Luke x Ashley Imagine| Sunset Curve
NEED TO KNOW: Ashley and Luke are best friends and are the two lead singers in Sunset Curve. (Bobby is not included in Sunset Curve this time.) It is 2020 and this time around Luke, Reggie and Alex never die. Ashley is also Alex’s younger sister by a year and they live in the house where Julies lived. They are still 17 so they were born in 2003 with Ashley in 2004. 
It’s been 8 years since we played at the Orpheum and Sunset Curve became huge. Tonight we had just finished our last performance of this tour and we had decided to go to a club and celebrate. 
We walked into the club with our fake ID’s and I instantly ordered a dozen shots for the group. Three each to start off with. Alex and Reggie winced as the alcohol burned their throats. Me and Luke chuckled as we downed our shots easily. “I’m hitting the dance floor” Reggie said and walked off. Luke smiled. “I’m joining him” Luke stated and he too sauntered off into the midst of the crowd. 
“You killed it on the drums tonight, big bro” I said and playfully punched Alex’s shoulder. He grinned. “Your duet with Luke was amazing, when will you admit that you’ve fallen head over heels for him, everyone can see the chemistry when you guys sing” Alex smirked. I narrowed my eyes. “I don’t know what you mean” I replied as I downed another shot. “You know exactly what I mean little sis, you just won’t admit it too me ‘cause I’m your big brother and it’s just weird to talk to your brother about guys” Alex said in a high pitched girly voice. “Weirdo” I mumbled. “You love me” Alex said and elbowed me gently. I broke into smile. “Yeah, yeah, whatever.” 
My conversation with Alex was interrupted when Reggie walked over. “Holy, shit, Luke is way too good at dancing, I couldn’t keep up with him” Reggie complained. I burst into laughter but it was cut short when I caught Luke. He was dancing extremely close to another girl. The girl then started grinding against Luke’s body and tears filled my eyes. “Ashley, what’s wrong?” Reggie and Alex asked at the same time. I took a deep breath and shook my head. “Nothing” I choked out and ran out of the club and onto the street. I didn’t want to see what was going on inside of the club anymore. I called for a Taxi to drive me to the apartment we were staying in. 
**Time Skip**
I unlocked the door to our apartment and walked in, flicking the lights on. The rest of the boys probably wouldn’t be home till like 2am and it was only 11pm. I closed the door behind me and slumped against it, tears pouring out of my eyes. Alex was right, I was crushing on Luke, maybe I had even fallen in love with him and now I was too late. Getting back up on my feet, I went into my room and started quietly singing Always Remember Us This Way from A Star Is Born. Deciding to go to bed, I changed into one of Alex’s shirts and pulled on a pair of sweatpants before climbing into bed and falling into a dreamless sleep. 
**Next Morning**
I woke up with a tiny headache and reached for the glass of water on my bedside table and downed it. Getting out of bed I checked the time and saw it was 10am. I pulled my hair into a messy bun then walked out into the kitchen to grab some food. There was nothing I wanted except for ice cream so I pulled out the tub and grabbed a spoon and dug into it. Moments later my phone started going off and I unlocked it to see heaps of notifications about articles. Confused as heel, I tapped one of the articles and started to read. It was a theory of Luke getting together with someone and there was a photo of Luke and the girl dancing. Sighing, I closed my phone and kept eating the ice cream. “Hey, how you doing, Ashley?” Reggie asked as he came out of his room. I smiled sadly. “Been better, Reg.” Reggie walked over. “Jesus Ashley, you look like shit” he said loudly. He was right though. My eyes were puffy and red with bags underneath them. I was a huge mess. “Yeah, yeah, rub it in, I know” I said sarcastically. “Sorry” he mumbled. “It’s all good Reg” I replied. “Get a spoon and have some of this ice cream, it’s yum as” I told him. 
Half an hour later Alex had joined me and Reggie and now we were all sitting on the couch watching one of the performances from our tour. I still looked like shit as I hadn’t been bothered to have a shower or anything yet. Luke was still in bed anyway. As we kept watching the performance, it had come up to the song that me and Luke had written together for a duet, while Alex and Reg backed it up. I smiled softly at the memory. Me and Luke had almost kissed that night too. As that thought came into my head, my eyes started tearing up. “Maybe, we should turn it off” Alex suggested and turned it off. I wiped the tears from my eyes just as Luke walked out of his room. I gulped as we made eye contact. Luke was also a mess, he had obviously been crying for some reason. His eyes were red and really puffy, his face was really pale and his hair was all over the place. “I’m sorry guys, I whispered and ran into my room and locked it behind me. I needed to get out of here. I pulled on some black jeans, combat boots, a flannel shirt and I tied it at my waist. Washing my face and tying my hair, I realized that this was all I needed. To get dressed and go out. I clipped my chains onto my jeans and clipped my wallet and keys to it too then shoved my phone in my pocket. 
I walked out of my room and out the door, once again glancing at Luke who had taken my seat on the couch and had his head in his hands, I heard a few sniffles and my heart broke. “I screwed everything up” Luke mumbled. Alex looked up and he saw me. Tears filled my eyes again. “I can’t” I mouthed then walked out the door, it closed loudly behind me which made Luke look up and he saw me. As we caught each other’s eye, I could see even more tears well in his eyes and it felt like I could see his heart break. I couldn’t handle it though. Even though we weren’t together it still hurt like hell, but he admitted he was attached to me in a way he couldn’t explain but it was obviously a lie. 
Walking out in the street I saw a sign up. I realized it was a photo of me and Luke at the beach. It had been for a photoshoot of the whole band then it ended up turning into a photo of just me and Luke. I smiled sadly at the memory. I kept walking down the streets and I decided to walk too the beach where the photo was taken. 
I got to the beach and I sat down on the sand. “God Luke, why did I have to fall in love with you” I spoke aloud as a single tear rolled down my cheek. Suddenly, a person sat next to me and I turned to see the person’s face and it was one I could never forget. Luke. “Ashley, I am so, sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I just, it’s just, I don’t even know. I know I told you I was attached to you in a way that I couldn’t explain and it’s true but I don’t know what happened last night. That girl was just there and there’s no excuse for it. I hurt you so badly and I hate myself for it. It hurts me that I hurt the one girl I love. Ashley, I’m super, super sorry, if you can’t forgive me, I understand but I will do anything to make it up too you” Luke rambled on as tear fell from his eyes. Looking at the boy in front of me, I could see the guilt was killing him inside. “Luke, I-I don’t know what to say. I think I forgive you but it hurt what you did. I know we’re not together or anything but you made me feel alive when you told me you were attached to me” I mumbled. Luke slowly reached for my hand and I let him take it. “I am sorry, I know I can’t undo it, but I promise to never hurt you again, ever!” Luke admitted. Smiling softly, I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear then stood up, bring Luke with me. “I forgive you Luke.”
Luke gave me one of his beautiful smiles that I had missed so much. “Did you say you that you love me Luke?” I questioned. Luke looked me dead in the eye. “I love you so much Ashley, I always have but I’ve been too afraid to admit it and I was afraid what Alex would do if he knew I loved it his little sister. But, it was him that told me I should make it up to you and that I would find you here. But to answer your question. I love you so much more than words can explain” Luke admitted. My heart swelled in my chest. “I love you too Luke, so, so much.”
Luke smiled again. Slowly, he pulled me closer to him and put one hand around my waist and one hand was on the side of my face. I closed my eyes as we both slowly leant closer and closer. Within his lips were pressed against mine and my hand had snaked around his shoulders. I leant in more to deepen the kiss and I could feel a smile etch itself onto my face. Luke broke the kiss and looked me in my eyes. “Can I ask you something?” I raised an eyebrow. “Always, you know you can” I told him. “Will you be my girlfriend, officially?” Luke asked. Happy tears filled my eyes. “Yes, Luke, of course” I said happily as I pulled him in for a tight hug. “I’m sorry it took me so long to ask” Luke said sheepishly. I smiled. “I would’ve waited the world for you” I replied. 
Luke brought me in closer to to him and our lips melted together again. “You are my world, Ashley” Luke mumbled.

Day #3 of Promptmas
Chapter 3: Mind if move in closer?
Summary:
Movie night between Ned, Betty, MJ and Peter and a little of Spidey patrolling NYC
Chapter 1: Beautiful what’s your hurry?
Chapter 2: I’ll hold your hands (they’re just like ice) 
Chapter 3
Concept: Caroling & Watching Christmas movies together
Dialogue: “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!” & “I love you but your taste on Christmas music is horrible”
“Peter? Are you listening to me?” Ned told him over the earpiece. Peter was distracted. Thank God he wasn’t swinging, the cold air was hitting his face while he was sitting on a rooftop.
“sorry Ned. I’m just thinking about something”
“and that’s clearly bothering you. What is it? Is Morgan ok?” Peter loved the way his friends bounded with his little sister, they weren’t actually related but the feeling was just the same. And having Ned, Betty and MJ get along with her was pure magic, he felt like he could trust them with big things like the Stark relationship he held with not just Tony but Pepper, Morgan and Happy, even when MJ and Betty didn’t know he is Spider-Man.
“something Pepper said today.  I don’t know what she was talking, well, not what a who”
“a who? Ok, you need to speak clearly, you don’t make any sense, Peter”
"you know Morgan was visiting the apartment, right?" "yeap. What about that?" "well, at some point we were chatting and drinking some hot chocolate and Pepper called, I had the call on speaker and she said something a about "my girlfriend" that she wanted to meet her and should take her to their house for a coffee or a lunch or whatever. But I don't have a girlfriend" "yes, that's a little weird. Did Morgan know about that?" "no! She totally freak out and threat me for keeping secrets from her, then Em told her I was too weird to date someone and that was it" why he was friking out so much about a stupid conversation? He didn't have a girlfriend and he just needed to call Pepper and correct her. That was it "Peter, are you scared that MJ may think you actually have a girlfriend?" Peter sensed the smile on Ned's face without seeing him "what? Of course no. She doesn't have to do anything with this" nop, she wasn't the problem, he was just to anxious to call Pepper and correct her "hum. You sure? I remember you having a massive crush on her back in senior year at high school. Maybe living with her made those feelings show up again" now he was regretting telling Ned about that all those years ago "Ned, that was a long time ago and then, well, you know, Gwen and all of that happened and I don't think I have feelings for MJ or that I want to have a relationship with someone" Gwen was everything he ever dreamed in a girl and his Spider-Man duties messed everything up leaving him with another death on his shoulders alongside Ben's. That's exactly why he tried to protect MJ, she didn't need to be in danger just because she knew his secret identity. Ned never had problems with him being a target for being a FOS, but with Betty, that was other story and the same reason she didn't know either. "I'm just saying Peter. This doesn't have to be about Gwen or even MJ, it's about you totally friking out about something that can be fixed with a call. You need to sleep, all this patrol and the cold are messing with your head. Go get some rest Pete" Ned was right, he needed to sleep and call Pepper to clarify the wrong information. "I'm calling it quits for tonight. It was a slow night after all. Thanks for listening Ned, say hi to Betty for me please" after a short goodbye and a promise for a movie date with Peter and MJ, Ned finished the call and Peter got up from the rooftop. He arrived home at 2am, he was glad they could pay a small apartment with windows on both their rooms and not just one, like others he had visited while looking for a place to move. That made everything easier, MJ never knew when he went out or came back from patrol, and if something was too bad he texted her that he was out early when he probably was recovering in the Avengers facilities. The next day he woke up to MJ humming a pop song, she was in a good mood so probably she already took a tea or a coffee. Peter got 4 full hours of sleep since he arrived from patrol and he considered that a win.
“Mornin’” Peter knew he looked totally wrecked but he felt good, like the Christmas spirit was taking over him.
“Hey, loser. Want some coffee?” Her hair was on a messy bun. All her curls were framing her face, she looked beautiful.
“Yeah. Thanks”
“I was thinking, maybe we could decorate today. Do you have something to do?”
“Aammm, no. I’m free. Jameson haven’t called and I am not offering myself until next Monday, I’m really tired” Ned was right, he needed to rest. Rhino, college, The Bugle… J. J. Jameson and his idea that Spider-Man was a threat but anyway having photos of him on every front page he could, everything was too much right now.
“Have you talked to Ned? He said something about a movie night with Betty the other day when we talked” Yes! The movie night they have agreed last night.
“Yeah. He mentioned something last night. We can decorate the apartment and then invite them for some fun. I think we need it” He knew MJ was stressed too and having Betty and Ned around was a good distraction for everyone.
He took his coffee and then helped MJ doing some scrambled eggs for they breakfast and he went to take a shower. After his shower he changed clothes to some Christmas sweeter that he knew MJ was going to make fun of it. While he was deciding in using his Spider-Man socks or his Christmas tree socks he started playing some carols on his phone. He created a full playlist on his Spotify for this moment.
He went out of his room and found Michelle carrying the boxes with the Christmas decorations. How she managed to hold three boxes at the same time was a mystery. If he didn’t knew he was Spider-Man he could swear that she was Spider-Man, but that was a stupid idea. MJ was strong enough to lift the boxes by herself without superpowers, maybe they weren’t that heavy and he was just making things up.
“Oh, God! Seriously? That one?” Peter knew MJ didn’t like that sweeter. It was a Rudolf one with a big red nose that you pressed and it started playing Christmas carols, May bought it for him two years ago and he loved it.
“I know you secretly love it. Press the nose”
“No!”
“Press the nose. I know you want to” He crossed the living room and got close to her
“No! Stop it” She started to run away from him, sorting boxes while crossing the room
“Press the nose, come on MJ!” he was trying to get to her and they ended up running around the sofa, avoiding the boxes and the coffee table. MJ started laughing when Peter got close to her and tried to grab her arm but she managed to get loose and he ended holding her hand for a few seconds until she kept running away.
“We need to start decorating or Ned and Betty are going to arrive and we haven’t done anything” She was still laughing. Peter loved to make her laugh, it wasn’t an easy task but he loved the challenge.
They spend the morning and past midday decorating a Christmas tree that was basically some fake branches placed like a real Christmas tree, MJ said it reflected her soul. Every Christmas, Peter decorated the branches with bright colors, he hang some toys or pushies and tried to add many colors to it. He said to MJ that it was the perfect representation of the two of them, the black, perfectly placed branches for her and the colorful decorations for him.
MJ placed the stockings on their small fake fireplace along with some holly, then moved to the window and decorated it with led lights and tinsel, she finished the decorations placing the wreath on their front door. Everything looked perfect, now they needed to set their cushions and blankets for their movie night.
Two hours later the apartment looked totally different from the day before. Ned and Betty arrived after MJ and Peter took their lunch. They opened the door and found a very smiley Betty using a pink dress and a huge fluffy coat accompanied with Ned using a Christmas sweeter and jeans.
“Hey Betty!” MJ and Betty always found lots of things to talk about. Betty had managed to make MJ open more about her feelings, her college and even family, Peter was very impressed by Betty and her ability to make MJ talk like her life depended on it. But Ned and Peter were never included in those kinds of conversations.
“Hey Dork” in high school MJ called them losers or dorks, now Peter was the loser and Ned was the dork. MJ and Ned did a little hand shake they made up in high school and she moved back a little so Peter could say hi to their friends while everybody entered the apartment. Ned and Peter did their usual handshake and then Peter kissed Betty’s cheek.
“MJ, the apartment looks amazing” Betty was looking around the living room like she was in the White House and surrounded of the most beautiful Christmas decorations
“It was mostly me so, thank you”
“Hey!! I helped!”
“The tree, right Peter?” Betty knew them too well
“Of course. That masterpiece is my doing” He was very proud of this year results with the decoration of the tree and Ned was looking at it like it was the most beautiful Christmas tree ever
“I love it, Peter” Ned said, always being the supporting friend
“MJ we can make some pizza for the movie night while the boys look for the movies we can watch. Would you like that?” Peter knew that was a key word for “we need to talk without loser and dork listening”
“Yes! I would love to” They moved quickly to the kitchen and started talking right away in whispers.
“That was fast” Ned was looking at Betty with adoring eyes while Peter was looking at MJ moving around the kitchen, totally owning the small space
“Well, we can make the best of our time without them”
“Christmas carols?” they looked at each other on a silent talk they have grown to develop along the years they have meet
Peter showed Ned his playlist full of Christmas carols and they connected a small speaker so they could hear the music through the whole apartment.
“ Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh”
The speaker started to sing and soon both of them started to sing along.
“Hey, jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh”
Ned turned the volume up and stared to sing louder with Peter, making both girls to turn around and look at them. They were singing louder and louder each time the same lines were sung by the speakers on the living room.
“Ned!!!” Peter heard Betty over the loud music and pocked Ned for him to just sing louder
“Ned, Betty is calling you” Peter told Ned close to his ear so he made sure Ned was listening to him. He stopped singing and ran to the kitchen to hug Betty
“I’m here. Do you need anything?” Peter could see how soft Ned was around Betty all the time, it was really nice to see them so happy and comfortable with each other
“Yes. Can you do me a favor? Stop singing, please. I love you but your taste on Christmas music is horrible” Betty was looking at Ned with all the love in the planet but serious enough for Ned to know that she mean it
“Not just that the song is totally awful and the lyric doesn’t make sense but also that you both are terrible singers”
“Aw MJ! But the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!”
“Then can you take some singing lessons for next year?” MJ was teasing him, he wasn’t that bad at singing. He knew it
“Just if you sing with me” He had heard MJ singing and she was really good at it, but she never let anyone hear her singing too loudly, just soft whispers. With that comment MJ turned around and kept doing the base for the pizza. Ned said something to Betty’s ear and then gave her a little peck on the cheek and moved away from her.
Peter could see MJ and Betty chatting while Betty was putting some toppings for the pizza, at the same time she was telling Michelle something and they both looked excited over what they were speaking. Well, as excited as MJ could look over Betty’s news. Her face was mostly expressionless but her eyes were shinning, that was all he needed to know she was interested in whatever they were talking.
“Peter?”
“Mmm?”
“Can you stop looking at MJ with those puppy eyes and pay attention to me?” Ned had a mocking tone
“I’m not making “puppy eyes” at MJ”
“Then I’m getting worried if those eyes are for Betty” Ned was having too much fun mocking him “But seriously, I need to tell you something” Peter turned his head to see Ned’s face and found mixed emotions there
“What is it?”
“I need your help for buying Betty’s Christmas present”
“Yeah, of course. Do you know what to buy or you want me to ask her casually what she wants?”
“I know what I’m buying but I need you to go with me and pick it with me”
“Okaaaay… Can I know what is it? It’s like a big thing? Do we need to hire someone to help us take it to your house?” Peter was confused to say the least
“I’m buying an engagement ring” Ned spoke so fast and so quiet that if it wasn’t for Peter superpowers he had totally missed the phrase
“Ned, that’s amazing!” Peter was really happy for them and totally available to help them to be happy together
“It’s not a surprise, but it is a surprise. We have talked about getting married eventually and we have been dating for a long time and living together is just feels right, so I want to make it official” Peter had a small flashback to a few hours ago, how living with someone felt right. Him trying to catch MJ, making breakfast and shopping with Morgan. Some things felt right, so he totally got what Ned was talking about. Not that he was getting married to MJ but they were close enough to understand the feeling
“Tell me when and where and I will be there. I will be happy to help”
“Thanks! I really want to pick the perfect ring for her” now Ned was making puppy eyes at Betty. It was really cute to see them so in love after such a long time.
“Guys! Pizza is almost done so that movies better be ready” Betty was pointing at them with a spatula as a threat
“They will be ready when you both finish that delicious pizza, honey” Ned moved quickly to the bag were he had brought the movies for them to watch. They picked Love Actually, they all loved the movie and it was perfect for the season.
They girls took the two pizzas they made to the coffee table and some plates. Ned ran to the kitchen and grabbed some mugs and the soda from the fridge. Their sofa wasn’t big enough for the four of them so Peter sat on the floor and helped pouring the soda on the four mugs. MJ closed the curtains and turned off the light. When everything was ready Ned sat with Betty lying on the couch with her head on Ned’s lap. Peter knew MJ wasn’t going to make Betty move to a sitting position for her to sit on the sofa with them, so she sat next to Peter on the floor.
Ned took the remote and stared the movie. Soon enough they finished the homemade pizzas and drank the soda. MJ covered herself with a blanket after half the movie and rested her head on the couch, close to Betty’s knees. Peter could see her trying not to fall asleep, he moved to place his empty mug on the coffee table and placed himself closer to MJ than he was before.
Their arms were pressed against each other and he felt MJ laughing softly to something happening on the movie. He wasn’t paying attention anymore, too focused on the heat radiating from MJ while she was tightly wrapped on her blanket. Was she actually cold? While Peter was divagating, MJ placed her head on Peter shoulder and he froze.
He thanked every God, Lord and Supreme master he was taller than MJ now, just for a few centimeters but that small difference made easier for them to keep the posture without hurting MJ’s neck. He tried not to breath too hard to not bother her or make her move, he also pretended not to hear her heart racing while placing his head over hers  and then slowing down as she felt asleep. The movie was coming to an end and he tried to look at Ned.
Betty was asleep on Ned’s lap and he was playing with her hair. They shared a look and decided to wake the girls up so they could all go to sleep. After they woke up, Betty and Ned decided to go home, it wasn’t late after all. MJ and Peter organized the room and lifted everything from the coffee table and took the plates and mugs to the kitchen. Peter was definitely skipping patrol, he wanted to rest a little now that Rhino had disappeared several days ago. He knew he was coming back any minute and he needed to be ready for that.

"They all agreed that once everything was done, they’d call to say everyone was safe. Martin was using it as a lifeline, waiting to hear Tim’s voice on the other end."
or
Martin's view of the season 3 finale
“Martin? There you are.” It must be Melanie since there were only the two of them left, everyone else was away or in jail at this point. Martin sat at his desk looking through a box of statements trying to piece together what goes with what. It helped him to stay busy, if he stayed busy he didn’t have to think about anything. He didn’t have to think about what Elias had shown him, he didn't have to think about where the rest of the team were and he especially didn’t have to think about the fact that they might not come back. That Tim might not come back. 
“What’s wrong? Are they back?” He knew he was getting ahead of himself but he couldn’t help it. He needed to make sure everyone was safe.
“No, uh, there’s a tape for you. It was on Elias’s desk.” Melanie had been in there cleaning up a bit and also snooping around to see if she could find anything to use against him. She handed Martin the tape and his heart stopped when he read the label.
“It’s… it’s from Tim?” Martin could feel his chest start to tighten. 
“I’ll give you some privacy.” Martin barely acknowledged Melanie leaving the room. He practically ran to Jon’s office to get the cassette player and turned it on.
Martin immediately turned it off. There was no way he was listening to that. He couldn't listen to the love of his life say goodbye, especially not when he was probably still alive and on his way back. He wandered through to the break room and flicked on the kettle, barely noticing Melanie sitting at the table in the middle of the room.
Hey Martin, 
I felt like I needed to say something in case this whole plan went south. I made sure Elias knew so hopefully you won't have to hear this unless I haven’t made it back to you. 
“So, what was all that about?” Martin could tell she was trying to be friendly but they weren’t really that close. He appreciated it anyway. 
“Nothing, yet.”
“Well that sounds ominous as fuck. If you don’t want to talk about it that’s okay.” Martin cracked a tiny smile at the gesture but it felt forced and unnatural. They sat there in silence for a while, staring at the phone in the middle of the table. They all agreed that once everything was done, they’d call to say everyone was safe. Martin was using it as a lifeline, waiting to hear Tim’s voice on the other end. He was snapped out of his daze when Melanie put her hand on his shoulder. It felt like barely any time had passed but it must have been a while because he could see the sun start to set outside. 
“Martin, it’s time to go home.” He looked up at her and all he saw was [pity].
“They said they would call. Melanie, why haven’t they called?” He could feel tears start to prick at his eyes.
“Maybe they just forgot, I mean you know how forgetful Tim and Jon can be.” Her face was pulled into an awkward smile, Martin thinks it was supposed to be comforting.
“Yeah… maybe.” Martin's eyes drifted back to the phone.
“How about I take you home? We can order some takeout and maybe watch a movie to take your mind off things.” Melanie placed her hand on Martin’s shoulder. The pressure was grounding him but he wasn’t entirely sure that was a good thing. He slowly nodded and stood up, feeling his joints protest slightly.
“Okay, good. I’ll go grab our coats and I’ll meet you at the front door.” Martin moved slowly, his mind still sitting at the table. He blinked and he was outside the front door with his coat on, waiting for Melanie to lock up. He blinked again and he was at his front door fumbling to get his keys out of his pocket. 
As soon as they were inside his phone started to ring. Martin almost dropped it while he scrambled to get it out of his coat pocket. 
“Hello? Tim, is that you?” He almost choked on the desperation in his voice. 
“Uh, no. It’s Basira.” 
“Oh, Basira. How is everyone? Are you on your way back?” Martin heard her sigh.
“Martin, I uh...I don’t know how to tell you this.”
“Just spit it out Basira!”
“They’re gone. Daisy, Tim. They’re both gone. I saw the explosion but they were all still inside. I got out before but I was the only one. Jon’s in critical condition. You should come visit, I’m not sure if he’s… You should come.” Martin couldn’t breathe, he couldn’t speak. His mind was going a thousand miles a minute and he could pick out a single thought. “Martin?”
“Thank you, Basira. I hope you’re okay.” He hung up before he got an answer. “You need to leave.”
“Martin, I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave you alone like this-”
“I SAID LEAVE!” Martin could feel his whole body shaking. As soon as he heard his door shut he collapsed onto the couch, sobs racking his body. He lay there, crying himself to sleep. 
The next morning Martin woke up empty. He ached all over and not just from sleeping on his couch. He dragged himself up and decided to go shower, he had work to do after all. He went through his usual routine but it all felt pointless, hollow, like there was something missing. Someone missing. Getting into the archives was the same. The hours he spent there felt like they dragged on for eternity. That was until he got home again and he realised this was so much worse. He couldn’t bear to stay there any longer so he got back in his car and drove to the hospital. Basira had messaged him earlier that day what hospital Jon was admitted to and it wasn’t too far thankfully. 
The silence of the drive was jarring compared to the usual joyful sounds of Tim singing along to the radio and Martin giggling at his dramatics. Martin felt it in his chest, there was something missing and there always would be. He sat by Jon’s bed, just staring at him. There was some awful part of him deep down that wished it was Tim in that bed instead of Jon. He knew that it was bad to think that but he couldn’t help it. He just couldn’t understand why Jon was the only one to survive. 
Martin sat there for a few hours before he packed up and went home. He didn’t dare go into his bedroom. He couldn’t look at his bed, the bed he’d shared with Tim. He could barely sit on the couch, his mind being flooded with the fact that he’ll never sit and watch movies with Tim there again, never cuddle him again, never see him again. But the bedroom was worse. He tried to sleep on his couch but he just couldn’t. He ended up cleaning all night until he was supposed to go into work. 
Martin went through his work day exhausted and hollow again. He stayed out of the way, avoiding conversation as much as he could and pretending he was fine when he couldn’t. This was easy as barely anyone was in the archives. Because they’re all dead or hurt his mind kindly reminded him. He worked well into the night after everyone had left, waiting for his mind to calm a bit so he could sleep in the cot they had in the storage room. Ever since the Jane Prentiss incident they kept the cot there, mostly because Jon had a habit of staying late which would result in someone forcing him to take a nap because he refused to go home. Martin continued this routine of working late, sleeping in the cot, only going home to shower and get fresh clothes.
About a week later he lay there waiting for sleep to overtake him. But something kept playing on his mind. The tape. He hadn’t listened to the tape yet. He knew it was only a matter of time and he missed Tim’s voice. So he got up and grabbed the cassette player and placed the tape he kept in his bag inside. Martin sat and stared at the player, he couldn’t find it in himself to press play. He took a deep breathe in and pressed play.
Hey Martin, 
I felt like I needed to say something in case this whole plan went south. I made sure Elias knew so hopefully you won't have to hear this unless I haven’t made it back to you. 
Tears started to blur Martin's vision. He knew that this was the last time he would hear Tim say.
I really hope you don’t have to listen to this but honestly? I don’t know if there would be a better way to go. Of course, I’d much rather stay here with you but, this thing- it took my brother, it took Sasha from us. I have to make it pay, whatever it takes. 
Martin felt the familiar burning of tears pouring down his cheeks. He wanted to grab Tim. Go back in time and grab him, tell him not to go.
I know these past two years have been hard but I need you to promise me something. Promise me you’ll live a great life without me. I don’t want you to mope around like I did these past couple months, don’t be angry. I know you Martin, and if you go around blaming yourself then you won’t be able to live. You’ve got to get out there Martin! For me. 
Martin felt his chest ache as he tried to quiet his sobs with the sleeve of his jumper. It was one of the extra soft ones Tim had gotten him for christmas. He got Tim to wear them quite a bit so some of them even smelled like him. 
God, this is so ironic isn’t it? I hate these fucking things and yet this is how I might be saying goodbye to you. Alright, I guess this is it my love. I’ll see you in the next life. I love you Martin, don’t forget that.
And with that the tape clicked off. He let his tears flow freely, he was so loud he thought that someone was going to call someone. But it was 2am and he was alone. He pressed the rewind button and pressed play to start it again. He fell asleep to the sounds of Tim.

Not so surprised.
Birthday request for the wonderful @spiderrpcrker - Sorry it took so long darling but I hope you had an amazing birthday❤️❤️
When you awoke, you made a silent promise to yourself to keep your eyes closed - praying that it would force you back into your slumber. Instinctively, your hand stretched across to connect with the form of the sleeping body that should be beside you. Instead, your hand fell flat against the sheets.
You groan and force yourself to turn over, poking open one eye to notice that Harrison's side of the bed was completely empty.
"Haz?" You mumble, yawning into the word as you nuzzle your head into the pillow.
The ensuite light wasn't on so he couldn't be in there.
His side of the bed was still slightly lukewarm - meaning he'd not been gone long.
You groan and check the time on your phone that lay on the bedside table. The screen illuminated far too brightly with a photo of the two of you, embellished with the time reading 2:17.
It is then that you catch the first glimpse of light. It flashes from the lounge for a split second before disappearing. And then it returns. And disappears. Like someone carrying a flashlight.
"Haz?" You raise your volume only slightly in your sleep fueled state.
You were of half a mind to think there was a burglar in the house. Or maybe a kidnapper that had taken Harrison.
Realising your thoughts had already got the better of you, you sit up in bed and keep the sheets tucked against your chest as you fumble to find Harrison's discarded t-shirt from last night's... Events.
You pull it over your exposed form and force yourself out of the bed, running a hand through your hair and stumbling toward the closed bedroom door.
"Harrison are you-" You begin, stopping as you open the door and are met instantly with the flashlight pointing directly at your eyes, "Jesus fuck!" You exclaim, lifting up your hands to block away the light.
"What are you doing up?!" An all too familiar voice hisses through the blinding lumination.
"I could ask you the same thing!" You reply, "Can you please stop blinding me?!"
Harrison fumbles and drops the phone in his hand to get the light away from your eyes, instead shuffling to turn on the lamp.
You rub your eyes and blink away the lasting dots of light, "Baby what are you doing in here at 2am?"
He sighs and you see the silhouette of his shoulders drop, "I wanted to surprise you,"
"By making me think someone was breaking into our home?" You laugh, stumbling forward with certainty that you were about to fall asleep standing up.
He sighs once again, "I wanted to surprise you for your birthday,"
"My birthday?" You raise your brows, unable to stop the little smile that tickled on your lips.
"Well, it's your birthday tomorrow - well, today now - and I wanted to do something to surprise you. But I didn't have the chance at any other time so I thought I'd do it now," He explains, lifting an arm to scratch at the back of his neck. You could just picture the ferocious blush on his cheeks.
"I guess you're right, it is technically my birthday," You chuckle, "But you didn't have to do anything, silly,"
"I just wanted to make it like you said your parents used to do for you when you were at home," Your boyfriend comments.
It is then that you look around at the dark surroundings of the apartment. There are balloons scattered across the couches and banners slung over the armrests - awaiting their moment to be hung up across the walls.
"You didn't have to do this!" You shake your head, stepping forward until you reach him.
He immediately snakes his arms around your waist, "Jus' trying to make your birthday perfect,"
You wrap your arms around his naked torso and let your fingers fiddle with the low hanging waistband of his joggers.
You hum and welcome the moment his lips find yours, tasting like a sweet reminder of your antics only hours before.
"You know, one birthday, I woke up early and I saw my parents setting all of it up. So I stayed up with them and got it all ready. It's only my birthday when all of the banners and balloons are up," You shrug, settling a hand on his toned chest.
"Then I guess you need to help me, princess," He shrugs, "We can't break tradition,"
You raise a brow, "Then what are we waiting for?"
He grins and heads over to the desk illuminated by the only lamp turned on.
Harrison takes out the earphones from his phone and lets the music play into the lounge.
"Jonas Brothers? I didn't realise you were such a fan," You chuckle as 'when you look me in the eyes' starts to play.
He laughs, "I've heard you play them enough. I wanted to jump on the bandwagon,"
You chuckle and start to sing along to the lyrics, swaying your head to the tune.
Instantly, Harrison is back to find you and his hands wrap around your waist as he dips down to your height.
"I can't believe my surprise didn't work," He mumbles into your hair.
"We both know you're the worst person to plan surprises," You comment, looping your arms around his neck, "But I think this is perfect enough,"
"Really?" He pulls away to look at you expectantly.
You hum and kiss him quickly, "Jonas Brothers and you? At 2am in the dark? I couldn't think of anything more romantic,"
"I am pretty good at the romance," He grins, kissing you longingly once again.
You refuse to start any decorating until the song is fully finished - swaying to the lyrics that Harrison sung against your skin.
~~~
Over the next hour, you and Haz set up the apartment to be a full party paradise for your birthday. It is showered in balloons, banners and scatterings of confetti across every counter top that he could find.
"And we're done!" You grin as you press the pin of the final balloon into the ceiling.
Harrison tightens his grip on your thighs as you wobble a little and he bends down to lower you to the ground.
"Finally," He chuckles, standing back up to your height.
"And its still night, back to bed?" You suggest, stifling a yawn.
"Oh, honey," Harrison smirks, "It's your birthday,"
"So I get longer to sleep?" You raise your brows.
"Hmm," He tilts his head, "It's your call,"
He presses his lips to your collarbone as he starts to shower you in his kisses. You hum into the contact and run a hand through his hair.
"Come on," You roll your eyes, dragging his hand toward the bedroom, "Sleep first, celebrations later,"
He laughs and follows you gladly, realising his own fatigue as soon as the two of you climb under the sheets.
Yawning as he shuffles in the bed until he is comfortable and wraps an arm around your torso, Harrison mutters, "Happy Birthday, beautiful,"

Runaway ➳ Min Yoongi X Reader
Chapter Fifteen:
Runaway Masterlist
Pairing: Min Yoongi (Suga) X Reader
Change ➳  Make or become different
“Like I said before. The only mistake I made, was dating you.” I stated plainly, surprising myself at how my whole attitude towards him had changed.
Had this been a few months ago, I would have been a shaking, sobbing mess on the counter I was currently leaning against, with him laughing down the phone instead of being silenced by me.
“Keep being a bitch and I’ll fly over to Korea myself.” He threatened, at which I chuckled.
“You can’t get on a plane drunk. Besides, last, I checked you didn’t have any money. You don’t have much left when you spend it all on drugs.” I said, making him growl in both anger and frustration.
“You’ve gone from being a pussy who flinches at the slightest thing and the only thing you can say are apologies to some strong independent woman who will backchat the man who has the most power over her in such a short period of time, what’s that about?” He asked, the teasing tone of his voice giving me the impression he was smirking to himself.
“Maybe I had a realisation that you don’t control me, and that I don’t need to do everything to please the people around me.” I spat, all my pent-up anger slowly, but surely, coming out.
“Oh, so now you’re sleeping with all those boys?”
“Totally, I fuck them all the time, you got me man.” I replied, sarcasm oozing out of my mouth.
“Wouldn’t surprise me, a whore like you. Desperate gold digger. Nobody would employ your ass, so you have to sleep with people for money.” He chuckled, causing me to cringe.
“Besides, I wouldn’t be sure they like you. You’d be surprised how many Korean people I know; how easy they are to manipulate into doing things for me. So, if I were you, I’d watch my back. Goodnight, Y/N.” He said, before hanging up the phone.
Surprisingly enough, I wasn’t a mess after this call. Instead, I turned towards my cupboard, grabbed a glass to get a drink, and headed to bed.
This was incredibly weird, especially for me.
A good type of weird.
I smiled to myself, placing the glass on the table beside my bed, stripping myself of my clothes to get ready to sleep.
I woke up the following day to the sound of my alarm, alerting me I had two hours until work.
I let out a small sigh, slowly sitting up in my bed and grabbing my phone.
TaeTae: Y/F/N Y/S/N!
TaeTae: Tell your boyfriend to stop punching Jungkook
TaeTae: Oh it’s 2am, makes sense why you’re not replying T~T
TaeTae: Hyung’s coming to kill me now for possibly waking you, if I don’t message you again I’m dead.
TaeTae: Update, I’m alive
Laughing to myself, I place my phone back in its usual spot, before heading to the shower.
“Morning everyone!” The cafes manager smiled, walking into the staffroom, paperwork in hand.
“Morning.” Everyone echoed, returning his smile.
“So, you may or may not know that the café is going to be undergoing some changes real soon, meaning it will be closed for a short period of time. Don’t worry though, you will all still be paid, it will be two weeks at a stretch. Today will be your last full day, so make the most of it!” He grinned, bidding us goodbye as we all headed to begin working for the day.
“Morning, Y/N” My co-worker, Ye-Eun greeted as we passed each other.
“Good morning.” I said, returning her smile as I headed towards the first table of the day.
The day went buy as quick as usual, each customer being sweet and polite.
As I turned around, I spotted someone I had never seen here before behind the counter, leaving me confused.
Was he new?
“Hey!” He waved, noticing me staring, making me blush in embarrassment.
“Hi, sorry do I know you?” I asked, walking towards him with a smile on my face.
“Ah, no I just started. I’m Seojun” He introduce, holding out his hand for me to shake.
“I’m Y/N” I smiled, taking his hand in my own and giving it a small shake.
The bright light of the café reflected from his brown hair, his brown eyes slightly covered by his fringe, but still visible.
His face held a permanent smile from what I had seen, and his dimples could make any girls knees weak, reminding me of Namjoon.
His frame was small, besides his shoulders which were broader than the rest of his body.
“I know, I saw you this morning.” He chuckled, earning a small laugh from me.
A customer nearby caught Seojuns attention, at which he smiled a nodded at the elder.
“That’s my cue, I’ll see you later, Y/N” He grinned, messing up his hair.
“See you.”
“For the last time, no you can’t cook!” was the first thing I heard as I walked into the boys’ dorms, causing me to chuckle.
Typical Jin.
“Hi, Y/N.” I heard Jimin say from the end of the hallway, giving me a small wave which I gladly returned.
“Hey, Jimin” I grinned, taking off my shoes.
“You’ll burn it all again, Namjoon! Or break something!” Jin yelled as Namjoon groaned.
As I walked into the kitchen, the first thing that caught my attention was Jin hitting Namjoon repeatedly with a spatula.
Jungkook was grabbing a packet of crisps from the cupboard as fast as he could, while Hobi watched out for him, making sure Jin was distracted to avoid a lecture, Taehyung was also in on the mission, prepared to distract anyone whenever necessary.
I laughed at the sight, catching the attention of Jin who turned to face Jungkook who now had the packet of crisps in hand, which led to Taehyung leaping forward and wrapping Jin into a tight hug, his hands covering his eyes as Jungkook grabbed the crisps as fast as he could and darted down the hallway, back to his room.
As soon as Jungkook was out of sight, Taehyung pulled away, a bright smile on his lips leaving Jin confused.
“Thanks for cooking, Jin!” He thanked, earning a confused nod from Jin, making Hoseok and I laugh, knowing what just happened.
“Why did Jungkook just run down into his room with a bag of crisps?” Yoongi questioned from the doorway, causing Taehyung and Hobi to groan.
“Hyung!” Tae gasped, pouting as he caught Jins gaze, immediately running off from the kitchen to avoid the lecture from Jin about eating before dinner, leaving Hobi alone to take the lecture himself.
“I don’t understand, did I do something” Yoongi asked, walking towards me and leaning on the counter besides me.
“Jungkook, Hobi and Taehyung were trying to steal a bag of crisps.” I explained nodding towards Hobi who was currently being scolded by Jin, as Namjoon sneakily took the spatula from the counter, walking towards the pan and poking the food inside of it, earning a loud hiss capturing Jins attention as he let out a shriek.
“I was trying to work on some music, but then I heard all this noise and couldn’t concentrate.” Yoongi sighed, thinking for a moment.
“I’m gonna go to the studio, you coming?” He asked, heading towards the door and grabbing his shoes.
“Sure” I shrugged, following him and grabbing my own shoes.
“You have a big studio.” Was the first thing to leave my mouth as we entered.
“All the studios I’ve worked in have been really small.” I said, watching as Yoongi immediately sat down in the chair, grabbing my elbows and pulling me to sit between his legs.
“You’ve worked in studios?” He asked, turning to the computer in front of him.
“Yeah, like I said, I used to write music before I had to give it up.” I shrugged, recalling the last conversation I had about music back at home.
“You either stop or your sister gets it. You’re not good enough to write music, so why bother?”
“Why’d you stop?”
“I was forced, some people didn’t agree with it, said I wasn’t good enough” I said surprisingly casually, leaving him confused.
“Forced?”
“Threatened, I guess. It’s a long story and you’re working” I smiled, nodding towards the computer that had a professional program open.
“Do you have any of your lyrics on your phone? Or a website? We could work on something, because my brain is completely fried” He sighed, as I nodded.
“Uh, yeah. The song lost I told you about is drafted on my drive.” I nodded, at which he smiled and leant over me, his hands either side of me and typed in the site for me to log on and get the lyrics for him to read over.
“You said you finished this the other day, right?” He asked after reading over it a few times.
“Yeah, a few weeks ago.” I blushed, wondering if he had figured out ‘found my way’ was about meeting him and the rest of Bangtan.
He definitely did, the smirk on his face proved it.
“Have you got a melody, tune yet?” He asked, at which I shook my head.
“Not yet, I haven’t had much time since I finished it.” I shrugged, making him nod and pat my thigh signalling me to jump up.
“Let’s go.” He said, nodding towards the keyboard at the other side of the room.
A few hours later Yoongi and I had finished the entire song, which seemed like something Bangtan would sing.
Well, it would make since considering one of the members helped make it.
“We make a good team.” Yoongi complimented, listening to the melody we had composed in such a brief period of time.
“See, impressive.” He said, causing me to blush.
I had never worked so well with someone before.
Even though I had worked with nearly 100 composers, I had never experienced something like this.
“You’re really good, whoever says otherwise is really fucking wrong.” He continued, making the blush on my cheeks darken even more.
“I know right” I joked, dramatically swinging my hair over my shoulder, at which he smiled.
“You’re such a meme, no wonder you and Jungkook get along” He smiled, walking towards me confusing me.
We stood in silence for a moment, before Yoongi’s lips pressed against my own, hands placed on my waist as my own made their way around his neck.
Suddenly, a loud noise of disgust came from the studio door, making us pull away.
Stood in the doorway was, surprise, Taehyung and Jungkook.
“Why does this always happen?” Taehyung complained, walking into the studio.
“Honestly hyung, if you’re going to do the dirty with her in your studio, at least take her out to dinner first. Jeez.” Jungkook joked, smirking until Yoongi hit him over the head.
“Shut up” Yoongi said, as Jungkook gently rubbed where he had been hit.
“What are you even doing here?” Yoongi asked, looking towards Taehyung, who was now sat on Yoongi’s chair.
“Jin-hyung told us to bring you food, because you usually stay here for hours without eating.” Taehyung explained, holding up the bag he had, had in his hands since he arrived.
“We got lamb skewers, we got some for us too. Basically, we’re crashing your studio” Jungkook said, giving us, an innocent smile and he sat down, taking some food from Taehyung.
“So, did you start a new song, hyung?” Jungkook asked, finishing off his lamb skewer.
“Well, we started and finished one, it turned out great.” Yoongi nodded, looking towards me, a small smile on his lips.
Taehyung and Jungkook shared a look for a moment, before looking between Yoongi and I leaving us confused.
“Hyung, you rarely let anyone in your studio.” Jungkook smirked, proud of himself for some unknown reason.
“So, when are you getting married?” Taehyung laughed, earning a glare from Yoongi as he threw a piece of meat at him, hitting him in the forehead, as we all chuckled.
“Hyung’s blushing!” Jungkook laughed, pointing at Yoongi’s cheeks that were tinted a light red, almost unnoticeable.
“Are you guys coming back to the dorm now? It’s getting late.” Taehyung asked, yawning as he looked at the time.
“I should be getting home, I have things to do.” I shrugged, stretching as I stood up.
“I’ll walk you, it’s dark.” Yoongi said, grabbing a mask from his desk before walking towards the three of us as Taehyung and Jungkook snickered, whispering to each other about Yoongi turning soft.
The four of us left the studio and out into the streets, as the cars flew down the road, obviously way over the speed limit, something that isn’t uncommon in Seoul. We walked in a comfortable silence for a while, until we reached the dorms.
“We’ll see you later” The youngers said, smiling as they walked back towards the dorm.
Once they were inside, Yoongi and I set off back towards my apartment, side by side.
“You don’t have to walk me, you know? I’m a big girl” I laughed, as he shook his head.
“Don’t want you getting kidnapped now, do I?” He smiled, his hand gently brushing mine.
Hesitantly, he looked around for a moment, before taking my hand in his, giving it a slight squeeze, standing closer to me making my cheeks light up a bright red. We remained in a comforting silence for most of the walk, the only noise coming from cars passing by, as we walked hand in hand down the street.
“I’ll see you later, right?” Yoongi asked, as we stood outside of my apartment.
“Of course, where else would I go?” I smiled, looking down at the ground for a second, still not used to being treated so sweetly.
Yoongi gave me a small smile, his mask now pulled down, hanging down his neck.
His lips pressed against mine, our hands still intertwined while his spare hand was pressed against my blushing cheeks.
“Goodnight, I’ll see you later.” He smiled, pulling his mask back up his face, watching me walk into the building before walking away.

BTS reaction to you being really wet
Tumblr media
Namjoon
You entered his studio to check on him and bring him something to eat. He has been there all day and you just returned home. You knocked on the door and opened it. He was in front of the computer  and you saw he was trying to write some new lyrics.
Y/n: ”Hey. I brought you some food.”
Nj: “Leave it on the table, thank you” he said still concentrated on his work
You we’re worried about him so you went to him and sat on his lap facing him. He lifted his face to look at you and smiled at your attempt of him paying attention to you and then you leant in for a kiss.
Y/n: “Take a break. You are working non-stop for more than a week.”
Nj: ”Maybe you are right.” He said and kissed you again one hand on your back and one going from your inner thigh to your place. Through the kiss he unzipped your pants and started to rub you through your panties. He opens his eyes and looks at you surprised “Oh my god Y/n… I can feel you so bad through them” Gets up and holds you bridal style “Work can really wait, I do need a break”. He lays you down on the couch and gets you undressed faster than you could even blink.
Tumblr media
Hoseok
Immediately after performing Cypher pt.  4,  you we’re wooing and clapping, smiling proud at him. He got off stage sweat dripping off his hair and came right at you to hug you and toss  you  around picking your feet up the ground at the same time
Y/n: “You we’re amazing!”
H: “Thank you, jagyia. I’m so happy that you are here to see me.” he said smiling you still in his arms
He put your feet back to the ground and leant in for a kiss. He looked around a bit and went with his hand  down to cup your core. You flinched at his touch unexpectedly. He squeezed it gently and looked in your eyes right before you starting to complain that someone may see you.
H: “Can’t wait to have a private show soon”, he then slipped his hand inside your panties barely going with his fingers towards your entrance, his eyes  looked in surprise hungrily at you. “Well, well…look who enjoyed the performance. I think we need to solve something on this break.” He said and slipped one finger inside smiling cockily ”Changing room. Now.”
Tumblr media
Jin
You were in the kitchen cooking something  as a surprise before he woke up because he was the one that usually made breakfast for you. That until a sleepy Jin appeared right behind you and hugged you.
Jin: “Good morning, Y/n.”
Y/n: “Oh my” you said after you let out that little scream and the pan you wanted to put on the stove slipped on the counter. “You scared me.”
Jin: ”You deserve that when you want to take my place here in the morning. You know I love to make you breakfast” he says still hugging you
Y/n: “I wanted to surprise you” you said and relaxed in his arms
Jin: “I know you haven’t finished but I really want to reward you now. ” he says one hand going down and lifted up your silk dress as one of his hands went for your core and the other to your hip bone  to press you to him. He started to rub you easily as you snatched your head back from the feeling. “Someone is really horny this morning.” You opened your eyes and blushed but before you could say something he whispered in your ear “We can both cook… after I use the counter to put you on it.”
Tumblr media
Jimin
It was 3 am and you were in the dancing studio watching him repeat a new contemporary dance for the next show. He repeated it so much that he started to forget some moves. He stopped and laid flat on his back on the ground trying to catch his breath. You crawled next to him and sat on your knees watching over him, his eyes were closed
Y/n: “Jimin, let’s do the dance we made together. It gets you relaxed.”
J: “How do you always know what I want” he says and opens his eyes smiling at you.
You help him get up and give him your hand. You started to dance, a contemporary dance you two made for fun that always made the two of you happy. And the last move is the one when you are on the ground on your back and he body rolls over you. He then leaned in and started kissing you. You smiled and stoped him
Y/n: “That’s not part of the dance.”
J: “I don’t care.” He continues to kiss you and goes with his hand down inside your leggings directly to your clit only to have a pleasant surprise because you were more than ready. “I think my practice today has ended” he says biting his lip looking at you , the last things that could be heard from the studio were your moans instead of dancing steps.
Tumblr media
Yoongi
You slowly opened your eyes from your sleep and could hear in distance the claps of the piano making a beautiful sound to your ears. You saw that it was 2am so you got out of bed to go down to the living room. You were slowly walking to him and you put your hands on his shoulders from behind
Y/n: “Baby when did you get out of bed.”
Y: “Somewhere around  1 am.”
You leaned in to kiss the side of his neck from behind then you sat next to him as you listened to what he did new.
Y/n: “Your inspiration at this hour sounds amazing but you should get some sleep too” you said putting your hand over his
He turned and looked at you lovingly his eyes sleepy.
Y: “You are right, Y/n.” he took your hand as he made you get up and walk in front of him your back at the piano. He put his hands on your thighs as he traced ways up and down on your sides. You were only wearing a black shirt of his. He went with one hand and traced the line up with one finger to your side then it slowly went between your legs slowly brushing from your clit to your entrance staying there “Just before sleep I may have more inspiration” and he slipped one finger in and you haven’t even got up to bed as he chose to lay you on the piano.
Tumblr media
Taehyung
You just arrived home after his rehearsal for the concert. You stayed all day listening to his beautiful deep voice singing and repeating the new lyrics. As you entered your room he was still humming from behind you making you smile at how calm he could get you.
Y/n: “I’m going to take a shower.  Can you order something to eat?”
He stopped humming for a second only to look at you moving his head in approval.  Just when you wanted to turn around and go to the bathroom he reached for your hand making you spin around facing him almost hitting his chest. He put one hand on your cheek and brought your face closer for a kiss.
Y/n: “Please order … the food” you said between the kiss
Tae: “That can wait.” He said and buried his face in your neck humming again. His voice made you shiver as one of his hands went to your jeans to unbuttoned it. Before you could even say anything his hand slipped inside your panties directly as he went to rub you gently. Taken a bit aback he stopped with his hand still down in your pants looking surprised. “Look who gets affected by my voice again.” He said proudly
You looked down a bit shyly at his true remark. “Oh shut up.” You said trying to defend yourself
He got his hand out and then swiped you off your feet bridal style smiling.
Tae: “You were taking a shower right?” he said and leant in to kiss you while walking towards the bathroom
Tumblr media
Jungkook
You were in your room and staying on your knees trying to make the Xbox work when Jungkook entered the room to a pleasant view.
Jk: “You said you wanted to play but I didn’t tought you were reffering  to this kind of play.”
You scoffed at his remark and turned around to look at him.
Y/n: “I was just trying to plug the console to the tv. I do want to play.”
Jk: ”Fine. Let’s say I believe you” he said and chuckled at your remark
You started to play and you were getting really happy about the fact you were winning so much and Jungkook stared at you smiling without you even knowing that he was letting you because he knew it made you happy.
Y/n: “Haha I won again! I’m so good at this game.” You cheered yourself happily throwing punches in the air staying on your knees
He put his hands on your hip bones and dragged you down with your butt right on him making you leave out a breath in surprise. That didn’t last long and he soon made you turn around to face him and lay right on him
Jk: “Someone is really good at what she is doing.” he said both of his hands on your thighs his thumbs going for your inner part as you were wearing a skirt. He slowly went with his hand on your leg and his thumb went right under your panties. He brushed his thumb from your clit to your entrance and left out a playful gasp looking up at you surprised “And this someone gets hot when she wins at the game.” You blushed a little and he soon put the fabric to the side so he can further have fully space after he unzipped his jeans and slammed his lips onto yours.

I could make this post about my entire 1,5 week trip through the UK, but I’m sure y’all only want to hear about the last day in Liverpool ;).
Quick recap of where I’ve been and what I’ve seen though; Telford (met Jeremy Jordan, David Harewood, Brit Morgan, Rahul Kohli and more), London (met Mehcad Brooks, Stephen Amell and much more), went to the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Ripley’s, Wembley, Bath, Stonehenge, Windsor castle, Big Ben, Leicester square, Piccadilly and spend a lot of time in the Underground. Also saw the new Alien film AND Beauty and the Beast.
Anyway, that’s not what y’all wanna hear. Here’s my recap of May 29th;
I woke up in London after 2 days of HVFF. Went downstairs for my lovely UK brekkie (HASH BROWNS!) and then jumped in the shower and off I went. To Euston station to catch a train to Liverpool. Apparently, it was the first train to go straight to Liverpool from London that day, earlier ones were cancelled. Thank God I’d splurged on a first class ticket. I heard people had been standing the entire trip (2 hours!). Anyway, the train ride is beautiful. Would have been better if it hadn’t been raining, lol. 
Got to Liverpool a bit delayed due to a signal failure (uh-huh..) and the taxi stand at Liverpool Lime Street is insane. So many folks needed one. BUT I got to my hotel for around 4, thankfully. Since I was around the corner from the venue, I saw the Cavern already when the taxi dropped me off. Queue the nerves. The hotel was beautiful too. Beatles song playing as you walked in, lol. 
I hadn’t eaten since 9 am that morning so I Googled mapped the area and saw that there was a Gregg’s nearby. Perfect, sausage roll it is. I was there half an hour before closing time, but apparently they don’t care in Liverpool, because the door was locked. Oh well, a bag of crisps and an apple it is. Met up with @amyroot near the venue and we walked around a bit, the area is pretty cool!
Anyway we waited outside like we thought we had to when we were informed that the line had already started inside. We rushed downstairs and joined the queue. This was at 6pmish. 
The earlier concert started at 4pm and our gig was supposed to start at 8pm, but they were still doing M&Gs so everything ran a little late. No problem, everyone should get to do their M&G but my damn legs were killing me, lol. 
Pleasantly surprised there was some seating in the venue when we finally got in. Not near the front, but it’s OK, we could sit. I’ll upload some actual videos from the concert so I won’t talk about that, but them singing “Imagine” and then bringing Anni on stage were awesome.
Before the M&Gs started, they had an auction for St. Vincent’s school, all DC stuff. I have to admit that the two guys doing the auction were hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. They auctioned some stuff in the venue and said the rest would go online (haven’t seen it yet anywhere?)
Onto our M&Gs. I have no idea how many people were there but it seemed like a never ending line, lol. I think they started around 10/11ishpm with the first people. I think they first said you would get a photo, 1 minute to talk and 2 things to sign, but of course all of that went out the window pretty soon. They managed to have a pretty good system. First person you saw was Nathan (who gives amazing hugs), Gemma or Angelo would take your photo with Nathan, then when the person in front of you had finished talking with Chyler, you’d move onto her and get hugs, photos and autographs, etc. Pretty good system.
Nathan ended up walking/running around the hall and thanking people in line for their patience as it was taking soooo long. Folks who had to catch a bus/train/whatever were pushed to the front, that was a good idea. 
I was eating tic tacs by that time (it was nearing 1am and we were still in line) because I hadn’t had dinner, but they hadn’t either. Nathan was having a discussion with someone in line, leaning over the barrier when Chyler tried to get his attention for something. He was too focused on whoever he was talking to though, so he didn’t hear Chyler calling for him. Her calls for “babe. love. honey. love of my life.” were completely ignored until the guy (Neil?) from the Canvern lovingly shouted “Nathan darling!” very loudly, lol. THAT’s when he turned around. 
Around 2am we were finally at the front of the line. The security who ticked your name off of the VIP list was hilarious, too. All the staff were. Pronouncing my name for him the way it’s supposed to be didn’t help the poor guy. To be fair, I couldn’t understand him either. Damn accent, lol. 
Aaaaanyway, it was finally our turn and Nathan straight off the bat asked about my necklace and we proceeded to geek out for several minutes over PS4 games. We apparently took so long I looked passed him to see Chyler on her own, the person in front of me already left. Oops. I hugged Nathan (and in my haste forgot to take a photo with him) and rushed over to Chyler. Now. As I’m sure you can imagine, I cannot explain or descibe how that was. To see Chyler up close, giving her a hug, talking to her. No words. She asked what I was talking to Nathan about as we both looked so passionate about the subject, lol. She’s absolutely amazing. Gave her a massive bag of gummi bears and she loved it, lol. I printed off a photo from the I love you scene which she signed with “I <3 you” which... asdfghjkl. We chatted for a bit (fun fact; the dibs gun is NOT the gun her son drew, which she talked about at SDCC I think?) and I thanked her for coming over and doing these things, and she thanked ME for coming over. Can you believe that? Like, duh. Nathan was off to bathroom at that point so I moved to the side to give Amy some time with Chyler while I waited to Nathan to come back to get a double photo (him and Chyler) which we then did in turns. It was great.
We walked off to the side to collect everything and put photos etc. away when I realised I hadn’t had my photo with Nathan. I didn’t want to interrupt their whole thing they had going so we waiting until the very last person had gone (4 am people!) for us to go back and get the last photos. Nathan was very happy to oblige and we even snagged another one with Chyler as the lighting was pretty awful where we first were. I had to pull poor Chyler away from her McNuggets, that was probably the first food she’d seen since 3pm, lol. 
Managed to actually say what I wanted to say to Chyler at that time (I was so nervous before) and thanked her for everything she’s doing for us as a community and even though we have Twitter it’s impossible for her to see every reaction so I wanted to personally say we all appreciate how she fights for us. 
We got caught talking a bit to the people from Charity Pulse and St. Vincent’s too, lovely people. Ended up nearly cleaning out the venue as we were the last people there (those big boxes aren’t even that heavy). Nathan AGAIN thanked us for coming said we were ‘amazing’ and then we finally walked out of there.
It was 5am when I finally calmed down enough to goto sleep and I looked out my window and it was daylight already. 
When I woke up, everything hurt from so little sleep, of course. Went downstairs for my last day of UK brekkie (HASH BROWNS!). I walked over to the corner of the room as I didn’t want to take up a 4 person table by myself but I was shoo’d away to another side of the room as they’d already made up these tables for lunch. Well, okay, whatever. I plopped down at a 4 person table and as I look up I see Nathan and their 3 kids also enjoying a UK brekkie, they were staying at the same hotel as me, lol. 
As they left he recognized me and said hi and we wished eachother a good day and that was that. Spent some time shopping and then went to the airport (The driver was an Everton supporter, which isn’t good for me as a Liverpool supporter) and went home.
I’m a little flu-y now but I’m enjoying going through the videos and photos. It was an amazing day and they were very positive about doing a gig in Amsterdam so I hope to see them again very soon.

And we had a amazing time. I (m25) matched with someone (f28) on Tinder six days ago and really hit it off over texting. I get a decent amount of matches but often feel exasperated that no one seems to want a real, deep conversation.We moved to WhatsApp pretty quickly because the length of our messages were starting to break the app. On Boxing day we had a real deep conversation about what we liked out of intimacy and sex and were on exactly the same page. We are both six months out of serious relationships and are happy, confident people but want that sense of attention, depth and connection you can only have with an intimate partner. That its as much about the emotional and mental feeling as it is physical. We text about it until 2am and it really turned both of us on. We agreed to meet the following evening and so began my longest ever first date.Her photos on tinder were visibly badly taken but when she turned up, Holy God. (She later told me the bad photos were deliberate so she didn't catch guys just after her looks) Greek goddess. Deep brown eyes, expressive, engaged body language. Yes please. We had a few drinks and talked, a red flag however is she was still getting text messages from her ex.An important disclaimer here; her ex has borderline personality disorder and serious depression. I.e. Still messages her saying if you don't talk to me ill cut myself, etc. Heavy shit. Her business, not mine. I'm a trainee mental health counsellor so I accept we all have baggage and we had talked at length about our mental health too. So I was cool with it, she is visibly "over" him but understandably still quite fragile. She said outright she found me attractive because I'm very stable and mentally tough. So yes getting fucked up messages from your crazy ex on a first date (and her reading the messages) is weird and a red flag, but I decided I was OK with it. She showed me some of the messages and asked me for. Y professional perspective, and we had a really good conversation about psychology. Again, her deal, not mine and nobody needs to decide if you want a serious relationship after one date.Back on topic. We go to the second bar. Far less awkward. She gets the message and her phones goes away and stays away. It's a metal bar and I discover that she loves that mind if music and we're singing all the lyrics to Metallica. We start to really flirt, innocent touches etc. I decide I want to kiss her. Bar closes. We go outside, she asks where my place is. I knew from our texts that going home with her on a first date was a possibility but I hadn't had time to clean my apartment. I kind of suggested she get an uber home but she gave me "the look" and I kissed her. Fuck it, life is short, I'm six months out of a serious relationship and I just want to be intimate with someone. I feel comfortable with her. Neither of us are drunk. We go to my place and I make her wait outside whilst I blitz my flat for two minutes. She is friends with someone I work with so I had been "verified" as not a serial killer, she said otherwise she wouldn't have gone home with me first time.We had both said we like sex slow and intimate. So it was probably about 4am until any clothes came off, but a LOT of making out and cuddling in my bed. I lit some candles, brought in my vinyl player and we made out to Pink Floyd, because all romance is made better by a David Gilmour guitar solo. In between, we talked about anything and everything. Just a feel good connection. We started to get naked and just helped each other relaxed. At 5:30am we decided to sleep for a bit, woke up sometime the next day, more making out, I went out quickly to get coffee and food for us. Felt great coming back to a beautiful Greek woman naked in my bed. I've been missing intimacy a lot. It just felt good. Lots of laughter.We decided to take a shower together and only then things get really sexual. She touched me and I made it clear I wanted her. After the shower I went down on her. As a woman she is quite complex and needs to be made to feel really relaxed and comfortable, but is also very sensitive, so I made an effort to try and learn what she needs. She felt great. We had talked the whole time about having sex but also that we both might not feel ready etc. There was no pressure or expectation. Just two human beings giving each other attention.By late last night we were still in bed together. She had put a lot of effort into making me feel good, went down on me (I know I shouldn't compare but oh my god, SO much better than my ex).At one point I went down k and her and she signed that she wanted me to make love to her, and but because I was being cautious about what she might not be ready for I didn't pick up on the signal. She said she wanted a guy to take the lead because she had been fed up of her doing everything with her ex, but admitted she was bad at communicating how she wanted to be treated. I said in that case I'm going to tie you to this bed and do whatever I want to you, and we had a great time making out, but when I went to give her oral she pushed me away saying she was too sensitive. I went back to making out, then tried again, same thing. Me not understanding that not all women need cunnilingus before penetration assumed I was doing something wrong, then tried to have sex with her with a condom but couldn't sustain an erection due to being quite nervous (also didn't help I had spent hours 24 hours with an erection and hadn't come - I can't orgasm through foreplay alone). She was really understanding and we went back to cuddling and it was cool.As we laid together she looked deep in though and I casually asked her what she was thinking about. She's a very direct kind of person and is probably too honest about things, then again the connection we had, we had already talked about most of our previous partners and life, the great memories and the traumas (I'm the son of an abusive heroin addict, it was a two way street). We had also talked about exclusivity and she said she didn't like talking to other guys because the connection between us (just over text) was so great. I told her it was her business and I'm not the jealous type, she's free to live her life, just don't tell me about other guys. She saw a tinder notification my my phone and said she felt a little jealous, I said I found that cute. I think it's obvious we will want something exclusive if we keep seeing each other.Anyway, she said without thinking that she was worried that she would date me then no longer feel attracted to me and that she would only see me as a friend, as it had happened with other people. I was a little upset by that and told her I thought it was a silly thing to say. It's naturally to think privately about someone but you don't tell them what you're thinking, (I didn't tell her this but obviously I'm thinking about her ex and whether she would be a good partner, etc). Because of the chemistry we had been enjoying I was a little bummed and she saw this and apologised with those big, brown eyes. She said she actually liked how I reacted because it showed I liked her. I said I did and then she got on top of me. The moment became quite emotional for both of us but also intimate and erotic and we ended up having unprotected sex. Let's say she didn't just see me as a friend. It felt fantastic and my neck today is covered in love bites. However, she is not on birth control (I didn't cum inside her, not that's an effective method) and we both said that had been stupid, neither of us liked using condoms but we agreed if we were going to keep seeing each other we would need to find an alternative. She left a couple of hours later as she is flying to see family today and needed to have proper sleep and pack, so I called her a taxi at 2am. Since waking up we've been texting and they chemistry is still there. I've broached the subjective of the emergency contraceptive pill and made it clear we need to be more sensible next time. She's genuinely listened and we're discussing options, being adults about it.I have no idea where this will go, or whether I even want a serious relationship or see her as a viable long term partner. 2020 will be extremely busy for me and I'm not sure if I want the investment, but I'd love to have an exclusive, reliable partner who feels the same way and wants to come and spend time with me and make love to Pink Floyd. Ive met her once but that chemistry is great. I do like her. She very obviously likes me. We'll just see how it goes and enjoy the ride. That's the story of my 29 hour first date.Very long post with no actual question, just felt like sharing! via /r/dating_advice

Spring Break pt. 2
March 12
Started the late morning at the La Rambla Street Markets. I basically got a $5 footlong but better cause it was on an actual baguette. With food in our bellies, we wandered through the city. Actually wandered. Not running on any set schedule. We used a paper map and followed street signs and our guts- only using Google Maps when absolutely necessary. We found pigeon central in La Plaza de Catalunya. This is where all the government pigeons go when they are retired, striking, or on vacation. Next, we came across the Cathedral. We visited the inside and rode the elevator to the rooftop view of the city.
I had no idea where Pat was going, so I was just along for the ride. We strolled through random alleyways and small streets which took us to the Arc de Triomf - a beautiful work of architecture. We continued walking down the strip towards the park. I love all these public spaces and invitations to chill and be part of the community.
We tried to find the zoo, but it was expensive so we went to the Picasso Museum instead to kill time. Picasso is probably one of my favorite artists. His work is so diverse and I admire his creativity and fearlessness for trying new concepts. Before entering La Sagrada Familia, we grabbed an early dinner at La Taqueria. Oh my, these street tacos were fire. Pile on that carne asada fam.
WOW. My mouth nearly dropped as hard as it did when I saw Michelangelo’s David for the first time. La Sagrada Familia is absolutely breathtaking. Photos and videos will never do this place justice. Feels like you just walked into a 4th dimension or into Heaven. 10/10 highly recommend to anyone who’s in Barcelona. And it’s amazing that it’s still under construction till 2026ish. Gaudí, you are my architectural hero.
Took the metro back to the hostel (instead of walking 70 years to get there) to rest for a bit. Later, we walked towards the beach and crossed this beautiful bridge over the pier only to realize that it wouldn’t actually take us to the beach. We ended up walking a very long back way to a street area in the hopes of finding a bar so that Pat could watch his futball game. It was pretty quiet - not what I was expecting for Barcelona. Luckily, we happened to find a cozy little bar (Bonita Bar) lit up and playing the game on a small tv. Had a chill time hanging out, watching the game, and trying some delicious Sangrias.
March 13
Amy met up with us at our hostel and from there we took the metro to Park Guell, rode an elevator to the top of the hill, and continued walking to a point near the top. Wow, we are literally on top of the world in this beautiful park overlooking the whole city. The clouds started parting their ways too, so we got some sun shining through. We took our time strolling around the top and listening to some street musicians performing. I also fell in love with the green parrots flying around.
Amy is an actual student who takes normal classes, so she took us to a little cafe near IES so we could scarf down a quick meal before she went to her afternoon class. Meanwhile, Pat and I went to the train station to reserve seats to Paris. After Amy’s class, we popped by La Rambla market to pick up food for the Bunkers (but ended up eating it even before we arrived there). We ended up being the last ones on the bus, and got off at the very last stop near the top of the mountain. We hiked up the hillside to the Bunkers (saw many signs telling us tourists to go home) and once again we were on top of the world. This time it was cooler out since the wind was intense and the sun was setting.
Amy was craving churros so we went to a little cafe. We distracted ourselves by making up our own game and rules with a board game, some dice, and markers. I swear, we played for a solid hour or so. Our food still wasn't out so we asked for it to go and hurried to catch the bus to Camp Nou. We took turns trying to juggle and balance a cup of thicc HOT chocolate and dipping our fried churros into it. So rich and yummy. Definitely for sweet tooths. On the bus some girl got her phone snatched and didn't even realize it till after the theifs left the bus. The whole debacle drastically changed the moods on the bus and I could feel a lot of tensions among the crowd. Sucks because Pat just got his phone stolen and sucks because theifs here are good at what they do. Mission “make sure Olivia doesn't get her phone snatched” is in hyperdrive.
The Barcelona v. Olympic Leon game was amazing! Such a cool experience and our seats were pretty good in my opinion. I can't believe I saw the goalie from Olympic Leon get a foot smashed into his face AND his stomach all in one move. Rip this man. He was brave for trying to play but eventually tapped out for the rest of the game. Barcelona stole the show and took home the win (and I took home a scarf for a souvenir).
We all metroed back to drop our stuff off and then Pat and I went back out to meet Amy at L’Ovella Negra. Turns out we went to the wrong one but at this point the metro was closed so we had to wait FOREVER for a bus to show up. I swear it took us another hour just to arrive. We met a bunch of Amy's friends from IES and Victoria had me salivate on my wrist and rub it on her friend’s wrist to try and get the stamp for the club to transfer. Didn't really work out but there was a faint blue stamp outline there?
At the club we skrrrted through the front line so that we could get in before 2am for cheaper/free admission. Victoria made it through and Amy barely passed. The bouncer took a look at my wrist and pulled me out of the line. And Pat's licked on stamp was basically non-existent so he got booted too. We stood next to Amy and Victoria on the other side of the fence as they made their way to the entrance. Amy and Victoria tried convincing me to sneak under the railing when the security weren't looking, but I wasn't about to risk it. After they got in, Pat and I went and stood in the actual line cause we weren't sure if Amy wanted to stay for a long time. The line moved pretty quickly though- we made friends with Ana from France. She and I did a handshake thing and she declared that we were best friends. I have no knowledge of French so we were trying our best to communicate with Spanish. But she somehow knew what Pat and I were trying to say??
Finally, we got in to this dang club and paid the ridiculously high price for entry. But yolo I'm only in Barcelona once. I had such a fun time dancing and singing the night away with Amy and Victoria!! Pat made a girl friend and Amy also made out with this one guy at some point in the night. The DJ was LIT with his music choice and I know he's a real homie cause he played Breaking Free from High School Musical. It was like 4:45am by time we left, and then we waited forever at the bus stop for the night bus to come. Google lied and said it arrived but it definitely left us abandoned at the stop. We called a taxi instead and got dropped at Amy’s hotel. The metros were open for business again, so Pat and I hopped on. I definitely fell asleep so thanks Pat for waking me up when we arrived. Took a shower around 5:30am and then crawled into bed at 6am. Woke up around 9:30 thinking that someone turned the lights on but it was just the sun shining through the windows.
Weirdly didn't feel exhausted because I was still in that window of time where it was a nap status. Anywhere between 1-3.5 hours of sleep is a nap. 4-6.5 hours of sleep is a bad place to be because I'm groggy from a nap and not well rested from a night of sleep. Generally I need a good 7-8 hours to function and probably run my best with 8-9 hours in my system.

Last night I slept terribly. I went to bed at a normal time, around 9:30. At first I found it difficult to get comfortable. I kept tossing and turning, dragging my body pillow with me, readjusting my pillow and blankets. Because the bed is right up against a window and our ancient building has little insulation, I was chilly with every turn. Inevitably I had to get up to use the restroom and returned to bed colder than ever.
I was already half awake. It’s common for people to be making noise in the street whether they’re just walking past chatting or drunkenly fighting for the attention of someone they’re attracted to by “Wooooooo”-ing and singing or whatever it is they think is clever. It’s the price you pay for living in a college town--downtown, nonetheless. There’s a nightclub in the building next door so there are frequently cars blaring music waiting to pick people up, groups of people smoking in the alley and an outpouring of people at last call. So it’s no surprise that there was a slamming door in our hallway that shook me from my sleep at 2am. I took the opportunity to use the restroom again. Any twinge in my bladder would be excuse enough to keep me awake. I turned into the bedroom and knew I was in trouble. I was as alert as if I had just woke up from a nap on a warm summer day. But there was no warm sunshine. There was no hammock to get out of or beach umbrella to adjust. Only my dark bedroom and snoring husband. I must have laid there for an hour before falling back to sleep. My alarm was set for 6am. At 5:36 I woke up to a squeaking noise. The sound is like a rusted fan that refuses to stop spinning at full speed or a car’s loose fan belt. It’s a noise that doesn’t surprise me, though I’m not sure where it’s coming from. There is a gap between our building and the building next door. There are plenty of mechanical units in that space though they are inaccessible to anyone without a key or a window on the ground floor. The noise echoes through that space and, despite numerous calls to our management company, it has not been addressed. So I woke up GRUMPY. My Fitbit says I got just over 7 hours of sleep but it always registers me as asleep even if I’m laying there unable to sleep. Regardless of my mood, I hopped out of bed. No need laying there to get annoyed by the noise. I brushed my teeth, put on my gym clothes and packed my breakfast and lunch. I woke up my husband and he teased me that the noise was all in my head. Of course it is. But it’s also outside and persistent. When it goes all day, it keeps me up until about 10pm when it inexplicably stops. Then I worry for a bit that it will wake me up early. It doesn’t always. But I worry. Sleep is very important to me. If I don’t sleep well, I’m a wreck, unable to concentrate and unable to control my moods. I’m on the brink of tears most of the day. But I powered on. I went to the gym. Because it’s been wet lately, I had to cram my winter jacket and rain boots as well as my bag for work, my gym bag and my lunch bag all into a tiny half locker. Because of my poor night’s sleep, I already felt weary in my legs, as if I had run 5 miles in my sleep. I focused on the music and the prompts from my app and made it through my running workout.  I picked up a towel from a student employee. Nothing is less reassuring against stranger-nudeness than these towels. They are beige, scratchy half-towels that barely wrap around my chest. One could easily get a peak at my nethers as it is impossible to keep the bottom closed when quickly walking from the shower to the front of the locker room where I often leave my locker unlocked for quicker access to my clothing. But today this didn’t matter. Today my shower felt more heavenly than usual. First and foremost, I was pleased to discover that I was the first user. The shower curtain was curled over the rod, there were no balls of hair covering the drain, no puddles of previously used water on the floor. 
As I unfurled the shockingly white shower curtain I came to a new realization: it was a new curtain. This is not exciting for any sanitary reasons. This is exciting because this curtain is full-sized. Unlike the fiendish towels threatening to fully expose you at any minute and unlike the curtains that were hanging there just last week, like the towels only about half the size they needed to be, this curtain stretched the whole way across the shower entrance. No need to pull this way and that to decide which angle will better cover you from the gaze of others! My day might not be so bad after all! I turned on the water and washed away the sweat and stink from my workout. The shower on my hair and face seemed to lull me into a state of complete calm. I could feel each drop of water rolling down my back, down my legs over my feet and onto the floor. For a moment, I was glowing. The water on my skin made it feel like it was shimmering. For a moment, I was experiencing bliss. Any weariness was forgotten. I was alone with the the sound of the shower and the water. When I was done, I resumed my normal business. I dried myself off under cover of the new full-sized shower curtain. I wrapped myself up as best I could and made my way to my locker. As I began to dress myself I heard the sound of the keypad warning that someone was about to enter. I turned my back and quickly put on my pants, pulled my top over my towel-wrapped head and continued with my morning rituals. 
I barely looked at myself in the mirror before I left. I was dressed in mostly black with my brown Xtra Tuff boots rubbing against the back of my heel. I had forgotten to bring socks long enough to cover the exposed area. I’m sure that I will get blisters.  When I drop my used towel off, I’m still content. I greet the student warmly and wish her a good day. In the 50 feet between then and the door outside, I remind myself that I had a wonderful experience. The misty rain, the mundane interactions that are sure to come, the people that will annoy me in person or by phone or email...I felt bliss for a brief time today. These are fleeting moments. I used to think that they made life worth living. But it’s different when you feel like you have to cling to these moments like they’re crutches to get you through life. It’s a very different attitude and this shift makes me think I should get on some medication for my depression and anxiety. Le sigh.
