a short fyi (past fuck ups by me)
i just wanted to take a second to acknowledge that my online existence, from day 0 to pretty much the present, has revealed ways that my own behavior irl was harmful, particularly when writing PoC characters. regardless of whether or not i intended my online presence to be harmful or if my actions were intentional or a result of a misunderstanding, people were harmed by things i said. that time off i took was primarily to decolonize and deconstruct internalized ableism. i regret the ways i fucked up and am watching myself to make sure it doesn't happen ever again.
if something i did hurt you and you're seeing this, i apologize again. you didn't deserve it. but tbh i hope nobody i hurt seriously through my bumbling and self-defensiveness and white fragility does have to see this, bc i hope they have healed and moved on and forgotten me. i hope that bc i stepped back for a good long time, they had time to carry on with their enjoyment of the fandoms we had in common without me making them feel unsafe.
if you have no idea what i'm talking about, it's cool; the tldr is my writing, particularly about MCU characters of color, was informed by stereotypes and thus promoted those stereotypes. i made claims about being anti-racist while not challenging all racist concepts/behaviors i'd been raised with. there was some stuff that went down in discord/twitter dms/group messages/servers where i said some real stupid things repeating some toxic info, starting with the way i was talking about some health problems i was having. internalized ableism. that, combined with how i hadn't deconstructed my racist thoughts and actions, meant some friends cut ties with me.
and if you see me say something sus in the future, which i fucking hope i don't, call me out on it. idc if we're best friends or complete strangers, call me out on it if you've got the spoons; otherwise, tell somebody else about it and it'll probably get back to me eventually.
peace and love, my cats bob and nugget say hi,
moony

A/N: hi, my friends!!! this is a rewrite/repost and has been edited for a (hopefully) smoother, more enjoyable read. fun fact that this was one of the first Stranger Things fanfics i ever wrote. it was originally titled She Was Straight From Hell, But You Could Never Tell, and featured Eddie alongside an OC. i’ve changed it to be reader-insert, because that seems to be more in my writing wheelhouse nowadays. this fic will be multiple parts — it begins with backstory, but will eventually branch off into a universe of little smutty ficlets where Reader will corrupt virgin!Eddie as much as humanely possible.
Eddie hadn't known about the existence of his little brother until two months ago, when Al Munson showed up in the middle of the night with a small child in tow. Eddie didn't even know his dad was out of prison again, and yet here he was, in the flesh, a little boy with a mop of black curls resembling Eddie's own cradled in his leather jacket-clad arms.
Al was lucky Wayne was working or else this family reunion would have gone south fast.
While Wayne wasn't Al's biggest fan, Al was Eddie's dad, and Eddie would always hold onto as many moments with his father as he could get, no matter how sparse, and no matter how much of a self-serving piece of shit asshole Al Munson truly was.
But Eddie didn’t see it like that. Eddie saw it like this: His dad lived a hard life. His dad struggled with addictions. His dad lost a wife, just as Eddie had lost a mother. His dad tried his best with what he had.
Deep down, Eddie knew these were all just sorry excuses, but he kept that truth tucked away, not wanting to deal with the reality that Al truly only cared about himself.
He already had one dead parent. If he cut his dad out of his life, he’d basically have two.
"When'd you get out?" Eddie asked, stepping aside so Al could enter. His eyes followed the child, brows furrowed. The trailer was always Al's first stop on his freedom tour and the older man had always brought some sort of baggage along with him -- never a little kid, though. What the hell kind of trouble had his dad gotten into this time?
"Few days ago," Al replied, heading for the living room. He placed the sleeping child down on the worn sofa, then straightened and faced Eddie. "Listen, son, you gotta do me a favor. I'm not out long this time. I might've robbed an ATM or two last night. I'm kinda on the lam."
Al didn’t even have the decency to look sheepish at his wrongdoing.
Eddie was used to this. Even when Al was a free man, he was never a free man for long. He didn't think his dad knew how to coexist among non-inmate citizens. Eddie didn't think his dad even wanted to. Prison was a creature comfort for the elder Munson. Eddie wasn't necessarily mad at that fact. He was happy when Al was locked up, because then at least he knew where his dad was. Otherwise, Eddie worried his father would eventually get himself into a situation he wouldn't be able to get out of, and Eddie would really never see him again.
Eddie was also used to Al showing up after months and months, sometimes even years and years, such as now, always asking for favors.
"Who is that?" Eddie asked, pointing towards the couch, not being able to ignore the other human in the room any longer.
"Yeah, that's kinda what I need your help with.” Al rubbed at the back of his neck. "Well, no way to do this other than to just say it. That there's your little brother, Eddie. His name's Oliver. And I need you and Wayne to look after him while I'm gone."
"My... what..." Eddie stammered, face scrunching up. He expected Al to burst out laughing and admit he was just fucking around, and that this tiny sleeping stranger was actually just the kid of a fellow convict buddy. Maybe it was said convict buddy’s turn to rob ATMs tonight, leaving Al the babysitter. Irresponsible. Unlikely. And, turns out, untrue.
With Al's silence, Eddie knew his dad’s admission wasn't a joke.
Eddie was beyond confused now.
"Dad, how... you've been in prison for six years!"
"Conjugal visits," Al answered with a bit of a smug shrug.
Eddie shook his head in disbelief. "What the fuck? Wayne can't afford another kid that's not even his... and I'm in school still, I can't watch him... this isn't... I don't know how..."
But Al was already making his way to the door.
"I know you'll figure it out. I can always count on you, my boy," Al prided, tone cheery as if the favor he'd just asked of Eddie was to give him a quick ride somewhere or find an old family recipe.
Al wasn't acting like he was ditching another Munson offspring off on his older brother. He was treating this like an issue of minor importance, just a little speed bump on an otherwise flat road.
Al Munson was not an upstanding person. Never had been, never would be. Because of this, Eddie shouldn't have been surprised or appalled, but here he was, standing with his mouth agape. Surprised. Appalled.
His dad was out the door with a lighthearted, "See ya 'round, son," and Eddie was left speechless in the middle of the living room.
𖤐 ֪ 𖤐 ֪ 𖤐
Wayne got over the new addition to the Munson household fairly quickly.
While he'd been livid at first, calling up all of Al's old friends he'd still had the numbers of to try and find out where his dumb shit of a younger brother was, Wayne eventually became resigned to the idea that he now had another little boy to rear and mold.
What else could he do?
Wayne took care of his kin, especially if they were innocent bystanders and had no say in being born in the first place. He'd raised Eddie, and although he knew the boy had his struggles, he didn't think he'd done too bad of a job.
Eddie never went hungry, always had clothes to wear, a bed to sleep in, and Wayne was the one who haggled Eddie's van down to a reasonable price so the boy could pay for it with his lunch box salary.
Wayne knew about the weed and the pills, but so long as Eddie stayed smart about where he was selling and who he was selling to, he didn't much mind Eddie's unconventional line of work. It helped his nephew stay somewhat social, and Wayne knew how important that would be for Eddie's future. If the boy was nothing but a lone recluse his whole life, he'd probably end up just like Al. Nobody wanted that.
Eddie was just about grown now. Sure, he was rearing twenty and still in his senior year of high school, but Wayne had an inkling that '86 would be Eddie's year.
Wayne had always thought about selling the trailer and buying an RV with retirement money once Eddie was out on his own. He wanted to travel the country for the remainder of his life.
The idea that he'd have to raise up another wild Munson for the next fifteen or so years caused a knot to form in his stomach.
Would Wayne even be around for that much longer? He may have been relatively healthy, and he was only in his mid 60's, but Wayne wasn't an idiot. He knew anything could happen at any time.
Wayne knew he needed help this time around. He figured he could count on Eddie here and there, but Eddie needed to focus on school this year if he planned on finally walking the stage. Because of this, Wayne decided to enlist the help of someone on the outside. Someone with experience.
So, he posted an ad in the Hawkins Post, looking for a full-time nanny for a five-year-old boy to start as soon as possible, and waited for a response.
𖤐 ֪ 𖤐 ֪ 𖤐
Wayne didn't have to wait long.
Two mornings following the job post, shortly after he'd returned home from work, he heard a knock on the trailer door.
When he answered, he saw a pretty young thing standing on the front stoop.
"Hi!" you greeted, then immediately began to ramble. "Are you Mr. Munson? I hope it's okay I just showed up... there wasn't a number listed, only an address, and I didn't know if you wanted me to write a response and mail it, but the ad seemed maybe a little urgent, so I thought, hey, what's the harm in just... showing... up..."
You trailed off, feeling silly for word vomiting during your first impression. He was watching you with a small smile, eyes flickering with what looked like amusement, especially as your cheeks began to color to the soft red of embarrassment.
Listing no number on the ad was intentional. He hadn't owned a rotary phone in about ten years, after having tried to cut back on bills, and he knew not just anyone would make the trek to Forest Hills for a potential job offer. He’d figured only committed applicants that wouldn't waste his time would follow through.
"I have a lot of experience," you continued on at his silence, almost as if you couldn't help it, compelled to divulge all the information you could in the first three minutes of meeting. Wayne found it endearing. "I used to babysit for three different families when I was in high school. And I have two little sisters. My mom and dad worked a lot growing up, so I spent a lot of time with them. Didn't get paid, but... I made sure they didn't die or anything..."
From their brief interaction thus far, Wayne knew he succeeded in his method of weeding out flakes. You were obviously serious about the position. He felt he was a decent judge of character, and he'd learned in life that sometimes over-explaining was synonymous with caring.
"Sorry," you said, forcing out a little laugh. "I guess I could have just introduced myself. You didn't really need to know all that." You shot your hand out, giving your name. "I'm here about the nannying gig. Um, obviously. That is, if I didn't already scare you off."
Wayne took your hand in both of his own, shaking it. He placated you with a grin. "It's a lot harder than that to scare off a Munson, sweetheart. Let's go inside and meet Olly."
𖤐 ֪ 𖤐 ֪ 𖤐
Although Oliver Munson was only five, he had a spectacular vocabulary and a limitless imagination. Wayne knew the boy was a little charmer, quite like how Eddie was when he allowed himself to be, when the teenager wasn't drowning himself in existential teenage angst and nonsense.
You fell under Olly's spell almost instantly.
And it seemed the little boy had fallen under yours as well.
Oliver didn't stop talking to you while you were there, and didn't stop talking about you after you’d left, asking when you’d be back and if next time you could take him to the trailer park's playground and maybe you two could watch G.I. Joe or He-Man together afterward.
Wayne had taken your number down before you’d left and had told you he'd be in touch soon.
Later that evening, after Eddie had gotten back from his club meeting at school, Wayne took the trip into downtown Hawkins to use the payphone and ask you if you wouldn't mind starting as early as tomorrow.

You were far from struggling for money.
Your father was a sought-after criminal prosecutor for the entirety of Indiana. Your mother was a real estate agent for high profile clientele who came from old family money; her father was CEO of a day trading business, and his father before him had been the same.
Although you likely would have never had to work a day in your life and could live a comfortable existence off of inheritance alone, handouts and the humdrum of an All-Play-and-No-Work lifestyle was never a dream of yours. That sounded so cookie cutter, so monotonous, so boring.
You liked to feel a sense of accomplishment. You liked setting goals and reaching them. You didn't want to freeload off of money that was gained from the capitalistic professions your parents were a part of. You wanted to be in control of your own finances and be the author of your own future, not have it already be etched into stone simply by being just another rich kid from Hawkins, à la the likes of the Carver's or the Cunningham's or the Harrington's.
You were ecstatic when you got the call from Wayne, asking you if you’d be willing to start the following day. He left for work at 2PM, so you’d have to be there before then, and would need to plan on staying until Wayne's nephew got home around six.
If you were to be completely honest with yourself, you felt a bit nervous, but the job itself wasn't the reason why that writhing feeling accompanied your excitement.
You had more than ten years of babysitting experience under your belt, and you were eager to get back into a job you actually enjoyed as opposed to trying out different careers to see what stuck and what didn't. Having graduated the spring before, you’d been taking an off year to save up money by working odd jobs around Hawkins to be able to buy your own apartment.
You’d worked as a florist for a few weeks, but it turned out your thumb was pitch black instead of green.
You worked as the personal assistant for a group of lawyers from a local law firm, but it turned out they just needed office eye candy and not someone to actually get any sort of work done.
You worked as a veterinary assistant, but it turned out the job was much more than just petting cats and dogs. You couldn't handle it when a sick animal would come in and there would be nothing anyone could do. Your heart broke more at that clinic than it had your entire life.
You were in between jobs when you’d decided to peruse the classified section of the Hawkins post. There, in the shortest blurb on the page, was a listing for a needed nanny, a full-time position offering negotiable pay.
The next bit was where the excitement wavered.
The listing was published by a Wayne Munson of the Forest Hills trailer park.
That had to be Eddie Munson's uncle. There was no way there were two separate Munson families living in the only trailer park in Kerley County.
You couldn't believe that you’d stumbled across this ad, that the geeky metalhead you’d crushed on since your freshman year of high school had a little brother you could be the potential nanny of.
You were two years younger than Eddie, but that hadn't stopped you from losing periods of time to daydreams about the way the wind ruffled his wild mess of curls on breezy days or the way his band tee sleeves always clung perfectly to the soft muscles of his biceps or the way his cheeks dimpled when he teased the other boys he sat with at lunch.
You’d always wanted to introduce yourself, but you didn't run in the same crowds -- you being on the cheer team and Eddie blasting Black Sabbath in the parking lot after his Hellfire meetings. You could never muster the courage. He seemed so carefree, so full of life, so effortlessly funny. Chrissy Cunningham, your best friend, had spoken to him once or twice and had told you how different he was than what other people said about him. He wasn't scary or mean or threatening, and instead was warm and silly and genuine.
But you knew how the people you spent your time around treated people like him. You knew your group of "friends" referred to him as a freak, a Satan worshipper, and did everything in their power to try to bully him into becoming a shell of himself. Thankfully, he never did -- it was almost as if Eddie absorbed the hatefulness and spent it tenfold by mocking the hilarity of the jock hierarchy that ruled the school, as well as using it to strengthen his own ability to embrace every misfit that walked the halls of Hawkins High.
You never introduced yourself because you were afraid he’d think you had an ulterior motive, that you’d be trying to talk to him as a joke or a prank. You knew the company you kept. You were sure Jason Carver had once or twice suggested you do just that, lead Eddie on and make a fool of him in front of the whole school.
You figured it'd be best to just stay away.
But now, you thought finding this ad was possibly a sign from the universe.
Maybe you were getting a second chance.

Eddie was running late.
He was supposed to be back home half an hour ago to relieve whoever Olly's new babysitter was of her duties, but the campaign had taken a shocking turn and Hellfire couldn't disband until it had commenced.
The night finally ended with Will's character decapitating Dustin's, and Eddie had to thwart an actual attack when Dustin leapt across the game table at Will in a bout of rage. Dustin was small but mighty, and Eddie had to physically wrestle the boy off of Will's neck, threatening to banish Dustin from the next few campaigns if he didn’t chill out. Henderson had huffed and puffed but had admitted defeat and apologized to Will for the attempted murder.
By the time Eddie arrived back to the trailer park, the sun had almost set. He pulled his van into his parking spot to the right of the trailer and shut it off. Stepping out, he swung his backpack over his shoulder, but came to a halt when he heard Olly's scream sound from behind the trailer.
Dropping his bag and beginning to run toward the noise, Eddie's heart fell to his stomach. Horrible images of what could possibly be pulling that sound from his little brother pervaded Eddie's mind. He had an overactive imagination to begin with, and something like this verbal cue only egged it on. "Olly!" he shouted, panic raising his voice. "Olly, are you okay?! What’s going on, where are --"
Eddie came to a halt when he found the boy in the backyard with a huge smile spread across his small, sweaty face. Olly had a fake crown on, one made of twigs and leaves, and he was carrying one of the biggest sticks Eddie had ever seen. He had a blanket tucked into the back of his shirt, the cloth a makeshift cape. A thin piece of metal, probably from one of the cars Wayne and Eddie sometimes worked on, was wrapped around his center, acting as armor.
Olly had just been playing.
Letting out a heavy breath of relief, Eddie noticed your frame just off to the side. His eyes started from the ground up, noting the shiny red Docs donning your feet, moving up bare legs that were covered mid-thigh by a short black skater dress, one that hugged your curves in a way that had Eddie’s mouth going dry.
By the time he reached your face, your eyes were wide with amusement.
You’d been watching as he slowly drank you in. He didn't mean to ogle. He had to shake his head a few times to clear it, and when he did so, the face before him started looking more and more familiar.
"Wait," he started, head tilting. He spoke your name, tone riddled with confusion. "From high school?"
You were about to answer when Oliver cleared his throat, obviously not wanting to be ignored or to have his playtime interrupted any longer. You looked down at the boy, who pointed up to his head at his crown. You got the gist -- Olly wanted the game to continue. You could indulge him. You’d been doing it all day, and honestly you’d been having the most fun you’d had in a while.
You turned your attention back to Eddie, fixing your posture and jutting your chin out slightly. "I don't know who that is," you began, voice lilting. "I am Princess Guinevere of Kerley County and this here,” you brought your gaze back down to Oliver, “is my most loyal servant, Sir Olly of Castle Munson."
Eddie couldn't help the grin that broke out over his face at your announcement. He then took a moment to fully take in the rest of your appearance. You, too, had on a makeshift crown, this one made up of cherry blossoms and daisies. You had a flowing blanket tucked into the back of your dress, cascading down your back like a veil.
No fucking way were you, last year's cheerleading captain and prom queen, standing in his backyard playing fucking knights and princesses with his little brother. No fucking way.
Olly broke the silence by shouting out, "Hey, Eddie! Who are you gonna be?"
Eddie tore his eyes from you to focus on his brother. He pursed his lips to one side in thought, trying to come up with a character. He was usually quick on his feet when it came to creative play, but he had just spent the last three hours DM'ing a month-long DnD campaign. His brain felt shot. He was pulled from his introspective reverie by your soft, suggestive voice — no, sorry — the soft, suggestive voice of Princess Guinevere.
"Wanna be my dragon, Eddie?" you asked.
Eddie wasn't exactly sure why that made his breath catch in his throat.
He nodded dumbly, silent, then forced himself to speak because he didn't want to look totally lame in front of a Princess. "Okay. Yeah, I'll be your dragon."
You graced him with a smile before Oliver's tiny but booming voice cut through the air of the darkening night. "HEY! Dragons don't talk!" the boy stomped his foot and hit his stick against the muddy ground in annoyance.
A laugh bubbled from your throat and Eddie grinned, jumping into a wide-legged stance before outstretching his arms, tilting his head back, and roaring.

Tumblr media
When you and Wilbur started dating, you thought it was a joke.
Wilbur was the smart and nerdy, yet extremely attractive and well known kid. He was the lead trumpet in the band and a straight A student. He liked to play guitar for small gigs at your local coffee shop, but it was also the same place he worked at on a regular day basis after school.
And you. You were the smart and nerdy kid that no one really knew. You always kept to yourself. You were usually sitting at one of the corner tables at lunch watching the group of girls crowd around Wilbur. You worked at the diner down the street from the café as a waitress. You wrote poetry for fun and put your art in art shows that happened in the city to try and sell them to gain a couple bucks.
To put it simply. You were a nobody. An outcast.
So when Wilbur came over to you at lunch one day, tapping your shoulder to get your attention over the music blasting in your ears, you were shocked.
“Hey! Y/n right?” The boy asked you as you took off your headphones and looked up at him. You took a quick glance over at the group of girls and saw all of them looked confused and jealous he was paying attention to you. The schools nobody.
“Uh.. yeah! Yeah I’m y/n.” You said hesitantly and quiet. “What are you doing over here? Don’t you have other girls to talk to?” You said with a bitter tone.
“Ouch. I can talk to other people you know? What? Don’t want to talk to me?!” He asked as he leant against the wall your table was against and smirked down at you.
You rolled your eyes as you put your pencil down on your notebook. “No Wilbur. I really don’t want to talk to you. I’m busy.” You pointed down to your notebook with a rough sketch of the scene that was in front of you a couple second ago. You had the silhouettes of the students drawn out but got rudely interrupted by Wilbur before you were going to start drawing him.
“Ahh. I see. Is this what you always do at lunch?” He asked as he stole your notebook from the table and flipped through the notebook.
“Wait! Wilbur, stop it! Give it back!”
“What?! Got something bad in here?! Do you draw naked people like Jack from Titanic?! Even worse, do you draw me-“ Wilbur froze as he looked down at your notebook, his face falling slowly into a look of confusion and disbelief.
You quickly grabbed your notebook from Wilbur’s loose grasp and closed it up. You held it to your chest as you closed your eyes and waiting for him to start laughing. But yet, no laughing came.
“Was- Was that me?” He asked in a hushed voice for only you to hear.
“Yeah, so what?” You asked back in a harsh voice.
“I- It’s really good. Like super good. Can I see it again?” He asked you softly as he sat down next to you and held his hand out, head slightly turnt to look at you.
You hesitantly put the notebook in his hand and let him have his fun. As he opened the notebook and flipped through, you watched his face. His face was always perfect somehow. Not just because it was symmetrical! But, because it was always so loose. He had very few wrinkles and he had a little crease it his forehead from when he smiled. He looked peaceful and beautiful. Regardless if he did have any or not, he would always be perfect to you. Always.
“I like this one.” He snaps you out if your thoughts as he points to the page he’s on. One of your favorites as well. It was a portrait of him, but it was his side profile while laughing. He continued flipping until he got to the one he landed on. That one was a drawing of him playing the guitar in a flower field. Something you kind of just.. came up with. But it was by far the one you admired and cherished the most. “Now this. This is incredible. How did you draw this?” He asked looking up at you.
“Oh! Um.. I just kind of imagined a place you would possibly play at and came up with this. It took a while but, it was worth it.” You tell him as you trace over the likes of rough pencil markings and dark shaded areas, admiring the piece. While you did that, Wilbur never took his eyes off you. He watched how your eyes filled with happiness and nostalgia from when drawing this. Filled with relief and longing. He watched your lips twitch as you held back a smile. God how much he would love to see you smile. “But it’s nothing important. Just a silly little sketch.” You concluded as you grabbed the notebook and put it into your bag as the bell rang.
“Do you put any of your art in the art show they do up in the city? Because if you do, you should definitely put that one in there.” Wilbur says as he gets up with you and slings his backpack on his back.
“I do. But I don’t know if I want to put that one. I like it too much.” You gave him a small smile as you looked up at him.
Wilbur smiled back down at you. “Do you have another class for the rest of the day?”
“Um… no actually. Why?” You asked him as you both started to walk out of the school.
“Would you maybe want to go get coffee and maybe go to that flower field so I can play you some music? And so you can draw my handsome self again, obviously.” Wilbur cockily added the last part.
“Hmm. Only if I pay. It’s the least I could do since you’re letting me get a free show and a drawing session in one day.” You offered him.
“Deal. But this is the only time you will be paying. Also I’m driving.” Wilbur says as he stops in front of his car. It was an old, rusty, beat up red truck. But it fit him so well. Like it was made for him.
“Oh? So you’re saying there’ll be another time?” You jokingly questioned him.
“Only if you want it darling.” Wilbur told you as he opened the door for you as you gave him your bag. Wilbur quickly put the bags in the back and ran to the drivers side. He put his phone on the aux and put on a random playlist.
“We’ll see how today goes pretty boy. And maybe there will be another time.” You said as you rolled down your window and let the fall breeze into the car. Wilbur did the same with his and chuckled at the nickname. You looked at him from your seat and smiled brightly at him as he looked at you.
“Well then. I’ll try my best to make it the best time you have ever had.” Wilbur says as he backs out of the parking lot and to the coffee shop.
After that day, you and Wilbur grew closer. You continued to hang out as friends. And eventually those feelings turned into more for the both of you, and the hangouts became dates. And by the end of your junior year, you and Wilbur were dating. Everyone always told you how good you and Wilbur were together. And you thought that too. You loved him. A lot. Yes you had worries but, those quickly subsided when he was around.
You and Wilbur graduated high school with the both of you getting voted best couple of the year in your year book. Wilbur went to college for a couple years but soon dropped out to pursue music. He made a band and quickly started to make music and publish it, which was going extremely well. You, on the other hand, went to college and finished. Going to classes for drawing and painting, to improve your skills, and majoring in fine arts and digital arts. You continued to sell and show your art off at shows and art museums when they offered. You also got a job at a school teaching art and teaching kids that art can help express things and tell stories.
You loved that Will followed his heart and pursued music. You loved watching him just play small snippets of the things him and the guys were working on for you. Loved being apart of the writing process, as well as the designing process. You loved seeing him so happy and excited with his music.
You both lived together in an apartment in downtown Brighton and you were both happy!
Well. At least you were. You didn’t know about how Wilbur felt after finding those text.
Wilbur and you were both lying on the couch, watching a movie. Well. You were at least. Wilbur fell asleep half way through the movie with his arm holding your waist, pulling you close to him. The other hand that was tracing your arms was now in yours as you played with his fingers, listening to his soft snores and his little whispers from his dreams. He looked so peaceful.
Your thoughts got interrupted by the sound of Wilbur’s phone buzzing on the coffee table. Thank god it was on silent or he could’ve woken up immediately knowing him. You took the phone and pressed the ‘shut off’ button to turn of the buzzing.
Once you were settled into Wilbur again. The buzzing started up again. You groaned as you moved and turned the buzzing off again. That had to be it.
A couple minutes later his phone started to buzz again, but short, little buzzes from text messages.
Now you were curious.
Who needed his attention this badly, besides you of course.
You slowly reached over to grab Wilbur’s phone and turned it on to show his lock screen.
The lock screen was a picture of you and Wilbur, sitting on the couch that was in the studio. You sitting on Will’s lap with his guitar in your own lap. Wilbur’s hand fingering the chords, as you strum whatever song you guys were playing. Wilbur’s free hand on your thigh as you both looked at each other with goofy smiles. You remember that day like it was yesterday. The day Wilbur told you he loved you.
When you finally snapped out of your thoughts, you looked down at the messages that continued to come through. You grimaced as you swiped up into his phone to reveal the numbers asking for the password. You hated going on or even through his phone. You didn’t want to be considered that girlfriend. You weren’t the jealous type and it wasn’t like you didn’t trust him, because you did! But. His phone never went off like this unless it was you wanting his attention or his band mates trying to get him to wake up on Saturday mornings for practice.
You typed in Wilbur’s password for his phone, which was your birthday. He said it was “more romantic than a stupid little password that didn’t mean anything to him.” Which you didn’t argue with. As you finally got into his phone, you took a deep breathe and went into messages.
But the name you saw didn’t seem real.
Sarah. A girl throughout high-school you were always jealous of. She was the cheer captain her senior year and she was always on varsity cheer throughout the years. She was the definition of perfect to you. She was beautiful, nice and extremely smart. She was one of those popular girls who was always super nice to people… well like you. The quote-on-quote “weirdos”. Even when she was friends with absolute assholes, it felt nice to be noticed by her. Now, junior year, it was rumored that her and Wilbur liked each other. I mean, they always talked to each other, sat by each other, and you could tell by the way Wilbur looked at her that something was going on. That’s one major reason of why you were jealous of her. But, the rumors were quickly shut down when Brett, the quarterback, asked her to the homecoming after the big game against their rivals. She obviously said yes and that was the end of the story. Sarah and Brett started dating and Wilbur was, you could say, forgotten by her. But you could tell Wilbur still had feelings for her after that night at the football game.
“Why is she texting him?” You thought out loud. You heard Will groan and shift slightly after you said that. You froze and looked at him until you heard his snores start back up, that’s when you relaxed. You looked down at the text.
‘Hey Wilbur!’
‘Are we still getting coffee this afternoon?’
‘Text me back when you can!’
When you say your heart stopped, you meant it. Coffee? With her? With the person he knows makes you insecure about everything? He said he had a get together with his friends tonight. What the fuck is going on?!
You scrolled up and saw the text messages they had earlier. Nothing screamed ‘cheating!’, you know Wilbur wouldn’t do that. But some whispered, ‘watch out for her.’
As you heard Wilbur groan and begin to wake up, you quickly put his phone on the table and smiled up at him.
‘Act normal. Talk about it later.’
“Hey sleepy head.” You put on a small smile as you ran your hands through his hair. He looked… perfect.
“Hey. Have you been awake this whole time?” He asked in a scratchy deep voice. He looked at you as you scratched his scalp and smiled.
“Eh. I woke up about 10 minutes ago.” You said while pecking his chin. He laughed and cupped your face in his hands as he pulled you up to be face to face with him. “What’s up?”
He smiled and looked at you for a couple seconds. “You, my love, are so beautiful.” He leant up and kissed you. Slow and passionate.
The kiss lasted shorter than you both would’ve liked but Wilburs phone started buzzing again. He groaned as he reached for the little device and grimaced as he looked at it. “Sorry love. I have to go. James is calling me.” Wilbur said as he got up from underneath you and put his shoes back on. “I’ll bring back some food for you ok?” He asked you as he pecked your lips one last time.
“Mhm. Just don’t get the wrong thing this time.” You teased him.
“That was one time! And I promise I won’t.” He said back to you as he kisses your forehead and grabbed his wallet and phone.
“I love you. Have fun.” You said as he opened the front door.
“I love you too darling.” He smiled at you as he closed the door.
You quickly frowned as thoughts started to crowed your mind.
‘When he comes home, I’ll ask him about it.’
Well. That was two days ago. And you still haven’t talked to him about it. It’s not like you haven’t had time or you haven’t seen him! You two are basically stuck to the hip when you can be. But. You just couldn’t bring yourself to do it. Afraid that maybe it was true. Maybe Wilbur never loved you and kept in touch with Sarah secretly this whole time and waited until she was either single or loved him again.
No. Your head was just playing tricks on you right? He wouldn’t do that! He’s a good guy. And he loves you. Right?
Wilbur came home from filming a video with Tommy and the rest of the boys. Once he came into the house and greeted you, you sat him down on the couch with you and sighed.
“We need to talk Will. And it’s nothing bad, maybe.” You said, anxiety filling your body as you looked down at your hands in your lap and started picking at them.
“Love what’s up? Talk to me.” Wilbur whispered to you as he grabbed your hands and kissed them.
You looked at him and sigh. “Do you love me? Like… truly. Do you love me?” You asked, slow and drawn out. your voice quiet and breathy, almost like you didn’t want to be saying those words and you didn’t want the reply to them.
The moment those words fell from your mouth, Wilbur’s face fell. He felt… sad? Angry? Confused? Why did you ask him that? Didn’t you know you were all he can think about half the time? Of course he loves you! “Love. Why are you asking that?” Wilbur asked in confusion and disbelief you would even ask that.
“No. Wil. I need you to answer the question. Do you love me or not?” You said, your voice raising slightly as you let go of his hands and got up from the couch.
“I- what brought this up y/n? I just want to know what I did to make you think this-“
“I saw the text. I saw what you both were doing that night. You fucking lied to me Wil! How long has this been going on? How long have you been seeing her?!” You raised your voice as you spoke. You couldn’t control your emotions. You weren’t angry per-say. You were more upset and disappointed. If this was true, you were done.
“What text?! What are you talking about?” Wilbur said as he scrunched his face up and looked at you like you were crazy.
“Oh don’t fucking try that on me. You know exactly what I’m talking about! You and Sarah have been secretly seeing each other this whole time, right? All the times you went out with the “guys”. It was with her. Right?!” You yelled at him, your voice cracking as you held back sobs.
Wilbur just looked at you with the most heartbreaking look ever. You saw the text? He got rid of those! He wasn’t even worried about the text at the moment though. He was upset and angry you thought that about him. Thought that he would do that. But disappointed at himself for not getting rid of her number and just telling you about what happened. “Y/n-“
“Please tell me this is fake. Please tell me what I’m feeling is just my mind playing games on me!” You sobbed as your ran your hands through your hair. “Please, Wilbur. I- I love you so much. Please. Please don’t leave me.” You whimpered as you choked back sobs as you looked at him through blurry eyes. Wilbur hurriedly got up and walked over to you. He wrapped his arms around your shoulders and brought your head to his chest and held it there as you sobbed. You wrapped your arms around his torso and scrunched his sweater up in your hands and squeezed.
Your thoughts persisted as you sobbed into his sweater. ‘He doesn’t love you. He never did!’ ‘He was using you the whole time to get over her.’
It didn’t feel real.
“Please- Wilbur please-“ You gasped out through sobs as you grabbed your chest, trying to get air into your lungs.
“Hey, hey. Look at me, ok? Focus on me.” He said in the softest voice you have ever heard as he gently cupped your face. “Deep breathes. In and out, ok? Do it with me. In-“ Wilbur inhaled as you grabbed into his forearms and followed him. Once he saw you take in as much air as you could, he exhaled. “And out. Good girl. Yeah. And just keep doing that with me ok?” You nodded as Wilbur helped you get a steadier breathe.
Once you nodded at him to tell him you were alright, he brought his forehead down to your own and sighed. “Can I- Can I please explain, all of this?” He asked you as he leaned back to look at you. You nodded, afraid if you spoke you would start crying again.
Wilbur sighed and gently brought you to the couch. He grabbed your hands and held them in his own as he kissed them gently. “Darling. I love you so much. So goddamn much. And I didn’t mean to hurt you.” Wilbur started but quickly stopped as he got choked up. He was scared to be honest. Scared you would leave him either way. Scared that once he explained the whole situation, you would still be upset about all of it. He couldn’t lose you. He wouldn’t be able to bear it. Not having you there with him. Not having your stupid jokes and your silly faces when he wakes up in the mornings. Not having anyone to come home too. Not having you to share music with.
He didn’t like the thought of you not being in his life anymore.
Wilbur looked up to see you looking at him with a sad lopsided smile and waiting patiently for him to continue as you rubbed his knuckles. “I-“ He took a few breathe before continuing. “I saw her at the coffee shop a couple weeks ago. And I hadn’t seen her since high school so I just went up to say hi and ask how she was doing.” Wilbur took a deep breathe before continuing the story. “She said that her and Brett broke up and she was home for the holiday. I had to leave, so I gave her my number, just to catch up her! Nothing else. And she texted me later that day if I wanted to get lunch and catch up in person. And me being the person I am said yes. And then during lunch I-“ Wilbur cleared his throat as he got chocked up once again. “I knew she was trying to flirt with me. She kept touching my hand and making unnecessary comments about me and just- it didn’t seem right. So I started talking about you and she got annoyed. That’s when I finally realized she didn’t want to catch up, more like she wanted to see if I was available. Which I made it super clear that I wasn’t! I mean. I thought I did. I thought I blocked her number, truly. I didn’t think she would keep pestering me about seeing her after talking about you. Y/n-“ Wilbur got cut off by his own sob. All you did was bring him into your chest while crying with him. “I’m s-so sorry. I didn’t mean to h-hurt you. I didn’t mean for you to think like that. I should’ve never said a-anything to her. I’m so sorry.” Wilbur sobbed out into your chest as he held you close to him like a lifeline. Like you would leave any moment.
You buried your face into the messy mop of hair on top of his head. You just sat there, holding him and crying with him, whispering to him that you loved him and it wasn’t his fault. He didn’t know this was going to happen. He didn’t plan for this to happen. It wasn’t his fault.
As you both settled down and your breathing was back to a regular rhythm, you lifted his head in your hands and wiped his tear stained cheeks and gave him a weak smile. “Wil. It’s not your fault. You were just being the nice person you always are, and I love you for that. And I’m not mad at you or anything. I’m just, kind of mad at myself and confused about everything. Mad at myself for letting myself get upset over this without letting you talk. Letting myself get insecure about our relationship and your feelings about me because of her. But also knowing your history with her, it kinda made my brain go into thoughts I didn’t like.” You let out a shaky sigh as you tried to blink away your tears. “But I’m also conf-“ you cleared your throat before continuing. “I’m just also confused on where you went that night and all those nights that you just left in a hurry or just left while smiling at your phone. It doesn’t make sense Wil.” Your voice cracked as you ended your sentence, putting your head down to look at your lap as your bottom lip quivered and you took deep breathes to stop yourself from crying.
Wilbur frowned at you as he sat up and took your hands in his again. “Love. You had all the right to be upset. I should’ve have told you I saw her, I should have told you about the lunch, I should’ve have told you about everything. And I’m so sorry you felt that way love. You shouldn’t have to be insecure about yourself or this relationship. I love you. And only you. You are perfect. And I only want you. Not her. Not anyone else. Just you.” Wilbur sniffed as he lifted your chin up so you were looking at him. “There’s my perfect darling.” Wilbur smiled at you as he cupped your face and rubbed your cheeks. You sent him a weak smile back as you leant into his hand. “And if you’re wondering what I’ve been doing all of those nights. I’ve been with the Phil, Tommy, Jack, James, practically everyone. Every night. Not with her. And I had a plan, but I cant wait any longer so-“ Wilbur cut himself off as he went to his coat on the rack and went through his pockets. He held the mystery thing in his balled up fist and came back over to you.
Wilbur knelt down on one knee in front of you as he looked at you with a small smile. You just sat on the couch with a confused yet shocked face. “Wil-“
“Y/n. Ever since that one little interaction in the cafeteria in junior year, I’ve been utterly in love with you. From your art to the way you laugh and talk about the things you love for hours on end. You have become home. And I never really believed in that stuff, about how a person could become home to you. But now I do. I have found that one person i want to spend every moment with until I die. And the only person that will put up with my bullshit.” You laughed at that as you sniffed and held back tears. “And that is you, darling. Always and only you. Now-“ Wilbur sniffed and smiled as he looked at you and opened the small black box. Inside, a silver ring with a small yet beautiful diamond, which you knew was fake, on the top. You admired the ring as he took it out of its resting place and held it up to you. “I know it’s not much but, it’s something. Y/n L/n, will you make me the happiest man to ever exist and marry me?” Wilbur asked you, his hand slightly shaking as he awaited your answer.
You laughed a little as you yet again held back tears and nodded. “Of course I’ll marry you William. Oh my god.” You say in shock as Wilbur put on the ring and cupped your face. He pecked your lips softly and rested his forehead on yours as he laughed.
“Thank fuck. I was scared you were gonna say no.” Wilbur sighed out as you smiled up at him.
“I would never. I love you too much. That is unless you did do something bad-“
“I swear I didn’t!”
“I know, I know! What made you decide to do… that… now?” You asked him as he sat on the couch and pulled you into his lap.
“Well, knowing you had those thoughts and knowing how impatient I am to just make you mine forever, fuck the plan. Sorry Phil but, I needed you to know that you are my forever. My one and only. My sugar plum. My little soft cute baby-“
“Ok now you’re pushing it.” You deadpanned at him as your crossed your arms and tried not to laugh at Wilbur’s pout.
“Fine. I just won’t call you anything. I won’t even call you my fiancé!” Wilbur whined out as he looked away from you.
Hearing him say that word. Fiancé. Brought a whole other world into you. A whole other part of your life you get to experience, with him.
“Nooooo! No please! I’m sorry! Call me what you like!! See what I did there- please I’m sorry!” You whined out as you kissed all over his face, not a spot left untouched by your lips.
Wilbur laughed at the song reference as you continued to kiss his face. He placed his hands on your waist and squeezed. “Ok! Ok, fine. I will call you whatever I like. And I won’t stop calling you my fiancé. Well- not until we’re married. Because then I get to call you my wife. Oh! I get to call you my wife then! Can we just get married now?! Please-“
Wil! Wil! Calm down dear. We’ll get married when we can afford it. And plus I want our family and friends there. But for now-“ You ran your hands through his hair and rubbed his head as his eyes fluttered shut. “You can call me your fiancé or any other nickname you want.” You smiled at him as he looked at you. Wilbur leaned in and softly connected your lips together. The kiss wasn’t quick or rough. It was like Wilbur was summoning all of his love for you into one kiss. The kiss was soft, slow, and love-filled.
It was perfect.
Once you both needed air, Wilbur pulled away and panted softly as he smiled widely at you. “I love you. And I’m sorry for what happened and not telling you anything. I promise to tell you everything for now on, like i should’ve been doing.” Wilbur sighed and rubbed your waist lightly. “I love you.”
“And I love you. So much.” You smiled at him as you leaned in and kissed him again, but quickly pulling back before the kiss could go anywhere. “And what do you mean ‘like you should’ve been doing’?? I swear to god if you did something el-“
“Hey. None of it is bad. Maybe somethings I did with Tommy or the band that we kept secret, but nothing bad. Now shut up and kiss me.” Wilbur quickly reassured you as he pulled you back into him and kissed you again.
But you being the person you are, needed more answers. “No no no! Did- Did you and Tommy break the TV that one ti-“
“Darling. Love. Baby. Stop talking more kissing, ok? I want to show my fiancé how much I love them.” Wilbur quickly mumbled out as he started to kiss you again.
“Yeah but you have some explaining to do.” You mumbled out in between kisses.
“That depends if you even remember it after we’re done.” Wilbur says as he flips you over, so your back meets the couch, as he hovers over your frame.
“Oh, I will. But you can try to make me forget pretty boy.”
“Oh I certainly will.” Wilbur smirked as he leant down and pressed an intoxicating kiss onto your lips.
You were gonna have to try really hard to remember.

SUNSHINE 6

Pairing: Cowboy Sheriff Dean x female City Gal Reader
Warnings: None
Summary: After your family cut you off, your great-aunt Laura invited you over to her ranch you often visited when you were just a child... You drive through the beautiful town until you accidentally graze a horse that just so happens to be the sheriffs...
A/n: Hello! I've been slowly going back and fixing up my past chapters ( still editing and such but ofc it'll take time! So beware of all of that!) ALSO CLOSED MESSAGES I've gotten a crap load of bots spamming my inbox so if ya need me send me an ask and I'll get to you!
Edited?: fixing up
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
DEAN'S POV
~Weeks went by and surprisingly enough I became more close to Y/n, we have a somewhat friendship now.
I sat in the stands alongside Rory and Lisa, watching Ben during his baseball game. I had invited Y/n but in all honesty, I didn't think she'd show... Yet she did, she hadn't met Ben yet but here she was making her way to sit near me.
She wore a beautiful sundress... That showed off her curves and god her smile... Maybe I had been staring too long but Lisa smacked my arm pulling me back to reality.
"So which one is the little guy?" Y/n asked looking at all the boys on the team as they sat out. I pointed to the little boy who had spikey hair... Even though the kid wasn't biologically mine I still took care of him as one of mine own since he didn't have a father.
Rory shyly walked towards the woman and sat between her and me, holding each of our hands. That caused Lisa to give me the 'You better fix this' type of look. "Rory baby... Momma wants you to sit with her you don't want her to be lonely right?" I asked the little girl scooping her up, she frowned shaking her head before hesitantly sitting with Lisa.
I felt bad. Of course, I did. The last thing I needed was for Lisa to go off on me later.
Y/n searched my eyes, giving me a reassuring smile and hand squeeze before tugging her hand away, without a care in the world I held her hand tighter not wanting the warmth of her hand to leave. I noticed the way she blushed and looked off at the field.
"Woohoo! Go Bears" She shouted standing up, I snorted gently pulling her down "Sweetheart... Wrong team" Her face grew redder, clearly embarrassed.
"S'okay. I'm sure they appreciate your support" I teased wrapping an arm around her waist, kissing the top of her head.
Why was I being so... Touchy-feely? What is going on with me? Goddamn Y/n what have you done to me.
-------
"Dad, did you see me? The practices after school helped more! I hit the ball farther" Ben stated throwing his fists up into the air, smiling happily.
"Yea-" I was immediately cut off by no other then Lisa.
"What do you mean after school? You have piano after school?" Lisa looked Ben and I up in down, trying to see who'd crack first.
"We mean after Piano practice" I lie, during the years I've seen how miserable the poor kid was, the moment Lisa found out he had some musical talent she forced piano, and voice lessons down his throat. So when Ben came to me, a year ago saying he wanted to try baseball, how could I deny him something he wanted? Lisa and I came to an agreement that he stay in piano, but... Ben would flash off those adorable puppy dog eyes each time and I always found myself driving right past the studio.
"Hmph good." Lisa huffed and sighed, gathering the kid's things which I helped put in her trunk.
-------
When I arrived back at the ranch, Y/n was already waiting there with a small smile. If I'm being serious, my mind kept going back to the day she said she was a runaway bride. It didn't bother me, it just made me a little worried.
"How the hell did you beat me here?" I mutter taking off my baseball cap and walking up onto the old porch that's going to need to be repaired sooner then later.
"Because I've seen fast in furious"
I quirk a brow and walk past her, "Sure sweetheart. Let me guess you got lost and went the muddy route?" I state seeing the mud on her tires proving that I have solid evidence.
"Yeah... Yeah, I got lost! I can see why no one takes the quick route... It's sorta scary"
We both walk in tossing our boots off, I nod and smile a little "Thanks for coming to the game...even though you cheered for the other team twice" I playfully smirk and walk over to the kitchen making us some sandwiches.
"Anytime, I surprisingly had a good time. I've never seen baseball before but it was cool to see the boys get happy whenever they hit the ball." She softly smiled and turned around raiding the kitchen for whatever she must be looking for.
I learned very quickly not to ask what she's looking for, even if it's to tell her that it's right in her face. Especially at night when she's raiding the fridge, with her messy hair she looks like a raccoon which I also learned not to call her that when she's half asleep.
She pulled out some leftover chocolate cake from last night, hell fuckin yeah.
"Are you gonna' share that?"
She holds the container closer to her chest "Nope."
"Oh, c'mon! I made you a sandwich, it's only fair" I try my best to mock the kids' pouts since they always seemed to work.
"Fine fine, one slice only because you ate all the pie yesterday"
"I asked you if you wanted some" I muttered, going off to the back porch and setting down our plates, this became our ritual. We'd eat and talk, every damn day we did this. I didn't mind it on bit.
"After the fact that you were almost done with it" She followed behind with the two slices of chocolate cake, she sat down her hair flowing in the wind.
"I still offered" I argued with a small smile digging into the piece of cake first before taking a bite of my sandwich.
I looked at the view in front of me, and god I loved it. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else, the way the birds chirped and how the flowers looked in the field. Beautiful, this time though. My eyes weren't on the field they were on her
"Hm, back to our subject from yesterday." She whips out a clipboard from under the chair, she was trying to be funny as she showed me her fake 'file' she made of me with all the things I like, etc.
"Would you ever leave?"
That question caught my attention.
"What do you mean? Leave the ranch?"
Y/n shook her head “I mean leaving this town. It never gets boring?”
I've never actually given it much thought before. Living here all my life, what was the point of leaving a place that you have it easy in?
"Nope. I did go to New York once. Never again, way too many people for my liking, I also got my younger brother around here so I don't plan on being far from him and his little family."
New York was a shit show, way too many people with attitudes, and too crowded. In my opinion, it was like hell. Though did have cheap hotdogs which were a nice plus and some of the views, besides that, it all was way too expensive and not worth it.
"Would you ever move back...?" I question, wondering how long she was planning on staying.
She stayed quiet, fiddling with the ends of her sundress as she kept her head down low.
We sat in total silence until she spoke.
"Maybe. It has been my home... But I like it here too so it's a little confusing." she admits running her fingers through her hair.
"So as of right now your staying?" I look at her, I feel those god forsaken butterflies in my stomach.
"Yes sheriff you don't have to worry about me up and leaving without two weeks' notice" she teased bumping her shoulder with mind, she smiled.
The way she smiled always made me melt... I liked seeing it. Seeing her happy. Without a thought second I blurt out "Will you go on a date with me? As friends...or y'know?" The moment I realized what I had said it was too late to take it back and didn't want to seem like a jackass for taking it back anyways.
I saw her thinking with a faint blush on her face, maybe she was thinking how to let me down slowly so it wouldn't be awkward.
Y/n lifted her head up and nodded "I'd like that Dean."

✩-Skincare-✩
Pairing: Miguel Cazarez Mora x Fem!Reader
Word count: 1.9k
Warnings: Kissing but not much
| Miguel Cazarez Mora Masterlist
Tumblr media
It was currently 10:02 pm and you were laying in Miguel's bed while he was playing video games. you were scrolling through tiktok secretly watching edits of your boyfriend as you had nothing else to do.
after watching a tik tok about how the Kardashians were canceled for the billionth time, you scrolled to the next which happened to be a girlfriend doing skincare on her boyfriend. you watched as she pulled his hair back with a headband, did a face mask, jade roll, moisturize, and all that other stuff to the boy.
Your first thought was how cute this was. then suddenly, An idea popped into your head.
You hopped off of the bed and shuffled your way over to Miguel. you lazily wrap your arms around his neck and shoulders, "Hi baby." you greeted him with kisses on his cheek and neck.
"Hi princess," he said while leaning into your touch. "what's up?"
"Mmmmm, can I do some skincare on you," I asked, giving him lots of kisses in hopes of persuading him. Miguel doesn't give it much thought before agreeing and finishing his game.
"let me finish this real quick. it'll only be a couple more minutes."
You never really mind when Miguel played video games like most girlfriends would. that's because Miguel wasn't distracted by them as much. whenever you needed him, or simply just wanted to cuddle, 98% of the time he would stop whatever he was doing and would immediately be by your side. that other 2% was if he was nearly done with the game he would ask if he could finish and you always said yes.
it was also a big bonus to see how happy he got when he won whatever game was playing.
while you waited for Miguel to finish, you got out all the skincare you wanted to use, except for stuff that needed to be cold; you kept that in your White mini skincare fridge Miguel gifted you a couple of years ago. He bought it for you to keep at his place for when you stayed over.
You picked out three of your skincare headbands for Miguel to pick out. you had also picked out a few different kinds of face masks for him to choose from too.
when you left the bathroom, Miguel was laying down, waiting patiently on his bed scrolling through his phone. a small smile brightened your face as you made your way to him, setting down the stuff you gathered on the bed. you sat on your knees beside him on the bed and greeted him with a quick kiss on the lips before showing him all the products.
"Okay, first, which headband do you want to wear," you held up all the options. "this one is bunny ears, this one's dog ears, and this one is just a pink bow." you held out each option.
Miguel pondered and looked between the three, "the bunny ears." he said pointing to the Bunny ears. Miguel lifted his head slightly as you pulled it over his head and brought it up to pull his long hair out of his face.
"We totally don't have to do this and it's up to you but," you paused momentarily. "can I do your eyebrows?" without any hesitation, Miguel agreed, "Of course, baby." You smiled as you got out your derma blade and tweezers. "Now, if this hurts, tell me and I'll stop." Miguel just nodded in response.
You fixed the top of his brows and plucked some of the hairs under it. each time you plucked the hairs, Miguel would squint in pain. it hurt, but of course, he would take it just for you. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry." you would apologize quietly after every pluck.
"Now the hard part is over. let's do some skincare!" he loved your enthusiasm; it made his heart beat a thousand miles per minute. Miguel's eyes were shut tight as you opened the eye mask.
"wait," Miguel softly interrupted. "Can you, maybe, explain everything while you do it?"
you chuckle slightly at this, "Of course. Right now, I'm taking out these little patch things and I'm putting them under your eyes to help with puffiness and they reduce eye bags." you informed the best you could.
"Hey! Are you saying I have bad eye bags?!" you rolled your eyes, "Dude, you stay up till four in the morning, yes you have eyebags!" Miguel laughed at you, and eventually, you joined in on the laughter.
before getting started, you straddled his lap and Miguel rested his hands on your outer thighs.
you took the gold under eye patches and placed them under his eyes. "alright, now I'm going to take this rose-quartz roller and gently massage it in." you were barely starting, and yet Miguel was already getting so relaxed, he felt sleepy.
A faint smile appeared on Miguel's face, he could practically see the concentration on your face. the way your eyebrows furrow slightly and your tongue sticks out a little.
Once you were done, you set the roller aside and discarded the eye patches back in their original packaging, setting it off to the side and mentally labeling it as the start of the trash pile. "now, you are going to pick out a face mask to do." Miguel's eyes open enough to see.
"We have a peel-off mask, a sheet mask, or one I can wash off with a washcloth." you show the options.
Miguel contemplated for a bit before picking the sheet mask. you had picked out one from your fridge that was infused with aloe vera. "this one has aloe vera, 'k?" Miguel just hummed in response.
you opened the package and placed the sheet mask on his face, adjusting it before taking the roller and massaging it in again. Miguel hummed at the feeling.
you took the mask off, placed it back in the package, and used your fingers to massage the residue in. Afterward, you gave Miguel a quick kiss on the lips before moving on. "now I am putting some vitamin C serum on you." your voice was gentle, relaxing Miguel even more. you place small drops on key components of his face: forehead, cheeks, and chin. you massaged it in again with your delicate fingers.
finally, it was the last step, moisturizer. "last but not least," you started. Miguel internally frowned, he didn't want this to end. "moisturizer." you took your moisturizer and rubbed it in gently.
"all done, baby." you smiled. Miguel's eyes flutter open to look at your beautiful self sitting on his lap. he took one of his hands off your thigh to take off the headband. he sat up as you pushed yourself back to let him sit up.
after he sat up, he gave you a quick yet passionate kiss. "that was amazing. you need to do that more often." giving you another kiss.
"good. I'm glad you enjoyed it." you both finished your night routines, settling into bed. you curl up to Miguel's side, "next time, I wanna do that to you." he said, you chuckle, "I would love that." you both snuggle deeper into the bed before drifting off into a relaxing sleep.

As someone who hasn't gotten that far in One Piece either, I think you did great job in the Kid request. Thank you! ෆ˙ᵕ˙ෆ
And I've come to bug and request again but with Uryū Ishida from Bleach this time!
Prompt- "I'm always thinking of you.."
So the reader (f. artist) one time spotted Uryū (her classmate) using his powers with Ichigo against a Hollow, and she couldn't help but to be captivated by his stance and weapon. Since this day she's used him as a muse to create art pieces, most if not all, contain some sort of part of him.
Either way, throughout this time Uryū has noticed the constant stares but assumed he was just imagining it. That was until one afterschool he quickly turned and caught her eyes on him, but no matter how long he kept eye contact she wouldn't look away. This was too strange for him so he decided to confront her then and there.

Uryu Ishida x Fem.Artist Reader
Tumblr media
Thanks, I just needed this to get a little practice for writing his character. Edit: I promise I'm not dead! I finished this forever ago, but it got buried under drafts, and I forgot after I came back xD
Want more from me? -> Masterrrrrlist 2

🏹You Intrigue Me🏹 (Bleach)
Warning: Fluff(?), I ended up not having to use female pronouns, so anyone can read
You catch the smartest kid in your class using powers with Ichigo, the designated bad boy. What an odd match...but perhaps there's something under the surface?
✨✨✨✨✨✨
Your morning walk to school was as normal as any other day.
Until it wasn't.
Your foot halted, hovering over the asphalt as you tensed in fear from a bloodcurdling screech.
You slowly turned your head, your body heating up.
You could feel it, whatever it was.
And you wanted no parts, you had no urge to be curious.
“I’ll just walk to school quickly—”
It was in front of you in an instant as you face forward.
At this point, you grew so tense you thought your muscles would snap.
It growled lowly, drool falling from its toothy grin.
You wanted to run, you really did.
But your feet wouldn’t move.
You let out an involuntary whimper, shrinking back.
Move, you needed to move! Run!
And you finally snapped out of it, just in time, too.
The spot you abandoned was soon replaced with large claws burrowing into the street.
You hid behind a nearby building, hoping that whatever it was couldn’t lock on a scent.
But you could feel it, edging closer.
Until…
You could feel something else…or, two somethings.
“Go find your own! I don’t need your help!”
Your brows furrowed, that voice…was familiar.
“This isn’t a small fry—trust me, I don’t want to be near you either—but this is a much higher priority than your pettiness.”
“More like your pettiness. You’re way pettier than I am!”
You peeked around the corner and you couldn’t believe it.
It was Ichigo Kurosaki…and Uryu Ishida? Together?
And what were they wearing? That isn’t how they usually dress.
And…why did they have weapons? Not that you were upset considering there was a scary monster, but what were they going to do?
Ichigo ran for the beast first, swinging his sword, which you noticed he was somewhat barbaric with.
“You can’t just jump in like that, you need to strategize!” Uryu growled, drawing back an arrow.
“I strategize we kill this thing!” Ichigo grunted back.
You found yourself zeroing in on Uryu, how he’d smoothly adjust his aim when Ichigo made the monster move too much.
You were impressed with his form, so confident and sure, so elegant.
Then he let it go, and your eyes widened at the beautiful attack.
☆*: .。. .。.:*☆☆*: .。. .。.:*☆
But that was a few days ago, you never told them you saw them. Figuring everyone had their secrets and things they didn’t want people to know, you weren't the type to interrogate.
But that didn’t mean you didn’t think about that day…a lot.
Or…someone a lot.
Ever since that day, every time you would do anything related to art it would somehow relate to him. First, it was unconsciously…then, you just went with it.
Like you were doing now, you were sketching him drawing back his arrow.
Everyone knew you sketched, so they paid no mind.
And the teacher didn’t care because you were in the top 5 of your school, as long as you did the homework, there were no issues.
But that was no problem, you knew everything about the course already.
Anyway, away from school.
Your gaze flicked to him for the twentieth time today.
Uryu Ishida.
And you internally smacked yourself for not paying more attention to him sooner.
While on Uryu’s end, he thought he was imagining the heavy gaze on his head.
Every time he’d subtly look back, no one was looking, so he’d given up days ago.
Until afterschool one day, he felt that heavy feeling and turned.
Ha! He’d finally caught the suspect!
It was you?
He expected you to look away, often he was told his gaze was intimidating.
But you didn’t falter.
“Strange…” he muttered.
You tilted you head in curiosity as he approached you with determination.
“[Last Name].”
“Yes?”
“Why have you been watching me?”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, it’s just…”
How do you explain this to him without admitting you saw him use powers and weapons and things?
“Wha—How do you know about that?”
You followed his gaze and yelped when you realized your sketchbook was wide open on a page of him.
Well, guess your book did the explaining for you?
“Uh…”
“How do you know about this?” he glared, snatching the book.
“Hey!”
He flipped the pages, easily dodging your attempts to get it back.
“And why are there so many?”
You groaned in embarrassment.
“Are you plotting something? Are you undercover?”
“What? No! Undercover for what?”
He took in your expression for a second, seeing genuine confusion and embarrassment.
“Hm…Not undercover…”
You tried to grab the book while he was still, but he simply moved his arm.
“But that doesn’t explain why this book is filled with me? How do you even know about my powers?”
“I just happened to see you one day…” you admitted.
“So, this is from a single time?”
You averted your gaze, “Well, ever since I saw you fight—I just found you so beautiful and—Uh, er…I just--from an artist’s standpoint, your form is very pretty. I’m always thinking of you when I try to do any art and…”
“I see,” he coolly replied, although he was fortunate you were too embarrassed to take in his lightly flushed cheeks.
“I’m sorry, I won’t draw you anymore! I know that’s probably weird!”
“Mm…I don’t mind, you draw me well, at least.”
You take back your book in surprise, jolting at the brush of fingers.
“But I think I can offer you a little more to work with than that. Are you available?”

Tumblr media
Masterlist
Word Count 5K
Relationships: Andy x Reader (romantical), glimpses of the sibling dynamic of Andy and Kyle. 
Warnings: Mentions of blood (an implied intense chucky hunting scene) 
Summary: The chaze after Chucky leads to certain inconvenients making Andy and Kyle accept staying with you, but some strange findings at your house split their opinions about trusting you.
Notes: Part 4 is on the way, i choose to split what I got for this one in two because otherwise it would have been over 10K. On a couple of days I’m gonna upload the next part because it’s not edited. 
Tags: @losersclubisms​
There was not much time to point out all the details that he would have preferred to, but Andy owed you an explanation. He felt so particularly strongly because he was imagining you seeing your life getting ruined in a matter of moments since his appearance and the incredible amount of guilt he was feeling for that was inconfessable. His most immediate instinct was thinking that Chucky found the way back to you through him. The doll head he kept in his place for years saw a picture of you playing together as kids put in a portrait next to the ones of everyone Andy cared for. He found out then that your friend never forgot you, that you were his last happy childhood memory. From time to time Chucky would make mention of you as part of the psycological torture, his favorite game being making him doubt about your survivor condition claiming that he could have killed you years ago and he wouldn’t even know. 
If he avoided reaching you for so long, that was only because he was convinced of being protecting you. Andy liked to imagine that being so little at the time played in your favor and you could have forgotten everything, turning it into a repressed traumatic memory. When thinking of his past and all the people who suffered from it, you were the only one who got away in time. Perhaps you two were too little to understand that it was the best for you, but time helped him to get convinced that he had to disappear from your life for you to have one. Keeping the memories of happier times was enough for him, stuff to get back from time to time when life would feel crushing. He wished you all the normal bliss he would never have and hated to realize his and Chucky’s arrival could be interrupting it. 
“ I’m so sorry, you shouldn’t have to be part of this ever again.” He was barely able to look at you, shame mixed with some of his usual survivor's guilt making it unnecessarily hard. “ It’s my fault, I brought the son of a bitch back to you again. I should be the last person you shall want to see.” 
Careless for the passing of time, you comforted him in the same way he would have done with you as kids, by tenderly kissing his forehead before directing him reassuring words. 
“ Would you believe me if I tell you that I have been waiting for this all my life? I am not scared, I am relieved. I knew he was going to come back, now I can finally stop waiting.” 
He was very confused, the cluelessness in his expression was a consequence of the crash between his assumptions and your reality. 
“ All this time?” 
“ I am only glad that he brought you back to me.” You sweetly confessed. “ I never forgot:  doctors, teachers, friends … partners. The whole world wanted me to but I didn´t, I refused to do it. My mother was one of the few exceptions, she had a peculiar way to process things. If we survive, I will make some time to tell you.” 
At that point he had to correct you, he didn’t like your use of plural. 
“ There is no ‘us’ on this: you take the kids out and let me handle it. “ Andy stopped you. “ I brought backup, we are going to be alright.” 
In that command you recognized the little boy who once told you to stay hidden in the closet as he was getting ready for a fight with a baseball bat. 
“ Some things never change.” You teased him. “ I am not a little girl anymore and my job is strategic from many standpoints. Around ten percent of it consists of searching for stuff the kids loose, I have an eye trained to find toys in uncommon places. I can help, you just have to trust me.” 
It wasn’t an option, Andy wasn’t going to take the risk. 
“ I trust you, I’m sure you must be a champion at Where is Wally: toy edition; but we are talking of Chucky. “ He insisted. “ Kyle has gone through this with me before, Chucky was back when we met in foster care. She is my eldest sister, she has fought by my side many times and I can assure you we will get the situation under control.” 
Exactly as he was finishing the sentence you got to hear the sound of the fire alarm, excuse his sister must have found to evacuate the place. 
“ Andrew William Barclay, you are not getting away with this.” You complained, knowing that your job would force you to stay away from the hunting ground. “ Not again, I’m not going to stay in the freakin closet! ” 
There was no way ever in which he could have forced you to stay completely at margin. Once you got your kids out you rushed back inside under a partially true excuse. Camila was distressed because her toy could be trapped in a fire, although the glances you shared helped you see she was perhaps a bit scared that he could be the one causing it. The girl was begging to understand there was something wrong with it and that tale about the toy sickness you came up with helped a bit on that part. You impulsively got back, excusing yourself to one of your colleagues so she would watch over your group under the claim of trying to fix the problem of the little girl. 
A very personal motive was impulsing you to make such a reckless choice, you craved to find the ginger bastard for a resolution of your issues. You always knew he once spotted you as the weakest, the trembling tag along little friend of Andy who used to be too scared to present resistance. You were his terrified assistant from the very first crime: you helped him out of the boy’s bed so he could get to kill Maggie. Andy would deny it to make you feel better but you were sure that, if Chucky would have shown himself to you first, he would have got the human body he wanted simply because you were too scared of him to do better. You wanted to help, but you also wanted to stop feeling powerless. To prove yourself that the doll wouldn’t paralyze you of fear anymore, that you were strong and he was wrong. 
The scene you found didn’t provide you the space to get what you wanted because you got there too late. The fight had already started and was reaching its end. All you got to do was share a certain shock with the only remaining witness aside from you, a woman that you guessed was his sister. 
There were no gunshots, a silent attack was preferable in that context but convenience wasn’t his reason for it. Andy let it get way too personal, even more than usual, because that time he had reasons to believe the doll was coming for you. He practically handled the killing all on his own, fury overcame him to a point in which he simply couldn’t stop himself despite being aware Kyle was looking. He wanted Chucky gone in the messiest, goriest way for daring to get close to you. The doll was long gone, head smashed into an unrecognizable mess after he stomped it with his feet, but Andy kept stabbing the body out of rage and rejoicing on the tons of blood coming out of it. 
Only the sound of your voice got him out of the trance. 
“ Andy… are you alright?” You asked him out of quick impulse, even when the visual evidence would prove otherwise. “ Jesus Christ, there is blood all over you.” 
He stopped immediately, horrified to find out you discovered him on action. 
“ Don’t worry, it's not mine.” Was all he managed to come up with. “ It comes out of him, remember?” 
You laughed at the answer and gave a few steps towards him, standing there to curiously observe the scene. 
“ Is that all that's left of Chucky?” 
“ At least this one. We haven't got to that part yet, but you have to know there are many out there now and we can’t know for sure if that was the only one he sent. ” He patiently informed you. “ You shouldn’t be here, this is just … plain disgusting.” 
You bent down to reach him, held his hand and used the red stain left in your fingertips to draw a smiley face on the back of your only clean hand. It was a dark act of reassurance still implying some light within. 
“ Would you mind staying in my house later so you can explain to me all I need to know?” You calmly asked, giggling a bit afterwards because he seemed more shocked than you.“ You need to take a shower and I don’t think any hotel will allow you to check in like this.” 
Observing you got Kyle convinced that, one way or another, the youngest kids who stumbled across Chucky had to be the most damaged no matter the numbers in their encounter count. Her brother briefly told her during the search that you were teaching there and she knew of your existence from the beginning in the foster home, when her teenage self ended up asking a seven years old Andy who gave him the bracelet he seemed to protect over many other of his possessions. She was, saving the circumstances, pleased to know she would get to know you but the oddities in your first meeting were significant. 
There was a horrifying complicity on your part regarding the atrocity committed, which made her wonder if you shared with Andy some desensitization to violence product of being exposed to it since before you could even process it. Her brother, however, looked fascinated as if he would have found a soulmate.  
You may have managed to become better adjusted, but you were far from normal. For instance, you allowed them to reach your place ahead of you so Andy would get clean. No questions needed, no explanations required: you were inviting them to hide there just for the sake of your old friendship with Andy. 
“ Are you sure that’s not a bit too much?” Kyle tried to convince you against it. “ I understand you are grateful, but we don’t want to cross any weird limit.” 
His clumsy attempt of refusal was accidentally accompanied by some more assumptions. 
“ It’s really kind of you, but we can’t accept that. “ Andy followed her. “ What would your family say if they found a man covered in blood in their bathroom?” 
The comment was quite odd to you, since you felt it implied a particular definition of family.
“ My only family living there is my sister and she is currently out of town.” 
Andy was very surprised to hear that because it went against all his predictions. 
 “Really? I just thought that maybe…” 
You weren’t sure of why he would assume right away that you were a married woman having children. Perhaps because your profession involved taking care of kids? There was no way to know, but it flattered you.  
“ You are the only husband I ever had. “ 
He knew you were talking of your childhood games playing pretend to be a family using your toys as children. The mere mention got a shy smile out of him, which was an incredible contrast with the expression and demeanor shown briefly before. 
All the hate he had for Chucky was directly proportional to his sweetness with you. 
“ Well, thank you!” He answered, hoping the splats of blood were helping to cover up from another sort of red on his face. “ It's cute that you remember that. I only hope I was a good husband. “ 
He would have never been ready for your even sweeter comeback. 
“ The best ever, you saved my life.” You said before proceeding to give his sister context. “ When we were kids we used to play being a married couple, among many other games. It was the first game Chucky saw us play. Andy wanted him to play his coworker, but I wanted him to be my baby. I will never forget that moment, the very first words he said to me : ‘No fucking way, bitch’ “ 
Kyle didn’t want to laugh, but it escaped out of her because the anecdote was cute and awful at equal amounts. What didn’t escape to her was the effect you had on her brother. You two were extremely weird, but it seemed to be making him good. 
In her reasonable concern awakened by the unusual situation, she indulged in a bit of harmless searching across your house once they got there. There would be some time left before you would come back from work, since you were probably stuck dealing with the mess left behind and waiting for the parents to pick up their children. She made sure  Andy would go directly to the shower, using that time to figure out more of who you were. The first detail that she noticed were some weird signs placed close to every entrance of the place, windows included. It looked like some sort of witchcraft that made her fear they could have walked into a trap. A black cat sleeping in the biggest couch of your living room felt like a sign of confirmation for something suspicious. 
For the first time, he was the one refusing to acknowledge any issues. She later tried to bring up the observations but he wasn’t listening. 
“ We don’t know anything about this woman and she doesn’t know anything about us yet here we are, crashing at her place like long time pals. I hate to be saying this but.. Since when do you trust people, Andy? What’s wrong with you?” 
He wasn’t acting like himself and he was aware of it. 
“ She is very special to me.” Was his first, most imminent reply. “ We discovered Chucky together, but even before that we once were each other’s best friend.” 
“ I get it, you have good memories from when you were kids, but that was decades ago. If those feelings wouldn’t be involved you would see how suspicious that looks like. If that is actually witchcraft, then she could be connected to Chucky.” 
The questioning seemed to get him a bit irritable. 
“ For fuck’s sake, trust me in this! “ Andy complained, still trying to avoid shouting. “ She picked a career out of wanting to avoid more children to end up like us. Do you wanna know how I found out it was her? She kept the Scooby Doo plush that was her favorite back then and she shows it to the kids. She is exactly as sweet as she used to be.” 
That conviction came from more than just some observed facts. Andy was sure that watching him kill that Chucky should have scared you away, but it didn't. Instead, you reassured him in the sweetest way. Despite being an accidental witness of his darkest side emerging you didn’t rush out in fright for what he did and that was wonderful. 
“ Nothing else in my life is as it used to be, Kyle, but she is. One moment in her classroom and I was already feeling like a kid again.” 
The words implied that, but he didn’t dare to say the word happy. That was what happened: for an instant he got a reminder of how it was to be a happy kid, untouched by Chucky. While being with you his inner child found a special comfort at the same time his adult self was freaking out about feeling that peculiar attraction towards the woman you have become. He felt guilty because of how hopeful he was when you denied his assumptions about your relationship status. 
“ Alright, let’s do this. '' Kyle concluded, in a more relaxed tone. “ First we figure out that she isn’t some murderous witch about to offer us in sacrifice, then we get you a date.” 
The jump to conclusions surprised him and they were about to enter into some silly bickering about the tease. 
“ I never said I like her that way.” 
“ Andy, I am the eldest and you honestly ain’t fooling anyone. “ His sister snarked back. “ You can’t fake even when your life depends on it, that’s why I always handle the interviews.” 
They searched up carefully and under very different criteria. While she wanted to find anything to help confirm or reject her theory about you, he was trying to figure out things to get to know you personally. What things you liked or disliked, your habits, anything that the information in your house would allow him to find out. He was paying attention to your decoration, searching for portraits showing any photos, then looked at your old CDs and the dvd collection in the living room. Of course, some could belong to someone else living there with you, but it was fun trying to make guesses on which stuff could be yours. 
There was a characteristic mix of adult, sometimes dark, and childish elements all over your things. Stuff like the weird symbols Kyle noticed was being balanced with your use of light colors on the walls. Plushies were placed as random decoration tokens and there was a cute scratcher house for your cat. You had a collection of horror movies mixed with children cartoons; a Backstreet Boys CD old enough to belong in your teenage years three titles away from some equally old goth rock records. The living room had portraits on display, which made him stop caring about those minor oddities into solving one particular wonder going on in his mind. 
Family, friends, pets you had over the years; the pictures were information about events in your life. The intrigue of knowing if there was a space still saved there for him was killing him, but the answer he found was greater than what he could have ever imagined. On top of a shelf, there was a portrait displayed next to your old Strawberry Shortcake doll and following an empty space. He imagined that it must be Scooby’s normal place in your house, the two toys looking like guardians of that photo. It was taken on your fourth birthday, the last one of yours you shared with him, and you two were smiling in front of the cake. 
Not only it showed that you never forgot him, that small corner of your house was like a psychological altar to the innocence that you lost. Nostalgia, pain and hope all combined made him break and he let go some silent sobbing until his contemplation finished with a distraction caused by the irruption of the housecat reaching out to inspect him. 
By the time you arrived back home that suspicious approach became intense interaction. You had terrible news for everyone, but coming to see what you found made everything worthy. Andy was laying on your living room’s biggest couch and your cat was on top of him, getting comfy against his chest. It was extremely unusual and it got you in the purest awe. 
“ We were watching TV because we got a bit bored waiting, but your little buddy had other plans and felt like letting me know I was usurping his couch.” He innocently explained to you. “ I couldn’t refuse, he is adorable.” 
Your face was bright of happiness, unable to properly process what the scene was making you feel. 
“ Freddy! That’s not how we treat our guests, let Andy have the couch. He must be exhausted from hunting and, unlike you, he killed the prey instead of wound it to play with it.” You mockfully reprimanded your cat while reaching out to caress the top of his head. You also bent down a bit to salute Andy with a kiss on the cheek. “ Mind if I take a picture? He is never like this with strangers, you don’t know how lucky you are. I am amazed.” 
“ We are two, you don’t know how hard it is to see this one with his guard down.” Kyle commented, but about her brother. “ He is making me feel paranoid when usually he is the untrustful one.” 
You dropped some bags to grab your phone and, after getting your old friend’s permission, you took a few pictures of the curious episode. Andy smiled shyly for the camera and the overall cuteness in him was making your heart race. 
“ Don’t worry, if you wanna talk about paranoia you came to the right place.” You answered back at the blond woman on the individual seat beside. “ Most of my resting furniture is Chucky proof, nothing bigger than my little boy gets to hide underneath beds or couches. The systems are self designed, I got too many years of that fantasy about getting stabbed from underneath my bed.” 
“ Do you get those too?” Andy asked, showing an evident amazement that kept growing. “ Shit, that’s horrible. Although being strangled from behind is a strong competition for that one.” 
“ I made peace with the strangling part. When we were teens my cousins were about to get rid of their Good Guys and I asked to keep those ‘ for closure reasons’. “ You began to confess yourself. “ My eldest cousin used to be a bitch, she locked me in a closet with the dolls as a joke when we were 8. When I finally got hands on those bastards I destroyed them and made a necklace with their shoelaces. I called it a Chucky Choker.” 
The funny disturbing anecdote got a few laughs despite the implicancies. 
“ It’s common sense, not paranoia.” Andy followed you. “ Nothing is being too careful, you will never be ready.” 
“... and fuck chimneys!” 
The inside joke was about the way in which Chucky broke into Andy’s old apartment when you were running away from him. 
“ Feeling unprepared pisses me off: when I finally have the upper hand the asshole flips the board and switches the rules!”  You continued, actual frustration mixing on your speech. “ Suddenly he decided to go body positive, embrace his doll form, and now we get tons of him instead of one kid being chased for a body. I spoke with Camila and I have awful news. Do you wanna get those now or after eating? I brought some takeaway.” 
Kyle answered for both, showing herself slightly more relaxed. 
“ Bad news first. Spit it out.” 
“ She said ‘Oscar’ told her about his many friends and was ‘making weird jokes’ about convincing her to kill me.” You explained, more indignated than scared. “ WHY? Since WHEN does he need kids to do his dirty work?” 
Andy was as surprised as Kyle regarding that last part, but he also saw his worst fears confirmed: you were a target. 
“ Never before, that’s new.” He replicated. “ If he wants you dead, he comes to get you.”  
“ As far as i know, Camila has no babysitters and there is no housekeeper. Chucky must have run out of potential victims in her house. Killing the parents is not an option if he wants to manipulate the kid.” 
“ Heading to school to kill teachers seems reasonable from his perspective. “ Kyle joined you in the theorization. “ I don’t get why getting the girl involved, but he is Chucky. Traumatizing children is his hobby.” 
“ You both still think this is casual?” Andy interrupted, guilt making him angry. “ (y/n), he picked a girl in your classroom. He left a message for you: this has to be personal.” 
“ Then why am I not dead? He could have mixed with the classroom’s toys and made his strike on his own the very first day he arrived here. “ You insisted, keeping the thread of your point. “ Did he ever wait this long to kill anyone he really wants to? Chucky? The same asshole who killed your babysitter ON THE SAME NIGHT just because she turned off the TV? He has no patience, I doubt time changed that.” 
Andy proceeded to do the question he must have done from the start. 
“ Have you got any strange packages prior to this? Even if you refused to receive those.” 
“ A mysterious Chucky size package? Nop, not at all. He is like my father: he ruined my childhood and doesn’t even call for Christmas.” 
Bittersweet jokes were your thing and those weren’t necessarily bad.
“ I know what it looks like: I’m the connection, but we can’t be sure of that yet.” You attempted to tranquilize him. “ He had over two decades to come for me and didn’t. I took some precautions I was taught to, but I don’t think those could have made me invisible.” 
“ Is that what the shit over there is supposed to mean?” Kyle asked you, pointing out at the odd marks on your entrances. “ I gotta be honest, it’s shady as fuck.” 
“ Of course, I forgot to explain that part! I bet you thought I was a witch about to kill you.” You apologized, actually feeling bad under the possibility of making them worry. “ Nadia taught me that it keeps bad spirits away. Assuming Chucky counts as a dark entity, that should keep him out.” 
“ Did you tell someone else about Chucky?” Andy recalled, with curiosity. “.. and they believed you?” 
“ She was a friend of the family, a medium that my mom befriended some time after the mess. “ You sweetly clarified. “ When I get to tell you how it happened, you are not going to believe it.” 
He wasn’t seeing that coming, your life has been apparently way weirder than in his idealizations of you. 
“ That’s not fair, I’m supposed to have the weirdest stories for catching up! ” He playfully complained. '' I was chased four times by Chucky, winning in each and every single one of those, but each one gets weirder.” 
“ Let me awaken this little troublemaker so you can get up and tell me everything during our meal.” You proposed, sneaking close to pick up your cat. He didn’t want to be taken away from the comfy position receiving heat from the new human. “ He is fuzzy because he apparently likes to sleep with you, but I bet some wet food is gonna solve that.” 
“ Is he a Freddy for Fred Jones?” Kyle asked you. “ Andy talks about you every time I watch Scooby Doo with him.” 
“ Scooby Doo was my copying mechanism when I was being kidnapped by a serial killer threatening with killing my pregnant mother if i would dissobey him. That franchise is my life.” You affirmed for her. “ That being said, Freddy was rescued from a fire. During his first times here he used to scratch everything and wouldn’t let us sleep. He is a Krueger, not a Jones.” 
Andy laughed a bit harder with that last punchline. 
“ That 's growth, we are so old.”

taglist: @evansflowers
 As Steve pulled out of Forest Hills trailer park, something dark was growing in the Munson trailer. Unbeknownst to any of you ,when Vecna had killed Chrissy, it made an entrance to another world on the ceiling. Through that portal, Vecna was currently stalking his next victim.
At that very moment, someone else was on the prowl in Hawkins. Jason, a school bully, and jock was searching for your best friend. Eddie was not only a suspect in the eyes of the law, but he was also a suspect to any manchild who considered Eddie a freak. People who had never even met Eddie were now making assumptions as they went on some messed-up hunt. Despite being ignorant to these facts, you began to feel uneasy on the way to Ms. Kelley’s home. Your hair stood straight up and you felt a little woozy, Steve noticed this as he watched you shift uncomfortably in your seat a few times.
“Hey, are you feeling okay?” His tone was soft and caring making it hard for you to not just spew every anxious feeling you had, but Max was right there. She was sitting in the back seat trying her best to stay calm.
So you shook your head up and down and turned the music up a little more. The upbeat band playing Bruce Springsteen’s sad lyrics seemed to fit exactly how you felt at the moment. Steve looked at you with confusion, he could tell something was off but he kept quiet. Every once in a while, he would glance at you to make sure that your face hadn't gotten any paler in color.
Soon Max was pointing to the street where the school therapist lived. Ms. Kelley wasn’t new to Hawkins High so you had remembered talking to the woman about your issues with abandonment. You remembered her fondly since she helped majorly the summer you met Max because she understood you felt a strong connection to the young girl. Since graduating last year, you didn’t have the funds to see any other therapist or counselor. Ms. Kelley knew this and told you to visit her anytime you needed advice. She knew why you cared so much for Max, you saw so much of the young girl in you, so she gave you tiny tips on how to help process some of the loss. When Max had moved to the trailer park, Billy had just recently died at the battle at Starcourt. However, you weren’t told about what killed him in that battle till a few days ago. Lost in thought you felt Steve park the car. Max was already out of the car and the sound of the door slamming snapped you back to the real world.
“Hey, can I come with you?” You finally spoke up your voice a little horse from the anxiety that filled your body. Max looked at you wanting so badly to say no. She knew that there were secrets hidden from you that Ms. Kelley knew all about. However, when she saw the look on your face it made her nod in agreement.
“You two stay in the car, we’ll be right back.” You smiled at the two boys. A soft smile that you hoped would help ease Steve’s worries, but it didn’t work. He was still worried as ever as he watched you walk away with Max. He was trying hard to think of what to even say to help you feel a little more at ease. However, he knew that it normally got worse from here on out.
After a few knocks Ms. Kelley answered the door, her face showing both confusion and a smile. Max didn’t know this woman was your safe haven when you had dealt with your mother coming back to you after months of no contact. Your mother stayed with you for two weeks before she decided to run off again. You had assumed she had up and left because she was using again but you could never be sure, and Ms. Kelley told you often to not worry about things out of your control. How funny that advice was now since it appeared everything was currently out of your control and you couldn’t stop worry
“Hi! Can we come in Ms. Kelley? There are just some things Max needed to talk about with you and I came for morale.” You smiled big at the slightly older woman and she nodded in reply. Ms. Kelley opened the door and stepped to the side as Max and you walked in.
You watched as Max followed the therapist downstairs to a room where you had been several times. Max squeezed your hand real quick before following, you took that as a sign to begin looking for some type of office key. After the two walked downstairs you began to look around the living room. You were slowly opening drawers hoping that you made no noises. Each drawer became a dead end, being unable to find anything, you moved to the next room. There was a kitchen and dining room in one and you decided to try the drawers attached to the nearest table. As you began to slide open the drawer you heard footsteps coming from right next to you. Quickly you closed the drawer to try your best not to look suspicious, but once you looked up you breathed a sigh of relief.
“Don’t scare me like that!” You whispered to Max as she smirked. Your face reminded her of the night she brought out her old Michael Myers mask and scared you.She got close to a glass bowl on the table nearby.She then pulled out a key labeled office and you both looked at each other with wide eyes.
While Max and you were on a mission the two boys in the car were bickering once more. Dustin was baffled by the way Steve had acted when Nancy showed up. He knew that Steve still cared for his ex but it was starting to annoy the younger one that Steve couldn’t see what was in front of him. Somehow Steve had two girls, Robinand you, in his life, both of them cute and fun to talk to, yet he only had eyes for Nancy. He wanted Steve to move on and find someone else because it was clear that Nancy had done just that. It drove the younger boy bonkers watching his best friend just be oblivious to all of it.
“So, we going to talk about it?” Dustin spoke in a clearly annoyed tone that Steve wasn’t fully paying attention to.
“Huh?” Sorry, talk about what?” Steve turned to his little best friend with a confused look on his face.
“Your temporary insanity earlier today when you basically threw yourself at Nance?” Once her name left Dustin’s lips, Steve began to roll his eyes. He knew what Dustin was trying to get at, it was all he ever heard from the young boy. How he needed to move on cause she moved on too.
“Okay first off, that's not what happened.”
“Pretty sure that’s what happened. It was pretty public. There were, like, a lot of witnesses.”
“Are you implying I still have a thing for Nance?”
“No, I’m not implying, I’m stating. And as it relates to your steadfast refusal to date Robin, it’s pretty much the only logical explanation.”
“That’s not the only one and as for Nance, I was just trying to protect a friend.” Steve had told no one about what Robin had confessed to him the night Russians kicked their ass and drugged them. He knew it was something that wasn’t his right to ever tell anyone. Some days it drove him nuts because he just wanted to talk to someone about it. But he was very aware of the fear that was in Robin's eyes when she had said “hunt the town freak” to Eddie Munson earlier.
Dustin began to nod his head in a sarcastic manner before deciding to finally bring you into the conversation. “Do you think Y/N thought you reacted to Nance as if she was a “friend” you were just trying to “protect”?” His eyes grew wide each time he used air quotes to prove his point. “Because if I was her, I would assume you loved Nance.”
Steve slouched back into the driver's seat and ran his fingers over his lips in frustration. Dustin watched as his best friend began to overthink everything he had done today. However, neither of them had time to process any of it because you and Max were doing a weird walk/run toward Steve’s car. The sight caused Steve and Dustin to look at each other confused. As usual, the boys questioned everything and it took Max and you yelling for Steve to drive for him to finally get it. Max and you sighed in relief as the house began to disappear out of view. Slouching your shoulders down, a feeling of guilt began to course through your body. Ms. Kelley was a good person, so to steal from her like this made it feel wrong, but this was life or death. You knew that you needed this information to clear your best friend, but the guilt still weighed on you as you caught your breath.
Closing your eyes you began to focus as much as you could on the sounds of the car. Steve would glance at you every few moments to make sure you were still breathing. When your heartbeat finally felt like it was going back to normal Lucas Sinclair's voice was heard over the walkie-talkie Dustin was carrying.
“Lucas? Where the hell have you been?” Dustin questioned his voice raised in pitch from anger.
“Just listen! Are you looking for Eddie?” As Lucas mentioned Eddie’s name you felt your heartbeat rise once more.
“Yeah and we found him no thanks to you.”
“You found him?!’
“He’s at a boathouse on Coal Mill Road. Don’t worry, he’s safe.”
“You guys know he killed Chrisy right?”
Once you heard that, it appeared that Dustin was on the same page as you as he yelled “that’s bullshit” something you had muttered under your breath but Dustin had simply said out loud. The comment caused everyone to feel tense in the car and Dustin to bicker with Lucas. Max, annoyed with all of this, grabbed the walkie-talkie out of Dustin’s hand.
“Lucas, you’re so behind it’s ridiculous, okay? Just meet us at the school. We’ll explain later.” Her tone was strong and it calmed you down a bit. You knew that if anyone could get through to Lucas it was going to be Max. There was a bond the two of them shared, something you sensed from how she spoke of him.
“I... I can’t. I think some real bad shit’s about to go down.” You could hear the fear in Lucas’ voice and it caused your face to feel numb and tingly. Because you agreed with him, something about all of this didn’t feel right.
“What are you talking about? What bad shit?” Max was confused, there was always bad shit going down.
Out of nowhere, you heard another voice come from the walkie-talkie. The male voice was calling for Lucas and the radio went silent. As the rest of the car began to yell for Lucas, you felt a rush of heat rise in your body. Voices of worry began to play through your head as if they were on a tape recorder. You stayed silent the whole ride to Hawkins High, Steve would keep looking at you and then at Max in a frantic way. He had no idea how to help you when he could see that you were in a clear state of terror. One part of him wanted to just take you away from all of this,drive the car somewhere else that wouldn’t bring you this much despair. But the other part of him knew you wouldn’t allow it. Whatever your bond was with Eddie, it solidified where you stood in this fight. Not just that but you cared so deeply for Max and he knew deep down that something was going on with the young girl. He knew from past experiences with the Upside Down that this wasn’t even the tip of the iceberg. More bad shit and horrible information were going to come to light soon. All he could do was watch as your mind tried to process all of this far too fast and hope that you would let him be some type of comfort when it all began to get too heavy.
Pulling up to Hawkins High, the sky grew darker and the wind colder. Thanks to Eddie, you knew of a way to get into the school without technically breaking and entering. You lead everyone to a certain door that was a little too easy to open. As you all began to walk down the hall, with flashlights in hand, the walkie-talkie started to go off again. This time it was Robin confirming that Nancy was a genius and the lead wasn’t a shot in the dark. However, now wasn't the best time to be having this conversation because currently, silence was key.
“Wait… What are you doing?” Robin's voice was now filled with concern.
“Breaking and entering in the school to retrieve confidential and extremely personal files.” You had noticed when Dustin knew he was doing something wrong or sketchy his voice got lower.
“Can you repeat that?” Clearly, Robin was concerned and you wondered how many times she had witnessed the duo that is Steve and Dustin on a mission.
“Just get your ass over here, stat! We’ll explain everything.” Dustin replied fast and put the walkie back in his bag. All of you were now crowding around Ms. Kelley’s office as Max opened it with the key she found.
Once the group entered the dark room, Max made her way to the files and you to the desk. Steve and Dustin were now talking about Watergate which caused you to furrow your brows.
Max saying “holy shit.” caused you to whirl your head her way and power walk to her side. “You found it?” You questioned as your eyes focused on the folder Max had in her hands.
“Yeah, and not just Chrissy’s file. Fred was seeing Ms. Kelley too.” Max’s words sent chills down your spine. What could all of this mean? Was every kid who ever saw Ms. Kelley now a possible Vecna victim? If that was true, then you were on the list but even worse, so was Max. Steve caught a glimpse of the way your face drained of color. He wasn’t sure what you just realized but he knew it hit you like a ton of bricks. As you shifted in your spot, Steve began to walk next to you, placing a hand on your shoulder. Reading each file it became clear that everyone had suffered the same ailments: headaches, nosebleeds, and nightmares. All of it was something you remember Max mentioning before. Never to the extent that it was being talked about here but you knew that Max kept some things private.
“Max, all of this stuff… you have…” Your voice was shaky causing Steve to realize what thought had drained you of color earlier. “Are you seeing this clock too?” You turned to face the redhead with a worried look covering your once sad expression. This was no time for you to be breaking down, if it was true, thenMax was chosen by this Vecna creep.
When she didn’t answer you questioned her again, you began to get more stern. “Max, hey! I know this is a lot but you gotta talk to me.” Again, she didn’t reply instead she began to walk out of the office, and so you wasted no time by following behind her. Max turned a corner and began to face an empty wall. Walking next to her, you took her hand and said her name once more. “Max, honey, what are you doing?” Max didn’t reply for a good few minutes, it was as if she was stuck in some trance. Steve began to get to her level and shake her shoulders, shouting her name trying his best to get her back to reality. It took a good 4 minutes before Max finally turned her head to look at Steve and you with confusion. “You can’t see it?” There was nothing there in front of you, so Steve and you shook your heads no. Dustin was now behind the three of you as Max began to explain what was there.
“It was here, right here. A grandfather clock.” She paused and you grabbed her hand a bit tighter. “It was so real.” The fear in her voice wasn’t something you had heard before. “And then when I got closer, suddenly it just… I woke up.”
“It was like she was in a trance or something. Exactly what Eddie said happened to Chrissy.” You finally spoke up as Dustin nodded his head in agreement.
Nancy and Robin were now running into place, right behind Dustin, making perfect timing. “That’s not even the bad part.”
Max was clearly on a mission as you watched her walk into the office again. The rest of you followed her into Ms. Kelley’s office, no one muttering a word.Soon she explained everything that was going on. That each victim had come to Ms. Kelley to talk of bad headaches, nightmares, and trouble sleeping. As Max explained each thing, you could tell she was talking from experience. The idea of her going through all this caused your body to feel heavy, and in response to that, you began to lean on Steve’s shoulder. He grabbed your hand gently, as you tried your best to not falter. Max went on about bad visions and how they began to get more intense until you were dead.
“Vecna’s Curse.” Robin blurted out with confidence causing Nancy to look at her and Max with fear.
“Chrissy’s headaches started a week ago. Fred’s six days ago. I’ve been having them for five days.” Max wasn’t actively crying but you could see water fill her eyes. As you placed your hand over your mouth, you let out a shuddering sigh. “I don’t know how long I have. All I know is that Fred and Chrissy, they both died 24 hours after their first vision. And I just saw that goddam clock so…” Max’s breath was now shaky and you quickly left Steve’s side to be at her’s. Steve felt his body go into a cold shock as you quickly moved from him to Max. He couldn’t even be mad at it because he too cared deeply for Max. “...looks like I’m gonna die tomorrow.” Before you could even think of saying a word, a distant clang could be heard from somewhere in the school. Everyone in the room turned their attention with a jump to where the noise had come from.
Steve looked around at everyone and his eyes landed on you for a few extra seconds. “Stay here.” All of you watched as he grabbed a lamp and made his way in a stealth-like manner to the noise. How he could be so charming at this exact moment was beyond you, so you allowed yourself to smile at the one thing that stayed constant. Once Steve had gotten enough distance, everyone followed behind him. You were doing your best to not overcrowd Max while still staying near her. As you all crept forward, another bang caused everyone to tense up once more. Footsteps began to rapidly approach and it felt like bracing for the impact of a waterfall. You watched as Steve held up the lamp ready to swing it as if it was a baseball bat. As the footsteps got closer all you could hear were screams, Steve was yelling at Lucas. Lucas was yelling at Steve. Dustin was just simply yelling.
“It’s me!” Lucas was screaming in an attempt to not get hit by a lamp.
“Lucas!” Max’s voice went high-pitched as she felt both excited to see him but still so filled with fear.
“Jesus! What’s wrong with you, Sinclair!” Steve was now yelling.
“I’m sorry!” Lucas responded out of breath and tried his best to calm down.
“I could’ve taken you out with this lamp!” Steve was now raising the lamp higher as he spoke. His dramatics changed as he tried his best to calm down from the anger and fear that flowed through his veins.
“Sorry, guys, I’m sorry!” Lucas was now panting. “I was…I was biking for eight miles.” You all watched as he held up his finger and began to shift from side to side. “Give me a second. Shit.” After a few deep breaths, he placed his hands on his hips and looked Steve straight in the eye. “We’ve got a code red.”
To which Steve replied with a confused “what?”.
“Dustin,” Lucas was now walking up to the curly-haired boy, his voice a little more controlled now that he was able to breathe somewhat better. “I’ve been with Jason, Patrick, and Andy and they’ve gone like totally off the rails. They’re trying to capture Eddie and they think you know where he is.” He took a deep breath and continued. “You’re in terrible danger.”
“All right. Yeah, that definitely sucks, but we have bigger problems than Jason now.” Dustin replied as he turned to face Max and you. He could see the new terror that began to wash over your once-relieved body. Because both he and you knew if those boys were after Eddie that this was going to end badly. Jason had always hated Eddie for being different and he hated you cause you encouraged it. However, Max was currently on a timeline for being the new victim of Vecna. The two people you cared for the most in life were in danger at the exact same time. You watched as Lucas let his gaze go to Max who was now looking so small. The fear covered her face, it was just impossible for her to hide anymore.
There was no possible way to debrief in a currently closed school so you all split up again and made your way to the Wheeler house. You remember being there once before when Nancy had a big birthday party as a kid. When you walked in, you realized it hadn’t changed much even after all those years passing. Ever since the group had found out Max was cursed and only had hours to live, she had become silent. All of you split into groups when you arrived at Nancy’s house. You, Robin, and Nancy made your way to her kitchen, Nancy was making a call to someone at the Hawkins High newspaper. Steve, Dustin, Lucas, and Max were all in the basement trying to figure out if they could piece any information together. It had gotten very late, and everyone was running on fumes from lack of sleep.
Nancy and Robin told you all about Victor Creel, a legend that you had heard of as a child, and how he was currently locked up at Pennhurst. Nancy had spoken to some of the newspaper staff to get fake transcripts from the University of Notre Dame. They asked you if you wanted to join but you needed to stay with Max, even though the adventure of it all seemed thrilling. With Max being cursed by something that could just enter her mind, it felt best for you to stay with her. In the middle of explaining some of the plans, Nancy received a call from the newspaper staff. They would be faxing over the transcripts once it was morning. Nancy and you watched as a tired Robin was falling asleep on her forearm. The two of you looked at each other with a smile and decided to get everyone on the course for sleep. Nancy woke up Robin softly and the girl responded with a soft smile. It was actually interesting watching them interact, it seemed that Robin had really won Nancy over.
As you went down to the basement, each person tried to find a comfortable place to rest. You decided to grab a tiny couch pillow and lay on the ground closer to Max. The young girl hadn’t moved from the desk that belonged to Nancy’s younger brother, Mike. Steve had noticed you getting settled on the floor and furrowed his brows. He was currently resting in the recliner right next to the spot on the floor you had chosen.
“Hey, did you wanna sleep up here?” He gave you a look of concern as he started to place the recliner back into the bottom of the chair. “I can lay on the floor, it’s no big deal.”
You shook your head with a small smile. “I’m oddly more comfortable on the floor. Plus, I want to be close to this one.” You tilted your head towards Max who was in her own world. Steve shrugged wanting to protest but he could see how you already made up your mind. Your body was facing Max, so he reclined the chair again and shifted his body, so he was able to keep an eye on the two of you. He watched as your breathing became a steadier pace before taking his cue to finally close his eyes.
Everyone only got a few hours of sleep and you woke up to find yourself facing Steve. His long arm draped over the side of the chair, his fingertips touching yours. Your heavy, tired eyes opened slowly as you kept your eye on his fingers. A smile crept on your face as you let his touch comfort your aching body. His face was smushed against a pillow and his mouth was open a tiny bit. Bedhead for Steve wasn’t the same thing it was for everyone else, somehow his hair was still luscious even in this state. It was as if he could feel you examining each feature of his face because his eyes opened to see a soft smile on your face. A part of him wasn’t sure if he was dreaming but he realized that if he was, you wouldn’t be down on the floor. He wished that the two of you could just go back to the morning he woke up to the smell of pancakes. Both of you just smiled at each other, cheeks pink from the rush of blood, until footsteps could be heard coming down the basement steps.
Making their way down the steps Robin and Nancy began to let everyone know the plan that was in motion. You and Steve sat up looking at the two girls, who were now explaining more of what you had heard earlier. Victor Creel was currently locked up in Pennhurst, and they were going to pretend they were writing a paper on his condition. The asylum, of course, had said no to them coming but they had one more trick up their sleeve. Robin and Nancy were going to meet with the director at 3 o'clock. All of you had questions, far too many, and you all were hoping to get them answered by Victor himself. You watched as Steve began to shuffle through the papers with a confused look on his face before asking where his transcript was. The face Nancy made in return for that remark, showed that she had no plan of involving Steve in this mission. Instantly, he was crushed at the whole idea of being left out again and stuck with the kids. He had assumed that you were going with Robin and Nancy, possibly the getaway driver. Your attention, however, was on Max, the girl hadn’t gotten any sleep according to Lucas. He made a good point that he too wouldn’t be able to sleep if he knew what she did. It made your heart feel heavy, you just wanted to take all of this pain away from her.
Nancy and Robin made their way to Nancy's room, you watched as Steve followed them asking why he wasn’t involved. You looked to Max who was still deep in thought and decided to make your way to where Robin, Steve, and Nancy had gone. As Steve tried his best to convince Nancy that he was perfect for the job, Robin and you began to look at all of Nancy’s things. Her room was truly the picture-perfect room of an ordinary teenage girl. All pink and filled with photos of friends and family, as you looked at the walls you saw old photos of her and Barb. Sadness filled your mind as you thought of how hard it must’ve been for Nancy to lose her best friend. Robin, however, was standing in front of her poster of Tom Cruise as Steve went on about how he refused to be the babysitter again.
“I can’t do anything here, Nance. Maybe I can be helpful with this asylum director dude. I don't know I could like turn on my…my charm” Steve was now snapping his fingers as Nancy barely listened to a word he was saying. She was too busy trying to find clothes for her and Robin. You kept an eye on Steve finding the way he was reacting to be oddly adorable. All through high school, you were told how he was such a smooth talker. Now you were seeing this anxious boy who still could be so damn charming. The people you were currently in a room with, had never really spoken to you while you all went to the same school. You had tutored Robin once a long time ago and were meant to tutor Steve but he bailed on you. Nancy and you were always split up and added to different groups since it wasn’t fair to have the both of you work together. You wonder if any of them remembered what it was like before all of this.
“Not the charm we need,” Nancy replied quickly.
“Ouch.”
“No, I just,” Nancy sighed and continued “I did a little digging last night and it turns out this Dr. Hatch is a distinguished fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and a Harvard visiting scholar, okay? This is a lifelong student of the world. If we’re going to win him over, we’re going to have to convince him we are too. Like him, we are our academic scholars.”
Robin turned to you and Steve holding up a music box. “Holy shit. There’s a little ballerina in here.” It was clear she could care less about this mission and you could see that this made Steve even more upset.
“Academy scholar? She’s given you an academic scholar vibe? Yeah.” His comment made Robin sigh and you let out a tiny giggle.
Nancy was now pulling clothes out of her closet. “No, but she will.” The outfit she held up was light pink and had a frilly collar. It was something that Robin would never think of wearing.
“Oh, please, tell me you’re joking.” Robin was now in distress and completely aware of the makeover about to take place. Her shoulders slouched at the idea of having to wear such a thing.
“Also, you will not be the only one with the kids. Y/N is staying because she wants to be with Max. I’m sorry, Steve, but you aren’t coming with us.” Nancy was now picking out an outfit for herself and flinging it on the bed. Making her way over to her vanity had makeup neatly organized in rows.
Steve looked at you a bit shocked, he had assumed that you were going to be a part of this mission. You smiled at him as you saw his expression change into something softer. You led him out of the room as you wished Robin good luck on the makeover, which Nancy looked very excited to do. The two girls made you wonder, they had clicked so fast and despite seeming like opposites, they really got along.
“I can’t leave Max, it just didn't feel right.” You stated as he followed you down the steps into the kitchen. “She hasn’t spoken since figuring out that she has this curse and I'm sure I won’t be much help…” You trailed off before Steve stopped you in your tracks, his hands on both your shoulders as he looked you in the eyes.
“Y/N, you’ve already been a huge help. You helped find Eddie and you knew a way into the school. Plus, the kids really like being around you. Seeing you with Max and how she doesn’t smile for anyone other than you and Lucas, you’re really good with all of them.” His words were sincere and they made you feel calm for a moment. But then it all came rushing back, every anxious thought you had in the past few days. Each worry talking to you at the same time made your whole body feel crowded.
“Yeah, but I can’t help her against this monster. It can just enter her head whenever it wants and I can’t do a damn thing about it. I could help with her mother or when she was so wrecked over Billy's death. This is something I’m not sure I can save her from. Steve, the two most important people in my life are in danger.” Your breath began to quicken and tears filled your eyes. The idea of losing Eddie and Max made everything seem so dark.
Steve watched as heavy tears fell on your delicate features. His hands were now off your shoulders and his thumbs began to wipe all the tears he could from your face. Despite knowing that you were at some point going to feel dread and fear, he hadn’t realized that it would be this intense. Words failed him as he watched you begin to sob in silence, pulling you into his chest he wrapped his arms around your frame. His hands ran through your hair as he did his best to bring you some kind of comfort. You held onto him as your tears soaked his shirt, the way he held you made you feel safe for the first time in hours. It wasn’t fair how right he felt to you, how he could somehow calm your anxieties with just a simple embrace. The two of you just stood there, his cheek planted against your head as your tears began to slowly stop.
“I can’t fix any of this, but I can be here for you if you let me.” As he spoke you looked up into his eyes. His iris was two shades of brown, one looked just like honey and it made you feel a little weak in the knees. You weren’t sure if it was how his strong arms held you or how beautiful he looked when he was sincere. Placing your hands on his chest you nodded, hoping he understood that you were willing to let him in. He knew exactly how you felt, it was just years ago that he was able to protect the kids with just a baseball bat. Each year it has just gotten more difficult and his need to protect the kids grew. As you both fixed your eyes on each other, you suddenly heard someone clear their throat, causing you both to whip your heads to see it was Dustin. He was staring at the both of you, with a smile that was similar to the one you had seen on Max when she saw Steve in your trailer. You looked at Steve once more pulling away, you smiled at him before making your way down the stairs, knowing it had been far too long since you last checked on Max. You had left Steve with pink cheeks and Dustin with a goofy grin.
“Nice!” Dustin spoke, his tone not quiet at all causing you to hear it and smirk.
The moment of tenderness caused you to smile the whole way down the stairs, a cheesy grin, you were glad no one else was able to see. When Lucas was in sight you quickly tried your best to look a little more resigned. You sat next to him as the both of you watched Max. She wouldn’t stop writing and you weren’t sure what she was writing about. All of it made you anxious and it was obvious that Lucas wasn’t too fond of it either. The world was really sick for putting Steve Harrington into your life at a time when two people you cared for the most were battling complete assholes. How was it that while you were worrying about Eddie and Max, you were also wondering how soft Steves's lips must be? Your mind wanders to the boy in question who was now making his way down the stairs.
Hold me in this wild, wild world 'Cause in your warmth I forget how cold it can be And in your heat I feel how cold you can get”

‘photoshopping my boyfriend’
(tiktok prank)
character(s) : bakugou katsuki, todoroki shouto, midoriya izuku (bnha)
PART TWO — PART THREE
legend : [Y/N = your name] they/them pronouns used, quirk not specific
headcanon type : crack, fluff (x reader)
note(s) : inspired by this tiktok— it was too funny to skip this chance of making this post 💀
»»————- ♡ ————-««
Tumblr media
bakugou katsuki
you wanted to do this prank, because you wanted to see if he’d notice even the most subtle of changes to his face
again, it’s a pretty harmless prank— plus, you wouldn’t actually post the edited picture online anyway 💀
it’d be funny to see it
so, you slightly alter the selfie of you and katsuki, by enlarging his forehead ever so slightly— and you’d only alter it more from that moment onwards
[you’ve sent an attachment]
Y/N : “kats, i found this picture in my camera roll, should i post it? you look so good ! (๑>◡<๑)”
and katsuki being well,, himself— responds rather quickly to your message even though he kinda wanted to leave you on read
kats ♡ : “ain’t that your fucking wallpaper 🤨”
Y/N : “nah this is a different one, should i post?”
he leaves you on read for a bit, and it seems to be that he was typing for quite some time
kats ♡ : “abso-fucking-lutely not. i don’t remember looking like that.”
Y/N : “but you look fine! want me to change it a bit?”
kats ♡ : “do whatever 🙄”
and because you’re an absolute menace to your boyfriend, you make his forehead bigger— not to the point that he’d notice though
[you’ve sent an attachment]
Y/N : “how’s that now?”
and then you were left on read 😔 because katsuki was currently on his way to your room and he’s not pleased
“DID YOU PHOTOSHOP MY FOREHEAD?” he slams your door open, and you swore you could’ve heard it crack just a bit
“no??”
“stop fucking lying- i have that exact photo in my gallery, and it looks NOTHING like that atrocious thing”
you burst out laughing at his reaction, and he’s just standing next to your bed like 🧍‍♂️
“i will never take another picture with you again if you—”
“as if i was actually going to post that picture” he wasn’t serious when he said he won’t be taking pictures with you
but at least he’ll sleep well knowing that you won’t post such.. horrendous picture of his massive forehead on the internet for the world to see
but you posted the tiktok anyway and it blew up to katsuki’s distaste
Tumblr media
todoroki shouto
okay okay, so you think that this would be absolutely hilarious— but you just wanted to see if he’d notice if you photoshopped him
but a part of you thinks he wouldn’t, or if he’d just pretend that he didn’t notice— regardless, it would still be funny
so, you select a random selfie of you and shouto (one that you both looked good in) and you ever so slightly edit his forehead
you kind of wanted to edit his scar but for many different reasons, you decided not to
[you’ve sent an attachment]
Y/N 🤍 : “shou 🤩‼️‼️ look at what i found, should i repost this as a throwback? you look so good it’s not even funny”
he replies rather quick, i mean he always does— but he replies after 30 seconds
shou, the lover boy 🤍 : “you mean we. we look good.”
Y/N 🤍 : “oh, we look good 🤠 so?? what do you think? repost or nah?”
shou, the lover boy 🤍 : “sure thing.”
shou, the lover boy 🤍 : “hm, something looks different. i just don’t know what it is. could you add a small filter to it?”
and you think, ‘oh! so he does notice’ which is quite interesting
Y/N 🤍 : “sure ^^”
you edit his forehead even more, the original picture looking a lot more different compared to the edited one but for some reason, it didn’t look unnatural
[you’ve sent an attachment]
Y/N 🤍 : “so, i added a small filter onto it, does that look better?”
he’s seen typing for a bit
shou, the lover boy 🤍 : “hm, no filter it is. i think the unfiltered one is better.”
[you’ve sent an attachment]
Y/N 🤍 : “i removed the filter, does that look better?”
but then you edited his forehead even more 😭 please this was killing you, you were wondering if you didn’t edit the picture enough— you’re just glad you aren’t in the same room as him
shou, the lover boy 🤍 : “perfect. see you tomorrow <3”
you posted the tiktok’s results, and it blows up in less than a day— gaining a lot of views because
a. it’s shouto— a common guest on your tiktoks, b. his ‘obliviousness’ c. because of the way you edited his forehead, and how it just got bigger and bigger 💀
the comments were really funny, and nice to look at “PLEASE IS HE THAT OBLIVIOUS??” “bruhh he definitely knew something 💀” “there’s no way he wasn’t playing along”
turns out, shouto knew you were photoshopping his forehead for shits and giggles— it’s because he has that exact selfie as his wallpaper
he’ll get you back ;)
Tumblr media
midoriya izuku
your boyfriend is insanely observant, so!! you wanted to test if he’d notice even the slightest of changes to a picture
and plus, you think it would be funny to witness
you select one of the better pictures of you and izuku— but most especially, a picture where izuku looked phenomenal
compared to the other two, you edited his freckles— you’re basically going to gradually add more freckles to him
[you’ve sent an attachment]
Y/N 🍀 : “hey zuku! look at what i found deep in my gallery. should i repost this as a throwback? i wanna know your thoughts <3”
your notification makes his heart race faster, so he’s quick to reply
except,, it took a bit longer for him to hit send
zuku (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) : “you look so good <3 but hm.. something looks different ^^; i just can’t put my finger on it..”
Y/N 🍀 : “oh— perhaps it’s the lighting?”
zuku (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) : “maybe it is! could you maybe put a filter on it? i mean,, if you think there should be one! not that the picture needs one ;;”
cute.
you add more freckles to the picture, and added a slight filter to make it less suspicious, and you hit send
[you’ve sent an attachment]
Y/N 🍀 : “there! i only added a slight filter to it, is this okay?”
zuku (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) : “oh no, i look like a kardashian now ^^;; definitely not myself.”
zuku (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) : “i’m not sure what’s different! i mean.. the picture couldn’t have been taken that long ago for me not to remember what i even looked like— omg, what if i did forget 😦”
he sounded so concerned about the slight changes— which is to be expected of him
he was actually freaking out through the screen 💀
so then, you decided to add even more freckles to his cheeks
Y/N 🍀 : “ok ok sooo— i removed the filter, does this look better? lmk <3”
it takes a moment for him to finally respond, and he’s seen going on and off with typing— since the typing bubble kept disappearing and reappearing.
zuku (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) : “Y/N..”
zuku (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) : “is it just me or”
zuku (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) : “do i have more freckles in this picture 😦”
you flop onto the ground in hysterics, laughing at his message and you’re hoping that he wouldn’t hear you laugh this hard
after a few hours, you post the tiktok— and it blows up, gathering a good amount of likes and views
the comments consisted of “the fact that he was he thinking so hard about the picture 💀” “LMAOO WHY CAN I IMAGINE HIS REACTION WHEN HE REALIZED” “nooo the way the typing bubble kept disappearing and reappearing 😭”
your boyfriend sends you a text after the tiktok blows up— basically, he saw the video (somehow 💀)
zuku (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) : “i’m glad i wasn’t imagining things ^^;; turns out you were just editing more freckles onto the picture 😃 it looked so real!! oh, and i’m coming over to your place, see you!! <3”
basically— having an observant boyfriend like izuku is fun

Hey could you please write something with reader's ex leaking some private pictures you two took when you were together just because he's jealous of you and tom, so when tom hears about what happened he is so upset that someone could be this low, he's not even jealous, he is just so mad that he could cry
A/N: Thank you for sending this in, I hope you enjoy! 💕
Warnings: Swearing, mentions of sex, leaking of nudes (this is never okay, I do not condone this behaviour), talks of bad relationships, mentions of stalking (do not read if you are uncomfortable).
You and Tom had been together for just over a year and a half, it had been amazing, you absolutely adored each other and everyone could see it. There was only one negative in your relationship and that came with your ex.
He was an incredibly jealous human being, awful in every way. You broke things off with him after two years of putting up with his behaviour. You'd not been allowed to have male friends, the relationship you had with the men Tom lived with was strange for you at first, at every turn you expected Tom to get angry about how close you were getting. It never happened, Tom adored the relationship you had with the boys and it was quick to reassure you of that fact when you opened up to him about it.
Unfortunately, although he claimed he wasn't in love with you, he couldn't let you go. He was so jealous when he found out you'd moved on that he started stalking your social medias, leaving comments on your posts which led to you blocking him. Of course, this didn't work, he made new accounts in order to find out what you were doing, leaving nasty comments on posts you made to a point where you simply stopped posting as often.
He was tiring and for a while you worried he'd find you, approach you but he never did. You'd been on edge for a short time after making your relationship with Tom public due to the comments he'd leave on your posts. You wondered whether or not he'd ever get over it, let you go but he seemingly wasn't going to anytime soon. It was tiresome, truly but you'd learned to live with it, you continued to block the accounts he made, Tom personally emailing the social media companies in hopes they could put a stop to him but to no avail.
You travelled with Tom a lot, most of the time unless you had family commitments that kept you homebound. This was due to your job and the way it worked, you never needed to be in an office and you could work from anywhere in the world. Book editing meant you had freedom. It made you feel safe, knowing Tom was never far away and when he was filming you could spend time with one of the boys and it brought a huge comfort to you.
You were back in London, in Tom's shared house after a long stretch in the states, you were happy to be back home, have your home comforts. You had been in and out of sleep for the past hour, your phone buzzing like crazy which had resulted in you turning it off, not ready to face whatever it was so early in the morning. That was all well and good until Tom's phone started half an hour later.
"Tom." You lightly shook him in his sleep and he mumbled incoherently in response. "Tom?" You tried harder.
"Y/N, go back to sleep." He grumbled as he pulled you into his chest as his phone started again. You pushed against his chest and his eyes snapped open.
"Tom your phone." You stated and Tom groaned before rolling over and mindlessly fishing for the device, turning it off as well. "It might be important." You said and he rolled back over to pull you into him.
"I'll deal with it later, it's my week off, it can wait." He mumbled into your neck as he sighed out. It didn't take him long to find sleep again as he held you against his chest, his warmth wrapping around you and making you drift into your own sleep.
You're not sure how long you'd been back asleep before you heard banging on your bedroom door. Tom groaning as he squeezed your body and ignored the knocks, hoping whichever boy it was would go away.
"Tom." Harrison's voice pulled you both from your sleepy state. He sounded worried, not his usual calm and chilled out self as he banged on the door again. "You need to get up." He said frantically.
"Fuck off Harrison, I'm tired." Tom shouted back as you sat up and ran a hand over your face. Tom protesting as you sat against the headboard trying to come to. "Darling, come back." He begged, almost childishly, you were about to respond when Harrison piped up again.
"Tom, mate seriously. Get up, it's important." He tried and Tom groaned again before sitting up next to you. "Right, I'm coming in." Haz shouted before opening your bedroom door, phone in hand and face paler than usual.
"Haz what is so important that we need to get up at," Tom started as he checked his watch. "7:30 in the morning."
"You need to check your phones." He said as he threw his phone in your direction. With furrowed brows you picked it up. "I'm so sorry Y/N/N." He said and Tom was quick to grab his phone, turning it on.
"What do you mean? Haz it's early and I've not woken up yet, what's going on?" Tom asked as you scrolled Haz's phone, quiet as a mouse, face dropping. You flicked though the series of pictures that had made their way to twitter, complete and utter disbelief hitting you.
"Her ex." Harrison said as Tom's phone finished booting up, numerous missed calls from his publicist and twitter notifying him that he was trending. "Y/N/N, are you okay?" Harrison asked as he took in your figure.
"How long have these been up?" You asked, eyes not leaving his phone.
"I don't know they were posted overnight." Harrison sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. Numerous pictures of yourself from a couple of years ago staring back at you. Pictures with your ex in very compromising positions mocking you as you looked at them.
You nodded slowly as you swallowed down your emotions, you lifted a shaky hand to run through your hair. The internet had practically seen you for what you were, seen things that were meant for a significant other. Pictures of yourself you'd sent to your ex before things got bad between the two of you.
"Fucking piece of shit." Tom whispered as he himself saw what Harrison had been talking about. You felt like crying, the lump in your throat felt heavy as you tried to swallow it down, tears blurring your vision as you looked at the pictures.
"Sweetheart," Tom started as he took Harrison's phone from your hand and handed it back to his friend. Harrison took it and quickly made his way from your room, he knew you were seconds away from breaking down and you needed your privacy.
"I thought he'd deleted them." You whispered to more yourself than anyone else. "I sent those at the beginning of our relationship, fucking idiot." You said to yourself and Tom pulled you into him as your tears fell, silently crying.
"You're not an idiot. This is on him, not you. I'm so sorry." Tom said as he held you. "He had no right to do that."
"Is he ever going to leave me alone?" You cried and Tom's heart shattered there and then in his chest. This man had been a tormenter for years, too long and he had been cause for your tears numerous times over your relationship.
"He is. I swear to god this is the last time." Tom promised as he held you tight against him. His phone rang yet again and he huffed out in annoyance as he lifted an arm, reaching for his phone. "Hey, I'll call you back." Tom said into the phone, you didn't hear the response. "No, this is more important, I'll talk to you later." Tom snapped before hanging up the phone and throwing it to one side.
You became a sobbing mess, the world having seen parts of yourself you never wanted them to. You wanted to disappear off the face of earth, how were you supposed to go out in public after this? How were you supposed to face the people you knew? Your mind was racing, thoughts embedding themselves as you thought more about what would happen. You only cried harder as you thought about it.
Tom comforted you through your breakdown, reassuring you that it was going to be okay. He was in complete shock, how could someone do this? He wanted to cry as he held you, his heart was broken for the woman in his arms. He listened as you eventually calmed down, breathing steadying as you pulled away from his chest and wiped your face.
"I'm gonna do something about this, I promise." Tom comforted and he watched as a defeated look spread across your face.
"What does it matter? The world has seen them now." You smiled sadly, realising there was nothing you could do. He'd taken things to a knew level, one you would never hear the end of. "It's my own fault, I never should have sent them." You bit your lip as you tried to hold back more tears.
"No baby, don't do that. Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." He said as he sat across from you, taking your hands into his own. You couldn't look him in the eye, what if he hated you for this? This was something people could use against him now, what if he was disgusted you ever sent them to him.
"Stop it." Tom said softly, he could see you reeling, see your thoughts consuming you. He always knew, he said you had this look on your face and in your eyes, he knew you like the back of his hand. "Don't, I know what you're thinking and this isn't your fault."
"Look at me," Tom encouraged as he took your chin in his hand and forced your gaze into his own. "I promise this is going to be okay." He comforted and the look in his eyes was so comforting, so safe. No judgement, nothing hiding behind them, he was heart broken for you, you could see that in the tears that were slightly welling in his eyes.
It wasn't that you were against sending pictures to your partner, you and Tom had sent your fair share to each other. But you had learned a valuable lesson, you'd deleted every picture between you and your ex because that was the right thing to do, right? But he hadn't, he'd kept them and it made you uncomfortable as to why? Why would he want to keep those pictures? Why would he release them for the world to see?
"One minute." Tom said as he got off the bed and made his way into the en suite. You heard running water and you knew he was running you a bath, the evidence in the smell of flowers filling the room as he added your favourite bubble bath. He reappeared after a while.
"Come on. I've got some calls to make so you have a bath." He said as he held his hand out for you. Your heart warmed but you sighed as you took his hand and stood up.
"This isn't your mess to clean up Tom, it's mine." You mumbled and Tom shook his head as he tugged you slightly into the bathroom.
"If it affects you, it affects me. I'm gonna do everything I can to protect you. I love you okay? This isn't your fault and I'm gonna put an end to his shit, I've had enough. I'm gonna do something about him." Tom said and you smiled sadly.
"Thank you." You said and Tom smiled as he gestured for you to get into the bath.
"I'll be back in a while. I'm gonna talk to my legal team, see what I can do. You just try and relax and I want you to promise me that you'll stay off social media today." He said and you nodded as he smiled in comfort at you, kissing your forehead as he left the bathroom and made his way downstairs, grabbing his phone and putting some sweats on as he did.
"How is she?" Harrison asked, almost as soon as Tom entered the living room. Tom sighed as he turned to his best friend.
"She's upset. Blames herself for ever sending them." He said and Haz furrowed his brows.
"This is that twats fault. I swear if I ever see him again I'm gonna punch the smug look he always has right off his fucking face." Haz said.
"You'll have to get in line. I could kill him for what he's done." Tom said, he was so upset that you'd been put through this. "I want to fucking cry for her Haz, she's devastated." Tom continued as Tuwaine made his way into the room.
"That man is a fucking dick." He ranted straight away, Harry agreeing as he made his way in. "I can't believe the shit he's pulled." He continued.
"He's was so open about it, posting them onto his personal twitter account." Harry said in disbelief.
"I'm hoping that was his biggest mistake, what I can get him for." Tom said as he scrolled his contacts, pulling up the head of his legal team.
"What's the reaction online?" Haz asked carefully and Tuwaine shook his head.
"Half and half, some people are defending her, some are mocking her, others judging. It's a mess, people wanna know how Tom feels about it, some Y/N. I don't know, I tried not to look too much." Tuwaine sighed and Haz gave a tight nod as he grabbed his phone and vigorously started to type.
Tom left the room as he held the phone to his ear, on the phone with his legal team. Disappearing to talk in private. Harrison finally finished his typing as Tuwiane and Harry's phone pinged, Harrison's tweets coming to their attention.
There are no words for what has happened to my two best friends. What this man has done is disgusting and in no way Y/N's fault, please stop circulating the pictures. They were posted without her consent and she is hurting enough without people mocking her. Leave her alone, leave Tom alone. You will hear from them when they are ready.
Harry and Tuwaine retweeting the tweets before adding their own in support of you. You were close to them all, they were like your brother's.
"Do you think she'll be okay?" Harry asked.
"I don't know. This is just awful, I can't believe this has happened." Tuwaine said and watched as you appeared in the living room, you had your pyjama pants on, one of Tom's hoodies consuming your upper half as you looked sheepishly around the room.
"Y/N, I'm so sorry this has happened." Tuwaine said as he pulled you into his chest, squeezing you in comfort. "It's okay, we're gonna get you through this." He promised and your heart warmed as you hugged him back.
There was a part of you that wondered how much the boys had seen, it made you feel strange around them. What if they'd seen the pictures of your intimate parts?
"I didn't look." Tuwaine said, almost as if he could read your thoughts. "I saw enough to know when to stop scrolling, enough to know what had happened." He reassured as the boys voiced the same.
"Okay, he's gonna do some digging, see how far he can take it. See what he can get him done for." Tom said as he reappeared, you instantly leaving Tuwaine's arms for your boyfriends.
"Is it looking promising? That we can press charges of some sort against him?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, he's just said he'll see if he can take more action. He's already contacted twitter and they're trying to put a stop to the sharing of the pictures. The rest of the sites the same." Tom said as he squeezed you tightly, chin resting on top of your head.
Tom's phone rang again and he pulled it from his pocket, sighing as he watched his publicists name flash across his screen. This was the phone call he was dreading because his PR team didn't give a fuck how you looked, it was all about Tom. This wasn't about him.
"Hello?" Tom said as he answered, he couldn't ignore them forever.
"Tom! Finally!" He heard the shrill screech of her voice and he grimaced as he did. He moved you both to sit on the couch, sitting you on his lap as he cuddled you. "Have you seen the internet?"
"Yeah." Tom said, almost annoyed.
"Y/N needs to put out a statement." She said and Tom huffed, anger building in him.
"Y/N doesn't need to do anything. She will address this if and when she is ready." Tom snapped.
"Tom this will make it look bad for you if neither of you address it. Some people are speculating she's cheated." She replied and your stomach dropped as you overheard her. Tom shifted you onto the couch as he got up, placing a kiss to your lips as he disappeared again. You didn't need to hear any of this.
"I don't give a shit to be honest. She hasn't cheated, these photos where posted without her consent. This isn't about me, this is about her." Tom snapped.
"But Tom, you are Spiderman, your girlfriends nudes have been leaked, pictures of her with another man have leaked." She snapped back and Tom's anger hit breaking point.
"I don't care. I just told you that. I'm not going to force her to do a thing she doesn't want. I don't care that I am Spiderman, what happened to her is wrong and I'm gonna stand by her."
"About that." She said Tom's heart dropped.
"What?"
"We think it might be best if you distanced yourself from her. Make it look like a slight break." His publicist said and Tom's anger hit the roof at the suggestion. His publicist had never been fond of your relationship, they wanted him to date other celebrities, he'd fought them for ages on this front.
"Not happening. This is devastating for her, you really think I'm gonna abandon her? You know what? If anyone thinks negatively about me or her, that's on them because what has happened to her is wrong. How do you think that will look? I can just see the headlines. Tom Holland leaves girlfriend after nudes where leaked without her consent. What sort of a message does that send to people? Did you think about that? Or is this just you taking another opportunity to try and get me seen with someone you approve of?" Tom screamed, the house heard.
"I, I suppose I hadn't thought about that." She stumbled out quietly. Tom pinched the bridge of his nose as he tried to calm himself.
"I don't want to hear anything more about this. I'm going to deal with this my way. This isn't about me, this about her and sticking by her, which I am going to do. Whatever you might say. The fact that you hadn't thought about what I've just said makes clear to me that I can't trust you with this one and maybe I should be looking for someone I can." Tom snapped.
"I'm sorry, I'll leave you be. We'll try and do what we can here." She said and Tom didn't even feel guilty for blowing out on his publicist, the team could be the biggest wankers he'd ever met anyway.
"Tom, you'll get in trouble." You said as he made his way back into the room. He sat down next to you, pulling you into his side as he kissed your head.
"I don't care. This isn't about me, they need to realise that." Tom spoke into your hair. He pulled his phone from his pocket as he typed away, minutes later and everyone's phone had pinged, Tom had posted to Instagram. It was a picture of the two of you, one taken over winter in by the fire.
I'm sure many of you have seen what has happened. I'm devastated someone would do this, these pictures were posted without her consent. This man kept these pictures for over two years and then posted them. I ask that you stop judging and just think for a second how this would make you feel, if it was you in this position. She trusted him enough to send those images and he broke that trust, it's so wrong.
I ask that you stop posting the pictures, they are not yours or mine to post. There is no cheating involved, this man has caused enough distress for Y/N and I will not let it continue. I want you to support her and send love, it's what she deserves. She's my best friend and my lover, I stand by her 100% on this, I will not tolerate any abuse sent her way.
Please understand that she is not ready to address this and if she never is that's okay. She doesn't have to, this isn't her fault and she has nothing to apologise for. I love her and I hope to see your continued support of her, much love Tom x
He switched his phone off as he looked at you, he wanted nothing more than to make this go away for you, he wanted to hide you from the world, keep you safe. He had to swallow his tears again, heart aching from what this man has done to you, he couldn't stop himself pulling you tighter against him as he tried to keep his tears at bay..
"It's gonna be okay, I promise. I love you." He said into your hair as you wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled yourself to straddle him. You pulled each other impossibly closer and the boys smiled at the interaction, no matter what was going on the world, the two had each other. They had each other's backs and it was heart warming to see, to know they had all the support they would ever need in each other.

· I Don't Go In For Sweets ·
Request: by a lovely anon "set after the events of season 3. Tommy can't handle the company, he's still grieving and he has to be there for Charlie so Polly tells him she knows a girl from a good family to get married He ends up agreeing (aunt Pol can be very persuasive) but even though he's married, this new girl isn't considered as a wife. He doesn't really make any effort but his "wife" understands, he's a widowed father who lost his first wife only a year ago. However since they are...in this, she wants to make her time as enjoyable as possible for the both of them and for Charlie too. But no matter what Tommy makes it a point of honor to not let her in, to not let her replace Grace so he ignores her, he works more, tries to spend as little as possible in the house. Reader stays patient, it will be alright and Charlie is making her quite busy anyway. One night, Tommy comes home completely drunk and maybe a bit high too, he can't even make it to his office. Thankfully Reader is still awake, she takes care of him and Tommy just...melts at how gentle Reader is, he may be able to keep his distant while sober but it's much harder in his state. He admits to her how he's been feeling and all. Ever since that night, something changed, Tommy feels some comfort, some solace being around her, she accepts him wholly, even his flaws, the bad side of his business and she tries to provide some sort of safe place for when it gets too hard." (I edited the request because it was very long, but I kept all essential parts in there)
Author’s note: I loved loved loved writing this and it ended up being SUPER long, but I’m very happy with how it turned out. As always, I hope you like it and have the loveliest of days!
Warnings: season 3 SPOILERS sort of, but not really, still read at your own risk. Arranged marriage, mentions of alcohol and drugs, angst.
·
“Thomas, you may not be able to see it, but you’re breaking apart” Polly spoke with a sigh as she lit a cigarette after everyone was dismissed from a family meeting.
Everyone had left Tommy’s office in arrow house rather gaily after receiving their fair compensations for partaking in the whole Russian ordeal, all except Polly, who remained where she sat, wishing for a word with her nephew
Tommy merely scoffed at her concern before lighting his own cigarette and taking a puff “I’ll be alright”
“And Charlie?” Pol pressed knowing Tommy’s mourning was not only affecting him, but Charlie as well. “What about him?”
“He’s fine” He said before turning around to look through the window, ignoring his Aunt’s heavy stare.
“You take too much after your mother” she sighed half angry half sad “she too loved pretending everything was alright and I don’t need to remind you where that lead her”
Tommy sighed deeply, he knew he could fool anyone. Anyone but Polly. “We’ll manage”
“Consider my offer” Polly said standing up and making her way to the door “Y/n is a good girl from a good family” she persuaded before leaving the room.
Tommy sighed at his Aunt’s words, he wasn’t ready to get married again even when he knew the woman he would be marrying was a nice one. He felt like he was spitting on Grace’s grave and he hated himself for even considering the prospect, but he knew a mother figure would be good for Charlie.
He spent the rest of the day pondering about Polly’s suggestion and remembering his own childhood in the shadow of the absent tortured presence that his mother had been. It didn’t take him long to decide he didn’t want that for Charlie, so that same night he phoned Polly.
“I’ll do it” was all he said before hanging up. There was no need for more words, Polly would know exactly what he meant.
Exactly a week later, Tom was standing in the altar of a church that was significantly smaller than the one from his first wedding. The fact that everything about this wedding was so obscenely different from his first did soothe his guilt a bit. And as he stood there he couldn’t keep his mind from traveling to the days leading up to his wedding to Grace. She had made sure everything was perfect and had made an effort to invite every single relative she could think of. She remembered her rambling on an on about fabrics, insisting that everything ought to be perfect when he in all honestly couldn’t care less, he just wanted to marry her.
All his thoughts vanished away with a poof when Y/n came into sight. And what a sight she was. She had insisted on doing her own makeup and on pinning flowers to her hair to compliment her headpiece and her elegant, yet simple white dress flowed almost mystically as her father gave her away. She had never imagined she would be marrying someone she didn’t know, but she wanted to look her best for getting married is not something people do everyday.
When she stood in the altar, she offered her to be husband a smile which he did not return, instead turning his attention to the priest before them. She mirrored his actions, her heart beating violently under her chest as the priest began speaking.
It all felt like a blur, she could swear it had only been a second since her father had given her away and yet, the priest had already uttered the dreaded “you may now kiss the bride”
Tommy barely brushed his lips against hers and soon the sound of everyone clapping invaded her ears. They had a small party afterwards in Y/n’s former house. Her parents had invited pretty much all of their acquaintances while tommy had only invited his close relatives.
When night fell Tommy was more than ready to leave “Are you ready to go?” was one of the few sentences he uttered to his now wife that night.
She again offered him a smile before saying “yeah just let me say goodbye”
The drive to arrow house was tense, although Y/n didn’t know Thomas very well she would tell he was unhappy. She wondered about what to say to him, but couldn’t come up with anything good enough and soon enough they were pulling over in front of Tommy’s stately home.
“Charlie must already be asleep, but I'll introduce you tomorrow” he said opening Y/n’s door for her.
“It’s alright” she said looking at him, not quite knowing what to do next.
“Your parents sent some of your belongings, I've already asked the maids to take them up to your-our room” he said
“Thank you, Thomas” she smiled as she walked into the big house not yet feeling close enough to him to call him Tommy.
His name falling from her lips caused an echo of bittersweet emotions to stir inside him but he masked it perfectly well as she introduced Y/n to the maids that went to the door to take their coats.
“Frances here will show you the way to the room” he said after having made introductions.
“This way, Mrs” Frances politely said.
Y/n began following her but stopped when she didn’t hear Tommy’s footsteps behind her own.
“Are you not coming?” she asked turning to look at him.
“Maybe in a bit” was all he said before he walked away down one of the many spacious hallways of the house.
After Y/n made herself comfortable in the room and changed into her nightgown she took the time to peek around the room like one always does when one is a strange place. After familiarizing herself with it she laid down in the big bed. She was nervous, she knew what happened on wedding nights. A small chuckle stopped at her lips when she recalled the stories her close already married girlfriends told her. If she hadn’t married a complete stranger she too would be looking forward to it.
Her thoughts ended up luring her to sleep after a while despite her nerves and the night went by in a ridiculously fast flash. The next morning she woke up alone and after getting ready she made her way downstairs. Tommy and Charlie were already in the dining room when she entered it.
“good morning” she said
Charlie immediately turned his attention to her, his eyes widening while his dad merely glanced at her while he muttered a “Good morning “ of his own.
Y/n sat down next to Tommy while he cleared his throat “charles, this is Y/n. We got married yesterday so she’ll be living with us from now on”
Charlie merely nodded in understanding before playing around with his food.
A tense air flooded breakfast until Tommy stood up, having barely touched his food and spoke turning to look at Y/n “I have to go now, if you need anything feel free to ask Frances”
“Alright” Y/n replied feeling a bit disappointed, she would love to get to know him, but she already knew it was going to be difficult.
“I have to go too” Charlie announced in a timid voice, interrupting Y/n’s thoughts. Despite her disappointment she understood, maybe he was just shy and his dad just reticent. They had lost a wife and a mother after all.
The first few days after that, Charlie avoided her nearly as much as his father did and Y/n remained in lonely patience until one night Charlie’s cries interrupted her focus on the book that she had just bought. She rushed to his room and called out his name as she entered not knowing if the boy would be comfortable with her or not.
“What is it?” she asked worried as she knelt by his bed.
“I miss my mum” the boy confessed looking at her with teary eyes as he clutched his blanket.
Y/n felt her heart give a small ache at his confession and in an attempt to comfort him she spoke “She’s not really gone, you know?”
“She’s dead” the boy sobbed.
“but people who die, don’t leave us. Not really anyhow” she said hesitantly rubbing his arm. “just because we cant see them doesn’t mean they are not here”
“I miss seeing her” he continued.
“Oh but you can still see her”
“how”
“before you go to bed just think about her, then she’ll visit you in your dreams” Y/n spoke as if she was telling a fairy tale.
“really?” the boy’s eyes widened.
“really” Y/n confirmed “But you have to think really really hard”
“I’ll try” Charlie said having calmed down a bit.
“very well” Y/n said as she stood up, but Charlie’s voice stopped her.
“can you stay till I fall asleep?”
After that night, Charlie hardly left Y/n’s side and she felt much better with his company for she was sure if he wasn’t there keeping her on her toes all day she would fall into a depressive chasm induced by her husband’s absence.
On the rare moments he was home she tried to strike up conversation with him over breakfast or late at night when he came home and she was burdened by insomnia. But Tommy only humored her with a few short responses before excusing himself or turning to face the other side of the bed.
It wasn’t only the fact that he avoided her as much as he could, but he also made it a priority to exclude her at all times. She was never invited into family meetings or night’s at The Garrison so she thought it was a miracle when tommy didn’t oppose to her planning Charlie’s birthday party.
She invited only Tommy’s family which instantly warmed up to her, noticing what a good influence she was and Polly wanted to slap Thomas for the way he had been acting throughout his marriage to Y/n. Almost feeling guilty for getting her into this mess.
When the party ended Tommy shut himself in his office like he often did when he was at home and though he had never given Y/n a reason to believe she was welcome in there of all places, she found herself allowing herself in after putting Charlie to bed.
Tommy looked up as she entered and let out a sigh before turning his attention back to some papers he had been reading.
“I noticed you didn’t have any” she commented not letting his sigh deflate her as she laid a plate with a slice of homemade chocolate cake on his desk. “it’s really good if I may say so myself” she mused sitting down in a chair opposite to his as she dug in with a fork in her own slice.
“I don’t go in for sweets” he stated.
“Not even chocolate?” Y/n tried, but tommy didn’t answer, instead he just shook his head.
“I still think you should try it, it’s not overly sweet, and…”
“is there anything you need?” he interrupted bluntly a bit harsher than he would’ve liked.
His tone caught her off guard and when she couldn’t come up with an answer tommy again turned his attention back to his papers.
“I wish you could let me in” She softly confessed after a few tense seconds.
“Well I wish we hadn’t married but I guess things don’t always go the way we want them to go”
Tommy knew he had crossed a line by the silence that again settled into the room. He looked up at Y/n with her parted lips and misty eyes. They exchanged glances for a second but instead of allowing him to see her like that any longer, she stood up setting her plate on his desk and walked away, only allowing a few tears to drop by when she was out of the room and his sight.
After that she stopped trying to get closer to him. He still loved his late wife and she understood, people in grief never mean what they say after all, but his words stung nonetheless.
She stopped trying to wait for him at night to see if he had gotten home alright and during breakfast she only uttered polite good mornings.
One night however, Y/n was yanked out of a peaceful sleep by a loud crash. She was on her feet in no time and after checking into Charlie’s room to see if he was alright she cautiously ventured downstairs. A few incoherent mumbles filled her ears before her husband came into sight, fumbling with his coat to get it off.
“need help?” she asked earning his attention.
“I’m fine” he said finally taking it off but as he went to take a step to begin walking the floor under him moved and he lost his balance, his knees crashing loudly against the wooden floor.
Y/n offered him a hand and helped him up. He smelled of whiskey and cigarettes, his hands were shaky, consequence of the snow, no doubt. “let’s get you upstairs”
“I can do it on me own” he slurred letting go of her hand.
“stop being so stubborn” she derided, snaking one of her arms around his waist as she helped him upstairs.
Y/n helped him into bed, tookoff his shoes and went to the bathroom to fetch a small towel and some cold water.
She dampened the towel with the cold water before dabing it gently on Tommy’s forehead. His eyes never leaving her face as she did so, making her grow a bit nervous. She continued, trying her best to ignore it until she felt his hand softly caressing her cheek.
“You are beautiful” he rasped.
“Stop it, Thomas” she said feeling her cheeks grow red when she felt a bit sad that he had to be completely drunk to compliment her.
Even in his drunken state he seemed to notice he was making her uncomfortable so he held his tongue until Y/n laid in bed next to him after turning on the lights.
“I’m sorry” he interrupted the silence “For the way I’ve been acting” the whiskey and cocaine making him more vulnerable and open “I guess I was afraid that if I let you in then she would disappear”
He didn’t expect her to answer, but then her voice came in a soft exhausted tone“ I don’t intend to replace her. You don’t need to act all defensive and secretive. Even if it’s not what you wanted, we are married.”
“I Know” was all he said.
Y/n expected him to withdraw more from her after showing himself that vulnerable to her that night but she was wrong. He began arriving home earlier, sometimes even asking if he could come along on the walks she and Charlie so much adored going on. And Y/n finally felt her marriage was going somewhere maybe it wasn’t based on love yet, but it was something.
One day she was at the stables while Charlie was taking a nap. She had always adored horses.
“I didn’t know you liked horses” came Tommy’s smooth voice causing her to jump.
“You never asked” she smiled petting a black horse as he walked closer to her.
“We could go out for a ride, I’m sure Charlie wouldn’t mind letting you borrow his horse” Tommy offered as he too began to pet the horse, his fingers brushing against Y/n’s for a brief second.
“I’d love to, but I am afraid I don’t know how to ride, Tommy” she said, panicking for a second after having called him that. But she rested assured as soon as he spoke again.
“Well that can be fixed” he said opening the door of the stall and guiding the horse outside.
“You mean now?” Y/n asked with a laugh.
“Got something better to do?” he asked walking out of the stable with the horse. Y/n observed tommy as he prepared the horse. She had never seen him so gentle and calm before and she only realized she had been staring when Tommy directed his attention to her to ask her if she was ready.
“I think so” she said going to stand next to the horse wondering how the hell to climb up. But before she had any more time to think she felt Tommy’s hands on her waist giving her a push that allowed her to pull herself up on the animal. It was a good thing she had chosen to wear slacks that day, she thought.
“Goodness this is high” she said nervously looking down at Tommy when he began guiding the horse to move in a slow walk.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you fall” he promised repressing a mirthful tone at her nervousness.
He guided the horse with her around the property in the crisp evening air and Y/n allowed herself to relax with every step the horse took. Tommy’s presence made her feel safe and protected and she found it increasingly harder to look away from his figure. She wondered if he could feel her eyes on him.
When the sky began turning soft shades of purple and orange the pair returned to the stables. When the time came from Y/n to come down from the horse, tommy helped her again. Y/n began to love the feeling of him touching her and when her feet touched the ground in front of Thomas, he didn’t remove his hands from her waist right away and instead fixed his blue eyes on her, not wanting to stop looking at her.
She too fixed her eyes on Tommy as she felt a silent gasp in the base of her throat. That was the way she would’ve liked him to look at her on their wedding day. Tommy then leaned in, almost as if he were asking for permission before he tenderly pressed his lips to Y/n’s.

god knows you tried | manjiro (mikey) sano
pairing: bonten!mikey x reader 
genre: angst
warnings: heartbreak, attempt suicide(?), original characters/manga plot (pls do not read if you haven’t read the manga D: ), mentions of religion, implied sex (no smut ok!)
summary: god knows you tried your best. if only mikey knew how hard you’re trying too then perhaps this love wouldn’t hurt as much as you thought. 
 words: 1823 words 
 a/n: i think this sucks but... i hope you enjoy it! <3
god knows you tried.
you watched the ex-toman boys eagerly catching up with takemichi quietly, hands resting against your chin as you took in the rare sight in front of you with a sad smile etched on your lips. this was the happy ending that mikey had sacrificed for everyone but himself. 
“a penny for your thoughts?” mitsuya asks, plopping down next you on to the stone steps. that’s right, it’s june 19th 2018, toman’s formation day anniversary and everyone had gathered around to re-open the time capsule from twelve years ago. “hm? nothing much. just missing a particular someone.” you hummed, dragging your fingers across the ground to draw a heart. mitsuya nods understandingly, knowing not to pry any deeper anymore and for that, you’re thankful. 
crouching down, you hesitantly picked up the the blue coloured envelope you left behind twelve years ago. unsure if you’d wanna read the contents of the letter your naive self written back then. with a deep breath, you slipped open the cover. revealing a photo of candid photo of you and mikey leaning on each other asleep with your mouths wide open taken by emma. 
dearest y/n, 
i wonder what you’re doing right now? 
are you perhaps finally studying in film? 
has that idiot manjiro finally proposed to you?
 or are you the one who proposed to him? 
“y/n, you’ll be with me for a long time right?” mikey asked, staring at the very sky that you both loved oh so very much with your hands intertwined. having grown up with each other since young had pretty much given you both the illusion that the two of you will always be a part of each other’s world. and you hoped with every inch of your heart that mikey wants it to be that way forever. “of course. you’re my heaven and home mikey. i wouldn’t go anywhere else without you by my side.” you squeezed his hand in assurance, knowing that at this very moment, mikey was at his most truthful and vulnerable self with you. 
whatever it is, i hope that you’re living the happy life with him that you’ve been dreaming of. 
signing off, 
toman’s honorary member, y/n l/n. 
everyone was silent. even hakkai who had been making fun of everyone’s letter kept quiet. the boys knew how much you loved and you still love mikey. each opting to give you the concerned and sympathetic look. you could feel you heart breaking even more for you knew you weren’t doing anything that you had hoped for back then. 
you felt mitsuya’s comforting hand softly grabbing onto yours. “well that’s depressing,” you chuckled softly, wanting to get rid of the awkward tension in the air as soon as possible. “let’s grab some ramen, i’m starving.” and with that, you let your feet drag you away from the heavy atmosphere with your head hung low. 
perhaps the hurt wouldn't be as painful if you weren’t the only one who knew what kind of path mikey had chosen to go down. you see, when mikey turned his back against all his closest friend, you had the privilege of staying as his only constant thanks to your stubborn nature but even with that, you weren’t enough to keep him away from his dark impulses. mikey chose the path to destruction and the only thing that you could do was watch from the sidelines and be there when he shows up at wee hours of the night to borrow your body. but you didn't mind. it was during these most intimate moments with mikey that you finally get to feel a piece of him again when he spews the words of “i love you” so effortlessly. 
god knows that you tried. 
“mikey those aren’t good for you.” you frowned, snatching the capsule away from his hand seconds before he could flush it down his system. “what the fuck y/n?” the angered male snaps. you felt yourself falling and back colliding against the hard ground. opening your eyes, you see mikey pining you down with nothing but void darkness in his eyes. “i’ll fucking kill you if you do it again.” mikey taunts, he was serious and you know it. 
“then kill me mikey.” the words slipped out of your tongue instantly. you were tired. tired of trying. you don't know what else can you possibly do to help mikey anymore. mikey says nothing but got off you. he dusted himself and without sparing you single glance, he showed you his back again, walking out of the door where sanzu was already holding open for him. “get her home.” you heard him say. 
it’s been a week since you guys opened the time capsule. nothing much had happened since then except you’ve been spending more time with hina considering how she’s often over to mitsuya’s studio for gown fitting. you admired and envy her love story with takemichi. but who were you to complain? you were lucky enough that mikey still wanted you around. so it shouldn’t hurt so much when you sae her adorning the beautiful wedding gown that mitsuya had spent months on tailoring. 
you let out a tired yawn, stretching your arms above your head as you finished touching up the last few bits of editing on your laptop. you looked over at the calendar on your table, a pink heart circled over today’s date and smiled. “mitsuya, i’m gonna knock off first okay?” you announced, tidying up your table and reaching out for the bag of the familiar favourite deserts of a certain male. 
mitsuya nods, “thank you for your hard work y/n”. he flashes you a smile, eye slowly trailing to the white plastic bag dangling from your side as you waved goodbye, back facing him and walking away. “you’re going to see him aren't you?” you stopped in your tracks. “i know he never left you. plus you got a bag filled with dorayakis and taiyakis. that’s pretty obvious.” mitsuya chuckles. you always knew mitsuya to be perceptive but it never once occured to you that your best friend who is also your boss would ever catch on to the secret you’ve been hiding for twelve years. 
“how did yo-” 
“be careful y/n.” mitsuya waves you off, going back to whatever he was doing. a fond smile creeps onto your lips as you watched mitsuya working hard. “thank you mitsuya. for everything. really,” you whispered, but loud enough for the dual dyed coloured hair boy to look up again when you walked away. 
you made your way towards the secluded vip section of the club through swarms of body swaying around you until you saw the familiar tall pink haired male standing outside the golden door. 
“hey sanzu,” you greeted, barely audible over the loud booming music. you were about to push the door open when sanzu towers over you immediately, denying you of your entrance. you looked at sanzu in confusion, “it’s me, y/n. i’m here to see mikey.” you said loudly, voice straining to over power the background noise. “ i know. but mikey will not be seeing anyone right now.” he retorts back. 
surely mikey knew that you were visiting tonight right? after all it’s your anniversary date. you tilted your head at sanzu. not fully understanding what he’s saying. to say that you’re feeling absolutely livid would be an understatement right now. you’re too tired, angry and broken hearted to process anything anymore so you exploded. you only wanted to see your boyfriend. was that a very difficult request? 
“sanzu,” you said lowly, eyes staring blankly into his and as if on cue, you brought your knees to his precious manhood before making another high kick at him, bringing him down. it was a technique that mikey had taught you when you were younger and attending martial arts lesson together with baji. god you missed baji so much. 
“y/n because you’re short, you can do this instead.” mikey suggested smugly, kneeing poor baji’s little friend before swinging his legs much more harder than he intended to at baji’s profile when he bent forward. the main point was to get your opponent to lean forward so that your legs could reach high enough to create an impact on their skull. you eyes lit up in excitement, “wow! that’s so cool! let me try it!” you jumped impatiently. turning towards mikey to execute the exact same move. “wait n-! AHH,” mikey’s eyes widened, and before he knew it, you had completely knocked him over. 
that day, as mikey and baji lied down with pain still intact barely moving an inch, shinchiro only gave you a thumbs up and praised you for taking down the invincible mikey. you were the only one who could do that. 
“sanzu, i’ll see my boyfriend as and when i’d like to.” you said curtly, eyeing sending daggers at him lying on the ground before stepping over him to swing the door open, revealing your petite self to the other bonten’s executives and hostess who were staring at you in surprise. 
you don’t see anyone else but your lover who’s currently sitting in the center with two pretty hostess sitting by his side. you don’t hesitate and begun walking  towards him. “get your hands off my man.” you said calmly. there was tension in the air and from the corner of your eyes, you could see the executives slowly getting up to leave as if on cue. 
“aren’t you as stubborn as always,” he raises a brow as you settled down next to him, pouring the bag of dessert on the glass table in front of you. you smile softly, grabbing a packet of taiyaki and handing it to him before grabbing one for yourself too. “happy 14th anniversary mikey.” you mumbled softly before grabbing a bite.  14 years, that was how long you two had been together for. “mhm. happy 14th anniversary y/n.” mikey hums, allowing you lean in close to him and resting your head on his chest. 
you take in the scent of mikey for you knew that this is going to be the last time you’re going to be able to hold mikey close to you. you didn't want this moment to end but you were too tired to continue on and see what's going to happen the next when you go back to just another normal day. you held tightly to the gun you hid in your bag, shutting your eyes tightly. 
“hey mikey,” you called out. you never thought you’d see it again but you saw a flash of endearment in his eyes when you called him. “i love you so much, promise you’ll take care of yourself alright?” you smiled warmly before pulling the gun out of your bag and putting it against your head. 
god knows you tried. 
god knows you did your best and now you’re going home. 
bang!

Warnings: nothing, just a little bit of bickering n dat
Word count: 3.057
Requested by anon x
༉‧₊˚✧
Being a part of the madness that adapted the name ‘Britpop’ was truly an experience. Paparazzi at every corner you turn, equipped with the brightest, flashiest cameras, also having the most annoying click noises to the point that after one image you’ve earned yourself a migraine that would last the entirety of the day; parties that would last entire nights, bearing millions of different kinds of drugs - some that hadn’t even been given a name yet, but you’d still give a try anyways, since you’re so high and drunk that you simply lose the intellectual capability to construct decisions, you say fuck it, and get so high to the point that you’ve blacked out in a booth in a bar, with the owner asking you to get out since you’ve been inside for one too many hours after closing time; as well as constant press coverage. With your name plastered over literally every newspaper and music magazine known to man, as well as having your entire life consistently dictated for the entire nation to read about every Sunday morning and indulge themselves into as a form of entertainment, it was what being famous delivered, right on your doorstep at 7 in the morning. Any earlier and you’d feel rude not to give them a cup of tea as a form of dignity and respect towards their sublime dedication to the job. Although it was fun being associated with it all, my band in particular gaining a different form of calidity due to it being a female fronted band, by the time that the entire nation was hooked on this ‘Blur vs. Oasis’ rivalry, it was as if every other britpop band had been washed away from existence, due to eight boys arguing as to whom had the better music. And the better looks, according to Liam Gallagher.
Tonight was the night of the Brit awards, perhaps the most prestigious awards ceremony for music. To be awarded a Brit was probably the largest achievement possible in British music in the form of an award, and it was definitely either going tonight to either Blur or Oasis. The chances that another band, say Pulp, were to get the award, would not only be extremely amusing to see the reactions of the two biggest names in the Britpop game, but would also cause the largest uproar in the nation. It’s either Blur or Oasis. “Their drama is so silly,” laughed Emily, the guitarist in our band whilst flicking through the latest edition of the Sun, the cover of the newspaper being, of course, Liam Gallagher. “They’re literally bickering about who looks the best. How do people find this interesting?”
“Because of how silly it is, people never leave their secondary-school-like selves. Just a bit of fun I guess.” I replied, fixing up my hair in the mirror in front of me. We were currently getting ready to go to the award show, and needing to look your best was an expectation. Though I wasn’t dressed in anything that would result in jaw’s dropping, it was important that I at least appeared somewhat admirable - the entire nation always had their eyes on us, but tonight they were going to see us all, live. Perhaps the reason why bands like Oasis and Blur are so obsessed over nowadays, since all they’ll do is turn up in some flimsy Adidas t-shirt and call that fashion. I suppose scruffy was the new elegant.
“Who do you think they’ll give the award to?” she questioned, still aimlessly flicking through the recycled pages of the magazine. “I think Oasis. Their music is so much better than Blurs.”
“Really? I’d say Blur. They won on top of the pops, so the likelihood of them winning the Brit award is highly likely,” I answered, shuffling away from the strong reflection of myself towards Emily, my eyes quickly scanning the page that she had her eye on currently. “Gosh Liam’s so full of himself.”
“He’s got his eye on you, you know,” She said, shoving the paragraph she had just read in my face of Liam boasting about his little crush he had supposedly gained from watching our latest performance on top of the pops. “Thinks you’re ‘well fit’.”
Scoffing in response, I mumbled back to Emily. “If he thinks that he’s sleeping with me, he’s very deluded.”
By the time we had arrived at the venue, you weren’t able to walk into the entrance without at least 50 cameras blinding your eyes and the shouts of so many begging for you to quickly turn your head and grin - the price for the photo would reach the many thousands. Once walking in, it was less crowded, only having select people by the ground floor, dedicated for musicians and bands, with the occasional interviewer walking past to every circled table, adorned with white cloth and champagne glasses, asking questions about how they’re feeling, who they think may win, and what they thought of the music throughout the past year. What was nice was that people didn’t have that much interaction with one another, just with their groups. It created a sense of formality in the space, which made me feel a bit at ease from the idea of some random row happening in the middle of the floor, most likely between Liam and Damon. The past year in music was truly something. Britpop was at its peak the entirety of the year, with songs like Parklife and Supersonic pouring out of every radio station in Britain that by the end of the year, you had ditched casual radio music and began blasting the classical station. It was a nightmare. Since the fall of grunge subsequent to Cobain’s death the previous year, the talk of any other genre in Britain apart from Britpop didn’t occur. It was as if we were living on this mystical island, miles away from any other music and culture, whilst adorning and obsessing over our own. What was nice about Britpop was that it was a pure celebration of English culture, whether it be a simple Sunday roast, or going to school, they all carried the same ambience of nostalgia and pride - also disregarding whichever band wrote what song.
“Free champagne… Yes please,” said Madeline, the secondary guitarist of the band, whilst heading to the first seat she could sit on, then quickly indulging herself with the first taste of the rich drink. “Oh my gosh it’s heavenly!”
Laughing at her reaction, the rest of the band took a seat around the table and took their first sips of the champagne, which we would all come to find to be indeed heavenly. Small talk was shared here and there with the rest of the group, but overall I stayed silent. In all honesty I found attending award shows was quite boring because if you didn’t end up getting an award, you would essentially be sitting there for two hours doing nothing. Even if you did win an award, it’s simply a minute of glory with the speakers blasting your music, and another minute of all eyes piercing into your soul as you make sentences about your gratitude towards those who had helped you along the way to earn such an achievement. I doubt anybody genuinely liked attending shows like these.
“The champagne is good, yet we don’t get enough for our table,” I complained, grasping my now empty champagne glass and waving it around in the air. “I’m gonna head to the bar to get a refill, anybody want anything?”
After receiving a handful of nos from the rest of the band, I took myself out of my seat and wandered over to the bar, which was empty, perhaps due to the venue not yet being completely filled with all the artists that were set to attend the night. “Just a refill of the champagne, please.” I asked politely, handing the bartender the used glass I had kept in my hand. Whilst waiting, I noticed that Damon was on the other side of the bar, who also didn’t notice me there, until he caught eyes with me.
A grin broke out on his face as I walked over to him. “You alright?” He asked me, quickly thanking the bartender for his drink and turning back to look at me. The height difference between us was evident, but it wasn’t the case of something so dramatic that he was the height of the empire state building and me, just a measly common tower in the city. He looked quite content, his hair scruffy yet neat, along with his outfit being just as I had assumed: a white shirt with jeans, a used pair of Adidas for shoes.
I smiled back at him and nodded. “Suppose you have high hopes for the award tonight.” I said, simultaneously receiving my refill of the beverage I had ordered, followed by my thanks. We stood adjacent, although there was enough distance between us to establish our relationship - mutual acquaintances whom had met every now and again, since they’ve both been dragged into this wormhole of madness. He was quite the opposite in comparison to his rivals, though he himself could be quite bothersome occasionally, he still had a grasp to what those may call sensibility.
“Oh well we’re better than them, aren’t we love?'' He chirped, his head now cocked to the side in a teasing manner. “I’ve heard that you’re rooting for us this year.” He added, a little smirk pasted on his face.
“Do you read every paper you see?” I questioned, my face turning away from him in slight embarrassment. Between us, there was no shared intention for a relationship to stem, though there was definitely a flirtatious tension that followed between us wherever we had met. Whether it be a random photoshoot for a magazine double-spread, or backstage at top of the pops, we always managed to share a chat with one another, and nothing else followed on from then. It was quite sad, because once you’ve established a connection between something you either both disagree or agree with in terms of societal views, something in the press, or life in general, you’re instantaneously cut off and asked to hop onto stage to record a meaningless three-minute performance with fake, plastic instruments which practically mean nothing.
“Well it was nice seeing someone else's face on the papers for once.” He replied, downing his drink, then ushering at the bartender for another. A thing that we both realised was that, between our conversations, we indirectly indicated that we were both there for each other, because we both had a complete understanding towards what may be happening to the other person. It was stressful being in the limelight constantly, and for someone who was the frontman of a band so large, with his face plastered on every magazine cover imaginable, things were bound to be stressful.
Sighing, I turned to face him again. Despite the fact that before I had the ability to respond, our conversation was cut short from a voice shouting my name from behind. “Well if it isn’t bloody Y/N.” the voice said, and from then I instantly knew it was Liam’s. Turning my face away from Damon’s, I locked eyes with Liam. As always, he was dressed in the usual: a parka, with casual jeans. Oh, and don’t forget the Adidas shoes. Even though he and Damon practically hated each other’s guts, they always seemed to have similar fashion senses, but I could never picture Damon in a parka. And I don’t think I even want to.
“How’ve you been love?” He asked, swinging his arm around my shoulder in a warm, but nonchalant manner. Me and Liam had a similar relationship to that of mine and Damons, simply just minusing the sentimentality of it. We were friends, and had come across each other at random parties, which opened the gateway for us to drink and get high together many a time. While he was quite the idiot, he was also a very fun guy to be around, but I knew Damon would never understand that. “And why’re you letting this twat chat to you?”
A laugh escaped Damon’s throat. “I think you’re the only twat here, Liam,” he began, a sigh leaving my mouth as I was trapped in a situation that I could only pray didn’t gain much traction from the rest of the attendees. “Me and Y/N are friends, don’t suppose we’re getting jealous are we?”
Liam’s grip on my shoulder tightened as I stared at his reaction to Damon. I felt quite small in this situation, due to me needing to tilt my head a good amount to properly look at Liam, and knowing if I left it would just erupt chaos and make it worse. “No need for me to be jealous when I know that she wouldn’t want to spend a minute with you in bed you bastard.”
“And you’re so sure about that are you?” Damon replied, amusement laced in his words. “Because you’ve totally spent a minute with her haven’t you?”
“Well I’ve got my arm around her haven’t I? And she’s not stopping me,” Liam argued back, a smirk entwined on his lips. Reaching for my hand, Liam grasped it lightly, then then brought it to his lips, kissing it, before holding it gently. Method of intimidation, perhaps, and though it was sweet, there was a time and place. And this was definitely neither the time, or place. “Who’s the jealous one now, eh?”
“The last I recall, she had hoped that we were winning this year, not you,” He boasted, moving the contents of his drink around whilst grasping it firmly. Whilst it would be something that would offend Liam, he was simply the type of person to not take criticism regardless of whomever it was coming from. I respected him for that. “So much so for a healthy relationship.” Damon mocked, staring into my eyes as a small laugh escaped my lips.
Granted that I had found the argument shared between the pair of them to be extremely silly, it was good entertainment as the time passed before the award show would begin. Watching them both, attempting to throw insults at one another, each one trying to cut a little deeper than the one previous, made me almost laugh at the both of them right there. “You know, it’s so silly that you both think you know me so well to think which one I’d pick from the both of you,” I said, detaching myself from Liam’s embrace and snatching my half-empty glass of champagne. “At this point, it’s neither of you.”
Walking back to my band’s designated table, I quietly took my seat as the show began. “Saw you chatting to Damon,” Emily whispered, raising her eyebrows. “Also saw you grinning like a madwoman.”
“Oh shut up you,” I replied, looking back at the bar to notice that both parties had left, assuming back to their places. “There’s nothing going on between me and Damon- Liam too in fact.”
~~~
As the ceremony went on, the boredom got to us. Even the amount of drinks I had didn’t entertain me, but what could we do, we were stuck in the middle of an award show celebrating music, even though I had largely doubted that the majority of those attending were enjoying themselves. I had no clue who the awards were going to be handed out to, and whether that somebody may be us in a category, but we all knew Blur were going to win something. Yes, Oasis had gained a lot of fame and had become one of the most famous bands in the music scene at the minute, but by the way things had gone for Blur after the release of Parklife, things only seemed to go further up from there. And that was only proven to be truthful, after Blur had left with four different awards.
After Blur had received their fourth award for best British group, we all knew that there was nothing left for Oasis. “They’ll get it all next year, they only debuted this year you know.” I said to the table, who were staring at the four smiley boys on stage as they trotted up to receive their award. I admired Damon as he said his speech, then also turning to look over at Liam, who looked quite evidently pissed off. He was practically drooling in anger from the sight brought to him at that particular moment, and I couldn’t blame him - their band hadn't gone home with one award that night, but neither had ours. “They’ve taken four awards home, isn’t that like, the most anybody has ever taken?”
“Indeed it is,” Madeline replied, taking a sip from her drink. “Must be a good year for them then, eh?”
As I watched the band leave the stage in absolute glee, I stared at Damon as he walked back to his designated seat for the short remainder of the evening. Despite the fact that my band had been sat in our seats the entire evening in complete boredom, just like Oasis and so many other acts that had been nominated for pointless awards, it would be a lie to say that I wasn’t proud of how far Blur as a whole had come and evolved through their music, and especially Damon. From beginning as young, bowl-cut boys only charting so far on top of the pops, to creating songs and melodies that could unite our entire nation, it was impressive.
Damon was the face of Britain at this very moment, and a very good looking one. Once I watched him sit down, he scanned the room for a while until he was able to find where I was sitting, which was parallel to his seat, merely a couple metres away. He connected eyes with me as soon as he found me, also accompanied with a small smirk painted on his expression as he raised his eyebrows and sent me a wink. I simply smiled back at him in response before turning away abruptly, disrupting the little moment we seemingly shared, and though I felt my heart flutter a little, he’s definitely not winning me that easily.

The Secret
Tumblr media
◐ PART IV of THE ALPHA ◐
◐ Part I ◐ Part II ◐ Part III ◐ Series Masterlist ◐
Tumblr media
Pairing: Alpha Werewolf Jimin x Omega Reader
Rating: Mature (for this installment)
Warnings: ABO sexual dynamics including discussion of scenting, marking, mating, and claiming. Violence and discussion of violence relating to ritual combat. Jin’s pheromones need their own warning. Yoonji and Yunli are not the same person.
Word Count: 3600
Author’s Note: This update literally made me sob because I edited it and formatted it and it just disappeared when I posted. I seriously felt my heart drop because it took so long to format... ANYWAYS I wonder if anyone guessed the secret.
Tumblr media
”You can’t do this, Luna ... Come back inside.”
Your hand tightened on the doorknob.
“I was just going out for some air-”
Jin shook his head, letting his lanky frame collapse onto the overstuffed chair by the fireplace. 
“And after the air... then what?”
Your terse silence was confirmation enough. 
He sighed heavily, hating himself a little for what he had to do. 
“You cannot go to him. They’ll smell you on his skin and it could cost him... dearly.”
Your eyes fluttered shut.
“I just wanted to see him...,” you whispered. “I wanted to talk to him just once before-”
A sob bubbled up in your throat and your hand flew up to cover it. 
The dawn would come in two hours. 
And then Park Jimin would be gone. 
Jin’s arms wrapped around your shoulders and you fell against him hopelessly. 
“They’re going to make me watch, Jin-ah. I-I have to watch him-”
Bitter tears overtook you, wracking your body with the violence of your despair. 
“I know...,” he murmured softly into your hair, “I know.” 
Tumblr media
“Do you think he’ll really show up?”
The chief elder glared fiercely at the young man who dared voice such a question. 
The entire pack had jammed themselves into the clearing where the challenge was taking place and despite the solemnity of the occasion, the atmosphere buzzed with barely contained speculation. 
“Park Jimin was chosen by the goddess herself to be her champion or to be the divine test of her champion. Have some respect,” he hissed. 
The young pup had the decency to look abashed, but the chief elder was already ignoring him in favor of the newest arrival... 
A Luna wore only three ceremonial colors at any given time. 
Green for celebration and harvest was worn in times of laughter and gaiety. 
Blue for mourning and peaceful resolve was worn in times of trial and hardship. 
Red for passion and vengeance was worn in times of war and signified the sacred bonds that wove the pack together. 
Your mother laid out a blue cloak as it was the color chosen by every Luna who had ever faced down a provocatione ritual.
But you arrived in sumptuous Red. 
It was a stunning act of defiance, a wordless declaration of your fury. You were here to obey the goddess, but in a crimson cloak you would not embrace this challenge with peaceful resolve. 
An attack upon your mate, even under these circumstances, was an attack upon you. 
You had come dressed for war. 
Tumblr media
Jimin heard the gasps echo around his meditation cell.  
He and Namjoon arrived at the sacred circle a full hour before dawn and sequestered themselves in the small, free-standing hovels on opposing sides of the the site. 
The tiny pods were spaces for an individual to commune with the goddess and center themselves before engaging in the typically life-altering events that brought them there. 
Sometimes it was marriage or celebration, sometimes it was acceptance to one of the guilds or a promotion to a higher rank within your family’s clan...
Today it was life and death and the future of the pack that weighed upon the combatants’ shoulders. 
The sudden swell of movement and sound pulled Jimin from his meditative state. 
What happened? 
He got his answer soon after an elder came to escort him into the circle. 
It was you. 
Your hands and feet were bound to the ornately carved chair they had seated you in. This was a typical precaution because it was natural for a wolf to defend their mate if they were in danger and the restraints kept the Luna from doing so. 
The pain in your gaze was agonizing, but in red, flowing down from your shoulders with fiery obstinance, you were every inch the warrior queen. 
Yet it was not your rebellious cloak or even your incredible beauty that caused his heart to pound and stutter in glorious shock...
It was the familiar praesidium bracelet wrapped around your wrist; an intimate message of devotion that he and he alone would understand. 
Pride and possessiveness roared to life in Jimin’s chest. 
She’s mine.
Tumblr media
“You look... surprisingly calm.”
Taehyung jerked guiltily. 
“What? Me? I don’t know anything - I mean I’m not calm - I’m frantic. I - I don’t even understand the question.”
Yoongi’s eyebrows raised right up into his hairline. 
“Taehyung-ah? Did you put those special mushrooms in your broth this morning? You’re acting a bit strange-”
“No,” Taehyung’s voice cracked. “This is me - this is totally normal me. I’m not - there were no mushrooms-” He cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “So - uh - how’s Yoonji?”
“Oh my go- really?!” 
Tumblr media
The chief elder began to recite his speech, reminding the pack of the profound significance this moment carried...
But Yunli could barely hear his words over the ringing in her ears. Her gaze fixed on Namjoon from the moment the elder brought him forward... yet he had not glanced toward her once. 
He looked so strong and confident. 
So capable of victory. 
A faint whimper of abject sorrow worked its way passed her lips and Namjoon’s eyes flew to her instantly. 
As if he had always known exactly where she was. 
Longing split his features for a fraction of a second. 
Then his gaze shuttered again and Yunli’s wolf howled in silent, mournful agony. 
Tumblr media
Anticipation bore down upon the assembly as the chief elder uttered the last few sentences with reluctant finality. 
The moment had come.  
Both alphas stepped into the circle. 
You began to tug frantically - futilely - against the bonds. Jin’s hand gripped yours as a tear slipped heedlessly down his cheek. 
“I’m sorry,” Namjoon whispered - to you - to Yunli - to Jimin -
To himself. 
Then his claws lengthened to a deadly point and he tore forward with a chilling snarl. 
Jimin remained unnaturally still, watching his rival barrel towards him with almost calculated intent. 
Namjoon’s arm drew back to land the first strike and- 
———◐———
Last Night...
———◐———
“Wait - WHAT?!”
“It was... me. I broke the table.”
Taehyung drew back slowly. His eyebrows furrowed in profound confusion. 
“With what? A jackhammer!?”
Jimin tilted his head in amusement. 
“Hammerfist strike... actually.” He shrugged. “I lost my temper.”
“You - You lost your-“ Tae began shaking his head rapidly. “Is it a spell of some sort?! Goddess you know better than to get tangled up with witches! You let them give you a band aid and then they show up ten years later asking for your firstborn!”
Jimin rolled his eyes. 
“Of course not! No... it’s...” he bit his lip. “You remember that time I came to your house a little too early and... Yoonji had you tied to a bed...”
Tae paled. 
“We agreed never to speak of that.”
“And I haven’t - spoken of it - especially since Yoongi still thinks his precious baby cousin is unaware of big bad boy wolves and if he found out you were corrupting her-”
“Wait. You think I was corrupting her?!“
“The point is... it’s a secret. And I know you have your reasons for keeping it that way so... I hope you’ll understand what I’m about to tell you...”
———◐———
Fourteen Years Ago...
———◐———
Jimin’s hands fidgeted nervously over the flyer that the human boy offered him. 
“But I’m only in Seoul for the summer.”
Just long enough to miss Alpha Camp entirely. 
“That’s perfect because it’s only a summer program. Seriously, you were so fast catching that jar I knocked over. Your reflexes are amazing and it looks like you’ve got the perfect build for it too.” He tapped the flyer for emphasis. “Think about it.”
No one had ever told Park Jimin that he would be good at anything like this. In fact most people told him he needed to be better...
Bigger. 
Stronger. 
His eyes traveled over the large letters printed at the top of the brochure. 
“Taekwondo...”
——◐——
“...so thank you all again for signing up and attending the orientation. I will see you tomorrow for our first class.”
A strange sense of anticipation hummed through Jimin as he gathered his coat. He was finally doing something for himself; something that had nothing to do with being an alpha-
“You’re a wolf, aren’t you...”
The young instructor who gave the initial demonstration and spoke for most of the orientation stood behind him with his arms crossed.
Jimin’s eyes widened in shock. 
“How did you know?”
The stranger tapped his nose. 
“My grandfather had a human mate and his pack exiled him for it. I’m mostly human, but this nose can pick up another wolf’s scent just as well as yours.”
Modern packs didn’t exile wolves with human mates anymore, but fifty years ago the practice was still unfortunately common. 
“I’m sorry about your grandfather.”
The young man smiled. 
“He lived a long happy life with his mate and his family. There’s nothing to be sorry for.” He stretched out his hand. “Lee Taemin.”
“Park Jimin.”
They shook firmly, and Taemin continued to examine him with unconcealed interest. 
“Tell me, Park Jimin, what’s an alpha wolf doing all the way out in Seoul? The only pack around here married their last child into one of the mountain nations years ago.”
“That was my mother, actually... I’m here visiting my grandmother.”
Taemin tilted his head curiously. 
“I’ve never known wolves to be interested in human martial arts. You lot prefer to fight shifted... In fact, I doubt a mountain wolf could even throw a punch,” he snorted, “not that they’d need to with those fangs.”
Jimin’s shoulders fell a little. 
“So... you don’t think I’ll be good at it.”
“On the contrary, I think you could be incredible.”
The young wolf’s face brightened immediately. 
“Really?! Even if I’m not as strong as other wolves?”
“Taekwondo isn’t about strength. It’s about speed. Master the speed and the strength will follow.”
———◐———
“Relax your body. Focus your energy.”
Jimin drew in a deep breath as he moved  through the pattern Taemin taught him. 
“The power and speed of your wolf is constant, but most wolves do not bother channeling it in human form. Concentrate on your wolf and bring that power into your strike.” 
His hand came down on the thin press wood and-
It hurt. A lot. 
Taemin chuckled as Jimin cussed and swore, cradling his tender fist grouchily. 
“You’ll get it. Just keep practicing.”
“Are you sure I’ll be able to break the boards one day?”
The boy’s face was so round and adorably hopeful. Taemin nodded confidently and offered him some ice. 
“A human with training can break boards, but a wolf who harnessed his natural speed and strength could break much more than that.” 
———◐———
Twelve Years Ago...
———◐———
“You’ve improved a great deal since last summer. Were you finally able to find a teacher near your pack?”
“Yes - but... she’s not as good as you.”
Finding a local Taekwondo teacher had been the easy part. 
Constantly making up excuses to explain his habitual disappearances... 
That was trickier. 
His mother thought he was hunting with Taehyung, Taehyung thought he was sniffing around some human girl and needed a buddy to cover his tracks. 
Sneaking away to practice wasn’t too difficult, but he panicked when Yoongi caught him moving through forms in the woods once and pretended to be doing an interpretive dance. 
With no music.
Yoongi had looked at him a little funny since then. 
Taemin grinned. “Of course she’s not as good as me. I’m the best. Now take position and let’s see if you can finally land this kick.”
———◐———
Ten Years Ago...
———◐———
Jimin glared at the thick oak board Taemin sent him home with this year. 
“It’s a 4x6 solid oak plank. I want you to break it before the winter solstice.”
He snorted, positioning the board between the makeshift vices he fashioned to hold it in place. 
“Sure, I’ll just get right on that.”
“...Who are you talking to?”
Jimin groaned internally.
Of course. 
“Hey guys,” he turned to greet Jungkook and Hoseok brightly (while completely ignoring the question). “Where - where are you two headed today?”
Jungkook’s eyes sparkled with excitement. 
“One of the elders is going to teach us how to build traps! He invited all the unmated alphas to go with him past the boundary lines to test whatever we make!”
A familiar embarrassment settled heavily in Jimin stomach. 
“Oh... I uh... I didn’t hear that.”
“I’m sure it was just a mistake that they didn’t call for you,” Hoseok rushed to reassure him. “You could come with us. I don’t think the elder would mind.”
The older boy’s gaze was filled with discomfort... and pity. 
Jimin cleared his throat and forced up a sunny smile. 
“No that’s fine - I have work to do anyways so...”
Jungkook nodded quickly, desperate to escape the unexpectedly awkward conversation. 
“Have fun!” he shouted, already beginning to jog away. 
Jimin watched quietly as their figures grew smaller, waiting till their clumsy steps no longer disturbed the stillness around him. 
He should be used to it by now... 
The passive rejection. 
It shouldn’t bother him anymore. There was no malicious intent... just casual dismissal again and again and again-
An angry roar tore past his lips as he brought his hand down on the board. 
It cracked in half. 
———◐———
Eight Years Ago...
———◐———
“It’s strange but - I feel like the better I become at this, the stronger my wolf is.”
“That isn’t strange at all. You and your wolf are two halves of a whole. The more you balance your energy, the more your strengths can be shared. Now - stop stalling and get to it.”
Jimin eyed Taemin’s latest idea with a reluctant groan.
“None of the other students have to break cinder block.”
“None of the other students are wolves. Besides, it’s been 6 years, you’ve broken stacks of boards. It’s time for a real challenge.”
“I’m lucky I haven’t broken a bone,” Jimin mumbled irritably. 
He did that day, but it was healed in a week and he broke his first cinderblock a month later.
———◐———
Five Years Ago...
———◐———
“Remember, timing is everything. Never let your opponent see what you’re going to do.”
“How many times do you think I’ve heard that over the last ten years?”
“Not enough, clearly. You’re still telegraphing with that right foot.”
Jimin’s left hand shot out and connected with Taemin’s jaw.
“Am I?”
Taemin blinked up at him from the floor. 
“Ok. I admit. That was pretty impressive.”
———◐———
Three Years Ago...
———◐———
“Oh! I’m so sorry, I was looking for Jin.”
Jimin scrambled to his feet, dumping the pile of pebbles he collected (for his mother’s garden) noisily to the ground.
“Luna...”
He took a discreet step backward as your gaze scanned the area in frustration. 
“You haven’t seen my cousin, have you?”
Jimin gulped. 
He had seen Kim Seokjin - leading a curvy beta girl (nose first no doubt) in the direction of the old wading pool. It took every bit of self-restraint he possessed not to laugh out loud each time Jin bashfully declared that he was a ‘good boy’ and to ‘be gentle with him,’ - after all, he’d given the same speech to two other she-wolves last week. 
Best not to scar her for life. Some things cannot be unseen.
His mind darted briefly to the scene he’d walked into at Taehyung’s house yesterday.
“I have no idea where Seokjin is, Luna.”
You sighed, gnawing absently at your lip while you considered his words, and Jimin felt a familiar hint of futile longing whisper through him. 
He’d never been so close to you, and now that he was, his wolf was making all sorts of insane suggestions to keep you near. 
Do a backflip. Climb a tree. Build her a house. 
Jimin bent quickly to gather his scattered stones, ashamed at the direction of his thoughts. 
You were so incredibly beautiful...
It was almost enough to make him forget that he would only ever be Park Jimin.  
He couldn’t blame the others for fighting and fawning over your attention like they did. You were the moon and every man around you was drawn in like the tide. 
“Today is my seventeenth birthday, you know.”
Jimin looked up to discover that you had moved much closer and were now looking down at him expectantly. 
He blinked. Twice. 
“I - yes. I did know.”
The entire pack was celebrating. He’d have to be comatose not to know.
“Should I save you a dance, Park Jimin?”
Up until that exact second, Jimin would have bet his life savings that you did not know his name. 
Yet here you were - so very close to him - gazing down into his eyes almost shyly.
He nodded because he couldn’t think of a single reason not to give you anything you wanted. And when you smiled so brilliantly -  he almost believed that you truly wanted to dance with him...
Almost. 
He never went to your party. 
He never danced with you.
Not that day. Not ever.
Because deep down he suspected that if he held you in his arms - even once - he would never truly let go. 
He was sure you wouldn’t notice his absence...  You wouldn’t remember talking to him by the time the evening rolled around. 
He never saw you search the crowds for his face right up until the midnight bell. 
He never saw you turn down dance after dance hoping that the beautiful boy from the forest would finally come and take your hand. 
He was your only wish that birthday. 
But he never knew. 
———◐———
One Year Ago...
———◐———
“I’ve never seen anything like your skill. You’ve long since surpassed me. I’m not sure what more I can teach you,” Taemin smiled, bumping Jimin on the shoulder, “Perhaps you should find a woman and spend a little less time practicing.”
An unwelcome flash of silver eyes and a laugh like sunshine danced through his mind. 
“No. I’m... not really the type wolf girls go for.” 
Taemin snorted. 
“I don’t believe that. Aren’t you an alpha?”
“Yes, but it’s... complicated.”
“Isn’t everything?”
Jimin laughed. 
“Yes, I suppose it is.”
Silence settled comfortably between them as they nursed several bottles of soju on his grandmother’s porch. Taemin had charmed the old hellion quite thoroughly and he would often drop by for a visit even when Jimin was back home with his pack.
“So what will you do now?” he asked. “You can’t compete. I can barely withstand sparring with you, and you’d kill a human - even if you landed a blow at half strength.”
Jimin ran his fingers absently through his hair while he pondered his mentor’s words. 
“I learned to fight because I was searching for something that would help me sort out who I was.” He scoffed. “I don’t know that I’m any closer to that goal.”
Taemin shook his head. 
“No. I think you’ve got it all wrong, Park Jimin. No one achieves what you have without knowing who they are. You’ve always been a fighter and some part of you realizes that.” He sighed heavily and finished off the rest of his drink. “Now I think you’re just... waiting.”
“For what?” Jimin chuckled playfully. 
Taemin pulled out another bottle and met his gaze with a knowing grin. 
“Something worth fighting for.”
———◐———
Now...
———◐———
Jimin remained unnaturally still, watching his rival barrel towards him with almost calculated intent. 
Namjoon’s arm drew back to land the first strike and- 
It was fast. 
So fast it almost seemed like magic. 
One moment the Kim alpha was the barest breath away from a swift and decisive victory-
Then he was crashing backwards onto the dirt. 
Those who watched carefully saw Park Jimin spin into a vicious kick, one that connected solidly with the middle of his opponent’s chest. 
Stunned silence pressed in from every side as Namjoon scrambled back to his feet, his expression wavering wildly between excruciating pain and monumental shock. 
Jimin smiled, letting his razor sharp canines lengthen menacingly as he flowed back into a perfect combat stance. 
“You didn’t think I’d just let you have her, did you?”

technoblade x gn!reader! this is a sbi au where the reader is friends with techno and they go to the same school. they’re around 18 in this fic! enjoy :)
find part 2 here and part 3 here :]
prompt: You were going to Techno’s house to work on a physics project after the library had to close because of covid. You knew each other for a while now, sitting next to each other in your shared classes and even in lunch.
“He-” Phil tried to say to the stranger at the door before Tommy cut him off. “NEW FRIEND!!!” he yelled while running to you with his arms open. Techno told you about his brothers and how the youngest is a tiny devil. You laughed and accepted his hug. “Hey bud, what’s your name?” you asked him, not noticing that Techno was now watching you two.
“Tommy!! Who are you?” Tommy replied. “Well Tommy, I'm (Y/N), i’m here to work on a project with Techno.” you smiled at him when his eyes lit up at the mention of his brother. “Tommy please leave (Y/N) alone. You’re probably annoying them and we need to work on our project.” Techno said and Tommy and you pouted at the same time, making each other giggle. “You don’t annoy me Tommy but Techno is right.” you said to the blonde toddler. “Can I join?” he asked with the biggest puppy eyes and you looked over to techno, who was violently shaking his head no. “Only for a little bit.” you told him and Techno sighed, walking to the kitchen table, Tommy following happily.
“Sorry about him, he is really excited about meeting new people. I’m Phil.” Phil chuckled as he closed the door after you came in. “No worries, really. I’m (Y/N).” you said as you followed him to the kitchen, where Techno was already sitting in his chair and tommy was sitting next to an empty chair. “Saved a spot for me huh big guy? Thank you.” you smiled at him and he nodded excitedly. You sat down beside him and began unpacking your stuff.
“What were you thinking of doing?” Techno asked and you shrugged, “maybe something about the planets and galaxies? or stars?”
Techno hummed and began spewing his ideas about the topic, occasionally showing you some articles that might be of help. After you’ve decided on a more specific topic regarding the great above and divided the tasks you felt a small hand on your arm. You looked at Tommy, who was looking at the two of you with big eyes. “(Y/N) what is a galaxy?” he asked and you chuckled. “It’s a big system of millions of stars, together with gas and dust, all held together by a force.” you answered and he nodded, scooting closer so he could see your laptop screen. “Woah..” he commented and you smiled at him, showing him pictures of what some looked like.
Techno watched with a soft smile and felt his heart warming. This didn’t help his tiny little crush on (Y/N) at all. Phil perked up at the sound of Tommy's voice and noticed the way his son looked at the person in front of him and grinned.
You told the youngest more about galaxies in baby terms and he kept nodding, giving you his full attention. “That one is my favorite I think.” he said and pointed to the picture that was up. “Really? It’s my favorite too!” you gasped and he smiled widely. Suddenly he stood up and ran upstairs. You smiled and returned your focus back on the project, typing away about some of the tasks you got. After some time the blonde came back, now with paper and crayons. You almost audibly aww’ed and pulled up the picture of his favorite galaxy again, whilst editing some of your text. Tommy sat next to you again and began on his drawing, occasionally asking you about which color he should use. Techno’s eyes could barely leave the sight in front of him, yes Tommy was a social kid but he didn’t have the longest attention span. This was new to the whole family.
“Tech?” you called for him a second time, making him blush furiously. “Y-yes?” he answered and you giggled, “how many pages were we allowed again?”
“Ten, I believe, I’ll check it real quick,” he hummed, “yeah, ten.”
You nodded and thanked him.
Phil tried not to laugh, he’s never seen Techno this flustered by someone before. He smirked, coming up with a great plan. “Hey (Y/N), do you want to stay for dinner?”
Techno’s eyes widened and looked at his dad like he was crazy. You checked the time and frowned, seeing it would be too late to join dinner at home if you went now. “Only if it’s no issue, I wouldn’t want to be a bother.” you replied shyly and he shook his head no, “of course not! Besides, I think both of the boys would enjoy your company a little longer.”
You laughed as Tommy loudly agreed and Techno softly nodded, his cheeks red again. “Alright then. Is there any way I can help?” you asked. “No no no, you’re our guest. No helping allowed. Besides, Techno is here so it’s fine.” Phil answered and you nodded. The older man stood up and walked to the kitchen, Techno following him.
“(N/N)! Look!” Tommy said as he tugged on your sleeve and you turned around to see what he wanted to show you. “It’s done! What do you think?” he held up his drawing. “I think it looks great! I wish I could draw like that, it looks really good.” you told him as you looked at it up close. It really were just some different colored lines with black here and there but sometimes lying is okay. “It’s for you!” he giggled and you gasped, “thank you big guy, that’s really sweet of you.”
Techno watched the two a few seconds longer before glaring at his dad. Phil cackled and shrugged, “just helping you out! You obviously like them and I saw them look at you a few times and I wouldn’t be surprised if they liked you too.” The pink haired boy almost dropped the ingredients he was holding. No way, it couldn’t be possible. He scoffed and gave the ingredients to his dad. “You’ve got to be quick though before someone else steals their heart.” Phil said while nodding to you and Tommy, now drawing galaxies together. Techno laughed and shook his head, “I can’t believe they go along this well. They’re usually not that fond of kids.” Phil’s eyes widened, not believing what his son said. If anything he thought you must’ve had younger siblings or babysat. “I know.” Techno said knowingly and began chopping the ingredients his dad had washed.
~
At the sound of plates rattling (Y/N) put away their school stuff. “Let me at least help set the table.” you asked Techno when he came back from the kitchen and he firmly shook his head no. You huffed and tried to collect Tommy’s crayons, making him pout. “I know, but we have to make space on the table to eat dinner.” you told him and he nodded, helping you clean up. Phil smiled, grabbing the oven mittens. He was really hoping it would work out between you and Techno, you seemed like a great addition to the family. He was sure Wilbur would like you as well, feeling a bit sad he had to work a long shift today.
“Lasagna! The pan is still hot so be careful though.” Phil told the three of you, walking over to the table. He put the pan down on the coaster and took a seat next to Techno, dividing the lasagna in equal portions. Tommy eagerly held his plate up, making you smile. Phil gave him a smaller portion and motioned for your plate, which you held up and he put a portion down. “Thank you, it looks and smells really great.” you told him. “can’t take all the credit.” he said while putting food on Techno’s plate. Techno shrugged and smiled at you, making your stomach flutter.
You all ate the lasagna in a comfortable silence, listening to Tommy’s rants. He was telling his dad all he learned about galaxies today, you nodding when he looked at you for confirmation. After he finished he smiled proudly at his brother and dad, who clapped for him. You laughed and clapped along, impressed with how much he remembered.
After a bit of small talk and questions about school, Phil cleaned up the table and cleaned the dishes. Techno and you began talking about the new comic that came out in the series you were reading together. Tommy watched the two of you discuss the topic and began playing with your fingers. You shot him a small smile and continued the conversation. Techno’s expression visibly softened, making you blush slightly.
“Would you like some tea, (Y/N)?” Phil asked from the kitchen. You took a quick glance at the time and said yes. Not long after Phil came back with a tray that held three cups of tea and some cookies. As soon as the tray touched the table Tommy grabbed a cookie and quickly put it in his mouth. You shook your head laughing and grabbed a cup and a cookie as well.
All of you talked, Phil sharing some embarrassing stories about his sons, Techno filling up the details, you shared some stories from when you were younger and even Tommy shared some stories from the daycare he goes to.
Time flew by and after a few cups of tea you had to announce your leave. Phil offered to drive you home but you declined, it was only a small ten minute walk anyway. You quickly gave Tommy a hug first. “Come back soon okay?” he whispered in your ear, to which you nodded and ruffled his hair. You thanked Phil and told them goodbye again before following Techno to the front door.
“I’m sorry if I was too interested in Tommy, I’ll work some more on the project when I get home. Thank you for inviting me over though and for the food, I had a really good time.” you smiled at Techno.
He looked up at you with a smirk, “didn’t picture you as a person that likes children, you always laugh when they trip and start cursing them when they cry.” You laughed in response, “I know, I know. I saw my baby cousins a few days ago and they changed me.” you dramatically sighed and Techno chuckled. “He’s not going to stop talking about galaxies for forever now.”
“Hey you should be thanking me, you’re going to ace the test about them.”
Techno was about to reply when he got interrupted by a loud scream of Tommy. “(Y/N)! You forgot your drawing!” the small boy yelled while running to the door. “Oh! I knew I was forgetting something, thank you Tommy.” you said when he handed you the drawing he made. He quickly ran back to the living room, definitely not because Phil told him not to bother them.
“I really should go now, so again thank you. I’ll text you when I get home okay?” you told him and he nodded, already excited to be able to talk to you again. “See you, Tech.” you said as you kissed his cheek. His face immediately heated up and he sputtered out a bye, awkwardly waving after you. He stood shocked in the door frame for a few seconds, did you really just kiss his cheek? Was Phil right?
“Techno? Are you alright” Wilbur began asking brother before he followed his gaze and saw you walking, “oooo does little Techno have a crush?” he smirked. Techno groaned and walked back into the house again, “shut up Wilbur.”
Phil greeted Wilbur and looked at them with a raised eyebrow, not failing to see Wilbur’s smug expression and Techno looking like he had just seen the stars up close. “Well?”
“They uh, they kissed my cheek when- when they said goodbye?” Techno tried to tell them, but it came out more as a question, still unsure if it really happened. They cheered and congratulated them, catching Tommy’s attention.
“Is (N/N) coming back?” he asked with a big, hopeful smile. Phil laughed, “No Tommy, (Y/N) just left.”
The blonde boy sighed sadly and Techno nodded understandingly. Wilbur watched with an amused smile as he went to put his bag on the table, which still had the drawings on it.
“Did you make these Tommy?” he asked and Tommy enthusiastically nodded, “with (Y/N)’s help! They told me about galaxies today and then we drew them.” “Oh really? What did they tell you?” Wilbur asked, earning groans from the other two. He huffed and listened to Tommy patiently.
~
After his little ramble Phil went to put him to bed. Wilbur looked at Techno, who was smiling at his phone. “You’re so in love it’s gross. Now when am I meeting them?” he asked him and Techno rolled his eyes, “I don’t know, soon probably. If they don’t come back soon I think Tommy will start crying. ” “Yeah just like you.” Wilbur laughed as Techno’s face went red for the millionth time today. “N-not true!” “Sure Tech. But seriously, invite them over again. A time when I’m home as well.”
“You suck.”
“Love you too.”

Warnings: Swearing
Words: 1.7k another shorty for you
A/N: Okay. So. To get back into the spunk of things, I've decided to challenge myself to write a fluffy fic this time. I didn’t edit it much, so be prepared for mistakes.

•○●•○●•○●•
"Hey Taik," your voice echoed through the large house, from your room, down the stairs and into the living room. "Have you seen my DBZ hoodie anywhere?"
You don't receive an immediate answer, so you go to look for yourself. After a quiet walk down the stairs, peering around every corner for him, you find him sitting in the living room, sitting on the couch, in a very... awkward position.
"Are you okay?" you were concerned. You've never seen his leg bend like that before.
Taika's head snaps right to you, and he looks speechless. He's trying to come up with something. "I'm great. Just chilling. Watching..." he looks to the television screen. The television wasn't even turned on.
"Go on," you encourage, now leaning on the guardrail to the steps and tilting your head. He's still quiet.
After another long, insane moment of hesitation, he finally picks up a bowl from the ground. "Grapes?" He offered them out to you, and all you did was just stare at them.
"No, I'm good," you hummed, eyebrows furrowed while Taika still tried hard to play it cool. "While you were having a stroke, I'm assuming, I think I lost my Dragon Ball Z hoodie. Have you seen it at all, or did it get mixed in with your laundry?"
"Uh, no. Nope. I don't even like that show. Sorry," he looked away and up at the ceiling like a purposely oblivious little boy. You were starting to catch on. Suspicious, but you didn't have enough evidence.
"It's hard to miss, Taika. You seriously didn't notice it going into the wash with your clothes? At all?" you held your hands up, and he began to twiddle with his thumbs.
"Nuh-uh," his answer was stout. He was still avoiding eye contact with you. You gave up.
"Fine," you huff, then drop down from the final step. "I'm just gonna go have a look for myself. You know, just in case." You walked right by him. His position didn't waver, except for his eyes that were bouncing all over the place in order to still avoid you.
Instead of actually digging through laundry, you hid behind a corner, and lurked there to casually stalk your boyfriend. He was still acting weird when you left. He would check over his shoulder from time to time, and after a minute or so, you finally saw him get up and start digging through the couch cushions. He didn't make much of a sound, but he certainly found something that he liked, because he picked something up, and he had the biggest smile you had ever seen on his face.
All it took was a little glimpse of red-orange fabric and you knew. He had your hoodie.
You burst from your hiding place instantly. "Taika David Cohen, I know what you're hiding!" You shout at him and instantly he's a deer in headlights, but not for long. His eyes never moved from yours and there was a brief moment of silence. He juked the couch corner once, at first thinking he should run to the kitchen, but ultimately made a break for the stairs, hoping to make it to the bedroom with the only lock. You, like a dope, ran right after him.
His long legs helped carry him, but you had unwithering speed and determination. At the end, he almost had you. His hand was on the doorknob and he was just about to slam the door shut to lock, but you pushed through like a tank and plowed into him. The force you had knocked him back onto the bed, but the hoodie was still in his hands. You reached for it, but he scrambled to the other side of it. He didn't notice where the bed ended, and fell to the ground as a result. He picked himself up, thankfully unhurt and unphased by the whole chase, and the thing you wanted was still in his grasp.
"Taika," you were panting on the other side of the bed, and you outstretched a frustrated hand. "Give me the hoodie."
"Absolutely not," he wasn't breathing as hard, and he hugged the hoodie close to his chest.
"This is the third time this week! Give me the damn hoodie! I just washed it!" You shake your hand to add emphasis, but all he does is just look at it with a disgruntled attitude.
"It's your fault for being gullible and not watching your things better," he stuck his tongue out at you, childishly. The longer this went on, the more huffy you became. All you wanted to do was relax in your favorite hoodie and maybe cuddle a little bit! That's all!
"Okay, that was a low blow from the biggest procrastinator on earth. And, like you said, you don't even like Dragon Ball! Why the fuck do you want it so bad!?" It was a petty argument, sure, but you were a bit hardheaded, so why not drag this out a little longer?
"I could like it!" He shouted and spluttered, trying to come up with excuses. "And it's comfortable. It's a massive size!" He held it out in his hands, just looking at it, and his eyes lit up. "We could share!"
"No."
His idea was stomped out quickly, and he went back to pouting. He wouldn't give it up yet.
You sighed, getting tired of trying to find a solution. Your eyes started to trail, looking for something, anything, to call it even. Just to your luck, you landed on the closet.
"Give me your One Piece sweater," you said, and folded your arms.
Taika, still admiring the piece of clothing in his arms, became suddenly baffled and looked right at you. The look he gave you said it all. "No!" That word was popular with him today.
"Why not?" You said, eyes lingering over to the closet again. "What's stopping me?"
His whole body tensed and his jaw shifted. It was a sudden standoff, just waiting for the other to make a move. At first, he tried to make up more excuses, but you taunted him like Chris Tucker in Rush Hour. With every stumble and fumble he made with his words, you played the shadow game with him.
When he was at his lowest, you bolted to the closet. He dropped your hoodie and ran right after you, just as the closet door swung open. Your hand was centimeters away from the hanger you needed, but Taika came crashing right into first, bumping you right out of the way with his hip. With plan b failed, you ran right to where he dropped your hoodie and managed to snag it in seconds just by the sleeve.
In your moment of glory, you were cocky enough to try and run out the door. Taika had been anticipating that move, ever since he got his One Piece sweater and saw you dive for your hoodie, he was waiting in front of the door. So, when you turned on your heel and made a mad dash, you ran right into Taika and his hand had grabbed onto the collar of the shirt.
Taika tried to yank it from your hands, and you gasped, holding on tight. He tried again and again and again, but you kept holding. Neither of you were noticed that the fabric was slowly starting to rip.
"Taika! It's not yours!" you yell, pulling back.
"I know, but I like it! It fits me!" he yelled back, and yanked it.
Childish taunts went back and forth, and both of you were both talking at the same time for a point in time. The room started to swirl, and eventually the strings keeping the hoodie together grew tired of the fabric and it just...
Snapped.
There was a piercing rip, and both you and Taika stumbled back. He left with the entire collar in his hands, soft string still dwindling from it and hanging from under his nails. You broke away with the rest of the hoodie. Once you realized what happened, it fell from your hands. You kind of just... looked at it. Your hand came up to cup over your mouth and your other arm cradled just beneath your chest.
Taika was talking to you, but you just tuned it out. When you finally looked back up at Taika, you had a look on your face that he only saw during actual, serious fights. He had royally pissed you off this time.
At least he had enough sense to move out of the way when you walked out of the room. He still had the collar in his hands, and he watched you go downstairs.
You needed to cool off for a little bit. You went to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of water and sat down on the couch. You curled your legs up to your knees and turned the television on. You weren't really in the mood to watch anything, so you endlessly flipped through the stations, reading the descriptions and quietly wondering how some of these shows even made it at all.
You hadn't noticed it, but Taika had summoned up enough courage to come downstairs. He brought a peace offering with him. He slowly crept to the living room, staying out of your peripheral vision for the time being until he was behind you and the couch. He cautiously came to wrap his arms around you, making you pause from your channel flipping and he buried his nose into the crook of your neck. He let the thing he brought slide onto your knees. It was his One Piece sweater.
He murmured a soft, "I'm sorry," into your tender skin and kissed at it.
You couldn't stay mad at him, no matter how hard you tried. Your hand went up into his hair and you massaged his scalp the best you could with one hand. "It's fine... but there's one thing you can do to make it up to me." You pulled away from him and folded your arms. He sighed, giving you a soft frown, but he only knew it was right.
"I'll buy you a new one..."
