One thing that you hated about Outer Banks was how the heat still radiated at night, causing excessive amounts of water to be drank and a great amount of fans that blew hot air into your face.
It only made everyone irritable and only caused more arguments like now,
"I swear to god JJ, I am about to fucking murder you if you say another word," You hissed, giving him a glare as he mockingly grew scared.
"I agree," Cleo said before falling back into her nap.
"All I'm saying is that we have been moping around here for hours meanwhile we could be partying on the fresh beach and cool water," JJ replied, using his hands to represent the scenery to all of you.
"I'm going to have to agree with Y/N," Pope said, turning his head to JJ, "I'm already in tough shit with my parents for when you knocked over my great-grandmothers vase," Pope glared.
JJ put his hands up in defense, "I told you tequila makes me clumsy,"
"Besides every single Kook is there, including Rafe and if he sees Sarah with us, it will only bring another fight and you are not going back to jail," Kie warned, still closing her eyes while the fan blew the air in her face, blowing her hair.
"When have we ever been scared of Rafe?" JJ asked.
"When he gave me a full smackdown for doing my job," Pope scoffed.
"And when he almost drowned me," Sarah chimed in from across the room where she was laying on John B's legs on the carpet floor.
"And when he shot Sheriff Peterkin in front of us," John B added.
"And when-" Pope began.
"Okay that's enough," He said as you giggled, turning your head back to the fan.
You didn't know much about Rafe Cameron since you had moved to Outer Banks only last year and you had met the "star Pogues" a few months ago.
You had never really seen Rafe's face ever, only heard of him honestly.
But you didn't know if it was a bad thing.
All you had heard about was how evil and villainous he was which caused some places to be off limits for the fact that the boys couldn't handle another beat down with the Kooks and there was a greater matter at hand.
But still, you always were curious about "evil" Rafe Cameron.
"You guys are no fun," JJ pouted, sitting beside you on the couch.
You patted the lower part of his leg, "Poor baby," You sarcastically said to which moved his leg swiftly causing you to laugh.
Suddenly the lights and fans turned off as you all except for JJ groaned, knowing that meant the electricity was off you and you would have to deal with the heat and darkness.
Which meant the only choice was the beach party,
JJ cheered, "I win!"
Tumblr media
You crossed your arms as you walked on the warm sand, lots of cheering and loud music around you. You could see the Kooks and the Pogues in their own groups, not daring to interact with eachother.
It was hard to get used to the fact that there were two groups of people based on economic statuses and that it meant that if you were one thing, the other one hated you.
You had never been to a place like that but you just kinda got used to it.
Yet you still could never tell which group was really which sometimes.
You were forced to walk around by yourself as John B and Sarah wandered off to a quiet spot while JJ started drinking with Kie as his babysitter and Cleo and Pope wandered around.
All of it sounded like a lot of third wheeling which made you stay away.
But you didn't mind being alone, you liked listening to the waves and watching the festivities that went along with a party.
And you knew that a beer would help you get more into the party festivities.
You walked over the keg where a man with a shaved head and a matching tank top and shorts poured himself a beer as you curiously looked at him.
You had to admit that he was one of the most attractive men you had seen before.
His lips were a perfect shade of pink and they were smooth like sucking on a cherry. His veins were bulging from his hands and you could see the peach fuzz on his jawline that you could only really see upclose.
You snapped out of your analysis as he looked at you as you waited there awkwardly, forming a smile on your face.
"Sorry to creepily stand here, I'm just trying to get a uh-" You said, pointing to the keg.
His face studied you for a second, almost as if he was trying to figure you out. You could tell by his face that he had never seen you before and he looked as if he was trying to figure out if you were a Kook or Pogue.
He chuckled, "Didn't mean to take so long, I wouldn't have if I had seen your pretty face sooner," He smirked, looking you up and down, causing you to blush.
You felt stupid for blushing over something that a man probably said to every pretty girl he saw but you felt something different about him.
You were taken aback by his boldness, "Do you say that to every women that waits for her turn on the keg?" You teased.
"Only the pretty ones," He replied, causing you to laugh.
"Smooth talker I see," You smiled.
"Always," He joked, "I swear I've never seen you around and usually, you know everyone in Outer Banks," He probed.
"Yeah, I just moved here last year," You answered, "I haven't made my rounds yet,"
"Figured," He said, "I would've definitely noticed you,"
"Pfft," You beamed, "I'm sure you would've walked past me on the beach, there are many beautiful girls here,"
"Nah," He laughed, looking off, "You are different from them,"
"How could you already assume that?" You asked, curiosity biting at you.
"For one, you aren't stuck up and preppy which is most the girls on this island," He grinned as you giggled.
"Ay, they aren't all like that," You replied.
"Most of 'em," He added, "But I don't pay much attention to them,"
"Figures," You said, eyebrow raising.
He saw your eyes move the keg and his cup before he offered his cup forward.
"Might as well take mine, I wouldn't feel proud of myself if I let you pour one yourself," He winked.
Great attempt at being a gentlemen.
"No no, I got it," You said before he shook his head.
"I insist" He said, his thumb grazing yours.
"Thank you," You smiled, "I'm Y/N" You introduced, taking the cup from him while extending your other hand for him to shake.
He shook your hand, "I'm Rafe," He replied with a smile as yours slowly fell.
The Rafe? The Rafe you were basically supposed to never interact with and who was the supposed devil? That Rafe?
"Rafe Cameron?" You asked, standing frozen.
"Guess my reputation precedes me," He joked as you didn't laugh but instead cleared your throat.
You took your hand back quickly, "Oh, i-it's nice to meet you," You cleared your throat, "My friends are waiting so I'm gonna-"
He clearly figured you out, "Pogue, I'm guessing?" He snickered.
Your face wrinkled, "Is that supposed to be a funny thing?"
"Hilarious actually," He answered, only angering you more.
"I don't see what's funny about that?" You crossed your arms with ur drink resting in your hand.
He wiped his jaw, "Must be tough at the bottom of the food chain,"
Your nose flared, "Must be tough being an elite asshole,"
He laughed, "I just think it's an unfortunate cause, I mean it's just unlucky," He smirked.
Asshole.
"Unlucky?" Your lip pursed, " I think what's more unlucky is thinking that your cool for a fucked up economic status that has been perpetuated on an island,"
"I just don't believe your friends belong on Outer Banks," He said, not a hint of hesitance in his voice.
He really believed in this bullshit.
"I mean you would really rather hang out with a group of dirty Pogues?" He snickered, looking off.
"Well I am one of them and they are my friends," You scoffed, "You seem more dirty than us," You insulted.
"Is that so?" Rafe mocked.
"Do you wanna talk about your father's dirty money?" You asked.
"I would watch that pretty mouth," He replied, inching closer.
"Or what?" You hummed, acting braver than you usually would.
"Fuck around and find out sweetheart," He came closer, breath fawning on your face.
The whiskey on his breath kissed your nose but not breaking your eye contact with him as you inched closer, eyes on his lips.
As he tried to close the gap, you threw the drink in his face. "Oohs" and snickers filled around the both of you as you stomped away from him.
He smirked, wiping the alcohol off of his face.
'What an asshole,' You thought,
Little did you know that Rafe only grew to like you more.
Tumblr media
You found JJ and Kie sitting by the beach together as she laid her head on his shoulder. You were thinking about interrupting them but tarnish their moment, you choosing instead to call it a night and also you didn't feel like trying to find the rest of the group.
You were glad that you knew yourself enough to drive to the party considering that you got tired fast. You couldn't really see in the parking lot due to how dark it was and away from the lights.
You digged in your back pocket for your phone to pull out of the flashlight as you reached for your keys but dropped them instead in the process.
You audibly groaned as you searched on the floor in the darkness for the keys. You went on your knees with your flashing light, searching on the ground as you heard footsteps behind you, darting your flashlight behind you but seeing nothing.
You had a bad feeling but you thought it was paranoia because you were alone in the parking lot and maybe a little due to the interaction you had earlier with Rafe.
You couldn't stop thinking about how he came off as nice but switched so quickly into an elitist piece of shit.
Sounds like how they described him.
But still, there was a pit in your stomach that felt like butterflies when he grazed your thumb.
You sighed, pushing the thoughts out as you finally grabbed your keys, using the concrete-sanded floor push yourself back up off the ground.
Suddenly, you felt a cloth on your mouth and a hand covering your waist as your muffled screams filled the parking lot, trying to kick your attacker behind you.
You felt yourself drifting into the darkness as you screamed one last time,
And everything went black.

Late Night Needs
Tumblr media
pairing: perv!bsf!rafe cameron x oblivious!reader
summary: your best friend, rafe, calls you one night to talk, or so you think.
warnings: male masturbation, smut 18+ only, perv bsf rafe, oblivious/unaware reader, sexual themes
a/n: ty to my faves @oceandriveab for proof reading hehe and @babygorewhore for helping me w the title MWAH
gif creds: @tetragonia
Tumblr media
It was currently two in the morning when you woke up to the sound of your phone going off. You grabbed your phone, squinting as you looked to see several missed calls from your best friend, Rafe.
Just as you were about to call him back, your phone rang again. "Rafe?" you mutter as you answer the call but all you can hear is heavy breathing. "Hello?" you call out again and there's a small pause, "Yeah, 's me" his voice is low, "I've been trying to reach you all damn night".
"It's two in the morning" you groan, your eyes can barely stay open. "Just wanted to talk to my best friend, 's all" he breathes heavily, "Hold on, let me facetime you".
Before you can say anything, he switches the call to a facetime call, which of course, you accept it. As soon as he appears on the screen of your phone, you take notice that he was in his bed, sitting up against his headboard. He held his phone at an angle that showed his face and down to gist shirtless chest. “Why are you up?” was the first thing you asked, which made him chuckle, “Can’t talk to my best friend?”.
You give him a look, “At two in the morning?”. He shrugs, “Couldn’t sleep”. There was a pause and you could’ve sworn you heard the faint sound of heavy breathing but brushed it off, “Just got somethin’ on my mind” he added.
His comment makes you sit up in your bed and reach over to turn your bedside lamp on. As soon as you turned on the lamp, the light illuminated your features, causing Rafe to let out a small groan, one that you didn’t hear.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the FaceTime call, Rafe’s room was filled with the wet sounds of his hand stroking himself as he talked to you. His breathing was heavy and he was more than thankful at how oblivious you are.
For as long as Rafe has known you, he always knew you were an oblivious little thing. You never knew what was going on around you. It honestly turned him on even more knowing that you had no clue what he was doing on the other side of the FaceTime call.
"Wanna talk about what's on your mind?" you question, "No, ‘m fine. Just talk, wanna hear you talk" Rafe grunts, "You always make me feel better". You eagerly nodded because you would do anything to make him feel better. He was your best friend, after all.
He wasn’t really paying attention to exactly what you were saying, his mind is too focused on imagining how you’d sound under him as he moves his hand faster on his length and god, he just knew you’d make the prettiest fucking sounds for him.
As much as he loved listening to your voice and seeing your pretty little face on his screen, he desperately needed more. He needed to feel closer to you, almost as if you were with him in his bed.
Luckily, for Rafe, he knew just exactly how he can somewhat get the feeling of you wrapped around him.
He stopped for a second, unwrapping his hand from around himself before reaching into his pillowcase, pulling out a pair of your panties that he had stolen from the last time he was in your room. Sure, it wasn't anywhere near being what your cunt would feel like but it was the closest he could get to.
He wraps your panties around the base of his cock and starts stroking himself again. "Fuck" he groans, his eyes fluttering shut at the feeling. "Everything okay?" your voice rings through his ears, "Mhm, everything's good" he mutters, "So fuckin' good".
"What are you doing?" you ask curiously, still unaware of what he's really doing. "Just takin' care of something, nothing your pretty little head should worry about" he grunts, his hand moving faster as he opens his eyes to look at you while you were too busy paying attention to god knows what.
He bites his lip as he roughly fists his length up and down. The feeling of your panties wrapped around his cock, your voice, and the sight of you was all starting to get to him and he can feel himself getting close.
"Look at me" Rafe commanded with heavy-lidded eyes, his hand never slowing down. You stopped what you were doing and looked into the camera. "Oh fuck" he grunted as he reaches his orgasm, spurts of his cum covering your panties that he had wrapped around him.
"Are you sure you're okay, Rafe?" you question with concern, only to receive a smirk from him, "Never felt better" he mutters as he stares at your panties covered in his cum.

boyfriends - e.b
Tumblr media
summary: after dealing with her boyfriend for years, she finally decides to end things with help from buck.
evan buckley x reader
based on the song boyfriends by harry styles :))
a/n: guys i’m on s5 and what the duck is happening. also pretend ravi has been there for longer bc i literally love him
the table was set with thin candles and ceramic plates under a maroon tablecloth. there were light rain noises coming from outside, calming the room with the dim lights. the aroma of homemade pasta and white wine was filling the room. dressed in her neat jean skirt and black top, y/n sat in one of the chairs at the table.
the door unlocked and swung open with an aggressive stomping coming in with a swaying man. “hey, princess! sorry i’m late i was just busy.” slurring his words together, he walks over as she stands up.
“i thought you were at work.” she states, quietly. she’s confused as he should smell like an office, but instead radiates a busy bar and whisky.
“oh, the guys wanted to go out, sorry about dinner,” he says, slumping on the couch.
“i planned this whole thing, cam. you really couldn’t blow them off for one night?”
“it was just dinner! it’s not like we didn’t have food here.”
“yeah, food for us, that i made for you!” she starts getting annoyed but it’s impossible to argue with a drunk person. “it’s fine, i’ll just take it to work.” clearly annoyed, she pulls the plates out and clears them off into tupperware.
“well don’t be pissed at me because i wanted to hang out with the boys,” he says, his words barely making sense. she doesn’t fight back, knowing he won’t even remember this in the morning.
“go to bed, cameron.” y/n says, before entering the bathroom and shutting the door behind him.
————————————————————————
dressing for work, y/n wakes up to throw on her uniform. she gathers her things to prepare for another long shift at the 118, and she notices his keys gone, along with his work belongings.
she walks out the door after grabbing the leftovers she had spent hours preparing for someone who spent hours not caring. she walks into the station to be greeted by her real family.
“hey, y/n!” eddie says, organizing one of the trucks with buck.
buck gives her a sweet smile, noticing the abnormal lack of excitement on her face. she walks over and talks to them a bit, drained of energy but still ready to force herself through the day.
as much as she didn’t want to leave her apartment, being at the station felt more of a warm welcome. stepping in through the garage doors, the cold air from her apartment and life outside had evaporated.
the team goes upstairs to the kitchen, as bobby is making coffee for everyone. y/n leaves her extra food on the counter to show people.
“what’s all this from, y/n?” bobby asks. “you didn’t have to bring this.”
“oh, it’s just my l-“ she cuts herself off. “i made this to bring to you guys. i made the pasta myself.”
“it’s delicious!” buck says, a mouthful of pasta and covering his mouth. he tries to lighten her mood after seeing directly through her lies.
he had met cameron before, never really being a fan of him. she’d brought him to one of the gatherings, and he spent the whole time ignoring her existence, and then getting mad at her for being upset. he knew she deserved better, and honestly, he thought, she deserves him. he wanted to help her, but didn’t want to cross the line and help where he wasn’t needed.
“really, buck? couldn’t even heat it up?” hen asks, slightly disappointed but expecting nothing else from him.
they all walk away back to their own chores around the station, as bobby stays in the kitchen. “hey, y/n!” buck runs up behind her.
“yeah? you ok?”
“that’s… kinda my question to you.” he stutters a bit. “it’s just- just wanna make sure everything’s okay, you don’t seem as… bright and bubbly as normal.”
buck and y/n had been friends for a long time, knowing how each other felt all the time. they were able to connect with one another so easily, and buck knew that something was wrong with her. he missed her happy mood, that seemed to have faded away more with every shift.
“oh, i’m fine, buck.” she smiles. “it’s just been a lot of work and sleeping, and repeat.”
she lies to him again about cameron, even though he knows the truth. “y/n/n, come on. don’t lie to me.”
“what?” she peeps out.
“talk to me, please.” he begs her to open up because he just wants to make her feel better. “is it cam?”
“n-no, buck. stop, it’s fine.”
that answer alone told him everything he needed to know. he doesn’t know all the details of their relationship, but it’s almost like cam pretends they aren’t even in one.
y/n doesn’t know why she defends him so much, or why she sticks up with it. she’s hoped things will change for a while, but usually nothing looks up. she loves him, she does. at least she thinks so. she provides so much for both of them, and has put in so much energy to their relationship, only for broken promises in return. she has hope that the time she’s put in was worth it, but every day when she goes home to him it becomes weaker. being a first responder, she wants to help everyone she can. she wants to be able to fix their relationship and she wants to feel valued, for once. people tell her all the time how she saved them, and she so badly wants him to realize that everyone needs to be saved. she’s given him the world, and it’s not long before she takes it all back.
“i know it’s not. i’m here for you, and if he’s not good to you i’m gonna be-“
“buck, just drop it! i’m doing the best i can!” her voice raises in defense, and he pulls her into the locker rooms. “im drained from this relationship, right now and i cannot get into this with you right now. this is my only escape, evan.” her light tears form in her eyes before her breathing becomes sharper. the other workers look at them, but with death stares from hen, chimney, and eddie they look away. they’re listening too, they never really liked him either but figured it was none of their business. it hurts to see their friend in this situation.
“i know, it’s gonna be ok.” he pulls her into a hug in hopes to calm her down. “you didn’t make that for us, didn’t you?”
“no, i made it for him. then he came home completely wasted and told me not to make a big deal out of it. i spent my one day off making this big ass dinner for him, and he couldn’t even take a minute to say thank you.”
“look at me, y/n.” buck pulls away and places his hands on your shoulders. “it is not your fault he’s not good enough for you. he is not. good. enough.”
“no,” she whispers.
“yes,” he says. “you deserve better than what he’s giving you.”
she shakes her head and his heart breaks more. there is no way that he has given her so much shit that she doesn’t believe it’s his own fault. the tears come stronger and run down her damp cheeks. “i can’t just leave him, buck. i cant hurt him like that because some part of me still loves him.”
“i know, but it is for the better.”
“i don’t think i have the power to end things. he wouldn’t listen to me and i can’t bring myself to break his heart.” she cries.
“you need to leave him before he breaks yours any more than it already is.” y/n calls back into his chest, and he sits her down on the benches. his own eyes are becoming glossy at the pain of watching his best friend have to deal with this. he’s had his own fair share of bad relationships, but they never meant anything because he is scared of this happening. it hurts his heart to know that she’s been carrying herself through this relationship as he’s just been more weight on her shoulders.
————————————————————————
the door of the apartment swings open again, as usually. surprisingly, the smell of liquor doesn’t hit y/n’s nose. cameron walks in, placing his bags on the floor by the door. “y/n?”
“y/n? where are you?” he calls out again and she makes her way out of the bedroom. “hey, you. did you make dinner?”
“no.” she says, maintaining eye contact.
“o-oh? we don’t have leftovers?”
“no, cameron. i took them to the station.” she says. “you would remember i told you that, but you were too drunk to remember.”
“what are you talking about, y/n? i went out for drinks, i don’t know why you have to be so bitchy about it.” she’s made her decision to leave, but the names still sting inside.
“well, you don’t have to deal with it anymore.”
“what the hell is that supposed to mean? youre not actually leaving me.” he let’s out a patronizing chuckle at her words, but she stands her ground.
“i am leaving you, cameron. my stuff is in my car, and we are over.” she doesn’t move from her spot on the ground, scared to move her glued feet like she’d fall over.
he laughs again with a critical grin on his face, again. “and where do you think you’ll go? i pay for this apartment, i pay the bills. you have nothing without me. y/n.”
“i work at the best fire station with the highest ranking paramedics and firefighters out there.” she retorts back. “i’ll be just fine without you, hell, i practically have been for the past two years.”
“you’re embarrassing yourself, baby girl.” y/n’s expression scrunches up from the cringe of the pet name that she’s always hated.
“don’t ever call me that again.”
“you have no where to go, you can’t stay at your stupid job forever.” he takes a step closer, and she takes another one back.
“actually, she’s going to stay with me until she can find an apartment.” buck says, coming around the corner, sensing her fear.
cam rubs his face. “y/n, please. we can do this together. you know i love you.” his immediate switches in mood is what she can’t control anymore, and she can no longer deal with it.
“some version of me out there still loves you back, and i feel insane amounts of nothing but pity for her.” y/n spits out at him.
“you’re a fucking psycho,” he says, and buck runs over to create more distance, standing between the two. y/n turns around, running her hands through her hair, trying to disappear.
“we’re leaving, y/n/n.” buck says, gripping your waist. “let’s go.”
“fuck, whatever. get the hell out.” cameron finally moves to the side and y/n and buck walk out of y/n’s old ‘home’ for the last time.
they stand outside in the parking lot, standing side by side as a speechless y/n stares in the distance. “i won’t stay for too long, i’ve found a few nice apartments to look at.”
“don’t worry about anything, y/n. you can stay there forever if it means you’re not there anymore.”
being faced with this much kindness and loving actions overwhelms her, making even more tears that she didn’t know she had pool in her eyes. “don’t cry, please. it’s ok, i’m here.” he pulls her back in and pats the back of her hair. “why don’t you drive over to my place, i’ll meet you in the parking lot.”
they go their separate ways and start driving to his nice apartment and already, it feels more like home than hers ever did.
buck pulls out his phone in the parking lot, in his car. he dials a few numbers and pulls the phone to his ear.
“hey, maddie. you busy tonight?”
————————————————————————
going up the stairs, y/n only had the energy to bring in a single bag to his apartment tonight. they walk side by side to his door together, his arm around her shoulders. buck fumbles with his keys and looks at her red, worn out eyes.
when he unlocks the door, y/n immediately notices all her family around bucks kitchen. she places her eyes on everyone, bobby and athena, hen, ravi, chimney and maddie, even christopher and eddie are there. “hey, y/l/n, welcome home.” athena is the first to say. and for the first time of the night, a fixed smile shines through her.
“hi guys, you all crowded in here?”
“thanks to this one, we wanted to be here for you, y/n.” hen says, pointing to buck.
“you did this?” she asks, sweetly, as if they all had just wrapped her hurt heart with the bandages of their love.
“i guess you could say that.” buck smiles, not wanting to take credit, but happy that he’s finally put some light in her mind.
“y/n, come over here and show us how you made that pasta.” bobby says, calling her over to start making dinner. “maddies going to start a salad.”
“ooh! i can make margaritas!” buck exclaims, excitedly.
“um, i can get behind that!” chim says.
everyone gathered around the kitchen, y/n notices her family all around, taking in the love they’ve given her. they would never have to take the time out of their day to come hang out in bucks tiny apartment if they didn’t truly care about her.
after a while, only buck and her remain in the kitchen. as everyone else squeezes into his living room, some people literally sitting on top of each other.
“hey, i don’t know how to thank you for all of this.”
“you don’t have to thank me for anything. this,” buck says, looking around the room. “is what you’ve deserved. and i will do anything to make sure you know that.”
they keep their eyes together, feeling everything from the day come down on them. both of them have their fears, but they seem to fade away and they forget about everyone else. realizing how much he really cares about her has changed everything for her. she loves buck more than she would ever have been able to love cameron. she reaches up impulsively, grabbing the sides of his face and pulling him in. she gives him a deep kiss and buck swears he’s levitating off the ground. his heart is on fire, waiting for this moment since they met. he didn’t expect anything in return, but he will say that this is a pretty nice reward.
buck leans back and shines a toothy grin at her, and she giggles. “you are very welcome.” he says, barely being able to get words out from his happiness.
they look over after hearing tiny giggles in the room. they both look over simultaneously, seeing christopher with an adorable, shining smile at them. he’s covering his mouth, but failing to conceal himself. “hi, christopher.” buck says.
“hi, buck! hi y/n!” he says, still not being able to wipe the smile away.
back in the living room, with maddies legs draped over him, chimney says to hen with a smirk, “and just like that, i am 20 dollars richer.”
“oh come on, chim, we all knew it was bound to happen.” hen laughs and they welcome y/n and buck back over.

breathe - [r.cameron]
Tumblr media
requested: no
warnings: panic attack
wordcount: 0.8K
Rafe Cameron has never been the most likeable guy in the Outer Banks. He’s the son of Ward Cameron, one of the wealthiest guys on the island, as well as the cruellest and most manipulative. If you knew what was best for you, you stayed well away from anyone in the Cameron family.
I personally had never had any real interactions with Rafe or his family, my opinions on him based almost entirely on the words of my friends. The other teens, mostly the Pogues I hung around with, would whisper behind his back about how he was a 'spoiled rich brat' and 'arrogant' – something that only pushed him further away from any kind of meaningful social interaction.
I wouldn’t say I’m the nicest person ever, but I try my best to act friendly towards everyone I can, as you never know what someone is going through behind the scenes. I try to treat everyone with kindness, except for Rafe, who she intensely disliked. I know all too well about his 'bad boy' reputation and that makes me want to steer as far away in the opposite direction as I can.
One day, a few weeks into the first term of my senior year, I’m sitting in history class when I suddenly begin to feel faint and lightheaded. I start struggling to breathe, and my chest pulls tight, painfully even. I hastily stand, not bothering to ask to be excused, and rush from the room.
Mr Sunn calls after me, but doesn't seem too bothered by my disappearance. He definitely has worse things to worry about than a girl leaving his classroom.
I crumple to the floor in the empty hallway, leaning my back against the wall for support. My head drops to my knees, drawn up to my chest, and I cry, my throat constricting, my breathing shallow.
I’m no stranger to panic attacks, growing up in a home that resulted in many an attack, usually late at night, alone under my covers. You’d think I’d be better at dealing with them by now, but I still have no idea how to help myself through them. Waiting it out is my best and only strategy at the moment.
I become vaguely aware of someone sliding down the wall to sit beside me, their hand on my shoulder. I lift my head, vision blurry with hot tears, only to find Rafe Cameron sitting next to me.
“It's okay,” he softly mutters, his deep-set voice oddly soothing in the moment. He runs a hand through my hair, gently trying to direct my gaze to his.
I cry harder, not wanting his presence, but being unable to even communicate with anything but more tears.
“Just try to breathe, y/n. I'm here. I'll help you calm down.”
I’m honestly kind of surprised he knows my name, as I never speak to him and try to generally avoid all contact with the blond boy.
My initial reaction is to push him away, my intense dislike for him still a presence in the room. But as I look into his pretty, concerned blue eyes, I begin to realise that at this moment, Rafe isn't trying to prove a point or show off his wealth. Instead, he is trying to genuinely help me in a moment of need.
With shaky breaths, I continue to focus on him, as if the words coming out of his mouth are an anchor. Rafe continues to talk, describing his family’s boat, and how pretty the waves look in the morning sunrise. I don’t know how he knows me well enough to know that the water is my favourite thing in the world, but each sentence carries a tone of assurance that things will, indeed, get better in time.
It wasn't long until I feel my heart rate slowing down and my breathing grow more consistent. I shakily stand up, still processing the fact that it is Rafe Cameron who was the one to bring her back to reality.
We simply stand there in silence for a minute, the atmosphere filled with a strange awkwardness. I’m not quite sure how to react – I had gone from intensely disliking this boy to having feelings of admiration and gratitude towards him.
“Thank you, Rafe,” I say, my voice a mixture of surprise and appreciation. “You… you didn't have to do that for me, you know.”
At that, he smirks, a faint look of satisfaction in his expression. “I know I didn't,” he says. “It just seemed like the right thing to do.”
I smile hesitantly, my heart suddenly warming up to this boy I thought I’d known all too well. It was at that moment that I realise that maybe even the mean, rich, arrogant Rafe Cameron has a heart after all.

You had to let him in. And you had to hear him out.

Tumblr media
You’d hardly been aware of your actions when you’d left Oahu. You’d hardly left the stupid resort Are You The One? was filming at when you’d taken your phone out and found the only familiar contact that felt reliable anymore. Topper’s, of course. You wouldn’t say that you’d won him in your break up with Rafe, exactly. But he was one of your only mutual friends who didn’t for a moment question why you’d initially broken up with him. He’d been the one to console you, understanding that no matter how much you loved him—and dear God, you fucking loved him—you couldn’t be with him anymore. Couldn’t enable his bullshit. It hurt too much...you and Rafe both. Way too fucking much. Even through the haze over your thoughts, you’d recognized that as Topper answered the phone when you called, he wasn’t surprised.
“Top,” you said, voice strangely flat and devoid of emotion.
“What’s up?” he asked, immediately worried based on the sound of your voice. You didn’t answer for a moment, swept up in thought and your throat closing against the threat of you crying. He said your name and you snapped out of it, blinking rapidly. “You okay?”
“No,” you said honestly, gripping your bag in hand at your side tighter. “I’m coming to Kona.”
“You just got there like yesterday,” Topper said hesitantly, clearly anticipating that something bad had happened.
“Yeah. And you were right. I shouldn’t have come in the first place,” you muttered. Topper began to ask but you immediately, curtly, cut him off. “I don’t want to talk about it. I’m catching the first flight over. I don’t even care how much it costs I need to get the fuck out of here.” You drew in a haggard breath. “I really can’t do this anymore, Top.”
“Okay, okay, okay,” he hurried to say. “Don’t freak out. I got you. Did you book a flight?”
“Not yet,” you replied dully.
“Okay. I’ll look at them right now,” he said. You heard the sound quality of the phone shifted as he put you on speaker. He was silent for about a minute before speaking again. “Okay. There’s a flight leaving in two hours from Oahu to Kona. Can you get to the airport quick? I’ll book the ticket for you.”
“Yeah,” you replied, voice hoarse and cracking. You sniffled, suddenly flooded with emotion. “I…thanks, Top.” He said your name softly, sadly and you felt your breath hitch in your throat. “Please…don’t. Not…not now. Please?”
Topper sighed, sounding far more tired than you would’ve preferred. “Okay,” he agreed. “We’ll talk about it later. Just get to the airport. I’m not going to book you a second one if you’re fucking around.”
The attempt to make you laugh failed. Miserably. “Thank you, Top,” you said a final time before hanging up.
You took a few shallow breaths in a desperate attempt to steady yourself, but at the end of the day, it didn’t do much to calm your frazzled nerves. So, instead, you used the keyed up—if erratic—energy to focus on getting to the airport as fast as you could humanly do so. Even safety went out the window. In your haze and desire to be left alone in the meantime, and to avoid being on your phone and risk your own weakness letting you go and look at old pictures of you and Rafe, you didn’t let yourself take your phone from your pocket once you’d shoved it in there. So, instead of doing the logical thing like calling a taxi…taking a bus…literally anything normal? You decided to hitchhike your way there.
Miracle of miracles, you made it to the airport untouched and uninjured by all accounts. With your bag in hand, you shuffled through the airport. You checked in and printed a ticket so you wouldn’t have to turn your phone on. You went through security without even being conscious of your movements. You shuffled to your gate and sat, staring blankly with the extra ten minutes you had before boarding. After you were in your seat, still you didn’t seem to fully fathom what was going on…where you were, even.
When the plane took off, it was like you snapped back into your body.
You wished you hadn’t.
It turned out that trying not to cry on a plane was a lot harder when you were being hit with a torrent of emotions that threatened to sweep you entirely away. And, you also were fairly confident that there was nothing in this world that would be worse…would be more humiliating than sobbing in a plane with some fucking stranger next to you. And the guy next to you, dressed in a crisp business suit, severe look on his face, was already eyeing you as if you were a fucking bomb set to go off. So, the flight was terrible…but hey, you’d expected almost nothing less.
When the plane touched down in Kona, you were ready to scream from relief. You got off as quickly as you could and stood waiting for your baggage, your emotions all over the place and nowhere at all again. You jumped when you felt someone touch your shoulder and whipped around. Unsurprisingly, it was Topper standing behind you with a worried look on his face. Your heart skipped a beat and you frowned back at him before folding yourself into his arms in a tight hug.
“Hey, come on,” Topper said, hugging you back tightly, rubbing your back soothingly. “Let’s get your bag and get to the hotel, okay?”
Angel that he was, Topper grabbed your bag for you as it came around on the belt and then guided you to his rental car. He didn’t badger you as he drove to the hotel or even on the way up to his suite. He managed to keep it together until you reached the room. You didn’t offer a word as you got in the room, instead going directly into the bathroom and locking the door behind you. You took a long, almost scalding hot shower, and stayed as long as you could justify. But, you knew you couldn’t stall any longer.
“You gonna talk to me now?” Topper asked calmly when you finally exited the bathroom.
“I don’t…know what to say,” you replied blankly.
“How about you start with what happened,” he suggested. “I’ve…never seen you like this.”
You were silent for a few moments. You tried to think of what exactly you should say. “You…you were right. This was a stupid idea. I shouldn’t have come,” you managed to say. What you’d seen, what you’d heard all ricocheted through your head like a stray bullet and lodged itself in your heart again. You let out a shaky sigh. “It was a fucking terrible idea, Top.”
“What happened?” Topper asked. He moved in front of you, kneeling down. He grabbed your hands and waited until you looked up at him. “It’s me.” He said your name when you looked away to draw your eyes back to him. “Just talk to me. What did he…what happened?” He was cut off for a moment by the buzzing of his phone. He took it out reflexively and looked down. His brow furrowed immediately. “Why did Rafe text me and tell me your dad is there now?” His eyes locked on yours again, his gaze sharper…more concerned now. “Tell me.”
You sighed and briefly closed your eyes at the news. You were glad that Rafe wasn’t alone; that was good news. You still didn’t want to think about…any of this mess. At all. But, you gave Topper a brief synopsis of the mess that had played out. Of Thalia’s psychotic ass. Her hitting Rafe. Rafe being so…downtrodden. You being a mistake, according to Rafe. By the time you were done speaking, Topper looked quite like he was sucking on a rancid lemon.
“Fucking Christ that idiot can never make things easy for himself can he,” Topper muttered. He moved from kneeling in front of you to sit next to you. “That’s fucked. So fucked. I’m sorry.” You shrugged, not letting yourself look over at him. Topper gently nudged your shoulder and said your name softly.
You closed your eyes again and shook your head. “Please don’t,” you said, voice wobbling.
Again, Topper said your name, imploring now. “Come here.”
Despite everything inside you being stubborn, you cracked. You turned into Topper and started sobbing.  You sunk into his embrace embarrassingly quickly as you cried, holding onto him like he was your last lifeline in the world; right now he kind of was.
“I can’t believe…” you sobbed, unable to breathe properly, “and he was…”
“I know,” Topper said, running his hand soothingly up and down your back. And he did. You weren’t speaking any coherent thoughts and still it was blindly obvious what was going on—what you were thinking. “I got you.”
And he did. He held you as you sobbed yourself to sleep. He stayed with you as you walked in an emotionless haze through the whole of the following day. He sat by your side in the airport when you were going to be flying home the day after that, monitoring your face for any sign that you were going to break down. He wanted to be there for you. You loved him for it. You…you should’ve loved him more for it. But, you were starting to get to a point of wanting to lash out. It was irrational and it made you hate yourself but you needed to be by yourself for a moment. You needed to lick your wounds and deal with your torched pride. Graciously, you were torn from the reality of Topper’s intense concern by your phone ringing. Less wonderfully, it was your father calling.
“Dad,” you greeted blankly.
“I took care of it,” he said without preamble. “Everything’s being handled. Rafe’s going to be…fine. On the entertainment side, at least.”
“That’s good,” you replied, the words hollow. You stared at the door of your gate, itching for it to open already.
“Rafe’s doing okay otherwise too. I just put him up in a room with me so I could keep an eye on him. He’s been a little out of it, a little quiet. Nothing too bad though,” he explained, unprompted. You bit back the urge to point out that it was probably because he was in the room with your father and not because Rafe was actually okay.
“Oh that’s good,” you repeated. Your dad sighed and then your name slipped from his lips. Immediately you knew you were going to get a pseudo lecture; you tried to stop it. “Dad, just leave it. Please.”
“Listen, honey,” he said softly, ignoring your request. “I just…I need you to know this, okay?” He took your steely silence as a go-ahead to keep speaking. “You don’t understand why he was there, sweetheart. It’s not what you think. He didn’t…he shouldn’t have been. And he didn’t want to be.”
“But he was,” you interrupted, your voice showing emotion for the first time in the conversation.
“And I watched the footage,” your dad rebuked. “I know what was actually going on. I know what was actually said. I combed through hours of footage—any time the camera was on him, confessionals, the house and everything. I read the interviews that went into casting. All of it. I know everything that went on. And, honey, I’m telling you this as your dad. You should hear Rafe out. It isn’t what you think it was. And I know you love him. I know you want to hear him out. Don’t you think you should at least give him the chance to explain without you putting words he never said into his mouth?”
You were saved from having to reply to your father by the gate agent calling for your group to start boarding. “I have to go. My plane is boarding,” you stated curtly before hanging up the phone. You glanced over at Topper who was looking at you with a forcibly uninterested face. You rolled your eyes, cracking a half-smile for the first time in days. You pushed his shoulder weakly before standing up. “Don’t look at me like that, loser.”
“Not looking at you like anything,” Topper lied—poorly, you’d like to add—before rising to his feet as well. “Come on. Let’s get home.”
“Please,” you muttered, following dutifully behind him as you got in line to board.
Despite the brief pockets of joy that you were able to extract on your flight home, when you landed, you were back in this place of despondence and misery. You made your way home in a cab, refusing Topper’s offer for a ride. And when you got home you turned off your phone entirely and laid in your bed in a cocoon of pathetic misery that made you hate yourself all the more. It felt like you were mourning your relationship with Rafe. Just now. After months of not being together. This…this felt final in a strange sort of way. A way that made you sad. It went on for days, you only leaving your bed to do the bare minimum to keep yourself going. Your entire apartment became a den of sadness that you didn’t know when you’d be able to peel yourself out of it.
Often, your mind oscillated between missing Rafe and hating Rafe. Mourning your love for him and longing for it. It was disorienting and infuriating. It felt like it’d never fucking end. You barely were conscious of the fact that people would be concerned that you weren’t answering your phone at all—it didn’t even cross your mind, in truth. You didn’t care. All you could think of was the resigned look on Rafe’s face, the quiet acceptance, when he’d been hit. It wasn’t surprise. It was just…tolerance. It burned you. And if you bitterly contrasted that to the smiles he’d had with you…even when you weren’t together…it made you feel sick.
Reality came knocking again though.
Literally.
When you’d been home and steadfastly ignoring absolutely everything for about a week, there was a knock at your door. As if your brain suddenly registered how long it had been since you’d spoken to…well, anyone…you winced and stood from your couch where you’d settled a few hours earlier. You were certain it was Topper at the door ready to chew you out for scaring him by not answering. And, if you were being honest with yourself, you probably deserved it too. You sighed as you moved to open the door, resigned to being scolded.
“Listen, Top,” you began as soon as you started opening the door.
You immediately fell silent.
That…was not Topper.
That was Rafe.
You were stunned to see him. Far more than you cared to admit it. You glanced him over, feeling a little bit like a computer being forced to reboot. His bleached hair—which had looked annoyingly good on him, even though you hated seeing it—had been cut. Now, with his hair shorter, it looked like he had the frosted tips he’d always made fun of Topper for having when your friend had rocked the look. A stupid detail to focus on by all accounts. But, if you were looking at his hair instead of his face…you might be able to keep it together.
Your name falling from Rafe’s lips was what brought you out of your state. “Can I come in?” he asked, voice strangely gentle.
“I…” you trailed off. You didn’t know how to finish it. I want you to come in and never leave? I don’t think that’s a good idea? I want you to leave? I never want to see you again? No. None of that. So instead you shook your head to clear it. “Umm…sure.” You stepped to the side and let him in, shutting the door behind him. You went back to your spot on the couch and sat, looking at him warily. “What are you doing here?”
Rafe shrugged, not looking at you. He stood awkwardly, shifting from foot to foot in a way that was so unlike him it was jarring. “Topper said you haven’t been answering him,” Rafe explained. “Some, uh, some of your friends called me too. Said you haven’t been answering them either.”
“Phone’s been off,” you replied, shrugging in turn. “Been tired, don’t feel like dealing with everyone else right now.” You gave him a flat look. “Again, why are you here, Rafe?”
“I need to talk to you,” he said, sounding almost apologetic for it.
You blew out a breath and closed your eyes. You leaned your head back against your couch and resisted the bitter urge to laugh. “Here we go,” you muttered. You raised your head and looked at him. “We’re really gonna do this again?” You shook your head. “Rafe I’m tired. Of this. There…what conversation are we going to have that’ll fix anything? Oh yeah. None.”
He bit his lip and shifted, uncomfortable. He looked terrified and it made you feel on edge yourself. “I know. I know…I know you feel that way. But…I…please?” he said. He gave you an imploring look and said your name pointedly. “Please hear me out. This…this whole thing? It isn’t what you think.”
You let out an ugly snort, unable to stop yourself from glaring at him. “Oh, then by all means. Sure. Go ahead and try to sell me on another story, Cameron. This oughta be good, right?” you posed, acidic in presentation. He flinched at the words—the tone—but you couldn’t bring yourself to feel bad for it. You shifted. “And can you sit down for fuck’s sake if you’re gonna tell me some story? You’re making me nervous just standing there.”
Rafe nodded jerkily and immediately sat on the chair next to the couch. His eyes were focused intently on you. “I never wanted this to happen. Any of it. I wanted…I wanted to get better. For…you at first. But…then for me. But that…it didn’t matter at first…when we…when we first broke up,” he began. You didn’t bother reacting, simply raising a brow to prompt him to keep speaking. “In the time that we, uh, weren’t talking after we broke up? When I…when I went on the bender we talked about?” Your nose scrunched up, remembering well the time period that very nearly killed him. “That was when I decided to get clean. When I went to my first meeting. I realized that, uh, not remembering most nights was actually…actually, uh, kind of scary. It wasn’t…helping anymore.”
“Real big of you to realize,” you muttered, shaking your head. You folded your hands tightly in front of you and looked at him. “Look, Rafe, what does this even—”
“Please just let me get through this,” he said, openly sounding like he was begging. “When I was on the bender…I guess I applied to be a contestant. I don’t…remember it. They…I…I only saw my audition tape because of your dad. And I…I was so messed up. Everything on the applications and in the tape were incoherent. I…I don’t know how…” He trailed off, swallowing hard and shook his head. “I didn’t remember applying for the stupid show.” He said your name once more, softer, begging you to hear him and believe him. “I…you know I just wanted you again.”
“I don’t know anything,” you denied, voice cool. “Don’t bring me into this Rafe.”
He sighed and scratched the back of his neck nervously. “They called me and said that I’ve been selected. You…I don’t know. It was going to be a lot of fucking money to get out of it. Money I don’t have. Money that my dad wasn’t gonna front me. I…I needed to go. It was the only way. It…it felt like the only way. I…should’ve just talked to your dad first. There were about fifty clauses that could’ve gotten me out of it.” He shook his head and let out a laugh. “But I went. And…the second I got there I knew how big of a fucking mistake it was.”
His face went sour and he stopped speaking for a moment. His eyes were locked on the coffee table between you two. He wasn’t speaking. Wasn’t blinking. Didn’t look like he was breathing. It went on for a few seconds too long and you shifted.
“Rafe,” you prompted quietly, narrowly resisting the urge to reach out and touch him.
He cleared his throat, snapping out of it. “The second I met…Thalia…I knew she had to be the one for me on the show. The way that she was from the beginning? The…the type of person she was? It was the exact type of person I knew I deserved. And I…it made sense why we’d be a match to the producers. I was…a mess, obviously. But…when you left…as…as you should have…I’m…I’m not discounting that,” he emphasized, “it just changed something. I didn’t think I deserved as good as I got from you. Didn’t think that I deserved anything good. So, when she was awful to me…to anyone in the house? I knew she had to be for me. Because who the fuck else would deserve that?”
You stiffened at his words, looking incredulously at him. “No one!” you interrupted. “Why would you think that way? You…you didn’t…you were not a match the producers are fucking idiots who care about making a show that sells, not about the contestants!”
“I know,” Rafe said quietly. “Doesn’t mean that I deserve good things in life. Because I have been…repeatedly and constantly fucking horrible. I’m…I’m not blind to that. I…there’s a reason people don’t want to help me or give me credit for good things. It’s because I have so much shit to make up for. The tiny slivers of good I do don’t cancel out the heaps of bad I’ve done. I know that. I…I do.”
“What the hell are you saying?” you demanded. “Really! I’m fucking lost here, Rafe! You…you are a fucking idiot, man. All I have ever done is love you and try to get you to let me love you. Literally constantly. Since we were kids Rafe! All I have done is try to make you see that you do deserve credit—that you do deserve help.”
Rafe closed his eyes. “I know you have,” he agreed. “But…that doesn’t make it…right. If I deserved better, don’t you think I’d get it? But you? You? You deserve someone who takes care of you and who loves you. Someone who can stand by your side and be proud and unflinching. Someone who doesn’t care about what other people think.” He let out a laugh—it didn’t sound very amused. “Someone who will actually defend you.” He looked seriously at you. “I couldn’t even step in and say anything when Thalia was bad mouthing you. And you think I’m gonna believe I deserve someone as good as you? Yeah, no. I’m too much of a fucking coward. I never went against her. I deserved to be paraded around that stupid fucking villa by her and…”
He trailed off and you felt sick for a moment. You’d seen the show. It wasn’t hard to guess where she’d dragged Rafe off to or anything of that nature. You clenched and unclenched your jaw, trying to force yourself to relax.
“Tell me something, though, Rafe. Did you…want to be dragged around by her? Did you want anything you…did with her? Just…be honest.” His face scrunched up. “It’s not a trick question. I’m not trying to make you feel bad.” He shook his head. “And how often did she tear into you for no reason? How many times? And…and for that matter, how many times did she put her hands on you and hit you—hurt you?” You gesticulated wildly, trying to help convey your point, but really just helping alleviate some of your frustration. “You didn’t deserve to be paraded around and used. And of course you didn’t go against her!”
“I hurt you,” Rafe said, his tone severe, his eyes dark as he thought of it.
“Dear God,” you groaned. “Yeah, you did fucking hurt me Rafe. Guess what? Normal fucking Tuesday for us when we’re not together, isn’t it? We always manage to fuck up and hurt each other. But guess what, Rafe? You were in an impossible situation. I get that. I know that, even though you apparently don’t.”
“Doesn’t make it okay,” he argued. “I don’t…you shouldn’t forgive me for that?”
You rolled your eyes. “Pretty sure I’m the one who gets to decide that,” you shot back. You sighed and gave him an imploring look of your own. “Rafe…why would I ever hold it against you? Especially when I know you were trying not to get hit? I’m begging you, for once in your life, use the brain in your pretty little head and think. Why would I ever blame you for that?”
He didn’t look sold. “I don’t know, because I hurt you,” he said as if that were the only thing that mattered in the world. “Because I didn’t prioritize your feelings like I should have.”
So, you changed tactics.
“What would you…” you trailed off. “How would you feel if it were me, Rafe?”
The look on Rafe’s face immediately hardened. “Well, I would have killed him,” he said, voice harsh. “No one’s putting a hand on you.” You nodded, cocking your head to the side. His angry face cracked and he sighed, slumping back into the chair. “I wouldn’t hold it against you. I’d just be…I’d just be worried.”
“Yeah, exactly,” you said softly, looking at him, eyes soft and sad. “Now you know how I feel.” Slowly, you scooted down the couch until you were next to him. You reached out and gently grabbed his hand. He looked at it and then up at you, startled. “Listen to me, okay?” He kept looking at you, attention raptly on you. “I love you, Rafe. I love you so much. I always will. The…nothing about this experience was good for you.” He went to add something but you cut him off. “Or me. But that doesn’t matter—not when you’re the one in the most pain here. And no matter what? It doesn’t change that I love you.”
You watched as tears rose in his eyes. He immediately retracted his hand from your hold and leaned away, his head on the back of the chair. He closed his eyes as if trying to stop the tears, but it didn’t work. You saw the tears sliding down his face even with his eyes closed. He let out a small sob and you felt tears rise in your own eyes—impressive when you’d thought you’d run out of tears for the week. Moving slowly, you reached out again and grabbed both of his hands, holding them and giving a reassuring squeeze. He raised his head after a moment and opened his eyes.
He was sad—so sad.
He was in pain—so much pain.
“I…I don’t think that I…don’t think I could’ve stopped it without you,” he admitted, voice shaky.
You frowned. “I don’t think you would’ve, no,” you agreed, hating it even as the words fell out. “You’re too convinced you deserve that. But you don’t. You deserve love. Real love.”
He let out a sigh and closed his eyes again, squeezing your hands. “Thanks for calling your dad,” he said lamely after a moment.
“I hope he tears them several new fucking assholes,” you replied back quietly. Without much thought behind it, you raised your joined hands up to your lips and pressed a soft kiss to his hands. You heard his breath hitch and your brain caught up with the action. You immediately released him, eyes wide. “I’m sorry. I-I’m sorry. Habit. That was…sorry.”
Slowly himself this time, Rafe reached out and took your hands again, squeezing them. “It’s okay,” he assured you. You squeezed his hands back and offered a small smile. “I am sorry. So sorry. I just…you deserved…you deserve so much better.”
“It’s not…not your fault, Rafe,” you said, at a loss for anything else to say. The words were only partially true and you both knew it.
“I’m still sober, by the way,” Rafe blurted out, seemingly out of nowhere. You furrowed your brow and his face flushed. “I mean…I refused to drink anything or take anything. They…they tried to make me but I refused.” His face was grim and drawn, clearly remembering something. And you had no doubt that those conversations had been awful—even with his stubborn nature, you could only imagine what production crew and cast mates had said to try to get him to drink.
You squeezed your still joined hands and shuffled a little bit closer. You already felt terrible for having thrown that in his face when you were pissed—now you just felt worse. “I’m proud of you,” you said, nodding encouragingly at him. “That’s amazing. I can’t…imagine how hard that was. I know it had to be terrible.”
He gave you a shaky smile and then looked down, the look disappearing. “I’m sorry I didn’t warn you,” he said, eyes locked on his lap. “It all…it all happened so fast. Before I knew what was going on really…I was already on a plane to Hawaii. They took our phones the second we got there. I just…I’m sorry. For all of it.”
“Rafe, I don’t blame you for that part at all. I…I wish you would’ve told me…but, I get it. That…they isolate you. I just…I get it,” you said, unable to form your own coherent thoughts as you absorbed that. You had figured it was something like that, but the confirmation just made your irritation spike.
“Do you…” he began, the words seeming to get stuck on his tongue. “Do you think you can forgive me?”
You looked at him, mystified. “What?” you asked.
He looked up at you again, his eyes wide and fearful. “I know it was terrible and I shouldn’t have asked. I’ve done so much to—” he started rambling.
You cut him off by putting your hand gently over his mouth. A habit you’d long since picked up for when he was talking too damn much or running his mouth like an idiot. And he returned with the habit he’d long since picked up of licking your hand to get it away from him. Unlike your usual response to that though, you didn’t move your hand this time.
“After you have undergone…all of that bullshit on that fucking show…of which I know almost nothing and I still know it was bad…after all that…me forgiving you is what you’re worried about?” you asked incredulously.
You moved your hand at that point and watched his cheeks pink at that question. “Yeah,” he admitted easily enough.
“You…Rafe…I need you to get into fucking therapy,” you said, shaking your head. “Why the hell would I be mad at you for getting taken advantage of? Sober you wasn’t the one who applied. It was fifty thousand dollars on the line that you didn’t have. You were being…abused. Why the hell would I be mad at you? What am I supposed to forgive you for? Being an idiot when you’re drunk or high? Well then sure, baby, that’s forgiven as long as you stop doing it.”
“But—”
“No,” you emphasized. “Rafe, I need you to listen to me. Again, I love you. More than anything. I need you to go to therapy. I need you to take it seriously. I need you to get better. Seeing you hurt like this? Seeing you hurt yourself, let others hurt you…thinking you deserve it? I can’t do that. Baby, I need you to understand that you are, independent of everything, worthy of love and affection. Just as you are now. No changes. And I need you to get that I already do love you. Your friends love you. Hell, my friends still love you after all this shit. The whole damn thing. I need you to know that. You are not alone, you should never be or feel alone. You deserve good things. You deserve us all in your life.”
This time, Rafe’s the one to pull his hands away from you. You see his eyes well up again and notice that his chest was moving erratically. He looked away from you, sniffling and your heart shattered. You moved to the edge of the couch, leaning over into his space slowly, giving him ample time to tell you to fuck off or to move himself. He didn’t.
“Baby,” you implored softly, hand on his knee delicately. He let out a shuddering breath and then you moved closer still and wrapped your arms around him. He froze for a moment, but melted into your embrace, going as far as pulling you fully onto him so he could hug you tighter. You responded in kind by wrapping your arms tightly around him. “I got you.”
“I’m so—”
“Stop apologizing,” you urged. “I don’t want you to be sorry. Not for me.” You pressed a kiss to his temple. You pushed your hurt aside, knowing that it wasn’t at this moment, the biggest hurdle—you’d get there when you got there. He was more important in this moment. “We’ll get you through this. We’ll get through this, baby.” You pressed a kiss to his forehead and let out a sigh, tightening your arms. “Don’t worry, baby. I got you.”
“I love you,” he choked out.
Your heart stuttered in your chest and you forced yourself to keep breathing normally. “I love you too,” you assured him.
You really fucking did—God help you, you did.

College Kavinsky 1.0
This story is based on 3 years post college admissions (So he’s a junior now). Peter and Lara Jean are not together; they broke up amicably (I am Covinksy stan but let a girl have a maladaptive daydream).
Reader is an afro latina curvy girl (Midsize or plus size the choice is yours) however as we have read multiple fan fiction and fictional books we all imagine ourselves as main character so feel free to do so 🥰
I’m sensitive about my shit but i hope you like it 
Warnings: curse words, slight vulgarity.
GIF credits below
Tumblr media
“Where’s Y/N, where’d she go?” Peter asked, looking around for you he was hoping for an opportunity to talk to you, seeing your last interaction was a bit awkward. 
“Oh she left?” Ivy  (your roommate) 
“Why?” he asks taking a sip of his beer 
“Oh that's because Cameron (Ivy’s boyfriend) said it was invite only” Ivy answers 
Tonight the Fraternity was throwing a party, post new chapter  president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, and social chair as the previous seniors had graduated. 
Peter had been mentioned as the new Treasurer a promotion from social chair and Cameron his best friend was given the position as Secretary as the board recognized Cameron’s efforts in assisting his pledge brother and best friend in chapter activities. 
“CAM WHAT THE HELL?!” He asked giving Cameron an incredulous look 
“Sorry shit I didn’t even think about it.” he shrugged in response You had helped Ivy and the other girlfriends set up for the party post the event, and typically this party was the only by invite only party due to the fact that the new leaderships would be discussing exciting plans for the new year and only long term girlfriends and family would be invited back to the Frat house. But honestly the new chapter leadership always got to invite who they wanted. Anyway 2 hours had passed and there was no way you were making your way back to the house. 
Honestly you had no idea what she was talking about during your last interaction all Peter said was he liked your shoes and boy did Ivy scold you. Ivy knew Peter liked you; she didn’t want to tell you because it was like a secret between her, Cam, and Peter, however you were convinced she was a sucker for love looking at your recent interaction with rose colored glasses. 
~Flashback~
“Why didn’t you say something back?” 
“I did, I said thank you” “You were supposed to say oh thanks i like your watch your chain i don’t fucking know follow up with something!” you open your mouth to protest but she continues “What do guys like?” 
You shrug “Cars, sports, fishing” you shrug not understanding her question 
“So a guy complimenting your shoes would mean?” 
“He thinks they are cool” you feel the thud of the pillow hit your body “HEY!” 
“You are impossible! I am setting you up with one of the finest men on campus! And you fumble the damn play” 
You roll your eyes and huff looking up to the ceiling “I think you are looking into this too much” 
“I AM NOT!” she stresses
“Ivanna, why would Peter want me?” 
“WHY WOULDN’T HE LOOK AT YOU! YOU’RE HOT IN FACT” she moves closer “MANY GUYS HAVE ASKED ME ABOUT YOU ESPECIALLY WHEN WE GO OUT TOGETHER!” she grabs your shoulders, shaking you a bit hoping to shake some sort of sense in your brain. 
You hold a look of confusion “what?” you respond slightly above a whisper
“YES PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME ABOUT YOU!” she takes in a deep breath to calm down realizing she was a bit too passionate “Guys have asked me if you have a boyfriend , can I hook them up, but I didn’t because they are fuck boys. Peter is not”
“So Peter asked you to hook us up?” “NO!” she responds quickly hoping she didn’t give away her scheme
Your brow quirks “okay so what makes you believe that he likes me?” “A girl knows things” “Uh-Huh” you smirk and walk away to grab the wine bottle. 
“So next time you see him”You interrupt “If there is a next time”
“Oh there will be trust me” You roll your eyes “you need to work that charm”
You squeal “Ow” you say in response to her pinching your side 
“And you need to work your charm, tu entiendes?” 
“SI! Damn!” 
“GREAT” she smiles
“So can we discuss the party now? How was it?” “Actually it was okay” She shrugs boring kinda because it was like a meeting with beer and food and games involved. 
“Oh” 
“Yea” she says snuggling into your side and focuses on the movie ahead. 
It has been almost 3 years since your last relationship. Things were said to you that made you question yourself, question the value you could add in a relationship etc, so it was hard that, the Peter Kavinsky, one of the most popular frat brothers on campus, liked you.  I mean you’ve seen the previous relationships/situationships/hookup girls they looked nothing like you so much so when Ivy hinted at him liking you made you think she was the most delusional person on this planet called earth. 
She was right, there was a next time, this time it was the homecoming party and as we know each frat house would partner up and try to outdo not only the previous year but make it a party that no one ever stopped talking about. 
“You have to come to the party!” Ivy insists 
“Ivy, it’s gonna be a lot of people” “SO!?” 
“Sooo, .......ugh......... I will come” you finally give in after she begged you for 2 days to go after your initial ‘no’
“YAY! Lets go shopping!” 
“Okay!”
In true homecoming fashion you both had to adorn Stanfords alma mater colors. You both decide on an outfit that suits you best. Your body is buzzing with anxiety as you both get ready. Last minute runs to get nails, eyebrows done, running to the liquor store to get pregame (A/N: drink responsibly), running to grocery store to get last minute late night snacks(Ice cream, chips, fruit, cookies). 
“Ready?!” Ivy asks you taking the last sip of her chaser “As I will ever be!” you respond 
She smiles and links arms together as you both walk out to meet your uber driver (A/N:  don’t drink and drive) 
As you pull up to the house the line extends way beyond what you initially thought. 
“OMG! Ivy” you look at the line feeling very overwhelmed and intimidated how were all these people going to fit in that house? How many kegs did they even buy to be sufficient for all these people? Isn’t there like a fire code or something? When the lines were small the house was packed you can’t even imagine all of them fitting.
“I know how it looks but trust me it’s gonna be fun!” she beams at you “Let me text Cameron” 
In a few minutes he appears from the front “HI BABY!” she jumps in his arms “Look who I convinced to come” they both look at you
“Y/N! Glad you made it” he says giving you a side hug
“Yea, thanks for the invite.” you smile still feeling like this was a bad idea. To be fair you never attended any of the homecoming parties or activities. Too many people, drunk people, pissed people, sad people, happy people, everyone everywhere it just wasn’t your thing, 
“Come on!” he says, ushering you two in you hear some groans and curse words as you two were allowed in. Inside the house you can breathe a little. It wasn't even full yet a few extra bodies were floating around, certainly not what you imagined. You hear the president give an order to move one Keg out to the backyard. Another voice is heard confirming all rooms are locked and secure. 
“Alright last meeting!”  You hear as you feel Ivy pull you back  “We know the mission?” Mark the president comments 
They respond “EPIC PARTY, EPIC FRAT HOUSE! TOP FRATERNITY OF STANFORD!” They cheer “LETS GOOO!!!” you look around and see Peter joining the cheering
“AND PLEASE NO GIRLS IN THE ROOMS I DON’T CARE HOW MUCH YOUR DICKS GET HARD SEND THEM HOME!” Sean the Vice President adds in making them all laugh 
“Here we go '' Ivy whispers to you as they open the door, in a moment the room quickly gets filled up the music is so loud the base in the speakers is vibrating through you. You watch as people grab cups, grab bottles of beer, grab the premade jello shots and make their way to the dance floor as you nurse your liquor punch? That's what they called it anyway. 
After a while your body loosens up you start to care less about the surroundings and you start moving to the music. Ivy had left your side and returned and left again so much so that you didn’t care anymore you were having your own mini party in the very distant corner of the living room which didn’t have any couches? How come you just realized? Actually all the seating was missing. 
You tip your head back to get the last drop in your cup and frown you move from your corner hoping to find no one occupying it and make it to the kitchen 
“SPEAK OF THE DEVIL! Y/N!” 
You turn to look behind you and there stood Peter (of course you notice him first), Ivy, Cam, and a few of the other frat brothers. You wave before getting more of the liquor punch whatever they put in it was really working its way in your system. You walk over and greet them. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING?" Sean asks
“OH I HAVE I’VE BEEN AROUND!” “THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME SEEING YOU WE’VE SEEN IVY LIKE A BILLION TIMES” You roll your eyes “WE ARE NOT ATTACHED AT THE HIP” and you weren’t you didn’t need Ivy to babysit you, you had fun the introvert way you know observing people and their mannerisms, argument over there, dancing over here, conversation in that corner, oooh trip up the steps
You watch as Peter smirks and that makes you blush, you quickly look away “what are you drinking?” you ask Ivy
“Oh girl i don’t know” she takes a sip “beer?” she takes another “i think i mixed beer with punch” You make a face “ew”
“Gross right?” you nod “Too drunk to care” she throws it back. You laugh in response. When you turn back to the group Peter is gone and your heart drops a little but not enough to care. 
You walk away from the circle and make your way around the crowd. A few guys stop you trying to flirt but it's a wash, they were way too drunk much more than you and were now just saying anything ‘like your tits, let me suck your pussy’ you cringe as you think about it. You spot Peter not too far away dancing. Of course he is surrounded by mostly girls and of course the one who he seems to be chummy with is the girl that fits the aesthetics of his recent situationships. You roll your eyes, fuck Ivy for making you think this guy even liked you. You were better off having a secret crush than hoping he had any interest. The night goes on and your mood is semi sour, not too much more so slight irritation. Thank God for your corner because you need a wall to lean on, heels, no seats, and alcohol are not the best combo. You look down at your clock and see it is 1am time for you to head out, you know Ivy wouldn’t mind hell you haven’t even seen her or texted her in the past 2 hours. You shoot a text saying you were going to The Crispy Bun, a hole in the wall burger bar that not many people knew about. It had a very retro vibe with a modern spin. 
You push yourself off the wall, stand in line for way too long for the restroom and head towards the front. 
“Y/N!” you hear Ivy and God did you roll your eyes 
“YEA!” you fake a smile
“WHERE YOU GOING?” 
You notice Peter and Sean, and what seemed to be Peter’s interest for the night walking up
“OH I UMM WAS GONNA GO TO CRISPY” 
“OOOOH YESSS!”  She pinches your side 
You squeal again “OW WHAT THE FUCK IVANNA!” She squints and looks at you “YOU WERE GONNA GO WITHOUT ME??” 
“I TEXTED YOU!” You feel yourself getting angry 
She pulls out her phone “OH SHIT YOU DID, SORRY FRIEND!” She throws her arms around you
“WHAT’S CRISPY?” Sean asks
“YOU DON’T KNOW? THEY HAVE THE BEST BURGERS LETS GO!” she says rallying up the small group. 
God no,  this can’t be happening. You were happy to just walk and have a nice burger in your drunken state now you had to be there as Peter and this girl would be flirting right in front of you. 
The group leaves, all 6 of you. You do your best to lighten up your mood, joining Ivy in her singing and giggling. Eventually you guys stop and she links arms with you pulling you close
“This is the time to make your move” she whispers in your ear You scoff “Please not this again” “What?” she looks at you and then back at the guys
“Ivy, he brought a girl, what are you even?” 
She interrupts you “Olivia? That’s Sean’s girlfriend!” 
You blush “oh” “You thought that was some girl he liked?”
“It look...” She interrupted again “Well you are wrong”
“What you two whispering about over there?!” Cameron asks 
“NOTHING!” Ivy sings in response. Ivy goes back to singing, and this time you happily join in. Maybe she was right because why would Peter tag along. You finally make it to The Crispy Bun. 
“Hi, how many?” the host asks “Hi Hannah!”  you greet
“Y/N!, Omg i haven’t seen you in like forever” the older lady comments “I know class and all” She puts her hand on her chest  “I get it girl”
“We have 6” “Ooooo I won’t be able to sit you guys for like an hour. But if you want there’s many seats by the bar I think you guys can sit in pairs, but as people leave just ask the bartender to move you closer to each other. Does that work?” 
“Yes it’s perfect!” Ivy responds. “And I’m starrrvviingg” You give her look what the hell does she mean by that's perfect? Was she planning on sitting with you and ignoring Cam
You feel her grab your hand and place it on Peter's hand. If the sky opened up and swallowed you now you wouldn’t even be mad.
“Peter take care of her!” 
“Scouts honor” he responds in a calm manner 
“Okay great here are the menus there’s a pair in the middle and and then on each side of the bar, I think” 
“Dibs on middle!” Sean comments pulling Olivia along with him
Your heart races as Peter pulls you through the busy bar, unbeknownst to you he chose the area that seemed to be a bit more calm. He helps you sit on the stool. You thank him sheepishly as he sits on his.
“No problem, so what’s good to eat here Y/L/N?” Y/L/N you like that nickname “Oh umm there’s a lot actually!” you open up the menu so you can both look at it. Peter stands up and moves his stool closer. You blush but try to hide it behind your big  bouncy hollywood style curls. You were a sucker for big hair so of course you had to put in those large rollers in your hair. “They have like gourmet burgers and then the classics” 
“What do you get?” he asks You go to answer but are interrupted by the waitress “Hey guys what can I get you?” You two don’t say much, keeping the conversation light until the food comes out
“MMMM” He moans, throwing his head back. 
“It’s good right” 
“I can’t believe I didn’t know about this place, shit where have I been?” 
“Under a rock” you respond sarcastically. He chuckles in response 
It’s quiet for a while as you two eat, he then looks down at your shoes and smiles. 
“So why you giving me the cold shoulder Y/L/N” he asks looking at you dead on 
Your jaw drops as you watch him pick up one of your fries and plops it in his mouth 
“I have not!” 
“You were giving me the cold shoulder not too long ago” He adds picking up another fry 
“I was not” you blush
He smirks and takes one last bite of his burger “So what was it then?” 
You blush some more and say “I thought you were just complimenting my shoes and...” you pause to think 
He quirks his brow “And?” 
You respond in a soft tone almost whispering “I just didn’t think you... were... interested” 
He scoffs amused “Well I am!” he confirms as he eats another one of your fries
“Do you want my fries?” you ask “Yes they are soo good!” 
“You can eat my leftover burger full now” you offer pushing the plate towards him “Nice” Perfect reason to have boys around they finish your food 
After he finishes he finally speaks “So now that you know I am interested” You blush “Can we get this show on the road, tired of looking at you from afar” “Sure” you blush
“Come here” he pulls you closer and angles your swivel stool to face him while both his legs cage you in 
“What would you like to know about me Peter?’ you ask 
“Everything” You blush and look “I love your smile” “Man you’re laying it in thick” 
He chuckles, throwing his head back “Nah I just wanna know more, you know?” 
“You gotta ask so I know what to tell you?” “Any love interests?” “No? Maybe” 
“Last boyfriend?” “3 years ago?” “Why’d you break up?” “Long story short he cheated” “Favorite TV Show?” “Bob’s Burgers”
“Nice” 
“Siblings”
“None” “Only child wow” you blush pushing the hair behind your ear 
You two continue and eventually you loosen up and ask him the same if not similar questions 
“What?” you ask, focusing back on his eyes. You had done the Marilyn Monroe Triangle method ( A/N: look at youtube, tiktok, etc), not that you did it intentionally just something you would do from close proximity or from a distance. You liked the details of things you noticed. 
He smirked and pulled you even closer, hands caressing your outer things, your eyes widened a bit as he leaned in. “I said, if I asked you out what would you say?” “Oh!” you giggle “Yes duh” 
“You guys want anything else?” 
“Want dessert?” He asks you “Uh no I’m good” you say not wanting to look like a glutton 
“We are good” 
“Alright together or separate checks” 
“Together!”  he responds quickly reaching in his back pocket for his wallet
“Oh I was gonna..” you say reaching for your bag  
He stops you “Consider this our first unofficial first date and if you pull out your card I swear to god Y/L/N” 
You stop midway “Thanks Peter” you say sheepishly 
“Don’t mention it, so about that first date” “What are you two love birds talking about?” Olivia teases
He smiles at her “private things, what's up?” he asks straightening, up looking across to see that Cam, Ivy, and Sean were making their way towards you two
“Oooh private things” She throws her arm around Peter, and caresses his face and you realize the uncomfortable expression 
“You guys done?” “Yea we gotta go back bro, it's been 2 hours cleaning helping get home all that Frat house shit”��
“Oh shit I forgot” 
“Because you’re busy flirting your balls off!” Sean adds
“Fuck off” Sean “ready?” he asks you 
“Oh yea”  you say standing up
You guys walk in pairs now you two being in the middle 
“So about that official first date” he asks lowly not wanting anyone else to hear 
“Oh yea I would love to” you look up at him 
“Yes! I need your number” He said handing you his phone. He smiles down at you and throws his hands around your shoulders pulling you in. 
You guys reach the Frat house and he looks down at you. You look to your side and notice Olivia looking at you both you can’t read her expression, it was odd though “Text me when you get home safe” “Awww Peter” Olivia comes over and pinches his cheek. He rolls his eyes shrugging her off “what about me do you care if I make it home safe?” 
He gives her a deadpan look “of course i do liv” he responds sarcastically 
You smile and rub his arms “I’ll text you Peter” you say looking up at him he smiles and kisses your cheek.

HI. @crees-a
HELLO. It’s me your dca secret skeleton. I am. Super duper late but we just had a death in the family so things have been WILD.
ANYWAYS. I saw you liked romantic stuff but I kept scrapping those ideas because it was just not writing right and I honestly didn’t have a very good plot idea to begin with buuuuut —
In spirit of Halloween (yes it’s still Halloween what do you mean it’s November 19th) i gift youuuuu A SPOOKY / MILDLY ANGSTY DCA ONE SHOT THING. it’s the best I could do at the moment so I do hope you like it. thank you for your patience!!!!!
(i also dropped a dca fic MASTERLIST for you because i wasn’t able to write a good romantic one shot 😭🫶))
__________
It had been so, so long since the daycare was open. After the incident almost a year ago
(Cameron Bryce, Age 8, sustained severe trauma to the base of the cranium, resulting in 4 emergency surgeries, a concussion so severe he wouldn’t wake up and parents filing a lawsuit against Fazbear Ent.)
it had been quiet. Too quiet. He missed the noise, as crazy as it seemed. He missed the footsteps, the echoes of his name being called out from the lips of the little ones he grew to care for so deeply. He missed the stares he’d get from parents during pickups or dropoffs, and he missed the subtle glares from passer-bys or employees that hated him for no other reason than to hate.
“Don’t hate, Sunny.” She’d said. Miss Ruby was nice. He liked her. Even if she didn’t like Moonie.
"No matter what you see, how angry you become, don't hate. Even if justified, hate only destroys. Doesn't bring justice. Won't fix what's wrong.” she’d told him.
“Hate'll destroy you. Eats away. Becomes part of you. Changes you. Eventually you become what you hate."
Sunny tried his hardest not to hate. He tried not to hate the coworkers that sent him to Part’s and Services. He tried not to hate when they’d strap him and Moon to that awful table. When they’d poke and prod at them, ignoring their pleas. When they’d administer those icky shocks that hurt and stung and burnburnburnburnBURNS- IT BURNS- until he couldn’t think anymore. Until he couldn’t move. Until Moonie came out. Sunny tried not to think of those times. He didn’t like hurting people, honest! He wasn’t a- a rulebreaker! No no no no no. Sunny followed the rules. Sunny was good.
But Sundrop missed it. He missed it all. Well, maybe not the torture-’We could definitely go without the shocks,’- but he missed it. He missed he daycare, he missed the children, he missed his job. He was CREATED for this, for heavens’ sake!
But he held out hope. ‘Soon.’ he thought. “Soonsoonsoon!! The kids’ll be back in NO TIME! I just know it!’
(Charlie Jo, Age 6, broken ribcage, punctured lung and severe hemorrhaging to the neck and surrounding areas)
“C-Clean up! Clean up, clean up, CLEAN UP!!” Sunny frantically ran back and forth throughout the daycare. Everything, EVERYTHING had to be perfect for when the kids came back!! And he’d make sure it would be.
‘Sun. Sunny. Stop. It’s already been a year. The daycare isn’t reopening.’ He pointedly ignored the deep voice echoing in the recesses of his mind. He hadn’t heard from his brother in sosososo long. But that’s okay! All that matters was the kids. The kids. ALL that matters is getting the daycare open again, all that matters is making sure the children are SAFE and SOUND! Naptime would be suspended, yesyes.
‘Methinks you talk too much.’
“Did I say that outloud?” Sunny asked the empty room. “Oopsie.”
‘You’re being ridiculous, Sun.’
“Am not!”
‘Are too.’
“Am not!!”
‘Are too!’
“UGH! You are such a MEANIE, Moon!!” Sunny spoke, exasperated. “You KNOW the daycare has to be in TIPPY-TOP SHAPE for the kiddos! Everything has to be super-duper clean and ready!” Sundrop justified, sanitizing the ballpit the fourth time that day.
It was always the same. Charge, clean, clean, charge, clean again, charge maybe, and clean all night.
The lights ALWAYS had to stay on. Never was there an exception. Even with nobody inhabiting the daycare except for the twins.

‘..unny! ‘
‘..drop..!’
‘SUNNY!’
Sundrop’s voice box spurted, almost like a gasp. He flinched hard, landing backwards and onto the floor of their room. His fans whirred, rays spinning at unreasonable speeds. “Go away, goawaygoawaygoaway-” His voice box whined, not unlike a sob. The kids weren’t coming back. He knew that. But it hurt. It hurt too much. Sundrop pressed his knees to his chest, curling in on himself. ‘Sun. You’re okay, okay? Remember what Hedwig said?’ Moon spoke softly.
Sunny sniffed.
“N-Not to call her that?” Moon snickered. ‘No, the other thing.’
“Right. I-It’s okay to not feel okay sometimes.”
‘Exactly. Things will work out on their own, you dummy.’
“Hey! Name-calling isn’t allowed~!”
‘Dummy. Idiot. Nada intelligente.’
“I’m rubber, you’re glue! Everything you say bounces off me and sticks to you!” Sundrop rehearsed in a sing-song voice.
It was then he heard it; the ballpit! Someone was in the ballpit! Crawling to the balcony, Sun glanced over the edge to see- a kid! A Child!! A real life, super duper uber squishy new best friend! Finally, Sunny had a purpose again.
----
“Rule breaker, rulebreaker! You are BANNED from the daycare!!” Sunny’s words rang in his mind. “Do..didja think I was too hard on him?” Sun murmured, sitting at one of the kiddie tables, crayon in hand as he doodled. Him, Moon, and Ģ̶͇͔̞͓̘̳̙̱͇̟͎̞̦̐̇̃̈̿̈́̃̆̚r̵̻̫̊̑̐̒̄̍͝͝͠͝é̶̳͈̭͔̼͌̓̈́̅̄̋̎͋̐͑̒̚͘g̸̹̟̻̫̙̠̯̑͑̏͌͊̒͠ơ̶̡̙͆͗̀̓̊̀̈́̍͘͜͜r̵̛̛̞̙̺̥̲̻̲̖̣̺̦͋̈́̈́̏̎͂y̵̡̗̦̮̰͖̣̬̥͉̐́͜ͅ,

Sunny hummed in response, dropping the crayon. He was tired.
‘..I’m sorry Sun.’
“I know.”
-----
Moon sat on the edge of the balcony, kicking his feet gently. The power had gone out, Vanessa was dead--as was most of the other staff:--and for the first time in almost two years, he was virus free. His eyes shifted to the large wooden door across the daycare, which was currently ablaze. Flames licked the sides of the walls, climbing further and further up towards the ceiling as smoke billowed around them.
“Do- Do you think we’ll see them again? The children?”
“..glitter glue.” Moon responded.
“Wha…what?”
“Glitter glue. This-” he rasped, clawing at his faceplate as he laughed almost manically. “This- This situation is stickier than ģ̷͉͖̩̺͕̝̰̦̮̺̼̔̓́́̽̓̈́͗̓̂̎̽ͅ-̷̜̳̰̗̻̪̋̒̊̐̒͝g̶̢̨̲̩͌͂̂͑͊͊̈́̽͐̐̀͘̚-̶̒̂́͋́̏��̜͕͖̪̤͖̜̰͖̞̦ģ̶̢̡̣̪͚͔̻̠̤̺̩́̊̒͊̈́ͅl̴̢̻̦̞̑̃̀͌̔́͝i̸̧̢̮̻̠̭̺͕̞͚͓̯̽̑͗̉̈́̈́̌͝ͅt̵̨̳̘̳͗̽̃͋́̅t̵͈͍̪̲͚̮̫̬̠͕͔̦͚̉̈́͊͐̓̐̓̉̎̑̚e̷̢̝͕͉̭͓̦̥̙̬͎̠̟͗̀̿̆̈́́̈̋̏̅͘͠ͅr̵͈̫͔̝̲͍̼̿̑̇̈́͊̿̚͠ ̶̨̧̡̛̺̯͈̦̩͈̠͈̣͕́͌͂̑̓̂ͅͅġ̶̭̥̙̳̥̱̖̅̍͑̾͋̓͑͘͠l̴̢͇̹̦̜̹̣̙̤̺̣̺̖̝̳̿̒̔͋̈̿̀̕͝ű̶͍̜͔̓́̆̀̏̎̐̀́̈́̂́͘ẻ̵̯̰̪̳̠̤͕͚̥͉̺̲̎ ̴̛̫͕̎̇͌́̈́͌̓͝/ “
“Are we going to die?”
“Death is a concept, Sunny.”
“I don’t want to die, Moonie.”
“...I know, Sun.” Moon’s gaze lifted to the ceiling as the play structures burned. ‘More like melting.’ he thought. Moon could almost feel the frown from his counterpart. It only added to the hilarity of this situation.
‘I don’t want to die.’ Sundrop repeated. Moon hugged himself tightly. “I don’t think we’re getting out of this one, Brother.” Moon murmured.
“I-I want to see them again. I want to see Jamie. And Cameron. And Kyle. And Charlie. And Morgan.” Sun whined. “I don’t want them to think we didn’t care about them. Oh no. NononononNONO-”
Moon winced. “Sundrop. Calm down.” He weakly protested. “They loved us. They knew we loved them. They- They didn’t..They didn’t wake up while ş̶̧̛̫͉̬̃͒͛͆́̀̋̔́̍͠͝͝ḫ̸̡̧͚̠̦͕̩͙̕e̵̺̬͈͒̋̕͠ had her way.”
“Do you think they hurt?”
“Sunny, please. I don’t- I dont wanna talk about this.”
‘...’
‘I miss you.’
The tip of his hat caught the flames, carefully making their way up the fur. The brightness triggered them to shift, Sun now taking the place where Moon once was. His hand shakily reached up to their softening faceplate. “Heh. G-Guess they should have made us out of metal instead.” He spoke.
“I miss you too.”
“I-It used to be different. Do you remember, Moonie? Do ya, do ya?”
“Vaguely. I know things used to be..different. Before.”
Sunny’s rays dripped, melting plastic dripdripDRIPing down his face. He couldn’t see anymore, but he knew it was bright. And hot.
“They-They told us, they promised us they’d come back! It- IT’LL BE OKAY! It’s gonna be so so so super duper AWESOME! Moonie! We’re- We’re gonna- We’re gonna see the kids again- I-” his voice box broke off, as his arms wrapped around himself. His once brilliant crimson outfit was engulfed in flames, slowly dispersing from his form. “I..I don’t want to go.” Sunny’s voice broke, falling into a strangled sob.
“I love you, Sunny. I’m so so sorry. For everything.”

“I’m sorry.”
“D-D-Don’t Apologiiiiiiiiiii-”
Sundrop and Moondrop never liked the quiet. But now, it was deafening.
It was silent.
The pizzaplex blazed, billowing smoke and all those within were taken by the insatiable hunger of the flames.
The Daycare burned.
The Children Burned.
The Daycare Attendant burned, and alongside him the Naptime Attendant burned.
‘I don’t wanna go.’

may i have a little 🔁 with the boys? 😌 <3
well now hang on.................this song with kas!eddie???
I eat boys like you for breakfast One by one hung on my necklace And they'll always be mine It makes me feel alive
a string of murders. all men. all around steve's age. his body type. sometimes down to his hair color, his eye color. the blood drained from them, practically eaten alive. steve watches the stories on the news. he knows exactly who it is. he knows he needs to stop this. even if he moved away after everything, left hawkins and it's darkness behind him.
he comes back, goes to the once closed gate. it still appears to be closed. the bat in his hand shakes as he steps closer and closer. he reaches a hand out to the slimey vines. he nearly touches them when he hears a loud thud behind him.
"what's that song? the boys are back in town?" the twisted voice from behind him says. it sounds so much like...
"eddie," steve states. he turns and sees eddie in all his possessed glory. still in the same clothes that steve left him in when he was presumed dead on the upside down ground. there are wings sprouted out from behind him, at least 8 feet long. his skin is pale with a grey tint. his smile is crooked, evil. he can see fangs sprouting from underneath his lips. there's blood actively dripping down his chin. fresh from a kill.
steve swallows. readjusts his grip on his bat.
"what did he do to you?" steve asks without even a tremor.
"vecna? he saved me when you didn't," eddie spits.
"hey," steve snaps. "i fucking tried. you were dead. completely lifeless."
eddie takes a step closer and steve fights to stay put. stay grounded in his stance.
"it could've been you. honestly, it should have been you," eddie sneers. "why did you get to make it out of there alive when so many didn't?"
steve feels that question like a punch to the gut. it's a thought he has often when he is suspended in his own depression. in his own survivor's guilt.
"you...you saved us, okay? you saved dustin. i know that. there was nothing we could do for you. i'm..." steve tries not to flinch when eddie steps further into his space. "i'm sorry, okay?"
"i don't forgive you," eddie pouts mockingly. he's in steve's face now. there's nowhere for steve to go. he swings his bat back and forward, only to be stopped by a clawed hand.
"ooo. didn't take that well, did we?" eddie asks.
"eddie. you have to stop," steve commands, pushing against eddie's grip on the bat.
"stop what? eating pretty boys like you for breakfast?"
steve's face goes hard. his mouth twists. he has to take eddie down. he has to put an end to this. "if it's me you want, fucking take me."
eddie grins, his fangs dripping with spit. "gladly."
send me a 🔀 and a pairing, and i’ll shuffle my playlist and make an au based on the first song that comes up

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
finally….it is over. okay so i think this show is like….conceptually good? with a strong start and an insane end. but it kinda suffers from underdeveloping the charas and having looooong stretches where basically Nothing happens. it's a shame tbh. like i can't say it's a Bad bad show bc it has a lot of good concepts and ideas. it's like decent, but also very very flawed. i liked amuro and the white base crew a lot by the end, i wish they had gotten more stuff and more focus eps. i think amuro and kai got the best deal out of the main cast, since they got their own arcs and stuff. char only becomes interesting in the final eps. i do wish they used the zabis more bc they were good villains for this show tho. ALSO LALAH IS INSANE AND I KINDA LIKE HER A LOT? SHE DOESN'T GET MUCH WRITING OR IS MUCH OF A CHARACTER BUT HER CONCEPT IS FUN. it's kind of a shame a HUGE chunk of the show is less about the emotional consequences of war (like it was in certain eps) and more like. War Logistics Simulator 79. that was very lame. also please PLEASE give the charas actual writing, they deserve better than this. this show's main flaw is that it kinda drags a lot and doesn't really focus on its cast tbh. that hurt the experience for me also i wish cameron, sleggar and matilda a very stop appearing in media and die forever. adults suck. i don't think this show's problems are like, a result of tomino, bc his memos do have pretty solid concepts and plots. i think it's more on the writers not really knowing how to go from point a to point b or how to fill the eps lmao. i wish the white base kids got a better show, honestly……and better futures too, oof.

(About Yuu bringing music over and starting a cult.)
I can honestly see Idia starting the cult if the song can make it to Twisted Wonderland versions of YouTube (anime) AMVs. It probably took about three months for the song to circulate as Yuu's basic profile makes everything think, "Oh, maybe it's an indie band, I can't wait to see if they get licenses." A couple thousand people follow for the next installment. Reception is positive and comments are decent, if a bit off-topic.
But imagine if Yuu, either by accident or on purpose, uploads a song that isn't from the same artist. Say: first post was Doja Cat and second was Freddie Dredd. Okay, this is weird. Was this a channel for multiple indie artists? They don't have proper names or emails attached for inquiring about anything, so it's almost like the channel is a host channel of sorts. New niche followers and the second video has mixed comments.
Third video, and different artist. On purpose this time. Yep, definitely a host channel. But wait... why was it so mysteriously blank and there are no credentials, no names, no business email? Was this actually a friend group just wanting fame by being different in musical talents? Probably gauging at 10k and comments are mostly speculative.
Fourth video. Definitely a different artist. Okay! Now Yuu is probably seeing the engagement and is either liking it positively or likes it maliciously. Yuu is now at 20k+ because the fourth one hit the algorithm from the constant uploads and engagement. Now, the comments are flooded with new people and some fights break out.
The fourth one hits editing communities and Idia gets to hear/watch it. He thinks it's cool but doesn't think much of it at first, but then it gets the earworm treatment. It replays all day in his head and he uses the base lyrics that have the most effects around them to search the name. There it is, but he's surprised to see it has a basic ass YouTube backdrop and nothing like "VEVO" or some such on it.
Weird. Very weird.
Listens to all the songs and notices their all different.
Extremely weird.
This is probably where he's going to try doing something with advanced technology like a reverse-vocal search and gets nothing. Vocal recognition gets close matches but the songs seem to be original. Music lineups are close but are, also, original. Idia sees this as a challenge after he seems to start indulging collecting OP comments for shreds of information in the comment section.
All this while Yuu probably is trying to decide whether to post Radiohead or Dove Cameron.
THIS! MY EXEMACT THOUGHTS!
Especially since our music has so many modern references that are lost on them. What is a "Rasputin" and what is Christmas??? Everyone thinks it's like a channel made to replicate another world's music or something and are trying to piece together a story while Yuu is just trying to share their worlds music with TW.

my theories on na’vi reproduction based on my rudimentary research —
Tumblr media
🗯️ this post will be NSFW 🔞 im gonna be explicitly talking about sex/reproduction. feel free to contradict me, i’m just some 18 yr old who knows nothing about biology. however, i do have an interest in sexology and queer theory!
what do we know about na’vi reproduction? — in a playboy interview with in 2009, cameron mentions that even though the na’vi have breasts, they are non placental mammals. on earth, the non placental mammals we have are either monotremes or marsupials
personally, i just disregard na’vi breasts because of this. i think in a perfect world, the na’vi would be more androgynous. however because of the majority cishet audience that would’ve been watching avatar, i don’t think that would go over well. james cameron is also a perv /j
in Avatar: The High Ground (a comic based on the original screenplay for ATWOW) we see neytiri give birth, however everything was hidden, so we can’t really infer much from it.
Tumblr media
although, when we do see neytiri pregnant, we see that her breasts grow. now i assume ronal’s do as well but there isn’t really anything i can find to reference her pre-pregnant body. according to the wiki, na’vi do breastfeed to up to four months old.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
marsupials and monotremes (see above) do breastfeed - their milk has the nutrients a placenta would’ve provided. so… now we have to ask the question: do the na’vi lay eggs?
i’m gonna have to be real and say no. but if they don’t lay eggs and are non placental, where is their pouch/marsupium?? while i was researching - specifically opossums - i found that most of the time, marsupial babies are born extremely young and the pouch is to keep them safe
so in the best way i can think to explain the na’vi being non placental and having breasts is that their gestation period (how long the pregnancy lasts) is about as long a human’s (9 months) and they breastfeed at longer periods than humans — like the babies will breastfeed for hours
Tumblr media
na’vi breast milk is most likely crazy nutritious. based on artwork, i’m assuming baby wearing is popular for both bonding and convenience in feeding. if my theory is correct in na’vi babies needing to be fed longer.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the longer gestation period may also help explain the amount of time the sully family is with the metkayina. if the na’vi were to have short pregnancies, then the amount of knowledge the sully family were to have about the way of water wouldn’t make too much sense
so… how are the babies made? — now we’re getting to the part everyone wants to know! just like the actual birthing of the babies, not much is known about how those little shits are made. other than…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
now let me clear up the biggest misconception about na’vi sex: they DO NOT reproduce/fuck/make love however you wanna called it via tsaheylu. bonding with another is more like foreplay. so when the na’vi/avatars connect with smthn, they aren’t fucking it!!!
so… genitals
i’ve tried my hardest to find ANYTHING on their reproductive organs, but the most i could find was the pandorapedia (that says jack shit) and an interview done recently - which also doesn’t explain much
this is where my imagination is gonna come in. im gonna go out on a limb and say that i don’t think the na’vi have external genitals. i think they would behave similarly to shark reproductive organs (shown below)
Tumblr media
i just dont think having an external penis would be advantageous. if they did, i think it would be more similar to an opossum (they are cool animals okay) where they have more of a… sack? like a lot of foreskin covering the penis. and a penis bone. vaginas are pretty universal. im honestly not sure if the na’vi would have a clit… mammals have clits but sharks dont and if im basing my na’vi dick on a shark then i guess i should with a na’vi vagina??
and… that’s all i have to say! i did this for fun so take everything i say so unseriously <3

I’m sorry for bothering you hun but I was wondering if you do imagines based on songs and if you can do an imagine with Rafe where the reader is this sweet angel (also John B’s little sister) based on the song Ocean Drive by Duke Dumont you can add whatever you want but listening to this song made me think about Rafe instantly and if you feel comfortable by adding a little bit of smut it would be great. Even if you can even if you can’t thank you hun and have a lovely week 🥰🥰
hi love, thank you so much for this request!! you're so right, this does give rafe vibes omg! unfortunately i don't write smut, but i hope you enjoy this! hope you have a great week as well <3
ocean drive
pairing: Rafe Cameron x Routledge!reader
summary: see request! 
warnings: surprisingly no swearing but there is angst 
masterlist + taglist
Tumblr media
(gif from pinterest, credit to owner)
There was just something about rebelling against your big brother’s wishes that made your relationship with Rafe Cameron so much more rewarding than it already was.
See, John B believed that you could do no wrong. You were his darling, sweet angel little sister, and you’d never do something like date his modern day equivalent of a nemesis. 
It was good at first—perfect, even. Like a fairytale come true. Rafe would take you out to fancy dinners, buy you expensive gifts, show you off for the entirety of the Outer Banks to see. You were his girl, and that made you feel special. Important. It was one of the reasons why you fell in love with him in the first place. 
But as your relationship went on, something in it shifted. Little things started blowing up into big arguments, you began spending less and less time together, and you stopped feeling that flutter in your chest that you used to every time you saw him. Something was different between the two of you, and you could feel that whatever it was, it wasn’t going to end well. A storm was creeping in, and neither you nor Rafe were ready for the downpour. 
It got to the point where both of you were aware of what was happening, but neither of you wanted to address it, because if you did, then it would make it real. All good things came to an end, and that end was in sight for you both. It wasn’t good for you to keep pretending like nothing was wrong, but you didn’t want to lose Rafe. 
You’d even gone so far as to try talking to John B about it one day when you were both sprawled out on the couch at the Chateau. 
“I think Rafe and I are gonna break up soon.” You said softly, so soft that John B thought he was hallucinating it. But when he looked over at you and saw that you looked like you were about to cry, he knew it wasn’t just in his head. Honestly, John B didn’t know how to feel about it. Sure, he hated Rafe with everything he had in him, but there was no denying that Rafe Cameron had made you happy these last few months. 
“Sorry to hear that.” He sighed, patting your hand sympathetically. 
You glanced over at him suspiciously. “That’s it? No, ‘I told you so’, no sarcastic remark?” 
“I mean, I definitely don’t like the guy, you know that. But you’re still my baby sister, and when you’re having boy troubles, I’m here. No judgment.” John B’s voice was sincere, and it meant the world to you. “D’you want advice, or just a listening ear?” 
“I could go for both, actually.” He nodded, waving for you to continue. “Things have been…different between us lately. I don’t know what changed, and I don’t want this to be the end with us, but I just—I don’t think we feel the same about each other like we did in the beginning. Like, I’ll always love him, but I’m not in love with him anymore.” 
“You’re scared. It’s okay to be scared.” John B murmured, scooting closer to you on the couch and slinging a comforting arm around you. “My advice? Talk to Rafe about how you’re feeling. And if this really is the end of your relationship, you gotta let him go. It won’t do either of you any good to keep clinging to what you used to be.” 
“When did you get so insightful?” You hummed, resting your head on his shoulder. 
“What do you mean ‘when’? Big brotherly wisdom just oozes out of me all the time.” 
“First off, never say oozes ever again,” You snorted. “And second…thank you for the advice. Looks like you’re not totally useless after all.” 
You got a pillow to the face at that, John B gasping in mock offense. “Take that back!” 
-------
Turns out, you didn’t even need to be the one to bring up your feelings, because Rafe was the one to start the conversation that both of you were dreading to have. 
You were over at his apartment prepping date night dinner one evening when he took a seat at the kitchen counter, sitting across from where you were chopping veggies in silence for a stretch before speaking up. 
“We need to talk.” He said softly, propping his chin up in his hand on the cold granite counter. One look at him, and you could feel your heart start to sink into your stomach. You knew what was happening. “This isn’t working for us anymore. We both know that.” 
“We can fix us, Rafe,” You insisted with a shake of your head, setting down the knife and reaching across the counter for him. “We can fix this.” 
He retracted his hand from the space between you on the counter, jaw clenching at the way your face fell at that. “We’ve been trying, Y/N. And it hasn’t been working. Not for a long time now.” 
You were silent for a long while before responding, because as much as you hated to admit it, Rafe was right. “What happened to us, Rafe? How did we get here?” 
Rafe rounded the island, easing your whitened knuckles off the edge of the countertop and pulling you into a hug. With your head on his chest, you could hear his heart beating rapidly, as you were sure yours was too. 
“Some people just aren’t meant to be,” He murmured against your hair, pressing a kiss to the top of your head before pulling away to look down into your eyes. “But that doesn’t mean that what we had meant any less. I’ll always be grateful for everything you gave me, Y/N.” 
“Me too,” You whispered, squeezing your eyes shut tightly, as if that would stop the shakiness in your voice from taking over. 
“Hey, hey, don’t cry,” He chided gently, brushing away your falling tears with the soft sleeve of his sweater. But when you looked up at him, you could see tears welling in his own eyes too. “We still have today. Forget about everything, and just be here with me tonight. Think of it as a farewell party.” 
You managed a watery giggle. “A farewell party to our relationship?” 
“Exactly that. A farewell and a celebration of everything we’ve given each other these past few months.” Rafe nodded, cupping your cheek in his palm tenderly. His thumb swiped feather-soft under your eye, and you couldn’t help but bring yourself up on your tiptoes and kiss him, one last time. Everything you were feeling poured into that kiss—sadness, understanding, love. 
As much as it pained both of you, you’d finally reached the end of the road. It was time to let each other go.

I've got writer's block something fierce, so here's a little detour from my main cast Intros. This is part one of the Pontecorvo Pizza Gang, a collection of reoccurring supporting characters from the pizzeria that Kris Battle of FCi3 works at.
From left to right we've got Cameron Washington, Rafiq Ahmed, and Marcel Washington, Cam's slightly older fraternal twin. Rafiq is the only one who actually works at Pontecorvo's, but you can always count on seeing Cam and Marcel hanging around the joint at some point during his shift, so they're practically honorary pizza boys.
Rafiq Ahmed
Age: 17 || Birthday: June 23rd ♋ || Traits: Gregarious, Geek, Genius
Rafiq first started working at Pontecorvo's over the summer to help save up money for his first car. He figured it would be the best place to work since it was within walking distance from his house, and he didn't want his mom to worry about dropping him off and picking him up after every shift. His goal was to work as many hours as he could as a cashier in order to have his car bought by the start of his junior year, so he could quit and focus on his studies, but honestly, he started to relax on that plan since he actually likes the job a lot more then he initially though he would. Now with school starting again, he's reduced his schedule down to opening shift on weekends. He's actually the cashier that ends up training Kris when she joins the pizza gang.
Cameron + Marcel Washington
Age: 17 || Birthday: August 1th ♌ || Traits: Quick Learner, Creative, Geek || Muser, Geek, Genius
Cameron, Marcel and Rafiq are best friends and have known each other since the 3rd grade. They're practically inseparable and do pretty much everything together, from playing video games, sharing manga, joining their school robotics team and even coordinating their class schedules as much as possible so they can study the same subjects together. Hell, the only reason Cam and Mars don't work with Rafiq is because they were only hiring out one cashier position at the time, and neither Cam or Mars can drive to be delivery boys.
Despite it all, Cam and Mars still make the effort to ride their bikes on over to hangout with Rafiq every shift. All they have to do is buy a drink and no one can argue with them for being there... well, some of staff does still get annoyed by them, but the owner of the place, Nate, actually likes having them around to annoy that one specific staff member who dislikes them the most, so it's chill. The three of them can often be seen joking around and talking robotics in between Rafiq taking orders. Rafiq is the ideas man, dreaming up new builds, Cameron is the designer, sketching out the blueprints, while Marcel is hard at work writing code based off his brother's designs on his laptop.
If you’ve reached this point of the post, THANK YOU for reading and please feel free to drop an ask about either of these characters. I hope to have more character updates in the coming weeks for you all. Please follow and yell at me to get shit done! Okay, thanks, BYE! 💜✨

Listen to Ella’s song Trying when reading this) AHHH this my songgggg 🤭
You’ve had a few flings here and there but they didn’t really mean much to you. Jack was the complete opposite of you he was famous and had money and the looks and what did you bring to the table? You sighed and slouched into your chair. WHAT DO YOU HAVE?!? You are that bitch!! A bad bitch!! A cute bitch!! A lovable bitch!! Should I go on?!
“Are you talking about Y/N?” Stassie came from behind the boys, she sat down next to Jack and followed his eye contact which led to you. Uhhh *side eye*
Your relationship with your ex Cameron was honestly teeth pulling. He drained you mentally and physically. You were always someone who wore their heart on their sleeve and people of course took advantage of that. Get me a last name & Instagram Handel, IM ABT TO GET AN ADDRESS & WHOOP SUM ASS!!
“Yeah you definitely need to stay away from my friend I don’t want Y/N going through something like that again, and honestly I know you’re still messing around with that one girl.” Stassie sternly told Jack before getting up and leaving with Sunni. OOOP PUT A WHACK BITCH IN THEY PLACE!! Okay I take away my side eye, maybe I will like her here 🤭
“Well damn your plate doesn’t look very nutritional does it babe?” You looked up seeing it was Jack. *looks left & right* *looks behind me & behind him* WHO TF YOU CALLIN BABE?! I’m still stuck on Stassie sayin you still messin around wit another bitch! Don’t babe nobody else till you stop taking to other hoes 😒
“It’s all good baby you know I’m just playing with you.” Cut it out wit these nicknames white boy!! 🙄
“You know what’s going on with your love life or anything.” I- JACK YOU ARE SO EMBARRASSING 😭 you ain’t subtle AT ALL!!
“Just watch I’ll make you mine by the end of tonight. I’ll see you at the party later?” I mean confidence is key ig?! 🫤
“ Aren’t you excited to go out and finally be surrounded by other people?” No tf 😭
You prayed that something good will come out of this instead of something bad. For Jacks sake let’s hope so🤗 cause if not 🩴🔪
“Without a doubt.” Damn thanks for the honesty ig 😭😔
( hiii this is my new series 💗 it’s based off Ella Mai’s latest album “Heart on my sleeve” it’ll go in order from all the songs, basically jack claims he loves the reader but she’s just another girl on his hit list but feelings change and things happen and the reader finds herself falling slowly for Jack soooo stay tuned ) AHHHHHHHH I JS KNOW IMMA HAVE TO BEAT JACKS ASS!! 🫤🔪🩴
FRIEND YOU FUCKING ATEEEEE!! 🫶🏽🤗
Thank you friend I always love seeing comments that you always love 😭 it’s a bit boring for right now but trust me it’ll pick up eventually so I’m glad you love it so far
we’re definitely gonna hate jack towards the end of this so stay ready 😌💀

Big agree on preferring a convo with Joe rather than just a picture, along with your other anons. Although, from my perspective I'm sure people just ask for pictures because a conversation is an investment of time, which not every celeb can do or wants to do. (Depending where you find them - like best practice is be respectful here)
In my wild dreams, I picture getting to sit down and chat with him over coffee or a beer and ask him about all the random little bits of info he's dropped in his interviews.
Like he loves Ace of Base and Justice? He said his guilty pleasure song is Everybody by the Backstreet Boys?? I wanna ask him about his music taste so much!!! (he's such a hipster (affectionate))
I wanna know what it's like to have to shoot underwater as an actor - those scenes in ST4 were pretty long (it seems so complicated! I once read this thing about the filming of James Cameron's The Abyss and it's freaked me out ever since 😬)
He seems like such a cool guy! I feel for him in the sense that you are someone who likes being an actor but then there's all this "celebrity" that comes along with it and like... yuck.
If you ever see the other side of those red carpets (WALL of cameras), I can't blame him for being disenchanted by fame and Hollywood.
I sincerely hope he gets to keep being creative, he's so talented. 🥰 (Sorry this got so long, Joe makes me v. excited)
It’s totally okay! I understand!
Yeah I get asking for a picture. I know not all scenarios are good for just conversing, but it’s something I’d love to do. You’re right, he is fascinating!
Also can we just get on him to record a Christmas song or his own version of Everybody? I would love that!
I agree. It’s so hard to think of him as a “celebrity” because he’s just so normal. Honestly he’s just a normal person with an awesome job, I guess you can say. I can’t remember which interview but I remember Gaten saying he doesn’t like the word famous or celeb, one of them. Joe is definitely in that ballpark.

Ollie is evil. Everyone else on the team, except Fizzy, are out of commission. What happens.
(basically i need prompts/ideas/ANYTHING for the fizzy part of the fic. HALP!! Q_Q!!)
Okay, we're gonna bullet and pinpoint little bits and pieces, because I have ideas, but it's your story and I can only give you options:
Izzy takes the route of a true Green and goes into furious Rage Mode; complete with decimating the grunts amongst their enemies to thin the herd
Fern is given the chance to shine in her Orange as caretaker and engineer of fate going forward in taking care of putting away Zayto's body for proper funerary rites, getting Amelia and Javi buffed up as best she can, but more importantly seeing to Aiyon in his time of distress
When Izzy loses steam and momentum, she finally rolls over into her other coping mechanism, which includes acts of service in fortifying the ship and base, making sure any places they need to hide has food and water available for long-term stay, and cooking all manners of food stuffs to shove down her girlfriend's throat and also the others when they're up to it
Good opportunity to see Izzy in just leggings and a tank top with her hair up in a bun to burn off her worries
Fern gets to take on the responsibility of temporary leadership in lieu of anyone more senior available, what with her college ready mind and her sharp insights; granted, Billy is phoning it in from wherever he is to give emotional support, but let this girl have her moment in the sun, please
Doing laundry that is not just their own together in the middle of the night
Possibly the chance to meet fellow Greens and Oranges and getting pep talks individually because, honestly, how great would it be for Izzy to meet Tommy or Adam or Cameron on Billy's recommendation while Fern gets introduced to their mentor's husband and maybe Marah?
