summary: college!ellie and u go to dinner with some friends, one of which ellie is incredibly jealous of, so jealous bathroom sex! who cheered? i know i did.
if u enjoy this like and reblog please!! love u.
.·:*¨¨* ・❥・ ≈☆≈ ・❥・*¨¨*:·.
you and ellie had been going out for about a year now, everyone in your friend group knew from the moment ellie had laid eyes on you that you were completely and utterly hers. and you were more than okay with that. ellie has always been jealous when it came to you, so everybody knew not to get too touchy with you. well, besides the new girl in the group, cassie.
according to ellie, cassie was always gawking at your ass, or staring at you for a second too long. you hadn’t noticed, and neither did any of your other friends. ellie made the conscious decision to never let you hang out with her without ellie being with you. you thought it was cute how protective she was over you, always defending you, always there to back you up.
when you told ellie you guys were invited to a dinner with your friends she politely declined, as she normally does, ellie’s not really into the whole socializing thing. but, when you mentioned cassie would be there, suddenly she was all about this dinner.
the second you guys walked into the restaurant ellie’s arm wrapped around your waist and she kept you close, you knew this was all out of jealousy, but it also was extremely hot to you. to watch her get so possessive.
you made your way to the table, ellie sitting directly beside you and cassie and dina sitting across from you guys. jesse was running late, as always. “we missed you guys,” you beam and ellie nods her head as her hand finds its way to your thigh. she loved when you wore this black dress, it rode up on your thighs when you sat and she thought it was making room for her hand.
“god we missed you, you’ve been like a little hermit crab all cooped up in your apartment.” cassie says and you laugh, but ellie does not. she gives a cocky smile and mutters, “we’ve been busy fucking.” which nobody heard besides you but it still made your cheeks feel hot. ellie grinned seeing you get all flustered, she rubbed her thumb back and forth over your thigh.
“well, how’ve you been?” you ask the table and dina fills you in on the latest about her and jesse’s on and off relationship, and cassie tells you she about her day to day, nerding out about classes and whatnot. and as she talked ellie’s hand slid further and further up your dress. “anyway, how’s life been for you?” as cassie asks you feel ellie’s finger slowly run up your clothed cunt.
“uh,” you struggle to think for a moment as ellie slowly tortures you with a slow up and down motion of her fingertip. “it’s been so good,” you give a short answer and ellie grins beside you. “why don’t you tell them about the art museum we went to last weekend baby?”
you stare at her with a pissed smile as she pulls your underwear to the side, “i’d love to hear about it.” cassie beams and you nod your head. “yeah, um we saw so many… uh,” you lose train of thought as ellie slowly circles her fingers over your clit. “so many what?” ellie teases and you gently push your hips against her fingers, “so many gorgeous paintings,”
dina looks between the two of you and furrows her brows, “you alright?” she asks you and you nod quickly, “i’m okay.” you answer quickly. ellie grins as she teases your entrance with her fingers. “she’s just kinda foggy today, she didn’t get much sleep. we were up late.” she tells them while somehow making it abundantly obvious exactly why you two were up so late.
you bite your lip to stop a soft whimper from coming out, “i’ve gotta go to the bathroom.” you say suddenly and ellie looks at you. almost a silent confirmation that you want her to meet you in there.
you slide out from the booth, quickly walking to the bathroom. you squeeze your thighs together as you lean up against the wall, waiting for ellie.
she comes in a couple moments later, and as soon as you see her you pull her close. you grab the waistband of her pants and pull her to you, smashing her lips against yours. her hands find your waist and grip at your hips, as she pushes you up against the wall. she kisses down your jaw, lightly nipping as she does. “i can’t stand the way she looks at you,” she whispers as she leaves dark hickeys all down your neck.
you whimper softly as you lean your head against the tile of the bathroom. anybody could walk in and see this dirty sight but you couldn’t care less. ellie’s hand pushes your dress up past your hips, thrusting her hips up against yours. making you feel the silicon beneath her jeans. she pulls your dress off your shoulders, laying sloppy kisses on the tops of your boobs and on your shoulders.
you quickly start undoing her jeans and she grins against your neck, “someone’s needy.” she teases and you eagerly tug down her jeans, revealing her strap. ellie pushes your underwear to the side as she gently circles her fingers over your clit. you wrap your legs around her waist and pull her close.
you grab her strap and align it with you as she thrusts into you. a moan leaves your lips and your hands bury themselves in her short hair. “you always take me so well, sweet girl.” she murmurs into your neck and you whine softly. “faster,” you beg and she thrusts into you faster and deeper. you claw at her shoulders and bury your head in her neck.
“fuck els—“ you whine softly and she grins, “i know baby, your doing so good for me, taking it like a good girl.” she praises and you moan into her neck.
she grips your thighs tight, nails digging into them, “wish cassie could see us right now, see how much of a complete and utterly useless slut you are for me, wish she could watch me fuck you dumb.” she mumbles and you toss your head back against the tile, “oh my god—“ you whimper as ellie hits that spongy spot deep inside of you.
“just like that, god, don’t stop.” you moan quietly and ellie watches as your eyes roll back, the way your body completely relaxes as she fucks into you. “nobody else can fuck you like this, nobody else can make you feel this good, isn’t that right?” ellie murmurs in your ear and you nod.
“say it.” she urges and you whine softly, “nobody else fucks me like this— god,” you whine as ellie hits that spot again, “only you can make me feel this good— fuck i’m so close” you moan loudly and a cocky grin spreads over her face, “that’s right, sweet girl.”
ellie watches as your body completely collapses against hers as you cum, profanities leave your lips along with ellie’s name.
ellie kisses your forehead and gently pulls out of you. “did so good for me baby.” she hums as she zips her pants back up. you tug your dress back down as your legs shake slightly. “how am i gonna cover these up, els?” you groan as you see the red marks down your neck. “don’t.” she grins.

Tumblr media
The thrumming beat of her heart doesn’t cease as Ellie collapses into one of the chairs. She releases a long breath, biting back laughter at the absurdity of the whole situation. Toby and I really just forged identities and lied to prison guards so that I can see my incarcerated girlfriend, she thinks.
The security camera in the corner emitting a red glow dims to a dull black. Toby’s work. He wanted to give the two privacy and to ensure their ploy stays undiscovered. He’s a wonderful guy, he really is. The man instantly agreed to Ellie’s scheme, grinning with enthusiasm she’s seen only when he tinkers with sleek vehicles.
She drums her fingers against the metal tabletop as she waits for Mona’s arrival. What do I say? Will she get mad at me for breaking our promise? How’s her wound? Is she planning to break out of prison yet? Did she miss me? Dozens of thoughts course through Ellie’s mind, but she is almost certain words will fail her when she sees Mona.
There’s a jiggle at the door.
Ellie stands and fumbles with her satchel, rooting through the bag for her folder. A guard steps in and scans the room dutifully. He pauses seeing her pull out sheets of interview questions and steps aside. “You get one hour,” he informs curtly, shutting the door behind him with a hollow clang.
Ellie drops the act at once, feeling her heart rate decrease. Too eager, her head snaps up to meet the woman in front of her.
Mona looks, well, like Mona. Her raven hair is as silky as ever and the scowl she has on her face… it’s her. There’s a new tattoo peeking out from the short sleeve of her uniform. Strangely, the baby blue prisoner outfit looks good on her. Screw that—Mona looks good in everything and nothing.
“I never consented to being a part of your documentary, so think twice about getting me to talk,” Mona says, moving to sit in the chair across from Ellie. Her face is of practiced disinterest. Classic Mona.
Ellie breaks out into a smile at her usual snarkiness. She’s missed her fiery Mona. She steadies her slightly shaky hands as she strips herself of her disguise. The cap is tossed aside, the wig is pulled off, and her glasses are settled atop the cool tabletop.
“You sure about that?” she asks.
Mona looks like she’d just seen a ghost. The dirty look on her face transforms into one of incredulity as she scans Ellie up and down, to make sure she is indeed seeing what she is seeing. After confirming that the woman standing before her is truly her Ellie, not some junior reporter aching to unravel Mona’s life story, she shoots to her feet and pulls her grinning girlfriend into a deep kiss. Mona tastes just how Ellie remembered: sweet and intoxicating.
Her grip on the back of Ellie’s head is almost vice-like, but the latter doesn’t mind it at all. Mona’s touch simply reminds her of the validity of the situation. Slowly, her hand trails to Ellie’s wet cheek, caressing it gently.
“God, you’re so stupid,” Mona mumbles after pulling away. A small, amused laugh escapes her as she sees Ellie sniffling. “Stop crying.”
“Don’t laugh! I really missed you.” Ellie says, wiping away her fallen tears with the back of her hand.
“So much that you resorted to committing a crime?” Mona asks, nodding at the wig, “You make a cute reporter, though.”
“You got shot for me, so I think we’re even.”
There’s a moment of silence as Mona makes her way to Ellie’s side, dark eyes searching hers. She tucks a chunk of hair behind Ellie’s ear and smiles wryly, “I told you not to wait for me.”
“You and I both know I was bound to break that promise sooner or later.”
“I know. I’m just that irresistible.”
Ellie’s shoulders shake as she laughs. She folds Mona into a hug, breathing in the subtle smell of her shampoo. A sigh of comfort slips past her mouth as their bodies meld together. It’s impossible to describe the feeling that courses through Ellie’s body in that instant. For too many nights, she has pressed a pillow to her chest, pretending it was Mona that was in her arms. She almost forgot how good her hugs were. They were safe, and they were comforting. As long as Ellie was wrapped in Mona’s arms, no harm could ever come to her.
“Hey, you got a new tattoo,” Ellie says, pulling away.
“Oh. I did.” Mona says, as if she forgot the tattoo was there. She almost looks embarrassed as her fingers brush against the tatted dotted lines.
“It’s a constellation, isn’t it?”
“So people keep telling me.”
“I didn’t know you were into stars.”
“I’m not. I got this for you, dummy.”
“Me?”
“This is Cassiopeia and Cepheus,” Mona says, rolling up her sleeve. Two tattoos, shaped like a house and the letter W, are inked into her pale skin. Ellie brushes her thumb across the art. Beautiful.
Mona continues, “I got this because... I liked their love story. It reminded me of us.”
Ellie’s face splits into a teasing grin. Mona, the same badass who can drive a car like no other, who took a bullet for her, got herself inked because of Ellie. She didn’t think she could love this woman any more, but time and time again, that proves to be false.
“God,” Mona says, scowling at the ground, cheeks warming, “this is more embarrassing than when I got shot. Don’t say anything. I don’t even—”
Ellie stops her embarrassed ramble with a soft kiss. She cups Mona’s pink cheeks and murmurs, “I like it.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah, you big softie.”
Mona gives Ellie a gentle shove, breathing out a scoff.
For the next half hour, they talk. Prison life, school life, and everything in between. Mona says she’s content. She keeps to herself mostly and stays out of trouble like Ellie had asked. As for the crew, Ellie hasn’t heard from any of them aside from Toby. The two of them ran into each other at a local cafe one day and stayed in touch with much discretion.
Mona hums out a response, absentmindedly running her fingers along Ellie’s forearm in a random pattern as she speaks. “It’s better this way. You should lose contact with him after this.”
“I don’t have a choice, do I?”
“No, but you know better than anyone how grueling this life is, don’t you, babe?”
Ellie responds with a good natured eye-roll.
“Tell me Cassiopeia and Cepheus’ story,” she says, capturing Mona’s hand. Ellie slides her fingers between hers, smiling softly at their joined hands. This is so surreal, she thinks to herself, Her hands are so soft…
“It’s not that exciting,” Mona says. She rests her chin in her palm, avoiding Ellie’s eager eyes.
“It was exciting enough for you to get two tattoos, so spill!”
“Fine. Cassiopeia was someone with a truckload of faults, but her lover, Cepheus, adored her despite it all. One day, she was hurled into the sky for angering Hera. She stayed stuck among the stars, and that idiot Cepheus loved her so damn much he wanted to be thrown into the stars to be with her.”
“I really didn’t peg you to be the type of person to like stuff like this.”
“I thought the story was stupid. It is stupid. But staying confined in a cell for hours gets you thinking.”
“And what have you concluded?”
“That they’re messed up, but they still love each other.”
As much as Ellie was thinking about Mona from her dormitory, Mona was thinking about her just as much from a cell. She loves her. She loves her so much. “I love you, Mona,” Ellie says, untangling their hands just so she can press a chaste kiss to her palm.
Mona, in return, takes the opportunity to pinch Ellie’s cheek, not harshly but hard enough for her to squirm. “Do not use this against me, ever, got it?”
She laughs, batting away Mona’s hand. “Alright, alright!”
The digital watch strapped around Ellie’s wrist sounds a soft beep amidst her struggle. Five minute warning. Her face falls so evidently that Mona can’t resist pinching her cheek again.
“Time to go, I take it?” she asks.
Ellie mumbles a reply, nodding. Reluctantly, she stands and slips on her glasses and wig. She adjusts it accordingly, ensuring all stray strands of her own hair are hidden. After a moment’s worth, Mona moves around the table, snaking her arms around Cassie’s torso as she fixes on her cap.
She rests her chin on her girlfriend’s shoulder, mumbling, “I don’t want you to go.”
A pleasant shiver runs down Ellie’s spine with Mona’s breath fanning over her ear. She curses the absence of a bed in this dingy room in her head, huffing out a quiet sigh at what could've been a proper reunion. Nevertheless the slight regret, she spins around to embrace Mona, pecking her right on the forehead.
“If I’m being honest, I think prison has softened you,” Ellie grins, lowering her voice, “I’ll be back before you know it. The next time we meet, I’m taking you with me.”
“Ambitious,” Mona remarks, chuckling softly, “That’s really sweet, but don’t bother. I have something planned with some of the inmates.”
“Really?”
“Yeah,” Mona says, her nose grazing against Ellie’s. Just before she closes the distance between them once more, she adds, “You’ll see me soon enough, gorgeous. That��s a promise I’ll fight anything to keep.”

Hey guys. If you don't mind. I'll drop another fic I made last year. It's a one-shot I made after watching a ton of Christmas movies and being alone despite having family over the holidays.
Enjoy.
December 24, 2020
6:34 PM
They say you'll never feel the Christmas spirit if you've never bought a gift at the last minute. I always told myself not to buy at this time but I had to. Earlier today, I made the biggest mistake of posting something on Instagram. A post that sends me to a situation I'll never understand how to feel.
"Even though I can't make it home, they really brought home to me." I posted along with a photo of my family on a zoom meeting doing Christmas preparations. It was supposed to be a post detailing how I was going to be busy for the night and actually skip the celebration, but it caught the attention of the person I least expect it to reach.
"Hey, I just saw that you're still in town. If you're free you could have some Christmas Eve dinner with us, Ellie probably wants to see her godfather. :)" Cassandra messaged.
I gulped . Cassandra once again haunted me. It's been three years since she's married and five since we broke up but she still has this effect on me. You wouldn't understand my next actions but as a person who's been with her for almost 5 years, it'll be much clearer. Plus, maybe seeing her happy with her family will make me move on, because even though she's married and all, I still can't get over the fact that she slipped right out of my hands and went to a person she just met. And I'm not mad, Elliot is a great guy, I just don't know what happened. Maybe I took it too far when I told her I'd do anything just to make her happy.
And now, here I am, on a road off to their home. With Ellie's gift on the back, and my whole self trying to finally move on with my first love. I'm not sure if I'll make it out while sober, but it's of best intentions not to drink as to set an example to my dear god daughter.
In our five years of being together, we almost talked about a lot of stuff, one of them was that we were supposed to live in a suburban area out of town with all the white picket fences and hosting house warming parties for newcomers. I'll always say that I don't care where we live as long as we're in the same bed together, everything's perfect for me. Then she'd just laugh at me for having such simple dreams, and I'll just smile.
Guess her side of the deal felt accomplished.
I carefully parked just outside her car behind a cool scooter, guess I won't be alone with the family and I guess that's great. I glanced over at her house and saw Cassandra by the door, all dolled up for Christmas while Ellie was hugging her leg bouncing up and down excited to see her Christmas Guests. I took a deep breath and looked at myself on the mirror, I've been doing this for years now and I still get nervous when she's around. It's like I'm always finding a way to flee quickly from reality but today is the day I want it to stop, for my own sake. I quickly texted her that I have a "surprise" and it requires Ellie to not see me just yet and as soon as she got the message, they went back in and closed the door.
I donned myself with a santa outfit I bought last year and took Ellie's gift out and slowly make my way into their home. It was extra hard to walk because I really put an effort to make my body santa like with all these pillows inside my costume.
"Ho Ho Ho" I laughed as I knocked on the door, I heard Ellie scream from behind and Cass telling her to go see who it is.
The door burst open and Ellie was already bouncing up and down. "Santa! Mommy! Daddy! Santa is here!" She then hugged me and It felt wonderful, like all my fears we're drained by this little girl.
"Santa gets to sit next to the reindeer!" she said, pulling my hand to their living room. I carefully waddled my way while she pulls me excitedly and settled in their couch beside a reindeer.
"Hey Nate, nice touch on the santa belly." Raquel the reindeer said. Ah yes, of course the godmother also has to be here.
"You too, Vixen" I smiled awkwardly, but behind this thick santa beard, she'll never know.
Raquel is Cassandra's best friend, I've known that long enough that they're inseparable because we'd always go eat out together back then, she'd bring a boy sometimes, she'd bring a girl, sometimes she's alone, but one thing for sure is she's always there.
"Mommy! I wanna sit on santa! I have so much questions for him!" Ellie interjects as she makes her way toward me and I happily accept her and let her sit on my lap.
"Ah. Ellie! You know I've been watching you all year! You've been a very good girl, that's why I have you this gift! Merry Christmas!"
I said as I hand over her gift.
"Santa, won't you be late to deliver other gifts from around the world? and why do you like milk and cookies so much? How do you fit inside chimneys?" She asked as she hugged my pillow belly.
"I-uh" I stammered. wow this girl asks a lot!
"Ellie, you know thats not the real santa. It's your godfather Nate!" Cassie interrupts, knowing full well I'm in a pinch. That's one thing I like about her, she saves me from the pressures of social interaction, she balances me out.
"Really?" Ellie squeaks more excitedly as she pulls off my beard! "Nate! it's been so long!" she hugs.
In fact it wasn't, just last week we bumped into each other at the mall, but hey, kids have different orientations on time.
"Ho ho ho. You got me Ellie!" I say as I take off my costume and handed over the pillow to the reindeer. "I kinda assumed you were gonna be here too." I chuckled. She also handed me a gift.
"Likewise. You literally sent a beacon of sadness with that Instagram post" she laughed.
"Okay! Dinner's ready!" Elliot called us over as we all took dinner.
Dinner was specifically awkward for me. The four of them felt like they always know what's up with each other and I'm literally the odd one out.
"Nate, come here." Ellie said, as she pulls me in and we both sneak out to her room.
Cassandra and Elliot both nod at me and smiled signaling me to go along with her.
"What is it Ellie?"
"I have a doll house here!" She said, as she pointed on her toy.
"So, who are the people living on your house?" I ask, looking for persons inside.
"No one. Mommy keeps the tiny stuff so I won't eat them." she smiled as we both talk about her house.
Then it dawned on me. This may be the actual chance. I reached for my pocket and brought out a miniature statue of a groom and a bride. I bought this years ago as a joke if ever Cassandra and I ever want to get married but I never had the chance to give it to her back then.
"I have here a happy couple. It's big enough that you can't swallow it. Perhaps they can find a home here?"
Ellie excitedly grabbed and looked at it. Just like Mommy and Daddy's photo. I smiled. My heart slowly eases itself on reality. A truth I've been evading for so long.
"You know what? Let's just put them here and head back to dinner, shall we?"
Ellie places the figurine in front of the house and rode on my shoulder.
"Yeah! Let's go eat Daddy's cooking!"
With a smile on my face, We both bolted back to the Dining room, with a promise that I'll be a great godfather to this precious child.

            ❝Shine on,                  diamond.❞
◆ member since: nov. 22, 2013 ◆ longest character: alexander donovan ◆
@alexander-donovan, Well, here we go. 
Rory, there's no way on earth I could possibly describe what you've done for this community. Aside from making it all in the first place, constructing the post-apocalyptic sandbox we all hold so dear, you also pay attention to how it's executed---from basic principles of operation and how we ought to respect each other as players, down to the smallest, weirdest headcanon. It matters to you---which I think is probably the best way to summarize your energy and wisdom, the Rory-ness of it all: 
Things matter. People matter. Caring matters. 
In a world where we're pretty damn used to moving from one diversion to the next at a moment's notice, you make something that's absolutely set apart by saying, resolutely and passionately, that what we do here really matters.
And you're right, to think that. If you need any further proof that you---Rory---matter, you can look at me writing this damn letter (and swearing every three sentences, sorry). But you in your extremely Ro way, said hey, six years fucking matters, and so do all the people we play with, so let’s get mushy on the main and tell them. And I can tell you to your face you're right and this was a stellar idea because... I do that now. Because of your influence, I'm a better person, one who does actually try and tell people what I think. 
You challenge people to care, and to translate their caring into something others can recognize, and reciprocate. You’re never afraid to point out the importance of saying things and leaving a meaningful mark, becoming an active part of our community instead of staying in our own heads (as introverts on the internet are prone to doing).
You're also a hell of a writer, which is inspirational in itself, and I can’t leave that out of it. Your dedication to your characters, to their motivations and struggles, shines through in every post you make, and you don't let fear or insecurity take root or stop you from doing what you love. You know it's not about achieving perfection, but about collaboration and growth. The way we write is an exercise in discipline and embracing the joys of language, it's not meant to be fine art (though a lot of the stuff you come up with off the cuff blurs the line between the two on a regular basis.) It's really very rude how talented you are. 
I won't talk too much more about you and me personally because you already know it pretty well, but I will mention that when I offered to help out with tech stuff, you don't even know how impossible being a full mod felt for me, at the time. I'd just come out of some rough experiences and was ready to never do that again. But over the years, you gave me steps that I could take only when I felt comfortable, and let me accept only the responsibility that I thought I could manage (though you always told me you knew I was more than capable of handling it). In a very real way, with your patience and understanding, you gave me back my confidence, and my willingness to be vulnerable. That's something I won't ever forget.  
You have my respect and my friendship, always.
And dear lord, if Tumblr has managed not to self-destruct in the next five or ten years, I really hope we're still around doing this shit. No place I'd rather be.
Love you, Ro.
<3 Lottie.
(Oh, by the way, I took the liberty of adding something else, under the cut. I knew that I would never be able to cover everything, and that I’d run out of words, so I turned to others to fill in the gaps and maybe it’ll help convey it all a little more properly. Many thanks to everyone.)  ❤
         —-     Happy Colony 6th Anniversary      —-
     RO, YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE GIFT. I’m incredibly grateful all those years ago I saw that Bones bio and decided to join this crazy little family because that is exactly what you have created with the Colony: You have made a family. You have always been a pleasure to write with, a hard-working and careful admin, and now this second go-round I'm happy to call you a good friend. I wanted to mirror your sentiment on my anniversary post, it is amazing how time rewards our patience with this second meeting! I owe you a very real debt because thanks to this group when a friend let me down whilst I was on a different goddamn continent, thanks to you, I found Cassie there to help me out! The group is an extension of you: thoughtful, kind, emotional, and funny as hell.                                                                                                             - Nicola
     Rory, your dedication to the Colony (and previously Belvedere) astounds me every day. Writing with you is an absolute joy, thank you for all that you do for us!!                                                                                                             - Cassie
     RO HOLY COW!! It's insane to think of being part of something so wonderful for so long, I can't imagine how proud you must be to call this place home. I absolutely love writing with every character I've gotten to interact with, you approach your characters and this RPG with such a passion, it's always made getting to be part of it all the more special to me! To many years to come!                                                                                                              - Molly
     The things I admire most about you are your kindness, your compassion, your understanding and the way you always make the best of a situation. You've been nothing but welcoming and kind to me since I've had the privilege of joining this insanely talented and incredible group, and every day I am in awe of the love and care and detail you pour into the rpg. You have been so supportive over these past few months, every day I consider myself insanely lucky to have met you. I adore you and I'm so happy for you that you've come so far in your own personal journey, you truly do deserve all the happiness in the world.                                                                                                             - Lou
     Ro, you’re an absolutely wonderful mod and person. I’ve never met a more dedicated and creative mod in all my years on this website. You’re an astounding writer and creator who leaves me wanting to be better. You’re a wonderful person to write with and an even better friend. I love you and all the work you do for everyone in this group. Thank you for creating this fantastic place and starting this wonderful family.                                                                                                              - Lee
     Thanks for always being so open and welcoming! It's been such a blast writing with you.                                                                                                             - Ren
     Your commitment to this game and its players is absolutely next level, and it shines through in literally everything you do for us. I haven’t felt so at home and so comfortable in an RP in such a long time, possibly ever, and I know so much of that has to do with the amazing environment (both IC and OOC) you’ve spent such a long time painstakingly and lovingly cultivating. This RP wouldn't be the incredible space it is without such an incredible and dedicated team of mods. I hope you know how much I appreciate all you do, and how much I flippin' love ya!                                                                                                              - Alex
     Rory, you're a perfect admin and an amazing friend! You've always made me feel so welcome here, from day one, and my heart feels warm and fuzzy when I think of you. I utterly adore all your characters and your writing is just brilliant, it's always so much fun to brainstorm and write and plot with you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!                                                                                                              - Ellie
     When an rp has a lifespan of not just a year or two, but SIX FREAKIN YEARS, you must look to your leader. Ships don’t sail without a captain, and you have been the most loyal, loving, and adventurous captain to your crew. Congratulations on this amazing accomplishment, love. xoxo.                                                                                                              - Amy
     Rory, I just wanted to thank you for how welcome you've made me feel since I joined the group. It takes a special person to be an admin (dedicated, patient, and just a little bit weird), and the six years you've been running this group is a testament to how well you do it. You've got incredible creativity and passion, and I know I'm not the only one that feels so lucky to write with you in this world you've built. Congratulations on six years! Here's to many more.                                                                                                             - Nick
     RORUUUUU. I literally have no idea where my life would be now if I'd never met you. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you inspire me to be braver and stronger and more self-loving. Thank you for being my friend even after all these years.                                                                                                             - Mika
I don’t think I can concisely put into words how much you mean to me, but I’ll try: we first met in 2012 and through all these years you’ve continually inspired me with your talent and hard work. You’re more than just an incredible friend, you’re an ICONIC leader that has the determination and talent to keep this group running for six amazing years (with the help of your equally talented and wonderful co-mod, naturally, wink wonk). The Colony is a family to me, and I think to all of us, even before it’s a writing group. It couldn’t be what it is today without someone as tirelessly understanding and creative at its helm. You’re an absolute gift, you’ve been there for me through thick and thin, and I’m grateful every day that I get to call you a friend.                                                                                                             - Maddie
     Ro, you have been so kind and amazing since day one! You have this astonishing energy and a kindness that honestly makes the colony feel like another home. You’re such a phenomenal writer, and have made this rp a community like no other. I can’t quite put into words how much I appreciate you, and how much effort you put into everything you do. You’re so talented and I feel incredibly lucky to say I’m a part of this community. Thank you for being you. xxx.                                                                                                             - El
     The Colony has been a living, breathing world in which to create, and the key piece - creativity - is embedded in your DNA. You aren't just an enthusiastic mod. In some aspects you are the Col. I know you want everyone to feel included and allowed to be inspired by the writing of others rather than hemmed in by rules and egos so many other groups have. Thank you for throwing all your characters at me when one of mine has some wild scheme. I've said before your writing is cinematic in its expression and it always challenges me to want to (try to) write on a higher level. I'm grateful to have you as a sounding board when I get stuck in the mud of my own self-doubt with writing. Thank you for just being a friend as well and letting me ramble too. It is impossible to sum up this wildest of rides out of all my writing adventures so, much love, as always. xx.                                                                                                             - Cat

Babysitting Tryout || KURTBASTIAN
Sebastian looked around their apartment, hands on his hips as he wiped the sweat from his brow. He'd just spent the last hour rushing around the apartment trying to make sure every surface possible was temporarily child proof. Kurt would be home from work any minute, and Cassie would be by not too long after that as well but since the firm he'd been working at for the past six months had an early finish on Fridays, he'd got home first and quickly set to work after having a realisation at lunch that Kurt and him hadn't even considered that. 
They'd babysat Eleanor (Ellie, Cassie insisted) on several occasions since Cassie had given birth and everything had gone smoothly. Which is why - up until a few hours ago - Sebastian hadn't even considered baby proofing the apartment. But now they were looking after her until Monday AND she was definitely crawling and pulling herself up to standing on most objects she could find, he thought it would be safest. 
He knew that at one point Kurt thought he'd never want kids. He barely remembered why - he just remembered there'd been a fight afterwards and he'd been confused, not really understanding how Kurt had come to the conclusion. But that was years ago. They'd been together for nearly seven years, and had been through a lot together - with his accident, with KURT'S accident and diagnosis, with Vegas, with their careers and their ups and downs. And even before Cassie got pregnant, but especially after - the idea of kids wasn't so taboo anymore. They'd talked about it firstly when Cassie told them, but also since then on occasion, particularly when they were babysitting Ellie. They'd never put a timeline on it, but it was nice for it to be something where they both knew that kids were a possibility in the future. 
He jumped when he heard the door handle, his thoughts already getting him lost in his own mind but glancing down at his watch, it told him that it would be Kurt behind the door.
Kurt took one more look at his watch just as the train doors slid open and he managed to sneak in between a small mass of bodies to get out of it quickly and he ran up the stairs that led to the street above. Once he got to the top of the stairs he walked on long strides towards his favorite fruits and vegetables store, so he could buy some things he had in mind for their guest during the weekend. It wasn't the first time they would babysit Cassie's little baby girl, but it had only been for a few hours, but this time it would be a whole weekend, so he figured might as well be prepared. 
A while later he walked out of the store with his recyclable bag in hand and turned the corner to walk the last couple of blocks that would take him to the apartment building where he and Sebastian lived. The moment he opened the door and saw Sebastian there, his favorite part of returning home every day. "Hi!" he told him while he put the bags down on the table by the door so he could close it and hang his jacket on the hanger there, then he walked up to him and put his arms around his neck and stood on his toes a bit so he could reach his lips. "Mmm.. I missed you. Sorry for not be able to come home earlier but Isabelle got us into a last minute meeting an-" He blinked and looked around the living room. "Why... does everything look different?" he asked with a raised brow.
@sexbastianwarbler
Sebastian smiled into the kiss, wrapping his own arms around Kurt in response. "Um-" His gaze followed Kurt's as his eyes tracked around the living room and he was just glad he hadn't seen the kitchen yet ... well, the kitchen itself was fine, but he'd put up some child gates to make sure Ellie didn't get in there. "Safety first?" He tried, with a sheepish grin, "that video Cassie sent us last week with Ellie trying to walk... and she crawls so fast... what if we accidentally take our eyes off her?" He paused, "Cassie is going to think I'm being ridiculous, isn't she? Oh my god, I went overboard.
Kurt bit his lip down to stop the giggle that was bubbling to the surface. "Baby... We're talking care of a child, not a bengal tiger cub." He chuckled softly, then cupped his chin to make him look at him. "But you're right. Safety first. It's a good thing too that we live in an apartment so we don't have to worry about stairs either." He leaned in and placed a soft kiss to his lips. "I'm sure she'll be moved that  her best friend cares about her daughter that much. But yeah, she's going to make fun too, so I'd suck it up if I were you." He kissed him one more time, then walked over to the kitchen, losing his scarf on the way over. "Did she say at what time will she be over?"
Sebastian pouted into the kiss, but he knew Kurt would likely be right. Cassie was his best friend and they'd been through a lot, and there was no way she wouldn't make a little bit of fun. But ah well, it wasn't like he'd installed anything permanent that their landlord would be furious over. He followed Kurt into the kitchen and leaned against the counter, looking up at the clock on the wall, "in about 30 minutes, I think. Paul is going to bring their port-a-cot to set up, though I think it's one of those ones that only takes a couple of seconds to actually set up."
Kurt served himself some juice in a glass, drinking it while he listened to Sebastian, then nodded and put the empty glass in the sink. "That's good. That way she can take her nap while we watch her and she can also play with her toys in there, right?" He walked up to where Sebastian was and put his arms around his waist, his head resting on his husband's shoulder. "Are you excited about this, baby? I know I am." He looked up at him and smiled. "Who would hav e thought we would be at this stage of things, huh? Taking care of a baby."
Sebastian nodded, "yeah, plus we don't have a cot here so she'll sleep in there at night too. We can move it into the spare room if we wanted to, but she'll probably be okay out here. Jett had been great with Ellie every time they'd looked after her before, and Bugs was... well, a bunny. So he was great too. So they at least didn't need to worry about that, though they wouldn't take their eyes off them purely because he knew anything could happen, and it was better to be aware. He smiled when Kurt wrapped his hands around his waist and then shrugged, "I don't know... I don't think it's that farfetched to think about us looking after a baby ... you have an amazing job, I have a job that will lead to an amazing job... maybe we're exactly in the right place to be looking after a baby. Plus, Ellie is an adorable child, so of course I'm looking forward to the weekend." He chuckled, then leaned in and kissed Kurt softly.
Kurt nodded as he listened to Sebastian. He was glad that both Jett were almost always nice enough with Ellie, especially Bugs, who seemed amazingly fine with the little girl stroking his ears. Maybe it was because they had always kept him around him people and he was used to them, Kurt wasn't sure, but he was glad that was the case. He smiled softly against his lips and shrugged. "There are many things that once seemed farfetched with us, Bas. And yet here we are. I know that looking at Ellie is nice and all that, but who knows if we-" He shrugged again, then pulled his arms away and looked down. "Nevermind.. I'm just being dramatic, as usual..." He chuckled and moved to grab his jacket so he could take it into his room.
Sebastian frowned, and followed Kurt into the bedroom, leaning against the doorframe and slipping his hands in his pockets, "can I ask you something, babe?" He hesistated and then said, his voice soft, "why do you say you're being dramatic? You know I never actually said I didn't want kids, right?" He remembered that fight that they'd had, years ago, and even then he'd never said he didn't want them, the conversation had just caught him off guard at the time. They hadn't been together that long and maybe he'd been a little scared. He'd never denied that part. But that was over four years ago, and they'd talked about kids multiple times since then. Especially since Cassie had got pregnant. But even then, whenever it came up, Kurt just seemed so sad and Sebastian hated to see that. He just wanted to make Kurt see that he wanted a family, whenever they were ready. 
He sighed and pushed himself off the door frame, walking over and sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Kurt, "remember when Cassie told us she was pregnant? I mentioned then that I do want kids. A family. With you. And that you would make a great father." He paused and looked up at where Kurt was standing. His voice wasn't angry, there was no hint of an argument, but he didn't know how many more times he could try to tell Kurt he wanted a family, now or someday. "You said it wasn't the right time and you were right, it wasn't. Not then." He reached out and took Kurt's hand from where he was sitting on the bed, "but, Kurt, us talking about kids isn't you being dramatic - don't think that. Don't you ever wonder what it would be like? Or is it... is it not something you want?" The thought had never actually crossed his mind, that maybe it wasn't something Kurt wanted. He'd always just assumed he had. "You know you can talk to me about anything, right?"
Kurt had just hung his jacket and scarf inside the closet, when he heard Sebastian's voice at his back. He sighed and looked down, knowing there was no way of dodging that conversation. Kurt hated himself sometimes, most times, for being so dramatic about things, for making such a big deal aout everything... For not being able to let go of some things. He pushed the door closed and walked over to where Sebastian was on the  bed, his arms folded around himself as he usually did. "You're right. I know that.. and maybe we weren't ready then. Or I wasn't ready, I don't know." He held onto Sebastian's hand lightly and smiled, although it didn't reach his eyes all that much. "Of course I've thought about it. And I've always hoped they look just like you, with your big green eyes and your beautiful face, if... we choose to have our own biological baby. If not, I'd love them all the same." 
He let go of Sebastian's face and sighed as he walked over to the window and looked outside. "I just can't seem be able to shake the image of that day. The sound of your voice when you said 'oh god, no', when those women said something about us making wonderful parents because of they way we let those children play with Bugs." He shrugged. "It made feel like... you would forever resent me if I ever tie you down like that..." He groaned and rubbed his face with his two hands. "And you ask me why do I consider myself dramatic? I think the evidence is pretty clear" he said with a soft chuckle.
Sebastian sighed and got up from the bed, walking up to Kurt so he could wrap his arms around him from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder and looking out the window. "I never said no to her," he said softly, "I don't deny I didn't handle it well but I never actually said... I just froze, Kurt. I deflected because I wasn't ready to talk about it then. But please, you can't keep holding me to a fight we had four years ago. People change, relationships change, I've changed... for the better, I hope. Just because I was scared four years ago, doesn't mean that I am now." 
His head, still on Kurt's chin, turned so he could look at his husband with a small smile, "you know what I've thought about every single time we've  looked after Ellie? Her - playing with our kids. And while we both have fantastic genes, and a child born from either one of our DNA would be no doubt the greatest... there's just so many kids out there. And look, whether we go biological or adoption is up to us, but I did ask one of the guys in the office who's works in family courts and the child protection system, about where to start. Just so I'd know, if we ever decided to go down that path. He gave me a couple of pamphlets, they're in my briefcase if you want to see them, if that will help you believe me." He pressed a soft kiss against Kurt's skin, "I don't know what else I can say for you to stop thinking about me four years ago, and start realising that us now is different. Better."
Kurt held onto Sebastian's arms when he felt them around his waist and sighed, his back leaning against the other's chest. "I know... I mean, I remember it being something like that. But back then it felt even worse, you freezing. It felt like there was a gap in there, between us. I thought that maybe we weren't in the same pace. I know I was wrong." He looked back at him when he turned his head and chuckled. "I don't hold anything on you, Bas. If I was, we'd be still talking how you couldn't wait to dovorce me all those years back in Vegas." He blinked when Sebastian went onto telling him about what he had been looking at in terms of adoption, or how beautiful their babies would actually look, and he turned around to face him completely, a look of sheer awe in his face. "You... really did that? Oh my gosh... I mean, you're right. There are so many children out there who need a family. But whatever the case, it'd be our child. Yours and mine, and no one can take that from us." He smiled. "I love you" he whispered before leaning on his toes and kissing him gently, and at that very moment the doorbell caught their attention back in the moment.
Sebastian didn't feel the need to point out that - legally - there was never a divorce because the annulment meant that legally there was never a marriage to begin with. But he knew that's how Kurt saw it and regardless, it didn't matter. It was in the past and ultimately, they returned to Vegas years later when they were both ready and now they were happily married. He didn't want to think about how he probably would have got scared and fucked it up the first not, not really having been ready for the commitment of marriage. And he would have probably hurt Kurt, which would have been the worst part of all of it. "I love you too... and I really did," Sebastian replied, taking Kurt's hand and giving it a squeeze, "we can look over them sometime but for now, I think we have a little visitor." He smiled at Kurt and didn't let go of his hand as they walked to the door together, Sebastian opening it to find Cassie and Ellie on the other side.
Kurt smiled back at him and nodded. "Yes. Let's focus on that for the weekend" he said, then walked with him to the door and gave Cassie and Ellie a warm welcome when they opened it. The baby girl seemed to light up when she saw them, especially Sebastian, who she immediately made grabby hands at, almost leaning over so that her mom would give her to him. Kurt's heart skipped a beat at the sweet scene, and he kissed her chubby and tinyhead before he showed Cassie in, taking the bag she had brought along with all of Ellie's things that she could possibly need.
Sebastian's expression equalled Ellie's, a smile spreading across his face and he reached for her, taking her from Cassie carefully. "Hi sweetie," he practically cooed, tickling her stomach and the young girl giggled. "You ready for a fun weekend at Uncle Kurt's and Uncle Sebastian's?" Ellie blinked at him and then pointed off to the side, "dog!" "I'll take that as a yes," Sebastian said with a laugh, shaking his head.
They all laughed when it was pretty obvious what Ellie's priorities were, and it seemed that Jett got the gist, since he came in running and yapped happily at Sebastian and her, wiggling his tail, and almost demanding he would sit so that he could take a closer look at her. Kurt served them all with beverages and a plate of cookies while Cassie caught them all up wth what she  had been up to. "So... Are you guys excited? You're getting her for the full weekend?" Kurt smiled and looked at Sebastian, reaching out so he could take his hand. "We are. Very much."
Sebastian sat down on the floor with Ellie, near the table where Cassie and Kurt were sitting with the coffees and cookies, keeping an eye on Jett and her. Even though he knew they would be fine, he also knew that you could never be too careful with kids and dogs. He smiled up at Kurt and took his hand, giving it a squeeze, "yes... we are. And you and Paul deserve a weekend to yourselves. Relax... recoup... make another bab-" "Sebastian!" Cassie glared at him, and Sebastian shrugged with a laugh, "oh come on, I was kidding."
Kurt chuckled and shook his head. "She's a woman, honey. Not a bun machine" he said with a soft giggle, then as he was about to take a sip of his tea, Cassie 'casually' spoke about how maybe, having to watch over her daughter for the weekend would encourage them to have a child of their own. He quickly put his glass down, looking a bit nervous. "Oh you know... All in good time" he said with a soft chuckle and looked at Sebastian. Talking about it between themselves was one thing. Having someone else talking about it meant a whole different level of anxiety.
Cassie was Sebastian's best friend which meant - generally speaking - she was (second to Kurt) the easiest person for him to speak to. Which meant she knew parts of Kurt and Sebastian's past discussions with kids. What Sebastian had told her at least. And a few months ago when they were catching up on one of Sebastian's lunch breaks and he was holding Ellie in his lap, she'd made a comment that Sebastian would make a great Dad and they had got to talking about the potential future children that Kurt and Sebastian would one day, hopefully, have. He smiled back at Kurt, "yes... all in good time. And when we do Ellie will be their cousin... you'd like a cousin, wouldn't you? Yes you would," he booped her nose and the girl giggled.
Kurt's heart was actually melting at the sight of Sebastian holding Ellie in his arms, and the way they were together was really something else. It went without saying that Sebastian would make an awesome dad, in a way his own dad wasn't at all. They kept on talking for a while longer, until Cassie said it was time for her to leave. She kissed Ellie goodbye, then at one moment when she was distracted with Jett she took the chance and grabbed her things before heading to the door.
Sebastian waved at Cassie, mouthing "have fun" at her when she was leaving quietly, as to not upset Ellie. Though the girl looked to be having fun now, he was sure at some point during the weekend she would cry for Cassie or Paul. Being only just over a year old, she only had some limited vocabulary - but Ma and Da were definitely a part of it. As Kurt came back from walking Cassie out, Sebastian pushed himself up from where he was sitting on the ground, Ellie happy to play with her toys while Jett was nearby, chewing on his own toys. "Ready for the weekend, babe?" He asked, wrapping his arms around Kurt's waist.
Kurt waved Cassie goodbye before he closed the door, then happily leaned into Sebastian's embrace. "I know that kids can be a handful, but she's a baby. Not a Bengal Tiger." He looked back at him and chuckled before he kissed him gently on the lips. "How about we start working on lunch, hmm? I think Cassie left some things written down about what she's eating now and how to prepare it."
Sebastian laughed and swatted Kurt's shoulder playfully, "I know she's not a menace, babe... but still, lots of responsibility - not that's not for eating!" He quickly jumped over to Ellie and took Jett's toy from her, which she had been more than happy to taste test. He scooped her up and tickled her stomach to distract her and she giggled, "but yes, a late lunch now sounds good. I didn't get a chance to eat after work, and I'm guessing you came straight here too."
Kurt couldn't stop smiling while watching Sebastian being so mindful about Ellie's safety with Jett's toys, and he walked into the kitchen, Cassie's notes stuck safely under his arm, so he could start with dinner. "Your  guess is right. I wanted to be here as soon as possible to be here for when Cassie got here, so I'm really hungry. How'd you feel about some pasta with bolognese sauce? It's quick and nutritious." He chuckled and grabbed the pan from the cabinet.
Sebastian bounced Ellie as she watched Kurt intently, clearly interested with what he was doing. "Pasta sounds good, doesn't it Miss Ellie?" "Ye," she replied and Sebastian chuckled. He was sure the girl didn't know what she was actually agreeing to, but with her limited words, she would agree to anything. "You want a hand?" He'd got a sort of pop-up travel playpen in case they needed it. Although Ellie was getting older, she was also at that age where everything was fascinating and everything looked like something to eat. He supposed to a one year old, that was a good way to figure out what things were. The playpen was only a light mesh, so it was easy for him to quickly move one handed to just next to the kitchen and he gently put Ellie down inside of it. He'd already put some toys in there and while they obviously weren't just going to confine her to the playpen for the whole weekend, it came in handy when they were cooking dinner so she wouldn't disappear if they took her eyes off her for one second.
Kurt placed the notebook Cassie had given him on top of the kitchen counter to have it hand whenever he, or Sebastian might need it, then he looked at him and smiled. "I'd like that, yes! How about you chop a little bit of garlic and some tomatoes, while I fry the grind meat for the sauce? If we work together dinner should be done in no time." He walked up to him and leaned on his toes to kiss him gently on the lips. "You're the best, but of course you know that, don't you?" He giggled and bumped their noses together before they got to work.
Sebastian laughed, "what can I say... I've had a lot of practice being the best." He winked at Kurt, playfully tapping his ass as he moved passed him to the fridge. He took the tomatoes out, and some herbs as well since he thought they'd be useful, and then grabbed the garlic from where it sat on the counter and got to cutting. He started to hum a familiar tune and then looked at Kurt with a grin as he spoke, "can I say something crazy?" 
Kurt turned his head and smiled. "I love crazy!, he sang, then they went on singing that song, much to the delight of Ellie, who kept on clapping while Kurt and Sebastian danced and sang across the kitchen. As the song ended and Sebastian got to his knees and said  "will you marry me?", Kurt giggled. "I thought I already did!" he said, then dipped his husband into a sweet, loving kiss. Jett starting barking, Bugs hopped all over the living room and Ellie kept on clapping and giggling. "I love our audience" he said as he pulled back and put him on his feet.
Sebastian chuckled, letting Kurt pull him back to his feet, "mmm... they're definitely easy to please, that's for sure." He kissed him, his arms going around his waist as he did and then they went back to cooking. The dinner was ready in no time at all with the two of them working on it. As Kurt was dishing it up, he decided to forgo the wine for tonight, instead just pouring some water into glasses.
Kurt scoffed softly. "Oh please. It's only normal, with two natural born performers playing it!" He winked at him playfully, then went back to prepare their dinner. For about ten seconds his mind wandered over to those years back at Dalton, when all they had to think, to care about was getting good grades and make their best performance while being Warblers. Easier times... He shook his head off that thought and got back to reality, his eyes lingering on Sebastian while he also made his part on making dinner, and he knew he wouldn't change a thing. After everything they had gone through together, good and bad, he was right where he wanted to be. "Okay, let's all come together then. Dinner's ready!" He cut to the best he could the pasta on the small bowl they had for Ellie, then he went to pick her up for the playpen and sat at the table with her on his lap.
Sebastian smiled as he watched Kurt with Ellie, her sitting in his lap as she made a small mess of the food - but she looked delighted eating it so it was all worth it. "This is really good, babe," he said after his first mouthful, twirling the ingredients together on his fork. "Looks like you have everybody's stamp of approval," he said with a laugh, indicating Ellie.
Kurt smiled brightly while he watched Ellie voth eating and playing with the food, and since she seemed to like it he felt relieved about it; although he was also suffering while seeing her with some of the pasta on her hair, but the idea of getting to give her a bath later that night perked him up. "So... Any idea what we'll be doing during the weekend? I mean, it's not fun to stay couped inside the apartment all the time. We could at least go out once."
Sebastian chuckled, reaching forward to take a drink of water, "I don't think we would make it through the weekend without going out, don't worry babe... I don't think there was any intention of staying home all weekend. I thought we could go to Central Park for a day - go to the toddler playground there, and the petting zoo. I think she'd like that."
Kurt frowned a bit, looking concerned more than anything. "The playground? Do we really want her sitting on the infectious cesspool, where most kids dumped their- you know?" He shrugged, not wanting to complete that sentence, since they were eating. "I agree with the petting zoo. Contact animals are always fun, plus that will help tiring her out enough so she can sleep soundly tonight." He turned to where Ellie sat, the chops of pasta more on her face than in her mouth, but she was still eating some.
Sebastian pressed his lips together in an attempt to stop a smile. "Kurt... I'm pretty sure most children play on playgrounds. I did and I'm sure you did. Doesn't science say kids should ... you know, build up their immunities and stuff?" He chuckled, "but okay, we can just stick to the petting zoo if you'd prefer. Though I was thinking tomorrow for Central Park? We've both been at work all day so I feel like we should just stay in tonight... and then go out tomorrow?"
Kurt looked at him and chuckled softly. "Sebastian, baby... When the day comes that we have our own children maybe we could take that under  consideration. But when it comes to someone else's baby, I'm not going to mind being as careful as possible." He noticed Ellie was done with the pasta on her small bowl, so he gave her the bottle with juice in it to wash that down as she saw fit. "Yes, tomorrow please. It's going to be a good day, and we'll both be rested by then. So, who's ready for bed then?" he asked, now looking at Ellie, who simply giggled in return, so now the question was if she was saying yes, or maybe no.
Sebastian shook his head but was smiling. He knew Cassie had taken Ellie to playgrounds but he could see Kurt's point of view as well and he was sure she'd enjoy the petting zoo more than the playground anyway. "C'mon, Ellie," he picked her up and she rested her head on his chest, "maybe we'll have a bath and play and then read a book and see if you're tired enough? Hmm?" He didn't want to put her down to bed too early, because she'd likely just wake up in a few hours. He pulled a face at her and she laughed, still covered in pasta sauce.
Kurt felt his heart growing by the second as he watched Sebastian's interaction with Ellie, and as he did so, he also couldn't help but think back on what they had discussed at some point, about Kurt'd doubt about them actually having kids at some point, or more like, if Sebastian's did want to have kids or not at all. But seeing him with Ellie slowly started pushing all those worries behind, and it felt good. "You two go ahead, and I'll clean up in here. Although perhaps you should start only by washing her face off that pasta, and then filled up that small tub Cassie left here the other day, with warm water and some of the baby gel she also brought? You could put the little tub inside our bathtub. It should fit fine in there."
Sebastian laughed, "nah, I thought I'd start with her feet." He winked at Kurt, and carried Ellie into the bathroom where the tub Kurt referred to was indeed sitting. He carefully set Ellie down on a towel while he quickly put some water in the tub - not too much of course - holding his hand under the stream to test the heat. "Alright, sweetheart, let's get that cleaned off you, hmm?" He got her undressed and gently sat her in the tub and the first thing she did was giggled and brought her hands down to slap the water, making it splash. Sebastian laughed and shook his head, putting a couple of water toys in the small tub with her and grabbing a wash cloth to start cleaning the sauce off her.
Kurt did his best to hurry up in cleaning everything up in the kitchen, so he would go to see if Sebastian's needed any help, although since he didn't hear him from inside the bathroom calling for it, he assumed he was fine still. He dried his hands up after he was done, then grabbed the bathrobe for Ellie from the bag Cassie had packed for her, which also had its own hoodie, then headed into the bathroom and stopped at the door, where he could look with fond eyes at how cute the whole thing was, how Sebastian was being with Ellie, and how she seemed to love it. "Everything in order here?" he asked gently as he finally walked inside, the bathrobe in hand.
Sebastian looked up at Kurt when he heard him enter and smiled, knowing he probably had some sort of soap suds on his face because Ellie had been splashing them around. He wiped his face on his sleeve and chuckled with a nod, looking back down at the girl, "mmhmm... everything's good, isn't it Ellie? I think we're just about done actually... if Uncle Kurt gives you the clean tick of approval. What do you say Uncle Kurt?" He asked, looking back up to Kurt.
Kurt got on his knees beside Sebastian and smiled. "I think she looks squeaky clean, baby. Time to dry her up, we don't want her catching a cold, do we?" He opened her robe and waited for Sebastian to pick her up and hand her to him, and after he did so he wrapped her warm with her robe and held her close to his chest. "Bas, could you please get her bag from th eliving room and bring it to our room so i can change her?
Sebastian smiled and shook his head, carefully taking her out of the bath and passing her to Kurt who wrapped her into her towel. He chuckled as Ellie snuggled into Kurt's chest and nodded, drying his hands and face on a guest towel they had in the bathroom. He had water splashed on his clothes but he really didn't care, ducking out of the bathroom to find her bag and meeting Kurt in their room with it. "Here you go, babe," he said, setting the bag on the bed and starting to get out what they needed.
Kurt quickly put the hoodie over her head and held her close to his chest while he made it quickly into the bedroom and placed her on the bed, all bundled up. He put her on the middle of the bed just to be sure, then looked up when Sebastian got back into the room. "Thank you, baby" he said, then quickly pulled out a clean diaper, and also her night onesie, which had a lovely Hello KItty stamp on the front. He had been watching tutorials about changing babies into their clean clothes, so he had a good idea of what to do. It wasn't long after he was done dressing her up, and she begun to yawn soon after. That was a good sign.
Sebastian chuckled at her yawn, though she seemed adamant to stay awake, trying to babble at herself to not fall asleep. They ended up playing for a little while, until her eyelids started to droop and he winked at Kurt, nodding down at her. "I think we did it," he chuckled and they lifted her up and into the travel cot they had set up for her, settling her in. Sebastian read a quick story, watching as she drifted off, clear she was tired. He closed the book and stood up, pressing a kiss to Kurt's cheek. "Night one - accomplished," he said softly, as to not wake her.
It was a nice experience to lay in bed with her and play until her eyes started to close, and Kurt let Sebastian to take her to her cot, where he sat beside Sebastian while he read to her until she finally fell asleep. He smiled at the kiss and also stood up. "And she's still alive" he said teasingly, then held onto Sebastian's hand and they both walked away quietly. 
And even if they started making out later that night when they were finally in bed, soon they both gave into sleep too. They would joke about the following morning, about how that was only the beginning. 
The next morning there was a happy sound in the kitchen, the sound of both Kurt and Sebastian walking back and forward as they did, and ate breakfast for them and Ellie, then later while they made their preparations to go to Central Park for their outing that day. "You think we got everything?" he asked as he took one more look at the travel bag, one for Ellie, the other for Elphie and Bugs, along with Bug's carrier.
Sebastian nodded, placing the bag they had packed with Ellie's things into the bottom storage section of the pram (Ellie's normal pram that Cassie and Paul used - since they wouldn't be using it this weekend of course) and then the other bag on top of it either. He was always amazed at how much Cassie seemed to fit under the pram, but now he could see why. "I think so," he agreed, mentally checking off things in his head. Bugs would stay in the carrier for safety, while they went to the petting zoo but later when they relaxed on the lawn, they had his harness on him already so they could just clip the lead on and he could stretch his legs much like Jett would be as well. Once they were both satisfied they had everything, they made their way out of the door, and to the elevator down the hall.
With Elphie's leash safely tied to one of the bars on the pram, and Bugs' carrier taken by Sebastian, the whole bunch made their way out of the building and into the streets, where Kurt couldn't help but notice the curious look many people gave them, both for the baby, and the pets they were taking along, and he chuckled softly while thinking people must had been looking at them as if they were a small circus on the go. It was already way into the mid morning, so the sun was already starting to go high and hot in the sky, so he put his sunglasses in, and so did Sebastian, while he made sure the roof part of the pram was wide enough not to have the sun hit Ellie directly on her face. "We're going to the pet zoo first, yes? More chances to get it a little less crowded than if we go in later" he told Sebastian with a soft smile, then held onto his hand.
Sebastian nodded, "definitely the petting zoo first. Though one of us may have to wait outside the enclosure with Bugs and Jett, while the other goes in with Ellie. Something tells me they won't let a pet rabbit and dog in there." He chuckled, imagining the chaos if they did. Once they got to the park, a relatively short walk though enough time for them to stretch their legs and feel more away, they headed straight in the direction of the petting zoo like Kurt had said, to try to beat the crowds of kids that would no doubt be around later in the morning into the afternoon.
Kurt nodded. "Absolutely. You go in with her, and we'll all wait outside, okay?" He smiled at him, then they continued to enjot the short walk toward the petting zoo, which as predicted, had a small flow of people entering. Ellie was still awake and alert, apparently very interested of everything that went by her stroller the whole way, and he picked her up and gently handed her to Sebastian, along with her travel bag. "Will you be okay, baby?" he asked, while he also took seat on a bench just outside the door, and he pulled Jett's bottle of water and poured some in her bowl before placing it down so she could have some water.
Sebastian took Ellie from Kurt, holding her in his arms and bouncing her a little causing her to giggle. "We'll be okay. Are you sure you're okay to wait outside?" He looked at Kurt, who confirmed it was okay. They weren't going to the regular petting zoo, because that would have meant Jett and Bugs had to stay home, and he was sure they were looking forward to exploring on the grass later when they set up their blanket they had brought, and some food that was under Ellie's pram. There was a more portable petting zoo set up in Central Park this week, essentially a small paddock area had been fenced off, and people were able to go in and pet the animals, but Kurt would be able to see them. They lined up and went inside and he crouched down so Ellie could be lower as she reached forward and patted a goat, her face full of wonder. "Dog!" She said and Sebastian chuckled, telling her it was a goat, but she was just interested in patting it. He pointed out Kurt over the fence and they waved, making their way through the animals.
Once he made sure both Bugs and Jett were properly hydrated, and without letting go of his leash, neither stop watching the carrier and the stroller, Kurt positioned himself on the bench in a way that he could see where Sebastian had gone with Ellie. He sighed softly as he watched them interacting with the smaller animals, and he could see the joy on both their faces. Jett's barking snapped him out of it a bit, and he picked him up just in time to see Sebastian waving at him. "Wave hello to daddy, Jett" he said, as he waved back too. "He's a great daddy, isn't he Jett?" he said with a soft voice, a sounding 'woof' being the response to that. Kurt chuckled and kissed the top of his head before placing him carefully on his lap.
Sebastian and Ellie played with and fed the animals for a little bit longer, Sebastian snapping a couple of pictures of her to send to Cassie. After a short while, they headed out of the petting zoo and back to where Kurt, Jett and Bugs were waiting for them. He had Ellie resting on one side, with one arm wrapped around her holding her up, and his other hand reached out for Kurt's hand and gave it a squeeze. "Do you want to go in there with her too? I'm pretty sure she'd go again," he said with a laugh.
Kurt stood up when he saw Sebastian and Ellie coming out the door, then he gave his husband's hand a gentle squeeze before he took her from him, then handed him Jett's leash. "We'll be out in a bit" he said, then gave Sebastian a quick kiss and went inside, with Ellie in his arms. She pointed at everything in an excited way, clearly remembering what she had just seen, so that meant she would possibly wanted to see it again. They take a couple more pictures and fed some goats and bunnies, then there came a time when he felt Ellie going sleepy and heavier in his arms. She was obviously tired, so it was time to come back out. "Yup. She's out" he told Sebastian when they met again, so he carefully placed her down inside her stroller, and buckled her belt up before turning to Sebastian. "Ready to continue? She'll possibly take a nap and be up like a pistol in no time."
Sebastian watched as Kurt and Ellie interacted with the animals and sneakily took a few photos of his own. It was clear to them that Cassie considered Kurt and Sebastian as Ellie's uncles, blood be damned. And he hoped that when they had children of their own, Ellie would be like their cousin, so he wanted to capture these moments too. 
He greeted Kurt and Ellie with a wide smile when they returned, leaning in to press a chaste kiss to Kurt's lips once he'd secured Ellie in the pram. "Mmhmm... let's go, babe." They took off slowly, wandering through the park with Jett trotting beside them and Bugs still in his carrier to be let out later when they set up the blanket.
They made their way into the park and walked around for a good while, enjoying the fresh air that was outside, then they found the perfect spot under a tree to open their blanket and set their little picnic up. "Here, you take care of the blanket, baby" he told Sebastian, not wanting to let the stroll unattended for a single second, but he did grabbed everything they had brought along from the bag.
Sebastian hummed as he flicked out the blanket, placing it down on the ground and flattening each of the corners. They didn't bring anything really heavy to eat, just a handful of different snacks they could pick at. Once the blanket was down, and they'd taken the containers of food out of the stroller and set them down, Sebastian opened Bugs' carrier, clipping the lead onto the harness they'd put on him before they'd left. Now both Jett and Bugs could wander around, though the leads would obviously prevent them from going any further than a meter or so from the blanket of course. They all sat down, Ellie in between Kurt and Sebastian.
Kurt finally picked up Ellie when Sebastian had everything laying on the blanket, the both of them making a sort of human cocoon for the little girl to sit in, with them holding each of her sides. He grabbed one of the containers with the applesauce in, thinking she had already had enough activity that day which deserved a healthy snack. "So, what are we having then? If it's not too much trouble, I could really use something to drink, baby." He smiled at Sebastian, then looked back down on Ellie, to make sure she would eat her applesauce.
"We've got some sparkling water," Sebastian replied, pulling the bottle out from the bottle cooler, "though it's not quite as cold as it was when we left." He found the two plastic cups he'd packed as well, pouring a glass out for both him and Kurt, while also getting Ellie's water out, which was in one of those no spill bottles, so she could drink on her own. He set the cups aside carefully, and then leaned back on his hands, looking up at the tree and sky above them with a smile. Bugs and Jett were happily sniffing (or, eating in Bugs' case) the grass just by the blanket, and they'd made sure their leads were attached so they wouldn't go anywhere.
Kurt made sure Ellie wouldn't do that much of a mess on herself while eating the applesauce, always mindful of scooping whatever came out of her mouth with the little spoon and feeding it to her again. She appeared to be somewhat hungry, so she ate all of it happily, stopping only to drink a couple of sips of water from her bottle with the handles, and after the applesause was gone he let her have it and played with it while she also drank water. The weather was perfect, the warm rays of the sun sneaking through the leaves of the tree above their heads and providing a sort of warm blanket. He noticed the smile on Sebastian's face and he leaned in to placea gentle kiss on his cheek. "Penny for your thoughts?"
Sebastian turned to look at Kurt, cracking one eye open as he'd shut them to block out the sun with his head tilted back. He smiled, opening both eyes and shuffling a bit closer to Ellie and - by default - Kurt. "I was just thinking. About how natural this feels. You, me, our pets and a baby... Ellie is our niece and I love her, but I can't help but think how normal this feels. For us to be taking a child to the park. And how we could do that with our child."
Kurt scooted closer to Sebastian, the warm coocoon they both had Ellie in perfectly shaped to make her feel as comfortable as possible, even making her a bit sleepy too, and he looked at him and bit his lip a bit before he smiled softly. "I'm glad you think this feels natural. Maybe, one day soon.. or later. Who knows." Jett barked at Bugs, who seemed to be more interested in chewing on the grass, and maybe that was why the other was barking, the lack of attention.
"Soon," Sebastian replied softly, chuckling at Jett's reaction and scooping him up into his lap. "What are you barking at baby? Hmm?" He shook his head and took a piece of carrot out of from of the containers they had brought for the food and gave him the piece. When he'd eaten it, he tossed the ball a short distance, so Jett could still reach it on his lead obviously, for him to chase. "There is something else. That I've been thinking about." He looked down at Ellie who looked back up at him with a sweet look on her face then down at her food (berries) she was playing with, "and I guess now is as good of time as any to bring it up."
Kurt gave Jett a soft pat on his head when Sebastian pulled him on his lap, and he noticed Bug still chewing on the grass, completely unphazed by the other's earlier barking. He turned his head to look at Sebastian and blinked with sudden curiosity. "Oh? What would that be, baby? Sounds serious."
Sebastian gave a soft chuckle, shaking his head, "not serious. Or... I guess, it could be, but it's not bad serious. It's just being here, with Ellie and thinking about us having our own family soon... do you think the apartment will be big enough? It will be when they're young, but as they get older, wouldn't it be great to have some kind of a backyard? And we have a lot of savings now that I'm actually working as a lawyer and not a bartender, and your label is really taking off... aren't they saying online you're like the next big upcoming designer? Rightfully so too. We could find somewhere with more space, for you and a family. Though maybe if we waited some more, we'd have more money to get a better place. And I guess a lot of people raise kids in inner city New York apartments so maybe I'm overthinking it." He looked over at Kurt, "what do you think?"
Kurt looked at him with the brightest smile on his face. "Oh my... You really had thought about this a lot, baby. But it's good that you do, and it's a legit concern. I mean, like you said, while the baby is still small it shouldn't be that much trouble. But it's good to think ahead. Besides, I'm sure both Jett and Bugs will be thankful to have a igger place to run about than a flat." He twined his fingers with Sebastian's, noticing then Ellie had fallen pleasently asleep in the nest they made with their bodies for her. "I think there's also a minor detail to consider before we talk about a new place to live. And it's to do with how would we be getting our baby. Adoption? Foster care? A surrogate? And if it's a surrogate, who?" He chuckled. "Am I also overthinking it?"
Sebastian shook his head, "you're not overthinking it, babe. Like I said yesterday, I already have some pamphlets about adoption that I got from Joe who works in the Family Court system. I love the idea of fostering or adopting a child that needs a home - I know it's a totally different situation, but you know my parents moved around a lot and those couple of years we spent in Chicago were the best - my cousins and aunties and uncles essentially raised me for those years. It's not... it's nothing like what kids go through, and my parents and I are fine now - but I wouldn't exactly call them doting or loving when I was growing up. There are so many kids in the system, I see it when I'm at the court house." He looked up at the sky, "you know I thought about going into family court? But..." He shook his head, looking back at Kurt, "just decided not to. I think it takes a pretty amazing lawyer to be able to work in family court." He gave Kurt's hand a squeeze, "but in saying all of that - I'm also open to surrogacy, it that's what you truly want. You know I'll love our kid no matter what."
Kurt looked at him fondly and squeezed his hand back gentle before he leaned up and placed a soft kiss to his lips. "Just so you know, I think you would make an amazing family court lawyer. If anyone has the drive, the determination, and the stubborness to make things right, that's you." He looked down at Ellie, who at that moment cooed in er sleep and stretched her tiny arms before turning her head the other way, and he sighed and nodded. "You're right. However it is that we decide to do this, I'll love our child. NO  matter what. It will be ours, and it will be loved." 
At that very moment a woman walking a dog passed by, at a prudent distance when she saw they had a dog of their own, and Jett gave a happy bark at it, which was returned, before the woman turned to them and smiled. "You two have a beautiful child. Congratulations!" she chirped, then kept on walking, just after  they both nodded at her as a silent 'thank you'; Kurt  looked at Sebastian and smiled. "I think this look favours us, baby" he said with a soft chuckle.
Sebastian smiled softly at Kurt and nodded, "you know what, babe... I think you might be right." He leaned in and kissed him gently, just a chaste kiss since obviously they were out in public and with Ellie. They let her sleep for a little while longer before she stirred and Sebastian scooped her up, tickling her causing her to giggle. "We should probably think about heading home soon, hmm babe? Since you won't let us play on the playground," he added with a pout.
Kurt shuddered a bit. "Not in a million years I would let this beautiful baby to sit on that dry puddle of dirt. She's way too small for that. We can play and be perfectly safe back at home." He nodded to make his point valid, then smiled. "I'll put Bugs in the cage and bring Jett back too. I'll be right back!" he said with a happy tone as he stood up and kissed Sebastian's forehead before he went on gathering everything up while Sebastian watched Ellie.
Sebastian laughed, not pointing out that there was far more to a playground to dirt. The swings and slide and even just the ramps. He supposed she was a little small for most of it though - maybe not the baby swing. But another time, for sure. When she was older. Or when they had their own child and they were older. 
He smiled and nodded at Kurt, watching him fetch Jett from where he was - which was still on lead, just a couple of metres away from them now. He scooped Ellie up gently, trying not to wake up but - being a baby - she stirred slightly and blinked open her tired eyes, staring up at him. "Shh... it's okay, sweetheart, you can go back to sleep." He kissed her forehead and placed her in the pram carefully, keeping an eye on her as he started to pack up the containers and blanket.
Kurt had pretty much picked up everything they had brought along by the time Sebastian was placing Ellie back in the pram, his eyes filled with awe and warmth as he saw the how caring and tender he was, thinking how much more perfect it would be when they had their own child. He snapped back to reality quickly when his husband said he was ready to go and nodded, handing Sebastian whatever he could take while he also took care of pushing the stroll, while he carried Bug's cage and pulled onto Jett's leash gently. 
There would be still plenty to do that weekend with Ellie at home with them. But for now, it was time they headed home.

PART 1    PART 2    PART 3    PART 4     PART 5     PART 6     PART 7
_________________________________________________________
                Fingers toyed gently with my hair, stirring me from my sleep.  I swatted them away and tried to ignore it, but they were persistent.  I peek one eye open only to see my husband and his outstretched arm carefully coaxing me awake without disturbing Axel or Sienna who lay still between us. After my eyes and my attitude adjusted to the light streaming softly into our room and the annoying prodding against my scalp, Sweet Pea motioned for me to get up with him.
                 “What time is it?” I mumbled, voice thick from the blissful sleep that I was just robbed of.  I made my way straight for the coffee pot.
                 “Six a.m.” He chuckled at the whine I gave him in response. Sweet Pea loved the mornings.  The quiet, the stillness, the anticipation of the day ahead.  I, on the other hand, took about two hours to fully wake up.  “Jug called. Apparently, Lauren’s sister is Cassie Mantle.”
                 “Shut up!” I halted, my hand hovering over the Folgers can.  “I never knew that.  Oh, Sweets, that’s great. The kids really will be in good hands.  Cassie’s as good as gold!”
                 “Yeah, I was relieved.  They’re on their way here now.  Didn’t even hesitate when Jones got in touch with them.  They dropped everything and hit the road.”
                 I squeezed his shoulder as I walked by to grab last night’s soup bowls to throw in the dishwasher.  “Where are they living now?”
                 “Bout two hours north of Greendale- a small town called Pleasant Ridge.  They’re gonna stay with Reg’s parents until Dr. Ellis releases Blazer.”  He rubbed his palms together, fidgeting.  My eyebrow shot up suspiciously.  I waited for him to spit whatever it was that had him stalling out.  “Also…they found Lauren.  Emma, she was so messed up, she didn’t even know she had kids.  Hell, she barely knew her own name.  Jug said that Cassie plans to get her in rehab as soon as she can manage it.”
                “Good!  Maybe with Cassie and Reggie helping out, she can take the time she needs to get clean, and do right by her kids while she still can.”  Sweet Pea nodded.
                 “I’m gonna take them over to the Mantle’s in a bit.  I want to talk to Reggie.  Rob won’t be locked up forever, and I want him to know exactly what he’s got to protect them from.”  His eyes squeezed shut, no doubt as images from last night’s rescue mission came flooding back.  “Fangs is coming here to keep you and Carter company.”
                “Babe,” I groaned.  “We don’t need a Serpent Sitter.  I can take care of us just fine.  That is not necessary.”
                 He fixed me with a hard stare that silenced my objections immediately.  “This is not up for discussion.  I want someone here with you and that’s final.”
                 “Yes sir,” I kissed his cheeks and snaked my arms around his broad shoulders.  “Come on, bodyguard, let’s go get Ax and Sienna up and moving before Carter starts screaming.”
                 He followed me, packing up their things while I got them up.  Sienna’s freckled nose scrunched up as she stretched.  The light of day made the violet bruises look so much worse than I remembered from last night.  My eyes lingered on her face before catching Sweet Pea doing the same with an angry scowl heavy on his brow.
                 Waking Axel up was a challenge.  His sister told me he was not a morning person.  We had that in common.  Eventually, he joined us for breakfast.  They ate quietly until Sienna spoke up, “Where do we live now?”
                 Sweet Pea answered before I could, “Your Aunt Cassie is coming to get you guys, so you all can stay with her.”
                 Axel’s chubby hand reached up to rub his eyes.  “Mommy said Aunt Cassie doesn’t like us.”  Sienna’s shoulders slumped forward and Pea reached over to tug at the ends of her hair.
                “That’s not true.  She got up very early so she can get here to be with you. She’s almost to Riverdale now.”
            ��   “Mommy’s not coming back, is she?” My heart shattered at the desperation in his little voice.  Sweets scooped him into his lap and held him close.  “Not yet, buddy, I’m sorry.”
                 Carter woke up shortly after breakfast, fighting mad.  I tended to him while Sweet Pea loaded the truck up and got it warming up.  Axel was content in front of Puppy Dog Pals, but Sienna was very excited to see the baby awake.  Soon enough his fussiness was ebbed away by the excitement of a new, smiling face to give him attention.
                 “He’s really wiggly,” she giggled watching me struggle to get him dressed.  Carter let out a squeal of his own, thrilled to have another finger to grip in his fist. Sienna stretched up on her tippy toes to smile at him.  He matched her grin with a drooly mirror image of hers.
                 “I think he likes you,” I chuckle, noticing a soft blush creep onto her cheeks and the very tip of her nose. I put Carter in his bouncer in the living room.  Sienna kneeled right beside him, fussing over every belly laugh and gurgle he threw at her.
                “Alright, kiddos, the truck’s warmed up and ready to go,” Sweet Pea announced clapping his hands together. Axel jumped right up, clutching the same blanket he clung to all night.  Sienna, however, lingered, fiddling with the small toys on his bouncer. I straightened Ax’s jacket while Sweet Pea went straight for Sienna, covering her tiny back with his hand.
                 “Hey, you.  You know you can come to see him anytime.  We can come to see you too, how does that sound?” I melted at the tenderness in his voice.
                 “Mr. Wilson?” She squeaked nervously.
                 “Hmm?”
                 “What if Aunt Cassie’s husband is like Daddy?” Sweet Pea turned her around to face him.
                 “He will not be, we will make sure of that. We’ve got you, okay?”  She nodded and stood to her feet stealing one last smile from my baby and running to give me a hug.  Pea kissed Carter on the head and made his way to the door.  He kissed me briefly just as Fangs came rumbling up the driveway.
                 I watched the trio as they walked to the truck. Fangs ruffled their hair as they passed by before bonding up the steps to the front door.  Carter wiggled happily at the sight of him.  Fangs didn’t hesitate to free him of the constraints of his bouncer.  “Hey, little man.  Did you miss Uncle Fangsy? Mommy and Daddy aren’t nearly as fun, huh?”
                 “Watch it.”  I smacked him on the shoulder and sat down beside him.  “What’s new?”
                 “Oh, you know: saving children, beating up complete assholes, guarding the Wilson clan with my life- the usual.”
                 I snorted in response.  “I told him that we would be okay.”
                 “Yeah, well, talking to a brick wall is damn hard. Trust me, I know.  At least we get to hang out.”
                 I smiled, crinkling my nose at him and the nearly passed out baby in his arms.  “ True that, Fogarty.  I know you’re hungry.”
                 “True that, Wilson.”  We chuckled so hard at his reply, we almost didn’t hear my phone ring. I got to it just in time, putting it on speaker so I could plumage my cabinets for the dishes I needed.
                “Hello?”
                 “Emma,” a chillingly familiar voice answered.  Fang’s eyes snapped up to my pale face.  “Why if it isn’t my favorite pain in the ass.  It’s been too long.”
                Swallowing the lump in my throat, I shot back, “Not nearly long enough, Peabody.”  Fangs sat Carter in his chair and rushed to my side, hovering over the phone quietly.  He pressed record on his own phone to capture the conversation.
                 “Not feeling very friendly, are we?  I bet if I got a hold of that sexy hubby of yours, you’d change your tone.”
                 “You leave him the hell out of this, you miserable bitch!  What do you want?” I growled.  Fangs instinctively threw his arm around my shoulders to calm me down.
                 “Well, I happen to be feeling…generous. You can either hand Larry over to me or pay the $5k he owes me.  The choice is yours, madam.  You’ve got 72 hours.”  We sat there stunned for a beat.  “Oh and Emma? Congratulations on the baby.”  With that, the line went dead and I chunked the phone across the room.
                 “What the fuck? What the fuck, Fangs?! She knows about Carter.  She’s gonna hurt him to get to Larry.  OH my god!” He grabbed my shoulders and jerked me roughly around to him.
                 “HEY! We’re going to figure this out.  Pack some of yours and Pea’s and Carter’s things. I’ll call a meeting, and we’ll head to the Wyrm.  It’s going to be okay, I promise.  Do you want me to call Sweet Pea?”
                 “No,” I muttered.  “He needs to make sure that the kids are going to a good place.  It can wait until he’s finished.”
                 Fangs shot me a look of doubt, “He’s not going to like that.”
                 I groaned and started stuffing our things into a duffle.  “I know, I know.”
                 By the time we made it to the Wyrm, Jug was pacing. Rusty swooned at the sight of Carter, and I kicked myself for not bringing him to meet her sooner.  “He’s beautiful, kid.”
                “Thanks, Rus. We kinda like him!” I smiled passing him to her.
                 Sweet Pea came in a few minutes later, clearly perplexed about why this meeting was called and why his child was in a bar.
                 Before he could ask any questions, I eagerly interceded, “How’d it go?”
                “Really well.  They hit it off pretty quickly.  Reggie was just as worked up about the whole thing as us, so I feel a lot better. We’re going to keep checking in on them though.”  He sighed.
                Jughead called for our attention and I tensed up immediately.  “Penny has contacted Emma this morning.  There is a bounty on Larry’s head.  If we don’t bring him to her, we’ll have to pay his debt.  My initial reaction was to say ‘fuck off’, but she mentioned that she knows about Carter.  She’s threatening one of our own if we don’t deliver, and I will not stand for that.”
                 Sweet Pea turned to face me, fire seething from his eyes, his tight-lipped mouth, and his rigid shoulders.  My sheepish grin did nothing to placate his rage.  “Emma,” he hissed.  “Outside, right now!”  I was certainly in trouble.  
                 Fangs shot me a look that screamed ‘I told you so’ as I snuck behind him through the doors of the Wyrm. Clutching Carter to me as a 15-pound shield of cuteness, I shrunk under the intensity of his glare. “You wanna tell me why you didn’t call me first? Isn’t this something I would need to know about?” He smoothed the gravel in his tone slightly when Carter squeaked in protest.  “How am I supposed to protect my own family if I don’t know what’s going on with them, Emma, how?”
                 “Oh, is that my cue? Am I supposed to talk now, or do you want to yell at me some more?” I sputtered.
                 He groaned, shifting his weight from one foot to another and pinching the bridge of his nose.  “If I didn’t love you so much, I swear… You drive me insane.”
                 “The bitch called me about ten minutes after you left.  Fangs was there, so we were safe.  You were right and I was wrong, doesn’t that make you feel better?”
                 He simply flattened his lips into a flat line in response.
                 “No? Ok then… anyway, if I had called you, you would’ve come straight home, so no I do not regret not calling you.”
                 “Of course I would’ve come home, Emma.  I would’ve dropped everything and been back with you as soon as I could.  To hell with…” he trailed off, avoiding my stare.
                 “To hell with what?” I quipped.  “With Blazer? With Axel? What about Sienna? You would’ve said to hell with them and their safety to come chasing an empty threat? Is that what you’re saying? Cause I would not be okay with that.”
                Huffing, he answered after a few minutes, “I guess I see your point.”  His posture visibly relaxed.  I was bouncing Carter around animatedly, resisting the urge to shout “HA”. “I’m sorry for getting upset, baby. I just don’t like you being threatened. The sooner we turn Larry in the better.”
                 “Well, we don’t know what they’re going to vote to do yet, cause you made us leave.”
                 “I don’t give a rat’s ass.  He’s my problem.  This is my choice.  It’s clear to me that he’s in it with Peabody.  They just want the cash, I know it.”
                 I blanched, trying to find the best angle to approach this conversation.  “But what if that’s not the case?  Would it be worth handing him over if he was innocent?”
                “Innocent?” he scoffed.  “He could do good deeds for the rest of his life and still not be considered innocent.  Do you know what he put me through?”
                 I leaned into him instinctively, balancing Carter with one arm and forcing Sweet Pea’s arm to circle me with my other.  “I do, and I wish I could take it all away. I just don’t want this decision to torture you if you make the wrong choice.  I really really really think you should talk to him first.  Then we can figure it out.”
                 He stiffened against me and took shallow breaths. I hated to see him this vulnerable. “I guess.”
                 “Do you still love me?” I muttered, smoothing out Carter’s hair.
                 His chest shook slightly as he chuckled. “Always, Emma.”
                “That’s what I was hoping you’d say. I love you too, Pea.” I smiled pulling him back inside, feeling lighter.

It started with a bet
Tumblr media
3200 words
"He's looking over again." Cassie whispered, hiding her mouth behind her cocktail glass. A strong concoction of various rums and mixers being covered with colourful umbrellas and straws. It was barely 11:30 am and we were on our first one of the day.
"He's not." You replied sneakily glancing over his way.
"He is. He just turned around again."
"Maybe he's looking for someone."
"Yeah, you."
"He is not, shut up." You reply laughing, but you felt the blush rise in your cheeks.
You'd been sitting by the rooftop pool in your hotel for a few hours now, and you obviously hadn't failed to notice the toned tattooed body of a certain celebrity. Pictures of Harry Styles really did him no justice, he was fucking gorgeous. He was tall, broad and you couldn't keep your eyes off of him. Thank God for sunglasses to hide behind.
"I swear to you, he was checking you out when we were in the pool earlier."
"How can you tell that, when he's wearing sunglasses?" You scoffed at her.
"Oh come on! He was looking right in our direction. Only 'one direction'!" She said smirking.
And then he turned around again. "Ssshhhh! He will hear you. Poor guy is trying to relax!" You said giving Cassie a playful shove.
"Whatever! I can prove it." She replied.
"Oh yeah? How?" You whispered, shaking your head at her knowing she was wrong. She watches far too many rom com's. You were secretly thrilled at the thought that he could be looking your way. You'd been wondering if his large hands were as good as they looked. Cassie broke you from your daydream.
"Go in the pool."
"What?"
"Go on, get in and do a few widths. I bet you £50 he watches you."
"Fuck off!" You mumbled.
"Why is it so hard to believe that he's checking you out?"
"Why would Harry Styles be checking me out?" You whispered to her.
"Um because your arse looks amazing in that bikini and your boobs are phenomenal." She replied without even pausing.
He once again turned around to look at you from his sun lounger a few rows in front of you. He smiled and turned around again to face the pool. You had a feeling he could hear you both talking.
"Cass.......I've already told you. I'm not interested in you like that! And I'm sure your husband....... You know David, you remember him right.....wouldn't like it!" You said.
"He probably would actually, you know a bit of girl on girl!" She said giggling and you joined in with her, your sides starting to ache.
"Care to take that bet?" She asked.
"Ok then, I'll take that bet." You said as you stood up and then walked over to the pool.
You walked down the steps to find the pool warmer than it was earlier. The mid day sun had heated it to a good temperature. You swam a few widths, desperately trying not to make it too obvious that you were looking in his direction. He didn't move from his position, he was on his back, arms stretched above his head, sunglasses on. It wasn't until ten minutes later when you'd cooled off enough to want to get out, that you noticed him from the corner of your eye.
He had sat up, and was looking directly towards you, well you thought he was, you couldn't be 100% sure as he was wearing sunglasses.
You weren't one to feel self conscious, you had a pretty good relationship with your body image. However you hadn't expected him to be so ballsy about it, especially when you walked past his row of sun loungers and he turned his head to follow you.
"You owe me £50." Cassie said as you wrapped a towel around yourself.
Fuck!
 Cassie fell asleep not long after your dip in the pool, you decided to head to the bar for some water. You marked your book with its book mark and pulled your cover up on, glancing over discreetly to see what Harry and his friends were up to. Everyone was asleep on their sun loungers except for Harry who was staring in your direction. You smiled at him and headed to the bar.
When you came back, you noticed he was still looking over, nervously biting his lip this time.
You pulled off your cover up and sat back down trying not to look at him again. Was he watching you?  The thought was making you flustered. You picked up your book and noticed a napkin had been placed inside. What the hell?
You heard a cough and looked up to see Harry looking at you, he raised one finger slightly indicating that the napkin was from him and you wondered what it was for. You moved your sunglasses to the top of head and glanced down at it. 
A phone number was written on it.
You looked over and raised your eyebrows at him. He smiled at you and shrugged his tanned broad shoulders.
You rummaged around in your bag for your phone before typing in his number. You carefully folded the napkin and put it in the small zip compartment. You didn't want Cassie to see it.
"Hi." You messaged. What else could you say?!
You saw him reach for his phone and smile, before typing his reply.
"Hi back!"
"Enjoying yourself?!"
"Very much so. You?" He replied back.
"I am thank you!"
"Sorry I lost you £50!" He replied and you looked up, your mouth wide open in shock. Shit, he had heard you talking. He gave you a cheeky smirk.
"So you should be sorry. I don't like losing bets!"
"Couldn't help but look, your arse does look amazing in that bikini, and I think she used the word phenomenal for your boobs?!"
You shook your head laughing at your own embarrassment and the blush in your cheeks was getting worse.
"You're a cheeky shit Styles!" You replied quickly.
"So you know my name but I don't know yours?"
"No you don't."
You saw him look over towards you and laugh.
"I'm Ellie." You quickly replied.
"Nice to meet you Ellie."
"Nice to meet you to Harry."
"You taking another dip in the pool soon?"
"Would you like me to?" You replied shocked and your brazen behaviour. You would've never said anything like this to his face.
"I would love you to. X"
"Isn't there anyone else you would prefer to perv at?!"
"Perv at?! It's called admiring a beautiful woman actually."
"Oh admiring?!"
"Yes admiring, don't think I haven't missed you looking at me."
"I was merely glancing, I like your tattoos."
"You do?"
"Yeah, can't make out what some of them are but the ones I can see are beautiful."
"Are you wanting a closer look?"
"Are you offering an opportunity to take a closer look?"
You saw him raise his eyebrows at your message. You both knew those last two lines about getting a better look at his tattoos had a hidden meaning. He took his time to reply, you can see him trying to tread carefully with his words.
"I might be, not sure if you would be able to get close enough out here to see them."
You leaned over and took a sip of your water from the bottle. You can see him sitting there, stewing over your lack of urgent reply. He has his sunglasses off now and his eyes are staring right at you. In that moment you realise that he wants you just as much as you want him. You squeeze your thighs together to try and discreetly ease the throbbing that flutters there.
You can't believe you are doing this but you stand up, bend over giving him an excellent view of your bum and pick up your cover up. You turn around and pull it over your head. Reaching up and stretching your arms up, pushing your breasts out. You never behave like this, so forward, it's just not something you do.
You look over at him and he is typing into his phone.
"You're a tease."
"I don't tease." You reply and you turn to walk away hoping he will follow you. You see him stand up and throw a t shirt on over his head, knowing he is right behind you.
You have no idea where you are heading as you walked into the hotel, but then you feel his arm around your waist and he pulls you towards a corridor. You realize that you only have your phone in your hand, no room key. You look up at him, you can tell he isn't sure where he's going either but he glances around and sees the corridor empty so he stops.
His hands are on your hips, his head tilted down towards you as he walks you back against the wall of the corridor. Your bum hits the wall and he leans in closer, your arms instantly wrap around his neck and broad shoulders. He's hesitant, you can tell he's not sure if he should be doing this or not.
You stay still, waiting for him to make a move, you know he's wondering if he's making a mistake, are you trustworthy? Will you sell a story if anything happens between you both? You know he can tell you're nervous, you hope he can tell that you aren't like that. His nose nudges gently against yours, and you smile nervously at him. 
You hear someone laughing around the corner, and you push his chest forcing him away from you. He looks shocked but then realises what you've heard and takes your hand. You both still have no idea where you're going, until you spot the row of doors and realise where you are. These are the doors for the private showers from the spa and gym. You pull his hand and lead him towards the end one, the lock is green showing it to be vacant. You open the door and pull him in with you just as the people come around the corner.
You hear him lock the door and as you turn around his hands are on your hips again and he crashes his lips to yours. You manage to place your phone on the counter and wrap your hands around his neck, your fingers instantly finding his hair. He moans against your mouth as you pull it slightly, and keep your body flush against his. 
His hands wander from your hips to your bum and he's pressing his erection against your centre. It's your turn to moan now, and he catches it in his kiss. He's pulling at your cover up, and you break the kiss for a moment so he can pull it up over your head, a cocky smile on his face.
His lips find yours again and his tongue slides in and explores your mouth. His hands leave your bum and he begins to pull the strings on your bikini top, they come undone easily and it falls to the floor. "Fuck" he whispers "they are phenomenal." You smile and he leans down and brings your nipple to his mouth. The air con is on in this small room, and combined with his sweet licks and sucks your nipples pebble in seconds. His mouth is devouring your breasts and you lean your head back against the wall. You notice the large shower in the corner, and you decide you need him in there. 
"Harry......" You moan and he pauses his feast. "Yes Ellie......" god you love how your name rolls off his sweet plump red lips.
"Want to use that?" You say panting and nodding towards the shower.
He turns and looks over his shoulder to look, a smirk appears on his face. Your hands are on the hem of his t-shirt and you pull it over his head as he faces you. His lips are on your mouth again before he moves slowly across your jaw and neck. The heat between your legs is almost unbearable and you squeeze your thighs together again.
He pulls away from you and you whine at the loss of contact. "Ssshhhh......let me turn the water on." He says as he caresses your cheek with his thumb, his voice is low and soothing.
You see him reach in and turn the shower on, before adjusting the temperature. You can't help but stare at his broad shoulders flexing as he reaches up. Fuck.
You watch as he places his hand under the water to check the temperature, and you can't help but make your way over to him. You wrap your arms around his waist and kiss him across his shoulders, he smells like coconut suntan lotion. It's intoxicating, you breathe him in as he places his hands on the wall. You move your hands down and palm him over his swim shorts, he's already hard and you can feel how big he is. 
You can hear his breath begin to get heavy and you know he's loving the feel of your fingers stroking across him. You dip your hand inside his shorts and wrap your fingers around his shaft. Your lips are still pressed against the soft skin of his back, as you use your other hand to pull down his shorts. They pool at his ankles, you take the opportunity to move his legs apart with your knee so you can reach your other hand around to gently cups his balls.
Your hand has now found a rhythm to pump his hard cock and he's moaning louder now as you combine it with stroking his balls.
"You might want to lower your voice if you want this to continue. Don't want to be interrupted." You whisper against his ear.
"And you might need to stop stroking me if you want this to continue. Your hands wrapped around me feels so fucking good." He all but growls out.
You halt your movements, and he turns around and kisses you. It's fast and hard and he's pulling you back with him to step in the shower before pulling the curtain. He's quick to notice you've still got your bikini bottoms on and he kneels down in front of you and pulls them down. You step out of them, but he doesn't let you close your legs. Instead he keeps them pulled apart and dips his head forward and buries his nose and mouth against you. You part your legs further for him and he lifts one of them across his shoulder.
His tongue licks across your clit and you shudder at his touch. You know he's smirking at the way your body has reacted to him. The warm shower has made the shower cubicle fill with steam and your back begins to slide up and down the wet wall. His tongue is pushing deeper inside your pussy and your desperate for him to fuck you with it. His nose is rubbing against your clit, rubbing it just the right way. This boy knows exactly what he's doing.
It's less than a minute later and you're already pulsing against his mouth, your orgasm being lapped up by his smooth tongue. He devours your pussy, licking and cleaning up every last drop of your release.
"You taste so sweet baby......wanna taste?" He asks as he stands to his feet.
You bite your lip and nod, he cups your face and brings his mouth to yours. You can taste the sweetness of your orgasm on his tongue and you move your hands to his waist pulling him closer to you. You can feel his cock against your hip, and you stop the kiss and look down between your wet bodies.
"See something you want?" He asks cheekily.
"God yes.......I'm trying to decide what I want more, you to cum in my mouth or for you to fuck me and we cum together." 
His eyes widen at your words. You can't quite believe you said it to be honest.
"Fuck.......Ellie......." he mumbles before he kisses you again, he bends his legs and lifts you up around his waist. His cock is right by your entrance and you can't wait for him to fill you up. It's been so long since you've been fucked.
"I've been thinking about being balls deep inside you all morning. That ok by you?" He asks. "Maybe you can suck my cock later?"
A smirk appears on his lips but it disappears as you wiggle your hips and his cock rubs against your clit. He moans and rests his forehead against yours as he slowly slides himself inside you.
"Fuck.......God......." You whisper against his lips.
He eases himself in deeper and pauses for a second as you stretch around him. "God Ellie you feels so good, better than I ever imagined."
You can't help but smile at the thought that he had been thinking about sinking his hard cock inside you.
Your hands are pulling at his hair as he kisses your neck, his thrusts are slow and steady. You want more, you want him deeper and harder. You tip your hips and start to move against him. "Ellie.......slow......or this will be over in seconds."
You can't believe the effect that you've had on him. He's thrusting into you and moaning against your neck. His cock is pushing deeper and deeper inside you, his pubic bone rubbing against your clit. You know if he hits that spot inside you along with the friction on your clit then you will be a mess in seconds. You know that's what he's aiming for, he wants to feel you come undone against him.
"Come for me Ellie...... need to feel you."
"So fucking close......Harry.......so close." You whisper.
A tilt of your hips and he's there. Pushing his long hard cock repeatedly against your g spot and you tighten your pussy against his cock. Your second orgasm almost gushes from you and he's panting and speeding up his thrusts as you pulse against him.
"Ellie.......Baby.......You feel......" he can't finish his words as he cums hard inside you. He pumps his release inside you in three hard thrusts. He's completely spent as he stops moving inside you.
You look down at him. His grip on your hips is still tight, as he comes down from his high, his head tucked into the crook of your neck.
"Harry........" You whisper as you gently stroke your fingers up and down his back.
"Mmmmm...."
"That was......" You can't finish the sentence.
"I know..." he replies.
You stay in the shower for ten more minutes, washing each other down with the free hotel body wash. Both of you don't want to leave the safety of the shower cubicle.
"So, do you think you might want to have dinner with me tonight?" He asks nervously.
"I can't leave Cassie, I'm sorry." You reply.
"Well, can we maybe all have dinner together? Both of you, me and my friends?"
"I'd like that. Will you tell them about this?"
"No I don't think they need to know. Will you tell Cassie?"
"No I won't. Come over to us later, introduce yourself and invite us to dinner." You say and he nods. "I hope they haven't woken up and wondered where are."
When you finally creep out of the spa shower room and make your way back to your sun loungers, you find your friends still asleep. You sit yourself down and take a sip of some water. You look at your phone and realise you were gone 45 minutes. 
Harry is staring across at you as he runs lotion on himself. He can't shake that cheeky grin he's got on his face. You don't know if he will come over and invite you both to dinner but you hope he does. You want nothing more than to suck his cock later.

JT is also fun to play WoW with and makes me feel like a baby b/c he’s and old man. rebecca’s steadfast belief in drarry makes me smile and i love her writing. harri is one of my many wives and her snapchats are amazing (as are her boobs). kinzie i rarely talk to but i can still hit up sometimes like whats up bitch today i had sex while listening to wtnv. cassie, becca, and eleanor are all rly cool and super pretty and nice to chill with and i love their art and photography and general personalities. georgie gave me the sweetest poem and letter last summer when i was feeling down and we have similar aspirations and i’d love to work with her in my career sometime! marko and henry are married istg but anyway marko is such a genuine, honest person and henry is an amazing writer and i loved english with him and it’d make me happy if we were closer. lena is my protege and i am an awful mentor b/c i never see her since i graduated but she is my child. layla is the baddest bitch i have ever met, her nails are always amazing and we can be catty together and blast nicki minaj. sarah is so funny b/c everyone thinks she’s reserved and studious and stuff (and she kinda is) but once you get to know her she is the sassiest person you will ever meet. my sister and i fight sometimes over me stealing her clothes constantly but we bond over how our parents drive us up the wall and also she cooks a lot which means i can steal food. the entire volstovic cycle fandom (dani, scarlett, anna, crystal, etc) are all amazing creators of things and honestly an inspiration. rimsha is the hardest working person i have ever met and i love hearing about her succeed. brady is my fellow gay (tho tbh 90% of the ppl on this list are gay b/c we flock together) and i love him for his snarkiness. all the boys i sat at lunch with in high school (garrison, rex, arun, etc) are such memes but i didn’t realize how cool they were until we graduated and now i’m like, damn i should’ve paid them more attention even tho i saw them every day. my boyfriend is my friend and he’s the most politically active person i have ever met, and he’s such a dweeb, and he makes me smile whenever we’re together (even when i’m trying to be angry at him). feihong acts like a fuckboy but is pretty dang cool if i’m being honest; he’s rly dedicated to what he does. carly and i don’t talk but i appreciate her paintings and selfies and funny tweets from afar. morgan and i were at a fidlar concert once together and we both couldn’t survive the mosh pit (also her instagram captions are fuckin hilarious am i right or am i right?). kelly is a goddamn klepto but we always have fun together drinking coffee and talking about pens and i love and support her art and she does the same for mine. charlotte is chill and i miss just hanging out in her basement b/c she’s such a gemini but in a good way. the ppl i sit with on campus (sumaiya, alex, zuri, etc) are always having interesting convos and share food and it’s a good time. my cousin and her husband (nat and ron) are the most punk ppl in their 30s and they introduced me to the punk scene and i miss them b/c they moved back to kansas. shakey’s photography on insta makes me feel pensive and i want to go to philly just to meet her. miki i’m not super tight with but her writing is a+ and makes me cry and i love rping with her. rina is such a cool mutual and her art is dope. lea is also a cool chic and i love her hair and want her to bake my wedding cake. mousse is so nice to everyone. ellie and i only talk like twice a year at family parties but we can always dive back in and pick up where we left off. the ppl i party w (other aidan, jakob, justin, etc) are dumbasses (i use that term endearingly) but i’m 98% sure they’ve all carried me to the toilet when i’ve been puking my guts out at a party. marley was that friend that ended up going to yale and no one was surprised so i admire her success but also she was always kind to me and always asked how i was doing with my mental illnesses. renee and maria and i bonded over ib art and sga and generally being over-worked by our sponsor. alanna was another one of my proteges who i need to keep up with better b/c she’s badass and funny and has the best eyebrows ever. i don’t talk to sidney anymore but we went thru so much together and supported eachother a lot a few years ago and i still love em for that. eddie is such a dweeb, everytime i see him (which is a surprising amount considering he lives in miami) we act like nothing has changed and go at eachothers throats. rachel m & galen have both grown so so much since i met them and i’m proud of them. rachel s is so fun to talk about hoe things with and laugh at eachother. marco has the best finsta of anyone ever. danny and i talk over snapchat every so often (like every month or so) and we have the weirdest convos like?? let’s name your imaginary lizard. zamzam (from my creative writing class last semester) was super fun to hang out with when she came over and actually everyone in that class (xander, leah, olivia, will, etc) were excellent writers and hilarious and we all bonded. victor is such a bro honestly he’s funny and is very attentive (actually listens) and is fun sober or not. sandra i’ve known since i was a baby and never really talked to until recently but she’s so nice to talk to about small things. alyssa i stalk obsessively on goodreads b/c who else can read that much, istg girl you’re a cyborg (but like a pretty one). rp buds that i haven’t mentioned so far (mario, mackenzie, etc) i value a lot for their companionship and writing. there are tons of ppl from hs that i wish i had gotten to know better when i was there (julia, drea, tina, both erins, bridget, etc). 
and yeah there are more ppl but those are mostly ppl i talk to at parties or dm occasionally or wish i was friends with but admire from afar. anyway. this got long. I JUST LOVE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!
