The Mandalorian X Modern! Male Reader

|| Masterlist ||

Summary: Din and Grogu somehow find their way to earth, hiding in the readers house for the meantime while he tries to repair his ship in order to get them back home. But, what happens when Din and Grogu celebrate Christmas with the reader?

Warnings: Fluff, humor, Langauge, Grogu is a cute alien, presents, just pure fluff

—

Din has been stuck on earth for almost two weeks now and his process on fixing the ship has been slow. It was hard finding the materials he needed when this planet didn’t have anything useful. Him and Grogu have been staying out of sight and have been living with a strange man that they met along the way. He was trustworthy and caring and Grogu seemed to have grown an attachment towards the man.

Din couldn’t get blame Grogu for getting attached, the man had helped them through the last couple of days and had tried his best to help them and hopefully they can finish the repairs as soon as possible. But somehow today wasn’t the day to do repairs. It has been snowing non stop and the snow could only pile up as minutes goes by. It was his first time seeing the snow pile up in this way.

Grogu had his tiny face pressed up against the large living window as he watches the snow fall, cooing every once an while as his ears twitch up and down. “It’s going to be snowing for the next couple of days.” Said y/n as he enters the living room with some blankets in hand, setting them down on the couch as he sighs. “Weather forecast said that we can end up with a few inches of snow, so I’m not surprised.”

Din was sitting next to kid as he listens to y/n explain. “What about my ship?”

“It’s hidden deep in the woods and no one will come out during a storm like this, trust me.” Y/n reassured him with a small smile. It was still weird for him to see the Mandalorian wearing the helmet while also wearing modern clothes. He remembers the first time he mentioned the helmet to Din, telling him if he was going to remove it but in return the Mandalorian had scoffed at him and refused to remove it, explaining to him that it was part of his creed, Something that he had no idea about. Instead of pestering the Mandalorian he leaves him alone and lets him do as he pleases without causing any trouble.

“Besides it’s Christmas Eve, no one goes out into the woods since everyone is busy with family.” He explains as he wraps Grogu up in a warm blanket, causing the child to squeal happily and to nuzzle his face against the soft material. Y/n hands Din a blanket and sits down next to him. “What’s Christmas?” Asked Din, accepting the blanket and placing it on his lap.

Y/n’s eyes widen. “Do you not celebrate Christmas from where you are from?”

Din shakes his head. “Never heard of it.”

“Right...different planet.” He mumbles out as he bites his lip and tries his best to explain the holday, not wanting to complicate the explanation. “Christmas is about giving and loving. It’s the one holiday where we show kindness to others, but if your religious then Christmas is a different meaning for most people.” He says. “You see, here on earth, people gather together with their families and spend time with them.”

Din tilts his head to the side and asks. “If Christmas is about being with family then why are you here with me instead of them?”

Y/n shyly looks down as he plays with the blanket in his own lap. “I don’t—I don’t have anyone.” He whispers to him. “My parents died in an accident and I was the only child, I’ve spent most of my life alone...”

Grogu is able to sense the others sadness, his ears falling back as he walks over to y/n and grabs one of his fingers, cooing up at him as the other gently chuckles. “It’s okay, I’m used to it.” He shrugs it off like it’s nothing.

Din on the other hand understands the feeling of being alone. He too has been alone for a long time, he did have his covert once but now it’s all gone and it’s just him and the kid. A small clan of two.

“You have us now.” He blurts out.

Y/n blushes deeply and chuckles nervously. “You two have only been here for two weeks, soon you and Grogu will be going back home.” He reminds Din as he plays with the kids tiny hands before letting out a deep breath.

“Anyways, since I tried my best to explain Christmas why not celebrate it a day early?” He beams out with a smile on his face.

Both Grogu and Din look at y/n with a confused look. “What?”

Y/n laughs as he sits up and walks over to the small Christmas tree that he had. “I’ve only know you for two weeks so I took the time to at least get you and the kid something.” He shrugs. “I just really like—giving gifts to others.” He mumbles out shyly as he collects the gifts that he had gotten awhile back.

Walking back to din and Grogu he sits down in front of them and hands out the gifts. “Three for you—and three for you.” He sets the wrapped up gifts in front of the two.

Din can only stare at the presents in front of him while Grogu coos in curiosity and picks up one of gifts, snatching off the bow as it sticks to his hand. He squeals in excitement and tugs on Din to show him.

The Mandalorian gazes towards the child and smiles under the helmet before turning back to y/n. “You don’t need to give us anything.”

“I already told you! I like giving presents during Christmas, besides think of it as a farewell gift.” He tells Din, shoving the gifts closer to the older man. “Just open them.”

Din hesitates, reaching out to grab one of the smaller gifts. He takes his time unwrapping it as Grogu watches him, taking the small Influence as he too unwraps his gifts.

For din, he receives a pair of leather gloves, a warm coat and a harness for the kid. “What’s this for?” He asks, holding the child harness up as y/n grins. “I’ll show you, later.” He winks at the Mandalorian before turning over to see Grogu tearing open the gifts. He coos happily as he holds up the stuffed frog in his hands, showing Din. “Try not to eat it.” He tells the kid as y/n laughs.

Grogu also received some of y/n’s favorite cookies and a new winter coat that would fit him perfectly. “I hope he enjoys the gifts, it isn’t much but at least he’ll have something to keep himself distracted.” He shrugs.

Din smiles. “I think he really likes it, kid doesn’t have many things but I think he will cherish these a lot.” He turns to y/n with a smile hidden behind the beskar helmet.

“Now, about this—“ he holds up the harness again.

Y/n takes it and laughs. “Trust me, your going to need this wherever you go.” He scoots closer to Grogu and picks up the kid. Adjusting the harness around him as he clips it on.

“Let’s go outside Grogu.” Said y/n. Taking the kid in his arms as they head towards the front door. Din follows along, curious to know what the harness is for. He watches y/n set the kid down and unlock the front door, letting the cold air in as Grogus brown eyes widen in joy. He points at the falling snow and quickly makes a rush for it.

Din panics a little and steps forward to snatch the kid up but Grogu is quickly stopped by the use of the harness. At the end on the harness their was a rope that y/n uses to make sure that the kid doesn’t end up running off somewhere he isn’t suppose to be.

“See? Everyone here uses a harness on their kids, prevents them from running away without parents noticing.”

“I guess you were right, this could come in handy.” Y/n chuckles, stepping forward he picks the kid up and closes the door. “Sorry kid, but it’s snowing and cold outside. We have to stay indoors to stay warm.”

Grogu glares at y/n for tricking him, turning away from the human as he pouts. Y/n rolls his eyes and sets the kid down, unclipping the harness and handing it to din.

“Thank you—for the gifts.” Said Din.

“You are welcome, I mean—I don’t know much about where you are from or your culture. I wanted to make something that’ll maybe remind you of home but I couldn’t think of anything and right now this—“ he gestured towards the kid who went back to play with his stuffed frog and eating the cookies. “This was all I could think of, you know?”

Y/n sighs sadly. “Home isn’t a place it’s the people that are their for you.” He whispers out but loud enough for din to hear.

Din has only know y/n for two weeks but somehow today he was able to learn a lot more about him. He now knows, that y/n was the only child in his family, meaning that he doesn’t have anyone.

He takes a look around the place and noticed how their aren’t any signs of other people living here or people who would come and visit.

Y/n was alone.

Din walks over to the kid and bends down to pick him up, walking over to y/n he says. “Our ship will be ready soon and will be leaving in a few days.” Y/n gives him a small smile. “At least you’ll be heading back somewhere familiar.” He says, trying to lighten up the mood.

“Why don’t you come with us?”

“What?”

“Come with us—with me.”

Y/n open and closes his mouth, not knowing what to say. “I—why?”

Din sighs. “After only knowing you for awhile, I can tell that your lonely and besides—“ he sets the kid down. “You don’t have much here, you have no family to visit and you live alone. Would anyone really notice that you left?” He questions. “If you come with me and Grogu, I promise you that you’ll never be alone.”

Y/n chews on his lip nervously as he thinks about the offer. Din was right, he didn’t have much here. He lived alone by the country side and didn’t have many friends, he spends his time locked indoors by himself. He usually declines offers from people he’s worked with since he never felt comfortable around them but with Din.

Din made him feel comfortable and coming home to see him and the kid made him feel happy.

“I guess traveling with you wouldn’t be so bad?” He softly responded to Din, slowly giving him a smile.

Grogu was the first to burst out into a cheer, throwing his little arms in the air as he squeals happily at the news. The two adults break out into a laugh as y/n shakes his head. “I wouldn’t mind seeing a new thing or two.”

“Trust me, you’ll see a lot of stuff that you don’t see here on earth.” Said Din, picking up the kid who clings onto him. “Guess a new adventure starts sooner than I thought.” Y/n says to himself as the three of them went back to the living room to continue playing with Grogu and to start planning for their leave.

For the next thirty (Santi x GN reader blurb)

Summary: You get lonely around the holidays. Turns out, you’re not the only one.

Author’s note: It’s a super quick + short one. I’m in my Triple Frontier feels tonight. I may even have a Will blurb for you shortly. Idek what this is. It’s a Christmas holiday fic. Why? Idek. Frenchie is your call-sign. I told you: idek.

Warnings: swearing, kissing. Mention of alcohol. Mistakes.

GIF: @realoscarisaac

“You ever wanna get married, Frenchie?” Frankie asks you merrily, taking a generous swig of beer.

You blink at him from across the table, taken aback by the sudden tangent in the conversation.

“Shit, ‘Fish. Where did that come from?”

You were generously hosting Squad Christmas for yet another year in a row. It was a lot of effort to host, but it was worth it, as, in return, the boys always ticked-off a ton of your annoying holiday tasks. You were clever about it, of course, and you plied them with enough beer and snacks that they either pretended not to be wise to your game, or they ceased to mind so much.

Even now, you are sat with Frankie and Will, readying to wrap all of your family gifts, and Benny and Santi are outside in the cold, kindly hanging your Christmas lights. Or, at least, you can hear Santi’s version of “helping” through the window, which seems to consist of yelling orders at Benny from the ground as the Miller brother snipes back.

Frankie looks at you cheekily as he hands you another tote full of gifts to set out on the table.

“Y’ know. Asking everyone,” he says casually, voice layered with far too much innocence, and a throaty chuckle rattling his chest. Yeah, he’s definitely up to something. “Asking all the single people I know. Asked Pope earlier. Asking you. I mean, cariño? It’s common knowledge people get lonely around the holidays.”

“People do, I’ve heard that from people,” Will nods emphatically, with a knowing, conspiratorial smile between him and Frankie.

You arch an eyebrow, not having any of this bullshit.

“Savage, ‘Fish. Fuckin’ brutal,” you complain.

“You plan on it - settling down?” ‘Fish presses, with no shame.

“What would I get out of marriage, huh?” you dismiss. “Someone to ask me honey, where are the scissors? for the next 30 years? Doesn’t sound worth the hassle.”

Frankie shrugs and opens his mouth to protest, but you cut in.

“Besides,” you protest. “Who’d wanna spend that much time with me anyway?”

“Maybe we know someone. Could fix you up,” Will smiles, a shit-eating grin inching over his face.

“Oh yeah!” Fish adds. “Don’t we know a guy, Miller?” Frankie says, slapping Will on the upper arm.

“If you know him, he’s probably a shit head. I want nothin’ to do with him.”

“Oh yeah. He’s a shithead, for sure. Complete pendejo,” Frankie laughs, shoulders shaking. There’s another conspiratorial look between him and the Miller brother. Miller bother, more like. Will exhales a laugh and looks down at the carpet, softly shaking his head at Frankie.

You brush it off, not concerned with their attempts at meddling. More concened, in truth, by the fact you were a little lonely so close to the holidays, much as you were determined not to admit it. Less lonely, perhaps, because you’ve had the boys for company... especially Santi of late. Maybe he got lonely around the holidays too.

“Look, less chat more wrapping, pendejos.”

The pair back-off, palms raised, their deep laughter still washing over you, and Will looks down at the unfurled roll of wrapping paper on the surface in front of him.

“For real though, where are the scissors, Frenchie?”

You are about to come up with some fitting comeback -something about how you don’t need a spouse when you already have four dumbasses to annoy you- but before you can tease him or answer his question, Santi breezes back into the house with Benny in tow, responding on auto-pilot.

“Kitchen or craft, hermano? If you mean craft -in a basket in the top of the linen cupboard, and if you mean kitchen - third drawer from the left.”

When Santi responds, all of you -Benny included- converge on the man, slack-jawed, and in silent disbelief.

The significance and the seredipity of this is not lost on you.

Nervously, Santi looks around at the eyes on him and unsettles his baseball cap from his head, rasping his palm over his hair and then trailing it down over his stubble.

“What?” he asks as Will breaks the silence with a snort of laughter and yet another conspiratorial glance at ‘Fish. The men’s faces crease with silent mirth.

“What, dickheads? Was that weird? Shit, do I spend too much time here?” he asks self-consciously.

It was a small thing. A small sign of familiarity. Yet somehow, it is enough for you to realise Santi is everything you want. And that maybe, probably, he might want you too.

“Not enough, turns out,” you breathe, rising from your seat with the sudden realisation, and, to everyone’s surprise -especially yours- you grab Santi by his t-shirt and pull him to your lips for an open-mouthed kiss.

Santi responds immediately, melting into you like he’s been waiting for this for a long time, his arms wrapping around you as if you are a gift he is folding into his embrace, his kiss hot and heavy as he moves his supple lips and tongue against you and grazes you with the fiery rasp of his stubble.

Woops and shouting from the other boys draw you back into the room, and, as if suddenly realising what you’re doing, you push your palms to Santi’s chest and practically throw him off you.

“Fuck, honey,” Santi asks, looking kiss-drunk and hotter than you’ve ever seen him. “Not that I’m complaining but what was that for?”

“People get lonely around the holdays,” you offer innocently.

“So I’ve heard,” Santi frowns, looking over at Frankie and Will trying desperately to supress a laugh.

God, you want to kiss him again.

“Do you wanna... talk? Away from these assholes?”

You nod, yes, and you grab his hand and lead him into the kitchen, away from prying eyes, where you very much intend on... talking. And then, making-out up against the counter until your legs are weak and your face is raw with stubble burn.

“Hey, wait, just one question,” Frankie pleads, and the two of you are stupid enough to turn back to him, each arching an eyebrow.

“Well?”

“You ever wanna get married, Frenchie?”

You stick a middle finger up at your dear friend and escape, as the Miller bothers join his fits of laughter- Benny susceptible depsite not even being in on the joke.

Regardless, you lead Santi towards the kitchen, where you talk, and you make-out until the two of you are pretty worked-up. Until you feel warm in the knowledge that this year, you may just be a litte less lonely for the holidays, after all. Maybe even for the next thirty, if you’re lucky.

Frankie and Will were right though, that guy they knew? Complete pendejo. but you love him, turns out. Have for a while. You just needed to realise it.

ficmas: day two for @aziraphalescrowley my darling chels! you are always supportive when i post things and i love to see what you’re into at the moment. the perfect mutual and i hope you have a wonderful holday season <3

i’m lost (and it kills me) inside eddie/buck, pre-actual lawsuit fallout because we deserved better

Eddie’s standing on his doorstep. “Lena wanted me to go to a fight.”

Buck’s world drops out from beneath him. “Eddie—”

Barging in, Eddie paces the length of Buck’s kitchen. He’s not usually so rude, and Buck’s got a million questions on his tongue. Where’s Chris, and why Lena, and Why are you here?

“You sued,” Eddie says, but he doesn’t sound accusatory. “I was going to listen to her and punch someone out because you left.”

The words bring Buck up short. “I didn’t—”

“Do you,” Eddie starts, cuts himself off. “I’m not supposed to be talking to you but,” an expression of distaste, a flicker, then vulnerability Buck doesn’t usually see, “I need my best friend.”

Buck’s world tilts again. “I just wanted to get my family back.”

Realization dawns, and Eddie takes an aborted step forward. “Buck. Jesus, you should have said.”

“I tried,” Buck manages, swallowing down the urge to cry. He’s so pathetic and he—

“Hey,” Eddie says, hand on Buck’s elbow. A pause and then, “are you okay?”

Nobody’s asked him that for a long time. Maybe Bobby during the tsunami but it wasn’t about Buck it was about the situation and, “No, no I’m not.”

Eddie says, “fuck,” quietly, and moves, like he’s going to hug Buck. Maybe he doesn’t want to. Maybe he’s— “What can I do?”

“Just stay,” Buck finds himself saying. The words are wrecked, torn from somewhere deep inside. Eddie’s expression doesn’t waver, his hands tighten on Buck’s arm. “For a little longer,” Buck continues. “Please.”

“You never have to ask,” Eddie says, tugging Buck forward. His nose rests at Buck’s temple, his fingers tight around Buck’s wrist, the back of his neck. “Whatever you need.”

Buck wants to ask why. Instead, he’s horrified to hear a sob leave his throat. Eddie lets him bury his face, forehead to shoulder, and turns his face into Buck’s hair instead. Buck doesn’t know what to do; whenever he’s fallen apart before, he’s been alone. Everyone leaves, Buck left so far behind he doesn’t think he’ll ever catch up. Maddie’s racing away from him, hand in hand with Chim. He’d never begrudge her that, ever, but it hurts to be considered so little. Bobby doesn’t want him to come back to work and everyone’s moved on and everyone’s always so far.

Eddie lets out a noise, as if it’s been punched out of him. “Buck.”

Oh, shit. “Did I say that out loud?”

There’s a sharp intake of breath. “You get left behind.”

“Yeah,” Buck starts.

Eddie tugs Buck away from his shoulder, a mimicry of their pose when Eddie dropped there’s nobody in this world I trust more with my son, easy and sure, like he wasn’t handing Buck the greatest gift he possesses. There’s fear and uncertainty in Eddie’s eyes, but there’s hope too. There’s love and a wealth of everything if Buck looks hard enough.

“Eddie,” he breathes.

“You get left behind,” Eddie repeats. Buck watches the way his throat bobs, the shine to Eddie’s eyes, the tongue darting to lick his lip. Tells that Eddie’s nervous; Buck knows him. The apprehension is almost too much to stand, but then Eddie’s saying, “I’m never enough.”

It’s the on the tip of Buck’s tongue to tell Eddie to fuck off, that’s not true because Eddie’s always enough. He’s never going to be anything less than enough for Buck. “You’re everything.”

Eddie looks surprised, mouth parted slightly.

Buck finds courage, twists his fingers in Eddie’s shirt and steps closer—it’s not even possible—and thinks if they press forward a touch more, they’ll be kissing. “You’re everything, Eddie. To me. To Chris. You’re everything.”

“Buck,” Eddie says, and this time it’s his vulnerability.

“You said it,” Buck plows on, does actually kiss Eddie, then, soft and certain. “If you’re enough for me, then,” a pause, “then maybe I won’t get left.”

Eddie looks a little wild around the eyes, but there’s not a hint of doubt anywhere. “Never.”

A voice in the back of Buck’s head always rings with but what if.

“Chris won’t,” Eddie promises. He knows Buck better than Buck knows himself, sometimes, must know what’s running through Buck’s head. “I won’t. Not unless you’re coming with me.”

“Nobody can make promises like that,” Buck tries.

Eddie shrugs, like he’s staring inevitability in the face and saying go fuck yourself. It sends a thrill up Buck’s spine to know someone wants him that much, loves him—

The word trips him up.

“Eddie, it’s not—”

The kiss is hot, threatens to send Buck crashing to the floor. Instead, Eddie backs him up against the counter, fingers splayed over Buck’s heart.It’s racing, has to be, because Eddie’s smile, seeing Eddie happy, will never not make Buck’s heart thump a mile a minute.

“I can make a promise like that,” Eddie says, closing his eyes, nose pressed to Buck’s cheek. They breathe for a moment, two, and then Eddie’s watching him again, the fear back in Eddie’s eyes. “Because I love you.”

The sob Buck lets out sounds loud in the silence left by Eddie’s declaration. “Eddie—”

“I love you,” Eddie says, voice certain. “I won’t leave you.”

It’s not enough to form belief—Buck’s working on years of abandonment, fear and hurt—but it’s enough to curl into Eddie, let Eddie wrap him up and whisper promises into his hair.

Buck lets out a long, slow breath. “I’ll stay for you.”

The soft noise Eddie makes, the tightening of his hold, and then Buck’s adding,

“I love you, too.”

So I am pretty upset today, and I apologize ahead of time to my followers for this little ramble of mine.

Whats really frustrating me right now are people who talk about doing this great thing of helping out our community around the holdays(volunteering in a soup kitchen, adopting a local family for gifts, sponsoring a meal, etc) and get all excited with you when you set up something for them to come and help, swear up and down they will all be there, and have you and others super happy because for once you might have extra hands at these events.

Then the day comes. You are setting up, group of friends aren't there yet. Well maybe they are running late, you think to yourself and you just continue on setting up with the others. No big deal.

A little more time passes and the families for this start to arrive. The group of friends you invited still haven't shown up. They will be here, You reassure yourself, a little less confidently. Maybe they were stuck in traffic?

The family party continues on and on, and everyone but you is having a good time. All you can think about are those friends who put you in this position. The volunteering staff is short 5 people, but they don't mind. It happens all the time here. The kiddos are laughing, parents chatting together. Who care?

Then the party is over. Some of the families take off, kids full of sugar, us volunteers help sneak bags of gifts into the trunks for them later. Well maybe they will come for clean up, you rationalize. After all, it is going to take a few hours.

Spoiler alert: these friends didn't show up. When I checked up on them later, it turns out they were intending to come but decided beforehand to go to lunch together, all 5 of them. They figured it was alright, set up was pretty much taken care of. By the time they finished with lunch, 2 of the party wanted to go check some shop nearby for some more comfortable shoes for this event (which I get. If you were sandals, and a kiddo runs by and gets your toes, little feet stepping on yours can really hurt.) But by the time they got done there, the event had started and they all figured it would be a waste of time and if they had shown up they would be disrupting the system we had in place already for who did what. No matter how many times I reiterated that it would be okay! And that any extra volunteers would be great at any time of arrival, even at the last minute, it just didnt seem to click with them. Two went on the defensive, saying that not everyone feels the way that I do about something like this ( they emphasized, idk what exactly they meant.volunteering? keeping a commitment?) but they tried their best and maybe next year we could all get together again. That the party was over already and water under the bridge and to just move on. I told them I couldn't accept that, and ended the conversation. A few have tried reaching out-assuming they feel guilty- offering to pop in with coffee or lunch, asking if there are any other opportunities this week to help out (there are, and I will let them know but I will not expect it.)

Guys its really easy to gaslight me. Really easy to just emotionally put a stop to my thinking, I was in a highly toxic and abusive relationship for years. I have been out of for almost 3 and learning to process emotions, take ownership for my own feelings, and realize I can't handle others emotions. I have been physically ill since this party on saturday, feeling both guilty for being angry at them for coming, and guilty for not adding more volunteer slots to the party roster (this is my responsibility with our center).

This morning, I just sort of sat back, and started to think about how miserable I was, but them being there didn't ruin the event. Everyone there had fun, and we really met all of our goals. And I do have a strong passion for this. I love our community center, the work we do with the kids, and just being there. Saturday I was physically there, but mentally I wasn't. And it just really hit how selfish I feel now, and how little it actually mattered because the party was amazing, the kids were happy and taken care of, and guys they are all so amazing and bright and kindhearted. I can't wait to see what they do with their lives and how they pay it forward in their own way.

I really don't know where to go from here, as this is all still new to me(emotional balancing, dealing with situations without people walking all over me because they know I will take it, handling my expectations). But I am really proud of myself for at least handling it differently then I would of before. And to make up for my 4 day pity party I've had, I've been throwing together some goodies to take to the centers after school program tonight for my favorite kids (and maybe whip them in a game of red rover or two) and just take a step back from a few people who have made me feel like the complete problem in this.

5 Tips To Burn Stubborn Belly Fat Over The Holidays...While Still Enjoying All Your Favorite Foods

The holiday season is upon us. From now until the New Year, we have lots of opportunity for celebration with friends and family, probably a few strangers as well. With all the festivities, how do you manage to stick to your diet and avoid putting on extra pounds? Or even better, still lose excess weight?

Some media states that the average person gains 3-7 lbs. Another study showed that weight gain was more prevalent among those who were already overweight. Those individuals averaged an increase of 8 lbs. over the holidays. And what's worse? These studies also found that many people NEVER lose the weight that they gain, which then compounds over time.

Studies aside, perhaps what is more important is YOU! What happens to your body over the holidays? Do you find yourself putting on a few extra pounds that you then struggle to let go of in the new year?

Would you like to avoid packing on extra weight and STILL get to enjoy all those great holiday parties and gatherings? The good news is that it is possible to enjoy the festivities and yummy treats without gaining weight.

The Challenge with Holiday Weight Gain

In the US, the holiday season is looooong. It essentially begins in October with Halloween (even earlier for some religious groups), where, if you take your kids to the right neighborhood, you fill your home with enough candy to last a decade.

Next, we have Thanksgiving. The average daily calorie intake should be around 1800-2400 calories (depending on your height and weight). The average Thanksgiving meal is estimated to be around 3000 CALORIES. That is just the meal alone. This doesn’t include any appetizers and snacks you have beforehand which average another 1500 calories. In one meal, you double your recommended daily caloric intake. Thanksgiving dinner is generally also packed with a ton of fat and sugar, which doesn’t help your body stay slim.

Immediately following the Thanksgiving holiday comes a whirl of holiday parties, luncheons, office parties, family gatherings and holiday baking events. The opportunities to over-indulge are plentiful.

Then there are the winter holiday meals ~ whether Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza or another holiday that you celebrate, you likely have at least one holiday feast with loved ones to attend. These feasts also average 3000+ calories per meal.

It’s no wonder people gain a few extra pounds with all the delicious food, holiday baked goods, candies and beverages! Unfortunately, many people throw in the towel and assume that there is no way to get through the holidays without overindulging and gaining excess weight. But it is possible.

But enough about how much weight you're likely to gain...let's talk about how to keep it off and even lose a few pounds while you're at it.

The #1 Easiest Way To Stop Holiday Weight Gain Dead In It's Tracks:

Why wait until New Years to start losing weight? By that time you will have put on even MORE weight and have a much taller mountain to climb. I'm all about easy, and that is especially true when it comes to losing weight and getting healthy.

Intrulosleep - Party

This is one of many, many ficlets I am posting on Christmas day. Hope you enjoy!

Masterpost

Christmas parties were Remy's favourite part of the holday.

Of course, it was. He loved parties: getting to hang out with people - seeing old friends and meeting new ones - and drink alcohol. He could stay up all night and no one would tell him to go to bed, because everyone around him would be staying up, too.

And Christmas parties were no different.

Well, actually, they were a little different. They had more decorations and party games, and the drinks were always a little more Christmas-y, but Remy loved them all the samd.

And, of course, there was mistletoe to be stood under. Kissing friends and kissing strangers, those were excellent activities, in Remy's opinion.

But when Remy had stumbled under the mistletoe, it had been entirely accidental.

He looked up at the mistletoe, which hung right above his head, and then looked down at the person - no, people - stood in front of him, who both looked equally surprised.

Remus and Logan.

Two of Remy's friends who he vehemently denied having any sort of feelings for.

A strange mix of sudden anxiety and excitement swirled in the pit of Remy's stomach. He fixed a grin onto his face that was mostly genuine, and immediately mirrored by Remus.

"Wow, can't believe I got lucky enough to get two mistletoe kisses," Remy said. "If you're both up for it, babes."

Logan swallowed. He adjusted his glasses, awkwardly avoiding eye contact.

"Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt, as long as we are quick."

Remus looked between Logan and Remy, still grinning.

"Hell yeah!" He cheered.

The anxiety in Remy's stomach was almost entirely overtaken by the excitement, and he could feel his heart pounding in his chest: just as loud as the Christmas music that played around them.

"Me first?" He asked.

Both Logan and Remus said words of agreement, and Remy looked between them, wondering who to kiss first.

Logan was ever-so-slightly closer, so he decided to choose him.

Remy leant in closer to Logan, cupping his cheek far gently than he usually would when initiating a kiss. Logan leant into the touch, and Remy suddenly wanted to start kissing him and never stop.

(Or, preferably, only ever stop to kiss Remus, or to watch Logan kiss Remus. Just an eternal cycle of kissed between the three of them.)

Remy could feel Remus's gaze on them as he leant in fully and pressed his lips to Logan's.

Logan's lips were warm and soft - parting eagerly and easily when Remy deepened the kiss. It was like the whole world had faded away, everyone other than he and Logan and Remus - who Remy heard sucking in a breath when they first kissed.

When Remy eventually pulled back - out of the need for breath, not because he wanted to, as he certainly did not - he stayed close, nose almost bumping against Logan's. Then, he remembered that this was a mistletoe kiss, not one where he would be able to kiss again.

He pulled back properly, and got a good look at Logan's face. It was bright red, with Logan's glasses just a little lopsided, and his eyes wide.

He looked... gorgeous. Just as gorgeous as usual, but tonight it really stood out.

"Wow," Remus said. "That was hot."

Remy let out a startled laugh, and Logan somehow turned an even brighter shade of red.

"Remus," Logan hissed.

Remus laughed. "What? It was."

Logan huffed, crossing his arms like he was trying to regain his dignity, though his glasses were still lopsided.

Before Remy could stop himself, he reached over and fixed Logan's glasses.

Logan stared at him, blinking in surprise when Remy pulled back and flashed him a grin.

"There," Remy said, before he turned back to Remus. "Can I?" he asker.

"Duh."

Remus leant in and kissed Remy before Remy could initiate it first, which Remy had absolutely no complains about. Remus also immediately used tongue - a much faster and messier kiss than the one with Logan had been, though no less enjoyable.

Reny wrapped his arms around Remus's neck and pulled him in closer. He yet again forgot about everyone else around them but Remus and Logan - though, fortunately, no one else was paying that much attention to them, either.

When Remus pulled back - breathing heavily - Remy almost wanted to chase his lips and keep kissing him, but he caught a glimpse of Logan out of the corner of his eyes, and remembered to stop.

"That was..." Logan began, before trailing off and swallowing.

Remus turned and grinned at him.

"Hot?"

Logan opened his mouth to say something, but clicked it shut again when he couldn't seem to find the right words.

Then, before any of them could say anything else, Logan reached forward and grabbed the front of Remus's shirt. He tugged him down and kissed him firmly, surprising both Remus and Remy, though Remus melted into the kiss almost instantly.

Somehow, Remy was even more breathless watching them kiss than he had been when he'd kissed them himself.

So, this is new tumblr then.

Anyway, after I sleep, because I’ve not slept more than an hour a night in 2 weeks, I’m going to do things. My Christian characters, like @aelfred and @louisleroisoleil and some of the guys on the multi: @crowsandmurder are likely going to want holday things. Alfred gets especially excited.

Also, I’m so sorry for the delay. (UPSETTING STUFF IN CASE READ MORE FAILS)

My foster cat, who was pregnant and miscarried her four babies, while she had pneumonia only got sicker. She likely had become septic and took an awful turn for the worst last night and despite me trying everything, we had to get her into the emergency vet this morning (yesterday now) and she was past responding to anything, and her miscarriage, just took it all out of her, and we had to make a decision to end her suffering. I cried all day and it sucks, because the thing that helps me decompress best I can’t have, because we can’t travel, but I’d like to try to focus later.

Spay and Neuter, people. My little mama and her seven babies didn’t need to suffer. I foster euthanasia list, often sick fosters because my shelter fucking sucks and they get sick, but usually, I can bring them back to good health. This was so hard on me but she is at peace, knowing she was loved.

Kageyama X FEM! Reader | CH2

CHAPTER 2

Hey Guys! Lyz Here!

Firstly, I would like to apoligise for the lack of uploads. I was recently on holiday in Fiji and I didnt have a great signal out there. I was still continuing to write and I have tons of stories and headcannons for you all. I am now back from my holday and I will be able to answer all my messages and read through the few requests that I still have to write.

Word Count: 3,242 Words

Summary: A part 2 to the previous chapter. (Links to ALL the Chapter Here)

things to know:

(P/N) = Pet Name

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4

—===✨🎇🎆💀🎆🎇✨===—

The sweet smell of coffee and dark chocolate filled your nose. You let out a small moan as your eyes fluttered open to see a large chest heaving up and down. You traced your eyes up and down the figure and then realized you were laying on top of Kageyama. You took a breath in and just reveled in the sight of him. You took in every last feature. The way his hair spiked up against the pillow and fell down near his eyes. The way his arm wrapped around your waist just right so that his hand would land right on your hip. The way your legs would intertwine perfectly. You laid your head back down on his chest and heard him take in a big breath. You realized he was starting to wake up so not wanting to ruin the moment you pretended to be asleep.

“Hmmm?” Kageyama grunted. He laughed a little when he saw (Y/N) lying peacefully on his chest. He took hold of your back and turned you over so you were laying with your hands by your head.

“You have no idea how beautiful you are. No matter what anyone tells you, you will always be treasured. You don’t know how many times I have just wanted to hold you and tell you it will be alright. I’ll always be here for you. I want you to know that...” he stops to take a breath, “...that.....I love you.”

You heard Kageyama get close to your face and felt his breath on your neck. You bit your lip as Kageyama got closer and closer.

’Kiss me!’ you screamed in your mind

Kageyama hovered his lips over your collarbone but pulled back at the last minute and sighed.

”You deserve someone better than me,” he whispered.

He shuffled back off the bed and pulled the covers up to cover your upper body. He placed your hands down back beside your body instead of over your head and goes to get changed.

As soon as the door closes you sat straight up and lunged for your phone. You unlocked it and went straight to messages to text (B/F/N1).

You:

’(B/F/N1)!!! Kageyama almost kissed me!!’

(B/F/N1):

’WHAT??!😱’

You:

’He thought I was asleep so he started saying I was beautiful and then he says that he loves me😰😰. Then he leans over to kiss me but backs away!’

(B/F/N1):

’DOUBLE WHAT??!😱😱’

You:

’What do I do?’

(B/F/N1):

’Where is he now?’

You:

’Changing. Why?’

(B/F/N1):

’🤣🤣lol. Run in there and demand your kiss!! Get some girl😏👍🏻’

You giggled at the thought of your running in on Kageyama changing and demanding a proper kiss. You wouldn't dare do anything that dumb.

You:

’no way😧!!’

As soon as you sent the message Kageyama walked out of the bathroom with a pair of shorts and a tank top on. You blushed a little because of the way he was facing you, you could see his beautifully sculpted chest and lower body.

”Ohh!” he exclaimed, ”you're up?”

”I have been for a little while” you answered.

”I'll get you breakfast if you just want to get changed so we can leave in time, ” Kageyama offers

You reached over to get some money from your wallet when Kageyama stopped you.

”I'll pay for it,” he said, ”No arguments! I'm already out the door.”

You heard him run out of the bedroom and into the lounge room. You heard the faint sound of a door opened and then the slam of one closing. You sighed as you lifted your phone to your face again and says goodbye to (B/F/N1)

You:

’I have to go to training now. Cya later.’

(B/F/N1):

’Ok. Bye xoxo’

You put your phone in your bag, grabbed some clothes from your suitcase and headed into the bathroom. You came out wearing some leggings and a sports bra. You grabbed your small bag and keys and as you left. You locked the door to your hotel room. You start your warm-up early by taking the stairs instead of the elevator. You meet Kageyama and Nishinoya in the hotel lobby and you all walked out to the bus stop to catch a bus back to the sports complex. They walked into the complex and head straight towards the volleyball courts.

”Sorry to say West state, ” a voice said from behind them ”but you don't have a game today.”

The three members of the volleyball team turn around to see the manager of the sports complex standing behind them.

”Can we use one of the courts that aren't being used today for training?” Nishinoya asked.

The manager stared at Nishinoya for a while and furrowed his brows. He let out a soft sigh and gave them a nod.

”It’s 10:00 am now so I'll give you 2 hours to train,” he says harshly. ”That means I want you gone by noon.”

”Will do, ” Nishinoya replies.

They all walked into the court and put their bags down at the edge of the court. They walked over to the rack against the wall and grabbed a volleyball each.

They started a warmup by practicing against the wall first and then later forming a triangle and passing between them. As time passed, they began to do start a spiking routine where Kageyama would set the ball and you and Nishinoya would spike it against the wall.

”How do you jump so high?” Nishinoya asked after watching your jump to spike the ball. ”You look like you could jump over the top of me with how high you get.”

”The trick is to use your arms as momentum,” you stated. Nishinoya and Kageyama both looked at you with a confused look so you started to explain. ”If you bend your knees and swing your arms before your jump then you gather momentum on the way down. Then as you jump you swing your arms forward to propel yourself up as well as forward. This gives you maximum height and distance when you jump.”

’ThE HeCK?’ Nishinoya thought.

’she’s smart and athletic,’ Kageyama sighed.

You took a few steps back and ran up to Nishinoya. As you swung your arms back you leaned down far enough to look as if you were squatting on the ground. As you jumped off the ground you swung your arms high and jumped clean over the top of him. Although he did duck out of fright, you still made it over the top of him.

As you stood up from your landing you turned around to hear someone clapping. As you looked over to the door you saw (B/F/N2) standing there in amazement.

”Cool jump,” she said.

”(B/F/N2)!” Nishinoya screamed.

He sprinted right towards her and picked her up. (B/F/N2) swung her legs around Nishinoya's waist and placed her hands on the sides of his face. She placed a small kiss on his lips and moved her head to press their foreheads together.

”If you two start making out I’m going to puke, ” you laughed.

”Oh, piss off!” Nishinoya said angrily.

Nishinoya pried (B/F/N2)’s leg off if his waist and turned her around to carry her bridal style. He walked over to the door and pushed it open with his foot and walked out of the arena. As the door closed he placed (B/F/N2) down on the ground again and pulled her waist and slammed his lips against hers. He had positioned himself perfectly so that you and Kageyama could see him as he pulled up the middle finger and showed it to you both.

He quickly turned away and stormed off holding (B/F/N2)’s hand in his. (B/F/N2) looked back at you and just shrugged. You giggled at the thought of Nishinoya making out with (B/F/N2) instead of training.

’I wish that was Kageyama and me, ’ you thought.

Nishinoya led (B/F/N2) outside to sit by a wall. He sat down and (B/F/N2) cheekily sat down close enough so that Nishinoya had to spread his legs so that she could sit down. Nishinoya laughed and pulled (B/F/N2) onto his lap.

”I missed you, ” he sighed.

”I missed you too, ” (B/F/N2) replied as she placed a soft sweet kiss on Nishinoya’s nose, ” I love you.”

”I love you too, ” Nishinoya giggled.

Nishinoya pulled away as he heard a ding from his phone.

Kageyama:

Hey, another team came into practice so we split the court with them using a curtain-like in the gym at school. We’ll be on the far side.

Nishinoya:

Sure thing. BTW make sure you get some with (N/N)😏

”I've got to go back, ” Nishinoya sighed sadly.

(B/F/N2) nodded and scooted off his lap. Nishinoya pushed himself off from the wall and started walking back to the gym. When (B/F/N2) and Nishinoya walked into the far side of the gym, they stopped in their tracks when they heard Kageyama and (Y/N) talking.

”Ouch!” you groaned ”Kageyama, it's too hard! Stop!”

”But I thought we were going to..., ” Kageyama started.

”Let me try for once, ” you pleaded, ”please?”

”Just this once, ” Kageyama gave in.

”Unless you prefer this position?” you giggled slyly.

Nishinoya heard Kageyama groan and instantly regretted not walking in sooner rather than later. He gathered his breath, closed his eyes, and walked around the curtain

”When I said ’Get some’ I didn't mean in the middle of a freakin’ gym!” he screamed.

He heard the slap of a hand against a ball and opened his eyes.

”What the hell?” Kageyama asked.

Nishinoya saw that you and Kageyama were practicing spiking but you had somehow convinced Kageyama to try spiking instead of setting for once.

”Ohh,” Nishinoya sighed with relief, “I thought you two were having-”

”Ahhh!” you screamed as you ran out of the gym grabbing (B/F/N2) on the way out, ”I'm not listening!”

Nishinoya watched as you ran out of the gym with his girlfriend. He looked back at Kageyama and gave him a sorry look.

”Sooo, ” Nishinoya said a little scared now, ”Did you guys have-”

”NO!” Kageyama yelled at him, ”Jesus Christ if you stop being such a cockblocker maybe I might be able to talk to her normally.”

”heh, ” Nishinoya laughed nervously.

”You little bi-”

”[insert screams of terror]”

Nishinoya ran right outside and started looking for his girlfriend. He turned the corner and saw his girlfriend walking around with you.

”(B/F/N2)!” Nishinoya screamed, ”Help me!”

(B/F/N2) and turned around to see a terrified Nishinoya running from Kageyama. (B/F/N2) busts up laughing and let a scared Nishinoya hide behind her. You laughed and looked back and forth from Kageyama and Nishinoya.

”How about we head back to the hotel a few minutes early?” you suggested, ”Its already 11:50 anyway.”

”Sure, ” Kageyama huffed, ”I’ll get our bags.”

As soon as Kageyama was out of sight Nishinoya came out from behind (B/F/N2) and started talking to you.

”What are you doing for dinner tonight?” Nishinoya asked.

”You have a girlfriend, ” you joked.

”No, I mean- argh!” Nishinoya said, ”(B/F/N2) and I wanted to out to dinner and we were wondering if you and Kageyama would want to tag along. On a triple date.”

”Triple date?” you asked shocked, ”Who’s the third couple?”

”You’ll see who it is when we get back to the hotel, ” Nishinoya said with a cheeky grin.

’A date? With Kageyama?’ you thought, ’Wait? Has Nishinoya asked Kageyama yet? What if that's why he got mad and chased him around? What if he doesn't want to go?’

As Kageyama walked around the corner again he passed you your bag and made sure to pass you your phone and wallet separately. Then he gave Nishinoya the death glare and threw his bag directly at his face.

“What the hell was that for?” Nishinoya yelled.

By the time Nishinoya pried his bag off of his face, Kageyama had wrapped his arm around your waist and started walking towards the bus stop. Kageyama cocked his head back and poked out his tongue at Nishinoya as if to say, ‘Piss off!’

’Holy Crap!’ you panicked ’Kageyama's hand is on my hip!! What should I do?’

Just as they got to the bus stop the bus arrived and they got on. Kageyama pushed you into a row of seats and sat down next to you. You watched as Nishinoya and (B/F/N2) passed you two and sat further back. You heard a ding from your phone and looked down to see who was texting you.

Nishinoya:

Whatever Kageyama asks you...say yes! Just this once, please!

You:

I'll go to dinner with Kageyama if he asks. Tell me who the other couple that's going on this date!

Nishinoya:

It's Daichi and (B/F/N1)

You:

They're here??!

Nishinoya:

They're waiting at the hotel.

Just as you were about to reply Kageyama took your phone from your hand and dropped it into his own bag. He took your hand in his and brought it up to his face. He leaned into your hand and you turned your body to face Kageyama.

”Do you want to go out to dinner with the others tonight?” Kageyama asked, ”We don't have to go as a couple but I would like you to come with me, please?”

You pulled Kageyama's face close to yours and wrapped your other arm around his neck and placed your head onto his chest.

”I would love that, ” you sighed.

You pulled your hand from his face and positioned yourself so you were sitting up against his chest with his arm over your shoulders. You reached over and grabbed Kageyama's hand and intertwined your fingers with his.

”(N/N)?” Kageyama whispered.

”Shut up, ” you said back, ”You'll ruin the moment.”

’I wish this bus ride would never end,’ Kageyama sighed.

Kageyama leaned his head down so it was resting on top of yours.

You squeezed Kageyama's hand a little bit tighter ’I wish we could do this more often.’

The bus slowed down and jerked to a halt. Kageyama watched as Nishinoya and (B/F/N2) walked past them. You started to get up but kept holding on to Kageyama's hand even as they walked off the bus. The two of them walked silently back to the hotel. Just as they were about to go into their own room Hinata burst out of his room and yelled at the top of his lungs.

”Daichi’s here!” he screamed.

Kageyama looked through the doorway and then back at you.

”Do you want to?” Kageyama asked as he nodded towards Nishinoya and Hinata's room.

”(B/F/N1)’s there too I think, ” you said shyly, ”Can I go?”

Kageyama nodded and opened the door to put his and your bags down and closed the door again. They walked across the hall and into Nishinoya’s room to see (B/F/N1) and Daichi.

(B/F/N1) was on the bed with Yamaguchi and (B/F/N2) playing on their phones together and Daichi was with Hinata and Nishinoya sipping a soft drink in the kitchen. Daichi nodded towards him as if asking him to join him.

”I’ll be fine, ” you said as you squeezed Kageyama's hand tighter, ”I’ll be with the others.”

He nodded and let go of you and watched as you went and climbed onto the bed with (B/F/N1), Yamaguchi, and (B/F/N2). He walked over to Daichi and said hello.

”Are you and (N/N) coming to the dinner?” Daichi asked.

”Yeah, ” Kageyama replied, ”She said she’d come.”

”Awesome!” Nishinoya started ”What are you going to wear?”

’Crap!’ Kageyama thought ’I didn't pack anything nice to wear.’

”Ummm, ” he thought for a few seconds, ”something casual I guess.”

”Ummm, No!” Daichi said, ”I am not letting you ruin my date night with your casual ass!”

”I don't have anything nice to wear, ” Kageyama sighed.

He looked over at you and realized that you probably had something nice to wear but honestly he knew you would look good in anything.

”Hey (N/N) I want to see the dress you're going to wear tonight, ” (B/F/N1) said excitedly.

”Dress?” you said confused ”Ummm...I don't have a dress.”

”I thought you might say that, ” (B/F/N2) said, ”so I bought one for you to wear tonight. Yamaguchi helped me with the sizes and (B/F/N1) helped me pick out some shoes too.”

”Guys, ” you were almost in tears, ”you don't have to do that! What about Kageyama? I can guarantee that he doesn't have anything nice.”

”Daichi got something for him, ” (B/F/N1) said calmly.

The group of girls giggled and talked for a few more minutes but soon started missing their boyfriends.

”I think I'll go and hang with Tsukishima for the rest of the evening, ” Yamaguchi said with a yawn, ”goodnight guys!”

”Bye Yamaguchi!” all the girls chimed.

The boys looked over at Yamaguchi leaving and realized that they too were getting very tired.

”MOVIE NIGHT!” Nishinoya screamed.

”Not in my room, ” Hinata gave Nishinoya the death stare, ”I want to take a nap and relax before our game tomorrow. And I don't want you guys ruining it.”

”We’ll just use my room, ” Kageyama said calmly.

All the girls cheered and started gathering their stuff as they headed out the door. The boys walked out eager to catch-up and chat with their girlfriends. You stopped halfway to the door and waited for Kageyama to catch up to you. You started walking again with Kageyama walking just behind you. You used your key to unlock the door and everyone started making themselves comfortable on the couches and floor. Kageyama went over to the bedroom to get some extra pillows and blankets while you started pouring chips and popcorn into little bowls to be passed around. As everyone got comfortable you looked around at everyone else with their significant other. Since Nishinoya and (B/F/N2) were both small and roughly the same size they shared one sofa chair. (B/F/N2) sat on top of Nishinoya’s lap and leaned against his chest with a blanket over the top of him. (B/F/N1) was sitting across the other sofa chair with her legs over the edge and Daichi sitting on the floor resting his head on her side. (B/F/N1) would run her fingers through the mop that was his hair and try and tame it to a sensible degree but it never worked. (B/F/N1) had a pillow under her head and both Daichi and (B/F/N1) had blankets.

You walked over and placed a bowl of chips next to Daichi to share with (B/F/N1) and on the table next to (B/F/N2) and Nishinoya for them to share. You pulled the central table forward so you could sit on the couch and still reach the chips. Suddenly you felt arms wrap around your back and pull you into the couch. You turned your head around to see a blushing Kageyama. He turned himself so he was laying the full length of the couch and you turned your body so you were laying on top of him. Kageyama folded the blanket from the top of the couch over them both and placed his hands on your hips. Daichi turned the lights off and Nishinoya took the remote and chose to watch ’Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them.’ everyone enjoyed the movie but you enjoyed it the most because once again your nose was filled with the wonderful smell of coffee and dark chocolate.
