May I ask for an emergency request for comfort? Idk if you remember but I was 20 mins away from the Highland Park shooting and I'm terrified to be outside... Would it be okay to ask for comfort from Katakuri and Sanji when their s/o is trying to cope with such a tragedy? Thank you, ily

I will do my very best!! I am glad you are safe!! Ily2 bby!!

An event like this was a normalcy for him, something that he was used to everyday. Seeing your worried and scared expression though, let the man know it wasn’t as normal as he thought it was.

Keeping you close in his arms, Katakuri felt his nerves on edge. How do you comfort someone?! Petting your head softly, he went rigid as you wrapped your arms around his large waist.

Sighing mostly to himself, he kept the scarf close to his nose as he spoke softly, rubbing your back. “Don’t worry, nothing is going to happen to you, trust me.”

It didn’t take long for him to hear your breathing slow down and your body go lax in his arms, pulling you close he made sure to keep his word by staying up the whole night, watching the door like a hawk, just as he promised you.

By the time you woke up the shooter was apprehended, the news playing in the background when you looked up at him with a thankful stare. Looking away with an awkward stare, comforting someone was a difficult task.

Sanji completely understands your worries and fears. Though his kind heart is more worried about the people who couldn’t protect themselves from the deranged shooter.

Keeping you close to his side as the two of you sat on the couch together, he wrapped you in a blanket as the news talked about the unknown whereabouts of the shooter.

Seeing your worried look, he brought your face close to his. “Don’t worry, my love, I won’t let anything happen to you.” Giving you a smile, he hoped your worries would be put to rest with his words.

Turning the tv off, he hushed your attempt of asking why, as he snuggled closer to you. Not wanting to hear anymore about the shooting, now it was time to comfort you and that’s what he was going to do!

Kissing your forehead, he held you close as the sirens in the background died down. No one was promised a tomorrow, he knew that better than anyone, and he wasn’t going to waste a day worrying over something he can’t control, for now he will spend his time with you and that’s all that matters.

kacey omggg i searched void state on tiktok and literally the first phrase in 80% of the videos was the ‘the void state is a very hard state to achieve with a long process’ ???

i’m so proud of myself tho, first thing i did was go ‘uh no keep ur limiting beliefs to urself’ and im happy bcs even tho i haven’t entered yet i was able to identify and reject this statement and my first thought was ‘not for me, the void is literally the easiest thing ever for me, i always enter in less than 5 minutes’ like clearly my persistence is working right and i’ll enter soon, right? bcs the 3d has no choice but to conform to my persisted affirmations at SOME POINT?

also i have another question sorryy, ik i don’t have believe my affs & js keep repeating no matter what but basically what happens w me after the second or third day affirming for something that i still haven’t seen in my 3d i sometimes feel like the affirmation looses its meaning/power bcs i’ve repeated it sm and i feel like it’s not doing anything/‘working anymore’? this sounds stupid but even if i feel like this i should still affirm the same thing right?? bcs my subconscious is listening and there is always movement, and it doesn’t matter what i feel towards the affirmations, as long as i keep saying them and persisting it can’t not work right??

sorry for the long message, i don’t usually send asks so id rly appreciate if u answer but i also understand 🥺💗 ily & ur blog sm too

OMG YES BAE THATS WHAT I DID AND I GOT IN FIRST TRY. And yes as long as you persist in the fact your affirmations are true and working those doubts will not have any power over you. Ily2 bby<3 thank you sm for your support. have a lovely day:)

What has been the hardest challenge in writing ur drarry fic? Also ily

god what a good question omg! okay so!!! this fic is a lot of new things for me, which is fun but it’s a little nerve-wracking. it’s my longest one shot and by far my longest drarry fic, like my others have all been ficlets. i’m writing a redemption arc for a character who is undeniably a bad person and that’s new for me! i’m more of a friends to lovers type of writer, so these characters have a lot further to go than my characters usually do. and it’s more a story centering on that redemption arc so it stays in draco’s pov the whole time, which is also unusual for me. usually i alternate which character is the perspective character, especially in longer fics. so it’s been interesting trying to make the story feel complete when we only have draco’s side of things.

i’m finding the actual execution of draco’s redemption to be challenging as well. i don’t want to drag down the narrative with lots of tedious self-abasement, but i also really don’t want to gloss over the fact that he did some evil shit! i’m really not used to finding any sympathy in myself for characters like that. it was the fandom that convinced me (y’all should check out ignatiustrout on ao3 if you wanna know more about that!) i keep asking myself how does harry forgive him and how does the audience forgive him and how does draco forgive himself.

#i wanna keep listing things but #this is getting long #thanks for asking bby ily2 :***#misallokated

Guess who’s back, back again, it’s me. I was wondering if I could get some head cannons or like a blurb with ushijima and or asahi who has a Libero s/o but he doesn’t know it, and like during a practice their teammates wants her to play and so she’s on the opposite team from them and she perfectly receive one of their spikes and everybody freaks out? I think about that a lot. Ily 💞💞💖💖

Ily2💞💞 This was so much fun to write!! It honestly got kinda long lol, thank you for requesting again!!!🥰

Ushijima Wakatoshi

Alright! So basically you had played on the girls’ team back in middle school and your first two years of high school

You were phenomenal, a star player that was rumored to make it pretty big in the volleyball scene

But unfortunately due to an injury, it had put you out of commission for a year— which meant you couldn’t play your third year

With not many options, you had ended up joining the boys’ team as their manager since the girls’ team already had two and you weren’t ready to give up volleyball completely

But there had been an upside, which was Ushijima

You ended up getting close to him and eventually started dating

You never spoke about playing volleyball since the topic was still sore, and Ushijima had always been so focused on his own volleyball career that he had never known about your reputation— he actually never even knew you really played

That was until one day most of the teams starting players had hung back to practice some more and had decided to start a practice match

But being short a player on one side, Goshiki, who had heard you used to play, asked you to join in

With some convincing you accept, figuring one game wouldn’t aggravate your injury too much

The others weren’t completely oblivious to your reputation and thought it’d be cool to see you play

Ushijima was wary but you looked excited to play and because of his soft spot for you, he didn’t put up a fight

The game had started and right off the bat Ushijima was able to attack

Kawanishi and Goshiki went to block him, but Ushijima had a perfect shot

You grinned, seeing as the two did exactly as you asked them they blocked him from doing a cross shot so he’d go for a straight

It was like you appeared out of no where, and the sight of you in the way of his spike made his eyes widen

But you received it

Perfectly

And that was even more shocking

Surprised shouts of “Nice receive!” were thrown your way

Ushijima’s side was so thrown off that your side easily got an attack in and scored a point

But instead of continuing the game right away, everyone turned to you in a surprised kind of awe not believing that you had actually received one of the top ace’s in the nations spikes and returned it easily to the setter

You had to explain to them you used to be a libero, and some of them had known but none of them knew you were that good

And Ushijima’s a little upset that he had never known that about you lolol

But after the match you make sure to indulge him in all the little details of your past junior and high school volleyball career and your injury

And he’s just so impressed with you

And honestly he finds it kinda hot~

And you could bet your ass that as soon as your injury healed, he was making you practice with him

Asahi Azumane

OKAY

So you had been best friends with Nishinoya since junior high

So guess who the one that trained you was lolol

You were on the girls team in Chidoriyama but eventually went to a different high school where you played for their team as well

But since you were still best friends with Noya you always went to his games to support him, which is where you met Asahi

And honestly the topic of you also playing volleyball never really came up, you just thought he knew

So one day you dropped by Karasuno to watch them practice and hang out with Asahi after

And Noya being Noya wanted to show you off because well, he was the one that taught you how to play, so he asked Ukai if you could join after explaining that you played and he figured it wouldn’t hurt to use an extra libero since they only had one

So you joined the side opposite of Noya and Asahi

And omg when he saw you walk onto the court to play his eyes widened in panic

He knew how intense he and the others could be and the last thing he wanted was for you to somehow get hurt

And he didn’t even know why you were being allowed to play but everyone was just so accepting of it and Noya literally wouldn’t shut up about you joining

And he’s just so confused

But the practice match starts and after playing for a bit and seeing that you were able to hold your own, he started relaxing a bit

Which just meant he was starting to get serious about the game

And during one of the attacks, he spiked the ball with as much force as he uses in official matches

And when his eyes land on who he directly aimed it at

The poor bby almost has a heart attack on the spot

But you received it flawlessly

And now Asahi doesn’t know if he should be crying from how scared he was just then or in complete awe over how you managed to receive his spike

That was when Noya started boasting loudly about how you were his talented student and everything started to make sense, and he quickly figured out that you were in fact a volleyball player

Afterwards he was still shook up on how he thought he almost killed his girlfriend that when you were at his place after practice, you had to cover his face in butterfly kisses to calm him down

Annoying | Roman Sionis x Male!Reader

"hi,,,, me again,,,, back,,,, with another request,,,,, 24 and 16,,,, with roman? like reader is talking about their hyper fixation (I don't mind what it is) while roman is trying to work on something and without thinking just snaps about trying to work and that reader needs to stop being so annoying, reader then withdraws into themselves because rsd is a bitchhhh and later roman is trying to act like he never did anything but reader is still :( and when roman asks why and reader is like "you called me annoying" roman just rolls his eyes and is like "you gotta stop taking things so seriously" which just further upsets reader (you can choose how to solve this, and stuff, how forgiveness is given and stuff idk) thanks ily bby" @theamazingspideymerc A/N: I hope this is to your liking. Ily2, my dear!

summary; You talk about your current hyper fixation [Unus Annus, a (now in real time, but not in the fic) deleted YouTube channel], while Roman’s working, so he snaps at you. A small argument ensues, but you forgive and forget quickly.

notes: TW // Small fight/Fighting; RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria) + Abandonment Issues (due to past trauma). Male!Reader; Emotional Hurt/Comfort; Forgive and Forget; Actually communicating after a small fight; Hyper Fixations.

"And like it's gonna end soon and I'm really sad about it, right? But I'm also kinda happy because they'll have time for their own projects again and I can't imagine how stressful it must have been to put out a video every single day. Like, Mark and Ethan and Amy, Evan and all the editors were so busy every single day with it, but it was definitely worth it. And I mean, some of the videos were so fucking high quality and stuff. Most were like really long shit posts, though, and I loved it and I'm gonna miss it, but---"

"Fuck, y/n, could you stop being so fucking annoying for one second? I'm trying to actually get some work done here," Roman interrupted you harshly, piercing you with an angry glare.

Immediately your mouth clamped shut, your eyes filled with tears, your face and ears burned, and you lowered your head, as to not let him see your lower lip wobble.

"I'm sorry," you whispered.

Roman just turned back around and continued working. You were left sitting on the chaise longue, feeling exposed, hurt, guilty and ashamed. Curling in on yourself, you drew your legs up, so your knees were against your chest, as you wrapped your arms around them and lowered your head on them.

You just wanted to disappear.

This was it. It had to be. You annoyed Roman one too many times and now he would break up with you and tell you to fuck off, never wanting to see you again.

You tried very hard not to cry. You didn't want to disturb him any further by being loud while sobbing uncontrollably.

Though with the effort of holding it back, your entire body was quaking. You felt so uncomfortable. You just wanted to go, but you couldn't make yourself get up and go to the bathroom or bedroom, lest you would only annoy Roman by moving around.

A while later - you couldn't pinpoint how long it's been, but your entire body felt stiff and ached - Roman got up from the dining table and moved over to you, sitting down next to you.

"Come out of your shell, baby, hm? I'm done, now. If you like, we can eat then. All this fucking work's made me hungry," he said, tapping your shoulder and then squeezing one of your arms that was wrapped around your legs.

The lump in your throat felt so big, you couldn't make yourself talk, couldn't loosen it. Only a tiny whimper made it past your lips, making you cringe inwardly.

"Baby, come on. What is it, hm?" Roman asked, squeezing you again and then nudging you.

"You called me annoying." It was a hoarse whisper, hardly audible at all.

"Fuck. You've got to stop taking things so seriously all the time."

The grip your hands had on your legs tightened with what he said.

"It's not as easy as you make it out to be, Roman." Your voice broke throughout, it was so raw and hoarse from holding back those tears and not drinking anything for hours.

"Oh, come on. You know I wasn't serious. I was just busy and agitated by what I was working on. It didn't have shit to do with you. 'Kay?"

"That's not what it sounded like to me."

"Well, it's the fucking truth, though." Roman rolled his eyes and sighed.

You finally looked up at him, hurt written all over your face, your eyes shining with unshed tears.

"Look, I'm okay with you telling me that I need to shut it because you're working and I'm sorry that I haven't stopped talking sooner, okay? I just don't realise it sometimes. But you don't need to be such a fucking asshole about it."

Roman clenched his jaw and nodded jerkily.

"'Kay then," he rasped and got up, walking away from you, away from this conversation.

"Fuck," you muttered. "Roman, I'm sorry. Please!" Your voice broke even more as you raised it to still reach his ears, as he was almost in the hallway.

Roman halted and turned around, facing you again. His face was twisted with barely concealed hurt and anger.

"What?" He hissed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think. I'm sorry. Please, come back. Can't we just talk this through? Please?"

He took a deep breath and sighed, his shoulders sagging with it, the anger leaving his face, but the hurt remained. Then he walked back over to you and sat down again.

"Fine. Let's fucking talk then."

"Thank you," you whispered.

He jerked his head in a resemblance of a nod.

"People always shut me up and told me I'm annoying, too much, a nuisance, and so on, when I would talk about my hyper fixations, you know? All my fucking life, everyone would make me feel bad and ashamed for it. Not like I had much control over it. Though I started bottling it up and shutting up, instead writing about it on the internet or whatever. So that I'd stop annoying everyone around me and possibly make them hate me."

You paused, swallowing thickly.

"Yet, surprisingly you listened, even though I know you couldn't give less of a fuck. You don't make me feel bad about this stuff, you just listen and sometimes say something about it or ask questions and it's nice, y'know? 'Cause no one's ever bothered to do that for me before. And now-"

A wry laugh left your lips. Tears welled up again. A lump developed in your throat.

"Now you called me annoying, just like everyone else. And I can't help but fear that you will leave me. That you fucking hate me, that I've been annoying you all this time and now it was just one time too many. Roman, I don't want you to leave me because I keep talking about things you don't care about. I don't want you to hate me because I'm fucking annoying."

You couldn't make eye contact with him throughout the whole speech, looking anywhere but at him, like you always did when you talked.

He inhaled sharply, which made you look at him. Tears shone in his eyes.

"Fuck. I didn't mean to- Fuck! You're not annoying, baby. You're not. I was really just tired and fucking done because of work, is all. Your talking was grating on my ears and making it fucking hard for me to focus. That's why I snapped. I didn't even think of what I was fucking saying. I'm not gonna fucking leave you for talking, baby. I'm not."

An ugly sounding sob finally tore itself from your throat and tears rolled down your eyes, as you lowered your legs after all this time. Roman wrapped his arms around you and pulled you in close, your head resting against his chest. Your tears soaked his expensive cotton shirt, but he didn't seem to care. He rubbed your arms soothingly, as you trembled with the force of your emotions.

"Ssshhh, baby, sh sh sh," Roman shushed you gently, pressing kisses in your hair and nuzzling it. "I'm not leaving you, 'kay?"

"O-Okay," you whimpered in between snivels. "I'm sorry, though. I overreacted. I'm sorry."

"Don't. It's over now, isn't it? It doesn't fucking matter anymore, yeah?"

You nodded against his chest. It didn't matter, not now, not anymore. Perhaps only until the next time he would snap at you again, but until then it would stay in the past.

Kita As Your Boyfriend

He's the sweetest boyfriend you could ever asked!

Be prepared to be showered by his words and the way he make you feels like you're the happiest person alive.

Will always get a good morning and good night texts from him. ALWAYS.

He will pick you from your house only to walk together to school and he will also walk you home before he go to volleyball practice. In the end, you often decide to watch the practice so he won't need to go back and forth and he (also his teammates) really appreciate it.

A big smile will plastered on his face whenever you pack him some lunch. Even though it's only a simple sandwiches or a fried rice, he will appreciate it and feel thankful. he will also lowkey show off to his classmates/teammates.

Kita is a caring person and he show it through every small gestures. Like whenever he walks with you, he will always take the road side, his hands are ready to protect you from falling becauze he knew you can be a klutz sometimes. He also always prepared extra umbrella because he knew you're so forgetful and sometimes you just didn't believe at the weather report.

Whenever both of you busy, he still text you to just asking how you doing. Sometimes he comes to your house only to bring you some comfort food/snacks/drinks whenever you feel stress.

His kind of love is not only delivered through the words "I love you" as you can feel his love through the way he look at you, the way he smiles at you, the way he hold your hands, the way he ask you about your day. You feel loved through every little things he did for you and you hope he can also feel them from you.

He will 100% sure introduce you to his grandma. He will ask you if you want to meet the most amazing person he ever knew and you say yes, so he take you home and there he calling his grandma with a big happy grin never leave his face.

"Granny, are you home?" You could hear Kita calling for his grandma.

"Shin-chan, you come home early." There you saw, a petite old woman with a kind smile approaching both of you from inside the house. "Oh, who's the beautiful lady beside you?" Kita's grandma asked as soon as she saw you.

"Granny, this is Y/N. and Y/N this is my grandma. An amazing person who's I'm talking about." With a proud smile, he introduced both of you and you swear that your heart feel warm.

"Hello Ma'am, I'm Y/N." You said politely as you offer your hands.

"Please call me granny, Y/N-chan. Thanks for taking care of my grandson. Come, come. I'll cook some food for you." Kita's grandma said, her warm hand placed on your shoulder as she guide you inside.

Kita excused himself to change his clothes after you offering yourself to help his granny.

Kita's grandma keep talking about the childhood Kita and she keep thanking you for taking care of him as she said that Kita has been feel much more brighter since he talk about you.

"No wonder Kita grew up to be an amazing person, you're an amazing person yourself, granny." You said which gained a warm smile for the sweet old lady beside you.

That evening, you have dinner with both Kita and his grandma and ever since you meet her, you often went to his house, with or without Kita.

You even always go to watch his matches with his grandma and she really feel grateful to you. She feels happy and grateful as she thought that Kita meet someone who's kind and caring like you.

"Y/N-chan, thank you very much." You could hear Kita's grandma voice after the match which Kita played end. His team won and you really feel proud at your boyfriend, who's also the team captain.

"What for granny?" You asked Kita's grandma.

"For being with him and makes him happy." A sincere smile flashed on Grandma's face, you hugged him as you really feel grateful at her.

"Granny, Kita always maked me feel like I'm the happiest girl alive and it's all thanks to you. Thanks for taking care of him and raised him to be an amazing man." You said as you hug her.

You didn't know that Kita saw all of the. and he run to you after he excused himself from his team.

"Granny, Y/N!" You heard the voice of your boyfriend and he run to both of you before he hug you both.

"Congratulations for winning the match!" You said to him after he broke the hug.

"I won't bother to lose especially when the two people whom I love the most are here and cheer on me." There you saw, the smiles that a radiant of beauty itself, the one which belong to none other than your boyfriend, Kita.

hi i just read your tags on the arm wrestling thing and???? please?? write that???? please i need it i might actually start crying rn but i am hungover so lets blame it on that ily

Hiiii! Before you even sent this ask I was thinking about it hahahahaha, aaaaand I hope this is satisfactory work!

Tagging @thinger-strang because they seemed quite interested as well~

Hope you feel better soon bby, ily2!!! Drink plenty of water!

Hand in hand, elbows firm on the dining table, gazes locked unblinkingly so, they’re connected tightly this late afternoon.

It was a usual Saturday at first - the gang was in the middle of their intense DnD session; a hobby they decided to move to the Harrington mansion because here there’s no parents to interrupt and, frankly, better snacks.

A decision paired well with how Billy has been helping Steve out with his tower of homework once a week for the last half a year or so, and Max is elated because it means she doesn’t need to get a dorky bike when she can just hitch a ride with her step-brother.

Billy and Steve were, metaphorically, elbow deep in English literature, homework on Edgar Allan Poe and the “romantic era” of poetry, which to Billy isn’t exactly something he wants to study so closely with the one guy he can’t ever stop thinking about; can’t ever have.

So when the little brats shouts for them, interrupting whatever Steve was asking about, gesturing with those hands, hair smelling so fucking good of expensive shampoo- what is that? Lavender?

The six of them trot into the dining room, Max looking horribly exasperated, arms crossed and rolling her eyes as Will and Dustin fight about something way too loudly.

“Hey!” Billy shouts but they don’t stop. “Hey!” Louder this time and it visibly shakes poor Will. “What is it?”

“Well, we were on our way to fight this dragon, ordered by lord-” Mike starts explaining but stops promptly as Billy raises his hand up.

“The short version, we’re kinda in the middle of something here.” Billy gestures to the incomprehensible mess of papers and books in front of him and Steve, who looks relieved at the chance of a break.

“So we’re in a tavern” Mike tries again, but-

“This better be quick, Wheeler, or you’ll have to explain to your mom how your bike got bent.”

“Billy,” Max groans with a hard stare, after all, he had agreed to be nice.

Both to her and to Steve.

“We need you guys to arm wrestle!” Mike spits out and looks between the vastly stronger, older guys.

And at that Billy can’t help but grin all crooked with exposed teeth. See that’s something he can get behind; a chance to show off and prove he’s still the King, even if he and Steve have found something akin to friendship after their truce.

“Well why didn’t you just say so,” Billy almost chuckles. He places an arm across the back of Steve’s chair and turns to look at him. “What’d you say, princess?”

Steve looks more than a bit intimidated, eyeing Billy’s arms, chest, grin, and then Dustin and the rest. “What’s at stake?”

“Oh, we’re at this tavern, and Max and Lucas have each bet on these two strong orcs sitting and doing an arm wrestle in the middle of a roaring crowd, and we need you guys to decide who wins! For it to be fair,” Dustin says, shockingly without any interruption from Billy, and smiles oh so wide that Steve even asked.

“Okay, sure,” Steve doesn’t sound very convincing, but he shakes his head and stands up to walk to the other side of the table.

“But it’s not fair!” Max shakes her head. “Billy is clearly going to win, so how do we decide which of the two orcs he is?”

“Thanks for the vote of confidence,” Steve’s voice a slight bit shaky, perhaps because everyone knows he’ll lose, even himself.

Billy just sticks out his tongue at him and rumbles forth a chuckle. Oh he is going to destroy Steve, no doubt about it. He’s been looking at those arms, fought him before even, and while he’s not the worst fighter Billy’s been up against, he’s far from the best.

“How about I say the names and they decide which one they’ll be? That way they don’t know who bet on who, and you guys won’t have a say in it?” Will asks as he settles into the chair next to Steve, ready to judge the show of strength.

“Genius!” Lucas proclaims and sits down on the other side of Steve.

Max simply scoffs and goes to stand next to Billy.

“We have Urzok the Infernal, and Dhakk the Mighty,” Will offers up and looks between Steve and Billy,

“I’ll take Dhakk the Mighty,” Billy drawls out and wags his tongue at Steve, whose Adam’s apple bobs visibly as he swallows hard.

“Guess I’m Ur… Urok?”

“Urzok,” Will says with a far too serious tone, as if it actually matters.

And their hands clasp together atop the sea of notes. Strong, firm, warm, soft. Does Steve use lotion on his hands? Billy teasingly squeezes the other’s hand a bit tighter for a short moment, a little signal of “You’re going down, pretty boy.”

But for some reason that Billy isn’t too keen on exploring, Steve squeezes back, and his heart does a dangerous flip that nearly causes his cocky grin to falter. Does he know what he’s doing to Billy? Is he aware of the stupid effect this causes?

“Are you ready?”

“I’m ready,” Steve says with sudden confidence, as if he fucking knows.

“Yeah, ready.” Billy counts it as a victory that he doesn’t stutter those two simple words.

He’s starting to sweat, actually, and prays that Steve doesn’t notice it - that his hand doesn’t turn clammy and gross. The first time he touches Steve’s hand and he’s going to ruin it by being sweaty and sticky.

“1… 2…”

Somehow it’s the slowest countdown he’s ever listened to.

“3… Go!”

And Billy’s entire arm tenses up immediately. Steve’s pushing against him, grasp tight and desperate, is this all he got? Billy’s not even moving yet, rock steady although he can feel that Steve could probably win with enough determination, the way his arm is starting to go in the wrong direction.

So he pushes back a bit, just enough so that Steve knows, arms going in the right direction this time, further and further in favor of Billy.

The kids are shouting and screaming their names- well, the orc names, but Billy doesn’t really register their words or who’s cheering for who. He’s gazing straight into those eyes where he drowns in honey, staring back beneath a tense brow.

Steve’s smiling somewhat, it’s hard to tell from the way his lips are pulled tight, but Billy has watched Harrington enough to know his expressions.

And as Steve’s arm starts to shake ever so slightly - not visibly so, but felt in their grasp - Billy’s not even halfway through his energy reserve, and honestly he’d hoped for a bit more of a challenge, but…

He eases up, just enough for it to be believable as Steve starts pulling him in the other direction. Even so, Billy is not about to go down easy. Halfway to his loss and he’s still holding strong, Steve’s exhaustion more apparent now yet he smiles lighter, forehead less wrinkled, some gleams in his eyes.

The back of Billy’s hand meets the table softly, and everyone but Max jumps up ecstatically, clapping and shaking Steve by the shoulders as he won.

Steve’s got both his hands in the air now, leaving Billy to feel weirdly lonely, but he won’t dwell on that.

“Yeah!” Steve hollers victoriously, pumping his fists so full of vigor. “And the crowd goes wild!” He cups his mouth like a megaphone and mimics a cheering crowd as best as he can.

Dustin and Lucas jump around him, shouting all sorts of nonsense that isn’t meant to be understood past their excitement, yet Max’s scoff manages to be heard above their celebration, and she stomps back into the living room with El and Mike in tow.

“Change that to Urzok the Champion!” Steve shouts just as elated as the kids and points to Will, who’s almost beaming at the way those three makes a scene.

Unfortunately, Billy hadn’t really given the side effects of victory any thought, and seeing how happy Steve is to have won stirs something in him.

“Harrington! Harrington! Harrington!” Steve, Dustin and Lucas all chant like they’re at a football game, all deep and gruff. “Harrington! Harrington! Harrington!”

There’s a pang of heart and a souring of his gut. Billy knows that he let Steve win. There’s no need to feel threatened or jealous or whatever. Kinda angry, kinda entertained. Kinda sick-ish.

“You really thought you had me there for a moment, huh Billy?” Steve points to where Billy remains seated, smiling but not with full honesty. “Thought you could defeat the King!”

Okay that does it. “Come on pretty boy, one more time, just for fun,” there’s restraint at the edge of his tone, and his smile twitches with something mean. He pats the table and offers up his hand again.

But Steve throws his head back as he laughs in a mocking tone, friendly enough, although far too boastful.

“Nah, I won-” He presses a finger against his chest, then points to Billy. “-And you lost!”

The way Steve smiles so wide actually hurts in a way, and it is shocking how something so small and meaningless can wound Billy’s pride.

“And you can never-” Steve slams both hands onto the table. “-Ever-” He leans in close enough for Billy to feel him breathe out, “-Take that away from me.”

There’s a far too familiar desire to reach out, to touch skin, to meet the source of those words. Billy’s only seconds away from either punching Steve or kissing him, he can’t really tell, but his entire being is ready to act.

Steve doesn’t linger there though, pulls away and lifts up his arms, flexes his biceps and tips his head down to plant a kiss on each, really showing off just how strong he is, boasting about being the victor.

“Guys come on!” Mike shouts from inside the living room, clearly very impatient.

“Yeah yeah we’re coming!” Dustin replies at the same volume and sets off.

“Thanks,” Will speaks low, or maybe it just sounds like it from the way the others assaulted Billy’s eardrums with their shrieking.

And soon enough they’re all alone again.

Billy slumps against his chair, playing with a pencil that will soon break under the tension of his unresolved feelings.

Steve puts his hands on his hips, chest heaving as he tries to calm down again, looking just as flushed and worn out as he does after basket. He huffs a laugh and shakes his head, then returns to his seat right next to Billy, who’s smiling something so sly.

“You… you let me win, didn’t you?” Steve asks all breathless and runs a hand through his hair. His exhaustion comes more from the wild gloating than the actual wrestling they did.

“All I can say is…” Billy leaves a pause that is a clear indication of a yes as he eyes Steve up and down. “Congrats on the win, Urzok the Champion.”
