because i love you — [hoo boys headcanons]
summary: your "thing" with the hoo boys!
author's note: in honor of the pjo series coming out today,,have this rlly rlly short draft from earlier this year! xoxo
Tumblr media
percy jackson — doodling on him
“give me your hand.”
“yes ma’am.”
minutes pass as you doodle gods know what onto percy’s hand. you always resort to this whenever the camp head counselor's meeting begins late—which seems to be every meeting—and giving percy "tattoos" certainly kills time. last meeting, you drew a can of beans and the time before that, was a bouquet of tulips. so honestly his guess being a pair of socks this time isn’t too far of a reach.
“okay, done,” you release his hand, a proud smile gracing your features, “cute right?”
he quirks a brow upon seeing the drawing, “is that…” percy turns his head to the side, gaining better perspective, “is that a flying fish?” 
“wow, you’re good,” you say, giving him a nod of approval, “although, last time you did say that my can of beans looked like a roll of toilet paper…” 
your boyfriend throws his hands in the air, “in my defense, you used a shitty pen so it was hard to tell.” 
“whatever.” 
jason grace — sewing your initials on his clothes
“hi love,” jason says, plopping down beside you on the couch. you give him a bright smile as he places a gentle kiss on your head, “almost done?” 
nodding proudly, you hold up his pair of jeans to show him your work: your initials sewn onto a corner of his back pocket, “yup, just finished actually! what do you think of the color? i think you bought the thread for me on our second date. but i totally forgot i had it until i went digging in my supply box.” 
a grin plasters itself on jason’s face as he nods his head in realization, “i knew the color seemed familiar. i remember wondering why a tiny spool of thread was so expensive. but it’s perfect, i love it,” he kisses your cheek, “all my friends are gonna be so jealous that they don’t have their girlfriends’ initials sewn onto their clothes.” 
you laugh as you imagine jason vehemently bragging about his jeans to all his friends, “tell them i’m charging $50 if they want me to do theirs,” you wink. 
“we’d make more than the stolls’ and their smuggling business if we did that,” he laughs, admiring your work once more. who knew that having your initials on his pants would have such an affect on him, “also, can you do my sweaters and my other jeans?"
you raise a brow, "i might have to start charging you at this point."
leo valdez — impromptu fashion shows
“wow!” you clap enthusiastically, “your outfit even puts paris fashion week outfits to shame!” yes, because a rainbow checkered crop top with a humongous green tutu and a pink boa paired with insanely skinny stilettos beats any and all high fashion runway outfits, “now, leo valdez, can you give us a few words about your new clothing line? and possibly a bit about what it’s like to be so amazingly talented?” you inquire, raising an invisible microphone to his mouth. 
leo oh-so humbly bows and rises with a proud grin, “thank you, thank you, but i honestly must give all credit towards my beautiful muse, y/n, she’s the inspiration behind my new line. and about being so talented, it really is such hard work to be this naturally gifted.”
“ooh, do tell about this ‘y/n.’ i’ve never heard of her but she does sound absolutely gorgeous!” you exclaim, keeping up with the act. 
your boyfriend nods firmly, “oh yes, she’s very, very, very beautiful,” adding a playful wink, “but i must say, she has the worst morning breath i’ve ever encountered!” 
your smile drops and you squint your eyes, “i’m going to choke you with that stupid ugly boa if you don’t take that back right now.” 
“uh ma’am,” leo backs up nervously, clutching his boa, “i’m going to have to call security if you threaten me again.” 
"i'm seriously going to kill you."

Knowing you write for steddie x reader changes everything for me. I love them and they deserve the world. Plus you do every character so much justice I love how you write them. Maybe reader and Steve supporting Eddie at one of his shows? Or Eddie and Reader helping Steve network at an event? Or Steve and Eddie taking care of a drunk Reader after having a "girls night" with Robin and Nancy?
Love your writing and hope you have an amazing Valentines day! 💝 🍫🎀🌹💐
Thanks for requesting gorgeous! Hope your valentine's was amazing too <33
cw: effects of alcohol + weed
poly!Steddie x fem!reader ♡ 1.2k words
When Steve gets back home, you’re sitting on the floor of the kitchen drinking water out of a bowl with a half empty bag of bread beside you. 
“Jesus,” he says. “This looks kinda pathetic, don’t you think?” 
Eddie, sitting on the counter while he monitors you, shrugs. “All our cups are dirty.” 
“She didn’t want to sit on the couch or something?” 
“No, she said—”
“The floor’s really important right now,” you say gravely. 
Eddie nods. “I kind of get it.” 
Steve huffs a laugh, squatting beside you. “How’s it going, honey?” 
“M’not feeling fabulous,” you mumble, your voice echoing around the inside of the bowl. “Are Nancy and Robs okay?” 
“Yeah, they’re good,” he says. “They’re home safe.” He peers into the bowl when you lower it for a second. You’ve almost drained it. He has to hand it to Eddie; purposefully or not, his bowl scheme has gotten you to drink a good amount of water. “Neither of them would tell me what you guys got up to, though.” 
You’ve just raised the bowl to drink again, and you giggle into your little cavern. 
Eddie, feeling left out, hops down from the counter and takes up a position on your other side. “Ooh, that sounds like trouble.” He nudges your shoulder with his, squinting at you deviously. “What’d you do, huh?”
You set the bowl down, finished. “Nothing,” you say smugly. 
Eddie leans around you to shoot Steve a look, and he rolls his eyes at the showy intrigue in it. 
“Let me guess,” his boyfriend drawls. “You went to that biker bar downtown?”
You shake your head but realize your mistake halfway through, frowning at yourself. “M’not gonna say anything.” 
“That’s no fun! Come on, did you all get secret matching tattoos?” 
You press your lips together. Ignore the eyebrow Steve raises at you. 
“Did you go skinny dipping in the river? Go to a strip club?” Eddie gasps, expression morphing into one of scandal like your face has revealed anything more than a growing amusement at his theories. “Oh my god, you worked a strip club! Baby, you should’ve told us, Stevie and I would’ve tipped you good if we’d been invited.” 
“Quit it.” You go to pinch Eddie’s side. He stops you with a hand on your wrist and a delighted grin. “M’not telling you yes or no to anything, so don’t bother.” 
“Alright,” Steve says at the mischievous look in his boyfriend’s brown eyes, “you ready for bed?” 
Instantly, your good mood slips away. “No,” you say, almost pleading. “M’too dizzy, I can’t go to bed like this.” 
Eddie’s coo sounds how Steve feels. He stands while his boyfriend kisses sympathetically at your cheek, reaching down for you. “That’s alright,” he promises. “Let’s just brush teeth for now, okay? We’ll give you some time to sober up.” 
It takes some help from Eddie on the floor to get you up, but soon Steve has his arm around your waist, keeping you pressed close to his side as he all but carries you to the bathroom. He hears Eddie moving around in the kitchen, cleaning up your small mess, and takes the opportunity to lean in to whisper, “Okay, are you really not going to tell me how you got like this?” 
You groan, head lolling onto his shoulder. “You’re gonna think it’s so uncool.” 
Steve laughs quietly. “C’mon, babe. You’ve got the D&D master in there, and then a guy who probably peaked in high school. Are you really worried about what we think is cool?” 
“Yes,” you mutter, but sigh in defeat as he leans you against the bathroom counter, getting your toothbrush ready for you. “Fine. We didn’t even go out. We just stayed in Nancy’s basement.” 
He feels his eyebrows go up. “I thought you guys were going to go to the bars.” 
“We were, but Robin brought us brownies to eat before we left, and…and she didn’t tell me what was in them until I’d already had two.” 
“Oh,” Steve realizes, “you’re high, huh?” 
“I had a bit to drink before that, too,” you say miserably. You take the toothbrush from him, all but shoving it into your mouth. 
“You’re crossed?” Steve gives a little laugh, scrubbing his hand up and down your arm sympathetically. Your skin is pleasantly warm, and you lean into his touch like his hands are molding you that way. “Shit, that sucks.” 
“We didn’t even get to go out because of me,” you lament around a mouthful of toothpaste. You’re starting to sound a bit teary. “And I threw up in Nancy’s bathroom.” 
Steve tries to look like he’s taking this seriously, but it’s hard to keep the amusement from his tone. “You couldn’t have known, you know?” He crosses his arms, watching as you scrub the inside of your mouth like you’re trying to rid yourself of this entire night. “Robs should have told you earlier. Christ, no wonder you seemed so much more fucked up than either of them.” 
“What’s going on?” Eddie leans against the doorway. 
“She’s crossed,” Steve says. 
“Steve!” You spit your toothpaste in the sink and look up at him, betrayed. “You’re such a nark!” 
“Aw, baby.” Steve really doesn’t know why you ever wanted to keep this a secret from Eddie. He’ll tease you more for it, sure, but he’ll also baby you way more than Steve ever would. And predictably, you eat it up, responding to his tone with a cute pout. “This is your first time being high, isn’t it?” 
You nod pitifully. “I didn’t even mean to,” you warble, eyes looking dangerously wet. “It was an accident.” 
Eddie crosses the distance to you in two long strides, wrapping his arms around your middle so your back is pressed to his front. “Poor thing,” he coos. “You were tricked, huh?” 
“She was,” Steve says, somewhat crossly. “Robin’s gonna hear it when I see her tomorrow, don’t worry.” 
“No, Steve!” Your boyfriend sticking up for you only seems to worsen your upset. You turn your glassy eyes on him, reaching for his hand. “You can’t tell, please! S’a girls’ night secret, you’re not supposed to know.” 
Steve softens. He can play tough, but he’s never been any match for you when you make your eyes all big and sad like that. He’ll give you anything you want. 
“I dunno,” Eddie says, “I think we should go egg her house.” 
Steve grins, but you blanch. 
“No,” you protest urgently, clearly missing the humor in his voice. 
“Alright, alright.” Steve tugs your hand toward him, soothing his palm up the inside of your wrist. “We won’t tell, honey.” Eddie rolls his eyes, but they’re full of fondness as he stamps a kiss on your cheek to show his agreement. “Do you want to sit in bed until you feel okay enough to go to sleep?” 
The worry clears from your expression, replaced by something almost approaching shyness. “Yes, please,” you say, sinking into Eddie’s hold. “You guys can go to sleep though, if you want.” 
“Oh, no way,” Eddie says, keeping you securely in his hold as he starts to walk you towards the bedroom. “It’s your first time being high, baby! I wouldn’t miss this for anything.” 
You grin like he’s silly, but when your unsteady gaze lands on Steve it’s tentative. 
“We’re not just gonna leave you awake by yourself,” he agrees. “We’ll stay up however long you need us to.” 
“Exactly,” Eddie says. “Okay, tell me everything going through your head right now. Do you kind of feel like you’re watching a TV show through your own eyes?”

firstly happy new year!
i wanted to tell you i love your works and maybe ask if i can request a Thorin's company x reader where the reader is from our world and has many tattoos (like a full sleeve) and the company's reaction, maybe the dwarves show their tattoos too?
thank youuu so much!
Ooh, this is cool! Sorry it took so long this got buried in my inbox 😣 I’m going to try to keep the tattoos as vague/open as possible but I may describe em here & there, sorry 😅 Hope this is enjoyable & accurate hehe, ya girl does not have any tattoos herself~
Warnings: slight suggestive jokes, minor blood in one
Showing Thorin’s Company Your Tattoos
Balin
It started the moment he pulled out the contract. You’d gone traveling with the company but not officially joined until this moment. Soon as the parchment unfurled, you began rolling your sleeves up and out of ink’s way. Glancing upward, you caught Balin’s eyes upon the designs inked into your skin. “Oh,” you cocked your head, pen momentarily forgotten, “have you never seen tattoos like this before?” Such a question earned you a sudden burst of laughter from the white-haired dwarf, who shook his head. “Nay, not in the slightest! Quite the opposite. We dwarves are famous for our designs. I suppose that yes, I’ve never seen ones like yours,” he glances over yours once more, “but many I have seen.” Suddenly you felt compelled to ask: “Well, do you like them?” Balin smiled. “Of course I do! Just because they are different doesn’t mean they are bad. Watch out for my brother, though, he’ll be itching to give you a new one if you get on his good side.” He gave a wink and that sealed it for you- you knew it already, but it rang through your head once more that you had a place in this company.
Dwalin
It had started with a compliment. “I like your tattoos,” you told the shaven-headed dwarf with a smile and a nod his way. He looked surprised, then pride settled into his eyes beneath the fire’s flicker. “Thanks. Bet you’ve never seen anything like ‘em before, eh?” Matching Dwalin’s smug smile, you rolled up your sleeve to reveal the art covering your own body. “By my beard,” he breathed. “Would you believe me if I said there was more where that came from?” You teased. “May not have before,” the dwarf grinned, “but I certainly do now. Bet you don’t know what mine mean, though…” "Well then, tell me." Brows raising, he crosses his arms and looks you over as if anew. "And perhaps if you prove yourself, I can add to your collection." As you can imagine, this turned into quite a long conversation.
Thorin
The king-to-be’s eyebrows raise, a look of pure shock crossing his regal features when you expose the long expanses of tattoos you’ve decorated yourself with. Arching a brow, you assume it is some sort of royal sensibility and roll your eyes, at least until you hear Thorin’s faint words emerge, barely above a whisper. “My sister has something quite like that. May I?” Stunned, you simply nod, holding your arm out as Thorin draws closer, fingers gently brushing over your inked skin as a small smile creeps to his lips. “I remember when she got it. She wanted me to get one, too, but I was too afraid.” A deep chuckle. “You, I see, do not lack the courage. Dis would like you. Very much,” he comments, blue eyes shining into yours.
Oin
“You’ve gotta be more careful next time,” Oin shakes his head as he lowers you onto the blanket, one hand tucked carefully behind your head. “You’re welcome,” you grin, though the expression quickly turns into a wince as pain arcs up your newly acquired wound. Tutting, Oin says nothing, opting instead to strip off your layers to dab at the blood collecting there. He pauses, though, over your bared skin. “You never told me…” Gloved hand waving vaguely over you, and you chuckle weakly. “What, that I have an amazing pain tolerance?” “That’s one way to put it,” he replies, “and let’s hope so. You’ll need it. They did heal quite nicely, you know. Half the ones I’ve done looked a mess after.” “You do tattoos, huh?” You chuckle again, smiling up at him as he worked. “Now that I’d like to see.”
Gloin
Bursting into hearty laughter, Gloin claps a hand to your shoulder. "Thinkin' you can beat Dwalin, are you?” Obviously you are quite confused, tilting your head at him until you trace the line of his eyes to your exposed wrist. The edges of a tattoo showed there, bringing a chuckle to your lips. “Hadn’t thought of it like that,” you shot back, “but I suppose I would have him bested.” Gloin bursts into hearty laughter as you push up your sleeve to reveal skin entirely covered. “Bless me, I was teasing you! You really went for it, though! What did you do for yours? I managed to barter for mine,” he grins, pushing up his own sleeve to reveal a design near his shoulder. “I wish that was how it worked for me,” you sigh, rolling your eyes at the thought of all your lost money, “where I come from, it’s pay or nothing.” Cue Gloin lining you up deeds to get dwarven ink done should you so desire.
Bifur
Catching Bifur gesturing your way, you frown slightly and turn back around, fixing him with a look of concern at his hasty motions. Finally, he traces a hand up his arm, prompting you to peer down at your own. Ah, right. He'd probably never caught a glimpse of your tattoos before. You nod, sign a 'what?' you hope doesn't come across too cheeky, and grin when he gives up and rolls his eyes and grabs your arm. “Well,” you ask, “like ‘em?” In all honesty, you have no expectation for his reply, but the enthusiastic nod and tug up of his tunic still has your eyebrows raising in shock. He has one, too, it seems, at least the one, and wouldn’t you know it, it’s quite similar to one of yours. Smiling, you wondered if that was as meaningful to him as it was to you.
Bofur
“Well you’re full of surprises, aren’t you?” You aren’t even certain what the hatted dwarf means until you follow his gaze down the length of the arm you’d bared to spearfish with, tracing the lines of your tattoos. “So you could say,” you reply mystically, waving fingers until the both of you are laughing. “Which one’s your favorite? I wanna see ‘em all. Well, if you’ll let me, of course, and…" Cutting him off with a hand held up and a smile, you answer, "I know what you mean. When we're done here, we'll need some time by the fire. I'll show you then." Eyes shining, Bofur gives you a grin and wades into the river with you. That evening, as you sat and warmed your soaked legs by the toasty fire, you rolled up your sleeve all the way this time, telling him the story of every single tattoo and chortling at his animated commentary.
Bombur
The others saw them, but Bombur’s reaction amused you the most by far. Without thinking, he grabbed your arm and held it up, eyes scanning your art beneath the warmth of his gentle hold. “Well,” you chuckled, “what do you think, do you approve?” “I quite like yours,” he agreed, “yours are pictures. I like them better than Dwalin’s.” A call of protest from the warrior dwarf rang out defending both his own art and of course the traditions of their people. But if you have any of things Bombur enjoys most, things representing family, food, animals, nature, and the like, he keeps fighting for you to the last word! "But I like the pictures! Have you seen them? Come have a look here." There you stand, your hand tightly in Bombur's grip, but you cannot help smiling.
Dori
The two of you had all but insisted the dwarves finally wash some of their layers, so they agreed under the express conditions that the ones who cared so do it. As you knelt at the riverside with a bundle of (frankly filthy) clothing, you rolled up your sleeves to the elbows and saw Dori staring out of the corner of your eye. He didn’t look particularly scandalized and you were used to eyes upon your art, expected it even. “Looking at these?” You asked with a smile. Sheepishly he nodded. “My brother has a couple of those. Always trying to get me to have one done,” he scoffed, “but I don’t exactly fancy a voluntary stabbing myself.” You can’t help laughing at that. “They certainly did hurt,” you agree in your mirth. Dori’s eyes slid down your forearm one more time. “You must be quite tough, then, aren’t you? Strong and sensible,” he beams.
Nori
One of your tattoos is especially meaningful, so the moment its subject comes up in conversation you are peeling back layers to reveal it. Many dwarven eyebrows raise as the sun strikes your skin, but you can’t help noticing Nori specifically, the look of intrigue and perhaps something else in his eyes. Challenging him with a look, you cock your head a bit at him. “Didn’t realize you had any,” he says simply. With a faint snort, you nod. “Well, here you go,” you roll up your sleeve further. Nori’s eyes trail up and down the expanse of skin one more time. “I’ve got a few myself.” Naturally, you ask him where, and that is when he breaks into a rakish smile and winks. “You’ll have to guess.”
Ori
Smiling at Ori as you accepted his sketchbook, you pushed back your sleeve to save it from smudging his work or the addition he'd welcomed you to make on a new page. An entry into his little world you were honored at the invitation to create. But when you glanced back up at the dwarf, your joy faded sharply away at the widening of his eyes. Shock, no doubt, at the revelation of the ink covering your forearm, designs you'd hidden for fear of distaste or harsh questioning. Quickly you slid the fabric back down, but Ori just gaped, looking more than a bit awed. "You have so many. Did they hurt?" A common enough question, posed innocently as you'd expect from the company's youngest. "Some more than others, that is for sure," you answered simply, "but I took it in silence." Humming in further awe, Ori leaned closer to you. "Nori screamed like a baby bird the whole time he got his." Bursting suddenly from your chest, your laughter cascaded over your whole body in relief, comfort returning to your little world. "I quite like yours better than his, too, especially that one," Ori added, pointing where he'd seen a particularly nice piece. Perhaps you should have known the artist would understand.
Fili
“Whatcha got there?” Glancing down at the utensil in your hand, you shrug. “Ladle. I was helping Bombur do the rinsing.” At that, the elder Durin heir smirks. “Not that,” he says, gesturing up from your hand, “those.” Right. “Oh, my tattoos? If you’ve never seen anything like them, I can tell you-” “Never seen anything like it?” Fili snorts in amusement, crossing his arms. “I take it you’ve not looked upon the dwarven kings of old.” Removing his coat and outer tunic, he bares his own arms. “I’d like to get mine here.” He touches his bicep. “One ringing each side.” “How convenient,” you tease as he flexes the toned muscle of his arms. “What?” “Nothing,” you snort, shaking your head.
Kili
The pair of you had been sparring, Kili parrying your every move before you finally sat down in defeat, accepting a newly-filled waterskin gratefully. The dwarf kept teasing you, saying all that he could about how well he knew you and the like. "Why, I practically know everything about you," he said with a proud look, "you'll not be surprising me any time soon." "Well, then, if you know me so well," you countered, "which tattoo is my favorite?" "Very funny, you haven't any..." Kili's eyes widened as you rolled up your sleeve, scanning every inch of ink. "...Tattoos." "What was that you were saying?" You asked, smirking into his speechless gape. Curse him, he regained his composure quickly, though, expression falling back into the smile you had to admit you loved. "Well, I certainly know which one is my favorite."
Bilbo
You start tugging at your top at the collarbones and Bilbo’s eyes practically pop out of his head when your tattoos peep at him. “You too?” He asks, tone incredulous. Chuckling in amusement, you fix him with an inquisitive look. “And what does that mean?” “Well,” he begins, voice faltering, “I suppose I just thought of that as, well, as a dwarf thing. What with Dwalin and all.” “Surprise,” you tease him with a grin, exposing more skin he flushes at the sight of, “but look, I think you’ll quite like this one…” Any tattoo you have from nature, after all, surely catches the hobbit's gentle eye in a heartbeat. “Oh, that is… quite beautiful,” Bilbo breathes with a faraway smile, “can I touch it? Wait, what am I saying, I’m sorry…”

Michael Kaiser — On Your Knees
PAIRING: Michael Kaiser/Reader WORD COUNT: 2.9k TYPE: Humor, Teasing, ERM I think y/n and kaiser might like each other 🤓 WARNING: Suggestive sorry (flirting is only verbal but explicit at times)
Kaiser always looks alright with his hair wet. Not, like, stunning or anything, but passable. Then you know it’ll start standing up in weird ways after it dries a little and he’ll ask Ness to help him with it — which, embarrassing, by the way.
But anyway. You wanted to check out the communal bath after you took a shower, figured you’d be alone because it was already bordering on late, and Kaiser followed you because why wouldn’t he. Not like you value your peace and solitude or anything. He can be such a pest sometimes.
You were telling him what Isagi told you — it’s called a sento and apparently it’s different from the more popular onsen — and he said you weren’t ‘worldly’ and that you weren’t ‘impressing him’ and then some more about how ‘everyone knows this.’ Shithead. You should spit in his breakfast tomorrow, if you remember.
Well, you like sitting in the bath, at least, so you’re not too sour right now. Even Kaiser being right next to you can’t ruin it.
“I like this Raichi guy,” you say.
Kaiser shakes his head a little to show you he disapproves. “Don’t tell me you mingle with them. Also, the guy’s always benched. He’s second-rate.”
“No, listen, he was telling me about this sexy soccer motto he has. I really wanna know what it’s about.”
“You’re embarrassing. If you’re in my entourage, you should act like it.”
“Dude, you’re just mad at Isagi ‘cause he was trending on football twitter more than you were that day,” you say.
“I’m not!”
Very persuasive argument coming from him here. It’ll take a lot out of you to take it apart. He’s fuming about it, too. Maybe it’s not so bad Kaiser came along if you can poke fun at him.
“I don’t know why you’re the favorite on the team, anyway,” you say. “They all die over your corny tattoo and not to mention how much you love showing it off. Not cool at all.”
“You wish you were me. Now you’re being jealous because no one likes you, and it’s making you look even uglier than usual,” says Kaiser, seeming to believe himself if the smug look on his face is anything to go by.
“I mean, I had a girlfriend till recently, you know.” Kaiser rolls his eyes, but you ignore him. He’s always doing this, pretending he doesn’t want to hear you. “She had this botched blue dye job and said things like ‘pussy power,’ with the crystals in her room and the tarot cards and all.”
“Yeah? Sounds great. Did you pick her up after a match, loser?”
You click your tongue and wag your finger at him just to be annoying. “No, I don’t fool around with fans. Seems more like your forte.”
He flicks the offending finger away. “I’ve never done that, you slanderous pig.”
“No, but listen, she didn’t care about football at all. She didn’t even know what a scissor kick is. Ooh, she drove me wild.” You sing the last part, looking up at the ceiling fondly as if you’re recalling a warm memory.
Kaiser narrows his eyes at you, frowning. “You’re one strange individual.” And what a pompous way to put it.
“But anyway, wanna know what kinda tattoo I’d get?”
“I seriously don’t care.”
“A skull with two guns. Hard as fuck.”
“You’re so lame. It’s appalling, and also probably why you got dumped.”
He’s taking the tattoo thing seriously. At least seriously enough to insult you over it. He’s even snickering at you in amusement. His face is always, how can you put it… snide, but he does look a touch more evil when he starts grinning and shit. What a hoot, though. Really.
“Nah, there was this guy. He wore suspenders with plaid polos and these little sweaters over them. They were sustainable. Sustainable. Can you believe it? Sustainable! I didn’t stand a chance.” You poke him on the neck, already distracted from what you were rambling about. Kaiser is going to bring up your low attention span soon, you can smell it on him. It doesn’t take any effort to reach out, though, what with him sitting so close next to you. “This isn’t such a bad spot for a tattoo, actually. I don’t know, maybe you were onto something.”
“Paws off,” he says, swatting you away like a bug. A pedestrian bug, probably, at least in his imagination. “You really wanna fondle me that badly, you’ll use any excuse to do so?”
“Paws!” you repeat, clapping. “You’re hysterical.”
Kaiser rolls his eyes again. He seems to like to do that a lot, at least in your presence. If there was such a thing as competitive eye-rolling, you wager he’d be good at it, maybe even better than he is at football.
“No, but listen-”
“God, I hate it when you say that,” he interrupts with a groan, then contradicts himself by also swinging an arm around your shoulder, pulling you closer just to yawn in your face with great exaggeration. The water is way too hot for this nonsense, so you push him away. “Because I never want to listen to you.”
“You’re crazy. Insane. It’s super clinical. Like, really.”
“Yes, I’m sure, unlike me, you’d pass a psychiatric evaluation because I’m crazy and you aren’t. Of course.”
“Imagine-”
“Can you stop topic-hopping?” Kaiser asks, annoyed. See, you knew he’d bring it up. “Does your head ever hurt with how much bullshit goes through it?”
You shush him. He scowls at you like you’re some mold growing in the bath, but you disregard his expression of disdain. “Imagine you’re having a nice day, I don’t know, at practice. Then I barge in with all of my asshole glory, right, and I walk up to you, and for no reason, I say, ‘On your knees,’ instead of greeting you. Isn’t that kinda deranged?”
Kaiser stares at you. To his credit, he’s decent at maintaining a poker face, but once he’s embarrassed, there’s no hiding it, no going back. Because no matter how much he does his usual male posturing or whatever it’s called, his face is all red, the blush even going up to his ears, mouth wavering the slightest bit. “W-What? In your dreams.”
“Oh, do you like getting bossed around or something?” you ask with the sensitivity of a numb toe. “That’s so pathetic.”
It’s quite the spectacle when his skin somehow becomes even more flush. Sick of your leering, maybe, Kaiser whips around, albeit not all the way, and covers his cheek with his hand while peering at you through his fingers. Finally, he decrees, “You suck,” with too much authority.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever. Forget about me, though. In that situation, do you spit or do you swallow?”
It’s unclear whether you’re getting any gratification out of this besides the satisfaction of flustering him, but you smile in amusement regardless. As if you care about Kaiser sitting there, looking all pretty and nervous because of some nonsense you’d been spewing. Not like you’re crazy about him or anything. That’d be ridiculous. You couldn’t be more unfazed if you tried.
You grab your towel with what you’d call impressive swiftness, then turn around and stand, covering yourself before preparing to go on your merry way. Kaiser pulls you back by the ankle, trying to trip you or something, the menace. Hilarious guy, really.
He is staring up at you in this petulant sort of way, grabbing onto his own towel with his other hand. “Why are you leaving so soon?” he asks, sounding peeved, as if you haven’t been here with him for an unreasonable amount of time already.
“I thought I should give you some privacy since you’re all hot and bothered now,” you say (with this douchebag laugh you have for situations like these, where you’re being a douchebag — self-explanatory), stepping out of his grip. Then you try to imitate his voice, but more high-pitched, accompanying your performance with a few vulgar hand gestures. “Oh, [Y/n], you slanderous pig! I think that’s what you’d sound like.”
“You’re such a lowlife,” he says, before all but leaping out of the bath and trying to maim you right here on the spot, and the only thing to save you from your demise is that he gets lightheaded and almost faints immediately after.
You reach out to pull him up and keep him steady, holding him by the arms. “You can’t be jumping out of the bath like that, man, come on.”
The lack of response concerns you, but after a while, Kaiser gathers his wits enough to say, “I’m going to make you slip, and I’ll be praying you split your head open.”
You burst out laughing. “Do it, then. You don’t have it in you, do you?”
Instead of doing as he promised to retaliate to your provocation, he settles for letting go of you and glaring, before clutching the side of his head and going still again. If there was any medical wing in this goddamn football contraption, maybe you would’ve taken him, but alas. At least you don’t need to worry about Kaiser too much since he eventually concedes and holds onto your arm for support.
The sight of you two stumbling around towards the changing room is probably comedic — uncoordinated as hell, covering yourselves with these flimsy little towels, using the hands not clutching at the other.
“You’re supposed to drink a lot of water before getting in,” you say.
“It’s your fault! You didn’t warn me we were going.”
“Yeah, ‘cause you weren’t invited. Jeez.”
“Oh, whatever.”
You return the tiny towel to the basket, swapping it for a bigger one and making quick work of drying yourself. You’re slipping on your shirt when you ask, “Is your head all right now?”
“I’m fine.”
When you turn around to judge whether he’s being truthful or not, he’s dabbing himself in a manner which is way more laborious, examining his reflection in the mirror as if he’s in some slow motion commercial where the camera will capture a conspicuous water droplet falling down his neck, admiring his jaw from different angles. He makes you sick sometimes.
“I’m not gonna wait for you to finish checking yourself out.”
He shoos you away with a dismissive wave of his hand. Unlike his, your actions most often align with your words, though, so you do walk out of the door. You’re not even ten steps in when Kaiser reappears, now magically dressed.
“Stop rushing,” he says, pushing you out of the way — and for no reason! There’s enough space for both of you in the hallway. You end up lagging a bit behind him. “I’m dizzy.”
“I thought you said-”
“Blah, blah,” he cuts you off, untying his hair and doing a bad job of smoothing it out with his fingers.
You’re rooming with him and Ness, so you’re already headed in the same direction. As much as this stinks, your other option was Gesner and Grim. God, is fucking Gesner obsessed with dick cheese. Of all things, that’s what he’s always talking about. Grim has your condolences, but the problem is out of your hands now.
“Your hairstyle’s ridiculous.”
Kaiser turns his nose up and smiles, coming off as pleased by the insult. “You can only wish to pull it off.” Always preening like a peacock. He’s entertaining. You swear he is.
You hook one of the ends, where it’s the bluest, around your finger, twirling it around and around. “I had a dream about you recently.”
“Aww, I’m on your mind even when you’re unconscious. I could vomit right now.”
“You were in the meditation position, but you were levitating, and the rat tails were holding you up.”
Maybe you’ve committed some kind of utmost offense, because he doesn’t even bother insisting they’re not rat tails this time. “Wow, those are the kinds of things you dream about me? Your brain is defective to the core.”
“What do you want me to dream about you, then? Are you implying something?”
He faces you, and he has this way of looking at you like you’re a blight on humanity. You have an urge to press your palms against his cheeks to check how warm they get when he blushes, but resist it. “You’re so delusional.”
He’s rolling his eyes again.
“Keep rolling them, see where it gets you.”
“What, are you implying something?” Kaiser asks, mocking you, but he seems kind of happy at the insinuation. You’re not about to point it out, though, having a semblance of self-preservation.
“But anyway, your hair,” you say. “It looks good for tugging on.”
He snorts, either at your audacity to speak such things out loud to him, or at the way you straight up ignored his question.
So you elaborate, just so he doesn’t get the wrong idea, “Yeah, like, I kinda wanna grab you and swing you around till you fly outta my grip.”
“What?! As if.”
“It’d be so funny, though.”
“Maybe to other stupid people like you. Dense people who always ruin the fucking moment, for example, that type of thing.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” you say, stifling a laugh before entering the room.
The lights are still on when you come in. Ness seems to be reading some kind of book, sitting upright and all. “Hey, guys. You were gone for a while.”
“We were,” Kaiser says, you assume just because he likes hearing himself talk. “All that time I can’t get back.”
You crouch down to get him a water bottle in case he forgot how dehydrated he was (or more likely decides he’s above getting it by himself). It’s rare for you to do something out of the goodness of your heart, so when you turn around to pass it and find him draping himself over the solitary bed — the one you won dibs on in an honest round of rock, paper, scissors — you swear to never do anything nice for him ever again.
“Hey, get off! It’s mine.”
“But I want it,” he whines, as if his word holds more weight than the aforementioned game of rock, paper, scissors, which, as already established, you won.
You’re about to make an earnest attempt at throwing him out of the bed until Ness comes to his defense. “Come on, leave him alone.”
Saying no to Kaiser is exceptionally easy. But going against what Ness is asking? You can’t get a read on the guy. He’s either way too happy most of the time, or is secretly plotting your murders for all you know. You toss the water bottle at Kaiser, leaving him to smirk at your relenting.
“By the way, do you mind if I turn the lights off after I do my nighttime routine in the bathroom? I’m kind of tired,” Ness says.
“Sure,” allows Kaiser. So generous and charming with a winning personality to boot, this guy.
You lean against the bunk bed and ask, “Oh yeah, why are you still up?”
“I thought it might be rude if I went to bed before you both came back, so I decided to wait.”
Damn, now you feel kind of bad for dilly-dallying for so long. You clutch your chest with a tasteful sense of drama. “You’re so perfect. Hey, Ness, you wanna take the top bunk?”
“Wow, really?”
“Why not at this point,” you say. After all, Ness came in second in the game, but gave it up to Kaiser, and he ruined everything already.
“Thanks!” He grins at you before rushing off to do his business, almost blinding you with the sweetness he emits. Your gaze trails after him until he leaves the room.
Kaiser is looking at you with a mix between scorn and disgust when you walk over to his side to retrieve your phone from the bedside table, but you pretend not to notice.
Figuring you have nothing better to do, you take Ness’s previous spot, lying down on your stomach, ready to check your notifications. In your peripheral vision, you see Kaiser take his shirt off theatrically, then he has the fucking nerve to throw it at you. He makes such a big show out of existing.
It’s probably more painless to throw him a glance now than to be stubborn, so you exhale out of your nostril in resignation and turn your attention back to him. Kaiser props himself on his elbow while reclining on his side, posing on the bed, gracing you with a bastard smile. Almost presenting himself like a Renaissance painting you’re supposed to admire in some chaste, intellectual kind of way.
“Wanna know something?”
“What?” he asks, apparently irritated since you don’t seem so appreciative of him right now.
“I think shitty, obnoxious guys like you need to be put in their place,” you tell him.
It really is way too obvious on his complexion when he starts getting shy. He’s like a breathing mood ring. It’s almost fascinating. For a second, Kaiser is incredulous, but then he turns smug again, addressing you with a sense of challenge. “Don’t even joke. You’re not really about it like that. All you do is talk.”
You think you’re gonna start having even more fun together after today.

No homo I HATE HIM 😍

HELIX matt sturniolo
Tumblr media
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 𝓈𝒾𝓃𝒸𝑒𝓇𝑒𝓁𝓎, dwntwn-strnlo.
↳ 𝐀/𝐍. this request is from july HELP
↳ 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆. matthew sturniolo x reader
↳ 𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐘. piercing date 🤭
↳ 𝐑𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃? yes! . . . reader is best friends with the triplets (and has a soft spot for Matt), they are recording a video and then they talk about things they wanna do, like visiting a certain country, just some rambles. Reader then talks about how she always wanted to get a piercing but is afraid about it and never had the courage to do it. So the next day Matt takes her on a surprise date to a piercing studio where she gets it done. Just some fluffy stuff where he holds her hand and tries to encourage her to do what she always wanted to do. ( @hedgehogperalta )
"okay, okay, here's one." you say, finding a good question. "'what's on the top of your bucket list?'"
"scuba diving for sure," nick answers almost immediately. then trailing on while chris counters with his bucket list.
after the two of them finish, matt turns around in his seat, meeting your eyes. "what about you, y/n?" he smiles lightly, visibly interested in what you would like to do.
"oh," you huff, scanning your brain. you were so invested in nick and chris' rebuttal that you didnt think of your answer. "ive always wanted to get a tattoo or a piercing, but ive always been too scared to do it."
"ooh ive always wanted a helix," nick adds.
matt smiles, "y/n you would look really cool with a helix."
you return the smile, a light blush creeping on your cheeks. "would I really?"
"or just a straight up nose ring," chris encourages.
"right," nick laughs, "you need to go get a piercing for sure."
you smile. ego definitely boosted from all of this encouragement.
. . .
"can i-"
"no." matt huffs, cutting you off. you've asked him the same question over and over, 'where are we going?' 'can I know what we're doing?' and so on.
"well are we at least close?" you ask, looking out the window beside you. watching as the buildings and cars flash past.
matt hesitates, taking a left turn, "just like four more minutes."
you turn to the radio, turning the music down. trying to figure out why in the world matt randomly texted you that he has a surprise for you. but nothing crosses your mind.
"and. . . here we are!" matt says, lightly biting his lip in excitement.
you look out the windshield to find yourself parked in front of a piercing studio.
"matt, holy shit-"
"you were talking about how you wanted a piercing last night and so I figured might as well." he smiles at you, pulling the keys out of the ignition.
suddenly you felt small. nervous butterflies erupting in your stomach. "I dont know if I can do this, matt." you awkwardly chuckle.
"sure you can," he assures, leaning over to meet your eyes. "this is wear nick gets his piercings, it's safe, and they're all kind. I promise."
you look at him with an untrusting look in your eye. still not sure about going through with this.
matt reaches out and grabs your hand, "I can hold your hand while they do it." he says, knitting his brows with an assuring smile.
looking down to you hand intertwined with his, your breath hitches. "well- I can't aff-"
"my treat." he rubs his thumb against the back of your hand, "i wouldn't have drove you all the way out here just to make you pay."
"matt-"
"y/n." he giggles. "quit stalling, kid."
releasing a shaky breath, you nod. "okay." you mumble, nodding your head again before getting out of the van.
matt gets out and meets you at the door. then asking if your ready and opening the door. he lets you walk in first, and then following you in. "appointment for sturniolo." he says, walking up to the front desk.
the lady at the front nods, leading the two of you to a room. "which one of you is it today?" she asks, pulling two gloves on over her hands.
matt gestures to you before sitting down in the chair next to you, "she is."
"awesome," the lady smiles. "you can sit here. and what are you getting?"
"oh- uhm a helix?" you say.
she nods before spinning slightly in her chair to set everything up.
you meet matt's eyes, your face clearly washed with panic.
"you're alright," he whispers soothingly. he picks up your hand you holds it in both of his. gently rubbing your knuckles. "you'll be fine and you'll come out of it looking badass." he laughs lightly.
amusedly rolling your eyes, you smile, "sure."
"okay, you ready?" the lady asks, turning around with her things.
you look at matt and he smiles, silently assuring you again. "yeah, I am." you nervously laugh, squeezing matt's hand tightly.
shutting your eyes, you try focusing on the unintentional rhythm of the way matts thumb slides across your skin. doing your best to completely ignore the quick sting in your ear.
"all done." the lady says.
you open your eyes, looking around confused. "I didn't even notice."
matt smiles, "see, I told you it would be okay."
"thank you, matt."
"of course," he says, his cheeks going a light pink at your praise.

Hi I was wondering if i could request for Peter Hayes where they have a rivalry going on even though she’s super sweet and one day he gets doused with that memory erasing gas and she volunteers to look after him for the time being and while he has no memory he’s just really nice to her and confused and they fall in love with each other. And one day he somehow randomly gets his memories back but he pretends he doesn’t because he’s afraid she’ll leave him until he accidentally slips up and he has to confess that he’s in love with her and was afraid she’d leave him if he had his memory back and went back to his normal self please and thank you :)
ooh it has been WAYY too long since i wrote for divergent!! let's go
'missing link' - peter hayes
masterlist
Tumblr media
The boy knows it shouldn’t be like this.
He feels– strange. Not right. It takes him a moment to realize that might have to do with the fact that he’s crumpled on the ground, and another moment to discover with startling unease that he does not remember ever falling. Nor does he remember what room he’s in, how he got there, or anything else for that matter. Where there should be memories, there is just a blank gray wash in his head, a slate wiped clean of countless experiences.
It should terrify him, the boy thinks, but for some reason, he isn’t reacting to it as he should. Never mind the fact that the boy is not aware enough of who he is to know how he should or should not react to things; finding oneself in a strange place with no memories is grounds for panic, regardless of who he was before all this. A strange calm persists over his mind nonetheless; it’s unnatural, like he’s been sedated or something. You know what that’s like, a voice whispers in the back of his brain. Who the hell is he to be familiar with such a thing?
Before the boy can make a decision as to what he should do, the sound of running footsteps right outside the door jolts him back to reality. Seconds later, a trio of people all dressed in varying shades of black skid into the room. They stare at him. The boy stares back at them. They all seem equally confused as to what is going on, which is weird because as far as the boy is concerned, he’s the only one with gaps in his memory. Surely someone here should have a clue.
One of the three newcomers steps forward, a girl with mousy brown hair. Her black t-shirt has a low neck which reveals a tattoo of three birds against her collarbone. “Peter, what the hell have you done now?”
The boy glances behind him, but there’s no one else in the room, so he assumes Peter is supposed to be him. “What?”
Bird Tattoo looks confusedly at her two friends. For some reason, the expression feels familiar. Maybe this girl spends a lot of her time unaware of her surroundings. It’s probably annoyed him in the past. “We heard a loud noise and wanted to see what was going on. Of course you’re here, that explains things. What did you do?”
“There was a noise?” Peter asks. He doesn’t remember hearing anything like that, but that’s hardly new to him by now.
Immediately, he knows it’s the wrong question. The confusion in the trio’s expressions shifts to genuine alarm. A new girl starts talking, shorter than the rest but by no means less unhappy with him. “Yeah, it was super loud. There’s no way you missed it.”
“Oh,” he says, because they seem to expect him to answer.
Short Girl furrows her brow. “Did something happen? You seem weirdly quiet.”
Peter peers up at her. “Why would you say that? Do I know you?”
Short Girl’s face flashes with anger, but when it becomes clear that Peter isn’t just messing around, her jaw drops. “Oh, no. I think he got into the memory gas.”
The third member of their trio has been silent this whole time, but the final man sucks in a low breath now. “That’s bad. That’s really bad.”
“Memory gas?” Peter prods hesitantly.
“Yeah,” Quiet Guy says, “I see one of the canisters has been tampered with. Your memory has been erased. It’ll probably come back later, but for now, you won’t remember who you are. Or any of the rest of your memories, for that matter.”
Peter stares at him. “Why the fuck would memory gas just be lying around where someone can stumble upon it? What kind of place do you guys live in?”
“You live here too,” Bird Tattoo interjects, “And besides, it isn’t just lying around. This room was locked, I think you broke in. This whole sector is off limits.”
“Then why are you here?” Peter points out.
The trio exchange glances again. “We have to do something about him,” Bird Tattoo says at last.
“Kill him?” Short Girl asks hopefully.
“I would prefer not that,” Peter interjects, earning him three identical glares.
Quiet Guy tilts his head to the side, thinking. “Stick him with someone else. Give him to Y/N. She knows him better than all of us, she’ll figure out something to do to get his memories back.”
Short Girl scoffs. “Yeah, she knows him because he hates her the most. I’m not so sure that’s the best plan.”
“Do you have any other ideas?” Quiet Guy asks, and when both girls are silent, he takes that as his answer. “Alright, we’re taking him to Y/N. End of discussion.”
He offers a hand to Peter, who accepts the offer of help, although this only seems to make the three strangers more unsettled. Evidently, whoever Peter normally is with his memories intact, he doesn’t trust a lot of people. Given how shifty these three are, though, maybe that’s for the best. He follows the trio through strange, dark hallways and up flights of stairs until they’re in a long corridor lined with doors. Living quarters, his mind tells him, although he has no idea where that information came from.
Quiet Guy picks a door and knocks. A few moments later, a girl appears. “Hey, Four,” she says casually, “What can I do for you?”
Quiet Guy– Four, what a weird name– grimaces at her words. “We need you to babysit someone for us.”
“Hey,” Peter protests from the back of their little group.
The sound of his voice calls Y/N’s attention to him, and immediately her expression changes. Whatever friendly demeanor she had worn before is gone now, locked up behind a wall of unreadable blankness. “What’s going on here?”
Bird Tattoo glances behind her in the hallway, even though there’s no one there. “Can we come in?”
Y/N nods, holding open the door for them all to file into her apartment. Maybe he’s just overthinking, but Peter swears she looks at him the longest as he passes. The moment in which their eyes meet feels like it spans several years instead of just one second, but then she blinks and looks away to lock the door behind them and he’s lost his anchor, spinning out into a great sea of mystery once more.
Only once the door is locked and they’ve all moved comfortably away from hearing range of anyone still out in the hallway does Y/N return to them, arms folded across her chest, and ask, “What have you guys done?”
Bird Tattoo shoots a shifty look Peter’s way before speaking. “We found Peter down in some back hall. We think there was an incident with some memory gas. He has no idea who he is.”
Y/N’s jaw drops. “He doesn’t remember anything? Tris, tell me you at least took him to the med wing to get checked out.”
Tris shakes her head imperceptibly. “If anyone knew, they wouldn’t just ask Peter why we were down there, they’d ask us, too. It’s a restricted section.”
Y/N’s lips purse. “So you’re saving yourselves? Awfully brave, you guys. True Dauntless material.”
All three of them look guilty at that, which makes Peter decide immediately that he likes this Y/N girl quite a bit. Four speaks up at last. “He won’t be seriously harmed, I’ve seen this stuff used before. It’ll probably take a few days to a week before he regains all of his memories, but he won’t suffer any brain damage.”
Peter stares at him incredulously. “There was a chance I could have brain damage and you didn’t tell me? I’ll kick your ass the second I remember how.”
Y/N presses a hand to her lips to hide a smile. “That’s enough of that. Tris, Christina, Four, I’ll figure out what to do. You guys can go back to whatever breaking and entering you were doing before this.”
Short Girl, who must be Christina, places a grateful hand on Y/N’s shoulder. “Thank you so much, honestly. We owe you for this.”
“You really do,” Y/N reminds her, and escorts the three of them to the door. 
Once it’s just Peter and Y/N in the room, silence descends upon them both. Peter isn’t sure if he should be speaking or not; he doesn’t remember enough about himself to know if he’s a talker, so he waits to say anything until Y/N walks back to him. 
She glances over him for a second, then sighs. “I’m going to do a medical check. I can’t believe none of them bothered to do one. I think Four was right, you’re not injured, but it can’t hurt. Do you remember how you were exposed to the memory gas?”
“No idea,” Peter says truthfully. “All I know is that I woke up on the ground with no idea who I was.”
She stares at him for a moment, then nods slowly. “You really are different, aren’t you?”
Peter cocks his head to the side, confused. “What do you mean?”
She laughs, although it’s not a happy sound. “The Peter I know would never admit a weakness so freely. You’d answer that question by threatening to stab me. Certainly not with the truth.”
Peter wrinkles his brow. “I sound like an asshole.”
This time, Y/N’s laugh is more genuine. “You kind of are, but we all let it slide. You’re one of the best fighters Dauntless has. If you talked as much as you do without any skill, we’d beat you up for it, but you can back up your sarcasm. Doesn’t mean we don’t try to fight you anyway.”
Peter watches as she retrieves a medical kit from a cabinet, then has them both sit down opposite each other so she can shine a light near his eyes and see how his pupils respond. “What kind of place do we live in if we fight each other all the time? Is this a military base or something?” Peter asks. 
They’re close enough that their knees are touching, which is a strange thing for him to notice, but he gets the feeling that his brain is used to looking for small things like this when it comes to her. His mind automatically focuses on the soft pressure of her hand against his temple like it’s the only thing that matters in the world.
“Something like that,” Y/N answers. “Our city is divided into factions. You’re in Dauntless. We’re the brave ones, the fighters. We keep everyone else safe, but mainly we just try to prove ourselves to each other over and over again.”
There’s a bit of resentment in her tone, which Peter latches on to immediately. “Do we prove ourselves to each other?”
She huffs out a quiet laugh. “Constantly. In order to make it into the faction, you have to go through initiation, which is intense. We were always the top two, always switching off for the top slot. Four led our initiation, he said he’d never seen two people so close. We graduated last year, but you’ve never let go of our rivalry.”
“But you have?” Peter asks.
She shrugs, clicking off the flashlight and returning it to the med kit. “I don’t really care. I’ll fight you when you challenge me, but it doesn’t matter like it did in initiation anymore. You’re no longer an enemy. You seem to think differently, but that’s just my opinion.”
“Do we not see each other anymore? I thought we would have been friends. Isn’t that why the Stiff brought me here?”
Y/N arches a brow. “Interesting nickname to use. I thought you didn’t remember who they were?”
Peter pauses, frowning. “I don’t. It just came out, I guess. What does it mean?”
“It refers to Tris’ home faction, Abnegation,” Y/N responds at last. “You often tease her about it.”
Judging by the sour note in her voice, Y/N isn’t a fan of that. Peter makes a mental note to not do that again. He hadn’t meant to, really, it had just slipped out. Probably like muscle memory or something. What Y/N had said about their rivalry sounds familiar, just like the stuff about Dauntless. It’s like everything he knows is being held behind a massive wall. Peter can catch glimpses of it through chinks in the foundation, but he cannot see it all. Not yet.
Y/N stands up, looking away from him. “You should get some rest. I don’t know if you know the way back to your quarters or where you put your key, so you can crash on my couch if you want.”
Peter frowns. “Is sleep recommended after being subjected to memory gas?”
“Yeah,” Y/N comments wryly, “but mainly, it’s the middle of the night.”
She pulls the shades away from her window to prove her point. Peter glimpses a dark midnight sky outside before the blinds fall against the glass again. Strange, he’d had no idea it was nighttime. The dark halls of Dauntless made it impossible to judge the time of day.
“Sorry for keeping you up,” he says.
Y/N’s expression softens when he apologizes. Again, he gets the feeling it’s not something the other him did all that often. “You didn’t know,” she says at last, and disappears into a room that must be her bedroom. As the door shuts behind her, it occurs to Peter that she never answered his question, the one about if they were friends or not. He doesn’t think so, not based on her description of their rivalry, but wouldn’t she have just said that they didn’t hang out, then?
Peter feels so keyed up after the memory incident that he’s certain he won’t be able to sleep, but he’s hardly closed his eyes before unconsciousness pulls him under. He dreams of dimly lit hallways and large rooms with high ceilings. There’s a girl there too, she’s laughing with friends. Peter wants to be in that circle, making her smile like she is right now, but he somehow knows deep in his gut that she won’t want him there, so instead he asks her to fight, or he says something cruel as he passes. It isn’t right, but it keeps her looking at him, and a curl of something hot up his spine tells him that’s worth it anyway.
The wrongness of it torments him all night. When he wakes up, the brief ghost of her hands floats before his eyes, but it vanishes in moments, and a matter of minutes later Peter finds that he cannot remember a single thing he dreamt of all night. For some reason, this absence hurts him more even than the greater loss of everything else he knew.
Peter had hoped that his memories would return when he woke up, but this is not the case. He tells Y/N as much when she appears out of her bedroom, but she just shrugs and tells him that memory loss patients usually take longer to remember everything. He’ll probably start recalling bits and pieces, but nothing major, not yet.
They decide to leave the room and go to Peter’s place so he can grab some clean clothes. Hopefully, the familiar place will jog his memory, but seeing as it took like an hour for Peter to remember that he put his door key in his back pocket, the odds are slim.
They walk together down the halls, Y/N murmuring the names of people they pass under her breath if he’s supposed to know them. It’s going great until they round a corner and find themselves face to face with a tall, imposing man who makes Y/N’s face slacken with panic immediately.
The man stops when he sees the two of them. “Peter, Y/N. Good to see you two up so early this morning, there’s lots to be done. Peter, were you going to check out the security division today? They say they’ve fixed their camera issue, but I’m not too sure I trust them to do it properly.”
Y/N’s back is perfectly straight, and the only sign that she’s uneasy is the slight widening of her eyes when the man asks them a question. Peter keeps his expression neutral, and an answer appears on his tongue before he even thinks about it. “Not today. I think I’m actually going to shadow Y/N, I want to see the new trainees for myself. The cameras should be fine to delay a little, Max, I supervised their installation just a few weeks ago.”
Y/N blinks in surprise. She’s not the only one confused by Peter’s quick response, he has no idea where that came from, but the man– Max– seems to accept it, so that’s all he can ask for. They part ways soon enough, and once Max is out of earshot, Y/N turns to Peter.
“What was that about? Since when do you remember his name? Or my job?”
“I don’t,” he argues, “It just came out, I don’t know. What do you do with the trainees?”
“I lead initiation. Took over after Eric Coulter decided to switch careers to pursue faction leadership in earnest. I met Tris and Christina because they’re our year, but Four and I teach the trainees together, which is probably why he suggested coming to me instead of anyone else.”
For some reason, hearing this sends a sour spike of resentment through Peter’s gut. “So Four is the reason he sent me to you? Not the two of us?”
“Who knows why Four does anything?” Y/N grumbles. “Could have been anything.”
It’s not really the answer he wants, but he’ll let it go for the time being. “Wait, when do you have to lead the trainees? Are you late?”
She shakes her head as they continue walking. “Four takes them in the early morning, I join them later in the day. I’ll probably head over in an hour or so, but I want to get your quarters sorted out first.”
They reach Peter’s apartment soon enough, but it doesn’t trigger any cascade of memories. He just stands there in the central room and the first thought that comes to his head is, it feels empty. Y/N’s place had seemed more alive, but maybe that’s because she was there. 
“Can I stay at your place?” Peter asks suddenly, “I don’t know if something will happen and I don’t want to be taken by surprise.”
Y/N’s brow furrows, but she nods. “Sure, no problem. Just until you get your memories back.”
“Of course,” Peter agrees, but he swears that it feels like a lie as he says it.
After changing clothes and grabbing some stuff to take back to Y/N’s, they head back again. The journey is easier this time, Peter feels less lost. He remembers the turns and doors of the Dauntless complex faster than he had before. Maybe Four is right and everything will come back over time, but progress is slow going at the moment, and he can’t help but wish it would be faster.
Soon enough, Y/N’s leading him out again, this time to head to initiation. Peter mainly just lurks in the back of the room, pretending to be observing the students as Y/N leads them through some sparring drills. Four is there too, and they exchange some silent glares before Y/N comes back to Peter and he pretends like nothing had been the matter at all.
They walk together, taking a slow lap around the training room. Every now and then, Y/N will call out advice to a pair or shout at someone to stop messing around. Once they complete a circuit, she pauses for a moment, watching the two initiates who were scheduled to fight first in the ring. They both seem evenly matched, and if Peter were to wager a guess he’d say that they’re probably among the top few trainees in the rankings.
Glancing back at Y/N, he notices that her eyes have gained a far-away look. “What’s on your mind?” He asks softly.
She shakes her head slowly, a half-smile rising to her lips. “Nothing. They just remind me of us.”
As Peter watches, one of the initiates manages to throw the other to the ground and pin them there. They count to five, and then the other initiate taps the mat to yield. The winning trainee releases their opponent, and they both crawl off to their respective groups.
Peter cocks his head to the side. “Did we ever let each other go so easily after a fight?” He has faint memories of punching someone until they stopped moving, of pleas for surrender being ignored. Peter has the faint and nauseating idea that he might be a terrible person. No wonder Y/N had looked upon watching over him as a burden. No wonder they all did.
“Never,” she whispers back. “Neither of us walked away unless we were both bloody.”
“That’s because you were the only one who was willing to go all the way,” Peter argues, although strangely enough he doesn’t feel like he’s the one saying it. Instead, past him is reaching through his mouth to speak it, totally ignoring whatever Peter’s plan is now.
Y/N looks at him, startled, but whatever memory Peter had briefly encountered is gone, and he stays silent. She does too, and when they leave training that day, Peter cannot be sure if the outing was good for either of them.
Peter crashes on her sofa again that night. He’s not entirely sure that he really needs to stay there, but the thought of leaving her to go back to his empty apartment is immediately shut down by his brain, so he decides against it. He has another dream of something, something important, but again, he does not recall it when he wakes. His cheeks are wet when he opens his eyes, but he doesn’t remember crying. There is a lot that he does not remember.
It’s still early when Peter wakes, so he has time to pull himself together and get changed before Y/N comes out of her room. Once she’s up, she makes breakfast for them both, and they stay out on her pathetic excuse for a balcony while they eat. It’s really no more than a glorified fire escape, but there’s enough room for them both, so it’s good enough for now. They’re leaning against the wall of the building. Their shoulders touch listlessly. It nearly destroys him.
The days repeat like skipped tracks on a broken record. They wake, they stay together, they sleep. Y/N relaxes around him more and more; it kills him that he is someone she would have to fear, but he’s getting the feeling that there is no one to blame for that but himself. Peter remembers a little more every day, but not enough.
And then one morning they’re both up at the same time, and the windows have been flung into let in the warm, rosy light of dawn. Y/N is laughing at something he said, and it occurs to Peter that this is perfect. That she is perfect. That maybe he doesn’t ever want his memories to return, because when that happens he’ll have to go away, and Peter doesn’t want this to end, not ever.
Perhaps his mind has a sick sense of humor, because it’s only when Peter discovers that he doesn’t want his memories that they finally break down the wall and surge back into his mind. He almost doubles over from the force of them, a million words and pictures swarming his head. His name is Peter Hayes. He was born in Candor but chose Dauntless in his Ceremony. He’s one of the best they have, on a fast track to being a faction leader. Everyone here is terrified of him, and those that aren’t afraid hate him more than they hate the devil or death itself.
There is only one person who does not check those boxes, and that is Y/N. Peter knew it from the very first day, and when he couldn’t make her fear him, he started up the rivalry, but even that wouldn’t make her hate him. He could never make her break, but he tried. It twists his stomach to think of how he tried. At the end, she was the one who won, and he left initiation realizing that he would never be able to let her go until the day he died. 
He attempted to forget her, but nothing worked. He even got a job far away from initiation when he heard she would be a training leader because he had to cut her out of his head in every way that he could. The scalpel is bloody, but the obsession is rooted deep, it keeps growing back. One night he realized that he loved her, and that was the point of no return.
Peter Hayes does not fall in love. He is cruel and calculating. That’s why Dauntless needs him like a shattered bone needs to destroy every bit of muscle and sinew around it. Peter knew that he had to fix his heart before it fell even further, so he slipped out to the sectors of Dauntless where no one was supposed to go except the faction leaders. He knew how to cover his tracks, he’d tampered with the cameras ages ago when they were set up and he could freeze the live footage whenever he wanted. No one would have been there. No one would have known.
No one would have seen him when he slipped inside. Peter knows Dauntless got a shipment of memory gas a couple of days ago. He knew where to find it, and he knew that only a little bit would be enough to make him forget that his feelings for Y/N had ever existed. All it would take was one breath of the stuff, and then it would be over.
It hadn’t been that easy, though. The canisters were unwieldy and difficult to operate. There had been a problem with opening them; Peter had unscrewed the valve more than he’d thought and it had all come out at once. He remembers barely being able to close it in time, and then the effects of the gas had pulled him over and he’d crumpled to the ground, knocking over a few boxes while he was at it. The sound had alerted the other intruders in the area, namely Tris, Christina, and Four, and then he had lost the last of his memories and woke up with no idea who he was.
The reality of it all makes his mind reel. Peter had known it all this time, but it had been kept secret from him by his own mind. He has always loved her, and the truth of it was more than he could handle. He’d tried to separate himself from Y/N by using the memory gas, but that had just flung him more decisively in her path.
He straightens up slowly. Peter isn’t sure how long it had taken for his memories to return, but it must have shown in his appearance, because Y/N is starting to look at him strangely. “Everything alright, Peter?”
She’s asking about him. She genuinely cares about how he’s doing. This never would have happened before. It won’t happen again if she thinks that he’s back to whoever he was before the memory loss. Peter has to cover his tracks perfectly, then, and what that requires is a perfect lie. Fortunately for him, he’s got more than enough experience in that field.
“Yeah,” he says smoothly, “Just swallowed water the wrong way. I love nearly suffocating to start off my mornings.”
He expects her to laugh as he says it, like she usually would, but instead her eyes narrow. “You’re lying.”
Peter stares at her. “No, I’m not. In what world was that a lie?”
“In your world,” she argues. “It was too easy. You never admit things about yourself that freely. You can lie perfectly, but you don’t know how to be honest. It unsettles you. Now, tell me. What happened?”
Peter stares at her, and she meets his gaze steadily. This is it, then. This is the end. She won’t want to be around him anymore, not once she knows that the burden of watching over him is no longer her responsibility. “I remembered,” he whispers at last, “I remembered everything.”
Her eyes widen. “Everything?”
“Everything,” Peter confirms. “Every time I hurt you. Every time you tried to be kind to me and I shut it down.” His voice cracks on the last syllable. “Why’d you let them stick me with you if I was this terrible to you all this time? I have been awful to everyone around me.”
“But you weren’t,” Y/N says quietly. “Not to me. Not now. You’ve been nice this whole time. I thought that would stop when you got your memories back, but it didn’t.”
A brief pain flashes across her eyes, and then she clears her throat, studiously looking away. “I suppose you’ll want to leave now. Do you know why you lost your memories, or was that just an accident?”
“It wasn’t an accident,” Peter tells her on impulse. “I wanted to forget that– That I loved you, Y/N. I knew it and it nearly killed me, knowing you’d never feel the same way. I tried to make myself forget it so I wouldn’t have to hurt like that anymore.”
Y/N’s gaze snaps back to him. Her eyes are wide, and when Peter slowly walks closer to her, he thinks they’re both waiting for something, some great sign that what they’re doing is right. When he kisses her, he knows it’s right. He knows that it’s all he’s ever wanted. As it was at the start, so it will be at the end:  the two of them until forever.

The Tattoo
Summary: You scheduled a tattoo appointment for yourself, Bly is hurt that you won’t tell him what you’re getting a tattoo of.
Pairing: Commander Bly x F!Reader
Word Count: 1271
Warnings: None
Tagging: @trixie2023 @n0vqni @imabeautifulbutterfly
A/N: I love Bly. So much. More people should write for him.
Tumblr media
You open the door to your apartment, and sigh when Bly breezes past you and settles himself at your kitchen table. “Hello to you too,” You call into the house as you shut the door and follow him into your kitchen.
Carelessly, you drop into the chair across from him.
Bly has a small smile on his face as he leans across the table, “You’re breaking my heart, cyar’ika.” The familiar nickname falls from his lips easily, it’s a shame that you don’t speak a lick of Mando’a and it’s even more of a shame that no one will tell you what it means.
You roll your eyes, “It’s a tattoo, Bly. It’s not like I’m moving to Tatooine to start a new life as a moisture farmer.”
“Yeah, but, not only did I have to find out about this from my brothers,” He says pointedly, “You won’t tell me what you’re getting a tattoo of. So. Heart broken.”
“Oh, come on. You’re covered in tattoos.” You point out as you gesture, vaguely, towards the golden tattoos flowing down his arms, and peeking out from the collar of his shirt.
“Please tell me what your tattoo is going to be?” He drapes himself across your table dramatically and folds his hands over yours, “The curiosity is killing me.”
“You’ll just have to wait and see. Just like everyone else.”
“Oh! You can let me go with you!”
“No, Bly.” There’s an amused smile on your lips, “It’s supposed to be a surprise.”
“I’m surprised. I didn’t know you were interested in tattoos.”
“Well…I’m not really.” You shrug, “I lost a bet.”
Bly immediately sits up, and something dangerous slides through his eyes, “What.”
“Easy Bly.” Your amusement grows, “Your overprotective tendencies are showing.”
“Is someone forcing you to get this?”
“Not forcing me, no. I did agree to the bet willingly. And I’m able to choose the tattoo and the location, so it’s not so bad.”
Still, he frowns, “If you don’t want a tattoo then don’t get one. If anyone has a problem with it, they can take it up with me.”
“Bly,” His dark eyes snap to your face, “I’m okay with it. Really.”
Some of the offended tension drains from his shoulders, “What bet did you lose anyway?”
At that your face burns, “Um…not important.”
You’re definitely not going to admit that you had a bet with Stripe on whether or not Bly was romantically involved with General Secura. You thought he was, as much as it broke your heart, Stripe was convinced that he wasn’t.
Stripe was right.
Which is a win/lose scenario for you. Win because you might, possibly, have a chance with him now. Lose because you do have to get a tattoo.
Bly slides into the chair next to you and pokes your cheek, “Cyar’ika,” He coos, “What was the bet?”
You bat his hand away, “I’m not telling.”
“Is it embarrassing? Ooh, was it a sex bet.”
“What? No!” You stare at him, “Why would you ask that?”
“Curious.” But there’s something odd in his smile, “Come on, cyar’ika. Tell me? Please?”
“Fine!” You fold your arms, and pointedly won’t look at him, “I had a bet with Stripe,”
“Uh-huh.”
“About whether or not you’re dating General Secura.”
Bly blinks at you. Twice.
“And…uh…who started the bet?”
“Stripe.”
“Right. Right.” He stands and drops a kiss to your temple, “Cool. Cool, cool, cool. I’m going to go beat the shit out of my brother. Comm me when your tattoo is done? I wanna see it.”
“Uh…sure? Why are you-?”
“Don’t worry about it. Reasons!”
Tumblr media
Several hours later, Bly hurries back to his cyar’ika’s apartment, absently massaging his bruised knuckles.
Stripe deserved the beat down he got. And sure, General Secura had been Not Pleased with the fight, but it had been well deserved.
Stripe conned his cyar’ika and forced her to get a tattoo, for all that she claimed that he wasn’t forcing her. It wasn’t a fair bet. Stripe knows how Bly feels about his cyar’ika. 
The look of resigned acceptance on his brother’s face when Bly returned to the Barracks did make him a little less annoyed. But only a little. 
Bly runs up the stairs and reaches the door at the same time as his cyar’ika.
A small smile crosses her pretty lips, “That was quick.” She teases lightly.
“Well, I was waiting for the comm,” Bly admits as he scans her body, but he doesn’t see any bandages that might hide a tattoo, “Where is it?” 
She rolls her eyes with a laugh, and keys open the door, “So impatient, Bly. I thought you were supposed to be a commander.” Her voice is light and teasing.
“I am, but this has been killing me.” He follows her into the house, and smacks the button to shut and lock the door, “Come on, cyar’ika. Where is it? Did you back out?”
“No. Rude.” She pauses, “Did you think I would?”
“No. Of course not.” Bly lies…badly.
“Bly!”
“What! You said they weren’t really your thing.” He says defensively.
She folds her arms over her chest, and Bly tries, really hard, to not drop his gaze to her breasts. He will be respectful, damn it.
Her lips twitch, “You want to see it?”
“Yes! Please.”
She laughs, “Alright, alright. Just so you know, I have to take off my shirt.”
He pauses, “Where, exactly, is your tattoo?”
“On my back.” She says with a grin.
“Alright, let’s see it.”
She turns around and peels her shirt off, and Bly’s breath catches in his throat. Partly because she is half naked, in front of him, and he’s kind of stupid when it comes to her, but partly because of the design on her back.
It looks like his.
Well. Sort of.
Rather than just geometrical designs, hers look more like vines, with stunning gold flowers decorating the across her shoulder and down her side. In fact, the gold of the flowers looks almost identical to the gold of his own tattoos.
He steps closer and lightly, very lightly, trails a finger across the vine.
“Beautiful.” He breathes out, only half talking about the tattoo. 
She turns her head to look at him, a grin on her lips, “Yeah?”
Bly’s gaze locks with hers, and he smiles, “Yeah.” He’s not talking about the tattoo anymore. 
His fingers slide across the back of her neck to grip her shoulder, and he lightly spins her so that she’s facing him. “I have a confession.”
“Oh?”
“Stripe conned you. He knew he was going to win that bet.”
She blinks, “What?”
“Stripe knows, perfectly well, who I have a thing for and he knows very well that it isn’t General Secura. He’s known for months. All of them know.” Bly brushes the back of his fingers against her cheek, “It’s why I had to go beat the shit out of him.”
She frowns lightly, “Well, that wasn’t nice of him.”
“No, it wasn’t.”
“So…who are you interested in then?” She asks with a frown.
Bly laughs, “It’s not obvious?” He asks as his fingers trail from her cheek to lightly grip her chin. “It’s you. It’s always been you. It’ll always be you.”
Her lips part in surprise.
“Can I kiss you?”
A small smile crosses her lips, “Yes. Please.”
Bly crashes his lips against hers. And while Stripe got everything he deserved, he might go a bit easier on him for the next couple of days. After all, his con encouraged him to confess to his pretty cyar’ika. And that’s deserving of a reward.

23. Would it be okay?
Tumblr media
“Hey, sunshine!" Claire greets Stevie as she slides behind the counter to put her apron on. Another white rose to put in her pink vase by her register, for the day.
"Hey, love. How are you?"
"I'm great! I see you are, too!" She pokes her side.
"A lot has happened."
"Like..." Claire trails off, waiting for her to continue.
"I went to go see my family in Cali, Rod got my name tattooed, uhh.."
“Wait, what?" Claire's eyes widened in surprise, her mouth ajar. "He got your name tatted?? Where??"
"On his neck, girl." Stevie leans back on the counter with a dreamy look in her eyes. "It looks so good."
"Wow... a chain and a tattoo! What kind of honey do you got between them thighs, gurl?" 
Stevie covers her bosses mouth.
“You're just as reckless as he is!"
Claire swats her hand and cackles, her eyes flickering toward the door as a customer walks through.
"You're safe, for now. I'm taking you to lunch and we're gonna continue this little conversation." Stevie groans, before throwing herself into work.
Three hours and a stained apron later, Stevie finishes off her coffee cake and joins Claire in her brand new white Jeep.
"Ooh, this is new!" Stevie exclaims, sliding into the cheetah lined passenger seat.
"Bought it, last week, actually!" Claire cheeses, flicking the black ice air freshener, hanging on her mirror. She turns her car on and pulls out of the parking lot.
"Black people and black ice! Jesus!" Stevie face palms.
"I had to! You don't have one in your car??"
"No... is that bad?"
"Nah. If your car smells good, you don't need it."
"Rod's got one in his car. It's the new car scent one."
"Such a man," Claire snickers.
"Same thing I said!" She laughs, folding her hands in her lap. "So, where are we going to eat?"
"Melrose's. She's got the best cuban I've ever tasted." Claire dances in her seat.
"I've always wanted to taste one. They're really good?"
"Yes!" she pats Stevie's leg. "One thing you gotta learn about me is that food is my favorite— second to Bianca, of course."
"I'm learning! How's she, by the way?"
"She's great. She went back home to see her parents and left me all alone for a week. It's so boring."
"Oh, I'm sure you make good use of your time. It can't be that bad." Stevie laughs.
"Well, how did you feel when you went out of town to go see your folks? Didn't you go by yourself?"
"Rod actually went with me." Stevie says before pursing her lips.
"Y'all make me sick. Seriously."
"I'm sorry! But, come on... you don't have anything to occupy your time??"
"Not really!" Claire frowns, "it's just me and Biscuit. Little fucker’s just as sad as I am. Bianca and I take turns calling each other, but it's not the same. I mean, I'm glad she can go see them, but I miss her."
"You're making me sad, Claire. Hopefully the week goes by quickly for you." Claire sighs in response.
༺═──────────────────────────────═༻
"I'm stuffed." Stevie says, popping another potato chip in her mouth.
"You liked the sandwich, I see." Claire laughs.
"I did! Me and pickles have a love/hate relationship, but it was tolerable. Thanks for lunch, boo."
"Anytime! Now, back to the lot that has happened..." she trails off.
"Oh boy, I knew you were gonna do that," Stevie laughs.
"I went to see my family in Cali. I haven't been there since my grandma died. So, that was something that I had obviously been putting off, but it wasn't bad and I actually ended up having a good time. They fell in love with Rod, of course. Then, we came back and got back into the swing of classes, which hasn't been too bad, either— oh! I actually dropped a bunch of them and I get to graduate early, now!"
"Really?? I'm so happy for you! You've been talking about that forever!"
"I know! It's a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, I tell you. This bachelors degree better pay off!"
"It will! I feel it!" They laugh, before falling into a comfortable silence.
"Can I ask you a question?" Stevie asks.
"Sure, wassup?"
"You ever feel like you're moving really fast in your relationship, but it feels fine at the same time?"
"In the beginning, yeah. That's kinda normal."
"Are we still considered a “new couple”, though?"
"No," Claire laughs, “you guys are basically married, at this point."
"But, where's this coming from?" She asks.
"I don't know... it's just something I've been thinking about. We've been through a lot, since the beginning of our relationship and I just don't wanna jump the gun on anything, even though I feel like we've already done that."
"Well, you guys are different, like any couple, there's different circumstances and understandings. If both of you know what it is, it doesn't matter how anybody else views the pace of your relationship. Y'all are joined at the hip and that's perfectly fine."
"You're right.”
"I know." Claire winks.
Stevie balls up a napkin and tosses it at her head.
"First and last time I ever tell you that."
༺═──────────────────────────────═༻
Finally getting off work, Stevie drags herself upstairs and plops down on her own bed, for a change.
"Ugh, I missed my bed!" She sighs to herself, reaching over to turn her lamp on. She gets up and strips out of her work clothes, throwing on one of Rod's T-shirts, fitting her like a dress.
"Alright, let's see." She grabs her notebook off her nightstand and opens up to a clear page, letting her pen glide across.
Would it be okay?
If I stayed around.
If I got comfortable, in your presence.
Slip into your shadows,
Keep you safe.
Would it be okay?
If I loved you more than life.
If I screamed it to the heavens,
Even though God, herself, already knew?
Destiny. Fate.
I can't hide it.
 Would it be—
Folding the top corner, she yawns and closes her book and lays back down, knocking out in minutes.
An hour later, she's woken up by Rod gently massaging the balls of her feet. Rubbing her eyes, she lazily stares in his direction.
"Hey,"
"You look like a little kid, when you wake up," he chuckles, bending down to kiss her ankle.
"Am I cute kid?"
"Mhm. I hope our babies look just like you." He says, making her heart skips a beat.
"Here I am, hoping they'll look like you." She laughs. "How was your day?"
"Tiring as hell. My first night closing up went smooth, but it's so much I had to do, before I could get outta there. If it wasn't worth it, I'd fight somebody." He shakes his head.
"I'm sorry, baby. Here," she pulls her feet out of his grasp and pats the middle of the bed. "I'll rub your back."
Plopping face first into her pink pillow, he makes himself comfortable. She giggles at the sight, actually grabbing her disposable camera and snapping a picture.
"Whatchu gigglin' ‘bout, girl?" His muffled voice aids her laughter.
"Nothing.”
Mounting his lower back, she starts in the middle, working out a knot on the left side. "Pressure fine?"
"Mhm.”
"Okay... I wrote another piece, today."
"Yeah? Have you decided on which one you wanna perform, yet?" He asks.
"I might just do this one. It flowed so naturally."
"Can I read it?"
"No, it's a surprise!" She whines, pressing her thumb into the base of his neck.
"Mngh. I thought I was special, babygirl?"
"Nope. That's not gonna work on me, tonight. Your special ass better be front and center, when I get on that stage."
He laughs. "I told you, I wouldn't miss it for the world. When are you planning on doing it?"
"I'm not sure, yet. Soon, though."
He nods, fully relaxing under her touch, soon falling asleep. Smiling to herself, she slides off his back and snuggles into his side, burying her face in his neck.
༺═──────────────────────────────═༻
"You really like this dude, huh?" Rod asks Tyler.
"I really do! He's so sweet." Tyler blushes.
"He better be."
"Usually I wouldn't care, cause I don't keep them around, but, I wanna do something right, this time, you know?"
"Yeah, I feel you. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Let him know that I fight." He points at her, while backing up.
"Will do." She salutes him. "So, does that make you like big brother or something?"
"Hell yeah! You got me in your corner, shorty."
"Thanks," she gives a soft smile, "for everything, seriously."
"You're welcome, spud." He jogs upstairs, finding Stevie on her computer.
"Whatchu doin', babe?"
"Getting back to my guidance counselor. I need to know how many credits I have, to see how many I need to graduate in February."
"Ah. Aren't you glad you listened to Tyler? You get to get outta there, super early."
"I know! I didn't even know I could graduate this early in advance, but dropping those extra classes made it possible."
"See!, instead of us leaving you, we all get to graduate at the same time." He chuckles, kissing her cheek.
"Josh and Jay are in town tonight, so I'm gonna go hang out with them for a couple hours. I'll be back before–"
"Why're you giving yourself a curfew?" She turns around in her chair, staring up at him.
"Well, I don't wanna just waltz in here, super late, I feel like that's rude."
"Well, if it were a night where I was staying home, I'd agree with you, but I've got plans, too."
"Yeah? Where you headed?"
"Back to the poetry club, so I can talk to Suga and show her my work, see when I can set up a time to perform it." 
He kneels in front of her with a smile on his face.
"Alright, my talented ball of sunshine. Be safe. Call me if you've got any problems, okay?"
"Will do," a couple quick pecks turns into a juicy kiss, leaving her giggling against his lips.
"Okay, okay! Get out, before I cuff you to my bed." He grunts.
"Shit, let me call the fellas, right now." They both laugh and stand up.
"You're so foolish."
"You encourage it, baby. But seriously, have fun. I know you're gonna get your drink on— is Tyler going, too?"
"Yeah, she's got another date, tonight. I actually gotta help her pick out an outfit. She's kinda nervous."
"Yeah, we talked, earlier. She really likes ol' dude."
"He's such a sweetheart! If you met him, you'd like him, too."
"Yeah well, as long as she's happy, that's all that matters. You two have fun tonight."
"You guys, too. Tell your friends I said hello."
"Will do. I love you." He kisses her forehead, then her lips twice more.
"I love you, more."
The pair head out of the room; Rod downstairs and Stevie into Tyler's room, where she's frantically throwing an outfit together.
"Okay, what about this? Since it's cold as shit outside, I can wear my black jeans— you know, the ones that make my butt look fantastic?” Stevie nods. “Okay those, with either the v-cut bodysuit or the purple crop top and throw my oversized jacket over it."
"Do the oversized look, that's cute!"
"Okay. Chunky heels?"
"Definitely."
"Okay, I'm gonna get ready."
"Same. I'll meet you downstairs."
༺═──────────────────────────────═༻
Stepping back into Stevie's new favorite place, she heads straight for the bar, while Tyler heads towards a table where her new boo is waiting on her.
“Have fun!” She calls after her friend.
“You too!” She calls back.
"Hey, beautiful!" Suga greets her with a hug, sitting on the stool beside her.
"Hey, girl!"
"Oooh, is that it??” She points to the book that sits on the countertop.
"It is! You wanna read it??"
"Hell yeah!"
Stevie opens up to the page and sits it in front of Suga, nervously watching her eyes dance across the page.
"Oh, Stevie..." she says, pressing a hand to her chest.
"You hate it, don't you?" Stevie frowns.
"Wha— no!! This is beautiful!"
"Really? It's not too mushy or anything?"
"Babe, you worry too much. It's perfect. I wish I had a love like this poem!" Suga exclaims, making Stevie blushes.
"Okay, stop it!"
"Seriously! I've never been jealous of words, until now."
"My cheeks are gonna fall off my face, if you don't stop!"
"Okay, I quit. When do you wanna perform it??"
"Like, within the next week or so would be great! Ya know, before I lose the nerve."
"Okay! Let me go grab Carmen. She's the owner."
"Okay, cool! Thank you!”
As Stevie's waiting to meet the illustrious Carmen, her eyes trail over to Tyler in order to get a glimpse of how well her date is going, and her jaw hits the ground at what she sees.
Chris is lifted from his seat slightly to meet Tyler's lips in a lip lock that feels steamy, even at a distance.
"Alright, now," Stevie remarks quietly as she sips her tropical lemonade.
Her people watching continues for a few moments more, taking in the melanated group of lovers and friends alike.
"Hey, Stevie," Suga catches her attention, causing her to swivel in her seat in the direction of her voice, "this is Carmen."
She's greeted with a caramel-toned woman in her mid-20s, with a head full of shocking red curls and delicate features.
"Suga's told me so much about you! It's nice to finally meet you." Her voice is just as delicate.
"Likewise," she responds. "This is definitely one of my favorite places to be."
Her smile is warm, yet lights up the room. "I'm glad. I hear you're ready to get up on that stage. Now I hope you don't mind, but Suga let me take a glimpse at the piece you're thinking about performing, and girl it's dope! Made we wanna love on somebody."
Stevie blushes a deep crimson at the compliment, chuckling softly.
"Thanks. It's unfinished actually."
"Well sweetheart, whenever it's finished you're more than welcome to a spot on our night for new talent."
Stevie has butterflies of excitement and nervousness when she hears that.
"You're serious?" Stevie asks, just to make sure this isn't some cruel joke.
"As serious as serious can get, baby doll. You got something special."
Her heart soars and her cheeks flush once again, not used to the profuse amount of love for her craft.
"I can't thank you enough, Carmen. I won't let you two down," she says, addressing the two women.
"I know," Carmen winks. She quietly excuses herself to make her rounds around the place.
Stevie thanks Suga one more time, before she decides to not be a third wheel in Tyler's budding romance and take the train back home.
She walks the easy block and a half to the nearest station, taking in the full-bodied sounds of the city that have become music to her over the years.
Descending the concrete steps, she's greeted with a scent she'll probably never get used to, muttering all the money this damn city makes, and they can't scrub the piss smell outta here.
She looks left to right, and makes sure the coast is clear. She hops the turnstile like it's a hurdle, as if the heels she wears are tennis shoes.
Her timing is impeccable as the trusty red line subway car pulls up right as the toe of her shoe hits the yellow line.
Stepping on, she thanks the man upstairs that it's not crowded. Clutching onto the pole, she quietly hums as the train starts moving.
Feeling like she's being watched, she turns her head in the direction of the perpetrator, his coal black eyes scanning her body, making her feel like she needs a shower.
Her skin prickling up with anxiety as every bad memory, attached to a man, comes flooding back to her. A chill rushes up her spine as her brain screams run.
Her eyes become trained on the doors, as the insides of her hands clam up. Her curiosity leads her eyes back towards the man. The tattoo on his hand caused her mind to race.
Her heart starts beating triple time as the train continues to take its sweet time getting to its first stop.
She can feel his eyes on her as she keeps her gaze forward.
"It's okay... we'll get off soon." She whispers to herself.
Coming to a stop, she watches a couple of people get off, before coolly walking off behind them. She peers over her shoulder, watching him flash a smirk her way but stay on the train.
As the train whizzes away into the darkness, a rush of relief comes over her as she heads towards the street. Grabbing her phone out of her purse, she calls Rod.
He picks up on the first ring. "Hey, baby. You good?"
"Yeah, I'm okay. I just— I don't know. I had a moment, I guess." She walks into the nearest corner store.
"What do you mean, a moment?"
"I had the bright idea to take the train back home and there was this guy that kept staring at me. He looked so much like John and I don't know... I just freaked out, so I got off a helluva lot earlier than I should have."
"Baby, where are you?"
"Chuey's food mart. But, listen, you don't have to come and get me. I can call a cab or—"
“For what? It's almost ten o'clock. It's too dark for you to be catching cabs, when I can just come and get you."
"But, you're out with your boys!" She sighs as she heads down an aisle, "I feel like I'd be cutting your night short."
"We can meet up, whenever. Your safety is more important to me, right now." He assures her.
"Okay."
"Ima catch y'all later, aight?... yeah, gotta get my shorty to the crib... aight, baby girl. I'm on my way."
"Alright." She hangs up and walks around the spacious store, picking up a couple snacks along the way.
Ten minutes go by, and she's standing in front of the many candy choices, when the chimes go off near the front and the sound Rod's car keys fill her ears.
Passing by a couple of people, she spots the back of his head as he searches for her. Catching up to him, she tugs on his jacket.
He turns around and the worried crease in his forehead disappears as he pulls her into his chest, a heavy sigh leaving him.
"You're smushing my snacks!" She giggles as he rocks her side to side. "Rod!"
A soft laugh escapes her as he pulls away to hold her face in his hands.
"Seems like you missed me."
"Hell yeah! I was worried about you, girl."
"I didn't mean to worry you." She frowns.
"It's okay, baby. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm glad you're here." She links her finger in his jacket pocket. "Did you speed?"
"Maybe, a little. I ain't wanna waste no time– leave an opportunity for something bad to happen, ya know?"
"Yeah,” she sighs, “thanks for coming to get me. I appreciate you."
She stands on her tiptoes, staining his lips with her gloss.
"It's never a problem, babygirl." He grabs the snacks out of her hands to carry himself.
"Let's see what we got here," he announces from behind her as she walks down another aisle. "Salt and vinegar chips— ah, the chip of choice! We got some sno balls... some hostess cupcakes. Hm, you on your period?"
"You know," she abruptly turns around, making him bump into her, "I hate that you know me that well. And, no I've got like another week, I think."
"Well, it'd be dumb if I didn't pick on something, at this point," he chuckles. "And, you think?"
"Yeah... what's today?"
"The fifteenth. I only know that, ‘cause my milk expired today."
"I hope you threw it away."
"I will, when I get home."
She scoffs. "Anyway. It usually comes on the twentieth."
"Oh, okay. Oh yeah! What did they say about you performing?"
"I'm gonna perform on their night for new talent," a cheesy smile makes its way onto both of their faces.
"That's amazing! When??" He asks.
"Friday! Can you make it?"
"Hey, I told you that I would be there. I might have to tie Lee to his chair for a few hours," he says, making Stevie roll her eyes at his antics, "but, I'll be there."
༺═──────────────────────────────═༻
For the past fifteen minutes, Stevie has been pacing back and forth, rehearsing her poem.
To say she's nervous is definitely an understatement. If it wasn't a guarantee that Rod would be able to make it to her performance, she might've went insane.
"Okay, Nikki Giovanni, you ready?” Tyler walks into her room, fiddling with the cuffs on her black button-down.
Stevie scoffs at the name. "Don't give me that much credit. You think Nikki got this nervous, before her performances?"
"Duh. Everybody's susceptible to being nervous. You're gonna kill it, alright? Don't stress.” She assures her, rubbing her shoulder.
"Thanks. How do I look?"
"Like you wanna end up pregnant, by the end of the night." 
Stevie rolls her eyes, turning back to the mirror.
"What?? You asked." Tyler defends.
"Yes. Cause, a simple “you look good” wouldn't have sufficed."
"Well, that was my way of saying it. But, okay you look so damn good, friend!  Are you ready, now?" Tyler asks, smirking at the middle finger she gave her through the mirror.
"Yeah.” She sighs, reaching for her coat and bag. “Let's go, before I hide under my bed."
“Oh my god!” Tyler cackles, pushing her out of the room and down the steps.
Fifteen minutes later, Rod heads backstage, finding Stevie knocking back a shot of Brandy. As she fixes her skirt, he slides up behind her, waving the pink roses in her line of sight.
"For you, beautiful."
The gasp she lets out makes him laugh. She turns around and throws her arms around his neck.
"Thank you, baby! And, thank God, you're here. I've been going absolutely crazy for the last hour!"
"I thought you said you weren't nervous?" He sits the flowers on the table and rubs her shoulders.
"Well, I wasn't! Until I re-realized that I'd be speaking in front of a bunch of strangers and now I'm terrified. What if I mess up? What if they don't like it, you know? What if I vomit on stage, like I did when I was younger??" She spirals, wide-eyed.
"Hey, look at me." He cups her chin, her wandering orbs lining up with his. "You're gonna go out there and do amazing. You're not gonna mess up. It's normal to be nervous. It's your first time. But, you've got this. Your poetry is phenomenal. Anybody would be a fool to dislike it."
"You really mean that?" She asks.
"Every word."
A playful pout graces her lips as she kisses him.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. Now, can I get something off my chest, right quick?" He asks with a heavy breath.
Her freshly waxed left brow raises.
"What?"
"You look so fucking good, vie.”
She blushes, instantly.
“Yeah?” Her voice came out small.
“Mm, smell good, too. Do a spin for me,” he steps away from her, watching her twirl.
Her curls bounced underneath her brown fur hat, skin shimmering in her matching off the shoulder top and pants, chunky heels to set the look off. Mascara, her signature lip and scent combo.
"Mm.. whatever you want, you can have it."
"Shut up!" She laughs as he pulls her back to him.
"I'm serious."
"Anything, huh?"
"Mhm., my car, my crib, money... last name, kids.." their lips naturally reunite in heat, squashing her nerves and almost making her forget about her whereabouts.
"Rod," her hands slide up his chest.
"Hm?"
"It's almost time for me to go on," she mumbles, giggling at his relentless pecks.
"Aight. you still nervous?"
"No, but I've gotta redo my lipstick, now." She shakes her head, wiping it off his mouth.
"My bad, shorty. I can't get enough, sometimes."
"Hey, Stevie!— oh, I'm sorry. I'll come back.
They turn to look at Suga in the doorway, before snickering.
"No, you're fine! Suga, this is my boyfriend, Rod. Rod, this is Suga."
"It's nice to meet you! I've heard nothing but wonderful things." They shake hands.
"Likewise. I appreciate you helpin' my girl out and getting her up on this stage."
"It's no problem. She's a super talented woman."
"That, she is." His gaze lingers on Stevie, making her swoon at the sight.
"So cute! I just came to tell you that we've got a couple minutes. You all set to go?"
"Yeah, let me fix my makeup, really quick." She rushes over towards her bag to reapply.
"Ima go grab my seat." he walks over and kisses the top of her head. "You're gonna do amazing."
"Thank you, baby." She smiles.
He mirrors her expression, before heading out to the front.
"Where'd you find him? He got any brothers?" Suga asks, sitting on the leather couch.
“That he does, let me find out you tryna get the hook up,” Stevie laughs, turning towards her once she's done.
“Hook me up, girl!” Suga joins in, before standing to her feet. “You ready?”
"I am! Let's do this."
༺═──────────────────────────────═༻
“Alright y'all, give it up for our next newcomer, Stevie!”
The applause makes Stevie smile as she emerges from behind the curtain and takes Suga's spot on the stage.
"Thanks," she nervously pushes a curl behind her ear. "I'm a little nervous, so bear with me. This piece is called Would it be okay? It's a personal piece of mine. I'm actually really excited to share it with y'all, so I hope y'all enjoy it." Her eyes set on Rod, sending a wink his way.
A soft light graces her physique as she calms herself and begins speaking.
Would it be okay?
If I stayed around.
If I got comfortable, in your presence.
Slip into your shadows,
Keep you safe.
Would it be okay?
If I loved you more than life.
If I screamed it to the heavens,
Even though God, herself, already knew?
Destiny. Fate.
I can't hide it.
Would it be okay?
If I was scared...
If I wanted you to hold me in your arms.
Shield me from my troubles.
Would it be okay?
If making love to you was my favorite pastime.
Your lips on mine.
Your breath on me.
Your touch.
Your taste.
Would it be okay?
If I wanted to live in your skin.
Would it be okay?
The whistles, snaps and cheering pulls her out of the locked gaze that her and Rod were locked in.
She gracefully bows and heads offstage, immediately getting pulled into a bear hug from Tyler and Suga.
"Can I just say.... wow!” Tyler claps.
"You did amazing!! I mean, I knew you had potential, but the way you commanded everybody's attention up there?? That was a sight to see." Suga praises.
"Thanks, you guys! It felt great to finally get up there. That was a rush!” She laughs.
"I think someone else enjoyed it, too." Rod clears his throat, making his way around the girls to the other side of Stevie, flowers back in hand.
"Again," he laughs, "these are for you. You did absolutely amazing." The twinkle in his eyes makes her melt.
"Thank you, baby." Grabbing the bouquet from him, she holds them close to her chest, blushing underneath his gaze.
"Ugh, this feels like high school love!” Tyler faux sobs, earning a collective sucking of the teeth from the pair.
"Go find your boyfriend and leave me alone, ty." Stevie says with a roll of the eyes.
"Ah, she's conquered her stage fright and now she's being feisty. You're on a roll, tonight." She winks.
"You two are a mess," Rod adds with a chuckle.
"Indeed. Come on, Tyler. You two can fight, later." Angel hooks their arms and leads them towards the other side of the club.
Rod leads Stevie towards their table, pulling out her chair for her. "What do you want to drink?"
"You know, cosmos have become my favorite, as of late." She cheeses.
"Comin' right up." He winks, heading towards the bar.
"Hey, pretty lady!" Chad stops at her table. "You did amazing!"
"Oh, thank you!"
"No problem. You got some serious talent."
"I appreciate that. It was nerve racking, getting up there, but I'm glad I finally did it."
"So, you gonna make this a regular thing? The crowd loved you."
"It's always been my dream!, it'd be kinda stupid if I didn't. I'm gonna talk to Carmen—"
"Consider it done. I'll run it by her and get back to you. Sound good?"
"Hell yeah!," she jumps in her seat, laughing.
"Aight, good! You know, if you start gettin' real good, we start paying you."
"Really??, that sounds amazing." Rod comes back to the table with drinks in hand, his gaze on Chad.
"Hey, man." Chad greets him.
"Wassup.," he gives a stiff nod.
"Ya girl is pressure, no denyin' it. I just came to congratulate her on her debut night."
"I appreciate y'all lettin' her shine, up there."
"A diamond shines everywhere she goes.," Stevie slightly chokes on her drink at his corniness, covering it up with a small laugh. "You two enjoy the rest of your night. I'll see you, soon." He pats her shoulder and walks away.
"What was y'all talking about?" His gaze shifts to her, chuckling at the little dance she's doing in her seat to faint music playing.
"He's gonna talk to Carmen and see if I can make this a regular thing., and if I start getting really good, they'll start paying me." She cheeses, sipping on her drink.
"Really?," his eyes light up, "that's amazing, baby." He rubs her knee.
"Isn't it? I could stop working at Claire's, even though, I love her so much, I could!"
"You could. You should tell her, I'm sure she'd be happy for you."
"Yeah, I'll tell her when I go in, tomorrow."
"What time you gotta be there?"
"Three."
He nods, bringing his drink up to his lips. Her eyes dance over his face as the knowing smirk comes out to play, once his glass returns to the table.
"I'm gonna put you in time out." She folds her arms on the table, leaning towards her drink.
"Why?"
"Because, you keep putting me out of commission," they share a laugh.
"You so fine, I can't help it." He wets his bottom lip, making her bite her own.
"Trouble, is what you are." She speaks lowly, shaking her head.
The hand that's on her knee starts to walk up her thigh, spreading out to cuff her flesh. "And somehow... you're at the center of it, every time."
༺═──────────────────────────────═༻
Heavy breathing can be heard throughout the dimly lit bedroom.
His lips sliding off hers, taut ass in her grip with every stroke grazing against her spot, driving her crazy.
"Oh shhhit!," her whines float through the air as he digs deeper, while nipping at her soft skin.
"Wanna live in my skin, huh?" He rasps in her ear.
"Yes, baby," she breathily whimpers.
Coming back into her line of view with his hand slowly gripping her neck, his lips hover over he own.
"Tell me you love me," he mumbles, tugging at her bottom lip.
"Unh...I love you," her jaw slacks as he picks up his pace, stimulating her spot with more pressure. Her hands grip his biceps, tightly.
"Say it, again."
"I love you, shit!.... that feels so good," she moans, her legs wrapping around his waist.
"Say it again, baby," he reaches his free hand in between them to rub her clit, her hand quickly gripping his wrist.
"I love you," she whimpers, staring into his eyes.
“Fuck, I love you vie.”
He leans up and speeds up, her hands find the back of his neck as her eyes roll back.
"You're gonna make me cum!"
"Mhm, cum on this dick."
A whine like no other leaves her lips as her eyes roll back, her walls tighten around him as her orgasm jolts through her, leaving her entire body thumping.
A chill rushes up his spine as he brings his thrusts to a halt.
"Fuck..” he moans, leaning down to kiss her lips as she comes down enough to reciprocate, her tongue finding his own.
He grunts and pulls away, flipping her over. With her ass high in the air, his palm quickly reddens her flesh and makes her leak down her thighs, double time.
"Look at that." His thumb circles her clit, her body seizing up at his touch. "Makin' a mess all over my sheets, girl." His mouth salivates at the sight of her nectar leaking down her leg.
"Mmf," she bites her lip, "don't tease me, baby..."
Lining back up with her sticky entrance, he pushes into her roughly, earning a heavy gasp from her.
"Oooh, shit!"
Picking up his tempo, he adds a roll of his hips, sending her clawing at his thigh with one hand and clawing at the sheets with the other.
"Oh shit, oh shit! Oh fuck!" Her thighs tremble as her orgasm creams onto his already soaked shaft.
"That's right," his grip tightens on her waist. "Soak that dick." 
Pulling out, he taps his dick against her clit before pushing back in, picking up where he left off.
"Unh! s-slow down," she grasps his thigh.
Doing just that, he wraps an arm around her, gripping her neck. Her hands find the sheets, gripping them up as he sensually wines his hips into her.
"Just like that.... oh, babyyy!"
Nose deep in her sweet-smelling hair, his moans become more frequent, turning her on. She begins to meet him halfway, adding more friction.
"Shit, vie... feel like a fucking dream." His free hand slaps her ass as he tries to regain control. Reaching back, she digs her nails into his hip.
"Fuck!— ugh! Unh! Just like that!"
Digging deeper, her eyes roll back and her moans increase in volume.
"Just like this?"
"—yes!”
Her thighs quiver as she tries to push him away, the pleasure becoming too much. Grabbing her wrists and binding them behind her back, he continues.
"Take it, then."
Her moans are muffled as her face hides in the cover. Eyes shut tightly as her body tightens up, a breathy curse leaving her lips.
"Shit..." he moans, pulling out slowly and pushing back in, their breathing falls in sync as the heat in the room rises.
Releasing her wrists, he pulls her up in his lap as she leans up on her hands. 
One hand in her curls and the other wrapped around her neck, his strokes start off curt. Her brows furrow as her moans fill his ears.
"Oh fuck! Oh fuck," fingers gripping the sheets, her toes curl at the intensity of her pleasure.
"Say my name." He rasps.
"Rod," she yelps.
"Say it, again."
"Oh my God, Roderick!" She moans. "You're gonna make me c—cum!"
"Fuck... keep squeezin' me, baby."
"Oh my God... oh my God," her breath gets caught in her throat, while her climax rises to the surface. His own on the horizon with every stroke.
"Cum on this dick, baby.... I feel it.. give it to me," the gravel in his tone makes her soak his lap with a single squeal. His own orgasm forcing his body to fall slack on hers.
Flattening out underneath him, she laughs a bit, pushing her hair out of her face, while he repositions himself to not totally crush her, even though she didn't mind.
"Wanna know something?" He asks, intertwining their fingers, his beard tickling the bare skin of her shoulder as he places kisses there.
"What?"
"Makin' love to you is my favorite pastime, too." He replies with a goofy grin, making her giggle.
༺═──────────────────────────────═༻
Tiredly pulling the door open, Stevie heads in the back, stuffing her jacket in her locker. Taking her hair-tie off her wrist, she pulls her curls into a sloppy bun and heads back up front.
"Hey, girl," Rena waves, her and Alana studying her worn out expression.
She grabs her apron and glances at them.
"Hey, guys.”
"Are you alright?" Alana asks.
"Yeah, I'm just tired."
"Oh yeah! Your debut was last night. How'd it go?" Rena asks, excitedly.
"It went great.” Stevie smiles, leaning on the countertop.
"I was nervous as hell, but I made it through. Everybody really liked it. That also kinda made me kinda nervous, but also really happy.” She laughs.
"Aw, that's so great! I'm so happy for you!" Alana says.
"Yeah, that's amazing," Rena adds, "did you celebrate?"
"Yeah, and I probably shouldn't have."
"Why not?"
"Well, I've got a hangover and I was almost late." She sighs.
"Relax, sweet cheeks," Claire comes out of her office. "I know last night was super important to you. I wouldn't have tripped."
"Thanks, Claire."
"Of course. Did your rock head of a boyfriend like it?"
Stevie laughs. "He liked it more than anybody else."
"Oh, that's why ya ass was limpin' when you came in," Rena mumbles, before tending to a customer.
Stevie rolls her eyes. "Maybe you should get laid."
"Relax," Rena defends. "I was just playing around."
"Mm... Anyway," she turns back towards Claire.
"I've gotta talk to you, later. It's super important."
Claire excuses them, pulling them into her cozy office.
"So, how was your night?" She asks.
"It was great! I was so nervous, but the reassurance that I received mellowed me out. I got up on that stage and I knew, at that moment, that I belonged up there. It was amazing." Stevie gushes.
"That's incredible, babe. I gotta come and see you! I'm sad I missed the first one."
"That'd be great. I'd love for you to come!”
"Let me know when your next performance is and I'll put it on my calendar. Now, what's this dilemma you've got going on?"
"Well, Carmen said that if I start getting really good, they'll start paying me." She says, twiddling her fingers.
"Really?? Oh, that's guaranteed money, then! I'm sure you're amazing!"
"Well, I think I'm alright—but, yeah! That's huge, right? I get paid to do what I love."
"Anybody's dream, yes. I'm not seeing an issue here."
"If I start getting paid there.. I could start doing that more often and not.. have to work here anymore."
"Absolutely. I would hope that you wouldn't pass up an opportunity of a lifetime, to serve coffee with some friends."
The sarcasm in her voice makes Stevie laugh.
"Did you think I was gonna be upset?"
"Well, maybe upset isn't the word."
"Well, it's gonna suck not having you here, but I'd never keep you from doing what you love. That's not a friend."
"This is true. Well, nothing's official, yet. You still have me."
"And, I'm delighted!"
“Okay,” she breathes. “I feel better now.”
༺═──────────────────────────────═༻
Slinging her bag over her chair, Stevie turns her lamp on and sits down, opening up her poetry book.
Clicking her pen, she begins to write.
Love so amazing,
It outshines the moon.
Love so hot,
It burns brighter than the sun.
So intense,
It makes you blush.
So—
She smudges her writing as the ringing of her new house phone scares the mess out of her. Snatching the cordless phone off its base, without looking at the caller ID, she utters a slightly agitated hello.
"Ah, breaking the phone in with attitude, are we?" Rod's voice comes through.
"Well, you know, the ringer is extremely loud on this thing. Sorry for the attitude, I suppose."
"You suppose, huh? Guess we'll see about that, later."
"Whatever. How's work?" She asks, twirling a random strand of hair around her finger.
He laughs. "It's cool. I miss you."
"Aw, I miss you too. Want me to come by? I can bring you food, if you haven't eaten yet."
"I'd love that. Seeing your pretty face always brightens my mood." She blushes.
"Oh, stoppp," she drags out, closing her book and standing up from her chair.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Uh, how about pizza?"
"Alright. I'm gonna change and get the food, and I'll be there."
"Okay, babe. See you soon."
About thirty minutes later he hears the chime go off, Rod turns around to see Stevie walking through the door. He snickers at her wardrobe.
"You cold, babygirl?" He asks, gesturing towards his black sweatshirt swallowing her top half, while her black leggings cling to her bottom half.
"Yes!" Her teeth chatter as she sits the pizza box on the counter, rounding the counter to stuff her face into his chest. "It's windy as hell, out there."
"Aw," he coos, rubbing his warm hands over her back. "I'll turn the heat up."
"Thank you. Where do you want me to put this?" she points to the pizza box.
Moving away from her, he locks the door and hangs the sign, before grabbing the pizza from her.
"Follow me."
Following him into the second room on the right, she sits down at the black round table. He opens the box and pulls out a slice.
She follows suit, picking the pepperonis off and popping them in her mouth. He chuckles at the sight.
"One day, it's gonna land on your nose." He jokes. She rolls her eyes.
"Shut up. How's your day been?" He sits in the chair beside her, still munching on his food.
"It's actually been pretty dead in here, today. But, I'm not trippin. We still made sales for the day. How's your writing going?" He grabs a napkin and cleans his hands.
"Well, before you called me, I was in my zone," she laughs. "I think it'll be the next piece I perform."
"Look at you, all bright eyed and bushy tailed!" He teases, poking her cheek.
"You sound like an old man!" She jokes.
“Old?” He laughs, clutching his chest in faux hurt.
“Old as hell,” she nods.
"Alaina, I will throw you outta here." He chuckles.
"In the cold?? The disrespect."
"Yeah, well," he shrugs.
"Yeah, well," she mocks, throwing a balled up napkin at him.
"Keep it up." He stands from his chair, heading towards the soda machine, grabbing two cokes.
"Or what?"
"Ima let you find out."
༺═──────────────────────────────═༻
Plopping down on her bed, she stares at her clock, snorting as it reads 3:45 a.m.
"I'm gonna kill you." She groans, just as Rod waltzes into the room. Handing her a bottle of water, he sits down beside her.
"What did I do, besides what you asked me to?"
"I asked you to damn near break me in half?" She asks, an incredulous look on her face, making him crack up.
"Those weren't your exact words— but, yes, you were asking for it. Then, you didn't want me to stop."
She thanks God that the room is dark and the rosiness of her cheeks are concealed. "Anyway—"
"Mhm. That's what I thought."
"Anyways! Tyler and I are supposed to get our hair done tomorrow, because one of her cousins is getting married, and she asked Tyler at the last minute to be a damn bridesmaid— and for whatever reason, I have to be one, too."
"A wedding in the fall? Hm.. that's uh..”
"It's cold. That's the word you're looking for."
"What are the colors?"
"White and gold. The usual."
"You know what the dress looks like?"
"Not yet, no. I'll see it tomorrow."
"When's the wedding?"
"Saturday. I hope the wind doesn't blow us down."
"You're so dramatic, you know that?"
"I do. You're annoying— did you know that?" She smirks.
"I did," he joins in on the laughter.
"Good. Now, can we go to sleep?"
"Hey, we coulda been sleeping, a long time ago. But, someone wanted to ride around and smoke."
She scoffs and snatches her pullover off, along with her sweats and gets under the cover.
He laughs and follows suit, pulling her back into his chest. The warmth of his body made her turn in his hold and snuggle closer to him.
"Love you." She whispers.
"Love you too, you little brat."
Love so amazing,
It outshines the moon.
Love so hot,
It burns brighter than the sun.
So intense,
It makes you blush.
So genuine, 
It makes your heart flutter.
Who knew it could all feel like a fairytale?
Who knew it could be this sweet?
Who knew love, like this, existed?
Who knew...

Flattery Works with Me
Tumblr media
A pool day turns into something more for you and Eddie.
Warnings: SMUT!!! Minors DNI! 
Language, oral (m receiving), fingering, piv, reader wearing a bikini. Vol 2 never happened.
--
Summer of ‘86 was a hot one. You, Robin, and Nancy were sweltering in the heat, even though the AC at the Wheeler house was blasting.
“I would kill to be on the beach right now,” Nancy complains. She turns to you and Robin and asks sarcastically, “you ladies know of any good beaches in Indiana?”
Robin scoffs at her. “The closest thing we have is Harrington’s pool,” she replies.
“Can you ask if we can come over and use it?” You beg Robin. “Pleeeeeeeease?” Nancy looks at her hopefully.
“Fine, I’ll talk to the dingus so that you two princesses can cool off.” She’s smiling as she peels herself off the floor. She'd planned on going for a swim later anyway.
She doesn’t even say who it is when she calls. “Hey, Nance, Y/N, and I are coming over to swim. You home, or should we jump the fence?” Robin pauses and a grin crosses her face. “Ooh, yeah. Perfect. We’ll be there.”
You know exactly where this is going. “Nope. No way. Vetoed. Not happening, sorry.”
“Too late!” Robin giggles. “Steve and Eddie are actually about to go swimming, too.” She turns to Nancy. “Nance, remember the bikini that you told Y/N to buy?”
Nancy waggles her eyebrows. “Oh, you mean that kinda slutty one that makes Y/N look like an absolute goddess?”
“That’s the one!”
“If I’m going to be swimming in front of Eddie Munson, I’m wearing a muumuu,” you grumble.
“Over my dead body,” Robin puts her hands on her hips. “You have a great body, and we all know it. Now it’s time for Eddie to know it.”
You roll your eyes and skulk back to your house, right next door to the Wheelers. You eye the yellow bikini with its thin straps. It left basically nothing to the imagination. Well, at least if you made a fool of yourself, you were going to college in the fall and would never have to see Eddie again.
Nancy and Robin were waiting in the car when you came out. You threw a little sundress over your swimsuit; there was no reason for the neighbors to see your attempt to be sexy.
“Off to the pool!” Nancy says as she puts the car in drive.
“And to get Y/N laid,” Robin adds with a devilish laugh.
~
Steve and Eddie were already in the pool when the three of you arrived. 
“Come on in, ladies; the water’s fine!” Steve said, pushing back his water-logged hair dramatically, earning a giggle from Nancy. They should be the ones hooking up, you think, but that’s a conversations for another day.
Your eyes are immediately drawn to Eddie. You knew he had tattoos on his arms, but he also has one on his chest. His biceps flex as he pushes himself halfway out of the water. He’s just so hot.
“Glad you all could make it,” he says. He tries to address the group, but his eyes are trained on you. “No sense in suffering when Pretty Boy has a pool for us to use.”
“That’s King Pretty Boy to you, Munson,” Steve retorts. Nancy and Robin shuffle out of their own cover-ups; Nancy’s is a sundress like yours, while Robin threw on an oversized T-shirt and some shorts. You tentatively take off your sundress, careful not to let anything slip out. That’s when you notice Eddie staring. It fills you with a confidence you didn’t have before. Eddie Munson is staring at me. I’m in a bikini and Eddie Munson likes it. 
Fuck it, you’re going to have fun. You grab the sunblock and squeeze some out into your palm. “Could someone get my back?” You could have easily asked Robin or Nancy to do it, but you want to see if there are any other takers.
“I’ll do it,” Eddie says quickly. He hoists himself out of the pool and shakes off like a wet dog, spraying the three of you.
“I’ll get you back for that,” you threaten. You hand him the bottle of lotion with a smile.
“You’re so scary,” he mocks gently. You feel his hands press onto your back, massaging the sunblock into your skin.
“Be careful with the strings. Wouldn’t want them to come loose,” you warn, knowing it’s only taunting him. He wants those strings to come undone, and he wants to be the one to do it.
He takes his time, rubbing small circles into your back. His hands are calloused from playing guitar but they feel so good. You have to remind yourself not to moan.
“Anywhere else?” he asks. He doesn’t seem too flustered yet; you’ll have to up your game.
“I think I can get the rest myself,” you smirk. “Not like you’d wanna, I don’t know, rub lotion all over my arms, or legs, or chest or anything.” You weren’t sure about that last part until you caught him staring at your tits. They did look good in that bikini.
“What gave it away?” Eddie murmurs. He goes to get more sunblock but you stop him. 
“I told you, I’ll get you back for getting me wet,” you say softly, knowing that he’ll pick up on the double entendre. “So I’ll just do the rest myself.”
Eddie knows this game all too well, and he’s happy to play it. “Suit yourself, sweetheart,” he shrugs and sits back on a lounge chair. “I’ll just watch.”
You know that Steve, Robin, and Nancy are watching this all go down, but you let it happen anyway. “Fine.” You apply the lotion all over your body, taking extra time on your cleavage. No sooner do you close the bottle does Eddie lift you off the deck and throw you into the pool. He splashes in behind you, pulling you close. 
“How’s that for getting you wet, baby?” he growls in your ear. You push off of him and tread over to the rest of your friends. 
“Finally, Y/N and Eddie, back from flirting,” Steve says. “We’re just about to play a game of chicken. Robin’s gonna sit out because she’s a party pooper.” Robin sticks her tongue out at him.
I’m gonna pick Steve, you think, I’ll make Eddie jealous. Once again, he foils your plan by grabbing you around your waist. 
“Where do you think you’re going? You’re on Team Munson tonight,” he whispers.
“Care to share with the class?” Robin ribs.
“Just asking her to be my partner.”
“Great! Me and Nance versus Eddie and Y/N.” Steve announces. Nancy climbs on Steve’s shoulders as you climb on Eddie’s. He looks up at you and winks.
“3...2...1...GO!” Robin calls out from the deck, declaring herself the referee. Nancy is strong, but you’re stronger, and you have her toppled into the water after a few minutes of playing. You drop off of Eddie’s shoulders and he throws an arm around you. “Glad to see you’re good on top.”
You muster up all of the courage you have and say, “you don’t know the half of it.”
With that, you feel him twitch slightly. He whispers, “Follow me,” in your ear, so low you barely register it. He turns to the rest of the group and says, “Since you’re all good sports, the winners will get you all drinks.” You just nod in agreement and get out of the pool, wrapping yourself in a fluffy towel. Eddie’s wrapped his around his waist, shielding his boner.
The chill in the house makes you shiver as Eddie slides the door closed behind you. “C’mere,” he says, taking your hand. “Pretty Boy’s got a guest room we can use.”
Your heart flutters. I’m going to have sex with Eddie Munson. Right here, in Steve Harrington’s house.
Eddie pulls you into the closest room with a bed. There’s nothing on the dressers or nightstands, so you can only hope it’s the guest room. He takes your towel and tosses it to the ground. “Much better,” he murmurs. “We both know you didn’t wear that bikini just to cover up for me now, didja, sweetheart?”
You remove his towel, revealing a massive erection hiding behind his swim trunks. “That’s all for me?” you ask, placing your hands on his chest, slowly snaking them around his shoulders, and kissing him softly on the lips. He tastes like cigarettes.
“Every...last...inch,” he says, punctuating each work with a deep kiss. He lifts you and you wrap your legs around his waist. He moans as you work your lips onto his neck, sucking and biting. 
“Fuck, baby,” he’s growling now, unable to contain himself. “You know exactly what I want.”
“Mhm,” you agree. “Like I know you want to rip this bikini off of me.”
“Oh, I’ve wanted to do that since you walked into Harrington’s backyard. Just need to see your pretty tits.” He places you on the bed, untying the knots keeping your top on. It falls to the carpet, but Eddie doesn’t notice. He’s too busy climbing on top of you to kiss your tits, sucking on your nipples until they’re pert. “I knew they’d be perfect. Exactly how I pictured ‘em.”
This makes you giggle. “You’ve pictured them before?”
“Every night before bed, sweetheart.”
“What else did you picture?”
“Well...”he starts, “I pictured you sucking me off, getting me harder and harder.”
“What if I told you,” you say, pushing him onto his back, “that I could make that a reality?”
He wiggles out of his trunks, leaving him completely naked. His swollen tip is leaking precum, and you lick it off. “Let me just clean you up, Eddie.”
He only replies with a muted, “fuck.” You work his dick in your mouth, swirling your tongue over the head. He bucks his hips slightly, making you gag.
“Sorry,” he says sheepishly, but you dismiss his apology.
“Don’t worry about me. I can take it all.”
“If you keep talking like that, I’m gonna cum before I can even get you off.”
“You do that, and I’ll tell everyone that Eddie Munson suffers from premature ejaculation.” you tease.
“Okay, that’s it,” his words are rough but playful. “Before you make me blow my load, let me make you cum.” He runs his fingers over the cloth of your bikini bottom, wet from the pool and from his touch. He unties them and his eyes nearly roll back into his head.
“Jesus, Y/N! You’ve been holding out on me all this time.” He claps a hand over your right ass cheek and squeezes tight. It’s his turn to be on top now. He inserts one finger into your pussy, and then another, pressing into you slowly. “That good?” he asks. You nod, dumbfounded at how he can make you feel so fucking good with just his fingers. He brings his thumb to your clit and plays with it, speeding up and bringing you close to your limit.
“Please, Eddie, you feel s-so good...don’t stop” you beg, but he only laughs and withdraws his fingers. Your walls clench, desperate for him inside you. “What the fuck--”
"I can’t take it anymore. I’m gonna fucking cum before I even get inside of you if I hear your pretty little moans one more time.” He’s fierce, wrapped up in the moment, too distracted to get a condom.
“E-Eddie?” you manage, “you’ll n-need to pull out.”
A wicked grin spreads across his face. “Anything for you, baby.” He teases the tip of his cock at your soaked entrance and pushes in.
“Holy shit, Y/N,” he breathes, bucking his hips and sending shockwaves down your core. He fits in you perfectly. Eddie presses his body on top of yours, pulling you closer into him.
“Wait,” you say, pushing him back a bit. He looks confused until you wrap your legs around his neck.
“Oh, fuck, baby,” he breathes. “You can’t do this to me.”
“Oh, but I can,” you spit back, arching your hips as he plunges deeper into you. “Eddie, I’m--I’m gonna...” your orgasm overtakes your body and you can’t even manage to complete the sentence.
He feels you clench around his rock-hard cock and groans. “M-me too. Gotta pull out now,” he says. “When I do, flip yourself over so I can cum all over that tight little ass of yours.” He removes himself and you do as your told, feeling his warmth spill all down your ass. He grabs his bandana from around his head and wipes it off.
“God, baby, you’re fucking perfect,” he trails kisses behind your ear. “If it was this good our first time together, imagine how amazing we’re gonna get after even more practice.” He bites your earlobe.
“Well,” you say smugly, “how much time do you need before round 2?”
--
Side note, I can definitely picture Robin saying, “Guess we’re not getting those drinks any time soon.”

Since this is a band themed IF, it is only fair that one of the first scenario asks you get is music related!
How would the ROs react if MC writes and performs a song that they wrote for the RO? Like others won't really notice the little details MC has put in the lyrics that only the RO and MC would understand ? Will reactions change from crushing stage to relationship stage?
G: G isn't unfamiliar with the concept of having songs written for them so crushing stage, they'd be flattered but wouldn't think beyond that, even when they are crushing on MC. If they really like MC, they'd be deeply touched and likely write a song back. If they're in a relationship or in love with MC well...they'd be the type to get a tattoo of their favorite line a day later and go up to MC like, "hey look what I did lol"
Victoria: would definitely be touched, probably cry whether it's crushing stage or relationship stage. Victoria has a lot of insecurities about herself despite her beauty, she thinks people only like her in a very surface-level way. Seeing someone put that much thought for her would really move her.
August: August wouldn't know how to deal. Their language is music, so that'd be a perfect gift, but August tends to retreat when they feel their emotions are too much. Crushing stage, they'd make a playlist in return (since they don't write), in a relationship stage that'd be a moment where they'd prob tell MC they love them. Also, August would have that song on literal repeat on their phone, listening to it day and night.
Orion: Be shocked, definitely. Crushing stage, Orion would try not to show his feelings too much because he knows romancing MC is a bad idea, especially due to his title as their manager. He would prob give a very generic compliment and treat the song like any other song MC has written. In a relationship, he'd make it the band's single and promote it like there's no other lmao. "Everyone should hear this."
Sebastian: Deeply touched whether it's crushing or relationship. He sucks at anything music so he'd try to even the playing field by writing a poem or something or like a haiku and it would be terrible lmao It'd be his favorite song. He'd make it his phone alarm and I'm not even kidding.
Seven: Ooh, man. It really depends. Romancing Seven in crushing stage still has Seven hating you a bit lmao, or at least wary of you. So their feelings would be so conflicted. Prob not say anything about it in public but listen to it in private. It'd be their new favorite song. They would listen to it everywhere but arounds others they'd be like, "yeah nah. not my thing." Or even to MC they'd be like, "whats your angle???" In reality, it'd be the only thing they listen to. In a relationship, they're competitive when it comes to you so they'd probably write a song back lmao. "You can't be the only romantic one out of us." Seven would write a very romantic song, they're a great, very emotionally-driven songwriter.

Morning Glory - (NSFW)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: Chrissy has recently moved into the Munson trailer. Eddie unfortunately wakes up with morning wood, so he heads to the bathroom to take care of it. Chrissy has a couple of ideas to help him with his dilemma.
Early morning wood wasn’t an unusual phenomenon for Eddie. A quick masturbation session took care of it and then he was good for the rest of the day. However that matter was going to change once Chrissy came into his life. Ever since she moved into the trailer, he felt that it was inappropriate to wake up beside her like this. His two choices were a cold shower or finish in the bathroom.
In the very early hours on a cool spring morning, Chrissy had turned over and felt the absence of his warm body. She could hear moaning from the bathroom, she was curious so she decided to investigate. The darkness of the trailer shielded her from Eddie’s eyes. Well then again his eyes were tightly shut as he jerked his cock within his tattooed hand. The door was left open just a crack, giving her a chance to witness the glorious sight of him masturbating. This felt so illegal to just stare, her own private show with Eddie as the star. Her pussy throbbed, moistening her panties as she kept her mouth covered. Her body heat rising at the sight and sounds of the most beautiful man fucking his closed fist.
He called her name multiple times, describing exactly what he needed, “Spread those legs. Oh fuck, play with your pussy you dirty slut. Suck my fucking cock… oh good girl, my good girl.”
Chrissy’s jaw dropped, a silent exhale escaping as she rubbed herself against the wall. Those words of his, no matter how crude, never failed to make her wet.
She couldn’t simply wait, she had to speak, “Eddie.”
His heart dropped, blood running cold despite the hotness emitting from his skin. Shit, he was so fucked! How was he going to explain himself? Well the moment Chrissy gently opened the door and turned on the light, no explanation was needed. Her cheeks were bright pink, dark pupils dilated, and her shiny essence coated upon her fingers.
Their bodies faced each other, her icy blue eyes shined under the dull bathroom light. She wore one of his band shirts, one that was clearly too big for her. She stepped forward and reached out to him, her slick covered hand making good use of his hardened cock. Eddie was at a loss for words, what felt like a nightmare turned into an amazing dream. This was clearly no dream, the way she groped and fondled him clearly indicated that this was really happening; and he loved it.
“Why are you hiding in the bathroom, Eddie?” she sweetly whispered.
“Oh fuck… ooh babe…”. Her grip began to loosen, that’s when Eddie found his words, “I- I- I got hard and I didn’t want to freak you out- oh shit!”
She offered him a tiny smirk as she gave him a good tug, her voice lovable, “You’re so considerate. Always thinking about me and my safety. Such a good boyfriend.”
His heart slammed against his ribcage, “Thank you babe, oh just like that.”
She leaned forward and pecked his neck, “You have a beautiful cock, Eddie.” Her free hand spider crawled down his back, giving his rear a playful squeeze, her voice a gentle whisper in his ear, “Baby.”
This felt too good to be true, as if he was experiencing something from one of his dirty movies. Jeans around his ankles, being handled by his lover, and getting praised. This was definitely going to awaken a thing or two in him, right now he was focused on trying not to cum too fast.
“Chrissy, Chrissy, oh fu-”
Her sweet little giggle seemed so cruel, “What’s wrong Eddie? Come on, you can tell me.”
He bit down on his lower lip, “Cum… gotta cum Chri-”
Despite the soft volume, her tone was firm, “No. You don’t get to cum yet.”
Eddie felt his legs start to shake, “Please Chrissy-”
She kissed his ear, her hand began to slow down, “I said ‘No.’ You have to wait. Good boys wait, Eddie.” Sapphire stared deeply into smokey topaz, "You will be a good boy for me, won’t you?”
His eyebrows scrunched up, a tiny smile emerging through, “Y-Yes…”
Her hand started to loosen up, “Hmm? What was that? I didn’t hear you.”
Eddie loudly declared, “Yes!” She quickly covered his mouth, he then responded breathlessly, “Yes, I will be a good boy for you, Chrissy.”
Her princess pink lips pecked his trembling mouth, “Thatta boy.”
She held him once more, leading her beloved by his cock back into their room. Eddie had no choice but to follow, trying to remember how to breathe. His body was on fire, the flames growing with each passing moment. He adored the way Chrissy could be so kind and so demanding. Even when she barely had to speak up, he was more than ready to listen to her. To serve her, kneel before her, and do exactly as she commanded. Wow, he was really enjoying himself, perhaps much more than she realized.
“Now, take off your clothes and lay down.”
The cold air felt so pleasant upon his burning flesh, goosebumps forming from top to bottom. He was lovely, tall and slim, his chest and arms beautifully inked. The newest addition of his collection that adorned his left bicep depicted a snake slithering through a human skull. Eddie had wondered if perhaps he needed another tattoo. One that not only matched his dark and brooding aesthetic, but one that precisely indicated his undying love for her. Another time of course, right now all he had to do was present himself.
The accompanying bedside lamp made Chrissy shine, a Goddess walking towards a mortal man. She stood there, hungry eyes drinking in the gorgeous sight of him. He was rock hard, veiny shaft pulsating and twitching slightly. Nipples deliciously jutting out from his soft breasts. Red watercolor flush painted upon his pale flesh. A single finger very gently circled the very top of his bulging head. She was careful with him, tracing the shape and circumference of the tip. Soon allowing all of her fingers to gingerly caress him.
Eddie grabbed the sheets like his life depended on it, “O-Oh… oh my god.”
Chrissy gazed at him with love in her sparkling eyes, her other hand offering his length a playful squeeze. She couldn’t prevent her little giggles from coming out. He looked so sweet, hips attempting to follow her, watching her jerk him so very, very slowly.
“You’re so cute when you’re whiny,” she mentioned. “You’re just a big baby, aren’t you?”
“Uh-huh,” he cooed.
She bent down and gave the top a tiny kiss. This soon led to longer smooches and kitten licking. He shut his eyes, trying his best to focus on his breathing instead of the bubblegum pink lips and wet tongue teasing him with seemingly no end in sight.
“Eyes on me, Edward.”
Eddie watched as Chrissy let a glob of saliva land upon him, waiting for it to slide down before licking it off. Her slithering tongue was like a paintbrush, creating all manner of precise strokes with dexterity and delicacy. Very carefully swallowing him as far as her mouth could allow. This was heaven for Eddie, delicious and moist heaven. His lover taking the most vulnerable part of his physical being and offering him the kind of pleasure he had only ever fantasized about. Yet despite the tantalizing nature of Chrissy’s talent, hell was not getting the chance to blow his load down her throat. Still, being ordered by her to not cum was quite thrilling.
Beads of sweat cascaded down his face, hot air continually pumping out of his lungs. Air suddenly escaped him the moment she went down just a little more. Sucking in her cheeks and humming a little tune as she moved her head. He felt so snug in her throat, the squeezing sensation felt oddly satisfying to her. Eyes locked together once more, he looked divine, skin gleaming a hotter shade of red that continued to spread along his torso and shoulders. Eddie’s mind would forever imprint this very special and very sleazy moment.
He was desperate, he wasn't going to last, “Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!”
Chrissy rested her hands upon his warm thighs, easing herself off of him. Wiping the drool and pre-cum from her newly freed mouth. She sat beside him, crossing her legs and tossing her hair to the side. She appeared so casual as if she didn’t just blow him from here to almost kingdom come.
She cradled his face, presenting a playfully mean smirk, “Poor, sweet Eddie. You’re a total mess. That must have been so hard for you.”
“Chrissy-”
“Shh, shh. You’re doing so good, Eddie. I know you wanna cum, just hold on a little longer.” Her lower lip quivered, her expression and voice oozed sweetness and sympathy, “You can do that can’t you, baby? Hmm?”
He blinked his teary eyes, “Uh-huh.”
She wiped the little trails and kissed his forehead, “I know, I know. You can do it, Eddie. You’re almost there.”
She was telling the truth, he knew that she was right. He believed her with all of his heart and he would wait, even if it took all morning. Things became all the more enticing when she removed her underwear and brought it close to his face. The soft, frilly material looked oh so good and wonderfully slick.
“Do you want a taste?” Chrissy gently prompted. “Go ahead, you deserve it.”
Eddie stuck his tongue out and savored the intoxicating delicacy that is Chrissy Cunningham. He may not have the most expensive palate, but he would gladly trade all the food in the world just to have a taste of her. Underwear or straight from the source, he didn’t care, he was glad to oblige. Chrissy nibbled her bottom lip as she watched that tongue of his clean the garment.
She cutely cooed, “Aww, look at you. You love the taste of my pussy don’t you, Eddie?” Her other hand scratched his scalp, “You’re such a slut.”
He whimpered when she threw her panties to some unknown corner, “I want more.” Her brow arched up harshly, she didn’t need to say a single word. Eddie gulped, “I- I’m sorry. Can I have more please?”
Her smile returned, “Good boy, Eddie.”
She positioned herself above his hips, pushing up the giant shirt to reveal her lovely body. Her curly covered apex sat mere inches above his dick. Pudgy labia so warm upon her fingers as she explored herself. Carefully sliding a couple of fingers into her wet apex, so close to the weeping tip.
“Oh my god,” Eddie groaned, having to restrain himself from grabbing her by the hips.
Her other hand carefully circled her clitoris, her voice so soft and breathy, “You like that? Watching me touch myself?”
“Y-Yes,” he huffed.
Chrissy chuckled, her fingers cycling her inner walls, “I heard you say those naughty things about me. ‘Spread those legs. Play with your pussy you dirty slut. Suck my fucking cock.’ You’re a dirty slut. Go on. Say it.”
His mind was losing focus, all he could hear was her voice, answering her like the mindless sex servant that he was, “I’m a dirty slut.”
“Louder,” she ordered, stroking his cock with her juices.
“I’m a dirty slut!” Eddie wailed.
His jaw slammed shut when he heard an angry fist pounding at his bedroom door. He knew the gruffness of his uncle’s voice anywhere.
“Boy! It’s three in the morning!
Chrissy pushed herself down on his cock. Smiling devilishly as she quickly covered his mouth. Wagging her finger and quietly tutting her tongue. Smugly looking over at the locked door and enjoying the madness of this moment.
Wayne continued, “What are you yelling about?”
Chrissy moved her hand aside and whispered, “Tell him you’re sorry.”
“Nothing. I’m sorry uncle Wayne. I- I- I had a bad dream,” he attempted to answer back as regularly as he could.
She tightened up around him, gyrating her hips in slow circles. Hypnotizing him with her cunt and with her breasts as she squeezed them.
“Jesus Christ, you scream like someone died in front of you. Just get back to sleep, Eddie. Goodnight.” Wayne grumbled.
Eddie nodded, shaking his head when he remembered that he couldn’t be seen, “O-Okay. G-Goodnight.”
His uncle returned to his room, and so they waited for a few minutes. Chrissy continued her erotic method of torture, relishing the pleasurable and painful expressions on his face.
She relaxed her body and shimmied her lower half, “That was a close one. Now…” She roughly grabbed his wrists and held them down, “…hold on tight big boy.”
Chrissy was merciless as she humped and bounced on top of him. He felt amazing, better than amazing! He fit perfectly within her pulsating center, filling and emptying herself to such delight. Squeezing and suffocating his member with such intensity and ecstasy. Despite his lack of working brain cells, Eddie couldn’t help but wonder if he already died and this was going to be his final resting place; if that was the case he had no complaints. His fingers dug into his palms, eyes focusing on the ravishing woman taking him. She could see the love in those chocolate button eyes. He wanted to singhis praises and adoration of her, butthe most he could do was groan and say her name.. As wild as Eddie Munson could be, he was tameable. All it took was the right person to do it.
Chrissy was beginning to find it challenging to say what she wanted to as well, centering her thoughts on herself and him. Their hips did not falter, the rhythmic motion of her seeping flower kept his engorged vine under wraps. The sky looking down at the earth, pastel pink crashing down to intertwine with rose pink. The heat from their skin rising, the bed springs danced and sang a song of squeaks and creaks. Her nails pinched his skin, driving his form deeper into the old mattress, breaking the kiss for a moment to try and breathe.
She squealed, “Fuck, fuck, Eddie. Eddie… oh god!”
He mewled, “Fuck, Chrissy. Oh baby, oh my god!”
She nuzzled into his neck, sampling the salty sweat before whispering, “Cum.”
Something almost Pavlovian switched on in his head. That was it, that one single command was all it took for him to let go and finally give in. Time had stopped, he could see sparks forming before his eyes. The build up was over, Eddie came and came. His orgasm hit him hard and fast, blowing all previous attempts out the window. The rush overpowered him completely, thick ropes streaming out like lava from an exploding volcano. Chrissy wrapped her arms around him, he did the same to her. She bit down on his shoulder to prevent herself from screaming and he scratched at her back. The more he marked, the harder she clamped down. Pure, unabashed bliss between the two lovers. Bodies that willingly fell into the depths had started to gain some buoyancy once again, floating above and beyond into a cloudy space of eternal elation.
Despite the heaviness of sleep starting to take hold, he eased her back onto the bed. His grip loosened, snuggling into her chest, and offering her small kisses. She cradled him, smacking her lips to his forehead. Eddie faced him and gave her a bashful grin. She scrunched up her nose when she smiled back. They were exhausted and ecstatic. After tonight, there was no chance of feigning ignorance about those stains now.
“Hi Eddie,” Chrissy casually stated.
Eddie responded, his intoxicated grin growing, “Hi Chrissy.”
Chrissy moved the loose curls away from his face, “Are you okay?”
“Am I okay? I feel fucking fantastic,” Eddie happily answered back. “Holy shit, that was amazing! Where did you learn all that?”
Her lips puckered up, letting them pop before giving him a response, “Uh… well you know, I have my little fantasies.” She began to rub the back of her neck, “And I may have found your um… video collection.”
His eyes widened, “Chrissy Cunningham, you watched one of my porno tapes? Without me?”
“What? I was curious! I mean, you’re not mad at me are you?”
He guffawed, “Babe, I don’t care if you read a ‘How To Give Your Boyfriend the Best Blow Job Ever’ guide from one of your magazines! That was fucking phenomenal!”
Chrissy touched her blushing cheek, “Oh god, Eddie.”
He held her face, his eyes sparkling with such enthusiasm, “Oh come on, don’t get shy with me. You knew what you were doing and you knew that you were amazing at it.”
She pecked his nose, “Thanks Eddie. I didn’t hurt you, did I?”
He quickly shook his head, smile still wide and pleasant, “Nope. Not at all. Oh shit, your back.” He turned her around and checked, leaning down to kiss the markings, mumbling such gentle apologies.
Chrissy hugged him, “Hey, it’s okay. I’m fine. What about your neck?”
He shrugged, “Not the first time I’ve been bitten. Well, that is, this is the first time I got myself a love bite…” The pull of sleep gripped him, causing a large yawn to come out, “…instead of a fight bite.”
The yawn passed on to her, “I think it’s time for bed.”
They settled down and allowed themselves to relax in each other’s arms. Basking in the wonderful series of lazy kisses before falling into the lovely slumber of the very early morning.
He had one more thing to ask, “Chrissy?”
“Mmhm?”
“When it’s time to get up, what do you want for breakfast?”
She giggled, “Sausage á la Munson.”

Just You-Dominik Mysterio X OC
Request: Jasmine only has feelings for Dominik but the rest hit on her but she only likes Dom
Word Count: 1,601
Jasmine’s POV
The lights from above shone in my eyes, nearly blinding me as me and my faction, the Judgment Day, stood in the ring. Damian, our "leader" was speaking to the crowd over the mic. My job tonight was pretty much to just stand in the background and nod along so I wasn't paying too much attention to what was being said.
The group was made up of me, Rhea, who quickly became one of my best friends, Damian, who was like an older brother to me, and Finn who acted like my father but I was also good friends with. And then there was Dominik.
Dominik and I were by far the closest of any of the Judgment Day members since we were not only the youngest members, but the newest.
Dominik and I had met only a few months ago when I joined the Judgment Day, but I had had a crush on him since our first meeting.
I only began to pay attention again when my name was brought into the ongoing conversation.
"And Jasmine here, as gorgeous as ever," Damian grinned at me, pairing it with a small wink. "I can tell you're itching for a fight. Aren't you, mi sirenita?"
My cheeks burned from the unexpected compliments but I stepped forward, leaning into the microphone he held out anyway, deciding to play into it.
"Wrong princess, Sweetheart. But I am itchin' for a fight. Against Iyo Sky for instance, since she was too chicken to fight me last week."
Damian made an exaggerated shocked face as the crowd 'oohed' in response and I stepped back, crossing my arms over my chest as Rhea slung an arm over my shoulder, pulling me into her side.
Damian kept speaking to the crowd until our allotted time ran out, signaled by The Other Side beginning to play over the speakers as the lights surrounding us turned purple.
Dominik held the ropes open for me and Rhea to slip out as Finn waited on the ground in front of me.
He held his hand out to help me down and pulled me into his side as my feet hit the floor.
I smiled gratefully at his as I slipped my arm around his waist in response as the five of us backed back into the gorilla.
Once back behind the curtain, I stepped away from Finn and made my way over to the refreshments table along the back wall to grab some water.
Whether you were doing anything or not, the lights on you in the ring will have you sweating.
Just as I reached for a bottle, a tattooed hand came around my side, grabbing the same one I was just about to grab.
I turned around to face the thief, my short-lived anger switching to bemusement as I watched her twist open the bottle cap before taking a swig of water, her eyes never breaking contact with mine.
A drop of water rested on her bottom lip as she pulled the bottle away. Grinning wickedly at me, she swiped her thumb over her lip sensually, drawing my gaze. And just before she walked away, she sent me a suggestive wink, taking the water with her.
Completely baffled, I just turned and watched her walk away until she turned the corner and I couldn't see her anymore.
I stood there staring at where she had just stood in front of me moments before, trying to figure out what was going on.
Shaking my head slightly to clear my thoughts, I turned back to the table to actually grab water this time.
I jumped in surprise as I was met face-to-face with an angry Dominik. "What the hell was that, Jasmine?" His nostrils flared in anger as he stared me down.
My brows furrowed in confusion as I replayed my encounter with Rhea in my head. "How should I know? Rhea was just being, extra Rhea."
"Not just Rhea, cariño. Finn and Damian have been all over you all night too." Steam practically came out of his ears he was so mad.
"I don't know, Dom. They just started doing it." I spoke softly, now slightly scared at just how incredibly angry he was. Taking a step back, I saw his eyes follow my movement and soften.
He reached out a hand, grabbing my wrist gently to stop me from moving back any further. "Jasmine, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you, I just..." He trailed off, looking off to the side in thought before thinking better of it and releasing my wrist, taking a step back.
"Never mind. I'll see you later for our next segment." He dismissed me shortly before dropping my wrist and back up before quickly walking away.
Confusion was displayed clearly on my face as I watched his retreating back. My heart hurts at his outright anger at me with no explanation.
I searched my mind for an answer but I still just couldn't figure out a reason for him to be so upset.
Blinking back the tears threatening to spill, I grabbed a bottle of water before hurriedly making my way to where I knew my best friend would be.
"Hey, Jasmine! Ooh! I have an idea for a new Tiktok for us t-" Cathy cut herself off as she saw the expression on my face. "What's wrong?"
Sniffling, I stared up at the ceiling as I wiped at my waterline. "I don't even know, Cat. Everyone in Judgment Day's been extra touchy today and now Dominik's mad at me and I don't know why."
Her expression softened from the concern previously there. Wordlessly she opened her arms for me to hug her.
Immediately, I fell into her arms, wrapping my own tightly around her in response as I burst into tears, clinging onto her for dear life.
"Oh, Jasmine." She sighed softly, backing us up into a more secluded corner of the hallway.
Her fingers gently brushed through my hair as I kept my tight grasp on her body.
Eventually, my breaths evened back out and the tears stopped flowing so heavily as I peeled away from Cathy.
"What do I do?" My voice broke.
Cathy sighed in response, reaching up to brush some stray hairs off my cheek where they had stuck to the dried-up tears.
"I think you need to go and talk to him, Jasmine."
I angrily swiped another tear away just as it fell. "But what if he won't talk to me?"
She handed me some napkins for me to clean myself up with. "You'll just have to take the chance and hope he will."
She smiled sadly at me as I nodded to myself, beginning to rip the corner of the napkin to shreds with anxiety.
Taking in a deep breath I addressed Cathy before making my way further backstage. "Thanks, Cat, I don't know what I'd do without you."
Scanning the names on each dressing room door, I looked for ours, not quite remembering where it was.
I knocked on the door quickly before stepping inside, wanting to make sure that anyone who was possibly in there was decent before barging in.
Walking in, I immediately spotted Dominik, the man of the hour, sitting on the couch with his head in his hands.
He looked up when he heard me walk in and scowled, standing up and making his way to leave.
"Wait, can we talk?" I pleaded, still fiddling with was what left of the napkin Cathy had handed me.
Dominik nodded and crossed his arms as he stood there waiting for me to speak my piece.
Nervously I looked up to meet his eyes. "Why are you mad at me?" I asked the first question on my mind and watched as he clenched his jaw before responding.
"Why am I mad at you?" He took a couple of slow menacing steps towards me. "I'm mad, cariño, because everyone else seems to think that they can just touch and flirt with you without consequence. And you don't even seem to notice."
As he spoke he got closer and closer to me, forcing me to back up until my back hit the door and I was looking up at him inches from my face.
My confusion must have been evident on my face as his face softened and he gently grabbed my chin, tilting my face up to his as his other hand braces himself on the wall by my head.
My breath hitched at his proximity. "They're always touchy and flirty with me. And what do you care?"
"I care because I'm in love with you!" He shouted angrily, bringing his lips even closer to mine. I could feel his breath as he leaned into my space.
Taking the opportunity, I shot forward and closed the distance. One of my hands came up to wrap around his neck, my fingers brushing over the baby hairs on the nape of his neck.
He immediately deepened the kiss, dropping the hand holding my chin to my waist, bringing my body flush against his.
I moaned as his tongue swept over my bottom lip asking for access that I immediately granted.
Pushing my body back against the wall, Dominick moved with me, grinding his hips into mine.
We pulled away only once we were both out of breath.
“I’m in love with you too,” I panted, our foreheads pressed together as we caught our breath.
“Good,” he kissed me gently, pulling away and grabbing my hand to pull me with him. “Because you're mine.”

Bitterly Beautiful, Part 7
Tumblr media
Chapter 7: I see you for who you are.
Jericho was crying this day, the tears of Rain poured down heavy upon this funeral. Many Nevermore and Jericho residents stand at attention for the funeral of Mayor Walker, Enid being comforted by Ajax, (Y/n) stands next to them, silent. Wednesday was a bit further away, her focus on (Y/n), she wants to take the first steps forward, but it was too late. Yoko, a student of Nevermore and a Vampire with pitch black glasses steps up next to him, she gives him an honest smile and he tries to reciprocate. Unfortunately a certain Wednesday was on his mind too much. Wednesday took a step back, and simply watched.
"I enjoy funerals. I've been crashing them since I was old enough to read the obituary section. Mayor Walker was murdered, and I know the killer is here, standing innocently among us, plotting their next move. And watching everything I do. I know I'm close to the truth. I have all the pieces of the jigsaw. I just need to slot them into place. I must look past the tears and masks of grief. Until now, I may have been outmatched and outmaneuvered, but the final gambit has yet to be played. The killer will make a mistake, and I'll be ready." Wednesday senses someone is watching her, she tilts her head left to a shadowy figure who quickly disperses. She gives chase into the forest. She reaches a clearing and looks around. The man suddenly drops from a tree and Wednesdays Umbrella was a sword, She hurls it at the man, who catches the blade with a form of electricity. Wednesday for the first time smiles wide at this, knowing who it is.
"Uncle Fester." She said, the man removes his hat to a bald head, pale skin and slightly rounded eyes.
"How long have you been stalking me?" She asks.
"Just blew into town this morning and was hit by a wave of nostalgia."
"I thought you didn't go to Nevermore."
"I didn't. Your dad got all the brains. But I used to drop in on him. Usually from the ceiling with a dagger clutched between my teeth. Just to keep him on his toes."
"Of course." Wednesday smirks.
"He filled me in on what's been going on. Monsters, murder, mayhem. What fun! I told him I had a job in Boston, but I'd be checking up on you."
"What kind of job?"
"The kind that means I need somewhere to lay low for a couple days." Fester said, which gives Wednesday an idea. She takes fester to the Bee Hive, without Eugene there; it's dead silent.
"This place belongs to a friend."
"You've actually made a friend. That poor kid will be going home in a body bag." Wednesday and Fester enter the room, and Fester sees the box of bees.
"Oh. I like a hideout that comes with snacks." Fester opens up the hive box..
"Those bees are hibernating. They're practically Eugene's children. That means do not eat them!" She says, and Fester frowns and puts the Bee back.
"You know, when you give me that death stare of disapproval, you remind me of your mother. Speaking of scary things, you know what kind of monster you're dealing with?"
"I haven't been able to identify it." Wednesday shows the accurate drawing Xavier made, Fester gazed at it.
"Ooh. It's called a Hyde."
"As in Jekyll and Hyde?"
"Mm-hmm." Fester nods joyfully.
"You've seen one before?"
"Oh yeah. In '83, during my vacay at the Zurich Institute for the Criminally Insane. Where I got my first lobotomy. But you know lobotomies. They're like tattoos. Can't just get one."
"Tell me about the Hyde."
"Ah. Olga Malacova. Jeez. She had it all. Beauty, brains, and a penchant for necrophilia. Olga was a concert pianist, until one night she transformed in the middle of a Chopin sonata. Massacred a dozen audience members. And three music critics." Fester grins especially at that.
"What triggered her? Or did she just change on her own?"
"No idea. I only saw her in group electroshock therapy."
"There's never been any mention of Hydes in any outcast book. And Nevermore is reputed for having the best collection."
"You try Nathaniel Faulkner's diary? Before he founded Nevermore, Faulkner traveled the world, cataloging every outcast community."
"How do you know this?"
"You think your parents can't keep their hands off each other now, oy vey. I showed up unannounced one night in Gomez's dorm room. Let's just say I wasn't interrupting a pillow fight hehehe—"
"Uncle Fester."
"Right Right Yeah."
"The diary, where is it?"
"Nightshades Library. Your dad parked me there and said I should settle in for a long stretch. And that's when I found this nifty little safe. I was hoping for a stash of cash or jewels but instead I found a diary." Fester explains, Wednesday considers this and nods.
"We'll sneak into the Nightshades Library tonight. In the meantime, lay low...If you are discovered, I will disown you and collect the reward tied to your capture."
"I'd expect nothing less." Fester responds, as Wednesday leaves, he creeps back into the bed box and Wednesday storms back in.
"Leave the bees alone." She says, Fester unfortunately agrees and leaves them alone. Wednesday returns to Nevermore, walking down a corridor past the main lobby, she catches a glimpse of (Y/n) in her eye. She halts and turns her head to his direction, he's sitting alone, until a pair of legs walk over to him as he has his head down.
"This seat taken?" A voice said, he looks up and senses a lingering of, undead. He gave a sorry smile.
"Yoko. No it's open." He says, "Thanks." She replies and sits down across next to him. They begin to chat and Wednesday slowly creeps over to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"So, Enid tells me that you're going though a bit of a "Break up." Yoko Said.
"It's not a "Break up". She Never considered me more than a tool, more like, a difference of opinion I guess." He replies and she gives him a pat on the shoulder.
"Sorry to hear that, look I need some.. help with something and I'd appreciate it if you did. Could take your mind off of Wednesday." She says, he gives a soft smile in response.
"That.. would be nice." He said, and Yoko leads him away, Wednesday fumes as she watches this, but can she truly blame (Y/n) for his actions? She returns back to her Dorm to write her novel.
"My novel started out as a twisted fiction, but somehow reality has turned it into my own personal looking glass. My visit to the Gates mansion has left me with so many questions. If Laurel Gates died 20 years ago, then who's sleeping in her bedroom? Why do they have photos of me? And what is their connection to this Hyde? Whoever it is, they're clearly willing to kill for their secret. Goody predicted this quest for answers would become a lonely pursuit. Of course, Goody's nowhere to be found when I need her. The dead can be just as annoying and unreliable as the living." Wednesday monologues, the door opens and Enid awkwardly steps in.
"Hi. Sorry, I figured you were still at Mayor Walker's wake."
"As soon as the dirt hits the coffin, I'm out."
"I can't seem to find my bottle of silver moon nail polish. Do you mind if I look around? Yoko's hosting a mani-pedi party for her crew, she's busy right now—"
"With (Y/n)." Wednesday said, folding her arms. "This is the third time in 24 hours you've forgotten something."
"So, how is everything going?"
"Solitude suits me. With no annoying distractions, I'm almost finished with my novel."
"Oh, Was I an annoying distraction?" Enid said coldly.
"You definitely had some annoying habits."
"Such as?"
"You giggle when you text, which is a 24/7 addiction."
"At least it's not a migraine-inducing typewriter hammering into my head."
"When not grinding your canines, you growl in your sleep."
"As opposed to late night cello solos?"
"You over-commit to activities, then complain about them."
"I'd take that over your obsession with all things creepy." Enid says.
“(Y/n) Isn’t creepy.” Wednesday quickly fires back.
“What?” Enid says confused and Wednesday quickly changes the subject.
"You could gas an entire village with the amount of perfume you spritz. That's just off the top of my head.l
"Guess I'm lucky with the new roomie that doesn't try to find ways to endanger literally everybody she comes into contact with. In fact, Yoko and I are so in sync that she's begging me to be her new roomie. Permanently."
"Don't let me hold you back. Enjoy your solitude, Wednesday."
"It's not solitude if you're still here." Wednesday says as Enid storms off, she's still alone, still putting up those walls. Wednesday returns back to the secret library. She heads down it, and looks around.
"Uncle Fester?" Wednesday asks.
"And Who's Uncle Fester?" She hears a voice calling and Wednesday turns around to (Y/n), who was carrying a small box.
"What are you doing here?" Wednesday asks.
"We're Not Partners, I don't have to explain myself. What's your excuse for creeping around in the middle of the night?" He asks back.
"Research." She replies.
"On the monster?" He asks.
"It's a Hyde." She responds and (Y/n) stops.
"A Hyde? They've been barred from Nevermore for years.. why would one be here?" He asks, "I assume you're tracking it?" He said.
"We're Not Partners, I don't have to explain myself." Wednesday says with her cheeky undertone. (Y/n) just scoffs at her.
"You're right, why do I even try with you? You know what—"
"I would love to hear your all seeing insight." She says, "People would be more inclined to help you if you never used them. Maybe if you were more honest—"
"Fine. You want honesty? Here it is. Your condescendingly decent attitude, dreadfully annoyingly toxic personality, and your "innocent blind kid" technique to avoid suspicion is commendable, but it's obvious you're letting your feelings get in the way of the truth. There's a monster roaming this town and you're more preoccupied with how I feel about you. It's disgusting, annoying, and tiresome."
"Of course feelings for you are tiresome. That's your problem, you think everyone is some puzzle you need to solve and crack. Humans are a lot more complicated than that, some people genuinely want to be your friend. I did. Even when you went to jail for grave digging, I was by your side. Why?" (Y/n) says.
"Because for some reason I cannot fathom or indulge, you seem to like me." Wednesday fires back. And (Y/n) just smirks.
"Liked... Past tense." He responds coldly and walks away and up the stairs, Fester drops down.
"How long have you been lurking?" Wednesday asks as Fester laughs.
"Long enough to feel the romantic tension between you two. Yowza! Seriously, you could cut it with an executioner's axe! Reminds me of your mom and dad, totally gushing with emotion! I've never seen you this mad!" Fester says smiling, Wednesday just stares morbidly at him. The thumbing of fingers stop him and he looks over at a desk to see Thing, who's less than enthusiastic.
"I'd recognize the patter of those fingertips anywhere. Hello, Thing. You can't still be mad about the Kalamazoo job. It wasn't my fault." Fester said, Thing leaps at him grabbing his neck and strangling fester, they struggle against each other as he gasps for air.
"You said you could crack that safe in 30 seconds. Five minutes later, we were still there. You're all thumbs."
"Enough." Wednesday booms with her voice, the two stop and turn to her. "Let him go. Show me the diary." she said, fester shows Wednesday a painted of an, odd hairy monster.
"Here we are. Iggy was Faulkner's right hand. Trained a generation of Nightshades. And behind Iggy Itt..." he says and pulls on the painting to reveal a safe behind it. Thing crawls along it and cracks his knuckles. Thing begins to attempt to crack the code.
"Do I have time for a snooze, or can you crack this quickly? This is turning into a replay of Kalamazoo." Fester watches until the safe clicks, Thing opens it and inside was a rustic and old journal. Wednesday takes it and they retreat up to her Dorm room.
"These are some sweet digs. How'd you swing your own single?" Fester asks, Wednesday was too busy reading the journal.
"My former roommate couldn't handle my toxic personality. Here it is." Wednesday shows Fester the journal entry.
"Faulkner describes Hydes as artists by nature, but equally vindictive in temperament. Born of mutation, the Hyde lays dormant until unleashed by a traumatic event or unlocked through chemical inducement or hypnosis. This causes the Hyde to develop an immediate bond with its liberator, who the creature now sees as its master. It becomes the willing instrument of whatever nefarious agenda this new master might propose."
"Anyone willing to unlock a Hyde is a next-level sicko."
"That means I'm not looking for one killer but two. The monster and its master." Wednesday said, suddenly there was a knock at the door. Wednesday halted and approached, the door opened to (Y/n), who was pretty calm.
"I didn't want to just barge in, in case you were changing or something. Enid was looking for her full moon silver nail polish or whatever." He says, Wednesday didn't seem too hesitant to push him out, but she was quiet.
"Can I look for it?" He asks, Wednesday side steps.
"Thanks." He says and enters, he walks to her drawer.
"Enid she's un, has requested to room with Yoko for the rest of the school year..." (Y/n) says as he picks up and sniffs a nail polish.
"She did?" Wednesday said.
"Yeah, I just wanted you to know... in case you were wondering if she'd come back."
"I would rather buy a rope."
"Of course you would...Is it really that difficult for you to admit that you made a friend, and now that she's gone you might actually miss her? Miss me?"
"I'll survive alone. I always have." Wednesday responds, (Y/n) gives up and puts on a forced smile.
"Well. I'll let her know.." he says and puts his hands in his pocket.
"Also... a favor. Could you explain to me why someone is hiding in Enids plushies?" He says, Wednesday looks a bit taken aback and (Y/n) shrugs, he turns around.
"Come out. I know you're in here." He said, he senses the odd man's heartbeat and Fester stumbles out laughing.
"Wow! And I thought I was good at sniffing things out! What are you a bloodhound?"
"No, perceptive. Who are you? And what are you doing in a teenagers bedroom?" He says, Fester offers a handshake.
"Fester, I'm Wednesdays Uncle. Nice to meetcha!" Hd says, (Y/n) sighs and accepts the handshake, Wednesday watches the lightning touch him, but (Y/n) doesn't even flinch. Fester looks a bit taken aback, (Y/n)'s grip tightens and he yanks fester in close, they're face to face.
"You touch anything of Enids, even if one plushie is out of place and I will vaporize you. All I need to do is blink and you're gone. Do I make myself clear?" (Y/n)'s demeanor has shifted radically.
"Crystal! That's on the honor of the Girl Scouts I ate!" He says still smiling, (Y/n) let's go and walks away.
"Where are you going?” Wednesday asks.
"Not to snitch on you, whatever you do, as long as Enid is okay, is not my business anymore." He says, but he stops himself and he turns to her, he has this sad longing look on him.
"Just... Be careful, please." He says before leaving, as much as he hated Wednesday for using and getting Enid in harms way, he never wanted any harm to come to Wednesday either. It's a tough spot to hate someone, but also want them to be alright. Wednesday also felt this longing, her actions forced them away from her, while she claims solitude is what she desires, her heart says otherwise. She watches him leave, before fester laughs.
"Hey! Being a solo lobo has its perks. You get to live by your own rules, do whatever you want. Just look at me! And that guys a real charmer! Gives off that real super villain Mood." Fester said, Wednesday began to heavily consider something, and asked.
"Uncle fester.. the journal said that a Hyde can be awoken by traumatic events in a person? Can a person being forcibly blinded by their parents be traumatic?" Wednesday said.
"It's.. definitely possible! I mean I'm all for capital punishment but on your own kid? Just pick random ones off the street." He says, and Wednesday simply dreaded the thought.
The Super strength, the Traumatic events, no, (Y/n), he simply couldn't be...
(Y/n) entered the cafe, and sought after a seat.
"Yo, over here!" Yoko calls out and (Y/n) smiles hearing her voice, he walks over and sits across from her. They begin to chat pretty casually, across from the building, Wednesday was staring from afar. A bit too distracted now on her monster hunting. Fester looks over to where she's looking.
"He must be a Vampire, you know they're notoriously suave."
"He's a Fomorian.."
"Oh! You already know his breed? Aren't you just fawning?" Fester says casually.
"I will make due on my threat to hand you over and get the ransom." Wednesday said, only slightly deterring her Uncle.
"Well you look more gloomy than usual, and that's saying a lot, why don't you go over there and stab her in the heart already?"
"As much joy as that would bring me, it ill use my words." Wednesday stood up and approached. For the first time in her life she felt this toxic emotion, Jealousy.
"So, just be calm, cool about it and just say it." (Y/n) said to Yoko, she nods and they both are approached by Wednesday.
"(Y/n)" Wednesday said.
"Yeah?" He responds, Wednesday looks ready to murder Yoko but keeps her composure.
"I'd... like to speak with you. Privately."
"It's okay I was just going,” Yoko says, "She's here!" She says all giddy and (Y/n) nods.
"Go get Em Tiger." He responds and Yoko leaves to follow a Nevermore girl and speak with her, (Y/n) offers a seat.
"Seats open." He says and Wednesday sits across from her.
"So, what do you want to—"
"You need to stop seeing Yoko.. now." Wednesdays Just blurts it out, which actually stuns (Y/n).
"... talk about." He finishes, he begins to stand up.
"Yeah I'm not touching thay with a ten foot pole." He says, his wrist was suddenly grasped by Wednesday.
"At least listen to what I have to say before making a decision." She says, he slowly sits back down.
"Okay... talk." He says, Wednesday takes a deep breath and can't look him in the eye so she looks down slightly at the table.
"Ever since you and Enid departed from my life things have been.. challenging. I'll admit this form of solitude does not suit me. And after much consideration I will admit it, I used you and Enid and Tyler, I should have been more forthcoming about my plans instead of just manipulating you to do my bidding, but you're no better by using Yoko to upset me." Wednesday said and (Y/n) snickers.
"If you find something about what I said humorous than please share." Wednesday sharply said, and (Y/n) just smiles.
"Wednesday... Yoko swings for the other team."
"... what do sports have to do with this?" Wednesday said and (Y/n) laughs.
"You're so clueless it's actually cute!.." he says, Wednesday's eyes could stare daggers into his chest with her glare.
"Wednesday.. Yoko likes.. girls, Not guys." He says, which shocks Wednesday, she just stares at him.
"I.... Was not informed of that." She said, (Y/n) folds his arms and leans back.
"Everyone knows, You know men live for the day they can make a girl look stupid, and god this was so worth it. Wednesday, Yokos not into guys, she came to me asking for advice on how to ask a girl out, Divina, Kent's twin. That's why I've been hanging around with her so much. So, have any other insightful questions?" He asks smirking, Wednesday sighed wearily and began to muster up the courage to ask him.
"Yes, one more... would you, consider.. would you consider the date you planned?" She says, and he smirks even harder.
"You'll have to say the magic words~" (Y/n) says and Wednesday scowls after him.
"I'll place rusty thumbtacks all over your bedroom floor."
"That's not the word~"
"They'll never find your body.."
"Nope.. cmon I know you can do it." He said, Wednesday fiddles with her dress, gripping it on her hands as she musters up the guts to say it so cutely to him.
"Would you... would.. will you let me go on a date with you.. P-please?" She says, he smiled so honestly and nodded.
"Wednesday I'd love to spend time with you. plus I Figure after what happened last time, you owe me." He says.
"I can't sneak off of campus. All eyes are on me."
"Then we won't...Crackstone's Crypt." He stands up to leave and gives her one last quip.
"And I do forgive you Wednesday..." he said before leaving, and a bit of relief was finally washed over her. Night falls and Wednesday and (Y/n) stand before the crypt.
"Last time somebody threw a surprise for me here, it did not go as planned." She said.
"Yeah.. my bad about that, But you do have to close your eyes."
"Are you serious?"
"Oh you can't see for like 40 seconds? How tragic." He says, Wednesday says nothing and closed her eyes.
(Y/n) slowly leads her inside, "Okay. Watch your step. Wait here. Close your eyes. Okay. Easy. Right here. Okay, you can open your eyes now." He said, she opens them to a Punic, black cloth, even blacker basket of food. And what seems to be a makeshift stage.
"No one's ever taken you on a date inside a crypt before? How do you feel about, Macbeth?" He said.
"It's one of my favorites? Even Thing doesn't know that." Wednesday said.
"I had a feeling you'd like it because someone gets decapitated at the end. Seems on brand for you. But this ain't a movie. .." He said. He cracks his knuckles and smirks, he turns to the Stange and extends his hands. He then takes out a knife and cuts his hand very slightly. He places a drop of blood on the ground.
"ná bac leis an mbás thú! go dúisigh tú ar aird mo ghlao!"
"May death never stop you! May you awaken to the head of my call!"
Wednesday watches as dirt begins to move on its own, piling up and turning into bones! And more bones! Soon skeletons stood before them and Wednesday was actually amazed, she smiles, they even smell like death.
"Now, Macbeth, Please”, he says, one skeleton shifts it's body and begins to speak as if in a play.
"When ...shall we three meet again
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?"
The play begins, Wednesday watches with a Ural amazement in her eyes, seeing skeletons made of dirt reenact Macbeth is a treat not many get.
The story ends as per usual, the severed head of Macbeth is presented to Malcom. The play ends and the skeletons crumble into dirt, the two stood up after the play and walk to the exit.
"That was... Horrific..Thank you." She says, (Y/n) sighs and they stop and turn to each other.
"Wednesday, I don't mean to be so abrupt about this but, I think it's best if you know that. I truly do care for you, and I want us to be more than friends, so much more.." he begins.
"You'll snap out of it." She replies, and he gently takes her hand.
"Please...Don't do that don't Discount my feelings as puppy love."
"I'm not friend material, let alone more-than-friend material. I will ignore you, stomp on your heart, and always put my needs and interests first."
"You did.. and I wanted to hate you, but you know I'd stand by your side if you told me the truth, If you let me help you instead of using me."
"It's not going to work. I almost killed you." She says.
"Heh, Formorians Are notoriously hard to kill, but you Genuinely felt bad for it, means you can be better, I want you to be better."
"(Y/n)... we're incompatible.. and I think you'd want more out of life than someone who hates it" Wednesday said, (Y/n) looks down, he's been waiting for this moment and he tilts his head back up to look at her and shoots her right in the heart with his words.
"Well that's too bad Wednesday Addams... you think I'd want someone who wants more out of life ? Well... you're everything that I want!" He responds with so much confidence. She just, looks at him, he slowly leans in, ready to throw everything into the wind for her, Wednesday, almost as if drawn by her own emotion does as well, their lips inches away from finally getting to meet each other, but life has other plans and someone bursts into the crypt, the sheriff. He sees the two teenagers and they quickly turn to him.
"What the hell?" He says, "There's a canoe missing. Figured he might be on Raven Island. I'm not going to ask what this is, but I never saw the two of you here. You got it?" he says before leaving them there. (Y/n) just laughs as Wednesdays pulls her hands from him.
"So... shall I escort you home?" He asks.
"I'll be fine. I need time to.. think." She said.
"Heh, okay.. I'll be seeing you." He says, he cheers slightly under his breath. His first real date and it went perfectly! But some dreams for others, are just nightmares for another.
Wednesday returns to her room to see the place has been ransacked. "Thing?" She asks, and comes across him, stabbed to a pillar with a knife and quickly removed the blade from him. She only had one plan and ran for the bee hive. She storms into the room.
"Fester? Fester, help! Help! Help! Thing's not moving. He was stabbed! Get him on the table!" Fester, a bit confused quickly begins to shock thing. Trying to revive him as only Wednesday can watch distraught. But no avail, his body is still stiff.
"..He's gone, Wednesday."
"No, he's not. Thing. If you can hear me... if you die, I will kill you. Go again. Now! Again, please!" Fester continues to shock him, but it's still silence, a wave of actual pain hits Wednesday, a single tear was beginning to form, until things thumbs began to flex. A look of relief washes over Wednesday.
"For a minute, we thought you'd picked your last lock, buddy." Fester says
"Who did this to you? Knife from behind the back. Cowards. I promise that whoever did this to you will suffer. And it will be slow, long, and excruciatingly painful." Wednesday wipes a tear from her face. "I'll stitch him back up. They found your motorbike, so... the sheriff won't be far. You need to go. Maybe next time steal something a little less conspicuous."
"Where's the fun in that? All right. I'll lay low here tonight, keep an eye on the patient, and I'll skedaddle in the morning."
"I guess I'll see you at your arraignment or the next family reunion."
"You'll always be my favorite, Wednesday."
"Be sure to tell Pugsley that. It'll give him a complex." Wednesday smiles so slightly to her uncle, but she had to face the music, and Weems.
"I'm guessing it's not some kind of random prank." Weems said.
"Whoever ransacked my room also stole Nathaniel Faulkner's diary."
"That's supposed to be safely locked in the Nightshades Library."
"So you do know about that diary, which means you also know the monster we're after is called a Hyde." Wednesday said, it was only her and Weems, which let Weems finally relax.
"Faulkner spent years studying Hydes. He wanted to determine if they were just mindless killers or conscious of their actions."
"What was his conclusion?"
"He was killed by a Hyde before he could reach one. Others tried to carry on his research, but the Hydes were too unpredictable and violent. They were officially banned from Nevermore 30 years ago."
"All of this time, you've known the monster was a Hyde. Why didn't you tell the sheriff?"
"Because then Nevermore is done. Over. Shut for good. And that's not happening on my watch. But I'm not the only one withholding. If you suspect someone, you need to tell me."
"Why? All you've ever done is gaslight and obstruct me. You don't care how many people die, as long as your reputation is safe."
"I am protecting our Nevermore family, which also includes you, Ms. Addams." Weems responds a bit, forcefully, knowing what she's coming across, could finally be the key she needs to take the Hyde and it's master down. The next morning (Y/n) began his walk through Nevermore before being cut off by Bianca.
"Come with me. I have information about Mayor Walker's murder." She says, (Y/n) follows to the library and senses more in the room, Wednesdays and Lucas, the Mayors son. He shows Wednesday the photos.
"Printed these off my dad's computer. Seems he was trying to track down someone. Laurel Gates? Looks like he started right after Outreach Day."
"Must have recognized her there."
"According to British police, Laurel was presumed drowned, but no body was ever recovered."
"The Gates mansion was purchased a year ago by a 90-year-old candy heiress. She then mysteriously died and gave all of her belongings to her caregiver, Teresa L. Glau." Wednesday said, "Who?" Bianca asks.
"It's an anagram." (Y/n) explains. "For what?" Bianca and Lucas ask
"Laurel Gates." (Y/n) and Wednesday say in unison.
"Laurel secretly buys her old house and then comes back to Jericho as someone else. Why?" Bianca asked.
"Revenge on all the people she blames for her family's misfortunes. Your father. The coroner. My parents."
"And Most of all, Nevermore... but How does the monster fit into all of this?" (Y/n) thinks.
"The monster is a Hyde. It's doing Laurel's bidding. She controls it." Wednesday said,
"So, you think Laurel is using a Hyde to kill off Nevermore and Jericho residents responsible? But, who has the power to unlock a Hyde?" Bianca asks.
“The best guess would be a Psychiatrist or a..” (Y/n) says, and stops himself, he turns in the direction of Wednesday.
“Or a Therapist…”
"Wednesday, we don't have an appointment scheduled today."
Kinbott, the therapist stood before Wednesday, a black crow was in the window. Watching.
" I wanted to return something. I found it in your old childhood room." she shows Laurel a Music box.
"I know you're Laurel Gates, and you've come back to Jericho to seek your revenge. And so did Mayor Walker, which is why you had to kill him. Who better to slide in and out of the hospital undetected than a psychiatrist under the guise of visiting another patient?"
"...You're not actually accusing me of murdering the mayor?"
"The roses you left in Eugene's room were your mistake. They're the same variety I found near your childhood bed."
"Wednesday...I honestly have no idea what you're talking about."
"There's only one reason an overqualified psychiatrist like yourself would settle in the inconsequential backwater that is Jericho. It allowed you to crawl through the troubled, young minds of outcasts until you found one that you can manipulate to exact your revenge."
"You know what? I don't have time to deal with your delusional fantasies. I have a patient emergency."
"Who? Xavier? I know all about the secret sessions you've been holding in your car. I also found the cave where you've been holding sessions to unlock his Hyde."
"You are so out of line."
"Do you know how violently unpredictable a Hyde can be? It was your plan to have Xavier committed before he could turn on you too."
"Wednesday, you need help. More help than I can give you." Kinbott begins to dial her phone.
"Who you calling? Xavier?"
"Judge Reynolds. I'm going to recommend you stay in a juvenile psychiatric facility."
"Oh, please. You and I both know I'd be running that place in a week. Time's up, Laurel." Wednesday leaves, as the bird continues to watch. A bit a ways away, (Y/n) sits calmly, awaiting the crow to return.
"Principal Weems, it's Valerie Kinbott. Wednesday Addams just barged into my office. I wasn't aware that Wednesday had a session today. She didn't, and her behavior was completely irrational!" She yells before she hears something in the bathroom. She opens it up, and that spelled her end. (Y/n) stands as Wednesday approaches.
"All went well?" He asks.
"According to plan." She responds, he extends his arm as the crow lands and begins to caw rapidly.
"Yes I saw— what.. when? What!?" (Y/n) yells, which stuns Wednesday. He bolts off back to Kinbott.
"(Y/n)? (Y/n)?!" Wednesday follows suit and they push open the door, blood spilled past it and onto the ground. And Wednesday sees it splatter the walls. (Y/n) smells the scent of blood in the room, and the slowly cooling corpse before them. (Y/n) turns to Wednesday.
"No more games Wednesday, you know who the Hyde is.. we need to stop them. Now.
Xavier returns back to his dark shop and creeps in. He turns on the light to Wednesday sitting there, with a knife in the table.
"You know what? You need to stay out of my space."
"You need to take your own advice. You left that in my room." Wednesday Jams the knife into the table. "Actually, you left it in Thing. How long have you been seeing Kinbott?"
"Have you...What am I saying? Of course you have. You've been having (Y/n) and his creepy crowd spy on me, right? 'Cause I'm the villain in your fantasy. My father thinks that my mental health is a PR problem that he needs to manage. He wanted to keep his troubled son out of the tabloids. I wasn't in your room. Believe me or don't believe me, I don't care."
"Your painting's been improving. I enjoy this one in particular." Wednesday reveals a painting of kimbott, and her face scarred.
"Feels like you really lived it."
"What do you want?"
"I'm asking the questions." Wednesday begins to show Xavier the seeming tokens from Xavier's kills.
"What is Rowan's inhaler doing in your shed? Or Eugene's glasses?"
"Whoa, whoa." Xavier said
"Or these stalker images you took of me?"
"N-No. I..."
"Don't forget your latest addition. Kinbott's necklace."
"Somebody planted that stuff!" Xavier yells walking towards Wednesday, just then, the police barge in.
"Freeze! Drop the knife!"
"Down on your knees. Cuff him." You have the right to remain silent. Appreciate the help, Addams." The sheriff said, which just enrages Xavier.
"You! You framed me! I'm being set up. I shoulda let Rowan kill you." Xavier is cuffed and taken into custody, the night continues and Wednesday returns to her dorm. Which Enid was there.
"Hey."
"You're back."
"I'm gone for a few days, the place gets trashed, and Thing almost dies. Someone's gotta look out for you two."
"What happened to rooming with Yoko?"
"Yoko's great. I just decided I needed a few more boundaries." Enid prepares to tape the floor but Wednesday stops her. "Skip the tape."
"Don't tell me Wednesday Addams is mellowing out."
"Never. More like evolving."
"Well, one inch of duct tape at a time."
"Why the sudden change of heart Enid?"
"Because we work. We shouldn't, but we do. It's like some sort of weird, friendship anomaly. Everything you said about me is true...But I don't apologize for it. Not anymore, when I was first here, (Y/n) told me something that I never understood until now.. that, I'm me, and it's okay to be me, to never apologize for being the person who I am and to never let anyone change that. It's just who I am." Enid says so, confidently.
"Thing said he missed you."
"I missed him too. I'm sorry about Xavier."
"I'm not. He's a liar and a killer. Besides... there's nothing quite like the feeling of being proven right."
"Except maybe someone to share it with. Thing may have blabbed about your date with (Y/n)." Enid says winking, Wednesday just looks at her annoyed, but looks back on fond memories.
"So how'd it go?" Enid asks, Wednesday thinks about informing her of what could have happened.
"Your Surrogate brother knows how to Intrige a girl at least, I can see why you constantly battle the ideals of love and confusion about your feelings regarding him." Wednesday said which stuns Enid. "I-I don't have feelings—"
"It was interrupted." She finishes, Enid tries to play it all off. "Well maybe you should go see him? I mean you did sort of lock up his room mate." She said, and Wednesday agrees.
(Y/n) sits inside his dorm room, sensing the silence inside. He hears the door knock.
"It's open." He said, Wednesday enters and he senses her presence. He walks over and they get a bit, close.
"Are you okay? I know it must have been hard to do that to him." (Y/n) said.
"Not really, he was a murderer."
"Wow, that was a quick turn around... so, dumb question incoming—"
"I find all of your questions dumb, I just indulge you."
"Okay, so.. would you like to pick up where we left off?~" he Leans in, and this time, Wednesday isn't so hesitant herself, allowing his hand to gently caress her cheek, he risks it's all and she does as well. Their lips reach contact, and like a murder of crows their black hearts flock together. The sweet taste of black cherry on her lips, (Y/n) has never felt so happy, and Wednesday has never felt so, alive. And (Y/n) has never felt so, human. Alas, all good things come with a price. Wednesday, on contact had another vision.
She watched as (Y/n) stood to fight someone with his own pet wolf, against., Tyler! who transforms into the Hyde! The vision jumps to him crawling away from someone desperately trying to escape, and the final vision was Wednesday holding his corpse, almost as if fate was telling her that all fairytales come to a bloody end. She snaps out of it to (Y/n).
"Wednesday?! Wednesday what's wrong!" He asks, frantically, and she just stares at him.
"Of course the first boy I kiss would them show me visions of his grueling and painful death...And they say those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, well...
"I hate history."

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 28
THE CHAIR
Tara finishes a paper and has Sam proofread it.
“Hey, Sam?!” Tara shouted from her desk in her room.
“Yeah?!” 
“Can you come here?!” she answered, leaning back into her chair and arching her back to stretch the stiffness in it. She heard her sister’s footsteps come down the hallway and glanced over to her open door, where her figure soon appeared. 
“What do you need?” Sam asked.
Her sister nodded to her laptop that sat glowing on her desk. “I finished my paper. Can you read over it for me?”
She nodded and came into the room to make her way to the desk, “Sure.” When Tara got up, she sat down and reviewed the layout. “When is this due?”
“Tonight, at midnight.”
“You realize that’s in 10 minutes, right?” Sam’s gaze broke away from the screen to glare at her. “Why did you wait so long to write it?”
The other rolled her eyes, “Because that was the most boring prompt ever! Just be glad I even made an effort to complete it. I was tempted to just turn in my outline.” She stretched her arms above her head with a gratified groan. “It’s not that long, it’ll probably take you, like, 5 minutes.” When she was answered with a scoff, she dismissed herself to let her paper be proof-read accordingly. “I’m going to get water now. Correct any grammar mistakes you see, because I’m sick of looking at it.”
Sam spent the next few minutes reading and making minor edits to her little sister’s essay, until she came back in.
Tara placed her water cup down and looked over her shoulder to monitor where she was at. “You’re only this far?” She was surprised. 
“Grammar isn’t exactly your strong suit, Tara,” was the flat reply.
The younger Carpenter just huffed and moved to nudge the propped arm that Sam was leaning her head against. When she earned a confused look, she took it upon herself to briefly explain. “Move. I wanna sit with you,” she ordered.
Sam glanced down to the single-person chair, and then looked back up at her. “Uh, this chair’s for one person?” 
“That’s fine.” Tara’s invited herself to slip between the occupied seat and the desk to sit down on her lap. “I’m small, so you can just hold me.” She grabbed her cup and took another sip, trying to hide the amused smile pulling at her lips while her big sister blinked at her.
“Are you serious?”
“Mm-hmm.” She nodded and put the cup back down on the desk. “Absolutely. Now, quit staring at me and stare at my paper, yeah?” she playfully reached behind to poke her side.
Sam smirked and rolled her eyes. “Hey, I’m the one doing you a favor, remember?” she teased and returned the prod. “I could make you read over it yourself.”
Her little sister snickered and twisted away at the contact. “Nooo, I’m too tired to do it myself,” she whined, dramatically. 
Again, her sibling scoffed and shook her head, letting Tara lean back into her, to which she rested her chin on her shoulder to continue reading. 
While she did so, Tara took the arm that wasn’t controlling the mouse and guided it over her torso to hold her in place. She tilted her head, studying the skin of her sister’s forearm. “Have you ever thought about getting a tattoo?”
“Mm– not really,” came the quick answer.
She began tracing random drawings and designs on her arm, continuing to space-off into the idea. “We should get matching tattoos. We could do, like, matching emojis, or each other’s birthdays, or our initials. Ooh, or what about a knife and phone—”
“Tara, I have 4 minutes to read this,” Samantha cut in. “I can’t focus when you’re talking.”
“Sorry.”
The younger Carpenter sighed and tilted her head back to stare at the ceiling. As she blinked at the shadows from the popcorn detail, she listened to the sound of Sam’s steady breathing and the occasional clicking of the mouse and keyboard. Then, she shifted herself to the side, draping her legs over the other’s and holding onto her neck, like she used to do as a kid. Sam shifted a little but didn’t seem to mind, which allowed her to nuzzle her head into the crook of her neck to watch the screen with weary eyes. “You’re almost done,” she pointed out, “This is the last paragraph before the conclusion.” When she wasn’t answered in any way, she asked, “Am I heavy?”
This got her a response. “No,” her older sister shook her head, the arm around the other’s waist pulling tighter to hold her close. She knew whenever Tara was tired, she became clingy and seemed to regress into her pre-adolescent behaviors—when she’d want her attention and affection. She never minded, though.
“But heavier than when we were little, right?”
Still, the older Carpenter denied it, “Nope.” She scrolled down the screen to move on to the conclusion. “Never has there ever been a time when I couldn’t hold you.”
This made Tara chuckle. “You say that like you think it’ll be that way forever.”
“It will be. I’d hold you no matter what, my love.”
“Even if I told you not to?” she tested.
“Yep.”
“Even if I yelled at you and made you cry?”
“Mm-hmm.”
And then her challenges started to become darker.
“Even if your arms were broken?”
“Mm-hmm.”
“Even if the world was falling down around us?”
“No matter what.”
“‘Forget the world, there’s just us,’ right?”
Sam finished reading her sister’s essay and looked away from the screen to kiss her head. “Mm-hmm. That’s right.”
Tara then lightened the mood. “You’re so drama-coded, Sammy,” she teased.
“You’re the one who climbed in my lap, because you wanted my attention,” she countered.
The other turned her face to hide it in her sister’s shirt. “How do you know?”
She chuckled. “It was the chair, Tara…”
Because the chair was only meant for one person to sit in it, Tara chose to sit on her lap.
“It was the chair…”
Because of the chair, Sam was able to hold her like this.
And that was just the way it was.

Name: Kay
Hair: Brown long and wavy
Eyes: Blue
Age: 25
Height: 5’8
Background: She has strong legs, tattooed and a curvy plus size figure. She’s always horny, can orgasm easily, she’s cheeky, kind and caring. Confident in who she is and isn’t scared even though she’s going to be a first time mum and very excited about this experience if not slightly nervous.
Kay smiled as she waddled up and down the hallways of the clinic, waving at the various staff she passed, all who smiled back at her warmly. Her gigantic belly swayed as she walked, trying to get her labor to progress a bit faster, though she still was not in too much pain yet. Rubbing her huge bump as she walked around slowly, she felt a great bit of movement, as the babies inside her seemingly made their own final preparations to be born.
Kay had been ecstatic when she had gone for her gender reveal ultrasound and learned that she was carrying twins. She had almost orgasmed then and there, and since then, the curvy plus sized 25 year old had enjoyed the kind of pregnancy experience only two babies inside her at once could bring. Now, at a week before her due date, she held her torpedo like belly with both hands, fully in labor as she waddled her way back to her birthing suite. "Honestly, birth is wonderful," she thought, this being her first pregnancy. Kay brushed her long brown hair back and looked down at her belly again, cooing at the babies inside. She was excited and overjoyed that she was about to be a mother soon.
"Breathe, just breathe, you are doing great," the midwife coached as Kay panted. Labor was progressing fast now, and though it was now starting to get painful, Kay was more horny than hurting. The sensations in her lower body were building her up to an orgasm again, and her thoughts straying back to the act that left her in this condition, in full detail, was contributing to this as well. The blue eyed mother panted harder and harder as the midwife checked her dilation, and let out a moan of both pain and pleasure. "I'm gonna... ORGASM!" Kay warned, giving the midwife just enough time to remove her hands and say, "You're nine centimeters!"
After the orgasm, Kay's moans of pleasure changed to crying as the pain fully took hold. The pressure had been increasing the entire time, and now it felt like it was ready to rip open the young mother's vagina. "Ooh, I need to push," Kay cried out, and after another dilation check, the midwife told her that she could.
Kay screamed as she pushed, feeling the head of the first baby meet the folds of her vagina and start pushing against it. "AAH, THIS REALLY HUURTS!" Kay whined, as the midwife wiped around her opening. "Push, get it out," the midwife coached, and Kay moaned loudly as she pushed again. The head inched out, and then retreated back in as soon as Kay relaxed, and she cried in frustration. "Would another position be better?" The midwife asked, and helped Kay off the bed after the laboring mother nodded. Kay got on her hands and knees, her massive protruding belly resting on the floor as she squealed through another contraction. However, this seemed to do the trick, as Kay pushed, and the head bulged out. "OOWW, MY PUSSY," Kay exclaimed as her vagina opened wider, forced apart by the size of the head. "You're doing great," the midwife assured Kay over her loud moans. With another push, and a sharp scream, the head popped out and hung between Kay's strong legs like a small melon. The midwife guided one of Kay's hands up to where her vagina hung in the air, so that the young mother could feel her baby for the first time. Barely a minute of this passed, before Kay quickly returned her hand to the floor, to brace herself as she pushed the rest of the baby's body out of her.
As the newborn baby boy cried, and a second midwife attended to him on the other side of the room, Kay cried out from the floor, "This one feels bigger! I THINK THIS ONE IS BIGGER!" She let out a scream as she felt the head of the twin push through her roughly. "OOOOWWW!! OOOOHHHH!!" Kay swayed from side to side, still on all fours as she attempted to relieve herself of some of the pain. Her hands and knees were growing numb and sore from being on them so long, but as she felt the overwhelming pressure hit her again, Kay knew she could not change positions again even if the wanted to, which she did not. The baby seemed to be coming fast, yet simultaneously, was taking its sweet time. Several pushes later, Kay and the midwife understood why. This baby was indeed bigger, and Kay was having trouble moving it. After 10 agonizing minutes, the head finally bulged at Kay's vagina, and then refused to move anymore. "AAAGGHH, COME ON, GET OUT!" Kay screamed. "YOU'RE HURTING ME BABY!" The midwife instructed her to push harder, but Kay was tiring out, and she did not think she could find any more strength.
Kay's mind raced as the pain, pressure, and sensations overtook her. Her thoughts focused on these sensations, and somehow, connected her again with thoughts of the night she had gotten pregnant. It was blissful, and as she relived this moment in her mind again, she began panting and moaning loudly, rocking forward and backward. The pain was slightly muted as Kay trembled in pleasure, her body building up to yet another orgasm. This was exactly what she needed, however, as the orgasm got the baby moving where hard pushing could not. As Kay screamed in both pain and pleasure, the head slipped out with a gush of fluids and hung in the air, showing the midwife that the baby was indeed bigger than its sibling, almost twice his size. Kay shook and panted exhaustedly from the floor, letting out a low moan. With another push, the baby was born, and it was also a boy. Her strength and emotions both depleted, Kay slumped forward, where a midwife caught her and helped the tired young woman back up into bed, where she could rest. Barely conscious from exhaustion, Kay smiled as the midwife brought both of her newborns over to her. "They're... wonderful," Kay breathed out, before succumbing to a peaceful sleep.
(Your character rolled an 11 = twin birth)
