PRESENT DAY WAKANDA
            [Your Name] hung up her phone, saying a silent prayer to bast that everything would be alright after this ritual to place and that her kids make it to their destination safely.  Letting out a deep sigh she made her way to the waterfall were the ceremony was being held. And even though she was hoping for the best, she couldn’t shake the feeling this wouldn’t end the way the elder and the kingdom would hope it would.
Once she got to the waterfall, she made her way next to her mother holding her hand as the ritual started. Her stomach felt as if someone had punched her repeatedly, as the ritual went on tears were present in her eyes. Watching the King who just lost his father fight his long lost cousin who was failed by two systems and his family. The anger felt from N’Jadka made her head swim watching as he delivered blow after blow onto Prince T’Challa.
The bile in her stomach rose as she saw him turn into the hurt little boy she had seen appear so many nights as he took the life of someone who he once knew as an uncle. Tears streamed down her face at the screams for Zuri losing his life, turning her head she couldn’t stomach much else as tears ran down her face.
Erik started on his speech as T’Challa fought to find the strength to continue the fight. [Your Name] couldn’t take her eyes off of Erik as he picked up T’challa throwing him off of the waterfall. All the wind had been knocked out of her chest as she tried to find the air to scream watching a childhood friend of her die at the hands of her first true love. Soon enough the council was scattering, the Queen and Shuri had been safely removed from the scene before Erik could notice.
But the same luck couldn’t be extended for herself, as she made her way to leave she was stopped by the sound of his voice.
“So, you think you can just up and leave lil’ mama?” This question caused [Your Name] to turn around taking in his appearance.
Looking him over she took a deep breath, watching the erratic breathing he had along with the cuts along his body. It made her sick to her stomach but a weight in her heart knowing it was just a scared child lashing out the fill the warmth of the village that left him to struggle after his father died.
“Yes, my King the ceremony is over, with the previous King being dead and all. I have to go report to my tribal elder , since she is my mother of this before you hold the first meeting. Now, excuse me but this is an urgent matter.” [Your Name] quipped, turning to walk away.
“I just got one question for ya’. Why’d you leave after you told me you got an abortion. And why didn’t you tell me you were from Wakanda? You could’ve helped me come here. We could’ve done this together.” He explained walking towards her.
[Your Name] looked Erik up and down quickly. “My king, if I recall you said, ‘Either you have an abortion or never speak to my ass again’ and that’s exactly what I did.” She rambled before quickly leaving the waterfall making her way back into the streets of Wakanda as quickly as she could. 
After what she had said to Erik, [Your Name] knew deep down in her heart that he would catch on.  That he would find out she had his children, but they wouldn’t meet him as long a single breath went through her lungs. 
A FEW HOURS LATER
Once [Your Name] had gotten home she’d explained everything to her mother, down to why her sister had to take the kids to M’Baku for safe keeping until everything was figured out. The sickness she felt had made an appearance earlier, which is why she is in her current predicament. Sitting on her mothers couch nursing water trying to get ride of the anxiousness she felt about the current situation happening.
This feeling only got worse when there was a knock at her door. Her mothers head snapped towards [Your Name] knowing it could only be the Dora coming to get one of them for whatever reason N’Jadka saw fit. [Your Name] signaled for her mother to sit down, going to get the door so this could be over soon then later. Hopefully the ball of emotions she had would go away once she finally was able to talk to him face to face. But even in her heart of hearts, she knows it’ll only get worse before it gets better.
“Hello, how may I help you two?” She questioned opening the door, with her mother standing right next to her.
Since Amala is the elder in the situation she would now be the head of this conversation, much to [Your Name]’s dismay.
“The new King has requested for your eldest daughter [Your Name] to come to the palace to meet with him. We also have strict instructions not to leave without her.” One announced, which the mother and daughter duo took in.
Amala went to objects but before she could her daughter beat her to it, putting on her shoes to leave with the two members of the Dora.
“I’ll go with no issues, but do you know why he asked to see me specifically?” [Your Name] knew exactly why he wanted to see her, but she was wondering what he was telling the people around him at the moment.
“Personal.” The two answered in sync, this caused her to nod her head following them out of her mother’s house.
On the way to the palace, [Your Name] couldn’t help but replay every moment she’s ever had with N’Jadka good or bad. She knew he was hurt by how he found his father, but she never thought he would be so blinded by his rage, if he did this to Wakanda. Its no telling what he did to get here, and that is what really shook her to her core.
Upon their arrival, she was escorted to the throne room where he was seated waiting for her. A weird sense of annoyance rolled over her at the irony that a few hours ago it was him entering this room, while she sat to the side watching him challenge his now deceased cousin.
Snapping out her train of thought she proceeded to greet N’Jadka. “My King.” She spoke softly moving into the room a bit more.
This caused him to wave his hand while a small chuckle left his lips.
“You can forget all that shit, [Your Name] you know me better than anyone. Ain’t not need for all this formal shit.” He held this smirk on his face as he walked away from his throne to get closer to her. Her eyes never left his person, as he started to circle her.
“There just one thing that really is getting under my skin at the moment. And with you knowing me better than anyone else in the entire world. Why the fuck didn’t you tell me you were from Wakanda!” He questioned roughly, she watched as his breathing started to get more rapid how his upper lip was curled in disgust.
“You knew my father was from here, what I went through in my childhood. And you still looked me in face, claiming to love me and lied to me.” Now, it was [Your Name]’s turn to feel awful.
She was caught in between a rock and a hard place, she loved him, she truly did. But she had a duty to her country to not tell him that she was brought up to speed of everything by her Uncle and the he knew she was carrying his nephews children. So many times she had thought to end it all, but she loved him too much, selfishly.
“Answer me!” He yelled, causing her to jump as tears rolled down her face against her will.
“I couldn’t let anyone know about who I was or where I was from. N'Jadaka I understand how this seems, but I was there to see how life was. I met you unexpectedly, I couldn’t blow my cover. You never know who the King sends to watch you.” She explained.
His face remained cold as he took in what she said. [Your Name] was now avoiding his face at all costs, she still had love for Erik. But she knew he wasn’t the person she met at MIT. He had changed and for the worst and she knew there was no way she could help him. He was a lost cause, and this isn’t the way she wants to remember him, or for their children to remember him. Even if they didn’t know he was their father, she wanted to keep the good memories she had if them, that she had told her children.
Her thoughts were soon interrupted by Erik. “[Your Name] I have one last question before I let you go. And please answer this honestly.” He started walking closer to her, lifting her chin up with his index finger.
“Are the children you have mine?” [Your Name] studied his facial expression and she could tell for once Erik was truly being sincere and vulnerable.

Tumblr media
Aniya was sitting in her apartment on a hot summer night in Oakland, watching the first reruns of Chicago Med. Her mind hadn’t been at rest since the last time she heard form her brother after he killed Claw before making his way to Wakanda. Letting out a deep sigh she continued to focus on the tv show while eating her ice cream. When the drink she had on her coffee stable started to shake, sitting up from her previous position. Reaching for the remote, she muted the television trying to pay close attention to the sounds from outside her apartment.
Moving quietly, she set her ice cream down on the coffee table, when there was a knock at her door. Cursing under her breathe she quickly got the gun she keeps taped under her coffee table, making her way to the door. Aniya cocked the gun taking  a deep breathe before opening the door to only be met with the Dora Milaje.
Much to her dismay, she fixed her glasses on her face before pulling her lower lips to show her mark before letting the women in. Soon enough the Black Panther followed behind them, Aniya watched as the five people made their way into her home judging her surroundings. She quickly checked the hall one last time before closing the door and locking it.
“Just give me on moment, I’m gonna put this away and we can talk about why you’re here and how you even know I exist.” Walking away before anyone could answer.
Aniya’s mind was racing as she packed away her gun, how they found her. Was it because of Erik? Was he okay? And why after all this time are they just now coming to see her? What could have happened to warrant this surprise and completely unwelcome visit.
Making her way form her coat closet in the hallway of her unit, she made her way back into the living room to see the Dora standing around her cousin who was sitting on her couch. An unpleased scuff left her mouth as she took in the whole scene in front of her.
“Excuse me your highness, I don’t know how they raised you where your from. But you speak before you take a seat in someone’s home here.” She spoke abruptly sitting across from him.
T’Challa’s face morphed into one of shock standing quickly not wanting to make this difficult trip any worse. This caused Aniya to chuckle before extending her hand for him to sit again.
“Now, what do I owe this pleasure to? Came to make nice with the traitors other love child?” T’Challa could not only hear the sarcasm that dripped from her voice but also the hurt.
“N’Jadka has requested you presence in Wakanda, he only recently made us aware of you.”
Aniya let out a chuckle of disbelief before looking him up and down. “So, let me just make this make sense for me, just bear with me please. After not hearing from the only living relative I have left, for five almost six months. He all of a sudden wants me to just drop everything I have going for myself to join him in the country to which killed me father? He can kiss my ass, and I mean that.”
Sitting back on her seat for a moment, she bit her lip trying to keep the tears at bay realizing there has to be a reason as to why it took him so long to reach out to her. And there is a reason he wants her to be with him.
Rubbing her hands up and down her face to dry her tears before trying to make sense of everything. “Alright, I’ll go but first tell me why after five months reached out for me now. And not when he got there? What happened?”
T’Challa watched as he saw the resolve of his little cousin break, seeing that she felt as if she was abandoned by her family, especially the only family she knew personally. His heart hurt for everything she went through the last few months, knowing what her brother did and the reason why she feels the way she does.
“Well for starters his entrance into Wakanda…” T’Challa went on to tell Aniya about what happened once her older brother made his way into Wakanda. As he told her about Erik dying and being revived  she fell into complete hysterics knowing that once he woke up he didn’t have family with him.
Along with the fact that he could’ve been dead forever and she wouldn’t have known, not being able to put his body to rest. Learning about everything he went through and that he was willing to leave her by herself just didn’t sit right with her. It honestly broke her spirit in a way she didn’t even expect.
Aniya let out a sigh as she moved her hands up and down her face. “So, did you know about me after he was hospitalized, or did he tell you after he woke up?”
“We found out about you after he was hospitalized, but before we could reach out to you he woke up and wanted for you to be there when he was ready.”
Aniya nodded clasping her hands open and closed in anger that her brother didn’t want her to be there for him. “Give me an hour and I’ll be ready.” Getting up she took her almost now melted ice cream, putting it in the freezer.
As she walked to her room grabbed her suitcase, while picking out clothes she saw her reflection in her mirror. Her hand went to her necklace, it was the only thing she had of her mother. It was a necklace her father gave her before he died, and her mother gave her the necklace before she died 15 years ago. 
Sniffling she looked away and continued to pack trying not to think about the fact that Erik was willing to leave her alone in this world knowing he was the only real family she had. They had gone through everything together and she didn’t even know the real reason he went to Wakanda.
“I swear to god when I see that nigga it’s on sight.” She mumbled to herself as she finished zipping up her bag.
Slipping on a pair of vans, she grabbed a few more things before making her way to the front where her three unexpected guests were. Nodding, she signaled she was ready to go. They continued their way to the roof after she had locked up her apartment.
They all boarded the aircraft where there was a beyond awkward silence. Looking around she saw how advanced everything was and now she understood why her father betrayed his country. They got to live in a utopia without worrying while her people were dying for just existing. She scuffed feeling this bubble of anger sit in her chest that she had to deal with her best friend being shot in front of her while her cousins didn’t have to worry about living to see the next day.
“Is something wrong?” A Dora asked looking over her shoulder.
Aniya shook her head no, deciding she didn’t trust herself not to snap at the older woman. Closing her eyes, she leaned into her seat trying to relax, she was finally going to Wakanda.

Wakanda 2018              Finally, months after being on a strenuous mission in Europe [Your Name] was home in Wakanda. She smiled as she flew into the city, an overwhelming feeling of happiness washed over her. Soon, she would be able to see her family after debriefing with her superiors about her mission.
Unbuckling herself she made her way to the front of the carrier sitting next to Xoliswa, she smiled at the Dora before looking onto Wakanda once again.
“As many times as I’ve seen this view, I never tire of it.”
“I feel the exact same way, [Your Name]. Especially the sunset, it’s truly breathtaking.”  Xoliswa responded.
An uneasy feeling settled upon [Your Name] as the sunset was mentioned. Nodding agreeing with Xoliswa, as the carrier started to land. The two made small talk as they gathered their items making their way off the aircraft, where they were met with another member of the Dora and [Your Name]’s older brother. As they made their way onto the runway she noticed a worried expression on the faces of her the Dora and her brother.
“Is everything alright? Did something happen to the kids while I was gone?” [Your Name] questioned becoming a distressed, thing that something happened to her children.
Her brother brought her into a hug. “No, nothing happened to them, but there was an attack at the United Nations summit in Vienna-”
“Is the T’Challa okay?” [Your Name] queried interrupting her brother.
“Yes, the new King is fine but King T’Chaka didn’t make it.” Her brother scanned her face for any sense of grief, which thankfully for [Your Name] being the amazing actress she is her features did show a form of grief.
But not for the King losing his life, but for Queen Mother losing her husband and for T’challa and Shuri losing their father. [Your Name] knew too much about what the King had done to ever feel sorry for him, not after what he had done.
Removing herself from her brother she looked up at him, clearing her throat. “Can we go to my mother’s? I just need to hold my children.”
He nodded grabbing the rest of his sister’s luggage taking it to his vehicle. While she made her way over to the two Dora’s to explain how she was feeling. Waiting a moment for them to finish their conversation she interjected starting a conversation with Xoliswa.
“Xoliswa, can you ask Okoye if I can report to her tomorrow. I need a little time to spend with my family.”
“Sure, I’ll ask Okoye to make sure. She’ll probably ask you to come to the council meeting later in the afternoon to report to her afterward.”
“Perfect, I just want to be home when the kids go to bed to make them feel a little bit more secure knowing what happened recently”
The two talked for a few more minutes until she made her way to the vehicle, getting in quickly he started to the car and they made their way to their mothers. After a few moments, the two siblings caught up on how the family was doing, her brother unlocked his phone showing her videos and pictures of their children playing together.
“Oh, Nia has gotten so big. It feels like the last time I saw her she could barely crawl!” She exclaimed looking at her niece chasing after her two children in their grandmother’s garden.
The ride continued as her brother told her the story of how her son N’Jobi pushed their great aunt after he heard her talking down on his mother. And the kicker of the story was that his Grandmother did nothing about it but ‘scold’ him, but in turn, when the aunt left gave him a few extra treats.
“I promise you; mother was so happy when she left! He is truly something else, and every time he sees her he doesn’t even want to speak to her.”
Laughing, [Your Name] shook her head as she thought about his actions. It reminded her a lot about their father. How when someone used to be rude how quick he was to put them in their place. Even though they never met their father they were so much like him, in the best ways.
“What can I say, they get it from their father.” She mentioned watching a few houses pass by, noting to herself that they were close to their destination.
“Speaking of which, why don’t you ever mention him to the rest of us. We don’t even know his name, where he was from. Hell, where you even met him.” This made her mood turn slightly sour.
“Here, we go!” She mumbled under her breath. “Because it’s honestly no one’s business. He didn’t want to be in their lives, so he’s not. It’s that simple and it happened while I was on a mission and I would’ve had to tell him why I was there. So, it worked out for the best so let’s leave it at that!”
No matter how many times he was brought up, she always shut down the topic of the children’s father. It was essential that no one knew who he was, especially when King T’Chaka was alive.
The last few moments of the car ride was slightly awkward for the siblings. As they pulled into the driveway of their mother’s home, her brother Abel locked the car door turning towards her.
“Look, I know he’s a touchy subject for you. I try to empathize with you on that, but your children need to know at least a little bit about him.”
Sighing she turned towards her brother with a small smile on her face. “I completely understand why you guys worry about them not knowing about him. And they do, I tell them stories about him all the time but no one else besides mom knows who he is. I mean who really he is, where he’s from and we keep it that way for a reason. I wish, I could tell you right now I really do, and I will eventually after I tell them who he is. But that’s not going to be for a while, and you have to be okay with that.”
He agreed to try to understand where she’s coming from, soon unlocking the car. The two made their way to the trunk of the car getting her luggage, they soon made their way into the house. And without warning [Your Name] was being tackled with hugs from her younger sister Kali.
The two greeted each other making their way further into the house, she eventually put her luggage in the guest room towards the back of the house before making her way into the kitchen. She took notice that her children didn’t even know she was back since they were making brownies with their grandmother.
“Well, well, well I’m pretty sure I have no sugar after 8 rule. But I see grandma chose to ignore that!” She announced playfully.
A chorus of word excitement was heard throughout the kitchen as her children ran towards her as she bent down to catch them in her arms. Kissing their heads, she hugged them tighter, not wanting to let them go.
“Oh, how I have missed the two of you!” She kissed all over each of their faces causing them to giggle and in return the kissed her all over her face.
Soon enough the trio broke up, [Your Name] made her way over to her mother with a child on each him and gave her mother a kiss on the cheek. Her mother smiled at her giving her a hug, which ended up being a hug between the four of them.
Amala -her mother- smiled pulling away from the hug, place a hand softly along her child’s cheek.
“Honey, you look so tired. Go, lay down I have the kids for the rest of the night.” This made the children whine about wanting to spend time with their mom after not seeing her for so long.
This went on for a few moments, which caused a chuckle from [Your Name] and her siblings as their mother had a playful argument with her grandchildren.
“Hey, hey no arguing with your grandmother. Now, mother, I’ll take your advice and go rest but all of us are going to have a family day in the Golden City tomorrow. We’ll leave here around 10 and from there we will decide on what to do.”
The family agreed to this but not without the mother saying she had a meeting sometime in the afternoon so she would most likely have to slip away for a bit. Which they all understood since she is the tribe elder. The group of six talked while [Your Name] ate leftovers from dinner, she mostly paid attention to her children talk about their school projects. How they had a musical performance coming up soon, which thankfully [Your Name] would be able to make it to.
After about an hour of hanging out, she made her way to the guest room. Doing her night routine, she climbed into bed getting comfortable for sleep. She checked her phone quickly seeing the Okoye agreed to the debriefing for tomorrow since she was away on a last-minute mission. Responding quickly, she felt her bed dip, she turned around to see her children getting comfortable. Putting her phone down, she pulled Nayla closer to her left while N’Jobi moved to her right and soon the three of them fell asleep.
NEXT DAY             After having breakfast and getting ready the family was off to the golden city to the local park. For the kids to have a little fun before they went shopping, since [Your Name] has been looking for a new place closer to her family. Once, they got to the park the kids went off to play on the playscape, while the adults sat at a table not too far away from the play area.
They watched the kids play for about thirty minutes before [Your Name] and Abel joined the children. Kali and Amala sat at the table chatting about Kali’s school life. How college was going when everyone ran up to the table. Abel went into the cooler handing the kid’s juice boxes while he got everyone else a water bottle.
“So [Your Name] are you gonna have any missions anytime soon? Or are you gonna take a break?” Kali asked catching her sister off guard.
“I think I’m gonna retire from being a spy soon to help Abel with his business also, to be around more since the kids are getting older. And since he declined to be next in line as a council member for the tribe. Mom will probably have me start preparing for that.” 
“I keep forgetting he turned down the council. But-” Before Kali could finish their mother got a call on her Kimyo beads from the princess.
“Hello, Princess Shuri what do I owe this pleasure?” Amala asked walking away from the table to take the call.
The two sisters looked at each other confused before shrugging continuing to watch the kids play and talking. It had been a good fifteen minutes before their mother came back tapping her eldest daughter’s shoulder.
“I am so sorry to do this honey, but we have an emergency meeting. And you being the next in line, you have to come.” [Your Name] sighed looking at her mother before running her hands over her face.
“Alright give me a minute to talk to Nai and Jobi.” Her mother nodded making her wat to her car.
Making her way towards the two children running around with their cousins, she calls out their names to which they run over towards her.
“Mommy has to go to a meeting with Grandma but to make up for me having to leave we can have a movie night. Just the three of us and then the next day we can do whatever you guys want, and I mean anything.”
N’Jobi smacked his lips playfully. “You really mean anything?”
This made his mother and sister giggle before responding. “Yes, anything now gives mama a hug so I can get this meeting over with to be able to hang out with my babies.”
Sighing heavily Nayla gave her a tight hug, kissing her cheek and N’Jobi soon followed. Standing up again she shooed them off to go play, making her way to her mother’s car. Getting into the car, she buckled up as her mother drove off.
“Did she say anything as to why this Emergency meeting was called?”
“No, not really just said T’Challa thinks this country needs a bit of change.” Turning to her mother with a surprised face.
“Oh, really now! I wonder what caused this change of heart, it’s not like we’ve been saying this since Prince N’Jobu died mysteriously!” This caused her mother to smack her leg.
“Hush! We will not speak of that, especially so close to the palace. You know he has an excellent hearing with the strength of de black pantha!” [Your Name] cackled at her mothers’ antics as they pulled onto the palace grounds.
Before the two knew it they were leaving the car making their way to the room where the meeting will be held. After arriving the meeting started and T’Challa suggested that Wakanda open up their resources to the rest of the world, [Your Name] was surprised by this as an argument started between the council. That was until the doors to the room opened and in walked Wakabi with a man she knew all too well.
Diverting her attention away from him, she looked at the Queen Mother as Wakabi brought forth Erik. As he explained that Erik was the son of the late Prince N’Jobu, she felt her stomach drop as they made eye contact. A lump formed into her throat as he argued with her mother along with the royal family.
As he made his declaration that he wanted to fight for the throne his eyes shift to [Your Name]. He continues looking at her before being escorted out of the room to prepare for the combat ceremony.  As he left her eyes followed him, the last time she saw him he looked the same way. Sweaty, eyes and breathing erratic as he screams his argument to anyone that will hear.
Massachusetts 2014          Erik sat in his car waiting for [Your Name] to show up to her apartment. It had been about a week since she told him she was pregnant, they hadn’t talked. She tended to avoid him whenever they were around their friends, he wanted to try and at least leave things on a better note and to see what she planned on doing with the child.
He let out a deep breath getting out of his car once he noticed her parking her car. She got out of her car quickly making her way to her apartment. He followed behind her calling her name. 
“[Your Name]! I know you hear me talking to you!” He yelled after her jogging to catch up to her.
Turning around she stopped walking to look at him. “What the fuck could you possibly want Erik?”
“Woah, Woah watch the attitude I just came here to talk.” This caused her face to turn up in annoyance. 
“Nigga fuck you! The fuck you mean watch my attitude? You’re the one-” His hand covered her mouth as he stared her down. 
“Shut the fuck up and open the door so we can talk about this. I don’t want your nosey ass neighbors all in our business.” Rolling her eyes at the pure aggressiveness of Erik’s tone, she snatched his hand off of her mouth.
Moving away from him she unlocked her apartment, walking into her apartment she put her bags down on the kitchen counter. Erik closed the door making his way towards her.
“So, what do you want? I thought the last time we talked we were done.” She stated impatiently, getting water from the fridge.
“So, that’s it we’re broken up? You’re just gonna leave me because we’re not ready for a kid!” She looked at Erik like he was crazy for raising his voice at her, in her damn apartment.
“Yes, that’s a good enough reason you jackass! Now if you don’t mind please, get the fuck out!” 
“Nah, I’m not leaving until we fix this, baby. Look, I love you-“ [Your Name] scuffed at him once again.
“Erik, if you loved me you would’ve acted completely different when I told you. It’s not the fact that you don’t want this child, because guess what I can’t afford one right now either. I’m really hurt that-” Her voice broke as she thought about how little he made her feel.
“It’s the fact that you treated me like some random you fucked and turned up at your door pregnant. I know more about you than any other bitch ever will, and the fact that you talked to me like I was some random bitch off the street. It is exactly why I’m done with you E.” Wiping the tears away from her face, she studied his expression.
Which happened to mirror hers, his eyes were lined with tears.
Present Day           Snapping out of her haze, [Your Name] saw that her mother was watching her in concern. But, be it as it may her mother wasn’t the only one who notices, Queen Ramonda had also noticed the exchange of looks between [Your Name] and her nephew. Taking note of the events that had just happened Ramonda walked over to the two women, telling them that they should start heading to the waterfall for the ceremony.
“I’ll join you two in a moment I need to make a quick call to check up on the kids.” Excusing herself [Your Name] quickly made her way into a secluded part of the palace to call her sister. Waiting impatiently for her sister to answer the phone, she needed to make sure her children were far, far away from this. She knows how determined Erik is when he wants something, and in this case, he won’t stop until he or T’Challa is dead. Finally, after calling multiple times Kali answered.
“Hey, sorry  I didn’t-”
“There’s no time for formalities, I need you to take the children up to the Jabari and ask for M’Baku to watch them.”
This took Kali back as she heard the sheer fear and worry in her sisters’ voice. “Wait, why, what’s going on?”
“To say the least their father is back and it’s not for the better. Now please take them to him, I’ll catch you up on this later, just please get them to the Jabari as soon as possible.” Kali agreed
Hanging up the call, [Your Name] took a deep breath before making her way to the waterfalls. As she made her way through the grounds she had a feeling this wasn’t going to end in a way that the elders or even the rest of the kingdom hopped.

Tumblr media
Massachusetts 2014              [Your Name] took a deep breath walking up to her boyfriend’s apartment, it was their usual movie night. With some takeout from different places from all over the city, a few new movies from Redbox and Netflix. The two would just have a relaxing night in that usually got a little heated.
But now, here she is, at his doorsteps with the food for movie night nervous about the news she’s about to give him. Knocking on the door, she waited a few moments for him to answer the door. Trying to steady her breath and calm her nerves so he wouldn’t pick up the mental battle she was going through. As soon as he opened the door she smiled up at him leaning in to give him a quick kiss, making her way into the apartment. 
Erik watched her intensely as she moved around his place setting up the food for them. He made his way to the couch sitting beside her, he knew something was off but if she wanted to talk about it she eventually would. Continuing on the movie night the two started eating while they watched The Equalizer,  every so often Erik would catch [Your Name] staring at her before she would turn her attention back to the movie.
About halfway through the movie, he had finally had enough of her odd behavior. Which caused him to pause the movie and turn towards her.
“So, are you going to tell me what’s wrong with you or are you going to keep staring at me until you talk yourself out of it.” 
Swiftly [Your Name] looked over at him curiously, trying to think of a way to tell him what she had found out earlier this week. Taking a deep breath, she turned towards him looking him in the eyes.
“Well, to put it light Erik. We are going to be parents within the next 8 months.” 
It felt like time froze as she watched Erik’s face contort into one of confusion, anger, and other emotions she couldn’t really decipher. 
“Are you positive?”
 A scuff left her mouth as she shook her head, she could feel her attitude emerging. 
“Yes, Erik I’m fucking sure! That’s why I went to the doctors earlier this week.”
The two sat there silently as she waited for Erik to say anything, and when he did boy did she finally regret it.
“Do you want to have it? If not I’ll pay for the abortion.” 
“I honestly don’t know Erik, I at least thought you would be happy about this!” She expressed petrified that he was acting this way.
“And honestly why would I be? I’m not ready to be a father, you’re not even finished with fucking college! I have plans for my life that if I have a child it will only complicate shit! You know this!”
“You act like I did this shit on purpose! It takes two to create a fucking child, I have plans for my life too, nigga! This doesn’t revolve around your hardheaded ass!” 
The two were now standing looking over each other both feeling a mix of emotions. Erik loved [Your name] but he wasn’t ready to have kids and he didn’t know if he ever really would be. After about ten minutes of looking at each other, she made her way around the apartment to collect her things feeling sick to her stomach at how things had turned out.
“Yo, where the fuck are you going?” He questioned grabbing her arm as she made her way to leave the apartment.
“I’m leaving you don’t have to worry about this anymore. I’ll take care of it.” Yanking her arm out of Erik’s grip making her way out of the apartment to her car with her belongings with her.
As she got into her car starting it up she felt as if her stomach was in knots not knowing what she was going to have to do. This wasn’t a part of her plan, and now she was going to have to deal with the consequences with Erik and when she got back home to Wakanda.

DON'T WALK AWAY
about — Cesar turns up at Oscars girlfriend house looking for a place to stay and ends up telling her about what happened at Olivia’s birthday and the aftermath of it. This doesn’t sit right with her so she goes and pays Oscar a little visit.
pairing — Oscar ‘Spooky’ Diaz x Black Female OC | Deja |
prompt — “You lied to me!”
author’s note — Honestly this is really decent at best lol, but I did have fun writing it because I’ve never really wrote angst before. so it’s something new and please leave feedback to let me know how you think I wrote Oscar.
Tumblr media
A knock on her door at nine in the morning surprised Deja, as anyone who knew her knew not to come over her house unannounced. She quickly set her cup of tea down as the knocks became more frantic, making her way to the door.
Once she opens it she sees her boyfriend’s little brother Cesar, with only a bag on his shoulder. She studied his facial expression noticing how tired he looked, stepping to the side she let him in not knowing why he was here.
“Do you want something to drink or eat Cesar? I was just about to make breakfast.”
“Yeah,” he chuckled softly “that’s be nice, Dej.”
“So, you think I’m just gonna make breakfast by myself. No, take your shoes off and put them by the door and wash your hands boy. You’re helping me make breakfast.” She instructed pouting to the door for him to put his shoes near it.
“And while we cook you’re going to tell me what you and Oscar fought about. And also, why you choose to come to my place instead of your little girlfriends.”
He nodded doing as she said as she made her way to the kitchen getting out the waffle maker and the pancake mix. As she continued to get everything set up, she had a feeling that this was gonna be a conversation she was going to have to mention to Oscar later on today.
Turning on the frying pan she placed the bacon in the pan and let it start cooking. “Alright, I hate to bring this up, but I have a feeling this has to do with what happened to Olivia right?”
Cesar’s breath hitches and shoulders tense at the mention of the dead girl, he dried his hands turning around to look at Deja.
“It’s more about what I didn’t handle with Latrelle.”
Deja looked for him to continue speaking, hopefully getting to the point of why he’s here. “Can we please talk about this after breakfast. I just need a moment to not think about it?” He begged hopefully.
She agreed to it pulling him into a hug kissing his forehead. “I’m always here if you need me, just know that. Now make the pancake mix and I have chocolate chips in the pantry if you want to add some.”
The two continued making breakfast and just talking about the trip Deja just got back from. Visiting a few family members, she had in Miami, for about a week. By the time they finished eating the two had the conversation Cesar dreaded to have. He discussed the conversation between him and Oscar leading to him being kicked out because he didn’t kill Latrelle when he had the chances Which resulted in him watching his best friend and ex-girlfriend get shot at her quinceañera.
“Did he even try to convince them to let you stay with him?”
“I honestly don’t even know Deja, but I just need a few days to stay here. I tried staying at Ruby’s, but I know how they feel about what happened, just please don’t tell Oscar I’m not supposed to stay at a Santos girls place either.”
“Cesar if I have to break up with Oscar to make sure you’re safe I will. And I’ll get a gun too just in case anybody wants to try it. Now stay here and relax. I have a few errands to run today. Don’t answer the door either, for anyone.” Deja quickly made her way to her room changing before saying a goodbye to Cesar making her way over to Oscars place.
Once she arrived she got out of the car noticing there were a few Santos members littered around the front yard. This caused her to be angered more than she already was when she locked eyes with Oscar.
Walking up to him, she couldn’t help but want to smack the ever-loving shit out of him. “Oscar, we need to talk.”
“Not right now, I’m- I don’t give fuck about what you’re doing we need to talk right. fucking. now Oscar.” She emphasized.
He looked up and down as he felt his temper rise.
“Alright what do you want to talk about?” He replied sitting back on the couch.
“You really want to do this in front of your boys?” He smirked, nodding for her to continue.
Deja scuffed not believing he was acting this much of an ass. “So why the fuck did you lie to me about Cesar?”
“And how is that any of your business.”
“Bitch don’t play with me; I took care of him those four years your ass got locked up. So, it is my fucking business Oscar I don’t care if we broke up today he’s always going to be my fucking business. I can’t believe you have to audacity to even ask me that dumb ass question!”
Deja watched his face contort into one of anger, it usually makes her a bit uneasy. But she could give less than a damn right now especially. That was until he got up standing a few centimeters away from her face.
“Watch how you talk to me.”
“I’ll watch how I talk you once we figure how to fuck to help Cesar!” She yelled back, this caused him to grab her arm making his way into the house.
“Don’t ever fucking grab my arm like that again! What the hell is up with you? Kicking Cesar out after you told me you would make sure he would stay with you!”
“You lied to me!”
“Didn’t I just say for you to watch how you talk to me, lower your voice. And there’s nothing more I can do, I talked to the Santos about it and they don’t want to keep him in the gang, Deja. And he can’t stay with you.”
This caused her to look at him like he had lost his mind. “I don’t give a fuck about what the Santos say I can’t do. He’s staying with me, until you sort this shit out.”
He let out a frustrated sigh knowing that this was going to happen. He dragged his hands down his face before looking at Deja noticing how mad she truly was and didn’t blame her for being this mad at him. She thought he was just abandoning his little brother, tossing him to the streets.
And for how long to two had been together which was six almost seven years, she took Cesar in as her little brother. The two stood there looking at each other in a heated silence, Deja couldn’t believe how nonchalant about his little brothers’ situation.
“So, is there nothing you can do to help him? He’s just supposed to live on the streets. This is why you took care of him so he wouldn’t have to deal with why you dealt with but you’re only making it worse Oscar.”
“You don’t think I know that!” He exclaimed, walking towards her.
“You don’t think this isn’t fucking with me. I had to watch him beg for me to take him back in and I just had to turn him away and act like everything was fine. Buts it fucking not! I promise I’m trying to work on something Deja, I’ll let you and him know when I can do something about it, but until then he can’t stay with you! It’s too dangerous.” Deja took in everything he said, noting that by his expressiveness that he was trying but she just couldn’t come to terms with having to kick Cesar out.
She stayed silent not making eye contact with him not knowing what to say or do. “Just please figure out something fast. I don’t want anything bad to happen to him.” She stressed looking at him pulling him in for a quick hug.
Oscar kisses her forehead hugging her a little tighter trying to figure out how to help his little brother.

Erik laughed at the story his girlfriend of two years was telling about the time her mother caught her older brother with a girl in the house. The two sat out on the balcony at a party his cousin threw deciding to step away from the celebration inside for a little bit of quiet time.
The two continued to talk for a bit as they sipped on the drinks they had. They talked about everything under the sun, from this event to work and their families. [ Your Name ] let out a shaky sigh feel the crisp cold air, feeling goosebumps form on her arms.
“You’re shaking, baby are you cold?” He questioned finishing his drink.
She nodded, rubbing her hands down her arms trying to warm herself up. “It’s freezing. Come here.”
She pulled Erik to her causing him to wrap his arms around her. “If you wanted me to just hug you all you had to do was say so.”
[ Your Name ] giggled into Erik’s chest, scooting closer, getting a little more comfortable. “I really love moments like this with you E.”
“I know baby, I do too.” He mumbles kissing her.

MISSIN’ YOU
summary — Oscar had been trying to get out of Los Santos for a while. Especially, after getting his little brother dragged into it, and finding out how little his family meant to the gang. But in the process he lost on of the most important people in his life.
pairing — oscar ‘spooky’ diaz x yolanda turner [ black!oc ] w.c — 1.95k suggested song — warrior by chloe x halle authors note — there will be lyrics used within the one-shot that i took inspiration from making this. also there will be flashbacks that will be italicized and bold
Tumblr media
It had been like any other night for Yolanda she was in her home relaxing listening to music as she began to unwind from her stressful day full of classes and work. When one of her favorite songs came on, They Don’t Know by Jon B. This song brought back so many memories she didn’t even know where to start honestly.
This was one of her go to songs when she had issues with her ex-boyfriend Oscar, it put their relationship into words better than she ever could. And at times she misses when things were simpler for them, the as of recent. Things were good for them until he went to jail, she stayed with him for the short bid that he had but when he got out. Things felt like they were spiraling out of control.
With her little brother finding the Roller World money, Cesar dealing with the stress of being jumped into Los Santos, it felt like she was in a never ending mess. Not to mention trying to help them with their issues, she neglected the issues in her relationship until it was too late.
The whole situation is funny to her, how she waited so long to be able to hold him and now when they see each other it’s like looking at a stranger.
“Oh, my darling, I've been missing. You for quite some time”
Some days she just missed being able to stop by his house after work and just be held by him as she went on about his day. Just hearing his voice made her day better, and now to not even acknowledge each other’s existence hurts on a different level, she feels like a five year relationship was just thrown away and still having to see him. Because her baby brother got her into his bullshit.
Yolanda let out a shaky sigh wiping the tears the managed to roll down her face. Once she managed to stop herself from crying over a lost love, she got up from her couch going into the kitchen to refill her glass of wine. Sometimes she just wondered does he miss her the same way she misses him. Or is he happy without her?
“Oh, my darling I am getting closer, hold on tight. And I, know it hasn't been so easy. I'm fighting for my life.”
Across town Oscar at his dining room table thinking about his meeting with Cuchillos, he realized how little his family meant to Los Santos. He had given up too many things in his life to not mean anything to that woman or this gang. He gave up a chance to get out of the hood to help his little brother, and the one person he loved.
And knowing he could be thrown away like trash tomorrow didn’t sit right with him at all. He needed to find a way to get out of Los Santos and to get Cesar out too, and to make sure the other kids got out of the situation alright too.
Running his hand down his face, he lets out a frustrated sigh picking up his phone. It had been months since he had talked to her, but she was the only person he could think to turn to with everything he’s dealing with right now.
He should’ve listened to her when he had an easier way out with Cesar and the kids being completely safe. He mindless went to her contact as he thought over if she would even answer. And before he knew it he had dialed her number and was waiting for her to answer.
After five rings she picked up, with a cracked voice. “Hello?”
Clearing his throat, he began speaking. “Hey, mamas I know it’s been a while since we talked but honestly I just need your advice on somethings.”
This caused Yolanda to chuckle softly. “Do you need my advice, or my presence is the real question Oscar, and you know where I stay.” After that she hung up, leaving him feeling a little lighter.
Before leaving he sent Cesar a quick text telling him he’d be out for a while and not to wait up for him. He got in his Impala and made his way across town to see Yolanda, and to say he was nervous would be an understatement.
Soon enough he was at her apartment complex, and as soon as he pulled up to her building he saw her outside on her balcony smoking wearing the robe her bought her last Christmas with a glass of wine next to her. A small smile graced his face as he watched her for a moment before getting out of the car and making his way up to her place.
Before he could even knock on the door, Yolanda opened it letting him inside. So, what do I owe this visit to?” She questioned looking him up and down before closing the door and locking it.
“Uh, shit’s just gotten out of hand- oh really now?” Yolanda cut him off with a feigned confusion.
Which caused Oscar to smack his lips annoyance. “I can never just tell yo’ mean ass what I’m going through can I?”
Shrugging Yolanda went into her fridge grabbing him a beer that her dad had left from when they had family dinner at her place a few days ago. She passed it to him before taking a seat next to him on the couch. She gave him a look to continue what he was saying before she had interrupted.
“But things have gotten out of hand, and I just need to get me and Cesar out of here. This isn’t what I wanted for him at all, I wanted better for the both of us and now we’re stuck here under that egotistic bitch and we don’t even fucking matter to her. She doesn’t give a fuck that they could die because of the shit she wanted them to do. Like they’re literally just kids.” She continued to listen to him as he went on about everything that had turned his world even further upside down since their split.
No less than a few hours later she ended up holding Oscar as he cried of frustration, soothing him telling him everything was gonna be alright. And she really hoped that it would be because she could tell there was only so much more that he could take, and as much as she’s pissed of how their relationship ended she didn’t want to see him any worse than he was at the moment.
“Look, I know we ended on a bad note-Yolanda proceeded to give him a look of annoyance- alright, an awful not but I wanna make things right. And I will once I figure out how to get the kids out of this. You just gotta trust me.” Yolanda looked over his features studying him to see if he was telling the truth.
The look in his eyes really said it all, he wanted a better life for them. And she knew he’d do whatever it takes to make sure they would have a better chance along with their younger siblings.
“Alright, I’ll trust you, but you can’t just leave me in the dark with this. I need to make sure you’re okay, don’t just shut me out.”
No more than a week had went by after Oscars visit to Yolanda’s apartment, and she hadn’t heard much from him. But she did overhear her little brother talking to Ruby about what Oscar was planning to do to Cuchillos. And she couldn’t help but feeling a looming threat of anxiety knowing that this situation could go south at any given time. And she wanted them to be able to leave Los Santos for a better life she just didn’t want him to die trying to.
At the moment she was making her way home from a long day of work when she got a call from Ruby’s Abuelita telling her to stop by she had something for her. Confused as she was Yolanda still decided to go knowing that Aubelita knew about some of the stuff the kids were dealing with, so she would be getting some info on something.
Once she pulled up to Martinez residence she made her way to the front door where Aubelita was standing rushing her inside. Before she could even ask any questions about what was going on she saw Oscar sitting at the dining room table drinking a forty with his neck cut up. Quickly rushing over to him, she carefully inspected him and the stitching she assumed Aubelita had done.
“Baby, wh-what happened? Are you okay, does this have anything to do with- Can we talk about it later I promise we will, can we just go back to yours.” Yolanda stared at him for a few moments a look of concern clouded her facial expressions.
Oscar could tell that she was conflicted on how to feel with what little she knew, and he wanted to clear it up for her but all he needed right now was to just relax with her.
“I promise mamas I will.” Nodding Yolanda kissed his forehead before turning towards Aubelita thanking her for taking care of Oscar and that’d shed find some type of way to repay her.
The couple quickly made their way to Yolanda’s car just wanting to distress in the safety of her home. Once they were settled in the car Landa finally started asking questions.
“Does the cut have anything to do with Cuchillos? And when were you going to tell me that you were handling her?” Her voice shook as she made a turn onto her street.
“They do and I had to, I told you I wanted better for us and that’s what I’m trying to do. I’m tired of this shit, of looking over my shoulder every damn day. I want to settle down have a family, a normal life and not worry about none of this sht. And I want that with you and that bitch was the only thing standing in the way. So, I took care of her.” By the time Oscar had finished his emotion filled speech they were parked in front of the apartment building.
The couple stared at each other for a few moment before Yolanda let out a nervous sigh. “I’m not mad that you did it. You did what you had to do, just next time you do something like that talk to me first. I shouldn’t have to hear about this through Jamal’s big mouth ass when Cesar call him. Now come on let’s get you inside.
“There's no need to worry love .Look around it's glorious. Close your eyes and taste the sun”.
Oscar sighed setting down the last of the boxes before making his way outside where Yolanda and her family were talking. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder kissing her temple, the couple exchanged a smile before she went back to talking to her mom.
Less than two years ago things were different for the couple. They weren’t even together and now their engaged and living the life Oscar had to kill for them to have and he couldn’t be happier. Now, they’re standing on the lawn of their home with sun beating down their neck talking to his soon to be in-laws about the final details of their baby shower. Looking around the neighborhood they had just bought their first home in he couldn’t help but feel overjoyed that this was the start of a life he always pictured with the love of his life.

I KNEW
summary - Thor sits back and realizes he would do things differently if it meant he could have more firsts with the love of his life.
pairing - thor odinson x black!oc [ justine ]
w.c - 864
lyric inspiration -“Now, baby, now, baby, now, baby / Oh, oh, oh, I, I know it breaks your heart / To picture the only one you wanna love / In someone else’s arms, but I wouldn’t have done / All the things that I have done / If I knew one day you would come”
author's note - This is an Au I guess like Thor is just a regular rich human and it’s a bit short but I liked this and wasn’t really sure how to make it longer! Also I tried to make this as cute as possible but it’s a little iffy but enjoy! 😘
SERIES MASTERLIST | MASTERLIST
It was two in the morning and Thor couldn’t sleep, sitting up against the headboard of his bed, he couldn’t help but wish he could’ve done things a bit differently in life. How he wished he could’ve lived differently, especially since he met Justine. He wholeheartedly wished he would’ve found her sooner. He had never felt so loved in his life; he wishes he could save so many of his firsts for her. He couldn’t really imagine life without her now that he has her by his side.
He’s honestly surprised that she’s stayed with him with everything that comes with being with him. The long nights at work, not always being available to her the way he wants to. Knowing that a date could be interrupted at any time because of his job, he wishes he could give her so much more.
He wishes he could be seventeen again, but this time with her. Going on first dates having all the time in the world to be with her. Spending the weekend going to the movies, having the innocence of a first love that would most likely last a lifetime. Just being free with no responsibilities, just open to loving her with all of his heart while having little to no complications.
Thor was taken out of his thoughts feeling Justine move around in the bed getting comfortable in her sleep. He couldn’t help but look at her, noticing how cute she looked, sleeping her mouth slightly open and you could hear her soft snores, her bonnet about to slip off of her head and how the moon light hit the high points of her face. Just looking at her made his heart flutter, a smile spread across his face as he watched her. He reached down fixing her bonnet, placing a kiss on her forehead before getting up going to his office.
As he walked down the hallways of their house, thinking about what he was about to do. Stepping into his office he went into his bottom drawer of his desk pulling out the velvet box that he had gotten a week ago. He had wanted to propose for a while now, knowing his workload was about to slow down and he was at a point where he didn’t want to go too much further without being married to Justine.
Leaning against his desk, he opened the box looking over the ring. A small smile spread across his face as he took the ring out of the box, looking at the engraving inside the ring. He couldn’t help but remember some of their best memories that they’ve had.
While he sat on his desk thinking about his relationship with the love of his life. Justine rolled over in bed to snuggle up to Thor only to find the space next to her empty. She sat up slowly rubbing the sleep out of her eyes looking around the room to see that he wasn’t in the room. Getting out of the bed, she stretched feeling her bones pop before making her way out of the room going to look for her man.
Justine made her way throughout the hallway of their home looking for Thor and after a few moments of searching she found him in his office. Leaning against the door frame she noticed him smiling looking out of the window with a look of longing. She continued to watch him for a while before making her way to him, wrapping her arms around his midsection placing a kiss on his neck.
“What are you up so late for?” She mumbled into his chest. Thor sighed wrapping his arms around her giving her a kiss on her forehead.
“I couldn’t sleep and was thinking about you.” Justine hummed in response rubbing her hands up and sown Thors back.
“What about me?” She questioned pulling back looking into his eyes.
A smile spread across his face as he continued to look at the love of his life. He felt a sense of warmness come over him as the looked at each other. Thor moved one of his arms from around her placing the velvet box he had on the desk before standing straight.
“Well, I was thinking about how happy you make me and how if I could, I would defiantly do a few things in life differently so I could share some of the firsts you’ve shared with me. I could share with you, just to be able to discover more things with you.” Justine smiled pulling Thor back into a hug placing a kiss on his chest before speaking.
“Baby, we have the rest of our lives to discover new things together. Honestly- And you’re right we do have the rest of our lives to discover things together and share everything together. And I don’t want to wait any longer for that to happen. So, I just have one question for you. Justine Johnson, will you marry me?” She pulled back from the hug surprised that he had just asked her to marry him.
“A-a-are you serious? Of course, I would.” She grabbed his face pulling him into a kiss.

NICE FOR WHAT
Tumblr media
about | eriks reaction to his little sister getting her heart broken.
characters | erik stevens xsibling!reader
| MASTERLIST |
Tumblr media
YN wiped the tears rolling down her cheeks with her sleeve. She grabbed her phone to put in some music to help her mood, her boyfriend of two years had just cheated on her with his ‘best friend’. She was sick and tired of always being played; she was too nice for her own good.
While her music played she got up going to her bathroom to clean up her face. As she just started to moisturize, she heard her door open. She knew it only had to be her older brother Erik. He was the only person besides their little cousin Shuri who had a key. She let out a shaky breath knowing either Erik was gonna tell her ‘I told yo dumb ass he wasn’t shit’ or he was either going to kill the grimy nigga. Either way, she wasn’t ready to deal with Erik.
“Lil girl! Where you at?” He yelled making his way to the back of her apartment.
Once he got to her bedroom he waited on her bed for her to exit the bathroom, since he heard the water running. Once his little sister left the bathroom, the smile that was once on his face was gone. He could see the dullness in her eyes and how puffy her eyes were from crying. He got up pulling her into a hug not saying a word. She started to cry holding onto him tightly not wanting to let go. He comforted her by playing with the ends of her braids.
“What happened and who the fuck do I have to kill?” Erik questioned slightly pulling away from the younger Stevens.
“Jamel, he cheated on me with his ‘best friend’ Tracy.” She mumbled.
“Well damn if the nigga was gonna cheat he could’ve done it with a bad bitch. Not the female version of Pyles.” Erik joked trying to cheer YN up.
A small chuckle left her lips, which made him smile. He could always figure out how to make her feel better.
“But on some real shit. Imma tell you something right now. A lot of the nigga out here ain’t shit. And to be honest I fall under that category, now before you say some smart shit just listen. He ain’t shit because he ain’t see the good thing he had in front of him.”
“One thing you not about to do is cry over this nigga. Because for one, we Stevens we don’t cry over niggas or bitches.” This made YN slap his chest pulling away from the hug with a smile on her face.
“Second, you got some much good shit happening to you if in life. Why let this ain’t shit ass nigga fuck it up. And third, why you out here being nice to niggas in the first place. He didn’t want better for himself; he was just holding onto you so you wouldn’t leave. So, he could make you miserable.” He finished, as she took it all in she realized her older brother was right and made sense for once.
“Now, what did I tell you.”
“Don’t be nice to these niggas? Nice for what? If they ain’t helping me or bringing anything to help me to grow they can die for all I care.” She stated.
Erik grinned hitting her shoulder repeatedly. “That’s what I’m talking about sis! Don’t stress over him, or that ugly ah’ bitch. Now get ya ass up we going to dinner and you paying.” YN smacked her lips side-eyeing him.
“Broke ass, I always pay.” She yelled after him.

Once, she got off the elevator she walked over to Sam’s car which he was standing again, she gave him a quick hug before getting into the car.
Sam closed her door, shaking his head before going over to the drivers side. “Now, when have I ever let you open a car door?”
“You haven’t but I didn’t even notice. I just want to get this over with, so I never have to see her smug ass face ever again.” Sighing Giselle slumped back into her seat.
Sam hummed in agreement start the car up for them to make their way to meet Gamora at a café in mid-town. During the drive the two small talked about everything they’ve been feeling since their breakthrough happened. Things felt lighter the more they talked about it, until the dreadful moment that they pulled up to the café to see Gamora sitting on the patio waiting for them.
Getting out of the car, the two made their way inside of the, soon enough the two were standing in front of Gamora ready to get down to business.
“Hello, Gamora. Let’s just get down to it, why did you interfere with our relationship? And I know it was dwindling on its own, but it didn’t need your help.” Sam started after pulling out a chair for Giselle.
Clearing her throat Gamora looked Giselle up and down before turning to Sam. “Honestly, it’s because I wanted you.” Smirking she shrugged her shoulders.
Giselle leaned her arms onto the table tapping her fingers. “Alright, bitch I’m not here for the game playing. Either be honest with us or we can leave. I don’t have the time for this.”
“I’m telling the truth, I wanted Sam. I wanted what y’all had. So, I did what I could to get it.”
“Oh, so is that why you cheated on Peter before you started this little plan of yours? Or is it because the man you really wanted didn’t want you, so you deiced to mess up someone else’s relationship?” Sam questioned leaning back in his seat.
His speech caused Giselle to turn to him with an eyebrow raised in suspicion, he nodded at her letting her know he had this covered and knew what he was doing.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about Sam?” Gamora asked cocking her head to the side.
“Oh, really what about the fact that you cheated on Peter and told him it was with me? But the weekend you told him I was on an anniversary vacation trying to fix Giselle and I’s relationship. You don’t have to lie to us Gamora, we don’t care about why you cheated on Peter we just wanted to know what the fuck it had to do with us?” Sam finished his rant leaving both of the women seated at the table stunned.
“Yeah, what he said?” Giselle added in adjusting in her seat to get a little bit more comfortable.
Gamora took a deep sigh before blowing a raspberry. “It was with my first love; we don’t really have to get into it, but he’s built similar to Sam and when Peter started yelling at me and accusing me of seeing him. I panicked and said Sam,” Giselle was about to interrupt but before she could Gamora held up her hand signaling for her to continue, “I had just seen my ex when I went out with friends, and yes I did cheat on Peter, and I felt awful about that, but it was with someone else and it’s completely unrelated. And I’m sorry I just thought of the first person that came to mind.”
Taking a deep breath Sam looked between Giselle and Gamora as they both sat there silently. Giselle had a look on her face of confusion, anger and just annoyance over this whole situation.
“So, look at these and well start from there comparing peter’s take on things and yours.” Sam handed Gamora the phone wanting to get this over with along with closure on two of his past relationships.
The three of them soon fell into a conversion explaining Gamora side on a few things, confirming some of the things Sam had laid on the table. Along with some of the lies Peter had told them because she didn’t tell him the whole truth about her situation. By the end of it Giselle sat back in her chair not knowing how to process anything that had just happened.
“So, what you’re telling me in, you’re college sweetheart came back into your life when you and Peter were having issues you cheated on Peter with this sweetheart. Got pregnant and you miscarried and how does Sam play into this exactly?”
“The last part I’d rather not talk about because it was a traumatic part of Perter and I’s relationship but looking back I’m sorry for doing what I did. I’m not saying it’s right and it wasn’t, but it was a clean break from him. He would’ve just basically stalked me until I took him back or worse.”
Sam and Giselle shared a look of disbelief before turning back to Gamora. Sam took a deep breathe before expressing that he understood why she did what she did to make sure she was safe but at the end of it she caused as huge rift in his life with one of his closest friends. Who just so happened to be his girlfriend at the time.
“I’m happy you were able to tell us this and that you got away from whatever that situation was, but we were your friends you could’ve just told us, and we would’ve helped you get away from him. And are you still in love with your college sweetheart. Have y’all still been seeing each other while we we’re together. Because if you were I’m not mad, if anything this a relief.”
This confused the two women who just stared at Sam in confusion. “What?” He shrugged looking between the two.
“I’m not saying I’m happy to be cheated on, but it helps because I only was with Gamora because I didn’t want to be lonely.”
This caused Giselle to whistle uncomfortably because damn was this meeting going way different than she expected. The three of them finished the conversation pertaining to this whole situation before parting ways.
Getting back into the car Giselle was quiet thinking about all the information she had just in took before she started laughing, her head dropped as she continued to laugh shaking her head. Sam side eyed her while driving wondering what was going through her head.
“This bitch really said one way or another I’mma get what I want and fuck everybody else.”Giselle was truly speechless.
“Like I hate that bitch, trust me I do but I don’t hate her as much as I used to, and I don’t know how to feel about it. Shit, I hate that I don’t hate her as much as I sued to.” Giselle saying this caused Sam to chuckle as he pulled up to her home.
“Did you ever think you don’t hate her as much as you should because you’re a decent human being?”
“Yeah, it did and honestly it fucking sucks.”

SERIES MASTERLIST | MASTERLIST
A few days had passed since the movie night Sam and YN had and they had been spending more time with each other more than ever. But they still hadn’t told the other how they felt, even with all the flirting and with Sam having a feeling that YN felt the same ways. Which was really Ororo and Bucky telling him to get his head out of his behind and talk to her already because they know for a fact she feels the same way. But it didn’t help that Sharon was still trying to set YN up on a blind date.
But besides all of that they two were inseparable, like right now the two of them were cooking dinner together, while listening to music. Sam was currently cutting up a few ingredients while YN basically screamed the lyrics to ‘When Doves Cry’ By Prince while dancing against Sam.
He shook his head chuckling at her antics, loving how carefree she was around him. It was one of his favorite things to see her in her element just being herself, having fun knowing he would do the same. He stopped cutting up the garlic for their pasta dish watching her continue to move around the kitchen getting things together while signing into a wooden spoon. Being the quick thinker that Sam is he decides to take out his phone recording her antics, smiling at how adorable she was being.
It went on as the Candy’ by Cameo came on getting into her grove she did a spin, and when she stopped she saw him recording her. Her face feel as he feel into laughter stopping the recording deciding it was best to run. She chased after him offended that he would do such a thing.
“Sam, get back here!” She screamed turning a corner a little bit too sharp almost falling over.
“Gotta be quicker than that babe!” He teased rounding the couch.
“Fuck you Wilson.”
“Don’t threaten me with a good time baby!” Stopping in her tracks YN pretending to clutch her pearls.
“Boy, like you could handle me. Anyway, are you going over to Bucky and Steve’s for game night tomorrow or not?”
“Yeah, I thought that we could ride together after work? I’d drop you off and pick you up, is that cool?”
YN nodded agreeing making her way into the kitchen to finish cooking. “And I swear Sam f I see that video anywhere but in your phone. I promise you; you’ll have hell to pay.” YN turned around to glare at him.
In return he smirked pulling her into a side hug. “Once, again baby girl don’t threaten me with a good time. You keep this up and you’re gonna have hell to pay.”
YN could feel the heat creep up her neck and bloom into her chest as she thought about the double meaning Sam was talking about. And honestly she wouldn’t mind finding out what he was talking about.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
YN sighed finally happy to be done with work for the day, ready to let loose and chill out with her friends. She made her out of her job taking off her work lanyard looking around for Sam’s car, she smiled seeing him leaning on his car waiting for her. As she made her way over to him her coworker yelled for her to have a good weekend with her man. And before YN could correct her Sam thanked her coworker waving at her while YN continued her way to her car.
“You know everywhere we go; people think we date, and you never correct them.”
“Okay, and why would I. We look good together its that simple, now get in I don’t wanna hear Ro’s mouth about being late.” Sam stated opening the car door for her, she smiled at him as a way to say thank you.
The ride to Bucky and Steve’s condo went by pretty quickly with the two of them talking about how their days went. What they’re plans were for the weekend, and who would most likely get drunk the quickest out of their group of friends. But of course, when they arrive making their way into the condo, the shit talking starts almost immediately.
“Well, if it isn’t our favorite almost couple.” Bucky yelled making his way over to the two giving them hug, YN gave him a tight smile hugging him back before making her way over to Ororo.
The two greeted each other with hugs and start making the drinks for the night’s festivities. “So, I haven’t seen you since last Friday, which is unusual since we almost always have lunch on Wednesdays.”
YN winced knowing she was gonna have to deal with the teasing that would come with telling her why she had missed their weekly lunch. “Well, Sam had swung by my job and brought me lunch, so we ate in my office and just chilled. Sorry, I forgot to tell you.”
A smirk appeared across Ororo’s face, she turned towards YN waiting for her to give more information on how everything had gone. “I mean I’m not mad that you ditched me for you man, I’m just slightly pissed off that your ass still hasn’t told him. It’s obvious he likes your ass, you’re just to fucking stubborn or oblivious to notice it babe.”
YN smacked her lips, rolling her eyes at her friends’ statement. “Sure, he does but that’s beside the point.”
Ororo put her hand up stopping her friend from continuing. “Look, I don’t know why you won’t tell him, but honestly why do you think he wouldn’t like you. I mean you’re literally his type, down to the t. If you don’t believe me, go on the date with the guy Sharon’s trying to hook you up with and just pay attention to how Sam acts. It’ll say everything neither of you are, also he flirts with you like almost every time he opens his mouth. That man is whipped.” Ororo finished giving YN a kiss on the cheek taking the drinks out to the living room where everybody but Sharon was.
YN stood in the kitchen for a moment thinking over everything that was just said to her. She notices Sam had been flirting with her more, but then again she always found an excuse to write it off as him playing but maybe he actually could have feelings for her. And to be honest she was anxious of the idea that he could return feelings for her.
While YN was in the kitchen mulling over her feelings and Sam’s potential feelings Ororo was seated net to Bucky having a conversation concerning their two oblivious friends.
“So, do you think they’ve said anything to one another yet?” He questioned taking a sip of his drink. This question got Bucky a side-eye before Ro took a deep breathe wonder an ‘I fucking wish’ before explaining to him what the dilemma was.
“Not at all, they’re both too busy pondering over what if, to actually open their eyes to see how they act towards each other.”
“For them to be so smart and emotionally intelligent within themselves, they sure as fuck lack it when it comes to other.” Ororo nearly chocked on her drink not really expecting that comeback from bucky. The two looked at each other for a beat before falling into laughter.
Soon, enough YN and Sam walked into the living area together, with Sam arm slung over her shoulder. Bucky and Ro shared a look of annoyance yet interest over how these two just don’t see that their basically a couple already. Deciding to change the conversation the five of them started to talk about a few things that had happened within the week on not seeing each other.
Soon enough Ro was going off about how annoying her coworkers were and how whenever they got into something dumb they wanted her to help them get tout of it. While she was going off about the people at her job, Bucky noticed Sharon and a guy he had never seen before coming into the living room. He got up giving her a hug and telling her what drinks they had in the kitchen to make herself at home.
“Thanks, and I hope its okay that I bought a friend with me this is Travis. And Travis this is Bucky, YN should he somewhere around here I’ll introduce you guys later.” Sharon explained before making her way into the kitchen to get a drink.
Before he can even process who Sharon brought with her Ororo was by his side, grabbing his arm pulling him away from the group a bit.
“That is the guy, Sharon wants to hook YN up with. I knew she said she wanted them to met but bringing him to a friend outing with Sam here. I didn’t think she was that damn bold.”
Bucky’s face turned in disbelief at the last bit of Ororo’s statement, Sharon for sure is that bold. And will always be that bold if she thinks something that might work she’s gonna see to it that it happens. And that’s what worried the two friends.
“You know shit could really go left tonight right? Like what if he tries to get with her tonight or even asks her on a date. Can you imagine how Sam would feel? Or even how YN would accept just because she thinks Sam is just flirting with her playfully.”
“There is nothing playful about he way Sam flirts or looks at her.” Bucky stated, thinking about the different way things could go tonight.
Honestly this whole situation was stressing him out as if it was his own relationship. As the two of them talked for a bit more, Bucky noticed Sharon making her way over to Yn with Travis introducing them. Bucky tapped Ro nodding towards the scene unfolding taking a sip of his beer.
“Yeah, Sam’s gonna have a heart attack.” Bucky snorted agreeing before going back into the living room.
“Alright! Let get game night started, what to play first?” Bucky yelled waiting for this night to be over with.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As the night continued the group had fun playing Cards Against Humanity, Uno, and a few other games. But during the festivities Sam kept a up a good front, to the naked eye but to Bucky, Steve and Ororo they could tell he was fuming and YN was also pissed that Sharon had put her in this situation. One for not telling her that she was bring the guy she wanted to set her up with, and two for doing it when Sam is a round knowing how she feels about him.
She honestly couldn’t wait to go home and relax for the weekend. She loves her friends, but they weren’t any fucking help either. For example, Travis had been sitting next to her for the whole night, just being friendly and chatting her up and when he asked her on a date. Steve decided to give him a few ideas of where she would like to go just to get a better idea of the type of person YN is. Never in her life has she wanted to smack the beard off of his face so much.
Which lead to YN giving him her number telling Travis that she would think about it and that her schedule is pretty busy at the moment. While talking to him she noticed Sam staring at them. Holding his stare for a moment, YN gave him a smile before turning back to talk to Travis.
This whole night was going in ways either of them expected, but all Sam knew is he had to act on his feelings and fast. Which if he would’ve listened to Bucky and Steve none of this would be happening.

SERIES MASTERLIST | MASTERLIST
[Your Name] walked into their apartment ready to forget her troubles at work and just to hang out with her best friend watching movies. They had been planning this night for about a week since they haven’t had much time with each other as of recently. She smiled, setting her keys down on the table taking off her cardigan making her way to her bedroom to change clothes, and ordering the pizzas for tonight’s activities.
[Your Name] was ready to hang out with her best friend because life had just been beating her behind lately. She got passed up for a position at work, which another one of her coworkers who does half of the work she does get. Her love life was non-existent and mentally she was just exhausted. She just wants to be around one of her favorite people and not think of anything else just for one night.
She quickly made her way out of the room going to Sam’s room knocking on the door, having noticed his keys when she walked in. He answers her telling her to come in, she does so ready to ask him what he wants in his pizza when she notices him dressed up. A look of confusion takes over her face as she looks over his outfit.
“You’re a little bit dressed up to be having a movie night with me tonight, wouldn’t you think?” She questioned leaning against his door frame.
“That’s tomorrow night, [ Your Name ] remember we agreed on Saturday. I told you I had a date tonight!” He exclaimed looking for shoes to match his outfit.
[Your Name] looked at Sam surprised knowing they didn’t talk about anything pertaining to what he is telling her now. She hummed in agreement nodding her head at him while she ordered her pizza knowing she would be by herself tonight.
“Yeah, so let’s say you did tell me all of this Sam. How would we be doing this tomorrow night when tomorrow my parents are coming into town and I’m spending the entire day with them?”
“No, they come in next week. I know that because – fuck! I’m so sorry [Your Name], I forgot can we reschedule?” He pleases putting his shoes on, she nodded giving him a small smile before leaving his room making her way to the kitchen.
She quickly made herself a glass of rum punch taking a few sips before making her way to the living room to set up Netflix. [Your Name] scrolled through the streaming service trying to keep her emotions under control until Sam left. She quickly chose the show All America having heard it’s a decent show. [Your Name] sat down her drink grabbing her blanket and tried to get into the show but all she could think about was how Sam had been standing her up a lot recently.
Especially for this new chick, he was seeing, and she didn’t really know how to feel about it. She had felt with him dating before so she can deal with that pain, but one thing he never did was stand her up. He always made time for her no matter who he was seeing, so it felt weird for her to be living so close to someone yet feeling so far away from them.
Sighing she reached for her phone, going to text her best friend Willow to see if she wanted to hang out tonight. Less than two minutes later she found out that Willow had a date with her new man, which caused [Your Name] to throw her head back and groan.
She quickly closed her eyes trying to keep her tears at bay, because she was just tired. All these things hitting her at once she just wants to go away for a little bit to escape. But in the economy, there is no way possible with her salary that she could do that. Which is why tonight was so important to her, she just needed one of her close friends to take her mind off of some things.
Her eyes shot open when she heard Sam’s footsteps coming towards the living room. She continued to look forward pretending to watch the show. She eventually zoned out that she didn’t hear Sam calling her name.
“Hey, again I’m sorry about this. Maybe we can have a movie night Sunday night?”
“Yeah, that’s fine Sam, just let me know what movies you want to watch. And you’re paying for my food and snacks since we had to reschedule.”
He chuckled softly walking over to her giving her a kiss on her cheek. “Alright, I’ll be back later don’t wait up.”
“I never do!” She shouts back as he closes the door.
[Your Name] sat back on the couch with a feeling of uncertainty in her stomach. She was happy for Sam for getting back into the swing of dating after his last relationship was a roller coaster that never stopped. But she couldn’t help but feel a little jealous that whoever the woman was she had Sam’s undivided attention.

SERIES MASTERLIST | MASTERLIST
It had been about two weeks since Sam had stood YN up for a date. The two had barely seen each other with their busy schedules along with Sam making time for the new woman in his life. This made YN purposely avoid wanting to spend time with her group of friends because that was what they would be asking about. And yet, here she was trying to prepare herself for drinks with her group of friends after a long ass week of work.
Getting out of her car she makes her way into the bar, looking around for a familiar face, the first person she locks eyes with Sam. She gives him a quick smile before making her way over to him.
Getting out of her car she makes her way into the bar, looking around for a familiar face, the first person she locks eyes with Sam. She gives him a quick smile before making her way over to him.
“Hey, baby girl. It feels like I haven't seen you in forever.” She let out a quiet sigh followed by a chuckle.
“I know work has been crazy with these new assignments, but how’ve you been? And I hate that we sound like friends who never see each other instead of roommates.”
Sam let out a chuckle taking a quick sip of his drink, nodding agreeing with her previous statement. The two continued to catch up for a bit before Bucky, Ororo and Sharon made their way into the conversation. YN relaxed a little bit knowing she would most likely get through tonight without anybody bringing up she hasn't been in a relationship since her last year in college.
“So, I’m gonna borrow YN for a moment while y’all wait for Steve at the bar. Have fun!” Ororo interjected the current conversation pulling her friend away to a booth on the other side of the bar, with Sharon following not too far behind from them.
Once the girls get to the booth they start talking about a date Ororo had recently gone on and that she actually wanted the girls to meet him and do a triple date type of thing. This caused YN to roll her eyes and take a sip of her tequila sunrise knowing this was the gateway one of them would take into her dating life. Which was either riding her back about her not letting Sam know how she feels or if she wasn't going to say anything why she wasn't trying to get with some else - or according to Ororo to at least get some dick- which she's tried doing, it's just she always ends up comparing them to a certain someone.
And right on queue Sharon starts first. “So, YN been on any dates lately?”
She sighed sitting back looking at her friend in sheer annoyance. “No, I haven't Sharon and why do you want to know?-” she stopped once she saw a smirk on Sharon's face.
“Bitch don't do it. Don't you dare try to set me up on a blind date.” This caused Ororo to choke on her drink before letting out a loud laugh. While Sharon looked surprised by the comment YN had made.
The two joined Ororo in laughing at the situation and continued to joke around about a few things including the last few dates the girls had within the last three months. While the girls were talking, YN noticed Steve had finally appeared, which only meant they would be making their way over to them in a matter of time. And [Your Name] couldn't help but wish this conversation would be dropped before the boys could hear it.
She quickly signaled for Sharon to stop talking about it, but Sharon being Sharon decided to ignore the fact that she wanted it to be over with. “But, like I was saying YN there's this guy that I think you’d be a good match with. He’s funny, charming and he went to Howard.”
“Ohhh, he went to Howard continue.” Ororo spoke up before taking a sip of her drink.
Sharon continued to talk about the man she wanted to set her friend up with -who they later learned is named Travis- and that he was available next Friday is if YN wanted to go out with him. Before she could even reject her friend's offer to set her up with her coworker Ororo interjected.
“Now, we both know she’s about to turn this date down. Only because she’s still pinning after a certain someone without making an effort to tell him how she feels.”
“Tell who how who feels?” Steve asked sitting next to Sharon. YN shot Ororo, a glare that could kill before taking a sip of her drink ignoring the question all together.
As everyone was getting settled into the booth she noticed Bucky smirking at her. She rolled her eyes at him before sitting back trying to not to even think about her love life at the moment.
“So, are we just gonna ignore Steve’s question or is somebody gonna answer him?” Bucky questioned looking between the three women.
YN sat back crossing her arms thinking about the statement previously made. “I'll take, ignore the question for 300, James.”
Ro, Sharon, and Sam chuckled at the joke while Steve took a sip of his beer shaking his head at the antics of his friends. Sharon cleared her thirst trying to get the conversation back on track.
“So, is that a yes? Honestly, I really do think you guys would hit it off. Even if it’s only for you guys to-“ Sharon stopped to wiggle her eyebrows at YN as a suggestion to what she meant.
Bucky laughed catching what she meant looking over at his friend. “Having a bit of a dry spell here, babe?” He teases leaning into the table.
“Fuck off Barnes, and Sharon can we just drop this and talk about it later. I just want us to hang out once without feeling like I’m going to a damn match maker. And don’t even think about being a smart ass Ro, I will politely slap color into your hair.”
“Just think about it, I’ll even show you his picture later.”
“Sharon, I think she’s okay. Just drop it for now and let her enjoy her night.” Sam cut in trying to just move on from the subject not wanting to even think about YN going out with someone else.
Bucky’s eyes grew large at the tone of Sam's voice, while YN turned looking at him confused as to why he was being snappy all of a sudden. And before she or Sharon could even question him his phone went off with a text from his group chat with Steve and Bucky.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sam sighed following a soft chuckle as he closed his phone taking a quick sip of his drink before paying attention to the group once again. After that he noticed that the conversation once again got back on the topic of YN’s love life, and he couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the fact that Sharon wouldn’t let up on setting her up again with one of her coworkers.
Steve noticed his friend's irritability and decided that maybe they should move away from the conversation if Sharon wasn’t going to give up on it.
“Alright since all you girls want to talk about is YN and setting her up, how about we go play some pool and you guys find us when this is all over?” Steve suggested which everyone agrees to.
Sam throws back the rest of his drink before making his way over to the pool table. As Bucky walked past him he patted his shoulder.
“So, are you gonna admit you actually like her or are you gonna continue to act like an ass?” This caused Steve to sigh before slapping Bucky upside his head.
“Ignore the last part of what he said but seriously are you ever gonna make a move? Or are you and what’s her name getting serious?”
“We’ve been on a couple of dates, but I honestly don’t know where it’s going.” Sam responded nonchalantly, setting up the game.
“Mhm.” Bucky looked at him suspiciously knowing Sam was half assing his responses.
“Look, I understand that you have feelings for her and don’t want to act on them for some weird ass reason. Even though it’s painfully obvious that you two are basically in love. But don’t get all pissy when she finds a guy to ditch you with on movie night.” Bucky concludes handing Sam a pool stick.
Sam side eyed his friend as he started the game. ”Y’all are never gonna let me live that one down are y’all?”
“Nah, not anytime soon.” Steve joked.
“But seriously Sam, don’t wait too long you don’t want what’s happening right now to be a regular thing. And it’s all gonna be because you were being stubborn.”
“What the hell do you mean what’s happening right now?” Sam challenges in confusion about what Steve was talking about.
Bucky leaned on the edge of the pool table, chuckling before tapping Sam's shoulder. “I believe he’s talking about that?”
Sam turned around to only see YN talking to some dude at the bar. His eyebrow raised as he watched the two talk, the guys got a little closer talking to YN, and she didn’t seem annoyed by his presence.
He watched the two talk for a few more moments noticing YN pull her phone out of her pocket and handing it to the guy. This caused Sam to roll his eyes scoffing before turning around to take his turn in the game of pool.
“Is someone jealous?” Bucky teased. Sam continues to ignore Bucky, while starting a conversation with Steve about some of the new things that were going on at work.
The three of them continue to play pool while discussing multiple things, having an all-around good time. But in the back of Sam's mind all he could think about was the points Steve and Bucky made. Why was he dragging his feet in telling YN that he had feelings for her? He knew it wasn’t because of the girl he had been dating to because they stopped their arrangement a few days prior.
He was genuinely confused as to how to move forward in this situation. Because whenever he flirted with YN she always blew it off like he was joking with her. And he took that as a sign that she only saw him as her friend. But if what Bucky said was true, then a lot of her attitude problems made sense.

SERIES MASTERLIST | MASTERLIST
YN woke up to the sound of pots and pans in the kitchen, she rolled over groaning at the pounding that was going on in her head. She sat up grabbing her phone from her nightstand looking at the time to see it was almost ten in the morning. Getting out of bed she made her way to her bathroom to brush her teeth and her skin care routine. About ten minutes later and two Tylenols she makes her way into the kitchen to see Sam cooking.
“Well, this is a view I wouldn't mind waking up to more.” She joked making her way past him to grab water out of the fridge.
“You know this could be a regular thing if you'd stop playing.” Sam smirked as he watch a smile spread across her lips.
“Man, whatever.” She mumbled looking away from him.
Sam smiled deciding he would mess with her a little more. “You have fun at the bar last night, baby girl?”
“Uh, yeah I did. I was mostly annoyed because Ororo and Shannon kept trying to get me to talk to guys, Like I came here to hang out with my friends if I wanted to talk to a bunch of men all night, I would have just re-downloaded Tinder.” This comment caused Sam to laugh shaking his head.
“Yeah, you did seem a bit popular last night. It’s like every time I looked at you, you had a different guy chatting you up.”
“Mhm, if I didn’t know any better, I say someone is being a bit overprotective right about now.” YN teased.
“I’m being something, but I don’t think overprotective is the word.” He retorts.
Sam turned towards her fixing their plates and the two continued to chat a bit, catching up not really getting the chance to the night before. The two discussed the new work projects YN had, along with some of the art shed been working on when she had the energy to. Sam listened intently to everything she was saying to him, feeling like he had missed so much in such a short span of time in his best friend’s life. YN felt as if she was talking a bit too much about herself and decided to flip the script and see exactly how well Sam and his new girl were doing.
“So, enough about me, how are you and this mystery girl doing?”
Sam was quite for a moment before letting out a lowly sigh followed by a soft chuckle. “Um, let’s just say I found my interest in somewhere else.” His eyes scanned over YN slowly, before getting up to clean up the kitchen from breakfast.
YN sat in her seat a bit confused as to what he could mean by he found interest in someone else. She at there watching Sam clean up the kitchen, she couldn’t help but think that if he had found interest in someone else why shouldn’t she take up the offer that Sharon made her for the blind date. The worst that could happen is that she ends up not having a second date.
She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn’t even notice Sam had finished cleaning up the kitchen and had been talking to her.
“Hello, earth to YN. You good over there, baby?”
“Yeah, I’m good, sorry for zoning out a bit,” YN leaned forward in her chair looking Sam over before getting up, “So, what do you have planned for today?”
“I was actually just asking you that. You wanna just chill and watch some movies today?
YN smiled at Sam agreeing to the movie day with him, and honestly, she couldn’t think of another way to deal with her hangover. Than to spend the day with her best friend who she also happens to be helplessly in love with watching movies, cuddled together. She smiled just at the thought of being cuddle into Sam chest.
The two moved to the living room going onto Netflix to try and find a decent movie to watch at the moment, Sam eventually find a movie while YN got the blankets out for them to get comfortable with.
YN sat next to Sam, getting situated with her blanket while the movie started. As the movie continued YN couldn’t help but wish that she would have a romance like the one on the screen. She wanted someone who would love her for her, with her flaws and all while helping her grow as a person. A sigh left her lips as cuddled into Sam a bit more keeping her focus on the movie.
“Ya, know I can’t wait to have that feeling of going home to someone who loves you that much. It just seems like it’d be one of the best feelings there is.” Sam nodded agreeing with what she was saying.
And all he could think of what it would be like if the two of them actually dated, how happy he would be to come home and spend his day with her. Having her to himself, also having fun little date nights. Sam snapped out of thoughts to YN laying her head on his chest, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
“You know YN that type of love might be closer than you think.” This caused YN too look up at him confused.
She sighed cuddling into him not trying to think too much into what he had just said. She felt like he was being a bit more flirty than usual and she liked it, but it was also a bit weird for her. She felt like he might be talking about her, but also there could always be someone else in the picture since Sam did mention he had his eye on someone else.
For the rest of the movie, she couldn’t help but zone out thinking about if she should tell Sam about her feelings. Her stomach was tightening the longer she thought about it, bring up different scenarios of how it could go. Sam could possibly love her too and they’d start dating or he couldn’t love her back and she could possibly lose her best friend for a while and if they were to rekindle the friendship it would never be that same again.
During YN’s mental crisis, her phone starting ringing, this caught Sam’s attention. He reached over her picking up the phone seeing it was Ororo. He nudged YN giving her the phone, she smiled at him still trying to get her thoughts together.
YN groans before answering the phone. “And what do I owe this displeasure Ro?”
“Ha, ha very funny bitch. But I was calling to see if you were still alive after the amount of drinks you had last night. And also, to see what you had planned for today.”
This caused YN to feel a sense of regret from answering the call in the first place. “I actually have plans today, I’m hanging out with Sam for the day watching movies.”
“Ooohhh,” Ororo dragged out, “You spending time with ya man today, that should be fun. But since you are spending time with ya man. Are you still gonna go on that date next weekend or no? Because if that’s so we need to go shopping.”
YN laughed at her friend, getting up to go to the kitchen so Sam couldn’t eavesdrop on their conversation because she had a feeling it was gonna go into her love life.
“No, he’s not my man- yet, anyway its obvious he has feelings for you. You’re just too wrapped up in your own head not to notice.” Ororo interjected, knowing her friend was about go into s rant about how he doesn’t have feelings for her.
“And before you even start, if he didn’t have feelings for you, he wouldn’t have snapped at Sharon the way he did. He might not realize it, but he does have feelings for you, so put on your big girl bra and go do something about it. Or so help me god you are going on that blind date.”
YN leaned against the counter not really having a response for everything Ororo had just said to her.
“Oh, and another thing is he still hanging out with that girlfriend he had? Or was Bucky right when he told me he stopped chilling with her because he didn’t feel the same?”
“Alright, bitch you know a little bit too much I’ll call you later. And I’ll think about the date, and I said think not yes.” YN hung up the phone, groaning, annoyed with how this ‘situation’ now involved their whole fucking friend group.
YN quickly made her way back into the living room, sitting beside Sam again ready to start the next movie. But she noticed her was looking at his phone with a look that was mixed with confusion and annoyance.
“Everything good, birdie?” She questioned leaning her head on his shoulder.
“Yeah, everything’s good, Bucky and Steve are just being clowns in the group chat.”
“So, the usual?” The two of the laughed before deciding they would watch The Witcher for the rest of the day.
And as the two of them sat there watching the show, cuddling the only thing they both could think about was what their friends had said to them. To admit their fucking feels to each or shut up about it.
