Test Dummy 

By Leefloof 

Summary: Alice gets called into the testing room to “help” the scientists with a new product they’ve been working on. It turns out to be quite different from what Alice had in mind.

Ft. Alice, Scientist (Alex), Scientist 2 (Max), Scientist 3 (Emma)

Notes: My brain wanted lee!Alice for a change, gal deserves some tickles. And I might work on requests if I have the time too, not this time, but definitely the next if I’m not as busy. (Back from my fic making haitus!😘)

Enjoy! ‧₊˚ ꪔ̤̥ ꪔ̤̮ ꪔ̤̱ ˚₊‧

“Now remind me why I gotta test your dumb invention again? Everyone else was up for grabs y’know.” Alice said as she followed Alex closely, peds echoing throughout the monotoned hall

To say Alice was irritated was an understatement. Apparently the scientists had wanted her to test out their product before it gets sent to JcJenson to get approved again. She had been used as a test subject for early prototypes before, often resulting in explosions or being launched into the air. Despite always ending up with a cracked visor, she was more annoyed that she seemed to be their go-to test dummy for new experiments.

The scientist sighed as he rolled his eyes and the worker’s question, “Because 017, you haven’t been in the testing room for quite some time now. The other subjects have already had their testings and now it’s your turn.” 

To be more specific, he showed Alice the schedule for her and the other subjects on his clipboard, a big red circle surrounding a date with her ID number. 

Alex smirked smugly, noticing Alice's slight irritation. "You're quite late, as you can see," he remarked. "However, I must admit that this project took longer than expected, so it's not entirely your fault for being late."

"Of course it ain't," Alice retorted. "You folks always be tryin’ to point fingers at somebody else."

Eventually, the two halted in front of a door at the end of the hallway to be greeted with two wide grey doors. Alex took it upon himself to open one of them for Alice before giving a smug bow to her. 

“Ladies first.” Alex said 

The worker remained silent, glaring at him before entering the dull room. Soon after, she heard Alex close the door behind her. 

"Alright, let's just get this over with," Alice muttered, her voice tinged with exasperation. 

She stretched her limbs and continued her trek towards the testing room. Having been subjected to countless experiments with these inventions, she knew to anticipate something dangerous and extravagant at Cabin Fever Labs. However, what awaited her surpassed her expectations.

Inside the testing room sat a plain, grey box. It was nothing more than that, and in Alice's eyes, it seemed like something even less. She couldn't help but let out a chuckle at the sight before her. This was what had taken them so long to complete? A mere box? It seemed that the confinement of the lab had truly affected their sanity, for the so-called "greatest minds" of the company had produced nothing more than a simple box.

"Pfft-is that it? Just a plain ol’ box? I had much higher expectations, like a death ray or somethin’. But a dang ol’ box? Is this some kind of joke?" Alice chuckled, finding amusement in the object before her.

After a while, she cleared her virtual tears and approached it. She circled around the box, trying to figure out its purpose. Giving it a few taps on the top, she confirmed that it was indeed made of metal. As her fingers touched the surface, the light reflected and created ripples across the cube, still she was unimpressed.

Alice faced the expansive mirror on a wall, aware that the scientists were observing her. Leaning on the box, she gave a disapproving look to the team that potentially stood on the other side.

"Well, it seems you've created a colossal night light for the youngsters. How adorable! Were you all so bored that you needed me to inspect a night light? Honestly, this is hilarious," Alice remarked with a smug grin.

Meanwhile, in the observation room, Alex felt a bit annoyed by Alice's comment about the invention they had spent months working on. However, he managed to put on a smug smile, knowing that their invention had more capabilities than just lighting up.

One of the scientists approached Alex's chair and leaned in to speak to him.

"Should we activate it now, sir?" she asked.

"No, not yet. She's not in position," Alex replied. "Give Max the signal when 017 is in front."

The scientist simply nodded and returned to watching the drone mock the machinery.

As for said worker, Alice was thoroughly enjoying herself for once. It was the first time she wasn't forced to be strapped down to a table or chair, only to be destroyed in order to test the lab's new toys. Finally, she was the one in control, or so she believed.

Once she finally had her fun with the invention, she walked back in front of it to admire it once more, still amused by the fact that it was their latest creation. Giving it a pat, she watched the light dance through the box.

"Can't believe they came up with this," Alice chuckled to herself, stepping back to give it a playful kick.

Satisfied, she turned to the camera, knowing she had completed her inspection of the product.

"Hey, geniuses! I checked out your little box! It looks good for kids, so you can—” Alice didn’t have enough time to complete her sentence as se felt a tug at her ankle causing her to fall face first to the hard padded floor. 

Upon impact, she let out a yelp and quickly turned her head to see the source of her fall. To her surprise, she was met with a gloved mechanical hand, its arm reaching towards the box's mysterious opening. Confusion filled her mind as she questioned when the box had even had an opening.

Before she could utter a word, the hand forcefully pulled Alice into the box at an unexpectedly rapid pace. Filled with panic, she desperately kicked at the hand while desperately clawing at the floor, leaving deep marks in her desperate attempt to resist being dragged inside.

"Ah! What the hell?! What is this?!" Alice exclaimed. 

With a strong pull, the hand dragged Alice into the box before it shut completely, muffling her surprised cry from within. The box then illuminated in a bright orange hue similar to her color, indicating that the worker was successfully inside. 

Alex cheered in triumph, pleased that the two mechanisms had worked, while the scientist next to him also smiled at the achievement. 

"Alright! Finally! I've been trying to get that thing to work for ages!" Alex exclaimed, raising his fist in the air. 

"Um, sir, what is the purpose of this device exactly? Is it just to trap unsuspecting workers?" she inquired. 

"It's more than that, actually. I don't have a camera in there, but we don't need one. All we have to do is listen to that worker scream," Alex said with a slightly malicious grin. 

"But didn't the boss specifically say not to harm any of the subjects? You're risking getting fired, you know," she warned. 

"Who said a little scare would hurt anyone, Emma? She'll be fine, don't worry," Alex replied confidently.

As soon as Alice entered the box, she felt the slight tightness of the space. The hand that had pulled her in quickly retreated, leaving Alice to collide with the wall behind her. Although the impact wasn't too painful, it left a tender spot on her back. Rubbing her hip to ease the discomfort, Alice regained her composure and took in her surroundings. The interior of the box was surprisingly colorful, adorned with shades of pink and blue. The walls were plush and soft, not perfect but certainly more comfortable than the sterile testing room she had just left.

Alice tried to get in a more comfortable position as she pounded on the walls, hoping the scientists would release her. She had no idea what this thing would do to her, but she didn't want to stick around to find out. Things always seemed to go downhill when she stayed too long.

"Hey! Let me out!" Alice yelled in frustration. "Alex! I swear to Copper if y’all don’t let me out right now!”

There was no response.

Eventually, she stopped hitting the walls and slumped back against them. It seemed like they were going to leave her there. Maybe she shouldn't have insulted their invention.

“Great,” Alice huffed 

Not paying attention, Alice suddenly felt something grab her wrists. Looking down, she saw two gloved hands gently but firmly holding onto her. She tried to pull away, but the hands tugged her back against the wall, pinning her wrists in place.

Alice grunted as her back met the wall again but this time, surprisingly gentler than before. The worker tried to get out of their grasps once more, only to be met with the same result, not budging. If this was the end result for the scientists little experiment, then she might as well wait to be released. 

But before she could think about how she was going to kill the three, she was met with another pair of gloved hands, then another pair, and another till there were eight hands in total. 

Alice’s eyes hollowed in surprise of the six more hands appearing and snaking out of the holes that they had. Feeling wary, she pulled her legs up as a way to distance herself from the hands as they start to come closer.  

“Hey, stay back now I’m warnin’ ya.” Alice glared trying to at least intimidate the hands from coming closer, which she should’ve figured that it wouldn’t work since they continued their approach. 

"I said get back!" Alice glared once again, this time attempting to kick the hands away. Unfortunately, this proved to be a mistake as one of the hands swiftly grabbed hold of her leg, followed by another hand pinning her down.

Well, great job, Alice. You've really gotten yourself into a mess now, she thought, snapping her attention back to the two pairs of hands now resting on her torso, causing her to flinch in surprise.

“He-hey, what do ya think you’re doin’?” Alice nervously stammered, trying to stay calm as she wondered what they were planning to do to her. Tear her apart? Crush her? Break her?

She didn't have to wait long to find out as one of them squeezed her side, causing her to yelp in surprise. It became clear to her what their intentions were. Oh no.

The hand continued to poke and prod her, trying to elicit a reaction. Despite her best efforts to resist, Alice couldn't help but start giggling as the other hands joined in, tickling and squeezing her until she couldn't hold back anymore. She broke into laughter, squirming as they continued to playfully torment her.

“Hehehey! Stohohop! Cut it out!” Alice giggled out as she tried to get the hands to stop

The hands squealed with delight as they continued to tickle their new playmate, showing no signs of stopping. Some of the hands grew bored with tickling one area and moved on to her tummy and knees, causing the worker to burst into even louder laughter.

“Aahahahahaha! Stohohop! C’mohohon quit ihihit!” Alice guffawed, desperately trying to free herself from the hands that held her in place. She couldn't imagine things getting any worse.

“HAhahahaha! Snort! Ahahahaha!” 

Oh, things were about to get so much worse. 

The hands paused their playful attack when Alice snorted, giving her a moment to catch her breath. Confused, the worker wondered why they had stopped until one hand tickled her ribs again, causing another snort from Alice. The hands squeaked with excitement and began to move once more.

They targeted specific tickle spots, some on her feet, allowing her to move her legs, while others were on her torso and neck. Panic set in as Alice watched the hands, anticipating where they would tickle next.

“H-hey c-come on guys…we can talk about th-THIHIHIHIS!!” Alice squealed as they began their onslaught once again digits scribbling across her tickle spots all at once. 

“EHEHEAHAHAHAHAHA! Snort! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!” 

Things couldn’t get as worse as this right? She really needed to stop saying that.

The worker was startled as she felt fingers creeping behind her back, moving up and down repeatedly. If Alice wasn't already struggling, she certainly was now, bursting into laughter and vigorously trying to escape from the hands by bucking and kicking.

“AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Snort! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Snort! STA-STAHAHAHAHAHAP!!” the worker howled as her screen turned into a bright shade of orange 

Alice began to fight even harder, managing to break free from the hands that had pinned her to the wall. She fell to the ground, hugging herself tightly to shield herself from the tickling, only for the hands to continue their tickly assault.

Alice, unable to escape, surrendered to her fate and lay motionless. Her earlier struggles had drained her of energy. She weakly clutched her stomach, tears of mirth welling up as she laughed even harder.

“AH! GAHAHAHAHAHA! NOHOHOHO NOHOT THEHERE! SOHOMBODY HEHEHELP MEHEHE! Snort!” Alice shrieked again “PLEHEHEASE! I’M SOHOHOHORRY FOR CALLING THE BOHOHOX DUMB! JUST MAHAKE IT STOHOP!!” 

As if in response to her plea, the hands ceased their movement, causing Alice to collapse onto the soft surface of the box. The side lifted once again, revealing Alex with a smug grin on their face.

"Thank you for testing our invention, 017. It's clear now that it works," Alex said proudly, patting Alice on the back as she got out

The worker glared at Alex, her eyes filled with anger. "Why didn't you tell me that I was testing a tickle machine!?" she huffed, still catching her breath from the tickles.

"Well, you are a test subject 017, you don't have access to our files or the ability to choose whether or not to help us. It's the rules," Alex replied dismissively. "You didn't have a choice in the matter anyways."

"It would have been nice to have a warning," Alice snapped.

"Oh, where's the fun in that, 017? If you knew what it would do, you wouldn't have gone near it. Besides," Alex paused as they reached Alice's room, allowing her to enter. "We never expected drones to snort."

The worker stopped and turned back to face Alex, her screen displaying a mix of embarrassment and shock.

"Wait, you saw the whole thing?" Alice fumed.

"Well, not see, but we could definitely hear you. Even if the trap had sealed you in, your laughter would have given you away," Alex mocked. "I can't wait for others like you to fall for this trap. Goodbye, 017!"

The scientist abruptly closed the door, leaving Alice with numerous unanswered questions. However, she quickly pushed them aside due to exhaustion. She made her way to her bed and collapsed on the firm sofa, reflecting on the recent events, particularly the embarrassing moment when Alex said they heard her snort. Alice prayed that the human wouldn't spread the news throughout the facility, fearing that she would never live it down from the others.

But who was she kidding? The human loved spreading gossip across the labs, he surely would tell the others, making her situation all the more worse 

"Damn humans..." Alice muttered to herself glaring at the ceiling now. If she didn't have a specific human to eliminate before, she certainly did now.

Laboratory for the Naturally Gifted [Prologue]

A/N: This is a little series that I used to upload on Instagram, they were originally all OneShots but I was asked to do various second parts so I’ll upload them here too. ~ Admin J

“It’s great to finally meet you. We are happy to have you here at ‘Seoul’s Laboratory for the Naturally Gifted’.

You might have heard it on the news that we’re low on staff right now. Recently a lot of people have been diagnosed with a natural gift.”

The woman in front of you kept on talking, while leading you through the halls of the laboratory. You were amazed, you had not imagined the place to be so big.

The woman continued to speak “We like to be very private with our Subjects and since we are very low on staff you have already been assigned to one of them. From today on you will be taking care of Subject  ...”

Billy Hargrove x OC! Evie Fenny~ Also posted to my AO3

Summary: It was common knowledge that Billy Hargrove hated Hawkins. Hated Cherry Lane. Even loathed the strange girl next door. Evie Fenny wasn’t too fond of the chaotic Cali transfer either. An awful high school tradition sparks a chain of events that changes everything, ultimately bringing two frayed souls together.

A/N: New chapter! Sorry, it's late! Took a while to edit this one. Evie's birthday bash comes with a flood of feelings and heavy smut! Billy struggles with his heart when emotions get too real. xoxo

Ask box & Tag list are both open!! Come and chat with me after! :)

Chapter 17: Heart-Shaped Shadow Box

   Monday was strange. News spread like wildfire. Carol Perkins and Evie Fenny had a civil interaction. See it and be amazed. All’s well in the animal kingdom again.

   Order restored. Clouds opening. Roll on snare drum followed by velvet curtains.

   Even the snow was thawing to wet slush.

   It all happened at Tommy’s dented locker near the English hallway’s corner. Evie stopped. Hit her mark flawlessly. Found the light. Flashed a pleasant smile which earned Carol’s lip twitching in response.

   And the crowd went wild.

   “Tommy and I are sitting with you. At lunch. Might want to warn Steve and Heather to put the claws away. We’ll come bearing gifts even. Well...promises of gifts we'll deliver on later. Not school-friendly.” Carol fished for a pack of mints in Tommy’s pocket. This was clearly not up for debate.

   “Consider it an early promise for your birthday.” Tommy had added with a beam of teeth.

   “Sure. Cool. See you guys.” Evie held a book to her chest and continued to her locker. Switching items around before she went back to meet Billy at his. Spotted the faded leather of his jacket and ducked a little to sneak upon him.

   A feline on the prowl ready to overtake the dominant male lion.

   "Did you know you're the only girl around here who doesn't cover herself in that Love's Baby Soft crap? The grown woman perfume gives you away, chica." Billy spoke without turning. Evie's made an annoyed sound and dropped her shoulders, inches behind him. "Not a complaint. I like the thrill of it."

   Blue eyes peered to see her there and Evie got the urge to stick her tongue out as a child would. Didn't want to tempt Billy though. Or did she?

   "Yeah, yeah." Air blew a curl from her face. One shoulder nestled into the locker next to him. “Feels weird today.”

   “You’re not getting into a fight for once.” He remarked, smacking metal shut to lean back against it while the student body bustled along. Eyes slipped down and Evie pouted, straightening.

   "My eyes are up here, Hargrove." Two fingers rose to gesture at them.

   Little extra work put into her eyeshadow and lipstick today. Little extra time picking out outfits that weren't for Fredrick. Can't go wrong with a loud print that looked like it was out of a creepy hotel's carpet. Or a short skirt with her tights. Evie felt especially positive about her body today.

   She didn't eat anything bad this morning. See. She was getting better. She was stopping because she was in control and could stop this sickness at any time she wanted.

   "Sure. I'll get there." Gorgeous lashes batted to knock the wind out of her, but Evie puffed. Billy's gaze lifted, flicking with amusement because she was too easy to rile up. Too easy to get blushing. "Must feel weird," he'd repeated, "no battle."

   “That could be. Farewell badass reputation. I knew you all of two days.” She sighed for dramatic effect and he actually smiled, head shaking before an arm swept around Evie’s shoulders. Pulled her taut and flush into his fire.

   For once, she didn’t look at anyone else.

   Leaned into Billy and walked along as if she was meant to be there.

   As if they didn’t look funny together.

   That was a beautiful thing this morning. Something that made her feel full and in control.

   “Weirded me out when Mona let me in to collect Max and you three were snoring on the pull-out.”

   “Sweet that you carried Max home.” Evie teased. “What a good big brother you are.”

   “Yeah, just when I warm up, she edges off me.”

   “How’s that?” Evie peered up at his face.

   “Don’t know, she hasn’t been her annoying self. Growing up or whatever. Might be all her friends.” Billy only shrugged. “Snappier at me. Quieter. Guess I deserve it. She stays out of dad's way, but he has an opinion on everything she does.”

   “She’s a teenage girl. We all have our moments. I'm sure it's not easy for either of you.” They turned down another hallway. Billy stiffened so she allowed him to change the subject.

   “I did have good luck on my Saturday quest.” He sounded genuinely triumphant. Lips turned into her curls to mutter. "Small victories."

   Around them, lockers shuffled and smacked about. Chattering students moved to let them pass. Evie Fenny on the arm of his royal highness, Billy Hargrove. King. What a lucky girl she was.

   If they held her echoing heart to their ears, they'd probably hear rich ocean waves. Evie wondered if Billy had reached deep within in, if he'd find twinkling sea glass and opalescent shells

   “Yeah, you were gone the entire day, where’d you go?” Evie had laughed and he stunned her with the flippant reply. 

   “Got your birthday present.”

   Evie came to a halt at the corner. Spinning to see him. Billy batted his lashes again, smirking.

   “What? It is the 27th, right? Wednesday?” He winced like perhaps he’d been wrong.

   “How and where did you get that info? And you remembered it?”

   “I have my ways, Evie.” He bit his lip. Scanned her. “Surprised I got you something?”

   A blush damned her to hell.

   “No, I just… A little.” Evie looked away at the trophy case. Saw them reflected and straightened up. Shuffling back. One hand rubbed at her collar. Illusions faded like dying lights. Too easily.

   "Well, believe it, I'm full of surprises."

   “My mom is doing something small at the salon that she thinks I don’t know about and then I’m going to Heather's. Party on a school night. Her parents are out this week so free reign in the mansion.”

   “I might have heard something about that.” Billy shrugged, peering away so she could take him in.

   Freckles stunning and sparkling crystals for eyes. Endless ocean waves under a balmy sun. Evie wondered for a moment if perhaps he was oblivious to how candidly beautiful he was some days. 

   She inched toward him. Forgot their reflection. Forgot the students with eyes that burned. Saw Billy glanced back and froze. Caught. 

   “You ever think…?” Billy gave this squint to study her there. Thought he saw flecks of gold within her eyes. Sparking at him. Drawing a charge. New stars giving birth he might be able to count if he looked deeper.

   “Yes...?” Evie hushed, just barely edged up on her toes. Billy never finished it. "I do."

   "Do? Do what?" He flushed there. Sounding vaguely drunk. Inch back toward her.

   Two magnets pining from a distance. Drawing ever nearer.

   "Think. Long and hard." It came out a saccharine whisper. “I think too much in fact.”

   He gave this dumb, little chuckle. Unable to grasp his thoughts. Unable to share them.

   “I think about things I can’t control and I get so mad.” Evie scoffed. Thought her eyes watered due to the intensity. “I can’t stop even though there’s very little I can control. It's like time and space. I can't... But, I know that, Billy, and I can't seem to stop.”

   Abrupt, she pushed up to her toes. Captured his lips. Just hard enough to make her point explicit. Hard enough to send him all aflutter. Bursting to pieces from every vein. A might wave crashed into them both. Swept them away. She stayed close enough to finish the thought. Made him drink it down.

   "And I think you're made of that same stardust." Evie swooped around him. Left Billy dizzy as the bell rang. She didn’t look back at him. Only smiled to herself and let curls bounce as she slipped off.

   Billy spun on his heel to see her. Left drunk in a billow of honey amber. A smile overtaking his expression. A warm tint in his freckles.

   He could have blamed her eyes with their hold. Could have blamed her hair and the way the light illuminated it just so. Hell, he could have blamed that damn perfume. The concoction of oils and lotions you'd find listed in an old witch's spell. Although, she was from New Orleans, so perhaps voodoo. He tried to rationalize it. Make it purely sexual. Make it rough and tumble.

   Either way, too much became clear. Evangeline Fenny was beautiful and she was going to ruin him. And Billy was going to let her do it. Any number of heartbeats it would take, he was going to succumb. This sin he'd be begging for again and again. This lovely sin that filled his soul until it burst.

   A red hot ribbon would noose his heart and twist out to Evie's own. They could sink and float and be just fine. The thought of being tethered to something tangible didn't have to feel like a cage and muzzle. It could be freeing too. Sprinkled in their signature stardust that gave it an ethereal filter. An iridescent shimmer.

   Even if it terrified him to the core.

** ** **

   Evie didn’t need to prep Steve and Heather for Carol and Tommy’s impending infiltration of their lunch table. More news in the animal kingdom.

   Princess Heather and Duchess Carol caught whispering at Heather’s locker between second and third.

   Truly fascinating. Pan in close for a better look.

   Evie passed them and could only blink. Almost running into Robin on her way to Yearbook.

   Heather and Carol standing close to each other as if they hadn’t been in a nasty fight the week before. Giggling and hushing tones. Carol traded a bobby pin from her hair for an elastic Heather had tucked into a coin purse shaped like a pair of cherries.

   That was a serious transaction in girl world.

   Carol tugged playfully at Heather's tee, hand poised to her lips to whisper before the other girl was nodding. Evie had a thousand questions but decided not to bother. Red hair swept to flick as Carol turned to go. Following Evie because they were in Yearbook together with Nancy and Jonathan. 

   Usually, they sat across the room in opposite corners. Today, they shared a table.

   “Heard the bio classes moved the dissections this year up to March.” Carol made a face and sorted through science club photos. Seated across from Evie to work on some new pages. 

   “I always skip school those days and do some make-up work later. I’ll take the grade hit.” Evie grimaced.

   “I just partner with Tommy, make him do it, and he’ll get us a solid C plus.” A shrug. Their teacher flicked on some hippy music they liked to pass the time. Lazy class. “Do a bunch of shots after.”

   “Yeah, I can’t even handle being in the room.” Evie stacked some finished sections aside. “How are things between you and Tommy?” 

   Carol peered up briefly between making little notes. Blew a pink bubble and popped it.

   “He’s still my number one slice. I don’t know, I thought he’d get weird about the whole thing. Kinda shocked me.” She mused, shifting pictures about. “I did say he’s gonna marry me one day. Pretty sure. I mean we’re plenty stupid and we fight. But, we’re allowed.”

   “Good, that’s...good.” Evie felt eyes blaring holes. Stared at the page she was reworking.

   “Feels like you got another question in there, Fen.”

   “I don’t know.” Shoulders hitched higher. Evie tucked some curls back and smacked her mauve lips.

   They sat in silence under dim fluorescent lights for a few minutes. Carol paused to apply a fresh layer of gloss in her tiny compact. Flashed the mirror at Evie’s eyes to bug her.

   “Hey.” One hand swatted aimlessly when she was blinded. Carol snickered, slapping the mirror shut.

   “You’re really into him aren’t you?” A head tilt. “Billy.”

   “Things...shifted after the dance. He asked me out. Then, I asked him out. We sorta went out together. Nothing official. I don't know what's a date and what isn't with him. I don’t. As I said, I don’t think he does girlfriends. I don’t think I'd make a very good girlfriend either.”

   “Not with that attitude." A scoff. "Have you asked?”

   “...No.”

   “You’re overcomplicating it because you have major, major trust issues, Evie.” Carol deduced easily. Too easily. Evie sat back. Opened her mouth to protest and shut it. “Billy might have issues too. But, if a guy screws up and spends two months following you around trying to make it right. Not really sleeping around. Obviously it’s crossed his mind. Just quit dragging and ask him. You might like the answer.”

   “I don’t know, sometimes I think it’s supposed to be like a fairy tale. Without all the...ugh.” Evie cringed at herself. Nails tapping the rhythm of a new song she was working on at home.

   “Make the fairy tale happen. Be like Cinder-fucking-ella. Cinder-Evie.” Carol leaned in to roll her eyes. “Evie Fenny wants romance in Hawkins. Some of us can’t even get cable, you know.”

   Evie snorted. Peered up so both of them laughed. Tension fluttered.

   “Just slam him into a wall and ask. Billy will respond to that." A wink before she got sultry. "Lick his balls or something. He’ll probably get the hint. Boys aren't complicated.”

   “Oh, god.” Evie was still giggling silently. Tried to keep it down under the music playing as students went to go develop some photos. Nancy and Jonathan saw the two and couldn’t help whispering. Odd sight. “I kinda have already.”

   “No, shit?” Carol bit her lip. "Evangeline, you absolute harlot."

   “I mean,” Evie blushed, “we’ve done stuff. Just not gone all the way.”

   “Look at you. Ugh, I know he’s good in the sack. I just do. Tommy and I even talked about it cause we’re like that. We hinted inviting him in once at a party and he was too busy mooning over you at that time.” Carol fiddled with a purple gel pen. Played coy. Tongue in cheek. “Tommy’s not bad, we get a lot of practice in though.”

   “Billy...he puts cologne or something...down there. Makes the taste weird.”

   “Uh.” Carol groaned. “You know, I bet Tommy picked up that trick from him cause he started doing it after Billy rolled in. I fucking knew that Cali boy would be a bad influence.” A sly look followed. “Evie Fenny is getting it. And she could be actually getting it if she weren’t a damn coward.”

   "I am." Evie covered her face.

   "Just..." Carol shrugged and tugged one of Evie's hands down by the wrist. Voice low. "Just think about how good it'll be when he's undressing you. Kissing your neck. And those hands. The thing he might whisper in your ear... Look at you blush."

   She released Evie with a light laugh, continuing.

   "Don't make it rocket science. Ask him. Get the orgasm you deserve, Evie. That's my motto."

   “Not terrible... We get heated and during times I’m actually about to tear his clothes off, we keep getting interrupted. It’s like some evil force is against us. I don't know, I still get weird when he touches my body and I'm trying to stop.”   

   Carol only flashed her teeth.

   “Maybe your luck will improve. Burn some more incense.” 

   Evie only hummed in response. They mulled over pages again. Traded images to find the perfect shots.

   “Gonna ask you something, you don’t have to answer because it’s stupid.” Carol’s voice dimmed. Eyes unable to raise for the first time as she tapped her nail. “Do you, like, miss him at all? You know who.”

   Evie blinked at her.

   “That’s not stupid... Ah, sometimes. I don’t think it’s exactly him I miss. Maybe just the good times we did have. Talking. Feeling important and indispensable to someone. The times he held me or gave me things or included me in his life as if I could actually fit. Maybe it was wrong and fake, but he saw something in me and he wanted that to love him back. I’ll bet it did if anything.”

   “Oh.” Was all Carol said, nodding. “Did he put those bruises on you last week? Tommy saw you.”

   “Yeah,” Evie cleared her throat, “and Billy found out. He’d picked up some stuff beforehand. I tried to end it and Fredrick didn’t want to and then he got scared. Tried to scare me which got violent. But, Billy, ah...beat the shit out of him.”

   “I think Tommy would have done the same...if he had a chance. He talked about it. Jumped right into macho man talk when I...when I told him. Looked like he might cry when I told him how long it really went on. He believed me and my own mother didn't.” Carol exhaled a sharper breath.

   "She didn't want to hold the blame," Evie piped up. As if she knew the horrible truth of motherhood and life and what colors should never go together. How some women weren't meant to be mothers and some women weren't meant to be daughters either. "Some mothers...they can't handle the fact that maybe they brought the monsters home. They were blind. Not all of them manifest under our beds, they get put there by people we trust."

   "Miss Mona have bad boy luck?"

   Evie peered aside.

   "You could say that." She paused and had this brief moment of repetition and ferocity. Repeat something. Believe it. Harder each time. "My father though, he loves me. More than anything. He'd be here right now if he could. He would. I made him so happy." This almost manic smile tugged her lips desperately. Carol saw a flash that resonated, but Evie snuffed it. "I bet Tommy is doing what he can to support you, even if he's a little lost about it."

   “These boys. Acting like they can chase all our demons away or something. Scared when we try to do the same for them.”

   “Right. Our demons aren’t remotely tackled, they’re mildly concussed.” Evie agreed. Softer eyes lifting again to meet Carol’s across the way. “I guess trying is what matters most though.”

   They both seemed to accept that gentle sentiment.

** ** ** 

   Mona Fenny was terrible with surprises. Always giddy and singing along to music to drown that out. Bopping against the wheel as she drove Evie into the salon. Parked around back, smiling bright.

   “You go on first, baby. I gotta get some bags out of the truck.”

   “Oh, boy.” Evie pushed out. Mona plucked her from school early that Wednesday. Made her gussy up a little extra. Red sweater dress with a black belt. Gold glitter over her smoked eyes. Red lip to match. Pretty patterned lace tights and boots. Green bomber pulled close, she trudged inside. Through the backroom and out into darkness. 

   Lights flicked to blind her. Spots dancing.

   “Surprise!” A chorus of sing songs. Music picked up. Dolly Parton of course.

   Evie plastered a smile and gawked as if she hadn’t expected it. All the salon ladies. Heather. Susan and Max. Claudia offering a cake decorated with pink and periwinkle buttercream flowers. Candles dancing.

   Evie closed her eyes and made a wish she held close to her heart before blowing them all out in one go. This one would come true.

   “Thank you, ladies.” Evie peered around at the salon decorated in gold streamers.

   “Lets get some cake passed around now. I’m sure these girls have some excitement planned.” Mona clapped her hands and ladies dispersed. “We’ll do gifts and our dinner this weekend. You’re eighteen and you don’t want to spend the night at your mother’s salon.”

   She kissed Evie’s cheek and licked her thumb to wipe the pink print aside.

   “Thank you, mom,” Evie felt something heavy in her gut, “I love you.” Mona was trying so hard to make this nice for her. One day. Then she'd disappear back into her slinky dresses. Into her work. Into those adult parties. Into another man's arms. Away from Evie and whatever glimmer in her daughter's soul was so frightening.

   “I love you. Go sit. We’ll bring the cake over.”

   Evie crossed to Heather.

   “You pack a bag? We’ll take you to school tomorrow.” She bounced in a seat when Evie nodded. “Sure you don’t want to do anything else tonight? We could see a movie.”

   “Nah, a bonfire. Roasting marshmallows. Chinese take out and wine. I just wanna hang out with my friends. Plus, it’s a school night.”

   “Ah, let loose a little. For your birthday.” Heather shrugged as slices of cake were sorted around. Max sat alone in the corner, picking at her piece when Susan left to go to Mona and chat.

   "One sec, Heath," Evie went to Max and sat down. Slow as if she'd scare the younger girl off. “Hey.”

   “Hi. Uh, thanks for having us. My mom keeps telling Mona you guys have made us feel welcome here and all.” She pulled the sleeves of her grey hoodie lower. “She gave Mona some gifts for you to unwrap later. I hope you like them.”

   “Yeah? I'm sure I will. We like you. Can’t wait to open those also.” Evie scanned her. “I had fun, you know, at the sleepover. We should have more.”

   “You don’t think I’m a dumb little girl?” Max peered up. Finally took a bite. Odd to see a growing teenage girl so disinterested in a heavily frosted cake.

   “No, you’re smarter than most of the kids at school.” Evie wondered briefly who could have put that thought in her head and made it stick. Didn’t take long to figure out who. Mad Max was being slowly worn down.

   And she was so small here. So fragile and thin. Evie couldn't help picturing a shadow looming over Max's red hair. The tiny amount of force it'd take to knock her off her feet. Neil in a drunken stupor gunning slowly for the other fresh target in his house.

   “You can come over any time. I have a lot of movies and Blue likes the attention. She's a needy little thing.”

   Max pressed her lips. Gave this small half-smile.

   “Thank you. I'd like to hang out more. I'm only friends with one girl around here and she's being homeschooled until next year."

   “Can I hug you, just as a thank you for being one of the coolest girls I know?”

   Surprise etched.

   “Okay.” Max practically threw herself into Evie’s arms the moment they set the cake aside. Thin fingers bunched up the fabric of Evie’s dress so she cupped the back of Max’s head and held her.

   “It’d be cool to have you as a sister. We could team up on Billy. My skateboard and your roller skates. I saw a pair hung up in your room.”

   “I mean, we could still do that now.” Evie laughed. Tipped Max’s chin up. “You’re gonna be okay.”

   It seemed to resonate. Heather joined them as they ate their fill of cake. Evie unwrapped a couple small gifts. Jewelry and craft supplies. Fabrics she’d wanted and makeup. 

   Heather whisked her away to Loch Nora after some farewells. They practically bounced into the big house. Ordered a ton of food before they got the fancy fire pit out back started so it’d be ready later.

   The doorbell rang.

   “Steve!” Evie perked after answering. Let him squeeze her in a hug. Practically plucked her from the floor which earned a surprised giggle.

   “Got you something, it’s small.” He smiled sheepishly and offered a little box. “You’re a tough girl to buy jewelry for even if you wear a bunch. You know that, Eves?”

   “No, I’ll wear just about anything.” Playing coy, Evie gave an endearing sway.

   “You hardly take the music note necklace off and I’ll never find earrings better than the ones you make.” He swept a hand through gorgeously styled locks. Cracked a pleased grin. "I notice things."

   “Ah. Fair.” Evie poked his chest. Heather waved when she came in from the back. “My dad got me this necklace from one of his trips. Sometimes, I’ll change it or wear something with it.” She touched the gold chain.

   “I found this at a fancy vintage joint,” Steve explained as she opened it. An ornate brooch. Stunning sun and moon. Soft expressions attached with two looping chains. Decorated in shimmering opals.

   Evie stared at it. Had this panicked thought about the one Fredrick gave her. The glittering ladybug.

   The one she swallowed that had not come out yet.

   “Do you like it?” Steve broke into her thoughts. Evie blinked and shook her head to smile.

   “It’s beautiful, thank you. I’ll pin it on my coat now.” Evie kissed his cheek and bounded off. Left Steve there to blush a sweet, dewy pink.

   More doorbells. Clicking incessantly until Steve groaned and opened it. Billy followed by Tommy and Carol coming up the path from another car.

   “Password?” Steve played his bratty self.

   Billy cocked his head and charged in to put Steve in a headlock. Messed his hair up while he got slapped at as Tommy cackled on the way in.

   “Jesus, Holloway, I forgot about your digs here. Bigger than Harrington's place. No offense.” He waltzed by with Carol on his arm. Left Steve and Billy to wrestle.

   “Hey, boys! Not on her birthday.” Heather got between them. "I agreed to this very strange joining of two groups out of love and friendship. We're all cutting the shit now."

   “He started it.” Steve shoved off and reached to ruffle Billy’s curls. Got a hard swat for it. "We're still burying the hatchet." Beating up creepy teachers brings boys together, he figured.

   Evie liked all of them, that was good enough for Heather.

   "Dick." Billy jabbed back.

   Tommy peered back at Steve. Old times. New surroundings. New mindset. The other boy shrugged at him, lighthearted.

   Evie poked her head around the corner. Blinked in surprise.

   “Hey, all… No wonder Heath ordered the entire menu.”

   “We come in peace, Fen.” Carol removed her coat and Tommy presented a couple of bags.

   “Also, we brought the wine and weed. As promised at that first lunch.”

   “I just said to get wine...but, I won’t complain. We can only smoke it outside. The smell will linger and my dad won’t like it.” Heather winked, coming to take the items. “Thank you, guys. We have food coming. Movies. S’mores for the fire pit.”

   “Look who's trying to behave on her eighteenth.” Carol winked. She shared this look with Heather that Evie didn’t notice. Billy stared at her. Watched nervous hands smooth out her dress. “Hargrove, didn’t you bring the lucky lady a gift? Be a gentleman and present it.”

   “Left it in the car.” He cocked his head, signaling for Evie to fall in stride next to him. Without her coat, she clasped her hands behind her back and followed him back outside. Down the stone steps.

   "Still weird?" Tommy came to Steve, hands in his back pockets.

   "Honestly, yeah." He nodded as Carol went after Heather out back. Both of them plotting.

   "Does suck about the princess. We know you liked her and all."

   "Ah, she's happier with Byers. Things happen. Guess it's part of growing up."

   "How about we drink a bunch tonight and start some shit over?" Tommy clapped Steve's arm, earning a cracked smile.

   "I'd like that."

   Outside, Billy and Evie crossed to his Camaro.

   “Glad you guys came. Might be boring, I said nothing too exciting.” She puffed cold air. Billy opened his trunk and fished for something wrapped in newspaper.

   “We...didn’t have fancy wrap so I used the Sunday cartoons. Only part of the paper I can get my dad to let go.” He winced, handing it to her.

   “No, I love the funnies.” Teeth etched at her lip. Evie met his eyes to open it.

   “It’s a little fragile.” He warned. Evie peeled the paper away and blinked a couple times.

   A thin shadow box with a tarnished black frame. Inside pinned was a luna moth. Dainty specimen all glowy in moonlight.

   “Whoa. How-?”

   “I found it in this old antique shop up in the city. Hidden way in the back. They had a bunch of them, different bugs. I don’t know, it made me think of you.” He explained. Too delicate like he might shatter. Evie ran her fingers along the frame. An object of wonder and curiosity. “Kinda strange and pretty...and you’re damn strange and pretty.”

   She gave this breathless snort. Snapped out of it. Looked up at Billy’s eyes with this vulnerable sort of expression crossing.

   “I really love it. Thank you.” Evie took his chin and kissed him. Felt that same sensation whirl that made them both dizzy.

   Billy pushed his forehead into hers. Brushed their noses and dropped aside. Let his head rest on her shoulder. She smelt the blond hair and felt it tickle her neck. One breath hitched.

   “Let’s get back. I’ll put this in my bag so I can hang it up at home.” 

   Evie held it close as they walked along. Not looking at each other or touching. They wouldn’t be able to handle it. She figured this gift is what her heart had always looked like. A deep, dark shadow box with a pretty moth fluttering inside behind glass. Waiting to be seen and admired. Waiting to flit out and feel the wind and sun.

   Going inside, she wondered if Billy had known that. If he placed their stars just so because he knew how they fit together.

   Tension sprang through laughter over take-out boxes. Trading and gorging on food while a horror flick played before them. The Funhouse. Seated on the floor around the coffee table against the sofas and chairs. Odd gathering of souls.

   Tommy was a squirmer. Kept hiding in Carol's shoulder. Steve felt himself looking around. He had his friends back and more. This could be nice again. He hadn't been social since everything fell apart with Nancy. Befriending Heather and Evie was a good start.

   Billy’s leg bumped Evie’s and she gave this blush like someone caught them being obscene. Settled into him for the last half of the movie when they were full and the night rose outside. Billy felt a spark as Evie hid in his chest at a jump scare. Chuckled to himself to play it off.

   Evie Fenny watched horror movies for a living, she just needed a reason to play dumb and get close to him. But, she wasn't gonna admit that. Being tucked under his bicep was too good.

   “Psst, hey.” Evie said in his ear. Billy slid his eyes to see the TV light play on her expression.

   On the expensive screen, a rat-like vampire snarled. Mutated and warped with saliva on his fangs.

   “Hm?”

   “That’s you.” She hitched a squeal when he pinched her side. Pulled in closer by his arm.

   Carol and Heather were still shooting each other looks. Mugs of cheap red wine got passed around. Bloomed cherries in everyone’s cheeks and mouths. 

   They gathered around the fire outside. Roasted marshmallows and lit up joints. Heather’s family had a fancy pit built into the ground and a stone seating circling it. With most of the snow gone, they all bundled up. Carol draped into Tommy as they shared a smoke.

   “Steve, eat this one. I made it special.” Evie flashed a crooked, devious smile. "For you."

   “I don’t trust you.” He laughed, opening his mouth before she stuffed it in. Marshmallow fluff covered his lips until they cackled. Steve pushed a fresh one back at her that melted chocolate over her mouth. Evie giggled and caught Billy staring as she licked her lips. Wanting to lap it up himself. 

   "Did I get it all?" Evie faced him, breaking the moment. Billy reached up with his thumb and swept it under her bottom lip. Saw her tongue shift like it might jet out before he pulled away and licked the pad.

   "Now, you did," he winked.

   At that point, Tommy and Steve caught on to Heather and Carol's little knowing looks. Took some eye-fucking to get there but they made it.

   Heather was pleasantly blazed. Leaning back with her feet up on the stone. Sighing. Evie puffed and passed a smoke back to her. Started to blow out before Billy angled her face at him. Inhaled some of the pot to enjoy it.

   "Tommy, who supplies your shit?" He hummed.

   "Hill Valley, they supply all the locals. Stoner who gave it to me swore it made you fucking time travel, I think he was right."

   "Go back in time and stop this asshole from beating my keg record." Steve snatched the joint next, gesturing to Billy. Only got a rough laugh in response.

   “So, we’re all fucked. But, I have rooms. Lots and lots of guest rooms.” Heather mused. “I’m so rich and popular, guys.”

   “We had no idea.” Carol faked a gasp. “Prissy drunk.”

   “This is so weird.” Evie rubbed her cheek, lulled into Steve so he put the smoke between her lips with two fingers. Let her inhale it before she puffed out. “All of us, I mean. It’s weird. Life sucks and we’re just like...friends now.”

   “It’s like we wasted all that time on stupid shit when we could have been doing this.” Carol decided with red eyes. Everyone nodded in response.

   Evie fell the other way and put her head on Billy’s shoulder. Slowing, they stared at the flickering fire. Smoke rising to purge whatever was here before.

   "We still gonna share a lunch table after this? Acknowledge each other?" It was Steve who spoke up.

   "Nowhere else to go." Billy reached out to take the joint from him and finish it. That was agreed upon too. Wasn't the worst sentiment at this hour.

   They came down from the wine and pot. Simmered. Put the fire out and trailed back into the house. Watched half of another movie before they started to split off.

   Steve passed out on the biggest couch so Evie covered him in a blanket. Stopped Billy and Tommy from drawing on his poor, sweet face. Gave him a kiss on the temple for good measure.

   “Think it’s time. Midnight. Happy Birthday, Evie.” Heather mashed her into a tight hug. They all left Steve to snore and wandered upstairs. Changed and washed up.

   Billy disappeared down the hall to one of the bathrooms. Evie emerged a bit later from Heather's room rubbing her nose.

   “Tommy and Carol can use this room." Heather was in the hallway gesturing. "Steve’s on the couch. Hey, Eve, you want to use the third floor? Sheets are fresh. The birthday girl should get the best and biggest guest room. Right, Carol?”

   "I couldn't agree more, Heather. We left you something special on the bed. It was too big to wrap."

   Snickering followed.

   “Sure...sure…” Evie ruffled her hair out, not listening. "Night."

   “Enjoy your present,” Carol gave this little sing-song. Arms crossing as she watched Evie climb the steps. Waited until she was gone to plant a slick high-five on Heather. “Idiots.”

   “Totally.” Heather went off to bed.

   Evie pushed the door open and jumped a mile at the same time Billy spun, dropping his shirt.

   “Oh, sorry, they said…” It dawned that Evie had just been tricked. “They told you to sleep here?”

   “Yeah, Heather said...oh.” He clicked his tongue and smiled, head shaking because he had to look away. It was all too good.

   Evie pressed the door shut and planted herself against it. Locked it idly. The snap sparked Billy to attention.

   “I’ll be having a little chat with them about this. It's...um...” She scanned him in his jeans. Saw muscles twitching under flesh. Wet her lips.

   “Yeah, I’ll be getting down on my knees to fucking thank her.” He marched over. Kissed Evie hard against the doorway then brought her flush into his frame. Hands trailing down the curve of her back.

   She hitched a gasp and got one arm around his neck. Felt about to turn the lights down. Moonlight spilled in. Full and bright. 

   Billy’s hands were under her shirt. Bunching it up. Palming her bottom. Tracing the lace edge of her underwear to playfully snap it. They stumbled around toward the bed. Evie on her toes pulled him down for more kisses. Felt like no amount would be enough.

   “Not a motel, but I think we can make this work.” Billy got pushed into the plush covers. Sat up to let Evie climb into his lap. They looked at each other. Stilling.

   "Is this okay?" She mumbled and he only nodded.

   Breathing deep until hearts pounded in perfect sync. Evie cupped his face. Opened her lips against his until Billy gave this visceral moan.

   Fingers slipped under the tee again. Squeezed her breasts. Hurried the fabric up so he could taste her skin. Evie shuddered and tipped her head back. Grinding into him. Pulling his hair because he was ruining her already.

   Because Billy Hargrove was about to be her beginning and end.

   Because she was fine with that.

   “Evie...” Billy groaned. Fingers pushing into her flesh. He sucked little flower petals into her chest. Tongued her nipples to hard, rosy buds. Evie felt one hand wander down into her panties. Cried out at the two digits that slipped against her experimentally. "Yeah?"

   “Y-Yes. Like that. You feel so good, Billy.” She attacked his neck. Kissing and nipping until his legs shook. She would ruin him just as well and he'd already tried to make peace with it.

   Billy brought his fingers up to suckle them. Shifted to wet her nipple and lick the arousal off. Two strong hands, turned them to throw her into the mattress. God, his muscles. Evie felt him crawl up her body. Hovering to just look at her with spun gold spilling around his neck and crown. 

   Felt more intimate than anything they’d done. Just looking. Taking a body and soul in.

   Billy started pulling her shirt off. Going for her panties to toss the flimsy fabric aside. No resistance followed. She wanted him to look. Wanted to be seen. Maybe it shouldn't have felt so incredible.

   Eyes watched her surrender there bathed in the moon. Evie rubbed her thighs together. Covered her breasts with her arms. Billy’s chest heaved. Mouth sweeping down to kiss her until the resolve melted. He pinned her wrists playfully and kissed down her neck, stopping to inhale that perfume.

   "You're pretty." Lips nudged her insecurities up and away. "So pretty."

   Billy brushed dark curls from her shoulders and cheeks. Began to peck soft kisses everywhere he could. Mapping her face out. Every so often she found his lips to steal one back. A soft breath grazed her ear.

   “Lemme see you, too.” Evie got a hand free and cupped him boldly. Billy jolted into her palm. Moaned. Beautiful beyond words. He let her push his pants down and stroke him. Gazes melted together and he stopped her only to toss his jeans aside, up on his knees to breathe even.

   Evie pushed up only to marvel at him. Reluctant hands lifted. Smoothing down the hard contour of his chest. The line of those hips. She wanted to map him out as well.

   "You're beautiful." She brushed her mouth against his hip. A true Eros.

   Billy combed his fingers into Evie's hair, tilting her face up so he could curve over for a lengthy kiss. Moaning when she praised him. Wordless with her simple touch. Explored all the exposed honey skin. Counting little freckles. Billy nuzzled his nose into Evie’s, pressed their heads together, and breathed her in. All of her. 

   “Gonna eat you out.” He nipped down her chest, pushing her back into the bed. Evie tensed on instinct but nodded. Wanting it. Saw those lashes flutter before he buried his mouth into her mound. 

   She cried out into her palm. Spine arching so his taut arms wound under soft thighs. Held her hips to adjust. Spread her open for his tongue. Devoured her shamelessly. Pornographically.

   Billy liked to make noise. Like to force it out of her too. He flicked his tongue inside. Lapped up toward her bundle to tease and cradle it. Slight stubble made red swatches on her tender skin.

   What did she like? What made her pray for mercy?

   It left Evie to twist around. Hands grasped for the sheets. She gave him her voice willingly. Gave him every beat and sigh and pulse. Billy made this obscene suckle against her. Crawled up with slick lips so Evie pulled him into her frame. Kissed those pink lips. Licked into his mouth. Tugged at gold locks and ran her hands along his back.

   Billy was nudging between her legs before Evie shifted so they were on their sides. Shocked him with a murmur.

   “I want to be on top first.”

   “What?” He actually laughed lightly. Pecked her mouth. “No, no, sweetheart. I’m on top.”

   “I called it first and I'm the birthday girl.” Evie pouted. Pushing him on his back playfully. Billy came up on his elbows. Brow furrowed.

   “You’re serious. But…” He sounded breathless when her hand smoothed down to stroke him. Persuading. “But, I’m the man. It’s our first time. The man’s supposed to be on top the first time.”

   “Says who? You’re so cute when you say dumb things, Billy.” Evie taunted, kissing his cheek. “There’s no rule. Maybe I wanna be the man...if you really wanna put it that way. You’ll get a turn. Maybe. You might convince me.”

   He smiled when she winked at him. Evie kept up her persuasion. Swung her leg over his hips. Kissed up his neck because she knew it would make him into putty. Billy could only shudder.

   Evie let her weight rest against his frame. Snuffed out every voice that told her she couldn't be desired and sexy. Billy moaned at the feel of her too. All of her. Grasped fleshy hips and ran his hands up sloping curves. Evie pressed into his chest, curls spilled over her shoulders.

   “I might really die if I don't feel you soon.” Billy just marveled up at her. Cupped her breasts until Evie sighed into his touch. A blush spread over her cheeks. She captured his mouth in response.

   Eyes met and she gave this little nod so he followed it. Muscles tensing. 

   “I want to feel you, too.” Evie licked her lips so they adjusted a bit together. She came up and gave him a few slow pumps. "Do you really wanna feel me, Billy?" His shaft pressed flush into her folds. Hips rocked slow. Torturing.

   Looking clouded, he nodded and tried to find some words.

   "Fucking, please. Evie." He tilted his head back. Chest heaving. “You, uh, took your pill?”

   “Like clockwork.” Evie shuddered. "I want this. You."

   Billy looked down and gave her thigh an encouraging squeeze, biting his lip as she positioned him. Starting to sink down. They both cursed aloud. Went tight after a shared quake. Evie mounted him. Let him fill her all the way up with her hands flat against his chest. 

   “That’s it. Fucking perfect.” He was muttering while she whimpered quietly. Massaging her hips so she’d relax. “You don’t have to move yet. Feel so fucking good. Look at me, Evie.” 

   She did. Darkening eyes peeking through a curtain of curls he moved aside.

   “I got you, Angel. I got you.” Billy lifted for a kiss. Bucked slightly inside her so she gave this experimental rock into him. Mouths brushed together and he whispered. “Fuck me.” 

   He begged that. Begged for her. Only her. Evie pressed him back down. Tilted her head aside at the feel of him pulsing. Started to move with some fervor. 

   Fingers squeezed her hips. Left marks guiding her into his thrusts. Both of them sinking fast. 

   “Mm, Billy.” Evie arched there against the moon and stars. Let them fill the room with her voice. She hitched a cry when he gave her ass a playful swat. Urged her to go faster. Billy wiggled and came up a bit. Pulled Evie all the way down and drank her moan into his lips.

   He held her there, biceps flexing when his hands went around her back so he sat up fully. Teeth nipped at her chest and he undulated up inside her. Took some control back.

   "H-Hey..." Evie was slipping fast. Mouth parting while she clung to his shoulders. "I'm the man."

   "It's your birthday," Billy mumbled into her throat. "Little worship is what a pretty girl deserves on her birthday. Don't you think so?"

   Fingers pushed between her spread legs. Worked her until a cry muffled into the crook of his neck. Evie curved into him. Clung. Rode him harder.

   “So good.” Billy managed again. “Pretty, pretty, pretty.” He pulled her hair. Exposed that creamy throat to his mouth once more. Tormented her until Evie’s resolve melted so he could flip them over. Another cry echoed. Hips pushing with force deep into her. She gripped his shoulders, legs curling around his hips. 

   “Billy, please…” Evie mewled under him. “More.” She tucked some blond hair aside sweetly. Both of them slicked and wanting. Connected utterly. 

   Billy was so ample with her body, chasing her fears away with his hot touch and lovely kisses. He hovered over Evie. Pulled out and looked down to where their bodies met. Loved the sight of himself disappearing inside. One hand brought her thigh higher for a better look.

   "Flexible girl. I'll keep that in mind."

   Evie fluttered around him. Reached down and touched their mixed arousal. Played with herself while he watched and started to find his pace. She licked her digits of their slick. Let him have a taste after. Billy laced their fingers and came down to watch her eyes.

   Panting. He really began to pound into her until the bed was rocking with them. A filthy sound of skin slapping together with each thrust joined their gasps. He didn't care if this whole damn neighborhood could hear them.

   “Love the way you squeeze me.” Billy’s thumb was back against her. Tormenting perfect little circles that had her whining. Evie had this out of body moment like she was watching herself writhe on the bed. Billy Hargrove fucking her stupid. Praising her. Touching her. Uttering nasty things about how she was all his now and he could spend forever making her feel so good. “Gonna come inside this sweet, little pussy after I make you quake. You wanna come for me, Evie? That’s my fucking girl.” 

   “Oh, fuck...fuck, I can’t stand you.” She tightened around him. Eyes rolling back. Relishing his touch so he sped up. “I’m right fucking there, Billy, don’t stop. Stay with me. Stay…” She cupped his face. Found those drunken lips.

   “Don’t have to stand, I,” he shuddered, “I got a perfectly good face you’ll be sitting on later.”

   Cheeky little shit.

   Evie actually laughed. Thrilled. Pulled him all the way against her body, arms under his and around his taut back. Billy stopped all the dirty talk to whimper.

   She felt so good. He didn't know it could feel this good.

   “I’m yours, Billy,” Evie decided at last with a flutter of glowing moths escaping the heart-shaped shadow box carved into her chest. Happy. She so wanted to be his. Mouth against the shell of his ear. “All yours.” Her thighs shuddered and he felt her entire body lock. A graceful arch went through it. “I’m c-coming.” Evie managed so he stroked harder. Made her gush around his cock with the sweetest sound he’d ever heard. Kept thrusting to draw it out as she squeezed him too tight. Chanting cries of curses mingling with his name. All sin.

   All his.

   Billy couldn’t even warn her. He held out as long as he could and began to fuck release inside her. Both of them wrapping tighter around each other. Still trying to rock through it like they were lying on a warm beach being caressed by sweet ocean waves. Evie sagged, out of breath as he collapsed against her body. Still rutting like an animal to finish himself. 

   Gasping, Billy came up to pull out. Watched his own release sink out of her. So fucking hot, he couldn't help pushing it back in. Evie tensed. Overstimulated when he pressed dainty kisses to her tummy and chest. 

   Blue eyes came up to meet her brown ones and something broke. Shattered. Flooded out. They both locked in to feel it. Billy looked at her and the sensation consumed him utterly. Betrayed him. He stared and couldn’t look away. Frozen. Ruined. Evie blinked up at him. Spread open and hair splayed. Reached up to caress his jaw with her brow furrowing.

   “Billy, you’re shaking.” She swallowed to catch her breath. Eyes searching him. She tipped his head forward to kiss his warm temple. Lingered with sweet promises. Both of them on fire and slicked in glowy dew. “I got you.”

   He still trembled so hard. Unable to stop. Let Evie bring his head to her collar so she could pepper more kisses into his hair and comfort him. 

   Billy stared out at nothing. Floated in this sort of subspace while Evie brought him back down to touch the Earth. Gentle as she could. They held each other there. Evie still kissing him. Petting him delicately and humming in his ear. Idly, he let his fingers whirl into her curls.

   “Are you alright? Billy?” She tried again. Massaging his shoulders while he listened to her beating heart. Something wet splashed against her neck as he shuddered. Sniffling once.

   “I just…” He came up. Let awareness flit back. Got near silent. I think I’m happy. "I'm fine." The feeling spread a cold under his bones. "You?"

   Billy cupped her head for a lazy kiss. She smiled up at him.

   “I'm okay. Better than okay.” She soothed again. “I got you.” Naked, they wound around each other. Got under the covers and laid twisted together.

   “Evie.” Billy choked on air. Chest sinking. He had to let one truth out. Just one, he owed her that much. And it ached. “Gotta tell you something.”

   “Yeah?” She sunk into his chest. Held. Evie braced like it might hurt her too.

   “You know you're... You're the best thing about this place.” Billy squeezed his eyes shut. Let her hold him tighter in response. Let Evie give up some of her warmth to him because he needed it and she just liked to see him happy and safe.

   “I didn’t know it could feel like that.” She began, fingers making shapes into his chest. Evie opened her heart. Let him admire it. "Billy, I want to be more with you. Like...Like a girlfriend. This sounds silly. You don't have to say anything. I just...I don't want to run from you because you make me happy. I think I might make you happy too. We're... You were right about a lot. The stars and all. Despite everything, I think we were supposed to find each other and it feels good. I want to be yours-"

   Billy tilted Evie's chin up. Hushed the truths with his lips. Nuzzled her so she'd relax back into him. He couldn't reply. The syllables wrapped around his throat and choked him. And Evie trusted him. So, she didn't ask for them. That made it ache more.

   Placing her head upon his chest when they shifted again. Billy went very still. Stared at the ceiling and wiped his eyes as she dozed. Fingers combed into her hair to coax her off to an easier slumber.

   Billy just laid there. Felt numb. Felt too much. Couldn’t look down at Evie nestled into his body. 

   He stayed there two hours. So still. So lost. So found. 

   These sensations that tried to drown him. They were creeping like dark gossamer veils over his eyes. Unable to be near Evie, he eased out from under her. Rubbed his eyes. Felt like she seared his skin down to bone and marrow.

   He knew it was wrong. Knew it might hurt her. Would hurt her.

   She let him into her heart and he was running. Eros fleeing Psyche the moment she held that candle to his being and saw him for what he was. One speck of wax dripping hot upon his flesh. Blinded by that light, he probably didn't see her crying there after him. Selfish boy.

   Billy thought he would be sick. Tremored there. He just couldn't stop it. Couldn't explain it either.

   And he just couldn’t be near her anymore. Fuck.

   But, he promised. He promised her. He wanted to keep it and instead scrambled to dress. Empty eyes still staring at nothing. Billy finally peered back. Scanned Evie comfortable on the bed. He could have gotten back in. Woken her and told her that he wanted to be all hers too.

   “I’m sorry.” He whimpered.

   It hurt. It hurt too much. Billy actually had to rub his chest. Tried to numb. Tried. All this time they spent together and now he just couldn’t be near her. She broke him. Billy felt himself climbing too high. Up toward the stars. Falling to pieces.

   Aimless steps brought him outside. Into the freezing cold. Away from Evie’s touch and amber perfume. Away from this girl who gave him exactly what he wanted and it was just too much. He couldn’t hold it. Didn’t want to see it shatter before him.

   So, Billy got into his Camaro and drove off. Far away as he could to the edge of Lover’s Lake. Up a hill so he could see the quiet city before him. Evie would wake up. Feel the change that he promised he wouldn’t give her. 

   Fuck. 

   “Fuck!” Billy crumbled aloud. One fist pushed into his teeth. Quivering until the tears fell hot. Huge and wet down his flushed cheeks. Unable to stop the flow, Billy dropped his head. Began to sob louder than he ever had in his life.

   Because this would break her in turn. Validate everything horrid she thought about Billy Hargrove. Because he should have stayed in that bed mapping more kisses down her spine. Instead, he convinced himself that they weren't made of the same stardust. They couldn't be.

   Evie's heart-shaped shadow box was hung too far from reach amid untold galaxies and when Billy rose to admire it, his wings melted like Icarus before him because that's what he deserved. That was always what he knew he deserved.

   All he could think about was his mother in that tub. Neil's boot squelching his back and the meaty wack of a belt. It wasn't possible for him to be something that could be tangible and loved. Evie had been right. Stars were placed in a certain order and that couldn't change. He'd been stupid. Hopeful.

   He was the coward. This got too real and he couldn't just let himself have it.

   And what made it heavier was the pure thought of Evie waking alone to confirm her biggest fear.

   "I'm sorry." Billy kept chanting these words that were so often too difficult for him. They wouldn't stop this time. "I'm sorry..."

After he managed to get away from the lab he was stuck in, 017 spent a long time alone in the forest. This, along with his brain already being fucked up by all the tortures and experiments, caused him to go crazy and he eventually started developing some sort of "animalistic" behaviors. Eventually with the help of the other resindents of the forest + some other creeps he got back in contact with reality but he still kept some old habits, like slightly growling if he sees something he considers a threat.

Elixir - Mingyu (I)

genre: fluff, comedy, college au, modern witch au, friends-to-lovers summary: you’re a student by day and a witch by night who fulfills potion orders for the rich and wealthy in order to pay your rent. mingyu is your most loyal, free-loading customer, your delivery boy, and your closest friend. the golden rule in witchcraft is to never mix love into your magic, but you broke that rule a long time ago word count: 1196 a/n: i was inspired by a cafe today and i really want to get into different aus, so i thought a modern witch one was a good start! i hope you enjoy this new miniseries! disclaimer, i know nothing about witchcraft, i had to do some research, sorry if it’s inaccurate!

POTION 017

↳ this potion allows the consumer to absorb, retain, and recite any information they read. lasts for twenty-four hours. hints of mint with clove essence. filed under “potions most likely consumed by mingyu”

The boiling vials and beakers in front of you on your floor emitted enough heat to circulate and warm your entire apartment complex. With all of the potions cooking at once, your unit smelled like a craft store on Christmas. You had at least twelve vials boiling at once, all different shapes with different colored liquids so you wouldn’t lose track your potions.

You were so backed up with potion orders that you had to time everything correctly. It was always during midterms season when the parents of some stuck up frat boys reached out to you for potions that would help their precious boy pass the class. You were ready to just make a huge batch for all of them, but no, they all had to be so specific with their orders to cater to each child.

From the rotation of the stirring to the temperature of the heat, you kept a close eye on all twelve of them. It was times like these where you wished your cat was a familiar, but you refused to succumb to that stereotype and make your precious baby a slave to you. But as of late, it was beginning to sound like the good idea.

A poof of black, foul-smelling smoke emitted from the smallest vial.

“Shit!” you cursed, quickly tossing the liquid into one of your many plant pots. Your poor ivy shrivled instantly, wilting and drained of all its color. Luckily, the recipe was easy enough to restart.

“Where’s the damn witch hazel,” you muttered to yourself. This potion in particular was ordered this morning for a very demanding, but very rich client that had requested an instant-blemish zapper for her spoiled, currently-going-through-puberty thirteen year-old before the sun set. If it was any other potion, you’d normally say no, but since it was quite simple, you told her that she’d be the exception. Besides, you up-charged her for same-day service.

That money was going to buy your groceries for two months.

You casually flicked your finger to flip through the poor excuse you called the potions book to find the blemish-zapping recipe. Your potions book wasn’t even a book! It was a one of those five subject spiral books where you jotted down all of the recipes you took from your grandma’s library, who refused to lend you the actual books you needed, that selfish witch. You sighed, concentrating on carefully sprinkling the crushed witch hazel and rose petals into the vial of clear alcohol with the perfect 1:8 proportion. If you were even one tenth of a gram off, your potion would be completely ruined. Just a few more dashes of petals, and -

“_____! Quick, it’s an emergency!” The scream from your most loyal customer breaking into your home caused you to drop the vial on the floor and shatter, enveloping you and your cat in a cloud of black, shit-smelling soot. “Oops…”

“Mingyu, what the fuck,” you sighed. You were too tired to be mad.

“Sorry, I didn’t know you were working!”

“Ok, well, can you help and talk at the same time? These orders are due in like, forty minutes. Hand me the bundle of flowers on the counter.”

“Can’t you, like, levitate it to you?”

“It’s not as fun as making you do it.”

Without arguing, Mingyu grabbed the new bundle of flowers and joined you on the floor, looking at the set up in front of him.

“Is this some fancy séance, or something?”

You scoffed at his ignorance. “That’s sorcer-ist. And no, I just have a lot of orders to fulfill tonight.”

“Tsk tsk, always taking on too many orders.”

“And I bet you’re about to add on to it.”

“Absolutely, but only because I know you can handle it ~”

“So, what is it?” you asked, not taking your eyes off of your notebook.

“So I have an exam tomorrow, and…” he trailed off. You turned to look at him with a raised brow, wondering why he didn’t finish his sentence, and you were met face to face with Mingyu’s signature pout and puppy eyes.

“No.”

“What!? Why!?”

“I’m not helping you cheat.”

“Come on, you do it all the time!”

“Yeah, but my future doesn’t depend on a chemistry degree. I’m just trying to graduate, not become a pharmacist,” you noted. In your field, most chemistry majors move on to higher education to pursue pharmacology or of the like. Your future was with witchcraft, and luckily, you could do so much with it, business-wise. You could open up a plant shop, coffee shop, gem shop, or all three to create the ultimate aesthetic, all the while still catering to your snobby, rich consumers. College just helped you with getting ingredients and materials - all of your beakers and alcohol solutions were from the chemistry department.

“But if I fail, I have to retake the class all over again next semester!”

“Then why don’t you pay attention in class!?”

“You know the cute girl in my class I always talk about?”

“Which girl and which class?” you snickered, unable to keep track of his records.

“The one with short hair in Philosophy.”

“Oh, her,” you frowned. He always gushed about how her eyes smiled with her pink lips and how it never failed to leave him speechless. Out of all the girls Mingyu has ‘fallen’ for, she was one of the more serious ones. “She’s the reason you don’t pay attention in class?”

“Yeah, she’s just so distracting! I can’t pay attention when she’s sitting right next to me, you know? And then I leave the lecture without any study materials, so I have nothing to study with. So please, _____,” Mingyu started. He took your free hand in his two larger ones and held on to them tightly. “Please help this poor, dumb, incredibly handsome boy pass Philosophy so he can impress the cute girl in his class?”

You wanted to say no - you really wanted to say no, but how could you refuse such a cute face like his? “Ugh, fine. But you need to deliver all of these orders when they’re done,” you caved in. You yanked your hand away to cover the growing blush on your cheeks.

“Yes! Thank you! Anything for my _____ ~”

“Yeah, yeah. Hand me the mortar and pestle, some peppermint, clove oil, and the brown jar over there.”

“What’s in this?” he asks, taking a whiff of the liquid.

“What did I say about smelling random things around the house!?” you scolded.

“That if my head implodes, it’s my fault.”

“Exactly. Jesus, didn’t they teach you not that in General Chemistry?”

“I failed Gen Chem, remember?”

“Of course you did…”

“This isn’t like, dragon piss, is it…?”

“It’s whiskey that’s been aged for three centuries. The finest whiskey to ever exist.”

“Whiskey for the potion?”

“No, for me,” you stated, taking a long swig of the gold liquid.

“You’re such a Slytherin…” he said, scrunching his nose as he smelled the alcohol.

“Again, sorcer-ist. Not all witches like Harry Potter,” you said, shoving the bottle to his chest. “And I’m obviously a Ravenclaw.”

Adolescents Health and Grades

I have chosen the data set on adolescents’ health. My research question will include whether the general health of adolescents associated with their academic performance and behaviour at school. The particular variables that I am interested in are the adolescents dietary behaviour, weight status, and physical activity, with the study subject grades. In addition, I also want to examine whether the health variables associated with the positive behaviour at schools, such as getting along with teacher and friends, doing homework, and paying attention during class.

Previous studies have reported association of adolescents’ health behaviour such as healthy eating with their academic performance. Regular breakfast consumption were reported to have positive association with adolescents academic performance and positive in-class behaviour (Adolphus, Lawton, & Dye, 2013). In addition, the diet quality may also influence the academic performance, as examined among Chilean adolescent with unhealthy diets were significantly associated with lower grades at school (Correa-Burrows, Burrows, Blanco, Reyes, & Gahagan, 2016).

Physical activity is also an integral part of adolescents’ health and cognitive development. A longitudinal study in Finland suggested that adolescents who were active at baseline and follow-up period (two-years) had higher grade point compared to those who were inactive at both assessment (Haapala et al., 2019). Another study from rural Chilean adolescents reported that physical activity through active school commuting for 30 to 60 min daily were positively associated with high grade points in language and math subjects (García-Hermoso, Saavedra, Olloquequi, & Ramírez-Vélez, 2017).

Considering the previous literature and my chosen variables, I have summarized a hypothesis that adolescents who had regular breakfast, eating healthy food (fruit and vegetable), and being physically active, will be associated with higher grade and positive behaviour at school.

What's on your skin? Archaea, that's what

It turns out your skin is crawling with single-celled microorganisms -- and they're not just bacteria. A study by the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the Medical University of Graz has found that the skin microbiome also contains archaea, a type of extreme-loving microbe, and that the amount of it varies with age.

The researchers conducted both genetic and chemical analyses of samples collected from human volunteers ranging in age from 1 to 75. They found that archaea (pronounced ar-KEY-uh) were most abundant in subjects younger than 12 and older than 60. Their study has been published in Scientific Reports (a Nature journal) in an article titled, "Human age and skin physiology shape diversity and abundance of Archaea on skin."

"The skin microbiome is usually dominated by bacteria," said Hoi-Ying Holman, director of the Berkeley Synchrotron Infrared Structural Biology (BSISB) Program and a senior author on the paper. "Most of the scientific attention has been on bacteria, because it's easier to detect. Based on the literature, six years ago we didn't even know that archaea existed on human skin. Now we've found they're part of the core microbiome and are an important player on human skin."

Hoi-Ying Holman, director of the Berkeley Synchrotron Infrared Structural Biology (BSISB) Program, has developed a technique using the Advanced Light Source to rapidly screen cells to tell if they're bacteria or archaea.Credit: Marilyn Chung, Berkeley Lab
