𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬 :: chan enjoys some time with his family

𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 :: none besides very cute chan

Chan was walking up and down the practice room with his son in his arms who was sobbing his little heart out. Jun was 8 months old and such a sweet boy but sometimes he got a little bit fussy when his mother wasn’t there. Chan bounced the little boy slightly while kissing his son’s head whispering sweet nothings in his ear. You asked chan to take care of Jun for today so you could go out with your daughter and chan obviously agreed. He knew how hard it was for you to mostly take care of your son and Daughter and chan. He appreciated how you would make him dinner when he worked longer and always put a cute note beside the dish.

Chan heard the door open and Felix walks in holding some strawberries in a tiny bowl. Jun turns his head to Felix looking at the bowl with his big brown eyes. Jun was basically a copy of his father from the tiny curls on his head to the soft freckles on his cheeks he even has a similar lip shape, Although chan insisted that Jun has your nose. “Thank you Felix” chan said softly sitting down on the sofa with Jun in his lap his tiny body resting against his chest. Jun recently found his new love for strawberries so as soon as he saw the red fruit in the bowl his tears stop and he makes grabby hands to his uncle.

Felix smiled down at the tiny boy. While Chan holds his son to make sure he doesn’t accidentally hurt himself, Felix held out a tiny peace of strawberry. Jun stared at it before slowly grabbing the fruit in his little fist, he opened his tiny mouth and shoves the fruit in giggling when he tasted the sweet flavour. Chan smiles down at his son as Jun moves his arms around wildly. “Is it tasty baby?” Chan ask in a high pitched voice making Jun squeal his tears now long forgotten. Felix hands Jun another strawberry but instead of eating it himself like the last one Jun holds up the fruit to chan looking at his father with wide eyes. Chan’s heart melted “is that for me junieee” he said in a shocked voice. Jun shoves the peace of strawberry against his father’s mouth to signal him to eat it. Chan smiles and takes the peace of fruit nibbling on his son’s fingers to tease him.

Jun whines at his father’s teasing and makes grabby hands to his uncle, Felix waisted no time and took the little boy in his arms and hands him the bowl with strawberries. Chan smiles at the cute interaction between his best friend and son, he thinks it’s cute the way his son holds Felix finger in his tiny fist while shovelling tiny cut strawberry in his mouth. The door opens and chan watches as you and your daughter walk in the room his daughter quickly making her way over and cuddling in his chest “Daddy we went shopping and mommy got me new hair clips look” Mira points at the butterfly hair clips that sit in her braids. Chan smiles and kisses her cheek “you look beautiful Mimi” he tucks a curl behind her ear and kisses her forehead.

Jun had lost interest in his half empty bowl and was now completely engrossed in the sight of his Mother as he stares at you. You lean down and take Jun in your arms pressing kisses all over his cheeks. Jun was giggling loudly his tiny hands on your cheeks. Chan was staring at you in complete awe as Mira sat beside Felix and telling him about her new hair butterfly clips. Felix praising her and telling her how pretty she looks. Chan stands up and walks to you putting his arms around you and your son. You could see that Jun was getting sleepy so you patted his tiny back while humming lowly. Chan presses a loving kiss on your lips.

You let yourself get distracted by your husband’s lips until you heard your daughter scream “ewww daddy and mommy are kissing…no kissing you’re only allowed to kiss me” she said proudly pointing at herself. You and chan laughed. Chan kneels down and opens his arms for his daughter who didn’t waist a second to rub in her father arms snuggling into his comforting warmth she knew so well. “Let’s get home baby I think someone is tired” you said kissing Jun’s cheek. Jun nuzzles is head further in the comfort of his mother. Chan agrees and after saying good bye to Felix you both went home.

When chan opens the door to your home carefully pushing it open with his foot his sleeping daughter in his arms while you carried Jun. While you went to change your son into his clothes being careful to not wake him up chan did the same to mira carefully putting her in her bear pj’s, before putting her in her bed making sure to cover her in her favourite blanket. Chan turns on her night light that was shaped like a moon before slowly leaving her room. He doesn’t fully close the door in case she has a nightmare. When Chan walks into the kitchen he sees you standing in front of the Stove cooking dinner for you and him, he couldn’t help but smile even if you weren’t wearing any makeup and your hair tied in a messy bun wearing only his oversized sweater you where still the most beautiful woman in the world to him. So he slowly moves towards you and puts his strong arms around your waist nuzzling his face in your neck enjoying your natural scent. You hum and turn your face to press a kiss on his nose making him laugh shyly. Chan loves your affection because you don’t need to talk much and understand each other without much words. “Go sit down Darling dinner is almost done you need to eat” you said softly nudging him towards the table.

Chan complies easily and sits down his eyes following your every move in case you needed his help. You walk over to the large table and put down a bowl noodles in front of him and some chopsticks beside it. Chan smiles at you and leans over to press a sweet kiss on your lips as a thank you. Suddenly chan hears his son’s soft whines for attention so he quickly gets up and walks over to where Jun had previously been sleeping, he carefully picks him up and holds him secure to his chest before making his way back to you. You’re looking at Chan with so much admiration while holding your arms out to take your son from him “give him to me Darling you should eat” you said while taking your son carefully from him. Jun quickly calming down when he notices his mother holding him, you take the pacifier from the table and offer it to your son. Jun quickly starts to slowly suck on the pacifier while his tiny hands are busy playing with the material of the sweater you’re wearing.

Chan watches as you entertain your son while eating his dinner with a smile on his pretty lips.

Not All That Glitters is Gold Part 9

I know I keep saying this but I think I'm starting to wrap it up. By my current calculations I have about 3 more chapters to write (as always I have several chapters backlogged). That could go up of course, but that's the way it appears to be going at the moment.

In this chapter we have the first of their three "dates" and Eddie and Steve get personal.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8

@mira-jadeamethyst @rozzieroos @itsall-taken @redfreckledwolf @emly03

Heads up for sexy times, I would tell you where, but it's intermixed with a lot of conversation. Sorry.

****

Steve had never been nervous before a roleplay before. Not even his very first one. Of course that had been the homemaker one, and he thrived on them originally.

He had worn the dress as requested, but changed up the accessories. He went for simple pearl earrings and necklace. Nothing on his wrists, they would only cause problems later.

He leaned up against the bar, nursing his drink as he scanned the crowd. The thing about rolyplays was that you didn’t know exactly when the client would show up, just a ballpark figure.

Robin was on hand this time to scare off any assholes who thought that an escort was fair game whether or not they were on the clock or not.

She had already headed off three of these douchebags already and was in the process of heading off a fourth when another one breezed past her to head straight for Steve.

She was about dump ice down this alpha’s dress if she didn’t get out of her way so she could get her omega, when the woman saw the fifth alpha trying to chat Steve up.

She threw her arms in the air and stormed off, cursing Robin in at least three different languages.

Robin turned her attention to Steve, but smiled at the scene instead. Eddie Munson had arrived and Steve and he were eviscerating the asshole alpha for horning in on their date.

So she moved to sit in a nearby booth to watch them.

****

Eddie bristled when he arrived to see that Robin was having a hard time fending off alphas trying to get to Steve.

God, Steve.

Eddie had thought the man was beautiful in the glamour of his own home, but here, under the soft lights of the hotel bar, he looked like a goddess and Eddie was down to worship.

He strolled right up and slipped his arm around Steve’s waist. “Hello, darlin’. I’m sorry I’m late.”

Steve’s omega immediately preened at the attention. “I’m just glad you’re here now.”

The other alpha was a forty year old man who looked like he had more money than sense.

Eddie looked him up and down. “Shoo.”

The man sneered. “You really think that someone like you could handle an omega like that? Don’t make me laugh.”

Steve rolled his eyes, tugging on his earring. “Well considering he paid for the privilege and you didn’t, I’d fuck off before I call security.”

The man pulled himself up to full height and was scenting rage, but before he could even make a move, Xander was towering behind the guy and Robin put her hand one his chest.

Steve had signaled her when he tugged on his left earring and both his handler and driver were there for there intercept before things got really ugly.

As Xander and hotel security hauled him out, he started screaming cuss words and calling Steve all sorts of names.

Eddie winced. “Not how I wanted to start our date, sweetheart.”

Steve rubbed his nose along Eddie’s scent gland. “I don’t know, I found it hot the way you swooped in for the rescue.”

Eddie smirked. “Did you now?”

Steve bit his lip and looked down to glance up at him through his eyelashes. “Of course you did, baby. I’m such a lucky omega.”

Eddie’s alpha growled low and deep and it forced its way out of his throat. “You’re looking pretty hot yourself, Stevie.” His hand slid to press on Steve’s lower back and pulled the omega flush against his chest. “What’s your pleasure?” He nodded to the glass still in Steve’s hand.

Steve dragged his hips side to side, rubbing their clothed cocks together, but before Eddie could do anything than moan, Steve stepped away from the alpha and asked for a bottle of their best whiskey to share.

Eddie sat down on the barstool next to him and they talked. With each passing moment as the alcohol hit his system, Steve was getting warmer. He could feel the heat between his legs. He crossed them to try and tame the desire that was pulsating through his very core.

Eddie licked his lips and his mouth went dry. He downed the rest of his glass and threw money on the bar top.

“Keep the change,” he growled, not even glancing to see how much he had dropped, but judging from Steve’s impressed expression it was probably a lot.

Eddie grabbed Steve’s wrist and they were off running for the elevators. Eddie pressed the up button and then pulled Steve close to kiss him deeply.

The elevator bell dinged and Steve pushed him away to dash into the open doors. Eddie gave chase and swung Steve around, bring him back to his orbit, barely hitting the right floor as he drank in Steve’s kisses.

Again the elevator bell dinged and the doors swung open again and they ran out, hand in hand.

Steve giggled as Eddie struggled to get the key card out of his pants and finally let them into the hotel suite.

Eddie got his hands under the slits in the dress, feeling up Steve’s thighs. “God, baby. I could eat you all up.”

Steve smiled but pushed back. He took a couple steps back, putting more distance between them. Once he was far enough back that Eddie would get the full effect, Steve reached up and undid the clasp on his dress.

And as described the dress flowed like a waterfall to ground.

Eddie gaped as he stood there in his just thong and shoes. “Fuck. That was even sexier than it was in my head.”

He got close enough to extend his hand to help Steve step away from the folds of the dress pooling at his ankles and right into Eddie’s arms.

Eddie kissed him like he was drowning and Steve was his salvation.

Steve was dizzy with want. There were a few alphas in his past that he had had crushes on or even developed feelings for, but they were nothing compared to the sheer want of being with Eddie.

“Yes, alpha,” he murmured. “Take what you want.”

Eddie let out a low growl that came from his chest and Steve’s omega fucking chirped back. But before the embarrassment could over take Steve for having broken through his professionalism again for this man, Eddie was sweeping Steve off his feet and carrying him bridal style to the bed.

Eddie carefully set him down and then made quick work of taking off Steve’s shoes. Now all he was wearing was his matching gold thong and looking up at Eddie with hooded eyes.

“Fuck, Stevie,” Eddie purred. “You look good enough to eat.”

Steve let out a delight laugh. “So you’ve said, so you gonna do something about it?”

Eddie licked the top row of his teeth, bring attention to sharp canine teeth that alphas were famous for. Gotta break the skin for that bond bite, you know?

Steve giggled hysterically and slapped a hand over his mouth. He blushed a dark red. A red that seemed to reach his nipples and the tips of his ears.

Eddie gently pulled his hand away from his mouth. “It’s alright to giggle, darlin’. It was cute.”

He kissed the inside of Steve’s wrist and suddenly the shame gave way to arousal. Steve moaned.

“That’s it, baby,” Eddie whispered, “I want to hear every delicious sound you make.” He slid off the panties and tossed them to the side.

Steve threw back his head and nearly jack knifed off the bed, crying out in pleasure when Eddie buried his head right between Steve’s legs.

Steve thought for sure Eddie would go for his cock. Every alpha Steve had been with had. Steve was well endowed for even a beta. He could never measure up to an alpha cock, as they were massive by design to be able to form a knot, but Steve had nothing to scoff at.

But, no. Eddie went straight for Steve’s pussy, licking and sucking the folds of his omegahood.

“Eddie!” Steve cried. “Oh god! That feels so good.”

Eddie nipped gently on the inside of Steve’s thigh. “What’s the matter, gorgeous, no one eat you out before?”

Steve shook his head, biting down on his lip in humiliation.

Eddie’s head snapped up in shock. “Wait, really?”

“It’s my job to take care of the alpha,” Steve murmured, “no one’s taken care of me before.”

Eddie sat up and looked him right in the eye. “What do you do for your heats?”

Steve struggled to sit up and Eddie let him. He wrapped his arms around his knees. “We aren’t allowed to share them with alphas.” He cocked his head to the side. “Not normally anyway. Only the highest of the high elite know that heats can be bought through the agency, but they’re are deliberately prohibitively high.”

Eddie licked his lips as another piece of the puzzle that was this beautiful omega fell into place.

“Like how high are we talking about?”

Steve scratched his cheek. “Depends on the omega really.”

Eddie snorted. “I meant you specifically, sweetheart.”

“Well, last time someone asked it was quoted at five million,” he replied with a wince, “but that was a couple of years ago, it’s probably twice that now.”

“I’m guessing he didn’t have the money?” Eddie asked rubbing his chin.

Steve scoffed. “She and no, she didn’t. She protested so hotly that Starcourt banned her for life.”

“That’s a really short list to be on,” he said, whistling long and low. “That must have been one hell of a hornets’ nest she kicked.”

“You wouldn’t have heard anything about it,” Steve mumbled. “Starcourt takes the lives of their omegas very seriously. They were able to buy off the press and force her into fringe media to make her look hysterical. It went so far under the radar that most people don’t even remember her.”

Eddie tugged on Steve’s legs until he was stretched out on the bed again. “Change of track. I was going to give you the most mind blowing, heat searing sex imaginable, but now I’m going worship every inch of your skin like you should be.”

Steve covered his face with his hands in embarrassment, behind them he could hear Eddie undress. Then the bed sank with the weight of Eddie as peeled Steve’s hands away from his face.

“No hiding, baby,” he murmured into Steve’s ear. “I want to see all of you.”

Steve let out a low shuddering breath and then nodded. “Yes, alpha.”

“Good boy,” Eddie said softly against his lips before sealing them with a kiss.

It was gentle and warm and Steve absolutely melted with it. Eddie moved from his lips to his jaw to the two little moles just under his chin. He hovered over Steve’s scent gland.

“Can I scent you, Stevie?” he muttered, voice thick with want.

Steve’s hips canted up seeking friction. “Yes, Eds. Please!”

Eddie pulled his head up to look at him in the eyes. “Eds, huh? I like it.” He bent back over the scent gland and licked along its length, causing Steve to shiver.

“Oh, sweetheart,” Eddie cooed. “Look at how responsive you are when someone takes care of you. You’re positively aching for it, aren’t you?”

Steve nodded. “Please, Eds, I need you.”

“And how could I possibly say no to such a pretty request.”

Eddie pulled off his clothes and slid on a condom, then proceeded to make the night about Steve’s pleasure. Working every inch of his body like he was playing guitar.

Steve isn’t even sure how many times he came that night, but he was damn sure it was a personal record.

As they laid in bed together afterwards, condom disposed of, Eddie asked, “How come you switch between my name and calling me alpha?”

Steve blushed deeply. “Technically I’m not supposed to use a client’s name when I’m on a job, just ‘alpha’.”

“To keep impersonal?” Eddie guessed, wrapping Steve up into his arms and pressing a kiss on his jaw.

Steve hummed. “Yeah, but you keep breaking through my professional exterior to my gooey center.”

Eddie chuckled, nosing Steve’s scent gland. “You won’t get into trouble, will you?”

“No,” Steve said, amusement coloring his tone, making it light and airy. “And if they do say something, I’ll just tell them that since I’m pretending to be your boyfriend for the next three months, I can’t go around calling you ‘alpha’. How weird would that be?”

Eddie just nodded. “When do you have to leave?”

Steve turned in his arms so that they faced each other. “Usually, I’d slip out once you’re asleep–”

“You do what now?!” Eddie squawked, outraged.

Steve rolled his eyes. “It’s for our safety. Too often alphas will get possessive if we stay the night, thinking there was more to it than a simple transaction.”

“Oh.”

Eddie hadn’t thought about it that way. He was only thinking about how the alpha would feel. But that was meaningless. It didn’t matter how they felt, because as Steve pointed out, it was only a transaction.

“Yeah,” Steve said with a shrug. “But seeing as tonight was to set up us as ‘dating’ staying the night is kinda the point.”

“Sounds good, darlin’,” Eddie murmured, settling into fall asleep.

Steve watched as his breath evened out and his eyes fluttered close.

Now all he had to do is figure out how to prevent his heart from shattering into a billion pieces when they ‘broke up’ in three months.

You make me happy

Pairing: Steve Mcgarrett x Latina!reader

Summary: Meeting your mom would be the last piece to complete the happiness you were currently feeling. You knew you mom was going to love Steve, even if he was worried about how the interaction would go. However, seeing it happen made you find a sense of comfort you needed.

As you lovingly placed a hand on your baby bump, Steve stayed close by, gently supporting you with a comforting touch on your lower back. In the midst of the bustling crowd, a hint of nervousness fluttered in your stomach as you eagerly searched for the two cherished faces, long absent from your life. "Mija!" As you heard the loving Spanish accent, you couldn't help but turn away from Steve and divert your attention towards the older woman. Her black hair, now showing hints of gray, framed her face in soft curls. With a sweet smile that brought back fond memories, she hurried over to you, followed closely by your brother, whose face was also beaming with happiness. With enthusiasm, she hurried towards you. Your brother effortlessly rolled the luggage behind him while your mother wasted no time in enveloping you in a warm embrace. You couldn't help but smile as her arms wrapped around your neck and she showered your face with kisses. As her lips touched your face, you couldn't help but scrunch your nose, knowing how much she had longed for this moment.

"Mama," You wrapped your arms around her, rubbing her back as you kissed her cheek. "¿Cómo estás? ¿Cómo estuvo tu vuelo? (how are you? how was your flight?)" As you shifted your gaze, a subtle movement at the edge of your vision captured your attention. Your eyes landed on your brother. To your surprise, he warmly embraced Steve, and you couldn't help but smile. It was evident that a unique bond existed between them, forged through their shared experiences as Navy SEALs.

"Estoy bien, chula. El vuelo no estuvo mal. (I'm fine, beautiful. The flight wasn't bad.)" She couldn't help but shift her gaze towards the bump between you, and gently placed her hand over it. A small smile formed on her face, and a glimmer of excitement sparkled in her eyes. Deep down, she was aware of your pregnancy, but witnessing it firsthand served as a gentle reminder of the beautiful reality unfolding before her. "¡Voy a ser abuela! (I'm gonna be a grandma!)" She gushed with excitement. "¡Mijo, ven mira! (Son, come look.)" As she guided your brother over, he playfully rolled his eyes, but there was a glimmer of excitement in his gaze as he quickly planted a kiss on your cheek.

"Hey, short stack." As your mom gently placed his hand over your baby bump, he gave you a warm greeting. His eyes briefly glanced down at his hand before meeting yours once again. "Five months, right?"

"Right." You placed a hand on his arm. Your brother knew how excited you were to have this baby. How life in Hawai'i was everything you wished and how his best man helped you adjust to life. You knew your brother wasn't happy about your relationship with Steve the first time he came to see your after a year and half of living here. In fact, he almost fought Steve when he saw you come outside in one of Steve's shirts that fitted you like a dress. It took a lot of convincing before your brother to warm up to the idea. "Mami," You reached out for your boyfriend. "I want to introduce to you my boyfriend." Your mom followed your gaze to the man who stood next to you. You watched as she took him in. "This is Steve Mcgarrett."

"Ma'am, it's an honor having you here." Steve held a hand out to her. Your mom-- on the other hand-- just pulled him into a hug that caught him off guard. You and your brother shared a laugh.

"¿Mija, cómo digo, es un placer conocerte? (daughter, how do i say it is nice to meet you?)" She pulled back from the hug as she looked at you. She moved her hands to grab him and Steve glanced over at you.

"Nice to meet you." You responded back. A thing about your mother was that she could understand English perfectly, her issue was speaking it. She struggled with certain works and she had a very thick accent when she spoke English. Something you did warn Steve about.

"Eh," She turned to look at him. "Nice to meet you," My brother and I gave each other a look. "Ehteben. (steven)" And then there it was. You smiled as you brother did his best not to laugh. Steve just smiled at your mom but you could see it in his eyes that he found her accent endearing. "¿Lo dije bien?" She looked over at you and your brother and you guys just nodded.

"This is for you." Steve placed the lei around your mom and she gasped. She commented on how the flowers were pretty and how he didn't have to. Steve just nodded but glanced over at you for help, unsure what your mom had said. You just mouthed thank you in which he replied with, "It's no issue at all."

``````

Your mom insisted on cooking and having the rest of Steve's team over. She was in the kitchen, your brother forced to help her since she refused to let you do anything. Steve sat next to you. His arm over your shoulder as you snuggled into his side. "Your mom makes me question if I even learned anything during the three years we've dated." You let out an amused snort.

"Mi Amado, (my beloved)" You moved a bit to look up at him. "You have to remember that when I speak Spanish to you, I don't speak it as fast. My mom speaks it with a natural flow that makes it seem fast for you." You placed a hand on his thigh. "Besides, you're learning and that's all that matters." He was going to say more but the door opened and in came the team. "Hello!" You pushed yourself up, using the support of Steve, and hugged each person. "I'm sorry that this was last minute, my mom was very insistent that she cook for you all today." Danny waved you off. "La familia no es sólo quienes son de tu sangre, sino son los que nunca nos abandonan." A quote your mom lived by.

"Family is not only those who are of your blood but are those who never leave us." You said again but this time in English.

"I love your mom already." Danny handed Steve a case of beer.

"Well let me go a head and introduce you guys to my mom and brother." You motioned for them to follow behind you. "Also, I hope you guys are ready to try authentic Mexican food and take gain a couple pounds in the process." You teased but actually meant the part of gaining some weight. You already knew your mom was going to feed them to the point where they might end up in a food coma. "Mami. Mateo." Your mom and brother turned around. "I would like you guys to meet the rest of the team." As you introduced them, you weren't surprised that they had remembered your brother Mateo. Your mom on the other hand made sure to greet them all with a hug and a kiss on each cheek. She also insisted that they call her mom. None of them argued with her as she did her best to talk to them.

``````

Just like that dinner was a hit. Everyone loved the food, Steve and a few others almost died on the salsa your mom made. You-- on the other hand-- didn't realize how much you had missed and craved her food. It had hit a spot and satisfied all the cravings you had. You sat out on the beach with everyone, your eyes looked around and landed on Steve who stood on the deck with your mom. Your eyes met, and he playfully winked at you, adding a delightful touch to the evening. Just as you were lost in that moment, Kono called out your name, capturing your attention once again.

Steve had gone in to get some more beers when your mom stopped him. "Mijo," Steve hummed in response as he looked at your mom. "Yo sé que no me vas entender, pero gracias por amar a mi hija. Por ser su roca y apoyo. Puedo ver en tus ojos la forma en que la amas tanto. (I know you won't understand me, but thank you for loving my daughter. For being your rock and support. I can see in your eyes the way you love her so much.)" She gently reached up and tenderly cupped his face, as Steve kindly bent his knees to make it more convenient for her. Confusion furrowed his brow as he struggled to comprehend every word she was saying. Despite the language barrier, he sensed an unmistakable warmth in her words. Tears welled up in her eyes, yet she continued to smile at him, displaying a tender expression in her gaze. "Puedo estar en paz sabiendo que ella está con un hombre que haría cualquier cosa por ella. Gracias. (I can be at peace knowing that she is with a man who would do anything for her. Thank you.)" He nodded, not knowing what else to do.

"Mami," Your voice caused Steve to glance at you. He could see your amusement as you neared. "¿Qué haces con mi novio? (What are you doing to my boyfriend?)" With a playful smirk in your voice, you stood by his side. Your mom affectionately planted a quick kiss on Steve's forehead before allowing him to stand tall. You affectionately placed an arm around him, looking at your mom. There was a happiness in her eyes, and you sensed that it was because she saw you at your happiest, especially since your dad passed away a decade ago.

"Nada, mija. (Nothing, daughter)" She grabbed your free hand in one of hers and took Steve's in her other one before bring them both together. "Estoy muy feliz por ti y agradecida. Agradecida de que me hayas bendecido con la oportunidad de ser abuela. (I am just happy for you and grateful. Grateful that you have given me this opputonity to be a grandma.)" She kisses the back of both your hands as she holds it with such care. "Le pido a dios que te mantenga en buenas manos y te bendiga con lo mejor. (I pray to God that he keeps you in good hands and blesses you with the best.)" You smiled softly at her, the stinging sensation of tears in your eyes as you tried your best not to cry.

"Gracias Mami. (thank you mom)" As you leaned in to kiss her cheek, she graced you with a final smile before joining the rest of the group. Your gaze shifted upward towards Steve, who gently brushed your cheeks. In that moment, tears had already welled up and begun to trickle down from your eyes.

"What she say?" He asked softly as you hugged him. You chin resting on his chest as you look up at him.

"She is thankful that you knocked me up." You playfully teased, eliciting a gentle chuckle from Steve that reverberated warmly in his chest. Affectionately, he brushed a few strands of hair behind your ear, and then tenderly rested his hand underneath it. "But she is glad that she knowns I am in good hands and that I'm happy." His thumb gently rubs your the apple of your cheeks. "That you make me happy and prays for the best to come and that we stay safe."

"Guess it's safe to say she likes me." He lowered his lips on to yours. Deep down, he felt a subtle nervousness creep in as he thought about meeting your mom for the first time. Despite his efforts to appear calm, you could tell how much he cared by the way he eagerly assisted you in preparing for the meeting. He simply wanted to make a great first impression and ensure that everything went smoothly.

"She adores you." You closed the space between you, kissing him softly. His lips moved against yours, and you felt him pull you closer. Or as close as he could with your baby bump between you. "You make me happy and that's all she truly cares about." You gave him another kiss. "But if she found out how reckless you are, she might have a heart attack," You felt him smirk against your lips.

"Well, I guess it'll be our little secret then." As his lips gently met yours, a playful spark flickered in his eyes. His hand tenderly brushed down your neck, applying a hint of pressure. It caused you to bite your lower lip in delight, a soft hum of pleasure escaping your lips. The mischievous glint in his eyes made the moment all the more exciting.

gavi x mexican fem reader!

the boat ride

gavi recently went on vacation to Ibiza with his friends and family.during the trip all gavi wanted to do was spend time with his family and friends.

he wasn’t planning to fall for someone on his trip but boy it didn’t go according to plan when he saw you getting back up to your boat.

he couldn’t stop staring at you you were wearing a white two piece that was barely covering anything but it looked amazing on you.

he couldn’t keep his eyes off of you he was just staring at you get up and drying yourself,it wasn’t till one of his friends spoke that he realized he was probably acting like a creep.

“yo gavi ¿qué estás mirando?”(yo gavi what are you staring at?) Mario said as he looked to where gavi was looking at seeing a beautiful girl with tan skin that was glowing and she had beautiful long black hair with blue eyes.

“nada no estoy mirando nada”(nothing I’m not looking at nothing) he said quickly looking away just to see his family and the rest of his friends looking at him in amusement with smirk’s on their faces.

“¡Ay, deja de mirarme así!”(oh stop looking at me like that!) gavi said annoyed as his family and his friends also looked at the young girl who caught his attention.

“Oh she’s hot,now I know why he was staring at her” biel said as he was checking you out as the other single guys agreed and gavi turned his head quickly to him and said “deja de hablar asi de ella”(stop talking about her like that) gavi said getting up angrily.

“gavi hijo cálmate”(gavi son calm down) Pablo’s dad said as arora and javi chimed in saying “cálmate gavi”(gavi calm down) “gavi!”

at that moment Gavi turned around to look back at you just to see your boat leaving back to the docks wich made gavi angry that he wasted his time getting mad instead of admiring you.

“Whatever!” he said going to the other part of the boat hoping that he’ll see yo again and leaving his friends and family shocked by the way he acted out

The villa

gavi was outside of his villa with his family and friends enjoying the weather not to cold and not to hot everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves except for gavi all he could think about was you.

you were outside your villa lounging around, you where on the same trip as him spending time with friends and family till you had to go to barcelona and get settled in to your new apartment for college.

it wasn’t till gavi heard a baby’s giggle that snapped him out of his thoughts,he was looking around till he saw you again. you were wearing a knitted cream skirt & sleeves paired with a brown bikini underneath that looked amazing on you.

“mira, esa es la chica a la que gavi estaba mirando”(look that’s the girl gavi was looking at) javi said pointing to where you were and not to loud because you were only a few feet away from there villa.

everyone shot there heads to where you were, your brother had boughten out your nephew who’s 6 months.your were carrying him and he was just laughing like crazy & smiling as you were mimicking him.

“Oh mateo eres tan precioso”(oh mateo your so presios) you said as you kissed all over his face making him giggle even more,everyone looked at them and take in this beautiful moment.

“you know I wonder what she is? a tanned skin girl with long black silky hair and to top it all off she has these beautiful bright blue eyes” gavi said to them as he was admiring you with a cute baby in your arms.

“I don’t know maybe you can go over and talk to her?and maybe get to know her?”aroura question as gavi chuckled and said “are you crazy,what am I going to say? hey I saw you on the yacht and then I saw again!” he said as he looked at his sister like she was crazy.

“and you….lost your chance” ale said as he saw you walk back inside your villa.

“I want to! don’t get me wrong but she keeps leaving every time I get the confidence to” he said sad that you left leaving his mom to comfort him.

dinner

when pablo went out to dinner he saw you they were seated a table away,you were with your family & friends eating and talking,god he wished he could hear your voice so bad.

the whole time he kept paying attention to every detail detail about you how you’re eyes sparkled when you saw your nephew and he also noticed how you looked just like your dad and mom,you had there features your mom’s long hair your dad’s eyes and how you have a birth mark on your right cheek and one on top of your lip.

he also noticed how the waiter was flirting with you and he didn’t like it at all he clenched his jaw and squeezed his fist tightly making his nucleus turn white.

he wanted to get up but Mario spoke up and said “leave it she’s not your’s” and he did he listened because he’s right your not his….

the concert

gavi and his friends went to a concert he was having a good time but then his eye’s landed on you you were wearing a white corset top that pushed up your breast and this really short mini skirt.

you wear having a good time with your friends dancing and living your life.

he wondered how it would feel like to touch your skin,run his hands through your hair,look into your eyes,hear your voice.

the whole night you felt somebody waching you and you were right one of you friends whispered to your ear saying pablo gavi was staring at you.

Of course you knew because you also have caught him staring when you were on the boat when you were at your villa and when you were at dinner, your friend whispered in your ear.

your friends told you to go up to him but you didn’t want to.they kept saying “what if he likes you?” “just go up to him” talk to him”

but you didn’t because all that went through your mind was all the things that were said about him on social media and on the news,you also knew that if something did happened it will probably just be a one night stand nothing else the next day he would have forgotten all about you.

and you wouldn’t because you would have caught feelings and gotten attached and you didn’t want to go through a heart break so instead you just left it alone wondering if he kept looking at you the whole night and gavi was watching you the whole time making sure you were alright.

the beach

The next day during sunset gavi decided to go take a walk on the beach,it was his favorite thing to do but he didn’t expect to run into you.you were wearing this beautiful light pink dress with flower designs that showed off your bikini underneath.

you were sitting down on the sand looking at the sunset thinking about how you used to got to the beach to go look at the sunset in mexico.

it took him a little while to pull up the courage to go up to you and say something “it’s beautiful isn’t it?” he asked as you turned around seeing him and nodding “it is”you said in a low voice turning back to the sunset.

when he heard your voice his heart started beating fast you sounded like a angle to him he even took the opportunity to sit down and admire some more of your features up close.

you guys were silent for a few seconds, till he decided to speak up and say something “you know I’ve seen you around a couple of times” he said “ I know but do you stare at every pretty girl you see?”you asked looking at his eyes.

“nope just you”he said looking at your lips“yeah that what they all say”you replied looking back at the sunset “I promise you I’m not like that,I’m not the type for a one night stand ” he said and at that moment he he got a text.

he took out his phone looking at the text and you also chuckled as you looked at the message.

“hey gavi I found some girls for us to spend some time with ”

“Sure your not but if you excuse me I have to get going” you said getting up before gavi got the chance to stop you.he was mentally cursing at his friend for texting him that knowing that she probably wouldn’t want to talk to him again after she saw that text.

Potential prompt: Sam gets hurt protecting Tara. Like badly hurt. What would happen?

“Go with grace”

i’m sorry.

————————————

“Sammy. Sammy! ¿Puedes dibujarme una flor?”

(Sammy. Sammy! Can you draw me a flower?)

Sam looked down at the little voice next to her, smiling down at her baby sister. She was working on her art project at the kitchen table, on one of the high stools. At just five years old, she was not quite big enough to reach Sam, so she used her little hands to tug on Sam’s pants for attention.

Reaching down, Sam picked up Tara and situated her on her lap. Her sister curled into her embrace, sighing peacefully. Sam reached for her pack of colored pencils, pulling it closer to Tara.

“Tú eliges los colores. Quieres un lirio o un tulipán?” she murmured, kissing Tara's hair.

(You choose the colors. Do you want a lily or tulip?)

Her sister played with the pencils, running her little hands over each one. Sam knew that Tara liked the sensation and texture of the smooth pencils, and let her sister take her time making a decision. She just held her sister, pressing her cheek into her hair. Tara always smelled like peaches. Sam was addicted.

Finally, Tara picked out a few. Blue, yellow, and purple. She handed the pencils to Sam, leaning back into her big sister, ready to watch. “Quiero un lirio, por favor,”.

(I want a lily, please)

Kissing the back of her head, Sam started to draw.

Tara watched her big sister draw, her eyes big and full of wonder. She rested her head against Sam’s chest, and with one hand on Sam’s drawing hand, gently tracing with her big sister. Art isn’t something that came naturally to Tara. She just loved watching her big sister draw.

It took a while, and once Sam started to feel Tara sag against her, sighing sleepily, she hurried it up.

“Está hecho nena. Mira,” she whispered, shaking Tara a little bit.

(It’s done, baby girl. Look).

Yawning, Tara leaned forward. Sam could practically feel the excitement vibrating from her baby sister.

“Qué bonito. ¿Es para mí?” her sister questioned, marveling at the picture.

(It’s pretty! Is it for me?).

Sam laughed, squeezing Tara affectionately. “Sí, mi hermoso cielo. Todo es para ti,” she whispered.

(Yes my beautiful sky. Everything is for you).

Tara laughed in glee, her little fingers playing with the paper. A purple tulip with blue and yellow highlights, with Sam’s work-in-progress official signature in the bottom right corner.

The two stayed there for a while, enjoying each other's comfort, staring at that picture together.

——

As Tara held her big sister’s body against her chest, she saw the tattoo. After having her sister back in her life for a whole year, Tara had never seen that tattoo. Even with the blood staining her big sister’s chest, Tara could still see it peeking out above Sam’s collarbone.

It was the very same tulip that Sam had drawn Tara years ago. The purple flower with yellow and blue highlights. With that same wobbly signature at the bottom right corner. It was a spitting image of that same flower, but on her big sister’s skin.

Sam gasped in her arms, her eyes drifting away. Tara sobbed, holding Sam tight with one arm, the other pressing on the wound that marred her sister’s chest. Her sister looked shocked, blood dripping out of the corner of her mouth. She could feel her big sister’s quick gasps and wheezing against her chest.

Desperately, Tara started talking, trying to get Sam to look at her. “¿El tulipán? Sam, ¿es ese el tulipán? Sam, mírame. Mírame. Háblame del tulipán, Sammy.”

(Is that the tulip? Sam, is that the tulip? Sam, look at me. Look at me. Tell me about the tulip, Sammy).

Sam looked up at her baby sister, her warm eyes unfocused. Despite the blood loss, Sam still looked at Tara with so much wonder and so much love. Her big sister looked so comfortable, so relaxed. It made Tara cry harder, squeezing Sam.

“El tulipán. Te quiero, Tara. I love you so much.” her big sister whispered, the corners of her bloody mouth quivering a bit.

(The tulip. I love you, Tara. I love you so much).

Tara shook her head rapidly. “No. No, Sammy. Look at me. Stay, Sammy, stay!” she pleaded, shaking Sam a bit.

The color blue and the smell of tulips will haunt Tara.

She will always hear echoes of an ambulance too late to save Sam, for the rest of her life. The feeling of her sister’s blood sticking to her skin will stain her hands permanently red.

And that flower will haunt her. But she will still get it tattooed above her collarbone. And Tara will seek danger for the rest of her short life, hoping that a bullet will bring her back to her sister.

She hopes that she goes with the same grace her big sister once did, a death softened by the blow of love. Tranquility knowing that the person they love will stay with them while they pass.

Grace.

Torta Negra and Other Sweet Things

Encantober Day 2: Siblings

The thing about Camilo was just that he was so loud.

It wasn’t that Dolores didn’t like him. She loved her brother. 

She just didn’t like how every thing he did, every sound he made seemed to be - exaggerated, somehow.  Bigger than it needed to be.

It hadn’t been like that with Luisa, and it wasn’t like that with Mirabel either.

Luisa cried a lot as a baby and as a toddler but they were soft, quiet tears.  Her big eyes would well up and tears would roll down her chubby cheeks and she would let out a sound like a snuffling puppy. 

It was easy for Dolores to quiet Luisa, when she used to cry.  She’d just take her hand and sit with her or make her stuffed unicorn dance or hold her in a tight hug and hum a lullaby and Luisa would calm down.  Sometimes Isa would make her a flower crown to cheer her up or Tía Julieta would give her a snack or Tío Bruno would sit with her in his lap and let her pet his rats, slow and gentle, and tell her a silly story about them in his soft, raspy voice.

Luisa didn’t really cry much anymore, since she got her gift last year.  She was too busy being strong and helpful to cry.

And Mirabel cried a little bit, but never for long.  And she babbled a lot but it was happy and it almost never hurt Dolores’ ears.

But Camilo?

He more than made up for it.

And it wasn’t just the crying. 

He cried plenty, sure.  He cried when anyone told him ‘no’ or when his juice was too sour or when his arepa was too crumbly.  He cried when Abuela wouldn’t let him play with his ball in Casita because they were having company and he cried when he could play but Mirabel wasn’t interested. 

But he made lots of other very loud noises, too.

He yelled when he was angry when Mira stole his snack and he yelled when he dropped a toy he couldn’t reach and he yelled when he was excited.

He yelled when he saw Tío Bruno’s rats and he yelled when he saw Papí dancing with Mamí and he yelled when he saw Mamí’s rainbows or Isa’s flowers or Luisa pick something up that was bigger than her.

Even his laugh was loud.

He didn’t giggle like Mirabel or Luisa or chuckle like Papí or snort like Tío Bruno.  His laugh was more of a…. screech.

And today was a bad day to have to listen to his screeching.

Her head already hurt from all the listening she had to do today and she was tired of people in town and tired of people at home.  She was tired of hearing Tío Bruno muttering to himself and tired of hearing Tía Julieta banging and clanging in the kitchen and tired of hearing Tío Agustín running into things. 

Mamí had gotten angry with Abuela again and her thunder was loud and she heard Luisa’s eye twitch and Isabela kept telling Mirabel ‘no’ because she didn’t want to play and -

“Lolo!”

Her little brother was walking toward her – almost running on his little toddler feet – and he was crunching on some sort of snack and it was Too. Loud.

Dolores cringed and put her hands over her ears and squeezed her eyes shut.  “Shhhhh, Milo!” She whispered.

“LOLO!”

“Camilo!  Shhhh!  You’re just – too loud!” 

It came out in a hiss and it sounded a lot meaner than she meant it to.

His footsteps stopped.  

“Loud?”  He asked, and for once – his voice was – softer. Curious. "Wha loud ?"

She opened her eyes and stared down at him.

He had the crumbs of whatever oblea he had been eating all over his shirt and something else in his hand, and he looked up at her with his eyes all squinty like he was trying to figure something out.

"Loud…" Dolores thought. "Loud is LIKE THIS," she said, raising her voice as loud as she could stand to make it go. "THIS IS LOUD."

She winced. "And this," she said in a whisper, "is quiet."

“No loud, Lolo?” He asked, and she could tell he was trying hard to not yell.

“No.  I mean – yes,” she said softly.  “I mean - I don’t like loud noises, Camilo. It hurts my ears."  

He tilted his head at her.  “No loud, Lolo,” he repeated seriously.

He wasn’t yelling.

They stared at each other for a long moment before she very carefully removed her hands from her ears.  

“What’ve you got in your hand, Camilo?”

He looked down at his hand as though surprised to find something in it. 

“Oh!”  He said, a little too loudly.  And then he stopped and crouched down, lowering his body a little along with his volume.  “Oh,” he said, in a not-quite-whisper.  “For Lolo.”

He held out his hand, and inside was what looked like a handful of mud.

Dolores wrinkled her nose.  “…what - ?”

“For Lolo.  To-ta.”  Leaning forward she could smell the rich chocolate and see that it wasn’t mud – it was a toddler-sized scoop of their tía’s torta negra. 

Without even thinking it through, she held out her hand, and he plonked the sticky mess right into it. 

“For Lolo!”  He said again, in his not quite whisper.  He grinned at her, and he still had crumbs on his cheeks.

“Ay!  What happened to my cake?!”  Tía Julieta cried from the kitchen.

  Dolores and Camilo looked at each other – her eyes wide with shock and his eyes wide with mischief. 

For a moment, there was silence, and then Camilo cackled – quietly - and ran away as fast as his chubby toddler legs would carry him.

As Dolores followed him, a tiny smile tugging at the corner of her mouth and a pile of chocolate-flavored mush in her hand, she thought –  

Maybe her little brother wasn’t so bad.

Chishiya X Reader | New Era

WARNING: Spoilers, curse words & mention of weapons!

Author's Note: Thank you so much for your support and reblogs, as always! I see and appreciate each one of you! This is a PART OF A SERIES so people who are just reading this one post for the first time might not understand the context please read the parts linked below.

Part 1 | ... | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7

He opened the door and it was Kuina. "They have been asking for you." She pointed to Aguni who was heading towards Hatter's meeting room.

He looked back at you as you sat up on the bed. "You both stay here." He said with a serious expression. It was rare that he was this serious and looked concerned. You knew something was wrong. Your mind raced in so many places. What if this was all because of what happened earlier? What if Aguni was against this all?

Before you can go deeper into your thoughts Kunia sat beside you with a jump and said, "Spill". You looked at her confused and then realized what she was talking about. You could feel the blood rushing to your face as you turned your face away from her. "You both fucked didn't you!" she said as she tried jumping in front of your face. "NO! I mean we almost went for it but then you came" it came out as a complaint.

"No way... am I... am I the problem?" she said trying to mimic the TikTok audio that was trending before you came to Borderland. You both laughed, this is what you loved about her. She can be a badass at the same time act like this, which kind of grounds you to the fact that you don't always have to be tense even in Borderlands.

But what tensed you and her right now is what could be happening there in the meeting hall.

~In the meeting hall~

As Chishiya entered the hall he was nervous himself but when he saw Hatter's body he was a bit happy. Which soon turned into a concern because this would mean that Aguni will take over. "I think No.2 should take over," Mira said adding to the conversation that they were having before Chishiya arrived.

Mostly everyone backed her up except Niragi. Of course, he had to. He wanted Aguni to be the next leader. Of course. Even after having the majority with No. 2 being the next leader he turned the odds with force as a gun was pointed at everyone's head and with that devilish smirk of his.

When it came to Chishiya it was as if he was threatening him, not even asking him to vote for Aguni. Chishiya obviously obliged as he put both his arms up with a smile. "Should have brought your little bitch here too. I'd love to see HER next to my baby (his gun)" he whispered as he walked away from Chishiya who then looked at Aguni.

Aguni was deep in thought. Chishiya knew he killed Hatter. BUT he kept silent.

~Back from there~

When he came back to his room, both Kuina and you were fast asleep on his bed.

You had your gossip session with her and told her everything, then you both talked about your lives back in the real world and ended up falling asleep while talking.

He smiled to himself, "Rest up you two." he said as he pulled the covers over on you two and slept on the couch. He knew what was coming is not going to be easy.

You woke up with a jerk, you had a nightmare. These nightmares were the new normal for you since every other day something happens that you never thought of in your wildest dreams, that you'll witness. 

To your surprise Chishiya was up already he must have made himself some tea and was walking out to his balcony. It was dawn. You didn't know he was an early riser. As much as you wanted to go back to sleep you wanted to talk to him. It was like something changed and now you just openly want to spend time with him.

You followed him, "Good Morning," You said sitting down on the floor next to him. To your surprise, he pulled you in and kissed you gently, and said oh-so-softly "Good Morning." You just were a shy mess to which he smiled as he pulled you closer.

You were so happy that this was okay to do all this because you wanted this SO BAD! "Comfort" was a long-lost dream of yours. Yes, materialistic comfort was obviously there because in a way the whole city was yours but this sort of comfort was what you were craving.

When you woke up the first thing that came to your mind was, "Hmm I want to see him... it'll be nice if I can get a kiss as well... or maybe moreee SHUT UP Y/N you don't even know what happened in the meeting last night plus what if it was a one-time thing for him." THEN you saw him walking out.

You both spent the next hour in comfortable silence as he shared his tea with you and your head resting on his shoulder. You could tell that he tensed up and soon he got used to it as well.

He then told you that this was all new to him. He has been with women but never had these feelings and how he hated but at the same time loved how unpredictable these feelings are! It has always been just to fulfill their physical needs.

He didn't dare to say anything as I like you or I LOVE YOU. He knew how you always say what you meant so you always put so much weight on these feelings. He cannot say it unless he KNOWS that he ACTUALLY feels like this.

"Having a tea party without me?" Kuina said coming from the room and rubbing her eyes. You giggled and gave her the rest of the tea even though it was cold now the sharing meant everything right.

"So what is the plan for today? We're actually doing it or not?" She asked Chishiya. "Doing what?" you butt in because he always involves you in everything they did.

You could see that Kuina made a mistake by asking this in front of you. "You'll know soon enough," Chishiya said not making any eye contact with you.

It triggered your survival instinct and your mind went straight to the fact that this is CHISHIYA after all. What if your views about him were correct? What if you were actually JUST A PAWN?

————————————

Chapter 9

The air was filled with panic as Natsu and Lucy stumbled through the portal, hands clasped and trying to navigate through the onslaught of people around them.

Amongst the chaos Lucy could see Wendy tending to the Master, his body laid out on one of the tables, her glowing hands hovering over his abdomen as Mirajane went to call someone.

Other members were looking after the injured and unconscious mages as best as they could until Wendy could check their injuries over. Thankfully no one seemed to be severely injured.

As her adrenaline dropped Lucy started feeling dizzy, the noise surrounding her was becoming overstimulating and the room began to sway.

Chest heaving, Lucy took shallow breaths as panic kicked in and her legs gave out from underneath her.

A pair of warm arms were around her waist before she could fall. His chest pressed to her back, warming her from the inside out. The scent of pine and campfire filled her senses and subdued her anxiety.

"I gotcha, just breathe." She heard his voice in her ear as she focused on mimicking his breathing pattern. "There ya go. Relax, you're safe."  He continued in a soothing voice as she relaxed into his hold.

Lucy let her head fall back on his chest and closed her eyes.

They stayed like that for a few moments. Natsu's hands around her waist, her head resting near his collarbone as she took deep breaths.

Her eyes closed as she embedded every part of how it felt to be embraced by him while trying to prepare herself for what was to come.

"Could you get Erza, Gray, and Mira? There's something I need to tell you." Lucy whispered out softly knowing he would hear her even with all the noise surrounding them.

"Sure, I can do that. Happy'll stay with you." He told her, his tone confused at her request, but compliant.

Lucy opened her eyes at the mention of their blue-furred partner and looking back at Natsu she saw the cat perched on his head, eyes wide as they both looked at her with worry.

She hadn't even realized he was there.

"Hey, Happy! Sorry for missing your big move on Charla, I was a little tied up." Lucy tried cracking a joke in the hope of lightening the mood.

"Waaa, Lushiii! Never disappear like that again!" The exceed exclaimed with a cry, tears falling down his face as he threw himself into Lucy's chest.

Smiling, she embraced the cat, rubbing his head in soothing motions. "I'm sorry for worrying you."

"Natsu was scary when we found your apartment trashed. He left me behind and I had to go to the guild on my own!" The cat complained and she kept scratching his head as she watched Natsu walk away to find Erza, Gray, and Mira.

"Oh you poor baby, how about I get you some fish later, will that make you feel better?" She asked, making the cat jump from her arms and into the air, wings fluttering.

"Ayee! Give me the fishies!" His antics brought a genuine laugh out of Lucy who watched him as he continued to go in circles and tried to decide which fish she should buy for him.

"Luce?" Natsu's voice called from behind her, and she turned she saw he had gathered everyone she asked for.

"How is the master?" Was the first thing Lucy asked, as she was not able to unsee his lifeless body in Mira's arms.

"Wendy tried her healing, but she isn't sure what happened to him and couldn't seem to do much, so she started tending to the rest of the injured members. We're waiting for Porlyusica to arrive, she will know what to do." Mira's voice cracked a bit a the end, and she cleared her throat before continuing.

"We don't know what happened to him. One second everyone was fighting and the next Master was dropped on the ground from the upper floor, unconscious." Mira answered, her tone staying neutral, but Lucy could see how worried the older girl was, and she felt her stomach drop.

All of this is her fault.

First Levy, Jet, and Droy. Now the master and countless others were injured, just because her father decided he had a daughter again.

"Natsu said you wanted to speak with us?" Erza asked her when Lucy didn't say anything else.

Turning to look at them, she took a deep breath and braced herself.

"I haven't been completely honest with you." She started, wringing her hands together as she started her story.

"The reason Phantom Lord attacked Fairy Tail, and took me hostage, was because my father hired them to bring me back home."

She stated, turning her head to the side so she wouldn't have to look at their expressions at her words. She clenched her fists to keep her emotions in check.

She will not cry, not again.

Natsu, as if sensing her emotional turmoil, moved to stand by her side. Their shoulders were not quite touching, but he was close enough for her to feel his warmth and its calming presence helped soothe her nerves.

Straightening her posture she continued.

"I ran away from home almost two years ago. It was just after my eighteenth birthday and I had been begging my father for months to let me study at an actual university after being home-schooled for all my life." She's never told anyone that she was a runaway, let alone the hows and the whys. But it was unavoidable now. He's made sure of it.

There was a gasp from Mira, and as she turned to look at them she caught Erza's soft gaze. "He called me to his office one evening, and I foolishly hoped he'd let me go." Her voice cracked at the admission, and this time Natsu moved to wrap his arm around her shoulder, bringing her back to his chest.

Lucy was thankful for the drakon's affection, his hold grounding her as she continued. "When I got there he handed me a marriage contract, my marriage contract."

This time it was everyone's turn to gasp, she felt Natsu's hold on her tighten.

"He arranged a marriage for you without consulting you?" Gray asked, outraged clear in his voice. "This isn't the 1500s'!"

A bitter laugh escaped her throat at his statement. "My father has never cared much of my opinion. Why would this be any different? He is not a kind man, my father. Maybe once upon a time while my mother was still alive, but even then his affection was mostly reserved for her.  After her death.."

She trailed off, knowing now was not the time for that. "Have you guys ever heard of the Heartfilia Family?" Lucy asked them instead.

"Aren't they like ducks or something?" Natsu asked and a laugh escaped Lucy at his words.

"Duke. Duke Jude Heartfilia, and the late Duchess Layla Heartfilia. They are descendants of the royal bloodlines. In line for the throne, though they are pretty far down the line."

"Why are you telling us this?" Mira asked her.

"They have a daughter. I remember the announcement of the passing of the late Duchess, the guild was in mourning." Erza spoke suddenly, eyes looking over to Lucy.

Lucy's heart clenched at her words, knowing Master Makarov was mourning the death of a friend.

Lucy felt even worse with that knowledge.

"Yes, they do have a daughter. Lucy Heartfilia. My father decided that marrying me off to Pergrande so he could secure a safe trade route for himself was the most of use I was ever going to be to him."

She finally said it out loud, and it felt like a weight was lifted from her. After two years of running, she finally found somewhere she felt safe, and people she could trust.

"So after he went over all the details and dismissed me for the night, I decided that it was time." She shrugged her shoulders.

"I'd been pondering and planning an escape for years, but it always seemed like a fantasy. Something I would do to make myself feel better, lighter." She thought back to how scared she'd been climbing down the window that night, praying no one saw her.

"This was a situation I couldn't talk myself out of, he was very determined to make the marriage happen. So the same night I packed as much as I could carry, scaled my window, and ran until I literally passed out in the woods." She was shaking with emotion as she remembered how she ran so much her feet bled.

Her first months in the real world were humbling, and it was then that reality kicked in. There were people out there worse than even her father.

There was a moment of silence as she finished her story, she let them process everything and ask their questions.

"So you've been running this whole time?"

The first question came from Gray.

"Yes, I've moved locations ever so often since, trying to keep a low profile everywhere I go. But since I never heard word of my disappearance I thought I was scot-free." Lucy answered. "How stupid of me."

"How come no one ever recognized you?"

"After my mother's death, he rarely let me leave the house, and I was forbidden from making public appearances, of any kind." She told them, answering Mira's question.

He made sure to keep her as isolated as possible, cooped up in her castle, surrounded by staff and tutors.

Lucy moved from Natsu's hold and bowed at the waist in an expression of regret. "I want to apologize to all of you, and the guild for all of this. If I had been honest from the start, maybe none of this would've happened."

Lucy wanted them to know she felt awful about her father's actions. "I don't know why he's decided to track me down after all this time, but this was not the way he should've done it." She muttered looking down at the mark on her left hand, tracing it with her finger.

There was a gentle hand on her shoulder and Lucy looked up to see Erza's kind eyes staring back at her. "We are not responsible for the actions of others. You have done nothing wrong, Lucy. You needn't apologize." The older girl told her, giving her shoulder a comforting squeeze.

"Yeah, you did what any normal person would in your situation. Or at least what I would've done." Gray chimed in, shrugging his naked shoulders casually.

He seemed to have lost his shirt while she was talking.

"I'm just scared of what he's going to do now that Phanotm failed to bring me to him." Lucy admitted in a small voice.

"I already told ya, ya ain't goin' anywhere you don't want to. And no one here is going to make you! Dukes or Ducks or whatever the hell can piss off! You are Lucy of Fairy Tail now, and we protect our own!" Natsu threw his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into his warmth once more as he spoke.

Lucy felt overwhelmed with emotion.

That seemed to be a recurring theme since discovering her magic and joining Fairy Tail.

She looked at all her friends, grateful to have them in her life.

"Everyone has their secrets, and we understand why you wouldn't want people knowing who you are." Mira told her, smiling kindly.

The tears finally escaped, and Lucy cursed inwardly, she vowed not to cry.

"Thank you for understanding. I feel so guilty about everything that's happened." She finally managed to find her words, her voice still a little shaky, but she felt better.

Like a weight had finally been lifted with her admission. 

It was at that moment that an old woman, with pastel pink hair and a sour expression, entered the guild through the glowing doors with a bang.

'A portal.' Lucy thought.

"Where is that ridiculous man? What trouble has he gotten himself into this time?" She asked as she beelined to Mira and Erza.

"This way, thank you for coming. Wendy's already tried to help, but she can't seem to figure out -" Mira was talking to the woman as she led her through the guild and to the Infirmary, where the Master was relocated.

The tension was back in the air as they all watched the two women walk away, pondering over the Master's well-being.

"I'm going to go with them, see what I can find out." Erza excused herself, giving Lucy one last shoulder squeeze as she went up the stairs.

"And I'm gonna go see if Wendy can check out my back. Are you gonna be okay?" Gray asked her as he rubbed the lower part of his back.

Lucy smiled at him, shooing him off.

"Go, and make sure to remind Wendy to rest and not exhaust herself!" He saluted her and promptly left her Natsu alone.

"Do you think I could go and see Levy?" Lucy asked the pinkette, who without a word, grabbed her hand and pulled her up the stairs, and toward the guest rooms.

* ********* ********** ********** ********* *

She cried even more when she saw her friend lying beaten and unconscious in one of the guild's spare bedrooms. Natsu by her side offering her comfort.

Lucy understood where her friends were coming from saying she shouldn't blame herself for other people's actions, but staring down at the sleeping bluenette she couldn't help but feel responsible.

They left the room not long after they came, not wanting to disturb the injured girl.

The scene downstairs had seemed to calm down while they were visiting Levy. Most of the guild members were awake and back on track, with only a few occupying the Infirmary room.

They made their way to where Happy was and joined him at one of the tables. They didn't speak, just sat next to each other, waiting for someone to come back with news about Master Makarov.

There was a somber mood surrounding the whole guild, everyone worried about their Master and their Nakama.

Even Natsu was silent, sitting next to her with a rigid posture and she could feel the heat coming off of him in waves.

He turned his head suddenly, looking at the stairs, and as Lucy turned her head to follow his line of sight she saw Mira, Erza, and Porlyusica appear a second later.

All three had grave expressions on their faces and Lucy's heart sank as she braced herself for the news, darting her hand to grasp Natsu's for comfort.

"It seems that whoever attacked Master Makarov, literally stole his soul from him. We need to get it back, and quick." Erza relayed to the guild.

Mira's eyes were puffy, an indication that she's been crying. Lucy shot the older girl a small smile.

"I called Laxus and the Thunder League, They're on their way back from their job in the Lycan Woods, I don't know when they'll make it back." Mira added softly.

"I've done all I can for him, but we need to put the soul back for him to heal." The pink-haired woman proclaimed curtly as she made her way through the guild, Stopping at the door she summoned a portal. "Call me the moment you retrieve it and I'll be there." And with that, she left.

Leaving Fairy Tail in a state of shock and fear.

The Master was dying. His soul has been stolen by someone from Phantom, which means they're gonna have to go and fight them. Again.

'What kind of magic allows a person to do such a thing?' Lucy thought with a shudder, not wanting to think about what other despicable powers might be out there.

She also dreaded another encounter with Jose, especially after the way she escaped. She had a feeling he wasn't the forgive-and-forget type.

Discussions and shouts were echoing throughout the tavern as everyone debated on what their next move should be. More than half of the guild was ready to march back to Oak Town, seeking vengeance for their Master and to help save him.

While a smaller part argued that they needed an actual plan, not just to run straight into the fight.

As the mages went back and forth, some even started brawling over their differing opinions,  a blast shook the building, knocking everyone to the ground in the process.

Natsu's instincts came in handy, as he gathered both Lucy and Happy in his arms and pulled them under their table.

The ground started shaking underneath them and as people got to their feet, they started rushing out of the guild to see what the hell happened.

Natsu was at the forefront, having sprinted away the moment the shaking stopped, leaving Lucy and Happy behind.

Lucy got up and followed behind everyone, her instincts telling her nothing good would come from this.

When she exited the tavern Lucy looked up to see the highest point of the guild was hit, their flag disintegrated by the blast and some of the debris was falling from the roof. Rushing after everyone she neared the back of the building where the crowd was gathering.

That's when Lucy saw the Phantom Lord's castle walking towards them. Walking. With spider-like legs protruding from the sides as it stalked through the forest and straight for Fairy Tail.

"What just happened was a warning shot, courtesy of my lovely Jupiter Cannon. You have fifteen minutes before it recharges to hand over Lucy Heartfilia or the next shot will blow you, and  your precious guild away!"Jose's voice boomed through the speakers as the building stopped some distance from the crowd of Fairy Tail mages.

Lucy felt her heart drop at his words.

She looked around at everyone, they looked confused at his request but determined to fight, not even sparring a thought to giving her over.

And that's what set her resolve. No one else was getting hurt because of her. Head held high Lucy made her way to the front of the crowd, stopping as she started down the Cannon, which seemed to be counting down from fifteen.

"I am complying with your demands. Stop the Cannon and I will go with you." Lucy shouted at the structure, desperately trying not to shake with fear.

There was a hand on her shoulder, and suddenly she was being pulled back and Natsu was in front of her, she could feel the anger radiating off of him as he glared at the building. Erza, Mira, Gray even Elfman appeared next to her.

"You want Lucy, you're gonna have to go through us! And we're not letting her go!" Natsu yelled, and the whole guild cheered at his words.

Lucy felt her tears return as she watched her guildmates yell in agreement with Natsu. She couldn't believe the whole guild would fight for her. She didn't know how to feel, overwhelmed with emotions as the tears fell down her cheeks.

There was a cackle from the speakers and the Phantom Lord master taunted them. "I will take great pleasure in taking down your pathetic little fairies!" And with that, countless ghoulish apparitions flew from the building and started attacking them.

"We need to disable the Cannon, it's the only way. Come on, everyone else can handle themselves, we need to go."

Erza ordered the three men as she started sprinting towards the Castle.

Gray and Elfman followed without hesitation, running right behind her.

Lucy saw Mirajane next to her transform into a devil-like creature and viciously start fighting the ghouls.

Natsu hesitated as he looked at her, worry clear in his eyes. "Go, I'll be fine! They need you more than me, I  apparently have a whole army looking out for me." Lucy told him as she gestured to the guild fighting off the apparitions around them.

Natsu's brows furrowed at her words and he narrowed his eyes at her, She's only seen that appraising look on his face when he was facing down an enemy, and Lucy found herself blushing in the middle of the battlefield at the intensity in his eyes.

"I need you to be safe, okay?" He told her tone deadly serious, his eyes never leaving hers.

Lucy gulped as she stared back at him. She had a plan. It was stupid but she had a plan and she couldn't promise him that. He will forgive her,  she's sure of it.

So instead of answering, Lucy drew him in for a hug, using his surprise to sneak her keys into his pocket.

Either way, they'll be safer with him.

He hugged her back tightly and then turned to dash after Erza and the guys. Calling for Happy as he ran.

"Aye Sir!" The cat flew over her head, ruffling her hair as he did so, catching up to Natsu, he picked the fire drakon up and they sped off to stop the Cannon.

Lucy watched them as they disappeared, hoping they'd destroy it in time.

Though it was Natsu, Gray, and Erza. They had a knack for destroying things, she thought with a small smile. She had faith in them, they would succeed and come out on top. There was no other choice.

A ghoul suddenly charged toward Lucy, and having no time to take out her whip it almost got her, if not for a flash of light aimed at the creature that killed it.

Lucy turned to see Cana, cards in hand as she threw them at several targets at once.

"You need to get out of here and hide, we'll take care of the rest!" The brunette shouted at her.

"I am not going to hide from this! I will fight-" her sentence was cut short as someone hit her in the back of the head making her pass out.

* ********* ********** ********** ********* *

Waking up with a mild headache, Lucy looked around to see she was in a car, on her way out of Magnolia. She looked at the driver's seat to see Reedus speeding down the road.

"What are you doing? We need to go back and help them!" Lucy shouted as she climbed from the backseat to the passenger's.

"I had clear orders from Mira, get you out of the city, I don't want to be on the she-devil's bad side." The curly-haired man replied, shudder at the thought of Mira going after him.

"I can't let everyone else fight this battle for me! I have to at least fight beside them, please Reedus, you have to understand." Lucy pleaded with the man.

He looked at her from the corner of his eye and let out a sigh. Stopping the car on the side of the empty road, he turned to face her.

They were almost at the edge of the city, and given it's a Sunday afternoon, there thankfully weren't any people around.

"We need to keep you safe, the guild can take care of themselves. Someone will call us when it's over, it's safer this way I promise." He told her with a soft smile.

Lucy was about to protest again, or even book it out of the car to try and run back to the fight. But before she could do either a steel rod broke through the windshield, knocking Reedus out cold and making Lucy scream out in shock.

A tall, dark-haired man appeared on the other end of the rod, it seemed to be an extension of his arm. He was grinning at her, a wild look in his red eyes.

The steel retracted back and turned back into a normal arm. 'What the hell was this guy?' Lucy thought to herself as she struggled to unbuckle her seatbelt.

"Gihi, what do we have here? A little fairy thought she could run away?" The man taunted her as he neared the car.

Finally managing to unclasp the buckle, Lucy opened the car door and broke into a run. She hoped Reedus would forgive her for abandoning him, as she didn't have a better choice at the moment. There were no other cars around and Lucy decided to book it through the forest by the side of the road.

The dark-haired man's laugh was sinister as he followed after her.

"You can't outrun me, Princess!" His voice was getting closer as she stumbled her way through the trees, like a lamb running from the wolf. "Unfortunately for you, Jose wants his prize. So I have no choice." There was a shadow over her as he appeared behind her, Lucy didn't have any time to process his words before she was knocked out.

Again.

* ********* ********** ********** ********* *

"10 minutes to detonation of the Jupiter Cannon." An animatronic voice echoed through the halls.

"Fuck!"

Natsu was beyond frustrated at this point. This was the third dead end since he entered this ridiculous building.

"Where is that stupid Lacrima?" Natsu mumbled under his breath as he continued to wander the halls.

Happy was perched up on his head, keeping quiet as he didn't want to further irritate the fire drakon. Erza had ordered Gray, Elfman, and Natsu to find the Lacrima and destroy it before the Cannon could charge, but this whole place is like a maze, how is anyone supposed to find their way?

He suddenly caught the scent of fire and followed that. He could use a good meal at least, he's been walking around forever.

As he stepped into the room where the smell was coming from, Natsu spotted the Lacrima Crystal that charged the Cannon.

"Gotcha!" He smirked and lit his fists on fire.

As he went to charge and destroy the power source, his fists moved upward on their own accord and Natsu punched himself in the face, knocking Happy off his head in the process.

"You okay little buddy?" He asked, looking over to the cat as he caught himself on the wall.

"Aye! But what was that Natsu?" The exceed asked.

"I am Totomaru, one of the element four! And no fire can defeat me!" A voice boomed, and a young man with black and white hair, and a tattoo going over his nose and cheeks appeared from behind the Lacrima.

"I don't have time to deal with you!" Natsu told the strange man, ignoring his words as he charged at him, fists aflame.

Only to be decked in the face by his own hand once more. "The hell?" He yelled annoyed.

"I told you, no fire can touch me! I am the master of all fire!" The man exclaimed and threw a blast of fire towards Natsu, who in turn slurped up the flames.

"Ugh, yuck. You call this crap fire? It tastes awful. At least I have a fire in my belly." Natsu grimaced at the taste of the fire, rubbing his stomach. His opponent in turn was staring at him, mouth agape.

"You just, you just ate my fire?!" He yelled in shock, pointing an accusatory finger at Natsu.

"Well duh, what else was I supposed to do?" With a shrug of his shoulders, Natsu took a deep breath and prepared for his next attack.

"Fire Dragon, Roar!" He sent an inferno at the opposing mage.

The other man flicked his hand, directing the fire around him and smiling back at Natsu.

"Are you slow? I told you already that fire doesn't work on me!" He taunted back.

With a frustrated growl, Natsu lit his fist and went to attack. No one controlled his fire but him. With a determined cry, he went to hit the split-haired freak but his fire was redirected once more and Natsu was blown back by his own flames.

"5 minutes to detonation of the Jupiter Cannon." An automated voice rang through the room, making Natsu remember his initial objective, he needed to destroy the Lacrima.

"How many times are you gonna try the same trick? It's not going to work." The man stated, sounding bored.

"Natsu you need to knock down the Lacrima or the guild's gonna be destroyed!" Happy yelled from somewhere behind him.

"I know, I know!" Natsu huffed in response, he looked back at the annoying fire mage appraisingly.

"Fine. If I can't beat you using my flames, I'm just gonna have to do it the old-fashioned way." Cracking his knuckles, Natsu went to attack again, this time sans fire.

"What you think you're just gonna-" His fist interrupted the rest of Totomaru's sentence as he sent the man flying back and into a wall.

"You got lucky with that one. Let me show you what a member of the element five can do!" The man boasted and started accumulating his magic, focusing it on one point before sending an inferno at Natsu.

Slurping the fire, he noted that this one wasn't as foul-tasting as the last. "Thank you for the meal, and you called me slow. It looks like fire doesn't work on either of us."

Natsu smiled at the man as he approached him. "What are you gonna do now?"

The man started back at him, eyes wide in disbelief and he could smell the fear on him, with a smirk, Natsu threw his head back and head-butted the two-toned man, knocking him out flat.

"He was seriously getting on my nerves." Natsu grumbled as he moved back to finally strike the Lacrima, throwing a fireball that shattered the crystal into pieces.

"You did it Natsu!" Happy yelled out as he flew over his head.

"2 minutes to detonation of the Jupiter Cannon." The voice echoed once more.

"I destroyed it! How is the thing still charging?" Natsu asked in confusion.

Just then, he felt a twinge of a headache and heard Warren's voice in his head.

"Natsu? Can you hear me? I just got word from the others. There seem to be 5 Lacrimas that are powering the Cannon. Elfaman destroyed one, as well as Gray and Erza. There are two left." The telepath relayed to Natsu, who cursed inwardly.

"There is one Cannon left. Do you know where it is? I lost time in this maze of a castle trying to find the first one!" He thought back to the man.

"I can sense you in the east wing. The last remaining Crystal is located on the west wing. Elfman managed to take down Sol, of the element five, and Gray is currently fighting the water woman of Phantom. There are two members of the element five left, and one of them is the mage that stole the Master's soul, so be careful and get to the Lacrima, quickly!"

Warren told him, and Natsu sprinted out of the room before he could even finish relaying all the information, Happy flying behind him as they raced toward the last Crystal.

"What about Erza? Where is she?" Natsu asked, dread filling his stomach.

"She's joined the battle out front." There was a pause, and somehow Natsu could feel his hesitance.

"Natsu, she plans on taking the hit if you don't make it on time." With those words, the connection between them was cut, and Natsu ran even faster as he tried not to think of Erza and her stupid sacrificial tendencies.

* ********* ********** ********** ********* *

Lucy was tired of waking up groggy and not knowing where she was. How many times is this now? She wondered if all mages got kidnapped and knocked out as much as she looked around.

She was not in a car this time or a cell, she was lying on the ground in what seemed to be some kind of throne room.

'Of course, Jose would have a throne.' Lucy thought with disdain as she got up on her feet.

"You're awake just in time for the festivities." She heard his voice coming from the other end of the room.

Turning she saw Jose, and the black-haired man who grabbed her enter the room.

Jose went straight for his seat on the throne perched in the middle of the room, while his gorilla went to stand by his side.

"I was very disappointed in you, Lucy, and the way you behaved after my most generous offer." The auburn-haired man tutted at her. "It will not go unpunished, but first I want you to witness the fall of Fairy Tail." He started laughing as he gestured to the man by his feet.

The younger man moved to open one of the curtains and Lucy saw the guild fighting those ghoulish things. "10 seconds to detonation of the Jupiter Cannon." A voice echoed throughout the building, making Lucy's heart drop.

'They didn't make it in time.'

Jose was laughing like a maniac as the voice continued counting down.

"Nine, eight, seven, six" Lucy was transfixed on the fight below her, watching her fellow guild mates scatter around in panic as the voice counted down. "Five, four, three"

She saw a flash of scarlet, and Erza appeared in an armor Lucy had never seen before. It was heavy-duty, with a giant shield.

She wasn't actually going to try and take the blow?

"Two, one. Firing Jupiter Cannon."

"No! No, Erza!" Lucy screamed as the Cannon fired directly at where the scarlet-haired woman was standing, shield in place as she channeled magic towards it, a determined look in her eyes as she braced herself for impact.

[deadly-poets]

Baby, I'm Dangerous.

SUMMARY: Don (Y/N) is a well known cartel boss, her connections with Don Eladio became very well visible. She is a close family friend of the Salamanca family ever since she started to do business with Don Eladio, knowing Don Hector and various nieces. Especially the one that stands out the most, Lalo Salamanca, a bastard was his title from the woman. When Lalo comes back from Albuquerque with Nacho to see Don Eladio, he meets (Y/N) once again.

NOTE: This is a one shot! :) I was very much thinking of making this a fic but I'm not sure if others would enjoy it, but if you're interested, I would definitely make it a fic :)) or just one shot request <3. You may request a Don!Reader x Lalo one shots! Or even with other bcs characters :D. This is short because It's late at night and I'm tired 💪. Enjoy tho?

Word Count: 980

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Spanish Google Translate, Slightly OOC Lalo.

PAIRING: Lalo Salamanca X Don!Female!Reader.

✧˖°.(Y/N) FOUND HERSELF NEXT TO DON ELADIO, listening to him talk to Don Juan. 

The woman did not seem interested, as they only started to talk about Gustavo Fring, a cartel affiliate of theirs. 

What she heard had made a little mistake which made Lalo a little suspicious of the man.

With a big gulp of her drink in her hand, she felt her throat burn at the bittersweet taste of the alcoholic drink in her hand. 

She had to drink something to keep herself from falling asleep from all the standing, hoping to god that the day would end faster than it would.

Silence merged between the two men when he heard a familiar voice come into the distance, Lalo Salamanca was greeting the people around him, flirting with every girl in a bikini he saw. 

“¡Mira quien es!” (Look who it is!) Don Eladio exclaimed, watching as Lalo approached them.

(Y/N) wasn’t too happy to see Lalo, hell would you expect her to be. 

Lalo had his usual shit-eating grin upon his lips, looking at Don Eladio. 

“Don Eladio” was the words that escaped his lips, embracing Don Eladio in a hug like two siblings being reunited for a dinner party.

“Sabía que los americanos no podrían retenerte” (I knew the Americans couldn’t hold you) Eladio said as both males let out laughs, (Y/N) sighed, knowing she was going to need to get along with Lalo. 

When the Salamanca noticed, he returned the charming smile of his.

“Don (Y/N)! Look at you, all dolled up for me?” Lalo teased, only making the female bite back her tongue from sending death threats to him. 

Lalo lets out a chuckle, proud to get this reaction out of her, but he was hoping to get out of more than potential death threats.

Lalo had shaken Don Juan's hand, having a small talk about his arrival back home, thinking that he paid off the gringos to get him back here but Lalo had his ways. 

He peeked at the stack of wrapped cash neatly placed on the table. He smacked one of them, feeling the plastic wrap.

“¿Qué es tado esto?”(What’s all this?) Lalo questioned, looking back at Elaido and Juan. 

“Es lo que me trajo Bolsa de Fring”(it’s what Bolsa brought me from Fring) Eladio replied, Lalo raised his brows, nodding like he was impressed with what Fring had sent Eladio, Fring's men wrapping the money nicely like that, but Lalo knew his gift was going to be more impressive than Frings.

When the time came, they found themselves walking in front of Eladio’s house to see a brand new red car, it was impressive to see what Lalo had planned for the cartel boss like he was spoiling him with all his money. 

(Y/N) watched Eladio trace his fingers across the smooth surface of the red car.

Her (E/C) eyes glazed at the car, It was a nice car indeed, she wouldn’t even imagine giving Eladio this kind of gift like the cartel boss might have deserved. 

“Are you jealous?” Lalo queried, trying to examine her facial expressions but they were unreadable. 

“Jealous? Why would I be jealous?” (Y/N) sneered at his question. 

“Jealous that I’m not spoiling you like Don Eladio” He smirked, letting those words sink out of his teeth into her mind, Jealousy was not what a feeling that (Y/N) felt at all, she wouldn’t have cared less of what Eladio received. 

“Like I need your money, Eduardo” The woman hissed at him, Lalo felt tense hearing her call him ‘Eduardo’ but he seemed to like it. 

After what felt like hours, Eladio found the trunk of the car which in this newer car model was on the front of the car. 

Eladio called it the 'Frunk', letting out a laugh, he opened it to see a yellow box with a red sparkling now on it. 

He lifted the top of the box to see a bunch of cash stacked nicely like he liked it. 

(Y/N) hates to admit to these things but she was impressed with this amount of ideal setting for him. 

Like Lalo and Gustavo we're having some competition, who was best at giving gifts to Don Eladio. 

"You're the man!" Eladio exclaimed in Spanish, pointing at Lalo, only making the cartel man have a smile plastered on his lips at the words that came out of Eladio's mouth. 

"Did you hear that? I'm the man" Lalo said to (Y/N), making her chuckle at him. 

"Yeah, yeah. Don't rub it in on me, Eduardo" She said, crossing her arms, watching Eladio admire the car and the money in awe. 

Lalo knew that she hated when he would rub his victory in her face, that Eladio now would favor him over her. 

But he just couldn't help it, teasing the cartel boss was always his skill, and it was fun to piss her off like this. 

(Y/N) was a hard woman to please, Lalo knew that from the start, from the very beginning, he fell hard. 

He fell in love with a woman who would break his heart to a million pieces, and he LOVED it.

[toaverse]

An AU based on this post, in which the triplets somehow get de-aged back to their five-year-old selves and think Isabela is their mother because of her resemblance to Alma?

Yess!

Like all the other de-aging AUs, Mirabel had a secret gift.

That gift was (accidentally) de-aging people :/

It happened when the triplets decided to catch up after dinner, and asked Mira to get them drinks, since she wasn’t near the kitchen anyways.

Of course, Mirabel was happy to do so, and gave the triplets each a glass of water. Nothing else.

But in the next moment, Mirabel heard the voices of little kids…

“Where’s mamá?” She heard a little boy ask from the dining area.

Mirabel rushed back, and saw with her own eyes that her Mamá, Tía and Tío were turned into 5 year olds…

She panicked. Mirabel immediately gathered the rest of the family, showing them what happened.

The triplets were quite confused upon seeing so many people around them. Who were they? Where’s Mamá?

But that all changed upon them seen Isabela…

“Mamá!” The triplets called out happily, running towards her.

Isabela was quite shocked. What? Her Mamá, Tía and Tío were turned in kids? And why were they calling her Mamá? She didn’t even look like- Oh…

“Mami, you wanna bake?” Julieta asked.

“You look pretty!” Pepa said.

And Bruno simply cling to her dress.

Isabela couldn’t help but shiver. Did she just became a parent? Did she just replace Abuela?

For weeks, Alma, Mirabel and Camilo tried to turn the triplets back to normal, while also leading them away from Isa. But both were no use…

The triplets just didn’t turn back, and they always followed Isabela, thinking that she was their Mamá.

Eventually, the family gave up, figuring that there was no use…

Alma struggled a lot with this. Her babies have been turned back into 5 year olds, and now see Isa as their Mamá. Making her a Bisabuela…

Agustín and Félix especially had it difficult for obvious reasons. They’re basically alone now, since their beloved wives were gone…

And Isabela? She basically got thrown into motherhood when she least expected it… But, no matter how difficult things may get, she always had her family’s back.

As for the triplets and how they see each family member…

They see Alma as their Bisabuela who’s nice and kind to them :D

Tía Lola (Dolores) and Tío Mari (Mariano) are Bruno’s favorite Tía and Tío!

Abuelo (Agustín) and Abuelito (Félix) are also obviously liked by the 5 year old triplets (but they sometimes ignore them? Why? :( ).

Tía Lu always let’s the kids ride on her shoulders or back! :D

Tío Milo always makes the triplets laugh whenever one or all three of them have a bad day.

Tía Mira teaches them how to sew and always watches them when they’re in town :D

Their primo Antonio let’s them play with his animals, and they’re really nice!

And their Mamá (Isa)? She’s the triplets favorite! :D

But for now I hope a snippet works <3

LES GET IT (づ￣ ³￣)づ

-----

Antonio was nervous. Really nervous. It was his baby's, Mirabel, birthday. Her fifth birthday to be exact. It had already been five years since she was given back to him. And of course, per the Madrigal tradition, she was given the chance at a gift. But that wasn't what worried Antonio. What worried him was how it would go. While he wasn't there the first time, he certainly remembers his own and the hushed stories of Mirabel's first one.

Antonio paced the hall. It was almost time. It wasn't even his ceremony and he was terrified. He suddenly was stopped in his tracks when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking behind him, he saw his parents.

"Antonio, you have to relax," Felíx said, holding his son still. "It's going to go fine."

"But what if it doesn't? What if something happens, what if she's disappointed again or worse-" Antonio cut off when his mama grabbed him by his cheeks.

"Antonio. I promise you, nothing bad is going to happen. Me and your papá and the rest of the family will make sure of it," Pepa said. "Ok?" Antonio reluctantly nodded.

"Y-yeah. It'll be fine...right?" Antonio asked and his parents nodded.

"Right. Now. Me and your father are gonna go, alright? Mirabel should be down any minute," Pepa said and with that, both she and Felíx were off.

Antonio watched them walk off when he heard the familiar giggling of his daughter and the pitter-patter of her feet running down the hall. As if on cue, she came around the corner, with several birds surrounding her. They dispersed once she ran into his legs, almost taking him down.

"Papá!" Mirabel exclaimed, hugging Antonio's legs.

"Hola mija," Antonio smiled, picking her up and kissing her chubby cheek, eliciting a giggle from the girl. "Are you excited?"

"Uh-huh! I'm gonna get a super cool gift, like you!" Mirabel beamed, and Antonio laughed, but deep down? He was terrified. He only wanted his daughter to be happy. He couldn't bear to see her upset or sad.

The two talked and laughed for a bit longer when they heard Abuela begin talking. Antonio guided Mirabel towards the curtain, gently adjusting her bow and straightening her dress. With one last kiss and a pinch of cheeks, he moved to the side, and the curtains opened.

He watched Mirabel and...she just stood there. Her eyes were wide, and she fiddled with her dress. She looked around, backing up a bit. Antonio pushed at her feet, but she didn't budge. She looked at her papá and Antonio's breath hitched when she held her hand out, her eyes a silent plea.

Antonio debated on going out there. This was her day but...she had done the same for him a decade before. And there was no way he would leave his daughter to be terrified and alone. Taking a deep breath, he walked out, grabbing Mirabel's hand.

"Let's go get you your gift," Antonio whispered gently and Mirabel nodded, holding her father's arm.

As they made their way to the stairs, Antonio looked around. He could see the sympathy and pride in his family's eyes. It made him glad that they weren't so jumpy around the topic anymore. He was so scared that they would've been upset or worse, but instead? They were nothing but supportive. Sure, it took them a minute to get used to (especially his tia and tio) but they quickly got used to it. And they adored Mirabel all the same.

It didn't take long for them to get to the top of the stairs. Next thing Antonio knew, Mirabel was touching the candle and her bisabuela was smiling warmly at her as she asked her that fated question.

With a small nod, Mirabel stood in front of her door. She glanced at Antonio for reassurance, and he nodded, smiling at her. Mirabel nodded back. She pushed up her round glasses and wiped her hands dry. Antonio chuckled lowly. She still had sweaty hands, even now.

Everyone in Casita seemed to hold their breath as Mirabel touched the door knob. To everyone's relief (and maybe even surprise), the door glowed brightly, and some of it even seemed to reach Mirabel.

The light died down and everyone eagerly peeked at the door, wondering what gift was given to the girl who had already been denied once. There, on the door, was Mirabel. And there were butterfly wings attached to her back. As soon as her door had come to be and everyone saw her door, they looked towards Mirabel.

And there were wings. Butterfly wings. She was looking at them, and then they were fluttering. She looked at Antonio and she moved towards her, her feet leaving the ground every so often as she got used to her new wings. She fell into Antonio's arms and beamed up at him.

"I can fly!" Mirabel said, and Antonio blinked before picking her up.

"Yee," he laughed, lifting her into the air. Her wings fluttered much more confidently now. "Yes, you can!"

The crowd erupted into cheers, congratulations all around. Alma had the biggest smile she's had in a while as she turned to the crowd. "We have a new gift!"

The other Madrigals immediately moved upstairs, hugging Mirabel and pecking her cheeks with kisses. Even her little cousins were excited, even though they weren't quite old enough to understand like the older ones.

Antonio held Mirabel as she hovered slightly above the ground, already getting used to her new gift. He kissed her forehead, giving her a warm smile. "I'm so proud of you mija."

I HOPE YOU LIKES THISSSSS RAHHHH

Something New, Something True - 3

Synopsis: Newly married and newly pregnant? Ay, life is never simple for Isabela Madrigal...

Turning his head to bury a kiss in his hija’s hair, Agustín smiled when she mumbled something incoherent in her sleep and nestled deeper into his embrace. It was rare she let him hold her like this, rare she fell asleep on him, but she was going through so many changes and she was so worn out at the minute that it surprised him little and he certainly wasn’t going to complain. She and her hermanitas were all so grown up now, even Mira was only a matter of months away from turning twenty which he tried not to think too much about, and none of them were all that eager for his company nowadays and so when they wanted him it pleased him to no end.

He pulled the blanket his daughter brought with her a little tighter around her, not wanting to her to get cold, and when he looked her way again he sighed. It was still hard for him to get his head around the fact she was going to be a mamí before the year was out. In his mind, she was still his little girl and even though he was so impatient to be an abuelo and watch her blossom as a mother he also hated that time had gone so fast. He felt he took for granted her younger years, that he didn’t spend as much time with her as he probably should have done since he was so ocupado and Luisa came along not long after her, and it was something that he regretted.

He remembered everything about the night she was born as though the events only took place mere days ago. Juli was in slow labour for almost three days with her, unable to sleep or think about anything other than the pain she was in, and seeing her like that and being unable to do anything for her was absolute torture for him. It only got harder for him to remain calm as her labour went on and he heard her start crying out, but luckily he had Bruno and Félix there with him and they both managed to keep him from punching a hole in the wall. He doubted doing so would have scored him many points with his mother in law, so he was thankful to them.

It must have been the early hours of the morning when the doctor came to him and told him that it was over. He could remember running from the room the second he heard the baby was born and going upstairs, almost slamming into Alma somewhere along the way, and his whole life changed when he crept inside the bedroom. Julieta had to tell him to go and join her on the bed, he spent so long standing near the door because he was truly unsure as to what he was meant to do in that situation, and the moment he sat down he saw their lovely little girl’s face. He cried unashamedly then, both from relief and sheer happiness, and he still didn’t care at all.

He thought he knew what love was when he met and then later married his wife, but the love he had for their daughter was like something he had never experienced before in his life. It was so intense it left him unable to form a coherent sentence and he made Juli laugh with his stammering. It was when she let him hold her in his arms that he truly fell in love with her, her warm weight and tiny hands and gentle little squeaks, and he made a promise to her then and there that he would always love and keep her safe. Of course, she had no idea what on earth he was going on about back then and she still had no idea he made that promise, but he honoured it.

He honoured that promise to her the same way he honoured it to her hermanitas.

He adored the three of them, that was all there was to it, and he would spend his entire life doing so.

Her moving in his arms with a soft murmur of discontentment pulled him from his thoughts after a while and he looked her way again, smiling at seeing her looking up at him from where her head rested on his shoulder. “Ay, I didn’t mean to fall asleep,” She chuckled, her voice still rough with sleep as she brushed her hair out of her eyes and sat up a little. “Lo siento, Papí, I haven’t been getting much sleep at night and so I’m tired a lot.”

He shook his head. “Don’t be sorry, mi princesa, your mamá was the same when she was pregnant.”

“How can something so tiny be giving me so much trouble already?” She smoothed a hand across her belly.

“Being a papá has taught me it’s sometimes the smallest things that cause the most trouble.” He smirked.

“Perdóneme, I was a delight when I was little.” She feigned hurt.

He laughed at that. “For me, you were always un ángel but you and Lolita liked to scare your mamás to death sometimes. I remember once, the two of you decided to play hide and seek without telling them and they both spent hours looking for you. You were only about three or four at the time, so you were still inside the house, but you were both so small back then that you managed to squeeze into the tiniest space and they couldn’t see you. You gave up hiding in the end and I remember you being so contenta that you won, but your mamá and tía were so upset with you both that neither of you got any galletas that night. You never did it again though.”

“You could have snuck me a galleta,” She pouted. “You always used to do it and still do!”

“Ah, but that would have gotten me into trouble with your mamá too and I wasn’t going to do that.” He said.

She snorted. “Don’t tell me she scares you.”

“I love her, I really do, but you have never seen your mamá get so upset with someone that she starts speaking full español,” He shuddered. “I have only ever seen her do it twice, but that was genuinely more than enough.”

Shaking her head at him, she moved closer to him on the sofa and curled into his side as her head fell against his shoulder again. It made her smile when he placed a kiss on her forehead and she draped an arm across his stomach, curling a hand into his waistcoat. “I was brought up so well and I am so thankful to you and mamá for all you taught me and all you did,” She told him in a quiet voice, letting him put his arm back around her. “I know I was hard work while I was growing up and…and I know I gave you a hard time sometimes, but you were always so patient with me and I want to be like that with mi bebé. I want to be as good a parent as you.”

“Amor, you are going to be a brilliant mother,” He soothed. “And you are going to make us all so proud.”

“But how can you be so sure of that?” She tilted her head back on his shoulder and looked up at him again.

“Because you have never done anything but,” He smiled, stroking her cheek. “Never…”

TC!dad!JK

you wonder what that consort had to say to you. could the consorts be conspiring against you? “mira” you say to yourself, making sure you remembered who she was so when you see her later on you’d pull her aside.

“mama mama mama babaskknajk” babbles jawon and you can’t help but kiss his chubby cheeks. “cmon bubba. lets get you cleaned up” you coo before tending to your one year old.

after finally getting your son together, you hand him to another trusted maid before heading to the culinary area with your two very excited daughters. “okay girls, we’re gonna bake bungeo-ppang and cookies!!”

“ouuu, can we make strawberry cheesecake cookies? papa loves those” says areum “of course. now grab those aprons and let’s get to it”

🧁🧁🧁

kings and queens from far and near gathered in goryeo for the grand feast and a fun game of polo. the kids were playing with their friends, the guests were enjoying the pastries, and the atmosphere was so refreshing.

meanwhile, you were putting the final touches with your hair and lathering yourself with your favorite lavender and vanilla scent. “hmm…i guess that looks fine” you say turning from side to side in your mirror debating on whether you should change your dress or not.

suddenly there’s a knock on the door and in comes jungkook who has been dying to get his hands on you again.

“hey, how do i look? do you think i look good? i think i might change—what’s wrong?” you ask bringing your hands to cradle his baby face. but you know what’s wrong. he misses you and you want to giggle because it hasn’t been that long since you last seen him but to him it feels like forever.

Your husband lets out a dramatic breath as he looks at you, grabbing your waist, he pulls you closer to his body and sniffs your scent.

“Wow look at you… you are Gods greatest creation my love.” He presses a kiss on your cheek, “you know I missed you a lot.” He whines. Jungkook moves his heads and tells you that you don’t need to change.

“Baby I kind of regret in inviting so many guests, and holding a grand feast when I could’ve just stayed with you here..” he doesn’t leave you.

“But I guess, it’s only about for a few hours- also tell me what you cook??!!” He grabs your hands and inspects them. “You didn’t burn your hands or anything?” He is so focused on your body, looking at you up and down.

“I can never get enough of you, I love you so much.” He presses his lips into a passionate kiss.

And then finally he reluctantly pulls away. “You-You took away my breath jungkook- like you took mine away when I saw you, my love.” He winks and you roll your eyes.

“You’re so annoying.” You laugh and he shrugs.

“Let’s go, and you look so handsome too.” You finally notice his matching colour clothes.

“We look good yn, now let’s join the feast.”

Mirabel AU / Mirabel Angst / Mama Mirabel / Part Four

The following day Mirabel was back to taking care of Antonio by herself, which she preferred. She was surprised at how lonely it was without her primito. Mirabel had made sure that Antonio knew he wasn’t allowed to touch any supplies at the boutique, and she brought other toys for him instead. While Mirabel was mending clothes, sometimes Tonito would just sit beside her and watch her. One day while Mirabel was taking a break and eating lunch with Senora Gabriela, Tonito had clung to the chair and pulled himself up all the way. He was standing! Though not on his own, he supported his weight against the chair, but Mirabel was still so proud of him. She picked him up and littered kisses all over him, praising him for doing a good job. Gabriela was excited too. It was magical seeing a baby stand up for the first time. They grew so fast in the first couple of years of life. When Mirabel got home she made sure to set Tonito down in the living room and played with him. She wanted her Tia Pepa to see Tonito stand up “for the first time.” When Tia Pepa arrived home Mirabel was reading Tonito, one of his animal books. When Mirabel saw Pepa she quickly had Antonio crawl to his Mami. When Pepa saw him crawl towards her she smiled and loved on her little boy. Then she decided she would dedicate some time to playing with Antonio. While Pepa sat down on the couch she watched as Antonio grabbed onto the leg of the couch and pulled himself up so he was standing. She smiled excitedly and called Felix and her kids to show them what she had seen. They all gawked over how cute he was. Felix held his hand and helped him toddle around the living room. Mirabel smiled at the sight and then went to her room to crochet, which is one of the few things she was allowed to do in the nursery her room with Antonio living there.

As time went on Antonio started trying to form actual words. Mirabel was secretly hoping that his first word would be Mira, but at the same time hoped it wouldn’t be so her Tia Pepa didn’t get angry with her. Though fortunately and unfortunately, his first word was not Mira. It was a day when Senora Gabriela had to close the shop because her husband was sick. Her mami’s cooking could only do so much. It minimized the symptoms but he was still contagious. Nonetheless, Mirabel took advantage of the break. She was able to catch up on mending some of la famila’s clothing. Isabella had a ripped dress from thorns on a rose bush, one of the donkeys ripped off a part of Luisa’s skirt, her papi had ripped his shirt on some lumber that he had chopped, and much more. While she was mending, Tonito was playing with one of his stuffies while babbling. While he was playing though, he was pulling on the stuffy’s arm a bit too hard and the stitches broke. The arm ripped off. When little Antonio saw this he burst out into tears. Mirabel put what she was working on down and cooed Antonio. She pulled him into an embrace and quietly assured him that everything would be ok while littering kisses on his head. Antonio's sobs eventually turned to whimpers. Mirabel gently set him down and grabbed the stuffy. He watched intently as she put the stuffing back into the arm, and started stitching the arm back to the body. Mirabel worked silently, focusing on stitching the arm back on properly. Eventually, she did finish, made a knot at the end and cut off the extra thread, and gave it back to Antonio.

“See hombrecito? Good as new!” She said while Antonio took a second to process what happened. He smiled and started hugging the stuffy. 

“You’re just like your mama, it’s the little things.” She laughed. Antonio giggled with her and babbled.

“Mama!” He exclaimed. Mirabel's face went from content to excited to terrified in an instant. 

“No no no no no! I’m not your mama,” she said while grabbing a picture on the mantle. She pointed to Tia Pepa, “This is your mama.”

“Mamama” he giggled.

“Yes, this is your mama.” She points to herself, “I’m Mira.” He scrunched his face up and thought about it.

“Mama.” He said with a proud look on his face.

“Mira. Mi-ra. I’m Mira.”

“Mama,” he pouted.

“Follow me Tonito, ‘Mi’.”

“Mi” he repeated.

“Ra”

“Ra”

“Mira.”

“Mama!” He giggled. At this point, Mirabel was panicking. What would she do? What could she do? Sometimes Mirabel felt like she was closer to Tonito than his own mother, but she’s not nearly important enough to have the title “mama.” She calculated a plan in her head, maybe it was just Tonito repeating random sounds. She could figure this out. She can give Tonito to her Tia and leave quickly, and then eventually Antonio will just babble and say mama to her. He says his “first” word, Tia Pepa is happy, and nobody gets hurt. That was the plan. 

“Ay Tonito what am I going to do with you?” she asked the young boy. He just blinked at her and giggled. She had no choice but to spoil him with love and affection. As the day came to an end, and the adults were arriving home, Mirabel made sure to continue to show Tonito pictures of his mama, trying to get him to associate his mama with Tia Pepa. She could only pray that it worked. When Tia Pepa got home, Antonio was dressed in a red shirt and orange overalls. She immediately saw her baby boy, who was practically toddling by now and gave him a big squeeze. Mirabel smiled at the cute interaction, she could tell that Tia Pepa was happy when the sky began to clear. Mirabel quickly sneaked away so nobody saw her. This was her chance. She listened closely, trying to hear what Tia Pepa was saying. She couldn’t make it out because she was busy helping her mami set the table, but she was hoping that Tonito would hurry up and call Tia Pepa mama. Dinner was ready and little Antonio still hadn’t said, mama. Mirabel internally panicked but tried to hide it. She just ate and watched Tia closely. Tia Pepa would’ve announced to everyone that her hombrecito called her mama for the first time if it happened. It didn’t though. So instead Mirabel sat quietly throughout dinner. Afterward, Tia Pepa fed Tonito his bottle in the living room. Mirabel just sat there awkwardly, watching her feed him until he finished and did the cutest little burp. Mirabel had to hold herself back from cooing at him. She could never figure out how he managed to be so cute. Tia Pepa got up and stood in front of Mirabel.

“You don’t mind putting Tonito to bed for me, do you? I really need to rest after today.” Her Tia Pepa asked. Mirabel wanted so badly to ask Tia Pepa to do it herself, so that way she didn’t have to hide the fact that Tonito said his first word until tomorrow, but instead she sighed.

“Of course, Tia.”

“Gracias Mirabel.” She said with a grateful smile on her face. She went to put her hombrecito in Mirabel’s lap when Mirabel’s worst nightmare happened.

“Mama!” Tonito said while putting his arms out towards Mirabel. Immediately clouds formed above Pepa’s head as it sank in. She looked at her niece, in anger and sadness. Why would Tonito call his prima his mama?

Who made you think I hate you?

Ler pepa lee mirabel

NO sexual activity!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Pepa was walking on the casita floors when she heard a few sniffles and a silent crying

Pepa being pepa she went to go investigate to see what’s going on only to find a crying mirabel

She gently sprinted towards mirabel,hugging her then holding her face up and wipe her hair out of the way

Pepa gasped as she saw mirabel’s eyes were red and puffy

“oh mi pequeña sobrina ¿qué pasa bebé?”

Translation: oh my little niece, what’s wrong baby? The ginger asked in a worried tone

“Nothing, Tia really” mirabel tried wiping her tears but it was no use

Pepa felt In the need to know so thoughts and thoughts kept going through her head on what to do to make mirabel spill the beans

She got it…

Pepa wrapped mirabel in a tickle hug and gently began to tickle her sides

“Hehehahah tihihahah whahaht ahre yohohu dohohing?” Mirabel still puffy eyed but laughed

“You know what I’m doing” she smirked

“No I dONT” the 15-year-old’s voice pitched as she felt her tia’s hands scribble fastly on her sides

“BAHAHAHSHAHHA NOHOHOHOHOHOHO PLEHEHHEAHHAHASHE” mirabel dug her face into her tia’ s chest

“Awww how cute, you’re so adorable”

“FIHIHIHINE IHIHIL SAHYHY IHIHIT JUHUHUST PLEHEHAHHASEH STAHAHP” and with that pepa stopped and gave her some kisses

She took mirabel to her room and sat her on her bed, mirabel still flustered from the tickles before but none the less explained how she felt

Pepa nearly cried to her statement

mirabel sadly admitted that she felt that her tia never really noticed her in any way (e.g would always dance with isa or singing with Luisa) and she started to cry again

Pepa quickly hugged mirabel and after an hour and a half of explaining that she truly loved mirabel and some stories of her as a baby and pepa finally managed to convince mira that pepa really loved her

After a moment of silent, pepa raised an eyebrow and spoke “you know maybe I should give u a punishment for thinking that way”

Mirabel looked at her Tia as if she grew two heads

“W-what..?” Mirabel questioned

“Maybe I’ll let my FINGERS DO THE TALKING” with that she blew a raspberry on mirabels stomach making mirabel fall on her bed in hysterics

“AAAAAHAHAHAHAHSVSHAHJAHA *squeal* NAHAHAHAH *hic* WAHHAHAHAIHIHIHJT”

It was going to be a loooong night

And for those wondering mirabel got many tickles from Pepa and Felix

Mira’s POV

"Don't look at me like that," he growled, pacing back and forth in front of my bed, "I know what you're thinking."

'I didn't say anything.'

"You don't have to," he hissed. He stopped and looked at me, "I don't know what to do. As soon as she started to reach for me I-"

'I don't want to know what freaky stuff you and Jade did, Loki.  Her craziness is beyond me.'

"That's just it, I couldn't do anything," he admitted. I cocked a brow at him, and he nodded, "I joked about it, but then she started trying to undress me again and I just bolted...I ran away from her, like some scared little boy."

'And you came here? To me?'

"Oh don't act so surprised," he muttered, "I know I gave you the power so that you wouldn't have to struggle communicating, but I know that you can see certain things about my life...you can see into my own mind just as much as I can see into yours...there is a kinship here and you cannot deny it, Lady Mira."

I shrugged, unsure of how to describe what it was that Loki had been talking about.

Yes, ever since he had helped me, I was able to read people a bit easier. Honestly, they didn't even have to really talk to me. If an emotion was strong enough, I saw it.

Like when Bucky told me about Kenzie.

It wasn't some simple kiss like he'd told me. I could feel the hunger that he had pushed deep down. I could feel the need.  I could see that there was a piece of him that wanted her, whether it was through mutual understanding, or genuine passion.  He’d tried to push it away, but he felt a stronger connection with her than he ever felt with me.

I wasn't what he was looking for.

They could connect in ways that he and I would never be able to.  And I saw that.

I'd just let myself believe as much because I'd been here so long. He'd started being kind to me, and I guess in a way it was kind of like Stockholm Syndrome. I begun to sympathize with him.

But that's also why when he told me I told him that I wanted to go stay in the basement with the rest of the girls.

The guilt in his eyes.

The anger that I wanted to leave.

I knew he saw me as an enemy then.  As just another person that wanted to leave him because he wasn't enough.  But that wasn't it.  I tried to explain that, but he didn't want to hear any of it.  He went into a rage.

When he started yelling about it, the guys intervened. They came to the room, and I clung to Loki, like some small child. He saw the argument between me and Bucky. He saw how Bucky and Kenzie had kissed. He knew that while I was conflicted, I needed to distance myself.

And he understood.

That night he'd helped me take my things to the basement and get set up in one of the rooms. And ever since then, no matter where he was on the rotation he came and visited me every day.  He was practically the only person I allowed to stay in my room for more than a minute.  But he was someone I could talk to.  He was right.

Even in his Jotun form.

Which was something he wasn't proud of.  But when he realized that I wasn't afraid of it, he started getting more bold about it.  He allowed the guys to see him in his Jotun form.  But he was conflicted about Jade.  

We'd talked about that too.

How he didn't want Jade to see him like that.

He thought he was a disgusting monster on the inside and out and the Jotun form only enhanced it.  But I was glad that Jade had managed to let him see that she didn't think he was.

"Mira."

I looked up at him, 'yes Loki?'

"Why do I feel this way around her?"

I smiled and released a small laugh, 'do you mean why are you such a big baby?'

He glared at me for a second before looking back at his hands. Fiddling with them he concentrated a small amount of magic and began tossing it around as if it were a ball, "why does she do this to me? How can she reduce me so much so that I cannot even function as myself?"

'You're nervous,' I smiled. He looked at me, stopping the movement with the ball and I repeated it, 'you. Are. Nervous. You like her Loki.'

"Well I like you," he said in a simple tone, "and I'm not the same way with you that I am with her."

I rolled my eyes at him and fell back against the bed, 'it's not the same and you know it.  You like her in the way a grown man likes a grown woman and wants to take her to bed.’

"But I can't trust that," he said with a shake of his head, "I cannot fall into that kind of trust. You should know what it is like. How you trusted the captain and sergeant Barnes, and now you are here in a basement."

I looked down at the ground.  The images from feeling safe with Steve and him falling asleep in my bed to the date with Bucky replayed in my mind.  And before I could stop it, I felt a tear sliding down my cheek.

"I-I didn't mean it like that," he stuttered, realizing what he'd said, "Mira I-"

'You're not wrong, so don't apologize,' I sighed, wiping the tears from my face, 'I did trust Steve and Bucky. Steve turned into a bigger monster than him, and yet he made me feel so safe...and Bucky kissed Kenzie.'

"And he broke your jaw."

I looked up at him, unamused.

"Right," he nodded, "well that is my exact point. People let you down. We can't trust them, Lady Mira.  So how are you still so optimistic about it all? "

'Loki, just because someone's let you down before doesn't mean you lose trust in everyone.'

"Well of course you still have faith," he chuckled, patting my leg, "no matter what happens here, you'll get to live. Not the same can be said for your friends."

My eyes went wide as I looked at him. I had forgotten what I'd been told about 'the end of this session.'

'Loki?'

"What is it?"

'If I ask you to help me, will you?'

He rose his brow at me, "what mischief are you thinking of, pet?"

'Not mischief,' I thought slowly, 'but I was told that at the end of this 'session' that girls who don't get picked, get killed. Is that true?'

"Yes," he nodded, "One of the many rules of the lake house." 

'Loki you have to help me convince the guys to choose Dani, Cassie, and Kenzie. There's four of them and four of you. You've already chosen Jade.'

"I did not choose-"

'Shut up,' I said, rolling my eyes and cutting him off, 'everyone knows you like her. If the session was cut short today, you would take her with you.'

"So," he said defensively, "I...enjoy her company."

'I need you to help me make the guys choose my friends,' I pleaded, 'all of you have already reminded me...I'm off the board. If we can push Bucky to Kenzie....and Steve and Thor to Dani and Cassie all of my friends would live, right?'

"Pet, you are forgetting one thing," he chuckled, "you cannot force them to choose your friends. They choose based on how well the girls follow the rules. How receptive they are to them. My brother has an affinity for choosing women who breathe. That's his only requirement. The captain is far more choosy. He's already been up here for two sessions before they took you."

'Loki.'

"I can't force them to do anything," he replied with a shake of his head, "I don't know how you think this will force them to choose your friends. If they decide to call this a bust, they could kill all of your friends tomorrow, and there's nothing I can do to stop them. The only one I can protect is Jade."

'Well, promise me that at the very least you will protect her...if it comes down to it?'

"Of course I would,” he replied as though it were the most obvious thing in the world, “I would never let any harm befall her.  And I would gut anyone that tried.”

Kenzie’s POV

"B-bucky?"

He closed the door to my room and sat next to me on my bed. I put my book down. "Hey."

"A-are you okay?"

He nodded and continued to look straight at the wall, "yeah."

"Are you sure?"

"I don't know what to do," he said, shaking his head, "she just...she won't even let me see her."

"Mira." I nodded, feeling guilty over what had happened between Bucky and I.  I felt a pang in my chest as I felt no better than Cassie, when she took Jack from Mira.    

"Yeah," he agreed, "She's treating me like I'm worse than Steve."

"Trust me, no one is worse than him," I hissed, snarling at the mention of his name. I put my book on the nightstand and sat forward so that we were right next to one another, "she's mad that I kissed you...isn't she?"

He nodded, "she's down here now. Only really lets Loki talk to her anymore.  I tried when I dropped off her food this morning, but she wouldn't even look at me.  She made me leave after I dropped it off…wouldn’t let me talk to her."

"She is?" I asked, feeling my features show my surprise, "wait, she's actually down here?  And she's really alive." 

"Yeah," he nodded, "why is it such a surprise that she's actually alive?" 

"I-I want to see her."

"I don't think that's such a good idea, doll."

"Please?"

"She's in the gym. With Steve."

"She's letting him near her?"

"Yeah," he replied solemnly. He put his hands on his knees and ran his vibranium hand through his hair, "it's fucking with my head...I mean I could stand it if she only let Loki around her...but now she's back to letting him near her too?"

"You said she isn't talking to him though."

"She isn't," he groaned, "but she's around him and that's enough."

"I'm sorry Bucky," I sighed, "I know what that's like."

"What?" he asked, "Your relationship being ruined by both of your best friends?"

I felt a pang in my stomach as he referred to the situation like that, "that's not fair."

I watched as his nostrils flared, "you know what she told me when I explained myself? She said that he wasn't meant to be with me. That she was just something that helped my guilt go away. Just another person I had to make amends with."

"I'm sorry."

"And fuck, maybe it's just me going soft after all these years," he sighed, hands finally going to grab his own head, "maybe it's the feelings I developed for her and she's wrong...but I know what this loneliness is doing to me...and I don't know how much longer I can stand it. No one to talk to. No one that will listen to me."

"I'm listening to you."

"But you have to," he replied, pointing around the room, "you can't go anywhere."

Instinctually, I found myself touching my scar along my throat and his gaze shifted away from me.

"I could have tried again, you know," I muttered, "when Steve cleaned up my room...he didn't clean everything up. I found glass behind the sink. I could have gone through with it and had no one stop me."

His eyes snapped up to mine, "what?"

I reached across to where my nightstand was and opened the drawer. Reaching inside I grabbed the mirror shard and put it on his lap. His gaze continued to look from me to the piece of mirror, completely horrified.

"I know what that loneliness is like, Bucky. It's like a tidal wave that pulls you under, and then when you feel like you can breathe and you've finally hit the surface, another under current rips through just below, dragging you back under. I felt that way ever since I was little."

"Why?"

"I love my sister," I said slowly, "but sometimes being a twin has it's disadvantages. People always compare you. If Dani got an A people would ask ‘why did you get a B?’ If Dani is captain of the squad, why didn't you make captain too? It's a different kind of loneliness, one that puts a chip on your shoulder. I don't know your relationship with Steve...at least only what has been put out into the media, but I feel like it's a lot like the one Dani and I share. Both of you were super soldiers. Steve was the golden boy. You were put through mind-numbing techniques that took away who you were until there was almost nothing left. When Steve raped me, it did something to me, Bucky. It was a literal translation of everything in my life. I bent over and took it. I went through my life pretending I was okay with everything. Had to be perfect. Had to act a certain way to make up for not being good enough. For not being Dani.  When I cut my throat a few days ago...I felt something. I felt the pain. I felt the heartache. I let myself feel everything that I shoved deep down inside myself so that others would feel comfortable..."

"Kenzie..."

I looked up into his eyes and his normally stormy eyes were lighter. They seemed almost silver from the tears that had glazed themselves over them. I felt my own tears holding themselves at bay as I tried to read what it was that he was trying to say.

But words seemed to fail the both of us. It was no secret that he'd felt differently about Steve then the media portrayed them. I'd seen it up close as they glared at one another going down halls or when it was time for them to switch places.  Maybe it was Mira. Or maybe he felt like he was the lesser sibling.

Two soldiers. One golden boy who the country loved. One assassin who was disposed of until they needed someone to handle the dirty work. Yet both were expected to act as picture perfect idols.

"You shouldn't ever have to feel like that."

"Neither should you," I whispered, looking to the ground, "but yet, here we both are. Locked in gilded cages."

As he shifted, the shard of glass clattered to the floor, already forgotten in the moment of silent confessions. His hand brushed my cheek and I leaned into it, needing to feel close because it was my choice.

I mirrored his actions, lightly grabbing at the hair at the nape of his neck.

He gasped.

His vibranium hand landed on my waist, and he angled my body more towards his own. Our lips were barely touching. His breath hot on my lips, spreading to my cheeks, "I want to kiss you."

"Are you okay with that?" I asked. His eyes flickered from my lips, back to my own eyes. I gasped as I noticed all the different shades of blue hidden in them. He nodded, closing the space until our lips touched. I felt my eyes close as my lips parted, allowing him all the access to myself that he could want.  

Dani’s POV

"Alright," Steve said drunkenly. He slapped Cassie on the ass, and she giggled as they made their way back to my side of the laundry room, "I don't think I should keep you much longer than that."

She stood beside me and waved cutely at him as he tried to make it appear that he wasn't completely wasted as he left.

"That's disgusting," I groaned after he closed the door, "I can't believe you, Cassie."

"What?" she asked, "I'm playing the game, Dani. Maybe if you did then the guys would be nicer to you."

"I'm not playing nice with some gross rapists and abductors."

"Well, if you don't then they'll kill you."

"You don't have any proof of that," I growled, dropping the folded basket of clothes to the floor beside me as I picked up the next one, "stop saying that."

"Steve told me that yesterday," she smirked, "if they don't pick you by the time they have to go, it's lights out."

"Shut up, Cassie."

"Here's what I'm thinking," she smiled, "all I have to do is keep playing nice with Captain drunk ass and hopefully he'll do what Sam did with Brittany and take her to the main floor. Once I'm there I'm good as golden. Then when they take me to the city, I make my exit. He's barely even sober enough to walk half the time.  Lord knows he can only keep it hard calling me 'bunny'.  What the hell is that?  Some weird term of endearment?  He won't even notice until I'm long gone."

"I thought you had a thing for Thor."

"He clearly just wants sex," she muttered, "he's not going to choose anyone. I mean think about it Dani. I've been letting him have sex with me for weeks and nothing. I play the good little girl when he comes around and I'm still down here, with you, Jade, your sister, and even Mira."

"Mira is down here?"

"Apparently the guy with the freaky arm got tired of her and sent her back down here," she laughed, "and about time too. We all know she was getting special treatment because he broke her jaw...well guess he got tired of her quick when he realized she wasn't willing to let him use her other holes.   If I had a shot in hell, I’d go for him.  He seems desperate…At this rate the only one of us getting out of here is Brittany."

I stood there, staring at her, unsure of what to say.

Was that true?

Were they really going to kill us if they decided they didn't want us?

"HEY!"

I looked up to see Sam opening the door. "Sorry?"

"You girls are done," he said quickly, "Come on. Back to your rooms."

I looked around to see that Cassie had already left the laundry room. When I got to the hallway she was already waiting at her door.

"You don't want us to take that up stairs for you guys?"

"Brittany can grab it," he said slowly, "thanks for doing the laundry, ladies."

"Any time, Sam." Cassie winked, heading into her room. I groaned, going into mine. Going beside the bed I began to do some crunches. That was, until my door was opened.

"Lady Danielle?"

My head popped up from beside the bed and he raised a brow at me.

"I was doing crunches," I told Thor, "Sam didn't take us to the gym today, and I don't want to miss anything."

He nodded, setting a tray down on my desk, "well. Here is your dinner."

He stepped to the side as I got up and went over to the desk. When I sat down and looked back, I realized that he was staring at me.

"What?"

"Aren't you going to say thank you?"

"No," I said, rolling my eyes, "I'm not going to thank you for keeping me alive."

"Well then," he said simply. He sat down in the chair that was next to the desk, "I think I will sit here until you learn manners and can thank me."

"What," I growled, picking at the sandwich, "you and your buddies stop raping women after the first few weeks?"

He looked down at his hands and began fiddling with them, "I will admit, that was a low point you've seen of me."

"A low point?" I asked, raising my brow, "Rogers raped me and my sister. You've raped Cas-"

"I never raped her," he said quickly, "I've heard her consent any time she and I have had relations, Lady Danielle."

"I'm sure you have," I replied sarcastically, "was that before or after the words 'stop' occurred?"

"Usually there is a 'don't' before that 'stop' but-"

"If this is your attempts to be cute or funny you can stop right where it is," I growled at him. His smile fell from his face, "and you can stop pretending to be friendly with me. I know what you guys are going to do to us when your time is up...Cassie told me that you guys kill the women you don't take with you."

"Lady Cassandra has told you," he sighed with a shake of his head. He looked away from me and began to play with his hands again, "I should not be surprised."

"So why are you here then?" I asked, "I am not going to sleep with you, Thor. If you want open legs, head to Cassie's room."

"I do not think that I want to be with Lady Cassandra," he admitted slowly, "she-she is not what I am looking for."

"What?" I asked, "a woman that openly gives herself to you isn't what you're looking for?"

"Not when she openly gives herself to every man that she can."

"How do-"

"I was in the watch room earlier," he nodded, "I got to see firsthand what Lady Cassandra does behind my back."

"That still doesn't answer why you are here."

"I don't know," he admitted, shaking his head, "I just...you've slept with Captain Rogers, yes?"

"Not willingly."

"But you've slept with him."

"Yes."

"I just...I suppose I figured that you knew how I was feeling," he shrugged, "two people we had relations with had relations with one another and we both saw it first hand."

"I wasn't dating Steve," I replied, matter of fact, "and you weren't dating Cassie. Hell Steve's not even dating Cassie. She has a boyfriend in the city. She's dating Mira's ex-boyfriend."

"I'm aware that I'm not in a relationship with her," he sighed, "but it-it still hurts."

He scoffed after he said that, almost as if he couldn't believe that he was admitting it out loud, "it hurts?"

"Yes," he nodded, "it hurts. A lot. I didn't think that a mere mortal could upset me like this, but she has. She has upset me a lot."

"Well, you shouldn't be upset about her," I shrugged, picking up my sandwich and taking a bite. I tried to think of the best way to say it, but there was none, "she's a whore, Thor. Trust me when I say that you could do better than someone like Cassie." 

"Someone worth my time?" he asked.  I nodded, unable to stop myself from feeling drawn to him, "I want to give the world to someone, Lady Danielle. I don't want them to take advantage of me." 

I shuddered when his hand went to my cheek and slid down until it hit my collarbone.  I looked into his eyes, and suddenly, it was like I was seeing him in an entirely different light.  He wasn’t some cocky, self-assured god.  He was just another man. 

A beautiful man bearing his soul to me.

"Thor?" 

"Lady Danielle." 

And our lips met.  I smiled, entangling my hands in his hair.
