Minors DNI
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Today has been so long! Jungkook is beyond exhausted. He didn’t really want to be in the office at all today on top of it. He’s gotten used to working only 2 days in the office, and three at home due to his routine. The thought alone of his routine being disturbed pissed him off. Plus, He has been in serious work mode all week. He hasn’t even been able to just cuddle on the couch. You’ve been asleep the last 2 nights when he got home as well. You cuddle up to him like usual when he climbs into bed but damn, he’d do anything to just have a lazy day and not be in a rush to get up. 
Apparently, his employees can’t follow simple directions. He’s been stuck reprogramming a new app for what seems like forever. He swears if it didn’t pay the bills, and If he wasn’t so good at it- He’d find something else to occupy his time. He wishes he got paid for all the times you cross his mind, that would be a lot better than being here -and he’d be filthy rich! 
As Jungkook reaches into his pocket for his phone to call you, someone else rips his chance from him. 
You have got to be fucking kidding. 
“Oh, um..Mr. Jeon I just wanted to ask is it okay if I leave early today?” His assistant asks him. 
Jungkook has never been someone who was extremely strict. He knows he’s younger than most of the people working for him and he’s been cool about a lot of things because of that. However, that does not mean they can walk all over him. They take time away from you when they don’t do their job and also add more problems than solutions lately. He’s simply fed up. 
“Go into the meeting room and call everyone there please Duri.” He asks nicely, even though he doesn’t know why he keeps being so kind about it. 
“Oh…okay sir. Will do. But i-“
Jungkook really doesn’t care. He’s not trying to be mean but today has been a shit show. Things could be going better than this. That’s all he’s hoping for. 
“Duri…tell them they have thirty minutes. That means you too.” He points to the door, sitting his feet up on his desk. 
His assistant stares blankly, so Jungkook squints, points again and tilts his head. 
“By the time you’re done looking at me…There will be zero minutes.” He exhales placing his hands behind his head, as he watches Duri run out.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Today you’ve decided to bring Jungkook lunch, he seemed so sluggish this morning. He gave you your good morning kisses but you can tell something is up. He didn’t even remember his banana milk. You’ve seen him do a lot of unusual things, but this weirdly enough takes the cake. The last time you even remember him acting like this, was when he swore he bombed an exam -He got the top score in his class, but that’s not the point. Jungkook genuinely only acts like this when there’s more work than he wants to do, or he feels burnt out. You know him the same way you know yourself, if not better. You have been thinking about him heavily today as well. You both could use a day off after this week, but life isn’t always that kind, you’ll just have to make do with your idea today. 
You get dressed in a shirt of his since he likes you in them so much, a cute skirt and some shoes.  Food and banana milk in tow, making sure you feed Bam on the way out. 
Once you arrive you can hear him giving what may be a motivational speech in the conference room. Jungkook is so cool in your eyes. He has his own business at 23, which he started two years ago. His gym side-venture is thriving. You’re almost there with him but not quite yet, starting your own media company is in the works though, and it’s nice to have his support. It still amazes you how Jungkook can make his mind so quickly with business decisions. He’s really intelligent- that’s exactly what you love about him. 
You realize you’ve been just standing in the entryway like a creep daydreaming about your boyfriend so you continue to walk forward and get closer to the door. 
“Can someone explain to me why everyone thinks they can just leave early while I reprogram everything? “
Oh. That’s why he’s so tired. 
You take note that no one responded, so there’s no reason he should have been left to do everything. He’s absolutely right. Your poor baby. you know how much of a perfectionist he is as well. He deserves some rest too though.  You decide to keep listening. 
“We’re supposed to be a team so I treat you fairly but this isn’t fair…I have someone waiting at home for me too.” He says. 
That person is you- and that makes your heart do backflips, the butterflies in your tummy rise, and a smile creep upon your face. You now know why he’s been so out of it lately. He’s doing a lot of hard work, barely gets as much time home as his employees and he just misses spending time with you. You’ll definitely visit work more when he can’t be at home with you if it makes him feel better.  You miss him too whenever you’re separated. It’s really refreshing to know he feels the same. 
As for Jungkook. His heart is kind of heavy. He knows it hasn’t been that long but he’s really been stressed out lately, the past two weeks at work have been hell and he feels like he can’t catch a break. He just needs to be with you, somewhere he can relax. With someone who is his comfort place. 
“Starting today we all do our delegated parts. I do mine. You do yours. We talk to each other about things beforehand that could affect other people’s schedules. Understood?” He asks. You can tell he doesn’t want to be that guy, but he also knows he’s been too nice until now. 
“If you do your part I don’t care what you do afterward if you wanna go home so be it. But finish your task.” 
He looks so withdrawn and tired. Watching everyone give him a head nod, you decide to just go sit in his office while he dismisses everyone. 
He walks in completely irritated and immediately starts patting for his phone but then looks up to see you. Sitting on the loveseat in his office. Smiling and waving hello to him. The sun from the window lightly shines on you. You look like what you are- his angel. 
“Hi, handsome!” You stand up and walk towards him. 
“You’re really here? Like I’m not going crazy because I missed you?” He says waving his hand in his own face. 
He’s always so silly. You hug his waist. Your face in his chest. He immediately hugs back. He doesn’t know how you knew he needed you, but he doesn’t care. He just appreciates the fact that you always show up for him. You always have. 
“No, but you’re checking your hand silly to make sure you’re real. Instead, you should be kissing me to make sure I’m real…” you say peaking your head up and poking your lips out. 
“You’re so cute. “ He says leaning down to kiss you. Cupping your face in his hand. Lips smacking gently against yours. His kisses are so soft and feel divine. 
“I’m. sorry. I’m. not. home. “ he says a kiss between every word. 
You pull away and look up at him he’s still holding your face so you place a hand on his forearm.
“Don’t apologize for working. I’m glad you stood up for yourself and I’m even happier to be here with you.” You say and lean back in for another kiss. 
“How am I so lucky?” He says as you both finally pull away. 
“Makes two of us! I brought you lunch and even brought my laptop too.…”
Jungkook sits in his office chair and you climb on his lap. Straddling him. 
He immediately reaches for the remote that closes the blinds. Not that anyone can see his office from where they sit but just in case they thought of approaching him. 
You wrap your arms around his neck. 
“If you’re gonna be bored and have to be here, let’s be bored and overworked, responsible people together…” You say leaving a kiss on his neck. 
“…I can rub your shoulders while you code. You can fill me in on everything I missed this week.” 
He hisses at the sensation of your neck kisses. Hands running up and down your sides. 
“I really missed you.” He says and puts a finger on your chin to tilt your head to his. Kissing you yet again. 
Then he continues. “Don’t want to work, just want to be with you” He’s always pouting, so you do what anyone would do in your situation-Pull his bottom lip in, and suck on it gently then let it go with a pop. 
That’s when an idea pops into your head. 
Jungkook’s office is spacious, and you can tell he needs to decompress, so maybe you’ll …
“Don’t work then, let me do it.” You say and push the chair back a little bit so you can stand up. 
Jungkook raises an eyebrow, “ Aren’t you supposed to do your work?”
“I will.” You say and he looks up at you. Standing in front of him with your head tilted- fucking cute, he also takes note of how you made sure to wear his shirt. 
“Baby you don’t really like coding… I tried teaching you before unless it’s a blog or something-“ you interrupt him. 
You place your hands on his thighs, hovering, still standing, and kissing him. 
“If I do a good job on it, we go home.” You state matter of factly. Almost like you’re making a deal, that you know you’ve won. 
He chuckles “Who’s work mine or yours?”
“Mmm it’s my task but…” Jungkook watches as your fingers dance closer to his crotch.  
“You’re the work.” You finish your statement dropping to your knees. 
You love the way he looks at you from above. Biting his lip and tilting his head slightly. 
Jungkook raises his hips so you can unfasten the button on his trousers.
“Gotta be quiet princess-oh shitt.” 
Jungkook’s head falls back as your hand strokes up and down his length. He knew he was the task- but if you’re about to suck him off here, his work day has had the best turn of events possible. 
“I’m gonna make you feel good, okay?” he nods breathlessly, It’s interesting how you both have the same effect on each other. 
“Don’t you always.” He says rolling his head forward to watch you. His mouth is drawn out into an ‘O’ shape, You know how much eye contact turns him on and you haven’t broken it yet. He looks fucked out and you’ve barely done anything. 
You spit on his dick and move your hands up, your pumps are perfect and have him bring his lip more and more at the sensation. 
“Babygirl, I think that’s enough teasing.”
You shake your head no and look up at him through your lashes. 
“How can you look at me like that knowing I’ll rip your clothes to shreds if -Fuck.”  You don’t mean to interrupt him. You promise. You just really notice all the precum oozing from his tip and can’t help but put your mouth on it. Sucking on the head of his dick like the good girl you’ve shown him you can be. He deserves it though
If you kept teasing him, you knew he would edge you non-stop later as well - and you’re already soaking through your panties. 
As you look up at Jungkook once more, you slide his entire length in your mouth at once, His shoulders relax and his hand comes to your hair and moves it out of your face. 
He has a thing for visuals, you happen to be his favorite.  
You rest at the base and keep your eyes on him as you bob up and down. Jungkook is massive, He’s really impressed that you can take him the way you do, and suck him so effortlessly. All of it makes him hard whenever he thinks about it. This is going to be engraved in his brain forever. 
You finally lift up and Jungkook watches the drool from your lips that’s attached to his cock as well. 
You moan at the sight of how red, swollen, and slobbery you have his dick, before going back in for more. 
Jungkook’s moans have been turning you on, he sounds so good and it’s making you never want to stop as you suck the soul out of him. 
You start to moan too, rubbing your thighs together for friction.  He just looks so fucking good!  You could cum from the visual in front of you as well
“Look at you sucking my dick like a good girl, so fucking pretty!” He says gripping your hair up more so he can enjoy his view. 
You go all the way down once more, then tighten your lips as you come back to the head of his dick, moaning so he feels the vibrations go down his shaft. 
“Just like that baby.” He says encouraging you. 
You continue deep throating him, watching his knees get weaker even though he’s in the chair, he looks like he’s barely holding on. Fully concentrating on the way he looks at you with lusty eyes but can’t contain his moans. 
Your hand starts palming his balls as you feel him deep in your throat. 
“Fuck baby girl, I’m gonna cum soon- oh my fucking god!” He’s trying his best to be quiet. You really hope his coworkers can’t hear him, but a part of you doesn’t care as long as he feels better. 
Jungkook is close and you nonverbally ask him with the look you give him for confirmation, just to double-check. He’s panting and can barely answer you. 
“Y-ye-yes baby.” He finally manages to muster out. 
You swirl your tongue up and down as you continue deep-throating him. It’s all so sloppy and messy. Your eyes are a little watery too, but you won’t stop until you swallow every last drop. 
“Fuck fuck fuck.” His chants and breathing are erratic which means…
Jungkook pushes your head all the way down and bites his lip, looking at you as he cums all down your throat. It’s so warm and thick. You moan and feel his hand slip from your hair to your neck as he pushes himself further one more time.
He pulls all the way out and you gasp but stick your tongue out to show him you’ve swallowed every last drop. 
You rise to your feet and sit on his desk, but he stands all the way up and towers over you. Lips brush across yours before he leans into your neck and leaves a kiss right below your ear lobe. 
“I’d love to bend you over here but let’s go home. I want to hear you scream.”
 You don’t have to be told twice! 
So back home you go- the both of you.

thinking about older bf bradley helping you move houses! maybe your moving home from college and moving in together and all your friends are jealous of your super hot boyfriend.
don’t !! even !!! where was this man when I moved into my college dorm up four flights of stairs alone bc the lift was broken !?!
he’s there the day before, standing with his hands on his hips and surveying your half-packed up room, silently.
“I know it’s a lot of stuff, but, um—“
“No, no,” He lifts his arm and tucks you under it, squeezing you softly against his side, planting a quick kiss to the top of your head. “It’s fine. We’ll make it fit. I’ve got it.”
The two of you have got the place to yourselves and your bed hasn’t been taken apart yet. You look up at him with a mischievous glint in your eye, “Last chance to fuck a college girl, Bradshaw. What do you say?”
He chuckles softly as he unwraps his arm from around your shoulder and smacks your ass instead. Spinning you towards him and starting to walk you backwards, there’s a dubious look on his face as he studies you.
“I feel like you get turned on when I come over here. Y’know, I’ve never been in this apartment once without us fucking in it? — What’s up with that?”
You smile, pushing up onto your tiptoes and kissing him sweetly. “You’re thinking too much. I just can’t get enough of you.”
“Uh-uh.” Bradley chuckles, pressing you down onto your beck and guiding your thighs around his waist. You’re exceptionally eager, lifting your head and kissing him passionately, trying to deepen the kiss with each breath.
Bradley hates this bed. In fact, he can’t wait to tear it apart tomorrow morning and never have to see it again. With each thrust, the headboard smacks into the wall behind it — and with these thin walls in these new apartment buildings, Bradley’s just been waiting for the day where he has to patch a hole in the drywall.
Like the headboard isn’t enough, you’re a whimpering, moaning mess for him — but that’s nothing new. He’s still breathing hard as he buckles his belt again and pulls his t-shirt over his head.
The plan is for him to take a few boxes today, nonessentials, and come back tomorrow for the rest. That’s the only reason your bed is still standing. You wanted one last night in the apartment with your roommates. Speaking of roommates — Bradley has never met yours. You’re usually either over at his place or you sneak him in in the dead of night.
So, when you pull open your bedroom door and they’re all sitting right there on the couch — he’s just as surprised as they are. Especially because of how they’re looking at him, wide-eyed and vaguely impressed. You watch the realisation dawn on him that they just heard everything.
He closes his eyes for a second and makes peace with the fact that these three girls just heard you moaning his callsign, declaring loudly that you were going to cum.
Then, he swallows his pride and forces a polite smile. Their eyes all flicker down at once to leer at his flexing biceps as he holds two of your boxes stacked against his chest.
“Um, guys — this is Bradley. Bradley, my, uh… roommates.”
He nods in acknowledgement. “Nice to meet you all.”
“Mhm.” Their lips quirk in unison, you can see it on their faces that they’re trying not to be weird while he’s still here.
“I’ll be back in a second.” You wave them off, ushering Bradley downstairs and following him to his truck. He sets the boxes down and rounds on you swiftly, making your eyes go wide.
“You wanted them to hear.”
Your mouth twitches. You control it quickly and stare back at him. “What? — No.”
“You know their schedules! You knew they’d be back from class, and you wanted them to hear us fucking,” Bradley has hit the nail on the head, really. You bite back a smile and shake your head innocently at him. It’s just that they’re always teasing you about this mystery guy that you’re seeing, and how awful he must be if you won’t let them see him.
You’ve heard all of their reasons by now. That he’s old and gross. That he’s bad in bed. That he’s ugly. Or weird. You just cant hold it back anymore, the smile working its way onto your lips, knowing that you’ve rendered them all speechless.
Bradley watches your smile grow, shaking his head in disbelief. You gasp as he grabs you and pulls you hard against him by your belt loops.
“You should’ve let me know, baby girl. We could have made some real noise for them.” He tells you, leaned in closer than is appropriate for a public sidewalk in the middle of the day. You press your thighs together as he shoots you a quick wink, then leans down and kisses your mouth.
The bed might be the first thing to go the next morning when he’s packing up your room for good, but you already know that he’s got you bent over your desk and on the verge of forgetting your own name, just one last time, before you leave.

Your friend Ajax is a little strange—scratch that, he’s a lot strange.
“So, as I was saying, my friends and I are hosting a party at my house, and I’d really like it if you came.”
His eyes bore into you, a sort of blue that mirrored the depths of the ocean. It’s no wonder he intimidates a lot of people, his eyes alone could scare anyone with thalassophobia. Luckily for you, you don’t have much fear of anything besides failing class, which is why you’d have to turn down his offer.
“Can’t. I’ve got a test tomorrow.” You pick up a soda that’s frankly worth more than your entire week’s worth of allowance and scan it.
Ajax leans on the counter, blinking his eyes up at you in what he probably thought was cute, but really only managed in giving you the ick. “Aw, c’mon. Pretty please?”
“I’m charging you extra if you don’t stop bugging me.”
He sighs dramatically, conceding with a pout. But the calculating look on his face tells you that you should be on your guard for the next few days.
You were correct.
Your classmate Ajax is annoying.
He’d gone from being a slight bother in the 7-eleven you work at to somehow being enrolled in your university and coincidentally sharing all of your classes. Even the ones that don’t have anything to do with his major.
“Hey, let’s have lunch together after class!” He accosts you while you were in the middle of placing your things back in your bag. You were about to say no, citing an excuse about meeting with a friend or finishing some unfinished homework, but your attention was caught when he adds, “Don’t worry about the money, I’ll pay for our food.”
And so you find yourself sitting at a high end restaurant, staring at a menu that lists the cheapest food possible as the exact amount of your monthly salary. Ajax remains unbothered by the price, watching you with his elbows on the table and fingers interlocked, chin resting on top of his hands and waiting for you to pick which one you’d like.
Well, he did say he was paying so…
You order the ones you’d have never been able to afford and, for good measure, an expensive cup of ice cream that would normally cost ten mora at any convenience store. He doesn’t even flinch when the bill is presented, only smiling like he’s having the best day as he hands his card to the waiter.
He even drives you home that day with his fancy car that looks just a little too polished for you to mistake his intentions. He’s bragging and trying to impress you.
And, well, consider yourself impressed.
Your boyfriend Ajax is crazy.
Not even the fun kind of crazy, no. This is beyond insane, a catastrophe, borderline harassment—
“I’d like to dedicate this song to my lovely sugarpie who deserves the world and more!”
He’s standing outside your classroom window, a guitar in hand while his friends hold a microphone to his mouth and a speaker that would make even your university’s auditorium speakers sound like a whisper. People are staring, students and professors alike pointing at him and then to you, a grin on their faces whilst some of the older professors look scandalized.
Ajax remains smiling, singing the cringiest song you’ve ever heard in your life with his off-tune voice. Not even Venti made you feel this much second hand embarrassment.
With one final wink and a kiss he blows in your direction, he ends the song.
You hate Valentine’s Day.
(At least the chocolates and flowers were good.)

The first time you officially met Wilbur was at a random party. It was a summer party one of your classmates had set up, and she told you it would be a small ordeal. The opposite occurred, which truthfully, you should’ve expected given that it was a party to celebrate the classmates moving into their final year of Uni. You didn’t hate the party atmosphere, it was a nice party even if it was more crowded and louder than you’d expected. You had a few drinks and a few good conversations before stumbling into Wilbur. 
You did literally stumble into him, tripping over someone’s shoe and landing against him. His drink knocked into you as well, spilling all over the front of your shirt.
“Oh, holy shit, are you alright?” He asked quickly, holding onto your arms.
“I’m alright, yeah, sorry. Are you?”
He smiled, “I’m fine, don’t worry about it. Let me help clean you up.” He pulled you to the bathroom, closing the door and muting most of the party droning out with it. 
“We had english together, last semester, didn’t we?” He grabbed a towel, drying your shirt off. 
“Uh,” you flushed, “I’ll be honest, I barely payed attention to that class. I was playing Minecraft on my laptop in the back most days.” 
“Oh?” He laughed, “Good to know I wasn’t alone then. I’m Wilbur.” “Y/N. If you can’t tell, I’m not great at first impressions.”
He smiled, “Well, if you want, we could always have a redo.”
���A redo?” You chuckled, “How so?”
“Hm,” he thought, “How about we act like we were too drunk to remember meeting tonight? And then, I know a good, quiet bar downtown where we can show up separately and pretend we don’t know each other until one of us gets the courage to go up to the other?” He grinned up at you.
You laughed loudly, and he looked at you like you hung the stars in the sky, “Okay, yeah. That sounds great.”
You and Wilbur did go to that bar. In fact, it became a common thing for the two of you to go that little dive bar every weekend. It was a bit further from campus, a good thirty minute walk, but it made up for it in the almost secretive energy the bar had, making it easier to hide your growing anxieties and embarrassment about just how close to Wilbur you’d gotten. What started as the fleeting thought about how attractive he was had manifested into a strong crush, one that toustled you like a wave everytime you saw him. It got harder to keep your composure around him. And the best way to combat the shaking hands and stuttering words?
Shots, obviously. As the two of you joked, you both got progressively drunker. To the point where neither of you were able to safely get home. So a cab it was.
When you got in the cab, drunkenly stumbling in, the cabbie asked where he was taking you both.
It occurred to both of you that neither of you wanted to be alone right now, it was only a matter of boldness now.
You looked at Wilbur, “I rent a place on Cornelia Street.”
Wilbur nodded, leaning into your side a bit, “Okay.”
You told the cab driver your address, and he drove quickly, probably not wanting to risk the two drunk college kids puking in his cab. The drunkenness started lightening up on the drive, Wilbur only left tipsy, while you were on the comedown of your drunkenness.
You and Wilbur split the cost once you’d gotten there, and you held onto his arm as you pulled him upstairs. It felt like a stepping stone, a new era of your relationship, to have him come over to your apartment, even if you were still drunk. 
Stumbling in, he looked around, “Your place is really nice.”
“Thanks,” you smiled softly, walking over to the couch with him. You both sat down, probably far closer than you would’ve been if either of you had any sense of personal space or decency left in you.
“You sure you’re good with me staying here tonight?” You snorted softly, “Of course, Wilbur. I’d rather you stay here than try to walk home alone.”
“Aww, someone cares about me,” You flushed a bit, leaning your head against him, “Maybe I do. What about it, hm?”
He wrapped his lanky arms around you, squeezing you, “You sap,” he placed his chin on top of your head, “God, everything you do makes me just want to kiss you more,” he admitted.
“Wait- what?” You asked, suddenly feeling incredibly sober. 
“Yeah,” he hummed, as if it was the easiest thing in the world.
You pulled out of his grasp, sighing, “You’re drunk.”
He chuckled, “You’re the drunk one here, your tolerance is far worse than mine.” You hated admitting that was true.
“Then, were you serious?”
He looked down at you, quiet while he looked over your face and coming to terms with the fact that you were not drunk enough to forget what he’d said, “Yes.”
You reached forward, taking his hands, “Can I… kiss you?”
He nodded quickly, pulling one hand free to rest on your cheek. You pulled him in the rest of the way, kissing him slowly. He tasted sweet, like strawberry liquor and smoke, and it felt like a consequence you’d gladly pay for.
Months went by. Wilbur was always with you, even if you and him hadn’t set an official title to your relationship. You went from autumn air, dancing in the moonlight on your room, wearing his jacket to classes, playing games, the rains of spring, opening windows for the summer air, all to end up here. Graduation had passed a few weeks ago. Wilbur was staying in town, he’d already found a job. You were between two. There was one in town and one pretty far away.
The only thing keeping you from choosing the one where you’d get to stay here, where you’ve lived and loved, was that you didn’t know where you stood with Wilbur. With everything that you two have been through, you still didn’t have an official label. And you kept meaning to talk about it, but you kept putting it off out of worries and concerns. You thought he was leading you on. You knew why you hadn’t talked about it, but why hadn’t he.
It felt selfish to think that, communication was a two-way street after all, but you just could’nt help your own anxieties sometimes. 
So instead of jumping into his arms, you jumped to conclusions. That he was leading you on, that he wasn’t serious about this. So, you planned on leaving. 
You packed a bunch of your things, getting in your car and starting to drive off, without a goodbye. You hadn’t even made a decision on the jobs either, but you were just going to head home for now.
You were about ten minutes out when Wilbur called. You almost didn’t answer. 
“Hello?”
“Hey, love, where are you? I just showed up to your place and you’re gone.”
“I’m leaving, Wilbur.”
He laughed, at first, “Yeah, yeah.” When you didn’t joke with him, he’d gotten far more serious, “What do you mean?”
“I’m just leaving.” “Without saying goodbye?” You never would’ve left if you had. You aimed for bitterness in your words, some part of you almost wanting to start a fight. “Like you’d care much.”
“Darling, why wouldn’t I care?”
“Why did you never say we were dating?”
He was silent, “Wait, is that what this is about? I- I wanted to talk to you about it, but I just panicked, darling. I-”
He paused, seriously considering what he was going to say next, “Darling, I love you. And if you come back now, I promise you, you will never wonder again, because it is within my full intentions to make sure the entire world knows exactly how you are mine.”
“I-I love you too,” you responded quickly. You’d never turned around faster.
That night, you and him sat on the roof, and finally solidified everything you were. You finally selected your job in town, and you couldn’t help but see Wilbur in the city you looked at from that rooftop.
“Look at that,” Wilbur hummed, staring up at your apartment building.
You held his hand tightly, looking up, “Oh, yeah. It’s almost weird to look at.” You smiled. 
He stood behind you, wrapping his arms around your waist. You had moved out a year ago now. You and Wilbur found a nice place to live together, and you had been living together since. It was a worthy move, but it still felt weird to look up at your old apartment. 
He nodded, “God, do you remember the first time I cooked for you?”
You laughed, “Yeah, it was our first official date. I had to open all the windows to get the smell of burning out.”
“It was a cleansing fire, I think.” “You would think that,” you laughed louder, leaning into him, “It was good though. A new beginning of sorts.”
“Especially for several of your pans,” he snickered, kissing your cheek softly. 
You chuckled, nodding, “Some of them definitely needed it.” You smiled, sighing softly.
You couldn’t say it outloud, you didn’t want to make Wilbur worried. You just knew that if any residual fears you had about Wilbur leaving you proved true, you’d never be able to walk here again, the entire apartment a reflection of your relationship.

But... What was the ending?? You gotta tell us the ending you came up with, I got invested in your time traveling kids!
LOL alright. 🥹 i’ll tell u BUT‼️ we’re gonna pretend it’s an x reader bc it’s. easier. LOL. 🥹🥹🥹
you don’t know this, ofc, but the kids are worried that their being there—with you, their age—has ruined everything. that maybe they ended up here to make sure you and their father happened, to make sure they end up existing. but it’s a disaster; their father (and he is their father, they’re sure of it, he makes the same ugly face when he’s trying to decide if something or someone is worth responding to) has no interest in dating, or you. and while this version of you (before them, before you grow into the adult they know) romanticises everything, even you can’t deny there’s anything more to his disinterest but disinterest. maybe he like, snickered once when you turned around too fast at the front of the class and banged your knee (painful) but beyond laughing kinda meanly there’s just—there’s no in.
“is there someone else?” your daughter asks, worried.
your son swats her away; they’re huddled together near one of the empty classrooms. everyone already thinks they’re weirdoes, because they’re so clueless about the things the people are into, or watch or listen or know. everyone thinks they’re just codependent homeschoolers but it’s still annoying.
“i don’t think so,” your son says, tapping his foot as he frowns. it’s a habit he’s picked up from you, your impatience for standing still. “he just kinda talks like everyone here is an idiot.”
“glad he hasn’t changed, then,” your daughter says tightly.
they know the story. their dad walks home with you one day, and then the day after, and then the day after that and then eventually you spend a saturday together, where on the walk home you end up jumping a fence and lingering, until the late dusk, when your mother—their grandmother—calls you, furious. your kids have tried everything. getting the two of you to walk the same way home, making that saturday happen by inviting you both out and trying to abandon you, much to your confusion—everything! hyping you up to each other, learning one another’s favourite bands and artists, suggesting it to the other. but it’s having the opposite effect. their father now sees you, in the courtyard at lunch, and immediately turns around. you walk into the library during study and he’s the only one there—leaving you to hide in the aisles, too embarrassed by their interference to face him.
the worst of it happens at a school function. your daughter, who’s come to know you as someone her age, someone dreamy and romantic who reads grandma’s romance novels, gets it into her head maybe, dressed up and in the low lighting of this stupid school thing, that things will change. will slip into place, just like those novels.
(it doesn’t; your son goes along with it because he’s desperate, because when he wakes up now it takes a moment for him to realise parts of him are slowly fading, that he now needs to concentrate to actively be apart of this world even as he and his sister are changing things, for the worst. but the night is a disaster. he convinces his anti-social father—a boy his age, stubborn still like the man who will hold firm with his decisions, in the future—to go, while you and your daughter arrive, and when you two are pushed together the disgust on his face is enough to stop you all in your tracks.
“why do you keep doing this?” he asks your son. his son, who doesn’t have an answer.
“leave me alone!” he says, glaring at you as he does. the betrayal you look at your son and daughter with, afterwards, is the worst feeling they’ve ever felt.
“i don’t get it,” you say, your eyes shiny with the embarrassment. “please stop it.”)
they concede defeat. its making you all miserable. their father won’t talk to your son, now, and while you’re polite you’re awkward. but then something happens—whether it’s them trying to force the future and failing, or just the end of their time here, your son collapses. your daughter races to you, the instinctive, knee-jerk reaction for her mother to fix things never leaving her, no matter the version of you you are—and when the pair of you get there, out of breath, it’s their father who’s kneeling beside him, his brow furrowed in concern as your son fades, for just a moment.
(“i’m sorry,” the boy says, to him and to you and to his sister. “i’m sorry.”
his father’s worried, now, every inch his age. “you’re fine!” he says, though he has no idea what’s going on and that frightens him. “hey, you’re okay.”
his sister is crying noisy tears; you’re holding her hand, frightened yourself and then the boy before you fades again, translucent like a ghost as the girl next to you startles, afraid.
“i’m— ” you think he’s going to say he’s sorry, again, but instead he whispers, “i’m afraid.”
he’s looking at you as he says it. the boy next to him grabs his shirt, his hand, tightly, like he can hold him back from the fear.
(it doesn’t work. he disappears and the girl next to you screams.)
(you and their father become closer, after witnessing that. the girl—your daughter—turns mute, thrown into a despair that you can’t help her out of it. you and your classmate—the boy they keep trying to set you up with—try to find out what you can, go to where they were staying (a motel? someone older who’ll be in their future who took their story at face value, because they saw a pair of scared kids who needed help?) and piece together an idea of the truth: they have things you’ve never seen before. dead technology that’s the advancement of stuff you have now.
“are they aliens?” you ask him, one day at lunch. you’ve taken to sitting together, trying to puzzle out what the fuck you saw. everyone else, who’s been watching the mess caused around you, just shrugs this off as a result of it.
“that’s stupid,” your classmate says. “but whatever they are…” he trails off, and you know he’s thinking of the boy’s big, shinning eyes as he choked out his apologies.
“is he dead?” you ask, quietly.
his mouth thins, eyes meeting yours and you can feel yours tremble, in answer.)
anyways. maybe the girl—your daughter—comes back to herself when she realises she’s starting to disappear too. she freaks out, and you freak out in turn because you don’t understand and then she disappears and you are devastated. you don’t understand. you couldn’t help and now they’re both gone and you don’t care what he said, maybe they were aliens—
their faux-guardian, who’s heard and learnt enough of the truth, is heavy with it. they tell you and your classmate both that sometimes things happen, that you can’t fix everything for everyone. that the best you both can do is live your lives.
you are summarily dismissed. and your classmate walks you home. you’re crying; he’s shellshocked. there’s safety in numbers.
(he walks you home again the next day. and the day after that. and the day after that and then one saturday you spend the day together. he tells you he knows a place, and you jump a fence and spend the afternoon in the shade and the golden green isolation of a forested creek, as you both talk out your final theories.
—somewhere in the future, your son wakes up in his bed, whole and safe, with a gasp.)

「 bruised body, broken heart 」
gareth emerson x fem reader
summary: your best friend gets worried, and rightfully so, when you ignore him the day after you have a date with someone else.
requested: yes
word count: 1.7k
warnings: implied jealousy, mentions of physical assault, mentions of bruising, crying, worried gareth & hellfire, brief mention of hospital visits
a/n: uhm...so i got a little carried away with this. it was supposed to be 700 words or less, and its obviously not. i think it's pretty cute though, & it was extremely fun writing for a different character than who i normally do. quick note: the nickname i use for him i've been pronouncing as 'gair' - kind of like how you'd say gary, but without the 'y.' anyways, i hope you enjoy this!! Xx
p.s. if anyone wants to talk about this fic with me pls do bc it gave me so many thoughts
Tumblr media
“Have fun on your date. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
With Gareth's words echoing around your head, you can’t help but wince and curl in even further on yourself as you sit on the floor of your bathroom. You sure had a lot of fun. That is if getting ambushed by said date and his douchey friends can be considered fun.
You should have known that someone like Ryan James wouldn’t have asked you out on a date and seriously meant it. Yet you let your hope delude you, and you are certainly paying for it.
There’s no way you can show up to school all bruised like this, but there’s also no way your parents are going to let you stay home. Not when they didn’t know about your date and won’t know about how shitty it was.
Gareth is going to lose it when he sees what happened. That thought alone is enough to make your heart ache with guilt.  He’s your best friend, has been for nearly your entire lives, and he didn’t want you to go. He didn’t want you going on that date and you ignored him. 
You should have just listened to him. Surely he had a better idea of what they were planning than you did.
~.~
Gareth hasn’t been able to sit still at all today. Not when he’s been worried about you from the moment he got to school.
You would always greet him with a smile and tight hug at your locker before first period. It was just something you did, but you were nowhere to be seen today. 
It’s bad enough that he doesn’t share any classes with you, but his anxiety only skyrocketed when you failed to show up for lunch as well. He had asked the guys, of course, if they had seen you, but he was slightly hoping they would all say no.
Although the thought of you not being at school at all worried him, it didn’t worry him nearly as much as the thought of you avoiding him which is what his brain jumped to when Jeff said that he’d seen you in the few classes the two of you share. 
“Well is she okay? It’s not normal for her to ignore me.” He had asked, his heart racing and sinking to his stomach all at the same time.
“As far as I could tell.”
While Jeff’s vague reassurance helped slightly, Gareth still couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. You don’t ignore him. Not for anything, so something has to be wrong. He just needs to figure out what.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t take him long to figure out. Not when you hurriedly walk into the club room right at 3:15 for tonight’s campaign, sporting a black eye.
“Oh my god! What happened to you?” Gareth exclaims, not hesitating even a second to cling to your side.
“I’m fine, Gar. Please.”
“Please what, y/n? I haven’t seen you all day, and now you try to sneak into the club with a black eye? What happened?” 
“Gareth.” Eddie sighs, trying to get his friend to calm down. 
It’s obvious how he feels about you, and that he’s worried, but his demanding tone isn’t going to help anything. 
“Calm down, man. You don’t need to interrogate her.”
“Calm down?! Just look at her, Eddie! She’s covered in bruises, and you’re telling me to calm down?”
“Gareth, please. I’m fine, I promise.” You beg, already uncomfortable with how much of a scene he’s created.
“You’re not, and we both know it. You didn’t suddenly get into a fight, did you?”
Shaking your head, you really hope he’ll drop the topic. You knew he’d be upset, but you were hoping you could hide it long enough to get through hellfire.
“Then what happened?”
“It wasn’t your date was it?” He questions, voice softer than it had been, however when you fail to respond any, he starts to get upset again.
“Y/n, please tell me it wasn’t your date that did this to you.”
You can feel all the guys’ eyes on you which only makes you curl in on yourself again. With being the only girl in the club, all of the boys have become rather protective of you. Hearing that a date did this to you? None of them can blame Gareth for his boiling blood.
“N-not just him,” you mumble before your thoughts start tumbling out of your mouth without you even realizing what you’re saying.
“…but it was my own fault for even going on the stupid date and I’m sorry! I’m sorry.”
At your outburst, Gareth finds himself stunned, expression shifting from bubbling anger to confusion. You’re sorry? Why would you be sorry?
That’s when the reality of the situation settles in his mind - you went on your date last night and he, and apparently others, attacked you. They attacked and hurt you. 
“Y/n. Hey, it’s okay. It’s okay, peanut. Why’re you sorry?” He questions, tenderly holding your arms as he shifts into comforting mode.
Although he wants to beat the living shit out of the guys that hurt you, that’s not what he needs to worry about right now. Not when you’ve got tears falling over your cheeks and you struggle to catch your breath.
“What do you have to be sorry for, peanut?”
“You…You didn’t want me going o-on the date. I-I should have listened, Gar.” 
“Hey. Hey, I don’t care about that anymore, y/n. Just wanna know you’re okay, peanut.”
“Are you okay?” He reiterates after a moment of you catching your breath and sniffling.
All of the guys watch with bated breaths as you shake your head, your bottom lip pouted out as you refuse to make eye contact with anyone. Gareth is still carefully holding you by your biceps, keeping you from turning away from him, but he desperately wants you to look at him.
“You’re not okay?”
“I hurt…a lot.” You sigh, beginning to fidget with your fingers.
“Where?”
“Everywhere...I really didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. Hurt too much.” 
“Then why did you, babe?” He questions, not even registering the pet name that slipped from his lips.
He’s too worried about you right now that he's not thinking straight, and the rest of the guys know it. You don’t, but they certainly do.
“You know my parents wouldn’t let me stay home unless I was actually dying.” You nearly whine, being too tired and sore to care. 
The only thing you want to do right now is lay down somewhere comfy and let Gareth hold you, even if you aren’t super physical with each other on any normal day.
“Yeah, I know. Do they even know about this, peanut?” 
As he watches you shake your head, he can’t help but let out a heavy sigh. You are going to be the death of him one of these days, he’s sure of it. However, he’s pretty sure he signed up for that risk the moment he became friends with you - long before he ever started to fall for you. 
“Where else are you bruised? Can you show me? Need to know whether or not we need to make a detour to the hospital.” He teases, trying to make you feel less uncomfortable. 
“Might not be a bad idea, Gar. They were…they weren’t too nice.” 
“Yeah?”
“Mhm. Th-this one hurts the most.” You admit, placing a hand over the right side of your torso.”
“Can I see?” Gareth questions, voice soft as he reaches for the hem of your shirt.
At his question you finally look up, glancing around the room before settling on his face. He can’t help but notice how panicked you looked, and he worries just how bad it is. 
Although nervous, you eventually give him a short, soft nod. If anyone needs to check it out, you’d rather it be Gareth. You know he’ll be careful to not hurt you any more than you are.
You feel him slide his hand over your hip, palm warm against your bare skin as he tucks his fingers under the hem of your shirt. From there, he lets his palm just barely trail over your skin as he lifts the material, revealing your side to the group.
“Jesus Christ.”
“Shit!”
“I’m gonna-“
Even though the guys are voicing their own shock, all you focus on is Gareth’s. With him finally focused on something other than your face, you find yourself studying his.
For the first time since entering the room you take notice of just how worried he is, and you can’t help how your heart aches. Aside from worry, though, you can see a plethora of other emotions swirling in his eyes - anger, hurt, softness. 
“Y/n…peanut. This, this isn’t good.” Gareth comments, voice soft even though you would’ve expected him to shout some expletive like the others.
Nodding, you can’t help the small hitch of your breath as he gently caresses the purple center of the bruise with his thumb.
“Gareth…take her to the hospital. Get her looked at.” Eddie comments, drawing the boy’s attention from your marred side.
“Yeah. Yeah, okay. You guys…?”
“We’ll hold off on the campaign until next week. This is more important.” 
“Okay. Uh, thank you.” Gareth thanks, sending Eddie a curt nod before turning back to you.
“Let’s go, yeah? We’ll make sure nothing’s too banged up, okay?”
There’s no stopping the small smile that grows on your lips as you nod, tangling your arms out in front of you as he places a hand to your hip.
He is so going to hurt whoever did this to you, but they better hope you’re not too hurt aside from the way-too-big bruises. If there’s anything seriously wrong, there’s a very good chance they’ll be making a trip to the hospital as well.
No one is going to hurt you like this - on top of toying with your emotions - and get away with it. He’s not going to let that happen. Not when you mean everything in the world to him.

📖 and ♥ for the ask meme?
thank you for asking!!!
📖"what has surprised you about your WIPs?"
hmmmmmmmm idk. maybe lately i feel like i’ve been coming up with a lot of jonathan focused fic ideas. a lot of them aren’t really like Ideas™️ worthy enough of being a google doc WIP but still. anyway it’s surprising bc i like jonathan of course but out of the main teens he is not my favorite. in fact my ranking would probably go steve > nancy > robin > jonathan. and yet!!!! many jonathan ideas lately
❤️"what are your favorite scenes from your WIPs?"
ok so I had three!!!! one is from a Stonathan WIP and the other is from a Robin pov stoncy + rovickie + platonic stobin WIP but I will put them under the cut so it doesn’t get too long
sooooo for context and without giving too much away i have a stonathan WIP where steve is a ghost that only jonathan can see and near the end they’re trying to get him back from the upside down which is where he died bc they think they can bring him back and jonathan volunteers to do it alone. i actually have no idea how they’re going to figure this out or how they’ll bring him back when he’s theoretically dead!!!! hopefully one day i’ll figure it out. anyway here’s the scene:
But when Jonathan opens the door, he finds Nancy and Robin behind it.
“We’re coming with you,” Robin says without preamble.
Jonathan sighs. “Robin — ”
“He’s my best friend,” Robin says, and Jonathan’s mouth snaps shut at the tremor in her voice. “He’s the most important person in the fucking world to me, so if there’s even the slightest chance he’s alive down there then, yeah, I’m going.”
Jonathan blinks, then slowly looks to Nancy.
“I’m going, too,” she adds, and when Jonathan opens his mouth to protest, she continues, “Jonathan, you’ve never even been to the Upside Down. Me and Robin have. Twice. Actually, it’s been three times for me, and I survived all of them. If anything, you need my help.”
Jonathan sighs again. “Guys — ”
“No, don’t even think about saying something like — like — like it’s too dangerous, or whatever,” Robin says. “So what? You think you get to be the one to sacrifice your safety for Steve all because he was just some ghostly shadow hanging over your shoulder for a couple of weeks?”
“Robin — ”
“Byers,” Robin cuts in. “I’m fucking going, alright?”
Jonathan lets out a heavy breath, and then, finally, says, “Alright.”
“And don’t think that I won’t — ”
“Robin, I said okay!”
Robin’s mouth snaps shut.
Nancy raises her eyebrows. “Okay?” She repeats.
“Yeah,” Jonathan says. Robin blinks, and Nancy’s eyebrows arch higher. “I mean, I know I should try to stop you, but…” He trails off, then admits, selfishly, “I really don’t want to do this alone.”
and then the next two are from the robin pov part two of you can hear it in the silence. the first scene takes place right after nancy calls steve about their “date”, and then steve promptly calls robin back home panicking and freaking out about said “date.” the second scene is a bit later when steve, nancy, and jonathan are already “dating”:
“Who was that on the phone?” Her mom asks as Robin returns to her seat at the kitchen table.
“Steve,” Robin answers before taking a bite of her mashed potatoes.
Her mom snorts fondly. “Course it was.” She takes a bite of mashed potatoes, too, then pauses. “Rob…are you sure you two aren’t — ”
Robin sighs. “Mom. Yes, I’m sure.”
She raises her hands in defense. “Okay, okay. Just checking. Again.”
“We’re just friends,” Robin says for the millionth time. Then she adds, for proof, “Actually, he was calling me to tell me he’s going on a date this week.”
Her mom’s eyebrows arch. “Oh? Who’s the lucky lady?”
Robin shifts in her seat. “Oh, uh. Just…one of our friends.”
“And how about you, Robbie?” Her dad asks. “Meet somebody nice up in Chicago yet?”
And the thing is — Robin likes her parents. Her dad is quiet, if a little absent-minded, and her mom isn’t her best friend the way some of the girls in her classes gush about. But they’re both good people. They give a dollar to homeless people when they pass them in the city, they recycle. They didn’t even vote for Reagan — although that’s mainly because they didn’t vote, period. Since Robin was a kid, her parents have always been the kind of people who claim they hate politics, who never watch the news because it’s too depressing.
But her parents are good people, and Robin likes them. She loves them, and what’s more, they love her, too. She knows that. She’s never had to question that.
And she’s terrified that one day she will.
So Robin just says, “Nope, not yet,” forces a smile, and takes another bite of mashed potatoes.
“So, how are things with Nance and Jonathan?” Robin asks.
Steve smiles. “Really good.” He opens his mouth to say more, then snaps it shut, as though he’s suddenly embarrassed.
Robin nudges him with her foot. “What?”
Steve fiddles with the throw pillow in his lap for a moment. “I think I love them,” he admits.
Robin feels herself start to smile. “Yeah?”
Steve glances up and nods. He’s starting to smile, too. “Yeah. God, so much. It’s kind of embarrassing, actually.”
“Why’s that embarrassing?”
“I don’t know.” Steve sighs, rubbing the back of his neck. “I mean, I’ve been a little in love with them since sophomore year? So — it just feels like a lot, I guess.”
“Hey,” Robin says sternly. “Your feelings are not a lot.”
“I didn’t mean it like that, I just meant, like…” Steve trails off. “I don’t know, it feels intense. I just feel so…full of it, sometimes. Like I’m going to explode, or something crazy, and I’ve never — I mean, even when I was dating Nancy…well, I was in love with her, obviously, but I guess with everything going on…even then, it never felt like this.” He laughs a little, sounding embarrassed. “I don’t know. I guess that sounds really lame, but I — it’s like I’ve never felt this happy.”
“Steve,” Robin says softly. “That’s amazing.”
Steve makes a face, ducking his head to fiddle with the throw pillow again.
“Seriously, I mean it,” Robin says. “You should tell them.”

HI BESTIEEEE
I’m ab to go to sleep🥲 i’m gna miss the sleepover BUT don’t have too much fun. i’m keeping an eye open👀👀👀 (kidding pls do) (i’ll be reading it all like my morning newspaper tmr xoxox) (so sad im missing it tho bc i’ve missed u :(.
boy is….🤭 super cute. i saw him again today
we go to the same uni but we don’t have any classes together. i see him every day at the library. we’re always there super early and the only ones left who stay right until it closes bc i learned we both take a lot of classes rn.
he’s always super tired in the mornings & i don’t think he’s much of a korning person so he doesn’t really speak much as we’re waiting for it to open (we always get there at 6am bc u have to be early for the good seats) but i always get that head nod thing guys do
he doesn’t give me any vibes that he likes me but i’m crushing hard. BUT today there might’ve been something? (warning i yapped a little sorry)
we literally never speak during the day. we’re always studying and he doesn’t seem to care what i do, except today i started packing up way earlier than usual to leave and his head perked up and asked if i was leaving and bro when i tell you my heart started BEATINFJFJFJDJDDJ bc we really don’t speak much. he could’ve just been curious but my delusional ass was like ‘oh… he…. cares if i stay?’🤭
my friend usually picks me up bc she has a job on campus which finishes around the time the library closes. but she had today off bc it’s good friday and i didn’t wanna walk alone late bc it’s super dark here. he asked where i live and it’s a similar route to his so he said he could walk with me. i tried to play it so cool but i was SCREAMINGFFF inside JDHDJDJDJD and we spoke a lot for the first proper time walking home and AHDHDJSJ i liked everything i learned ab him. and he always looks so AGDHDBDND good.

Hello again! 🧑🏻‍🎄
I hope you had a wonderful Halloween full of candy and fun! I ended up not doing anything much beyond dressing in black and orange at work bc I was so tired by the time I got home, but I did do a little more prepping before midnight kicked off and I started writing your fic for nanowrimo! Two days ago while writing, despite following the outline, Feyre and Rhys still managed to take control and change something right at the beginning😔 but honestly I love it and how it’ll enhance some of the plot and I hope you will too!
Any plans this coming week? I’m flying to visit a friend tomorrow night so will be busy probably until late next week, but I’ll still be tapping away those keys as best I can in my down hours.
Also - I know it’s a bit late but re the favorite fic post - i just adore Hot Chocolate with Cinnamon! Feyre drawing those cute little puns makes me smile so much☺️ and for the wip post feysand fake dating au?👀
And for your first snippet, a line I literally wrote five minutes ago:
“I’ll trip you,” she admitted blatantly. “If a wolf decides to show its face to us? I don’t have to outrun it. I’ll just have to outrun you.”
And Rhys just laughed at that, loud and carefree, either unaware or unbothered by the looks it earned from the other townspeople out and about on market day.
Have a great week!!!
Hi Santa!! I have had so much Halloween candy the past couple weeks, it's been great haha. My actual Halloween was pretty uneventful, I dressed up and went out with a few friends!
I personally always love it when the characters run away with the story, it's usually when I end up getting most inspired and writing in big streaks.
Hot Chocolate Cinnamon is one of my older favorites! One of the few times I don't make anyone suffer 😅I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I want to keep writing more aus like that in the future :)
I'm having so much fun with the fake dating AU! I'm forcing myself not to post it until I have the majority done because I'm notorious for leaving multichapters unfinished, which is a habit I'm trying to break. The premise is that Feyre and Rhys are partners for a class project in college, and Feyre ends up needing a fake date to a work event because Tamlin will be there...and the whole thing goes from there! Here's a little snippet for fun :)
-
Feyre narrowed her brow. “This better not be some elaborate scheme to sleep with me, Rhysand.”  
“It’s not, and I’m a little offended that you think so little of me.”
“What then? You’re just really bored? Between the two of us, I’m the one who was home alone last Friday night.”
“I already told you, I can’t have you slacking on our group project! Is that not a good enough reason?”
Hardly, Feyre thought, but bit back the remark.
He was helping her, after all.
-
I hope you have a great flight and a great time with your friend! Last week I got to see some friends I haven't seen in forever.
Omg this snippet has me so excited. Soft/domestic vibes? Chef's kiss!! Thank you for sharing!!
I hope you are doing well, have a fantastic week!

Do you have any tips to get into ceramics? I've been thinking of trying it but I have no idea where to start and some guides are so overwhelming :( Like what clay & paint do you use? Do you need a special surface or other materials for it? (If it's alright to ask! No presh to answer btw)
Your works are so lovely, I'm always looking forward to what you make next! 💗
hi beloved. my first advice usually is to find a pottery studio where you can take classes... a teacher’s guidance + every material you need available to you will make things way easier for you in the beginning. but assuming that you’re trying to learn by yourself at home because you can’t take classes right now for your own reasons... i’ll try to give you the most basic guide on ceramics here, hopefully it will clear a few questions you might have? btw i feel the need to point out that i only started making ceramics less than a year ago, so there’s still a looooot that i don’t know yet. technicalities like firing & glazes i’m a bit ignorant of, so i won’t be covering much of that :s again, this is very basic! i’m simplifying it just to help you feel less overwhelmed c: <3
1. ok first thing first, you asked about the surface. at home i placed a sheet of unvarnished wood over my table & that’s where i do all my pottery work. of course there are many other options, you can read more about this topic here
2. there’s a few different options for clay, differents colors & types that you might like more. it’s explained perfectly on this video :^) i personally use white stoneware.
3. you need to wedge your clay!!! this is crucial. do it on the surface you picked from #1. here’s a very good tutorial.
4. ok now you can build whatever you want!
• you take your clay (you can use a wire to cut it from the big block of clay), wedge it, & start your work. i always have a small bucket of water & a small sponge with me when i’m working. use a humid sponge to smooth the clay if needed.
• i usually leave it at a shelf to dry a bit for a day or two, then it’s a bit more hard & you can’t make many changes (as in, adding new stuff to it) but it’s a good moment to carve it a bit more if necessary & smooth it out with the humid sponge. sculpt the little details etc. i recommend buying a tool set like this, it’ll make your job easier for this part
5. firing. like a said before i’m still not very familiar with the technicalities since i don’t own a kiln & my teachers are the ones handling that part :p but what you need to know is that your piece will need to be fired twice in order to become actual ceramic. your clay needs to be dry to go into the kiln. the first firing is called bisque. after that, you need to glaze your piece & then fire it a second time. the glaze will basically turn you work glass-like & food safe. here’s a very informative guide on firing <-
6. there’s are many (many!!) different colors & types of glaze. you can go to the amaco website & look at their charts just so you can have an idea. you can use either colored glazes or a transparent one. underglazes are used to ‘draw’ on & decorate you work. i personally use underglaze to paint before bisque firing bc i feel like the colors looks less faded that way. after bisque, i simply retouch little areas if necessary before applying the transparent glaze over it. you can use the underglaze only after bisque as well. there’s also a bunch of underglaze transfer sheets on etsy that looks super cool & fun to try! one thing you’ll notice about both glazes & underglazes is that the colors do not look nearly the same before & after firing. the colors look rather dull & opaque, but they’ll be vibrant after firing. it’s my favorite surprise heh
ok i think that’s it! this is obviously super SUPER basic, there’s so much little details that you’ll eventually learn but i just wanted to help you situate yourself a bit because i understand how overwhelming it can be when you’re learning something from scratch & alone. my tip is: join facebook groups for pottery, there are SO many & people are always happy to help if you have any questions. i also recommend that you go buy your materials in person if possible instead of online, surely the worker helping you will be able to guide you better on the many products that are out there & answer the questions you might have about it. & about the kiln, most pottery studios offer their kiln for people that aren’t students. the one i go to price it based on the total weight of the pieces i bring.
hopefully that was helpful! 🥰🙏

Jily Regency fic idea
after getting into regency romance over the holidays, I outlined a jily fic in my notes but didn’t use any names just in case someone finds it in my notes 😂
hopefully one day I’ll be brave enough to write it
.
Regency- he’s titled, and she’s new money merchant class
But they meet abroad and there they are just “regular” people to each other , the family history is unknown to the other person 
Meet abroad in Italy, where they both speak Italian and use only Italian names, romance starts, he gifts her a bracelet,
misscominicatoon bc a letter from his mom says he needs to come home and get married but really he had business w dad and his mom wasn’t serious about marriage/ only teasing …. But she reads the letter by accident bc it was left out and is heart broke
MISCOMMUNICATION trope 
She leaves without saying goodbye, the family is packed up and gone, he cannot find her/ some other dramatic parting 
1- 2 years later, back in England 
Maybe a year or two passes, it’s the season , he’s definitely flirting with other women
he notices  sees someone with *the* bracelet, someone’s husband won it at for her  a card house
He knows it was hers, goes to the card house, trying to trace the steps, He cannot find her, only knows her by her Italian name 
Masquerade ball, they meet, speaking in English so they sound different, they realize it’s the other somehow, and she is PO bc it’s like “oh so you’re interested bc I have money but when I was just a commoner it wasn’t enough for you”
And he’s like “No Whaf— tries to explain but she doesn’t believe him”
He tries to win her back, she has to play nice in society bc of his status and also so it rubs off on her sister who married a lower ranking noble/ not as popular standing
And she wants to look out for her sister
Something happens and her reputation is at stake of being ruined for being caught with him alone in a garden or something 
And he asks if they can get married even though she’ll hate him to save her reputation 
And she shouts “I don’t have to marry you and I don’t care about my damn reputation, I’ll leave this country  for good and marry someone without a title who actually cares”
And her sister basically begs her to marry him because sisters  reputation will be scared from the occurrence
FORCED MARRIAGE TROPE
during the marriage preparation she cannot even stand to be with him alone / let’s it known that she’s only doing it for her sister / does not want to hear it 
.
She wants to let him in but is so heartbroken about the miscommunication situation that happened a couple years earlier;
Something like “it’s very convenient for you to tell me this now”
Somehow he needs to find letters that he wrote his friend to prove that he was in love with her; luckily his friend saves all of those letters so she  can read first hand 
.
There’s a lot of drama since he’s marrying someone outside of the nobility classes into “new money” and also the threat of them being discovered and her doing it purposely to force his hand, and he basically has to defend her to everyone
They get married
And they do eventually leave to travel bc both love seeing the world and don’t care for the gossipers

ok so i know this is weird 😭, but firstly, i am that stephanie anon and i’m sending you this so you don’t feel pressured to answer the other ask i sent a while ago when it’s just me, cause i know it’s a lottttt to ask someone. having an oc is like a big jumbled mess of info sometimes.
you are by no means obligated to even acknowledge this message, i just had to let you know because i don’t want it hanging over you (and i know you have a lot going on!) cause you are so nice and i bet you get a lot of messages. i know things can get overwhelming and it causes one to shut down. mostly, this was just an extended version of me praising your oc! cause you really do have a talent! :)
and like i said, i know this is weird, but i also have an rdr2 oc who is part of the gang and i have been thinking a lot about how her dynamic with steph would be (without assuming too much about her). it’s like i’m headcanoning with a canon character lol. so i was like, hmm i’ll ask because i’d love to know more about her.
anyway, thank you for your time and your lovely work. you’re truly one of my favorite creators in the rdr fandom.
Tumblr media
I just want you to know I started working on that ask, I just didn't have like a single minute to finish it. My whole year was screwed over this summer with uni and now I have to work a part-time job as an intern every day to get a degree and then attend all of my classes. I get home at like 8pm and then I go to my friends' house to work on a ux/ui project that's such a monster I cried over it every week. I barely had time to sleep, let alone do anything that I enjoy, and I guess I got into a bit of a depressive loop I couldn't get out of yet.
I don't want to dump this on you, I just wanted you to know your asks were the sweetest thing I got all year and I appreciate them dearly, I just need to breathe first and read over a bunch of notes I carelessly scribbled into my phone about Steph (bc I'm a totally collected and organized writer, ofc). So yeah, just know your few words brightened so many of my days!!💗
(but also OMG WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS, like Steph is such an important oc of mine, I never thought others would be curious about her <3333)

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALINAAA 🎉
BC!JK
how the hell does he know you go to eunwoo’s soccer games?!!! are you that obvious about your crush on him because you swore no one was paying attention to you.
when jungkook tells you that he joined the soccer team, you were honestly shocked because he’s never expressed interest in the sport. he was more so interested in fooling around with other girls and picking on you yet here he is bragging to you that he’s going to kick eunwoo’s butt at the tough sport and impress you.
all of this you, you, you talk is starting to give you butterflies and you don’t know whether that is a good or a bad thing because what if this all changes? you’re still thinking jungkook is going to pick on you and that this is temporary, it has to be.
“i’d love to watch you play, jungkook” you smile but when jungkook tells you to only pay attention to him, he pulls you closer to make sure his low words reach your ears.
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
nononononono this is just a phase.
he doesn’t mean this.
he’s going to double cross you, y/n and then walk all over you again.
he still thinks you’re that ugly nerd.
you ARE an ugly nerd, he’s made sure to beat that in your head and you believe it.
jungkook asks you to help him with his essay and you don’t get a chance to reply because he’s bringing up eunwoo’s girlfriend. girlfriend? GIRLFRIEND?! since when did he have a girlfriend?
if he’s hoping to hurt your feelings, his plan succeeded because you were hoping to one day impress your senior. sure, you wore a skirt to prove a point to jungkook but you were hoping it’ll make eunwoo finally notice you and you don’t physically see him until after school.
“i’ll be at the game” you say sadly “just don’t expect me to be loud. i don’t want no one to notice me-,” you’re cut off by the teacher greeting everyone and taking attendance.
“jeon jungkook? present?! wow, that’s a new record” they tease because jungkook NEVER, i repeat, NEVER attends his classes so seeing him twice is new and sitting next to you is even stranger. the teacher definitely thinks he likes you because why else would he be here?
“today, i want you all to work on your essays so get to it. if you have any questions feel free to ask me. if you desire to talk with your partner please do so quietly. get started, everyone”
you pull your creative arts binder out and since you’ve already started brainstorming, you can easily get started but you want to help jungkook too.
“you’ve got to brainstorm your ideas first so that way you can have idea what to write for your paper” you tell him “production is a really easy subject but we have to figure out the what, how, and examples of the subject” you pull your textbook about the subject and again, jungkook catches on easily.
“how the heck are you on your second paragraph already?” you joke because you still haven’t finished with your first paragraph. you’re so impressed by jungkook’s ability to catch on fast that you believe he studies at home but plays dumb to be praised.
once your arts class was over, jungkook agreed to meet with you after school to work on his essay before soccer practice while walking to the cafeteria for lunch. upon arrival, everyone is taken back and surprised to see you both side by side smiling and laughing.
“hey jungkook~” interrupts soojin “can i borrow him for a minute?”
“o-oh, uh, sure” you say before walking to a table to sit alone, forgetting to grab a fruit cup to munch on and you don’t want to be rude and interrupt their conversation.
you don’t hear what they’re saying but whatever it is, they both end up walking out of the cafeteria together and you suddenly remember jungkook mentioning ‘fucking’ soojin so maybe that’s what they went to do.
he’s bullied you, he’s screwing soojin, the reasons to not like jungkook just keep piling on and since he’s such a well-known name around the school, people begin to whisper about you.
you walk out to the school yard for some peace and quiet from your nosy schoolmates only to be met with your crush, cha eunwoo.
You’re not someone from his badge.
But he does remember your name. “Yn right?” Eunwoo walks towards you, you look really different today, “umm hi!” He is giving you his best smile.
You look so shy… and maybe a little shocked too. “ I just figured you were here alone so.. I was alone too.” he’s not sure if his words are gonna make you feel better, but… it’s only a conversation starter for him.
“pretty clothes.” Eunwoo isn’t sure why he’s saying this stuff to you. He sounds so dumb…. Out of embarrassment he just scratches the back of his neck. “Umm if you don’t mind, can I sit here with you?” He is asking for your permission, hoping that you say yes, because he has to catch practice soon.
“So… what have you been doing? Weren’t you here with jungkook? The piercing guy?”
_____
Soo Jin is annoying him a lot- he doesn’t want to fuck right now. He was having such a good time with you, but she had to come there and ruin it. “sorry babe but I don’t want to fuck right now.” She’s got him cornered in the janitors room, running her manicured hands all over his leather jacket, “I have to go.”
You must be thinking that he is such a manwhore, well, he is, and you are familiar with his nature, but still, it was quite rude of SooJin to interrupt the both of you like that, “why would you interrupt me?!” He’s trying to push her away because he’s genuinely pissed off.
“didn’t you see that I was with yn?” He’s gritting his teeth because you must be there sitting all alone by yourself-probably feeling abandoned by your bully.
He’s already made your life living hell and he doesn’t really have the best impression on you and now just when he is starting to fix everything- his fuck buddy wants his attention suddenly.
 she’s giving him her sultry eyes, but they are not really working on him, “what did I just say? You know what? I think.. I don’t need you anymore.” He finally manages to push her off of him.
“We had a good time together but I think I don’t want to do this with you anymore.” of course he doesn’t want to fuck around with her anymore because he wants to be with you instead.
Jungkook looks at her without any guilt, seeing the hurt on her face, and she seems to be clenching her jaw, “you’ll find somebody else I think we’re done here.”

just need to rant about chronic illness and women's beauty pressure. so i've made a lot of progress in the last year of overcoming a lot of beauty standards that once controlled my life. i've stopped shaving, i haven't worn makeup since like novemberish, i've made a lot of rlly good progress with disordered eating habits that were left over from when i had a binge-restrict cycle ed!! i was rlly proud of myself!! and then a couple months ago i developed severe hives and swelling. i also keep having occasional bouts of awful stomach pain and fever-like symptoms. i've seen doctors and allergists and i've done bloodwork and i even had to get a CT scan because my blood results were so concerning. no one knows what's wrong with me so they just gave me some anti-histamines that barely work and sent me on my way because i was about to leave to study in another country. and like, i'm tough i'm hardy i can deal with the occasional pain and the constant itching. but i'm now in a very hot country and the hives are everywhere and i'm so intensely self conscious about how diseased and concerning my skin looks now. it feels like it's undoing all this progress i made and wrecking my self-confidence. i paid a lot of money that i worked hard for to take classes here and i couldn't even go yesterday or today bc of how horrible i looked. it's bringing back so many insecurities and body dysmorphia im going insane and i hate hate hate beauty standards so much.
(Sorry for the late reply, been sick) I’m so sorry you’re dealing with all of that, I completely understand. I’ve partially overcome beauty standards somewhat but my hormone issues cause tons of acne, I haven’t been able to lose weight and and super self conscious of my body and I also struggle with not doing things/going places because of how I look ☹️
this is dark (tw: mom death), but honestly what helps me snap out it some is that my mom passed away at like 53 and the reality really hitting me that it is entirely possible to just get sick and die out of nowhere in the middle of your life has really stuck with me and that you have to live life because you only get this one shot. I know that’s much easier said than done, especially when you are dealing with health issues. But it sounds like you have worked so hard for this great opportunity for yourself and you owe it to yourself to complete your classes.
My advice: you have already made amazing progress overcoming these beauty standards once, so you know that you are able to. It’s a harder challenge this time, but you are already halfway up the mountain - don’t turn around! Some days I will wear oversized shirts or some concealer or something because it’s the only way I’ll get out of the house. It’s a compromise, but the end result is that I didn’t stay home because of my looks which I think is a win.
Sorry this is rambly I hope something helps. But I understand how much this situation sucks and I hate that someone else is going through it too. But you aren’t alone
