nuts in yours. I wasn’t. And that was MY. BUSINESS. With MY. BOYFRIEND. But, it's not your fault that he told you that. It WAS your fault that you shared it with Chloe, because if he wanted to share our business, okay, but why did you feel like you could share it?”
“Because I didn’t give a damn, Charlotte!” Bianca snapped. “I’m sorry that early college years, I didn’t care about privacy or things like that. It sounded like a scandal and it was humorous to me. I didn’t know that it would become what it became, which, even right now, wasn’t anything very important to me. It was a part of my life as a young adult. I’m sorry that it affected you like it did. I truly am. You seem like you were very kind to Henry and I feel like what we did made you less kind. I’m sorry that I helped you become this bitter person…”
“BITCH…” *Camera shakes and moves around through a lot of shuffling and winds up on Charlotte, getting tackled by the security* “This bitch got me injured. Couldn’t even angrily speak my mind without being seen as a threat.”
Jasper was pulling on the guard, “Get the fuck off of her! She didn’t DO anything!” Charlotte was screaming, in pain and Henry was signaling to cut the camera. The camera didn’t stop. They might need the footage. Chloe and Bianca had rushed to the other side of the sauna and Henry and Jasper were both fussing with the guard. “You get the fuck out, You’re fired. Hell no! You don’t get to grab her like that, are you serious?” 
“What is happening?” the owner of the spa asked from the doorway.
The guard said, “She was about to attack, and that’s where I have to step in. It’s my job.”
“SHE STOOD UP AND WALKED TOWARDS HER!” Henry yelled, at the same time Jasper yelled, “SHE DIDN’T EVEN TOUCH HER!” They were both yelling about how Charlotte sometimes gets in your face, but she wasn’t violent and threatening to press charges and insisting that he left immediately before he got his ass kicked. They heard Charlotte groaning and went to check on her. 
“I’m pretty sure he bruised my ribs,” she said crying. “Whenever the guard tackled Charlotte, everything happened so fast that I froze for a moment. But, when I snapped to… This motherfucker, a big grown man, had slammed my girlfriend onto a hard tile floor, crushing her and pinning her down in the process, and… I have never been more pissed in my entire goddamned life.”
“Whenever the person I hired tackled Charlotte for essentially standing up while angry, I felt responsible for that. She was hurt. It wasn’t as serious as it could’ve been, but he’s got size on her and the situation - you see a tiny woman, in a bathrobe, in a steam room approaching another woman, you can easily step in front of her and maybe ask her to step back. Tackling her was so unnecessary and infuriating.”
“I was in so much pain. I hit my tailbone on that tile, and my elbow. I bumped my head when I reflexively tried to get away and he slammed me back down telling me to hold still. If they show that footage, you’ll probably see my entire puss. He had me straddled, restrained and bruised me up pretty bad, including how hard he pinned me down. I looked like somebody beat the hell out of me and I felt like it. Because I dared to walk in a white girl’s direction while Black and pissed.” *Sighs hard and shakes her head.
Charlotte was hurt enough that she just wanted medical attention and didn’t care how that happened. Henry and Jasper took her to the ER and once she was treated, Henry insisted that she stay at the brownstone to recover. It had more room, and was more luxurious and she accepted. She was going to be resting and taking meds. Jasper collected her stuff from home to bring over. “You wanna stay? I have much more room than I need, or even two people,” Henry said.
“No. I’ll let you two try to work some things out while she heals. Maybe it can be a double healing. If she asks me to come to stay, then I’ll take you up on the offer. I think she’s just trying to process the attack by herself and I’m glad that you’re providing a safe space for her to do that.”
Henry nodded. “I can’t believe that happened.”
“I can’t believe that we didn’t kill him,” Jasper said. “But, then I’d be in prison and she’d still be injured.”
“Yeah, I might pay him a visit in the suit later. Asshole.”
Jasper nodded. “Well… I’ll have my phone right by me and on the loudest setting if she needs me. Take care of my bae.”
“I’ll take care of her like she’s mine.”
“Not… That much,” Jasper said and partially smiled. 
“We didn’t really finish the conversation…”
“We did. Sorry it didn’t happen how you hoped, but… I think she at least feels a little more trusting now. She’s staying here, isn’t she? Just… work with what you’ve got. I’d love for the two of you to patch things up. I miss the three of us.” Jasper and Henry hugged and Jasper left. 
Henry peeked in on Charlotte. She was passed out, asleep and medicated. Jasper had set her things in certain places that Henry was sure were how she must’ve liked them. Jasper was really good at stuff like that. “Sweet dreams, Char,” he softly told her.
“Night,” she said, mostly in her sleep.

so one of my coworkers is fairly new like she's been at my work for like 2.5 months and she has already secured having weekends off most of the time which is.... unheard of but she has other obligations so it's fine like we all get it.
back in November our assistant manager sent out an email asking us what our preferences are for working the holidays and essentially if we have Christmas eve/day off, we'll work nye/nyd and vice versa. he stated IN THE EMAIL that they will try their best to accommodate requests, but requests will be assessed on a seniority basis FIRST.
anyway, the Christmas schedule was released and she is in tears, complaining about how ppl who don't even have kids have Christmas off and she should have gotten it off bc she specifically requested it off. she ends up convincing our coworker to switch w her, which he did so she didn't make a fool of herself complaining to management about not getting Christmas off.
and like... I get it, it's frustrating. but we work in a business that is open 365 days a year. SOMEONE has to work on Christmas and the fact that she and the other switchboard agent are still on probation, they are the ones to work on Christmas, while the switchboard agent whose been there for 3 years should have it off just out of FAIRNESS.
all of us who got Christmas eve, Christmas day, and boxing day off have all worked there for well over a year. doesn't matter if we don't all have kids (tho... like most of us do so idk where she was coming off w that). We have done our time, most of us have worked every single holiday between starting and now. we have seniority, so our requests get prioritized. it's fairness.
and idk... just the fact that she rarely works weekends and flipped out the first time she was expected to work a holiday is just.... grating on me. especially since she apparently thinks she deserves the holiday off by virtue of being a mom alone. like it's just....... not a great look and makes it REALLY obvious she has never worked in an industry that is going 24/7/52/365 or had to work on a holiday.
and I'm all for voicing complaints and shit and like, yeah if u've had to work Christmas every single year, I would get complaining. last year one of the girls asked management if she could finally have nye off bc she had worked nye every year since the hotel opened and they went "oh my bad yeah totally if ur cool to work Christmas" and she agreed to those terms and it was fixed! so out managers are understanding, and the team is understanding, and I don't rly.... like being "know ur place" about it but like..... it would be straight up unfair to give someone who is BRAND NEW Christmas off over someone w seniority who also requested for Christmas off
idk she's lucky she didn't complain to me bc I wouldn't hesitate to remind her it's based on seniority. and again, she ALWAYS has weekends off already so it's just.... a rly bad look to demand she get a holiday off and besmirch ppl who have worked there MUCH longer than she has bc their family dynamic does not justify having Christmas off like hers does.

My Final Message to Vic Mignonga
IDK how the lawsuit is going to go, but needless to say after all the depositions and everything coming out, Vic ain’t getting mainstream work again. His reputation is forever ruined and now everyone, including agents, can see his history. But IDT I’ve ever fully taken the time to let everything out, and frankly I’m sick of seeing and thinking about this man. Sadly I’m gonna keep seeing it at leas tuntil this lawsuit is settled, but as far as I’m concerned until that result, I have no interest in talking about it on here anymore. So it’s time that I finaly say my piece.
Vic, you are a damn monster. You used people. You abused people. You used conventions, fans, and your fellow anime workers to harm young girls who were only teenagers. You lied to people. You used your fame for your own selfish, despicable means. Your fame is a damn privilege given to you, not a right to use it however you damn well please. Especially for this. After everything I’ve seen over this year, I am ashamed to have once called myself a fan. I can't watch FMA or RWBY or other shows that you were in anymore without remembering ‘yeah, this is voiced by a guy who abused minors!’ You ruined som much for so many people, but you don’t give a damn, do you? You just want to use fans as a shield and are mad that you can’t harass teenaged girls anymore.
What’s worst? I sued to admire you. When I got into anime and watched videos of conventions and interviews, I thought that you were great. You seemed like a charming man who put so much passion and love into both your roles and the fanbase. I heard stuff about homophobia and about you being a diva. I brushed it aside as exaggerations because I thought that you were genuine with your passion. that you did truly care for your fanbase and your work. That is was just misunderstandings. Because I wanted to be a voice actress who put that same amount of passion and love into what I did like you, so I wan convinced that the rumors had to be wrong.
God, my teenaged self would be having a meltdown right now if this happened back then. Worst? Teenaged me likely would have been one of the utterly rabid defenders because I wouldn’t have fully understood how horrific the accusations were. I’d have been blinded by the same charm that you used to blind everyone else now blindly defending you without care about who they hurt along the way. Thank God that I grew up to reality.
I’m lucky that I never went to cons and never met you. I had wanted to, but I’m glad I didn’t. Because seeing so many open up, seeing how many people have been hurt and humiliated and can never get their lives back makes me realize how lucky I am. But sadly, those people aren’t lucky. You ruined their lives. You broke their trust. You used them for your own sick, selfish perversions. You’re no better than Bill Cosby or Harvey Weinstein. Using your position to abuse others. As an anime fan, I am sickened. As a woman, I am sickened. As a Christian, I am sickened. As a human being, I am sickened. I let myself be blinded by you, and I’ve now seen the ugly truth.
When the lawsuit is over, I won’t think fo you ever again. Whenever I rewatch FMA? I am disassociating Ed from you because you don’t deserve to be praised for it. I’ll love the character, not you. Same with Qrow, which thankfully Jason Liebrecht will soon make me forget all about you. Same with any other role that you ever did. I won’t watch videos of your interviews or con appearances anymore. I won’t follow what you’re doing. I refuse to give you anymore attention that I’ve had to. As far as I’m concerned, you are no one. I hope that one day you realize how horrible you were and seek help. But I sadly doubt that. You can’t even sincerely say that you are sorry for all the harm that you caused. That would require accepting what you’ve done, and you’ve deluded yourself to the point that you can’t do that.
Now? I can only hope that the victims can find happiness one day and that you fade into being just a memory. A memory that we can learn from to prevent thiis from happening ever again. But as far as I’m concerned, I’m done thinking about you. Thanks for the happy times Vic, too bad that I can't be grateful for it anymore. But I’m moving on with my life, and from you. Goodbye Vic Mignonga. From now until forever.

Five Times Around The Sun: A Rookies Fifth Anniversary Special
Tumblr media
Dear Rookies,
First of all, I’d like to wish the roleplay a happy fifth birthday! I’m aware that not many roleplays live to make it this far. For you guys to make it, I’ll bet it’s some sort of achievement. And it’s all because of the work both the mods and the members of the community put into this. Let’s give ourselves a round of applause!
I warn you that this is more than 5,500 words long. So yeah. You are free to just skip over this if you wish!
There’s so much I want to say, but I’ve never been great at expressing my feelings. (Fun fact: my mom and I start laughing whenever one of us starts getting cheesy or emotional.) I never even properly celebrated either muse’s anniversaries despite them being in Rookies for more than two years! Forgive me if this gets too long. I promise I’ll do my best to keep this concise (Wow, big word!)
With this knowledge, please bear with me as I struggle to convey all that I want to say without cringing at myself.
I guess it’s safest to start sharing the story of why I opted to join Rookies in the first place. Like majority of what happened to me in terms of KRP, it was a complete accident. I have been in KRP since 2011 (if any of you have heard of ADiS, then… yeah… shifty eyes). I kind of stopped roleplaying because a job with a newspaper was difficult af. (I only went home to shower and eat. I was lucky to be able to sleep, lbr here) Anyway, I needed something to do once I resigned from my old job, and my friends got me back into KRP via a Kingsman-themed one, since they wanted someone to RP Infinite with them. I think some of you know which one it is. /cackles/
MOVING ON. This same friend also planned to join the Rookies and wanted a ship for their muse. We both ended up doing applications, but I was the only one who was able to submit because my friend ended up getting a job. Thus, my friend was never able to join the RP and I got accepted.
A little history time! Please bear with me, this is going to be irrelevant to you but I feel like I need to talk about this. Fun fact I probably never told anyone! Wendy was originally meant to be a Krystal muse. However, I had to make a few adjustments because there was either a Krystal reserve or there was a Krystal muse in the RP. I can’t remember which one it was. The muse was loosely inspired by Berry Good’s Johyun and NCT Dream’s Jaemin, who both used to be competitive speed skaters before they became idols. I changed the sport to figure skating because that is the sport I know best. Wendy was also based on several friends of mine, who were all a bunch of somewhat pretty overachievers. (Going to one of the top universities in the country enables you to meet these people, more on that when I talk about Johnny later on.)
I’m not going to lie, this was the first time I was in a directory that was this HUGE. (Not even ADiS was this huge. Min, please correct me if I’m wrong.) It was easy for me to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of people in the directory, along with concerns that my muse was just going to drown among the many way more interesting muses than what I had to offer.
It would have been easier for me to quit, since the reason I joined was gone. However, Jen ( @yujurk ) turned out to be one of my friends from my Indie RP days! Not going to lie, if it wasn’t for Jen, I doubt I’d have stayed in the roleplay at all. Jen helped ease me into the roleplay in all ways imaginable: by plotting with me, introducing me to muns from the same timezone, and answering any questions in case our good mods weren’t online.
As I was navigating and slowly finding my place in the RP, the third season of the MGAs happened! Not going to lie, I wasn’t sure I was ready for Wendy to be signed, but I thought I might as well do it for the lulz. I know I said this a lot, but the MGAs were probably the among the wildest things I ever put a muse through that I swore that I was never putting another muse through it. Despite that, I’m glad I put Wendy through the experience. It taught her a lot about herself, as well as how far she was willing to push in order to achieve her dreams. At this point, I would like to give a shout-out to Team Nova! Wendy and I can’t imagine having any other teammates besides Jungwoo ( @jungwooxrk ), and the former Luhan ( who is still around as @rksoojung and is still one of Wendy’s loves ), Mijoo, and Soyou (RIP muses). Of course, Wendy owes Ricky ( @rkrxcky ) a lot for leading her to where she is today. Thanks you guys.
After the MGAs, Wendy signed with Nova. I’d like to thank everyone in the Nova family, both past and present, for putting up with this tiny girl who claims to be their future CEO. After two years with the company, Wendy has become (hopefully) an even better vocalist and composer. Sure, her dancing and charisma can use more work — scratch that, a lot more work — but we will get her to a level that’s passable. After all, if she intends to inherit the company someday, she has to do well in the department Nova is known for. I never thought Wendy would last this long as a trainee, but here we are. She could have easily left during Royal Survival, but she didn’t. OOC, the event happened when I was taking TOPIK so RIP. IC, the reason was because she believes in whatever plans Nova has for her (if there are any LMAO). Although she’s having second thoughts now, she’s still determined to see it through. She intends to inherit the company from Hyun Bin, so she has to stay. LOL.
To Minju ( @jinkyungxrk ), thank you for being one of the first to welcome Wendy to the company and making it easy for her to adjust to trainee life. Ani ( @rkmiya ), Wendy and Sunmi have made it! Can you all believe it took Wendy TWO FREAKING YEARS to get comfortable enough with Sunmi to call her unni? And can you all believe it took us around that long to actually plot properly? JFC we are both such snails. Matt ( @rksona ), wherever you are, Wendy will always consider Dawon as one of her Nova best friends. After all, they’re both vocalists who signed pretty close to the same time. To my fellow KRP senior citizen MC/Jae ( @sujirk ) (IDK which you prefer so I’ll use both), it’s nice to know there’s someone close to my age who’s still RP-ing too, despite feeling like that Will Smith meme when finding out how YOUNG some of these children are. And here’s to Wendy and Suji getting to know each other and becoming closer. Maddy ( @rkkaeun )… Where do I even begin? Wendy likes Kaeun a lot and is excited to see how Kaeun will grow, and I feel the same about you too. To Chaeyoung mun ( @rkchaeyoung ) (Honestly, I have no idea how you like to be called, so I shall refer to you as Sowon and Chaeyoung mun for now, I’m so sorry!) and Sunny ( @rkmeiqi ), Chaeyoung and Meiqi are special to Wendy because they are simply the first fellow 98-line girls to join Nova. To Neo ( @rkyngsun ), we have yet to talk a lot and plot more, but I’m grateful that you’re okay with Wendy going all Regina George on your girl. This is going to be a slightly slow burn ship before these vocalists become gay for each other in a way. But I just hope we stick together for this crazy ride. And Nana ( @hyunark ), with Hyuna signed to Nova, Wendy’s even happier than ever, despite feeling some occasional salt at their beloved CEO. Here’s to our girls writing more songs together~
To the boys of Nova, thank you all for being the best boys you can possibly be. To Jess ( @rkhuidong ), thank you having Hui be kind of like a dad/older brother to Wendy. Thank you for assuring her that she did the right thing even if she was punished for it. To Chanel, (OMG this is mention number 2, Chanel!) Ricky is Wendy’s coach and kind of mentor, as well as the fourth-wall reality check. To Lex (you better get used to this. I have a feeling you’ll be mentioned A LOT), our kids have gone through so much, haven’t they? The MGAs, surviving Nova, and a lot more. Wendy cares for Jungwoo a lot, and she hopes they can tough this out together. To Joi ( @bambamrk ), Wendy’s always admired how cool and nice he is. She hopes he’s happy. To Fifi  ( @haknyeonrk ), Circe ( @rkmbin ), and Lulu ( @rksxngyeol ), Wendy would love to get to know your boys all so much better. To Rome ( @rkromeo ), (the now-gone) Jinyoung, and (old) Kihyun, you will always be honorary Nova Boys to Wendy, no matter what.
To Roe ( @rkhugo @rkyooa @suhork ), Wendy wouldn’t let me lump Hugo with all the other boys of Nova. After all, Hugo is special. I’m grateful that Roe entrusted Hugo’s heart in Wendy’s inexperienced hands. I’m honored that Roe actually agreed to have Hugo go through a slow-burn ship, especially when I’m aware that she isn’t the most patient of people when it comes to that. Thank you for putting up with both Wendy’s lack of affection and her inexperience when it comes to relationships, and all the things she fears. Thank you again for putting up with my snail’s pace replies, but I want you to know it’s because I want to give Hugo the replies he deserves. The muse for this ship is alive and kicking, and I intend to keep it that way. Both Wendy and I love you and Hugo so much, Roe. LOL I spent so much time talking about Hugo that I forgot to mention how much both Wendy and Johnny also care about Yooa and Suho, but they do.
Now I’m on the topic of thanks to, I think I should also give a special shout-out to the girls of rkredvelet. Though we don’t talk as often as I’d like, I have to admit you were among the first to plot with me when I was new here. You are all Wendy’s best friends for life.
To Rose ( @rkyeri ): I like seeing you tweet about dancing and your takes on things. I also learn a lot from you! Your comments in the KT groupchat crack me up a lot as well. You’re doing amazing, bb! On a muse perspective, Yeri is one of Wendy’s oldest friends, going back from their days in Canada. Wendy just wants Yeri to know that she’s proud of her for being one step closer to her dreams. She’s also asking when she can start printing the Anna slogan.
To Keith ( @rkjxy ): Hoy, bakla. Other than being a ray of sunshine to both Wendy and me, thank you for everything. Just as Wendy and Joy have fun together anytime, anywhere, I like to think it can become something like that for us both. I love our discussions about local stuff and fandom. May mapapagraduate na ako! /cries proud mom tears/
To Kyle ( @seulgirk ): One of the true MVPs of my life. Just as I honestly have no idea where Wendy would be without Seulgi, I don’t want to imagine what would have happened to me if you hadn’t helped me out all those times. Seulgi is practically Wendy’s person. (LBR, if Hugo had to be threatened by anyone, it’s Seulgi.) I also enjoy commiserating over watching winter sports at godforsaken timeslots (one of these days, I’ll understand hockey enough), as well as listening to to you/reading your tweets discussing your muses/muse ideas. And those puns of yours give me so much life.  
Anyway, next up, I’d like to give a shoutout to rkbrosquad!!!! Honestly, having you guys made life a lot more colorful for me, as well as both my muses. I’m not going to lie, this is probably one of the first group chats I was ever in, in terms of KRP. It’s like my muses gained a new family with this insane, but loving bunch. I also like how this chat can also turn into a meme dumpsite, a spazz area, and a tea corner if we need it. Here’s to more adventures with our muses and if distance isn’t an issue, I bet we’d all look for chances to meet.
To Jen, you are one of the reasons we have a squad in the first place. Without you, I bet I wouldn’t have stayed after the first week. Having a familiar face who’s been with the RP for a long time helped me get settled much more easily. It was your helpful self that inspired me to pay it forward for the future muns who’d enter the RP. So if anyone’s grateful that I was friendly to them, please direct your compliments to Jen for setting a good example! Other than that, you and your muses changed my muses’ lives completely. Shoutout goes to her mentor Jieun and one of her closest friends Soyeon.
To Lyn ( @rkavery @rkxsnn ), hoy mumsh. It’s refreshing to able to talk to more people in the same language. Not to mention, your muses always got up to the wildest antics that had both my muses and me laughing. I’m cheering for you both in rp and in real life. Alam mo ‘yan. And muse-wise, thanks for letting your former boy be the James Potter to Johnny’s Sirius Black (or vice versa). Johnny and I will miss your boy loads, but we also welcome your new girls with open arms. And also thanks for shipping with Wendy at some point, even if she ended up broken. (ULOL ang drama!)
To Shinobi ( @rkgray @rkkangjoon ): You are legitimately one of the sweetest people I have ever had the fortune to meet. You’re nice to everyone, get along well with people, and have the most awesome characters ever. Your ideas are just A+++. Gray will also always be the reason Wendy’s standards for men are so high, since in her eyes, Gray is perfect. (Gray will get Johnny’s love in the KT Boyz segment) Meanwhile, Kangjoon will be that handsome brother Wendy will be protective about because she thinks he deserves the best. Johnny will always thank Kangjoon for accidentally smacking him in the butt, which lead him to the best squad ever. #NEVERFORGET
To Nana: OMG! This is your second mention. All those posts of Hyuna and LE to send the group chat into a gay panic are more than welcome. It’s always fun plotting with you and your muses, no matter which one it is. Wendy is proud of Jihoon ( @jihoonrk ) in Convex, as well as looking for a chance to release some hilarious pre-debut shit. As for Hyuna, we all know how much Wendy admires Hyuna and loves her a lot. Here’s to hopefully getting to plot with Younghyun sooner or later!
To Maddy ( @aronrk ): Yes, this is your second mention too. Wendy and Aron have yet to thread together, yeah? LOL. Anyway, Wendy obviously cares a lot about Aron, Kaeun, and Nayoung. And I think it carries over to me caring a lot about you. It’s cool to talk to someone who works in the same industry as I do (rather as I used to) and have the same interests. Bonus points for living in the same timezone! (Aron will get Johnny’s love in the KT Boyz segment)
To Sammi ( @rkxminhee ): You are also one of the nicest people I have ever met. I love learning about girl groups from you, since I’m generally clueless about the ones outside of the Big Three or aren’t as well-known. I’m not going to lie, everytime I see Minhee, I think of you. I remember seeing Minhee post that she was in my country, and the first thing I thought was, “DOES SAMMI KNOW MINHEE IS IN MY COUNTRY?!”
To Em ( @borark ): You’re doing an amazing job as a momma to a cutie pie! Anyway, Bora is one of the coolest girls Wendy has ever known, just as I think you are one of my faves. We need a proper thread ASAP when we’re both not busy T_T
Bet y’all thought that was done, right? Nope. We still have a long way to go. Trust me, if you’re getting tired reading this, I’m even more exhausted writing it. We’ll all just have to deal with it. RIP @ us.
Back in 2016, NCT U, NCT 127, and NCT Dream had debuted. Back then, I was aware that Johnny, the SM Rookie who trained with SM the longest had yet to debut. So as a joke, I thought to myself, I’ll debut him before SM does. He came in a month after Wendy got signed at the MGAs. I figured I could handle two muses so LOL. He started as an NPC friend for Wendy who had a crush on Seulgi, and then I thought I could bring him in.
The first time I knew it was time for Johnny to graduate from NPC to actual muse was when I was watching a local drama called “On the Wings of Love.” One of the characters was a spoken-word artist, and I felt like it was something that suited the Johnny muse I had. I also wanted to bring in a muse who can speak Filipino, so I had an excuse to say PUTANGINA on the dash, as well as spread OPM to Rookies.
From there, Johnny just started becoming more real to me as a muse. Johnny was also based on several college friends of mine, who were all a bunch of insanely intelligent and talented people. He was inspired by a classmate who was actually a MYX VJ (local music TV channel) who was also taking up a pre-med degree. Johnny was also inspired by the guy who became our class valedictorian: a dork who was smart AF and could sing, dance, act, write songs, and was part of the debate team with me. One of my closest friends who I miss a lot was gifted with a superior IQ and an almost flawless memory, and she was also a CF model. All these people inspired me to bring Johnny to life.
Honestly, Johnny brought on a new series of challenges that I never thought was possible. I was less awkward when I brought him in, since I was already somewhat at ease with the community. The challenge was to make him want to be an idol. But somehow, fate let things happen and loh and behold!
From not wanting anything to do with the entertainment industry, Johnny finds himself immersed in it all. He would like to thank the former Jungkook muse (who might make a return as a different FC hint hint) for forging his application for that Samsung modeling casting. That started his interest and curiosity for modeling. However, he got his feet wet only when his teacher told him to go for it. But still, that forgery got him a start.
Then, the life-changing talent show happened. Johnny owes Hugo a huge-ass thank you for signing up him for that Hongdae talent show. He is now proud to be a KT (KermiT) Boy. I still have no clue how Johnny wants to develop from being a genius turned model to becoming the artist he can be. But I guess that’s what we will all have to anticipate.
I hadn’t planned for Johnny to fall in love. In fact, I was planning to make him an asexual hermit. Sure, he’s had crushes on Seulgi and Lisa, but he never dreamed those could amount to anything. He was supposed to be forever alone. (To Roe, that time Yukji tried flirting with Johnny will always be one of the most iconic moments.) However, Ten happened! Yay! Nine asked to plot so nicely, and I figured why the hell not? Okay, fun fact, the reason I planned for Johnny to be a hermit was because I was too scared to be called out for face-chasing. I’m relieved that Nine reached out first. And now they’re the cutest boyfriends. Again, I would like to apologize for my snail’s pace when it comes to replies. I will talk a little more about this later on. I promise.
Another reason Johnny has stayed alive for so long was because of all the friends he’s made over the time we’ve been in this RP. Honestly, every single one of these friends have made Johnny’s life more exciting, more colorful, and have taken him in directions he never would have considered if left to his own devices. I guess the long-ass thank you messages are now in order.
To rknctea:
To Nine ( @tenrk ): You go first simply because Johnny asked me to. Besides, I want to thank you and Ten for making Johnny believe that he’s capable of love and sexual feelings. Ten makes Johnny want to be the right person for Ten, and to be a better boyfriend. I don’t know whether I ever mentioned this, but Johnny sees Ten in his future. OOC-wise, I’m thankful that you brought us NCT typists together in the group chat. Not to mention, you make me laugh with all the stuff you link in there. In our DMs, I love how we both get soft together over JohnTen. Whether it’s plots for our boys or IRL JohnTen doing stuff, it’s always great sharing the feels with you.
To Yurim ( @rktaeil ): To one of the people I’ve known longest in RK (outside the brosquad), my experience in Rookies wouldn’t be the same without you. I’m glad you brought in Taeil. Although I reply at a glacial pace now, I’m excited to see what happens to Taeil. I still find it hilarious that you declared your NCT bias will be whose calling card you’ll draw. Anyway, the reason your barrel man has yet to come to you is because I will personally bring it to you when I fly there next year. If you have any other requests, please let me know anytime before I fly. (I will let you know when we’re arriving so we can meet.)
To Hunnie ( @yutark ): We have been through a lot during the time we’ve known each other. You point out things I don’t notice otherwise and work way harder than I do, just as Yuta shows Johnny perspectives that are immensely different from his own. I struggle coming up with ways to ruin my muses’ lives and to just write in general. I don’t know how you do it so religiously and so diligently on top of schoolwork. We also spazz over a lot of different fandoms together, and I’m happy that you’re a lot happier now. Also, welcome to the UAAP life. I’m glad you decided to watch basketball with me and that you’re somehow rekindling your love for the game. Game Two, here we come!
To Min ( @rkjaemin ): You would have gone first but Johnny insisted otherwise. Buwisit siya. We have been together since 2011 and I hope this doesn’t change at all. You knew me from when I was a total noob to the RP world, and have been one of those who saw my writing improve or deteriorate over the years. You are one of the loveliest people I’ve ever met IC or OOC. I’m happy you joined this madhouse called Rookies with me, and I hope this is good healing for you from work. I love you and can we please have dinner with the rest of the girls soon? Just as I will always be rooting for you and will be available to help, please tell your evil spawn of a muse that Johnny’s willing to help him too. Same goes for Wendy and Somi.
To Peach ( @rkhaechan ): When I first told Min to join Rookies, I never thought you two would find each other. But I’m glad you did. You make my girl so happy, and with that, I’m happy too. I will go down with the S.S. PeachMin. I better be invited to that wedding. Anyway, Johnny loves Haechan a lot, especially because he makes evil spawn Jaemin so happy. Haechie may be my new fave of your muses, but Soyou will always be special to me. After all, Wendy wouldn’t have lasted in the MGAs without your girl going all soccer mom on the whole team. Wendy hopes that Jihyun unni is proud of her.
To Jen ( @rkmxrk ): You are honestly one of the most fun people I have ever talked to. We can talk about fandom, winter sports, and just about how our days went. It doesn’t really matter. Long live KKT calls. Not to mention, long live being a professional enabler who convinces the rest of us to spend our hard-earned money on our faves. LMAO. One thing I also learned from you, is to be careful of what I say because you’ll have RECEIPTS. Just as Johnny looks after Mark and wishes for him to succeed, I wish the same for you. And Johnny’s proud that Mark’s finally getting what he’s been trying to say for the last few months.
To Fifi ( @jaehyunrk ), Dayo ( @rkxsicheng ) , Phil ( @rkdoyoung ), Grey ( @rkjeno ), Adri ( @rktaeyxng ): although we don’t talk as much, I’m still thankful that you’re all here. I’d like for us to get to know each other even better, even if I’m either a shy hermit, a lazy egg, or just awake when you’re asleep. But you all bring lots of laughter to the group chat, and I’d like for Johnny to plot with your boys too. (Or in Fifi’s case, Get Johnny and Jaehyun a new thread challenge)
To Lex: Damn it, Lex. I’ve lost track how many times I’ve mentioned you. I hope you’re enjoying your stay in the rknctea group chat. And I hope that somehow, Johnny and Jungwoo find their ways to each other.
To the KT Ent muses and muns:
To Carly ( @taeminrk ) : I was really planning to save this for later when I got to my thank you mods part, but I thought oh well. Anyway, I want to thank you for being one of the best mods to help me get settled when I was new here. As well as answering any questions I had, no matter how stupid they were. I’m glad I got over the initial intimidation of “OMG MOD!” to someone I can actually have fun talking to. I just hope Johnny eventually gets over that “OMG SUNBAE!” vibe Taemin gives out. Johnny always saw Taemin as the senior he has to impress and not disappoint. Trust me, Johnny’s trying but he feels like he’ll never be good enough for Taemin’s standards. LMAO
To Maddy: Johnny always thought of Aron as one of the coolest, happiest, and most talented people he’s ever met. Aron radiates sunshine in Johnny’s opinion, and he wonders how someone can be so bright all the time. Yes, Aron has permission to climb Johnny like a tree and Johnny will enjoy it.
To Shinobi: Johnny will always say Gray is his idol. Hands down. He can give Jongdae a run for his money. He will also go down with the old man ship of Gray and Huidong.
To Lulu ( @minhyukxrk ): Johnny’s rooting for his fellow twin tower and he hopes that Minhyuk will one day be the rich, talented billionaire he knows Minhyuk can be. Tall people unite despite this short revolution!
To Yurim ( @rkxkjd ): If Taemin is the strict dad, then Jongdae is the cool dad Johnny wants to be like when he grows up. After all, Jongdae is probably the muse who’s known Johnny the longest. These two go way back and are both nerds.
To Lex ( @rksungho ): Oh man, I gave up counting how many mentions you got. This is probably going to be the last. Sungho and Johnny are different as they can be, despite a somewhat similar skillset. Not going to lie, Johnny wants to get along with him, despite Sungho just being so angry at everything.
To Cherry ( @rkjimin ): We don’t get to talk as often as I’d like, but I’d like for that to change as soon as we’re both not busy. Jimin is a lovely muse, and Johnny looks forward to getting to know him better in the future~
To Hunnie ( @rksunwoo ): Sunwoo is special to Johnny, because they joined KT at around the same time. There has to be something to be said about two strangers who started a journey at the same time. Johnny wishes he was as talented and talented as Sunwoo. I like to think that Johnny and Sunwoo have a unique bond that only the two of them can understand.
To Shino ( @rkjinjin ): Johnny and Jinwoo, aka big guy and small fry. Just kidding. Though for real, Johnny is always impressed with Jinwoo’s talent and is grateful to learn so much from him. As for you Shino, having you around is lots of fun. I have learned not to say any silly stuff in the group chat unless I wish to be exposed. (Never forget: VORE TAEMIN)
To Hyunjin mun (T_T IDK How you want to be addressed) ( @rkxhyunjin ): You are the only KT Boy Johnny has no thread with. I’d love for us to change that ASAP. Please?
To the females at KT, Johnny loves and respects you a lot. He’d love to get closer with you all. For now, he declares Haseul ( @haseulrk ) and Jennie ( @rkjennie ) as his faves, because he’s closest to them. Johnny never thought he’d be a step-parent to a dog, but Ahyoung  ( @rkxblue ) somehow got him to do it, so she’s special too. He also sees Minji ( @rkariel ) as the older sister you don’t want to disappoint, while Yeri is the younger sister he finds hilarious. He’d also love to get to know Audrey, ( @rkaudrey ), Momo ( @rkxmomo ), Luda ( @rkxluda ), and Chungha ( @rkchungha ) better!
To Carly and Keith, and by some extension, Kate, Johnny has come to see Luna ( @rkluna ) and Jisoo ( @rkjisoo ) (and Eve ( @rkxeve,) by extension) as his lesbian moms. He low-key blames and credits them for being why he is the way he is today. You don’t get raised by two extremely opposite but equally bad-ass women and not be some mix of weird. He doesn’t get to talk to his moms so much, but he wants them to know he loves them a lot.
I can’t leave this without yelling at Lari! Baekhyun ( @rkbyunbaek ) is the best host brother Johnny could ever ask for. Both of us can’t imagine this boy living with anyone else but Baekhyun’s family. Johnny feels bad that they hardly ever see each other anymore, but that doesn’t change how much he loves Baekhyun. Johnny is actually going to be upset when he’ll have to move out of the Byun residence because he’s going to miss this host family a lot.
I’d also like to thank people I have yet to properly thread with (or seldom get to thread with) but talk to frequently OOC, especially on Twitter. There’s way too many of you to be tagged, but you know who you all are. I love how we can talk about anything, ranging from K-Pop to local showbiz, to current events, and more random topics.
Finally, I’d like to thank the mods, each one, having helped me in some shape or form. Kyle, Keith, and Carly, you all got long-ass love letters from me, so I won’t bother repeating myself anymore. To Sera, you truly are hard carry AF. Thank you noticing my hiatus messages and just being there in general. I’ve always told people you are great, and I’m glad my faith isn’t misplaced at all. To Bianca, thank you for answering my stupid AF questions during events. Because I swear even I would roll my eyes at myself for some of the things I ask sometimes. To Mira, you were one of the mods who welcomed me back when I was new. So I’d like to thank you for that. Wendy misses one of her mean girl friends~ To Razel, those graphics are A++++ Here’s to more talking about PH showbiz, food, and to us finally having a proper thread!
I bet I forgot so many people, but this is about how much I can write. Fun fact! I started writing this post at around 11:30am, and I finished writing this at around 6pm. If you made it this far, congratulations!
I’ll spare you all from my rambling, and I’ll just end it here.
My muses and I are cheering for everyone and their muses in their endeavors, whether IC or OOC. I would also like to apologize for the times I have offended you, whether I was aware of it or not. (I’m sure I’ve apologized if I was aware of it, but yeah.) I’m trying to be a better person than I was the day before. I don’t know what the future holds, but I’ll do my best to be a better mun to both Wendy and Johnny, as well as be a better member of this community.
With all my love,
Clara (rkwendy and rkjohnny)
