the school burnout is starting to get to me. i do not want to shame myself for it, because i know it’s something i really struggle with. it comes with the mental disabilities, i know this i know. i need to write this for myself to remind myself that it’s okay for me to do what i can to relax, and sometimes i won’t always get stuff done right away on time and that’s okay. and i need to remind myself to be communicative with my professors, and allow myself the space to ask for help or extensions if i need it. and i should communicate when i’m feeling this way if i know it’s going to affect my work. and i need to mentally prepare myself for asking for that help, so that when the time comes for me to do so i can fight through the anxiety that comes with it.

{Ellie Williams x Reader}
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: Being in love with your best friend has got to be one of the most emotionally exhausting things someone can experience, so it’s time you put your foot down and moved on….at least, try to move on
an: God it almost feels wrong to just come back after so long without a continuing chapter to what I’ve been working on, pls don’t be mad at me 😵‍💫. I’ve been really busy you guys! I just got home yesterday and while I know you’ve all be asking for other things, I just haven’t been feeling super inspired to continue them RIGHT NOW, and I feel that’s why I’ve been MIA for so long. While I say I’m not inspired to continue them right now, that doesn’t mean I’m abandoning them! I will be coming back to them don’t worry! For now, I hope this little angsty fic is enough for you all, and I hope you’ve stuck around to read it, and if you haven’t, that’s okay too. Anyways, I’ve missed you all so much, and I hope you like this one 🖤🖤🖤.
Warnings: ANGST!!! Eventual smut in future chapters, Ellie is an oblivious idiot, Quiet!reader, momentary alternative love interest (it’s just for the story I promise 😉), jealous!Ellie, possessive!Ellie, Please let me know if I missed anything!
Part 2 can be read, here!
The warm glow of your tv screen became blurry with each passing second. You could barely make out the erratic movements of the video game characters beating each other to a pulp as Ellie’s fingers tapped away at the buttons on the game controller, soft huffs leaving here lips ever so often. “Fucking dick..” She mumbled under her breath, eyebrows knit in deep concentration, eyes almost growing watery from her lack of blinking.
You on the other hand, you were nearly fast asleep. Cuddled into your sofa, resting your head against a pillow that was propped up against the arm of the couch, a plush blanket draped over your body as you watched your best friend control a scantily clad character to violently fight the opposite person.
This was tradition for you and Ellie. She’d come over, you would force her to study with you because she was often too stubborn to do it without you, you’d order shitty take out, watch her play video games, and then you’d fall asleep. It always ended with her dragging you to your bedroom, staying with you for a bit before she left, and then in the morning, she’d be waiting for you outside your apartment to go to school together.
And that was life, life with your best friend that is. It had been that way since you were practically babies, your routines changing and adapting to whatever phase of life you were both in within that moment, but it was always more or less the same. And you couldn’t complain, you wouldn’t change it for the world.
Not even if you were given the chance to have her as something more.
Ellie had always been a charmer, and unfortunately, the extent of her charming demeanor had made its way to you. It was something you noticed early on, as soon as you were able to decipher feelings of love, you were able to link those with Ellie. When people would explain love to you, or you’d see it in others, you thought of Ellie. You realized quickly after that though, that Ellie was your best friend, and feelings would greatly complicate the long history that you two had together.
And so, you swallowed them down.
It wasn’t like it was painful or anything. Sure, seeing Ellie with other girls wasn’t great, but you coped. Life went on, and you promised yourself you’d never let your feelings get in the way of Ellie’s life, your life, or your friendship.
“Man…I’d let Mileena rip my head off any day…” Ellie sighed out, the girl never a stranger to gawking at the make believe video game characters in her favorite games. You let out a sleepy hum, giving her a nod as you cuddled further into the couch, not fully able to comprehend your friends words due to your sleepy state.
The sounds you made caught Ellie’s attention, causing her to sit forward a bit so she could catch a glimpse of your nearly sleeping face. She chuckled softly, shaking her head a bit as she reached forward for the controller, turning off the console followed by the tv before she stood up, taking your hand in hers and pulling you slightly.
“You have the energy of a seventy year old woman…come on, let’s get you to bed grandma” she teased, and it only causes you to whine softly. The couch is so comfortable, and you’re more than happy with sleeping there for the night just so you didn’t have to move and lose the blissful drowsy feeling that came with the sounds of Ellie playing Mortal Kombat lulling you to sleep.
“I’m fine here…” You tried, knowing that she wouldn’t settle for you sleeping there on the couch all night. And she didn’t need to be told twice, she let out a soft hum, one that almost sounded like she’d leave you there, but suddenly you’re being lifted off of the couch, into Ellie’s strong chest, even stronger arms wrapping around your body, which once again caused you to whine.
No matter how tired you were, how close to sleep, you can’t ignore the burning fire in your chest when she holds you like this. Even though being Ellie’s friend was the furthest thing from painful, it was times like this that it got a little too hard. Ellie was always a very affectionate person, especially with people she was close to, and you happened to be at the top on that list.
So, when she’d do things like this, pull you up into her arms and carry you to bed, or slip her arms around your waist and spoon you from behind when you were watching movies together, or when she’d pull you close to her when you were in a crowded room, it was easy to imagine how things would be if it were different, if you were able to have her in the way you wanted.
Only for a moment though.
Ellie hummed softly as she gently rested you on your bed, making sure to pull your socks off because she knew you’d kick them off in your sleep anyways, and pull the blanket, not the duvet, over your body because it was how you preferred to sleep. She knew exactly what to do with you, and it always made your heart tug.
She smiled softly down at you, watching as your heavy eyes grew even heavier once your head hit your soft pillows. She gave your elbow a gentle nudge before she turned off the lights in your room, closed the door, and left your apartment.
And even though you were already falling asleep, you couldn’t ignore the urge you had to ask her to stay. The urge you always had to ask her to stay with you.
Tumblr media
You let out a soft yawn, rubbing your eyes a bit before you began writing down in your notebook again. Your headphones played soft music into your ears, the blessing of a noise cancelling headset always making it easy to study in your college library, for a moment, pretending as if you were the only one there.
Until Ellie showed up.
She gently pulled one side of your headset up, her lips close to your ear as she approached you. “Hey stranger” she giggled softly, causing you to whine as you pulled the headset down to rest against your neck. You gave your friend a soft smile as you set your pen down, watching as she promptly took the seat next to you and tossed her bag onto the table.
“Hey yourself…came all the way to the library to see me?” You teased her, propping your elbows onto the table and resting your head against your hands as you watched her slump down into her chair, oversized hoodie hanging on her broad shoulders, light washed denim jeans hanging loose on her hips, short hair lazily tugged up into her signature half up half down ponytail, pretty strands falling down and framing her face perfectly.
God she was a fucking dream.
Ellie groaned softly, her head falling back as she blew air past her lips, staring up at the ceiling of the library. “I have time between classes…so I came to bother my favorite little scholar” She hummed out, giving you a lazy grin as she turned her head back towards you, causing you to roll your eyes at her words.
“You know, you could use this time to study” you try, narrowing your eyes at her playfully, which causes her to roll her eyes right back at you. “Ahhh, please. You’re probably the only one here that actually does that shit” she hummed out, which causes you to shrug, closing your books and stacking them upon one another. “True, but I have the grades to show for it” you nod to herself before you push your things to the side, turning back to your friend and giving her your attention.
“So? What’s happening. You look like you’re just itching to tell me something” you smirked softly, knowing your friend all too well. Whenever became fidgety, or absolutely needed to find you, there was something on her mind.
Ellie smirked softly, staring down at her ring clad fingers before she let out a soft hum, purposefully keeping you waiting with anticipation before she began speaking.
“Do you think Sofia is into girls?”
For a moment, the twinkle in your eye, and the soft smile on your lips as you watch your best friend drops completely. You’re glad she isn’t looking, because you’re sure anyone would be able to see the visible disappointment written on your face as soon as she says it. You only let it fall for a moment though, because you’re immediately collecting yourself, picking yourself up off the ground and giving your friend a soft, reassuring nod.
“Has being straight ever stopped a girl from being into you Ellie?” You tease her, recalling the frequent times girls claimed they were straight, yet somehow always ended up chasing after Ellie after they’ve had one too many drinks.
Ellie groans softly, shaking her head as she sits forward a bit. “No man…I don’t wanna just hook up with her..or..or be her fantasy or something. I wanna…ask her out or something” she mumbled out, cheeks burning red as she toyed with the shiny rings on her fingers. You blink a few times, trying to find the right words to encourage your friend to do it, to pursue whoever it was that she wanted.
No matter how much the words tasted bitter on your tongue.
“Well…ask her, or you can ask around? A close friend of hers would definitely know if she was interested in girls or not” you tried again, watching as your friend frowned in concentration, eyebrows furrowed, green eyes narrowed.
Whoever this girl was, Ellie was doing her head in over her….
It almost bothered you that this was your first time hearing about her.
“You think? I’ve just…I’ve had my eye on her for a while and I think I’m ready to finally make a move, you know?” She sighed out, and you nod slowly, giving her a soft smile paired with a reassuring nod.
“Then go for it, Els. The worst she can say is no, and even then, there are plenty of other fish in the sea” you assure her. Because it’s true, Ellie never stayed single for long. There were always girls interested in her, or her them, and it wasn’t long until she was introducing you to a new, pretty girl that she’d have on her arm for the next however many months.
She smiled softly as she nodded, your words clearly getting through to her, as they always did. She gives a determined nod, moving to stand up from the chair she was sat at. “You’re damn right there is…hey, I’m gonna try to find someone to talk to, but I’ll catch you later, yeah?” She nods, slinging her bag over one of her shoulders, already walking away from the table as her eyes never left yours.
You give her a soft nod, eyes lingering on her form as you let out a low hum. “Always” you confirm, knowing that it was true. You’d always be there when Ellie needed you.
She beamed back at you, giving you a nod. You could practically see the excitement shining off of her body, seeping through her pores. “And I’ll catch you this weekend! Your place!” She shouted, causing your eyes to widen at her volume, the other students instantly shushing her. You give her a quick nod, your hands fanning away as you shoo her out of the library, a soft giggle leaving your lips.
You ignore the little cracks in your heart, because the smile on her face makes up for it. You know it’ll pass, you know this is merely a phase of your life that you’ll look back on and laugh at once you’ve found the person that was right for you, one that filled up the little holes that Ellie left in your heart.
And oh how you couldn’t wait for that day to come.
Tumblr media
You don’t see Ellie that following weekend.
In fact, the last time you actually saw her was that day in the library, with the few times you saw her in and out of classes that the two of you shared.
Ellie ended up talking to Sofia that same day, and it turns out she was interested in girls. From the texts that she sent you that night, she was raving about the day that they had set up after hours of talking out in the courtyard. She tells you she’s sorry, that she can’t make it out to your place for your routine weekend together, and you tell her it’s fine, to have fun and tell you all about the date the next morning.
And suddenly, you can’t remember the last time you spent more than five minutes with your best friend.
You text here and there, and she catches you outside of class when you happen to make it there at the same time sometimes, but you don’t really have lunch together anymore like you always do, you don’t sit outside in the courtyard to kill time between classes together, she doesn’t visit you in the library, all of those things just suddenly stop.
And then she tells you, she’s dating Sofia.
She tells you they made it official after the first four dates, and at first you feel it’s a bit fast, but you realize they spend all of the time that you and Ellie used to spend together, with each other instead, and it suddenly makes sense. Ellie had a girlfriend now, and it was the explanation for the sudden lack of her presence, the absence of your best friend on weekends. While you stared at your tv screen alone, she was with Sofia.
And you were happy for her, of course you were happy, why wouldn’t you be? She was your best friend and she had gotten the girl she wanted for so long, just as you expected she would…
But the happiness you felt for her lived alongside the sadness that you felt. The two emotions becoming tenants in the home that was your heart, sitting across one another, glaring at each other as they battled for control of you, controlling how you dealt with the situation, how you coped with the sudden disappearance of your best friend.
So, you didn’t give either one control, you ignored them both after a while, and you simply carried on as if nothing had ever happened.
Ellie really was the only person you occupied any free time with, opting to be with her rather than anyone else, because it felt good. You liked it when it was just you and Ellie, it was easy, and it was easy to not overthink things and simply be, rather than worry about how you were behaving.
So without her, you simply did all the things you did with her, just on your own.
Ellie tried to make time for you, while juggling the escapades that come with the early stages of a relationship, you couldn’t take that away from her, but you saw how hard it was. You didn’t want her to feel bad, or feel like she was neglecting you, or her friendship, even if she sort of was. You convinced her it was fine, that she deserved to enjoy her new relationship, and that it needed more attention than your friendship ever would, not right now at least.
And Sofia was great. She was beautiful, and kind, and sweet, and after meeting her a few times, you considered her to be somewhat of a big sister figure. Seeing her made it clear to understand just why Ellie was so keen on taking her off the market as soon as she could.
But that seemed to make it even harder to deal with.
It was on days like this one where it hit you a bit harder, Ellie’s absence. You didn’t mind being alone, but walking to and from classes without her constant banter and jokes definitely wasn’t the best, and heading out to the cafes for lunch was far too quiet on your own, but, you prevailed.
You were making your way out of your third and last class for the day, a soft sigh leaving your lips as you adjusted your bag on your shoulder. The week was finally closing in, and you couldn’t be happier. You yearned for the warmth of your home, your cozy little bed, your favorite mug filled with your favorite hot chocolate, it called to you as you pushed past the large doors of your college building, making your way out to the brisk outdoors of your campus.
The sound of quickening footsteps behind you was almost drowned out as you took your headphones from behind your neck, and began setting them onto your head. A hand suddenly pulled them down, forcing them back around your neck, which caused your eyebrows to furrow as you turned around to see who in their right mind would try to fuck with a girl and her music.
You almost passed out when you were met face to face with your best friend.
Seeing her made you realize just how long it had been since you saw her. You tried convincing herself it had only been a few weeks, but you found it hard to remember the last time you were staring up into those big green eyes, and not imagining them instead.
Your frown was quickly replaced with a soft smile, adjusting your bag on your shoulder as you stared up at Ellie. “Ellie…god…I was ready to start throwing punches” you joked, pulling your headset from around your neck and pushing them down into your beg before you looked back up at her.
Ellie chuckled softly, watching as you went about putting your things away. Her smile was so bright, eyes twinkling, cheeks red, all signs that pointed towards the same thing.
Ellie Williams was properly smitten.
“I’ve been looking for you, dork…you’re always hiding these days” she groaned out, which caused you to hum softly, giving her a slight shrug. “Been busy studying Els…I’m sorry” you tried, giving her a half smile.
Knowing that your studying was not the cause of the divide in your friendship, and neither was it you hiding.
She pouted softly, stepping forward so that you two could walk together. “I miss you…” She hummed out, staring down at the Nikes on her feet, nearly swallowed up by her baggy jeans. Her words make your heart tug as you stare up towards the large trees, swaying with the autumn wind, sun peeking in between the thick foliage of the leaves.
“How are you And Sof? Things going well?” You questioned, opting to ignore the way you heart beat faster when she said she missed you. You were also genuinely curious, you wanted to hear more about Ellie’s relationship, you wanted her to confide in you and trust you as anyone else would trust their best friend with their relationship.
Ellie instantly smiled bashfully at the mention of the girl, a soft hum leaving her lips as she nodded. “Fuck…she’s amazing, man. She’s like a fucking dream, I swear, I’m honestly not sure what I’ve done to deserve her” she sighed out, voice sounding so dreamy and love sick, you can’t help but smile.
“You like her…don’t you? I mean…you’re my best friend, your approval is one that’s pretty fucking important to me” she chuckled out as she looked over at you, head dipping down a bit to try and her a glimpse of your down casted face, her hands shoved into her pocket.
Her words make you hum, and you’re giving her a soft smile as you look up at her. Her expression is written with one that is concerned, concerned that you approve of her relationship, that you think she’s making the right move with Sofia.
And you know in that moment, you have the power to break it all. You have the power to rip things to shreds, just by telling Ellie you think Sofia isn’t the right girl for her, because you know she’ll listen to you. You know she’ll take your feelings into consideration, because she trusts you.
“I think she’s perfect for you, Ellie” you breath out, giving her a reassuring smile.
Because just as much as you know you have the power to be horrible, and rip everything away from them both, Ellie doesn’t deserve that, and neither does Sofia. They don’t deserve to hurt for the sake of your feelings, at the expense of what you feel for Ellie.
And the smile you see your best friend shoot your way makes it all worth it, because it’s like she’s been waiting for those words to leave your lips to go all the way, to give herself to Sofia completely and give into her as she wanted to this entire time.
“Fuck…you don’t know how happy that makes me” she sighs out, looking up towards the sky and letting her eyes flutter shut as she takes a deep inhale, and you know she’s truly happy.
And that makes you happy.
“Hey, are you busy next weekend? There’s a party Sof and I are going to, you should come with us” she says as she looks down towards you. You know it’s a bad idea, because it means you’ll third wheel the entire night, tucked away in a corner to avoid watching them make out all night long until it’s time to go home, where you’ll be just as miserable there as you are in your house.
But you know Ellie won’t take no for an answer.
You let out a soft sigh before you give her a nod, paired with a half smile, and she’s already cheering loudly, causing people around you to stare, and you groan softly as you give her a gentle shove, urging her to stop.
“I’ll text you the details! Sof and I will pick you up” she confirmed, and you give her a soft giggle before you nod. “Get out of here…I’ll see you then” you promise, and she’s smiling brightly as she begins walking away.
And despite the fact that it’s the first time you’ve talked to her in far too long, and it was mainly about her girlfriend, you can’t ignore the way your heart ignites for that small interaction on its own, and the excitement you feel knowing you have plans with her in the near future.
It’ll be fine, you remind yourself. It always has been, and it always will be. And with that, you made your way home.
Tumblr media
The following week, is when you met Alex.
You were making your way to your first class of the day, the early morning sun shining down on you, giving you only a bit of warmth from the brisk air that swirled around you and the other students scattered about within the large courtyard that served as a main point sprouting out to all other campus buildings.
Your eyes were trained on your feet, a habit you had that had caused you to run into many people, many times. It was an easy way for you to stay deep in thought, focusing on the way your shoes sounded hitting the pavement with each steps, watching as they crunched against leaves.
“Excuse me?” A soft voice broke you away from your locked gaze on your feet, your eyes blinking a few times as you looked up to figure out who it was that was trying to get your attention.
When you laid eyes on the person looking at you, you nearly passed out.
It was a girl, she was tall, with pretty eyes and a charming smile. Her jacket hung loosely on her shoulders, bag draped over one of her arms, a paper in one of her hands. Her features were strong, yet soft at the same time, mixing together both masculine and feminine and almost making your mind go completely blank as her beautiful eyes stared into yours.
“Um…could you help me? It’s my first day and I’m sort of lost” she chuckled out bashfully, her hand reaching up to run through her hair as she tried handing you the paper in her hand. You simply blinked a few times, watching the girl almost in awe as she stared down at you, before you realized you were in fact gawking at this woman.
You cleared your throat, giving her a quick nod before you giggled. “Yes! Yea…sorry..I…can I?” You question as you gestured towards the paper, which caused her to chuckle softly and nod as she handed it to you.
Your eyes scanned over the paper, furrowing a bit in concentration before you zeroed in on the first class she has in her schedule, and it made you smile.
“Oh, that’s where I’m going! You must be the new transfer student the professor was talking about” you explain, your heart beating a bit faster as you come to the conclusion that not only is this insanely hot girl speaking to you, but she’s also in your first class of the day.
She smiles brightly, pearly white teeth flashing your way as she raises her eyebrows. “No way…would you mind if I walked with you then?” She hums out, eyeing you carefully before you look up at her from the paper, giving her a shy smile as you nod. “I wouldn’t mind at all…come on”
You learn that her name is Alex, and that she was supposed to start the semester with everyone else, but there were issues with her documents so she had to transfer instead. The entire way to class, you take your time together, strolling along the pathways and hallways of your school, getting to know one another. You realize that although it’s your first conversation with her, you feel as comfortable with her as you do with…
As you do with Ellie.
When you realize that, you realize that you’d gone the longest without thinking about Ellie than you had in a long time. Alex takes her off your mind completely, because she’s pretty, and her smile makes you swoon, and being with her feels comfortable.
And you reckon you could get used to it.
When you both finally reach your classroom, there are students scattered about, waiting for the professor to arrive and for the lecture to start. You hum softly as you look over at your usual seat, turning around to look up at Alex. “I sit over there…there’s an empty right next to me if you want” you suggest.
The empty seat used to be taken up by Ellie before she started dating Sofia.
Alex smiles brightly as she nods before you can even finish your words, and that alone prompts you to grab her hand and drag her along through all of the seats to get to the two seats tucked away in the corner, the ones you used to look forward to making your way to almost every day that you had class.
When you two are settled, you fall into a comfortable conversation, your head resting against your hand as you listen to her speak. She tells you about her old school, about her favorite books and movies, her favorite music. You’re so caught up in the conversation with Alex…
That you don’t even notice Ellie walk into the room.
She walks in as she usually does these days, laughing softly at something Sofia said, her arm draped around the girls waist, keeping her close. Had it been any other day, she would’ve made her way down to the usual seats in the front that she has recently taken with Sofia, but the sound of our laugh quickly catches her attention.
At first, she realizes she hasn’t heard the loud sound in quite some time. The only thing she’d received from you in the small moments she shared with you were tiny giggles, or small hums, but never that deep, belly laugh that she loved so much.
Then, when she looks at you, head tilting back as you cover your lips, laughing loudly at something she was oblivious to, her eyes finally fall on the person your body is turned towards. A head of short hair and a leather clad, broad back is turned towards her, and suddenly Ellie is frowning.
Because that seat, is hers.
Ellie gives Sofias waist a soft tap, mumbling for her to wait for her at their seats as she presses a soft kiss to her cheek, green eyes never leaving you and Alex as she continues to make you laugh uncontrollably.
She doesn’t think about much, other than the annoyance she feels that someone is in her seat, regardless of the fact that she’d left that seat empty, leaving you alone for weeks on end. All she knows, is that she doesn’t like that someone is sitting in her seat, she doesn’t like that this is the first time she’s heard you laugh in weeks…..
And she sure as hell doesn’t like that it’s this mystery person that is causing that laugh in the first place.
“I know! I can’t believe you like that show too, I was convinced that-“ your words are cut off by the dark, looking presence that is suddenly hanging over you and Alex. It makes you frown softly, looking up to find a very angry Ellie standing in front of both you and Alex.
“Ellie? Hey! What are you doing here?” You question softly, unable to remember the last time you’d seen Ellie up there at those seats with you. The question is genuine, and for a moment you assume something might be wrong, but Ellie’s expression seems to be even more annoyed than when she first got there.
Instead, Ellie completely disregards your question, the girl annoyed with how innocent and genuine your words are, your big eyes blinking up at her with a twinge of worry as you await her reasoning for being there with you. She looks at Alex, her tongue pressing against her cheek before she nods her head towards the seat she’s sitting in. “That’s my seat” she deadpans, not leaving any room for argument.
Alex raises her eyebrows, staring up at Ellie before she turns to you for a moment, humming casually as she gives a half shrug. “I was told no one sits here anymore” she hummed out, staring up at Ellie in a challenging manner. It causes Ellie to scoff softly, rolling her eyes before she inhales deeply, and you know it’s because she’s trying to control her temper.
“Well I do, so you should find a different seat” she barks back, her tone progressively becoming more and more irritated with Alex. Alex simply chuckles softly, clearly taking Ellie for a joke as she sighs out. “Doesn’t have your name on it…so I’m not going anywhere” she finishes off, clearly done with the conversation with Ellie. Ellie raises her eyebrows, finally looking over at you as if to silently ask if you’re just going to let someone speak to your best friend that way.
And it annoys you to no end.
It annoys you because Ellie didn’t care about the seat for the past however many weeks since she’d been dating Sofia, you were sure it had been a good month at least, and suddenly she cares about it when someone is taking up the spot.
Taking up her spot.
You frown softly, staring up at your friend before you let out a soft sigh. “I think Sofia is waiting for you, Ellie” you try, giving her a slight nod as if to remind her that her girlfriend was in fact waiting for her down at the bottom of the sea of chairs. You hope it’ll clear her head, and whatever this sudden urge to come and check up on you with it. You see a flash of something ripple across her face, something you can’t quite make out for a moment, but once you do, it’s clear as day.
Betrayal.
She inhales deeply, eyes never leaving yours, only when they dart over to Alex. She wants to stay and say more, try to get the idiot next to you to sit somewhere else, anywhere else, but suddenly you’re turning your attention back to Alex, a soft smile on your lips as you fall back into conversation with her as if Ellie wasn’t standing right over the both of you. Ellie feels like she could burn a hole through the floorboards with how much it makes her seethe.
And the worst part is? She couldn’t even understand why it made her feel that way.
Soon, she’s stomping off like a child, down the stairs of the lecture room towards Sofia. She gives you an apologetic look from her spot at the bottom where she sits with Ellie, and it makes you so confused because why is she even looking at you that way? As if she was to blame for her girlfriends behavior? You give her a small smile back, and she turns around towards Ellie, her small hands rubbing the girls back gently as she bent her head down and pressed a soft kiss to her head.
You eye them for a moment, but your eyes don’t linger like they used to. You’re quickly looking back at Alex as she speaks to you, making you forget all about the very strange behavior your best friend just exhibited.
“Sorry about that…she’s…she’s great, I promise. I’m sure you two would like each other” you nod, giving Alex a reassuring smile. Alex hums in response as she looks down at Ellie, her eyes narrowing down at her for a moment before she nods. “I’m sure we would” she smiles out, and you can tell despite the rude interaction they just had, she’s genuine, and she seems to want to know more about Ellie.
But you save that for later, because you’d much rather get to know Alex than talk about Ellie.

Platonic!Trio x reader
-£ ask: Can you do something about how Percy, Annabeth and Grover would be meeting a new mortal friend after the quest? Like Annabeth having her first friend outside camp and maybe having all the awesome kid moments she missed ie sleepovers, movies, school dance... stuff like that. Grover making a friend he isn't trying to protect or save and can just be himself. And Percy making a friend with the confidence he got from knowing he's different but not broken. (I loved tonight's episode and can't wait for season two! I hope your enjoying the books they were my favorite when I was 12) @poemfreak306
-£ Warnings: fluffy friendship, hcs, me just going with what my brain comes up with, I haven’t slept since yesterday.

It’s funny how you were so excepting of their situation. Of course you were confused but you got over it pretty fast.
you had watched them defeat a monster on your way home from school and hid while they took care of it. You actually thought you were losing your mind.
They were just surprised as you when you went up to them, a normal human. I mean humans could see through the fog before but you were different.
“So…you actually have goat legs?” You point down at Grover as he blushes and nods.
“Awesome.”
You took them to your house and offered them a place to stay for the night, or some meals at first since they didn’t want to stay around you to long.
Annabeth likes to talk about things she feels like she can’t around anyone at camp, like girly things. Maybe you teach her a new hair style? Or show her a new teen magazine with cutes boys, then show her new movies she might like.
(I have a feel for wound either love or hate legacy blonde and you can’t convince me otherwise)
She likes when you gossip about your regular life and the problems you have, she likes to live through you. She also likes to teach you things to if you ask.
Grover is so happy to have you. He doesn’t feel the pressure. Not that it’s a problem with the other two but he likes to chill in your room. He’s a sucker for laying down in your room while you listen to music and play with his hair. Also, teach him videos games and battle him. He likes to visit you all the time to complain or rest up. You are his battery charger.
Also, Grover loves you because you always prepare snacks for him. He eats anything, Tin cans and random things he could find but you take the time to make him something. Makes him feel loved and cared about.
You are a blessing in Percy’s eyes. The other kids made fun of him for his whole like. But here you are, not a care in the world. You do scold him if he gets hurt and about being more careful tho he enjoys that. He had a kinda normal childhood with his mom so he knew a lot of things like you did so it was easy to bond. You got all his references!
Percy likes it when you listen to him rant on about his problems, about how camp is, or how he killed some monster. He enjoys how excited you get when he tells his stories. You call him and the others your hero’s.
Movie nights are always fun with them. Either you and Percy are showing them a movie you watched or you show them something.
If it horror. Grover will be watching intently while eating popcorn unlike what you thought the first time, he likes it. Annabeth is screaming at the tv how they are messing themselves up and somehow ends up rooting for the killer, (she never will admit she yelps at times) and Percy is in the middle. Sometimes his curling up and turning away, or laughing at the screen.
They get to be kids and enjoy a sleepover, eating snacks and throwing them around, laughing so hard they cry, staying up “all night” and then crashing.
Everytime they return to camp they have a new photo of you to hang up. Even as a mortal you are their best friend and they wouldn’t change it any other way.

Sentence concept (dad Jack):
“Don’t make me tell Dad”
"Oh, fuck.” Axel muttered as he assessed the damage on your newly upgraded G Wagon that you had originally gotten for a push gift for Nova from Jack.
“Dad is going to be so pissed. He literally picked it up for mommy this afternoon.” Autumn replied as she noticed the huge scratch and dent on it.
“I just tapped the barrier! How is it dented!?” Axel exclaimed while throwing his hands up in disbelief.
“Maybe they won't notice?”
“Autumn, please tell me you didn't just say that.”
“Well, you have to come clean because you were the one driving.”
“I….”
“Don't make me tell dad.”
“You play the role of the annoying ass little sister a little too well sometimes.”
“I take that as a compliment.”
The two of them made their way back home and Axel parked your car back in the garage and prayed that you didn't drive it until he was able to talk to Anthony's dad to fix it since he was a mechanic.
When 8 AM hit, Axel heard his father's booming voice and knew he was in trouble.
“AXEL WYATT HARLOW. GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE NOW.”
Axel made his way to the living room to see Jack red in the face and Autumn looking guilty.
‘Sorry big brother.’ She mouthed towards him and all he did was sigh.
“Bye Autumn.” Jack said and she immediately started to protest until he gave her a look.
“Um, I'll be going now.”
“So, you want to explain to me why there is a big dent and a scratch the size of Texas on your mom's G Wagon that I just got upgraded and picked up from the dealer yesterday to surprise her?”
“Umm”
“It's no time for that. And you took your sister and neither of you actually have a license and only a permit? Do you know how dangerous that was?”
“We were coming right back!”
“You can stop with the excuses. You know better than that.”
“I'm sorry.”
“The two of you seriously could have gotten hurt. And then what?”
“Are you going to tell mom?” Axel asked and right on cue, you came in the door.
“Tell me what babes?” You asked and his eyes went wide. You kissed Jack before coming over and hugging Axel as you kissed his cheek. You were back a day early from Atlanta and Axel knew he would be grounded for the rest of his life.
“Uh….”
“Axel and Autumn took your car that I just upgraded for a joy ride last night and dented and scratched it.”
“AXEL!”
“I….”
“With no license. So, Ax along with Autumn is going to use their allowance money every month to get it fixed and I'm not budging. No video games. No going out with your friends and I have to decide if I'll let you play soccer or not.”
“Axel, babe. You understand why we're upset, right?” You asked and all he did was nod.
“You and your sister could have gotten hurt and that is the last thing we want. You not only put yourself in harm's way, but her too.”
“You're her big brother so I expected more from you.” Jack added as Axel was looking down at his feet.
“I know.”
“Ax, we almost lost you when you were a baby so this gave me flashbacks. You cannot do reckless things likw this." Jack quietly said and you simply nodded agreeing with him.
Now, he immediately felt guilty.
“Anytime you want to go out driving, we will take you but this cannot happen again. Cars can be replaced, the two of you can't.”
“Yes, sir.”
“You can go back upstairs.”
That now left the two of you and Jack could tell you were visibly getting upset.
“Baby, I know where your mind is going but they're both okay.” He said as he brought you into a hug.
“I cannot take the thought of something happening to them.”
“I know. But we aren't focusing on that. We’re focusing on the fact that they’re both okay.”

request for jude plsss :) maybe jude taking reader to his training and make it fluffy
WC: 2.2k
Being in a long distance relationship is hard as you can't just spend time together whenever you want but it does mean that time spent together is extra special and always savoured. This is exactly what life is like for me and Jude. The two of us began dating when he was back in England one summer and before he left to go back to Germany we promised each other that we would really try to make long distance work and we have as two years later we are still together. Whenever we can we will see each other whether it's him coming over here when he has a few days off or me going to see him over breaks from uni. When I was applying to universities I looked at a few in Germany so that I could be closer to Jude but he told me not to move all the way out there just for him so I decided to stay in England to get my degree.
Now that my first year is officially over I have a good few months off and the first thing I did was book a plane ticket to go and see Jude. The idea is for us to spend the rest of the season in Germany and then head back home for the rest of the summer. My flight arrived late yesterday afternoon and since then Jude and I have done nothing but cuddle and enjoy each other's company. We talk at some point every day but we still spent hours catching up on things that had happened that we hadn't mentioned to each other. It was so nice to be alone together for once but sadly that can't last forever as Jude still has to go to training. 
In the many times I have been to visit Jude I have never been to one of his training sessions I have been to plenty of games but never to a training session. This morning Jude asked me if I wanted to go with him and before I could give him an answer he started begging me to go as he wanted to introduce me to his teammates properly for the first time. Of course I agreed to go but I can't lie I'm a bit nervous about it. I have met a few of Jude's teammates mostly the ones he is closest to but I have never had proper conversations with any of them so the thought of meeting all these people at once is a bit daunting. It's very obvious that Jude's teammates care for him which means they are going to judge me to see if they think I'm really right for Jude which is what's making me so nervous. 
Jude was so happy that I was coming to training with him that I decided to keep my nerves to myself and just get ready to go. By the time I was ready Jude had made breakfast for both of us which was only some porridge but honestly that's for the best otherwise he would've burnt the house down. After eating we had a bit of time until we needed to leave so Jude dragged me to the sofa and pulled me on top of him so that we could sit together. We watched some tiktoks together as he wanted to show me some funny tiktoks he'd see and then we ended up scrolling through his for you page which was so random as it had clips from tv shows, prank videos and then edits of him or other players. There was a few videos from one creator that he kept skipping through until I stopped him wanting to see what they were. Turns out they were all different date ideas some of which he'd saved for when we were finally together again which I thought was so cute.
The time we had disappeared in no time and before I knew it we needed to leave for training and I got all nervous again. I think Jude could tell I was nervous as he held my hand for the entire car journey and he even let me play my music which he always says he hates even though we like a few of the same songs. When we arrived there was fans waiting outside like there always is on game days hoping to see the players and get them to take pictures. I always hate this part as I don't like having people film me or take pictures of me as I like to keep myself off of social media as much as possible. As we arrived Jude drove in as quickly as he could and he told me to duck my head while he put his hand in front of my face to stop anyone getting pictures of me which I appreciated. 
By the time Jude had parked the car I was really starting to feel nervous especially when I saw a few of his teammates walking in as it dawned on me that I'd have to talk to all of them at once. Meeting new people always makes me anxious but I get worse when I have to meet a big group of people as it always just feels like there is so many eyes on me. I'm almost more nervous to meet Jude's teammates than I was to meet his parents as at least then I knew what I was getting myself into but now I have no idea what's going to happen. 
"You don't need to be so nervous babe I promise they will all love you" Jude said taking me out of the spiral I'd found myself in 
"Are you sure I mean we're so different what if they think we aren't right for each other" I said 
"They aren't going to think that remember opposites attract and I'm definitely very attracted to you" he said making me laugh 
After Jude's pep talk I felt a lot better so we went in together and he walked all the way to the pitch with me so I knew where to go before he went all the way back to change. I wasn't on my own for long as Jude came running back with a few of his teammates before beckoning me over. As I walked over more of the team came out and they all stood watching me walk towards them which made my cheeks heat up as it was really awkward having so many people stare at me. When I got close enough Jude put an arm around my waist and pulled me into his side to press a kiss on my cheek which made me blush more than I already was. 
"Guys this is my girlfriend y/n" Jude said 
"Hi it's nice to finally meet you guys" I said 
They all introduced themselves to me and gave me a hug which I wasn't expecting but it made me feel a lot more comfortable. They all asked some questions about me to get to know me better some of which I'm sure Jude will have told them but they still took an interest anyway. The more I spoke to them the more confident I was feeling so I let my guard down a little to show my real personality as I was holding back a bit to start with until I was feeling more comfortable. At some point I looked up at Jude who still had his arm around my waist and he had a big smile on his face which made me smile more too. As I turned back to continue talking to all the guys he leant down and kissed my head which made me blush like it does every time he kisses me in front of people. 
It wasn't long before the guys actually had to start training so I went and sat back down to watch them. As they trained I was thinking about how I'd never be able to do any of what they do I like to think I'm fit as I go to the gym when I can but I would never be able to train as hard as they do or run for 90 plus minutes in games. I also took the opportunity to watch Jude train and see the way his muscles flexed and how the sweat formed on his forehead making him look incredibly hot. Jude also took every chance he got to look over to me and smirk if he could tell I'd been staring or blow kisses my way. At one point we had a bit of a staring contest which I lost but it was because Jude was making me blush so much that I had to look away or else I think I would've died. 
Eventually all the guys were done with training so I made my way back over to Jude ready to go home and enjoy the rest of the day together. Completely out of nowhere he came running over and picked me up over his shoulder and brought me into the middle of the pitch where all the other guys were stood before putting me down. Despite putting me down he still had his arms tightly wrapped around my waist almost as if he was trying to stop me getting away from him. 
"You two do know we are stood right here right" Mats teased 
"You are so whipped man" Gio added 
"I am not" Jude defended 
"You definitely are we all saw the way you looked at y/n for the entirety of training and you can't keep your hands off her" Gio said 
"Ok fine maybe I am but at least I have the prettiest girlfriend" Jude said giving in knowing he wasn't going to win this argument 
The boys teased him for that even more before I managed to stop them by asking why we were stood in the middle of the pitch instead of going back in. Jude told me he wanted to put my football skills to the test which I absolutely didn't want to do but I couldn't get myself out of it as Jude wouldn't let me. The two of us have played with each other just in the garden a few times and I am yet to get more than a few meters before Jude gets the ball off of me so my skills are non existent. 
To begin with a few of the other guys stayed behind and we started simple by just passing the ball to each other which I got the hang of quickly. Jude then tried getting me to control the ball from in the air which was much harder but after a few tips I managed to do it a few times. The guys really put me through my paces in testing my dribbling, passing and footwork skills which were all mediocre at best but Jude was proud of me and cheering me on which made me feel good. Before allowing me to stop Jude wanted to see if I could score a penalty so of course he made the tallest player go into the goal and gave me the ball so I could set it up how I wanted. First he gave me some advice on how to hit the ball and the best places to aim for statically which didn't really help as I don't know if I can even kick the ball hard enough in the first place. 
Jude gave me one last good luck kiss before standing back to watch. For some reason I felt like I was actually in a penalty shootout and all of a sudden I wanted nothing more than to actually score despite knowing deep down the odds were stacked against me. I could hear Jude cheering my name as I took my run up and kicked the ball with my right foot thinking that was my better foot. Everything moved in slow motion as the ball headed towards the top corner of the goal and then hit the back of the net as it wasn't stopped on its way. In an instant Jude had ran over and started throwing me in the air before covering my face in kisses. 
"That was amazing she's better than you bro" Karim said 
"I don't know about that but thank you" I said 
"No I vote we get rid of Jude and have you join the team" Gio laughed 
"Hey don't disrespect your captain" Jude said 
"Maybe they have a point love I mean surely I can only get better with more practice right" I teased 
"Bringing you here was a mistake now you're on their side not mine" Jude joked 
"What can I say they believe in my abilities" I laughed not able to take myself seriously
We all joked a bit more until all the guys headed into the locker room to change although I could still hear them teasing Jude while I was stood outside. Eventually he came back out and took hold of my hand so we could walk back to the car together. Jude used the journey home to tell me that I had no need to be nervous and he was right all of his teammates were really nice and I fell like I could become good friends with some of them which I didn't expect when I got here this morning. Turns out going to training with Jude was a lot of fun and I might just have to do it again.

punch drunk love
Tumblr media
pairing: non-idol!hoshi x gn!reader
prompt: this post my slightly-drunk ass wrote yesterday while drinking.
word count: 2.5k
warnings: alcohol + food warnings. reader gets drunk and confesses they wanna kiss soonyoung. skinship (a hug + little kisses onto his hand + later cuddling). hoshi gets called tiger playfully and also teased for it. not proofread at all.
daisy’s notes: oh to have a cute man to get giggly drunk with and then get taken care of. also if miso soup is not good for u, i blame my quick research that i spent barely five minutes doing. the title is from a shinee song that you can listen to riiiiiiiight here hehe its basically about falling HARD for someone like... get punched by tht feeling, yknow? literally from one of my fave shinee albums/repackages tbh <3
Tumblr media
Soonyoung was the kind of person who was different when he drank. His friends always would say that he, the same person who was much more extroverted around the people he trusted most, would become at least ten times louder than usual when he had enough alcohol in his system. A little less self-control (enough to keep him from blurting certain things out, though--or maybe that was because his friends had his back, especially Jihoon and Wonwoo), but a lot more fun. Sometimes it got him teased, like when he came home drunk and Jihoon took one-too-many videos of Soonyoung shuffling around the apartment every single time without fail. There was at least one video of him cradling a bag of frozen shrimp to his face, liking how cold it felt until Jihoon finally pulled it away from him with a “see what I put up with?” that was nowhere near as sharp it seemed. At least, it wasn’t for anyone who knew the friendship the two had. Sometimes it also resulted in him trying to press kisses into his friends’ faces, typically ending up rejected (or, in the cases of some of his friends, pushed toward pressing kisses on the back of their hands). He was a very happy drunk, and he knew that. It made him a bit of a handful.
Which is why he felt like he was getting a taste of his own medicine while he was with his friends at Seungcheol’s apartment, not drinking but just having a good time nonetheless. In fact, they’d just been talking about maybe busting out the drinks when he got your call. It was late enough, no one who had work in the morning had to join, things would be fine. But the moment your name popped up on the screen and Seungkwan had caught sight of it, he hushed the entire room and told him to pick up right now.
So he did, turning it onto speaker without thinking when you let out a long, giggly “Soonyoooooung!”
“Hi?” He said. You were... never this giggly.
“Hi!” You said, already cracking up over nothing. “I missed you!”
Soonyoung rose up from his spot on the couch, starting to walk away before the rest of the group could start dogging him over that. He waved them off--no, you had no reason to miss him because you’d just seen him the other day and talked to him that morning. “Are you okay?” He didn’t go too far, the group still attentively listening.
A very long hum sounded out as you mulled over the question, making a show of it. “Yes! Because I’m talking to you.”
Were you... slurring your words? “Are you drunk?”
“No! No! I’m not drunk!”
You were definitely drunk. “Are you at home?”
“Maaaaybe.” You giggled again. “You gonna come get me, tiger?”
Soonyoung immediately took you off speaker when he heard someone--Vernon, maybe--crack up at the way you said that. “Are you home alone? I thought you were going to spend the night with your friends--”
“We did. Online. We played games and had drinks.” You giggled. “Soonie, you should join us next time.” And then you gasped. “Oh my god. We should have game night with your friends!”
Soonyoung took one look at his group of friends and knew that it was a bad idea. “Just stay home, I’m coming over. Do you have water? You need to drink water.”
“I’m fiiiine,” you started giggling again. “You don’t have to come. I’m an adult. I can take care of myself just fine--” And then he heard a soft, “ah, fuck,” as you bumped into something. “I’m fine! I just ran into my chair--”
“Just... sit down until I get there,” he sighed. “Okay? I’ll be there soon.”
“Okie dokiiiie,” you giggled. “My cuuute tiger best friend...”
He hung up before he could hear you say anything else, heat rushing straight to his face. He didn’t know you considered him a best friend--you were definitely more than just a ‘regular’ friend in his opinion, sure, but at least part of that was because he harbored a crush on you. He’d always hold you in high regard. He returned back to his friends, already knowing that they heard half of that conversation.
“I’m gonna go,” he nodded toward the door. “Before they break something.”
“Go get ‘em, tiger!” Joshua called out when he was halfway to the door, loud enough to be heard over the rest of the group wishing him farewell.
The sound of everyone else calling him tiger was the last thing he heard after he had slipped into his shoes and made his way outside to catch a taxi. He was never living that one down. Within the next half hour, Soonyoung had made his way up to your apartment and let himself in--not wanting you to move and potentially bump or fall over something while clearly inebriated. When he walked in, you were curled up on the couch, watching a YouTube video--cats, he thought, but he couldn’t tell without leaning in further. No water bottle nearby, no food--just several empty bottles of alcohol that looked to have been untouched for a while.
“Is this all you had to drink?” He said, counting them off. Definitely enough for you to be this drunk. When you said nothing, he turned  back to see you just... smiling at him.
“Hi, tiger,” you giggled, reaching out for him. “Can I pleaaase have a hug?”
Soonyoung obliged, stepping over and wrapping his arms around you. He used the opportunity to pull you forward until you were sitting up completely, waving a hand in front of your face. The slight delay in your reaction made you bust out into another fit of giggles, hand reaching up to take his own.
“Were you busy?” You asked, suddenly pouting. “I’m sorry.”
“I wasn’t,” he said, taking your face into his hands. “No more drinks tonight.”
“But I’m already out.”
Of course you were. “Did you have a good time?”
You gasped, eyes lighting up as you nodded eagerly despite the way he was cupping your face. “It was really, really fun! We should play with your friends, Soonie!” You giggled, “I know there’s a lot of them so you’d have to take turns, but--but it’d be really fun! Please? I wanna drink with you and your friends and have a really really fun time. We could do karaoke, or...”
“Have you had any water?”
You shook your head. “You told me to sit here until you got here.”
Even though you were drunk, you had a point. “Did you eat?”
You nodded. “I ate dinner first! I’m responsible.”
Cute. He gently pat your head. “I’ll see what I can do, okay?”
Soonyoung wasn’t the best cook, but he could always call one of his friends. He’d made ramen before. He could do it again, and maybe not mess it up by missing an ingredient. He guided you to the bathroom after you loudly voiced your need to go, just to make sure you didn’t bump into anything on the way (you weren’t “newborn deer” bad, but Soonyoung wasn’t taking any chances) before retreating to your kitchen. Was ramen fine for you? But ramen had a lot of calories and sodium...
He called Mingyu. Mingyu had already been drinking, but not enough to be out of it. Miso soup. Something about the water in it and protein and being a light enough food--Soonyoung didn’t listen to the full spiel as he started looking up places that could deliver. He could get water into you in the meantime and maybe get something for dinner since he missed out on chicken with his friends.
Was this retribution for all the times he got drunk and needed his friends to take care of him--which, on a few occasions, included you? Jihoon would probably cackle if he came home and swore off drinking if it meant people had to put up with him when he was like this. You were his friend (slash-crush), sure, and he was more than happy to take care of you during your rare night of drinking... but was he ever worse than this? Barely able to walk and needing attention? He found a place that delivered and put it in as fast as he could, going back to find a glass to get you water.
You came back in, waving him off when he came to make sure you weren’t about to trip over yourself on the way to your dinner table. He sat down across from you, an eye on his phone for any updates on the food.
“Soooonie,” you cooed at him, playing with his fingers. He’d left one hand, palm-up, on the table for you to do so. “You’re so nice to me.”
He just smiled at you. “Of course I am. You’re my friend.”
“Yeah,” you said, “but you’re so good. And cute. Did you know you’re cute? You’re really cute,” you said, already giggling again. You were playing with the bracelet around his wrist now. “You’re sooo cute.”
“I ordered food, by the way.”
You gasped as if that was the best thing you’ve heard all day. “And you’re so nice!” You said, “I knew calling you was a good idea.”
He smiled. “Why did you call me?”
“My friends told me to call my boyfriend to come take care of me,” you said. “I told them I don’t have a boyfriend. I have a boy friend.” You said. “Like. Like two words. You’re my boy friend.”
He was going to die. You were going to be the death of him, weren’t you? “I’m your friend, yeah.”
“And they said “no, no, your boyfriend,” and I said “who?” and they were like... that guy. The one you always talk about. And I was like “oh my god! Soonie!” and so I called you.”
The heat traveled to his face again. “You talk about me?”
“Yuh.” You smiled, taking his free hand in your own. “I like talking about my super cute favorite tiger. You’re so cuuute and nice...” You pressed a little kiss against the back of his hand. “I love you so much.”
“I know,” he said.
“No! No! Not like that!” You whined, now pouting at him. “I don’t love you like that.”
“I know, we’re friends--”
“I wanna kiss youuuu,” you giggled again. “Soonie. Do you wanna kiss me?”
He stared at you. “What?”
“I said,” you leaned in, speaking to him in a stage whisper, “do you wanna kiss me, too? I can keep a secret.”
How drunk were you? Soonyoung reached for the glass of water, gently pushing it into your hands. “Can you drink this for me?”
“Will you answer my question?”
“Yes,” he lied outright. He watched you take a long sip of water, making a complete show of it before carefully setting down the glass. Drunk you was so... giggly and exaggerated compared to sober you. “Let me get you some more--”
You gasped loudly. “You lied to me!”
“I’m getting you more water--”
“Soonyoung,” you whined. “It’s okay if you don’t wanna kiss me... I get it... I’m not your type...”
He sighed, saying your name. “That’s not what I--”
“I know I’m not as cute as a tiger...” You pouted at him. “Is it because I’m not a tiger?”
Oh my god. You were ridiculous. Soonyoung was swearing off alcohol for the next month at the very least. He didn’t need to blab all of this to whoever was closest to him. Someone knocked on the door and Soonyoung gently took your face into his hands.
“I wanna kiss you, but not like this,” he told you, “okay?”
That put the stars back in your eyes. He quickly left you to go answer the door, accepting the food and paying for it--adding a generous tip for the fast service. He could take the slight hit to his bank account. He’d be fine as long as he came back to you. He refilled your water before dolling out the food, breaking apart the set of chopsticks that came with his meal.
“Soonie...”
He looked up, taking a bite of his own food as he waited for you to respond.
“Can I have some?” You’d been staring at his meal, thankfully having already had some of your soup. “Please? I’ll share if you want.”
Oh, the lengths he went to to make you happy. He offered up a piece of broccoli, watching you happily accept it from his chopsticks. He’d give you other things he knew you’d like before telling you to finish your soup first before he gave you anymore. Soon enough, he’d watched you finish off your little bowl and down the water for the second time that night.
“Do you feel better?” He asked you. You nodded, already looking like you’d fall asleep anytime soon.
“I don’t want you to leave,” you said quietly. “I like having you here.”
“I won’t,” he said. “Come on,” he gently pulled you up. “Let’s go to bed, okay?”
You walked on your own, already sobering up little by little considering you were fully aware of needing to brush your teeth. Soonyoung went ahead and cleared off the glass bottles from your coffee table, clearing away the trash from the takeout, before he walked you back to bed. Thankfully you were dressed cozily for your night with friends. You took his hand, gently tugging him over to your bed. He watched you slide over, making room for him.
“Please?” You said. “I wanna cuddle...”
He sighed, obliging as he pulled off his hat and left his belongings on your dresser. Soonyoung slid into bed, letting you snuggle up close to him. Shit. He was going to slip away after you dozed off, but you decided to lay your head on his chest and wrap an arm around him. If he wanted to, he could have pulled away and told you to be mindful of his own space--but... He liked having you close. Jihoon could testify to the way Soonyoung would drape an arm around your shoulders, or let you use his shoulder as a pillow, or the way the two of you cuddled whenever you had movie nights together--the two of you were close. He liked being close to you.
He texted Jihoon that he wouldn’t be home tonight. When Jihoon sent back a single “?” in response, he snapped a picture of where you were asleep with an arm draped across his chest. He joked that he was being held captive. Jihoon pointed out that he could see his smile, you liar--he was happy right where he was.
His last message made his heart sink into his chest: tell them tomorrow.
He would. Soonyoung felt a little weird using your drunk confession as an excuse to confess his own feelings, but... It was hopefully something you said and meant. He wanted to kiss you, too, and more. He wanted to take you on cute dates to restaurants and parks and anywhere you wanted to go. As long as he was with you, Soonyoung would be happy. And laying there, having taken care of you the same way you cared for him when he was sick or drunk, he felt like things were right. Like he belonged right there with you.
He just hoped you felt the same.

Tapped out
Lee! Hanji
Ler! Lee Know
——————————————————————
——————————————————————
——————————————————————
It was a pretty cloudy and sad day. Ussualy, I would stay home, watch a movie or just do nothing. Days like these always keep me down. However, my amazing friends dragged me outside againts my will and convinced me to spend a day like this outside. Even though the sun was hidden behind the clouds, but it didn’t seem like it was going to rain.
I had no idea what we could do outside. I was more of an introverted inside person, rather than a outdoosy golden retriever. “Change is good…” Chan tried to cheer me up with his father-like, “deep” qoutes. Everyone laughed. “Right Han, you need to get your stinky butt out your room!” I sighed. There was no escape. I was stuck with 7 other men that were comvinced to spend the day in our garden.
Even though it seemed something that Chan would come up with, this whole thing was Minho’s idea. That’s right, Chan was thinking about finishing some work today instead of goofing around outside.
Only a few minutes had passed and was already bored. “ Acctually, now that I think about it I had some very important work to do today… Unfortunetly I might have to miss out on this very fun activity” I tried to sound as dissapointing as could. “No you don’t. Just yesterday you said that you’d finish up some extra work to have today free” Minho said with the most mischevious smirk “Aww, how sweet. He wanted to spend the whole day with us…!”
I trusted Minho hyung very much, telling him things I wouldn’t tell anyone. I had been working very hard and just wanted a rest day, that’s why last night I stayed up a little too long to just have a rest day. Of course, I would use the excuse of having “lots of work” to miss out on whatever my bandmates were doing. I don’t mean to say that I hate them, I just wanted some alone time. Which of course I won’t get now…
“This is boring right?” Minho said as he squated down next to me. “YES! Can we go inside and watch a movie please?” “Well, if you were bored you should’ve said so! Let’s play a game.” I groaned.”What game? Football? You know I hate it!” He came closer and whispered in my ear “If you don’t play with us, I swear I will leave you breathless as soon as we go back inside” I knew what he meant. He would tickle me, zero mercy. So I inmeadiately got up and sugested a game myself. “Hey everyone, do you want to play football?” “Football? Sure!” “How unusual pf you, right Jisung? Since you were kind enough to sugest such fun activity, I’ll let you be captain of the first team, I’ll be captain of the second. You can choose first.” I blushed and nodded. “Hmm… I choose… Hyunjin!”
After a little while both teams were ready. However, Minho changed his mind and decided to do hyungs vs maknaes. So, my team was me, Felix, Seungmin and Jeongin. Minhos team consisted of him, Chan, Changbin and Hyunjin. I found it quite unfair, since the players on the hyungs team were quite better than on my team. But, after some convincing and threats (mostly by Minho), I gave in and the game started.
Hyungs vs maknaes wasn’t and uncommon team choice, not only in sports, but also with videogames, washing dishes, making food, cleaning and many other activities. Now, during more competitive stuff, like we were doing right now, our hyungs liked to get playful with punishments. If they were enduring each one of the members aegyo, standing with our back facing them, as each one of them kicked the ball at us and tickling, which was probably the most common.
Each hyung would choose who they want to torture. Now, did the maknaes ever get choose? Rarely. Especially in sports. They always promise to go easy, but that’s never the case and we always lose. Video games are a different story. However, when they do lose, they always somehow bargain their way out of the punishment, and if we do give tgem what they deserve, they always get us back ten times worse. Last time we played with teams like these, the maknae team, obviously lost. And guess who chose me? Minho. I hate love his wreckings. Maybe because he know all my spots, which I told him myself.
Felix was the goalkeeper, Seungmin defended and me and I. N. were the attackers. The opposite’s goalkeeper was Chan, Changbin-defender and Minho and Hyunjin were the attackers. Now, Minho wasn’t the best football player, but he liked pushing and attacking people for the ball that he couldn’t really handle himself.
Of course, we lost the first game. “Now, you know there’s a punishment for the losers~” Minho said. “Let’s do something different, hm? How about you first choose who did best in your whole team” Ussualy, I would be the most useless player of all, but today I gave Minho and the rest of the opposite team a taste of their own medicine by being rougher than ussual, giving me the power that I didn’t know I had. So, upon further discussion (and some bribing), the team chose me.
Perfect. I wanted to paly football for one reason and one reason only — to absolutely wreck Jisung. He had been all jumpy and annoying lately, and intended on spending today all alone. Those were all symptoms of a lee mood, and a pretty severe one. Ussualy, during one of his moods, he would ask me to satisfy it, but that hasn’t been the case. So, I intend on helping him.
Surprisingly, Jisung had done pretty good today, even winning a point or two, which weren’t nearly enough to win. I knew his team would choose him, but that was my plan. I was known for being the number one wrecker of all time, knowing everyone’s spots and only stopping when they were on the verge of death.
“Okay, I see you’ve chosen Jisung. You’ll be the last one to choose” “What, choose what?!” He was angry. Very angry and annoyed. “I.N.-ah, who do wanna be tickled by?” His eyes widened. “Umm… Channie hyung” “Seungmin, you?” “Shit, um Changbin hyung” “An-“ “Don’t even ask, Minho. It’s not you. Hyunjin it is…”
I’ve never seen a smirk so mischievous and unbearable. How can he smile like that, knowing that I’m gonna die? “Looks like you have no choice, Hannie” even though I closed my eyes, I could hear his stupid smile. “Now, we may change our minds if you can win this wrestle match!” Chan yelled. I knew they wouldn’t, but whatever, maybe if I’m more tired I’ll be tickled less. I saw everyone going for the person who they chose, so I ran up to Minho. And let me tell you, he was not prepared. I tackled him by the legs and he fell straight to the ground, I basically got the upper hand immediately. He was easy when jumped by surprised. I was fighting to keep him in place, if he got the upper hand I would be dead.
I tried to keep his body still by squeezing his hips with my thighs and grabbing his wrists. It was hard, but not impossible. He was caught off guard and hadn’t caught up yet, so I could win by being quick. But that obviously didn’t work. He swiftly gripped my wrist as I tried to keep his in place, and squeezed them so hard that I couldn’t even fight back, twisting my body and helplessly laying my head on his chest, begging for him to stop. Minho just laughed and smoothly, in one move, pinned me, crushing my legs with his thighs as having my hands fully pinned. Just like that, I had lost control and was conpletely helpless, laying below him. I hated loved him for that. How he could make me feel so strog yet so weak.
It is quite cute watching him, trying to overpower me. I let him at first, but once I see Jisung starting to get confident, I drop the act and attack for real. I decided to tease him a little, since he wasn’t completely exhausted, by poking his sides and stomach a few times. He twisted violently, but didn’t say anything.
The others were still fighting, trying to overpower eachother. However, I saw Jeongin starting to slowly give up and Chan pinning him with a wide smile. Felix was still fighting, threatening to bite Hyunjin, but immediately quiting when Hyunjin almost actually bit him, hysterically laughing and giving in. Seungmin and Changbin were still in the middle of a fight, with Seungmin winning. I wondered, how Changbin would be capable of punishing him in a position like this.
Han was still pinned beneath me, but much less tired, since I gave him quite some time to rest. I cought him staring at me and smiled. He was just waiting to get wrecked… “I think they lost once again!” Hyunjin shouted. “For sure” Changbin responded, struggling to keep Seungmin pinned under him. “Han said he wanted to go to the bathroom, I’ll keep him company, you can start”
Minho pulled me up by my arm “But I don’t wanna go to the bathroom…” “Oh yes you do, unless you wanna tickles in front of everyone right in our garden” I gulped. Minho knew that I didn’t preferably enjoy being wrecked in front of the rest of our friends. He pulled me into his room and plopped both of us down onto the bed “Arms up” He cassualy said. I hesitated “Don’t you know what that means? Look, like this!” He said, grabbing my wrists and pulling them above my head. “Thought you knew better… Now, I’ll let you choose yourself where to start” I stayed silent. It was far too flustering! How could I answer that. “Well? Too many choices right? You’re too damn ticklish everywhere~”
I had been in my worst lee mood ever the past week and Minho was NOT cooperating. He wasn’t getting any hints and seemed to be completely oblivious. And now, I could get what I wanted. “I’ll choose then, you leave me with no cho-“ “WAIT! Let me tell you something before you start” “Oh what is it?” “Don’t stop if I tell you. Only stop when you want to, ok?” Even Minho himself blushed “Okay, Hannie”
He started off slowly, by lighly squeezing my sides. I started giggling and twisting around immediately. I’ve waiting for this moment for so long, that I felt that i couldn’t take ANY light tickles, I just wanted Minho to wreck the shit out of me. “Minhohohohoho!” “Yehehehes?” did he have to do that? He surely didn’t “ Pleahehehehehehese!” “Please what? Please stop?” oh he definitely knew what he was doing, scratching my sides so lighly “Gohohosh JUST DO IT!” I let out the most flustered scream, but can ypu blame me? If I would’ve waited even the tiniest bit longer I swear the anticipation would’ve killed me already. “Why didn’t you just say so?” He cheerfully said, as he dug his fingers much more harshly “AHAHAHAHAHA LEHEHHEHEHE MINHOHOOHO” The silence was much more flustering. He was like a master, getting every spot that had been oh so hungry for his touch. Until then, I had kept my hands pretty far away from the attacker, but once he dug into my armpits, I couldn’t hold them up any longer. “OHOHOHOHOHOHOH MAHAHAHAHA GAHAHAOOHOHD! GAAHAHAH!” It tickled SO so good, this was exactly the feeling that I had been missing. He vibrated all five of his fingers into my right armpit by holding my right arm above my head. “ANAHAHAHAHAHATHHEHEHER SPOHOHOHOHOT PLEHEHEHEHEASE!” No matter how much I loved it, I knew I couldn’t take much of it in one spot.
I almost felt bad. Han was red, sweaty, teary eyed and hysterically laughing. But then, I remembered that he had BEGGED for me to not stop until I was satisfied (p.s. I was never satisfied) and was going to keep my promise. I was planning to stay on his armpits for a much longer time, but Jisung obviously wanted every single spot to be wrecked. I smiled. He’s just too cute. “Another spot, huh? And we’ve barely even started!” “AHAHAHAHA PLEHEHEHEHEHEHASEE ANOTHEHEHEHER SPOHOHOHT!” I couldn’t refuse when he begged like that, so I switched to counting ribs “One, two, three, fou- Hey! Quit shacking! I lost track of your ribs!” “SOHOHORRY, SOHOHO SOHOHORY!” “Well, I’m gonna have to recount…” His face was so red, I was beginning to get concerned “One, two- Again?! Han Jisung! We’re never finishing with you are we…” I tried to sound as disappointed as I could, but it was genuinely hard with that beutiful smile and angelic laugh of his “COUHAHHAHAHAHAHAHANT AGAHAHAHAIN PLEAHEHEHESE!” He was making me blush with words like these. His hopeless begging just made my stomach swirl. Since both of us were flustered, I decided to take over by showing zero mercy, just how he liked it. I fully extended my fingers and gripped all of his ribs “Ready?” “Nohohoho…!” He giggled in anticipation. And then I dug in, clawing his ribs like crazy. I even had to hold one of his arms down, that’s how bad it was “AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH PLEHEHEHEHSEPLEHEHEASE MIHIHIHIHIHINHOHOO!” I felt confident again, much better than when I was just as red and flustered as the little lee laying right beneath me. With one had clawing his ribs and the other squeezing and poking his abs and belly button, Han’s laughter went silent. Obviously I stopped, I didn’t want him tapping out! Even though he was still fighting back a little, I lightened the tickles to a stop. He giggled a little and caught his breath, but once he landed back on earth, a frown appeared on his face. “I told not to stop, hyung! Tickle me until I pass out! You’ve been an ass, not even satisfying my mood once this whole week. This is payback! Be rougher too.” Never in my life did I think I would hear that — Han Jisung scolding me for not wrecking him. “Oh, so you want zero mercy? Don’t even worry, because all you have to do is provoke me” “Remember when someone turned off the bathroom light while your were showring twice?” “Oh yes I do!” “…That was me.” He said with the most mischievous smirk of all time. Even more mischievous than mine! Believe it! “Oh, this is a much clearer request to be wrecked” I waisted no time as I dug deep into his thighs. And let me tell you, that got the biggest reaction so far. We almost bumped foreheads at how hard he sat up. “Wow, really ticklish here I see?” “YEHEHEHEHEHES,PLEHEHEHEASHHEHEHE DOHOHOHOHOHOHN’T STOHOHOHOP!”
Once I started begging Minho and provoked him, the tickling really started. My thighs are a pretty bad spot, which he of course started his real torture with. I was laughing very hard, but no matter how out of breath or tired I was, I wouldn’t let him stop me. After some more digging into my legs, I wanted him to switch spots. He doesn’t ussualy stay in one spot for long, how come he’s doing it now? Oh and mind you, he’s being extra rough with me now. “MINHOHOHOHOHOHO WAIHAHAHAHAHAHAIT, WAHAHAIT! STOHOHOPJDKA!” I couldn’t even finish my sentence when he dug in so deep and started very quickly pressing his fingers into the inner muscle of my thigh. “AHAHAHAHAHA OHOHOHOH MAHAHA GAHAHAHAHAHAHAH” I started flopping around like a worm, no matter how much I loved it, I couldn’t take it in one spot for long. Once he lighly slowed down, I recovered enough energy to say something that wasn’t just deep belly laughter “WahhahahaHAHait, MINhohoHOHO, StohHOHop foHOhor a minutehe” He seemed a bit worried “W-what is it? Was I too rough? I’m sorry if I was, I-I mean that’s what I thou-“ “No! No it’s totally not that! Why do you stay in one spot only? Switch around! You know I can’t take it when you stay in one spot!” the worried expression on his face melted away almost immediately and got replaced by a flustered blushing one “O-okay…” He suddenly grabbed my calf and started squeezing the top of my knee. And I lost it “GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MINHOHOHOHOHOHOHO AHAHAHAHA” This was the best one yet.
At this point, it was starting to get annoying. I was the ler, yet he kept on flustering me, I felt like a such a child! His knees are possibly one of his worst spots, which I am wrecking right now. This gives the best reaction so far. He bucks his hips side to side, trying to control his movements as best as possible. I started squtching between squeezing the bottom and top of his kneecaps, just how he asked me. Even though it feels kind of weird, tickling him per his request, but I just want to see him happy. I’m sure everyone is done with the punishment now, but Han doesn’t seem to want this to stop. Not yet. Jisung had begged to be wrecked until he he tapped out. But could he handle it? I decided to test it out, as that is something I’ve never done. “Hannie, are you sure you want to be tickled until you pass out?” I’m not even sure how any sentence could be processed in the state he is right now “YEHEHEHEHEHHES YOU AHAHAHAHASSHOHOHOLE DOHOHOHONT EVEHEHEHN AHAHASK ANYMOHOHORE!” No matter how much he begged, I just couldn’t be sure. Jisung was completely red, wet from his own sweat and tears and seemed to be exhausted. I switched back to his upper body, sticking my arms into his armspits once again “PLEHEHEASHEHEHAHEHEHSE! MINHOHOHOHOHOHO!” by now I would’ve completely stopped, but was afraid to get scolded by a red and sweaty Han again. With one hand stuck in between his arm and side and another rubbing my knuckles into his ribs, I knew he would pass out any moment now. “AHAHAHAHAHAHA MINHOHOH HHYUHUHUhuhuhung” his laughter went silent, almost too silent. Then, I looked up to his face. Oh. my. God. I could not believe what I had just done. I loved punishing people with tickles, but never this far! I almost felt guilty, but then remembered how desperately he begged for this.
“Ummm… What is going in here?” Chan slowly walked inside the room. “Oh my! Is he dead? Did you kill him?! I swear Lee Minho…” “NO! No its not like that!” “Then what is it like?! Because all I see is a lifeless Han, laying in your bed!” “I don’t know if I should say this… It’s actually a secret of his.” “Just tell me, I promise I won’t tell anyone. I’m just worried for my child!” “He wanted this” “What?” “He wanted this.” “Wanted what? To die?” “No, idiot! He wanted to be tickled until he passes out!” “Oh… That is-“ “I know, it’s weird! But he loves it, ok? I just wanted to give him what he-“ “That is cute. Like, actually! He likes it? I mean, I kind of could tell…”
I woke up to loud yelling and rambling. As I oppened my eyes, exhaustion hit me. Then I remebered why I was tired, hell, why was I even passed out. And then a smile crept onto my face. I remember perfectly why: because Minho wrecked so hard and the best part — I asked him to do it. “Look, he’s awake! Hey Hannie, is it true that you love tickles~?” My eyes widened in shock “N-n-no, I hate it! Minho, did you say anything?!” Minho had a panicked expression on his face “It wasn’t my fault! He asked why you were passed out!” I closed my eyes and groaned in embarrassment “You are the cutest Hannie!~~” Chan said as he jumped on me and hugged me “Eww! You’re so smelly and disgusting! Why are so sweaty and wet?!” A pink blush spread across my face and I covered it with my hands. “Please stop! I’m tired! Didn’t Minho tell you anything?” “Oh, right, you must be exhausted from your private tickle session~~” “SHUT UPPP!” “Okay, okay I’m leaving…” Channie left with the most dimply smile ever. “Now, mr. Lee we must have a talk…” “I thought you were the lee~” “Yah! Enough teasing now! Why did you tel him that~ It’s so embarrassing!~” “ It’s really not a big deal! He promised he wouldn’t tell anyone, so don’t even worry-“ “HAN JISUNG DO YOU REALLY LIKE TICKLES?!?!?!”
“Yeah, he promised to not tell…”

44 & 6 with Val and Coyote
pairing: Javy "Coyote" Machado x Valeria Bates-Machado prompts: 44. “I think I’m dying.” & 6. “Stop being so dramatic.  You’re not dying.” prompts list Coyote & Val Masterlist
Tumblr media
For as long as Val could remember, she dreaded cold and flu season. It might be because the hospital was always packed full of sick people. She always put in overtime during the height of the sickness season, coming home looking like a walking zombie. Javy was always the best during this time, making sure the kids were in bed, laundry was caught up on, chores were done, and a plate of food was in the microwave with her name on it.
The only thing Javy wasn't good at, was being sick.
Val should've known that when she heard the first sniffle from him in the middle of the night, he was going to go into full princess mode the very next morning. "The Man Flu" as they called in the hospital, was probably the most annoying illness Valeria Bates has ever had to deal with.
"Baby," Javy groaned, rolling on to his back and reaching out for his wife.
Val rolled her eyes, "Yes, my love?"
"I'm sick," He whined, and stuck his bottom lip out.
"Oh no, my poor baby," Val said, sitting up in bed and placing the back of her hand on his forehead. He did feel a tad warm to her, and he sounded kind of congested. She sighed and looked over at her alarm clock which read '5:45 AM'. The kids would be up soon, "Stay here. I'll get the kids ready for school."
"No baby, I got it," Javy said, pushing himself up from the blankets, but broke out in a fit of coughs, "Actually, I don't think I can."
"Ya, poor thing," Val said, "Stay put. I'll check on you once the kids are out."
Coyote nodded as he grabbed the blanket and pulled it up under his chin, cuddling into the warmth. Val shook her head as she walked down the hallway to go wake up her youngest, Carter and get him ready for preschool. Both Jennah and Elena were old enough to get themselves out of bed and dressed, but Val still oversaw their morning routine. She spent time putting their hair into pigtails and fixing their lunch boxes. She walked them to the bus stop and hugged them goodbye and watched as the bus faded out of view.
"Time to check on my patient," Val said and walked back into the house. Somehow, Coyote made it from their bedroom to the living room and was lazily playing video games at 7:30 in the morning, "You must not be that sick if you can play COD with Jake."
Coyote looked at his wife, and started coughing again, "I think I'm dying, baby."
“Stop being so dramatic. You’re not dying," Val said, "You have the damn Man Flu. Dragon said Rooster had it last week, and Y/N said Jake was down for the counter yesterday. You need rest," She walked over and snatched the controller from him, which caused him to protest, "and fluids. Now get your cute ass upstairs to bed Javier Machado."
Javy smirked at his wife, "Ma'am yes, ma'am," He said and wrapped his fuzzy blanket around him before climbing back up the stairs.
For the rest of the day, Val spent by Coyote's side because he swore he was dying. She brought him breakfast in bed, made him his grandma's homemade chicken noodle soup for lunch, rubbed his feet for him, and even let him play an hour of video games with Jake.
"Ya know, sometimes, I swear you are more dramatic than our children," Val said, running her hands through his hair.
"I think I am dramatic enough," Coyote scoffed, "And I really thought I was dying. I keep coughing and my back hurts from it." Coyote looked up at his wife, "At least I have you here, nursing me back to health."
"Mhm," She agreed and leaned down to kiss him, "Thank god I'm not this dramatic when I'm sick."
"Sure you aren't."
--- --- ---
three days later, Javy woke up to his wife turning over in her sleep and wrapping her arms around his body. She felt warm to the touch and Coyote gently nudged her awake.
"Baby, you feel warm," He whispered, brushing her hair away from her face.
"I think I'm dying," She mumbled.
Javy couldn't help but laugh, and placed a kiss on her forehead, "Look who had the 'man flu' now."

I noticed requests are open and I got an adorable idea yesterday!
Chiaki x Mikan (Nanamiki) domestic hcs about how they both react to the other one coming back from school/work!
I think itd be quite adorable
Nanamiki domestic hcs
type: non-despair au
a/n: this ask got me crying in the club /pos for some reason I keep thinking Mikan is really tall like 5'10" but she's literally shorter than me
⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡
chiaki nanami
when chiaki is not at school, she's at home... a lot
as expected of the ultimate gamer she plays video games all day
unless she needs food she'll have a snack
let's be real this girl doesn't know how to cook anything other than instant noodles
so mikan cooks for the both of them
when mikan is busy working at the hospital chiaki is left to starve (and also a little lonely)
mikan usually gets back from work very late and poor chiaki can barely stay up long enough to see her partner
mikan will usually come home and see chiaki passed out on the sofa with a game still playing in her hand
but not today!
chiaki had chugged so many energy drinks to stay up, she had been training herself to stay awake!
she hears the front door opening and sluggishly goes to the hallway
"hey hey, player 2" chiaki says to mikan, who is literally shocked that chiaki is even awake
"c-chiaki?! what.. what are you doing... a-awake?" the other girl would ask.
chiaki stands there for awhile, thinking. then she shrugs. "just wanted to see you... I guess."
mikan immediately bawled her eyes out at chiaki's feet
the nurse couldn't believe her beloved waited for her!
after like 10 minutes of chiaki calming mikan down, the gamer suggested they could have dinner
of course, mikan agrees and whisks herself to the kitchen to start dinner
chiaki yawns, rubbing her eyes as she silently watches mikan totter around the kitchen
chiaki's hands felt empty when she wasn't holding a controller or a handheld device
she walks up behind mikan and wraps her arms around her waist, resting her head between the nurse's shoulders
mikan tries not to move too frantically after that
as she finishes with a simple meal for dinner, she hears snores
chiaki fell asleep, standing up against mikan's back
but she was happy that she could see her player 2 come home
mikan tsumiki
during school time, mikan is usually home earlier than chiaki, as chiaki is a class representative and also takes part in clubs
mikan... does not take part in clubs, despite chiaki lightly encouraging her
to say that mikan is lonely at home would be an understatement
when she doesn't have any form of housework to do, she curls up in the middle of the bed with a pillow clutched to her chest
she misses her beloved chiaki a lot and can't seem to take her mind off of her
sometime in the afternoon mikan hears the front door click open
she is sprinting down the stairs, tripping on the last step
thankfully chiaki catches her with her fast gaming reflexes
mikan is bawling... again
"c-chiakiiii! I m-missed you!" mikan cried in chiaki's chest who looked both confused and mildly concerned.
"uhm... it's okay, mikan... I think... I'm home now..."
"hey... want to play a video game with me?" chiaki suggested, unsurprisingly.
mikan agreed to play a game with chiaki, it was the many ways they hung out together
during their first stages of their relationship, mikan was too paranoid of playing video games with chiaki, because she didn't want to make a fool of herself
however chiaki gently persisted and assured mikan that losing or making mistakes in games is fine, even chiaki makes mistakes
okay she makes mistakes on purpose to make mikan feel better
the two sat down on the sofa together where they cuddled up and shared a blanket
they play minecraft together on their switches
mikan has a pink switch whilst chiaki has an limited one-of-a-kind edition switch
they play on peaceful mode and build to their heart's content
mikan giggled playfully, muttering creative build ideas that they could do together to chiaki who agreed wholeheartedly
mikan feels warm and safer than ever now that her beloved chiaki was back home
they spent hours shoulder-to-shoulder laying on the sofa playing comfy games
until they both fell asleep in each other's arms ⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡ -Mod Kirumi

Sam is supposed to go on a Yankees game. Logic is 8th May because of filming in "Couple" 10th and could be some more day. He seems no to attend this year Gentelmen´s ride. Filmning "Couple, again in May. So like 12th May to 22nd May he has free time? Meet someone somewhere?
OMG Anon, since when became speculation and somebody posting what a 'source' said a fact!?!
Let me put out a quick timeline here what we know and saw, and what is speculation.
Fact: He went to Miami to celebrate his b-day with his friends and a box full of his gin at the Setai and on a boat trip, Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 April. (videos and pics)
Fact: He turned up in NYC on Tuesday 2 May, doing a papwalk buying his pressed juice and Ibuprofen to get rid of his hangover and sweating his booze out on the podcast with the Chicks in the Office. (podcast and pics)
Fact: Wednesday 3 May, press day with Priyanka at the Crosby Hotel, screening and after party in the evening with his team (Kara and Melissa).
Tumblr media
Fact: Thursday 4 May GMA, more press with Priyanka at the hotel, WWHL in the evening, still hanging out with his team.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fact: Friday 5 May, solo promo, most likely for his gin pointing out on a Scotland map the places of the ingredients for his wildest gin. Which wont be available in the country of origin before next year. (fan video and fan pics)
Fact: Saturday 6 may, he's finally time to catch up on sm, scrolling, posting, liking and commenting since 8am this morning and during the rest of day so far (ET timezone)
Speculation: When is he due to fly back to be on set, calls for extras learned us there's filming going on in Eindhoven since yesterday (fact) and calls for extras for 10, 11 and 12 May (facts). But we don't know who will be involved and needed on the set. It's likely S needs to be there but that is not a fact. Also, a day without a call for extras doesn't mean they're not filming and doesn't mean he isn't needed on set. Because the next calls for extras are on 22, 24 and 25 may doesn't mean there's no filming in between 12 and 22 May. For what we know they could be back filming in Leeds again (speculation or example of 'we don't know').
The only logic for the Yankees game is that we know the Yankees are playing home in NYC on Monday. It's not a fact that he is 'supposed' to be at a Yankee game, it's what someone told, but hasn't been proven a fact (yet).
And no, as good as a fact, he wont attend the DGR this year, he didn't sign up.
I don't know why you want to meet someone somewhere so urgently. I got some more in my mailbox, bringing up ancient women he was associated with...maybe trying to be funny... but fact: he's working, there's no time for that 🙄

Why is Joey's ankle sprain the worst case scenario? Week to week is good I thought
typically, w/ athletes that require a lot of ankle movement (basketball is where i saw most of my ankle injuries) week to week is a good sign. and if we can trust what leafs pr staff are saying (which, if you know me... I Do Not), then his sprain isn't worse than a grade two.
skates are designed the way they're designed for a reason. ankle support is a necessity so you can skate safely. that's why if you watch this video, OP is getting their shit rocked in the comments for wrapping their laces around their ankle - it creates the illusion of stability while actually destroying the integrity of the boot & setting them up for injury.
i have concerns that ayotte and bean and theodoropolous are going to either sign off on him getting back to on-ice activities too early - not even playing just fucking practice - or that woller himself will push too hard the second he's cleared out of a misplaced sense of obligation and he's going to resprain and it will be worse.
if you don't know, high ankle sprains are much worse than your average "i stepped down off the curb and fucked my foot up". high ankle sprains have an at minimum six to eight week heal time, often with the demand of no weight and zero movement for the first two. it can cause a rotational or shearing fracture at the end of the tibia/fibula where the ligaments insert, which was why he got the MRI yesterday. they had to know what they were working with to make sure he wasn't out for the season vs just out "week to week" (it's going to end up being at least a month. prepare for two.) they also sometimes require surgery and plating if there is a fracture involved, mostly because of where the break is. they have to make sure the bones of your leg stay where they're supposed to be.
because there isn't a lot of blood supply to ligament tissue, it's really hard for ligaments to heal. and because i don't have access to woller's mri results or ayotte's/bean's/theodoropolous' brains, i have no idea what they're planning on doing for a rest and rehab plan, if there's an incomplete tear, if it's grade one or grade two. i could keep going.
back to the ankle support skates thing - woller isn't skating miles every single night, but much of his job relies on his flexibility, ability to change direction quickly, ability to quite literally fold in on himself at a moment's notice. his ankles have to be stable AND flexible. that is not possible with any amount of leftover inflammation or injury.
woller is the entire leafs team. as much as i love willy and mo and mitch and everyone else. woller is the entire leafs team. keefe knows this. keefe is not a doctor. keefe has pushed them to the point of exhaustion a couple times this season. the only reason practice was cancelled after mo's 35+ minute game was because he literally could not get out of bed the next day. i don't know if i trust keefe's judgement when woller does come back. i just... i don't have a good feeling about it.
once you fuck up a joint, especially the ankle, especially where woller hurt his, it's fucked up for the rest of your life. he is very likely to do this again at least twice. maybe not during his career. maybe when he's retired. maybe during an offseason. but again - you guys see the shit he does in the net. he acts like he doesn't have any fucking bones. he runs around like he's a puppet on strings. like he's a fucking video game character. he does not treat his body kindly when he plays. i don't know what he does to cool down or warm up or whatever, but he treats his body poorly during games. this was inevitable. and i am scared for what happens during his recovery.
i do not give a fuck if we end this season 32 in the league. i do not care if we use marlies goalies for the rest of the season. all i need is leafs staff to listen to me when i tell them to let joseph woll recover at home for as long as he needs for his ankle to be at 100%, because if they don't, it will not be good for him.

Tell Me...
Tumblr media
READ THE REST ON WATTPAD @ VANNAHMONTANNAH
It's 2:30 pm and I have one more hour left of my shift. I'm almost done stocking the shelves and then I should be good to go. Yesterday, Lyric and I made pizza and lemonade from scratch. Of course, she made the lemonade, I had no idea what I was doing. We sat and watched a couple of movies, and she eventually went home. 
I think Lyric has a crush on me...she hasn't said anything yet. I noticed it a while back when I first started work here. It was about a month into my job that we started to communicate and hang out during breaks. She invited me out to this arcade themed bar downtown and said it'd be here for a couple of her friends. Her friends never came, so it was just me...I don't even think she invited them to be honest. 
~~~~~ 
"Hey, you made it!" She said, giving me a small hug. 
"Yeah. I told you I'd come. What ya got going on?" 
"Oh, uh...it's just us today. My girls were...busy," she said, shrugging her shoulders. 
"Okay. Did you order anything?" 
"Not yet. I was waiting for you. Come on. I had a cheeseburger and a Bloody Mary. I haven't eaten all day today," 
She grabbed my wrist and led me to the bar, and we sat on the barstools. 
"What do you want?" She asked. 
"I'll get the same thing you have," 
"Okay cool," 
It was my first time out with a co-worker before, so I was nervous. First off, she was beautiful, so I didn't wanna embarrass myself. Two, I'm really a homebody, so I don't really go out like that unless needed. Three, it's like a date. 
"Hey, I'm Jada. What can I get for you folks today?" 
"We are going to have the same thing. We'll have two Bloody Mary's and a cheeseburger with some fries, but put cheese on mine, please?" 
"You got it? Anything else?" 
"Anything else, Cory?" She asked. 
"Nah, I'm good, thank you," 
"Alright. It takes about 10 minutes for the food. I'll be back shortly with your drinks, okay?" 
"Okay, thank you," 
"I have never been in here before," I said, looking around the building. There were table games, arcade games, big screen televisions, a big connect four game, and a pool game in the back. There was even a picture booth. 
"So... what you do outside of work?" She asks. 
"I play video games. I'm a gamer on YouTube," 
"Really? I love watching gameplays! What's your channel?" She pulled out her phone and went straight to YouTube. 
"It's Samurai Ken. I have 5k," 
"Okay...is this you?" She gave me her phone and pointed to the channel. 
"Yeah, that's me," 
"Okay. I will make sure to watch your content. Watching gameplays helps me with my stress! And it encourages me to go and get the game," 
"Yeah, same for me. Plus, it's fun entertaining my audience. I've been doing it for a couple of years now and people take a liking towards me," 
"Oh okay! I'll watch you when I get home," 
"Thank you for your support. What do you do outside of work?" 
"I take care of my brother. He's sick right now and we're hoping he gets better. Besides that, I like to write music and do acrobatics. Been doing that since I was a kid," 
"Okay, here are your drinks. Your food should be out soon," the worker said as she placed our drinks down in front of us. 
"Thank you," she said. 
"Thanks," 
"These are really good. I'm supposed to be vegan, but that ain't go so well," 
"I know that's not gonna go well for me either," I said, taking a sip out of my drink. 
"So, uh...you have a girlfriend?" 
"No," 
"A boyfriend? Wife? Husband?" 
"Oh, no! No, I don't!" 
"I'm just asking. Must ask these days," 
"Oh, well, no men for me and I am not married. Are you single?" 
"Yes, I am. It's been a cool ride so far, but I'm hoping to change that soon. I just gotta see what the future holds," 
"Same for me. Hopefully, I'm married by 40," 
"Me too. I'm 32 right now and already going into a midlife crisis," 
"Okay! I have your food. Here is yours with your cheese fries, and here is yours? You folks can feel free to sit at the tables if you'd like," 
"Okay, thank you so much," 
We grabbed our plates and headed to a table close by the window. She had on these baggy pants and an oversized shirt, but it was tied up in the back. Her hair was in a ponytail. She had French tip nails, jewelry on, and some black platform converse shoes. 
"I like your hair..." 
"Me?" 
"Who else?" She giggled. 
"Oh. Thank you. I didn't really do much with it," 
"It looks good," 
Mm, she's just not saying that for no reason. My hair is in my usual afro, but it's not the neatest right now. Hmm. 
"How old are you?" She asks, eating her fries. 
"I'm 29. Thirty this year," 
"What day?" 
"November 7th," 
"No way! Mine is November 8th!" 
"Oh, my goodness! For real?" 
"Yeah! Scorpio twins! Cheers?" 
"Yeah," 
We made a toast to bring "Scorpio Twins' '. The rest of the night went by, and I had a nice time with Lyric. It wasn't awkward or weird...it was fun. Since then, we've been close from the beginning. We'd hang out, disappear on breaks, call each other, send each other Tik Tok and just get a vibe from each other. 
~~~~~~ 
Right now, I'm on my way to a gaming party. My friend, Mark, is hosting it. Des from work is gonna be there too. I haven't been to one of these in a couple months just because I've been busy and stuff. I made sure to feed Samson and take him out to do his business before I left. 
I hopped in the car and jammed out to some of my favorite songs while pulling up. I'm not sure what games we'll play, but imma find out when I get there. I had on a white graphic tee, some black Nike shoes, black jeans, and a black jacket. I had my cross necklace on because God is good, and my earring. I had a couple wrist bands too. 
The party was taking place in this venue on the second floor. I parked my car and prepared myself to mingle and whoop some people in these games. I got a text from Des asking if I'm here yet. I texted back that I'm walking in the building. 
Walking in the building, there was a lobby with couches, a fountain, a front desk, a food place, and a fireplace. I noticed a group of girls sitting at a table talking. One girl stood out to me. She had on this Jean outfit, a heart purse, long black hair, and long pink nails. She's dark skin, plump lips, a pretty face, and a nice curvy body. She glanced at me and waved. I nodded my head and smiled. 
I walked to the elevator and pressed for the second floor. I was a bit nervous though and I don't know why I haven't been to one of these before. Well, I have only ever been to two. I missed it like 3. The elevator doors opened, and the floor was filled with people, music, games, food, drinks. There were about a good 50 people here. Not a lot but still a lot. I headed into the crowd admiring how the place looked. I saw Pac-Man arcade games, I saw people playing Apex, COD, a few new games that were out—I even saw Roblox! The PS4's and PS5's were out tonight! People were playing Nintendo switches and I saw a couple of Xbox 1's. The food was being catered. They had seafood, regular food, stuff like that. 
"Aye, aye, aye! Get that shit man! Goddamnit! I almost had that shit for real!" Mark yelled. 
"Dude calm down," I said, walking up to him. 
"Aye, my nigga Cory in the building!" He shouted, dapping me up. "Haven't seen you in a minute! Where the hell have you been at?" 
"I've been working. I've been busy," 
"Probably trynna avoid this work. I get it," 
"Mark, I will literally crush you in this for real," 
"Talking all this shit! Come on, let me see what you got!" He said, passing me the controller. 
(Let's just pretend it's a made-up game lol) 
Me and Mark were neck and neck in this game, and it kept being a tie. But this was the last official round. We were both at 28 kills, we needed to get 30 and we won. For the last round, I was focused. No distractions! The round started...I began to get headshots on any opponent I saw. I was at 28...Mark was at 29. 
"Mark, you got this! Come on baby!" His friend shouted. 
"Cory, come on! Let's go!" Des shouted. 
I was now 29, tied with Mark. It was time for us to try and find each other and kill whoever was found first. 
"Cory, you might as well give up. I'm on yo ass," Mark said. 
"Nah. We don't give up over here," 
"Dude, it's only a matter of time before I find you," 
"Oh really?" 
"Yes! Yes, nigga!" 
"I wouldn't say that if I were you. I'm there," 
"I gotcho ass now!" Mark yelled. 
He shot at me, but I ducked, the crowd went crazy. I did my lil roll over and aimed for the head, and boom! Mark was dead! The crowd went wild! 
"WHAT?" Mark yelled. 
"Who's the loser now?" 
"Aw nah we gotta run that back!" 
"Nah, I won fair and square," 
"What's all this noise about?" A girl's voice said. 
I turned around and it was the girl from the lobby. 
"Cory just whooped my ass. I'll give him that," 
"Cuz I'm the goat," 
"We got to ass next game though," Jasper said. 
"Aw whatever," 
"What you doing up here anyway?" Mark asked. 
"I came up here for them sweet honey chicken wings. Is it anymore?" 
"Probably. Aye, this is my dude, Cory. Cory, this is my cousin, Tahjay," 
"Hey, nice to meet you. I saw you come in," 
"I know," 
"Yeah, I don't really bring it here anywhere for real. She wanna be with her girls and shit. And the one time I do bring her along, she wanna bring her girls and be downstairs," Mark said, rolling his eyes. 
"Relax, nigga, I said imma be up here. I'm up here now," 
"Well since you up here, how about you and Cory playing this game. You need 30 kills to win," Mark said, giving her a controller. 
"She plays video games?" I asked. 
"Yes, I do. Now let's go," she said, walking to the couch. 
"Boy, you betta get yo ass on that couch and give her the same energy I did," Mark demanded. 
"This easy work," 
I grabbed a controller and sat by Tahjay. First, how is she going to play with them long nails? 
"How you gone play with them long nails?" 
"The same way I be beating Mark in his games," 
"Lies!" Mark yelled. 
"Alright, come on! Cory you ready?" Jasper asked. 
"Yeah," 
"Jay, you ready?" 
"Always," 
The game started and it was going pretty smoothly. I had 10 kills and she had 7. Her girls were cheering her on and my boys had my back. But...she got ahead of me. 
"Cory! She about to win!" Des shouted. 
Tahjay had 27 kills and I had 16. Freak! I was nowhere near her. We were in the last round this time. I was 20 and she was 28. I was getting nervous...am I getting beat by a girl? She was trynna find me and get me, but I was trynna hide low key. 
"Where you at, nigga?" She spoke. 
"Don't worry about it," 
"Imma just find you on the radar," 
"And you'll be the one to go first. I was now at 24 and she still hasn't gotten too thirsty yet," 
"I see you getting up there," 
"I am," 
"Come on Jay! Kill him!" Her homegirl cheered. 
She found me and I was done for. She put like 16 bullets in my body. 
"Goddamn!" Mark said. 
"She wasn't playin’..." Des said. 
"Not new to this, but true to this," she said, placing the controller on the couch. 
"Yes! That's my girl!" Her homegirls cheered. 
I sat there in pure distraught. I was taken aback from what just happened. She really defeated me. 
"Cory, you good?" Des asked. 
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm good," 
"Oh, he'll be okay. Come get a drink with me," Tahjay said. 
"Me?" Des asked. 
"No, Cory," 
I looked back and gave her a confused look. 
"Come on and get a drink with me," she said, pointing to the kitchen. 
"Okay..." 
I got up and followed her and her girls to the kitchen. The boys took over and played other games. She got her chicken and got this pineapple drink. I just grabbed a juice. Don't judge. We sat at the barstools, and she flipped her hair back. 
"I haven't seen you around," she said. 
"Oh. I haven't been here in a while. I've been busy," 
"What do you do?" 
"I do YouTube and I work at a Kroger's," 
"You play games on there?" 
"Yeah. I have 10k subscribers so far. Trynna get more to tune in," 
"I can help you with that," she said, taking a bite of her chicken. 
"Really?" 
"Yeah. I got 1 million. We can play games together and shit. That is if you're okay with that," 
"Yeah. I'm totally fine with it," 
"Cool. What's your Instagram?" 
We exchanged social media and continued to chit chat for a bit. She's been playing games for 7 years and has built a passionate fan base. I've only been playing for 4 years. She enjoys playing Sims and she has the gameplays on her channel. She adds mods to her games, she plays the basic game, she does free builds and all of that. She'll play other games here and there, but her audience is through Sims. 
"So, you gotta girlfriend?" 
"No, I'm single. You?" 
"Single. I just left that nigga. You ain't bout to cheat on me in my mother fucking house especially when you have yo own!" 
"That's some foul stuff," 
"It was. That was very disrespectful," 
"A couple years ago, my girlfriend left me. Something about me playing games was childish to her," 
"She's a lame ass hoe then," 
"I guess," I chuckled. 
"You cool. I like you. What's yo number?" 
"313-415-6862" 
"Okay. I just sent you a text. That's me. My name is Tahjay, but you can call me Jay," 
"Cool...I like that name," 
"Thank you," 
"I didn't know you and Mark were cousins," 
"It's cool. A lot of people didn't. But me and Mark are super close. He's just...loud," 
"Oh yes he is," 
"Nigga! What the fuck is you doing? Man, move! Move over!" Mark yelled. 
"See what I mean?" 
"Yes," 
"Jay, we are about to go to Summer house. You coming?" Her friend asked. 
"Yeah. What we doing over there?" 
"We just chilling', having a couple drinks, doing what girls do," 
"Okay, I'll meet ya downstairs," 
"Okay," 
"Well, I'm about to go. Feel free to talk to me and shit. And are you free tomorrow on Saturday?" 
"No, I have planned that morning and me and my friend are headed back here later that night," 
"Okay. Well, how about Sunday?" 
"Yeah," 
"Okay, cool. Imma text you later, okay?" 
"Yeah," 
"Okay. See you later, Cory," 
"See you later," An attractive girl that plays games and wants to link up and network? Could my night get any better?

So I ultimately decided Tix was right that I was charging ahead too fast (we had a nice chat about it and a bunch of other stuff last night when I stopped by at @koffing-time, and I have a much greater respect for Striaton Gym now. Sorry, Olivia!), so today was a break day! I decided I’d try and end the day back home in Nimbasa if I could, but the when and how weren’t so important. And seeing as yesterday’s break was mostly for me (sleeping in, Nacrene Museum, and having some excellent cafe treats), today was for the team! And HOO BOY do I have pics and video to share. First up, Ozone had so much fun running the Skyarrow yesterday that I just HAD to give him another go at it and run him through some drills
[A video taken on Skyarrow Bridge. Ozone is in a ready stance off in the distance, the camera trained on him. Storm, off-camera, waits for a beat before whistling and calling out for him. The Zebstrika is off in an instant, barreling down the bridge towards the trainer. Within moments, he’s flying past the camera, hooffalls slowing as Storm brings it around to catch Ozone turning around and plodding back to receive a couple poffins pulled from a baggie. After a few pats on the face and a “good boy~” the video ends]
We also did some more riding practice on the way back to Castelia, where Lux got to play at the docks again. Didn’t film that seeing as I just got footage of him at the docks a couple days ago, but that did let me play some games with him! It’s much more enriching and safe if I’ve got an activity planned to hold his focus, after all. I did, however, take the time to meet up with a few of Burgh’s gym trainers. Bugs aren’t my forte and I wanted some advice, so we talked about that over lunch and Beanie got to play with some Pokémon more her size
[A pair of pictures, both in Castelia. The first is a selfie with Storm and a few other people, all still done up as clowns, in an outdoor eating area. Presumably this is the gym trainers’ lunch break, based on the position of the sun. Storm, meanwhile, has dressed as not to be totally outdone. He’s done his makeup in bright colors today, with a pink/yellow/blue motif and nails to match. Her earring choice for the day is a pair of dangly lightning bolts, which stand out nicely against his dark hair. The last of the outfit in frame is a bright blue scarf around his neck and a similarly bright floral (matching the color scheme no less) under a black leather jacket. The second picture is an assortment of very small bug types gathered in a backroom of the Castelia Gym, in the midst of playing. Beanie’s playmates include a Cutiefly, another Joltik, a couple Burmy, and the largest among them, a Dwebble and a Durant]
After that, I secured myself as best I could and made the trek back through route 4. I considered a detour over to the resort, but decided it wasn’t worth the effort, because I still had to give Nimbus and Dymie their attention back in Nimbasa (though I let them lead my battles along the way). And check it out!
[A picture of Dymie! Nimbus is underneath the Magneton, nuzzling against it as its eyes remain fixed on the camera. It isn’t aiming its magnets at the device, though, and appears to be tolerating the situation well enough. Nimbus, for her part, doesn’t seem to care about the camera in the slightest, entirely fixated on her wary teammate. She seems a tad floofier than usual, perhaps from rubbing against her fellow electric type. The setting itself appears to be Storm’s home]
This isn’t perfect progress or anything, I still can’t take pictures of Dymie solo, but I remembered I have something of a silver bullet. Nimbus is pretty good with soothing my team, and after giving it a little time to adjust to my place, the low-stimulation environment seemed to have helped Dymie a lot! I dunno what it is about Nimbus that’s so calming, but definitely feel it too when we cuddle. Speaking of! I’m just spending the rest of the day at home with the team, because we’ve all had a busy past couple days. Clay’s gym can be a worry for future Storm

15 QUESTIONS FOR 15 FRIENDS

ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
First name, no. But my middle name is my Oma's name. I used to not like it growing up because it's a very German name that no one knew how to pronounce or spell, but now that I'm older I like that it's more unique!
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
Yesterday when I saw that clip of John Stewart talking about his dog that recently passed. AND THEN I made the mistake of reading the comments and seeing all these other people talk about their deceased dogs. 😭😭😭
DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Nope! I used to think that I would want them, but now that I work with kids I know I'm not cut out to be a parent lol. I love kids and working with them is so rewarding, but I also love that I get to go home to a quiet house at the end of the day!
WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED?
None, lol. The closest I've ever come to liking sports on any level is watching sports anime.
DO YOU USE SARCASM?
Occasionally, but not that often.
WHAT'S YOUR EYE COLOUR?
A very light blue; almost grey. Fun fact, before I started wearing glasses I got asked, like, at least once a month whether they were contacts because no one could believe that was my real eye colour.
SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
I'm a big ass wimp so I have to go with happy endings. I like a good drama/tragedy as well, but man I cannot handle scary things.
ANY TALENTS?
Hmm, I guess writing and storytelling. I would say I'm pretty creative. I'm also pretty good at logic puzzles and games where you have to suss things out.
WHERE WERE YOU BORN?
Canada and that's still where I live!
WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?
Reading's a pretty big one. Cuddling up with a good book and a cup of tea makes for a heavenly afternoon. I'm also very much a board game person and occasionally a video game person as well. Also, I don't know if it counts as a hobby but I do go to multiple ones a year so I suppose it should, I'm a big fan of anime/comic cons!
DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?
YES!!! I have three dogs and they are the lights of my life. Diddy (short for Didymus, named after the Labyrinth character) is almost fourteen and he is my special little baby. He's a Shih Tzu and he's sassy and kinda stubborn but he's also incredibly affectionate. Charlie is a nearly thirteen year old Chinese Crest/Pomeranian mix and he's a walking ball of anxiety but also a very sweet and gentle boy. Ollie is my newest baby at only six months old and he's a Border Collie/Great Pyrenees mix. He's a puppy so he's very rambunctious and playful, but he's also so so smart.
HOW TALL ARE YOU?
5'9''
FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL?
English Lit, a subject I loved so much I got a whole ass degree in it!
DREAM JOB?
I honestly think it's my current job? I've also always wanted to be a published author so I guess that's something to strive for, but if I stayed a school librarian for the rest of my life I think I would be very happy.

I found and did something very important yesterday:
So basically, I reinstated my vibes.
You see, I watchewd a video criticizing sludge content and it gave me a psuedo-existential crisis, I didn’t know whether or not i was watching content worth my time, i like long term fan content with plots and I usually download them to watch at home since I’m offline most of the time but I don’t know if that content SUITES me y’know? I’ve been trying to curate my interests for a long time and I got back into tf2 after a few days of no content because i had a dream about it. 
And let me tell you i am VERY attached to the characters (can’t play the game right now) and story any time I watch something about them I feel like warmed seasoned cooked chicken wings (also because that’s what’s in the fridge). Earlier thatr day I had downloaded HOURS of sfm show-esque content while multitasking to not be bored which spurred my stressful self reflection and in my distress in order to calm down I ended up listening to one of my pre-digital rebirth songs (the birthday massacre) and it reminded me that I can find new songs by starting pandora song-based stations. 
Ok more context: after my digital rebirth and keeping an eye on the content I consume, I couldn’t find any media that fit what I was going for or i would find something that would fit me and my vibes at first but after listening for a long time I would slowly start going neurotic from replaying it over and over again. 
I needed new music. New music that wouldn’t make me feel rabid after a few listens. One of those bands was of montreal, specifically their peppy elegant funk music.
So I went onto pandora and made a station based on gallery piece from their skeletal lamping album for find more music that had the same energy (lyrics can go either way) and GOD did I find what I was looking for!! 
FIRST I rediscovered a french pop song that i hadn’t heard since I was a CHILD and couldn’t look up later in life due to not knowing the lyrics, only the melody. When I heard that song on that fateful day I was ESTATIC and the good vibes only continued! Another old song that I couldn’t find due to not knowing the lyrics popped up ( with more fitting music of course)! I ended up listening to that station for the rest of the half hour while browsing pinterest, etsy, and irregular choice and I had SO MUCH FUN!! I was ACTUALLY enjoying myself more while browsing!
Conclusion: my colorful funky vibes are here and now I feel like a damn shopping mall and it has kinda inspired me!! Also I just so happened to remember Bunny Maloney so that’s cool too!
You can use pinterest, spoofy, and maybe youtube if you’re looking for new music.
