vi. check yes, juliet by we the kings
“where are we going?” 
“are you going to ask that every two seconds?” 
“you kidnapped me, castellan.” 
luke stopped in his tracks, raising an eyebrow at you. you were about a quarter mile away from camp now, and it seemed like every ten steps, you asked him the same question. if he didn’t find you so cute, he would turn around and walk straight back to camp. 
“i will throw you over my shoulder and carry you the rest of the way there, five star,” he grumbled, rolling his eyes teasingly. he wasn’t opposed to the idea, but by the look on your face, you certainly were. “don’t test me.” 
“and i will scream bloody murder if you do,” you narrowed your eyes at him in a challenging manner. 
“here i am, trying to do something nice for you and you accuse me of kidnapping you,” luke continued his steps, slowing down to let you catch up to him. he didn’t realize how much shorter you were than him. the top of your head just went past his shoulders, but your personality made up for the difference. “we’re almost there, keep up.” 
“not everyone has long legs, castellan,” you huffed, increasing your pace. “slow down.” 
“do you want to get there or not?” he asked, throwing you a teasing smile over his shoulder. you guys really needed to get there soon. the sun was beginning to set and he didn’t want you to have to walk in the dark, even if he was with you. your safety came first, above everything, and he wasn’t gonna put you in a potentially dangerous situation. 
you whined, tugging on the side of his t-shirt, “how much longer?” 
“that’s it,” luke declared, squatting down to throw you over his shoulder. you squealed, hitting his back with your balled up fists. he knew you didn’t do it to hurt him. he can feel you pulling your punches. 
you felt the vibrations from his laughter on his back. luke was enjoying this too much. he carried you over his shoulder like it was nothing. perhaps all those morning workouts were paying off. you twisted your neck to scold him, thankful that he couldn’t see the smile on your lips, “put me down, i swear to god.” 
“nope,” he replied, popping the ‘p.’ he tapped your calf with his fingers, “it’s just around the corner.” 
luke put you down in front of a building. there were five store fronts, three of which had faulty neon lights. you could barely make out the store names. the other two stores had signs up declaring vacancy. it was a little sketchy, but luke seemed to love it. he had his hands on his hips, staring up at the sign that seemed to say “achilles arcade.” 
“what is this place?” luke held the door open for you as you wandered inside the store. the place was dimly lit with old-school arcade games lining the walls. an old man was sitting on a stool behind the counter, reading the morning paper. 
“just wait,” luke grinned, pulling on your hand to lead you to get some tokens, “chiron! my man.” 
the man placed the newspaper on the surface, eyes lighting up at the sound of luke’s voice. he beamed, “luke castellan! i was afraid you weren’t gonna come back.” 
“you know i keep my promises,” luke let go of your hand, introducing you to chiron, “chiron, this is yn. she goes to camp with me.” 
“pleasure to meet you,” he tipped his head, reaching under the counter to dig out a bucket full of golden tokens. 
you took out your wallet, “how much do we owe you?” 
“on the house,” he waved off, “he donated a ridiculous sum of money to keep this place up and running. too generous, this one, so it wouldn’t be right for me to charge you when he’s keeping me in business.” 
luke shook his head, sliding a hundred across the counter anyway. he took your wallet and stuffed it in his back pocket, knowing that you’ll probably try to slip him some cash if he didn’t. you grumbled, but decided not to pick a fight. it didn’t seem like one you’d win. 
luke grabbed the bucket by the handle and turned to you, “where do you want to start, five star?” 
“you took me to an arcade?” 
“yeah,” luke said, sheepishly, “whenever i run out of cigs, i always go to an arcade to keep my mind off things. it’s childish, but it works. figured you could try it. plus, there’s a smoke shop across the street so we can go there when we’re done here.” 
“only one thing is better than the feeling of a new cherry ice vape,” you got close to him, nearly toe to toe. luke could smell the perfume on your skin, the scent of your shampoo, and his cologne that lingered on the hoodie of his that you wore. he reminded you that you always got cold and that you should bring a sweater, but you assured him that you wouldn’t. halfway to the arcade, you were shivering and luke knew that he made the right decision bringing his hoodie with him. 
you rolled your eyes, but accepted it. his hoodie stopped mid-thigh and engulfed you, but it looked better on you than it ever did on him. something about you wearing a hoodie that had his band name on it made his heart skip a beat. he had to listen to you make fun of him for tripping over air after he saw you in his clothes, but he didn’t expect anything less from you. 
he licked his lips, eyes darting to your own, “and what is that, five star?”
“beating your ass at galaga.” 
luke’s laughter echoed throughout the empty arcade as you ran from him with the tokens in your hand. you looked back at him with a mischievous smile on your face and he felt his heartstrings tug in his chest. you stuck your tongue out at him, starting the game as he stayed in his spot, admiring you. 
there weren’t many moments where he could be out in public like this, so when his mom reluctantly agreed to stop at this building on the way to camp due to a flat tire, luke and the boys were ecstatic to find that there was an empty arcade hidden in montauk. luke talked to chiron and learned his story while the boys played random games to kill the time. luke found out that the arcade wasn’t doing well financially with the increase in rent prices and that they would have to close down at the end of the summer if things don’t pick up again. chiron mentioned that he and his partner started this business twenty years ago, and he was sad to see it go. 
luke excused himself and snuck back into the tour bus to grab his checkbook. he wrote a check that covered rent and other expenses for the year and gave it to chiron. of course the man refused it, but luke wasn’t taking no for an answer, not after chiron shared that the arcade was the last living piece of his partner. luke castellan was a hopeless romantic, which not many people knew. he knew he was done for the minute he heard their love story. 
he stood there for a few moments, watching as you cheered, dodging the blasts of your enemies. you were so animated while you played, so expressive with your eyes and your voice. he’d only seen you like this a handful of times, talking to clarisse about god knows what, talking to the younger campers and asking them questions about their projects and interests, and when you asked him about his music. all of your monotoned replies and deadpan looks were all he got for the longest time, it seemed like your nonchalance was only for him, so it was nice to see you like this. it felt like you were warming up to him. 
he thought about the talk the two of you had in your room, how different you’d been then. after being iced out for weeks, luke was a little shocked at how soft you were with him earlier, playing with his rings, holding his hand, talking to him. it was a welcomed surprise, of course, but he expected you to kick him to the curb. he still didn’t understand what actually happened after the concert, but he figured you already had a tough day, so that conversation can wait. 
he made his way to you, leaning across the screen to slightly block your view, “you might be better than me at this game, but your ass is mine at guitar hero.” 
“not fair,” you were focused on the game, eyes glued on the screen in front of you. “you’re in a band. of course you’re gonna be better than me at that.” 
“life’s not fair, five star,” luke poked your side, making you squirm. you died in the game because of it. “my turn, yeah?” 
you shoved his chest, reluctantly moving over. “you cheated.” 
he looked over his shoulder, smirking, “how did i cheat?” 
“you distracted me!” 
“i did not!” he argued, chuckles escaping his lips. his tongue darted out the corner of his mouth. his concentration face was annoyingly attractive. 
“did too,” you mumbled, watching over his shoulder to see how he was doing. he was doing really well. damn teenage boys and their affinity for video games. your chin rested comfortably on his shoulder blade as you watched him play. 
luke’s breath hitched in his throat, suddenly too aware that you were so close to him. he could feel your breath against the nape of his neck, your lips dangerously close to where his tattoo was. he snuck a glance at you, noting how you were too focused on his score inching closer to your own. 
“ha!” you yelled, pulling away from him. you bumped his hip with yours, moving him out of the way, “my turn.” 
“okay, you cheated.” 
you hit pause on the game, placing your hands on your waist, “how?” 
“you were distracting me! putting your head on my shoulder and shit.” 
“awww,” you cooed, playfulness in your tone, “do i make you nervous?” 
luke’s face flushed. he shook his head, tilting his head down to hide the color on his face. he rubbed the back of his neck, “play your fucking game.” 
you said something about him being a sore loser and cheered loudly when you beat his score. when you both ran out of lives, luke led you to guitar hero and as expected, kicked your ass at the game. the two of you played in the arcade until there was one golden token left in the bottom of the bucket. as you wandered around the room, your eyes landed on a black and white photobooth tucked away in the corner. 
“let’s take some pictures,” you grabbed his hand, leading him over there before he could say no. you shoved him inside the photobooth, tapping his knee to make him stop manspreading on the small bench. 
it could barely fit two people so it was a tight squeeze. you were sitting so close to luke, thighs pressed together as you tapped on the small screen to begin the process. luke could feel the warmth of your skin against his and he was glad that there was no colored photos option because his cheeks were bright red. maybe he can blame the lights making him feel hot if you brought it up, but he wasn’t sure if his voice even worked enough to utter out his excuse. 
“you better smile, castellan,” you threatened, turning to look at him before you inserted the token in the slot. “not that little side smirk shit that you do in all your pictures.” 
“what side smirk?” 
“that thing you do in your pictures!” you shouted, “in every single instagram post, you always do it.” 
luke raised an eyebrow, a cocky smile appearing on his lips, “you’ve stalked my instagram?” 
“not the point,” you ducked, pretending to mess with the settings of the photobooth. luke can see your shy smile on the screen in front of him. “i’m just saying, smile normally.” 
“that’s how i smile, five star! what do you want me to do?” 
“that is not how you smile!” you argued. you took a deep breath, steadying yourself as you faced him. he was already looking at you, soft eyes and a hint of a smile on his features. a stray curl was out of place on his head and you couldn’t stop yourself from reaching over to put it back in place. luke held his breath as your fingers grazed the side of his face, taking much longer than you needed to fix his hair. your thumb subconsciously rubbed against the scar on his cheek. luke let his eyes close at the feeling. 
“there,” you whispered, pulling your hand back to your side. “that’s how you smile.” 
he tried his best to keep that same expression on his face to see what you were talking about. he glanced at the screen and found himself stunned at what he found. you were right. this is not how he looked in his instagram pictures. he almost didn’t recognize himself as he stared. he looked different like this. 
there were no creases between his eyebrows or on his forehead, like there was no stress on his shoulders. his eyes looked brighter somehow as if he was at peace, exactly where he needed to be at that moment. his lips were quirked up in a tender smile, parts of his teeth showing between the gap of his top lip and bottom lip. did he always look like this when he was with you? awe-struck and enraptured by your presence? 
he should feel pathetic, but he couldn’t bring himself to, not when you were looking at him like you enjoyed this clandestine look on his face, a look that he reserved only for you. he couldn’t feel pathetic when you were looking at him in the same way. a secret language between the two of you, that nobody else in the world could even begin to understand.
the countdown on the screen started and luke was pulled from his thoughts quickly when you pressed your cheek against his, grinning as the timer flashed across the screen. he let himself smile, teeth on full display before the flash went off. the second countdown began and luke watched you fumble around to pick the next pose. you settled on a silly pose, sticking your tongue out as you held up the ‘rock and roll’ sign with your hand. he followed your lead, letting a snicker leave his lips at how fitting the pose was. 
the final photo was uncoordinated. luke wasn’t ready for the flash to go off. you placed your hand on his shoulder, craning your neck to look up at him. if he leaned down an inch or two, his lips would touch yours. the realization had the wires in his brain crossed. when the machine took the picture, luke was staring lovingly into your eyes, a look of indecision on his face. his lips were curled into a bashful smile, the tip of his nose touching yours. 
“five star,” luke breathed out, his arm snaking around your waist. your leg was now placed on top of his own. 
you gulped, nudging his nose with yours, “luke…” 
he’d never heard his name leave your lips before other than when you were mocking the gossips you heard about him. he’d never heard your real voice call him by his name. now that he has, he was addicted to the sound of it. he never liked his name that much, but somehow, when you said it, it sounded like poetry. he never thought a single syllable could sound so beautiful, have his knees buckling at the utterance of it. but with you, he supposed there was always a first for everything. 
when the bright red words stating “your photos are ready!” illuminated the inside of the photobooth, the two of you jumped apart from each other, blushing wildly. luke took a moment for himself inside the photobooth, rubbing his face with his palms, as you walked out to retrieve the pictures. luke followed you after taking a few deep breaths. 
he saw you leaning against the wall, the two strips of pictures in your hand. you had a goofy grin on your face, admiring them. luke sauntered next to you, taking a look at the photos. 
he accepted the strip of photos you handed him, “we probably should’ve discussed our poses beforehand.” 
“i dunno,” you were still staring at the pictures, biting your bottom lip. “i like ‘em.”
luke hummed, taking out his wallet. he folded the strip in threes, slotting the last photo in the clear compartment of his wallet. it looked perfect against the black leather, like it was the last thing needed to make his wallet look complete. he slipped it back in his back pocket, taking yours out to return to you. 
“smoke shop?” he asked. 
“please,” you nodded, beginning to walk out of the arcade. you waved goodbye to chiron who moved onto doing the daily crossword. “bye chiron! great to meet you!” 
he bid the two of you goodbye, a knowing gaze on his face. you were already out the door when he sent luke a wink that had him shaking his head, face turning red at the man’s antics. luke shut the door behind him, ushering you over to the sidewalk towards the smoke shop, “i’m out of cigs too, so this is actually perfect timing.” 
you waited outside the smoke shop, sitting on the curb. luke had a fake id (for research purposes, of course. he was just curious to see what the kentucky ids looked like.) so he bought your vape and his cigarettes. when he emerged, he joined you on the curb, pulling out his phone to call an uber back to camp. 
the sun was long gone and he could hear the owls hooting in the distance. it was not a good idea to walk back to camp, even if it wasn’t even a mile away. he watched you unwrap your vape, taking a small hit from it. he lit his cigarette with the lighter he carried with him and smoked with you in silence. 
“uber is gonna take twenty minutes,” he said, placing his phone between the two of you, face up. “i’m guessing there’s not many people around here.” 
you glanced at his phone, giggling at his lockscreen. it was a picture of the entire band, wearing matching novelty sunglasses taken at a .5 angle. they looked ridiculously like the guys you’ve grown to adore. “i like your lockscreen.” 
luke tapped his phone to wake it up. he let out a laugh, “mom took it when we played vegas for the first time. we were too young to go out and we were too afraid to use our fakes so we went to m&m world and got wired on sugar.” 
“you guys are really close, huh?” 
“got to be,” luke shrugged, “we’re together 24/7, but even before that… these guys are my brothers. love ‘em, even when they’re a pain in my ass. what’s your lockscreen?” 
you pulled out your phone, showing him the picture of you, clarisse, and silena flipping off the camera. it was taken during one of your (failed) attempts at studying at the library. you were all in sweatpants and large hoodies with the stress of midterms evident on your faces. “that’s silena, my other best friend from unc. her boyfriend, charlie, took this picture because he said we looked absolutely miserable. and we do, but it makes me happy looking back at it. we were struggling together and we somehow made it out together.” 
“i do not miss school at all,” luke blew out the smoke in his mouth, “i was a shit student.” 
“but now look at you,” you teased, “mr. rockstar.” 
“yeah, yeah,” luke copied your voice, “can’t complain.” 
you hummed, tucking your vape in the pocket of luke’s hoodie, “you can, especially with me. i’m the number one hater, so i enjoy complaining quite a bit.” 
“oh, i know.” 
you smacked his arm, rolling your eyes as he stumbled in his seat, laughing. you cleared your throat, voice turning serious, “seriously. i owe you for today, so complain to me all you want.” 
“you don’t owe me shit, five star,” luke put out his cigarette, standing up as his phone alerted him that the uber was coming soon. he held out his hand to help you up. “but i will take you up on that offer. of course, i can only do that if you don’t ignore me for weeks again.” 
you slapped his hand away, shaking your head, smiling, “shut the fuck up.” 
luke flagged down the uber, placing a hand on your lower back to lead you into the backseat. you entered, making polite conversations with the lady in the driver’s seat. 
“for chase?” 
luke nodded, “yup, thanks so much.” 
as the car drove off in the direction of camp, you turned to luke, mouthing, “chase?” 
he took out his wallet and handed you his fake id: chase reed, brown eyes, brown hair, 5’11. 
luke safely tucked the id back in its slot when you tossed it back at him, giggling at his alter-ego. he didn’t say anything when you moved closer to him, sitting in the middle seat, and held his hand the rest of the way back to camp.

pretty baby (e-42 miles x black! fem!reader)
Tumblr media
— car rides with miles nvr fail to make u queazy
— ⚠️: light cursing, slightly suggestive, slight angst, kinda sensitive reader
Tumblr media
"you are unbelievable, y'know that?"
sitting in the car scrunched up with your legs close to your chest, you turned your whole body away from the driver's seat, trying to avoid any and all contact with the driver. after what happened today, you didn't think you could ever face miles again, too embarrassed to talk to him the entire car ride.
"it wasn't even that big a deal baby, i'm sure nobody even cared like that," he chuckled. he thought it was childish how such small moments could affect your mood for such wildly long periods of time.
"I sucked the syrup off your fingers miles, in front of all your friends. i'm humiliated!" you cried, putting your hands over your face and bending down into your lap; anything to avoid eye contact with him.
looking back at the road with a smirk on his face, he said, "if it makes you feel better, I didn't mind it..-"
"MILES!" you whined as you snapped your head in his direction. "how could you say that to me right now?!"
"oh– ok i'm sorry baby, but that doesn't mean you have to act like this-!"
you rolled your head back as you groaned and covered your face with your hands again; he didn't get it. the way you were perceived was extremely important to you, especially in front of people who you deemed important. you didn't want your boyfriends' friends to perceive you as some sort of sex fiend.
"just drive miles. you don't get it."
furrowing his eyebrows, he turned the block and pulled into a mcdonalds parking lot near your house. "then make me understand, hm? why are you letting this stupid shit affect you?"
"oh my god miles just take me home, please I don't wanna talk about it–"
"no, see 'cause now you have my attention, what's the matter?" if there was one thing you knew about miles, it's that he won't let shit go, especially when it comes to you.
"miles, i swear to god if you don't drive me home i'm gonna get out this car and walk," you threatened. you could feel tears begin to form in your eyes and the burning feeling you get in your gut when you're about to cry. miles noticed your chest rising and falling, a telling sign you were about to cry; this only pushed him further.
"you not goin' nowhere. not until you talk to me, so here's what we gon' do; we will sit in this car and we won't move until you start talking," he said as brought his hand up to your face, wiping the tear that escaped your waterline before it could drip and ruin your makeup.
your face scrunched up at the small gesture and you pressed your lips in a tight line. suddenly the burning feeling burned even hotter, and the saliva in your mouth began to increase. more tears slipped from your eyes. in a soft yet pleading voice, you asked, "please, can I just go home?"
he furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at your state and it was then he could tell this was a real problem. "ay baby.. eres mi vida. talk to me," he cupped your face with both of his hands as they caught the tears falling. with your face smushed in his hands, he leaned in to give you a smooch, not caring if your lipgloss got all over him– he just wanted to see you smile for him.
"I don't want them to think badly of me miles.. they all looked at me funny and were cheering when I did it. I humiliated myself in front of them," you spilled, not wanting to keep it in anymore. and to be honest, it felt weird crying in your boyfriends' hands and not into your pillow alone in your room.
putting his forehead to yours, he said, "hey, look at me; you don't always have to worry about impressing everybody. everybody don't matter, you understand me? only me and you, ok? ion' wanna see you crying over some pinche pendejos who don't got they own girls and haven't matured since middle school."
you giggled softly as you sniffled your nose.
"there's that pretty smile," he mumbled as he gave a kiss to the top of your head.
"my pretty girl…”
you could feel your face get warmer after what he said, the indication, that big yet subtle word “my” sticking out to you like a sore thumb.
“what, you like that? like when I call you that mi vida?” you knew he would never let you live this down, and this would be one of your many nicknames he would use on you to get you flustered to his own advantage.
“shut up—”
“what, you don’t wanna be my pretty girl?” he inquired whilst leaning back to look at you, feigning disappointment.
“of course I do miles-”
“then lemme hear you say it chiquita— c’mon I wanna hear you say it,” he said sounding very suave. you grew weak in the knees whenever miles deepened his voice while speaking to you, and he definitely used this to his advantage. thank goodness you we’re sitting down because lord knows if you were standing, you wouldn’t be able to hold yourself together without bending over backwards for him.
your eyes wandered to anywhere else in the car, not wanting to see the look on miles face when you said what you were about to say, “i’m your pretty girl.”
“yeah, I know that’s right.”
Tumblr media
– i wanna be his pretty girl so bad lol

language of flowers
summary: the five times remus gave you flowers secretly and the one time you gave him not so secretly (plus extra)
contents: fluff, angst, bad writing bcs it's 1 am in ly country and i can't sleep.
a/n: my fav writing prompt so i just have to do it :) i hope u enjoy ☁️☁️☁️☁️
  . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆
one
you walked with your arms linked with mary as you two made your way to enter the charms' classroom. it was quite sunny outside, seeing as the flowers in the meadows were blossoming prettily.
"don't you just love spring?" the girl sighed, gazing at the scenery outside the stoney windowsill miles below. "look how colourful those flowers are!"
"they sure do look unreal! like that poppy field in wizard of oz!" you replied, matching her energy.
"mhm but this one's not poisonous, i assure you!" she grinned before you two separate ways to your own assigned desks.
you made a bee line towards your table, furrowing your brows at the peculiar light pink object on your desk. you reached close enough to see that it was a carnation you had thought was a rose.
a single stem with pale pink petals. over it, sat a small folded parchment that was tied with similar coloured ribbon as the flower.
you opened it curiously, tilting your head to the side. it said:
I don't want to look at anything else now that I saw you. I don't want to think of anything else now that I thought of you. I've been sleeping so long in years of dark night and now I see daylight, I only see daylight
your heart fluttered at the messy scribbles in the palm of your hand. cheeks growing maroon as you try to hide your face behind nothing.
"watcha have there?" a blooming voice came from beside you, catching you off guard.
you jumped back a little, causing the person next to you laugh. "oh hey rem," you said in trembling words.
"hey," he replied to the greeting as he sat down beside your desk. "you've got a flower!" he smirked teasingly.
remus saw the severe blush in your cheeks, him applauding for himself inside. he was the one that gave them to you- the flower and the note. it was a giddy feeling to see how you react in such a happy way.
"someone left me a flower!" you grinned at him, showing your bright smile. "uh but i'm not sure if it's meant for me i- maybe they just put it in the wrong desk," you felt yourself deflated at the thought.
it was logical though. nobody ever seems to be interested in seeing you. let alone giving you a handwritten love letter with a carnation.
seeing the excitement fading off from you, remus spoke up abruptly, "i don't think it's in the wrong desk. this specific desk has always been your since first year. c'mon smile for me yeah? the flower is meant for you. and only for you."
you smiled at him, feeling your cheeks reddened again. a small part of you hoped that it was from remus. you liked him since god knows when but you never spoke of it. afraid of what might be as the outcome.
"thanks rem, you really know how to make people feel better," you said to him, eyes glimmered with adoration for the boy.
"what does the letter say?" he spoke softly, looking at you in curiosity.
you unfold the piece of parchment that was on your palm before reading the heartwarming words to him. "not gonna lie- i had a hard time reading it the first time," you chuckled.
remus laughed nervously, fingers gripping on his chair. he scribbled it messily on purpose in hopes of making you not know that he is the one writing it for you as for he knew you will recognise his usual handwriting in the back of you head.
you put the flower and the note inside your robe's pocket, making sure that no damage will be done.
you went to bed that night with the words repeating inside your head like a mantra. nobody has ever said such thing to you. with the carnation placed on your night table, you toss and turn in your bedsheets. hoping a certain boy who loves chocolate and books and sweaters and libraries and teas and blankets and-
two
saturday afternoons are the best time to spend in the library. nobody ever cares to even steal a glance at the large wooden doors- their minds are full of weekend spirits.
that's exactly why you went to the desolated place. reading one of your favourite muggle fiction beside the windowsill as the rain pattered on the glass, its sound calming your ears.
you finished your book in the quiet until you were completely done, getting up to get a new once since you really have nothing to do today.
mary was still sleeping. she dedicated saturdays as her 'stay in bed the whole day', therefore now you're alone. you weren't exactly close friends with lily and her friends though you talk to them once every while; your friendship was kept small.
your pointer finger ran through the spine of the books, stopping once you saw one that catches your interest. you head back to your secluded desk, only to find another flower on top of it.
your heart beat twice faster now, glancing around to see if anyone's there or not. you couldn't seem to spot anyone though.
the flower this time is not a carnation. it was a white tulip. a paper was also attached within the stem just like last time.
you read it, it was shorter than the last one:
you're a mansion with a view.
it took you an embarrassing amount of time to fully understand what it meant.
mansion with a view- beautiful inside and out.
if you had a mirror in hand right now, the reflection it shows will be you and your crimson red cheeks.
after reading that, you find it hard to avert your focus to the book in front of you. the words were like splutter of inks and has no meanings.
at last, you decided to go back to the common room, seeing what the others were doing. you bumped into someone on the way there. someone tall and smells nice and familiar. with the impact of the crash, the things inside his bag are now on the floor, scattering everywhere.
"oh i'm so sorry i wasn't looking!" you sent an apologetic glance at the person, only to find out that he's remus lupin.
"s'fine," the boy smiled, kneeling down to collect his things.
"here, let me help you," you said, picking up the ones that were more far away from him, now all of his belongings are in his bag again.
"hey, s'this yours?" he held up a small parchment.
"uh yeah," you chuckled. "funny. you remember when someone gave me a flower a few days ago? they gave me one again."
"you think it's funny?" remus furrowed his brows, secretly eager for your answer.
"well- no. it's just not typical for me to receive these stuff. i like them though. it's very sweet," you blushed.
remus adored the faint pinks in your cheeks. he was the reason for that- technically. he didn't know what to reply, afraid if he said something, his stealthiness will be exposed.
"i'm going to the common room, you comin'?" he spoke.
"yeah. i was going there too," you nodded and began walking with him to the gryffindor tower.
remus is a mansion with a view.
you felt bad for the person that wrote you the letter because you were thinking of someone else with those exact words that they wrote for you. you couldn't help but wonder who it is though. maybe by then you'd fall for them too with all the sweet compliments they give.
three
a pretty and small bundle of blue flowers was propped on your desk one morning, like it's waiting for you. a small note was also attached to it, like the usual.
your smile grew larger, trying to hide your blush with your hair as you strode to your table.
you can't lie- you've been looking forward to it. it's almost like the only thing that's been keeping you excited lately.
"ooh, you've still got a secret admirer huh?" mary snickered, pushing your side teasingly.
"mhm," you agreed mindlessly, smiling in a joking manner her way, not caring about how much you will be poked fun at.
"don't you wonder who it is?" she raised her brows.
"i do," you admitted. "if they confess to me in real life, i'm sure i will give it a try," you shrugged as you opened the small paper.
"read it aloud. i want to know how much of a hopeless romantic some people are," mary giggled.
"if all my flowers grew back as thorns, windows boarded up after the storm. i'd built a fire just to keep you warm..." you said slowly, comprehending the words.
"aw that's sweet although i've no idea what it means except the last line," mary said.
"oh shut it mary," you nudged her side, cheeks flushing in embarrassment.
you hoped whoever this is, knows how much you appreciate them and should not be afraid to confess to you openly. you would be upset if this person didn't make the move because you feel like the person behind this is sweet and hopeful.
you've got a slender vase in your dorm filled with water half way up to put the flower in them to keep them alive as long as it can. these pretty blue forget-me-nots are a perfect addition to your collection.
"moony, when are you going to actually confess to her? are you going to wait until earth slipped off its axis and fell into jupiter?" sirius flopped down on remus' bed face first, groaning.
"what are you talking about. i already have," remus replied nonchalantly.
"no- pads meant like actually! not in some handwritten note that doesn't even have your name in it- let alone your initials!" james chimed in.
"that's the whole point y'know. so she doesn't find out," remus rolled his eyes.
"don't get sassy moony," sirius slapped his arm. "what if she found out that it was you all along?"
"she wouldn't."
"she would," james retorted.
"she wouldn't."
"she definitely is going to."
"no."
"your head is as thick as the hogwarts wall," sirius scoffed. "one way or another- she's going to find out about it- or at least try to."
"say, if she did find out it was you, will you two be like- i don't know- together?" james thought out loud.
"i doubt i can."
remus. remus lupin with his complicated head. he sends you flowers and love letter daily but he doesn't want to be with you? pathetic.
"why not? it's y/n we're talking about. she fancies you," james said.
"i don't know," remus said, burying himself under his blanket while also pushing sirius off of his mattress.
truth be told- it would be his biggest regret if he never spoke of his love. he would love to be loved by you or even just loving you.
somewhere in the haze, he has grown some strong feelings for you. he didn't know how it happened or when or maybe it had always been there since you two got paired up in care of magical creatures.
he grew fond of you. the little things that you do make him fall for you even more. the way he wants to be the highlight of your day, the moon in your twilight, the sunrise in your mornings. he wants it all.
he wants to know the feeling of being mutually in love. though he believed no one will ever love a monster like himself.
that part of him is slowly breaking his own heart. how could anyone ever be in love with a hybrid? how will anyone ever live with the curse of their beloved one?
even with all the reassurances in the world, he would never accept himself. it was a blessing for him to even have friends. he wondered if some miracle could be strong enough and kill the wolf inside him so he can love openly.
so he can love you without any doubt and afterthoughts.
four
monday sun rises, meaning classes are back to normal again. you were getting ready for the day, sitting on your vanity when a common barn owl dropped a stem of flower right at your lap.
a pretty pink hydrangea was there, a note slipped in between the delicate petals.
all these people think love's for show, but i would die for you in secret
your smile reached your eyes as you put the pink flower along with the other bundle of flowers from your admirer.
you were kind of in a funny situation. you wanted to always keep getting these flowers for as long as possible but you also wanted to know who this person is but also you wanted remus to give you these.
it's all silly, you know.
"rem! i got another flower!" you said giddily as you stood beside him for the first class. it was a very heart-fluffing thing to see for him. you look flushed and happy.
"yeah? this person must love you very much!" remus replied with a sly smile. it was quite a nice feeling; talking about his love for you in a third person.
"yeah..." you trailed off. a part of you had a small hope of remus being your secret admirer but he seemed to be so cool about it. he doesn't show any signs or hints. maybe he's just a good actor. "do you have any idea who might that be?"
"mmm, no," he shook his head, turning his focus on the professor ahead. "but this person better be so proud of themselves because they made you giddy. look at you! you look like a puppy in a park," he chuckled.
"oh shush," you kicked his feet softly.
you made a mental note to yourself to be cautious of your surroundings at all costs next time, especially when you're alone. you were curious to find out who the person behind this is.
many many thoughts swam through the head of yours. a certain person popping here and there too.
five
you walk with your head down.
it hasn't been a pleasant day. firstly, your shoes got stuck on the mud when you're on the way to attend care of magical creatures. secondly, you dropped your bowl of soup during lunch, ending up with you having to deal with the stickiness in your uniform skirt until class has ended because there's zero time in between each.
it wasn't a big thing really, but it was big enough to bother you for the rest of the day.
your daily flower hasn't been sent too.
that was a silly thing to think of.
you decided to have an evening stroll around the castle grounds, just to clear your head a bit. you haven't had nature walks in quite a long time.
what you didn't expect was to see a certain gryffindor boy, holding a book while scheming through the field of wild plants.
you couldn't quite catch what the book was, but you caught how calm he was. how stunning he looks under the warm orange sun.
remus looks so peaceful. like a painting. like he has no single worry in the world. (as he should)
he bent down, reaching for a pink flower. he held it with such tenderness, afraid it will be damaged.
you hid behind a tree, heart beating in anticipation.
you knew this was wrong. say if you were the one who's giving out flower to your crush secretly, you wouldn't want anyone to see.
thank god it was getting dark because now you were able to run back to the castle. breathless.
when you arrived at your dorm minutes later, you saw that same identical flower remus picked earlier on your bed.
it was a pink chrysanthemum. smells beautiful.
this one looked the prettiest compared to the rest somehow. maybe because you saw that beautiful sight of remus picking them fresh from the soil.
the note read;
i'm captivated by you, like a firework show. i see sparks fly whenever you smile.
every word now and then seemed to melt your heart a little more, knowing the person behind this.
six
it has been a few days since. the last class you were supposed to be having right now was dismissed, meaning the students have extra time before dinner.
you decided to go outside, to the field of wild plants.
you now felt somewhat guilty for dragging this- although you shouldn't really. it was remus' idea and whatever is the outcome, it will be on him but since you found out about it, you can't help but feel like you have to face remus.
tell him so he doesn't have to be a lover from afar. so he doesn't have to be hopeless and pining for god knows how long.
well, how bad can it be? you two have the same feelings to each other. nothing bad will happen right?
you don't know much about flowers but a red rose seems like the most common type of flower to give to your significant other.
you decided to pick them up, stupidly not realising that there were thorns on them.
"aah!" you hissed, dropping it on the ground. you looked at your finger, a red scratch painfully visible on your skin.
"are you okay? what happened? why are you bleeding?" a familiar voice appeared from behind you. "oh [y/n]..." remus frowned sympathetically as he grabbed your fingers. he grabbed it with such tenderness that it reminds you of how he hold that pink flower.
"m'fine, rem." you pulled your fingers but he was much stronger than you are.
remus took out his handkerchief from his pocket for him to wrap them around your scar in order to stop the bleeding. "what are you doing here?" he asked, gently caressing your hand.
"i-," you paused, taking a deep steady breath. "i wanted to give you a rose," you replied, unable to look at his face.
he dropped your hand, his mouth agape.
you can't be. there's no way....
he waited for your explanation. "i know i shouldn't but i saw you. three days ago, you were here. um, i wanted to give you a note with a flower too. uh- here," you put the folded parchment to his palms. cheeks red from embarrassment.
remus was afraid of what the note contained. it could be you rejecting his feeling or something else he couldn't quite make himself to believe.
he put the parchment inside his pocket, "let's go back."
and that was the last thing you heard from remus.
extra
it has been two days. two whole days of remus being afraid to open your note.
it was propped on his desk. untouched.
he didn't even know why he's being this complicated. of course james and sirius were right. you would find out sooner or later. you are not dumb. never.
so today, he man-ed up himself.
he reached for the parchment that was tied with a pale yellow ribbon, slowly unfolding it. he saw small doddles of yours around the edges and corners.
this sure is not a rejection letter.
he felt so ashamed. he must be putting you through a tough time right now and it's all because of his fear of being rejected.
don't you worry your pretty little mind. people throw rocks at things that shine. and life makes love looks hard. the stakes are high, the water's rough. but this love is ours.
that is the sweetest thing remus has ever read. he quickly got up from his bed. done sulking around and absolutely done with being scolded by james and sirius every hour of the day.
he will make it up to you. he will.
you on the other hand was sad, confused, and lonely at the same time. it's miserable and not magical.
you thought it would be good to give remus a rose? bad decision.
for god's sake, you didn't even know for sure that the flower he picked was for you! it could be for someone or something else. maybe that flower you received was from someone who is not remus.
maybe just the colour of the flower was the same as the one remus picked. that's it.
your thought were quickly interrupted when remus entered your space.
his eyes looked tired and hopeful at the same time. in front of him was a giant bouquet of different kinds of pink and white flowers.
"forgive me please?" he said slowly, stretching his arms forward.
"wh-"
"i'm sorry. sorry for not responding to you sooner. for keeping you in a difficult situation. i'm going to make it up, i promise."
"it's okay, you're here," you smiled at him, that sunken feeling went away.
"i am. these are for you, there's roses."
"rem- they're so pretty," you took it from him.
"like how you are-" he said, cringing at his own words. somehow when you're around, his brain seemed to lag.
you shook your head, laughing, "i love them."
"i was wondering; if you're free on saturday, would you want to go on like- a date? with... me?" he bounced his legs.
"at six?"
"yes."
"a date then."

when people send in requests mapping out the story and let me just add in a little razzle dazzle>>>
I hope it's okay that I made the reader female
You Belong to Me// Lee (Bones and All)
Tumblr media
Warnings: cursing, angst, fluff, and everything that is in the request is in the fic so be sure to read that
It’s a long read. Enjoy.
You were in love with him, and he acted like he had no idea. How could he not know? You spent every waking hour together and even slept next to each other. How could he not see the lingering glances you gave, or how you would take any opportunity to touch his arm, or his shoulder? He was so damn beautiful, and so protective of you, but it was more like a friend type of thing. You were certain that was how he thought of you: his friend and travel companion.
You knew he had a past, that maybe he had done some things that he wasn't proud of. You had no idea what things. But you knew that it was enough for Lee to not want to get too close to you. You were growing tired of his closed off demeanor.
"We gotta get gas." he said, turning on his blinker and pulling into the filling station.
Night was falling outside. You didn't know where the hell you were, just somewhere in Kentucky. Everything looked the same, from the landscape to the gas stations that were planted every fifty miles or so.
Lee got out and started to pump gas.
You looked into the little convenience store across the way and saw a young male employee at the register. You grinned to yourself. Now was finally your chance to mess with Lee, to see if you could make him jealous.
You got out of the truck as well, waltzing over to the driver's side where Lee was filling the gas tank. "I'm gonna go inside." you said to him.
"Okay, just don't spend too much money. We gotta make it last." he replied, looking up at you, his red hair shining pink-ish under the lights of the gas station.
You put your hands in your pockets nonchalantly as you walked over to the store.
Once inside, you smiled at the guy behind the counter, he was kinda cute, not as handsome as Lee, but he was decent looking. He nodded at you with a smirk and wasn't shy about checking out your ass as you walked by.
You decided to pick up something useful, so you grabbed some feminine pads and tampons. You knew exactly what to do. As you brought the items up to the counter, you noticed that Lee had a perfect view of you checking out from outside.
"How are you on this fine evening, darlin'?"
The man spoke to you, bringing you out of your Lee trance. "Oh, I'm fine, how are you?"
"Oh, much better since you walked in." he said with a hearty southern laugh as he started to scan your items.
You let out a fake laugh, and batted your eyelashes at him, placing your hands on the counter as he rang you up.
"You and your boyfriend just passing through?" he asked, gruffly.
"Oh yeah," you looked out the window at Lee, he was screwing the lid back on to the gas cap. "But he's not my boyfriend. He's just a friend, ya know?"
"Oh really? Well, maybe I could convince you to spend the night in town? I get off in an hour, and there's a real nice motel down the road.”
What a sleazebag, you thought. But you had to play this off. You knew without even looking that Lee was watching. "Hmm, that is really tempting...how much do I owe you?"
His smirk fell a little when he had to look at the small screen where your transaction was added up, "It's uh $6.50, dear."
"Oh no, I don't have that much." you bit your lip, shifting on your feet innocently.
"Well, that's okay. A pretty girl like you needs a break. It's on the house." he said with a wave of his hand.
You looked over at Lee, leaning against the side of the truck with his arms folded across his chest. Then you looked back at the clerk, "Really? Are you sure? I'd hate to not give you anything for this stuff."
He grinned, leaning toward you with a nasty grin. "Maybe you could just give me a kiss for now, and we'll call it even."
You gulped, glancing to Lee for a second, then nodded at the stranger, "Okay, just a tiny one?"
The clerk nodded.
You leaned over the counter, your ass was now high in the air. You pecked the man on the cheek quickly, but you still got a whiff of his minty chewing tobacco. The smell almost made you sick to your stomach. You'd rather smell the occasional cigarette Lee smoked.
As you got back to your feet, the clerk reached around and smacked you right on the ass. It hurt, and you weren't happy about it, but you knew it was the perfect action to send Lee over the edge. The bell at the top of the store door chimed within seconds. The man behind the counter hadn't even stopped chuckling at what he had done.
Lee was more angry than you had ever seen him. "Y/n, everything okay in here?" He was fuming and he looked so hot, his hands were balled into fists.
"Yeah, fine." you chirped, grabbing your feminine products from the counter. "Thank you, sir, very much." you sang, smiling at the clerk, then turning on your heels to exit the store, bumping into Lee's arm for good measure.
"See you in an hour, sweetheart!" the clerk called after you.
"The fuck you will!" Lee spat immediately to the other man.
You giggled as you let the door close behind you, but Lee was on your trail.
"What the hell was that, y/n?" he barked.
"What ever do you mean?" you teased, hopping into your side of the truck.
Lee quickly got into the driver’s seat, “Don’t give me that shit, why would you let some asshole touch you like that? Who knows what he could have done to you?”
“Why would you care, Lee? It’s not like we’re dating!”
“I care about your safety, y/n, you know that.” he said, starting up the truck and pulling out of the gas station. You were on the road again.
“Well, there’s no harm in flirting if I want to.” you pointed out.
“Sure there is. You can’t trust strangers. You’re smarter than that.”
“Okay, Dad. Damn.” you mocked him with a huff, and crossed your arms, laying your head on the window. You felt defeated in your attempt to get him to like you. You started to think that he really didn’t see you as anything more than just a travel buddy.
“Don’t call me that.” Lee scoffed. “Look, I’m sorry. It just pissed me off that that motherfucker thought he could put his hands on my girl like that.”
Your heart started you beat hard in your chest when you realized what he had said. “Wait…what?” You looked over at him, his hand in his hair at the top of his head. Did he just let that slip? Was he oblivious to what he had said?
“What?” he frowned at you, then kept his eyes on the road.
“Do you know what you just said? You said my girl.”
Lee couldn’t stop the strange little smile that toyed with the corners of his mouth. “Yeah. You’re my girl.” He shrugged. “That’s how I like to think of you. Is that weird?” He put his hand on his cheek, then his fingers laid over his mouth. He looked over at you, waiting for your response.
You felt so warm in your chest, your whole body became tingly with happiness. But you didn’t want to ruin the moment in any way. You didn’t want to push him. You knew Lee, and even though he seemed so abrasive, it was because he was so fragile on the inside. You would let him come to you. “No, it’s not weird. I’m glad to hear that, actually.”
Lee smiled, then turned his attention back to the road. He drove for a while and you sat in a comfortable silence. You desperately wanted to scoot closer to him, to touch him, to feel the warmth of his body, but not just yet.
“So you wouldn’t seriously meet some stranger at a motel, would you?” he asked you.
“Lee, I never thought about that guy for a second.”
A scrunched up look of confusion appeared on his face, “Then why did you flirt with him? Were you that bored?”
“No, I um, I wanted to see what you would do if you saw me acting like that.” you twiddled your thumbs absentmindedly.
“And why did you want that?”
“I don’t know. It feels silly to say it out loud. Maybe it’s stupid, but I wanted to try and make you jealous. Now I don’t know if you think of me that way or if we’re just…companions, but you should know that I-I”
“No.” he said, sharply, interrupting you.
“No?” you felt a lump in your throat.
“Just…let me take you somewhere. I wanna take you somewhere.” his voice trembled a little. Was he nervous? He was never nervous. Lee was always in control, he always knew what to do in every situation.
“Okay.” you cleared your throat, and looked down at your hands. You noticed how badly you were shaking.
Lee continued driving for a few minutes, then turned down a dirt road, off into the woods. “There’s a spot back here that I’ve been to before. It’s great for being alone and star gazing.”
You hummed in response, smiling lightly.
There was a decent sized patch of grass mapped out by many trees, and he parked the truck. “Seems like a good spot to call it a night.” he said, turning off the ignition.
You were upset that it seemed like he was brushing you off. Like whatever feelings you had didn’t matter because he couldn’t handle them.
You were lost in your thoughts, and you hadn’t even noticed that he had gotten out of the truck. Lee tapped on your window, giving you a light scare. “Hey, you coming?” he asked, opening your door.
He took your hand when you stepped out, and you felt a glimmer of hope strike you in the heart. You blushed as he led you to the back of the truck. He dropped your hand for a moment to open up the old, rusty tailgate with its signature creeks and clunks.
To your surprise, Lee spun around and grabbed you by the waist, picking you up and plopping you down on the tailgate. You giggled in response.
He carefully put his hands on the tops of your thighs, slowly parting them so he could nestle his hips between them. He smiled softly, and your heart skipped a beat as he touched your cheek, so delicately, like dipping his toe in the water.
“You belong to me, y/n. And I belong to you. We are part of each other.” his voice was so sweet and velvet, he had the ability to melt you on the inside.
You grinned at him, and wrapped your arms around his neck.
You heard him let out a soft breath as he hugged you. His hands rested on your back. You were both able to relax, and just be. Be together, in the moment without any barriers or hesitation.
“Lee, do I mean more to you than just a friend?” you asked, letting your fingers brush his curls idly.
“Hm.” he hummed, leaning back a tiny bit to look at you. The crinkles near the outside of his eyes creased as he grinned. He leaned in, you felt the warmth of his breath, and then the tender press of his lips on yours. He pulled away slightly, saying, “What do you think?” He then resumed kissing you, and tucked your legs around his waist.

lil' baby crush
summary: gwen pays miles a visit and gets him to go to one(1) college party. wc: ~1400 a/n: this isn't canon-compliant in that gwen is gay and miles is bisexual here. he's like the 'damn nobody want u fr' 'im sayin like!' image. enjoy!
Miles sighed and sunk down into his chair, the blue light from his laptop illuminating his face. He was currently the only one occupying the shared dorm room, working on an essay that wasn’t due until next month while his roommate was out doing…whatever he was doing. 
Partying, probably.
Despite what he’d often told his parents to explain his sudden disappearances, Miles didn’t really do parties. 
He’d had a taste of them in the form of school dances at Brooklyn Middle: you get there, maybe talk to your friends a little, then stand around trying to figure out how, when, and for how long to dance while the same ten songs rattle your eardrums. 
If he wanted to blast his ears with music for several hours straight, he figured that’s what his trusty bass-boosted headphones at home were for. No complex social ballet required. Even better, he could choose the playlist. 
But it sure made for some boring-ass Friday nights.
Miles got up and rolled his shoulders, fully prepared to go lie in bed for another hour, when he caught a familiar golden light flash across his window. He grinned to himself, wondering which member of what Hobie had affectionately called ‘the Spider-band’ had swung by for a visit.
Tap, tap, tap.
Gwen’s white mask appeared in the frame. She waved as Miles padded over to the window and pushed it open wide enough for her to climb through. Just as her muddy converses were about to touch the floor, he raised an eyebrow.
“Gwanda, you know better.”
“Right, forgot about that,” Gwen laughed, kicking them off. “Old habits, y’know?”
Miles shook his head and grinned.
“So, how’s the thing with MJ going?”
Gwen removed her mask, revealing shoulder-length blonde hair. It fell in choppy layers, and she had replaced the soft pink dye at the tips with a fiery orange.
"Well, it's…going."
Miles crossed his arms.
"Gwen…You did talk to her, right?"
"Y-yeah! I spoke to her," Gwen gnawed at her bottom lip before mumbling, "Once. On the subway."
"Absolutely tragic," he exclaimed dramatically as he fell back on his bed. "My best friend has absolutely no game!"
"Oh, you're one to talk! You think I forgot about 'the shoulder touch'?"
Miles sat straight up.
"I thought we agreed to never speak of that again."
"Just saying," Gwen hopped off of the window sill and sat at Miles' desk. "Enough about me, though. How's campus life? You get wasted at any parties yet?"
Miles shrugged.
"I got invited to one nearby that's supposed to be tonight, but I stayed back. No club meetings this week, either, so…"
Her eyes widened.
"So you're just sitting here?"
"I'm being productive," he corrected, pointing to his laptop. "See? I'm half-way done with that essay, I could probably turn it in a week early."
"Miles."
"What? I'm chilling, Gwen, seriously! Just me and my, uh…" Miles glanced at his bookshelf. "...crossword puzzles."
Gwen stood resolutely, already having made a decision in her head.
"Pick an outfit, we're going to that party."
"Whoah, whoah, wait, hold on–"
Miles hopped to his feet as she threw open his closet and began rummaging through it. 
"Since when do you wear sweater vests?"
She held up several hangers with sweater vests of various colors.
"I wanted to look distinguished…?"
"Nerd," she snorted. "Oh, this bomber jacket looks sick! Feel like going out with it?"
Miles laughed, "Something tells me I don't have much of a choice."
"Correct," Gwen smirked, tossing the jacket at him. "I’m gonna have to borrow one of these hoodies."
-
After a twenty-minute walk (Miles didn’t want to risk swinging), the two stopped in front of a run-down apartment building. Loud music and spinning lights from mini disco balls spilled out of the windows.
"This is it," Miles breathed. "If my first party sucks or gets raided by the cops, I'm never speaking to you again."
"Never know until you try," Gwen replied. "Shall we?"
The place was already packed. There was a lively beer pong game happening in the kitchen, while a pack of students were strung along the walls in the living room puffing clouds of marijuana smoke into the air. The group in the middle of the room, of course, was dancing. Or something that closely resembled dancing.
Miles glanced across the room, scanning the sea of swaying bodies when he noticed one lounging on the couch.
The figure was staring down into a red solo cup, a full head of blonde, ear-length dreads obscuring half of his face until he looked up. 
In a devastating miscalculation, Miles let himself stare a little longer until he realized that their eyes had met. He froze, as if the stranger’s dark eyes kept him in place.
Gwen followed his line of vision. She’d seen that look on Miles’ face before: once when they first met at Visions, and again when Hobie had invited them to a concert and she’d caught Miles ogling the bassist. 
She grinned and clapped him on the shoulder. 
"I'll be by the speakers. Go get 'em, tiger."
Despite his sneakers feeling like they were made of concrete, he took a step forward, then another, keeping his eyes on his target all the while. 
The other boy tilted his head in amusement. 
"Um," Miles began, "I-Is this spot taken?"
"Well, I'm sitting in it, so…"
Real smooth, Miles.
"No! I mean, like, next to you–"
The boy’s eyes became crescent moons as he burst into laughter.
"Relax, I know what you meant. Spot's free," he gestured towards the empty area on the couch to his right.
"O-oh, cool. Thanks," Miles laughed awkwardly. The couch sank beneath him when he sat down.
How the fuck do you flirt with dudes?
He could barely fumble his way through flirting with women, riding almost entirely on them finding his utter lack of game endearing. Now here he was, glancing back and forth between the stranger and a wall.
"Yo, you want a drink?" The boy asked, snapping Miles out of his thoughts. "You look like you need one."
He was probably right.
"Sure, I don't mind."
He rose to his feet, revealing more of his outfit: an oversized black tee layered over a white shirt, with a red kilt draped over a pair of dark wash jeans. A real Jaden Smith type, it seemed. But maybe Miles was into that. 
It wasn't long before he returned with a second solo cup, which he pushed into Miles' hand. 
"So," he asked with a grunt as he sat, "Why you not dancin'?"
Miles snorted, and shook his head.
"I don't dance. Was never too good at it."
"Ah, but is the point of dancing to be good at it?"
"Don't get philosophical with me now, I'm a STEM major," Miles grinned, then took a sip of whatever was in his cup. 
He tried his best to hide his disdain for the brown liquid, but the grimace on his face made it evident. "I didn't catch your name, by the way."
"Call me TJ."
"That's a cute name–I mean, a nice name," Miles winced at himself. "A very…normal name."
TJ laughed, revealing a gap-toothed smile that made Miles' chest swell. "Thanks. Yours?"
"Miles. Miles Morales."
"I think your name's cuter. Bonus points for alliteration."
Miles felt heat rushing up to his ears and cheeks. He hadn't had enough to drink for him to blame it on that. 
"So, why aren't you dancing?" He asked, changing the subject.
TJ shrugged. 
"I prefer to people-watch."
"Oh, so when you do it, it's 'people-watching'," Miles made air quotes with his fingers. "I see how you move."
"And yet here you are, talking to me anyway. No idea why you chose me to sit next to, by the way. It's hella empty seats."
Miles bit his lip. 
"I…didn't come over here just to find a seat, actually." 
TJ raised a bleached eyebrow. 
"So what did you come here for? Clearly not to get high, your pupils look normal."
Miles took a deep breath, his heartbeat louder in his ears than the music.
"You, um…You're…"
Holy shit, just say something!
"Do you like boys? I'm not asking for a friend."
Oh my god. Not like that.
TJ blinked, then a smirk began to spread across his face as he came to a realization. 
"Why, yes. Yes I do. You wanna get outta here? I know a place with actual food."
Miles let out a breathy laugh.
"You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that."
"I think I have some idea. You're sweating."
Before he could respond, Miles felt his phone vibrate in his jacket. It was Gwen.
-gwanda: finally!!
-gwanda: if u don’t get his number im gonna be so mad at u. be back by midnight!!
He rolled his eyes.
-miles: ok mom
Miles shut off his phone and rose to his feet, as TJ had already done. He took a deep breath.
“Shall we?”

y/n's pov
where it started !
"Hey Will?" I spoke up into the mic.
Wilbur's voice came through my headphones. "Yes?" he said, taking a sip of his water.
I paused. "I think I'm going to tell Ran I like them."
Since Wilbur's webcam on, I could see him spit out his drink in surprise.
"You- what?! Really?" I nodded, laughing at his response. "That's amazing, Y/n. How are you going to do it?" he asked.
I explained to Will how I was going to slowly compliment him and just make it obvious bit by bit until Ran finally said something.
"That's actually.... really smart." he laughed.
"I know, right?!"
brighton beach !
It was 11:38 pm at night, and my eyes were slowly starting to close. Will had invited the other Sorry Boys and I to come see the Lovejoy gig in Brighton. The show was incredible overall, but the thing that was running through my mind is how I was going to first start the confession mission, as Will and I called it.
All of us were walking down a dark alleyway that was barely lit. Street lights flickering every other minute, and closed shop signs hung on the doors. We finally got to the pier, and walked down to the beach.
Coming down to the beach in Brighton was always a treat, even during the day and it's super busy, or if there's not really "sand", and the beach is just slippery rocks. At night it was especially great, because no one was there except for the occasional teenagers. Everyone else stared at the soft waves crashing against the shore, with the stars glimmering behind it. "What was I looking at?" you might ask. I was looking at the glimmering thing next to me, Ran.
They were looking at the view in front of them, their gray eyes glimmering from the reflection of the stars above. Their hair was fluffy and had streaks of caramel brown from the early morning sun.
I kept looking at them, admiring their features rather than the once in a lifetime view in front of me.
Ran finally turned their head and saw me looking at them, instantly making eye contact with me for a few seconds. He looked back to the waves and fixed their hair.
"Are you going to stare at me or the view of the waves?" he teased, looking back at me once more.
I stared at him for a few seconds, before tilting my head slightly to the right, observing his freckles that painted his cheeks and nose. "Hmm... I think you're much more admirable." I said, confidently.
I looked at them and could see blush tinting their cheeks. I looked over to Wilbur on my left and nodded to him. I mouthed, "Mission accomplished." Wilbur smiled.
on stream !
"Hey chat! It's your favorite human, Y/n here. Today, I'm joined by Ranboo in my lovely kitchen!" I said, smiling into the webcam.
Chat went 100 miles per hour seeing Ranboo and I in the same room. Chat filled up with "y/nboo" and "my favorite streamers!!" or whatever chants they could come up with.
"Chat's really loving this duo, huh?" I smirked. I looked over to Ran. "Might as well have to deliver this duo more, shall we boo?"
I may or may not have especially chosen that nickname on purpose, since it would not only just make them a little flustered, but more flustered since we were streaming.
I kept staring at Ran. They looked at me with surprise in their eyes, but also a scolding look at the same moment. I looked over at chat to see their responses.
user444: WAIT WHAT
user555: DID YOU GUYS HEAR THAT???
user10: "BOO"??? WHAATTTTTT [shock]
y/n4life: ahhh my fave duo!!!!
I innocently continued on with the stream, acting like nothing happened. And I swear, I made him blush again. 2 missions accomplished.
on the train !
Ranboo, Tommy, Wilbur, Niki, Jack and I were all on the train on the way to London to record a new vlog. Tommy and Wilbur were on their phones playing some random game, and Niki and Jack were talking about the vlog and stream ideas. Ranboo and I were just sitting next to eachother peacefully, sharing earbuds and listening to music playlists. It's been a couple weeks since the kitchen stream, and I had honestly forgotten entirely about it. I yawned, feeling my eyes slowly close and my head lean against the shaking train window.
Ranboo spoke up next to me. "Y/n, love." Wilbur and Tommy peeked up from their phones and exchanged looks with each other at Ranboo's words. "Your head is going to hurt a fucking lot if you lean against the window."
"There's literally nowhere else to sleep. What the hell am I supposed to do?" I said.
Ranboo faked coughed into his elbow and looked at the other side of the train. He then looked at me giving approval.
I laid my head down on his chest and curled my legs on the chair as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I blushed, hiding my face in his hoodie. Ran then placed his head on the seat, leaning his neck back, somehow being comfortable.
Tommy whispered to the others, thinking we couldn't hear him as we snuggled. "Deffo flerting." he said, getting the others to giggle. I saw Jack and Wilbur take a picture from their phones through the corner of my eye.
"You realize we can hear you, right?" Ranboo spoke up.
confessions !
I was walking down the shore with Ran at night, as he had asked me to come meet him there. I wasn't sure what he wanted, and I was utterly confused.
"Um, Y-y/n? Can we stop here for a second? There's something I need to tell you." Ranboo said, looking up at me with dilated eyes.
I nodded. "Yeah, is everything alright?" I said, taking his hand in mine.
He looked down at our hands and I could see the tip of his ears blush for a few split moments. He took a deep breath.
"I'm in love with you, y/n l/n. I've noticed your little compliments and flirts here and there, from the beach, the stream, on the train. Everywhere. And I can't help but fucking adore it. I've always fucking thought why you can never get out of my head. I truly love you, and if you don't love me back, that's fine. But I can only live with you knowing, no matter what your answer is."
I stared at his eyes. I'm 99% sure someone on TikTok said that a persons eyes dilate when they're in love, and just by telling and looking from his eyes, it seemed true. I looked quickly at his parted lips.
"Yes, I fucking love you too, idiot. I'm the one who flirted with you first!" I spoke back.
Ranboo tilted my head with his fingers, and looked down at my lips and back to my eyes. "May I kiss you?"
"Mhm." I said.
I felt him close the space between us, and I swear, my legs could have gone flat. He wrapped his arm around my waist, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I pulled away, and I smiled, leaning my forehead against his.
Let's just say we left a trail of memories on the way.

✰⋆⁺ warnings: crack(!) I'm mean full on (!) moxxie's pov(!) cussing(!) like some real vulgar things(!) singing(!) reader is aro/ace coded if u squint(!) Moxie being a theater kid(!) guns(!) blood(!) y/n is being used (😱)(!) gore(!) I probably gotta go to church after this-(!)
✰⋆⁺Maybe I just want to loose my mind, or possibly vent. Arentcha tired of bein nice? dontcha just wanna go apeshit?
✰⋆⁺ You may have been afraid before, but you aren't anymore. LETS FUCK SHIT UP!!! I wonder what caused you to snap? Better yet, how do we put you back together? hell if I know 🤷🏾‍♀️.
On the news Katie Killjoy announced:
"Welcome back to the news!!"
"Yes- and here we are! My name is-" Tom suddenly got pushed out of his seat.
"No one gives a shit you pussyfart!!" Katie lashed out, with her arm stretched out to Tom's direction.
"On this cockblocked day we have the weakest shit you can find! Nothing more than a shooting at Straight Pride Square!!" (I wonder who the hell named that) "Take a look!" she said, as the camera zoomed in on reader and Blitzø shooting up a candy store, stealing a many treats as they could.
The camera zoomed even more on (Y/N)'s face to show how hard they were laughing. The TV turned off.
"Oh dear! What's going on with them? They're usually so kept together- and, you know, peaceful! dare I say shy!" Millie had walked in the room, bringing a cup to her lips as her brows furrowed in concern.
"Id blame the boss" Moxxie says, "I'll be back honey" He sighed as he stood up and walked to the door.
"Love you Mox! Don't die ❤️" Millie cheered!
"actually do it fatty" Loona demanded.
And he was off! into Imp city he goes! Adventurous as he was, Moxxie did have to admit he was feeling some fear,
'but not onto the brink of cowardice!', Moxxie recited in his head. His finger erected (hehe) into the air as he thought to himself,
"I gotta keep moving!" The thought of finding his shy friend filled him with determination. Moxxie marched on forward, head up and feet dodging and sidestepping nasty liquids!
The walk was getting a bit boring- so why not sing a little improv?
I save dick by giving it cpr~
let's watch-
HOLY SHIT! A car zoomed past him at Max speed! phew! that was close...-!
*POW POW POW*
Dear Satan? is that-!?
*more gun sounds*
Unholy cow, it is!!!
"(Y/N)???!?!"
The demon was on a shooting spree, gunning left and right everywhere they could.
"Oh, hey Pussy 😁👋" They replied back, swinging the machine gun around. Moxxie brought his hands up immediately.
"T-thats n-not my-" *GUH GUH GUH GUH (please pretend these are gunshots) * "-name.." The imp cowered out.
"Don't give a fuck🙄. Anyways- look at what Blitzø taught me 🤪" (Y/N) said as they brought the bazooka to the sky, spinning in a circle as she kills off atleast 30 flying creatures.
"um- (Y/N)? w-we should probablygobacktotheofficebeforesomethingbad-"
*BOW BOW BOW*
The new gun they had sent powerful sounds, as well as blows, to anyone in a mile radius. Their hair flew back as the impact from the gun expelled as much air as the reader pleased.
"Uhhhh- yea, imma go-"
"OH NO YOU DOING YOU MAN WHORE! COME AND GET SOME ACTION!!!" Blitzø suddenly arrived, throwing a few shotguns at the poor man. *BANG BANG BANG*
"YEA 🤩 GET IN ON THIS ACTION 😝😝(PAUSE)" The reader added on, getting a double homicide as a couple died by their will.
"yo ass fat gurl! lemme get a piece" someone in the background, who definitely doesn't matter, slid unattractively. Man, where did he come from?.
It didn't really matter, they were gonna die anyway. You then mumbled to yourself in irritation, noticing you missed a shot to that cannibalistic grandma you hate.
"Damn hag...Also- to whoever said that, your mom's a hoe 😌" They said, instantly piercing a bullet into the exact person who said that. His body fell from a roof with a splat, with some of the blood landing on Mox's face.
so that's where he was hiding. huh.
"YEAH, THATS THE SPIRIT (Y/N)!!!" Blitzo yelled as he strategically headshot 10 people in a row. He threw a few more bags of ammo at you, to which you caught, as he cackled and crankled at the chaos surrounding this part of the city.
"so, why are we killing people? I mean- we weren't payed for it, so-" *POW* Moxie just barely missed the opportunity to duck as a thick bullet slightly grazed his striped horns.
"SAY SOMETHING ELSE MOX POX 😡😡I DARE YOU 🥸🫵 SAY ANOTHER WORD AND YOU GONNA SEE A NEW LIGHT, AND YO WIFE IS GONNA SEE A NEW SPOUSE 😏😼😼" You shouted, pointing your weapon at him and thrusting your hips at the air.
"But I thought you were-!?" A gun from the background aggressively clicks. "I- ok..." Moxie fearfully replied, getting the dirty work done before he lost the love of his life as well as his own.
bullets pierced the air, as well as bodies, into the red sky, and onto the deep red ground. no one was safe from the reader's wrath. which is ironic because they're in the pride ring.
A few hours later, the 2 imps and the demon finally started their treck on home. that is if you can count shaking in a petrified way while being carried by your boss as walking.
Moxie started to theorize on why you had such a change in behavior, especially one like this! Did you have stinkmeaner's essence within you? were you perhaps a relative of the hateful spirit??? Have you unlocked something truly destructive to this hell???
And somehow you figured out how to speak with emojis? What the hell!!? That's a theory for another day.
Because that's just a theory. He couldn't prove anything even if he wanted to- Heck, Lucifer himself wouldn't even believe his words!
Man, it was a helluva ride. A ride Moxie never wanted to go on again.

SPOILERS FOR BSD SEASON 5 FINALE
I just - *sigh* okay, I just finished BSD season 5. Obviously I'm NOT okay because of skk shinskk and old men DYING IN EACH OTHERS' ARMS and ALL OF WHATEVER HAPPENED WHEN BRAM GOT A BODY *gestures frantically*
But to be really honest the main feeling I have is largely disappointment. This is going to be a very hot take but I actually hated how the arc panned out. Yes yes war ending yes everyone needs to stop fighting blah blah blah but IMAGINE. IMAGINE if the plot unfolded the way it was planned - Fukuchi being evil all along. Him eradicating war by eradicating humankind (the most evil, at least) by making armies destroy each other. And then making everyone build a nation (or not a nation, since he hates those) from the ashes of what's left. How his ideals become twisted from war, his glorious purpose and beliefs completely changed from the war.
Instead of whatever code geass-esque ending we got here. Except not even then because Suzaku killing Lelouch actually DID do the whole build-up justice. The build-up of BSD was so good - everything was paved so well and so nicely done, and then you're telling me he wanted to kill HIMSELF at the end? There's no hint to this, no SLIVER that the audience could've grasped at this. I've always believed that the best plot twists are the ones you see coming a mile away. This is more like a brick being dropped onto your head while you're walking. Maybe the new sequel has Fukuchi being revived and killing everyone again (it certainly looks like him, but also why are we fighting TWO HOURS AFTER again)
Anyways if Asagiri doesn't come out with something new for the October manga I'll shot myself
oh I forgot to add something I was gonna keep this in the notes but
The way that he keeps killing characters and bringing them back with a silly goofy explanation is genuinely doing my head in because at this point there is no IMPACT to character death. Shock value works only to a certain degree and it's getting a little boring to my flimsy ADHD-driven patience.
@sword-dad-fukuzawa tagging u cos I wanna hear ur thoughts

the blackphone x reader
what I think hanging into with them would be like !
m.list !!
cw : platonic relationships for all of these / non gendered(no prns!)
a/n : so I've been quite obsessed with this movie and have decided that I will be writing for it, if you want to request for something specific you can!!
Finney Blake :
Hanging out with him would probably consist of you guys practicing baseball, whether it'd be you throwing the ball and him hitting it or the other way around. You guys would also probably meet up with Robin and just go exploring the neighborhood ☆☆
I also feel like you guys would meet up at a park whenever you guys just don't feel like being at home and bringing your own things so you guys can just sit there and talk about whatever
Robin Arellano :
with him, you guys would probably be sitting inside watching horror movies. Finney would be absolutely horrified but would agree to join just because he wouldn't wanna feel left out
Finney: screaming sobbing and rolling on the sofa
Robin : dude the movie just started
Finney : oh, right
thats how it would go pretty much, but in general you guys have such a blast !!(mainly dissing Finney for being a wimp lol)
Gwen Blake :
Hanging out with Gwen Blake would probably be like a those teen girl movies where they have a sleep over and talk about boys/gossip. Probably more gossip than boy talk, I also feel like Gwen would be very into those dumb scary games where u get paranoid and end up staying up all night. Gwen is an absolute menace and will jump scare you if you ever try to sleep that night
You : Gwenny, my dear friend, what in God's name are you doing
Gwen : standing above you and your other friend as she stares at you menacingly
You : I'm just gonna
Cue you and your other friend running out the room as you get chased by Gwen
Bruce Yamada :
Practicing baseball with this dude is his like go-to. I feel like also going on walks with this guy would be awesome, like he always has something to talk about and would just have a whole conversation with himself if you weren't already there. He would also probably tag you randomly with no warning and start running down the street. Cue screaming from your end because he's so far ahead it's scary.
You : BRUCE.(inhale)YAMADA.(exhale)
Bruce : ignoring you as you very angrily run towards him with every last bit of energy you have left in you
Bruce : yea ???
Then you proceed to drop on the grass infront of him and watch as he panics before you pass out on the floor. Ofcourse your fine, just very exhausted from running like a mile and a half after a guy who's obviously faster than you because he's on the baseball team.
Vance hopper :
It's already a shocker as is that you could even get him to hang out with you. It would probably just be you sitting beside him while he plays his pinball game
You : Dude can we just go to an arcade or something, they have a pinball game there too
Vance : go by yourself if you're so miserable hanging out with me
Ofcourse if you ever want to go somewhere else with this dude you would either have to have the guts to drag him away from his pinball game or ask him another time when he isn't playing it. Though he's a stubborn bastard, I can imagine thats theres never a dull moment with him. This dude doesn't have a curfew or strict parents at all so he goes wherever he wants whenever he wants. Meaning, he'd probably yell at you to go with him somewhere you never know where ofcourse but it's always so fun anyways so it makes up for it
paperboy :
Bike rides ofcourse, I also think he'd be the type to have like a schedule to say when he's free. Like it could be like a Saturday but he'll still have something to do, whether it'd be chores or giving out the daily news papers. Ofcourse you usually help him and you guys do it so well together it's kinda scary. Like you guys are so in-sync while doing these chores it terrifies his parents. When you guys finish he probably puts on some music while you guys do whatever, I can imagine that his parents are usually at work 24/7 giving him freedom over the house till around 6:00pm. He probably goofs off whenever he has absolutely nothing to do

"were you the stares into candles for hours type of pyromaniac, or did you set fires for fun"
i mean i wouldn't really call it fun, like, obviously i'm destroying property, haha, so funny (derogatory)
technically I did both. I also bought hundreds of dollars worth of fireworks one year (with money that i stole from my parents) and almost set my house up in flames, but it's whatever, nbd
Once upon a time, about a month ago, i was having a real bad day, like, real shitty life hadn't been going well for months kind of bad day (it's not better, btw, if you're wondering) so obviously instead of being a sane person and just playing video games about it, I literally sat in my bedroom flicking a lighter over and over again to where I got a blister on my thumb, and even when it popped, I continued to do it because it just felt good
and then I went for a walk. At 3am.
I walked five miles, and then I set some fires, and man, it was nice. Biggest one I've done in a while, I did my usual "is anyone actually living here?" walk around, it was an abandoned building, the roof was pretty much gone anyway from a previous fire, not by my doing
and I went a little fire happy. And I got lost in the beauty of it and the next thing I knew, there were three fire engines and six cop cars pulling into the long driveway behind me.
so I kind of got arrested? like, they took me in, asked me what the fuck was up, I said "idk, i'm just not having a good time right now" not telling them that I had an absolutely great time doing what I just did, but u kno, whatever. I had to fill out a bunch of paperwork, got mentally evaluated with the usual "are you feeling like harming yourself or others" and whatnot, I room mate was getting up to go to work by this point, so he wasn't gonna come bail me out, so they just let me sleep it off. Couldn't call anyone else, cause I didn't have my phone on me, so I had no numbers, cause who the fuck memorizes numbers any more? who am i gonna call, my parents? "Hey mom and dad, just wanted to let you know that your child still hasn't gotten over their disorder lmao please don't hate me or anything, but I probably won't get better unless i do therapy about it, and i'm not ready to get into that rn"
Got slapped with a $500 fine, so on top of my massive piling up shitty debt pile I've gotta deal with, now I have like two months to pay back 500 dollars because I was an idiot and got caught, and I "got off easy for a first offense" first offense as far as they were aware. anyway, I got a new lighter last week, wanna see it?
Tumblr media
it's my favorite color. I may or may not have spent 50 dollars on lighter fluid, but i'm not gonna worry about that rn.

r No One Could Love You More & Some Forever written in the same universe? i just happened to read em back to back & realized how well they slot together, haha. either way – LOVE your writing, i’m completely enamored, thank u for it !!!!! steve & eddie truly are the guys ever <3
Oh wow what a fun ask! So funny enough, those two fics are not actually in the same universe. BUT my second ST fic, Literally and Figuratively, was meant to be the first in a series of fics all set in the same universe, the main one being a multi-chapter "fake dating" Steddie fic that took place between August and December 1986. (I say fake dating in quotes because one of them thinks they're dating and the other doesn't, lol.) There was also going to be another one-shot focusing on Robin and Nancy's friendship but uhhhhhh obviously I haven't. Written those, yet. I'm gonna get there!!! If you'll indulge me anon, I do have some thoughts about how Steve and Eddie got together in No One Could Love You More:
It takes a few days after being taken off the ventilator for Eddie to come back into himself and become lucid again. To him, everything during that time felt watery and dreamy and half-fake, and he couldn't differentiate between what was real and what wasn't. (He was also hopped up on, like, so many drugs.) So he has no memory of calling Steve baby. And he doesn't find out about it until way later, like after he's released from the hospital. (Sidebar I have a couple rotating ideas about where Eddie and Wayne live post-Vecna. The government always sets them up somewhere but depending on what I'm working on it changes. Sometimes it's a new trailer, like in Some Forever. Sometimes it's a cute little ranch house like in the linked fic series I mentioned above. I think in this universe they're temporarily put up in a shitty motel and Eddie gets so claustrophobic he spends every waking moment at Steve's.) So they're hanging out at Steve's, talking about whatever, and Eddie says something kind of teasing and unthinkingly tacks "baby" onto the end of it out of habit. And it kinda, well, comes out. That this is not the first time Eddie called him that. And Eddie is mortified. Putting aside his growing and unwieldy crush on Steve he's pretty sure he just tanked any chance of a friendship with this guy. So he tries to gather his stuff and get the hell out of dodge except he can't leave because he hasn't been cleared to drive yet and Steve picked him up so he's just going to have to walk the nine miles back to the shitty motel on the edge of town and wow his physical therapist is not going to like that— But Steve stops him. "I liked it," he says, so softly Eddie almost doesn't hear him. "When you called me that." "Yeah?" "Yeah. I want you to do it again." He takes both of Eddie's hands in his own, his eyes soft and honey-warm and sincere. "I want you to do it forever."

Lucifer visits Egyn
Lucifer traveled into the northern market town. Egyn resides here and works on his projects. Projects requested from Lucifer and tasks that he does for hobbies or profit. He's a well-known publisher of all sorts of stuff. Weapon-mass blueprints are his primary income.
Egyn was considered to be a friend of Lucifer's. One of the first demons he created. A pillar of the 4 corners but the last alive. He rose from the bottom but ended up alone.
Lucifer knocked on the door of Egyn's little house barn. The secondary structure for his living spaces. His real house is miles back north but all his projects are here in this cot.
Egyn answers with his bare bottom ass advertised to the room and his chest to the visitor at the door. "Ah, Lucifer. What are you doing here?"
Lucifer smiled but kept his eyes on the roof. "Before I come in, can you dress yourself?"
"V'course. I was running a test but it can wait until you leave." Egyn walks back in to find a shirt and some pants. He dresses quickly, clears the floor for room to walk, and then invites the friend in. "Take a seat at the table, I'll make you some tea."
Lucifer pats his shoulder as he walks in. "So what projects are you working on these days?"
"Nothing too special. X-ray-like stuff. Can't seem to get it to work without having to strip naked though." He explains. "As for the cure for the kids, I have a delivery coming in this Thursday. I hope it works this time."
"Thank you for working so hard on that." He nods. "Just to inform you, The Creator is visiting that same Thursday."
Egyn scoffs with disgust. "Ugh. Why?"
"They want to see the progress up close."
"Hmph. Sounds like they aren't barging in whenever they like anymore."
"They finally agreed to the boundaries." Lucifer sighs. "Which means I can talk about them as I please without worrying about them listening. That also means I must be notified when they are going to pay a visit. At least a week in advance."
"Good for you, setting boundaries."
"I've set them on the table centuries ago, They just refused to accept."
"How did you get them to sign off now?"
"I cried. The rest is between me and them."
Egyn sighed in disappointment. "So what progress have you made since they were here last?"
Lucifer sat silent in thought. He couldn't think of anything. "Nothing really. Well, nothing to the eye. All my progress is on paper. I'm working hard on fleshing out the plans I hope to set off soon."
"What plans are those."
There is many to go though. One I hope to get through The Creator is called the forgiveness project."
"What's that about?"
"I hope to try and help some of the people in hell circles find a new beginning. I fell from heaven, maybe they can rise from hell." He explains. "That plan is just running on hope though."
"It's a nice idea, it really is."
"I also hope to reestablish trust with my people. None of these plans can work if they don't trust me."
"How do you suppose you'll do that?"
"How else can I do it other than to be patient." He asks. "If I keep my ears open to them and make it known that I see them, they'll eventually recognize my interest in them."
Egyn hums anxiously." Maybe you're too ambitious." Egyn says. "I understand why you wanna do this, and hey, I'm proud of you for wanting to turn a new leaf." Lucifer scoffs. "But the old you did some unforgivable things. It's not gonna be easy to gain your people's trust again. You won't get a lot of them back regardless of what you do."
"But what can they do? They can't leave like my demons can and I'm the only person capable of leading right now." He says.
"Maybe they'll realize that, but there's no guarantee," Egyn says and slides a cup across the table as an offer. "Want some tea?"
He slides a cup over to Lucifer. Lucifer examines the color and smell, a little cautious. "Is this a new tea?"
"Don't worry, I tested it earlier. It's safe for consumption."
"Where is it from?"
"U-3."
"You want me to drink something you found in a sub-space?"
"Its where I find most of my stuff nowadays. If you don't want it, I'll drink it myself." He says and sits down.
"Everything?" Lucifer raises his eyebrows in surprise.
Egyn nods. "I have a lot of free time, so I explore the sub-spaces."
"You have too many hobbies to have free time."
He continues on about the tea. "It's a pretty sweet but also smooth taste."
"Leaves?" Lucifer asks as he brings the drink to his nose to smell and takes a drink.
"Dehydrated manure." Lucifer sets the cup down and slams his hands on the table in disgust then gets up to go spit it out. Egyn laughs. "Yes, it's leaves. The color is what made me want to use them."
"It's not a color that makes it desirable to drink."
"No, but it tastes good doesn't it?"
"Yes, it does." Lucifer takes his seat again. "But after that joke of yours, I don't think I can enjoy it."
Egyn shrugs with a smug smile, still satisfied with his trick. "Fair."
"Will you market it?"
"Eventually. I still need to research the effects" He says. "I'd also like to space out my creations. I feel close to losing motivation so I should have some stuff on standby so I don't disappear from the public eye."
Lucifer nods his head. "How is that cure coming?"
"I have a shipment due to arrive Thursday for that." He says as he looks back at his calendar on the wall by the door. "They actually came for a visit. Caused a ruckus in my market."
"What? Taik and Pandora you mean?"
"Grayson was with them."
Grayson looks down at the table curiously. "I didn't authorize a visit like that. When was this?"
"A month or so. Not about a cure though." Egyn began to ramble. "Pandora was still looking around the market looking for something that relates to a cure, Taik had to keep her close so she didn't get to look around much."
Lucifer becomes impatient. "Do you want to tell me why they were here?"
"They wanted to know how to revive someone after they've died." Lucifer halted his breath. "Oh yeah, that traitor boy was with them."
"Traitor- Which one!?"
"Your old heir! These days he goes by Sidban."
"... I wonder where he got a name like that." He mumbles. "What was he doing with Grayson? Are they plotting something?"
"No. The way it went is Grayson and the other two came to the market looking for me, they ran into Trugard and they began fighting. I had to break them up before they burned the place down."
Lucifer's thoughts raced. "What was Trugard doing here? Does he come here often? Under our noses?"
"Who knows how often he's here but that particular instance was for the same reason as Grayson." He says and sips on his tea. "Has anyone died recently? They didn't tell me who the revival was for."
"Raymond, unfortunately."
Egyn's eyes widened and he set his cup down. "Raymond died?" Lucifer nods. "When was this? How did it happen?"
"That raid last month. Trugard's group tried to steal resources and there were a lot of fatalities. Most on their side."
"I heard Raymond had left hell, but he was part of that raid?"
"He was. We did our best to avoid killing but they were killing us all the same." Lucifer explained sorrowfully. "Reports from other soldiers say Raymond was fighting and spotted Grayson. Rage fueled him and he charged for his brother, wanting to kill him. A soldier a few yards away cut off his path in an attempt to protect Grayson and couldn't restrain him so ended up having to kill him."
"Terrible." Egyn shook his head, sad that he had only heard the news now. "It sounds like he succumbed to rage."
Lucifer rambled the possibilities. "Rage towards Grayson. Seeking revenge for his abuse towards him... I've been meaning to talk to him but I was so busy." He hides his face in his hands and takes a breath of stress. "There's a lot to unpack but I haven't seen Grayson in days. I have no idea what he could be doing. I assume he's been mourning but it's been a month already." He says. "Why were Taik and Pandora with him when he came here?"
Silence filled the room. Egyn still processing the news of Raymond's death. "Well... I told them there was a way to revive others.. But it has to be within an hour of the death, so at that point there was nothing they could do."
"Trugard must have taken Raymond into his group. That's why he was looking for a revival for him."
"Are you going to do something about the traitors?"
"They need to know that I'm not against them. Not anymore. I don't want them back home I just want them to live how they please." Lucifer sighs and collapses back into his chair. "They'll never listen to me."
Egyn stands up and puts away a book he left out. "You need to show them that they can't come back and steal from us either." He says, sass in his tone. "If you want assistance with this plan of yours I am always free." He explains. "I truly believe you will do good for the future. Whether the people believe it or not."
Lucifer nods with gratitude. "Thank you, that means a lot." He finishes off his tea and prepares to take his leave. "What we can start with is to stop calling them traitors."
Egyn got up to escort him out. "What do we call them then?"
"I'll think of something. But I'd better head back."
Egyn nods "By the way, that tea is supposed to boost melatonin. You may fall asleep when you get home."
Lucifer gaped with dismay and irritation. "Why would you give me that? I have tons of work to do."
"I was testing it, thought you'd wanna take part." He laughs mischievously. "People have been having trouble sleeping so they asked for a treatment."
"I guess I better stay active to combat it. I'll be leaving now."

blnkkk u mentioned that you went to the gym thats why u seemed to fared well in PE whats ur routine
think u accidentally sent this twice <3 so I'm just gonna answer them both in this one
mental health and physical health go hand and hand, eating habits too!
a lot of people dont eat breakfast, little things like a yogurt or a fried egg on toast can really help you going
you deserve breaks and you deserve rest; sleeping for two hours a night and powering through the day doesn't work. eight hours might not be possible for some people, but i average around 5-6 hours at the moment and it's really helped me
if you still run the mile, try and keep your breathing even, in through your nose, out through your mouth; it's not about speed, its about stamina, jog slow if you need to, but don't sprint, it's not worth it
eventually it does get easier, but you need to keep yourself on a routine. if you can't jog, try and walk for like 15 minimum on the days u aren't in PE
if u wanna kick it up a bit, jogging on and off for 30 minutes is great, and if you can, outside is better than treadmills, but whatever you can get, get!
i personally meal plan bc it's great to not really think too much about what im going to eat during the busy school week
finally, if you can't, you can't. don't ever force yourself to do something you don't want to. you can know discipline, but your mental health must be a priority. you deserve to be loved, always know that.

5 SONG PAIRING PLAYLIST
tagged by @nuwanders thank u darlin for giving me the opportunity to be unabashedly corny about my video game lads <3
pairing: martin/tanis
me and the devil / walking side-by-side / and I'm gonna see my man / until I get satisfied
it's so many miles and so long since I've met you / don't even know what I'll find when I get to you / but suddenly now I know where I belong / it's many hundred miles and it won't be long
when the minute goes by faster than the feet / when the winter passes slowly as defeat / only dream of me
(loud-ass noise warning at the 4:14 mark)
I am incessant, I am relentless, I am the ocean / and all who dare look upon me swear eternal devotion
(it's one song split into two tracks. it's the most affecting thing I've heard recently just go listen to the album I swear. translation below pulled from a search)
the full moon shines / far and wide like the gods / when my lover comes to visit I wish the clouds would hide it a little
not gonna tag anyone this time but any followers who want to do this consider yourself tagged and @ me so I can see what u listen to
