From the subconscious that brought you the Quiet AU, it's time for Inny's Brain Comes Up With Another 100k fic she's never going to write while she's dreaming.
Okay so it's the Post Apocalypse. The apocalypse happened a few years ago, there was a horrible plague that makes you bleed from your eyes and maybe some other things, a lot of humanity was wiped out, chaos, destruction, blabla.
We start with Our Heroes travelling on foot. Luke is telling them this area seems familiar, and Alex and Reggie realise they're near where Bobby's family had a cabin. They decide to veer off because Alex remembers where Bobby hid the emergency key. Not that they haven't done their fare share of breaking and entering, but it would be nice to, you know, not have to.
Also maybe they want to see if Bobby is there. Because even though they split with a lot of bad blood between them over some stolen songs, the apocalypse makes you miss old friends.
Julie and Willie are like: um excuse me that is not a cabin that is a Log Mansion. It's three fucking stories. (It also had the exact layout as my grandmother's old house, because this is my brain, which is funny because my grandmother's house was very much not a log cabin).
And then SHOCK AND GASP Bobby comes out. He has the Trevor Wilson Beard and Man Bun and is just... staring like he's seen three ghosts... and two random people he doesn't know, I guess.
There is a big sappy reunion and a big talk and apology and blabla of course they can stay. There's more cabins around the place and they've made themselves a little farming community. They trade with the other little the towns in the area, but they haven't heard much from the bigger city in the while.
"Um yeah, maybe... maybe don't go to the city," Luke says. Reggie is very pale. Willie mutters about how there was plenty of stuff that could still be looted (as long as you don't mind all the dead bodies is left unsaid).
They settle in at Bobby's house and become part of the community, finding jobs. Willie does indeed go with some of the more brave individuals to the city to search for supplies. The whole community has like one working truck because gas is hard to find these days.
Some traveling trader comes by and he's basically on a giant sled on wheels pulled by huskies and predictably Reggie loses his mind and gets to play with the doggies.
There comes a night when Reggie can't sleep, so he's the only one awake to hear the car. Two cars. A group of four with two cars is bound to mean trouble, so he wakes everyone up because there's a high chance there's raiders.
The people are breaking in and Reggie goes downstairs to greet/distract them, playing the clueless guy, welcoming them and being like 'oh hey are you lost do you need help? We're looking for a bartender if you need a job' and basically being in the way and these four people are just so confused because they broke into his house and he's so cheerful about it.
One of them was injured and Reggie more seriously offers the first aid kit and just when they were about to be like 'fuck it let's just murder him and raid the place', where comes Julie and Luke with the shot guns. Meanwhile Alex, Willie, and Bobby were checking out their cars and alerting the neighbours about trouble and OH SHIT ONE OF THEM IS BLEEDING FROM THE EYES HE'S INFECTED.
Cue fuzzy chaotic time jump because I woke up with a dry mouth lol.
For some reason Bobby disappeared from the dream after this so maybe poor Bobbers got shot in the show down with the raiders. Or got hit by the car of the other three fleeing, leaving behind their infected friend.
The gang stays in Bobby's house, though, and slowly, Juke and Willex drift together. When they were travelling, they usually all slept together, but now...
Reggie, who is still grieving Bobby, and maybe blaming himself because he wasn't good enough at distracting the raiders, sees the other two couples drift together and decides to stay out of their way. He can't sleep anyway, since he was the only one awake to catch the raiders in the first place.
So he starts sleeping less, and less, spending less time with his friends because he wanted them to have time together... Pining because he's secretly a little in love with all of them, but they clearly don't want him.
Until he was suuuper stoked because he found a puppy. It was so cute, and he wants to show his friends, and they're so freaked out because Reggie, there is no puppy...
Turns out Reggie was hallucinating from lack of sleep, and he's so confused because he's CLEARLY HOLDING A PUPPY WHAT DO YOU MEAN and then the whole thing kind of comes out and not only is Reggie heartbroken when the hallucination shatters and vanishes, but he also confesses how he's in love them with but they clearly chose their partners and not him.
And both Juke and Willex are like: we've missed you, doofus, we love you, we didn't want to make you chose between us, we were scared you were mad at us for both flirting with you.
And they all live as happily ever after as you can in the post-apocalypse.

Pretty boy
Tumblr media
Regulus Black x fem!Reader
My boyfriend Regulus and I were currently in my bedroom, cuddling and listening to 'forget her' by Jeff Buckley. I was laying down on my back, slightly propped up against my pillows as Regulus layed in between my legs, the back of his head resting against my chest.
We were a little less than halfway into the song when I felt something buzz. I pulled my phone out of my pocket, curious to see whom the notifications were from. But before I could turn my phone on, I felt Regulus reaching over and taking the device out of my hand. "Darling, no phones," he said, gently tossing it to the side, and flipping over so that he could bury his head into my stomach. His action making me erupt with laughter, since I was ticklish there.
He grabbed my hand, directing it towards his hair, forcing me to massage his scalp. Once he realized I wasn't moving my hand, he started whining, "Baby please," he said, trying his best to give me puppy dog eyes, hoping I would cave in. And I did.
I playfully rolled my eyes, gently moving my fingers once again, slowly tangling them more and more into his hair, causing him to let out a sigh of satisfaction.
After massaging his head for around 30 minutes, my movements slowly started to come to a halt as I started to direct my attention to the music, making him let out a sigh. After a while I started to become completely invested into the lyrics, acting as if I hadn't heard this song hundreds of times before, when I heard Regulus' stomach rumble, conveying that he was hungry. "Are you hungry?" I asked, making sure he actually was.
He quickly nods his head, yawning, before burying his head deeper into my stomach, tightening the grip that he had on my waist. After a while of cuddling, I felt his stomach rumble once again. "Baby, if you're hungry, you're going to have to let go of me," I laughed, pressing little kisses all over his scalp, causing him to whine.
Letting out a groan, he rolled over to my side, pulling the duvet up to his chin. "can I stay here? I'm comfortable," he said, his tiredness evident in his eyes. 
"Okay baby," I said, getting up to leave when I felt Regulus' hand grip onto my arm, tugging me back to him.
"wait no, please don't leave me. I'll just eat tomorrow," he said, letting out another yawn.
"Okay love," I replied, reaching over to my side table, turning off the lights and music, wanting to get some sleep too.
"Good night, my pretty boy," I said, getting comfortable before closing my eyes.  
Not even a minute later, my eyes opened up once again, upon hearing Reggie shuffling and reaching over to turn his side lamp on. "Wait, what did you call me?" He asked, now sitting up.
Letting out a groan, I sat up as well, smiling once I saw a faint blush appear on his cheeks. "what? Pretty boy?" I asked, confused.
"Mhm," he replied, laying down on his stomach and burying his head into the pillow.
"Can you say it again, please?" He asked, but it came out slightly muffled due to the fact that his face was currently buried in a pillow. 
"Okay, Pretty boy," I said, now smirking at the effect I had on him.
"One more time. Please?" he pleaded.
"Reggie, you're my pretty boy,"
He lets out an annoyed groan, "I hate when you call me Reggie," he whined, now sitting up so that he could turn off the lights, shifting so he could rest the side of his head in the crook of my neck.
"Night n/n, I love you,"
"I love you too,

Hii!!
Sinclair brothers react about it's time to wake up but S/O don't want to get up just want to stay in bed and sleep
Thank you and have a good day!!!❤️
Hewo, friend! Thank your for the request :3
I'm also going to add Reggie and Brahms, too.
Slashers with an s/o that doesn't want to leave bed.
Bo: Snuggles
Tumblr media
"Darlin', I know ya hate mornin's but ya need to let go of my arm," he drawls, tapping your shoulder to let go. "I got things to do, an' I need your help wit' puttin' up a new welcome sign."
Y/n's hand takes Bo's arm and pulls it back into their grasp. They sigh tiredly and drift back to sleep. Bo just signs and lays back down with them and nuzzles into their chest. "Okay, honey. Twenty more minutes an' we move."
Bo said this about two hours ago. Now, he and his s/o are snuggled under the covers once more, Bo kissing their head and hands. Maybe it's a good idea to take the morning off.
Vincent: Works anyways
Tumblr media
He knows you don't get up right away, and he's okay with that. Vincent is already dressed and working on his art when you stumble out of the little bedroom off the side of the basement and lean against him. Vincent knows you stay up late sometimes with your own work, but he just wants your to feel well rested with everything. He looked over as you rest your head on his shoulder. Both of you listen to the opera music play as you watch him work with his hands.
He puts his tools down and pats his lap, motioning for you to sit. You do, and he holds your waist as you play with his hair.
"Sorry I slept in later," you whispered, sleep still hanging in your voice.
He shakes his head as he starts rubbing your back. At least you're somewhat awake for him to give you some loving by kissing your hand and cheek, his lone eye admiring your sleepy-filled eyes.
Lester: Passenger Royalty
Tumblr media
He was able to wiggle out of your grasp and get dressed to leave for work. He normally leaves before the sun comes up, so he knows you won't be awake. Today is different, however.
Lester wakes you up with kisses and nudging your gently like a puppy. "Sweet pea? Do ya wanna wake up?"
"No," you murmur as you started back to sleep.
He raises a brow and kisses your forehead. "How 'bout ya come wit' me today? If we leave now, we can get that fast food breakfast ya lik'?" He kisses you again. "An' Starbucks from the next town over? Headin' 'at way anyhow 'cause I gotta report from the sheriff two deer down."
You think it over. "C'n I be in my fuzzy pants all day? And not leave the truck?" You asked, blinking some sleep away.
"Be my passenger royalty, darlin'," he conformed. "Deal?"
You smile sleepily and kiss him sleepily. "Grab my blanket and pillow, too. I might sleep."
Brahms: The Nervous
Tumblr media
Brahms gets scared when y/n doesn't get up at their normal time. He moves from his room and goes through the wall tunnels to find them still in their bed with the covers over their head. He saw this once when he was younger when someone was sick and dying.
Brahms comes to y/n's side of the bed and shakes them slightly. "Wake up," he whispers. "Please, wake up? Get up?" His child voice fills the dusty air as his nerves take over. "Why aren't you getting up?"
Y/n stirs and parts their eyes. Without saying anything, they pulls Brahms into their chest and lay them back down in bed.
"Y/n sick?" Brahms ask.
"No," they answer as they start going back to sleep. "Just a lazy day." Y/n looks down at Brahms and carefully takes off his mask to steal a kiss. "Does Brahms wanna join y/n on this lazy day?"
Even though it doesn't go in his normal schedule, Brahms nods and snuggles into their arms, sighing softly. They should have more lazy days.
Reggie: Comes back and Joins
Tumblr media
Reggie wakes up and kisses your forehead. You normally wake up with him, but he noticed that you were extra tired today from last night's date. He smiled in your hair and kisses you once more, causing you to follow his lips to kiss him back.
"Go'morning, honeydew," he says lightly. "I gots some deliveries ta do. Promise 'll be back by lunch."
"Bring food?" You murmur, kissing his arm. "Please?"
He smiles and rests his head against yours. "Reckon so, beauty." HE looks at the clock then back at you. "I promise ta bring bac' sum burgers and curly fries from 'at dinner yous like." Reggie squeezes your head the sits up to leave.
When he comes back and sees you still in bed, he'll smile and place the bags on the counter. He takes off his boots and hands his hat before climbing in bed and pulls you into his chest, kissing your head. Soon, he joins you and drifts back to sleep, holding you close.

24 Promots til Christmas: Day 17
“Ugly Sweater” (Jegulus)
“No. Absolutely not.” Regulus shakes his head and crosses his arms. He will not be wearing something so ugly and atrocious— something that’s such an eyesore.
“Baby, please.” James pouts. “Everyone else will be wearing them.”
“I said no, James.” Regulus scowls.
“But our sweaters would even match, Reggie. You only have to wear it this one time for the Christmas party, and that’s it,” James says. “Please, Regulus. Just this once for me?” He pleads, giving his best puppy eyes.
Regulus is silent, and James thinks he’s not going to agree until he sighs and his shoulders sag. “Okay, Jamie, but just this once.”
James laughs, wrapping him in a hug, and kisses his boyfriend’s cheek. “Thank you, love!”
After Regulus pulls the sweater over his head, he looks at himself in the mirror. There’s a reindeer puking up candy canes and chocolates on his bright green sweater. James has the same sweater, but in bright, obnoxious red. “James, this is quite literally the more hideous sweater I have ever seen.”
The raven haired man chuckles. “That’s the point, sweetheart.”

•Reggie is a fast walker.
• James is a hot tea kinda person, Reggie is a coffee person (just like Sirius)
• While James is often warm and walks around shirtless, Reggie is always cold and will use James as his personal heat radiator. Shoving his cold fingers up his sleeves or under his shirt. James notices when he's cold and will hug him tight, wrapping him in blankets.
• Low blood pressure Reggie. He gets dizzy easily.
• James has a thing for technical whimsical handicraft, esp. with wood. He'll build tiny book nooks, filigree figurines, beautifully painted. In their house, he'll have a little workshop and Reggie loves to watch him work.

•Reggie is the gifted burnt out art child really...
• Reggie knows how to convince James: He calls him Jamie, sad puppy eyes, then a dramatic sigh. James knows what he's doing but it works...

Hey!! Hope you are doing well) I saw that you are taking in requests for marauders fics and I was wondering if you could possibly write a Regulus Black x reader fic with numbers 4,14. (She/her pronouns) but the name can be blank or whatever you like, or if you really need one I can come up with something ❤️ Perhaps the story could be something on the lines of Reg getting jealous over his best girl friend who he is in love with, maybe Sirius is hitting on her or something like that. But honestly anything would be amazing to read ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much in advance, even if you just read this and not write anything. Hope you have a lovely evening)
Tumblr media
Hello, love. Thank you for the request! I am doing well yes, thanks for asking. I have to say I already like your energy just from this request lmao. I really like the request actually, so this is what I managed to make of it.
Tumblr media
Looking for his best friend, Regulus glanced around the corridor. He found her, but he wasn’t happy when he did. She was leaning against the wall with her back and Sirius was talking to her, obviously flirting and acting cool.
Y/n didn’t mind the flirting really. She didn’t like Sirius, having more interest in his brother, but she let him talk, not wanting to come of as rude.
“You look rather beautiful, might I say, I don’t know why we never talk actually, it’s a shame really.” He winked and she smiled.
Someone cleared their throat and they looked up to find Regulus with an unamused look on his face. “Ah, little brother, good to see you.” He said with a grin and Y/n gave her best friend a happy smile and he gave her the ghost of a smile back, which went unnoticed by Sirius.
“Y/n, may I introduce you to my younger brother, Regulus. Regulus, this is Y/n, you might have her in a few classes.” He spoke and the two exchanged glances.
“Yeah, I know her, she’s my best friend, not like you’d ever notice.” Regulus snarled and Sirius raised his eyebrows slightly. “Oh, don’t be acting mad now, I didn’t know, I never see you two together, are you sure you want to hang out with him, love?” Sirius grinned at the girl who gave him a now irritated look.
“Hey, don’t call her that, only I can call her that.” Regulus said with warning in his voice and and a wicked grin spread across Sirius’ face. “Oh, getting possessive now, Reggie?” Sirius asked. “I didn’t know she was your girlfriend.” He winked at the girl who rolled her eyes.
“She’s not my girlfriend.” Regulus said narrowing his eyes at his brother. “Oh, she’s not? I have a chance then?” He put an arm around the girls shoulder, making Regulus see red with anger but she just shoved him off and walked over to Regulus.
“You think you can run that pretty mouth of yours whenever you want?” She asked bitterly. “You really think every girl will just fall for you like a love struck puppy?” She continued and Sirius seemed surprised and didn’t answer.
“Oh, so now you have nothing to say? Have you never been told no?” She asked and he mumbled something, tripping over his words and and she let out a huff. “Pathetic really.” She said and then grabbed Regs hand and walked past the boy.
“He is such a dick.” Regulus said when they where in his dorm. “Though you did humble him really fast.” He said and she smirked. “That’s my specialty.”
“You did seem to enjoy yourself before I came, though.” Regulus said, jealousy lacing his voice. “Well be was really nice before you came.” Y/n said, not noticing the jealousy at all.
“He was?” Regulus asked and she nodded. “Yeah, asking me about my favourite subject and suggesting to study together sometime.” She babbled and Regulus’ features hardened, knowing Sirius was not planning for homework at all.
“And what did you say?” He asked. “Oh I told him I’d like to do homework with him sometime, he then told me I was beautiful and then you came.” She explained further. “You actually planned on doing homework with him?” Regulus asked bitterly and she grinned slightly.
“Obviously not,” she said. “I just thought it’d be hilarious when he’d ask again in front of his friends to show off and I refused.” She said and Regulus huffed out an amused laugh.
“Besides, while would I go do ‘homework’ with Sirius, when you are much more interesting.” She said and Regulus’ face flushed. “I’m sorry?” He asked bewildered.
“You heard me.” She grinned and he spluttered a bit. “You are easy to fluster, just like your brother.” She laughed and he raised his eyebrows. “Are you making fun of me?” He asked and a grin formed on her face.
He walked over to her, as she still sat on the bed. He proceeded to tilt her chin with his fingers, making her look up at him and her face heated up as she quickly looked away. “Who’s flustered now, love?” He teased and she cursed under her breath.
“Hey, look at me.” He said and she did, her cheeks tinted with red as she looked up at him with doe eyes. He then leaned down and kissed her. She was surprised but kissed him back anyway, having waited for over a year to do that.
About a week later, the two walked trough the halls together when they saw Sirius coming their way with his friends. Regulus grinned, snaked an arm around his girlfriends waist and pressed a kiss on her temple, just out of spite.

Tiny steps
(James Potter / Regulus Black | 806 words)
For @jegulus-microfic prompt: Table
“Please.” James is looking at him with those puppy eyes that are really hard to resist. Not that Regulus is not trying. “I wanna see.”
“Stop whining, this blackmail is not gonna work.”
“But you saw Prongs,” James whines again. Ever since James found out Regulus is an animagus he hasn’t shut up about it.
“It’s not a big deal, James.”
James hesitates for a moment and then something victorious sparkles in his eyes. “You know, Reggie, I’m surprised. This is not very Slytherin of you. I thought you would be proud of what you achieved but maybe it’s that easy that everyone can do it. I mean I did.”
“It is not easy!” Regulus hisses and he knows he walked himself into that trap the second the words leave his mouth.
“So why don’t you show me?”
Regulus breathes out. Why can’t James just let things go. “He doesn’t like being around people,” Regulus admits truthfully.
This makes James to pause. “Oh, but… he would like me, wouldn’t he?”
“I’m not sure.”
“Why?” James asks sadly. Regulus walks towards James’ bed to stand between his legs. He softly cradles through the boy’s black curls and smiles at the feeling of James leaning to the touch.
“There are instincts in you, that you can control when you are human. But when you are an animal, your thoughts are not that clear.”
James rests his chin on Regulus' chest looking up at him. “Let me try, please.”
Regulus sights. It’s a lost battle he knows it. He kisses the top of James' head and takes a few steps back. “Don’t be disappointed if this won’t work out.”
Regulus takes a deep breath. Usually, he goes in his animagus form to the forest with no one around. He climbs the trees and digs in the ground. He has his favourite spot on the roof of one of the towers where he just lies in the sun for hours.
He feels the magic in him, the second heartbeat and shifts.
As always, the world seems a lot bigger from the perspective of a small kitten. He shakes his head to clear some fog of his brain. His head snaps to look at the source of the voice. “Reggie, you are so cute!” Before he can react, James is on his feet, taking long steps and reaching towards him.
The kitten squeaks and in a second it’s hiding behind the leg of the table. “Oh, Reg I’m sorry,” James says as he sits on the ground in front of the table. Regulus pushes through the kitten's instincts. He doesn’t want James to think he doesn’t like him. It feels better when the boy is sitting down. “I won’t be loud again, I promise.”
Regulus meows softly. He can see James biting his lip to stay quiet. He slowly walks around the table, his paws silent against the rug. He stops a few feet from the boy holding very still. James smiles at him as he whispers “Hello.”
He lifts his hand to touch him. Regulus fights the kitten again keeping it stay at the same spot. He digs his claws into the rug. He won’t run. He can’t, but hell he wants to. He can hear the fearful whine grumble in the kitten’s chest, his paws trembling. James snatches his hand away and the kitten flinches at the sudden movements.
They both hold very still as James clearly works something out in his mind. The kitten relaxes a little bit. “Oh, you are afraid of hands,” James says softly as he stares at his hands like they personally offended him. “I’m sorry, love. But you know I wouldn’t hurt you, right?” Regulus nods because he knows that. It’s James. “But instincts…” James whispers more to himself in understanding.
Before Regulus can do anything else James is moving again. He lies on the floor on his stomach, his arms folded underneath his chest. “How about this? See? I won’t touch you.”
The kitten eyes him suspiciously, but without the big grabby hands, it is easier for the kitten to move. Regulus hasn’t realised that this could be the solution. He slowly approaches the boy, who patiently holds very still. He stops in front of him looking deep into those brown eyes.
“You are very beautiful,” James whispers and when the kitten just blinks in interest he continues. “I love the grey colour. Also, don’t bite me, but I can’t get over how fluffy and cute you are.”
Regulus wrinkles his nose the long whiskers flying around as James laughs. With his heightened hearing the sound completely surrounds him. It’s not deafening or threatening. No. James' laughter was always calming for Regulus. He meows happily and bumps his nose against James' glasses leaving a smudged spot.
“We got this, little one,” James promises and the kitten purrs.

────────────────────────────────────────────
Maureen smelt like cigarettes.
Usually, people make an effort to mask the scent when they come back in for a short smoke break, knowing how most people find the smell revolting, dousing themselves in cheap perfume or body spray or even take off the clothes they were wearing that the smoke latched onto. But Maureen didn’t care. She didn’t even acknowledge it.
That’s just the kind of person Maureen McNulty was.
You had to admit, it bothered you seeing Wayne so attached to a mother who clearly didn’t give a damn about her son, in fact you’ve never seen anything like it before. In the short amount of time you’ve known her, you’ve seen Wayne’s mom force a smile and laugh with him like it’d been her dream to see Wayne after so long, out of the blue despite being the one to leave him since all these years. And seeing a look of hopefulness on your boyfriends face when she told him how much she missed him made something inside of you bubble with anger, knowing that all Wayne was to her was that certain stench of smoke she couldn’t be bothered getting rid of or even spare a passing glance.
Of course, you didn’t want to break Wayne’s spirits. After all, it was the first time in a long time Wayne had something else besides you to live for. He had his friend Orlando, sure, but Orlando wasn’t considered family. He was just someone Wayne bad to protect.
You fall under that category as well, but on a more intimate level. This was the first time though, that Wayne could be protected—comforted—by someone else. He could finally take shelter and relax in the arms of his mother, family he had been deprived of for so long.
But how could you relax seeing all the false, squinted smiles that told lies of ‘i love you’ and ‘i want you to stay here forever’, even taking it as far as showing him baby pictures of himself that Maureen had conveniently kept but ‘accidentally’ hidden away.
It didn’t help that you had overheard Maureen one day talking to her husband, who seemed to be frustrated with the sudden two additions in his household. You could hear the way his loud, angry voice, echoed throughout the halls and since it was only you three home and Wayne and Reggie were out ‘bonding’, you heard everything very clearly.
You almost wish you didn’t.
“Ok! Fine! You know what! Yeah, he’s a little annoying and clingy and following me around everywhere, but he was like that when he was a kid! Give him a damn break!” You heard her say, followed by a large clattering noise from her husband knocking his fist into the wall causing a painting to tumble down.
“I don’t care if you think he’s your little fuckin’ baby, Maureen! He’s not my son and I don’t want anyone getting the wrong idea! I want him out of my house as soon as possible, otherwise I’m just going to throw him on the street along with his skanky girlfriend too!”
“Don’t you call my son’s girlfriend a skank!” You liked that she defended you, “But, you’re right. I can’t have my past follow me around like some puppy dog. It’s not right. I just…give me time to break the news to him gently. I’ll tell him to back his bags. He’ll be gone real soon, babe.”
And that was it. Then Wayne and Reggie came home and Maureen pretended to act normal again, flying above Wayne’s radar and tricking him into thinking he can stay with his mom. It didn’t even matter if Maureen opened her arms to both you and Wayne and let you both inside of her home, because to you, it didn’t matter at all if all she was going to do was go back on her word and make you guys leave, breaking Wayne’s heart all over again. What also hurt was that Maureen was nothing like Wayne; She was actually fun, well spirited, unlike Wayne who barley spoke two words to her when he saw her again, while she spoke novels. It was interesting seeing the two interact, but it didn’t change the fact that none of it was real.
You just had to tell him what he failed to see. And you were going to do it tonight.
When the time came, you could hardly ignore the rapid beating pounding inside of your chest. The whole time you stood there, waiting for everyone to go outside or leave the house was spent pondering over every single thought in your head, debating on if this was truly a good idea and rehearsing what you wanted to say to him. Telling Wayne straight up that his mom didn’t love him and actually just wanted him out was completely out of the picture, so you had to lay it down slowly and sugar coat the hell out of it and pray he’d understand.
When everyone finally leaves, Maureen’s husband outside in their garage, Reggie out with friends, and Maureen smoking a pack outside by a bonfire, you tug your boyfriend back into the dining room and sit him down across from you. Wayne, who appears to be already over the moon from having a private conversation with you, smiles curiously at what you have to say, batting his eyes at you curiously when you just stare at him saying nothing.
“Wayne I have to tell you something.” You start off easy, folding your hands onto the table and looking anywhere but his eyes, “It’s...it’s kind of hard for me to do this, but. I think I should really tell you.”
Wayne’s eyes don’t leave yours for a second, giving you his full attention with that same hopeful smile he’s had all week. That only makes it harder for you to get your words out, and unfortunately, they do.
“Wayne, I don’t think your mom is who she says she is.” You hold onto your thighs and look up at your boyfriend through your lashes.
It takes a moment for him to process the statement in his head, but it doesn’t register. He looks up with a confused expression, with one of his eyebrows arched and squinted eyes, “She’s not my mom?”
“No, Wayne, she is your mom,” You laugh a bit, feeling a weight lift from your shoulders with his innocent question, “But I don’t think she’s as…perfect, or even motherly like you think she is. I mean, you’ve seen how she raised Reggie.”
“Reggie has a shit father, Y/n, I’d blame that more on him than my mom.” Wayne points out, “And yeah, my mom’s not going to be perfect, no moms are. But, she’s trying her hardest, and I got to see her, so I think that’s good.”
He wasn’t getting it.
You let out a short sigh and scoot closer to him, gently moving your hand to the center of the table where you could comfortably meet halfway and hold his hands. “Wayne, It’s not about her being a good mom or not.” You say gently, “It’s more about her not...wanting to be a mom to you.”
“That’s crazy, Y/n. I’m her son. I was here first. That don’t make no sense.” Wayne shakes his head and laughs under his breath.
“I know, I know baby. But I heard her talking, when you and Reggie were out. She was in the other room, and well,” Your shoulders fall, “She said she didn’t...she didn’t think it was a wise decision to keep past...personal assets in her...new life...” That was the best way you could put such horrible news. In a way, you understood the feelings Wayne must be going through; No child would want to be told from someone that their mom was talking shit behind their back, especially when that mom left them when they were just a kid and left no explanation saying why or even bothering to leave behind some lame excuse. To your knowledge, Maureen never told Wayne she was going to grab some milk and be right back, instead she just left one day and never returned.
The more you tried to spell it out for him though, the more confused he got. You were already dancing around the issue and trying to sugar coat it as best as you could, but his expression tells it all: he has no clue of what you’re trying to say. Wayne wrinkles his brows in utter confusion and stares at you, his smile fading away the more you stammer on.
“Look, Wayne. When you were gone, I heard her talking to her husband, he was all mad and whatever that we were staying here.”
“So? We’ll just move near by, my mom probably knows a place we can crash and we’d be out of his hair.”
Your back stiffens, “N-No, Wayne, he doesn’t want us—you—here, period. I’m not family, and I’ll have to go back some time. He knows that, and so do you. But I’m talking about you and your mom.”
Wayne re-positions his hands separately from yours and clasps them together tightly, rubbing his calloused thumbs over each other in thought. “What, uh. What else did he say?” His watchful eyes crawl back up to yours.
“He said that you’re not his son, and your mom agreed, and therefore he doesn’t want you in his house.” You look down nervously. If there was one thing you knew about Wayne, it would be that he talks a lot, just not in words. When Wayne holds a conversation, he doesn’t speak all too much, instead he pays attention to the person talking, mimicking their movements, and using body language to talk—hands to express his levels of comfort, eye contact to silently communicate, and his posture to dictate his attention—you can tell what he’s thinking just by looking at him. The body tells a lot of secrets the mouth won’t, but it was no secret that Wayne hated this conversation.
He hated everything about thinking his mom isn’t who she says she is or how his 5-year old mind remembers her. Instead of the woman who brought him toys and taught him how to read and decipher shapes, who cooked him and his father meals especially warm tomato soup on rainy days, your words were practically shredding that woman down to someone who doesn’t care one bit about him, who would and did leave him because she couldn’t care less. But Wayne tries his best not to show it all too much.
“What else?” He drums his fingers on top of the table and glances down too.
“She told him, she doesn’t want her past following her around like some...” Your lip curls, knowing what’s coming next would utterly destroy him, “...some sad puppy dog.” and it does.
Wayne feels your shoe turn and nudge him when he goes silent for too long, his body voided of any kind of language and instead replaced by nothing at all, but he doesn’t react. How could his own mother, he thought, think of him as some helpless dog when he did everything to hell and back to try and find something so dear to him? He rolls his head forward and allows the shadows of the flickering light above trace over his nose and forehead.
“Wayne..?” You say softly, softer than you ever have before. You fear that the slightest bit of volume could send him destroying everything around him, knowing that’s all he wants to do right now. The static in Wayne’s mind suddenly starts to fizz, jumping from a background noise right to all he can hear. The sound fills his ears and it fills his ears fast, leaving him no time to think.
“No.” Wayne shakes his head, “You don’t know what you’re talking about, Y/n. My mom wouldn’t do that to me, she wouldn’t say that to nobody. Not her kid, especially not me. She wouldn’t compare me to no dog. Why’d you say that..?”
Suddenly, your words were stolen from you. Was he really shifting the blame onto you? There was some misunderstanding. “No, that’s not it,” You lurch forward and try to catch his wrists to assure him you’re telling the truth, but he rips them away from you before you get the chance, “Wayne, I’m not lying to you. I heard how she talked about you.”
“Yeah, well clearly you didn’t hear right!” Wayne shouts. His abrupt change in tone makes you jump right back into your seat, eyes wide from how easy it was to yell at you, and it even shakes the table. Or maybe that was because of how hard he was gripping it in that moment. Still, you look at Wayne in shock, fear, and some lingering taste in the back of your tongue of anger.
“What are you talking about?! Wayne, I heard her say that shit! Why would I fucking lie about that?”
Wayne shrugs harshly, “I dunno, maybe you wanna like, split us up or somethin’? I don’t know! I do know that my mom wouldn’t call me a damn dog, following her around.”
“You might not want to believe it, but that’s what she said. I’m saving you from a whole world of pain, Wayne. Imagine if she was the one to tell you? You’d believe her since it was coming out of her mouth, so why is it so different when I tell you out of mine?!” His words hit you like a truck right into your chest. You wanted to defend yourself and explain to him that the truth was evident, but Wayne just keeps shoving.
“You don’t know my mom, ok?”
“And you do?! You didn’t even know why she left you until she came up with some lame excuse so you wouldn’t keep pressing her for answers!”
Wayne stands up and balls his fists tightly. If there was anything distracting himself from the pain splitting his heart in two, it was the biting sensation of his nails digging crescents into his already scarred palm. “What? You think you know her just by lookin’ at her? You’ve only known her for a couple days, but I’ve been here with her, in a photo album or a wallet—she knows about me! She understands me, and I’m happy to be here with her. Why is that so hard for you to understand, Y/n?”
There’s a pause, a moments of hesitation, before you speak. In that moment, you stare at the way Wayne’s chest falls heavily, heaving with guilt and burden, knowing as much as his anger consumes him, the last thing he wants to do is yell at you. Your eyes flicker away from his for a second, catching a glimpse of all the photos and picture frames hanging on the walls of Maureen, her husband, and Reggie. Reggie’s baby pictures, her and her husband out on an anniversary date wrangling gators, Reggie grinning ear to ear holding up a gold club and soon after, a beer. Your eyes scan over all the memories this family has where they seem so well put together, one would even say, happy and loving.
Maureen was there, sure, displaying her crafts and small businesses she’s worked on over the years, and her husband was always in a picture with his eyes red because of the flash and holding something up to show, and then there was Reggie. There was nothing of Wayne. Not even a small picture on the fridge.
Wayne said that his photos were locked away, secret, but all that told you was that Maureen was ashamed of her past, and even more ashamed of him. If Wayne failed to see that, there was nothing more you could do. You had already lost to her.
Maybe you’d wish you hadn’t brought it up, or somehow made Maureen tell him himself so this didn’t make you seem like a liar trying to tear Wayne apart from his mom. You only wanted to let him know. Your eyes return back to him, and shamefully, you give him a half-hearted smile. “What I understand, Wayne, is that she’s not ready to be your mother. And frankly, I don’t think she ever was, and that’s why she left you. You’re holding onto something that doesn’t want to be held onto.”
Wayne falls silent. “Then I don’t think I want to be the one to hold onto you anymore.”
Your head flips back up, your brows furrowing. Now more than ever, it felt like your world seemed to shatter right beneath your feet. Those few words stung like burning needles stabbing right into your gut as the wind in your lungs struggles to escape, leaving your chest constricted and heart fully broken beyond repair.
You wanted to have misheard. You wanted him to regret what he said and quickly apologize. Like he always does, he always fixes it. But this time, Wayne doesn’t even turn his head up to look at you. Instead he keeps his eyes fixated on his hands, mindlessly picking at the skin around his nails.
You swallow, hard, and attempt to speak, but nothing comes out. You try to open your mouth more, but it snaps shut. There’s nothing you can say or do that will change his mind, so what was even worth defending? Your dignity was long gone when you first sat down with him, and it feels like there’s no love for you inside of Wayne’s heart, but you still hold on the best you can.
Even your strength can’t hold back the tears that eventually spill from your eyes though, and soon enough, streams of hot tears come barreling down the sides of your face, seemingly endlessly. You bring your sleeve up to your face and start hastily dabbing away your tears, blotting softly at first but quickly bashing your fists into your eyes to get them to stop.
Wayne’s ears perk up when he hears you sniffle, but he doesn’t look over. Even when he doesn’t speak, he still says a lot, and his silence was all you needed to realize that Wayne McCullough had chosen who he wants to be around and to spend his time with, and that person was not you.
Even if it meant leaving you behind, Wayne’s mind was set. He couldn’t change the past, but he was hopeful for the future, and if there was any ounce of changing that, then Wayne held on. It just meant that you were something that he couldn’t keep as well.
Despite everything, Wayne doesn’t bother looking up, he doesn’t even spare a passing glance. He ignores you. He ignores the tears now rushing from your eyes and spilling onto the only clothes you had on your back. He ignores all of those times where you’d saved him and he’d saved you, running from the cops and any authoritative figure to escape into a fleeting feeling of freedom. He doesn’t even acknowledge it.
He doesn’t have to tell you what to do next. Him not looking at you was more than he needed to say, and before you knew it, your bag filled with missing things was over your shoulder, and you, halfway out the door. Wayne still remains in the same position, back turned to where you had left him, only now he was facing you as you left. Dark eyes stick onto your teary-eyed expression like magnets stuck to their piece, but no words are exchanged.
For a moment, you see his hands twitch from his sides, but he stops moving all together. Now you were certain. If you left or not, Wayne would still go back to his mom. Even if she had left him all those years ago, she was stuck to him and he didn’t want to get rid of her or even see how much she’s hurting him.
In the end, you couldn’t change his mind after all.

regulus and a puppy kink!!! regulus and a puppy kink!!! (like the nickname!!)
he's so very annoyed at you, you're distracting him while he's busy and he ends up dragging you to his room wanting to shut you up. as soon as you enter the room he roughly pushes you on the bed and pulls your hair, causing you to whimper, making you arch your back in the process. "that hurts reggie," you whine, causing him to pull harder.
he wraps his arm around you and brings your back against his front. "puppy's don't talk they bark," he murmurs in your ear and grabs hold of your hip tightly, definitely leaving bruises in his wake. he places a kiss on your shoulder and you gasp, "does puppy like that?" he teases, you can practically hear the smirk in his voice.
regulus flips you around again so you're on your back. when you make eye contact he smiles softly at you, momentarily dropping the dominance. "fuck you're pretty," he whispers to himself before kissing your jaw and tilting your chin up to make eye contact with him again. he trails his hands over your body and pulls your tshirt up, he lightly pinches your nipples over your bralette, you bite your lip and thrust your hips up. he holds your hips down with his other hand to stop you moving again. "want more puppy?" regulus coos at you, smirking as he sees you try to move again.
you nod your head in hopes that he'll give you more. he hums and kisses you again before moving to take off your shirt. "be a good girl for me and help me take this off, be a good puppy." heat rises to your cheeks.

These two pictures tell quite the story.
(Aside from my photography skill glow up.)
At first FrogDad was like, "I don't want a dog. I'm not helping take care of it. You all have to play with it. Leave me out of it."
Then he saw those big brown eyes and those oversized puppy paws and those floppy ears and he was all, "He is pretty cute, isn't he?"
Tumblr media
Resistance is futile.
Slowly but surely, Dad started volunteering to take him for walks with the riding mower.
Tumblr media
They'd drive all around the yard, making sure to stop at interesting sniffing zones.
Tumblr media
Then he started throwing Otis's fox for him to fetch.
Tumblr media
Then Otis started falling asleep on Dad's lap in the recliner.
Tumblr media
And suddenly... *MY* dog loved HIM more than ME.
Tumblr media
But I knew that would happen.
It was my evil plan all along.
My dad has that Steve Irwin spirit inside him. Animals are just magnetically drawn to him. Every single dog we've had ended up being Dad's best friend. I never minded because it was always so cute.
I remember one time we went to my friend Amanda's cool 100-year-old 3-story house for a tour. She had a very nervous cat that always hid whenever visitors arrived. Amanda promised she had a cat, but I wouldn't see her while I was there because of her ninja-like hiding skills. My dad couldn't do all the steps so he just sat on the couch while we checked out the domicile.
We went through all 3 floors of this ancient house and spent time in every room--no sign of any kitty. After an hour the tour ended and we descended to the living room where my father had been sitting.
There was ninja kitty... purring on Dad's lap.
Totally contented from the expert scritches only he could provide.
My friend yelled, "Are you frickin' serious right now? She doesn't even sit on *my* lap!"
Perhaps my dad missed his calling. Instead of an auto mechanic, he should have had a show on Animal Planet.
A game show called "Does Your Pet *Really* Love You?"
You would bring my dad your pet and see who the animal will love more after 30 minutes. If your pooch or puss can resist the FrogDad charms you win a nice prize.
I've always said I don't believe in heaven but I *do* believe in dog heaven.
It is my hope FrogDad gets special permission to go there and hang with Otis, MacGyver, Reggie, and Buttons.
All the dogs he didn't want... until he did.

Morning Ice Skating
masterlist
pairing: regulus black x female reader
warnings: fluff, one kiss (a peck), reggie being a child
summary: during your yule break, you take regulus along with you to go ice skating
a/n: i timmy so much, i can't-
song: beautiful boy - john lennon
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Shut that bloody alarm," Regulus groans, reaching over you to stop the blaring sound.
He hits snooze and drifts back to sleep, his arm wrapped around you, and a warm thick blanket covering you both.
You lazily sit up and rub your eyes. You had planned to go ice skating today, so you wanted to get up to have the morning sun to enjoy.
As you go to move out of Regulus' grasp, he tightens his grip on your waist.
"Where are you going, my love?"
"To go ice skating," you say kissing his forehead.
"Why? Stay in bed and cuddle with me, I need affection," he whines like a child.
"You had plenty of affection last night," you grin as his face flushes.
"Hush," he says sitting up.
"I'm going to get ready now, you could stay in bed if you want... or you could come with me," you suggest.
"Nope, absolutely not. Do you not recall what happened the last time we went? I had the bruises on my legs for days," he rolls his eyes.
"Pfft, that's only because it was your first time. I'm sure you'll be much better this time. Can you come with me, please," you give him your puppy dog eyes. He gives in, only because he can't say no to you when you do that.
"Fine. But if I fall, I am coming straight back and going to sleep again... after I throw some snowballs at you," he huffs.
"Deal," you nod with a grin. You get out of bed and drag him along with you. The two of you change into warmer clothes and you put your hair back. You both brush your teeth and grab the new ice skates you bought for him and you.
Tumblr media
You walk out towards the frozen lake. Because it's early and the sun is still rising, you guys are the only ones there. There is a light snowfall, making the scene around you even more beautiful. You always loved snow, when it was snowing you liked to think of the world as a snow globe.
"Okay, are you ready?" Regulus looks at you and hesitantly nods.
"Great, grab my hand and we will go slow"
"Hm, okay, please don't let go," he begs as he nervously steps onto the ice with you.
"I promise I won't," you reassured him.
"Now, bend your knees a bit- good, now with your right foot..." you go on to explain how to skate in simple steps to make it easier for him to understand.
He slowly gets the hang of it and loosens his death grip on your poor hand.
"I'm going to give you a little push, and see if you can do what I told you without falling. Is that okay?"
"Yeah- um- okay... I got this," he mumbles to himself, getting a laugh out of him.
"Yes, you do," you gently push on his back and he does as he was told. He keeps repeating his movements and is slowly going around the ice on his own.
"Fabulous job, darling!"
He looks up at you and sees your bright smile, a feeling of pride takes over him. As much as he didn't want to come, seeing as last time it ended horribly, he would do anything you asked him to. Seeing you smile at him like that made everything worth it.
You skate over to him and intertwine your fingers. You talk while you slowly ease him into going faster with you around the lake.
"By the way, I forgot to mention this morning, that if you keep buying stuffed animals for the bed, they are going be either shoved in the closet or you're going to sleep on the couch," you inform him with a smile.
Every time you go to your room there are more somehow. You don't even know where he gets them from. Now they take up about half the bed and a lot of space.
"I don't think so, you wouldn't kick me out of the room"
"Oh yes. I do think so, and indeed I would," you put your finger in his face, trying your best to keep a straight face.
He gives you a mhm look, and you shake your head. "Okay," you sigh, "no I wouldn't. But some of them are going in the closet!"
He turns to you and places his hand on your cheeks that are pink from the cold air nipping at your skin.
"I love you so, so much, sweetheart. You know that right?"
You relax your face into his hand and admire him, wondering how you got to love this angel.
"And I love you so, so much, as well"
"You sure? Even with all my stuffed animals?"
"Yup, even with all of you room-taking stuffed animals," you smile pecking his lips.

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥 , 𝐫. 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤
; regulus black x ex wife!reader
Tumblr media
, he truly loves his daughter and after she was born to this earth regulus couldn't be so much more happy. She was so fragile when regulus first felt her in his arms , still covered in little blood. He felt warm and comfortable around her and he instantly thought that this beautiful human would changed him.
─ you gave birth to regulus black's daughter even tho at that same moment and time you guys aren't doing as well. You aren't even going home to the house he provided for you and the family he was expecting and dreaming for. He was there living alone but your mother told you , this child isn't only yours but to regulus' too. You agreed that you should give birth to "his" house , just for the child.
The moment you saw him holding the beautiful creature you and him made together , you can see in regulus' eyes how happy he is ─ you can't help but to tear up. Like regulus believe on himself , you thought this might be a change for regulus. This man has alot of emotional baggage that you can't handle making the relationship tough to handle together , things already ended when you were two months pregnant. He begged but you thought it was enough , your suffering is enough.
Things changed as time flies by , your daughter grew up quickly. She can walk and mumble words already ─ things changed , you find someone else and regulus respected that. Deep inside for regulus of course it hurts seeing you pick up the child from his house with your new partner that isn't him. But he needs to accept the truth and left the delusions he have whenever you spend your time at his house with your kid.
, "see darling that's a star" regulus smiled pointing at the glowing star from the ceiling "a stah ?" regulus chuckled at the words of her , he can hear the exact accent from you. "yes darling a stah !" he laughs mocking the child playfully , her also laughing ─ And you watched them from afar you were peacefully waiting for your child to sleep before going home , she won't leave because of the reason ; "i don't wanna go ba- bye mama!". She don't wanna leave his father's side.
"where's mama?" regulus whispered fixing the child's hair , the child quickly looking at you and smiled. Unexpectedly she stood up and quickly walking towards you , "mama" she mumbled holding your finger with a puppy eyes "yes my love?" you replied caressing her cheeks "mama , bed please" she was asking for you to lay in the bed with her. "Oh.." you whispered , regulus was laying there as well though he didn't ask for you to lay there , your child does. "darling , mama is there ok she won't leave" regulus assured her so you don't have to lay down near him. "Bu-but mama" she looks like she was about to cry , "it's fine reggie" you replied standing up letting the child take you to the bed.
when regulus heard the name , reggie. God his soul almost left his body not hearing that for a very long time and hearing it again made him feel alot. He felt what he felt again when you called him that for the first time ; it feels like a bucket of butterflies are setten free inside his stomach , a warm feeling covering his body.
"you should go sleep now darling.." you smiled cuddling your daughter , "you too reggie" you laughed. You knew this kid would sleep only if regulus sleep ; just like before , he would only sleep if you are already asleep. "ye-yes ma'am.." he chuckled insured what he would reply , this is the delusions he was talking about - thinking this what it feels like to have a complete family with you and it feels so so good.
"goodnight darling" regulus whispered kissing his daughter's forehead , looking at him. Insider of his mind he could've said you want one too? but he felt like if he said that and say it was a joke , it would be awkward for you. You thought , he looks so gorgeous - always been gorgeous. "Goodnight reggie." You whispered and god forbid you don't know why did you even said that. Regulus proceed to pretend he didn't heard what you said , but lord he loves you so much it brings so much joy and pain to him that he couldn't just pull you for one kiss atleast.
The moment he knew you have felled asleep , "i love you." That's all he can say. He truly loves you and this child , if he could turn back time he wished he could've fixed everything. And you truly love him aswell.

𝐈 𝐆𝐎𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔, 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐆𝐎𝐓 𝐌𝐄 - 𝐋𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍 
Tumblr media
𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐘: What is love without a few obstacles in the way. Luke finds out that Caleb put a stamp on you.
𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆(𝐒): Angst, mentions of death 
𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓: 6,838
 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆: Luke Patterson x fem!Reader 
𝐀/𝐍: I hope you guys enjoy it! :) 
𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓
Tumblr media
The boys had appeared backstage at the ghost club. They were together in Julie’s garage about to get ready for the show when Caleb showed up. Now they stood backstage. Not one of them was enjoying any second of being there. It was a lot harder on Luke because the last time he saw you, you had suddenly vanished out of the garage. Caleb taking your place and appearing on top of Julie’s piano. He told Luke that you were, “Okay…for now.” Which did not sit well with the boys. Next thing they knew Caleb blew some magic dust in their faces and they poofed out of the garage.
Now here they were, in some of the most ridiculous outfits they’ve ever worn. Luke’s collared shirt, tie and blazer were too much for the free loose style he preferred. The boys watched as Caleb came down some stairs from their left.
“Well don’t you look nice.” He smirked
“S-Sweet threads.” Reggie was surprised by the outfits they were wearing but somehow they were nice and he hated that fact he agreed even more. Caleb took a nail file and filled his nails in front of the boys.
“H-How’d you know our sizes?” Alex put his hands out.
“That’s your question!” Luke responded in annoyance as he kept pulling at his collar that did not want to loosen up. He felt so restricted and covered up he felt like he was about to snap.
“I know you boys aren’t my biggest fans, and an eternity at my club might seem overwhelming, but I just put you in sweet threads so humor me on this one last pitch. Now for starters…isn’t it nice that you’re all here together.”
Luke looked at Reggie, then at Alex.
“And believe me, everything you two want, including Willie and Y/n…is here.” He gestured to Alex and Luke. Who were confused about what they should do. Alex shifted on his feet while Luke looked over at Alex. On one hand they did not want to join the club, but you and Willie were here. The only people they wanted to be with. “And on my stage, you don’t vanish when the music stops.” Caleb approached Luke. “You soak in the applause for as long as you want. The connection that you will feel with that audience…” He adjusted Luke’s black bow tie. Luke’s thoughts were unsure. He looked like a hopeless puppy. “Will be like no other, I promise.”
Just as he finished the crowd cheered, all excited for the show that was about to start.
“Oh, shh shh. Do you hear that?” Caleb took a step back from Luke. “They’re waiting for you!” A sudden high jolt struck the boys in the chest making them bend over in pain. They groaned in agony as they got struck harder this time.
“Ooh that one looked like it hurt!” Caleb shrugged as he walked backwards towards the curtain strings. “Now let me remind you. You don’t know if playing the Orpheum is your unfinished business. Do you really have time to make that mistake? I suggest you take my offer because the clock is ticking.” Caleb reached for the glass on the tray his servant was holding for him and took a sip. “And Luke.” Luke looked up from the pain. “So is Y/n’s time.” He smirked as he set his drink back on the tray.
“What did you do to her-“ Luke groaned as another jolt struck him and the boys. They were growing stronger by the minute.
“Ouch.” Caleb furrowed his brows. Just then Caleb snapped his fingers and you suddenly appeared. However he didn’t make you reappear gently. You ended up hitting the ground with a thump. You groaned as you slowly sat up with your hands.
“Y/n!” Luke exclaimed as he rushed over to you to help you up gently.
“You know where to find me.” Caleb opened the curtain and walked onto the stage. “Ladies and gentlemen I’m back!” He exclaimed to the audience.
Once you found your balance again Luke could see a look of fear in your eyes. “Y/n?” He frowned, caressing your hairs out of your face with his hands.
“There was nothing there…” You whimpered. “I-I couldn’t see anything.” You closed your eyes, shaking your head. “It was all just pitch black.”
“What did he do to you?” Luke said it more to himself than towards you.
“Luke, you have to get back to Julie.” You looked up at him with tears in your eyes. “You have to…you can’t stay here with Caleb. It’s not everything he says it is. You have to fight it okay?” You cupped his face crying.
“What about you? I’m not leaving you here with him.” He shook his head. “You had to go through a month of losing me that night, alone. I’m not losing you this time.”
He was referring to how he had died back in 1995. You were a mess after hearing the news. You couldn’t get out of bed, you wouldn’t eat, you just didn’t want to live in a world without him. And soon tragedy followed you till your dying breath. Your car flipped. A semi had run into the drivers side after you failed to see the stop sign. Funny how things ended up now. It brought everyone you knew great loss, but it brought you back to your Luke.
“You can’t save me this time Luke.” You whispered and you took a deep breath.
“Don’t say that. We’re gonna find a way and we’ll all be back singing with Julie in no time.” He smiled softly.
“Luke’s right Y/n, we’re gonna find a way okay.” Alex spoke up. 
“No matter what.” Reggie pitched in. He smiled your way.
“No you guys don’t understand.” You shed a tear. Luke and the boys frowned.
“Don’t understand what, Y/n?”
“I can’t leave…” You broke down. “He took my soul.”
“N-No.” Luke furiously shook his head as he walked up to you again. “No he didn’t.” He chuckled, but you weren’t laughing. “No…” His voice grew quieter.
“He took Willie’s soul too.” Alex looked down at his feet.
“No that can’t be. He can’t do that.” He ran a hand through his perfectly styled hair. You noticed that it went back to being styled again. “I’m gonna kill em’!” Luke huffed angrily.
“Well technically he’s already dead…” Reggie made a noise of disagreement. Luke turned to give him a look of annoyance. “So you can’t really kill…” Reggie averted his gaze as he trailed off.
“When?” Luke looked at you with a serious expression. 
“Luke-“ You began to protest but he cut you off. “When, Y/n?” Angry Luke was not to be messed with.
“Yesterday.” You sighed. “I didn’t know what he wanted to talk to me about. He said that he wanted me to pass you guys a message. He told me he wanted to invite you guys to another show.” You scoffed remembering, you hated yourself for falling for his lies. For falling into Caleb’s trap. “Nothing felt wrong at the time. He showed me the perks of being able to do tricks, he said he could grant me my deepest desires with the snap of his fingers!” You made emphasized gestures with your hands to demonstrate how much Caleb made it seem like this big luxurious thing. “It seemed silly at the time but that didn’t turn out to be the case…” You cried “I-I didn’t think the stamp would be harmless.” You sniffled as you pulled back your sleeve to reveal the purple stamp. Luke’s heart ached at the sight of the purple mark printed on your wrist. He knew all too well about that stamp and what its actual purpose was now. “I’m such an idiot.” “You’re not.” Luke held your hand. 
“He tricked you, Y/n. All of us. Besides you were just being your trusting self like you always are.” Luke smiled sadly. “He took advantage of that. He was wrong to do that.” He pulled you into a hug. “We’re gonna get your soul back Y/n, I promise.” He pressed a kiss to your temple.
“How?” You gripped him tightly.
“We’ll find a way.” He dug his face into your neck. 
“Yeah!” Alex and Reggie chimed in.
“Everything’s gonna be fine, Y/n.” Reggie offered reassurance. Even if he was scared himself. “I’m scared guys, what if something happens to m-“ You suddenly vanished from Luke’s arms. He tried grasping the air of empty space. His hands wrapped around nothing. You were no longer there. Confused and scared he turned to look at the boys.
“W-Where’d she go??” He whipped his head around multiple times. Trying to catch a glimpse of you around the room. You were gone. Caleb let the boys see you for only a limited amount of time. He had his leverage to uphold over the boys and he wasn’t gonna screw it up. Caleb was willing to do anything to get the boys to join his club.
Before they could panic any more their bodies started reacting to the music that was playing. Caleb was pulling them in by the groove of the beats playing.
Alex was first. His hand twirling his drum stick, not being able to control it. He then appeared on stage, he was scared because he couldn’t stop playing the drums.
“Alex…show me watcha’ got.” Caleb introduced him. He looked around at the audience who cheered but he was nowhere near as happy to be there.
“Yeah Alex!” Someone cheered from the crowd.
Next was Reggie who could feel the music flow through him, he could feel his body move on his own and that’s what worried him. Luke turned his head to see the empty spot where Reggie once stood and watched as Reggie reappeared next to Caleb on his left.
“Reggie…swing it baby!” Reggie played a smooth bass run. The musical connection he’d usually have wasn’t there. His feet moving on their own accord.
“Now Luke!” Caleb pointed off to the sidelines of the stage. Luke had swung his guitar to the front of him. He scowled as Caleb kept magically pulling him closer on stage, but Luke was trying to fight it. He tried and tried and soon he was walking forcefully towards Caleb. He scowled as he aggressively played each note. No control over his own body. You were right this wasn’t what it seemed like. They’d get to play eternity, but not on their own accord, not willing, there was no individuality, no freedom. Nothing.
“How do you like my new band?” Caleb sang. The crowd was eating it up. They were loving it more than the boys were. As Caleb began to scat. You suddenly appeared center stage wearing a hot number similar to Caleb’s backup dancers. The only minor difference between your outfit and theirs was the lack of feathers and extra accessories. Caleb made you look less ridiculous than his dancers. A purple two piece that coordinated with the boys suits, the added beads and jewels color coordinated with their suits. As someone who was from the 90′s, the heels Caleb put you in were new. Never in your life would you ever wear heels. You could never walk in them. High tops were always the move, not the three - four inch heels you wore. Yet as you moved, not on your own accord, but by whatever Caleb was making you do. You moved gracefully. Twirling and kicking a leg up in the air. Swinging to the music.
Luke’s eyes widened as he watched you go into a sudden split. You got up and then danced over to him. Your hands ran across his shoulders, and your hips swayed side to side. You were not enjoying one bit about this. Luke’s eyes displayed how grateful he was to see you again. Yet they feigned hurt because this wasn’t what neither of you wanted. Caleb smirked at the two of you, then snapped his fingers as he sang.
Luke had stopped playing which caused him to wonder why, but he soon realized why. His hand immediately reached out for yours, suddenly twirling you in circles three times. He was surprised by how you didn’t get dizzy. He knew that you weren’t loving this either, he knew that you had two left feet, but Caleb made you move so elegantly no one would ever know that in reality you couldn’t actually dance. You stopped spinning and then Luke spun you out and then in. For the ending drum hit that Alex played, Caleb made Luke dip you into his left knee then bring you back up. Your head hung back as he dipped you. Luke supported the back of your head as you went down, then right back up. Chest against chest. The motion was quick and sudden. You breathed heavily as your hands rested on his shoulders and your left leg lifted against his hip. Luke’s right hand caressed your exposed skin on your left thigh as he held it up against his side.
You could feel his hot breath against your cheek. Luke had turned his head briefly then looked right back at you. Your breath was taken away by his moves, it had caught you off guard. Luke wasn’t gonna lie, even in the ridiculous outfits they were in, you managed to look even more beautiful. You were breathtaking the moment you appeared on stage. If the circumstances were different, Luke would have showered you with kisses. He wouldn’t have hesitated to take your lower lip. To take you there and then like he would back when he’d convince you to skip classes with him.
As he reached forward to brush his lips against yours, you vanished into thin air again. Luke almost wanted to cry. He looked to the roaring crowd that he had tuned out, then looked to Reggie, then to Caleb.
He knew they couldn’t stay here, he knew what would happen to them if they didn’t accept Caleb’s offer too. Yet no music was worth making without Julie, without you by his side every time. A world worth living in the afterlife was not worth it without you. It wasn’t worth picking up a guitar again if he was being forced to play in front of a crowd.
He knew what he and the boys had to do. They had to fight. 
-
Julie had gone onto the stage. The boys were nowhere to be seen. She grew worried that something had happened. She had an idea but it was too much for her to bear. She was devastated her friends were gone. She didn’t want to have to play alone but she knew that she had too. She had to go up there alone, she had to do it for them. They were the reason she was where she was now. Julie wouldn’t have been able to do it if it hadn’t been for them. If it hadn’t been for you. You were starting to grow on her. She found an equal, a companion, a shoulder to cry on within you. You were there for her when she couldn’t go to the guys about things. Luke liked to tease you and let you handle the ‘girl stuff’ as he put it.
You were gone too.
After delivering her speech, Julie took a deep breath and began playing the notes she knew by heart on the keyboard.
“Don’t blink. No, I don’t want to miss it. One thing, and it’s back to the beginning Cause everything is rushing in fast Keep going on never look back. And it’s one, two, three, four times That I’ll try for one more night Light a fire in my eyes. I’m going out of my mind, Whatever happens Even if I’m the last standing. I'ma stand tall. I'ma stand tall, Whatever happens Even when everything’s down I'ma stand tall. I'ma stand tallI gotta keep on dreaming. Cause I gotta catch that feeling. Whatever happens Even if I’m the last standing. I'ma stand tall. I'ma stand tall.” Julie poured her heart out onto the song.
Alex was the first to appear on the stage with her. She was taken aback, but so happy to see him. He smiled at her as he each beat.
-
The boys were about to play another song but they were trying so hard to stop. Caleb smirked as he twirled around two of his dancers. The crowd were dancing in their seats waiting for another great song.
Alex had looked down at his hands. He could admit that this was now how things were supposed to go. He should have been there right now with Julie and the boys playing the Orpheum, not here being forced out of his will. Music was supposed to come out freely, not pressured out by some old magical ghost. He knew Willie’s soul and yours was taken. Alex was going to make sure that you both got them back, so that you wouldn’t have to endure this place anymore. The song was beginning and right as he was about to collide his sticks with the center of his drums. He stopped. He didn’t know what it was but it was like he could feel something stir within him. Like music…He observed himself, then began unbuttoning his white shirt. He smiled as he was able to remove the bowtie, then quickly folded the ends of his sleeves. The boys were watching him with curiosity, then were taken back when he vanished from the stage. This caught Caleb’s attention. He frowned as he heard Reggie gasp.
Reggie felt like something was calling to him, almost like an echo to his heart, to his soul. It was a light trying to guide him back to where he belonged. Reggie quickly shed off his blazer, feeling like he was wearing too much red to begin with. Caleb took a step back as he looked offended about the blazer being on the floor. Reggie kept the vest on though. He smiled over at Luke, who was also smiling non stop. Then he vanished too like Alex had. Luke laughed as he stared at the empty space Reggie stood.
-
“Right now. I’m loving every minute Hands down. Can’t let myself forget it, no. Cause everything is rushing in fast. Keep holding on nevеr look back.” Julie’s heart felt full as Reggie appeared beside her. Her boys weren’t gone, they were slowly coming back to her one by one. All that was left was Luke. “And it’s one, two, three, four times. That I’ll try for one morе night. Light a fire in my eyes…” Julie grew aware of how much Luke was glitching. Luke was having a hard time trying to appear on stage. To the audience it looked like the ‘hologram’ was malfunctioning, but to Julie and the guys, they knew Luke was trying so hard to fight against whatever was holding him back.
-
“Now Luke…” Caleb chuckled. “Alex and Reggie clearly have some different opinions in mind.” Luke scowled. He pulled at the collar that was suffocating him. He grunted as he ripped the bowtie off, then the sleeves of his shirt. Leaving his whole arms exposed just how he liked it. His chains and arm scarf made their appearance as he looked down at the ripped pieces on the ground.
“Ouch!” Caleb feigned hurt. He placed a hand on his chest and shook his head. “Should’ve stuck with the sleeveless outfit I had in mind for you then, huh?” Caleb clicked his tongue at Luke.
“This isn’t about the outfits.” Luke snapped. “It’s about the-”
“The music. Yes I know.” Caleb rolled his eyes. “But what about it being about the girl too.” Caleb smirked.
“What are you…Where’s Y/N-” Luke suddenly remembered. He began but was cut off when Caleb made you reappear once again, but this time Caleb had a strong hold on your arm. Luke grew guilty at the thought of almost leaving without you.
“Luke?” You were in your normal clothes again. The fear in your eyes was prominent. He was scared too.
“Let her go!” He warned Caleb. Luke’s eyes grew dark.
“Can’t do that!” Caleb sing-songed. You looked down at the torn material on the ground. Then you looked up at Luke’s outfit. He changed his look….
You looked around for Alex and Reggie but they were nowhere to be seen. A smile appeared on your face.
“Luke, you have to go. The Orpheum, remember?” You exclaimed trying to get out of Caleb’s hold. “Julie needs you.” You pleaded.
“Not without you!” He argued.
“Yes without me. You made the outfit your own. See! The guys were able to leave. You need to go, Luke.” You smiled sadly. “Your unfinished business, remember.”
“What about yours huh? You’ll be trapped here, remember. You didn’t even know what it was. You said it was something you didn’t get the chance to do.” Luke’s eyes watered.
You did though…You did know because it was the one thing you had been scared to do. To say. Your smile grew as a tear shed down your face. Caleb found the interaction adorable, he just had to roll his eyes at the two teenagers in love.
“Well this is just too precious, but I do have a show to do so if you’ll excuse-” 
“I love you, Luke!” You blurted out.
Luke took a step back not expecting you to do that. He was gonna say it back, but he noticed that you had started to glow.
“Y/n your-” He gasped. You frowned then looked down at yourself. Caleb let go of you then yelled angrily. 
“No!”
You then gasped when something struck you. You knew that it wasn’t good. You didn’t feel good, but you didn’t want to tell Luke.
You looked down and watched as the glowing hue died down. You glanced up at Luke and giggled as you ran up to him.
“I think I got my soul back.” You muttered. Yet deep down you knew that something was wrong. Caleb struck you with something, but you just wanted to get Luke out of here so you lied, plus it was nice seeing him smile again. “I love you…so much Luke.”
“You waited till I died to tell me…dumb!” Luke chuckled as he cupped your face and kissed you roughly. He was taking the moment to savor the feeling of your lips against his. To make up for the moment that Caleb ruined between you two on stage. To show you how much he loved you. He pulled back and pressed his head against yours. His smile grew every second.
“No!” You both turned your head to face Caleb. “I’m not through with you my darling.” Caleb smirked.
“You forgot about something Caleb.” You smirked too. “And what is that?”
“You went back on your deal, You can’t harm another ghost you mark…Willie is free now.” You reminded him. His smirk faded away suddenly. “You don’t have a hold over him or me. You lost this time.” You knew that wasn’t true. He still had his hold over you, but Willie was free. Caleb promised you no harm would come to Willie or the guys, but he hurt them. So now he had to let Willie go. He was being reluctant to let them go…to let you go. Luke grabbed a hold of your hand.
“I believe we have a show to get to.” He beamed.
“Let’s go then, what are you waiting for!” You exclaimed as you pulled at his arm. Luke grinned, grabbing your hand and then orbed you guys out of the club. Not wanting to spend another second here.
-
“I’m going out of my mind!” Luke finally appeared on stage coming in with his vocals. There were no more glitches or malfunctions. He fully appeared as himself. He rocked out and sang his heart out. Julie had grabbed her mic when he finally showed up. She started jumping up and down on stage. She had looked around for a brief second which Luke caught onto. He looked at her then gestured over to the crowd where you stood in the front row. Julie turned her head in time to see you throw a big kiss at her with your hands. She grew excited and continued dancing around on stage.
“Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing I'ma stand tall. I'ma stand tall Whatever happens even when everything’s down I'ma stand tall. I'ma stand tallI gotta keep on dreaming Cause I gotta catch that feeling, Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing I'ma stand tall. I'ma stand tall.”
“Like I’m glowing in the dark. I keep on going when it’s all falling apart Yeah I know it with all my heart. Ooh, ooh.” Luke and Julie harmonized together. Then Luke sand. 
“Never look back!” 
“Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing. I'ma stand tall, I'ma stand tall.” Alex stood up and let his voice be heard. You always enjoyed hearing him sing.
“Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing. I'ma stand tall, I'ma stand tall.” 
Reggie then sang his heart out next. “Stand tall!”
“Stand tall!” 
“Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing. I'ma stand tall, I'ma stand tall, Whatever happens even when everything’s down I'ma stand tall, I'ma stand tall I gotta keep on dreaming. Cause I gotta catch that feeling, Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing. I'ma stand tall, I'ma stand tall…” They finished off slowly.
The crowd cheered as the guys and Julie stood in the middle of the stage bowing. You blew a kiss at Luke and then placed your hand over your heart as you looked at Julie. You were even surprised when you noticed Carried had stood up as well. It had been a beautiful moment to witness. You knew the band was going to be a hit.
You started crying right after the boys vanished from the stage leaving Julie standing alone. You wanted to go up there and hug her. They were the reason why Julie was doing what she loved again. You were so proud of them. Their unfinished business was accomplished. They played the Orpheum. They could finally cross over. You were so happy for them that you couldn’t even be hurt by Luke leaving. Luke talked about crossing over so much you weren’t surprised that he finally did.
But you grew surprised when you and Julie made it back to the garage studio to find the boys laying on the ground in pain. You didn’t even bother to turn the lights on, but Julie did. You were only worried about the boys and why they were still here.
“Luke!” You ran over to him. His eyes were closed, and he groaned out. “I-I don’t understand?” 
“Why are you here? I-I thought-” Julie was cut off by the sudden jolt that struck the boys. He held onto Alex and Luke’s hands as they groaned out in pain. Coughing because taking so much of their energy away. “I-I thought you crossed over. Why didn’t you cross over?”
Alex took his hand back silently thanking you for comforting him. “I-I guess playing the Orpheum…” He struggled to stand up. “Wasn’t our unfinished business.”
“Point Caleb.” Reggie said sarcastically. He used the sofa chair as support to hold him up.
“We wanted you guys to think we crossed over…so we pretended to.” Luke glanced up at Julie then looked at you beside him. “We just…” He shook his head, shrugging because he found it silly. “We had nowhere else to go.” Luke looked so hurt you didn’t think holding his hand was doing enough to comfort him.
“We’d thought you’d go straight to bed…” Reggie shrugged looking at Julie then at you. 
“And we thought you’d go on one of your walks or visit your parents grave like you always do.”
“Yeah well.” Alex sighed heavily as he leaned against the piano. “I knew they were both gonna come out here but nobody ever listens to-” Another jolt struck the boys. This one was stronger than the last one causing them to curl over and clutch their stomachs. They were all brought down. Luke had to lay down, Reggie let go of the couch, and Alex almost fell to his knees.
“I don’t know how to help!” You exclaimed as you looked over each of them. You had never seen them in pain this badly.
Julie rushed forward and pleaded at them. “You have to save yourself right now! Go join Caleb’s club please! It’s better than not existing at all…please just go, go poof out, do something please! Do it for me please. Do it for Y/n, Luke.” Julie gestured to you, who was on the verge of crying. Luke turned over to stare at you with a look you couldn’t describe.
“We’re not going back there.” Reggie shook his head. He never wanted to return to that terrible place.
Luke stood up letting go of your hand and stepped closer to Julie. “No music is worth making Julie, if we’re not making it with you.” Julie tilted her head, her eyes glossing over his words. “No regrets.” Luke admitted. She reached forward to embrace him. At first you were touched that she even attempted to hug Luke, but your eyes widened when Julie was able to wrap her arms around him. She didn’t phase through him. You were taken back because she was able to touch him. Luke wrapped his arms around her too when she went in for a hug. Reggie smiled and Alex was confused.
“I love you guys.” Julie sniffled.
Julie then suddenly pulled back realizing she could feel Luke. She ran her hands down his arms then to his hands. “How can I feel you?”
Luke was surprised too. “I-I don’t know.”
Julie gasped as she placed her hands on his face. You were in too much pain to care about her touching Luke, you knew there wasn’t anything more to it. Luke then cupped her face too. Laughing because he couldn’t believe what was happening.
He turned to look at you guys. “I feel stronger.”
“Alex, Reggie, come.” Julie told them. You knew that the boys were more hurt, so Julie had motioned them over. Julie wasn’t aware that you were hurt too. She thought you were fine, all of them did. So they thought.
“How can that be?” You said to yourself. You were about to walk up to them when you felt the energy suddenly drain from your body. You stumbled back slightly.
The guys walked up to Julie and wrapped their arms around each other. Halo beams glowed up into the air above them as they stayed in that position for a few seconds. They were too busy to notice that they didn’t catch the sudden thump that hit the ground. You collapsed.
“Woah, I-I don’t feel as weak anymore.” Reggie smiled.
“Yeah, me neither. Not that I was ever that weak.” Alex joked, causing them all to laugh. The guys then all looked down at their wrist. The purple stamp removed itself from their wrist and flowed up into the air.
“What do you think that means?” Julie gaped at the purple magic that floated above her. 
“I think the band is back.” Luke smiled.
“You guys think we could try that hug one more time?” Alex asked, they laughed and huddled together embracing each other with their hands.
“I like this!” Reggie admitted.
“Me too!” Julie exclaimed. “We played the Orpheum!” They all jumped up and down together.
Luke was the first to step back from the hug briefly to glance back at you. He finally grew aware that you were quiet the entire time.
“Hey, Y/n why you’d get-” Luke chuckled but felt his heart plummet when he noticed you on the ground. Your eyes were closed. “Y/n!” Luke rushed over to your side. The guys and Julie rushed to your aid too. Luke cupped your face trying to get you to open your eyes. “Hey baby, come on now. Open your eyes for me yeah.” Luke smiled, pleading with hopeful eyes. He gently patted the side of your cheek. “Why aren’t you opening your eyes?” He exclaimed. “W-Why isn’t she opening her eyes?” He looked over his shoulder at Julie, Alex and Reggie. “Y/n, open your eyes. Open your eyes baby, please!” Luke took you into his arms and rocked you. Shaking you and patting your face. No response. “Come on now. I can’t do this without you.” Luke shook his head.
“She was fine….She looked fine…” Julie shook her head. “Why isn’t she fine?”
“You guys were the last ones to leave the club…”Alex pointed out. “Did anything happen?” “She said she got her soul back, but why would…” Luke trailed off as he looked down at you. His eyes roamed over your body until he caught a glimpse of your wrist. He grabbed your arm and pulled back your sleeve to reveal the purple mark still present, still tattooed onto your skin. “I-I don’t…why is this still here?” Luke croaked. “Shouldn’t this be gone.”
“Caleb might still have a hold on her.” Reggie furrowed his brows.
“He can’t.” Luke denied any thoughts. “Y/n was fine, she was fine.” Luke hugged you closer to his chest. “You were fine, why aren’t you fine?” He whimpered to you. He brushed your hair out of your face looking at your closed eyes. You looked peaceful, too peaceful. You didn’t show any signs of suffering. His hands stopped as he suddenly remembered that Julie was in front of him. “Julie, come here.” He sniffled as he adjusted your body to allow Julie to be able to get closer to you. “Y-You can feel us, maybe if you hug her, or touch her, she’ll wake up.” Luke was so sure that his idea would work.
“I’ll try.” The corner of her lips were drawn down, but her eyes reassured Luke that she was willing to try. Julie slowly reached forward to place her hand on your skin. The anticipation was tense around the room. Alex, Reggie, and Luke waited for her hand to come in contact with your skin, but all she was met with was air. Her hand had gone through you. Luke shed a tear as he watched Julie’s anxiety start to form as she repeated the motion. Her hand still went through. He gently stopped her hand and shook his head. Luke reassured her through his teary eyes.
“Could you guys give me…” Luke gestured to you. “I just want to be alone with her right now.” 
“Luke are you sure?” Alex grew unsure about leaving Luke alone. No one should have to be alone for something like this. Alex was so fond of you. He was glad Luke and you met when you guys did. After he and Luke had gone through something, Alex thought things were going to be weird, but you never made things weird. Alex was just glad Luke had you. His anxiety was slowly growing and making its appearance. He never did like change. Dying had been a big change, now you were not waking up. He didn’t know how he’d be able to handle this. He was concerned for Luke because Luke never really showed anyone how he was feeling. He’d bottle things up, so staying calm right now was worrying Alex.
“Alex please…” Luke’s glossed over eyes peered up to look into his. Luke averted his gaze and glanced down to look at you again. His thumb caressing over your cheek.
“We’ll be outside okay.” Julie stood up and placed her hand on Luke’s shoulder before she guided Reggie and Alex out of the garage closing the doors behind her.
As soon as the doors closed Luke immediately broke down. Tear after tear fell down his face. He hugged you closer, rocking you in his arms as he dug his face into the side of your neck. “I’m so sorry baby.” He muttered into your neck. “I’m so sorry.” He pulled back to look at you. “I-I didn’t even tell you I loved you.” He shook his head. He hated himself for not saying it back at the club. He had kissed you instead, he didn’t say it, not even when you guys were in school. “God I love you…I love you so much. I should have told you sooner, I should’ve told you after our first date. I should’ve told you when you were there for me after I ran away. I should’ve…” He cried. He clenched his jaw, closing his eyes as he rested his face on the crook of your neck. He just held you. Trying to embrace you closer, there wasn’t any more room to possibly hold you against him closer. He kept readjusting his arms around you to hug you. He sniffled, small cries filled the quiet studio.
Julie, Reggie, and Alex, could hear him through the doors. Each shedding their own tears. Each filled with sorrow and pain.
Luke couldn’t move. He stayed sitting on the floor. Holding your body up. He began muttering words that slowly turned into a song. “When I can’t think of the right words to say…I just sing oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.” He sniffled as he rocked you. “Come on and harmonize with my melody and we’ll sing oh oh oh oh oh oh oh…” He pulled back to get a view of you. “Ain’t it a perfect harmony. You got me.” He waited to hear you sing your part back to him, but you didn’t. “I got you.” He whispered. “I got you.” He nodded. “You got me. Yeah you got me.” A tear fell down his cheek. “I got you. A perfect harmony…” You two would always finish off harmonizing but you didn’t sing your parts, so Luke’s voice alone didn’t create that magical sound that made your voices mix so perfectly. “I love you so much…” He dug his face into the crook of your neck sobbing. He had been too lost in his own thoughts he didn’t notice the purple mark leave your body. The magical trace that was printed on your skin flowed into the air. Caleb’s mark was gone.
“You waited till I died to tell me….” You rasped. The glowing hue came back and took over your body. “Dumb.” Luke gasped as he pulled back and gaped at you with wide eyes.
You sighed as you slowly opened your eyes squinting at the lights that were too bright at the moment. Luke cupped your face as you tried sitting up, but you found yourself on his lap instead. Luke looked relieved and on the verge of happy tears. You placed your hands over his cupped ones and smiled. You were so tired and your head hurt from the fall.
“Oh my god!” Luke exclaimed as he checked you over to make sure nothing else was wrong. “Guys get in here!” Luke yelled out. The three outside gave each other looks of concern as they opened the doors and rushed in. They all stopped mid run once they saw you awake. “Oh my god. You’re okay!” He held your face in his hands. His eyes gleaming over with tears of joy. “God I love you so much.”
“What just happened?” Julie was confused because the light in you dimmed not too long ago. 
“I’m free.” You gasped. You looked down at your forearm, running your palm over the area where the mark had been.
“Does that mean that…” Alex trailed off as he stopped to think for a minute. “Willie? Is he-” 
“He’s okay Alex.” You smiled as you caught sight of someone entering the studio.
“Alex.” Everyone turned around as Willie suddenly appeared. Alex stood still for a moment as he ran up to him and hugged him. They pulled back and shared a hesitatant kiss.
“You’re okay.” Alex laughed. “I’m so glad you’re okay.” 
“Likewise hotdog.” Willie smiled at the happy blonde.
Luke couldn’t help but smile at his best friend then look over at you.
“I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t woken up.” He ran a hand through your hair. 
“Hey, you got me.” You sang as you cupped his face gently. He smiled as he pressed his head against yours.
“I got you.” He harmonized with you. You laughed and pressed a tender kiss to his lips.
“I want love!” Julie pouted. Blurting out her inner thoughts causing everyone in the room to laugh.
“You’ll get there soon kiddo.” You laughed as you reassured her. “You’ll get there soon.” You smiled fondly at Luke.

𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: Remus won’t let you go to an important meeting with them and you get all pouty because you don’t want to be left with the mean bodyguard they left you with last time. You get lost while roaming around the building even though your not aloud to while their in Remus’s office talking about what there gonna do to the man that dared to disrespect their precious baby.
“Daddy pleaseeee I’ll be good I promise!” You begged with your arms wrapped around his waist tightly. “Bunny i said no. Now go to Sirius and James I’ve got a meeting” he ordered you before releasing your grip you had on him. You pouted but obeyed and began walking towards the workout room.
You opened the door making James and Sirius’s attention turn to you. “Hi my baby, what’s got my puppy so upset hm?” Sirius asked walking towards you. You made grabby hands towards him and he instantly hoisted you up to his hips.
You placed your head on his chest finding comfort in his fast heartbeat. James walked towards the both of you before placing a kiss on your cheek. “Hey princess, you wanna tell us what’s wrong hm?”
“Remmy said I can’t go wif you guys to the important meeting” you explained making Sirius tut. “And Remus is right. We can’t have our little baby in danger now can we?” He asked rhetorically. James nodded in agreement making you whine.
“Don’t wanna be alone wif’ the meanie” you mumbled hiding back into Sirius’s shoulder for solace. “What meanie baby?” Sirius asked with more attention to you then before. “The one you guys leave me with. He’s mean to me, and makes fun of bunny!” You exclaimed referring to your much beloved stuffed animal, bunny.
“Does he do anything else love?” Sirius asked trying to keep his temper down. You nodded with a whine. “He tripped me with his shoe on purpose and kept touching my thigh” you whimpered.
They were livid at the thought of one of their men just making fun of you, but touching you? That man will be tortured and dead before midnight.
“How bout we deal with the meanie and you visit Reggie while we’re at the meeting hm?” James asked you causing you to perk up.
You loved visiting regulus, he would let you do anything you want. Including, learning how to shoot and eating a bunch of sweets before they pick you up.
You nodded enthusiastically as they both headed out of the workout room still shirtless and with you on Sirius’s hip. When you all reached to Remus’s office they both went in without permission or even a knock to your suprisement. Your not even allowed to go into Remus’s office without permission.
Remus glared at their impoliteness before turning his gaze on your eyes which already had tears built up in them. Sirius set you down much to your dislike before placing a kiss on your forehead.
“Go wait outside for us baby we’ll be out in a minute” “but I wanna stay-” “out now bunny.” Remus cut you off making your whimper at his harsh tone. You walked out sadly as James closed the door behind you giving you a sympathetic smile.
You decided to go to the back to the room to retrieve your much cared for stuffed animal. “M’ bored bunny, Siri said they’ll be out in a minute but it’s been forever!” You exclaimed talking to the plush that was hanging from your grip on its arm.
After a few seconds you decided to roam around the building as you never got to since this building was only for meetings and important rooms that only Sirius Remus and James got to be in.
A few minutes later you decided to return to the office, only if you could remember how you got there in the first place. You were completely lost. All you could remember was climbing up a staircase and looking at the large paintings on the walls. You had a problem with remembering things in little space. You perked up as your ears heard faint voices.
You walked around the corner and turned your direction to the pretty maids that were currently giggling and gossiping while refilling the coffee machine. The three of their faces turned white as they saw you peeking at them from the corner.
“Hello, what can I do for you today?” One of the maids greeted you making you smile. The two other maids eyes grew wide. “What are you doing?!? That’s the marauders little! Are you trying to get us killed?!?” One of them exclaimed in a alerted whisper tone. The other one nodded in agreement.
“Hello! I was bored so I wanted to walk around but I got lost, do you know how to go to the office?” You asked softly. The maid nodded before giving you the directions. “It’s two lefts, down the corridor and stairs, then to the right.” She explained giving you a small smile.
You let out a tiny whine of confusion. Directions weren’t your strong suit when you were in little space. “Can you come with me please?” You asked giving her your best puppy eyes.
She hesitated looking back at the two maids with shocked faces“Well alright then. Cmon dear” she said walking towards you despite the other maids pleads not to help. “Thank you!” “of course dear” “what’s your name?” “My name is mrs daisy” she replied taking a left. You followed behind her nodding at her reply.
“Can I call you miss.daisy?” You questioned making her giggle and nod. A few minutes later you were both a few steps away from the office. “Well, I think it’s time to go back to work now, goodbye” she said walking up the staircase. You waved goodbye before whipping your head to the direction of harsh stomps.
Remus had a look of worriedness and anger as he walked towards you. “What did we tell you about roaming the building without us? And who was that girl that was with you?” He questioned you sending a glare to the kind maid that was walking up the large staircase.
She turned around and was frightened at the three of them staring at her with such danger in their eyes. She hurriedly walked into the hall not daring to look back at them.
“That’s miss daisy! I got lost so she helped me!” You explained with a proud grin on your face. “She had no right to do that. I’ll make sure to talk with her tomorrow.” Remus said sternly as he picked you up and began walking to the exit of the building along with James and Sirius.
“But daddy i asked her to help me! She was just being nice!” You tried to defend the sweet maid. “No buts. Your getting punished as soon as we get home.” Sirius said pushing open the exit doors.
“But daddy-” you tried to say before getting cut off. “No buts. You disobeyed us by roaming around a very dangerous building that we told you you can’t roam around without us by your side. Your spending an hour in the corner and I don’t want to hear a peep out of you.” James demanded making you whimper. “Yes daddy”
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“Your time is up now bunny come here” James said softly patting his lap. You quickly sat on his lap burying your face in his chest. “Such a good girl for taking your punishment so well” James praised placing a kiss on your head before stroking your hair with such gentleness. “Daddy’s good girl?” “Mhm” he hummed in confirmation.
“Daddy?”
“Yes?”
“Can you make sure miss daisy doesn’t get in trouble please?” You pleaded causing him to sigh. “I’ll see what I can do.”

ᥫ᭡ little romantic gestures ; trying to cook their favorite dish + pulling them in the warmest hugs
Tumblr media
"reggie is something burning?" you ask. dropping your bag on the couch, you made your way into the shared tiny kitchen in the apartment that you, reggie, alex, and luke shared. seeing that the only pair of shoes on the living room carpet were reggie's, you assumed luke and alex were at work.
"no!! everything's fine," he yells.
"see, when you say 'everything's fine' its not reassuring." reggie stands in the middle of the kitchen holding a smoking pot, a panicked expression on his face.
"heyyyy." he drags out the word. "how are youuuuu?" he quickly tosses the contents of the pot into the sink. immediately making your way over to the sink, you peer in.
reggie picks you up by the waist and lifts you up into the air and away from the sink.
"how the hell do you burn spaghetti?" you laugh. reggie puts you down and smiles awkwardly.
"i was trying to make your favorite," he offers, pointing to the canned sauce on the scratched counter.
"why?" you ask. reggie cannot cook for the life of him. alex literally put up a sign (a sticky note on the fridge) saying he wasn't allowed to do anything more than microwave leftovers.
"i... have a favor to ask you," he starts. you groan and roll your eyes.
"this can't be good."
"no, no i swear it's not as bad as you think. its like super simple, please," he says.
"can't you ask luke or alex?" you say, going to the dishwasher to grab a (probably) clean glass. you fill it u with water as reggie follows you around the small space like a puppy dog.
"no. it has to be you," he deadpans. you turn and lift the now-full glass to your lips, gesturing for him to get on with it. "ineedyoutopretendtobemygirlfriendfortheweekendprettyprettyplease," he blurts out, face turning scarlet.
"hold on. say that all again, slowly." you finish off your glass and put it into the sink, next to the blackened spaghetti strands.
"i need you to.. pretend. to, uh, be my girlfriend?" upon seeing your expression, reggie adds, "just for the weekend! please! bobby's been on my ass about not having one and i really just wanna wipe that smirk off his fake-vegetarian fa—"
you cut him off. "sure."
"sure?" his face splits into the widest grin. he grabs you by the shoulders and pulls you into the warmest hug you've ever received, even surpassing the one alex gave you when he had the flu and a fever higher than everest. "you're seriously the best, y/n."
"hey, hey! only for the weekend!" you laugh into his worn flannel as he lifts you off your feet and spins you around.
"i love you! you're amazing," he says, putting you down and running out of the room, the biggest smile on his adorable face.
you look down at the burnt spaghetti in the sink. "i love you too, reg," you murmur.
