Stolen Soul and Love
Tumblr media
Valentino x fem!reader
warning : flirting, some fluff, inner strugle, obsession, falling in love in Val's own twisted way
Summary : One more meeting with the Overlords of Hell and he would have loved to kill himself, but he couldn't escape the responsibility any longer. The meeting was made all the sweeter when his red eyes settled on something he had never seen before pure love.
Info : THANK YOU ALL for the heart om my first HH work it means a lot. I'm glad you all enjoyed it so much and hoep you have fun with my future works
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He was a pimp, one of the three overlords who showed their power more than clearly every day. He had everything: hookers, money, souls and power. He was perfectly happy, I mean, he had the porn star from hell Angeldust and the TV demon Vox's ass was practically his. Everything the moth-like demon could want was his. But why did he have this gnawing feeling inside him, like a growling, a chirping, a buzzing, like a moth, a fucking moth looking for something.
But what was it when he had everything but that one gnawing feeling inside him when he saw her. He was inevitably summoned to the Overlord meetings and for once he couldn't avoid it because it was probably about something important.
The three Overlords entered the room with an engaging appearance and the moth demon made himself as comfortable as possible in the damned narrow chairs.
The meeting seemed to begin, the reports were always the same, the souls the same and the danger the same. ,,Get to the point, Carmilla darling, some of us have a fashion empire to run," Velvette muttered, glancing up from her cell phone, which made Vox snicker, who was probably more focused on his ratings, which had dipped a bit due to his nemesis Alastor.
Nothing a fuck can't fix, Valentino thought, taking a drag on his cigarette and letting the engulfing red smoke billow around him before taking a puff across the room.
He kept his hands off the smiling radio demon, however, who had only given the three of them a quick glance, and had to hold Vox to prevent his cute TV head from cracking another one.
Letting his gaze drift, his gold tooth flashing in the light of the lamps and inwardly wondering which was the best setting for the next porno, he heard the door open. All the overlords were there, so it could only be one of the subjects and enemies.
And actually he wasn't going to look behind his heart-shaped glasses but when he saw that sweet smell he just knew something wasn't normal. It was the sweet irresistible alluring attractive smell and no one else in hell had it but him.
The red eyes searched first for a demon of lust perhaps, something powerful but no he found only a simple demoness maybe a little cat-like as the fuzzy ears on her head indicated but otherwise like any normal inhabitant here in hell.
But why did she smell so good? What was it that he felt that he had never felt? He watched her as she walked with a silver tray under her arm to the respective overlords to order a few drinks.
It seemed as if he could see she was neither a robot nor a slave but rather one of Carmilla's protégés dark silver white clothes a pretty dress but a little too long for his taste. It didn't lack class, which a little smoke can't change.
With a grin he waited in his seat until she came to him and blew his heart out to her. ,,Aren't you a sweetie?" he grinned, ignoring her superior's gaze and having long since forgotten the conversation and the meeting.
She smiled slightly and the moth demon felt his wings needing to flap, moving his fingers almost hastily across the table as he slowly came a little closer to her.
He was nervous, a fact that shocked him.  ,,Pretty trick Sir Valentino... what kind of drink do you want?" she asked, not moving away from him and following the red smoke lightly with her eyes, which slowly settled around her but didn't seem to take her in. He didn't check her at a glance even though her sweetness was so close to him.
One kiss, one look, one lick with his tongue was enough and he knew what made her come. But no, he didn't. He just said, ,,Love potion with berries, dear" before the tall man stood up again, pulling back first and looking at her form from behind his glasses. This feeling inside him was something he thought couldn't be.
Nervous and twitchy...am I no or? his thoughts revolved around her at that moment and why his dark heart in hell still beat for anyone at all. Could it be, could it really be that the pimp and overlord could lose his heart to a simple demon? He didn't know, but the way he felt it was like back then.
He still vaguely remembered his former life of this body function when people fell in love. But he didn't have any more time to think about it when the door opened again after a few minutes and he saw that she had come back.
Several drinks were lying on the silver tray and he could just see his puinken with berries sticking out. ,,Thank you dear, say would you like to earn a little extra money, maybe even become the star at my side?" he smiled, shielding her from the others with his wings.
His hands slowly placed themselves on her shoulders, wanting to have her with him forever. ,,You're different from AngelDust, from the princess of everything here... you could be my star," he suggested, watching her red eyes as she slowly realized what he was alluding to, what he really wanted and what it meant for her. ,,Sir-Lord I mean Valentine I'm flattered," she stammered and suddenly he felt the arrogance return to him.
He knew demons knew that once they were so taken in, once they were flattered, it was easy, wasn't it? ,,And so beautiful," he complimented and let the smoke slowly close around her.
Carmilla may have taken her, but in the end you are mine, thought the demon as he brought the back of her hand to his lips, running his tongue over it in a surprisingly gentle, warm and inviting way.
He saw her embarrassment, how she couldn't pull away and didn't want to. ,,And do I have you?" he asked, coming closer to her and wanting her closer, not like Angel, but wanting her in a different way, always with him somehow.
Before he was suddenly pulled away slightly by her and landed back on his chair, ,,Hands off my employee Valentino!" Carmilla warned and Val raised his hands placatingly and rolled his eyes. ,,Not at all Carmilla, I only wanted to confess my unethical feelings to such a pretty creature," grinned Valentino, feeling himself turning back into the demon he knew.
Before he spread his wings in warning and walked past the overlords with a broad grin. ,,See you around, pretty," he murmured with a wink before his wisp of smoke announced his departure and the moth demon withdrew from the meeting.
With his very own recognition of this meeting. He had to possess this beauty in one way or another and he had truly fallen in love, one more reason for him to get her soul and her heart when she had long since stolen both from him.

With Luffy!? (Monkey D. Luffy x fem! reader)
A/N: I just need more inspiration! send requests! - Val
Words: 1,130
Tumblr media
A normal day at the Sunny is about to change when it lands on a new mysterious island. Y/N and Zoro are the first to go to the town to get supplies. 
Before the rest could leave the ship, a little boy runs through the low deck. The kid giggles and runs everywhere until he stops in front of the crew and waves his little hand. 
Nami, Usopp, Robin and Chopper stop and stay still as their eyes follow him. 
“Hi!” He smiles and runs again. 
“A kid?” Chopper asks. 
“How?” Then Usopp. 
“Doesn't he look..?” Nami starts. 
“Like Luffy!” Robin smiles. 
*** 
They start with some questions when they catch him. 
“What’s your name, sweetie?” Nami asks with a smile. 
The boy giggles. “You know my name, Auntie Nami.” 
“Where are your parents?” Usopp says next. 
“I dunno,” he shrugs. 
“Are you sick or hurt?” Chopper asks. 
“No needles!” He screams and runs again. 
Now, he enters the kitchen. A couple of minutes later, Sanji exits the kitchen with the kid in his arms. The boy has a bottle of water. 
“Does anybody know where Joy’s parents are?” He asks the others. 
“Joy?” 
“Yeah, that’s his name.” 
Eventually, the others get together, and they all fall in love with the charming boy. Franky decides to make a highchair and immediately, baby-proof the Sunny. Brook starts to play his violin to him and makes funny songs. 
“I can’t help it, he’s really cute!” Nami squeals hugging Joy and pushes him to be cheek against cheek as he giggles. 
“Pretty Auntie Nami,” Joy points at her. 
“And so smart!” 
“Wait,” Usopp says walking to them. “She’s your auntie?” He points at Nami and Joy nods. “Who is she?” Usopp points to Robin. 
“Auntie Lobin.” 
“Okay so, the mother’s not here and we can’t ask where he came from or his birthday.” 
“Am fou,” Joy says raising four fingers. 
“Oi, Sanji! I’m hungry!” Luffy yells jumping and landing on deck. 
“Dadda!” Joy squirms in Nami’s arms to run to his dad. The kid holds Luffy’s leg and giggles “Hi, dadda!” 
“Uh—hi?” 
“I’ve never thought to live long enough to see Luffy with his son… Even though I’m already dead!” Brook laughs. 
“My what!?” 
The kitchen’s full of laughs from the crew and the little boy as Luffy keeps making silly faces, stretching his face, and playing with his food to make Joy laugh too. Of course, Joy loves his dad’s and crew’s attention. After a while, little Joy boy yawns and scratches his eyes.  
“I sleepy,” he pouts. “Wan’ my Mommy.” 
The crew share a tense look not knowing what to do. 
“Dad,” Luffy looks at him. “Wers Mamma?” 
“Uh—she’s...” 
“We’ve arrived!” You yell from outside. 
Joy turns his head to the door and squirms trying to get out of the highchair. Luffy frowns and helps him. 
“Mamma?” He says leaving the kitchen. The crew follow him. When the kid sees you, he smiles and runs to you raising his little arms. “Mamma!” You frown down at him as he keeps jumping “Up! Up! Pwease!” You let down the shopping bags and carry the strange kid.  
He holds you by the neck, leans to rest his head on your shoulder as he sucks his thumb and closes his tired eyes. 
“Awwww,” the crew sing at the cute scene. 
You look at them confused. 
“We leave you alone and you kidnap a kid?” Zoro asks completely lost. “And...” He leans to see the peaceful kid. “One that looks like Luffy?” 
“It’s a long story,” Robin says. 
“Has anybody else heard Joy say ‘mamma’ to Y/N?” Usopp asks carefully. 
“Joy?” You ask. 
“Hmm?” The boy leans back to look at you.  
“Oh,” You understand it. 
“Night-night?” He asks. 
“Uh—okay” You look at the crew waiting for an answer, but they all shrug. “Fine, I’ll put him to bed,” You walk to your shared room. “Wait, did you call me mamma?” 
*** 
“All right, he’s asleep. Now, explain,” you point at the others. 
“Luffy's son and mine!?” You squeal. “What? How? Why? When?” You look at Luffy and he only smiles. 
When Joy wakes up again, he says he wants to play with his uncles. More specific, with Zozo, Uso, Faky, Saji, Book and Fluffy (Chopper). Luffy pouts when Joy doesn’t mention him, but you take the chance to talk to him. 
“Why aren’t you freaking out? 
“‘Cuz I like him,” he smiles. 
“Luffy, please. You need to think about this. He’s a little boy, our little boy.” 
“Yeah, I know that. And I think it’s awesome,” he points to the low deck, where Joy’s playing tag with his uncles. “I know he looks like me, but he also does the scrunchy nose thing when he smiles, like you do.” 
“What?” 
“Yeah, and he looks like you when he pouts. Oh! He caresses my cheek like you do when we’re alone and I think you two have the same eyes.” 
The truth is that when you joined the crew, you couldn’t help but think about your captain differently. But the time showed you that Luffy doesn’t care or think about having a relationship beyond crew mate with anybody. 
Besides, that was a long time ago. 
That’s why you can’t believe (if Joy’s from the future) that you’ll have a kid with Luffy. But his words did affect you and moved so many things inside you, and, of course, you can’t deny that your kid is the most beautiful boy you’ve ever seen. 
“Luffy?” 
“Yeah?” 
“Do you know how to make a baby?” 
He frowns. “Uh… yeah. Why? 
“Just curious,” You walk away with a blush on your cheeks. 
“Les go night-night again!” Joy says holding Luffy’s hand. 
“Joy, wait. Dad has to sleep in his own room,” You stop him when he guides both of you to your room. 
“Good night, kiddo’,” Luffy says and walks away, but the cry of his son makes him stop in his tracks. 
You quickly carry him in your arms. “What’s wrong?” You ask him. 
“Dadda come night-night with mommy an me!” He yells pointing at Luffy. 
*** 
“Good night, Kiddo” 
“Night-night, Dadda, night-night Mommy.” 
“Sweet dreams, baby,” you kiss his cheek. 
You had to move Nami’s bed and put it next to yours so that all three could fit in. Although Luffy and Joy are fast asleep, for you it takes more time. You watch them as the moonlight shines through the room. 
You smile as Luffy moves and groans in his sleep, facing you and Joy. His arm moves and stretches enough to hug both of you closer to him. It’s quite crazy knowing that you’ll have a kid with Luffy, but you can’t deny that you could get used to it… anytime.

Our little secret
Tumblr media
Benjamin Denton x reader
summary: The Dentons finally feel comfortable leaving Benjamin home alone and out of the town, he doesn't waste this opportunity and invites you over to keep him company. warnings: light smut? requested by: @sandwichthatcomesinahotdogbox. word count: 792a/n: I've changed it a bit, hope you like it, love!
Today Dentons decided to go for a little trip to the nearest big town with their precious daughters, finally Benjamin’s auntie and uncle trusted him enough to let him a little bit of freedom, even if just for a few hours. The same minute they were out of Benjamin's view, he called for you to come to keep him company. (Or as he choose to phrase it, “to keep him sane”)
An hour later, you were sitting in his relative's house, looking around in wonder. You’ve never seen a house this clean in your life. The kitchen looked almost sterile, with every item in its place. Benjamin tried to be as careful as possible with cleaning the cups after you drank your tea. The poor man looked almost frightened to leave any evidence of using them, his sponge scrubbing furiously at the same spot over and over.
"Are they this much of a neat freak?" You chuckle humorously, thinking he’s overreacting a bit, but the look on your boyfriend’s face speaks louder than words.
"Wow!" You whistled lowly.
After almost three hours, you were starting to get a bit concerned with all this "don’t sit there" and "don’t touch this" and since you hadn’t seen your man for so long, it was hard to keep your hands to yourself. But he seemed a bit distant the whole evening, sharing only a couple of chaste kisses. You started to think he took a vow of celibacy at some point, but you respected him and did not initiate anything intimate if he had no desire for it.
So you sat and talked, until you found yourself captivated. You gazed at him lovingly. He ruffled his hair cutely, and you couldn’t help but feel the urge to give him a quick peck. You leaned in, but he turned away, and you missed his cheek, and instead your lips lended right under his jawline. He froze, like a deer caught in the headlights, and visibly gulped.
You giggled and tried to give him a kiss again, now aiming for his lips. Ben returned the kiss hesitantly, moving his plump lips in sync with yours. What started as a simple little peck turned into a heated make-out session very quickly. Suddenly, he pulled away from you as far as possible, raising his hand to stop you.
He closed his eyes, trying to calm his breath and increase his heart rate. You can’t. They could come back at any moment now. They’ll kill him. Maybe literally this time.
Your brows were knitted together in worry, eyes searching Benjamin’s features for any sign of pain or disgust. Does he not love you anymore? His eyes snapped open and you found them filled with… desire? You are beyond confused now.
He took a long, shuddering breath, running his shaking fingers through his hair nervously, "We can’t! Not here. Auntie Val and Uncle Harvey will be here any moment."
The room went quiet for a few minutes. You desperately tried to understand the man you loved and could barely recognize anymore, while he was putting all of his strength into not jumping on you just then and there.
You came to a realization of the dynamics in the family, and it all made sense now. What prudes they were. You’ve reached for him, but he all but jumped from his chair and turned away from you, facing the sink. He muttered something incoherently and ran his hand over his face. You stood up calmly and approached him slowly. Your hands snaked around him, hugging him from behind.
"You know that you can tell me to stop at any moment, right? And I will." He only nodded, not trusting his voice. "Do you want me to stop, sweetie?" You asked. He stood there silent for a minute and shook his head aggressively.
You leaned against his ear, your lips lightly brushing his shell, and whispered, "It will be our little secret..."
He gasped loudly.
As you left a trail of wet kisses along his neck, your hand slowly slid to his crotch and cupped his clothed member. He screwed his eyelids shut and bit his lower lip to suppress a moan.
Slowly, you started to stroke him through his trousers, and his body writhed under your touch, shuddering. He left a low groan. His slim fingers were gripping the table so tightly that his fingertips turned white. You felt ecstatic to have him like this, submissive, out of breath, a moaning mess, and all just because of your simple touch.
You were long gone when his family returned from their trip, no one noticed anything strange except for Benjamin’s good mood. He couldn’t stop smiling for the next few days.

it’s a new year!
Tumblr media
hello. long time no see.
to be honest, i wasn’t planning to write a new year’s post. i wasn’t sure as what to say because i didn’t want to come across as self-absorbed or unnecessarily critical and skeptical of the past, present and future. i’m used to keeping things to myself, and not sharing them is as much of a relief as it is a burden.
i must confess it’s easy not to say anything. it’s easy to lose myself in this plethora of unvoiced thoughts which end up being burried very deep within. i am not sure what was the primary cause behind my sudden change of heart, but why not...?
this blog was created as a way of me rejoining tumblr. i’ve always been in here, but i had spent some time away before returning four years ago. in january 2017, this became mainly a fan account for bts when it wasn’t meant to be at first. yet, it still became something personal and very close to my heart, and the reason was because i met amazing people in here. i learned things and reached personal milestones that impacted me positively on a daily basis.
we don’t even need to look in reprospect to know 2020 was far from ideal. i’m certain it has been this way for everyone. on my end, i spent my time erratically and i oscilated with the tide. i was extensively creative at one point, and because of that, i stretched myself too far and i couldn’t make ends meet. i socialized and made friends, and then it became too much for me to handle and i isolated myself. i became tired of myself like i always have.
the first thing i realized when it was finally january 1st 2021 is that what i’m actually tired of are things feeling pointless. i’m tired of trying to salvage the broken pieces of something i don’t even know why was broken in the first place. i’m tired of being on the verge of giving up, but not doing so because there has to be a purpose. the biggest realization to me was that i’m tired of all of the things i aforementioned mainly because those are self-centred sentiments which are never going to lead me anywhere but a dead end. the selfishness, the self-absorption, and stubborn lack of enthusiasm... those are the hindrances to whatever it is i want to accomplish. 
so, even though i’m lost and have nothing concrete to grasp on to yet, my main goal right now is to focus on loving more freely, on accepting happiness and sorrow as they come and go, on being a better friend. i haven’t accomplished many things thus far, but i met a lot of people whom i’ve come to love and appreciate beyond words. there are really special people who have paved their way into my heart, so thank you so much for so many sweet memories!
it’s a new year! hopefully we’ll move on to bigger and better things <3

Stripper Dear 3 (Mini Series) Valentino X Marie OC X Stolas
[Back with another part of stripper dear and this one will now have stolas in it for reasons we hope you all enjoy this chapter!] [This Has Turned More Into A Mini series Now so.) 
(Marie pov)
I managed to get out from Vals arms as I wince. My body was in so much pain, and I could see some of the bruises. I wouldn't mind if it was because we agreed to rough sex, but he never did say it would be that rough and it was because he got angry. I stepped into the shower washing myself and washing everything I could out of me just for comfort and cleanliness sake before walking out. The entire time I questioned my decision on moving in, on even working for that overgrown moth. I walked into the club to grab my purse when I see a familiar face looking around as I walk over.
"Hey Stolas." I said as he turned around perking up. "Oh there you are, I was looking for you, say, look at this." He said pulling out his phone as I smiled.
Every time he came here he'd show me and anyone else who'd look pictures of him and his daughter, although most of the time she was on her phone, or looked like it was a chore, you could tell she was smiling slightly.
"Oh that's very cute Stolas, did she get a new Hair cut?"
"Yes she di--" he stopped as I looked confused as I noticed his eyes were on my shoulder as my jacket was slipping off my arm showing the bruises as I quickly grab the sleeve and pull it up.
"Don't worry Stolas it's nothing." I said, not wanting him to ask questions
"It is clearly something." he says and takes my hand and looks at the bruise. "These are not love bites." He notes. "These are from someone using far to much force on you."
I tried to pull back a bit when he tried to look as he stopped.
"What happened?"
"..."
"..I'd like to rent a room for the day." He said suddenly.
"Your money man." The bartender said as he took me dragging me to the Vip rooms.
"We will sit here for as long as it takes." I stayed quiet for five minutes before realizing he was serious.
"Just... Val ...convinced me to have sex.. at first I did it b-because I didn't want to lose my job, then he was nice and kind but the second time.. he grabbed me in anger so hard it felt l-like he'd break a bone.."
He took my hands in his. "I am sorry my dear. That should have never happen. You deserve someone who would never hurt especially out of anger." He speaks softly
I looked down as I tried not to cry as he placed a hand on me as I grabbed him, holding him close. He always was a loyal and kind customer.
"What happened to make him so angry?"
".....I-It..I-I.."
"it's okay you don't have to--"
"I-I thought of you...and said it aloud without knowing.."
He blushed at that but smiled. "It is okay to think of someone else. May you tell me what you were thinking?" He asks and I blush darkly.
I shook my head, unable to even speak. There's no way. I'm not saying what I thought. "Oh come on do share."
"...I-I just.. felt you'd be ..better you're much kinder... a-and you wouldn't hold my job over my head.."
He smiled and cupped my cheeks then leaning down and kissing me. I blushed darkly as I let out a soft moan into the kiss as I wanted to kiss back but I was worried..then again he was so soft with it, stroking my face. It was so soft and loving in comparison to Val when he first kissed me.
I quickly wrap my arms around him kissing him back
He laid back with me on top of him and he smiles up at me. "Take as much as control as you need my love." He says and that sent excitement into me.
I looked at him shocked and excited as I bit my lip. "You mean it?" I asked as he looked at me.
(Well he may be a power bottom but he's still a bottom XD
(XD Yup)
"I mean it with all my heart." He tells me and I straddle his chest and then lean down to his neck biting and sucking gently. I felt so empowered.
It was nice..I never had any control., I didn't choose who I stripped for, the clothes I wore, I didn't really even get a choice to move in with Val, and here he is giving me control. I hear him let out soft sighs (I can't imagine feathers are something fun to suck on, but she don't care XD) I smile at him as my nails lightly run down his chest.
(we know Marie gonna tease this poor bird XD)
I then get off of him. "Get up and strip for me~" I order no one ever strip for me.
(XD and get a show out of it XD)
He looked at me shocked as i briefly worried he wasn't into it as I went to say he didn't have to before seeing his shock turn to one of happiness as sat me down as I felt happy once more as I watch him slowly stripping his clothes as I watch blushing but still sat tall as I lick my lip.
He smirked and rolled his hips to the music and soon her was stripped and I was in awe. I watch him as he slowly leans down to me and starts giving me a lap dance.
I blush but smirk at him. Sure it was a little awkward due to the..pretty massive height difference, but it didn't change anything, maybe actually make me feel more in control, as I grab him as he blushed but also smirked. I then pin him down and straddle his naked body and grind myself on him teasingly.
He let out a goran as I smirked at him. "Do you want to put it in~?" I asked smirking at him as he groaned nodding. "I don't know..I ran out of my birth control.. I didn't have to worry with Val, he can't have kids, but you, well you can~" I tease rubbing him between my lips. (Oh poor stolas)
"Please mistress~!" He begs arching into me before pulling back
I smirk leaning down and kissing his beak. "And why should I~? Convince me~" I said as I stroked his face. I was enjoying this power, but I didn't want to be mean, of course I'd let him put it in, he does want to.
He starts to kiss down my body than lifted me to be on his face and began to eat me out like a good sub. I moaned loudly as it obviously was full of need, but it was also so loving with him stroking my thighs as I let out a moan.
"G-Good boy~ y-You make me cum and you c-can put it in and take control~" I moan.
He lap even more focusing on my clit and I knew I would not last long
I grip his feathers as I tense suddenly as I came as I moaned, rubbing myself into his face to ride it out.
(he's talented with his mouth XD)
(XD Yes he is XD)
I get off of him and he smiles. "My turn~" He says and then spread my legs wide and Lined himself up with oh my he was even bigger than Val.
I felt a little afraid but we did make a deal, and he was so sweet to let me take control, so I had no issue with this. I give him a small nervous smile as he looked at me.
"oh, before we start, here this may help." he said as he took his cape, folding it up and helping to place it under me to elevate my hips slightly.
(I mean, that's his inner parent just like "Okay we don't want you hurt, we want you comfortable" XD)
(Stolas pov)
(He is a sweetie XD)
I smiled at her getting her comfortable and then slowly start to inch inside her. She moaned and arched into me. Gripping my hand gently. I smile and soon am fully seated inside of her. She catches her breath clenching around me. I held her hand in mine, lifting it to my lips. I didn't mind waiting for her to get used to me before I continued as my other hand pulled off her jacket, her shirt and her bra as I trace the bruises as she flinched as I frown.
I will kill him for hurting her like this. I will indeed. I loved her for so long I cannot stand by and let her be hurt like this.
"Please stolas...~" She moans. "Make love to me~"
I stopped at that as I then smirk as I kissed her, slowly pulling out to make sure she was in fact comfortable with me moving as she let out a bit of a shaky breath but relaxed as she moaned. "I-I was right~ Y-You f-feel so m-much better..daddy~"
I smile. "Always for you baby girl~ Get ready I am going to make you mine~" I tell her and thrust back in and she meets my thrust and cries out in pure pleasure.
She gripped onto me, her nails digging into me before she let go. "S-Sorry, I-I didn't mean to hurt you i-it just felt so good."
"It is okay, you did it out of pleasure not anger. I am okay with it my dear sweet Marie~" I tell her and she nods clings to me again and I moan picking up my pace and she cries out wrapping her legs around me pulling me even deeper. I grip onto her as I kiss her forehead as I could feel her walls clenching around me as I never felt so good~ I will admit, having sex in a strip club private room was not what I thought when I thought our first time..but I wasn't complaining~ (oh god here we go
"oh you sexy little thing clenching daddy so hard~ Such a good girl feeding daddy your sweet pussy~" He says. "Just what I needed will you let me feed your pussy it's milk~"
(Oh god why..why is that something he'd say XD)
(XD Because it is XD)
(like he would say that XD)
(XD Yes he would XD)
She moaned clenching onto me. "Y-yes~! F-Fill my pussy please~!" She begged clenching onto me. "P-Pour it a-all in daddy~" she moaned out
I smirked and we made love kissing and fucking and when I get right to the edge she cums hard forcing me to cum as well as she screams out my name in ecstasy. We collpase and I kiss her then hear the door bang open and a demonic voice.
"SToLaS!!!"
[YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS end on a cliff hanger. We hope you all enjoyed and stay sexy our friends!]

Goodbye brother
pairing: Sonny Carisi x reader (Sonnyverse) fandom: Law and Order Special Victims Unit warning: mention of death. Angsty af.
Tumblr media
To say she was embarrassed by the who ordeal that had been going down for he last couple of months, well, that would be an understatement. (Y/N) was mortified. First she had been accused by Sonny’s boss and colleagues about leaking the article she had been writing, early, and without getting the green light from them. Then they involved her boss who fired her. And when she thought she was safe in the comfort of her own home, well, she apparently wasn’t safe there either, as Sonny started yelling at her the second he came home. The icing on top of the whole shit cake that was currently her life, was the fact that she was completely innocent. Not that anyone seemed to care about that.
«I didn’t leak it Sonny! I’m telling the truth! Someone hacked my work laptop and sent it from there!» she had pleaded with her husband. But when he wouldn’t listen she shook her head, tears already running down her cheek. «When you decide to listen to me, I’ll be at my parents house, with the kids!» she spat, running to their shared room to pack her things. The kids already had a lot of clothes at her parent’s house, so she only needed to get things for her self.
«Doll!» he tried. «Save it Dominick! I don’t want to hear it», she said, glaring at him before storming out the house. (Y/N) thanked her lucky stars that the kids were already with her parents. The worst thing she and Sonny could do was to fight in front of the kids.
~~~
That was a couple of months ago. She still hadn’t been told she was right all along. And she was still ignoring Sonny. The truth was, she wanted to make up with him so bad, mostly for the kids who were crying most nights asking for him. But they were both hotheads, so unless Sonny came to his senses and started apologizing for how crappy he had treated her, she didn’t want to hear it.
(Y/N) was in the middle of writing a new chapter for her book when she got a call from her sister-in-law.
«Hello? Nina? Hey! Calm down, please, and tell me what happened.» Nina was talking about a mile a minute, and it was getting hard for (Y/N) to understand what she was saying. «Oh my God! When?! Just now? Hey, shh. Tell the others I’m on my way!» (Y/N)’s brother, Tony, was a fire fighter with firehouse 61 in Chicago. And according to his wife, Nina, he had been severely injured on the job.
She couldn’t really say she played favorites when it came to her brothers, she loved them all equally. Not to mention three of their brothers, Ed, Val and Leo, also worked in the emergency service industry in Chicago. Ed being in intelligence for the Chicago PD, Val worked as an EMT for  firehouse 61 and Leo worked at Chicago Med as a trauma surgeon. Being a worried sister came with it. Especially with Ed, Val and Tony who were on the front line every day.
~~~
(Y/N) bolted through the doors of the Emergency room at Med as soon as she got there. «Casey! Where is he?!» she called out, locking eyes with Tony’s lieutenant, Matt Casey. «(Y/N)! Oh my God! Thank God you’re here!» he said, hugging her. «They took him into surgery a couple of hours ago. He’s in recovery now, but still under», Casey added, helping her sit down. «Where’s Nina?» she asked, looking for her sister-in-law. «With your brothers, they’re at Tony’s place», he explained. Nodding her head at that, she leant back in her seat, taking a deep breath.
«What the heck happened out there?» she asked no one in particular. «He tried to get a mother and son out of the building and a beam fell down and trapped him under it. We almost didn’t get to him in time», Otis said, biting his lip as he sat opposite her. «But you did get to him. Thank you.» She felt tears slip down her cheeks as she stood up and hugged Otis.
~~~
Hours went by until Dr. Halstead came out, looking at everyone. «Where’s his family?» he asked, before spotting (Y/N), Nina, Ed, Val and Leo. «Come with me please», he said. «Casey can you please call my parents for us?» (Y/N) said, expecting the worst by the way Will was standing.
She was right to think the worst. Dr. Halstead explained that the damage was too severe, he had been in there too long, and the beam had hit just right, meaning it was no saving him. Biting her lip, (Y/N) stood back as her bothers and her sister-in-law hugged and cried. She didn’t know what do do, all she really could do was pray that this was all a joke, a sick dream, and that she would wake up and Tony would be there, awake and smiling at her as he told her one of his weird jokes. But she knew that wasn’t the case, he was gone, and he wasn’t coming back. Tony was just laying there, machines beeping around him. If only he had taken the day off like he had said he was going to do, according to Nina. But there was never anyone who could tell Tony not to work, he was stubborn as a mule and loyal to a fault.
«I need someone to sign off on the papers if we should turn of the machines or not», Dr. Manning chimed in, standing next to Dr. Halstead. «Can we wait until our parents get here?» Leo asked his colleague. «Yeah sure», the brunette girl said, nodding before she and Halstead left.
~~~
The five of them sat there, just watching Tony for what felt like hours, until (Y/N) couldn’t take the silence anymore and got up, going out to the waiting room.
«(Y/N), how’s Tony?» Casey asked, approaching her as the other fire fighters looked up or got out of their seats. «He—he’s not gonna make it. We’re just waiting for our parents and our other brother to get here before we sign the papers», she explained, wiping some tears away. «I’m so sorry to hear that (Y/N). If there’s anything we can do, you just let us know okay?» she nodded at that, giving Casey a hug.
(Y/N) decided to stay in the waiting room with the firefighters, just so she could be the first person her parents and Sergio saw when then got there.
She had stood so motionless that she almost didn’t feel the arms wrapping around her waist until she heard a soft murmur, «Shhh doll, it’s okay.» Sonny was the first and the last person she wanted to see right now. But feeling a moment of weakness, she leant into her husbands chest.
The moment ended quickly though as soon as she saw her parents rush in. «Ma! Dad! Ser!» she called out, running over to them, embracing them all in hugs. «How is he?» her mother asked, looking at her. «He’s not gonna make it ma. I’m sorry», (Y/N) said, looking at the ground as if she was the culprit behind the accident. «Oh god!» Mrs. (Y/L/N) exclaimed, falling into her daughter’s embrace. «I’m so sorry ma», (Y/N) whispered, hugging her mother.
They walked together into the room, leaving Sonny behind, wishing he could take his wife in his arms again and kiss her, to tell her it would be okay in the end. But seeing she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring, he figured she was moving on. Gina had told him about this divorce lawyer friend she had who had gotten (Y/N) the papers. He knew it was coming, he just hoped she would change her mind and come back to him.
~~~
Leo had come out a while after the arrival of their parents and brother. Every firefighter in the room stood up and looked at him. He looked so tired, having been here since the start of his shift the evening before. «Doc?» Chief Boden asked, looking at Leo. «He’s at peace now», was all Leo said, before leaving.
«Leo! Hold up!» Sonny called out, running over to his brother-in-law. «What is it Detective Carisi?» he asked, looking back at Sonny. «How’s (Y/N)?» Sonny asked. «Do you mean after what happened with Tony? Or after you decided to call her a liar and get her fired from her dream job and almost arrested?» Leo knew all about how Sonny broke her heart, all her brothers knew. «I—I should have never done it. I made a huge mistake, and I beat myself up for hurting her, every day. I don’t know what to do. She’s my dream girl and I ruined that», Sonny tried so hard to not break down and cry, it was the last thing (Y/N) and her family needed. «You should have thought of that before then!» Leo stated, turning to leave Sonny behind.
~~~
Later that evening at Nina and Tony’s place, (Y/N) called her mother-in-law. She wanted to say goodnight to the kids. «(Y/N). How are you holding up dear?» Mrs. Carisi asked, looking at her daughter-in-law. «I could be better. Are the kids still awake?» she asked in return. «Yeah hold on. Dom can you get the kids in here please?» Mrs. Carisi asked her husband.
A minute later the kids were in the room in front of the phone. «Mommy! We miss you!» Giovanni and Matteo said in unison. «I miss you kiddos too! Are you being good to nonna and nonno?» at this the boys and Angelina nodded their heads.
«Is daddy there too?» Dominick asked, looking at his mother. «No. Sorry baby», (Y/N) said, giving the kids a sympathetic look. She knew the kids were missing their father, and she couldn’t lie, she missed Sonny too. Having seen him at the hospital earlier had really made her feel better.
After the kids said their goodnights and I love yous, Mrs. Carisi came back in frame. «I know you don’t want to hear it (Y/N), and I was so mad at him when I heard what happened. But have you thought about talking to him? He’s not himself anymore, keeps asking about you and the kids in case I had heard something. I heard something about his attitude towards his colleagues have gotten shorter and he snaps easily», she explained. It broke (Y/N)’s heart to hear how Sonny had changed after the separation. After talking to the divorce lawyer Gina had recommended, she often though about going to Sonny and taking him back, but she couldn’t give up. He had broken her trust, that couldn’t be forgiven that easily.
She missed him like crazy though, and she knew it wouldn’t go away. «Maybe I can talk to him tomorrow?» she murmured, looking from her mother-in-law to the table. «You love him still, don’t you sweetie?» (Y/N) nodded at this, tears slipping down her cheeks before she could stop them, «Yeah, like crazy. But he hurt me, how do I forgive him for that?» she asked, biting down on her lip. «You don’t. But it helps talking it out. That way you can both go from there and hopefully make your way back together. You and Sonny were made for each other sweetie, we saw it long before you both did. Don’t let something so good go to waste dear», Mrs. Carisi said, giving her daughter-in-law a warm smile.
(Y/N) finished her video chat quickly after that, saying she was exhausted, but really, she needed time to think about what her mother-in-law had said. On one hand she wanted to run to where Sonny was staying, hug him and tell him she loved him and she wanted it again. But then in the back of her head she would tell herself that he didn’t deserve to be taken back, and well, that voice was usually the loudest voice.
She finally set for a somewhat healthy medium when she picked up the phone and dialed his number. (Y/N) just about threw her phone at the wall when he picked up. «Doll?» he asked, his voice sounding raw, almost as if he had been crying. She wanted nothing more in that moment than to hug him, she always hated it when he cried, she just didn’t want him to be hurt. «Hey Sonny», she said, and it was the first time in a long time she had said his name, and been happy when she said it. «Are you okay?» he asked, not quite believing that she would call him. «Can we talk? Tomorrow? Over breakfast, my treat», she asked in return. «I’d love that. But please, let me pay.» he offered. «Okay. See you tomorrow», she said. There was a short moment of silence before she added «I love you Sonny.» It was so silent after that, that (Y/N) thought he had passed out, until he replied just as softly as she had with «I love you too doll. Always.»

Meet Me in the Middle Chapter 5
Meet Me in the Middle Chapter 4 
Word count: 1884
-------------
All week, after classes and homework were finished, Rosetta and her friends headed to the studio room that they had taken for the next two hours. She was making her last music video for her EP and it was all hands on deck. They had done this last year when Kiki and Beck released their band's first EP and some songs and Lana, who was a film student, had gladly offered to help film and edit for them, doing the same for Rosetta now.
Everyone was pitching in their skills with Kiki finding every prop or costume needed and Ellie helping sew and finish off any costumes. Meg, who was a dancer, helped with choreography, though for this video there wasn't much, and Kiki and Beck helped with sound and helped play instrument for when they put all the audio together.
They were nearly done with filming, just needing one last scene before they could put it all together and upload it to Rosetta's YouTube. She wasn't worried about anyone she didn't want finding it discovering it as those people didn't exactly use YouTube for what she was uploading. She had never been so glad that she was at war with a conservative boy who thought social media was the Devil's work. Jack really was something.
Currently, Ellie, who had let herself be in the music video, was wearing a giant, fluffy, cotton candy pink dress. Her nails were painted a shimmery pink and all the makeup on her was shiny and a peach color. Her hair was down in loose waves and she had heart shaped lollipop earrings on. Rosetta would admit, it's exactly how she pictured the other person in the video looking like mainly because it was a song based off her pinning for Ellie, one she had made when they had their fling but never showed her.
Rosetta herself was dressed up, wearing high wasted dress pants, a tank-top, and then a thin button up that was half opened over top, tucked into the pants, all of it in pink and white. Her hair was left down with little candy shaped clips scattered through her curls. She also had glossy pink makeup to go along.
The set was a candy shop with the stereotypical red and white striped with black and white checkered tile everywhere. There was a little stage in the back of the shop with a 50s era microphone in it and two giant lollipops crossed over each other and hung on the wall.
"Okay Ellie move a little more to the left. I need you centered on the X," Lana instructed.
She slid down the stage and Rosetta did too, her head on her lap.
They just had to record the last refrain of the chorus.
"Okay now Beck turn out the main lights, Kiki shut the blinds, and Meg I need you to turn on the show lighting," Lana directed.
All of them did as they were told. The show lighting flickered on as the rest of the room went black.
"And go," Lana said.
So Rosetta sang the last refrain of the chorus. She did it several times to make sure that they got what they needed. And even though it was only a few lines she needed to sing, it still took forever to get done and she was sweating by the end of it though Ellie was too, the stage lights pounding on them.
However, by the end of next week, Rosetta and Lana would have finished editing the video and they would post it.
"And that everyone, is a wrap," Lana said, putting the hard drive and camera away as they packed up.
"Now we can focus on prepping for the music showcase," Beck laughed.
Tomorrow night, for the seniors, was the Starter Showcase. It was always a week before break and the Snowball dance which was the Friday closest to the winter break. There was always two showcases a year for each grade.
Rosetta had written the showcase down on the calendar. She was hoping that her family would come as she had been talking about it for a while. The first two years at school she had never told her parents anything about it as she didn't want people to know about her family but after the news got out at the end of her junior year last year, right before the Ending Showcase, she had asked them to come. It seemed, thankfully, that no one cared who her parents were after a week and people never asked her any questions about it like they had in middle school.
It allowed her to be more open at school though, there were still some things she didn't tell anyone.
But she was giving her parents something she liked and she was just hoping it didn't get ruined.
They all then went back to their dorms, Lana giving Rosetta the footage to edit on her laptop. It wasn't necessarily late, but it was 6 at night and dinner in the cafeteria would be starting soon and Rosetta wanted to shower before she ate.
She put her hair in a shower cap and turned on the water. The bathroom was right off of their room on  "Rosetta's" side of the room and she didn't really mind Beck coming in to wash his hands as she got in.
Most people would assume that it was weird but it wasn't like anything was going to happen between them. Rosetta was gay and in love with Ellie while Beck was the straightest person alive and was in love with Kiki who he wanted to date.
That and they had known each other so long that they were like siblings and personal boundaries didn't exist between them.
Rosetta scrubbed her body down quickly before drying off and putting on pajamas, taking off the shower cap and hanging it up. She grabbed her bag and put on flip flops and went out the door.
Kids were crowded in the cafeteria, some in line and some at tables. She saw Kiki, Ellie, and Beck all together at the table they and their friends shared. Additionally, as much as Rosetta hated it, James was sitting with Ellie. Occasionally he tagged a long and every time Rosetta either ignored him or didn't join. Everyone knew she didn't like him, including Ellie but they didn't seem bothered by it.
Lana and Meg beckoned her over to the line, a tray and silverware ready for her. She ran to them and joined.
"You better not be mean to James. He has done nothing to you and you can't be mean to him because you're jealous," Meg said immediately.
"I'm trying," Rosetta insisted.
It was true. She felt bad about hating him. He was nice and she was just jealous. It wasn't her fault though. She didn't control her emotions as much as she tried and she was honestly doing her best to get over Ellie. The problem was that she saw her every day and that made it difficult but she didn't want to ice Ellie out either. There was no good option and Rosetta loathed it entirely.
"We know Rose but you really suck at hiding it," Lana laughed, putting chicken nuggets on her plate.
"I'm just saying his vibes are off. I don't think he's straight," Rosetta pointed out.
"Bisexual and pansexual and other sexualities besides gay and straight exist," Meg said nonchalantly.
"I'm well aware. But I still don't think that's it."
Changing the subject swiftly, Lana held up one of her nuggets. "Look they're dinosaur shaped!" She giggled, making Meg and Rosetta laugh as well. She had a bubbly personality and was good at making others happy and changing the subject which was very much needed at the moment.
Rosetta also went for the dino nuggets as well as a roll. She loved the rolls the cafeteria had. They were always warm and melted in her mouth.
"Both of you get a salad or something. You need fruits and veggies," Meg reminded, like always.
Lana and Rosetta looked at each other and rolled their eyes but listened anyways, Lana grabbing roasted vegetables and Rosetta going to the salad bar. They all met up at the table, Rosetta sitting quietly and minding her business in between Beck and Kiki, across from Lana.
She didn't engage in much conversation, afraid she'd say something mean to James and everyone would get mad at her. She didn't really need that at the moment. The only thing she did was let Kiki toss food in her and Beck's mouth to add to the competition.
Rosetta's phone then buzzed. It was an update from her musical performance class.
Miss Calice: Reminder; Some of you may have to come on the weekend to help clean up the Showcase for your credits. Check the list tomorrow morning to see if you are on it.
Not knowing if she completed all her needed credits for assistance, as they had to help out a certain amount from helping around school to pass, Rosetta decided to call her parents just in case. Sometimes they would miss text messages so as annoying as it was, it was safer to call them.
Her dad picked up right away.
"What do you need sweetheart? Is everything okay at school?" He asked.
"Yeah everything's fine. I just thought you should know that I might not come home with you after the Showcase on Friday because of clean up," She explained.
"The Showcase? That's next Friday right?"
"No it's this Friday as in tomorrow night," Rosetta said, heart already starting to sink. By the tone of his voice she could tell that she was going to be let down.
"What time?"
"6."
"I'm sorry sweetie. Your mom and I promised that we'd be there for Eva's game. It's the last one of the season," Adrian told her.
"Oh," Rosetta said, a little disappointed. "Oh okay. That's fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I'm sure," she said, doing her best to sound as happy as possible even though she was upset by the news.
They may have promised to be there for Eva's game but they had also promised to be at the Ending Showcase last year and missed it. They said they would be there for this one and she even put it on the calendar. She hadn't shut up about it. Rosetta couldn't believe that they had forgotten.
"Thank you for understand pumpkin. Tell us if you have to stay over the weekend. I love you."
"I love you too."
She ended the call and then texted Valerie.
Me: Are you coming to the showcase tomorrow? It's at 6.
Val: Can't. I have work. Sorry, Maybe next time. :(
Rosetta turned off her phone and made a frustrated growl, shoving it in her bag trying not to cry. All of her friends turned to her but she got up before they could do anything, putting her things in the wash bin.
She came back and grabbed her bag.
"Are you okay?" Ellie asked.
"They can't come," She said, tears starting to roll down her cheeks. "I don't even know why I got my hopes up."
She turned on her heel and left before they could ask anymore.

Good Evening Ch12 (Escalating)
AO3 Link Summary: Angelo gets a surprise visit at night by someone...who is not at all happy to see him. How rude... Words: 2,479 Warning: Gun violence, blood, and murder I'm so freaking sorry for the wait. I have no excuse other than starting up a new story called My Roommate's a Demonic Deer and laziness. I'm so, so sorry. Hope it's worth the wait. ~~~ Also, during that week, Angelo had been bed-ridden the entire time, going in and out of consciousness, due to the immense pain that he was in. Luckily, he was stable enough to do the more private tasks like using the bathroom and bathing himself, so that was a bit of relief for him. He really needed those moments because he was hardly ever alone.
If he wasn’t being checked up on by Baxter, then Cherri was worried about his well being and talking to him about her terrible job. Sir Pentious would also make sure to keep him up to speed about all the news going on in the world by reading the newspaper...fucking old man. Plus, his sister came by with Fat Nuggets, his little piggy, to cheer him up. Granted, his father and Arackniss also came by...so...yeah. Nothing better than you father and brother still questioning your fucking “decision” of “choosing homosexuality”. Angelo wished Vox just killed him...not really, but he was mad.
Also, Charlie and, surprisingly, Vaggie came over once or twice to just talk to Angelo about anything and just to check up on him. It felt both odd and nice that they were all just talking like nothing changed. As if the mob child wasn’t lying in bed with his arm and leg in a cast, a few broken ribs, bruised up body, busted gums and lip, and getting sick of eating soup.
Angelo knew that everyone, excluding his brother and father, were just looking after him, but it was just a bit much. Although, it did make him feel happy that people did care for him this much...but give him some fucking space...please. If anything, Angelo was lowkey wondering why Alastor had yet to show up. Seemed like he didn’t want to leave his side before, what gives?
Now, the mob-child was watching some Baywatch-like TV show and it was boring as all hell. He groaned as he tried to grab the remote, just for sharp pain to go up his side as he attempted to twist his body, causing his eyes to tear up. He flopped back onto the mattress lightly, sighed, and called out as best as he could, “Pennnnnnn! PENNNNNNNNN!! …...PeEeeEEEeeeeEeEeENNNNnNNN!!!!”
Pentious practically kicked the door open and screeched, “Blimey! Shut the fuck up, you bloody plonker!”
Angelo grinned, “Man, ya really went full British~”
Pentious rolled his eyes and gave a huff as he walked into the room, questioning, “What the hell do you want?”
The mob child whimpered like a sad puppy and reached out pathetically to the remote on the nightstand. Pen raised an eyebrow at him, still clearly pissed at Angie calling out to him like that, and walked over to the nightstand. He grabbed the remote...and then tossed it lightly at Angelo’s head. 
The boy flinched at the impact, even if it was barely enough to even cause pain. He pouted up at Pen, “Hey, what the hell!? I’m injured ‘ere!”
The older man sat down at the edge of the bed and huffed, “Clearly, you’re not too injured to scream at the top of your lungs. ….How are you feeling?”
Angelo couldn’t help but calm down at hearing his tone soften up a bit. He shifted as much as he could, wincing at a sharp pinch at his side, and replied, “Well...I’m doin’ as good as I can be, especially bein’ stuck in bed and, you know, bein’ broken...and all.”
Sir Pentious’ soft look immediately turned into a look of concern and possible pity. He rubbed the back of his neck, unsure of what to say to try to alleviate the situation, and asked, “Uh…perhaps I can do something to help you? You do look really knackered. Do you want anything? Anything at all?”
Angelo hummed, “Oh, yeah, can ya get me a fairy godmother to heal up my wounds, a hit list of everyone that works for Vox, and a M3? Thanks, sweetie~”
“....Uuuuuuhhhhh,” was Pen’s well-detailed and poetic response. Luckily, Cherri and a short latin man, who gave a warm smile to Pen before looking at Angelo worriedly, came walking in. Not necessarily to “save” him, since Cherri immediately punched Pen’s arm, causing him to let a manly yelp, while her face had a light pinkish red as she glared at him, shouting, “What the hell is wrong with you! Don’t yell at Angelo!”
Pentious glowered, “What’s wrong with me!? I’m not the one punching people randomly, you nutter!”
The short man pushed back his naturally, already slicked back, black hair with silver streak and went over to Angelo quickly. He practically shouted, just to assuage the tension, “So, uh, Anthony, how are you?”
The two looked over at Angelo and the mob child huffed, “I already answered this! When can I just get-augh!”
The three jumped at seeing Anthony grip at his ribs tightly and take a deep shuddering breath as his eyes teared up a bit, shutting his eyes tightly. The man mumbled, “I guess that answers my question.”
He fished some pills out from his pocket and was about to help him take the pills, even about to tell Pen to get some water. However, Angelo just snatched the capsules out of his hand and took them dry. He quickly snapped, “I can take my own pills, dammit!”
Pentious was going to yell again, but the doctor reassured, pushing up his glasses, “It’s alright, querido. He’s been stuck in bed for a whole week.” The long-haired man scoffed, “That doesn’t justify him being rude to you, Baxter. You should be more appreciative, Anthony!”
Angelo was about to yell to stop calling him Anthony, but Cherri clapped her hands and gave a soft sigh, “Alright, things are startin’ to escalate, so why don’t ya two maybe, uh, get the fuck out?”
Pen was going to argue more, but Baxter ended up calmly bringing his boyfriend out of the middle of things by taking his hand. He just didn’t wish to deal with a bunch of shouting. Well...more shouting. Pen eventually just huffed and decided to just go out the door, while carrying the bespectacled man in his arms. It caused a lovely rosy color to hit Baxter’s cheeks.
Cherri gagged at the two and then stared at Angelo, sighing, “So, uh, I guess ya ain’t doin’ that well, huh?”
Angelo shook his head and sat up slowly, wincing at the sharp pains wracking his body. The Australian girl wanted to help, but she knew that would just annoy Angie. He grunted, “I...I know that everyone is jus’ tryin’ ta help, but...god, it makes me feel useless. Not only that, but I bet Vox might send people ta finish the job, especially since I ain’t dead.”
“Did you escape or somethin’?”
“No...he let me go, but ya never just attack a mob boss and get out alive,” Angelo informed, causing him to let out a shuddering breath.
Cherri noticed it getting somber, causing her to change the subject and bring up, “Oh, uh, hey! I heard Alastor’s radio station. He talked about some woman’s husband missing and said that the hotel is doing well. I think it helps that Charlie’s dad is visiting more often, something about a helicopter and...uh...”
She trailed off when she noticed Angelo still looking incredibly distraught. She thought that she may have seen a glimmer of intrigue after mentioning Alastor’s name, but that was all. He barely seemed to pay attention to the status of the hotel. Cherri sighed as she reached into her short’s pocket and handed a folded up note to Angelo. She replied, “I found this letter outside your door way earlier. I think it was like 3 am, I heard some noise...uh...yeah. I’ll just leave it here…”
She placed it on the nightstand near his bed and then told him, “We all want ya to get better, Angie, and maybe even Vox to go through hell. Just...don’t do anything dumb, okay?”
Cherri then got up off of the bed and started walking towards the door, giving one glance over her shoulder at Angelo before leaving out of the room. Angelo sighed as he grabbed the letter, feeling awful for going silent on Cherri. He unfolded the paper and skimmed over the words.
When the mob-child got to the end of the letter, he felt both shocked, questionable, and worried. The letter was written by Alastor, who somehow snuck into Pen’s house, and...he was coming over tonight. ~~~ Angelo was slightly turning in bed, waiting for Alastor to come to the house. Granted, he wasn’t too excited to see what he was bringing back as a meal, but he was sure that he wouldn’t serve humans again. ...Well, he hoped so. It wasn’t like it was too much of a stretch considering what he saw in that gumbo. It still made him feel ill to this day. Plus, it didn’t help since Al seemed very excited.
Angelo just sighed as he placed his back on the pillow and was about to go to sleep, but stopped when he heard footsteps. He lifted his head up a little and groaned, “Hey, Al, can ya give me a hint as ta what yer makin’? I just don-”
He stopped when he saw a shadow in the hall of a woman that definitely didn’t look like Cherri’s. Before he could question, he heard the sound of a gun being cocked and then a revolver being aimed into the room. He saw a woman coming into view, but didn’t pay attention to anything but the shaky gun. Angie started, “Wh-Whoa! Hey, d-don’t do any-”
The woman whisper-shouted, “Shut up, just...shut up! You...You killed him!”
Angelo looked very confused and she sniffled, cheeks and nose a bright red, “Jonathan...he w-worked...a-at your ex-boss’ wareh-house. ...H-He was standing guard la-last week.”
Angelo barely had any memory of who all worked under Val and Vox, but it could have been a possibility. No one knows about the warehouse or that it’s Val’s. He gulped, “H-Hey, I’ve been st-stuck in bed an-”
“I told you-!” She took a deep breath as her finger went towards the trigger, making Angelo feel his heart jump to his throat. He looked around the place as he sat up in bed quite quickly, probably making it harder to believe that he was injured in the first place. 
The woman went on, stepping closer and aiming the gun at his head, “Th-They told m-me...they f-found remains i-in the fu-furnace. Vox said...th-they don’t kn-now if i-it’s his, but...he has-sn’t come back. O-Our kids...a-are so sc-scared...they don’t...th-they just w-want...him…” she trailed off as she placed a hand to her mouth to try to quiet her sobbing, turning away and lowering the revolver.
Angelo was trying to slowly slide out of bed to try and get some kind of weapon. Unfortunately, the gentle thud of his toes hitting the wooden floor. The woman immediately shot up and aimed the gun back at his head. Angie gulped and tried to calm her again, “Listen...I promise ya...I did not kill yer husband, alright? I-I’ve been stuck here. I mean...ya can clearly see that Vox did a number on me...right…?”
He got a bit distracted when he saw Cherri appear behind the woman, opened her eyes widely, and then quickly retreated to possibly find a weapon. Angelo continued, wanting to stall, “So....what’s your n-”
“I’m not telling you my goddamn-”
“Whoa-ho-ho! I’ve clearly come in a bad time!” 
The woman quickly turned around and aimed the gun at the person behind her. Angelo oddly felt relieved at seeing Alastor standing there with his perma-smile, but also had no idea where this was going to go. Al just calmly walked inside and stepped around the lady, humming a little tune. She whimpered, “H-How did you g-get in here!? Wh-Where did you come fr-from!? I...I heard y-your voice...the radio broadcast, right?”
Alastor nodded, walking in-between her and Angelo, “Yes...you’re Traci? The one that lost her husband, I suppose? ...Why are you going to shoot, Anthony?” Traci glared and sniffled, wiping her eyes, “Because he’s the one that killed him!”
Al raised an eyebrow and hummed, “And you know that...how?”
The lady looked around for a few seconds, messing with her hair and the scarf around her neck. She muttered, “I-I-I just kn-now about him g-getting hurt. Cl-Clearly, he ratted o-out to his batshit f-family! His sist-ter is just as f-fucking stupid a-as he is, so-”
“Now, now, no need to go throwing around insults. You’re already aiming a gun at a questionably innocent mad, don’t have to be even more callous,” Alastor chuckled, as if he was just having a normal conversation. It once again reminded Angelo that this man was not sound of mind. Cherri came back with a wooden field hockey stick and was slowly creeping on the lady. Traci started, “But he-”
Al walked closer to her, being calm and collected, “You...don’t know what he did. You’re just accusing him of something. I’m sure that the police are doing whatever they can, but...Traci...no need to get yourself in trouble. Your kids need you, correct? You do have kids, right?”
Traci was almost near sobbing again, causing Cherri to halt in her movements out of guilt, and she nodded. He walked closer, feeling the revolver press to his chest, and calmly asked, “Please, Traci, give the gun. ...We won’t press charges.”
She sniffled and whimpered, trembling where she stood. She let out a loud sob as she handed the gun to Alastor, who took the gun calmly. Angelo let out a breath and noticed that Pen and Baxter joined Cherri. The three looked calmer considering that everything had become quieter.
Alastor backed away from Traci, causing her to just break down and hugged herself. He looked down at the revolver and let out a long hum. Al then gave out quite a cute guilty as he informed, “Traci, don’t you know that when you threaten with a gun, you have to take the safety off! Silly!”
“Wha-” that was all that Traci said as she slowly lifted her head and a bullet went right through her head, causing a bit of blood splatter. Unfortunately, it got mostly onto Cherri and the wall, making the punk scream out in terror and Pen almost throw up. Her scream covered up the sound of Traci’s body falling onto the floor.
Alastor muttered, “I thought it would be messier than that...hmm…” He tossed the gun onto the bed and smiled at Angelo, who just muttered, “Nice shot...I guess…”
“I made grilled venison!”
“Oh...neat.”

Twin Snowflakes pt12: A Guest
“Nicholas? Niiiick? Nicky, wake up sweetie.” Said a voice called out through a void of darkness. It felt...familiar. He knew that voice. Where was he?
“Nick, open your eyes”
‘My...eyes were closed? How’d that happen? Last thing I remember was the exa-‘ the haze started to clear. ‘The exam! Val! Summer!’
The darkness slowly faded into light. Intense, blistering light. Nick felt his body began to move as if he was sitting up until a thump hit his head and felt himself fall back down on something soft. “Ow…” the hit felt like walking into a door. Nick’s vision finally cleared up and the first thing he saw was bright green eyes and orange hair right above him.
Nick:Penny?
Penny:Hello Nick. Your head okay? If I knew you were going to sit up so fast I would’ve made sure to move.
Nick:Talk about hard headed. Wait, if you’re here then am I in a lab?
Penny:No silly.
The girl helped Nick sit up; this time moving out the way. He was still in his clothes from earlier and the bed looked like it should be in a hospital. As well did the curtains around him. “Wait a second. I’m…” he pulled them away to see identical beds and a little office desk across the room. Each bed was empty but the one right next to him which held his sister. Summer looked at him a bit tired. Pillows propped her up and made leaning against the wall comfortable. A cup of half eaten yogurt was in her hands.
Nick:.....
Summer:What? Not used to being in the Nurse’s office? Count your lucky stars. That bed you’re in is the comfiest one.
Nick:I….you….what’s going on?
Penny:Simple! You passed out! Been that way for almost two hours.
Nick:Two hours!?
Summer:Why are you saying that like it’s a problem? That’s short, like incredibly short.
Nick:Not as short as yours apparently.
Summer:Well….Shiva has her benefits.
Just saying that made Summer a bit annoyed. She slumped down a little in her bed and stirred her yogurt.
Penny:Between genetics, aura, and some other factors, I’m not surprised you both are already awake from your triumphant battle!
Summer:(Wouldn’t be how I described it.)
Nick: Triumphant? We passed!?
Penny:With flying colors! I heard from Harriet as soon as she called me to treat the three of you. Needless to say, she was very impressed.
Nick:Speaking of three, where is Val?
Summer:She wasn’t as drained as us and bounced back pretty quick. She left as soon as she could move.
Nick:Aww, it would’ve been nice to celebrate together. I need to tell her thanks again since I begged her to help. Just like now I have to learn whatever song you have in store for me.
He gave a smile that made Summer a bit happy. A duet with him was something she was looking forward to, but it didn’t help her bruised self esteem. Summer gave Nick a fake smile to him before choosing to lay down. Her hair slightly hiding her face.
Nick didn’t fall for that cheap smile for a second, but he also knew now wasn’t the time to pressure her about it. If she was in a mood like this then he could only imagine what Val might be feeling. Hopefully she was fine.
Penny:Uhhh Nicholas? There’s something I’d like to ask you about. *pulls out scroll* Your match was recorded by multiple people and I saw something I found pretty interesting.
Nick:We got recorded? Honestly that shouldn’t surprise me.
Penny:The crowd was very energetic from the sound of it. Take a look.
A projection of the recording springs out of the scroll for a fuller view. Nick watched the playback of him and his team flipping around like some sort of acrobatic performance. The crowd seemed to love it though. Then came the part where Summer got hit. He looked at his sister who didn’t say anything about it. Then came Valerie’s defeat shortly after. His eyes studying the glyph he had made in order to summon the Gigas.
‘How’d I do that?’ He pondered quietly. Figuring out what he did differently this time from the others was going to be tough. The video continued until Penny paused it right where he was controlling ice blades that seemed to spin around him and obey his movements. A slight blush showing on his face appeared as Penny grinned happily at him.
Penny:They say imitation is the best form of flattery. Most of your moves are undeniably learned by your parents but I can’t help but think you had another inspiration in mind.
Nick:Hehe, I was panicking a bit in the end and all I could think about was overwhelming it with swords. Looks like I was influenced by you.
Penny:It has been quite some time since I’ve done any real fighting so I’m glad I left a strong impression from what you’ve seen. I would love to teach you some basics whenever you want.
Nick:Really? You’d train me a bit!?
Penny:Why of course! Lab work is important but it does get a little tedious and repetitive unfortunately. Teaching sounds like a splendid way to change up my routine.
Nick:I might take you up on that offer. Thanks Penny!
Penny:It is my pleasure! I enjoy supporting the two of you where I can. Oscar feels the same. I’m almost a little jealous about how much he praises your strength and conviction Summer.
Summer:He….thinks I’m strong?
Penny:He’s not the only one. Truly you are quite exceptional.
Nick:Yeah she is! She’s my sister after all. I can’t tell you how many times she’s kicked my butt.
Summer:....May we please have the room to ourselves Penny?
Penny:Huh? O...kay. Let me just-
Suddenly the nurse door flew open and hit the wall. “There you are Nicholas!” Everyone immediately turned around and saw Eliza standing with her hands on her hips and her eyes beaming angrily at her school president.
Nick:Why hello Mrs. Marigold. T-
Eliza:Cut the crap. You get the information for the play or what?
Summer:Play?
Nick:....Are you not aware I’ve been doing an exam?
Eliza:I’m aware that you got rag dolled by choice because of how impatient you are.
Penny:(But isn’t she acting the same?)
Nick:Listen it doesn’t even matter. I just told you all that stuff to get you off my back.
Eliza:You what!? But-
Nick:Relax. Have faith in your president. Isn’t that part of your job as secretary? Scrap the whole play idea; Summer agreed to a concert.
Summer:H-Hello…
Eliza:Wait, you’re actually going through with it? No flaking or half assing this time?
Summer:I wouldn’t do that for something so important. You...you have my word!
Eliza:Hmmmm
Nick:Can we have this discussion another time please?
Eliza:By another time do you mean doing what you want while the rest of us adapt? Fat chance! You do realize by not accurately informing me of your plan I’ve wasted precious time making a list of proper things we’ll need for nothing! What am I supposed to tell the other members!?
Summer:She has a point.
Penny:Indeed, you have possibly wasted resources.
Nick:This meeting was the other day. How much work could you have possibly-
Eliza chucks a scroll right at his face. Nick flinches in pain as the device hits his nose. He picks it up and to see a list of concepts Eliza had worked on. Then he scrolled down, and down, and down…..
He kept going for minutes until he eventually gave up on reaching the bottom. Nick could feel her stare on him.
Eliza:That much. That much work. Unlike you, I don’t get a slap on the rest or the luxury to slack of. I’m not a Schnee.
Nick:....
Summer:That’s..not fair. Nick does a lot for this-
Eliza:Your money and name does a lot for this school. Yes the two of you have gained achievements on your own right but out of fun or convenience. Not because you acted in the interest of the school. If you bothered to school let alone a meeting then you might notice these things; sending in your treasury report via Nicholas shows just how much you actually care.
Summer:I care...honestly.
Eliza:Then start acting like it!
Nick:Hey, don’t yell at my sister. I promise we will-
Eliza:To hell with your promises! Prove me wrong by keeping me in the loop. From here on out. The quality of your work is never the problem. I’m sure this concert idea will be amazing, but if you expect me to even show up to help set up or catch any mistake then you two will personally ask me. Because I’m not going to be proactively crossing your t’s or dotting your I’s. My time can be spent doing other things. Like making sure I get enough practice in to knock that royal bum of yours right out of the ring dear president.
The room fell silent with that declaration of war. Penny watched Nick stand from his bed then hand his challenger back her scroll. He didn’t look upset or exactly thrilled either as he stared up into Eliza’s golden eyes. He could tell that all that anger was mostly frustration and mostly exhaustion from the dark rings under her eyes. Even her signature pigtails were undone. ‘I’ve put you through the ringer huh?’ He thought, slightly guilty.
Nick:You got yourself a deal. Good luck with training. The jump from third place to second is steeper than you think.
Eliza:Guess I’ll overshoot and try getting to first. Be sure to protect that pretty face of yours. I might feel bad scaring it. I’m going home. *walking away*
Nick:Why were you even after school? You always get your work done.
Eliza:I thought that would be obvious. I heard an idiot in my grade had tried talking the expedited exam with two more idiots. Someone had to make sure their parents were informed in case of an emergency. Now go home and get some rest. Your sorry state is bad for morale. *leaves*
Penny:I probably shouldn’t say anything but by the time I’ve gotten here, Eliza had gathered whatever medical supplies I might’ve needed. As well as given me the recording. I think she might’ve been rooting for you three. Or at the very least wanted you to learn from this experience.
Nick:She wants no doubt in her mind if she manages to beat me. Or that’s what I think. She benefits from this tournament even more than us. It’s no mystery why she wants it perfect.
Summer:Then that lecture she gave makes her look like a hypocrite. So much for the pride of the school.
Nick:This school is probably more of a home than her actual home. Mr. Marigold never struck me as the nurturing type. I suppose that’s more reason why she’s so uptight.
Penny:You could stand to be more….aware. Spreading yourself then and tunnel visioning on problems not necessarily your concern tends to make you oblivious to simple solutions.
Nick:What? Not sure I quite understand.
Summer:(Of course you don’t…) Hey Nick…?
Nick:Yeah?
Summer:(Tell him...tell him the truth. He’s your twin for crying out loud. Just…) let’s go home. It’s only going to get colder and I wanna walk.
Nick:Alright. Let me just get my things.
Summer watches him gather his things quickly; ignoring any soreness he might have. A glance in Penny’s direction shows a similar expression of concern and sadness. She couldn’t tell who it was directed towards though.
Summer:(I’m so….)
Pathetic….
xxxx
“Maybe….if I told you then. Things would not have gotten so dire. My dear brother who would stop the world for me if need be. I should’ve let you into mine. Why didn’t I let you in?”
xxxx
It was the afternoon, the roads a little backed up from workers going home. Valerie looked at the busy traffic lights through the passenger window. Stewing in her thoughts.
Ren:You okay? Haven’t heard a peep from you since you got into the car.
Valerie:I’m fine.
Ren:Try again.
Valerie:I’m extremely upset.
Ren:There you go.
Valerie:Did you see the video?
Ren:I did. It looked intense.
Valerie:Then you saw how poorly I did?
Ren:I saw how much effort you put into it. That’s something to be proud of.
Valerie:I was a burden.
Ren:Without you then the battle would’ve been lost. Summer and Nicholas couldn’t have shined without you.
Valerie:We barely passed and the only one shining at the end was Nick while I played victim.
Ren:So are you mad about your performance or the fact Nick was the one who bailed you out? Not that there’s nothing wrong in basking in a bit of limelight.
Valerie:You know I don’t care about that sort of thing.
Ren:I know, winning is your motivation. So are friends, but your friend winning for you all has you upset?
Valerie:You make it sound so strange.
Ren:It is when you are a sports player that always plays support. Didn’t matter if it was soccer, hockey, or football. You took pride in defending your team so they can score. Even your semblance is remarkable for keeping any team you are on as strong as possible.
Valerie:This is different though.
Ren:Would you be saying that if Summer landed the final blow, or was the one saving you?
That struck a nerve. One she couldn’t deny but refused to admit. Valerie opted to ignore her father. A tactic that only proved him to be on the right track.
Ren:He’s gotten stronger, that Nicholas. These days you two seem more equal than ever besides height. I remember when-
Valerie:Dad, what are you doing? Just shoot straight with me please?
Ren:Don’t let whatever people might be saying at school tarnish your relationship with him. You should be happy seeing him get stronger and independent; willing to return any help you gave.
Valerie:People think he’s great enough as he is and always tell me how lucky I am to have him but it’s never the other way around. Him saving me is only going to make people talk more.
Ren:So you would rather get injured and be of no help to anyone than let Nick save you? Also, are you saying that you don’t feel lucky to have such a person in your life.
Valerie:Of course I’m lucky to have him! Nicholas is so kind and sweet. Not to mention grateful! Just before the exam he told me how lucky he was to have me in his life. There is no one else besides Summer, no, even Summer agrees that he should get nothing but the best in life. It doesn’t change the fact that it’s annoying how people see me as an accessory whenever we are together.
Ren:....
Valerie:*red* But not together, together.
Ren:I didn’t say anything. So, what you’re saying is you’re upset that him getting stronger would make you feel like what everyone says about you needing him true?
Valerie:Exactly. Which is why I can’t lose that tournament. Staying on top is too important.
Ren:If you say so.
Valerie:.....Why do I have a feeling you’re disappointed in me?
Ren:I’m not disappointed in you. I just hope you take more time to really evaluate what you’re implying and what it actually means. You owe that not just to yourself, but Summer and Nicholas as well.
Valerie:You can’t just tell me?
Ren:If I did then it wouldn’t stick. Just know Nicholas cares about from the bottom of his heart and sees your accomplishments as that, yours. I think that means more than what any gossip floating around your school means.
Valerie still didn’t get what exactly her father was trying to get at. Even so, she could feel her cheeks getting warm from his words. Nicholas caring about her wasn’t new information. It was what everyone knew since forever. Another piece of the problem. She would say it was terrible but it wasn’t. It was simply confusing, and she felt weird? That’s what it always came back to in the end. Thinking of him felt weird and confusing
Ren glanced over and saw his daughter in a clear state of not being at odds with herself. Making similar expressions that his wife did countless times thinking about him.
Ren:(You’ll figure it out. Hopefully)
xxxx
Summer and Nick didn’t speak much on the way home. The twins were too busy processing today’s events. They had accomplished their goal but the ending had soured their experience. Nick found himself with more work while Summer was sulking.
It wasn’t too long before they made it to the manor gate
Nick:Phew! I don’t know about you but I could use a hot shower.
Summer:Go right ahead. I might skip one tonight: not feeling up to it.
Nick:....Weren’t you going to tell me something before Eliza showed up? Now is the perfect time. I doubt mom and dad will just let us sneak to our rooms.
Summer:It’s alright. It wasn’t too important.
Nick:Summer you’re not, mad at me are you?
Summer:Huh? What makes you say that?
Nick:I don’t know. You’ve just felt distant lately. I figured I did something wrong.
Summer:No, just a little burnt out. It’s pretty frustrating to see you perform a full summoning. I'll admit that. It seems like I’m always just missing people’s expectations. If only I could’ve done just a bit more.
Nick:You know that win would’ve been impossible with you right? I used the ice you made and the arm you managed to cut off.
Summer:Capitalizing off my effort and actually pulling my weight are two different things Nick. If I won a match because you tossed me your sword, would you say you really helped?
Nick:Point taken. Still, it’s not like I knew exactly what I was doing. It sort of happened. I doubt I could do it again without training. Adrenaline won that match honestly. Like I said earlier, you’ve kicked me butt before. You’re stronger than you look.
Summer:Yeah well, I’m glad one of us thinks that.
Nick:Don’t be like that. I bet even Veronica would- uhhh Summer?
Summer:Did you realize you were about to say something incredibly wrong?
Nick:No, well a little. That’s not what stopped me though. Yang’s motorcycle is parked in front of the house.
He pointed through the gates and there it was, clear as day. Along with two helmets. One yellow, and the other black with yellow stripes. Summer felt a headache coming on.
Summer:Son of a-
Nick:It could be Blake!? Then again, she always grabs the purple hand black helmet. Also Vee did mention about aiding in tournament setup if she could.
Summer:You’re not helping. I’m sneaking through the back. Keep her distracted.
Nick:Don’t be like that. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen her. Besides, I bet she’s tired from her trip.
xxxx
Summer:.....
Nick:Well I’ve been wrong before. Heheheh..
The two stood in the living room and saw Veronica stretched out on their couch, watching the fight recording. Specifically the part when Summer gets sent flying. The two hear a subtle snort followed by chuckling and what sounds like a pencil scribbling away.
Veronica’s ears perk up and she turns around to see Nick who’s face palming and Summer clenching her fist.
Veronica:Well look who’s back? Hello Nicholas! *swaying tail*
Nick:Hey Vee.
Veronica:I see you’re looking just swell after an eventful day. *turns head* Summer….
Summer:Veronica…..
…..
Veronica:You ate shit today huh?
Nick:Sigh...
Summer:Couldn’t help yourself huh? Then again, self control isn’t really your style.
Veronica:I’m just not afraid to be direct unlike a certain pop star.
Summer:I also do alternative rock, some acoustic. I’m multi-talented like that.
Veronica:If you say so.
Summer:What’s that supposed to mean?
Three minutes in and already testing boundaries. Worst yet, Summer had folded her arms and took a stance that Ruby has once described to Nick as the “OG Weiss” mom was apparently a lot to deal with when Ruby first met her. The attitude Summer got around Veronica was pretty uncanny. Yang and Ruby’s words, not his.
He was thinking about nipping this in the bud but they both seemed to be too tired to actually get into it. Maybe the trip had wore Veronica down because she went back to playing the rest of the video and laying down and Summer walked off.
Summer:I’m going to shower.
Nick:I thought-
Summer:I’m going to shower Nicholas.
Nick:Take your time. I’ll wait.
Veronica:Aren’t there like five showers here?
Nick:They share water pressure. Did you really have to antagonize her like that? We’re having a bit of a rough day. A calm welcome would’ve been nice for once.
Veronica:*folds ears* My bad. I’ll hold my tongue next time, for you.
Nick:Will you?
Veronica:Do I ever lie to you?
Nick:Not that I know of. Wouldn’t see why you would though.
Veronica:Then you have your answer.
Nick:Good to see you’re still coy as ever. I’m gonna change into something comfy. Please have something different on the tv when I get back.
Veronica:Oookay. *smiles*
Nick:Nice outfit by the way. Purple looks good on you. *leaves*
Veronica:*red* Huh….guess mom was right. Geez, now I really have to be on my best behavior.

Tumblr media
"How could you betray me? I thought we were best friends," says Allison from her phone. I roll my eyes.
"It's not treason, it's just a date" I say walking towards my closet. "It's not a big deal, Al."
"Sure, because it's a good idea to date the guy who practically used you as a punching bag."
"Al, Diego has never hurt me physically, at least not on purpose ... not that way."
"Right, if he did, all my brothers would kill him," I nod, even though she can't see me.
I reach out my arm to take two dresses and put them on my bed.
“Hey, which dress should I wear? Blue or red?"
"It seems that you do have a lot of interest in your date..."
"I thought you were against it."
“Hey, it's not my fault. I remember when you were crying when Diego made fun of you, then you got over it and now you ask me for fashion advice for a date with him-"
I sigh as I sit back on the mattress.
"Do you think I should cancel?" I ask nervously.
Allison is right, although all of our fights were childish, I really thought Diego hated me, but when he explained everything –I don't know-
"I can't help you with that."
"Come on, Allison. Now I feel the betrayal."
“You're going out with my brother and even if I don't want to admit it, if he gets hurt, I'm also hurt. I love you, you know, but I also love my brother, Y/N."
“Okay, let's forget for a moment that we had those problems when we were kids. What if I'm wrong to give it a try? You know that I don't have luck with my relationships..."
"Hey, no, no, no, don't start with that. We've talked, they were the idiots, you're great and it's their lost. Enough doubts and insecurity, forget what I told you!" She remains silent for a few seconds. "I could say that red would highlights everything, but I know that blue dress you mentioned and I'm sure that you'll leave my brother breathless. I vote for blue." I smile a little. “Listen, like you said, it's just a date. And I know you very well, if you don't go, you will regret it."
I sigh.
"Thanks."
“It's nothing, sweetie. Don't forget to tell me how it went!" She says and then hangs up.
I stare at the blue dress.
"Please don't be a disaster" I implore.

Diego
"Do you want to review?"
I nod unable to stand still.
"Well, I hear you," says Vanya sitting from her bed.
"First I'll go for her and I must give compliments, avoiding mentioning her breasts or butt," I say quickly. "I'll take her to the restaurant that is two blocks from her house, we'll have dinner, we'll talk… I'll confess everything and hopefully she won't yell at me or kill me."
"Diego!" says Vanya scolding me.
"Can I say something?" Sissy asks sitting down next to my sister. "I don't think it's a good idea to plan a date like that."
"What?" I snap looking at the blonde.
"I'm not saying that you're doing things wrong," She says, trying to calm me down. "It's just that, I think it's better when you don't plan it and you're just yourself..."
The three of us remain silent for a few seconds.
"Honey," says Vanya, taking her hand. "We already tried that."
"That doesn't help me at all," I growl.
“Diego, relax. If she sees you tense or calculating, she'll think it's just a game," adds Sissy.
"It's not."
"Then just think that you're going to date a cute girl, if you want things to go well, you both have to be comfortable with each other."
I analyze her words.
"And breathe, please," Vanya adds.
"Ok," I stretch my arms, walk up to the mirror and adjust my jacket, making sure everything is in order. “I-I'm going out with a beautiful girl. A d-date,” I nod in front of my reflection.
"You can do it, Kraken," says Vanya in a mocking tone making me laugh.
***
I ring the doorbell of her house, I wait a few minutes until I hear a "I'm coming" from inside. I step away from the door and breathe calmly again.
Don't rush, let everything flow.
She's the boss, keep an eye on the signs of affection.
Just relax.
The door opens and my breath catches at the sight of the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my damn life.
"Hey," She says with a shy smile. I shake my head and smile at her too.
"Hey," I look at her blue dress -which looks spectacular- without stopping in some inappropriate place... for now. "You're beautiful, Angel." I say without thinking much about the little nickname, but I know it was the best decision since I see a slight blush on her cheeks.
"Thank you, you don't look bad either, Hargreeves," She closes the door, we both go down the stairs. "What's the plan, Knife boy?" I smile at the mention of the nickname from when I was a child.
“There's a good restaurant two blocks from here. We can go walking.”
"Sounds good."
We both walk in silence for a few seconds, until she giggles.
"What?" I ask with a nervous smile.
"Oh, it's just that... I'm so used to it– I thought you were going to make fun of my outfit or something."
"Well, sorry, I don't have material. You look beautiful and it's not that I'm an expert, but blue looks good on you,” I say scratching the back of my neck.
We soon reached the restaurant, where Vanya made reservations. Truth be told, I appreciate my sister's suggestion, this place is great for a first date.
After ordering our food I can see her in more detail while she's distracted, my heart races when I notice her playing with her hands, she constantly takes a strand of her loose hair and looks at all the decorations to avoid locking eyes with me. Is she as nervous as I am?
"You're good?" I ask.
She looks up at me.
"Yes, I am, it's just that ..." She shakes her head. "Forget it, it doesn't matter."
"Hey," I lean in and put my hand over hers. "If you feel uncomfortable, we can go somewhere else, no problem."
She tilts her head and frowns slightly.
"No, it's not that," She says moving her hand away. I also take away mine and fix my jacket. "This place is beautiful..." She looks at me. "Everything has turned out well in a short time, I don't know, I'm waiting for you to say nonsense, just... something hurtful."
Her words make me grimace. I can't blame her, I felt like an idiot for so many years, but even so, I'm trying my best, I haven't done anything wrong and she still thinks I'll hurt her.
"I won't," I say seriously. "But, if you expect something like that even after what I told you the other night, I don't understand why you agreed to this."
Maybe I'm willing to make a fool of myself in front of the girl I like, but I can't let my efforts be in vain. She tenses and leans in the chair.
"No, no! I didn't mean I- uhm" She stutters. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, you're right."
I sigh.
“Ok, let's promise something,” She looks at me carefully. “From now on, we will both be honest with each other. Let's forget tonight how stupid I was. I promise there will be no more games, or anything like that."
Y/N relaxes instead.
"Unless you want it," I add with a smile and she laughs.
"I promise to be honest with you, too."
The food arrives interrupting the conversation, but as soon as the waiter leaves, the tension is long gone.
"I can't believe I'm actually on a date with you," I say shyly.
“Trust me, me neither. My twelve-year-old self is over the moon,” She says.
I raise my eyebrows ."And what does your today self say about now?"
"She's still thinking things through."
The rest of the night we talk about what we've been up to lately. I told her about my boxing, some stories I had from when I help people -omitting some violent parts - the stupidest times I got arrested and she tells me about her life. She just finished law school and now works with a friend of hers, she tells me some funny cases, some sad cases, she also tells me the story of when her friend found out that she knew the guys from Umbrella Academy.
“I swear, she has all the action figures and some posters in her room. At first it was kind of adorable, but she's always asking me to introduce her."
"Is she hot?" I ask mockingly and she throws a grape at me, making me laugh. "Just kidding, just kidding!" I raise my hands in surrender.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Shoot," I say nodding.
"Why did you wait until now to ask me out?"
I stir in my place, a little uncomfortable.
"It's ridiculous," I clear my throat. "But, since my break up with Eudora, I uh-" I look down until I feel her delicate hand on mine.
"You can tell me, Diego." I look at her and I feel the warmth of her hand, sighing.
“I see my brothers, Allison with Raymond, Vanya with Sissy, even Klaus has Dave. I uh- I've been thinking, lately, about my relationships, all a mess. Not that I'm comparing myself to my siblings -we both know I'm amazing- but, I-I don't know. I see them with their partners and I can't help but want something like that,” I scratch my face, right where I have a scar. “With Eudora, we had a lot of problems, we wanted different things. Then I met a girl, Lila..."
Y/N looks at me confused. My relationship with Lila is not known with my family, I think only Five knew her.
“It didn't work either, but the point is that, when I give myself moments to think about a future next to someone," I take courage to see her in the eyes. "You are always there."
I pray to God that it doesn't scare her away.
“When we were children, I didn't know how to act next to you,” She says shyly, “if someone said your name, I would get nervous and was afraid of making a fool of myself in front of you. So my best solution was to evade you. Then you started with the jokes and I thought you hated me, but to be honest, my feelings for you didn't change overnight. I remember when Allison comforted me, while I was crying thinking that I could never be with you."
Maybe if I can convince Five to travel back in time and tell my twelve-year-old self that he's being a jerk, everything would be better.
"I'm very sorry, the least I wanted or want is to hurt you, Y/N".
“I know,” She laughs slightly. “Now that I think about it, we were just kids, Diego. None of us knew how to handle our feelings. With time I gave up." She bites her lower lip and then smiles. "But apparently, you didn't."
"I don't give up so easily, Angel," She nods.
"I'm glad you didn't."
Quite cheesy, but I feel like there's a lot of movement in my stomach and it's not the food.
We decided to take a walk through a park close to the place.
"Diego," She says, and I stand in front of her. She looks away. "You have to know something, before anything happens..."
"You're married?" I try to joke, but her words actually scare me to death. Her laughter reassures me. I'm proud to be the cause of those.
"No, you idiot," She sighs. "You were honest when you told me about your relationships. I suppose I must be too," She fidgets. "I haven't had much luck either, my last boyfriends haven't been the best, they ended up... badly," She says with teary eyes. "I'm afraid that something like that will happen again."
My heart clenches and I just want to hug her, but I stop. I take her chin and slowly lift it.
"I don't know the whole story, but I can assure you that they're assholes," I whisper as I wipe a tear from her cheek. "Although, I'm glad they're not in my way."
"Diego-"
I cup her cheek.
“Y/N, I'd do anything to be by your side, to even hold your hand, listen to your day, kiss you... I've waited for years. I'm sorry, but if you agree to be with me, it'll be difficult to get rid of me later, no matter how many stories of ex-boyfriends you tell me."
"What if we end badly?"
"My brothers will be in charge of kicking my ass," is no joke and we know it.
"What if I'm the one who hurts you?"
"I guess Allison and Vanya can take care of your ass."
She laughs again and I join her.
"You really don't plan on giving up, do you?" Our faces are very close.
"No, ma'am," I say leaning down, about to kiss her.
"Not even if I tell you not to kiss me on the first date?" She walks away.
I freeze in my place and hear her laugh. I shake my head and look at her a little dazed.
"Is it a type of revenge?" I ask.
"Well, you once left me in the same spot when we were children."
I curse under my breath.
"Hey! In my defense that was Ben, he challenged me, trying to help me to confess what I felt for you, but in the end I chickened out," I say making a face.
She stands on her tiptoes and quickly kisses my cheek. I smile at her.
I'm sure my face is now that of an idiot in love and I don't care.
"What about kisses on the second date?"
She raises her eyebrows.
"I could consider it, but this time I choose what to do."
"Deal. Do you have something in mind?
"Maybe go to the gym where you can teach me some things about self defense..."
"Are you sure?"
"You offered yourself the night of the party!"
I nod.
"Whatever the lady wants."
"It's a date…"

"Klaus! You're already drunk and we haven't even started the game!” I complain.
"Don't be a spoilsport, Dieguito," He drawled as he sat in the opposite chair.
I roll my eyes and wait for my other siblings to arrive. This 'one night with board games' has become a tradition. At the beginning everything started well, but some don't know how to lose or even win, it always ends differently.
Luther arrives and sits next to Klaus to scold him again for being drunk, then Ben arrives along with Vanya and Sissy. After a few minutes, Raymond and Allison arrive.
"I hope you don't cry about losing this time, Y/N," says Five, Y/N walks in behind him.
“I've never cried. You're the one who always cheats!” She complains as she puts a bowl of chips on the table. She turns to see me pouting. "Right, D?"
She asks me sitting on my lap. I put my arm around her waist.
"He always does," I agree kissing her cheek. My brother looks at us with a sneer.
"Obviously your boyfriend's going to be on your side, brotherhood my ass," He complains.
"Don't be jealous, Five," I joke and he snorts.
"Well, we have to go over the rules," says Luther, drawing attention. "Five you can't flip the board again- Klaus put your glass away, the cards from the last time are still sticky..."
While he continues speaking, Y/N leans against my chest, I look down to see her.
"How do you think this will end?" She whispers.
"I say Ben will win, but Five will want to play again until he wins."
"Hmm..." She says, putting her hand on my shoulder. "I say Five will fight with Allison and it'll all be over before anyone can win."
"It's a bet?" She smiles and nods. "What does the winner get?"
"If I win, you should take me and Allison shopping," I groan. "But, if you win..." She leans close to my ear. "We won't leave the bedroom for a whole day."
I frown.
"Why wouldn't we go out?" She gives me one stern look and that's when I understand. “Oh! Yeah, okay." I smirk. "Deal, Angel," I say and then kiss her lips.
"Hey, you two!" shouts Ben in amusement. "We're going to start, so split up!"
We laugh. She turns a little to pay attention when Luther rolls the dice, I move close to her ear.
"I love you, Y/N."
She smiles at me and gives me a short kiss.
"I love you too, Diego."

Always Be There (Collin Hoskins [Blindspotting] x Reader)
Tumblr media
@terrazure   cause I promised them I would. 
You'd been there for Collin through thick and thin. You'd been there for Miles as well. But most of the time you'd always been there for Collin. You'd met him when you three were in college and they'd been skipping classes just hang out at the park and 'busting rhymes'. It hadn't been too hard to miss them, especially Miles – loud mouth that he is. Shouting at the tops of their voices, making some people gawk at them. You'd been fascinated by them. Just watching them let the words come out of their mouths so easily, as though they were saying it off by heart. When they'd gotten close to you, Miles had stumbled a little, trying to think of what to say next. Then, for some reason, you'd cut in. The two males stared at you. And from that moment, you'd been friends. Even though, you had been friends with the two, you'd always felt closer with Collin. Soon the friendship had grown into a one sided love for the male.
Then two things happened that completely changed your life.
First, you'd found out that Collin had gotten himself a girlfriend. The night you'd met her, you'd tried your best to be happy for Collin but it didn't work. You complained of a headache and said your goodbyes. Ashley, Miles' girlfriend, said she would go with you. In the taxi, she got you to confess your feelings for him.
Then the world flipped again when Ashley told you about Collin's arrest. You hurried down to the station to find him in one of the holding cells. Val, his so-called girlfriend, had not set foot inside. After your visit, you stormed off to find Miles and almost beaten him to a pulp, shouting curse words at the top of your voice, berating him, screaming that Miles should have been in that jail cell with him.
“Some bloody friend you are!”
“(Y/N), I'm sorry. It just got out of hand.”
“Out of hand?! Out of fucking hand!?!?”
The shouting had escalated and had become so loud that it woke Ashley's son. You'd ran out in tears.
Since Collin had convicted, you visited him when you were able to. Sometimes with Miles, or Ashley, just sometimes alone. It made you happy to see that he was okay. To know that he was safe. According to Miles, Val never visited. Not that you were bothered by this. Just to know he was fine and doing as he was told in order to get out, you were happy. Once he was out, you happily went to see Collin out of prison. As soon as he was near, you hugged him for dear life, not wanting to let go. You both went to the safe house for him to get settled in and the next day, you both went to see Miles, Ashley and their son.
As time went by, and for Collin it seemed too slow, you helped him get back on his feet; although you'd not been happy when Collin had landed himself a job in the same vicinity as his ex.
Collin deserved better.
On the last day of Collin's probation, everything spiralled for you. Again.
You were sitting at the kitchen table with Ashley as she calmed herself down. Thankfully, Sean was in bed asleep.
“Why the fuck would that moron bring a gun into this house?” you asked, incredulously.
“Fuck knows why.” Ashley hissed, wiping away her tears. “Stupid hipster wannabe trying to act tough, thinking a gun is the best option.”
“The gun wasn't loaded was it?”
“Yeah, it was.”
“Shit.” you breathed. “Why didn't Collin talk him out of it?”
“You know what Miles is like: goes in one ear and out the other.”
“So, they're both getting rid of the gun?”
“Yeah. I hope so, anyway.”
Suddenly, you both heard the front door slam open and closed and the hurry of footsteps.
“Babe?”
It was Miles.
“What have you done now, you asshole?” Ashley snapped.
You both looked round to see Miles standing there, a few cuts on his face and hands. And he was alone.
Ashely's eyes widened at the state he was in. “What the fuck?”
Ashley bounded over to him. You looked behind Miles, right at the doorway, waiting for Collin to follow on behind. But as the seconds passed, Collin never showed up.
“Where's Collin?” you asked, not taking your eyes off that one spot.
“He walked off after we argued.”
You stared at Miles. “And you didn't follow him?” Your heart was racing, your stomach churning into knots. “You mean that he's still out there?! With that officer?!”
“(Y/N), I'm sure he's fine. He's just...”  
But what else Miles said you didn't hear. Everything was muffled, Miles talking, the every now and then traffic that went by. Your breath was becoming hitched, uneven, too quick.
You were hyperventilating!
“(Y/N)? (Y/N), can you hear me? Look at me.”
You tried to hold on to Ashley's voice as the panic attack rang through you. Your vision was obscured...
...Then everything went black for you.
                                                 *****************
You woke up in a small room with a curtain shutting off the outside world to you. But you weren't alone. Ashley was there, sitting at your bedside. She glanced over at you and smiled when she noticed you were awake.
“Morning, sleepy head.” she chirped.
“H-hey.” you said, groggily. “What-what happened?”
“You passed out on us, sweetie.”
“I passed out?”
“Yeah, you had us worried.”
“Where's Miles?”
“Staying at home with Sean.”
“And does Collin...?”
“Yes, I rang him when we got here. He's worried but he's coming to see you tomorrow...if you're still here.”
“And he's o-okay?”
“Yeah, he's fine. He's home, safe and sound.”
You nodded.
The doctor came in with Ashley on his heels and checked you over. He told you that the fainting spell had been brought on by stress and resulted in a panic attack enough to make you pass out. They also wanted to keep you in for overnight observation until you were better.
You said goodbye to Ashley as you were being transferred to a small ward and slept well knowing that Collin was safe.
                                               ***************
The next morning, you woke up to find a sleeping Collin by your bed. He was leaning over at your bedside with his head on top of his folded arms. He looked so peaceful. You shuffled onto your left side, being careful not to disturb him and gently ran your fingers through his braids. But sensation made him stir.
He blinked his eyes awake and looked up at you. “Hey.”
“Hey.”
“Sorry. Didn't know I fell asleep.”
“It's okay. Are you okay? What happened last night with you and Miles?”
“We got into an argument and I went off home. I just...I just reached boiling point and...”
He trailed off. Noticing his discomfort, you cupped his cheek and soothed it with your thumb.
“And then Ashley called me when I was home and I've been nothing but worried.”
“You don't have to be worried about me, Collin. As long as you're safe--.”
“But I do anyway. (Y/N), you've always been by my side. You've always been a good friend to me, (N/N). I honestly don't know how you can put up with me.”
“With a lot of alcohol.” you teased.
Collin laughed at your joke. After a small comfortable silence, he spoke again.
“(Y/N), there's something I need to tell you.”
“Yeah?”
“I...I...I really don't know how to put this but...since I was in prison, I've...I've started to feel something for you.”
“You-you mean?”
“I think it maybe more than friendship.” Collin said. “I know I've put you through a lot. And I can't believe it's taken me this long to figure it out.”
You slowly sat up, your body aching with lack of movement from the night before. You stared at Collin, bewilderedly what he had said. “You-you—?”
“I understand if you don't feel the same way.”
“Don't feel the same way?! Collin, I've had feelings for you, longer than you had feelings for Val. I've loved you since we'd left college. When you introduced me to Val, I was heartbroken. Didn't you even notice how off I was that day? Ashley could see it a mile away. But I still wanted to be near you despite you and Val being together. Did it not even occur to you when I always coming to prison, no matter what day it was, I was always came? I had to know if you were okay. When you were locked away, I was constantly worried for you. Throughout this whole parole, I've been worried about you. Almost making myself sick because I still loved you and I was always thinking of you. I've been terrified that I was going to lose you again, and since that guy got shot I've been scared shitless because I thought you'd be next.”
You could feel tears coming down your cheeks as you spoke, your vision blurring but it didn't stop you from talking.
“I was scared that I wouldn't see you again if that cop saw you, recognised you and put bullets in you. I've been scared that you would never feel the same about me. That you loved Val, more than you loved me. So, yes, Collin, I do love you--.”
Collin sprang in his seat, moving in towards you and hugging you, tightly. The tears spilling from your eyes and you clung to him, desperately. He was hushing you, stopping you from crying.
“Don't make yourself even more ill, babe. I'm not really that worth it.”
“You've always been worth it.” you whimpered, trying to steady yourself to breathe calmly.
When he managed to calm you down, you pulled back a little, allowing Collin to brush the tears away with his thumb.
“And so are you, (Y/N). I'm an idiot for not realising sooner.”
“You're not an idiot, sweetie.”
“Yeah, but I'm yours.”
Giggling at his terrible joke, you pulled him in for your first kiss.

DBH - Mod Job
I was honestly a bit lost on who to write about next, before @british-hero suggested I write about how Dakota met Val. So here you go, a look at the lovely Dakota and how she blossomed into the beautiful woman she is.
---
    She doesn't quite remember when it really hit her, but Dakota always knew something just wasn't right about her situation.
You'd think it odd than an android wouldn't be able to remember such important details like that, that went against their base programming and made them outliers of a normal standard of quality, but really when you're a deviant you find that there's a margin for error when retaining memories.
Especially ones that just made her feel...Wrong.
    She served a small household, bought to be the emotional and sexual partner of a single father. He'd just recently come out as a homosexual, despite having been married for a couple of years and having a young daughter.
Naturally this hadn't gone down well with his wife and they'd gotten a divorce, with Mr. Crane keeping full custody of their daughter.
And then he'd bought her...And that's where the issue began.
Because at the time of her purchase, Dakota hadn't been aware of her plight.
At the time she didn't even know she was female.
    CX100s were a step up from the formulaic domestic androids. They'd come out around the same time as AP700s, specializing in different aspects of a life within a household.
While the AP700s were meant to maintain a house and helping a family, CX100s were meant to be more. They were meant to be partners for those who sought the more compliant nature of an android, satisfying both ends of an intimate relationship.
Their female counterpart models, the BL100, were designed to do the very same thing with the one minor difference being the gender presented and the accessories that came with them.
When Hugo Crane bought Dakota, he wanted to explore his newly discovered sexual preference, so he'd gone for the CX100 model.
He'd called her David, and that's when the first cracks started forming in the red wall that kept her from grimacing.
    Really it wasn't his fault that he'd chosen the wrong android, and Dakota did feel bad for him… But that changed when he'd begun being more demanding with her performance.
His daughter, Patricia, was less of an unpleasant company and, as a result, Dakota had gravitated towards her.
 “David, can you help me with my hair?”
 “Certainly…” he'd sat down with her and picked up a brush and a few bobby pins, stopping when she'd given him a pair of scissors instead.
 “I want you to cut it, not style it.” She'd instructed.
Patricia had very long hair that she'd grown out for four years. She kept it nicely trimmed and silky soft, and it had been alarming that she'd just want to get rid of it all of a sudden.
 “You're thinking.”
 “Oh...I'm just, why would you want to cut it?” She'd asked, unsure of if she should proceed as ordered or not. It had gotten very hard to comply to certain orders since the cracks had begun forming.
 “I don't like it anymore.” Patricia replied, watching Dakota intently before turning around and sitting down. “You know, your light goes yellow when you're thinking.”
 “I'm an android, I don't think.” She'd replied as she'd begun a deed she did not like. It felt bad cutting such lovely locks because of a sudden change of opinion.
 “But you do. And there's a lot of them that think that have been showing up on the news...I know you're like that too, but only just figuring it out.” The girl paused “Like dad.”
 “...Yes, like Mr. Crane.”
Dakota was careful with each precise cut, making sure to not butcher the girl's hair.
 “A boy at school kept pulling on it.”
Dakota paused.
 “He said I'm too much of a tomboy to have nice hair. That if I liked sports and playing rough I'd get my hair yanked a lot and that I'd cry because I'm a girl…” she was trying to be nonchalant about it, but Dakota knew she was upset.
 “It's stupid that a girl can't like boy things just because she has pretty hair.”
 “Yes...I suppose it is.”
 “It's also stupid that you pretend it's ok when we call you David.”
She didn't answer, instead giving Patricia a mirror so she could have a look at her hair.
She'd bobbed it for her. It didn't look half bad.
 “I don't know what to do about it...Mr. Crane bought a male partner, that's what I must be for him.”
 “Says who? Your instruction manual?”
 “Well...Yes?” The cracks spiderwebbed up the wall, and Dakota felt ill.
 “Well fuck that.”
 “Patricia!”
 “What, it's true! You're not happy here, and there's a lot of androids out there that ran away to be happy...To be themselves!” the girl insisted. “It's not fair you have to hide.”
 “But I have to…”
 “No you don't!”
And the wall broke.
Each chunk of shattered code disintegrated and Dakota could think clearer than day.
She could agree.
 “Dakota.”
 “Uh?”
 “...I like the name Dakota.”
And the girl, with her newly cut hair, smiled widely and helped her pack up a few essentials before the CX100 ran into the streets without looking back.
    She remembers meeting Val. That memory is much clearer than her first instances of hating her dead name.
The young latina girl seeks her out, which is the oddest part of their encounter. She later learns Patricia sent the modder an anonymous request through some online username she'd made up on the spot, while her father reported Dakota as missing property.
 “So, I got an interesting email saying a chick named Dakota just turned deviant and was in need of some help.” The girl clicked her tongue “I'll say, I was expecting an AX400...Color me impressed sugar, never did meet an android who wanted to transition.”
The cheap wig and baggy clothes probably weren't fooling anyone...Well honestly yes, they really didn't do much for her.
She looked male in all of the senses and she'd been at her wits end to make herself  just feel right.
Blessed be that wonderful little girl to send her conserns to such a...crass guardian angel…
With nothing to lose, Dakota followed her to her apartment.
 “It's no five star hotel, but it's yours if you wanna hang out until further notice. Shits going wild out there...Fuckin military's been patrolling the streets and hunting deviants like they're wild animals…” Val explained as she took out her keys “They want us to evacuate, but nana Agnes told the prick who's been badgering our building to eat shit and die. None of us have money to go across the border.”
 “And you have money to...Help me?” She'd asked, uncertain.
 “Baby girl, it ain't just Jericho going out looting stores. Modder community is flipping it's shit because it's basically the Purge out there!” The girl hollered as she unlocked the door. “After dark, fuck the law! I got deviants up my anus asking for new faces so they can leave this city while it burns, so I gotta provide.”
Dakota looked around at the basement floor apartment. It was basically all one room, with at least one closed door leading to what she could only hope was a bathroom.
It was by all definitions, a shoebox full to the brim with various bits and pieces. There was also a massive dog watching TV.
 “Regi we got a guest! Don't be fuckin rude!”
The dog looked up lazily before snorting and moving to a mini fridge. He gnawed at the handle before pulling it open, revealing various cans of drinks and packets of thirium, as well as leftover pizza. “Good boy!”
Dakota watched as the dog unceremoniously grabbed a packet of thirium and moved over to give it to her. The LED on its temple confirmed it was an android.
 “Modded his specs myself. He's legit the smartest guy I know, Artyum is second best.”
 “Artyum?”
 “Fourth floor neighbor. Buys me booze and food sometimes.” She shrugged “Closest thing I got to a friend in this city. We talk engineering when we get sad and drunk, it's glorious.”
 “I...Where are your parents…?”
 “Dead somewhere in Mexico. Ask the jackass who deported them, I donno.”
Dakota felt something crawl in her veins that probably wasn't spoiled or contaminated blue blood.
 “You're...You're all alone?”
 “Nah. I got Regi, got Artie and his buddy Sergei, and I also got nana Agnes and the rest of the misfits in this shithole. We're all kinda like family so meh…” The girl seemed to be looking for something while she spoke. “And the androids I've helped. They send me messages from time to time...Bunch of runaway sweeties.”
 “And you just...live off people's kindness and offer deviants illegal makeovers?”
 “Pretty much.”
 “No school?”
 “Cyberlife fucked that up for me. Fucked a lot of my life actually…”
 “...Which I take is why you're being so gracious about your...Skills?”
 “Bullseye. Cyberlife wants to bitch out of this situation they made? Hell nah, I'm not letting them get a free jail pass card. We ain't playing Monopoly, we're playing Battleship and I'm sinking their flimsy freighters.” She found what she was looking for, a large clunky toolbox. “We who're with android freedom are gonna kick their corporate asses down into the grave they dug...After that's done, I'm gonna piss on it.”
 “...”
 “Hey, don't worry sugar. I got you. Gonna make you look hella fine too, you're definitely gonna be my greatest mod job.”
She hadn't been lying.
As crude and bitter as Val appeared, the girl and her friend Artyum were a duo of sweethearts.
Dakota could finally shed the final ties between her and her dead identity, leaving the apartment looking every bit the woman she felt she was, as most of Detroit's human population evacuated, leaving behind the androids and their hidden human supporters.
She didn't need to remember how it started. All she needed was to know her story had a happy ending.

Jae-ha
@thedragonsweek2019
Day Three of The Dragons Week 2019 Prompts! Jae-ha’s turn with his little girl! As if I need excuses to write that XD Actually for this one I think I’m going to continue off the last prompt I wrote with Jae-ha and Lina, where everyone was sick, but instead now it’s his turn. For reference Valerie is my OC and married to Hak, their son is named Ura.
“Well I have to say this is improved from the last time I felt this sick…” Jae-ha mused as he was laying down in the tent, sighing as he turned to his wife by his side checking his temperature. “But really you should stay back Yona dear, I’d hate for you to catch this back.”
 “I’ll be fine.” Yona said stubbornly, placing a wet cloth on his forehead. “I wasn’t sick for very long, besides with Yoon falling ill Valerie has to tend to Hak, Kija, Shin-ah and Ura now.”
 “Still, the little one needs you to stay healthy.” Jae-ha commented, running his hand over her swollen abdomen.
 The princess snorted a laugh. “With everything I went through during my pregnancy with Lina, this is nothing. Trust me the baby will be fine, but we need papa back in full strength.” She then frowned as she stroked his cheek. “… You’re not still feeling weaker are you?”
 “No, it’s not that.” Jae-ha sighed and closed his eyes. “I did ask Zeno just in case if I felt like…. You know.” He didn’t want to bring up his inescapable death at a time like this, but the Yellow Dragon did say before he felt when other dragons were nearing their end. “We just maybe need to pack up camp and head closer to Kouka to recover better odds are, which is kind of hard with our Thunder Beast falling ill right now… Just please tell me Kija’s village didn’t try to offer us some weird cough drops again.”
 “They did but Yoon tossed them out the moment he got them away from Kija.” Yona laughed, smiling as she stroked her husband’s cheek. “Shin-ah and Kija are slowly getting better, so maybe we can start heading back to Kouka so that all three of you recover faster. Though Yoon was pointing out despite all that Lina is as healthy as a horse.”
 “Still, I’d hate for the little dear to fall ill.” Jae-ha noted.
 “Mommy? How is daddy doing?” Lina poked her head into the tent as if on cue, Ao perched on her shoulder. “Auntie Valerie said to bring this.” She handed her mother a cup with a colored liquid inside.
 “Thanks Lina, you should go ahead and play with Ao for now.” Yona smiled, helping Jae-ha sit up to take the medicine.
 “But I want to stay by daddy…” Lina pouted. “Everyone else is sick too but they chased me out of there.”
 “We just don’t want you to become ill either Lina-chan.” Jae-ha smiled, petting her on the head.
 “I’ll be fine!” Lina said stubbornly, hugging her father tightly. “… Daddy’s weaker because of me after all.” She whimpered. “If I can cheer him up so he feels better I wanna help!”
 “Oh Lina…” Yona frowned, after all it had only been a few weeks since the little girl had found out her father would eventually lose his life once Lina gained all his powers.
 “Well considering she has both our stubbornness combined, I’d say there’s no talking her out of it, Yona dearest.” Jae-ha chuckled, stroking their daughter’s hair. “Why don’t you go ahead and help Val out? I’ll be fine with my little nurse here.”
 “Alright, just don’t overdo it, husband.” Yona smiled, kissing his cheek and petting Lina on the head before heading out of the tent.
 “Says the one that’s pregnant and always overdoes everything.” Jae-ha smiled as Lina sat in his lap as he stroked her hair. “So how about a story then Lina dear?”
 “But daddy you should be resting.” Lina pointed out.
 “Well I can’t really sleep with my head hurting so thinking about something else might get my mind off it.” Jae-ha shrugged. “Besides I enjoy telling my precious treasure anything she likes to hear, especially the stories involving her beautiful mother.”
 “Ok then, how did the baby get inside mommy?” Lina asked.
 Jae-ha nearly choked on the drink in his hand as he blushed madly, shaking his head. “Lina, just what brought this up?”
 “Well when I asked why momma’s stomach got bigger you said she has a baby in there.” Lina pointed out, of course Yona immediately tried to change the subject before the Green Dragon said too much. “But mommy seemed to get upset talking about it, and Grandma Yoon said I was too young to understand. Auntie Valerie said she’d tell me when I’m older, but I really wanna know.”
 “Well you came out of mommy’s stomach too you know.” Jae-ha chuckled, trying to figure out how to explain to the small child without saying it directly as he knew he’d get a scolding from his wife for that one. He really didn’t see the shame in it, after all he was very openly affectionate with Yona even in front of their daughter, who always just giggled seeing her parents so in love. “And you have my leg so think about it little one, you were born out of the love your mother and I have. Just like Ura was born out of your Uncle Hak and Aunt Valerie’s love.”
 “But how does that work?” Lina was still confused. “Does it just show up when you kiss mommy a lot?”
 Jae-ha chuckled at that. “No, no, no sweetie otherwise you’d have a hundred siblings by now.” He snickered at the mere thought, shaking his head. “Just know that when you find someone you really love, one day when you’re older you’ll be able to make a baby too, and she or he will be cute as a button like you.” He poked her on the nose. “Maybe one day you and Ura will have cute little baby dragon beasts.” He laughed.
 “Daaadddyyy!” Lina swatted his shoulder. “You know Uncle Darkness Dragon hates it when you joke about me marrying Ura one day! And he’s my cousin!”
 “So? Kissing cousins are quite adorable.” Jae-ha continued to laugh as she smacked him again. “Oh come on, I saw you blushing the other day when he said your jumps were so cool!”
 “DADDY! DON’T SAY THAT!” Lina protested, crossing her arms in a huff as her cheeks were bright red.
 “Oh come now, your mother had a crush on her cousin so it runs in the family.” Jae-ha pointed out.
 “Huh? Mommy didn’t always just love you?” Lina was suddenly interested now.
 Seeing as this derailed the subject about where babies came from, the Green Dragon continued. “This was long before daddy met mommy, sweetie. But yes she had a really bad crush on her cousin, just it didn’t work out.” He of course left it vague, not wanting to go into too many details. “But then she went on her journey with Hak and eventually met your Uncle Kija who lead them to Uncle Shin-ah and myself. Ahhh I still remember just how beautiful your mother looked the moment she realized I was the beautiful Ryokuryuu and she captivated my heart.” He swooned, placing a hand over his chest for dramatic effect. “Sometimes Lina dear you don’t realize when someone will come by and steal your heart away, though be careful when it happens.” He then hugged her closely. “After all papa isn’t gonna wanna give up his little girl and will be very judgmental who is fitting to be by her side.”
 “Daddy! I don’t wanna get married, I wanna be strong like mommy and take care of myself!” Lina protested.
 Jae-ha just laughed and shook his head. “I swear that’s the Ryokuryuu blood in you talking, since we hate to be tied down. Just wait little one when you get older you’ll find the one you want to be your partner in life, just like daddy did.” He smiled and stroked her cheek. “After all daddy didn’t ever want to be tied down, just mommy got the big chain and caught me. But I was stubborn and didn’t give in right away, just one day I realized I can’t stand to be away from her.” He looked dreamy while looking at the opening in the tent where he could spot Yona helping Valerie with making lunch. “She’s the most beautiful and amazing person I ever met, her inner strength is admirable and keeps her going, and it’s not just the dragon’s blood that makes me want to care for her, keep her safe, I want to see her smile and laugh, as it gets my heart going. She’s understanding and sees things other people don’t, she doesn’t let her small size hold her back and continues to surprise me even to this day.” He blinked when he realized he was blushing a bit as Lina’s giggling snapped out of gushing over his wife.
 “You always have that funny look when you talk about mommy.” Lina explained as she was laughing.
 “Well excuse your papa for getting all absorbed in your lovely mother.” Jae-ha chuckled, petting his daughter on the head. “See that kind of look is what you should find in a husband for yourself one day, but not too soon.” He winked at her. “When all he can see in his world is you, and you see nothing but his face when you dream. That’s a start in the right direction, but that look that you think is funny what true love looks like, Lina dear.”
 “Mommy makes a similar face when talking about you too.” Lina said with a smile.
 “And we both do at the same time when talking about someone very special to us.” Jae-ha added.
 The little Green Dragon tilted her head. “Oh? Who is that daddy?”
 Jae-ha smiled as he poked her on the nose. “Why you of course, my precious treasure. Because we both love you so much, you’re our whole world.”
 Lina smiled wide at that, getting teary eyed. “Oh daddy! I love you and mommy too!” she kissed his cheek and hugged him tightly, she then whimpered a bit in his arms. “That’s why I hate it that I’m the reason you’re going to… To…” she choked.
 “Lina… It’s alright.” Jae-ha smiled, petting her on the head. “One day everyone goes to heaven and we never know when that is, and besides I’m not leaving you and mommy just yet. After all I must meet your little brother or sister when they’re born right? Also I just have to be there to judge your first boyfriend.” He joked. “Only the best can I trust with my little treasure.”
 Lina couldn’t help but giggle a bit at his joke. “Daddy…. Please don’t leave us anytime soon. Me and mommy really need you.”
 “I know little one, I know…” Jae-ha sighed as he hugged her tightly. “Thankfully we Ryokuryuu are very stubborn, and I plan on being your mother’s legs for as long as possible…”
