And I wanna request for like were dating Hyun-su and were also infected so uh yeah
Idk but if you can try to do something with that

(wasn't sure whether or not to do headcanons or a fic but... an actual fic is more interesting!!)
also,,, sorry if it's a bit short!! i was sleep deprived when i wrote this </3
infected love | cha hyunsu
pairing; hyunsu x gn!reader
- you and hyunsu are both infected but that doesn't get in the way of your love <3
Tumblr media
Ever since the strange days of the apocalypse started, you and Hyunsu made sure to be safe - that's why you stayed in your shared apartment at first.
That was until Hyunsu was infected.
Hyunsu was worried that he would infect you, but you told him that it didn't matter and you would love him no matter what.
Eventually, you did get infected, but you felt perfectly fine - especially with Hyunsu by your side.
When people found out that you were both infected, Eunhyuk decided to lock you two together in one of the rooms in the apartment.
Hyunsu begged for you to not be locked up but you didn't mind it, but Eunhyuk also declined his request.
Now, you and Hyunsu were starting to be let out more and socialize with other people. (Although it was awkward).
"That sweater looks cute on you," you cooed. "I think you should get more like that."
Hyunsu wore a blue sweater - it was from one of the bins located in the main lobby for anyone, and he decided to wear it, but you loved it more than he did. "Really?"
"Of course," you stood on your tip-toes and gave him a peck on the cheek. "You look cute in anything."
Hyunsu laughed, scratching the back of his neck as he was flustered. "You look cute in anything too."
"Thank you." You smiled.
Your moment was interrupted by Eunhyuk who called you to dinner. Dinner time was always difficult as people judged you - mostly Seok-hyun and any of the people were scared.
You took your hand in Hyunsu's, giving it a tight squeeze to prepare not just him but also you for whatever insults would be thrown at you.
Both of you followed Eun-hyuk into the room where everyone ate. You two already gained most of the looks in the room which gave you a little bit of anxiety.
"Hey, hey, Eun-hyuk. What are those monsters doing here?" Seok-hyun snarled, "I don't want my food to be contaminated."
"Seok-hyun," Eun-hyuk started, "not now."
"No," Seok-hyun started, "get out of here, both of you!"
You laughed as the man looked up at you, it was funny. "If you don't want to be infected then don't eat here, simple."
"What did you say?" Seok-hyun mocked your laughing. "You're being smart with me now? I've got to-"
Seok-hyun raised a hand to you but was stopped when Hyunsu held him by the arm tightly. "I know you don't have any manners or human decency, but I would stop if I were you."
You had never heard Hyunsu so serious and defensive. Of course, he defended you, but this was a new side of him.
"I-" Seok-hyun was flustered and embarrassed, he didn't know what to do in the moment. "Eun-hyuk, do something!"
"Just let them eat," Eun-hyuk said before walking out of the room.
────────────
After eating, you and Hyunsu decided to sit elsewhere in the building. Your backs against the wall as Hyunsu held your hand in his lap.
You had your head rested on his shoulder as a sigh escaped you. He noticed immediately and squeezed your hand. "What's wrong?"
"It's hard being like this," you started. "I don't mind being infected, of course it isn't ideal, but I just wish people wouldn't be so quick to judge."
"Hey," Hyunsu rubbed his thumb across the back of your hand comfortingly. "Who cares what people think? Especially Seok-hyun, he's an asshole."
You laughed. "You can say that again."
"Besides, I won't judge you," he told you. "Even if I wasn't infected."
"You're too sweet," you kissed his covered shoulder and smiled. "The best boyfriend I could've asked for."
"I love you," he blurted out. "So much."
"I love you more." You replied back.
"What should we do tonight?" Hyunsu asked, a smile still remaining on his face. "Do you have any ideas?"
"I wish there were more options," you sighed. "I think we should just be with each other. I want us to have a nice sleep."
"That sounds nice to me," Hyunsu smiled. "I'm sorry about what happened today, by the way. You didn't deserve that."
"It's okay," you told him. "Thank you for defending me. I appreciate it and I meant to thank you before."
"I'll always be here to defend you, I promise."
"And I will do the same for you." You smiled, leaning in the peck his cheek.
────────────
It started to get late as you and Hyunsu went into your room to get some sleep, or at least attempt to.
You two were the only ones locked up in the 'infected room' but it was nice, just being away from everyone and not have anyone complaining about being near them.
Eun-hyuk was nice enough to give you two a mattress from one of the rooms downstairs. It was slightly comfortable but being next to Hyunsu was the only thing that mattered to you.
You lay down on the bed, a sigh of relief escaping you lips as the tiredness dawned over you. Being infected could be hard - you were often tired and needed your rest.
Sometimes when you were in bed, the thoughts about what could happen after the apocalypse appeared in your head. What would happen if everything went back to normal yet you and Hyunsu were the only infected people? Would they take you in? Would they-
"Hey," Hyunsu snapped you out of your thoughts, "Are you okay?"
"I'm okay. Just tired," you told him, smiling. "Are you?"
"'I'm also tired." Hyunsu smiled back.
"Let's sleep." You turned on your side, Hyunsu shifted closer and wrapped an arm around you, pulling you even closer to him.
"I love you," he said, kissing you one last time - this time on your arm. "Infected, whatever, I love you no matter what."
"I love you no matter what either," you told him. "I'll love you forever."

Not rated, 2k, Wangxian
Summary: In the midst of an embrace with Wei Wuxian on the floor of the Library Pavilion, Lan Wangji senses that someone's spying on them. In the ensuing confrontation, both he and Wei Wuxian (shockingly enough) use their words. Canon divergence, in which they basically realise their affection for each other way early on, while Wei Wuxian is still studying at the Cloud Recesses.
Kay's comments: Hehe, this one is so much fun! In which Wangxian get together during the Cloud Recesses study arc and are in the middle of a heated make-out session when they realize someone is spying on them.
Excerpt: The sash had fallen to the ground and Lan Wangji was bent over, nosing at the skin of his chest. Wei Wuxian could barely hold back the shiver of delight that went through him. “So I said that you were fun to tease, and Nie Huaisang, he said I teased you like a boy pulling a little girl’s braids, because he likes her. “And you know, Lan Zhan, I laughed at the time, but he was right,” Wei Wuxian finished breathlessly, his eyes crinkling up as he smiled. “I like you, Lan Zhan, I like you so much, you’re so good and handsome and you make me feel wonderful, Lan-er-gege-” his words cut off again as Lan Wangji cradled the back of his head and bore him to the floor of the Library Pavillion, kissing him again as Wei Wuxian spread his legs to let Lan Wangji lie between them.
canon divergence, pov wei wuxian, cloud recesses study arc, getting together, love confessions, making out, non-consensual voyeurism, happy ending, su she, fluff and humor

A Poly-Gem Mini Fic
Steven finally fell asleep, wrapped tightly and comfortably in a bundle of blankets he was insisted he wanted to share but ended up keeping for himself when the gems refused. Rose carefully and slowly picked him up to carry him to bed. Much to her amusement, he had curled up into a ball, a habit he’s had since he was a baby and clearly never left. She tucked him in, patted his hair and adjusted his pillow next to him so he’d still feel something snuggled up close to him.
For whatever reason, she felt compelled to lay back down on the blanket of Steven’s floor next to the others. She knew better then to wake them up, especially when she was already getting on everyone’s nerves. Yet again, she was surprised when she felt sleepy, warm arms warp around her as the gems made room for her. Even after a huge argument they still—literally—welcomed her with open arms.
She sighed heavily and turned to her side as she closed her eyes. Garnet’s arm wrapped around her side as she pressed up closely to her back. Amethyst lying in-between her and Rose, curled up most closely to Garnet but her leg draped over Rose’s waist. Pearl snuggled up in Rose’s arms, facing away from her but smiling softly as she snored, her gem pressed against Rose’s forearm. They still loved her, even after everything.
Stars I don’t deserved any of you..

TYPE: One-shot
JURISDICTION: It’s fluffy, your honor.
PAIRING: Lan Sizhui/Jin Ling
SIDE CHARACTERS: Lan Jingyi, Fairy
ELEMENTS: Humor, junior banter, Gusu setting, canon universe, crush/light romance, wholesome interaction, helpless Jin Ling in an embarrassing situation because we love to see it~
{ AO3 }
In which Jin Ling is terrified of spiders, Lan Jingyi is a mischievous chaos gremlin and Lan Sizhui comes to the rescue on a night hunt gone hilariously wrong.
Requested by a friend. 🖤🕷️🕸️
The frigid night air whipped through Jin Ling’s hair as he leapt from branch to branch in pursuit of a straggling corpse. This was his first night hunt in Gusu without his uncle nearby to supervise. The feeling was both terrifying and liberating but he also knew his uncle’s expectations of him were much higher.
He had to hunt something big.
He launched himself into the air with the toe of his boot, readied an arrow in his bow and released it into the corpse’s head. It stumbled forward and collapsed to the ground with a pathetic groan.
Jin Ling landed beside its limp body and kicked it in the side for good measure.
A sudden whirlwind of white and sky blue descended from above along with the silver glint of a sword. The sword pierced through the corpse’s neck as its wielder landed gracefully beside Jin Ling.
Jin Ling clenched his fists and stomped one foot into the dirt. “Lan Jingyi, will you quit it already?!”
The young Lan disciple next to him wiped the blade of his sword and smirked, tossing his long black bangs to the side. “Why would I quit when it makes you so mad?”
“It was already dead!”
“It twitched.”
Jin Ling grumbled and crossed his arms over his chest. “Why are you even following me around? Can’t find your own prey or what?”
“You don’t know? I’ve been asked to keep an eye on Young Mistress Jin.”
Jin Ling’s eyes narrowed at the nickname. “And who’s keeping an eye on you and your annoying mouth?”
Lan Jingyi sheathed his sword and placed his hands on his hips with a triumphant grin. “No one! So you’re just gonna have to deal with it.”
A strange breeze wove between them, directing their gaze to a darker section of the forest heavy with mist.
Seeing this, Lan Jingyi really did shut his mouth as the air around them turned glacial and sinister. Jin Ling took a step forward and squinted into the rapidly forming fog. “Corpses?”
Lan Jingyi shook his head. “I don’t think so. They would’ve attacked us by now. This mist, though…” He stepped forward with Jin Ling and outstretched his hand toward the growing cloud. “It feels natural but intentional. Like it’s camouflaging something.”
Jin Ling’s brows narrowed and a mischievous grin tugged at the corners of his mouth. “Then what are we standing here for? Let’s go see!”
In a blur of yellow robes and blind enthusiasm, Jin Ling flew into the mist as fast as he’d spoken. Lan Jingyi tensed and called, “Hey, wait!” as he reluctantly chased after him.
Though it was hard to see through the mist, a flash of yellow pierced his murky sight. He instinctively reached out, grabbed and pulled what he thought was Jin Ling’s clothes but when he yanked his hand back, a pained cry escaped from the young Jin disciple. Lan Jingyi looked down to see that he’d grabbed his hair instead.
Before he could let go and apologize, Jin Ling twirled around and thwacked him upside the ribs with his sheathed sword. Lan Jingyi wailed pitifully and buckled over. He held his side and hissed in pain. “The hell was that for?!”
Jin Ling shoved his peeved face through the mist and glared down at him. “What do you mean what was it for?! You almost ripped my hair out, idiot!”
Lan Jingyi whined and rubbed his sore ribs. “You really do have the temper of a young mistress.”
“Shut up!”
“Point proven.”
Just when Jin Ling was about to hit him again, a curious skittering noise came from the towering trees above them. Lan Jingyi winced as he rose to his feet. “Shit… I knew it.”
Jin Ling gave him a look of confusion and annoyance, still bitter about having his hair yanked like a horse with no reigns. He worked on fixing his loosened ponytail and asked, “Knew what?”
“This place, this fog—I knew it seemed familiar. There’s tales about mist covered nests deep in Gusu’s woods that belong to giant man-eating spiders.”
Jin Ling froze at the mention of spiders. Though he kept this fact to himself, he hated spiders and the thought of a gargantuan blood-thirsty spider speeding towards him on its abnormally large, spindly legs made his skin crawl. “I’ve… I’ve never heard of such a thing. Ridiculous! Probably just a lame rumor meant to scare kids and keep them out of the woods.”
“Maybe,” Lan Jingyi shrugged, “But I’m pretty sure I’ve heard the old man talking about it with HanGuang-Jun back at the Cloud Recesses.”
Jin Ling swallowed at the thought of Lan Qiren and Hanguang-Jun seriously discussing something like this. “Whatever,” he dismissed. “I see no webs and no spiders, so I’m going to go check out that noise and catch something. Stay here and keep scaring yourself with pointless stories if you wanna be a baby.”
Jin Ling did his best to hide his anxiety and whipped around before jumping up into the trees. Lan Jingyi scowled and scrambled after him. “Young Mistress Jin!” he shouted, hoping to anger him enough that he’d come back. However, Jin Ling ignored him and pressed on.
Irritated, Lan Jingyi closely followed the sound of rustling leaves and groaning wood as Jin Ling pounced from branch to branch above him. Finally, he heard a sudden ‘oof!’ as the noises in the trees stopped.
“Jin Ling?” Lan Jingyi called, unable to see anything through the dense fog.
“Wha… what is this?!” Jin Ling said, his tone strained and full of confusion.
Lan Jingyi heard the small twinge of panic in the other’s voice and followed it to a modest clearing where the mist was significantly thinner. He waved away the remaining milky haze until he was greeted by a sight so comically bewildering that he blinked several times to make sure he wasn’t hallucinating.
In front of him was a giant spiderweb woven between the trunks of two strong trees and caught in the center was a struggling Jin Ling with all four limbs splayed like a flying squirrel hovering a mere four feet off the ground.
Lan Jingyi stared blankly for a moment before erupting with laughter. The vision before him was so hilariously satisfying that he almost fell over. Jin Ling’s rage was bubbling up again but he opted to ignore Lan Jingyi’s cackles and focused on trying to tear his hands and legs free. He punched and kicked and rocked forward but the web was surprisingly strong, as though it was specifically woven to catch human prey.
“This is too good, it’s too good!” Lan Jingyi chanted, practically rolling on the ground with wild amusement.
“Will you shut up already?” Jin Ling snapped. “I can’t focus with all your screeching!”
Lan Jingyi tried to catch his breath in between laughs. “If you didn’t storm off like a moody mistress, you wouldn’t have to focus on this.”
Jin Ling tried to lunge forward but it was no use. The web had him locked in place from head to toe. He exhaled and stopped trying for a moment. “Then how about you make yourself useful for once and get me out of here?”
Lan Jingyi pretended to contemplate while an impish idea surfaced in his mind. I’ll just leave him here for a bit to scare him, then come back to help, he thought. He choked back his laughter and composed himself before staring up at Jin Ling with a feigned serious expression.
“No way,” Lan Jingyi barked, his tone sharp but still laced with amusement. “It’s your own fault for barging into this situation, so get out of there yourself!”
Jin Ling fumed and flailed as much as his trapped limbs would allow. “Seriously?! If my uncle finds out you left me here, he’ll… h-he’ll…!”
Laughter bubbled out of Lan Jingyi. “He’ll what? Scold you for getting caught instead of doing the catching? He’d probably leave you here too!”
Jin Ling’s face burned with anger and embarrassment. “Then get me down so we can finish the hunt and actually catch something!”
Lan Jingyi crossed his arms and puffed out his chest like a cocky pigeon. “Nope. Think of this as a cultivation trial. If you can free yourself from that web before the spider comes back, you’ll be ready to face the deepest, darkest depths of Gusu’s wilderness.”
This was the second time he’d mentioned the spider. Jin Ling’s face paled at the thought of whatever mammoth eight-legged beast owned the web he was trapped in. He could barely handle normal sized spiders, though he’d never dream of revealing his fear to Lan Jingyi.
While Jin Ling manically tore through hypothetical scenarios and outcomes if the spider showed up, Lan Jingyi turned around and started walking away. “H-Hey!” Jin Ling shouted. “Where are you going?!”
“Hunting!” Lan Jingyi called back before disappearing into the trees.
Jin Ling huffed with frustration and wiggled around. “What a loser.”
He quickly realized that struggling only made the web’s grip on him stronger since the more he flailed, the more heavy strands of sticky silk wound themselves around his wrists and ankles. Burning the web away was out of the question since he couldn’t reach his talismans and calling his uncle for help was far too embarrassing.
He wouldn’t be surprised if his uncle really did just leave him there like Lan Jingyi predicted. Regardless, he couldn’t reach his flares either.
Jin Ling furrowed his brow and pouted angrily as he brainstormed. “I can’t believe I’m asking myself this,” he mumbled, “but what would Wei Wuxian do?”
Suddenly, he had a flashback to the last time Wei Wuxian ‘handled’ a difficult situation: by running around like a chicken with no head and shrieking for HanGuang-Jun to come save him.
“Useless!” he spat.
He didn’t know how Wei Wuxian could be so shameless, so ridiculous. The last thing he needed right now was another Lan showing up and gloating at his predicament.
Just then, a rustling noise came from the bushes to his right. He froze, remembering the spider but whatever was in the bushes was far too small to create such a large web. Jin Ling watched carefully as the fluffy head of a well-groomed dog popped out of the leaves accompanied by the gentle chime of a round bell around its collar.
“Fairy!” Jin Ling exclaimed. “Where have you been?! Quick, go get help from—“
Jin Ling grew quiet as more rustling came from the bushes and a tall, handsome boy dressed in the white robes of the Lan sect stepped out. He brushed a generous amount of twigs and leaves out of his raven bangs that had accumulated from following Fairy through the forest.
Jin Ling’s face blanched. “…Lan Sizhui…?!”
Lan Sizhui looked up at him with a pair of wide, doe-like eyes that sparkled quite brilliantly in the moonlight. His mouth fell open at the sight of Jin Ling in the web, not entirely sure how to respond to the situation.
“Young Master Jin! There you are,” said Lan Sizhui, a wave of relief in his pleasant voice. “Are you alright?”
Jin Ling glowered at him and turned up his nose. “Tch. How about you ask your annoying Lan twin? He’s the one who left me here!”
Lan Sizhui blinked. “Lan Jingyi…?” He sighed and walked closer to Jin Ling, Fairy trotting triumphantly at his side as though she’d brought her master his knight in shining armor.
Lan Sizhui studied both the web and Jin Ling for a moment and suppressed a chuckle. He looked up at him with a sympathetic smile. “You’re stuck?”
Jin Ling turned beet red and snapped, “I’m not!!!” I-I’m just thinking…!”
Lan Sizhui smiled again, amused by his unwavering pride and reached for a small hunting knife that was strapped to his upper thigh. While Jin Ling was trying his best not to look at him, Lan Sizhui began carefully cutting away the web around his wrists.
Jin Ling’s face was burning with humiliation. Out of all the people Fairy could’ve brought, it just had to be Lan Sizhui—the last person he’d ever want to see him like this. Not to mention, Lan Sizhui was almost a carbon copy of HanGuang-Jun, albeit much more talkative and expressive. Jin Ling mentally prepared himself for receiving a long-winded, boring lecture once he was saved.
After a few minutes of meticulously sawing through the web, Jin Ling’s right hand was freed. He thought about grabbing one of his talismans and burning the rest of the web but his thoughts were instantly scrambled by the tender way Lan Sizhui held his hand to help him balance.
Shocked speechless, he ripped his hand away and immediately fell forward at an awkward angle, crashing directly into Lan Sizhui’s shoulder. He went from holding his hand to hooking his one free arm around Lan Sizhui’s neck and he couldn’t decide which of the two positions were more embarrassing.
His paranoia told him that Lan Jingyi was hiding somewhere in the bushes watching, snickering and memorizing every detail for blackmail purposes. Jin Ling sneered at the thought.
He stared down at Fairy who was sitting obediently in front of the web, wagging her tail and watching with keen interest as Lan Sizhui worked on freeing Jin Ling’s other wrist. However, he wasn’t prepared for the offset of balance that came with both of his hands being freed. For a moment, he felt as if he was actually going to fall and all of his anger melted into a potent jolt of fear.
Jin Ling yelped as he quickly clasped his other hand around Lan Sizhui’s neck and trembled with nerves. “Wah—! Don’t drop me!”
Lan Sizhui blushed from seeing Jin Ling so worried. The way he was hugging his neck made his cheeks flush a few shades darker. He gently but cautiously patted Jin Ling on the back in an attempt to reassure him. “I won’t drop you. I’m not Lan Jingyi, you know.”
Jin Ling grumbled at the mention and plopped his chin onto Lan Sizhui’s shoulder, glaring into the distance like a perturbed cat.
“I’m doing your ankles next,” Lan Sizhui warned. “You can use my back for support, okay?”
Just as Jin Ling was about to protest, Lan Sizhui crouched down. Jin Ling’s torso propelled forward and he hastily propped himself up with his forearms, using Lan Sizhui’s back as a platform. If the positions before were embarrassing, this was simply mortifying. His eyes darted around his eerily quiet surroundings as he tried to think about anything other than Lan Sizhui’s selfless chivalry, the way his lean muscles moved beneath Jin Ling’s body as he cut the web, and the warm scent of orange blossom and cedar wood clinging to Lan Sizhui’s clothes.
But the only unrelated thought that came to mind was the spider. Suddenly, Jin Ling wished he’d kept thinking about Lan Sizhui and stealthily inhaled the clean scent of the Lan boy’s robes for comfort.
“Um… Sizhui?”
Hearing Jin Ling say his name without ‘Lan’ was a rare occurrence and usually meant he had something serious to say. Lan Sizhui glanced to his side in acknowledgment. “Yes, Young Master Jin?”
Jin Ling swallowed. “Are there really giant spiders in Gusu’s forests? And do they really eat people?”
Lan Sizhui smiled. “Lan Jingyi’s been telling his horror stories, I assume?”
Jin Ling deflated onto Lan Sizhui’s back with an exasperated huff. “So he lied to me.”
“Not entirely,” Lan Sizhui revealed. “There’s giant spiders in the forest but they rarely eat people since nobody ever ventures that far in. I’m actually surprised you managed to find a web so close to the Cloud Recesses.”
Jin Ling furrowed his brow. “I really have rotten luck, then.”
Lan Sizhui laughed and shook his head, his hands still working dexterously at the webs around Jin Ling’s ankles. “For this situation, I’d say you lucked out. Take this web, for example—it’s still sticky enough to catch things but it’s fairly old and probably abandoned. Even if I’d showed up later than I did, the worst that could’ve happened is you being stuck here for a bit longer.”
Jin Ling slapped a fist down onto the small of Lan Sizhui’s back, causing the taller boy to rock forward from the shock. “That’s still a ‘what if’ scenario! I swear I’m gonna sic Fairy on Lan Jingyi the moment I see him next!” His voice fell quiet as he crossed his arms and looked off to the side. “I really could’ve died out here.”
A caring softness spread across Lan Sizhui’s face and his voice came in a barely audible whisper. “I’d never let that happen.”
“Huh?”
“Hm?” Lan Sizhui replied, pretending as if he didn’t say anything. “Ah, nothing.”
Finally, both of Jin Ling’s ankles were freed and he scrambled up Lan Sizhui’s back until his arms were hooked around his neck again. Lan Sizhui held him at the waist and carefully lowered him to the ground, letting him tap the toe of his boot on the dirt to make sure it was safe before planting his feet.
Jin Ling slumped his shoulders and sighed with relief, glad to be out of the web. Lan Sizhui expected him to go back to his fiery, combative self but to his surprise, Jin Ling frowned up at him with a bashful, apologetic expression.
“I… t-thank you for helping me.”
The words seemed incredibly difficult for him to say but they were earnest. He could tell by the way Jin Ling’s amber eyes burned with gratitude like a storm of autumn foliage. The sight was rather breathtaking, though he didn’t dare admit this out loud. Lan Sizhui blinked in disbelief before settling into a friendly smile. “Of course. I’m just glad you’re okay.”
Jin Ling blushed again and quickly looked at the ground, the sincerity of Lan Sizhui’s words setting his nerves alight.
“Oh,” Lan Sizhui said, eyes trained on Jin Ling’s wrists. “Let me see your hands.”
Jin Ling snapped his head back up. “H-Huh? Why?” Even as he asked the question, he subconsciously lifted his hands as if Lan Sizhui’s melodic voice possessed him to do so.
“The webs,” Lan Sizhui said. When he smiled, his eyes smiled too and Jin Ling paused to study the way his irises shifted from indigo grey to deep azure to cold amethyst in the moonlight—so strikingly opposite to Jin Ling’s wildfire gaze. He couldn’t look away even if he tried.
With his hands hovering in the air, Lan Sizhui began untangling the remainder of the webs from Jin Ling’s wrists and discarded the thick silk strands onto the ground.
Fairy immediately took notice of this and trotted over to Jin Ling’s ankles. She bit and gnawed at the webs on his boots and ripped them away quite efficiently. Lan Sizhui grinned at her efforts. “Good girl! Your master is lucky to have you.”
Normally, Jin Ling would’ve retaliated by now but Lan Sizhui glanced back up at him only to find he was frozen in place with a look of bewilderment as if he’d realized something important and didn’t know how to process it.
Lan Sizhui’s fingers lingered on his wrists for a moment. He frowned and tilted his head. “Young Master Jin? Are you feeling alright?”
Jin Ling finally looked down at where Lan Sizhui’s slender fingers grazed his skin and blushed so furiously he thought his head might explode. He felt dizzy and warm and unable to function. When Lan Sizhui suddenly reached up to brush a strand of spider’s silk from his hair, his chest buzzed like a hive of bees.
“Sorry,” Lan Sizhui said sheepishly. “I just noticed it now.”
For whatever reason, a million thoughts were running through Jin Ling’s mind that he would’ve slapped himself for earlier. Maybe it was the air or the time of night or some strange delirium from being trapped in the web—he couldn’t be sure. He just knew that right now, in this moment, he really liked Lan Sizhui.
He liked his tranquil eyes and gentle smiles. He liked the way his soft raven bangs swept over his headband and tempted his fingers to brush them to the side. He liked that he had to look up at him because of their height difference. He liked how his quiet, soothing voice washed over him in clement waves.
But most of all, he liked the way he touched him. Cautious but daring, soft yet protective. Jin Ling realized that from the moment Lan Sizhui showed up, he felt safe regardless of how many fits he threw.
“Sizhui,” Jin Ling said, trying his best to regain himself. “Can we…”
There was a significant pause between them but Lan Sizhui waited, afraid he might scare Jin Ling into saying ‘never mind’ if he interrupted. He didn’t even know what he expected him to say but he felt anxious with anticipation.
“Can we stay together? For the rest of the hunt?” Jin Ling immediately tore his gaze away from Lan Sizhui, shocked at how such simple words could be so humiliating to say.
Lan Sizhui’s lips parted and his eyes glistened with surprise. He lightly squeezed Jin Ling’s wrists and beamed at the request. “Of course.”
Jin Ling looked back at him with a shining expression, drinking up every detail of Lan Sizhui’s smiling face. When Lan Sizhui released his wrists, he suddenly felt cold so he sidled up beside him as close as he could without causing suspicion.
Their shoulders brushed together as they left the now mangled web and walked back into the forest, Fairy trotting happily behind.
“I’m still gonna kill Lan Jingyi,” Jin Ling muttered.
“Let’s just work on killing corpses for now,” said Lan Sizhui, laughing nervously.
“I’ll turn him into a corpse first, then!”
Lan Sizhui sighed. Senior Wei, what have you been teaching my a-Ling?

Christmas was in full swing at La Résistance headquarters; halls decked with garland, windows adorned with festive curtains, Christmas tree garnished with homemade ornaments.
And all eight of La Résistance’s members, finishing up the decor in the rec room.
Well, all eight of them were in the rec room, but not all eight were decorating.
It was really just Vegan-Su doing all the work, Apocalipsis helping to reach the high places whenever needed.
Brutux and Dr. White sat on the couch, in front of the fireplace/TV playing a video of a crackling fire, listening to Christmas music.
BP and Katani had taken mistletoe, stuck it to a stick with fishing line, and gone around holding it above peoples heads trying to get them to kiss.
Shooter would be lying if he said it wasn’t hilarious
Sheriff was goofing off, per usual. Wandering from person to person, cracking a joke, throwing an insult, getting punched in the face by Vegan-Su when the mistletoe made its way over to them, accidentally breaking an ornament, getting tangled in the Christmas lights—The list could go on.
But Shooter didn’t care about how long the list was, he just cared about the man behind it.
Sheriff, he loved him—
No he didn’t love him. He couldn’t love him. But god did he love him anyways.
Sheriff, and his bright orange hair like that of a fire; drifting out and up, sending scalding embers of his personality wherever he went. Sheriff, and his elegant teal-blue eyes that glow brighter than ice shining in the morning light. Put side by side you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the two, their beauty unparalleled in the great expanse of winter.
But Shooter could tell the difference.
Shooter knew the deepness of Sheriff’s eyes, like the sky, infinite and beautiful. Full of possibility. He knew the gentle touch of his lightly tanned skin; from the few times Sheriff had sought comfort in Shooter’s arms.
He knew Sheriff’s cockiness, how much of an idiot he could be sometimes. How he could fuck up so badly, yet make it out fine. How he could be so dumb, yet have everything work for him.
But Shooter loved it. He loved everything about Sheriff, from his dumbassary to his sweet giddy smiles.
He only wishes he actually could love him.
Shooter sighs, staring out the window he placed his menorah in. The menorah that Sheriff, had gotten for him. (Alongside enough candles to last all of Hanukah, which makes Shooter doubt that Sheriff had actually found this all on his own.)
“Hey Shoooooooter!” The man in question saunters toward him. Ready to continue his antics.
“You look reallllllll lonely over here you know,” Sheriff teases, “Why don’t you stop being uh…” He thinks for a moment, “damn it, Brutux what was the word again?!”
Shooter can hear Brutux sigh from the other side of the room, “A Debbie Downer?” “What he said!” Sheriff smirks.
Shooter rolls his eyes. He’s such an idiot… “I ain’t bein’ a ‘Debbie Downer’ Sheriff. I’m just thinking.”
“Mhm, bout what?”
Shooter shrugs, red tinting the tips of his ears. You “Nothing much.”
They stare out the window together, barren desert wasteland surrounds the headquarters. It looked the same year round, no matter where you went.
And most of the time, it was hot. Hotter than you’d think it could ever get. The Big Fart sped up climate change, and it hadn’t snowed since then, but it still got fairly chilly this time of year.
Proof of that was last night, up on the roof, when Sheriff pressed into Shooter’s side for warmth against the bitter darkness.
It still made his heart flutter to think about…
“Lovely weather we’re having huh?” Sheriff interrupts his thoughts.
“Beautiful weather,” Shooter chuckles, “Should be expecting snow any day now!”
Sheriff laughs with him, “Man! I can’t remember the last time I saw snow.”
“Neither can I.”
“You lived in the city, didn’t you?”
Shooter nods, “Yeah, our snow weren’t as clean as what you’d get out in the rural parts.”
“You’d be surprised.” Sheriff shrugs, “I remember one time I was playing with the pigs out in the snow, and I swear not five minutes later, all of that snow became mud.” He chuckles, “Ryan came out after a while to play too, and made a point to tell me not to eat the muddy snow. But I think it was a little too late for that…”
Sheriff exhales a reminiscent sigh that begs for the past to come back to him. “I miss that farm, the pigs, and Ryan…”
“Hey, don’t be a Debbie Downer!” Shooter teases, eliciting a smirk from Sheriff.
“You’re right! It’s the season to be jolly after all!” He laughs, before frowning again. “I just wish he was still here…”
Shooter puts a gentle hand on Sheriff’s shoulder. He flinches at the sudden touch, before leaning into it. “You got us Sheriff,” Shooter tries to comfort him, “You got us.”
Sheriff nods, “Thanks Sho—“ mistletoe smacks him in the face.
“Whoops! Sorry!” Katani laughs, moving the mistletoe stick.
Sheriff and Shooter share a confused glance, before looking up.
SHIT—OH MY FUCKIN—SHHHHHHHIITT
Shooters face is what most accurately displays his reaction; bright red. And he knew it too.
“Come on guys, it ain’t gay to kiss your homies!” BP encourages, giggling with Katani.
Sheriff awkwardly laughs, “I mean, he’s right you know?” Shooter doesn’t dare look at him.
Looking at him would make Shooter want to kiss him.
“Come on Shooter, I’m not that bad of a kisser! Swear on it!” Him and his cocky personality, back at it again…
Shooter looks him in the eye, and fucking shit. That was a bad idea. He wanted to disappear into the teal universe that was Sheriff’s eyes, disappear forever in something so beautiful, that it made him a blushing, red, sweaty, shaky, mess.
Every time he dared to meet his gaze.
“Shooter?” Sheriff’s voice draws him out of his mind, prompting him to absentmindedly take a step forward. “Hey I mean, if you don’t wanna do this it’s cool you kn—“
He kissed him.
He actually kissed him.
Only for a split second before pulling back and awkwardly laughing, “You ain’t that bad of a kisser Sheriff, no worries!” He takes a step back, “Ima uh… head off now.”
He hastily walks out of the room, leaving Sheriff in shock, BP and Katani cackling to themselves, and not a single other soul bothered.
Except himself of course.
Because holy shit, he kissed him.
End
I did it yet again, I wrote us some SheriffxShooter content. I was originally gonna make it more fluffy, but I wanted romantic tension so that’s what we get :3
Happy Holidays!

Rose Quartz/Greg Universe | Steven Universe short fanfic | G
A random fic idea
"Greg!"
His girlfriend's voice was a hushed whisper, and her dark eyes were wide with something so raw and hurt even as suppressed as it seemed that he reached out to grab her hand.
Squirming uncomfortably, he tried to tell her: "It's from the construction company-" And here he slid in an undertone of distaste for the damage. "They were building something here." He took a quick breath out to quickly reassure her. "It'll heal."
"What if it doesn't?"
Greg swallowed and remembered that secret trip in June, rows and rows and her dazed expression and wet streaks running down her face that just sank into the ground and dry soil sticking to his jeans that wouldn't seem to go away. And he had taken one look at the door to Rose's cloud-filled haven and thrown them in the trash.
"We can fix this!"
And words tumbled out accidentally and came out too loud.
She tensed and gripped his hand harder, turning to look at him with ringlets falling over her bare shoulders.
"We... can?"
She looked haunted. Out of it.
He nodded firmly and squeezed her hand back.
"We can at least fix this."
"...where, do we even begin?" Her eyes were watering and she quickly wiped her eyes to put on a different face, breathing quick.
He grabbed her other hand.
"Here."
She swallowed. "It's not enough." Guilt.
"It's gonna have to be."

Hellooo 😄 I love your blog and your fics so much! You’re very very talented and you’re feeding my tlou clown brain lmao. If you’re still taking requests for Joel, I think a fic with joel fussing over his shy girl after a close call with a clicker would be super cute. He’d be super worried and she would be the one doing the comforting bc dammit he’s lost so much already almost losing her leaves him emotional.

AN | Aww, but I love this. Just a whole lot of fluff and sweetness!

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
You were trying your best to be as quiet as possible, which happened to be quite a challenge when you were walking through the woods. It was impossible to know exactly what was lying ahead, so all you could was to be as alert and cautious as possible, 
And you were positive that you were doing a good job…until you stepped on a thick branch and it snapped loudly under your feet. You swallowed thickly as you froze, looking around wildly to make sure nothing heard you or decided to come out and attack you. You know, just the average afternoon in this world.
As you got ready to move on, deciding that nothing was coming after you, the unmistakable sound of a clicker. You were trying to decide if you should run away in panic, call for Joel, or try and handle it on your own. 
In the midst of your dilemma, the clicker made its appearance and was running towards at a speed that it really shouldn’t have possessed. Fuck. 
Your shaking hand was reaching for the knife that was strapped to your thigh as you tried to walk backwards. But, as fortune would have it, your foot caught on a tree root and you tripped over it, stumbling and landing on your back. It was rapidly lunging at you and your first instinct was to hold up the knife and wave it around to try and get a good stab in. 
But before you even had to worry about attempting to stab its brain, a gunshot rang out. The frantic scrambling of the clicker ceased and it crumbled to the ground, landing on your feet. Your entire body was shaking as you scrambled out from under its grasp, dropping the knife as you tried to keep the tears from spilling over and crying out loud.
“Honey,” you heard Joel’s voice before you saw him. At this point, your tears pearled up and ran down your cheeks as he dropped to his knees and looked you over. There was nothing but pure worry on his face as he looked you over. You shook your head, silently letting him know that you were okay and had escaped unscathed, “are you okay? What happened?”
“I-I’m okay,” you promised in between sniffles as he took your face in his hands and gently brushed your tears away, “I stepped on a branch and it heard me and then came at me so fast. I tripped over a root a-and it was coming at me. You saved me.”
“Shhh,” he gently shushed you as he pulled you into his arms, hugging onto you tightly as you melted into his arms, “you’re okay. I’ve got you - I’ve always got you, baby.”
“I thought it was going to get me,” you buried your face into his chest, trying to slow your cries down, “I-I thought it was going to-”
“Hey,” he rubbed your back in soothing circles, trying to get that horrible image and idea out of your mind. He didn’t even want to think about it…it might have been the worst thought that he could have had, “don’t worry about that. It didn’t happen, it won’t ever happen.”
“Okay,” he felt you nod, your tears wetting the collar of his shirt. It didn’t matter to him though, he would have taken a million wet shirts as long as he knew that you were okay, “you’re right. Nothing bad will ever happen when we have each other.”
“Exactly,” he promised, pulling back so he could press gentle kisses to your cheeks and forehead before stopping at your lips, “I love you.”
“I love you.”
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
You could feel his eyes on you. Again. 
It seemed you could never go far anymore without him watching you, making sure that you were okay. You looked up from where you were sitting near the dying fire, offering him a small smile before you turned your attention to the smoldering embers. Once upon a time ago, you would have been making s’mores. 
Joel made sure to check on Ellie who was lying in her sleeping bag and reading a book she had brought along before making his way over to you. He sat down on the log next to you, wrapping an arm around your shoulder as you leaned into his side. 
“You doin’ alright?” he whispered softly as you let out a small sigh. It had been a couple days since the incident and he almost hadn’t let you out of his sight since. You shrugged and Joel’s arm instinctively tightened around you, “what’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” you shifted so you could look at him, a pout on your lips. You knew he wouldn’t let it go until he got a decent answer; his stubbornness was one of the things you loved most about him, but sometimes it was overwhelming, “I just feel bad, I dunno.”
“Whatever for?”
“Worrying you,” you admitted shyly, “making you feel like you constantly have to look out for me now. There’s so much else to worry about, including Ellie, and now you have to add me to that list.”
“Is that really what you think?” he asked, an eyebrow perking up in surprise as you found it hard to meet his eyes, “you think all I do is worry about you?”
“I don’t think that’s all you do,” you bit the inside of your cheek as you tried - a vain attempt - to keep from getting too emotional, “I just feel like…I guess I’m just like a burden to you.”
“You are a lot of things,” he laughed softly and the change of emotion caught you off guard, “but a burden you are not. You are anything but a burden, baby.”
“Are you-”
“I’m positive,” he pressed his finger to your lips and shook his head. You couldn’t help the small laugh that bubbled up at his silliness, “all I’m doing is looking out for my baby, okay?”
“Okay,” you mumbled against his finger before wrapping yours around his wrist and gently pulling your hand away, “I’ll protect you too if you ever need it.”
“I know,” his smile was breathtakingly beautiful; you tried to coax it out of him as much as possible, “I know you’ll kick everyone’s ass if you need to.”
“Duh.”
“Can you guys stop being so gross and lovey?” Ellie groaned at the top of you before she tossed an acorn over at the two of you, “some of us are trying to read.”
“We love you too, Ellie Bean,” you said softly and despite her words, you spotted the smile tugging up the corners of her mouth.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Joel insisted that he wasn’t overstressed or worried about you. But that had been a lie; he’d always been big on protecting you but after your close incident with the clicker, that urge to keep you safe increased ten-fold. 
And to be quite honest…you didn’t totally hate it. The primal part of your brain melted at the idea of Joel looking out for you and protecting you. You were his sweet, shy girl, he’d always keep you safe. 
“Are you warm enough?” his sleepy, gruff voice cut through your late night thoughts as he pulled closer into his body. You were all curled up into him, his frame practically draped all over you and his smell comforting. How could you not be warm enough?
“Mhmm,” you shuffled around in his arms so you could turn to face him. You offered up your own sleepy smile as you captured his lips in a soft kiss. You liked kissing Joel, a lot, but there was something about late night sleep kisses that always made your heart melt, “plenty warm and toasty, handsome.”
“You’d tell me if you were cold, right?” you could pick out that tone of worry in his voice immediately. You chuckled softly and nodded as best as you could, “I don’t want you to freeze.”
“I’m not going to freeze,” you huffed in amusement, “you’re like a radiator anyway.”
“Just want to make sure you’re okay,” his pretty eyes were already closing again, his arm wrapped around your waist and his fingers tracing aimless shapes into your soft skin, “can’t have you suffering.”
“I’m not,” you promised, “now hush so we can both get back to sleep.”
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Joel fretted over you, looking over every inch of what you were wearing. You tried to wave him off but he was having none of it. His hands were on your shoulders and his brow furrowed as you tried to contain the grin on your face.
“Are you sure you’re all geared up?” he was asking himself more than anything, a concentrated expression on his face. He looked over your shirt, and sweater, along with the knife on your thigh, the flashlight clipped to your backpack strap, and checked to make sure your boots were properly laced. 
Once he was satisfied with his look over, he put a finger under your chin and turned your face up to his. A reverent little smile was tugging up the corner of your mouth as you studied those pretty honey brown eyes, “well, tell me, am I properly geared up?”
“I suppose you’ll do,” he tried his best to keep his voice serious but you could hear the amusement, “you comfortable, baby? Not too hot, not too cold, everything secured?”
“Affirmative captain,” you beamed and the sight was almost enough to make his heart feel all warm and fuzzy, “what about you, Joel? Got everything you need, all comfortable and ready for action? Which hopefully won’t happen…”
“I’m all good,” he was quick to dismiss your worry but you weren’t about to let him get away that easily. You tutted at him, putting your hands on his shoulders and leaning up to press a kiss to his lips, “really, I-”
“No, no, no,” you narrowed your eyes at him, in malice in the look, only affectionate sternness. He held up his hands in mock surrender as you gave him a firm, satisfied nod, “you get to fret over me, so I get to do the same over you.”
“But there’s-”
“You should know better than to argue with your…what does he call you?” There was a shit -eating grin on Ellie’s face as she looked between the two of you. Joel had experienced one moment of panic and slipped up and she hadn’t let him live it down since, “mine? I think that’s what you called her. Don’t argue with your mine!”
“Ha ha,” he rolled his eyes at the younger girl but there was a pretty tinge of pink coloring his cheeks as you laughed at the two of them. He turned his attention back to you, opening and closing his mouth a few times, “I…didn’t. It just happened in the moment.”
“Lucky for you I like being called yours,” you playfully patted his cheek, “besides, I think labels at this day and age just feel so…weird? Arbitrary? Something like that.”
“It wouldn’t feel right calling you my girlfriend,” he agreed, “you’re so much more than that.”
“Consider me flattered,” you took a step back and gave him a coy little smile, “too bad I only think of you as my boyfriend.”
You turned on your heel as you trekked after Ellie, a spring in your step. You felt him staring after you, able to perfectly picture the expression on his face. 
“Wait -” he followed after you, easily catching up with you, “what do you mean just your boyfriend?”
“Relax,” you turned around so you were facing him and walking backwards, “it was just a joke, handsome. You’re so much more than just my boyfriend. You’re…well, I can’t really put it into words. But, if it’s any consolation, you’re everything to me.”
“Now you’re just flattering me,” he snorted as you shook your head.
“I mean it, Joel Miller,” you reached for his hand, threading your fingers through his, “I love you, handsome.”
“I love you, baby.”
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
The rain had brought life back into the woods you were still working your way through; it was an oddly comforting thing. You broke off from Joel and Ellie once you were all settled for the evening and went down to the pond where you’d noticed a bunch of frogs start to come out.
You grinned as you made your way over to the edge, listening to the melodic croaking from all around you. This reminded you of all the times you’d done this as a kid - even as a young adult - before the world fell apart. It was something so simple, but so comforting. 
Despite the fact that the ground was muddy and wet, you plopped onto your bum and started watching the frogs and other creatures going about their little business. You had to repress your squeal of delight as some of the frogs came near you, and an even braver one jumped into your hand. 
“Hey there little buddy,” you held him up to your face so you could study him, grinning when he crooked softly at you, “it’s so good to see you too. I’m sure you must really like the rain.”
Almost as if he understood you, he made a few more sounds before settling himself in your palm. The sheer trust this little critter had in you made your heart ache; if only people could be like this. You like to believe in the kindness and good hearts of people, but the years had taught not to be so trusting. 
As if you were some sort of Disney princess, you spied a few bunnies coming out and hopping around, their little noses twitching happily. You remained still as you held out your hand in a silent invitation; you were even more surprised when the small bunny decided to take you up on it.
The chocolatey brown rabbit made its way over, sniffing your hand and studying you for a few moments before nudging his head against your hand. You let the small fluff ball take his time before finally petting him out of your own volition. 
“Hey friend,” you cooed softly, “you are too cute.”
He wiggled his way into your lap, already so trusting as you just beamed at him. You inhaled excitedly as you petted him, tears threatening to well up. It had been so long since you’d gotten to pet or touch any sort of animal. This was a moment that made the world feel much less terrifying and harsh than it was.
“I like you,” you picked him up and clutched him to your chest, pressing a kiss to the top of his head and velvety ears. You knew that if Joel was there in the moment, he’d chide you for getting so close to a dirty animal. But you didn’t care - not that at that moment.
You laid down, back on the damp ground but not a care in the world. Your new companion hopped all over your torso, chasing your hand for pets and rubbing its little face onto your skin. 
“That tickles,” you told him through giggles but the little bunny didn’t care. You started to play with him, laughing and squealing at how funny and happy he was, “you’re so cute, it’s not fair!”
You didn’t hear the footsteps running through the clearing until you heard his sharp call of your name. You startled at the sound and lifted your head off the ground to find Joel standing at the edge of the pond, chest rising and falling heavily as he stared at you. His face was an indiscernible mask as you held up your hand in a weak little wave.
“Hi,” you gave him a guilty little expression as your new friend also looked at Joel, “everything alright, my love?”
“I called for you,” his hands were on his hips as he walked over to you. You knew that stance all too well, “and you were gone. I’m walking around and looking for you when I heard what could be either crying or laughing. Naturally, my mind went to the worst possible conclusion. Especially after what happened not that long ago - you need to be more careful, baby.”
“Sorry,” your face flushed with warmth as you slowly sat up, gently holding onto the bunny, “I said I was going to the pond, I thought you’d heard me.”
“It’s alright,” he came over and crouched down so he was eye level with you. With a heavy sigh, he pressed a kiss to your forehead, “I’m glad you’re okay. What are you even doing out here - it’s wet and cold.”
“Enjoying a slice of life,” you gestured around, “the frogs came out with the rain and I wanted to see them. I used to love seeing them as a kid. And then I met this little guy! He’s precious…I wish we could keep him.”
“You’re something else,” he shook his head with nothing but reverent fondness as he too touched the bunny’s ears, “but I’m glad you were able to find a little bit of peace. If things were different, I’d say we could keep him, but…”
“I know,” you smiled sadly at the creature, “it was nice while it lasted. Sorry buddy…I’m sure you’ll be happy to stay with your family.”
He nudged his nose against your finger, almost as if he could understand what you were saying. You set him back down and he started to hop away, but turned around before he disappeared and gave you one last look. You saw his little family waiting nearby for him. 
“Hey,” Joel gently tapped his fingers against your cheek, “it’ll be okay. One day we’ll get a pet in our own home.”
“Promise?”
“Of course,” he took your hand in his much larger one and helped you to your feet. He pulled you into his arms and pressed a kiss to the crown of your head, “I love you, sweet girl.”
“I love you, handsome.”

The amount of concentration a formula one driver needed was beyond compare. Holding p1 against Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen was consuming every bit of energy strength and concentration you stocked up in your soul.
You were so close to the chequered flag, so close to your first world title. You could hear Arabic commentary over the loud speakers of Abu Dhabi, you could feel your heartbeat in your chest, the adrenaline flowing in your veins and very blood. This would've been it. Your childhood dream. Your life goal.
Highlight the word: would've.
You somehow found yourself upside down on turn 16. Saved by the halo, you watched as your rivals passed you. Your vision was doubled and your body was numb, you didn't even realise that the marshals had already taken you out.
you couldn't feel anymore, you couldn't hear anything, people were moving you around and you could barely stand on your feet, knees buckling several times. Your vision was blurry and disoriented. Your throat hurts.
And of course, everyone's favourite part, you were forgotten. Sitting on the floor of the Porsche garage, alone. You could see the colours and blurbs of people celebrating and hugging, you could hear the muffled and distant noise and music, the cheer and laughter.
From leading every lap to a DNF in less than 30 seconds, you watched Max hug his team and shake hands with other drivers. Even your parents congratulated him, shaking his hands with your father and sharing a quick hug from your mother.
You continued to sit, while everyone left the garage to watch the podium celebration. Wasn't this exactly why you were in this sport in the first place? To be on that very podium, on the highest pedestal, singing your country's anthem as you draped the flag on your shoulders, to hold the trophy up high.
Time passed as you held your head between your knees, sitting in the same spot. You only moved when someone gently took off your helmet gently, pulling off your balaclava.
Was he talking? His voice was muffled and you couldn't see well enough to read his lips. The man gently used his sleeve to wipe your eyes. Free of tears and no longer blurry, you looked at Max.
His lips were pursed as he looked into your eyes. Your hearing slowly came back as he cupped your cheek, pulling you in a hug. You were hesitant to hug back, but you did, finding yourself hugging him tight as sobs started escaping your lips.
Realisation hits you like a truck.
It was over . . .
You lost.
Max stood up, pulling you to your feet with him while he rocked you gently. He pressed your head into his shoulder, turning around so your back would be facing towards any cameras who would try to capture you in your weak moments.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." You repeated over and over. He didn't know why you were apologising but Max let you vent out your feelings. You have been wearing a cool face all weekend despite how nervous and frustrated he could tell you were, you deserved to be let free.
Two days passed and the FiA publicly apologised to you and your team. Marshals had failed to clear all derbies off the track which caused your crash. Although some people were mad about it ( your brand, team and fans definitely were ), and filed complaints, even going to the extent of suing the FiA; you did not care.
You take a plane back to Monaco after receiving a lecture from your father and mother. And you've been laying in your bed with the blinds closed ever since.
The only time you got out of your bed was when there was a ring at your door. You ignored it at first, but it rang two more times ( building up frustration because you were busy not watching your parents' disappointment on tv on loop ).
You slammed the door open, a dark glare being sent to the person who was about to ring the doorbell one more time. Max looked at you from the corner of his eye before lowering his hand away from the bell, looking at you sheepish smile on his face. "You're not wearing pants." He pointed out as he invited himself into your apartment. "I can tell, Max." You chuckled closing the door after him

𝑿𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒓
You came home after a tiring day of overtime. Your plan was to make a simple dinner, then a long sleep until morning to recover. Yet from afar, you witnessed a plume of black smoke rising from your residence.
Based on the location of the black smoke, you knew right away that the troubled residence was one level above yours. That was precisely the house of…
“Xavier!”
You cried out, almost a scream. You took off running in that direction. The building's occupants remained oblivious to the situation, and your first concern was locating Xavier. He had the day off. He's probably still inside.
The fire alarm in the hallway was still silent since the smoke had not yet extended to that area. You impatiently rang the doorbell, then slammed your fist on the door while calling Xavier's name.
A few minutes later, you heard the door open from inside. You were welcomed with the sound of the fire alarm along with a plume of smoke and a burning stench. Amidst the chaos, Xavier's face emerged, with black streaks running across it and his hair disheveled and coated in white powder. He was also wearing an apron that was scorched at the hem and blood was seeping from one of his fingers.
“Xavier!” You grabbed his body and observed. “You're bleeding!”
Xavier saw then that a deep and lengthy cut had been made on his finger. He brought it up to his eyes, then put it back down.
“Let me get your first aid kit.” You said, one foot stepped inside but Xavier pulled you back.
“Don't go in there.”
"Why not?"
Xavier must have been attempting to disguise some humiliation based on the way he was acting. He remained silent and continued to hold your arm tightly.
“Why is your apartment in this state? Is there a Wanderer?”
You had checked your watch on the way here. This area was still pretty safe. You just failed to see why Xavier came to be in this situation. What could possibly bring such suffering upon such a respected Hunter as him?
You peeped inside. By then, the fire alarm had been fully deactivated. There was still some smoke in the kitchen, and the air smelled burning. You removed Xavier's hand that was placed on you and ran inside. While the crisis was soothed by the fire hose, it also unleashed an unparalleled mayhem over Xavier's entire kitchen. But it might have probably been chaotic the moment he had decided to cook something in here.
Xavier trailed you, wearing an unsettling, guilty look.
“You… What were you doing in here?” You questioned, no longer trusting what you saw. There was flour all over the counter and floor, and something in the oven had burnt black and melted into a deep pool of sugar. Dishes, pots, and pans were arranged on the counter as though he was either planning to inventory the kitchen utensils or planning to throw them all away.
Without waiting for his reply, you already grasped the situation. With a heavy sigh, you turned back to face him and said:
“I thought we agreed that you should stay out of the kitchen?”
Xavier gave you an innocent, almost sinless look.
“Um… I'm sorry… Since you often come home late from work these days, I thought… I could make you a surprise dinner, along with some desserts…”
You turned back to look at the kitchen. The "dinner" he spoke of lay still in the pan, its contents so burnt you could no longer discern what it was.
You took Xavier's hand away. "Let's go. To my place.”
Xavier let you lead him back to your apartment and obediently sat down on the sofa while you went to find the first aid kit. You cleaned his wound and then applied a band-aid on it. After giving the band-aid a close inspection, he turned to face you and grinned, saying:
“These bunnies are so cute.”
You didn't say anything, just turned away to pack first aid supplies back to where they belonged. Xavier's voice still rang out monotonously:
"Thank you. And… I'm also sorry since I wanted to surprise you, but ended up causing you more trouble.”
You remained silent the entire time, in part because you were too concerned about him and, because of the anger you felt when he ignored what you said and went into the kitchen. Even though he had good intentions to take care of you, the thought of him being in danger put you in great panic.
“Do you think these are good bunnies?” You gestured at the bandage on Xavier. When you asked that, he seemed a little astonished, but he nodded. "They listen to me and don't run around the kitchen making a mess," you went on. "Unlike a certain bunny I know…”
Xavier showed an apologetic face. “I'm… sorry…” Then he took out a few chocolates from his pocket. They fit easily into his strong grasp. “These are free gift with baking supplies… At least we still have this for dinner.”
You chuckled as you glanced at them and then back at him.
“Leave the dinner to me. But this..." You held Xavier's wounded hand. "Are you hurt?" You asked.
With a cooing voice, Xavier nodded like a toddler and said: "It's very, very painful."
You laughed. Hundreds of Wanderers had been defeated by this young man, yet he suffered a simple cut.
“Then leave dinner to me. As for this wound..." You stopped for a moment to raise his hand very close to your lips. Your fingers gently rubbed his hand, then you kissed the rabbit band-aid. “Get well soon.”

You immediately ran to Rafayel's studio after his text message. He only said it was an emergency and needed you to be there at seven o'clock.
The entrance to the studio was unlocked. You entered cautiously. To be sure there was no danger here, you looked around. Rafayel was nowhere to be found when you searched the gallery and living room.
Impatient you were as you had no idea what could happen to Rafayel. You were about to call out his name, but at that moment, you heard a noise from the kitchen. You crept closer, afraid that there was still danger there. You entered the dining room to find everything redone, including roses, unlit candles and the circular dining table with two chairs facing each other. You grew even more curious about why Rafayel wanted you to come here so urgently.
Through the open door, you caught a glimpse of Rafayel's back on the opposite side. He was staring at a pot on the stove. The steam and smoke released cause the temperature in the kitchen to gradually increase. It was easy to see that Rafayel was sweating profusely on the back of his shirt. You breathed a sigh of relief. He was still safe even though he had not sensed your presence yet. He continued his story as if there was another person in the kitchen.
“…You know, when she's shy, her face is as red as your color when you're steamed.”
You frowned. Who was he talking to? And about who?
“These days, she's a little bit slimmer now than she was. She often leaves early and stays at work late. Her missions must be very stressful. Unlike you, so fat and round, you almost don't fit in my pot."
You heard Rafayel tapping the ladle on the contents of the pot. The smell of boiled crab and seafood filled the kitchen. What was he doing here?
“Anyway, thank you for coming here. Please help her gain a little weight. I love giving her plump cheeks a poke to watch how she reacts. Haha…”
It was not a surprise to you that Rafayel talked to himself. But to the crab he was cooking?... You wondered what would be better, to let him finish his meal or to come in and say hello?
“Do you think she will come? Since she's so busy, I'm not sure. What if she really ignores my messages? Then it'll just be me and you, and all the seafood I've prepared for her... Well, she'll definitely come, right?"
It turned out he had tricked you into coming to the studio with that text message. To get Tara to assist you with the last thirty minutes of work, you had to bribe her with boba tea. Then, you had to rush as quickly as you could to see him. You coughed loudly in the kitchen, signaling your presence there and that you knew his entire plot.
Rafayel gently turned around, as though your presence hadn't startled him.
“Oh, how come you're here so early?”
As if nothing had occurred, he grinned. Additionally, he was wearing a vibrant apron, on which you could very well assume he had painted it himself.
“Hurry and take a seat. Everything has been prepared for you. All that's left is this crab."
“You called me here for this emergency matter?”
Rafayel blinked. He carried the ladle in one hand still. “Ah, that's right. This is truly urgent.”
"Seafood? Flowers and candles? You cooking? Rafayel, what's going on?
Rafayel set down the ladle and moved in your direction. “Since you've been working so much lately, I thought a surprise dinner would make you happier.”
You clenched her fist and gave Rafayel a painful blow in the chest.
“Ouch!”
"You idiot! I ran for my life here immediately after that message. I thought something happened to you… If something really happened to you, then I…”
Rafayel raised his hand, not to ease the pain you just gave him, but to squeeze your wrist.
“Are you so frantic… because you're worried about me?”
Rafayel gave you a very affectionate look. A grin formed at the corners of his lips. The hand that was holding you moved along your wrist and hand, trying to soothe the anger in your heart. You admitted, you worried about him like crazy. You thought of all the bad things that could have happened to him on the way here. As for him, nothing happened to him except that he probably had told the crab many nasty things about you.
“Next time, I will just ignore you.” You pulled your hand away from Rafayel. He released his grip on you only to encircle your waist with both arms.
“If I hadn't said it was urgent, would you have come so quickly?”
“You just need to say you have a hearty seafood meal…” You grumbled, but enjoyed the sensation of rubbing against him, even though his body now smelled of boiled crab. “I wouldn't miss a single crab for anything.”
You heard Rafayel burst into laughter. “Then milady, would you help me set the table? Your crab will be ready soon.”

You were a bit surprised because Zayne had asked you to come to his house on a weeknight. He would typically be really busy at that time. You got off work early so you went straight to his house. Zayne was a little taken aback to find you waiting at the entrance that early hour. Nonetheless, you were just as astonished to find him in casual attire, wearing a dark apron without patterns.
“Oh… Sorry I'm a bit early. I didn't know you were busy in the kitchen..."
"No problem." Zayne replied. He invited you into his house. “I'm preparing dinner. For you."
“For me?” You were taken aback since he had made no mention of having supper together. His message was quite brief, giving you the impression that he needed to speak with you in person instead. However, you were delighted since he was taking great care of you.
“I’m so happy right now. I didn’t expect the busy Dr. Zayne could make dinner for me.”
“You’ve been working extra hard lately. It’s my job as your physician to make sure you eat well and enough.”
You beamed, “I’m really grateful.”
Zayne replied with a smile and returned to the kitchen. You trailed closely behind. You took a look at the tidy kitchen, filled with the aroma of food, making your stomach rumble.
“Do you need my help?”
You approached him, waiting for instructions. On the stove was an extremely delicious grilled salmon. It also caught your attention that several of the other dishes were nearly done. A basket of veggies, golden egg rolls, and miso tofu soup were served.
Zayne motioned for you to turn to face the spice cabinet as his fingers deftly encircled the chopsticks.
“Teriyaki sauce.”
"Coming right up." You cheered and went to look on the shelf for exactly what Zayne needed. You had spent enough time here to be familiar with his well-kept kitchen. He focused on dinner without saying anything else. Every now and again a drop of sweat showed up on his forehead.
Zayne was far more skilled in the kitchen than you were. You simply hurried around the kitchen assisting him with various tasks. After the meal was cooked, he gave you the task of setting food on the table.
“Take caution. It's hot.” Zayne warned you carefully, but you still clumsily allowed your hand to come into contact with the boiling soup pot.
You jumped up and made a loud "oops" sound. Zayne frowned, immediately moved over to stand next to you, and grasped your hands with red fingers.
"Hot, hot, hot!"
You attempted to rub your fingertips together, but the scorching sensation persisted. Zayne held your hands open and looked down.
“It's not serious. Just a little bit of irritation. Can you put your hands in—”
Before he could finish speaking, you perked up on tiptoe and put your crimson fingers to his earlobes. Zayne alerted with wide eyes.
"What are you doing?"
"Healing myself." You laughed aloud. The sensation of burning in your hands eventually subsided. As a little child, Grandma had taught you this trick to treat burns when you accidentally touched something too hot. Zayne knew that too. To save you the trouble of having to stand on your tiptoes, he drew closer.
"Are your hands feeling better now?" His voice was really soft as he asked. Your face felt the sudden rush of his breath, your body temperature raised even more.
"Just a little." You replied while pretending to grimace. “If someone could use his Evol, maybe it would heal faster?”
Zayne sighed, but you could see a faint smile forming on his lips, and his ears began to flush. A cold touch reached your hands, followed by a pleasant feeling when the skin no longer burned.
“Can you let go now?” Zayne asked, and you felt regretful when you had to let go.
“Thank you, Dr. Zayne.”
A hand of yours was grasped in Zayne's big palm. He caressed each finger and whispered:
“I can't always be there to take care of you. Don't be so careless next time, promise?"

te extraño | enzo vogrincic fluff
summary: tu y enzo tuvieron una discusión antes de que él se fuera a viajar, pero ni siquiera recuerdas por qué.
hola! si quieres, hazme asks para fics con enzo ;)
dedico esta para mis amores de ternurinas <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
hace una semana, enzo estaba fuera de casa, rodando en españa. llevaba siete días sin ver a su novio. habían pasado 10.080 minutos sin él, la angustia le oprimía el pecho tan dolorosamente que sólo pensar en volver a verlo la dejaba sin aliento. no era extraño extrañar a su novio, la otra vez llevaban dos meses sin verse, pero esta vez la sensación de nostalgia era diferente, porque hacía exactamente ocho días habían tenido una discusión que acabó con enzo yéndose sin despedirse. cosa que nunca ocurrió. 
inevitablemente, volvieron a hablarse a través de mensajes. un aviso de que había llegado y alguna que otra conversación para comprobar que todo iba bien, pero nada muy natural, todo seguía pareciendo tenso. y lo más cómico era que al menos recordaba lo que habían discutido. 
ahora se encontraba en el sofá, mordiéndose las uñas, ansiosa por saber cómo sería cuando él volviera, ¿cómo se disculparía? ¿cómo se justificaría? no tenía ni idea. probablemente debería haber empezado. algún comentario insinuante, alguna sospecha estúpida, algo que nunca debería haber ocurrido, pero ahora era demasiado tarde. enzo había dicho que volvería al día siguiente, y desde entonces se había estado devanando los sesos intentando planear algo bonito, un poco romántico, una rendición. ¿quizás una cena? ¿un regalo? ¿qué haría si él parecía tan molesto?
su mente iba a demasiados sitios, a demasiadas situaciones, invocaba paranoias que empezaban a deprimirla aún un poco. ¿y si estaba cansado de la relación? ¿y si lo de iros a vivir juntos había sido una decisión precipitada? ¿y si puso fin a las cosas cuando regresó? sería horrible perderle. no volver a despertar a su lado probablemente te sumiría en un horrible estado de desesperación. sólo pensarlo te daban ganas de vomitar. aunque suene dramático, es la verdad.
uma y ada, las bellotas peludas, estaban en una disputa incansable sobre su regazo, como si se dieran cuenta de lo preocupada que estaba, y como fieles escuderas, la rodeaban y ronroneaban como si quisieran responderle cuando empezaba a murmurar para sí misma.
"oh, chicas, ¿cómo puedo ser tan idiota?", un suspiro cansado salió de sus labios mientras acariciaba el pelaje de uma, que maulló en respuesta. quizás tenía razón. 
incluso pensó en enviarle un mensaje a matías y preguntarle cómo estaba enzo, tal vez personalmente sus nervios podrían ser muy diferentes ahora. tal vez matí le daría una pista sobre qué hacer, después de todo, eran amigos íntimos. pero temía ser demasiado invasiva. sólo sabía que tenía que encontrar la manera, pero se le escapaban todas las palabras. cena en casa, algo íntimo y su postre favorito, decidió finalmente. algo íntimo, tal vez una botella de vino y podrían hablar de lo que fuera que estuviera mal. enzo siempre sabía hablar, era fácil hablar de sentimientos con él, ¿no? pero al mismo tiempo, temía que enzo lo interpretara como un intento de compensarlo. no quería parecer desesperada, pero no podía ignorar el hecho de que había que decir algo.
finalmente se levantó, decidiendo revisar la heladera y ver qué podía preparar para el día siguiente, pero faltaban muchas cosas, por lo que un viaje al mercado sería su distracción para la tarde. sin pensarlo mucho, se puso las zapatillas y se echó un jersey por encima, demasiado inerte en sus pensamientos como para preocuparse por su aspecto. y justo cuando estaba frente a la puerta, el picaporte se movió. su cuerpo se congeló, una reacción de miedo. alguien intentaba entrar en el piso, por el amor de dios. cogió rápidamente una cuchara de madera de la cocina y observó a quienquiera que fuese a través de la mirilla. y entonces sus piernas flaquearon un momento. 
"¡enzo!", exclamó eufórica, abriendo la puerta a velocidad récord. una sonrisa se dibujó en su rostro al ver de nuevo a su novio, y cuando abrió la puerta del todo, allí estaba él, con sus inseparables joggers negros y el pelo detrás de las orejas, tan precioso. tan hermoso, con una sonrisa en la cara tan grande como la suya.
enzo tenía una expresión que mezclaba sorpresa y alivio. sus ojos se encontraron con los suyos y, por un momento, lo único que pareció importar fue que volvían a estar juntos. sin pensarlo, sus piernas rodearon su cintura, y enseguida, las manos de enzo la sujetaron por los muslos. manteniéndola firme y tan cerca como pudo de su pecho.
"no pude resistirme. tenía que volver antes", confesó, con la voz tan dolida como sentía su corazón. pareció vacilar un momento antes de continuar. "te extraño tanto, gorda".
sus labios se encontraron con los de él tan vorazmente que era imposible saber quién había empezado el beso. sentir la suave y caliente boca de enzo contra la tuya después de tanto tiempo era como entrar en un oasis privado, que restauraba cada pequeña parte de ti y hacía que todo lo demás, tu entorno, el mundo, tus problemas, todo desapareciera. en un instante, todas las preocupaciones e inseguridades parecían extinguirse, sustituidas por la felicidad de tener a enzo de vuelta en casa. era adictivo e insaciable besarle, sentir su lengua bailar suavemente bajo la suya mientras sus manos recorrían su espalda. ahora sentía las piernas como gelatina, todo su cuerpo reducido a nada más que una sensación cálida y líquida. sentir el calor de su piel mientras sus manos recorren su nuca y luego bajo la tela de sus hombros, sentir la contracción de los músculos de su espalda. es casi una experiencia religiosa.
"lo... lo siento, estaba preocupadísima..." te apresuras a decir cuando se rompe el beso, porque desgraciadamente aún hacía falta oxígeno, pero enseguida te interrumpe enzo, que apoya su frente contra la tuya. de repente, te das cuenta de que sigues en medio del pasillo del edificio.
"lo sé, cariño. lo sé", murmura contra tus labios, abrazando tu cuerpo con tanta ternura, como si pudiera romperse en mil pedazos si te soltara. tal vez lo haría.
así que enzo la colocó suavemente sobre su regazo, cogió su mochila y entró en el piso, sin la menor intención de soltarla. ahora que había vuelto, sería difícil escaparse al menos tres días seguidos. empuja la puerta del piso con el pie y, sin perder tiempo, la coloca bajo el brazo del sofá, dejando caer la mochila en cualquier rincón, para poder por fin sujetarle la cara con ambas manos, estirando desde los pulgares bajo la mandíbula hasta las puntas de los dedos en las sienes. la rodilla de enzo golpea contra su muslo e, instintivamente, hace espacio entre sus piernas para que él quede entre ellas. pasa un rato acariciando tus mejillas, sus ojos apreciando cada marca de tu cara que conoce tan bien, que incluso si cerrara los ojos podría nombrar cada una. sus ojos tienen un brillo familiar e intenso que te envuelve por completo, haciendo imposible estar fuera de esa burbuja construida alrededor de los dos. de nuevo, saboreas su beso cuando se inclina para besarte, disfrutando de cada detalle, de la textura, de su olor familiar y agradable, de la cercanía, de las pequeñas interrupciones en su respiración, de los pequeños suspiros. se disfruta cada bendito segundo. enzo la besa como si estuviera hambriento. como si contara cada segundo desde que salió por la puerta.
"ni siquiera recuerdo por qué nos peleábamos", dice entre bocanadas de aire. sigue con los ojos cerrados, pero se le nota que está sonriendo. qué cabrón. "¿te acuerdas?"
"no tengo ni idea", es todo lo que puedes responder. toda la expectación de todo el día, toda la preocupación y el miedo se olvidan y quedan enterrados en ese momento. la idea de estar separados está ahora muy, muy lejos de tu mente. "creía que estabas enojado conmigo"
"creía que tu estabas enojada conmigo", admite, con énfasis. una risa al unísono es compartida, la confusión se convierte en una broma tonta.
su presencia desborda júbilo, su corazón como una fuente de amor, acompañado de inquietas mariposas en la boca del estómago. esa sensación nunca desaparecería. nunca sabría lo que sería no amarle. la sensación de estar con él era algo completamente indescriptible, incluso las luces parecían más cálidas, los colores más vibrantes. como volver a estar en órbita.
"y sólo quiero que sepas que, pasase lo que pasase antes, ahora estoy aquí, y no quiero estar ni un minuto más lejos de ti". con la más pura sinceridad, declara enzo, cogiéndole la mandíbula e inclinándola para que le mire. para asegurarse.
le dan ganas de tragárselo. es algo extraño, pero está creciendo dentro de ti. no quieres perder ni un segundo enfadándote por estupideces.
las bellotas peludas, uma y ada, que observaban la escena con curiosidad, se acercaron y empezaron a frotarse contra las piernas de enzo, como si le dieran la bienvenida. enzo volvió a reír y se inclinó para acariciarlas.
"vosotras también me extrañában, ¿no?", bromea con las gatas, con un tono de voz como si hablara con bebés.
sonríe ante la interacción, dejando que se aleje un momento, sabiendo que ellas le extrañaban tanto como tú. miras el piso por encima del hombro de enzo y te das cuenta de que, cuando él no está, es una casa más. su mera existencia convertiría cualquier lugar en un hogar. dios, cómo le extrañaba.
"pensaba hacer una cena especial mañana, pero ahora... creo que ya hemos empezado a celebrarlo, ¿no?" dices, sintiendo que tu cara se ruboriza al recordar su estado. no esperabas que llegara tan pronto, desearías haber hecho algo para darle la bienvenida. debía de estar muerto de hambre. y a ti también te gustaría estar más presentable, pero a él no parece importarle.
enzo asintió, todavía con una sonrisa radiante, volviendo a centrar su atención en ti. "por supuesto. me encantaría que me hicieras la cena, pero por ahora creo que necesito quedarme aquí, cerca". te acerca y apoya tu cabeza contra su pecho. "ya no te preocupes, ¿vale? sólo nosotros dos, las gatas y este momento".
te ríes, asintiendo, y él se inclina para besarte la nariz. 
"te quiero, chiquita".
