Imagine Sam Winchester - missed opportunities

Request: “ Sam and reader having the holidays alone in the bunker, basically anything a holidays fun day would include but my only specifics for this vague request would be some type of snow activity and maybe some mistletoe, it doesn’t snow where i’m from and snow stuff is always really fun!!

Super sorry if it’s too vague, i feel bad asking for anything too specific and kinda embarrassed even tho it’s anonymous, hope you have a happy holidays :)”

A/N: Please don’t ever feel bad or embarrassed about your requests. Writers like myself are estatic whenever we get one. Also I know it ain’t christmas anymore but here is the story anyways, because why not. It isn’t as holiday-ish as intended but still: Enjoy!

Words: 1,619

Memories in italics

POV Reader:

“Almost two goddam months.I really need to get over this! Seriously y/n, there are more importat things than....” you halted your thoughts hating that you couldn’t get over it.

Looking up you felt an immediate wave of regret. Over there sat Sam, looking on one of this oh-so-boring lore books, being calm as ever, as if christmas eve hadn’t happend. You on the other hand couldn’t even sit quietly next to the younger Winchester without having your mind becoming a mess.

It was the evening of christmas eve. Dean who wanted you to “get your shit together, finally stop to eye-fuck his brother and rather do the real thing” left the two of you to “get some beer”. Unfortunately he got stuck on the road because of some “car problems”, which left you and Sam alone in the bunker to celabrate christmas.

Trying not to remember that Dean told you very specifically to ask his brother out you try to keep your hands steady while you stand next to Sam to prepare your dinner. Looking at him out of the conner of your eye, you saw that he was as collected as always.

“Why would he be nervous anyways”, you asked yourself: “it isn’t as if the two of you had never been alone together”

But you were fidgety anyways, knowing what Dean wanted you to do. “He dosen’t like me that way. Why does Dean what me to embarrass me like that to him?!”, you thought.

“y/n? Is everything alright?”

“Yeah, sure just thinking ‘bout stuff, y’know?”

“Oh-okay. Ahm.. I’m done with cutting the vegetables . You?”

You tested the nuddles and said: “Yeah there done.”

You already feared the strange atmosphere, that you expected at the dinner table, but to your surprise everything went perfect. As it was normal for the two of you you had one great conversation topic after the next, half of them making you laught the other half being some deep shit.

After you finished dinner, you cleaned up and decided you wanted to have a glass of whiskey in the liberay.

Sam went there first and you moved back to your room to check on your phone quickliy before you wanted to join him.

Going into your room you screened it, for where you phone is. You found it on your nightstand. While walking back to the liberary where suspected Sam was already waiting for you, you turned it on.

There where endlessly many notifications for misssed calls from Dean. As you just wanted to click on the button to hear what he had to say, eventhought you weren’t sure if you wanted to hear him asking how far you and Sam made it with the talking-about-your-feelings, you saw Sam standing in the door to the liberary looking up.

“Ahm... you alright there Sammy?”, you asked gigerly, competly forgetting about Deans calls.

You just wanted to go passed him, as he grabed your arm softly.

“Well.. Y-you know I... actually ahm”, he paused.

Now extremely curious of what had the fearless and calm hunter Sam fucking Winchester so out of his head you looked up too. Above your heads there was a miseltoe with a small note in Deans Handwriting “Since I know you two I herby give you a push.”

“He’s having a strange humor again, eh?”, you tried to laught it off knowing that you would possibly catch fire if his lips were to touch yous.

“Ha! Yeah, but y’know, he will know if we don’t ... so that”, hawking he took a deep breath and then looked you directly in the eyes.

Suddenly he softly grabbed the back of your head. Everything started to be tingeling and your breathing became eratic as his other arm found his way around your waist to pull you more into him.

Trying to steady youself you put both of your hand on his firm chest, feeling his strong muscles underneath his ugly christmas sweater.

His eyes were still focused on yous as he took a deep breath. You had to swallow hard as he bend down a bit to be on your hight.

All your thoughts were gone and your heart was fluttering so much it almost hurt as you were anticipating his next move.

He broke the tensed silence between the two of you with a whisped: “Is this ok?”

Swallowing hard yet again you answered in a raspy voice: “Y-Yeah”

Slowly, giving you any chance to escape, his face came closer to yours. You reacted by parting you lips slghtly. Then you felt his shallow breath on your face as you both closed you eyes gradually. When you could finally, almost feel his clapped lips on your soft ones ....

BOOM!

Thinking back to the day of christmas eve you sighned heavily. Dean had interrupted you right befor you both could finally have what you had craved for for years. To be fair, there was a problem with witches that couldn’t wait, since they were attacing Lebanon trying to catch children who were feeling “true happiness” to sacifice them to some god of theirs.

Needless to say that you fought them hard, but still some of them escaped far away. It took you until yesterday to kill them all, before Dean decided he would drive throught at night, if that meant he cold spend the next night on his memory foam. Currently he wanted to get some groceries since all you had was to old by now.

Thinking of the devil, Dean came throught the bunker door with two big bags full of things.

“Whoa, Dean! Are we gonna host some party or why did you buy the whole store?”, Sam asked, snickering at the sight of his brother struggeling those two big, heavy-looking bags.

“Ha-ha, Bitch. So funny. There was a sale at the shop from which we get our weapons and ammunition. So I bought it!”, Dean exclaimed.

“Bought “It”?“, you asked curious but still amused.

“Ahm, everything he had. He-he”, Dean ducked his head as if he just now noticed that what he bought might really be a bit too much. Knowing Dean you asumed he really just had that realisation.

As Sam gave his brother the famous bitch-face Dean replied: “You know what: I did the shopping, you do the carrying stuff part. Theres lots still in the trunk.”

Huffing Sam and you realised that descussing this would take longer than to just carry all in.

As you were gettting up Sam reacted by saying “O-oh no. You don’t need to help. I got this. It’s very cold outside.”

“We are quicker if we work together. I’m just gonna put a jacket on.”

As you took a step outside of the bunkers main entrance there stood the impala. It’s shiny black hood looking impressive on the white background.

“Did you knew it had snowed?”

No. But it’s great isn’t it?”

“Yeah!”

After that short exchange you both started to carry in one heavy bag full of ammunition and weapons after the next.

As you just walked outside to check if there was another bag left, you felt something hitting your back.

Turning around quickly you saw Sam standing there and failing to look innocent.

“You shouldn’t have started a fight you can’t win, Winchester!”

“Oh really? What do you what to do about it?”

Reacting to his sassy words you quickly grabbed a hand full of fresh white snow and threw it in his face.

“How about that.”

“Oh you are in for it y/n.”

With that a heavy snow fight brock out between the two of you. You would always dodge his snow, something he couldn’t.

Just as you wanted to throw another snowball at him, you looked around but couldn’t see him. Right when you wanted to yell at him, that you would go back inside to drink something warm, secretly hoping he would come out of his hideout, so you could throw another load of snow at him, you got tackled from behind.

Hunter instincts kicking in you throw that (fairly heavy) person off of you, turn around and press them into the ground with your full weight on your arm holding them down at their troat.

“Look who’s there.” you hear Sams voice close to your ear.

“Shit! Sorry Sammy! I didn’t... Sorry”

As you tried to get off of him you first took your arm away from his neck.

“It’s okay. I’m gonna make the best outta it.”

With that he turned you around yet again, so he was laying on top of you. However he was, other than you, very carful to not put his whole weight on you as he reached for something in his pocket.

“When we were coming home earlier, I spotted something that had me reminded of how much I wanted - no still want ... something.”, he stuttered.

As you just wanted to ask whats the matter, he showed you the miseltoe under which the two of you had almost kissed months ago.

“Ever since this evening I was barly able to hunt down those witches. I tried everything y/n, and still... all I could think of was how good you smelled, and how soft you lips looked, how perfect your body felt under my hands, how much I wanted to... “

You stopped him by pressing you lips to his in a loving kiss, just as you had dreamed of so often since you fell for him. And just like you imagined it was perfect. Both of you could only concentrade on this very moment as you both fullfilled you deepest wish of being together that way.

Breathing heavily you answered: “ Yeah, me too.”

The Loud House Reviews: The Boss Maybe/ Family Bonding

Loud House weekly coverage continues as Leni is pushed into the deep end of responsiblity and taking over Lori’s old role of babysitter while her parents are gone and promptly drowns in a sea of comedy clubs, human body parts both on screen and in the fridge, old men in holes and indoor beach volley ball.

First things first: Last week I forgot to mention Rusty’s mustache freezing off as god, wether it be the judeo-christian god, Odin, that prick Zeus, the flying spagehtti monster or one of many other gods out there. Perhaps all of them did it at once out of hatred for the little weiner. Maybe one of them finally answered my prayers which in that case, that was nice and all but there are far worse things going on i’d prefer you took care of. Also the “stuff I couldn’t fathom” turned out to be just more loudcest, because of course it did. Loudcest is like David Spade, you think it’s finally gone or isn’t doing as much but then it comes around and makes the wrong missy and you waste 90 minutes of your life thinking i’td be so bad it’s good when it’s really just boring and a waste of it’s main actress talent. I lost track of that metaphor, but Loudcest is like david spade in that people like it for reasons I can’t fathom and it hasn’t quietly faded into the background for reasons I can’t fathom, though at least david spade was funny once. So maybe Loudcest isn’t like david spade. or maybe i’ve been taking too long with this bit.

But whlie last week was a bit wonky it also had a lot to setup.. but now it’s time to see what the show does with all the setup over, and a lot of new possiblities ahead. PItter Patter!

The Boss Maybe Ah now this is exactly what I was hoping for this season. New situations brought about by the year-up and all the changes it brought, with the same old heart and humor and character progression that drew me back into the show. This is the kind of episode i love and have talked about in the past and dosen’t fall into any of the shows usual pitfalls in the process. Just great. I could end it there but I haven’t shut up before why do it now. So this episode focuses on Leni who I talked about a bit last week and easily had the best plot and in general tends to have good episodes, both before and after the show became an ensemble piece, and even in episodes without her tends to slide in just fine. She’s always a nice breath of fresh air when she shows up.

I think that’s due to a number of things. For one it’s how sweet a person she is: She’s genuinely nice, kind and well meaning. While she is dumb as a box of rocks that resemble Pauly Shore, what I like is her stupidity isn’t malicious, or overused for misery. She causes comical injuries from time to time with it but she’s quick to apologize iff she realises it and usualyly has no ill will to anybody unless provoked or fighting Lori over a dress despite them wearing the same clothes all the time. I know standard animation thing but it’s always weird to me when shows with a stock outfit for a character have a fashionista, and prefer when shows have stylish characters actually change outfits like Kim Possible did with it’s title character, Xiaolin Showdown did with Kimiko and of all things LIttlest Petshop did with Blythe. Granted Blythe is a nothing of a character but still, credit where it’s due. But I do get this is also a nick show and they givet hem the budget of 50 cents and a network memo that says “BEG US FOR MORE MONEY” written in blood, so fair enough.

That aside she’s just plesant to watch. The other factor is Liliana Mumy. If you haven’t heard of her , she’s a vetran voice actress whose been doing this on and off since she was a kid, voicing Panini on chowder as a child and later going on to voice Beth in bravest warriors among other roles. Why she only does work so ocasionaly I have no idea but when she does she’s great. She’s also the son of fellow child actor BIll Mumy, aka the guy who as a kid played Anthony Fremont from the Twilight Zone classic “It’s A Good Life”, which if you haven’t seen it is about a small child who has the power of a god and thus can banish people who are “bad”, i.e. disobey him and thus rules over a small town as a creepy and cruel despot. Oh and he can read minds so if you dare to have a thought he dosen’t like your getting banished, with no telling what that means or where anyone disappeared goes. It’s good stuff. Highly recommend it, Mumy is absolutley terrifing and a brilliant actor even at that age and I wish he’d done more as an adult. I also bring it up because Lily played his daughter when they did a sequel episode during the UPN version of the show, set decades later and showing just what the little terror was like grown up... as well as what happens when his DAUGHTER gets the power. It was also really good and worth a watch after the first one. Good stuff.

TLDR: Leni is one of my faviorites, so’s her voice actress, i’ve rambled enough about unrelated stuff at this point.

We open at the mall, where for Leni life begins after schol, that’s when we bend all the rules time to hang with all her friends in the place where she belongs!

youtube

I mean technically she’s 17 now, but she was 16 when she started this job and none of them were 16 by the time the show ended so nyeh. This started in season 3 when the show started giving the girls not just their own stories but their own supporting casts., storylines, love intrests etc. Luna and Luaan got their romance plots with Sam and Benny, Lori got her college plot towards the end of the season, Lynn’s friends started showing up in her plots more, Luna’s mortuariy club went from assorted background friends of hers to a full fleged supporting crew, and of course Lincoln’s friend group started to become a recurring part of his plots away from his sisters.

For Leni, being one of the only three kids that could legally work at the time, another possible plot to dig into, and with Luna having way less incentive to get a 9-5 job with her music to work on and the fact we’ve seen her use said music to make money once in a blue moon, Leni was a good choice. It gave her something she was good at besides fashion, even if it’s fashion adjacent and gave us a new supporting cast for those stories: Her boss Mrs. Redinger, your standard “i’m tough by fair” type, and her new friends Fiona and Miguel, two fellow fashion savy teens played by actors i’d never heard of but who do a damn good job and play off her well, with both being a bit sarcastic but Fiona being a bit more mopey and deadpan and Miguel being a possibly but defintely gay teen. Both play off her well by being more down to earth and more wiling to be negative, but still enjoyable enough to be around you can buy them being friends with Leni and their a stellar addition to the cast. I wish, much like we’ve gotten with Liam lately, we could see more of them outside leni stories. Their a treat.

But I really like Leni’s work there. Besides the cast it puts Leni in a role of responsiblity she excels at. My only real problem is her boyfriend, maybe I dunno, Chaz, one of the ONLY love intrests from l is for love to get mentioned again and one of the more intresting ones, never shows up despite also working at hte mall and the story potetial of them working for rival stores or the same store. I mean I can’t blame them for not throwing another love intrest on the pile when they had two ongoing romance plots, but now both Luna and Luann are on steady ground with their steadies, it’s time to pull that trigger, get off hte ground and eat that horse. Also let LIncoln have one again will ya? It dosen’t have to be stella but Girl Jordan is right there, i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again.. where is she. And if not her just make one you’ve proven to actually be really good at it.

Where was I? Ah yes the mall. Leni is doing great at her job, suggesting some gloves to scoots, who ceases being skeptical when a hunky younger man of 30 something compliments her on them them chases off after him. If you don’t remember who scoots was that’s the old lady on a scooter who makes troulbe and appareltly can still get it. Good for her. Granted this is coming from someone who ships eda and stan pines still even though it’s now revealed she’s 30 but... frankly I don’t think age is a concern with her and stan can make this joke, so it evens out.

I mean he would right? I”m getting off topic even more than usual, point is Leni is doing great and her boss takes her to the break room for cake room... it’s just the one cake but can you imagine a cake room? that’s the life. Just a fridgerated room full of cake.

Turns out she’s EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH. And she didn’t have to chain squidward to an ancient battle ship to get it or anything. After some confusion, Fiona has to clarify it’s NOT her birthday because of course she does, Leni is proud. Full of cake and pride she tells her mom whose decided to reward her good job at work.. by dumping a bunch of respnosiblity on her. I kid. Rita is being somewhat resonable here. She asks Leni to take over Lori’s old role of babysitting/making sure the other 10, now 9 kids don’t burn the house down... no really she actually specifies that when leaving in the next scene. Which.. fair enough.. you have 11 kids, all likely to plug in a lot of stuff especially Luna and Lisa, said Lisa is a mad scientest who ends up nearly being the one to do it this time, Lynn has no common sense, and the younger ones who aren’t mad scientst are still reckless and vain and combattive respectivley so the odds of a house fire nearly breaking out on any given night are 1:1. But Leni in a show of self doubt that’s rare for her is scared (Though her revealing that by answering a question of how she’d feel about about babysitting the kids with “Scared” was fucking gold. I swear Lily’s deliveries are always so great. ), and while Rita assures her she’s not sure. But as I said, she is being resonable: While Leni’s not the brightest she’s kind, she’s been shown even before her recent major award she’s responsible, she’s babysat for other people’s kids, and she’s kind. I mean they COULD put Luna or Luaan in charge but while when I first read the preview blurb for this episode I was cuirous why they didn’t think of that or thought they would, this episode does a good job presenting WHY they’d do it, while other episodes fill in the gaps: Luna is a bit reckless and Luaan can get caught up in her bidness and as we know once a week goes through the green door and comes out a gamma monster fuled by the sound of her own laughter, a horrible mixture of the joker and madman.. the leader’s insane brother. I’m a huge nerd, you all know this. Leni is the right choice.

Despite her nerves Leni has little choice but to take it on and Mr. Loud proudly sees her out with ye olde english as he and Rita, with lily in a cute little knight’s helmet in tow, are going to a renisance fair to cater, with Lynn Sr needing the backup. And while you may say “what about his staff”.. their either going with and he just needs an extra pair of hands since it’ll be nuts, or some of them are staying behind to man Lynn’s Table while he’s out on his catering gig. I mean the man has plenty of time for his kids, he’s not at the restraunt 24 hours a day. Someone else has to run it when he’s gone. I asked internally why they didn’t just take them along.. then reminded myself that taking all 11 kids to the faire at once, without anyone to watch them and likely having to call in favors when jsuta s likely, Lynn Sr and Rita can take them all another day with presumibly free passes as part of the catering job as that sounds like the kinda thing he’d do. Also Senior’s into scarf’s now thanks to Leni, which I love. Looks good on him. Hank should give her a call. Ascots may be out but I think he could rock a scarf. I’ve had ventures on the brain. What follows is naturally Leni having several panic attacks as chaos naturally insues btu without Lori’s lifetime of experince dealing with it. IT’s a nice dynamic: Leni, as we’ve established, has always been sort of Lori’s sidekick, her best friend, her amigo. Sure they fight, siblings do that, but they’ll always be there for each other when it counts. SHe’s never really had to THINK without her or be without her, so throwing her into the deep end of taking care of the kids really leaves her shook. It’s a HARD job, it’s probably why the louds don’t bring in babysitters often: there are 11 kids to look after, 10 now and only 9 tonight but still a LOT of them and most of htem pretty high maintince. It was just easier with Lori because she grew up knowing each of them, knowing each of their weaknesses and putting the fear of her righteous wrath into them. They’ve spent their whole lives looking up to her, literally and figuratvely, as their big sister and respecting her as the biggest authority in the house that’s nto her parents, sometimes bigger. Those aren’t just big shoes to fill , their Galactus size and that combined with her big sister worship leaves Leni understandably scared, lost and frequently paralized with anxiety this episode. No really multiple times she just freezes and one times she screams. As someone with Anxiety disorder I related to this.. sometimes you either just break down or you just FREEZE from the stress and everything hitting you at once and have no idea how to progress while people are still barking at you to do something. It’s a lot but it was a nice touch that really added to her sympathy. And her anxiety is also understandable when she’s being hit with 80 problems at once, which i’ll tackle all at once here rather than in order as this episode has a really frentic and good pace: while it follows the formula of “Leni runs into a problem, Leni freezes, then Leni gets help from Lori twice hten mr.grouse, more on that in am inute”, the quick pace and great jokes help keep things from feeling too repetivie.

Anyways the chaos: Just from the start Lucy puts a possibly human liver in the fridge, Lana eats all the cookies then gets skunked by her pet skun, and Lola and Lynn get into a fight over 5 bucks Lynn found, and since Leni can’t just let one kill the other as nature intended she has to fix all this.. mostly by removing the smell with tomato juice and scaring off the skunk and cutting the dolar bill in half. Money dosen’t work that way as both sisters point out but frankly it’s Lola and Lynn, I don’t care who they feel.

Meanwhile two of my other faviorties get into a tiff over their room: Luaan turns it into a comedy club and kicks luna out, with Scoots and her new man returning. Again, get it girl, get it, and Leni, under Lori’s advice, pretneding to be a fire marshall.. only for Luna towarsd the end to turn it into her own rock club. Lisa creates a corossive super substance that burns a hole in the floor, Lana continues to grapple with the skunk and finally Lincoln and Clyde.. watch a scary movie despite Lucy’s warnings.. and Lucy does something else.. I think? It was a chaotic episode with a lot of set pieces so forgive me if I forgot one of them. Honestly she’s the most well behaved there.But yeah as per the cliche Lincoln and Clyde, after Leni gets the wifi fixed with Mr. Grouse’s help, they get super scared and freaked. Everyomne is freaking, the house is falling apart and Senior wants permission to wear a pinky ring via thought cloud.. which.. no man no. Scarves yes but no one looks good with a pinky ring. No one. And I say that as amporphous blob covered in hair, sweat and regrets.

As for how Leni deals with all this she leans on Lori, calling her twice, but at inportune times: during a golf game and at the library where said phone gets taken. Granted, I don’t get why she didn’t have it on silent, as I would in those situations, but then we wouldn’t have an excuse to include her and it feels necessary to show WHY Lori can’t just help all night or reassure her sister and with Lori gone the panic only intensifies. As I said she gets paralized with fear and later just outright screams.. which attracts an irate Mr Grouse, the next door neighbor who I need to watch more of’s episodes. Including 12 louds of leapin.. I know i’m way overdue on that. This december. Promise.

The old man who yells at Louds helps for a bit, helping get rid of a beach Lynn set up because she’s lynn, she has the consderation of a puppy, but eventually falls in a hole like most great heroes and most elderly people. I mean the ones up the street at the retierment home must fall in once a week. They get out of course because the assitant living mole lets them ride out as it digs into the walls. Or maybe that was just a hallucination. Eventually though the start at her job comes back as she calls the only people she has left for help: Fiona and Miguel, who are at the mall in chairs because of courser they are, and both are confused why she’s so helpless: She’s fantastic at work, she’s kind, confident and smart.. about certain things, she can do this. Besides helping her confidence with this really sweet moment they also give her a good tool for how to use said confdience from work: just treat her siblings as customers. It’s also a nice call back to how we’ve seen Leni learn way back in season 1 during “Driving Miss Hazy” we’ve seen that she can have troulble grasping things, but when you put it in terms she understands, like fashion, or shopping, or in this case helping customers with their issues, she snaps into it. She learns at her own pace in her own way, it’s why I think sh’es neurotypical, and possibly ont he spectrum like yours truly: while her stupidity isn’t part of that the unqiue way she processes things has me supscious. either way it works.

So with a new strategy Leni.. literally adresses them like shoppers, which is comedy gold. However it’s a valid strategy: besides the visualation part by getting them to form a line, instead of trying to handle 2 or 3 problems at once she simply handles them one at a time: She scares the skunk off again, shuts down both competing clubs in the older kids room, uses water to take out lisa’s universal solvant, gives Lola and Lynn 5 bucks instead of just cutting a ten in half this time, and in the sweetest moment of the episode, reads Clyde and Lincoln a childrens book to clam them down. Sure it’s a bit funny but their genuine relief and all threes adorable expressions really melt the heart.

Leni finally wins, just as her parents get home and congradulate her, Rita’s faith not misplaced. While Rita probably knew it’d be an adjustment, and frankly should’ve prepped her sooner, she knows her daughter and knows waht sh’es caapable of. Also Senior brought home meet and gives leni a turkey leg who gives it to the old man who now lives in a hole inside their house. That’s his home now. Mr Grouse is just there now. Or I wish he was. But I guess you can’t always get what you want epsecially if it’s an old man living in a hole in the loud’s living room. Someday. Final thoughts for The Boss Maybe: As you could easily tell I loved this one. Funny with a hell of an emotional core, and with great pacing espeially for a loud house episode, this was a joy to watch and easily one of the best episodes the show has done. Just a funny, breezy watch with a lot of subtext, intetional or not, regarding what we’ve seen of Leni and honestly i’m going to go with intetional. It felt really rooted in who Leni is, her relationship with lori, and her work without hitting you over the head with it. It just all flowed really well and made for a hard one to top for the season this early. I’m impressed and it gives me hope for the rest of the season.

Family Bonding

This one was.. okay. As i’ve learned the hard way from doing Amphibia when an episodes just okay it’s best to breeze through it.. but I can give it this. While it’s mostly a standard loud house episode the ending.. wasn’t predictable. That’s for sure. I mean.. it left me with only one thought really...

But i’m getting ahead of myself. The episode’s plot is standard for the most part: Lincoln’s obessed with a new spy comic book about a james bond expy.. okay so that’s what Sterling Archer did besides physical therapy for the three months between his waking up and Season 11. Anyways they soon get more exciting news from Lynn. New Neighbors! Before Rita can stop them, the rest of her family tramples over her and goes to make their aqunatince and of course be a bit overbaring with it before Rita rushes in with a spray bottle to spray them like a bad dog because frankly when your dealing with 11 people most of whom are really impuslive, sometimes dog training just works. You try raising eleven kids and see how long before your brain breaks. Anyways after introductions and the mom turning down cherry pie, you monsters, lincoln sees strange flashing lights and a device and is convinced something is up and unable to convince his family and on a spy kick, recurits clyde. Now why he dosen’t call on Stella and Zach I dunno. And yes I said Zach and not my boy Liam. I have my reasons: Stella, besides being a faviorite of mine, is a tech whiz as shown in one of the comics and in the cookie episode, and Liam is already a paranoid conspiracy nut and as we’ve seen with Dale Gribble, they can be suprisingly useful. I mean Dale is not the best on common sense but he knows goverment bilaws in and out, is skilled with a gun or a bag of pocket sand, and has danny trejo’s octavio, whose basically danny but as hired muscle instead of a master actor, on speed dial. I mean we don’t know if Zach dosen’t have a danny trejo on speed dial or not. We never asked. As for the other two while I love LIam, spying just dosen’t seem to be in his sizeable skill set and Rusty.. well rusty’s about as subtle as a man covered in screeching cats he glued to himself blowing an airhorn, while screaming the script to a micheal bay movie while doing the explosion noises himself.. which Rusty has probbbly done. The real thing i’m getting at is I don’t get why, outside of Clyde and LIam, the writers think when LIncoln has an epiosde it either just needs ot be ClyncolnMcCloud or the ENTIRE group, when one or two would do the trick. YOu CAN seperate them out. People do hang out with diffrent friends at diffrent times. I know the show’s grasp on reality is tenous at best, we got to that last week with the whole one teacher for core classes thing with schooled and this week.. again we’ll get to it in a second, but friends DO hang out seperate. We saw each member of the Lincrew, minus stella because she didn’t exist yet, doing their own thing in Racing Hearts. It’s not that complicated. It’s hard to flesht hem out when their used as one solid unit and not unresonable to just use one or two. it’s a lesson I hope the show learns eventually and hope it’s sister show learns too.

But yeah our dynamic duo spend the episode as youd’ expect; unraveling conspriacies and stalking the new family, though there are some funny bits. Besides Rita squirting her family like a cat or a dog, we have flip getting half his face shaved by a survelince drone and okay maybe just those two things. not bad bits, but the general concept of them roleplaying into mischief.. has been done before. The show’s done the detective bit before and the spy trappings really don’t change that. And you CAN do a good spy takeoff episode, this one just sin’t it and feels like your standard LIncoln and Clyde messaround with tuxedos. Which to be fair are pretty awesome but still. It’s pretty flat. The climax though? I’ll give it this.. it’s pretty entertainngi if also 100% what exactly the fuck. So our heroes are naturally caught sneaking into the neighbors house and its eems they were wrong, etc etc, exactly what we expected the new kid will hang around.. at least we have a new character. Instead.. LIncoln accidently hits a knob and unveils a panel

So yeah... turns out the new family ARE spies, just for Peach Growers and plan to wipe out all cherries in royal woods. Yup.. look I know this universe is patently insane but even for loud house, even with all of lisa’s super science... even with the slapstick but this is just.. nuts. Like i’m fine with suspending my disbelif, this show is a goofy comedy, but this is a bit much. I LOVE it for being nuts but only in a “what on spagehtti monster’s green earth were you thinking”. I get swinging for the fences but Lincoln getting into a fight with a bunch of spies after playing spy, well beating them with slapsticks and stopping their plot to elmitie cherries..t his isn’t Kids Next Door. This just.. dosen’t work. Jeff Goldblum tell em why, my brains too broken to articulate this anymore

Yeah that. It’s just a weird climax and ends iwth LIncoln vetting the new neighbors.. which does it include girl jordon? Did they just write her out? If so why? Fans liked her, you can have more than one female character in Lincoln’s friend group. Zach is replacable. You can give me whatever the fuck this was, but not an intresting friend for him who has personality already. I get 50% chad but not your decision making. Gah.

Final Thoughts for .. this. one This one really didn’t work. Besides the ending just not fitting the series specific brand of ludicrous, I mentioned KND for a reason as it made this sort of plot work fine by having it’s whole unvierse be really fucking weird and specific, it’s mostly just okay. We’ve seen this before.. well okay I haven’t watched many of the Lincoln and Clyde messarounds, but the formula’s about the same. And that dosen’t work. For one you have a HUGE swath of new possiblities: A new school, Chandler coming back, new teachers and faculity, a new principal, and Lynn and LIncoln being in the same school, and you instead just.. retread the same crap. you have 4 of lincoln’s friends other than clyde to use but don’t let them in on the fun. And most agrivating to me you move new neighbors into the neighborhood while neglecting some of your old supporting cast and have them be villians of the week instead of adding someone NEW to the neighborhood. Give one of the other kids a new friend, or give lincoln a new friend to add to his group and replace liam, shake up the dynamic with him and clyde bya dding a third or, most obviously move one of his friends INTO the neighborhood, most obviously stella since you spent so much time building her up then have her addition affect Lincoln and Clyde. Sure we’ve had an episdoe of one of his friends getting in the way of them before, but this would be diffrent. This episode is just.. not great and was a waste of my time, espespcailly after following such a stellar episode. It’s probablyt he first genuinely bad episode i’ve covered on this blog. Now that probably won’t stand, i’ve seen genuiley worse but.. as a wise penguin once said.

One last note. That Young Dylan graphic is really obnoxiou and obtrusive. It’s the second most obnoxious thing i’ve seen on this network.

My Stalker Bang Chan 2/4

And so, just as the end of September bled into the start of October, your friendship with Chan began to escalate and grow. The weather became cooler in temperament, as skirts became accompanied by tights and your t-shirts by jackets, seasonal drinks came in with pretty pictures taken on the gram with equally pretty orange nails. Dark lipsticks and warm tone eyeshadow, pumpkin patches, Halloween displays in the shop windows and a general cosy warm feeling in the pit of your stomach that this time of year brings.

Only the weather and the festivities of the season weren’t the only thing leaving you feel light and reinvigorated. You and Chan had established a strong friendship, which while only classroom based, it was definitely a noticeable change from before. He sat next to you every class, and teased you for being such a nerd (even though he was totally one himself), sulked when you didn’t use the pencil he fixed, complimented every little change in your appearance, you gossiped and joked in person and soon turned to social media when a friend request from Chan popped up. He constantly poked you for details about your life, who were your parents, what job did they do, where you lived - sometimes you felt as though you were on a date with him and that you were playing 21 questions. You treated it as such, taking more care in your appearance and constantly fixing yourself up in whatever reflection you could find. When he asked whether you were in a relationship and you replied no, you swore you saw him breathe a sigh of relief.

And of course he constantly badgered you to hang out with him outside of class for a study date, where he promised he’d buy you food in turn for you teaching him, but you turned him down - always having something that busied you. He’d shrug it off though and laugh “another time maybe Y/N?”

Through all the questions he asked of you, a number of which were personal, he never answered himself. Not that he would shut himself off or anything he was just very good at deflecting the conversation. Of course in your eyes this just made him more alluring. The one thing he did love to talk about was the scare house and about the carnival and how when you came down he would love for you to visit him. His character was a white masked character in a red jumpsuit that eerily followed people around one of the rooms, and snuck up on them as opposed to jumping out on them, it was more a B side character, but he seemed content with the role. He’d often talk about how he loved to scare people and how the role was fun because it didn’t require that much theatrics, just stealth. You often pulled a face when he became so excitable about such a thing, but he ignored your discomfort and continued to ramble.

Eventually the general small talk and memes on messenger became deep conversations that lasted until the early hours of the morning. This was another huge turning point in your relationship, and perhaps cemented him from just being a petty crush to somebody you had fallen deeply for - he could hold deep conversations on the world and people and on you and your problems and simplify them in a way which only drew you to him more. He made you feel safe.

“You’re seriously not talking to him are you?” Eve grimaced as you were all at your local coffee shop one weekend - you had tried to be subtle to replying to his texts but you had been busted. “He’s creepy as fuck. Cute, but creepy.”

“He’s a nice guy okay?” You shot back rather defensively.

“Hm nice guys don’t pick up broken pencils and slowly glue them together… or talk about how much they enjoy scaring people,” Josie said as you gave her a frustrated glare, regretting telling them about some of the conversations you two had, had.

“I think he’s just a bit socially awkward,” You replied as a new message shot up on your screen. You had just told him that you were bored in the coffee shop listening to your friends rant about their relationships and this was his reply-

Chan 10.51 am - Oh my god I’m literally here myself.

“Yes he’s very socially awkward and that means he’s clinging to you because he knows you’re a nice person and will put up with his bullshit.” Eve said in between sips of her drink

“He hasn’t done anything bad you guys are acting like as though he’s killed somebody.” You shot back exasperated as you darted round the coffee room trying to find him until you noticed in the back corner a man doing work on his laptop. Quickly you lowered your voice “Shit guys he’s here!”

“What the fuck do you means he’s here?” Eve said widening her eyes and glancing around the room as you just had. Until she spotted him. “Oh shit.”

“What do I do?” You asked trying to pull your chair further behind a column and out of his sight.

“You run.” Josie said as Eve nodded, pursing her lips together.

Chan 10.53am - Are you going to come and say hello then?

“Fuck he’s seen me I’ve got to go, you guys can go into town and I’ll catch up with you later.” You said grabbing your bags as you pulled the chair out of the table.

“And leave you alone with him? No chance in hell, we’re staying here.” Josie said, a defiant look in her eyes as Eve nodded.

Flustered you did little to argue and walked over to Chan who got up and pulled the chair out for you, you didn’t have to see Eve and Josie to feel the full force of their cringe.

“So those are the boring friends,” Chan said nodding over to the conspiring duo across from you.

“Well they’re not boring, it’s just the conversation was, y’know, because I can’t relate,” you laughed awkwardly as Chan placed down his half empty cup and looked up at you, that intense look in his eyes again that you hadn’t seen since you first spoke to him. He looked more intimidating out of school, having shed his boyish presence for something that felt more serious.

“Well let me go and get you another drink,” He said getting up despite your protests.

“Oh nononono it’s fine I have to get going,” You argued but he brushed you off and walked over to the counter anyway, completely ignoring the presence of your friends who rushed over to you.

“Y/N is that you staying here with him then?” Eve asked as she shared a concerned glance between her and Josie, and one of normality between yourself.

“I think so..” You replied watching the barista begin making your drink. “You shouldn’t stay though guys really.”

“We’re just worried about you Y/N, we just don’t want Chan to take advantage of you in any way,” Josie said flicking her dark hair over her shoulder.

“It’s fine guys really just go I’ll catch up later,” You said, and sensing that you would protest and really begin to argue with them if they tried to stay they both vowed to keep in touch with you, darting off before Chan brought a hearty mug of hot chocolate back for you.

He laughed as he noticed you eyeing up the squirted cream and the tiny marshmallows.

“What? I figured you’re too cute to be drinking coffee, and also who dosen’t like hot chocolate,” He said as you smiled and cupped the drink in your hands. “I get the feeling that your friends don’t like me.”

“What? Nooo.” You said, confused as to how he had been able to so easily infer such a thing. “Their just protective of me.”

“Let me guess, they think big bad Chan is going to steal you away and corrupt you,” he said, the tone of his voice sarcasm, but the look on his face notably irritable.

“I’m not sure, I’m sure they’ll come round once they realise just how much of a cool person you are,” You said which lit up his face instantly into that smile as he shut his laptop lid and cupped his mug as well and leaned over, making the coffee shop setting seem more intimate all of a sudden.

“I can’t believe I got the Y/N to consider me as a cool person. My life has been made,” He teased back as you just shrugged, the smiles still clinging to both of your faces. “Well it’s nice to have finally dragged you out from school and the books.”

“I didn’t know you were so intent on hanging out with me,” You joked rolling your eyes.

“More than you know,” He said, letting his stare falter for a second as he looked past you momentarily. “Anyways I wanted to ask you something Y/N. Will you go with me to the monsters bash?”

“Yes I’d love to, but it’s not really like people go with each other, it’s not like a ball or anything like that if you get what I mean,” You said tripping over your words, trying to establish both for him and yourself the expectations - you weren’t a couple, it wasn’t a date. It hurt but you had to pinch yourself a few times around him, almost to remember it was a dream, and not real, you weren’t together, no matter how forward his advances were.

“Oh okay I see,” was all he said, as he showed no sign of annoyance or relief. The conversation continued to flicker between you to for what must have been a couple of hours until the sky began to darken, in such a way that is common in October. Towards the end of your coffee visit, just before you got a text from Josie and told him you had to leave he reached forward and touched your hand - still resting on the luke-warm mug.

“Y/N, we have to do this some other time, or something. I really like hanging out with you,”

“I like hanging out with you to.”

It was as if in that moment you had both admitted in code that you liked each other, although not far enough to confess, this filled him with a new form of confidence as he got up and hugged you before you left, telling you to take care on the walk home. He wanted to walk you back but had a family event which inhibited him from doing so. Even so, when you left he texted you, telling you to tell him to text when you’re home safe. All of the points made up by your friends disappeared into vapour. Bang Chan was perfect, he was so chivalric and such a gentleman from pulling your chair out to buying your drink to wanting you to get home safe.

Walking home you put your headphones in and found Chan in the lyrics, you found him in your reflection in the shop windows - having dusted your cheeks a glisten of pink, you found him in your pocket where your pencil still remained, but where you didn’t find him was a couple of metres behind you watching your every move, following you in his car from the bus station, to your friends meeting up with you, to the bus ride to finally your home. Delighted with the fact that he finally knew where you lived he grabbed his red notebook and scrawled the address down, as pages and pages were littered with facts about you from your favorite food to notes about your personality to even bullet points on your biggest fears, wedged in between the pages were the receipt he had just gotten from the café, a tissue you had dropped from your pocket, even your perfume which he had taken out of your bag and sprayed the pages with so that even from opening the book it embodied you. He smelled the scent and hugged the book close to him, as though for a split moment, it was you in his embrace, he still remembered the way you felt in his arms, small and weak, like a baby bird in the claws of a cat. Meanwhile the funnel of grey clouds slithered across the sky, drowning the moon out into obscurity. Time was running out . . .

So begins the first week of October and things were going great, you and Chan, had, had more outings together, they had just been usually study based or casually drinking coffee but tonight he had invited you out to a movie, and as typical of October - a horror movie. For some reason this felt way more like a date setting and so you were now fawning over your clothes trying to not be too casual… but also not too dressed up… but also not like you were making an effort… but also not like you were making too much of an effort. The only off putting thing was that throughout these outings you had been getting these phone calls every couple of days, nothing happened during them, but you could just hear somebody breathing for around a minute before they would put the phone down. This was incredibly creepy, and while you would have turned to Josie and Eve for help you had grown apart from them as you grew closer to Chan. They strongly disapproved of him and shut down any conversation with him in, this in turn made you feel like you couldn’t talk about your other problems, and so you turned to Chan. Who came up with the logical explanation that it’s October, and kids do fucked up pranks during this time of year. This logical explanation led you to ignoring the calls until they disappeared entirely, perhaps you should have reported it to the police but Chan was probably right, it would just be kids.

Finally you settled on an outfit that you felt comfortable in and waited on Chan’s text that he was here to pick you up. He should be only 15 minutes away. You sat on the end of your bed impatiently, adjusting this and that, twiddling with your fingers, and checking your phone every few seconds.

Meanwhile, Chan’s car hummed along the side roads leading up to your house, despite being only 5pm the sky had already bleakend, as all that illuminated the night were the soft orange hues of lamp-posts and that of Chan’s blinding headlights. Tonight was the night he thought to himself. Deep breaths. You liked him didn’t you? He knew that much from your body language, the way you’d tilt your neck towards him, the way you’d touch him without apprehension, your subtle flirting and the way you looked at him with dilated pupils - as though trying to swallow his reflection. . So why on earth was he so anxious? Oh well.. Tonight’s the night… tonight’s the night… all the while the little red book sat in the glovebox, well thumbed and beginning to tatter, the newest edition a log of all of the times he had called you and how long for, those breaths he may have brushed off as that of teenage delinquents, was actually that of a desperate man in longing. He wasn’t a psychopath.. n o! He couldn’t be! He was a poet, a dreamer, a true gentlemen who wished to court rather than engage in society’s tinder culture where romance was merely a commodity. No , he smiled, tonight’s the night.

“You look great,” Chan beamed as you slammed the car door and sunk into the seat, your nerves and anxieties of the night instantly fading away once you were in his presence.

“Thanks..” You said a small smile on your face as he started the car up again. The radio in the background played at an almost muted volume, to the point where it was hard to work out what it was. You strained forward trying to make out the words. Noticing this Chan turned the dial up ever so that you could make out your favorite musician playing.

“Wow I did not not know you were the type of guy to be into ___.”

“Yeah there’s a lot you’d be surprised at Y/N.”

“Well tell me your favorite song then?! What did you think of their latest album, I like the transition in style but at the same time I’m not sure,”

“I like their first album personally..”

“Oh my god I’ve never met somebody with an appreciation for that!”

“I know right?? It’s such an underrated record.”

Outside the first of the evening’s promised showers began, hitting the windshield at a furious pace, until your view became a watercolour view of the town’s urban lights. Lost in the kaleidoscopic illumination the song drew to a close.

Little Boy Blue (4)

midvale AU part 4

Karadox- AU of the 3x06 e.p of supergirl, in which Brainy (teen Brainy) arrives in Midvale around the e.p timeline. this is part 4 where Brainy has stayed the night with the Danvers sisters, and Superman is coming visit.

Kara was unable to sleep that night and not because there was a strange boy from the future she dragged into the house. No, she was nervous because she was going to see Kal that morning. she can’t explain why, he was her family after all but she had not talked to Kal in a long time. He was kind, understanding and of course a hero, her hero.

But Kara could not shake this feeling like she was just being a burden to him, Alex was right she didn’t think this through. She was the one that brought Querl here and he was Kal’s friend so maybe he was looking for Kal? How did Kal know about Querl? but the worst of all these thoughts in Kara’s mind is that she had made a mess for her cousin to come and clean up for her.

When the sun started to rise Kara got ready and went down stairs to wait. When she reached the bottom of the steps to find Querl sitting there reading one of Eliza’s books.

‘he’s not here yet.’

‘I know but... I wanted to be down here when he did.’

‘then you will be pleased to know that your cousin has impeccable timing’

‘I know’

Querl assuming the conversation had ended then returned to his book and Kara looked at the door, then the clock it was 5:52 am so not long to go. Kara swayed in place and leaned into the lounge room, she held her shoulders with her hands and sat on the arm of the couch Querl was sitting on. she looked at the clock then at Querl.

‘oh what the hell’ she thought

‘when did you and Kal meet?’

Querl looked up from his book.

‘We meet about 2 years ago for me, and about 13 years for him.’

‘Wow, so you know him as someone completely different.’

This confused Querl

‘Is he or is he not Clark Kent of earth, Kal el of Krypton, Superman? or are you referring to some physiological event Kryptonan’s undergo that I am unaware of.’

Kara raised her eyebrows.

“no I mean that’s along time ago for Kal and people act really differently form when they were kids.’

‘I suppose your correct, but I guess will see in about 3 minutes or so.’

‘yeah i guess... What was he like, as a kid i mean.’

‘Well he was - is - one of a kind.’

Kara can’t help be see herself in Querl in that moment. As she was about to ask another question that had been bothering her and then it happened... a knock at the door.

He’s here.

Querl stood up as Kara went over to the door, she was walking to the door but she was moving so slow in her minds eye that it felt me like she was pacing on the surface of the moon. when she finally opened the door she was faced with a man in glasses, for a moment Kara’s brain did register this man as her cousin. Then again what was she expecting, him to show up to her neighbourhood in his red cape and boots. She looked up at him and he gave her a big farm boy smile.

‘Hi, Kara.’

‘Hey Kal,’

his smile remained but his eyebrows lifted.

‘oh umm, Clark remember.’

‘right, Clark, come in Eliza will be down soon.’

Kara lead him in to the house as she followed behind him she noticed he was carrying a book bag that was then shortly abandoned to the floor as he head over to Querl with his arms out wide.

‘Brainy!’

The man then wrapped, the now very small looking boy in his arms.

‘Clark, it has been some time it seems’

‘Speck for yourself you don’t look like you’ve aged a day.’

‘I will have you know i have aged, 247 days since are last meeting.’

‘well then you still haven’t hit the well needed growth spurt.’

‘or it seem’s you had one to many.’

Kara didn’t know was to make of them, she had never see Ka...Clark this way with anyone before it was strange. But Querl then seemed to have shrugged Clark off of him and placed is tips of his figures together.

‘Clark, I need to speak with you...privately.’

Clark then looked over to Kara who was standing in the doorway.

‘Would that be ok,Kara?’

‘Yeah, I’ll go get Alex and Eliza up stairs.’

as Kara walked you the steps, she heard words like Super hearing, Legion, Luornu and anti-matter force. when she reached the top of the stairs she saw Alex brushing her hair in the bathroom.

‘Hey, my cousins here.’

‘Neat.’

She didn’t look away from the mirror.

‘Is Eliza up yet.’

‘Yeah, she be out in a sec.’

‘Ok,’

‘What.’

‘Nothing, Great Ruo’

Kara then walked over to Eliza’s room and went to knock on the door but it opened before she did.

‘Oh, Kara good morning,’

‘Morning Eliza, Clark's down stairs,’

‘right, let’s all go down, that means you to Alex’

‘Why,’

‘Because this concern everyone, including you.’

‘It won’t concern me if i stay out of it.’

‘Alex.’

‘Fine.’

They all went down stairs and made there way into the living room, as Kara heard.

‘Brainy, I’m not a kid anymore...Eliza good to see you again.’

‘You to Clark.’

‘Have you meet my friend properly yet.’

‘Yes I did when I got home last night.’

Kara grit her teeth. Clark then looked to Alex

‘Hi Alex.’

‘Hi.’

‘Ok, we have a lot to cover here so I’m just going to lay it out for everyone, ok, do you all want to sit down.’

everyone sat down as Clark remained standing. Kara noticed that Querl’s demeanor had changed to frustrated and uneasy.

‘First off, I’d like to thank Kara for Helping Querl get somewhere safe, Secondly the ship Querl came in has been taken... by the government already, though that’s bad, the good new is they won’t know that it’s from the future, Bad new is we can’t get to it. Now luckily Querl is more then smart enough to build his own ship but he can’t just yet as the government will be looking for an alien around this area so moving him would be a mistake right now.’

‘Oh Hell no,’

‘Alex’

‘No Mom can’t you see what he’s doing, he’s dumping another one off for us to deal with because he can’t.’

‘Alex that is enough, no one was dumped here the first time, and I would like to think that God forbid, anything like this happened to you that someone would be willing to do what i have done for your sister. Do you understand’

‘Yes Mom, Sorry Mom.’

‘Thank you, go on Clark.’

‘Ok finally and for reasons I can’t explain, I won’t be able to asset Querl after today,’

Querl put his head down in defeat.

‘What? what do you mean you can’t help,’

‘Kara, believe me I want nothing more, but there are thing happening that I can’t interfere with no matter how much i want to.’

‘I thought he was your friend. Your just going to leave him like this.’

‘Yes and now i can in good conscience, knowing that I am leaving him with the people who would fight for him as hard as I would.’

Kara fell silent after that, Clark was leaving Querl here for her to help when he knew he couldn’t. He trusted her with his friend’s life.

‘Eliza I’m sorry for doing this.’

‘Don’t be, i’m happy to help.’

Alex seemed to have reached her limit and left the room running up the stairs.

‘I wish could make things easier for Alex, but i.’

‘These things take time Clark and she a Danvers so she’s as strong as they come. On earth anyway.’

With that Clark gathered his things and went to the door Kara, Eliza and Querl followed.

‘Thank again Eliza, Kara it was good seeing you.’

Clark than looked at Querl

‘Brainy, I umm, It will be ok even if it dosen’t seem like it now. Eliza will look after you and Kara will look out for you. I know she will.’

Kara nodded. Querl lifted his head up

‘Until we meet again.’

he then put his hands behind his back and turned away and left into the house.

‘He took that about as well as I thought. l’ll be seeing you.’

and Clark went on his way.

‘Eliza, I’m sorry I brought Querl here without telling you.’

‘It’s alright Kara and this time I’m kind of glad. Who knows what would of happened to that boy if anyone else found him luckily it was just you.’

Eliza then walked into the kitchen and Kara stopped dead in her tracks, she then suddenly realised.

OH SHIT, KENNY

With a swish of you’re tail

Dan is a merman who falls in love with a human named Phil. (A little angst, lot of fluff)

________________________________________________________________

Dan still remembers how he met the beautiful boy, who had eyes that were as clear and blue as the ocean Dan lived in, who had hair that was as black and clear as the night's sky and who had skin as pale and soft as cloth, that was so finely and carefully made, that it made Dan almost scared to touch Phil in case he damaged him in some way.

In the world Dan lived in, his love for the boy was seen as wrong and impure, it was seen as being a fantasy and something that only ever happened in books and fairy tails, it was unrealistic and unacceptable, and for Dan it would only ever be a dream that he wished could come true.

Dan was the son of a king, not the king of the whole ocean but king of part of it, there were many different king's who ruled their own little sections of the deep blue Waters. Hell, there are so many Kings that Dan dosen't even know how many there really are. Some people say there is hundreds of kings and queens, and some say that there are thousands, but Dan can never be sure.

Dan is the fifth son in his large family, but the ninth child. He's the youngest in his family, a boy of only one thousand and seventeen years old, or in human years seventeen. Mermaids and Mermen can live for thousands of years but many don't because there is many dangers in the sea caused by humans and by the creachers that live in the waters.

It was a warm summer night when Dan met Phil. Dan was swimming up near the surface, but not above the water, as he was still very young and not trusted and not thought to be mature enough to poke his head above the water. Dan thought this was okay though because he could still see what was going on above the water, even if it was very hard to see he could still see it and he could still witness it all for himself. The only issue was that Dan couldn't really hear what was going on, and he couldn't feel what was going on either.

Dan was swimming along the bottom of a Cliff, looking up through the water to see the beautiful, star filled black night sky. Dan loved the sky more than anything, he found it so absolutely fascinating and beautiful, so much so that he would take every chance he could get to come as close to the surface as possible just to see it.

Dan kept looking up above the surface of the water, wondering how the air would feel against his skin, some of the older mermaid girls once told him that it was cold, but a good kind of cold, they told Dan that it made them feel more alive then they ever have in their long lives. They told Dan that he had to experience it one day. However Dan knew it would be a long time before he ever did get to poke his head above the waters.

Well Dan thought it would be a long time. As he looked up above the water he saw something strange, something that he had never seen before and whatever it was it was getting closer and close to him, until it hit the water. Dan waited for all the bubbles to clear until he went closer to whatever fell into the water.

A human.

Dan couldn't believe his eyes, a human, a real live human was floating right in front of him. Dan was terrified at first, as he was told all his life that humans were dangerous and not to be trusted, that all they wanted was to take the people of the sea and put them on shows for other humans to gaze and laugh at. Dan waited for the human to attack or try to hurt him but, the human did nothing but start to sink.

Dan didn't really understand why the human was sinking and not moving. Then Dan remembered that humans aren't like mermaids and mermen, they can't survive in the water for very long, that's why they stay above the land. Dan panicked, the human was not moving at all and he was sinking further and further down into the deep waters.

Dan wondered if he should help the human or not, Dan was always told that humans were bad and only out to hurt the thing's that live in the sea but surly, not all humans could be like that, could they? Dan knew he would get in trouble for it, maybe even locked up by his father until he learned how to behave but Dan had to take a chance.

Dan took hold of the human by his wrist and dragged him upward and out of water, back to where the air was. For a few seconds Dan was stunned, he breathed in the ice cold air and his whole body shuttered like it never had before. Dan looked around and he could see everything so clearly for the first time ever, he could see the brightness of the sky and how the stars seemed to shine. He could also see the area surrounding him, the colour of the beach close to the waters and the way the water moved above the surface. Dan felt alive, so very alive for the first time ever.

Dan was brought back to the real wold when the human made a sound and started to move around trying to get a breath. Dan swam over the the surface of the beach and touched the parched Sand with his hands, it was like the sand was desperate for water but couldn't quiet reach it, like it was forever trying, but never getting there. This for some reason made Dan feel sad.

Dan set the human down on his back against the sand, watching him. Dan thought the human was interesting, they way he breathed so rapidly and moved around ever so slightly, the way the human had long legs that was almost as long as Dan's tail but not quiet, the way the human had something else at the bottom of his body instead of fins. Everything about the human was fascinating to Dan.

Dan pushed the hair out of the humans face so he could get a better look, the first thing Dan realised was that the human was extremely pale skinned unlike Dan who's skin was slightly more tan than his for some odd reason. Dan was sad that the humans eyes were closed because Dan would have loved to see them.

Dan lay next to the human for a long time, hours, minutes, Dan wasn't really sure but he didn't really care because he didn't really have any seance of time, he never needed to. Time meant nothing to the people in the sea, time was something that those on the land made up.

The sun was starting to rise when the human started to open his eyes. Dan moved away from him and stared to crawl his way back to the water, he turned around to see the human sat up, looking right at him. The humans eyes were wide and his mouth was hanging open, Dan was almost afraid that the humans mouth would fall off. Dan giggled at the human before making his way back into the water, making his golden tail splash the water behind him playfully before swimming away, ignore the calls of the human telling him to come back. Dan was not worried because he knew the human could not follow him or hurt him in any way.

Dan was back at the same place as before about a week later, at least, Dan thought it was a week. Dan decided he would try the human thing and keep track of the days and the time. However seeing as Dan had no way to tell the days or the time this was quite hard., but he still tried. Dan poked his head above the water again because he wasn't scared too, the way Dan saw it was that he's already done it once so he might as well do it again.

Dan looked up to the stars and smiled, he could see them so much better now that they weren't blurred away by the water. Dan sighed contently and looked around him, Dan was still so amazed by the wold above the sea and wanted to see so much more of it. Dan looked over to the beach where he left the human all those days ago expecting to see nothing but the parched, sad sand but no, instead Dan saw the human again. The human was looking right at Dan.

The human and Dan just looked at each other for a while, not moving at all or trying to make any kind of sound. Dan slowly swam over to the human, who was sitting on a rock just above the water, watching Dan as he came closer and closer, but did not make any move the run away.

Soon Dan was right in front of the rock, looking into the humans beautiful eyes that were full of wonder and excitement. The human smiled widely and this caused Dan to giggle quietly at his actions.

"My god.." The human addressed "You're real, like really real."

"Yes." Dan confessed "I am real, did you think I wasn't?"

The human nodded "I thought I was hallucinating when I saw you."

Dan looked at the human questionably, not understanding what the big word the human just used meant. "Hu-Hallucinating?" Dan questioned. "What does that mean?"

The human chuckled a little, now realising that of course the boy in front of him wouldn't understand what that meant. "It means to see or hear thing's that aren't there, it all comes from inside your head."

"Oh.." Dan mumbled very intrigued with what the human told him. "S-So are you a hallucinating?"

The human again chuckled "No, I'm as real as you are. What's you name?"

"I'm Dan!" Dan replied happily "Who are you?"

"My names Phil."

Dan nodded "Well then Phil, why were you falling from the cliff the other day?"

Phil chuckled "I was walking along and I fell off the side, I'm so smart right?"

"Very intelligent indeed." Dan mumbled sarcastically.

Phil nodded "Definitely."

Dan continued to see the human for the next few weeks, and Dan knew it was a few weeks because Phil told him it was, and Phil knew about time so Dan trusted him. Dan thought that Phil was utterly beautiful, with his hair as dark as the nights sky and his skin as pale as cloth, Dan felt himself falling for Phil more and more as the days went on.

It was a Saturday, and it was about ten at night and Dan and Phil were together talking again like many nights out of the week. The times they did meet mostly consisted of Dan asking a number of different questions about the humans and how they lived. Like today Dan was asking about different ways that humans show affection.

"So.." Dan mumbled thoughtfully "A hug is a way humans show affection? How do they do it? Is it some kind of dance?"

Phil giggle and rolled his eyes, he thought that Dan's little understanding of the human world was quite cute in it's own little way. "No Dan a hug is not a dance. It's when people wrap their arms around each other, they hold each other and it's very comforting and nice. I love hugs."

"Oh." Dan said now sort of understanding. "People of the sea don't hug."

Phil frowned "Really? That's horrible I couldn't imagine living in a world without hugs. What do people of the sea do then? To show love or affection."

"Well.." Dan started "If people of the sea dance together it shows love. so if I loved someone and I they loved me we would dance together to show that. Joining arms is a sign of friendship so I would join arms with my friends when we go around the place, however hand holding again is only for those who are in love. Kisses on the cheek are for friends and family members, not loved ones. If I kissed someone I was in love with on the cheek they would be offended."

Phil listened to Dan quietly, being very interested in how Dan lived. "Wow.." Phil breathed out when Dan was done. "That's..amazing really."

Dan shrugged "It's nothing special to me, It's my way of life. I think the way you live is amazing."

Phil nodded "Well that's because we both live in such different ways..." Phil trailed off and blushed a little, Dan still didn't really understand what a blush was. Was it a way to show happiness? Or sadness? Dan really wasn't sure.

"Dan?.." Phil asked timidly "You've never had a hug before have you?"

Dan shock his head, he's never had a hug but that's because where he comes form the don't exist.

"Well..Can I give you a hug?.." Phil asked quietly.

Dan looked at Phil wide eyed. "D-Does a hug hurt?" Dan asked slightly afraid of something he didn't understand.

"N-No they don't!" Phil said quickly, trying to make Dan not worry. "Hugs are really nice a-and if you don't like the hug we never have to do it again.."

Dan bit his lip nervously and nodded "O-Okay..We can try it."

Phil smiled widely "Great!"

Dan was about to ask how this was gonna work because he couldn't reach Phil who was sitting up on the rock but before Dan could ask Phil had already taken off his shoes and socks, setting them next to him. Phil then took off his shirt, putting it to the side jumping in the water, making it splash a little.

Dan giggled "You're all wet now silly."

Phil shrugged "Oh well, could be worse."

Dan nodded "O-Okay so..How does the hug work? C-Can you start it?" Dan stuttered out.

"Dan don't be so afraid." Phil said softly "Iit's only me, I wont hurt you, trust me."

"I-I trust you Phil.." Dan mumbled quietly.

Phil rested his hands on Dan's damp shoulders, feeling Dan tense up a lot so Phil went slowly. He moved closer to Dan and slowly wrapped his arms around Dan's waist, but not pulling him to close yet in fear of frightening Dan or making him uncomfortable.

Dan didn't hug back yet because he wanted to get used to the feeling of having Phil's arms around him like this. After a few minutes of silence Dan slowly let his arms moved to wrap around Phil's waist and in doing that, Dan pulled Phil closer.

Dan rested his head on Phil's shoulder and smiled, it was very comforting. "This is..Nice." Dan thought aloud. "You're really warm."

"Oddly enough, you're not cold. I thought you would be but..You're not." Phil pointed out.

They stayed like that for a long time, neither one of them wanting to let go but, they sadly knew that they would have too. However just before Dan pulled away Dan kissed Phil on the cheek softly. Phil returned the kiss on the cheek.

It was six months after that Dan realised he was in love with Phil. Dan always felt that warm seance of butterfly's in his stomach when he saw Phil, when they hugged or anything like that, Dan wanted to spend all his time with Phil and never leave him.

Dan wanted to be human. He wanted to be with Phil.

Dan wondered if Phil felt the same or not, Dan hopped so, but Dan had a feeling that Phil did. Phil always blushed around Dan, and smiled widely and laughed, Phil always looked so sad when Dan had to leave.

It was another normal evening for Dan and Phil, laughing and talking, smiling and joking without a care in the world it was wonderful. Even when it was quiet and they wen't talking it felt good. Phil was lying on his stomach on the rock looking down at Dan and into his eyes.

Dan looked back at Phil happily, with his hand resting on the side of the rough rock, it was peaceful and happy. Then Dan felt it.

Dan felt someone slipping their hand into his, causing his heart to stop for a second before it started to beat so hard and loud Dan was shocked that Phil couldn't hear it. Dan glanced over to his hand that was not entwined with Phil's.

Dan swallowed nervously and looked at Phil again, Phil's face looking calm and Dan's no doubt looking red and nervous. Dan and Phil kept looking at each other for a while, not saying a work but looking at each other like they were reading an interesting book, they were lost in each other.

"Phil.." Dan mumbled after a very long time of silence, but instead of getting a reply Phil leaned himself forward and pressed his lips to Dan's gently and sweetly.

Dan was shocked, but that didn't stop him from kissing back as best he could. Dan had never kissed anyone before, because he never loved any one before, where he comes from kisses are so special and are never to be wasted on someone that you don't love, so Dan saved his first kiss for someone like Phil.

Dan moved his hands to cup Phil's cheeks, not trying to deepen the kiss but merely trying to put something else into it. Dan was trying to show Phil how much he loved him, how much he wanted him and needed him. Dan was also scared that if he didn't touch Phil in some what then Phil would fade away in to dust, flying threw the air and rising up into the sky, to far away for Dan to reach.

Phil tried to wrap his arms around Dan's neck put ended up going to far forward and falling in to the water with a loud splash. Dan giggle and pulled his lips away from Phil's, smiling to much to be able to keep them together.

"You're all wet now silly." Dan giggled, still smiling widely.

"Shut up and kiss me." Phil mumbled, and Dan didn't waste a second, he pulled Phil close to him and wound his arms around Phil's neck, deepening the kiss a little more. Dan felt Phil's tongue pock out so Dan opened his mouth more, letting Phil's tongue explore his mouth, and Dan couldn't help but notice that Phil's mouth tasted of mint and was warm.

The two boys continued to kiss like this for a few minutes until they had to pull away for air, but they kept their foreheads pressed together, their lips only inches apart. Dan could feel Phil's hot breath on his lips and it tingled Dan's lips.

"Dan I love you." Phil whispered breathlessly, letting his lips brush against Dan's as he spoke.

"I love you too Phil." Dan said happily, but his happiness was very short lived. "But..But we can't be together.."

"Why!?" Phil asked, sounding sad and slightly broken by what Dan's just told him.

"B-Because I'm not human.."

"I don't care." Phil said, as a matter of faculty. "I still love you, I don't care if you're not a human, it doesn't change how I feel."

"I can't be with you though.." Dan resorted, "We can only be together if you come here, I can't live on the land and you can't live in the sea..We're..We're not meant to be."

Phil shock his head "I still don't care, I just-I want to be with you Dan I love you, and nothing you can say will change that."

"You're twenty two Phil, you can still find someone else.."

"I only want you Dan."

Dan was going to reply saying something about that not mattering, that they still can't be together. However then Phil pressed his lips to Dan's again and all those thoughts were forgotten.

Dan and Phil had been together for six months, they had known each other a year and Dan knew for sure that he always wanted to be with Phil and Phil knew that he always wanted to be with Dan. Every time they met they shared many lazy kisses, many laughs and so many talks, they met every night and stayed together for hours.

However that wasn't enough for them any more, they wanted to have a life together and not have to stay up all night to be together, they didn't want to keep hiding and fearing that one day something will happen to them and they will be separated. They wanted to be together.

Dan wanted to be human and Phil wanted to be like Dan, Phil wanted to be a merman, a person of the sea, to be able to breathe under the water and live for thousands of years with Dan.

They had talked about it before, Dan said that there is a way that he could be human, there's a sea witch, but not an evil witch, who could do thing's like that in exchange for something. Dan went to see her without telling Phil.

The witch had pure white hair that reached down to the bottom of her tail, all the way down to her fins, her eyes were a bright purple and Dan was sure that if he looked closer he would be able to see bright yellow lights along with the royal purple in the witches eyes, her tail was a light pink colour while her fins seemed to be a baby blue that contrasted so well with the rest of her and lastly the witches skin was almost as while as her hair, but was just a little darker than that.

Dan begged the witch to let him be human, to let him be with Phil and walk among the land with all the other humans, to breath in the air and be able to feel the dry sand in between his toes.

The which however told Dan that if she did make him human, he would die. He would die because he's over a thousand years old and even thought in people of the sea years that is very young, in human years it's very old. So if he became human he would age to the point where he would die.

Dan was crushed, he wanted to be with Phil so badly and now it seemed like he would never get his wish, he would only be able to dream of a wold where he could be with Phil for the rest of his life. However the witch told Dan that there was another way. Dan was ecstatic, there was another way to be with Phil, he could get his wish.

The witch said that Dan cannot become human, but Phil could become a merman and not die. Dan didn't know what to think about that, he didn't think that Phil would give up his whole life as a human to be with Dan. For Dan it was easy because he had friends and a family but they were not very close, Dan was still young only a boy of seventeen so really his place in his home world was nothing important. Phil however he had a human life which if far shorter and fragile then that of a merman life.

The witch handed Dan a hand made glass bottle, it had the most beautiful swirling pattern on it and Dan never thought he would say that a bottle was beautiful but this one was. Inside the bottle was a blue liquid, but it wasn't just blue, it was also a little bit green and yellow with swirling bits of red in the middle and lighter shades of blue threw out it. It seemed to glow in the dark and bring light where there was only dark.

"Take it." The which announced. "With this, you will get what you want."

Dan asked the witch what she wanted for it, but to his shock the witch just smiled and told him, "I only wish to see you happy, because true happiness is such a rare and beautiful thing."

When Dan told Phil what the witch said, Phil was very torn, he didn't know what to say or what he should do. Phil told Dan that he needed some time to think. Alone. Dan understood this of course because it was a huge choice to make, to give up one life for another, do delve into a strange world which he didn't fully understand, to leave everything he's ever had behind, his whole past and possible future.

Then again, Phil could have a whole life with Dan. A whole new different life where he could be with Dan for hundreds of years and never have to worry about being apart or what other people would think of them. Phil could have a second chance at life with Dan, he could leave behind all the mistakes he made and all the worries he had, he could forget about time and what it meant. Time could become nothing, he would never have to be overwhelmed with deadlines for work, or fear that he would be late for something.

He would never have to worry about being humiliated in front of people, or be rejected, feel insecure or lose sleep because he's so worried and anxious about things that don't even matter, things that one day wont mean one fucking thing. He could be happy with Dan, he could feel like he belongs with someone and not need to worry about losing them for a very long time.

Phil took two weeks to think, he spent so many sleepless night thinking everything threw. He also found himself missing Dan a lot in those two weeks, having no contact with him at all made Phil feel so lonely and a little empty.

As Phil went on with his days he looked at everything around him. He looked at the way people around him acted, how so many peoples lives seemed to be so consumed by trying to fit everything they want to do in their day into such a little space of time, how so many people seemed to be obsessed with being the best and reaching the stars just so they can say that they fucking made it. Just so they can say that their the best.

By the end of the two weeks Phil made his choice.

Phil went down to that little beach late and night and sat on that brown, rough rock and waited for Dan. He hopped that Dan would be there, Dan has said to Phil that he would go their every night and wait for Phil to come back, because Dan knew that Phil would come back even if it wad to tell Dan that he was sorry, they couldn't do this any more.

Phil waited quietly on the rock for tow hours before Dan came. When Phil say Dan's wet, brown coloured hair poke out of the water he could't keep his smile and excitement away. Phil had missed Dan so much in the short time they were apart and he was so happy to see him again.

When Dan looked up at Phil he smiled widely, looking into Phil's beautiful eyes and thinking that he could almost swim in them. Phil was already out of his shirt and socks so he jumped into the water with Dan and threw his arms around Dan's shoulders, pulling Dan as close to him as he possibly could.

"I missed you so much.." Phil mumbled into Dan's shoulder.

"I missed you too...I was starting to think that you wouldn't come back." Dan admitted sadly.

"Of course I was gonna come back!" Phil replied, shocked that Dan would even think that.

They both stayed like that for a few minutes, just holding each other close, not wanting to let go ever again. Being apart for so long made Phil realized that he did love Dan, and Phil wanted to stay with Dan forever, to keep him safe and happy, make him feel loved and just be with him for as long as he could be. Phil pulled back from the hug and looked at Dan seriously, something that Phil didn't do very often only when it was needed.

"Dan.." Phil murmured quietly.

"Phil.." Dan muttered back.

"I made my choice." Phil retorted, looking into Dan's eyes. They looked sad, it was like Dan was expecting Phil to say that he was gonna leave him and live a life without him. Dan had a very good reason to think that though.

Phil gave Dan a little smile and watched as Dan's face fell because he knew that Phil had made the choice Dan thought he would.

"I wanna be with you Dan, so I'll do it."

Dan widened his eyes, in utter shock. "R-Really Phil!? Will you really?!"

Phil giggled and nodded "Yes, I will."

Dan grinned widely and cupped Phil's cheeks, pulling him in for a loving, passionate kiss. Phil very happily kissed Dan back, smiling to much that it made it rather difficult to kiss Dan back at all. When they pulled away for air both boys were a giggling mess, not being able to think straight because they were drunk off the happiness they gave each other, they were tipsy off their love.

Dan told Phil to wait while he went to go get the beautiful bottle that the witch had given him, he swam away quickly all the way home down in the deep blue waters. Once Dan plucked the bottle from the safe spot he had left it (Under a big old rock that had moss growing on it) he made his way back to Phil quickly.

Dan poked his head back above the water again and smiled at Phil, holding up the bottle which shined in the dark of night. Phil looked at the bottle in complete awe, it was mind blowingly beautiful and he almost felt bad that he was about to drink it, making such a bright light disappear from the world forever. Phil took the bottle from Dan's cold, wet hands gently, in fear of breaking the fragile glass.

Phil took the lid off the bottle, stretching it up to set it on top of the rock and then letting his finger circle around the top, still in awe of it. Phil looked up to Dan, who was flashing a reassuring smile. Phil returned Dan's smile and put the tip of the bottle to his lips, drinking the beautiful substance that was inside.

As beautiful as the liquid looked, it really didn't taste that great. It was like a mixture of salty water and fish, something that Phil decided that he didn't enjoy. Phil found himself having trouble breathing and soon he was panting, gripping his hands on Dan's shoulders, who watched desperately as Phil chocked and tried to get in a breath but he couldn't.

Phil felt himself start to wake up, but he had no idea where he was. All he knew what that he felt weightlessness, like he was floating on air. He felt warm and calm, at peace even. Phil soon opened his eyes to see a smelling Dan looking down at him. Phil looked around himself and for a second started to panic because he was so deep under that water and Phil cannot breath under that water, he needed to get to the air or he would die!

Then Phil remembered that he didn't need air any more, he remembered that he could breath under the water now. Phil looking around in wonder, it was so beautiful under the water. With all the colourful fish around him, the coral and wonderful strange plants, it was also so quiet, so peaceful.

Dan couldn't take his eyes off Phil, he looked so unbelievably beautiful like this. His eyes were a much brighter blue than they were before, they were more beautiful and captivating than the waters around them, his tail was a Deep sky blue colour bit his fins were pure, beautiful white.

Dan felt almost jealous of the way Phil looked, he looked so beautiful like this while Dan thought of himself as very boring. His plane gold tail, with boring black fins, his eyes were as he liked to call them a 'shit poo colour.'

However Phil saw Dan completely differently. Dan's tail was a lovely shinny gold colour with little bits of yellow spreading threw out it making it look brighter but not to bright, his fins were black but the black was coal dark at the tips of his fins but the closer to the base it go, the lighter it got, and Dan's eyes were even more golden then his magnificent tale, they were so fucking bright that they were like a beacon pulling Phil in.

"Phil.." Phil heard Dan say he name but he was looking at Dan, and Dan did not move his mouth. This creeped Phil out and this caused Dan to laugh.

"Don't be scared silly." He heard Dan say again. "People of the sea can talk with voices, we live under water idiot. We communicate with out thoughts and now that you're like me you can hear me talk like this."

"This is strange.." Phil admitted "But interesting."

Dan nodded "Maybe to you, it's normal for me."

Phil smiled and swam over to Dan, kissing his lips lightly, pulling away a few seconds later, giggling.

"So Phil.." Dan mused "Now that you're here..Want to dance with me?"

Phil couldn't help the huge grin that appeared on his face, he nodded eagerly "I would love to."

Dan giggle and took one of Phil's hands in his own, resting the other on his waist where his tail started. "All you have to do is swish your tail along with him, I'm gonna guess dancing is different from where you are." Dan swished his tail side to side, causing him and Phil to move ever so slightly. "Like that see? It's easy. Now put your hands on my shoulders and then swish your tail along with mine."

Phil did as he was told, resting his hands gently on Dan's shoulders and then started to swish his tail along with Dan's. It caused them to move together slowly, and making Phil giggle because this was so strange and so wonderful.

"Have you ever danced with any one before?" Phil asked softly.

"No.." Dan answered quietly. "Because I've never loved anyone before."

"Well then.." Phil answered happily. "I feel so honoured to be your first dance."

The two boys then leaned in and pressed their lips together in yet another loving kiss and they both knew that their would be many more to follow it.

SELF CONSCIOUS

Warnings: None

Request: Can u do more cute imagines on stage with yn

I wasn’t sure how you wanted the imagine to go exactly but I hope this is good enough, Enjoy!

Heavy breathing and loud screams. It’s a familiar sound now.

I’ve been to so many of his concerts that coming just seems to be a second nature. It’s different then it was a few years ago though. Back then, I only saw him once every few years when he would put on a show, and I would usually only be seeing him from a far distance. He didn’t even know I existed.

But now, my whole world has flipped upside down and as I stood from the wings, watching Justin and his dancers parade around on stage, I couldnt help but look at all the other screaming fans, reaching out for something so small, as simple as a graze of his shoe.

I used to be like that, before I met him for real.

I remember it so vividly. The day it was absolutely pouring rain and I still had a good 2 miles to walk. I remember sneezing from the cold raindrops that trickled down my skin, leaving me to deal with an ongoing flu the next day. But I also remember seeing the black, tinted SUV pulling up beside me.

At that moment my heart nearly stopped, and I was readying myself to run if needed. I really thought I was about to be kidnapped when the door to the SUV swung open, but gee was I glad stayed when I did.

My idol stood in front of me, a concerned look on his face as he glanced at me, then up at the dark grey clouds above. Star struck, I listened to his words, so simple yet so demanding. “Need a ride? Get in! Where are you headed?”

And from there it was a long spiral of being strangers, to acquaintances, friends, to love interests. Then finally - becoming official 3 months ago - as boyfriend and girlfriend.

“Get used to me holding you. Get used to me woeing you. Oh! get used to it...” The last line was sung. Justin’s jumping stopped as he ended in position, the crowd's screams only just beginning to pick up.

“Thankyou all so much for coming tonight.” He announced breathlessly into the mic. “Don’t go anywhere guys, we’ll be back in 10!”

And then he and the dancers ran off stage for a quick break. Justin immediately grabbed ahold of me, smiling like a fool under his head mic. “How am I doing?”

After handing him his water bottle and wiping down his forehead with a towel as he gulped it down, I smiled and said, “Absolutely amazing baby. You always do great.” while rubbing his sweaty but masculine arms. It’s crazy to think that I have one of the worlds biggest popstars, as well as my dream guy, wrapped right around my finger. Just as well as I am with him.

“Let’s take a snap before you have to go back out.” I exclaimed, removing my phone from the pocket of my jeans.

“”Okay. But it’s only going to your family right?” And here we go again. Justin has been trying to keep our relationship a secret ever since we got together. At first it seemed to just be a privacy thing, so we could enjoy a little time to ourselves before going public to the world, but its been 3 months, and It honestly feels a little as if Justin is embarrassed to be seen in a relationship with me.

I mean, I’m definently not the most attractive girl, and I don’t have a model body either. I’m short, with a little belly. I can barely do my makeup for shit and not to mention, I’m not famous. In the end, I’m just a fan.

“Oh- uh. Y-yeah. Of course.” I stutted in a failed attempt to hide my disappointment.

Justin’s face fell, eyes wondering over me in a concern. “You okay baby girl?”

“Yeah, yeah. Just forget it. Don’t worry about the snap. You gotta go out there soon and Scooter wants to talk to you.”

“But-”

“Go. Scooter’s waiting.” I pushed. I honestly just wanted to be left alone for a little bit, and pushing him away for a while was really the only way I was going to get that.

Justin hesitated and compelled but with some tugging and pushing, I got him over to Scooters side and walked away.

Justin’s POV

“Your doing great Kiddo.” Scooter began, looking down at the show plan in his hand, he hadn’t even realised that Y/N had practically dragged me over here, to busy caught up making sure everything was going according to plan.

“Yeah thanks Scoot.” I rushed. “Hey, do you know what’s up with Y/N?”

“Y/N? No. She was fine earlier.” Scooter answered, glancing up towards me. “Why?”

“She just seemed like she was in a bit of a shit mood. Or something was making her uncomfortable.”

“Well did something happen?” He asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

“No...I mean...I don’t think so?” I questioned. “I don’t know.” I sighed. “We were talking about the show, and then all of a sudden she asked if we could take a snap before I went back out. Then after that she just suddenly said she didn’t want to do it anymore and that I should talk to you before I go back out.” I explained.

“Okay...” Scooter trailed off “Did you say anything before that?”

“No, just that we could take a pic, just as long as she only sends it to her friends and family. No one else.”

That’s when Scooters face lit up in recognition, a sigh leaving his lips.

“Justin, I honestly don’t know how so many girls love you. You are so oblivious.” Scooter joked.

“What?” I questioned.

“Justin, did it ever occur to you that maybe Y/N’s feeling a little insecure?”

“Insecure? About what. She’s perfect, there’s nothing to be insecure about.”

“Maybe not to you but to her...” Scooter explained. “Justin, she’s a wemon - a girl. Shes gonna need constant confident boosters and reminders that she is beautiful because otherwise after a while, the confidence she has will just wither away. And you holding back on telling everyone about your relationship is probably starting to affect her. She probably thinks you don’t want to be seen with her.”

“But that’s not true at all.”

“But she dosen’t know that.” Scooter stated.

“Well then...what do I do?” I ask hysterically. Scooter only shrugs and pats me on the shoulder. “That’s for you to figure out Kiddo. Your on in a minute.”

And with that, he walked over to pep up the dancers.

1 minute seconds, that gives me 60 seconds to think of something. C’mon Jay THINK!

Then, a brilliant idea pops in my head. And not only for Y/N’s sake, but i think for the crowds entertainment as well. Guess there’s gonna be one less lonely girl tonight.

“SCOOTER!”

Y/N POV

I sighed, looking out at the stage. “JUS-TIN...JUS-TIN...JUS-TIN!” the crowd chanted in anticipation. He was soon to go on, and the only thing I was feeling was self-conscious. I didn’t mean to push Justin away like that but I just can’t be around him when I get like that. I don’t like him seeing me sad, it makes him sad, and he needs to be in a good mood for the remaining part of this night.

“Y/N!”

The name was smooth but rushed as he voiced it from a small distance. Quickly, I straightened up and planted a fake smile on my face, awaiting Justin’s arrival.

“Hey baby, aren’t you supposed to be getting ready?”

“I need to show you something.” He ignored my question.

“Now?” I ask in confusion. Justin only nods and grabs a hold of my hand, mumbling “C’mon.”

Scooters voice suddenly began echoing throughout the backstage arena, the dancers all running forward towards the wings of the stage. “Alright, where on in 3! 2! 1!”

And then the music began. Light strumming of a guitar. Wait? This isn’t right. the next song should of been trust. This is one less lonely girl...

“Justin, what’s going on?”

But to no avail. All he did was send a wink my way, then began to sing through his head mic, slowly making his was on stage with a firm grip on my hand.

“There’s gonna be one less lonely girl, One less lonely girl, There's gonna be one less lonely girl,One less lonely girl! How many I told you's and start overs...”

While He progressed on stage, his grip around my hand tightened as I struggled to pull away. “What are you doing?” I whispered.

I watched as the dancers ran around on stage, planting a stool in the middle.

Justin lead me further and further until I was in sight of every screaming fan. The cheers made my head dizzy and the attention made my body weak but with Justin here, everything seemed to refocus and seem alright.

Justin smiled and placed me on the stool in the center of the stage, continuing to sing the current verse of one less lonely girl, what in the world was the boy doing?

“Saw so many pretty faces before I saw you. Now all I see is you! No, no, Don't need these other pretty faces like I need you, And when you're mine in the world - There’s gonna be one less lonely girl!”

He moved his body from singing towards the crowd, to directing the song towards me. Running his hand down my body and face in a sentimental way, love shining through his eyes.

He continued the lyrics to his old but popular song, half way through helping me off the stool to where he cradled me in his arms and began slow dancing with me, his arms locked around me, pushing my head into his chest.

Then the song began to come to an end, and he stopped moving. Looking me directly in the eyes with his arms stretched slightly, cupping my cheeks. Honey eyes radiating with nothing but love.

“If you let me inside your world! There's gonna be one less lonely girl....” Then in a raspy and low voice, he mumbled, “You shawty” Before connecting his lips to mine.

And although we were accompanied by thousands of people screaming in shock, it was as if no one else was in the room but us.

The kiss lasted a few seconds at least, before he finally pulled away, pulling me into his side and waving off towards the crowd with a smile.

“GIVE IT UP FOR MY GIRLFRIEND EVERYBODY!”

Close Enough: So Long Boys And Clap Like This

ON this hour’s episodes: Josh decides to have a vasectomy after a pregnancy scare and soons end up dealing with second thoughts and bostonian robots while Alex regrets getting his after meeting what are maybe his children. Then Josh finally sells a game but it falls through and takes up extra jobs to avoid telling his family while Bridgette is forced to get a real job on her birthday and Alex enjoys inudstrial humis. Clap Like This under the cut.

So Long Boys

Aka the greatest vacesctomy based comedy episode since Brooklyn Nine Nine’s “Choclate Milk”. If you don’t know the show or don’t remember that episode if you are a fellow 99er it’s the one where Jake thinks his superior officer and friend Terry getting a vasectomy means chopping his penis off. I mean it starts off just assuming he’s making a joke but it becomes blurry if he’s just making quips or genuinely thinks that’s how it works. It’s also easy to compare these two because they both, while vastly diffrent and great episodes in their own rights: have a simlilar beat to the plot: a character trying to get a vasectomy for responsible reasons but being unsure they don’t wnat more kids. It’s just Brooklyn Nine Nine is more also about Jake being hurt Terry dosen’t think of him as a friend, a position he reverses while Close Enough has indentured pop and lock teenagers, a dark ride dedicated to scaring people out of kids and bostionan robots that sound like JFK from Clone HIgh. How does any of this fit together, let’s take a look.

So we open with Josh and Emily having a huge pregnancy scare, which was caused by the birthday sex from the pitch trailer aka Josh trying to pass it off as “we’re just doing our taxes sweetie!”. In other words the main bit I wanted to see transfered to the show proper. And while there’s a few joke this scene is mostly played for drama.. it’s not out of tone with the rest of the show. What really has made this show work for me is it combines regular show antics, but with the added maturity of having an older cast dealing with growing up. A bunch of 30 somethings to start instead of a bunch of 20 somethings so instead of dealing with stuff like video game competitionts, guys nights, and dating woes, it’s more dealing with juggling family and friends, having a job you hate and trying to ballance your career with your passion. And here is no diffrent: Josh and Emily HAVE no money, live in a cramped apartment with their best friends and a newly divorced couple which as we’ve seen isn’t always easy, and work jobs htey utterly hate and would have to double down on, snuffing out their real dreams, in order to support this kid. Josh outright says he’ll get a second job and give up his video game development which wihle it’d probably be miserable for him would be a sad neciscity. I myself do this blog on the side while trying desperatley to get an actual paying job, it sucks and their situation is compounded by having a kid on top of it who needs their support and attention. It’s stressful enough without adding a second child. Thankfully it’s a false alarm. However Josh, in a show of responsibility decided to do something about it and get a vasectomy. Still being josh though, his getting one also involves a massive and hilarious vasectomy party, where a bunch of people we never met, and alex and bridgette obviously play party games involving pinning sisssors on testies and theires even a breakdancing sperm. Emily and Pearle’s reactions are gold to this: Emily, before the opening, tells Josh he’s not allowed to plan parties anymore, understandable while Pearle genuinely didn’t belivie they were dumb enough to have a vasectomy party and gives out an understandable “Damn you white people” when she’s proven wrong. Alex also gets set up for his subplot in the episode mentioning he got his a year ago, which given his and Bridgette’s relationship was probably falling apart around then was a good call. I do however like this: Something big happend and Josh is taking responsibility for it, while still being josh about it, but it shows how unlike a lot of idiot heroes in adult cartoons,he’s still a genuinely nice guy who tries to do what’s right, and has more than one brain cell. he has two thank you. So Alex drives josh to get a vasectomy, while Randy presumibly watches Candace as we only see her at the start (Peale was watching her during hte party to help keep her in the dark for now) and finish of the episode. Meanwhile Emily, Bridgette and Pearle have a small B plot having brunch mamosas and boxing up candace’s baby stuff. We also find out for 100% sure our heroines nationatlities: Bridgette is japanese while Emily is Mexican. Mostly because Bridgette always saw Emily with a bigger family and only half for racist reasons that get her handcuffed to a pipe by a drunken Pearle. This show really needs more of Pearle asa every time she shows up she’s a fucking delight and if the show hopefully returns for season 2 I could easily see her getting more screentime. Emily ends up in tears and realizing she may want more kids, which is.. resonable. Their only 32. While it’s resonable to want or have any amount of kids, except like 20 like that one tlc show... I never watched it but when the only two things you hear about a show you don’t watch is the weird, archacic dating setup they have that feels like it produces a good marriage as much as Charlie Sheen did, and that the mother won’t stop having kids despite it nearly killing her multiple times and having you know 20, you kinda don’t want to watch it. Anyway it’s resonable to want a family of any size you want, Emily realises she’s not sure she wants to stop at 1 just yet. Meanwhile in the A-Plot Josh has come to the same conclusion after finding out that not only is this version of a vasectomy he’s getting permentant, mostly due to ball scorching done by robots, but after a hilarious but deeplly insulting carnival ride in the clinic that’s supposed to Scare josh out of having kids and features two teenagers fighting and pop and locking, a goblin and a wall just saying why why why why, impilng kids ruin your sleep, your romantic lives and are terrible. Josh however understandably takes offense to this, and seeing a brother and sister.. only make him not want to deprive candace of possibly having a sister oneday. Again while he and Emily are in no way in position for a second kid now.. they have time and Josh could easily sell a game at some point: he almost does in the next episode. ONe of Emily and Bridgette’s songs could go viral. Or Josh could end up finding a much better day job or Emily could get a promtion at hers. While not wanting to have a second child while they can’t support one is the right move, Josh realizes not wanting ot have one at all, at least in their spectfic case, was an overreaction to a scary situation. Josh decides to think more, despite the doctor offring up some pubic scaping for extra, and he and Alex end up finding the Teens from the ride.. who are in fact real kids who look an AWFUL lot and act an awfl lot like alex and are basically indentured to the doctor,who treats them like crap and has them undder contract to pop and lock for him and look at his new pubic hair designs (”Those nights are the hardest”). Josh decides not to go through with it but the bostioan robots who do the procedure refuse to let that happen and leave Josh, Alex and the Twins on the run, while Alex himself reconsiders parenthood as he’s now proud of what he thinks are his kids. As the four are cornered it turns out the doctor is also a prisoner.. but an unsympathetic one since he can A) go home and B) is willingly collaberating with obnoxious robots to do a dangerous verison of a serious procedure to save his own ass and is karmically atomized. When Alex brings up his thinking the kids are his, they sadly explain he isn’t: Their dad’s a republican senator (Tot hteir shame the girl, who I almost forgot to mention is voiced by the wonder Kate MIccui, in her second role in a JG Quintel show. HOpefully if there’s a season 2 or the show stars having arcs they can find a full role for her on the show. ) and Alex finds his sperm he donated ended up in a dumpster.. but is determined to protect the kids anyway. Thankfully our heroes are able to escape with Emily, who sneaks ina fter the robots locked down the faicility’s help, with Josh bummed because he was proud for being responsible as the two discuss still wanting to have kids, with Emily pointing out .. this is STILL responsible. Not going through with something you have doubts about and having an honest talk with your partner is the responsbe thing> The five of them escape, and while Alex knows he’s not the teens father, offers to be there for them if they ever need it. Wrapping things up at a skating rink, The Ramierz’ skate and Josh and Emily plan to do their taxes again later, though likely with a rubber this time, and Alex got his vasectomy reverse and is really weird about it to Bridgette’s annoyance. Also 20,000 years into the future subhuman cavemen versions of hismelf are the dominatne lifeform Neat. Overall this ep was really good, having great character stuff for Josh Emily and Alex, while still having some good bits for the rest of the main cast minus randy who I feel the show honestly forgets exists half the time, with drunk Pearle being a delight. But it’s the emotional core for both sides: Josh and Emily hastily deciding to not have more kids before wondering if they want to keep the option open while Alex realisses he might want to be a dad himself and his bond with waht he thinks are his kids and protectivness of them is really sweet. It’s also not lacking in great jokes; The entire rollercoaster of “DON’T HAVE KIDS” is just black comedy gold from start to finsih including the green goblin for some reaosn, the boston robots and vasectomy doctor are great vilians and overall the episode is just really good and really mature for an episode that also makes plenty of testicle scaping jokes. You can do both.

And continuing the trend from the last few episodes, we have the weaker one (though Golden Gamer was still pretty damn good), second this time around, though like Golden Gamer it’s still decent. The plot is a bit simplier and starts with Josh FINALLY selling a game to two idiot tech billionares, Clap LIke This, a game about clapping along that actually seems really damn fun and I wish were real like Ladder World. While Emily enjoys being able to spend money and her husband finally living his dream or so she thinks, Bridgette, who we find out has been on an allowance from her parents, is cut off on her birthday and has to get a job at a forever 23, one of the few times this show has used an offbrand and not nearlya s awesome a name as “Plugger Inners” it feels lazier if only because again, Plugger Inners exists. But as was revealed earlier, the two guys who bought it went broke and the deal feell through but josh, feeling terrrible about them not being able to afford the finer things anymore, hides it from his family and takes as many shifts as possible at plugger inners. He also runs into David Hasslehoff doing his best mitch von malibu as he just.. throws more money at josh to do what his son asks. Or nephew or whatever. I went back and redited this after finding out that really was him and supposed to be him. I’m also calling his annoying son Hobie for reasons that will be come clear if you’ve ever watched allison pregler’s baywatching series but it’s always fun to see the hoff in something. Especailly the time he made this really embarassing music video.

But alass the 200 dollars Hoff made off “jump in my car” that he gave josh isn’t enough and with him having taken all the insltation jobs josh is forced to turn to black market insltations including one where he installs a tv while jaws eats a guy.. I genuinely wish they’d used this song.
