pairing: steve harrington x fem!reader

part two here!

talk steve to me

it hadn't been too long since you and steve had moved in together. maybe an hour or two.

finally, finally, after everything that had happened with the upside down and saving enough money after taking extra shift after extra shift at the video store, you and steve had made it possible to move to a two-bedroom apartment in pennsylvania.

now, you and steve were both showered and in your pajamas, which consisted of steve's old basketball tees and his boxers. you were both seated in what later would be your living room, with your small tv in front of you, playing some shitty soap opera while you ate some crappy pizza you had bought in the pizzeria in front of the apartment building.

you hadn't had the time to get your table and chairs from steve's van, so here you were, sitting on the floor in your new home, eating pizza in the dark with only the light coming from the tv lighting up the room.

when you finished eating what you were sure was going to get you a stomach bug tomorrow, you went to your en-suite bathroom, doing your routine while steve waited on the mattress, still laying on the ground, for him to use the bathroom after you.

when you came back, using your hands to gather your hair to make a ponytail, your scrunchie between your teeth, you frowned at steve, who was sitting with his legs crossed and head hanging down, an almost invisible from the angle pout. "what'sh gotchu sho pfouthy?" you mumbled incoherently with the hairtie still in your mouth.

you finished up your ponytail, walking towards your boyfriend and croushing down in front of him, laying a hand in his that were locked together in his lap. "honey? you okay?"

steve huffed and turned to lay on his back, acting childishly by stretching his arms up and making grabby hands at you. you laughed and carefully laid on his chest, one of your hands supporting your body so you wouldn't potentionally crush your boyfriend, and the other went up to his hair, hands combing through the strands.

"will you tell me why your pretty face is lookin' all sad and moody, baby?"

he hugged you tighter and buried his face in your neck, inhaling your scent and pressing kisses on the bare skin, making you hum contently. "i mhsh the kifs," he mumbled into your neck, and you giggled at the vibrations of his voice on your skin. "what was that, stevie?"

he groaned and broke away from the warmth of the crook of your neck, looking at you through hooded eyes and with a frown on his lips. you pecked his nose, getting his lips to twitch upwards your slightly. "you gotta tell me what's in that pretty, hairy, head of yours, harrington. that's how's gonna be from now on. no more hiding from each other, got it?" you squinted at him with a smile, and he mirrored your grin, though his was weaker.

"miss the kids," he told you. you pouted, throwing yourself to the side so you could lay on the bed, cuddling up to him with your arms around your neck.

steve laid his head between your brests, nuzzling into the soft skin of your chest and sighing when he got comfortable. "oh, baby," you cooed. "you know they're gonna finish highschool soon, right? and then they're gonna go to college somewhere near and they're gonna visit all the time, and they'll sleep here in our living room in sleeping bags, and we'll have sleepovers all the time," you went on, making his smile slowly grow on his face. he sighed, giving your covered breast a kiss.

"yeah, you're right."

"and remember, we always visit my family for the holidays, so we can just get together then," you reminded him. he nodded into your chest, hugging you tighter.

you pressed a kiss to his head. "get some rest, honey."

"g'night, sweetheart."

Chapter 6!!

WOOOO!! @frenderbender09 @bluehamster08

The crew headed into Zapp Brannagains ship, Leela huffing about angrily as she avoided his eye contact with her. She had a right to punch him right in that stupid face of his, but he'd probably like that too. What a creep.

"So, where are we headed again, somewhere fine and course so me and lovely Leela here could go on a date, perhaps?", the captain winks at her and she rolls her eye at him, scoffing with her arms crossed, "never gonna happen", he states as a matter of fact, like it's the most obvious thing in the world.

Zapp chuckles, "I'm sure you'll change your mind soon enough"

"Oh shut up for fuffs sake!", the professor yells out, "set course for the Mahera quadrant".

Kif speaks up, "the Mahera quadrant?...but that's one of the most highly dangerous areas in the whole galaxy!", he voices his concern instantly. Amy grabs his hand and kisses his cheek, "don't worry, Kiffy, I'll protect you". As this happens, Kif giggles with a slight blush on his cheeks and stutters.

Meanwhile, Fry only sighs, "I can't believe he's gone missing on his birthday...I didn't even get to give him my gift yet", he mutters to himself. Leela places a hand on his shoulder and smiles softly, "we'll find him, Fry or we'll die trying". That gave the orange haired man a glimmer of hope, so he curls his lips upwards back.

—

Will ran back to the house. He needed to get help. Backup. Bender was kidnapped, taken away. He pants as he slams the front door to their cottage home open. Jewels and Anas eyes went wide, while Bon just looked up at his dad and giggled, reaching up.

Ana spoke, "where's Bender?", she asks with worry on her voice.

"Get your stuff...", Will pants, "and every weapon you can find".

—

Bender was back in the cage, he clutches at the collar around his neck in pain. A hiss sound came out of his voice box and he looks around before trying to bend the bars open again. Suddenly he sees a material labeled, "unbendable". Shit.

He sighs and falls onto the floor, his knees to his metal chest. The bot doesn't speak but then he sees the man walk back in clapping. A slow kind of clapping. "I applaud your efforts, bending unit, I really do...", he laughs vily. "However, it's no use...", he grins at looks down at the bot in the cage below him. Bender growls and clutches at the bars tighter. Suddenly a finger on his so called chin pulled his visor into the bars and his optics widen, "what the hell!?" He yells out and tried to pull away, but the human wouldn't allow it to happen.

"Get off!!", he yells to no use again. Suddenly his mouthplate was pressed against this man's lips. Disgust feeling him. He felt like throwing up. A moment later he was let go and fell to the ground weakly with a groan. "I 'oughta kill you...bastard...", the bending unit scowls.

The man laughs at this again, "id like to see you even try...", but his eyes widen when Bender shoots his extendable arm through the bars of the cage and wraps it around the humans neck. He was trying to choke him out. The horizontal lines in the foghat grey robots grill lifted upwards when he sees it's working, but fell quite quickly when he ogles a remote in the man's hand. "What the hell is-GRK!?"

That same painful electricity shooting through his circuits and he lets the guy go, retracting his arm and falling onto his knees. He clutches at the shock collar as his eyes sparked and optics change. Artificial tears spilling from his yellow eyes. "STOP!!! STOP IT!!!", he begs.

The human kicks the robot to the floor through the bar holes and smirks when he sees the robot curl up into a ball. "Cute...", he chuckles.

Bender didn't know who this man was, but he must be some kind of messed up robosexual. It was obvious by the way Hutz was eyeing him up and down. Probably also a fucking masochist based on what he did to Ana and Bon. He wanted them back. They protected him. Made him feel emotions like Fry had. Instead in a more maternal way than a love way. Fry...oh God, Fry! He was supposed to go on a date the night of his birthday!

Too bad that wouldn't happen. Let's face it? There's no route of escape here. The bars are unbendable, he had a shock collar on and this guy was a sicko.

He sighs, reaching into his chest compartment only to realize nothing was there. No, no, no, no! His stuff! And...the stuff he stole. But most importantly, his stash of beer! Crap! Crap! Crap! He'd be unable to fuel up unless he asked. The little bot trembled, hugging himself more and refusing to cry. He was tough. He was macho. He had an ego and an in-your-face interface. He couldn't break that.

However, It feels like a part of him has already been broken.

LOOK AT ME

Hero x Y/N

Summry:

Hero & Y/N have been friends for years. You can't even understand why he is friends with you much less love you more than a friend.

You and Hero had been friends since you were eight. You moved to a new school, shy, and quirky. You knew why you two were friends then but now. Now was a totally different story. You both had grown. Yet, you had grown wider. You hated shopping for clothes. They made you feel disgusting. You hated your body. All the curves and rolls. Hero was a different story. He sprouted up into a very handsome lad. He was perfect. That body stayed in shape because of football. He had no problem with his image.

All girls wanted to be close to him like you but hated you. The guys wanted to be him and gave looks when he was around you. At twenty-four things were very different.

You were listening to your music while studying in the library. You went every Friday. Getting that degree was not going to come easily. So, every day since freshman year, you were caught in a text book on Friday, instead of out with friends.

This Friday was not one of those days. This Friday there were no school books. It was the end of the semester and classes were over. There was just one last hoorah. Party of the year is what some would say. But it's a party they throw every year when students get out of school. Even though Hero didn't go to university he was still always invited, given who he was.

I was only invited because I was friends with him. I very rarely ever went to any party. I rather be reading or finding new ways to spend my time. Especially away from people.

So, getting an invite, especially from Mr. Tiffin himself was weird. "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Since this is a library and I like to read. I'm having tea with the queen." I try my best to get back to the book I'm reading. But Hero just stands there. I sigh, looking up. "What do you want?" I lay my book down.

He smirked. "I'm so glad you asked. See, there is this party happening. You know the one that ends the school year. 'The party'."

"Yeah. You go to it every year even though it's always the same."

"Not every year. Last year Kif..." I glared at him. "Anyways, come this year. You have only been to one."

I huffed a laugh. "That's all I need. It was awful. Someone almost puked on me."

"Almost being the key word. Please say you'll come. It'll be fun. I need a wing woman."

"I'm not going to be your wing woman Hero. You can find someone on your own."

He sighed. "Fine. I really would love if you came. I am leaving for Germany for a press event the day after tomorrow. I just wanted to spend time with you. Have fun."

"Why didn't you just say that in the first place. Gesh, it's like you just met me Hero." I smack him playfully. "I'll come. Once I'm over it, I'm out."

"Of course. Just be there to chill. I'll pick you up tonight at nine." He kissed my cheek and walked off.

I really don't want to go. But Hero loves these end of the year parties. He loves hanging out with his friends. They always miss him considering he works a lot. I was the only one not allowed to miss him. If I was on break, he would take me with him.

I sighed, gathering my things. I better get started on what to wear. God knows I need the time. I had no clue what I was going to wear. I hate clothes.

I had been putting on and taking off clothes for 2 hours now. My room was a mess. My mother would kill me if she saw how it was. I finally grabbed some clothes and jumped in the shower.

I straightened my hair, put on a little makeup, and picked out my favorite doc Martens. I thought I looked good. I just hope it was an appropriate outfit for a end of the year university party.

I sat there waiting patiently reading. There was a hard knock. Thank God, finally. I opened the door to a very handsome Hero. I loved his outfit. He could wear a potato sack and still look good.

"Wow. You look incredible Y/N." He lingered his eyes up and down your body. Your cheeks heating up.

"Thank you. Ready to party?"

He cleared his throat. "Of course. Let's go."

As we got closer and closer to the party. You got more anxious. You hated that you came. But you only did it for him. You love him. Even if it never went anywhere. The car pulled up to a huge house full of people. You tighten your hands on your skirt.

Hero's hand laid on yours. "When you want to go, just tell me. You look amazing. Let's just have fun. Right."

You nodded. "Yeah, fun. I'll do my best."

He kissed your cheek before helping you out. As you two got further to the front door and more people noticed Hero, they swarmed. Hero politely said hi and kept walking. He never let go of your hand doing so.

The girls were giving you looks. You couldn't help he was your best friend. But their looks also made you feel like you didn't deserve to be there by his side.

"Hero. Can we get a drink?" You needed to calm your nerves. You rarely drank but this was an exception.

Hero led the way to the kitchen. He poured you both a drink. The kitchen had less people. It felt better not having all their biddy eyes on you. Hero was talking to a couple of the frat brothers. There had been only one you liked out of the group. He was like a golden retriever.

He came up, giving you a hug. "Long time no see. How's school?"

"Nice to see you Dylan. It's been good. I study like crazy."

He gave a crooked grin. "Of course. Got to pass those classes. I think I failed a class but I'll get tutor next semester."

"If you need a tutor. I can help." You took a sip of your drink nervously.

"Really? That would be amazing. Who knows we might even be more than study partners."

You giggled. Was he flirting? "What do you mean?"

"Go on a date with me?"

Before you could answer an arm swung around your shoulders. "Babe, who's this?"

You gave Hero a death glare. Dylan spoke. "I was just asking Y/N on a date." Dylan looked to you. "What do you say?"

Hero stiffened. "She's taken."

"By who?" You glared at him.

Dylan chuckled. "Hero if you want her, you're going to have to make her aware." Dylan looked back to you. "You got my number."

He kissed your cheek before leaving. If only his kiss left behind a burn like Hero's. Thinking of, you turned to him. "What the actual hell was that?"

He just gave you a long look over. "I saw how he was looking at you Y/N. He only wants one thing."

Hero had no right. "So. Maybe I wanted it too."

"Don't be bloody serious. He is only asking you out to prove something to his friends."

"It doesn't matter Hero. You don't do that. You were a dick." You stomped off. You didn't know what Hero was playing at. He couldn't say those things when you'd never be his. You decided to go upstairs to get away from the loud music. There was one room no one was allowed in. The parents room. It had a balcony. Good place to get away.

You watched as college students stumbled out drunk. Some were making out. Others arguing. The night was not going too well. You wished Dylan would have never spotted you.

A throat cleared. "You know you can't be in here. Off limits."

Hero. "Exactly why I am. Plus it's quiter."

"I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you Y/N. I just don't like the guy. He only ever wants one thing from girls."

You scoffed a laugh. "Doesn't matter. He would have never actually went with me. I can't give him what he wants."

"What do you mean?" You stayed silent. "Y/N, look at me."

You turned around to see Hero. More serious than you've ever seen him. "I mean, I'm not his type. I'm not thin."

Hero slowly stalked over to you. Lifting your face to meet his. "You're beautiful."

"You have to say that. You're my best friend." You tired looking away. That made Hero keep your head in place too keep looking at him.

"I want to be more." You searched his eyes. There was nothing but truth.

"What if others talk?"

"I don't care. I've been hiding my feelings for too long. Dylan flirting with you just proved I needed to man up and tell you." Before you could say another word, his lips crashed into yours. It was slow, sweet, want.

You tired blushing away. "Look at me, Y/N. I want you. Us."

You knew that's what you wanted. You just never dreamed it would happen. You smiled. "I want you, us, too."

Chapter 9

Previous chapter | Next Chapter

Amory had never minded waking up early. As a kif, she’d wake up at dawn, trying to catch the sun coming up before her parents woke up. She did, however, mind being woken up by yelling in the hallway. An occurrence that had become all too frequent in her new home.

“You know what? It’s no big deal.” Izzie told George, as Amory rubbed her eyes and got off the bed, with a sigh. As she opened her door the tall blonde kept talking. “You don’t have to lie, I get it, you have needs.” She smiled at the boy, as Amory looked at them with a slight bedhead.

“What’s going on out here?” Meredith asked the pair, opening her bedroom door herself.

“I was thinking the same thing, you beat me at asking it.” The shorter blonde walked towards them.

“Nothing.” George hurried to answer.

“Nothing…” Izzie agreed, suspiciously.

As George walked away from the three women, the former model explains. “he’s freaked out because I caught him playing with little Jimmy and the twins.” The younger intern’s eyes widened.

“I have a girlfriend.” The boy defended himself.

“We know you do, George. But it’s okay if you still have some alone… fun.” The young girl reassured him.

As he slams the door of his bedroom, Derek joined the group and Izzie and Amory walked away, the second one mumbling about how they kept waking her up with their yelling.

~~~~~~

“Patient presented with abdominal pain and blood in his urine,” Alex explained as he, George, and Amory presented their patient. He was laying on a hospital bed, bis pregnant wife by his side. “Once his work came back unrevealing, the urologist suggested a cystoscopy.”

“Reason?” Dr. Burk inquired.

“To get a look inside his bladder.” The female intern answered.

“I appreciate you doing this, Preston.” The patient thanked his old friend. “I know this is a little out of your field.”

“It’s not a problem. It gives my interns something to do.”

“I have a feeling you keep them plenty busy.” The man joked. “We were on the same frat in Tulane. It’s gone from torturing pledges to torturing interns, am I right?”

“Be very careful with how you answer that.” The attending warned. Amory had never been his biggest fan, but she didn’t dislike him either. The three interns kept silent.

“I could tell some stories…” The patient threatened.

“Bill, you have a camera snaking up your Mojo, it’s not the time to cross me.”

“It isn’t anything too serious?” The wife spoke up.

“That’s what this procedure will tell us. You don’t worry about anything but growing my godson in there.” The attending reassured her.

“He kicks like you wouldn’t believe…”

“A badass, just like his father.” The surgeon smiled down at his friend. “Move a little to the right.” He instructed George, the one performing the procedure. “Your other right… there!”

“What do you see, what is it?” The patient asked.

“Could by any number of things. Madden, take a biopsy of the mass. Karev en O’Malley, schedule a CT. Let’s not worry until we have to.”

~~~~~~

As Amory walked down the hall, she felt someone grab her by the arm and, before she knew it, she was in a closed with George.

“Oh god, ever heard of verbal communication?” She squealed.

“Lena, I need your help.” The boy paced around.

“What, what happened?” She started to worry, and she put her hand on her friend’s shoulder to stop him.

“O, I was having this rash and I got a biopsy to find out what it was. It turns out, I.. I have, um, syphilis.” He whispered as the girl’s brows shot up.

“Oh, okay, um, want advice or just needed a vent?” She asked, taken by surprise.

“Advice… Izzie found out and she was not helpful at all. And I told Alex, but he didn’t help either.” He confessed. The younger girl thought for a second and came up with a game plan.

“Okay, here’s what we’re gonna do. First things first, you have to tell Olivia.” As he tries to protest, she cut him off. “I don’t care that it might be embarrassing, you have to, she’s your girlfriend. It doesn’t matter if she gave it to you or the other way around, she needs to know. I can be there for moral support if you like. Then you need to get some shots of penicillin. I can give them to you if you’d like to keep it between us, but seeing the track-record of people gossiping, it might spread fast…” The young girl offered, a calming smile on her face. “It’s going to be fine, no need to panic.”

“Okay, fine! I’ll tell her, but if it goes badly, I’ll need you to be there for me after.” The boy confessed, leaning on the girl, now feeling a lot calmer. She looked at the boy with love in her eyes and he returned the gaze, the girl still oblivious about his feelings towards her.

~~~~~~

“There’s definitely a growth, protruding into the bladder, but look at the edges. I don’t think it’s a tumor.” Burke examined the ultrasound George and Alex had taken.

“It’s kind of shaped like an ovary.” Alex joked, immediately being reprimanded by the attending.

“Is that the answer you’re going to give the patient, Dr. Karev? This is one of my oldest friends, you might want to take this seriously.”

“I’m sorry, sir.”

Just then, Amory entered the room, labs in hand. “Dr. Burke, I’ve got the labs back. They did a chromosome analysis of the tissue, you won’t believe this.” She handed the attending the labs and pointed to the information. “Right there.”

“Bill has an ovary?” The cardio surgeon looked at his friend through the glass, confused.

~~~~~~

As George and Alex sat with Amory, Cristina, and Izzie at lunch, the Asian woman greeted the worried boy. “Het, Syph-Boy.”

“Cristina!” Amory smacked her arm.

“You told her?” George looked at the three of them who knew, betrayal in his eyes.

“I would never!.” The short blonde defended herself while eating her salad.

“Just Cristina…” Izzie admitted in unison with the smaller girl’s answer.

“It’s got a nice ring to it, kind of like Superboy, only diseased.” Alex teased.

“Izzie didn’t have to say a word. Around here the only thing that spreads faster then disease is gossip.” Cristina put a grape in her mouth.

“I did tell you it would happen…” The small girl raised her brows.

“Not true. Just cause Izzie can’t keep her mouth shut doesn’t mean everyone else…” He is interrupted as Meredith sits with the group.

“Hey, George, how are you feeling? I’m sorry for the syphilis…” Amory looked at her friend in an I-told-you-so manner, as the boy seemed to panic slightly.

“Everyone in this hospital knows?!” Izzie tried to hide her smile and Amory elbowed her.

“They know you���re a player.” Alex shared.

“You’re disturbed.” The boy in question and Amory said in unison and the small girl whispered “Jinx.”

“Treu.” He admitted. “Everybody’s got a secret, just be glad your is out in the open.”

“Oh yeah, Alex, what’s yours?” Cristina asked.

“Show me yours, I’ll show you mine.” He replied as the small girl looked at her friend, knowing she knew more than the rest of the group. “I bet you’ve got some serious kinky skeletons in your closet.”

“What’s in my closet is none of your business.” She deadpanned.

“Well, I don’t have any secrets, my life is boring,” Izzie replied, taking a sip of her water bottle.

“Everybody’s got something to hide…” Meredith participated, everyone, staring back at her. Amory realized she knew about the curly-haired woman’s secret too and thought to herself how she’d come to keep so many.

~~~~~~

As Amory went to keep George company through his shot, she heard Meredith. “George, it’s not a big deal. And you have a cute butt.”

Amory opened the curtains hissing to the group. “Hey! Thought I’d keep you company.” The young intern said as she saw George already bent over.

“Oh, get out, you’re doing it wrong.” Meredith pushed Alex out of the way, who was previously supposed to be the one giving the shot, despite George’s protests.

As the man left, Izzie came in. “Uh, what are we doing here?”

“Breaking George’s spirit.” The boy answered.

“Curing George’s syph.” Amory answered. As Meredith was about to administer the sgot, they heard Cristina call out for Izzie.

“Izzie?”

“Yeah?”

“Mr. Franklin’s procedure’s been scheduled for after lunch.” She opened the curtains and came in as well, the shot still not administered.

“We are saving George from a future of sores and insanity.” The taller blonde replied.

“Oh, cute butt,” Cristina commented.

“Told you,” Meredith said to George.

“It is cute, like a baby’s.’ Izzie gave her opinion.

“Are gonna do it or not Mer? I can take over if you’d like.” The short blonde suggested.

“You know what, I’ve spent hours, days, years, imagining myself half-naked in a room with four women. The reality is so much better.” George said sarcastically, making all of them laugh a little before Amory spoke up.

“Okay, he’s clearly uncomfortable. You three leave, I’ll do it.” The young intern shooed them out of the door, despite their protests.

“Thank you, Amy. You’re a lifesaver.” The boy thanked her once they were alone, the girl finally administering the shot.

“You do have a cute butt, though.” She giggled.

~~~~~~

As everyone was in a conference room, summoned by the chief, he started his speech. “Three interns, four residents, and sic nurses on the surgical have been diagnosed with… syphilis.” Amory, who was standing next to Cristina and Meredith, looked at the boy sitting in front of her.

“There are over seventy thousand cases every year. Underdiagnosed, syphilis can lead to blindness, insanity, and death. If you are having unprotected sex with another member of the staff, get tested. This is not a request.”

“I’ve never been so glad I’m not getting any.” The short blonde giggled to her friends.

“Patricia will now give you a safe sex demonstration.”

As the woman pulled out a banana and a condom, the small girl buried her head slightly on Cristina’s shoulder, and the room burst into laughter. “This is worse than when they did this in high school.” She whined, cringing. “I mean, why did they think I’d need to learn how to use a condom at eleven?”

~~~~~~

After scrubbing in on her patient’s surgery and finding out he was sterile, despite his very much pregnant wide, Amory sat in the tunnels with Meredith, Cristina, and Izzie.

“You want to perform an unauthorized autopsy?!” Amory squealed lightly.

“I know you, Cristina. You do not want to be known as the new 007. An autopsy clears your name.” Izzie said.

“Cristina, no.” Meredith argued.

“What about Franklin’s wife? you saw the way she was looking at me, she wants the autopsy. She didn’t want to fight with her daughter. She looked so sad…” The former model told her.

“Izzie Stevens, you cannot do an unauthorized autopsy based on a look! I mean, what ere you gonna say ‘my patient gave me consent through a stare’?” Amory reprimanded.

“Okay, Cristina Yang, license to kill.” Izzie looked at the woman in question as she thought it over.

“Okay, I’m in.”

“I’m so not involved in this,” Meredith said.

“Me neither.” Amory let out.

“Hey, this is fight club, no one talks about it,” Cristina told them sternly, Amory backing away slightly. “We have to do it when Bailey is not around.”

“Bailey’s always around. She’s everywhere and knows everything.” The taller blonde answered.

“Yeah, she’s like this all-knowing, omnipresent being…” The youngest girl said, scrunching up her nose. “... like a god.” She completed, raising her brows at her discovery.

“Well, then we’ll have to take out chances,” Cristina argued.

“Bailey’s got something tonight from seven to eleven, you two will be the last thing she’s worried about.” The three girls stared back at Meredith.

“How do you know that?” The Asian asked.

“What kind of thing?” Izzie followed.

“Oh, I can’t tell you that. It’s fight club too.” Meredith left and Amory pouted slightly, hating not knowing.

“If I’m missing out on a real patient because of this, they’ll call me 007 because I killed you.” Cristina turned to the blond.

~~~~~~

As Amory got a page from Dr. Shepherd, she entered an OR, finding Meredith, Bailey, Derek, and the rest of the surgical team around the table. “You paged, Dr. Shepherd? Oh, chief!” She said as she noticed who was the patient on the table.

“Dr. Madden.” The chief greeted.

“Come in.” The neurosurgeon told her as she entered the OR, head tilted in confusion, holding a mask over her mouth and nose. “As you might have realised, we’re going under the radar, Chief Webber would rather keep this private.”

“Oh, okay. Do you mind if I ask what happened?” The girl turned to the man in question.

“I’ve got a small tumor against my optic nerve. You are a bright young woman, you surely understand why I don’t want it to be the newest gossip in this hospital.” He explained.

“Certainly.” The girl nodded.

“I paged you because I need you to guard the door. You do no let anyone in, no matter what circumstances, got it?” Dr. Shepherd explained, looking at her with an encouraging look. “I’ve been told about your motherly stare, put it to good use.”

“Yes, Dr. Shepherd. I won’t let you down.” The girl smiled and left the room, ready to stand at the entrance for the next few hours.

~~~~~~

A few hours later, the girl is startled by Dr. Bailey opening the door behind her.

“Oh, God, you scared me. How did it go?” Amory jumps slightly.

“We’ll only know when he wakes up. Madden, do you know where Stevens and Yang are?” She asks, her voice serious, trying to get some information out of the girl.

“I think they’re checking on post-ops, why?” She answered convincingly, keeping a straight face.

“See, Grey, if you’re gonna lie you could at least do it well. You can take turns watching the Chief.” Amory’s eyes widened slightly, worried that her friend’s cover might have been blown, and she stared at Meredith while the resident walked away.

“What did you tell her?” The blonde panicked slightly and the other intern shrugged. “I’ll page them, at least they’ll get a heads up.”

~~~~~~

Sitting by the Chief’s bed, filling in some charts, Amory saw the man’s eyes flutter open.

“Chief! Welcome back.” She smiled down at him.

“Madden.” He returned the expression.

“You can see?” The intern squeaked excitedly. “You can see! Oh, that’s so great.” The girl sighed in relief, before following her boss’ stare to the hallway, where Derek kissed Meredith’s forehead. Unsure of what to do, she rushed to close the blinds, smiling innocently at him.

“Too late, Madden, too late.” He told her.

Sometime later, as Meredith entered the room to switch with the shorter girl, the man speaks up. “Meredith, he’s an attending. You’re an intern.”

“You saw us?” The dirty blonde asked. “You can see!”

“He can see.” Amory agreed, smiling lightly.

“I’m gonna tell you what your mother would say if she were here. You’re making a mistake, a big one.”

“And I would tell my mother it’s not a mistake.” The dirty blonde assured, as Amory left the room.

~~~~~~

In the locker room, Amory was changing out of her scrubs, preparing to leave work, when she heard George yell to Olivia. “You and Alex?” He launched himself toward the boy in question, and both fell to the floor. “You gave me syphilis?”

“George!” Amory rushed to separate the boys, as George punched Alex.

She pulled the shorter boy back and held him, as Cristina stood in front of him. Meredith held Alex, and Izzie in the middle of both boys.

“What happened?” She questioned the boy.

“He was sleeping with Olivia. He’s the one that gave me syph,” he whispered, as his friend held him.

Alex wiped the blood off his face, leaving the room along with the rest of the group, leaving Amory and George behind, as she took his wounded hand. “You have to be more careful with there, you know. They might be worth millions in a few years.” She joked, the boy chuckling.

“I can see it already, us both in dark blue scrubs and you still having to look after me.” Both giggled.

“Same here though. You are one of the few people I can let my guard down, you know. I appreciate it.” The girl smiled at him softly, finishing cleaning his wounds. “All done.”

The boy sat next to her, his head falling on her shoulder. “Thank you, for always taking care of me, Amy. I don’t know what I’d do without you.” She patted his head and looked down, as they stayed in the same position for a couple more minutes. all the while, unknown to each other, they both pictured what their life would be like if perhaps they became something more than friends.

I can't wait for Callie to realize Eclipse has z-e-r-o critical thinking skills.

Callie: Don't climb up to the roof when it's icy, it's slippery, you could fall

Eclipse: okay (does it anyway and falls).... how could this happen?!

Ever seen Futurama and how Kif does that resigned, tired sigh with Brannigan?

Yeah, Callie does that a lot with Eclipse. A LOT.

*The boys come home, Eclipse is limping*

Callie: *sigh* Dare I ask?

Silver: Remember when you told Eclipse not to chase after cars?

Callie: Yeah?

Silver: He took that literally.

Callie: Meaning?

Eclipse: Bicycles are faster than you think.

Silver: Yeah, the guy really freaked when Eclipse grabbed his bike rack. Dragged him for at least 2 blocks.

Callie: *siiiiigh*

Do you mind sharing about Starfallverse? Your OCs are very interesting! I love it whenever you tag a post with one of those guys.

ABSOLUTELY I LOVE TALKING ABOUT THEM

(edit 27/04/2023 this & the post linked here are WAY outdated u can find a more accurate post here)

here is a post where i talked about them at great length but there are some additions to be made! under the cut bcs. long

mages are now called warlocks! and there exist things called Nature Spirits. they're basically like. hm. the culmination of a particular area of land with plants + animals in it. they're almost like representatives, although that isn't quite right. nature spirits are very powerful and their magic is a different thing from most magic so they're unaffected by the starfall. mostly wizards interact with nature spirits.

nature spirits don't have names, and are instead named based on the area they formed from. they also have informal nicknames. they have a human form, and an animal form. there is always something distinctly wrong about them, when they're in animal form.

sometimes it's obvious. a duck with cat's eyes. a deer that grins with a mouth full of human teeth as you raise your hunting rifle; it doesn't turn tail and run, it doesn't make a sound, it just grins at you knowingly. a rabbit with two sets of ears. a fox covered in fungi and mushrooms, rolling itself in beds of spores.

sometimes it's more subtle. you stare and stare and stare and your mind is dead set on the idea that that is not a stoat, whatever it is it cannot have ever been a stoat, parading about the thought of one, like the fleeting memory of a dying man's first hunting trip. it simply stares back at you, unafraid. why would it be? it's not the prey here.

some nature spirits are:

kif

-

The man sighs, a staticky otherworldly quality to it. You stare up at him as he pinches his nose bridge. His appearance was sudden, and you'd fallen. Interestingly, his hair is split down the middle, one side a light blonde and the other a deep black, like the night.

"Offering?" he says. You shake your head, mutely. The wisdom is always to never speak a word to nature spirits. They'll twist it around, rile you up, use your intelligence against you.

He sighs again, shakes his head. The moon earrings make a light, jingling sound as they move through the air, akin to bells.

"Okay, fine. Whatever. Just - just go. I'll let you go this time, just don't kill anything. Leave everything as you find it."

And then he's gone, and a raven left in his place. It stares at you for a few moments, and then flies off. You get out as quick as you can, but mainly out of gratitude rather than fear.

-

he's very cool! one of my favourites. very homoerotic with The Wizard Graceira, and has known Graceira (as in, the entire wizarding Name and not the current Graceira) for a long time.

rabbit ma'am

-

She observes you like a hawk, ears straight up. It's unnerving, and you don't move. She looks.. curious, in a distinctly cruel way. A cat catching sight of a vole.

"Hello." she says. Her voice is soft, like those leaves covered in fuzz, or like caterpillars. There's also something distinctly wrong with it, like nettle stings, but.. different.

You reach into your pouch of coins, carefully, not taking your eyes off of her. Feels like she's waiting for an opportunity to pounce. You hold out eight silvers to her, and she examines them.

"Mm, I see," she trills, "Then you'll be on your merry way."

And then she's gone, along with those silvers you offered.

You travel through the night to get out of these woods. It feels like she's following you, waiting for you to slip up.

-

she's very dangerous, and sharp. her animal form is a rabbit with two sets of ears.

wound guy

i don't actually know much about him! his neck is cut open and it'll never heal. his animal form is like a mix between an axis deer and a chinese water deer, bigger than a normal deer and with moss all over his back. he's weird, but i like him

also, there are now two groups; The Congregation of Colleges, a collection of warlock colleges and general schooling organisations. they have a high monopoly on what sort of magic is taught to warlocks. the congregation is headed by an individual known only as The Delegate, who i currently know very little about, but i know they have ulterior motives.

then there's The Lunar Council, headed by The Grandmaster Of The Stars. the current Grandmaster is a wizard named lusara. she is.. very out of her depth, and constantly tired.

thats pretty much it :]

Boring convo cut out.

This just really creeps me out. I hate the "Does your husband know?" as if I need his permission or that I'm doing something immoral or wrong.

Then "I really blew it". Blew what? If ALL you want is completely clean chat ever, then me getting annoyed wouldn't be an issue. But if your first thought is "I blew it" to me getting annoyed, you obviously had something more in mind.

The "I promise". Yeah dude. I've heard that. I'm sure you're TOTALLY the lone exception.

Then after promising he's the exception, telling me that I'm attractive for a reason. Just.......ugh. Why do you need to tell me you're attracted to me if you JUST want chat? You know why?

BECAUSE YOU DON'T FUCKING WANT CHAT. YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE NOT THE EXCEPTION.

I have two married guys I chat with. Neither one ever asked if my husband knew. And neither one has made any comment about my attractiveness. The closest was one guy saying he really liked chatting to me because I was fun, witty, and the chats were enjoyable.

I find myself channeling Kif more and more often.

On this episode of When Fiction Punches Reality With Biting Satire:

-

Professor Farnsworth: Good news, everyone! Those asinine morons who canceled us were themselves fired for incompetence.

[the crew cheers]

Professor Farnsworth: And not just fired, but beaten up, too... and pretty badly.''

[the crew cheers, somewhat less enthusiastically]

Professor Farnsworth: In fact, most of them died from their injuries.

[the crew are visibly alarmed, while Bender laughs evilly]

Professor Farnsworth: And then they were ground up into a fine pink powder.

Fry: Why?

Professor Farnsworth: Oh, it's got a million and one uses.

[he takes a can of Torgo's Executive Powder and sprinkles it in his pants]

Professor Farnsworth: Ah, that soothes the fire.

-

Nudar: Sir, would you care to sign our petition?

Bender: I support and oppose many things, but not strongly enough to pick up a pen.

Nudar: That's just what the guys who oppose the things you support want you to do.

Bender: Really? Down with those guys!

-

Eventually, the absurd because ordinary. It's easy to flounder under the tide and pressure of reality caving to the ridiculous.

[therandosfandos]

Summary: "it's not your fault" Bender thinks he caused all this mess. Fry disagrees.

Or

A fix-it ending of sorts where Bender has trouble coping with what he did and how he doesn't trust many people and hides himself away, shutting himself out from everyone after the movies, mainly focused on "Benders Big Score"

Bender was on the couch. The planet express crew was taking some breaks, Hermes was in his office, Zoidberg was in the dumpster, Amy and Kif were hanging out and Leela was practicing her fighting skills. Fry was coming soon.

How could they all go back to normal?

Bender didn't understand. Nothing was normal anymore. Ever since that stupid day when Bender was an idiot, nothing has been the same.

Bender had locked himself away, shutting himself out from others, he refused to drink and had a rust beard around his mouthplate now. He was more sluggish, but he luckily still functioned properly. However, it wouldn't be long before he goes sober.

The door slides open and Fry walks in the room, holding a can of Slurm and a glass bottle of beer. He put the two drinks on the table in front of them and sat next to his robot friend. "Hey Bender" Fry says.

Bender doesn't answer.

Fry continues, "my day was good...I hope yours was good too. We all miss you, y'know? You haven't been the same since.."

Fry stops himself, Bender always had sort of a trigger when it came to the obey virus, time paradox and the nude aliens.

He then continues, "well, you know...that day" Fry finishes.

The human looks at his robot friend and frowns, Bender clearly wasn't speaking. He picks up the alcohol and grabs Benders hand, earning a flinch from the bending unit which was normal at this point. He puts the alcohol in the robots hand and lets go of it.

"Please Bender, drink and fuel up, I don't want to see you like what happened last time you didnt drink again..."Fry begs but to no avail, Benders hand instantly let's go of the bottle and Fry catches it before it could shatter in a million tiny pieces.

The human puts it back on the table and has a very concerned look on his face. Bender hated that he was making his best friend worry.

They sit in silence for a while. Bender occasionally shifting and squirming in his seat. Fry sighs softly. He thinks to himself.

"Bender, can you look at me?" Fry asks politely and gently, gratefully earning what he asked. Bender simply stares at him.

"It's not your fault" Fry says suddenly.

"..." Bender hesitates. Why would Fry say that?...It was his fault, he's the one who clicked no when asked to perform a virus scan. If it was anyone's fault, it was his.

"It is" Bender says a while after. He was thinking for a while before breaking the silence.

Fry disagrees, he shakes his head. "It's not, I don't care what you think, its not your fault Bender, its those stupid pink aliens who just wanted to use you for their own selfish greed..."

"I'm just an object" Bender says.

Fry shakes his head once again, "no you're not, you're not an object Bender, no one deserves to be used in that way, especially not you"

Bender couldn't think of a comeback, he was trembling so much. Fry reaches out but then stops instantly, remembering how Bender hadn't had a hug for centuries as the robot remembers. It's obvious that Bender.wasnt comfortable yet with someone just touching him out of nowhere.

"May I touch you?" Fry asked gently, making sure his voice was soft and he wasn't rough with the bending unit. Bender hesitates before nodding, signaling a go ahead.

The orange haired man pulls Bender close to him softly and hugs him protectively. For the first time in a while, Bender felt safe. He slowly but surely, hugs back and nuzzles his head into Fry's shirt.

"Shh, you're okay. It's all over. You don't have to call anyone master anymore. You dont have to be asked for anything. It's all over. It's not your fault. This shouldn't have happened." Fry whispers these words to Bender and softly, with a sweet silky voice. Benders trembling was still there but it had calmed down.

"Thank you" was all Bender could say as he starts to cry. He tries to hold it in but he broke down as soon as he tried.

Fry doesn't say anything for a while, letting Bender tire himself out. He lets go when the bending unit was ready and picks up the alcohol once again.

"Can I please feed you some beer?" Fry asked.

Bender hesitates once more but nods. Fry smiles softly with a happy smile and reassuring eyes. He opens the beer and starts to slowly pour it down into Benders mouthplate, to which he opened halfway. After it was either gone or Bender felt like he couldn't drink anymore, he closed his mouthplate and Fry put the bottle on the table again.

Fry squeezes Benders hand with an "it's okay" look. Bender felt safer than he has, safer than he or his clones felt in the past of the basement for 1,000,000 years. Safer than he had been in a while.

Fry and Bender took it step by step from there. Getting Bender accustomed back into living normally. It was a long way to go, but at least they were getting somewhere.

Frender Week Day Three: Jealousy

I picked this prompt because they're both the jealous type and I wanted an excuse to write Fry being the jealous one for once. Initially it was gonna be a direct tie in with my 'Friends With Benefits' drabble and the conversation Fry and Leela have would've ended with them breaking up because she'd never liked him like that anyway. And then at the end with Bender, Fry would be like 'well we're both single now, wanna go out?' But writing Leela and Fry in a romantic relationship, even for a little bit made me unhappy so I changed the circumstances to this instead.

~

Bender spoke fairly often about hating humans and wanting to kill them all. Fry had never taken it seriously because had proven many times that if nothing else there were at least humans he made exceptions for, Fry being his best friend was one of them. But one thing Fry had always assumed, or would’ve if he’d ever given the matter any thought, was that Bender would never be interested in dating a human.

That was exactlywhat he was doing though. And… he was happy, very much so supposedly. He seemed enthused by Amy and she with him. Fry had gone out of his way to show nothing but support for them, what kind of jerk would he be if he hadn’t? But… he hated it. He hated seeing them together so much that the temptation to try to break them up was hard to resist at times.

Seeing Bender dating other people had kind of bothered him for a while now. But it had mostly been other robots and none of those relationships had ever lasted long. And Bender had never been so enthusiastic about any of them the way he was with Amy. It was unlike Bender to even be like that, right? He just wasn’t the type. … Fry was just making excuses, huh? There was no logic behind why he hated seeing them together so much and thus he was just searching for a reason to justify his dislike for it when he should be nothing but happy for them.

It ate him up inside, especially since it meant Bender forsook their usual evenings spent watching TV together to go to Amy’s place instead. Even when they were at work Bender chose to spend most of his time with Amy. Eventually Fry just couldn’t keep it to himself anymore, he had to tell someone.

“So you’re jealous,” Leela said matter-of-factly as soon as Fry had finished spilling his guts to her. Maybe while working wasn’t the best time for such a conversation but Bender declining to go on the delivery mission with them to spend time with Amy instead had been the last straw. Fry should’ve been happy to take such an opportunity to try to impress Leela again but was far too preoccupied with Bender to do so – which was probably for the best since it probably wouldn’t have worked anyway, nothing ever seemed to.

“No, why would I be… well, okay I guess maybe I might be a little jealous.” More like a lot. “But he’s supposed to be my best friend and he’s not spending much time with me anymore. And when we are hanging out, Amy’s always there too and I swear it’s like they’re going out of their way to rub it in my face. And I just… I just want to hang out with him again like we used to.”

“Have you tried talking to him about this?”

“No. How could I? He’s my best friend and Amy’s also my friend, and I want them to be happy, you know?” Just not while dating each other. Did thinking that make Fry a bad friend? Probably at least a little, right? But… he just wanted to hang out with Bender, just the two of them, like they’d done before all this started.

Leela didn’t even look at him. “I think you should try talking to him about it.”

“But…”

“No ‘but’s. When you get a chance to, talk to him about both this and about your feelings for him. Lord knows you’ve never had any issue telling me how you feel about me, why should he be any different? Especially since he has a far better chance of actually feeling the same way. And then if you two get together you can finally stop asking me out every other Friday.”

“I don’t ask you out every other Friday.” He’d gotten a lot better about that even if he hadn’t given up on winning her yet. “And what did you mean by…” He cut off as the full meaning of her words hit him. He took a breath to voice a protest, say he didn’t like Bender like that, they were just friends. But… he’d be lying if he tried to say he never thought about Bender like that. He’d never seriously considered it though because Bender was always ready to say he hated humans. An obvious lie given who he liked to hang out with but one that would make any logical person think that he wouldn’t want to date one. But that was apparently not a thing. So really it was Bender’s fault and Fry was officially annoyed with him over it. Also… “He’s dating Amy so I can’t talk to him about that stuff.”

“For now, yeah. I doubt it’ll last for much longer.”

“I don’t know about that. They seem pretty happy together.” Fry would know, they liked to talk about how happy they were together around him all the time. It’s almost like they wanted to make him jealous.

Leela shrugged. “I guess we’ll see once they finish up the last of the Proposition Infinity business. Now get ready go, we’re almost there. The Professor said this package is going to someone important and potentially dangerous so we should handle it with care.”

Fry groaned but at least work would provide a distraction from thoughts about what Bender and Amy might be doing together right now. They were probably on a date or kissing or maybe even having sex. Ugh! How exactly did robots even have sex? … He was going to have to google later.

***

“I’m bored and it’s not working so we should break up,” Bender said as soon as he and Amy were alone in her apartment.

“We should finish making sure Proposition Infinity passes first though,” she replied as she settled on her bed. “We’re kind of like the heads of it.”

“Yeah, yeah, I know. As soon as it passes though we’re through.” Even if they had ended up entangled in campaigning for it on accident it was still a good cause and would result in Bender being famous so it was definitely worth it. Keeping up the pretense of being happy with Amy grew increasingly more annoying every day though.

“That’s fine with me. But uh, we don’t know if this whole thing failed entirely. Fry could be jealous and just hiding it because he wants to be a good friend. I mean you’re jealous of how into Leela he is and you don’t show it often because they’re your friends and you want them to be happy.”

She had a point but… “I doubt it. He’s only ever really had eyes for Leela.” The fact that Leela clearly wasn’t into him was fitting because that was exactly what Bender was going through too. The best he’d been able to get out of Fry with this scheme was annoying him enough to make him leave the room by being overly lovey-dovey with Amy. Which was fun, especially since it had annoyed everyone else too but it wasn’t enough and even that was starting to get boring.

“Hmmm… maybe. But do you think Kif will really take me back after you dump me?”

“I don’t know and I don’t care.”

Amy sighed. “Yeah, I know you don’t because you don’t care about anyone but yourself.”

“I’m glad were on the same page.”

She rolled her eyes. “Whatever. Let’s just hurry up and get the rest of this Proposition Infinity business done so we can finally breakup and be done with this dumb act.”

*Some days later*

“You uh… dropped Amy really fast,” Fry finally said as they strode into the apartment. He’d been dying to bring it up for hours and couldn’t wait any longer. The fact that Leela had been right about Bender and Amy breaking up soon wasn’t surprising because she was right about most things, it’s part of why Fry liked her so much. But the timing of the breakup and just how sudden it had been was still strange.

“Yep,” Bender replied nonchalantly as he settled on the couch and switched on the TV. “I was getting bored of her.”

Fry joined him on the couch, happy their evenings watching TV had been restored. But he wasn’t ready to drop it yet so… “You didn’t seem like you were getting bored of her.” If anything, it had seemed the opposite right up until he’d dumped her.

“Well, I was.”

“And you dumped her because she wanted a monogamous relationship?” It just didn’t make sense because they’d seemed pretty monogamous the whole time they’d been dating, why would that suddenly be a problem?

Bender shrugged. “I guess. I was mostly just looking for a reason to dump her. Now shut up about it, it’s not important.” He was annoyed but seemingly mostly at Fry for asking so many questions and not all that bothered by the actual breakup.

Well as weird as the whole situation was, he was no longer dating Amy and that was a good thing as far as Fry was concerned. And if he wasn’t upset about it then maybe… it was time to take Leela’s advice? She’d never steered him wrong before and the past few days he’d had plenty of time to think about it. He hadn’t really decided anything so maybe he shouldn’t say anything? Or maybe he should? Before Bender ran off and started dating someone else who he might not get bored of, thus killing Fry’s chances permanently. What though and how? Words really weren’t Fry’s strong suit. Well, no sense beating around the bush, right?

“Now that you’re single again you want to maybe go out on a date with me sometime?”

Bender froze for a few seconds before turning to look at Fry. “Are you really asking me out?”

“Uh… yeah. It’s fine if you don’t…”

“What brought this on? You’ve never showed any interest in me like that before so why are you suddenly asking me out now?”

“Well uh…” Blushing, Fry looked away. “I got kind of jealous about you dating Amy and spending so much time with her. It made me realize some things. Or more like talking to Leela about it made me realize why exactly I was so jealous and stuff. It’s fine if you say ‘no’, I’m pretty used to getting turned down and stuff so you don’t have to worry about hurting my uh…” He trailed off at Bender’s borderline evil chuckle. He seemed very satisfied by something, what though?

“Nah, I’m not saying ‘no’. We’re going on a date uh… how about tomorrow afternoon?”

“Yeah, tomorrow afternoon works for me.”

“It’s a date then.”

“All right uh… cool.” Fry wasn’t one to question luck or good fortune even if it was strange. “That’s the easiest I’ve ever had convincing someone to go on a date with me.”

Bender put and arm around Fry, pulling him closer to his side. “Don’t question it.”
