was getting taunted by a british guy on a video game for being bad at geography as an american and I just barely withheld from committing some clown on clown violence by taunting him about his country's inability to understand what a spice is. peace and love on earth violence is never the answer etc etc

Look, I know I posted the wild things that Miko had done, like using purposely inducing an explosive interest in various robot anime in Jasper to act as a smokescreen for the robot aliens and bringing Spike-the-dog to the base, but we're missing the shit that Jack could get away with.
I like to think he's in a home economics class or in world geography, so he's watching YouTube videos at the base for some Swedish dishes and freaks out the Autobots with Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time because they hear all the screaming, broken equipment, terrible cutting, and it manages to result into something actually safe to eat.
Arcee thinks he's shitting, so she actually procures a damn full salmon for him, a fresh one, and tells him to show them. Because Jack is a responsible teenager who's been given the green light by an adult to go nuts, he follows the assignment and calls up a classmate who owes him a favor to borrow a sword and fetches the camping axe from home. To really ham it up, Jack also gets the wobbly wood table that June was going to take to the dump, but her son saw an opportunity that he couldn't bear to slide.
Yep, the kids do give the broken table a Viking funeral. It's tradition, Jack bullshits because when is he ever going to have this kind of chance again? Especially with Optimus taking notes about the entire thing.
Because he can't keep the sword and June is onto what the kids are doing since Arcee tries to check for sound-proofing in the garage and Optimus is asking her questions, Jack starts bullshitting in other ways and the Autobots can't tell because he mixes real information and techniques into the crazy and yields decent food. Think of him like You Suck At Cooking.

You're reading fourth wing?? Please share your thoughts. I heard it sucks absolute ass
I'm only 10 chapters in but here are my first impressions
Rebecca Soler of the TLC audiobooks, which I have listened to a small million of times, is doing the narration. Meaning I am imagining Cinder most of the time. Whoopsie.
The MC's hair. That's all I am gonna say.
The lack of description, the vocabulary, and the MC's sarcastic personality and way of speaking made me think we're in some kind of a modern dragon land. Imagine my surprise when 8 chapters in i find out they don't even have PENS because we ARE IN TRADITIONAL OLD TIMEY FANTASY.
There was a scene where the MC is in a very dangerous situation so she decides to take her mind off of it by... reciting basic information about the country she lives in. It's some of the clunkiest worldbuilding I've ever witnessed and I was too busy laughing to pay attention so now I don't know anything about the geography or political landscape. Like imagine if listing the countries your homeland borders on took up so much of your mental capacity that you forgot you were about to die.
My largest impression: this is just Divergent but they are allowed to say "fuck". It's literally Divergent. Not based on worldbuilding, but the tone and the tropes and the writing style and the characters. This book belongs in 2012 by all accounts except its publication date.
All in all: this is a Rat Circle of Hell book club pick so I did not expect to like it, but. Hot damn. I think you're right and it shall suck absolute ass

list 5 topics you could talk about for an hour without preparing any material (i have reason to yap now).
james “jimmy” stewart.
jimmy is just like. that guy for me. i could probably go on an hours long tirade about him, his films, his characters, his relationships, his military experience, his ptsd, his politics, etc. without interruption. right now i'm specifically thinking of his relationship with henry fonda (who deserves his own honorable mention) which OH MY GOD is one of the best hollywood friendships to date. orson welles said they were either having the hottest affair in hollywood or were the straightest men alive. he realized they were the latter... anyways that leads me into:
old/classic hollywood + its underground queer scene and the hays code.
first of all just old hollywood in general i can go hours and hours about because i just love so many of the actors and actresses. leslie howard and gregory peck are other honorable mentions in that category. however, the queer folks will always be my favorite <3 people like farley granger and marlene dietrich come to mind as well as cary grant and his biwife energy. but just all of the queer undertones from then i just appreciate so, so much. also the HAYS CODE... when i get you... i've seen so many pre-code movies which are just incredible and whenever they put that damn code in place everything got boring... unless they fixed the subtext so then you have films like rope (1948) which is such a good gay film like wtf?? old hollywood is a gem and if you avoid black + white movies or just older movies in general you SUCK!!
franklin expedition.
i've written academic essays about this damn expedition and i had no sources at all. just my mind and a dream. for two years my only thoughts for a future career was becoming a franklin expedition researcher who worked in the arctic. of course that's not gonna work?? okay but these dumb mfers were some of my favorite people on this earth like COMMANDER JAMES FITZJAMES was a real person who walked this earth and i never even got close to touching him. this is sickening. captain francis crozier is ALIVE and WELL on king william island you just cannot see him. i think i will genuinely throw up if they ever find crozier's captain log on the hms terror. the desolation and sickness is just like. eye clawingly scary and i could never fathom what truly went down on that island. i feel so so bad for the cold boys and i love them so, so much.
fallout lore
here’s where i start geekin about shit. FALLOUT IS SO FUCKING GOOD I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS. 3, 4 and new vegas are top tier games (yes nostalgia is clouding my head but idc) i also love 1 and 2 but genuinely cannot play a turn based game like that. okay but the entire plot of new vegas is such a top tier storyline and it’s just such a fun silly game and is like made perfectly for gay trans autistic people i love it. 4 is just The Game you play it doesn’t matter you just end up there and it’s always fun idc what the haters say PRESTON GARVEY MINUTEMEN #1!!! 3 is there. BUT ITS SO BAD ITS GOOD LIKE COME ON ITS ALMOST ENDEARING GOING BACK IN THOSE SUBWAY TUNNELS AND GETTING LOST FOR 30 MINUTES!! these games are the only reason i know the layouts of nevada, washington, d.c., and boston. thank you for the geography lesson AND the history lesson fallout. i love you.
civil war politics and battles
ok this is my latest fixation and one that came out of ABSOLUTELY no where. i literally told myself years ago to never become a civil war buff because it's so stupid and only old men like it but here we are. i for real blame this on david straithairn's portrayal of william h seward because otherwise i would NOT care (sorry ddl, i love you still). also atun-shei films and his humongous catalogue of videos. but oh my godddd i'm so obsessed with these annoying fuckers i hate them ALL. lincoln and seward are just an absolute class-act together and whenever i watched gettysburg (1993) it was just over for me. jeff daniels and c thomas howell when I CATCH YOU (I Want You)!!! it's just all so interesting i love seeing how these men ticked. it's like a zoo exhibition but with random dead racist white guys. (i also had like a 5 minute discussion about lincoln being racist today after i gave a book talk on team of rivals in my college comp. absolute all-timer)
HONORABLE MENTIONS!!!
rms titanic. film in general (i have memorized a shit load of the letterboxd catalogue and I WILL not shut up about my favorite films and directors). classic literature. us presidents. history in general. musical theatre. how arthur morgan is the best fictional character ever written period.
TAGGED BY: @rmstitanics (THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME YAP AND BASICALLY JUST RANT. SORRY!)
TAGGING: @brainandnarfunkel + no one in particular, but know if you see this i want you to… and i know you want to yap as well… :)

[Magi reread] Night 27: The Scar That Can't Disappear
Boy oh boy, here we go.
So, we all know that Morgiana will eventually be sidelined, right? It comes off as a surprise at first, except... then you reread the series, and realize that the signs were there from the very beginning. And this arc is one of them. Don't get me wrong, it's a great arc, it's just...
This arc is named Morgiana Arc. And for a reason - it's just about Morgiana. An isolated arc in this enormous story about the entire world, that bears no effect on anything or anybody other than Morgiana herself. It didn't have to be, but it is. And that's the problem. It's literally five chapters which are significant for nobody but her, a single small event, whereas other characters get these long-ass arc which have so much stuff going on and it also develop them. It doesn't make you think too much when you read/watch it for the first time, but once you know what's coming, it's becomes pretty telling.
But anyway, let's get to it.
Tumblr media
Yeah, no shit her trauma isn't magically resolved by being freed.
Tumblr media
Goltas is still looking after her ;_;
Tumblr media
It's still so sad, knowing that she won't find anybody.
Tumblr media
: (
Tumblr media
Leila looks great in this hair.
Tumblr media
They should've seen each other again at some point
Tumblr media
Leila, again, looks great, but also mmm, building up the upcoming arc already.
Tumblr media
These arrows NEVER disappoint.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Honestly, the way they're drawn. Insane.
Tumblr media
Understandable reaction.
Tumblr media
Happy camel.
Tumblr media
Given these outfits, their country seems to be Sindria.
Tumblr media
Lonely.
Tumblr media
Don't worry, girl. You're doing great.
Also, the memory of Aladdin, who didn't understand why slavery was a thing, appearing here where Morgiana begins to question it, too.
Tumblr media
Aww, she's thinking about them.
Tumblr media
Looks silly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh no
Tumblr media
POV: You're Saya trying to make sense of this map, but you kinda suck at geography.
Tumblr media
Aw, she doesn't want to tell them that so they won't worry.
Tumblr media
Very impossible, yes. There's nobody who could do something like that
Tumblr media
Absolutely nobody. What a shame.
Tumblr media
I wonder who could it be.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Damn, she looks cool.
Tumblr media
And the Fanalis eyes.

Science :3 especially physics and biology. But i also loved English just as much tbhhh. Had a phase where i was super into history and geography too and also in like the fifth grade and twelfth i was super into math, like the satisfactionnnn of solving a problem is just *mwa*
Basically I've liked everything at some point
15. Dream job!
Honestly, not having one. That's my dream. I just wanna live in a nice little cottagecore world and bake pjes and cookies and just take care of the house and chill in the farm and look out at the world everyday and be content. If i could I'd love in the 'Anne with an E' world. Or in the hundered acre woods in a treehouse with Christopher Robin <3

Huge numbers of them are saying is this actually guy who said you should probably get that are you going to have nothing so they're thinking of and stuff and pouring on the oil and one of them says we should probably do something and the other says no way and it was Trump saying no way well trumpsters and he said you're such an a****** to him we're going to get rid of you if you don't stop that so you're getting rid of the trumpsters all over the world and it's a huge gaggle of morlock leaning in their 10 to 1 or better on average it's about 20 to 1 but the norm is 10 to 1 roughly about half the areas and they started saying this we don't need you anymore you're against all sorts of things working at all so they're hitting them and getting rid of them and they're noticing that they have tons and tons of stashes and caches but this is a huge group of warlock noticing it and they went out there to the Grand canyon and fought the trumpsters over it and they're finding them over every area including the United Kingdom and our son says to BGA you have to secure it cuz this guy is so incompetent it hurts it just makes me want to piss all over him across the street he says we're starting to see something you start a fight with him and you're a piece of s*** you don't know what he's up against and you should but you're an idiot don't hear any f****** s*** out of you loser so I'm going to go after him to get him out of here and really the max say you can mine it out and we'll take it because you suck at building it we might end up building it with them somehow or building our own and they'll take a bunch of it which is probably how it works but for Christ sakes someone had to do it I didn't say it was just kind of sitting around and trumpsters are very impressionable they just ran right after it now there's a ton of them here and we're going through them pretty quick but we need reinforcements in Florida
Bja
I got help from our friend this morning he can't stand it at all sorts of stuff and really I can't amount to what he is but that's the way it is I'm a leader of my group so I'm happy with that and we're getting stuff it's working and Trump just have to go they are all complete assholes like this John remillard guy and Woody harrelson you're worse you're a damn piece of s*** 24/7 I'm going to hit you I can't believe that you were fighting me and can't fathom that I hate you the other guy there from battleship quigon you're such a f****** f** as well
Lily
You got enough troops out here to take care of this no and I'm calling again this is terrible
Bja
There's huge areas of iron out there no they're going after the few deposits that are left globally it's our ass if we lose it so we have to go secure it and trumpsters are going to be completely dead shortly at those locations there's still a bunch of them but they'll be gone
Mac
Out of the 100,000 more lock 10,000 are out another 10,000 will be out momentarily almost all the trumpsters are moving to the hot spots to lay claim to it they'll be out today the rest of them were going after momentarily
Thor Freya
We understand you how I usually say but we do see what you're saying we secure their areas that trumpsters areas putting castles and or big bases we will have areas to launch attacks from now what you're saying is it's a logistical thing and geography the Midwest is set up and it's a big base so we do understand what you're saying giant bases can go in where we can secure them and castles can go in where it's not as secure I'm going ahead and doing that and the castles get huge they're really fortresses

Right in front of you
A Halstead!sister
Jay held a strong grip on your upper arm as he led you out to the school hall. "What the hell was that Y/N? Are you happy now? God.... I can't believe you cheated!" he sneered, "EYES UP HERE Y/N!! "
"I'm sorry" you sighed, locking eyes with Jay, silently praying that he would let this go. It was only one time anyway. It wasn't a big deal.
But he let out a hollow laugh, "Thirty percent, Y/N, THIRTY PERCENT. You're going to have to do better than a half-ass apology. What exactly are you sorry for? Huh? For cheating? Or being caught?"
Tumblr media
Requested : Yes by @study-coffee-chicago : They found out she cheated on a test in high school...and Jay's the one who has to pick her up.
Warnings : angry!Jay (lots of it), alcohol, swearing, anxiety attacks
Note : I am so so so sorry this so longg 😭 I ended up so far away from the actual request kayela please don't block mee 😭 butt I've learned alot in writing abt active and passive voices and using more imagery Yayy!! I'm so glad that yall are ok with my grammar thank uu🥺
MASTERLIST HERE
The piles of homework and flashcards you needed to memorize had no end in sight, and now that Will was taking nightshifts along with his usual double shifts, and intelligence was tracking down an underground drug cartel, you spent most days alone, allowing your mind to engulf you.
Every time you sat down to study, you felt a striking pain in your chest. In mere seconds the air was sucked out of your lungs and you found yourself panting, desperate to get oxygen back into your body.
You would be surrounded by books and worksheets and you could swear the walls of your room were closing in towards you, trapping you in a sea of incomplete work.
You failed to follow the schedules and to do lists you had made for yourself. Staring at them, hoping the essays would write themselves.
All you needed, was a break. A moment to relax from anything and everything.
So when your best friend mentioned that her brother used to drink a little before he appeared for an exam, your mind was quick to catch on.
Last night you had borrowed a little bit of beer from Jay's stash of alcohol and took a few sips of it as you studied.
The more you drank, the less bitter it became. It was a weird, new sensation, but it worked nonetheless.
Except now, you were sitting in the girls bathroom at school, ramaging through your notes, trying to recollect what you had learned yesterday.
You saw what you had underlined and highlighted— names in pink and important dates in yellow—but your mind came up blank.
Flipping the pages you saw people in wigs, and castles burning to the ground —None of which you recognized.
A wave of anxiety rippled through you unable to comprehend your next thought —you were going to fail.
Your head was throbbing as you ran a hand down face, massaging your temples trying to calm yourself down.
You took out your water bottle that you had filled with beer and swallowed a few gulps, hoping that it would help you think straight.
You groaned, feeling the sting of alcohol at the back of your throat, popping some mints into your mouth, you ran towards the exam hall.
***
Your foot bounced on the polished wood floors as sweat pooled on your forehead.
You thought you were careful —only taking a peek from your friends answer sheet when Mrs.Ling's back was facing you.
Everything would have worked out if it wasn't for that kid sitting behind you. In a split second your teacher turned around, when he dropped his pen, to see you peering over your partner's desk.
Now you were sitting in the principles office praying that Jay wouldn't be the one picking you up.
You could already imagine his anger at you for pulling him away from his case, only to find you cheated.
Unfortunately luck was not on your side today.
You dare not look at Jay as he entered the office, letting out a huff as he sat down. You could feel the rage emitting him, tension filling the room, as he burned holes looking at you.
"I'll get straight to the point" Your principal started.
"Please" Jay growled, struggling to contain himself. He couldn't believe what he was hearing, when he got the call saying that you had cheated on your midterms.
You and Will were alike,at least he thought so, both good at science and math but weak at geography and history. Nonetheless you continued to secure good grades for the most part.
"Y/n here, was caught cheating from a classmates answer sheet. Our teacher caught her red handed. I truly did not expect this from you. These midterms cost thirty percent of your grade..... "
Pretty soon his voice was muffled like he was getting farther and farther away from you. His figure swayed in front of you as you squinted your eyes to keep him in the center of your vision.
" You are suspended, Mrs halstead"
Your eyes widened , your body choosing the perfect time to bring out what little beer you had taken when you heard those words, letting the alcohol mix with the adrenaline.
"WHAT??!! " Damn, alcohol really bought out your courage as Jay stared at you in shock at your audacity.
"Y/n, your lucky I'm letting you retake the exam. That's only because you've had a clean record so far. I strongly suggest you start preparing early Ms. halstead" your principal said in a firm but monotone voice that left you speechless.
Jay held a strong grip on your upper arm as he led you out to the school hall. "What the hell was that Y/N? Are you happy now? God.... I can't believe you cheated!" he sneered, "EYES UP HERE Y/N!! "
Oh god. Every now and then, the ground would sway beneath you, tiles shifting in your vision. But you counted your steps, carefully putting one foot in front of the other, not wanting Jay to find out what else you had done........ until now.
You tilted your head, only to be met with your brother's piercing stare but little did he know, now it made it infinitely harder to concentrate on your walking.
"I'm sorry" you sighed, locking eyes with Jay, silently praying that he would let this go. It was only one time anyway. It wasn't a big deal.
But he let out a hollow laugh, "Thirty percent, Y/N, THIRTY PERCENT. You're going to have to do better than a half-ass apology. What exactly are you sorry for? Huh? For cheating? *Or being caught?*"
***
You rested your head on the seat as Jay entered the truck, flinching, when he slammed the door shut. Your pounding headache was getting worse by the minute, as your ears started to ring.
You blinked a few times squinting to focus on the road ahead of you but the fast-moving cars and the loud horns made you feel like your head was going to explode.
"Y/n," he addressed you, much calmer now.
You forced yourself to turn to your brother, who wore a confused expression.
But the moment he saw your deshelfed hair and your cracked lips, a wave of worry crashed over him. What the hell?
The truck came to a stop at a red light and Jay immediately scanned you over "Y/n?" he grabbed your chin, his jaw dropping, as he came face to face with reality.
"Are you drunk!!?" he barked , steam basically pouring out of his ears.
But your pleading eyes and empty silence gave him the answer he needed. "Are you kidding me??" he snarled as he slammed the steering wheel.
Oh God no. A blinding pain ripped through your head when Jay's palms made contact with the hard plastic. You winched turning your head away from your furious brother, letting out a whimper.
Jay's eyes widened at the sound, his heart breaking, realizing the pain you were in.
If he was going to be mad at you or at least punish you, you needed to be sober.
He stepped on the pedal as the light turned green taking a few breaths, trying to calm himself down.
With the vice lords reclaiming their territory and selling uncut fentanyl, bodies were dropping all over the city most of them being kids.
Kids..... your age.
Every kid at the morgue, just reminded him of you. He saw parents sobbing, begging for their kids to come back but Jay new better. They were never going to come home. Ever.
So he made it a priority to catch these ruthless creatures. He made it a priority over his sleep, over nine hours shifts and unknown to him, over spending time with you.
"Hey , hey" he whispered, not wanting to hurt you again, "We'll talk about this later ok? for now...... just..... it's ok..... I've got you" here reached out his hand, the other still on the steering wheel, to slowly rub your back as you tried to breath through the pain.
" I got you"
***
Jay wrapped a hand around you allowing you to hold onto him for support.
Silently, he deposited you on the couch, laying you down. He knew that he wasn't in any state to talk to you. He needed to clear his mind from his racing thoughts and rueful images of dying teenagers.
His phone rang, indicating that the district was awaiting him. "Here" he reluctantly shook your shoulders "Y/n, I need to go ok? Will will be here soon"
***
Almost half an hour had passed and you were waiting for Will to get out of the shower. You'd heard Jay explain everything to him over the phone.
You thought about how disappointed he would be.
Will —being the nerd he was— always helped you with your projects and gave you pop quizzes during breakfast, before your exams. He taught you how to organize flashcards just like he did in med school.
Even through your blurry thoughts, the image of Will's betrayed face and embarrassed eyes, knowing you cheated, lingered on your mind.
Your body was all over the place. Tiny noises echoing through your ear. Your muscles simultaneously aching and loose.
You were shivering as you tried to curl up into a ball. Your body trying to hold what little heat it had within itself.
But nothing stopped your tears.
You felt water drops make their way down your cheeks forming small splotches of water on the cushion you laid your head on.
And you didn't bother to wipe them away.
Will more or less was in the same state you were in. There was a multi-vehicle accident on the highway and victims were piling in the ED. He was running from one treatment room to the other, waiting to get back home and crash.
Will walked over to you with a huge glass of water and an advil, gently  nudging you to sit up.
Your head still pounded, your eyes zoning in and out of the figure in front of you "Y/n, here drink the whole glass and take this" Will soothed, placing the glass and the pill in your hand "I—I'm sorry" You whispered, distracting yourself from Will's eyes.
Will knew he should be angry. Just like Jay was but he couldn't bring himself to blaming you, not until he had the full story anyway.
You looked so petite on the enormous couch, your legs folded on top of each other, arms shaking as you drowned the glass of water along with the Advil.
Your red puffy eyes and tear strained cheeks,were a contrast from your usual self. or he thinks. He's been pretty busy lately, so he's not too sure. " We'll talk about it later. I'm not angry. I promise"
He assured and was about to head to bed himself when you grabbed his wrist.
If he wasn't angry at you then maybe— just maybe—he would help you.
"Stay" You pleaded , the word falling from your lips just as easily as it had, many, many times before.
And just like before, you were met with Will's soft brown eyes filled with sympathy, ready to help. Ready—to be by your side.
He's slowly nodded climbing onto the couch, next to you. He wrapped an arm around you and you nestled into him, laying your head on his chest.
You found some comfort as he embraced you, talking you under his arm and encompassing you in his warmth.
Holding on to him, you hoped that he would take your pain away, just like he did when you were little.
***
Will woke up to an uncomfortable feeling of something —or someone—   tugging at his shirt.
He slowly opened his eyes allowing them to adjust to the light as he felt another a tug at his side. He looked over to you, but your eyes were shut, brimming with tears, your arm laid across his chest.
You were holding on to Will , using him as a lifeline, grounding you from the pain.
You felt a hand squeezing your own, stopping you from gripping the fabric "Y/n?" You opened your eyes to look up at will who had tears of his own, staring at the state you were in "it's okay, I'm here, I'm right here"
He encircles you, tighter than before, whispering soothing assurances into your hair.
***
With Will's help, the pain slowly subsides, allowing you access to your thoughts again.
You step out of the shower, into the living room and your eyes widen seeing Jay and Will sitting at the kitchen counter.
You didn't even hear Jay come in, but right now taking in his hardened glare, you didn't dare ask.
You knew what was coming and you didn't fight. You couldn't.
"So apparently we're cheating on our midterms now, huh?" Jay's calm voice made shivers run down your spine, starting to take rapid breaths.
"And apparently, someone thinks it's ok to steal alcohol from my stash" He gritted, never breaking I contact with you. "Do you think that's how the world works Y/n? DO YOU? BECAUSE LAST TIME I CHECKED YOU'RE STILL A FUCKING TEENAGER!!" He spat, his thoughts fuming towards your trembling body.
It was every dieing body flashing before his eyes, as the past months' agony slipped off his tongue.
"Jay" Will's voice was stern, giving a knowing look towards his younger brother and didn't bother to give Jay time to argue with him.
"Y/n, we need to know what's going on"
"With school, with tests with....... everything" he stated giving you a solemn look meaning every word he said, promising himself that he would do whatever it takes to figure out what had been going on.
You sucked in a breath weighing all your options. You didn't want them to think that you needed a babysitter or  that you couldn't take care of yourself.
You knew that they had their own problems to worry about but you couldn't take it anymore.
You hated it.
The feeling of your lungs collapsing, struggling to find air for your body, your stress skyrocketing anytime you sat down to study, never getting any thing done.
All day long you would constantly tell yourself to do your work. Every spare second is spent in making a list of things you want to do but when it was time to actually do those things, your mind wandered and emptied.
You took another deep breath, looking up from your feet, your eyes meeting your brothers.
You spilled the past months events from how alone you were all the time and not being able to concentrate to how you ended up drunk at school and cheating on your midterms.
Tears rolled down your cheeks as you your hands trembled. You stood crying in the middle of the room until you felt a pair of arms around you.
Will placed his hand at the nape of your neck as he stroked your back with the other "Breathe Y/n, just Breathe" He slowly pulled away leading you to the couch.
God, how he wished he could turn back time. Then he'd been more vigilant to notice the changes that had come over you.
You felt the couch dip on both sides but you intently studied your fingers, fumbling with the hem of your shirt and wiped the tears off your face. They were mad. No, they were furious. You knew it.
But for some reason, they weren't showing it. Maybe they were waiting-
"We're not mad"
You without your head around to look at Jay, furrowing your eyebrows in disbelief. Jay? Not mad? HA.
"but I am disappointed though, but that's only because you didn't tell us......
but stealing alcohol was bad too" he added, earning him a glare from Will.
"Y/n, what Jay means is— we could've helped with school . Homework . Tests . Anything, you name it. We will help" he assured, "But how do we know you need help, if you don't tell us?"
You sighed, taking in the weird turn of events that had happened before you. You had wasted all this time, trying to figure out all your problems out, when the answer was right in front of you.
A mountain of guilt now sat on Jay's shoulders, weighing down on him, pushing him deeper into a wormhole of 'if's'.
Maybe if he'd just been a little more careful, this wouldn't have happened.
Maybe if he'd stop and listen to you once in a while, this wouldn't have happened.
While trying to save kids out on the street, he forgot to care for the kid at home. You were his sister, and yet, here you are in front of him, barely keeping yourself together.
But that would change. Right here. *Right now.*
"Y/n," Jay started "If you would have told us how alone and stressed you were feeling.....I would've taken some time off... Maybe we'd watch a movie or something. All you had to do was ask...... And we'll get you the help you need, y/n. You good with that?" he questioned, his anger and frustration dissipating.
You saw your brother, the workaholic detective, wanting to put his job aside, for you .
You were more important to him, than his job—You realized.
" Yea... Yeah, I am"
Will stood up and got another advil with another glass of water. "and maybe you wouldn't end up drunk and cheating on your test" he smirked, crouching in front of you.
"God, I didn't think it would hurt this bad. I am never drinking again!" you smiled , as you drowned the pill.
"See now that's what I like to hear!!" Jay exclaimed, wrapping his arms around you, squeezing you into his chest. You squirmed, trying to get out of his grip, laughing, when you were joined by Will.
You know what? Maybe, things are going to be okay? Ya know?

day 1 let’s fuckin’ go. everyone listen to butterflies by samsa
Day 1: Pursuit
“You seriously don’t have any better games than this?” Scout complained, looking back down at the board, doubtful. “Not even, like, a deck of cards? To play poker or somethin’?”
“Rather not play two-person poker, and I don’t like gambling anyways,” was Sniper’s reply, not glancing up from shuffling the cards.
“I mean, maybe Go Fish then, or Old Maid, or—or somethin’, not fuckin’… Trivial Pursuit.”
Sniper seemed to mull that over for a moment. “If you don’t want to play,” he started to say, hesitant, and Scout sputtered to cut him off before he could finish that thought.
“I, I mean, I didn’t say that,” he managed, still half-glaring down at the board. “Just, y’know.”
Sniper probably didn’t know, actually. Truthfully, Scout wasn’t much for… book smarts type games. Games that needed quick reflexes, talking quickly, theatrics, those he was a champion at besides his eternally bad luck, but facts and numbers and geography? Those he tended to sort of… fuck up beyond recognition. And he really, really didn’t want to look like a complete idiot in front of Sniper.
Kind of the worst case scenario, actually. But the worse worst case scenario was driving the guy away before even getting to hang out with him, here, the first time he’d ever agreed to one of Scout’s dozens of proposed hangouts.
Hell, he’d honestly gotten used to Sniper always saying no. ‘Nah’ and ‘Not this time’ and ‘Afraid not, sorry mate’ were three phrases Scout had heard at least three and four times a week for months, now. He’d started brushing right through it, stopped letting it hurt his feelings even, although he couldn’t help but get his hopes up, still. Invitations to team drinking nights and poker parties and carpooling with the guys to the movies or a bar or a casino, or more overt invitations to listen to new albums or go out to get fast food or to fairs or to concerts, he’d long since gotten used to those standard, polite rejections.
So he was surprised, then, when he’d delivered his offhanded invitation—“Hey, Snipes, all the other guys bailed on the rec room game night tonight, you wanna be there anyways?”—he hadn’t expected Sniper to hesitate for a few seconds before shrugging and saying sure.
Hell, he was halfway through his ‘yeah no problem no worries man’ before he even realized Sniper said yes, then it was fumbling the whole rest of the way.
Better to be an idiot friend than a distant acquaintance, maybe. That’s what he told himself.
A brief mumbled rundown of the rules went in one ear and out the other as he got preoccupied with looking over one of the cards, mind boggled by what the hell the letters and colors were supposed to mean. A short summary was nodded at vaguely, and apparently his poker face had been terrible all along, because Sniper shrugged and said that they could just play first to six questions right and tally up wins from there. Then they rolled a dice and Sniper, apparently, would go first.
“Alright, uh,” Scout said, squinting down at the little card. “What does a… he-leo-logist, study?”
Sniper thought about it for a second. “Er… the sun,” he replied.
“Yep,” Scout nodded, nudged a piece towards him. Sniper took it. “So, uh, you go again?”
“Yeah. Er… geography, this time,” Sniper mumbled, shuffling some pieces around in a way that probably made sense to people who actually knew how this board game worked.
“Sure. What’s… the country that has South America’s highest and lowest points?”
Another pause. “Bloody… Argentina, isn’t it?” he asked.
“Damn. Okay, next one,” Scout said, less concerned about the fact that Sniper was doing well and more worried at the fact that he was gonna do awful.
“Geography again,” Sniper determined.
“What natural… breakwater, is off the north… eastern, part of Australia?” he read, a little stilted, squinting at the letters, like that would help, for once. Silence, for a pause, then for longer. Scout breathed an internal sigh of relief, smiling a little. “C’mon, it’s your own fuckin’, uh… country, continent, thing, isn’t it?”
“It’s both,” Sniper said, and paused. “It… it’s not talking about the bloody, er… Solomon Islands, is it?”
“Great Barrier Reef,” Scout replied.
Sniper muttered a swear. “Overthought it,” he sighed, nudging the dice over to Scout, who rolled it. Sniper glanced at the number, moved the pieces, looked at a card. “Right. What craft uses a… kiln, and a kick wheel?”
Scout could’ve cried. “That’s, uh, pottery, sculpting,” he said, relieved.
A nod from Sniper, a piece scooped onto his side of the table, the dice rolled a few seconds later when he realized he was supposed to do that. “How many colors are in the rainbow?” he asked next.
Scout had to count off on his fingers for a second. “Uh, seven,” he said, and fist-pumped when Sniper nodded, scooping up another piece. “Even though it’s, uh, kinda bullishit. There should be six.”
Sniper’s eyebrows ticking up in confusion probably was a sign he should drop it, but instead he found himself spouting off.
“Because, uh, like, y’know, there’s—there’s the kinds of colors, right?” he said, backpedaling at his response of furrowed eyebrows. “Like, the basic ones, the, uh, primary colors, that’s red and yellow and blue, y’know? And then the other three, that you get from mixing those, like, uh, red and yellow is, uh… is orange, and then like, green, and purple, you combine ‘em, right?”
Sniper nodded slowly after a moment.
“But then you got, uh, fuckin’… indigo. In the, uh, in the list of colors, fuckin’, Roy G. Biv? Red orange yellow, green, blue indigo violet? And I know it’s, like, blue and dark blue, but I think that still sucks. If we’ve got indigo we’ve gotta have like, the other in- between guys. Know what I mean?”
“Don’t have much of an opinion on it, but, sounds like you’re making points,” Sniper said, and Scout shrugged, glanced down at the table, tapped his fingertips against his knees out of sight to try and let out some nervous energy. “Bloody, er… your turn, or mine?”
“Uh, mine,” Scout said, scrambling to roll the dice.
“Right. Sorry. Er…” Sniper read over the card. “Patron saint of Scotland?”
Scout swore under his breath, deflating a little, coming up blank. “Uh… hey, Demo!” he called, and heard a vague ‘aye’ from the kitchen. “Who’s the patron saint of Scotland?”
“My mum,” Demo called back, and Sniper snickered, at least, which softened the blow to Scout’s confidence considerably.
“Ah, fuck off,” Scout called back, and looked back at Sniper, smiling. “Saint Scrumpy, fuck, I dunno.”
“Saint Andrew, apparently,” Sniper shrugged, rolling the dice. “Sports question. The orange one.”
Scout tried to read the question before starting to say anything out loud, and found himself completely lost anyways. “Who was the first… Ch—Check-uh-slavarian… to win, the… Wimbleton…”
“No idea,” Sniper said outright, shaking his head at himself. “Don’t follow, er… what, the Olympics?”
“Tennis, I guess,” Scout shrugged, rolling the dice.
“Sports for you too. What did… bloody hell. What did second baseman Bill… Wambsganss, do all by himself in the, er… 1920 World Series game?”
“Oh, shit,” Scout laughed, “guy did, like, a triple play, and then hit into a double later that same game. That was the year some guy got hit in the head with a ball and fuckin’ died.”
Sniper was staring at him, clearly shocked.
“What?” Scout asked, rolling the dice. “I know baseball. And it was a whole thing.”
Sniper seemed to shrug it off, shaking his head. “What’s the Taj Mahal made of?”
“Fuckin’, I dunno, chocolate? What, that some kinda dessert? What’s that?” Scout scoffed, trying to play it off.
“It’s… it’s a place. Looks a bit like a castle? Like, er, like the Eiffel Tower, or Big Ben, tourist sort of thing?” Sniper tried, and Scout shrugged, and he shrugged back, rolling the dice. “Fair enough. One of the, er, Science ones. Green one.”
Scout looked at the card for a few seconds. “I… dunno how to say this word. Glue… glay… what’s that?”
Sniper leaned over, and Scout turned it towards him. “Glaucoma. Hits your eyes,” he said, and Scout nodded, and he took a piece, rolled again. “Brown one.”
“What are… catalogued, under the Dewey decimal system?” Scout asked, eyebrows furrowing.
“Books, library books,” Sniper mumbled.
“Jesus, are you—where’s the mirrors, seriously? How are you doing that?” Scout asked, and Sniper huffed something like a laugh, taking the piece, rolling again. “No, no, seriously. How the hell do you know half of these?”
“Geography, blue,” he prompted.
“Alright, I swear to god.” Scout held the card close as he read it, first to himself, then out loud. “What national capital is heated by underground hot springs?”
Sniper, to his credit, paused for a moment before answering. “Iceland’s. Reykjavik, it’s called.”
“I swear to god.” Scout flipped over the card, read the answer. “Oh, what the fuck!”
“I’ve bloody been there!” Sniper defended.
“Nah, fuck off, hold on—“ Scout picked up another card, reading another question. “Where in a tree does photosynthesis happen?”
“Leaves.”
“How do you know that so fast!” Scout demanded.
“That’s just science class in school!”
“Fuckin’—who, fuckin’, rode on the raft with Huck Finn?” Scout asked next.
“The, er… runaway, Jim.”
“Oh, what!” Scout all but shouted.
“Scout, I read.”
“Nah, nah, you’re way too good at this game, either you’re like, cheating, or you on purpose picked this game because you’re, like, weirdly crazy good at it or something!”
Sniper’s expression went from amusement to that blankness again, and it only made Scout even more infuriated.
“I mean, seriously, did you pick this game on purpose because you just know all the cards? Did you just wanna do the game where you’d for sure win?” he demanded.
Sniper was fidgeting with his glasses, now, and to be honest, Scout wasn’t even particularly mad, just confused.
“I mean, shit, you’d think you just wanted too play this one so you could look smart and cool and shit like that,” he said. and saw the way Sniper shrank a little, and the lightbulb went off way too late.
A pause.
“Dude,” Scout said, fighting down a laugh.
Sniper mumbled something he didn’t quite hear, sinking in his chair.
“Alright, seriously, if you wanna look smarter than me, you really don’t gotta pull out the trivia questions. Pretty much any game works, you know that, right? I’ll make an idiot of myself playing, like… Uno,” Scout said. Sniper shrugged, still not looking him in the eye. “Okay. Here’s an idea. How about we play, uh… I dunno, Crazy Eights. And while we play I’m gonna keep grilling you on this random trivia shit because seriously, that’s totally nuts, man.”
Sniper hesitated for a few seconds before he finally nodded and straightened up, and in a way, they both won. Scout because he now at least knew he wasn’t the only one who was a total mess and way too worried about what other people thought, and Sniper because he could keep being impressive about random trivia knowledge. Apparently, he knew a bunch about geography and books and nature, and not a single thing about sports.
Scout accused him of trying to memorize the cards. Sniper laughed, properly, for the first time all night.

STAYING ALIVE MASTERPOST, FROM A BROKE TEEN WITH ADHD
here you go. some down to earth tips on how to not die metally nor physically.
tired of those "drink three liters of water everyday uwu" and "wake up at 5 am" and "buy a bath bomb and a fec mask and some other things you don't have the money for" shit? i'm here for ya.
1. NOT DYING
eat at least three meals a day, one of which m u s t be warm and above 300 kcal (it can be istant ramen with an egg added if you have to)
you technically should shower everyday, but we know how it is. A change of clothes is sometimes enough.
DRY SHAMPOO AND BABY WIPES!!!
keep bottles with water everywhere. On your desk, near that spot on the floor you always end up sitting on, near your bed, basically whenever you know you spend a lot of time. No need to get up and go to the kitchen will help. Obviously change the water in the bottles as often as you can.
Get some form of physical activity. It doesn't have to be much, you can for example replace scrolling on tiktok by walking around your room and scrolling on tiktok! Brilliant, isn't it? Obviously, running or doing those 10 minutes workouts from youtube is better, but you are still getting like an hour of walking.
Buy blankets. Steal blankets. Summon blankets from other dimensions. Just make sure you have a lot of warm, soft blankets in your house. You will thank me when you won't have the anergy to wash your sheets (just take them off and throw some blankets on your bed), or when the power goes out.
If you have pets, ALWAYS keep spare food that'll last for a week for them.
things to always have in the kitchen: milk, eggs, flour, rice, pasta, yeast, cheese, oil, a leafy vegetable, onions, tomatoes, apples, patatoes, some flavourful sauce, sugar, salt, spices and an emergency chocolate bar. You can make a lot of food with those. Just make sure you won't eat the chocolate too fast.
Have a lot of spare batteries. A lot.
Get urself a flashlight, a lighter, and a pocket knife.
Remember the apples? eat one a day. if you don't like apples or you can't eat them for any other reason, you can take a kiwi, banana, orange, basically something that will give you vitamins and non processed sugar.
do the dishes before your sink starts developing it's own ecosystem
drugs from that one guy around the corner = very bad time
2. NOT DYING INSIDE
Open the damn window.
Don't watch so many commentary videos. You are probably not even checking the sources, so you can easily make unjust judgement, and like. did you even hear of half of those people before?
make a discord server just for yourself. get into the habit of writing little things that happened to you there. rant about the fanfics you read. or the movies. vent there if you don't have anyone you can vent to. write your ideas there, write e v e r y t h i n g. make a section for passwords, for quick ideas, for your to do lists. you won't lose it as you do with sticky notes or notebooks. there is no risk anyone will see it. oh, and when you'll have a strong impulse to tell emily that you hate her? write that message in your private server and list all ur arguments. look at tat the next day and decide if you really mean that.
life sucks. come to peace with it.
cuddle ur pets if you have them
1 hour a day without a lot of sensory input. if you have to, reduce to half an hour.
if you find yourself scrolling endlessly through social media, make sure it's pintrest (just don't compare urself to the people here; if you have issues with that, tumblr may be better)
delete. twitter. from. your. phone.
influencers are lying to you; maybe not even intentionally. remember when you were watching that cute-aesthetic-productive morning routine, and you were wondering why your life isn't that pretty? why your room is a mess? why you cannot for the life of god be aesthetic 24/7? its the filter. don't worry about it, their lifes arent that nice either.
realize there's actually nothing stopping you from screaming as loud as you can right now. like there is no physical barrier. think about it. realize there's no actual physical barierr to many other things.
your body is your body. you can decide how it looks like; just remember it's in your greatest interest to keep it healthy.
3. BEING A LITTLE BETTER THAN JUST ALIVE
If you wear make up, take it off before you go to sleep.
moisturize your body; everything is better when your skin doesn't feel dry
have a one brand of cosmetics that you love and buy things mainly from it. they often have sets of products that complete each other. i like ziaja. it's a polish brand, it's surprisingly cheap and has nice quality
cleanser, moisturizer, face mist
of you can, change your sheets once every two weeks
do the dishes before your sink starts developing it's own ecosystem
do a deep house clean once a month (don't beat yourself up when you don't tho)
keep your workspace organized (it doesn't have to look organized to other people, remember)
sunscreen
cook your own food
keep a calendar
no money for scented candles? got ya. make a simmer pot: throw some apple peel, a couple of cinnamon sticks and whatever spices that smell good you have into a pot, add some water and simmer. boom. your house smells good, and you haven't spend 20 dollars.
If you really like candles, buy scented wax melts. it's cheaper.
Buy urself scented mists. they're pretty cheap and will make you feel A LOT better.
keep your clothes clean. if you aren't sure if that shirt thats on your chair is dirty or not, throw it in the washing mashine anyway. better be sure.
if you can, make your bed right when you get up
wear clothes that make you feel good. put some effort into your outfits. really.
4. OTHER PEOPLE
be nice to essential workers.
if you have money, give tips.
remember, you do not owe anyone love; it is not something you can force. even if they saved your life. even when they helped you in your darkest time. if you don't love them, you don't.
you don't have to be in a romantic relationship to be happy.
if you want to, date! date everyone! date girls, date boys, date nonbinary people! date people completly different than you, date people from different countries, date them!!! just make sure they're kind and won't kill you. even if you don't end up in a relationship, you can learn a lot.
don't be afraid to piss off people that deserve it
smile to strangers :)
5. NOT FAILING SCHOOL
heard of dark academia? check it out
romanticize the heck out of studying
do not let your studying be just reading the same partagraph over and over again. it won't work. believe me.
seterra for geography, quizlet for everything else
try to make yourself intrestet in whatever you are studying (watch veritasium, listen to podcasts about weird history facts)
notes are for you and you only; don't worry about them looking pretty. doodle on margins, make weird metaphors, squeeze in as much info as you can.
when you're studying, listen to music without words/in a language you don't understand.
chew gum while you study
get the forest app, get attached to the trees, focus.
don't feel guilty for taking breaks
grades aren't everything, but they are important.
eat something in school
don't just use the cheapest pens. invest a couple dollars in something that will make writing enjoyable and smooth
those study with me videos? they're great
if you like to argue with the teachers, take care of your grades becouse. they may not like you afterwards.
be nice to your classmates and help them with homework. if you don't do your homework they'll help you
executive dysfunction won't let you study? been there. sometimes it's better to wake up ealier tommorow and do that homework then.
don't feel guilty for failing a test
go to the goddamn class
don't pull all nighters oh my god don't especially on weekdays
6. OTHER LIFEHACKS
don't get involved in the crime, and if you do always have a believable explanation why you were doing it
have different alarm sounds for every day of the week
set a daily limit of money that you spend
great hobbies that don't require a lot of money; urban exploration, writing, hiking and learning other languages
thrift stores
don't eat grapefruits while on meds
nail polish removers dissolve most strong glues.
if you have a cut on your skin, desinfect it. do it. please just do it.
always have pads with you. even if you don't get periods, at least one of your friends probably does
sign up in your local library. its free

let's go over this one more time. time? we ran out of it a while ago. inspector if you cant find the murderer, i suggest wrapping this up. (yeah) my guests and i grow tired of your department's incompetence. shut your monopoly ass up. this is a homicide and we're not mall cops, alright? (the hell?) and right now you're acting like one suspicious milk mustache bitch. who's this asshole? your worst FUCKIN nightmare. you'll have to excuse jimmy here he's a rookie detective from AAU. second team, all state. the killer broke in the room by jumping from the balcony of a neighboring window. self explanatory from there. (oh god no!) c'mon that'sa 20 foot gap. no one could make that! if you 50/50 and boneless off the rail, you can.

Here’s part 1 and the soulmates comic that inspired all this.
I’d also like to thank the Harringrove community for giving me mutuals who enable the worst best part of me 💞 You’re all fantastic 💗
• • • • • • •
Steve’s teeth clenched as his shoulder blades hit the brick walls of the alley between the gymnasium and school building.
Their English class was only two doors down from an exit, and Billy Hargrove, of all people, gripped Steve’s jacket the moment he passed out of the classroom door, and hauled his ass outside.
Now Steve had a face full of California freckles that made the accompanying blue eyes look like tropical waters. Billy had been a menace ever since he got to this town, and all of Hawkins’ fields didn’t leave enough room for the both of them, apparently. Shoving Steve around during gym. Parking next to him like the noise of his frigging Camaro would eclipse the humble BMW’s existence.
Billy released him but stayed crowded in his space as he ordered, “Get a pen.”
“What?”
“A pen, Harrington. I know you have one.”
Yeah, I just failed a test with it, he thought bitterly, but he’d also been using it to talk to Billy Freaking Hargrove all morning. He pulled it out of his binder and bit the cap to push the end into it -
“OW. Don’t - ” Steve shoved him back a step, interrupting the zagged line Billy was scoring into his hand. Into Steve’s hand. “ - press that hard. Jesus Christ.”
He waved said hand in front of Billy’s face. “It’s real, all right? It’s me. It’s me! What? Did you expect to be taller than me or some - ”
Steve’s head knocked the brick this time when Billy shoved him back, fisting his shirt to the point of stretching the fibers
And kissing Steve’s mouth like he had the water in a desert.
Everything Billy did was aggressive, so he supposed this shouldn’t be much of a surprise, but 
But the stubble scraping against Steve’s chin sent sparks launching down his spine. Soft lips with a little edge of teeth, and Billy’s warmth radiating through their shirts into Steve’s chest...
He tried to lean forward, to adjust the kiss, to give his neck some space, but Billy caged him in. Steve’s nose pressed into his cheek and his hands found Billy’s denim jacket to get his own grip and shoved Billy back by his own kiss.
But the guy who doodled on his body, an artist who couldn’t eat cake and liked authors who waxed romantically - Steve’s special person - was a slab of muscle dressed in denim and leather. He held onto Steve’s front while his other hand framed his jaw and man-handled him back into place.
“Billy,” Steve tried. He stopped just shy of Steve’s mouth, like he intended to claim Steve’s oxygen as well as his space. “Gimme some space. There are bricks back here.”
Steve registers Billy’s pretty, long, long and pretty lashes moving before he sees the expression behind them. The look Billy has. Like he’s deciding between one type of aggression and another.
“You’ve been in my skin for years. You can handle some bricks.”
He starts kissing Steve again, and for all the good he’s giving, he gets spittle and laughter in return. When he finally retreats back to those millimeters of space, Steve giggles, “You’re so conceited, I swear to god.”
“I’m the same person I’ve always been.”
“I thought you were so sweet. Always drawing me things.”
“I have my moods.”
“Yeah, no kidding,” Steve laughed breathily and pivoted his face before Billy could kiss him again. He wedged his jaw beside Billy’s neck and held onto the back of his jacket as he made the guy carry his weight.
“What are you doing?”
“Hugging you.”
“I always knew you were a sap.”
Steve smiled a little even if Billy did not see it. He leaned his head into Billy’s, feeling the soft pillow of his hair, the curve of his ear. “I didn’t think I’d ever meet you. I’m glad I did.”
Like Billy’s marking on his skin, Steve listened to his silence but felt his fingertips drawing on his backside.
And if Steve expected Billy to relax or be nicer to him
He was dead wrong.
Billy got worse.
Steve had been told more than once that he was needy, touchy-feely, thrived on attention, but Billy was something else. Steve woke up with a full rose drawn on his forehead. He was almost late to school from washing it off. Then Billy stole his lunch. Outright took Steve’s tray off the table and went who-knows-where; Steve had to get back to world geography class or he’d fail the class for too many skips.
Then came gym. Word had clearly spread that Steve and Billy were spoken for, and Steve had never witnessed teenage boys shower faster in his life. Steve glanced around, just now moving his soap bar over his arm while Billy smirked fondly at him from under his own nozzle. "For no reason, have you ever done anything sexy in public?"
"Ate a girl out during a homecoming game."
That knocked Billy's features down a notch, and Steve laughed, "I'm not blowing you in these disgusting bathrooms."
Billy scoffed and twisted his water off. "I guess it should've landed that you were a prude when you had to be somewhere without markings on your body."
Steve flicked his eyes at the ceiling, because Billy was hot - a fact he already knew, but now he had hours of experience writing all over that rippling skin. And Billy’s hair curled really pretty when it was wet.
Steve liked to practice decency, okay.
He did let his gaze drift and fall to land on him, though, when he replied, “I have standards. High ones. Maybe stop complaining and consider yourself fortunate.”
Billy lingered for a while longer, just absorbing that before strolling out of the communal shower.
Billy definitely got worse.
Grinding pens into his hand until Steve threw himself out of bed in the middle of the night to turn his light on and read: Come outside. Pool. 
And yeah, Steve marched his ass downstairs in his slippers and robe because it was his own damn house and he liked soft things. And because he genuinely didn’t know if Billy would or would not throw a rock at his window if he didn’t get dressed fast enough.
Billy had already found the control panel and turned the pool lights on. He took lethargic steps around the water as Steve slid the glass door closed and crossed his arms. “You know, I’m all for staying up late, but not for my sleep being interrupted.”
Billy ignored that to kneel down and wave a hand through the water. “Didn’t know you had a pool.”
Steve shrugged. “I’ve got a bed too. You wanna use it?”
Billy laughed and stood back up - to start removing his clothes. “I want to go swimming first.”
Steve exhaled tiredly and let his face fall into his hands. “Billy, why am I out here?”
He got his answer in the form of Billy gripping the sash around his waist. He didn’t undo it, but pulled so Steve’s hips lurched forward. “What’s under this?”
“My tired ass that wants to sleep so I can keep up with the new kid in Hawkins.”
Billy chuckled and slipped his hand inside the folds. Steve bowed a little against the cooler hand wandering his bare skin. Cradling his naked waist. “What’s he like?”
“The wrong kind of pain in my ass.”
He’d caught Billy off guard with that one. Billy coughed a laugh and his chuckles dwindled as he let his perusal of Steve’s body loosen the robe. Then he pulled Steve to him so his mouth could press slow kisses over the slope of his shoulder. Steve’s head fell back when those lips found the tiny moles on his throat.
Steve’s arms encompassed him and he felt the familiar, soft press of Billy’s ear against his cheek. “I’m tired.”
“I want to swim.”
“You’re already naked. Go ahead.”
“You can’t think you’re going back inside without getting wet.”
“And you’re not getting in bed with me before rinsing in the shower. We’re both high maintenance.”
Steve swam in the pool.
Billy wore his robe and slippers into the house.
They showered together and, to Steve’s delight, Billy snuggled in close without putting his damp hair on Steve’s chest. The latter fell asleep with a large arm over his diaphragm and ocean breaths in his ear.
Steve woke up to the wet sensation of Billy drawing on his chest with his markers. Instead of opening his eyes, Steve mumbled, “If you’re drawing more penises...”
Billy hummed with mirth. “Just some unicorns humping each other.”
Steve earned a yelp when he reared up and tackled Billy to the bed. He kissed him silly and tasted his soul mate’s skin in his own bed. He made Billy’s hair a fluffy nightmare by the time he was through, and licked and sucked all of his muscles into jelly before he went to the bathroom to relieve himself...
Two birds under his collarbones framed a script spanning over his chest.
I can’t say sweet things. But you are beautiful.

OOO always fun to find another non native english speaker in the wild!
well i am indeed from the western side of the world- but not from europe! >:D so i guess that leaves the americas
oh and poor whumpee can't even try to make food for themselves because theyre just a dumb pet who's not allowed to cook, and if they did... who knows what kind of punishment they would get! maybe theyd get their hands broken... or worse :) but whumper one doesn't like broken toys, and whumper two is itching to get rid of their roommate's damn annoying pet. so our little whumpee just has to suck it up and behave and hope master didn't completely forget they exist :)))
- 🧽
NOOOO NON ENGLISH SPEAKING AMERICAS? IM NOT GOOD AT SOUTH AMERICAN GEOGRAPHY- and im even worse at the mid-american countries--- im gonna guess mexico purely bc im shit at geography and i dont wanna embarrass myself. though....... no wait nvm. i wanted to say u might be my fan from brazil but i think i know who that is so nvm JSKSKSKSKSKKS (i had a tracker for a v brief period of time and someone from brazil kept checking my blog)
yes yes yes whumpee cant just feed themself they dont even know how to cook!!!! would u expect ur dog to feed themself? of course not! and omg WHUMPER TWO ITCHING TO GET RID OF THEM!!!!! SO SO SO WHUMPY. maybe they lock the poor pet up somewhere and forget AND WHUMPER ONE DOESNT EVEN NOTICE. so whumpee is just trying to stay quiet, as whumper two instructed them when they locked them up, hoping that the sound of whumper one coming home finally means they'll be let out. but that hope dissipates when they realize whumper one doesnt notice their absence :(

Ushijima General HCs
we all know i love this man. and please bare with me while i slowly get back into writing again, i’ve been gone for so long but i wanna get back to it.
He 100% did not ask you out, like ever. You where his best friend and you guys went to a restaurant around valentine’s day and EVERY SINGLE STORE VENDOR MISTAKES YOU GUYS AS A COUPLE. He’s kinda just looking at you while you eat and he’s like “Do we really look like a couple?” He low key hurts your feelings because he legit says- “I don’t see it... I don’t- I don’t think i’d date you?” USHIJIMA HAS THE BIGGEST REALIZATION IN HIS SMALL BRAIN.... he’s like wait. holy shit. isn’t it valentine’s day today? he’s getting all blushy and shy now and he’s just digging at his food and you’re so confused. “Toshi? You, okay-” He gets overly nerveous and blurts out “I- I’m in love with you.” BUT HES QUICKLY WALKING OUT OF THE RESTAURANT BC HES LIKE- did i just do that? You’re just sitting with a blank expression at your table and EVERYONE is looking at you, wondering why you’re sitting there and not running into his arms. You let out a small laugh in disbelief and ask yourself- when did ushijima become so expressive with his emotions. You run outside and you aren’t able to completely catch up to him bc you need to catch your breath, so you being to yell- “Hey! Ushijima! Wakatoshi! Stop right now you big fucking idiot!” He stops in his tracks really awkwardly and turns to look at you like he wants to apologize “I love you! I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU WAKATOSHI!” You begin to run to him bc big ol boy is frozen in place. You jump into his arms and dig your head into the crook of his neck, “I love you too.” you whisper again before he hold on to you tightly.
BIG BOY NEED ATTENTION but he’ll never admit it.... like ever. he’d rather act petty and jealous then say the words “Give me attention.” He’s a grown man now, he can’t just blurt out those words. Yeah- that goes out the window when he’s drunk. You’re mid conversation with Kageyama and Iwaizumi during a Japan team dinner hosted at your place, and he legit hugs you from the back and leans all the way down so his chin is on your head. He’s furiously glaring at the two- Kageyama is terrified and Iwa is a little in shock. “Look at me...” He mutters in your ear. “Toshi-” “Please...” He whines just a little and your heart just MELTS INTO HIS HANDS.
Please make him the healthiest food after his hangover- he will feel so guilty for the sudden indulgence of alcohol. He hates treated his boys badly (he low key thinks your with him for his body bc he doesn’t believe his personality is enough) Please given the sweetest kiss when you wake up and tell him he’s perfect.
Please arrive 20 minutes early to his game and please don’t leave unless necessary. Little do you know he’s always looking for you in the crowd.
DO NOT LET HIM TOUCH THE DAMN STOVE. Man is perfect in every single way possible but geography and cooking are not his forte.
He snores when he’s extra tired, so almost every night. He’s invested in a good pair of earplugs for you.
If your ever sitting on his lap, and he’s layin on the floor/bed and his shirt rises up a little- please sneak your hands under his shirt and trail your nails against his skin. (every time you do it tho, expect you feel his cock twitch under your lap) he loves the feeling even if he’s not in the mood. he loves the tingly feeling.
PLEASE THIS MAN WILL GET SO JEALOUS whenever you see Osamu. You originally where a big fan of Inarizaki so just casually talking to Osamu while he makes your onigiri was making you fangirl inside. He usually doesn’t dare to go into the establishment but he sees the bag ready in your hand, so he sucks up his pride and walks inside. Really quick glaring contest with Osamu before you notice and hea leaned to your ear, covering Osamu few and just whispered the most naughtiest things before nibbling on your ear and blowing on it. “Nice seeing you Miya.” Ushijima smirks, while your hand is gripping at the hem of his shirt, thighs tightly pressed together before you nerveously wave goodbye to him.
Takes his sweet time to learn how to make the best onigiri in the world so he doesn’t have to take you to that damn restaurant anymore
Also plz help him... doesn’t know the difference between Himalayan salt, sea salt, and just regular salt... definitely licks a little of each to see the difference- has no clue what’s going on.
sleeps on the couch if you come home late. doesn’t like feeling cold in your bed bc he just knows your not there. so when he sleeps on the couch he relies of his own warmth
honestly i think people believe he’s a hard liquor guy- but please just get him a mimosa or something... maybe a white wine. he’s just an old lady at heart.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let out your real laugh with him- ugly and all- HE THINKS ITS SO SEXY WHEN YOU LAUGH AND YOURE JUAT SNORTING BECAUSE HE DID THAT- he made you laugh, and he’ll never forget the days he makes you laugh.
plz do his nightly ritual w him. he feels a little dumb when you don’t do it with him now.
hold his hand while you fall asleep. it’s fine if you let go later on, but when you wake up please wake him up with kisses.
