Chenford - Lucy Chen / Tim Bradford - The Rookie - Season 5 - Ep 20
"S.T.R." AKA "Breakin' My Heart"
After a three week break, we were treated to a Season 6 renewal, the spoiling of Family Feud. And, to my great excitement, some bloody hi-res Chenford photos for the press!
All in all.. yesterday was a good day. But, was tonight a good night?
SPOILER ALERT: I'm the girl who literally wandered through every site on a Star Trek webring to find the Michael Jonas page full of Star Trek: Voyager spoilers. So, if you're wondering if I like spoilers, the answer is yes. I will spoil everything, so reader beware.
All clear on how this works? Golden. Because, I'm ready to dive in.
"This is ready." "That looks good." "Mm, thank you." "Mmhmm." "Hey!
Domesticity is just so cute on them. We've all been holding our breaths about the return of Isabel and what wrench it might throw in Chenford's way (or highlight, like Lucy's UC work), but golly this first scene of seeing them savoring the sweet simplicity of early love? Hell, yeah!
I'm also a huge fan of Tim cooking for Lucy. We've seen him cook for Kojo, of course, but I love that Lucy and Tim split the duties when it comes to cooking.
When Matthew and I first married, I asked what he could cook. He said, "eggs". Spoiler Alert: He could not cook eggs. At all.
So, there's a special place in my heart for men who cook for their women. And, yes, Matthew has learned to cook a lot since we wed.
Getting back to the main event—these two have been intertwined all night. You can't convince me otherwise! Neither of them is in a rush. Tim has taken some time off, and Lucy has been there for him the best she can.
And he. is. hungry. for. more. They both are! They wear the aura of, "I just saw you naked and I need to do it, again".
And insert the roommate who physically separates Chenford in a move that reminds me of the "Make Room for Jesus" moms who walk the floor at the Mormon dances. Yes, I attended one as a teenager. It was an experience.
Tim snaps into "well, that's annoying" mode, complete with the trademark raise of his hand. Lucy dutifully stays on her side of the kitchen until Tamara is cleared, and then that Lucy magnet kicks in, and it's right back to Tim's side.
"There are other rooms in the apartment for that."
Sugar, you weren't here for their first time, but you were here for their first kiss. Do you really believe they can keep their hands off of each other in any room of this apartment?
"I thought you were sleeping in today. No classes."
Okay, in that case, Lucy, maybe no hanky panky on top of the yummy yummy pancakes if Tamara is one wall away. Like, Tim pushing Lucy up against Tamara's door while she is in the room is not sexy. Right? Right.
"You want some? One or two?" "Uh, three please."
First off, love that Tim immediately jumps in to feeding his daughter. I'm Ukrainian Jew on one side and Spanish Catholic on the other. We feed people. It's what we do.
So, I love that Tim is right there for her. I also love that we've gone from, "How is that gonna work? You, me, and Tim?" to seeing it working. Yeah, she's got the typical daughter, "ewwww, don't kiss in front of me!" thing going on, but it's working. It's fitting.
And that's making my stomach hurt.
Because when things are really working in television, that's when they pull the rug out from under you. Drama, angst, instability, and misunderstandings litter our television experience.
So, I'm waiting for the bottom to drop out, as it were.
"No wait, um, shoot. Totally forgot. Uh, Isabel texted me. She's in town and needed to talk. So I just told her to come here. I hope that's okay."
Tim. This is Lucy's home and you invited your ex to her home and forgot to tell her!? Look, I think Lucy would have said yes if he'd asked, and I love that he's confident and comfortable enough to want to do this visit in front of Lucy.
But, Dude, we gotta work on your communication skills. Sex doesn't solve every problem.
"I'm sorry. I meant to tell you after you got out of the shower but, you know, I got in the shower."
I stand corrected. One mention of Shower Sex and Lucy's a little less thrown by the sudden arrival of her husband's ex and reliving that glorious ten... no... it's Tim we're talking about... twenty minutes.
Tamara, on the other hand, is rolling her eyes. But, look, girly, you're the one who encouraged your mom and dad to start shagging. So, really, if you think about it, this is on you.
"It's nice to see you again, Lucy. Thanks for letting me crash your breakfast." "No. Not at all. Um... Can I get you something?" "I wouldn't say no to some coffee."
So, Isabel's quick to read the situation, and she's actually being affable, so that's good. And Lucy's playing good host by offering her something.
And I know we're all a little peeved at Tim for parading the ex in front of his new-ish girlfriend, but I think it says a lot that they all snapped into their roles immediately.
This is Lucy's turf, and Isabel clearly understands she is a guest and not a part of this dynamic. Lucy is the wife. Tim is the husband. Isabel is the ex who we don't hate. (Ashley... now Ashley I hated)
"Tim invited her here. That's weird, right?" "No, I mean, it's totally fine. It's... It's a little weird."
Lucy can let her guard down with her daughter, and Tamara is clued into Lucy in a way Tim isn't quite yet.
Or maybe he just doesn't understand social niceties. I mean, did we ever see him host people at his house besides offering Lucy a place to crash when her best friend died?
Also, we know that he was Military before he was a Rookie, and we know he came up in the Training Academy with Isabel. So, maybe he never had a serious girlfriend before her?
Am I giving him too much leeway because I like him? Or does he need to get his ass in gear and stop flaunting the ex in front of his wifey? Maybe both.
"They're big time in Sylmar."
The power dynamic is interesting, because Tim is cluing Lucy in on this, and clearly taking that to her so she's an equal in the information.
Isabel holds the phone toward Lucy, too. So, she understands the power dynamic. And, damnit, that makes me respect her even more.
"We'll find her."
I love the immediate inclusive language. Sure, it could have been, "We, the Force, will find her", which is reading a little Star Wars coded for my liking, but you understand where I'm going, right?
I tend to think he means, "Lucy and I" because we all know he's going to pull her in.
Now, I'm still wondering how Mr. Metro got pulled into this from an assignments point-of-view (who is running Metro-Patrol liaison while he's chasing a missing girl with his ex?). Is it essential to this Meta? No. But it does give me pause, even as I've got 15 minutes left in the episode.
"Welcome back? Were you on vacation?" "I was on leave for a shooting. "I just got cleared." "You okay?" "Yeah, mostly. Lucy thinks I should start meditating... I know, right?"
First off, after three weeks I legitimately forgot that there was any shooting. Because the phrasing of this line is completely vague. If I didn't know, was he shot? Did he do the shooting? Both? Who knows!?
Second, we can see the chemistry these two had back in the day. I don't know that I'd have this kind of flirty banter with my exes, but I never dated a guy longer than a year and a half before Matthew.
"The famous Isabel."
Nyla clues in on what's going on right away. She really has this amazing ability to zero in on what's going on with Lucy, and it reminds me of her chat with Lucy when she caught her sneaking into the UC Conference.
She sort of talks Lucy through figuring things out for herself. And, yes, we've seen her do that before, too.
"You okay with that?" "Why wouldn't I be? ... It's not a big deal. I mean, he's... he's over her." "I know that. I just making sure you do." "Totally. Stop it!"
First off, girlfriends!! I remember a time when Lucy wanted so badly to be friends with Nyla and Angela. They took her out to a speed dating situation that scared the shit out of her.
Second, it's interesting seeing Lucy's insecurity manifest in a new way... that feeling that something about her is inherently wrong.
It's the programming of a lifetime of being unable to live up to her parents' expectations, and it's one of those things you spend the rest of your life working through. Over and over, again. I should know.
"He did say she looked good." "Why then would she agree to meet at his new girlfriend's apartment?"
Boom! There's my girl's confidence returning. Home base, right? Home turf advantage, right?
Also, how is Tamara allowed in here right now? I don't see her Visitor badge, she's not here on a case, and Lucy didn't walk her in. Does the Front Desk just let her in as "Roommate Privilege"?
"Chen! Let's move."
Now, we all know that Tim is more professional with Lucy inside the Station. But in light of the previous conversation, it did grate a little to hear him address her as "Chen". As though we'd lost some of that home-field advantage.
"So, how long you been dating Lucy?" "A few months. Are you seeing anyone?" ... "They were nice, but you set the bar really high."
Girl, STEP OFF my bestie's man. He is taken. You missed your chance, and now you can wallow in it away from him.
Also, I'm glad you're clean. I'm glad you can finally see that you had a good man. Perfect? Hell, no. Tim's got his issues. But he did love you and care about you.
"I get it, 'cause I held my breath every time you left on a long term assignment. Then you'd come home, and-" "And I'd still be gone in my head, no matter how much I wanted to be with you."
Ouch. So, clearly there were some communication issues, here. I get that there's a lot she couldn't discuss with Tim. But I also feel like there were some choices for her to close him off as a way to protect herself.
"You're gonna need back-up ... So Lucy's on her way here." "I can't believe after everything I put you through you're dating another UC." "I know. But Lucy's different." "She's not another junkie-in-waiting." "You know that is not what I meant." "I know, I just... seeing you again brings it all back up, you know? " "I do."
First off, I love that Tim called Lucy in. He trusts her, he knows she can get the job done, and we're a long way from him trying to shield her from UC work because of his hangups.
Now, I think he might be overcompensating a bit on that, but I'll get to that later.
I also am saddened to see Isabel's insecurities on full display, but I think it shows how far she has come. She was in full denial about being a "junkie" before, but now she's come to terms with her addiction, to a point.
It's something she'll have to live with the rest of her life, as every addict knows. And I'm grateful Tim is being so lovely with her, here. It says a lot about him and how supportive he can be, when allowed.
I think the one problem with Tim being attracted to such independent, strong women is that he doesn't want to get in their way. And that diminishing of himself is going to catch up to him, at some point.
To be clear, I'm not saying these amazing, strong women should hold back in any fashion. But, I do think that Tim needs to be upfront and honest about how he feels to help him process not only his trauma, but help him (and his partner) navigate their future.
"Be careful out there. It's been a minute since you've done this." "You wired?"
I wanted to call the juxtaposition of how Tim addresses both women as they prepare to go into this situation.
I think in some ways, Tim's still seeing the broken, frail version of Isabel he knew at the end of their relationship. But in Lucy, instead of warning her as he might have when she was a Rookie, he has full confidence in her.
For goodness sake, he called her in for this op. Tim knows that Lucy is capable, and so long as he's serving as backup, he knows he has a connection to the case and can be there for her if needed.
But next time she goes deep, again, like she did in Season 3, I have a feeling it's going to be bad for Tim.
Tim will be completely removed from the situation, back to holding his breath, as he did for Isabel. And all the old anxiety and pain is going to resurface because we all know that avoidance is Tim's method for processing trauma.
Also, Isabel's "Always the protector" rubbed me wrong for a while and I couldn't ascertain why. Something about that word, "Protector".
Someone on Twitter pointed out that Rosalind was the one to call Tim Lucy's "fierce protector" and that squared it away for me. I knew it was pinging something in my brain, but it's been a really tough evening, and I just couldn't connect the dots.
So, thank you, Twitter person, whose name I couldn't catch because the bloody feed refreshed too quickly!
"I was hoping to pick your brain a bit." "You wanna know my cheat codes for dating Tim?" "No. I've got him all figured out..."
She has for a very long time. Like, she had his number the moment she stole his wallet and made him wash dishes for dinner.
And I have to remember that Isabel doesn't know their history, here. She was absent or zoned-out on drugs for the entirety of the build up that the rest of us have witnessed.
So, it's borderline adorable in a "Bless her heart" way that she thinks Lucy needs tips, but it also shows that though she's hinted at missing Tim, she knows that's not her place, anymore.
"No, I wanted to ask you about your time under cover. You were a legend." ... "You want to know if it was worth it?"
Yes, I'm about to write all this out. We can see it as a potential preview of Tim and Lucy, as a cautionary tale of the worst way it could go, or simply a bit of wisdom for Lucy to carry with her to reflect on as she moves forward.
"Honestly, I can't answer that. Being undercover derailed my entire life. I lost my husband, my job, my self respect, almost lost my life. But I can't put all that on being a UC. Plenty of people make it out without becoming a full blown addict.... from what Tim tells me you have much healthier coping mechanisms."
So the joking about meditation comes back around to a compliment. Again, I never hated Isabel. I don't think she's the one for Tim, obviously, but she's not an inherently evil person (*cough* Ashley *cough*).
"You're always in fight or flight. that wears on your relationsh9ps no matter what.. but if you go in with your eyes open and you're prepared to make those sacrifices your experience might be different with mine. I hope it is."
That. That right there is why I don't hate this woman. Yes, she misses Tim and that possibility they had once upon a time. But, she knows that Lucy is here to stay, and the knowledge she imparts is filled with wisdom.
"Hey, you get the issue with the wire sorted out? "Yeah, we're good. it got disconnected somehow." ... "Babe, we gotta go."
Don't. Like. Her. Lying. To. Him. I'm sorry, but I keep going back to the "We don't keep secrets from one another", and that just burns me. Lucy, if you're going to do UC, you've gotta keelop some secrets. I get it. But this was a choice to lie to him when you know you're deep in UC with his UC Ex.
Maybe you both need communication lessons.
Hell, we all do, right? That's why we love these characters. They're as flawed as we are, and if they were perfect at everything every time, there'd be nowhere for their stories to grow.
But, that said, I feel like we're just building up for lies to bite Lucy in the ass when it comes to Tim. And my trust of TPTB with ships is hanging by a thread, so I'm choking down the anxiety with coke minis and edamame.
"Who's Tim?"
Love of Lucy's Life. Best Sex She's Ever Had. Hard Ass with a Tight Ass Winner Mid-Wilshire 2010-2023.
"That's not bad. Lucy?"
There it is. Him calling his girl by name.
"It's not like you'd come home and talk to me about it. This girl was clearly important to you and I'd never heard of her until this morning."
Again, we see the utter lack of communication. And we can sit here and assign blame and point fingers. That gets us nowhere. But we're seeing a blueprint for how not to do this.
If one of y'all is gonna be UC, you've got to have your communication down. Not just on favorite surfaces and positions, but on what matters to you as a unit so you can survive the stress and strain as a couple.
"I saw how alone you were at a moment I felt alone myself. So I looked out for you and took care of myself in the process."
From everything we've heard, tonight, I get the impression that Isabel self-isolates. And I get that. A lot of us do that.
And, yes, we can argue that she was undercover at this moment, but I think it's more than that. I think that something she mentioned in her past leads her to internalize rather than share.
But Tim would never draw it out of her. He's not the type. And so she squirreled deeper and deeper into herself while he spiraled, looking for what he was doing wrong.
Remember, he initially thought she was having an affair. Because he wasn't enough. Because he was doing something wrong. Because he had failed her, somehow.
There is the potential for the past to repeat itself if Tim and Lucy aren't careful.
"Do you want a beer?" "Yeah. Sounds great."
Tim and Lucy walk in, both beat from the day. He places his backpack in its usual place—beside the liquor. Lucy immediately goes for the fridge. They have a rhythm.
"She seems good. Happy." "Isabel?" "Mm." "Yeah. Yeah she deserves it." "Hmmm."
There's a little unease, there. I don't think Lucy feels threatened by Isabel anymore, but she's building up to something. Tim, on the other hand, knows there's something she's holding back.
They really do have each other's numbers. But they don't quite have the connection nailed, yet.
And we are back with these two on the couch. But this time we're not looking at the beer hand off from a birds-eye view, as though we're sneaking a peek into a potentially intimate moment.
No, this time the camera is in on the intimacy in a two-shot, and we're not voyeurs so much as a fern on the windowsill—belonging if not interacting.
"It was nice to get to know the actual person behind all your stories." "Is that what you were doing when you turned your mic off?" "No. We were talking trash about you, of course." "Funny"
I am very proud of him for calling her on it. It reminds me of the hotel scene where he was the one to bring up the blossoming attraction between them.
It's consistent that every now and then Tim will be the one to initiate the uncomfortable conversation, especially where Lucy is concerned.
"Can I share something vulnerable with you?" "Yeah, of course." I love working undercover. I love it, but I've never gone as deep as Isabel did." ... "You're worried you won't be able to handle it."
Okay, Tim is not trying to discourage her, here. On the contrary, he is prepared to build her up and tell her how wonderful she is.
We all know that Tim didn't want Lucy to go anywhere near UC. But we've also proven many times that he is fully aware of her capabilities, and even willing to help her study to reach her goals.
So, he wasn't planning on enforcing her doubts, here. He was ready to build her up, encourage her, and help her reach her goal.
Because Tim doesn't want to ever stand between someone he loves and what they truly want—because he never believes it will be him.
Tim has major issues with inadequacy and not feeling deserving of the good in his life. He had his weakness beaten into his head from a young age, and he still defaults back to it—I'm not good enough.
So, he is not going to deter Lucy from what she wants... but he should be honest. And I worry that in his quest to be most supportive boyfriend ever he is skipping honesty.
And those little lies these two have been planting will only grow and multiply, like the vines choking my carport.
"No. I'm worried that you won't."
Lucy places her hand on his shoulder, a natural place I notice that hand goes now that they're dating. He places his hand over hers, and I'm having Episode 1 of Season 5 flashbacks, except this time his hair isn't greased back and she's not wearing a nose ring.
"Pretend" my ass. These two were clearly already a thing. Right? Right.
"I'll be fine. Okay? I will."
He's trying to convince both of them, but she's unsure.
"Come here."
Lucy snuggles up against him easily, the two adopting a pose that previously was only seen by them. He wraps an arm around her, the other finding her knee as she drapes her leg over top of him. Her head rests on the crook of his arm as her hand hovers above his heart.
Tim does this little closed-eyed head shake, the same one he did when Lucy got him to admit he couldn't be objective where she was concerned.
This is not fine.
Because Lucy is terrified he'll bail as much as he's frightened he'll fail.
Think about it. Lucy has had everyone bail on her. Heck, Chris might've been the first guy she straight up broke up with. Nolan easily walked away from her, the firefighter texted his regards, and the guy before all them married her best friend who he was banging while Lucy lived with him.
Not to mention her parents. They were willing to love her as long as she stayed within the lines of her expectations. But once she pursued life as a cop, they turned their backs on her.
Her one supportive friend—her best friend—left her unwillingly. But he's still gone.
And here's Tim. She loves him. She loves them. But she also loves UnderCover. And she's terrified that if she chooses it, he's eventually going to bail because he can't handle it.
And that's really fucking unfair of her, but I also totally get it with her history.
And how she perceives his. From the outside point-of-view, she sees that Isabel was this total rock star at her job and things degraded with her and Tim to the point that she got addicted.
But there's so much more to the story than that. And Lucy's not asking Tim for that because she "knows Tim" and knows he doesn't like to talk things out. But, damnit, they need to talk things out if this is going to work.
Because Tim wanted to be a supportive husband to Isabel. Yes, he was terrified for her, but I think he thought she'd talk to him when she was ready. She never did. She never opened up.
And, again, not putting the blame for what happened in Tim's last marriage on his ex. They both bear blame for it, truly.
Lucy is different from Isabel in that she has a psych degree and understands that working through things and talking through them is essential to relationships.
However, in practice, she's one of those people who can diagnose others but not herself. We saw it when she was trying to convince herself her trauma was behind her when she returned to the Force after her abduction.
Lucy is missing a major component, here, and while she was trying to reach out to Tim, she actually pushed him away. Because he feels like he's holding her back, in some way... that he's in the way of her dreams.
And now his insecurities are on full blast. He's been doing his best to shove them down and enjoy the ride, as it were. But Isabel's presence didn't just bring up the marriage that failed, but also his feelings of inadequacy as a husband.
He likes to sit there and talk about all the things he should have done, how he failed her, how he got it wrong. Because it's so easy for him to see himself as the issue.
But he has no idea how to process because he refuses to communicate. And not communicating with Lucy is going to hurt them. It just is. Because relationships are nothing without communication.
Gosh, this reads like a major downer on an episode that had multiple kisses and lots of meaty Chenford domesticity. But, the hammer has to drop. And we, my friends, are often the nails. Yeah, my head hurts after that final scene.
Thank you so much for reading. I hope you had some fun! And I hope we end the season on a positive note for these two. They have a lot of learning to do. But if they learn to start communicating, I have high hopes for these lovebirds.
And, do me a favor and give the people you love a hug tonight. A friend of mine who's been battling terminal cancer on and off for years just got the news tonight that there's nothing more than can be done.
She is 38 and has had unfair thing after unfair thing in this life, and it bloody breaks my heart. In a few weeks, one of my few constant friends since childhood may be gone.
And I'm trying desperately to get back to Wilmington to see her before then, because sickness and treatments on both sides have kept us apart the last year.
So, hug the ones you love. Cherish them. Give someone a call. And take photos. So. Many. Photos. It's good to remember the good times when times are tough.
Goodnight, my lovelies.

Enchanted Neighborhood Chapter 1
~1380 words. Sora/Kairi. Post-Canon. Family AU, SoKai Parents AU. Reunions, Fluff, Winnie the Pooh.
This is a sequel to After Ever After and Love’s Cost. There are five chapters total and the story will update weekly on Fridays.
Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5
Summary: Sora and Kairi take their kids on an impromptu family vacation to Radiant Garden. While they can’t visit Pooh’s storybook due to being all grown up, they still want Miyu, Haruto, and Emi to experience the magic of the Hundred Acre Wood for themselves.
Tumblr media
“Alright, are all kids here and accounted for?” Sora asked as he powered up the Gummi Ship. Nothing like an impromptu family vacation to get everyone’s spirits up. Kairi smiled and squeezed his hand. Even after all these years, going to another world with him always felt like an adventure.
Especially because this visit was the hallmark of a lot of new changes. True, they were going to a world they’d been to dozens of times before, but the little one in her belly had shaken things up for their family quite a bit, in the best possible way. 
She glanced behind her. Miyu and Emi were carefully buckled in, but Haruto was still bouncing around the main deck.
“Haruto, seatbelt, or Dad can’t take off,” she said, and Haruto was quick to sit down and strap himself in. 
Sora grabbed a paper sack and handed it to her. “For your nausea.” 
“Thank you,” Kairi said, grateful he’d thought of this. Her previous pregnancies had trained him well. She always got morning sickness during her first trimester, and this pregnancy was continuing the trend. 
“And a snack for the trip,” he said, handing her a jar of pickled paopu. She always craved pickled paopu when she was pregnant. 
Haruto wrinkled his nose. “Ewwww, you’re eating those again Mom?” 
“Please, not when we can’t escape from the smell,” Miyu begged as she made a face. 
“Mom is carrying your new younger sibling,” Sora said, “which is the World’s most important job right now, so she gets to eat all the pickled paopu she wants.”
He smiled and squeezed Kairi’s hand, and she grinned. “I promise I won’t torture you two too badly,” she told Miyu and Haruto. “I’ll be lucky if I’m not throwing up the whole time. Morning sickness and Gummi Ships don’t make for a good combo.”
“Morning sickness?” Emi asked. “Is that another pregnancy thing?”
“Sadly, yes,” Kairi said. Emi had been very curious about the pregnancy, and she’d accidentally traumatized Sora when he found out she already knew how babies are made. A very overdramatic meltdown had followed about how someone had “ruined his baby’s innocence,” “she’s too young to know about this kind of thing,” etc.
“Sora, she has two older siblings who are teenagers,” Kairi had told him as he paced back and forth in their bedroom. “Of course she found out early.” 
“Who told her?” Sora moaned as he draped himself across the bed. “She wasn’t supposed to know till she’s older!” 
“She asked me,” Kairi said as she set her book down, and Sora’s horrified reaction would’ve made her laugh if he wasn’t so distraught over the whole thing. “And… Well, I thought it would be best if the explanation came from me.”
That had gotten him to shut up, because they both knew he would never have been able to tell her himself. He’d barely been able to tell Haruto about it without turning into a blushing, stammering mess that left Haruto more confused than anything. In the end, Kairi had to give the talk to all three of their kids instead of Sora. 
And, since the older two had witnessed Mom going through pregnancy before but Emi had not, she was naturally the most curious about it. Hence the barrage of questions about every single thing Kairi was experiencing. 
“So you get sick in the morning?” Emi clarified. 
“Most often, but it can happen anytime.” Kairi grimaced. “Especially in moving vehicles.” 
Sora gave her a sympathetic look. “I’ll do my best to make this a gentle ride.”
Her nausea proved to be about what she expected, but at last Sora was putting the Gummi Ship into the landing cycle and soon she’d be seeing the doctor. There were some excellent ones back home on Destiny Islands, but she really liked the specialist she’d seen here when she was pregnant with Emi. Plus, Aerith would have some herbs that would help with the morning sickness and other treatments to make her pregnancy more comfortable. 
“Okay, kids, we’re going on an adventure,” Sora said. He led them through the cobblestone streets of Radiant Garden to a very quirky house with a lot of heart and character. When they reached the house, a note on the door read: 
Good morning, Sora, Kairi, Miyu, Haruto, and Emi: 
I’m out for the afternoon, but you are more than welcome to make yourselves at home. The tea in the kettle is still warm and will pour you cups if you say the word. Don’t worry Kairi, it’s safe for expectant mothers. Congratulations on the new addition to the family, that’s fantastic news. Sora, I have the book you’re wanting laid out on the table. 
- Merlin
Miyu and Haruto exchanged glances.  
“How did he know we were coming?” Miyu asked.
Haruto nodded. “Yeah, and all that other stuff too.”
“He ages backwards, which means he experiences time backwards,” Kairi explained. “Our future is his past.” 
“Yup.” Sora opened the door, and sure enough, everything was just as Merlin had said. The table was set for five with tea cups for everyone, a cozy fire was lit in the fireplace, and a very special storybook was on the table. 
Sora’s face lit up when he saw it. “Pooh! Man oh man is it good to see you again.” The cover had Pooh and all of his friends on it, but Kairi noticed Sora was missing. 
Emi peered at the book. “It looks nice. Will you read it to us?”
“Oh, this isn’t just any old book,” Sora explained. “This book will take you on a fun adventure!”
Kairi nodded and squeezed Emi’s shoulder. “You and Miyu and Haruto can go together. First, you’ll become very small, then you’ll get to meet Pooh and his friends.” 
She and Sora figured that would be more exciting than sitting in the doctor’s office anyway. And the Hundred Acre Wood was safe, so Miyu and Haruto shouldn’t have any issues watching over Emi. 
Emi’s eyes lit up. “Oooooh! Will you and Daddy come too?”
Sora’s face fell for a moment before he masked his pain with a smile. “Grownups can’t visit the book. It’s not allowed.” 
Kairi still remembered the day Sora realized he wouldn’t be able to see Pooh anymore. She’d tried to comfort him as best she could, but there was always something sad about saying goodbye to an old friend. Especially because growing up was already such a bittersweet experience.
Emi tilted her head to the side. “Why can’t grownups visit?”
Kairi knelt till she was eye level with her daughter. “Grownups don’t have the heart of a child, and you have to have the heart of a child to enter. There are many good things about growing up, but there are sad things too. And this is one of them.” 
“Oh, okay,” Emi said with a frown. 
“Tell Pooh hi for me, okay?” Sora said, and Emi nodded. “Oh, and give him this.”
He dug into his pockets and pulled out a small jar of honey. Emi tilted her head and blinked, but then took the jar from him.
“Miyu, Haruto,” he said, and Haruto stopped poking the fire with his Keyblade, “use your Keyblades to enter the book, and take Emi with you. Mom and I will be back in a couple of hours.” 
Miyu took Emi’s free hand and summoned her Keyblade. “See you then.”
Haruto joined them, and a few seconds later, all three kids shrank and entered the book. Kairi rested her head on Sora’s shoulder and sighed. 
“Even though we can’t go back anymore, it’s nice that they can.”
“Yeah. They’re gonna love it.”
She searched his face. “You okay?” 
“I’ll be fine,” he said. “It’s just hard not to be sad, you know? I wish I could see Pooh and the others again.”
“I wish you could too.”
Sora kissed her head. “Thanks, Kairi. Now enough about me, let’s see how our baby is doing.” 
With that, they left Merlin’s house. The magic spells Merlin had cast would keep their kids safe from any intruders, and she and Sora wouldn’t be gone long. Time for the doctor’s visit and, if they had time before she was supposed to see Aerith about the herbs, an impromptu date. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: I first started working on this fic a year ago and finally got back to it a;lskdjflsdf (sorry for the delay, I really did mean to get this continuation for the SoKai Family AU done sooner). Winnie the Pooh is just something that I’ve loved for a long time, it’s so wholesome and sweet, and as much as I joke about how the Hundred Acre Wood is minigame hell in the KH games, it’s also really soothing to walk around the world with the memorable music and charming characters. So naturally I wanted to set a story about Sora and Kairi’s kids here. 
Anyway, this story is dedicated to @angel-with-a-pipette and @scoobysnack1107​! Thank you for brainstorming it with me and cheering me on as I wrote it, your support means a lot ❤️ I had a lot of fun discussing the story beats with you both!
And thank you everyone for reading! See you next week!

Hey babe!
I sort of have an unusual request. I'm not sure if you'd want to write it but ugh<3 it's okay if you don't.
So do you remember that scene from the final HP movie where HP , Ron, Ginny and all are shown with their children at the station?
I'm sort of inspired by that.
Can you maybe write a Cedric Diggory X reader where he and his wife the Reader come to drop their kids to the station and the reader is pregnant with another one and there's a lot of fluff and sweet shit ?
Hey, you! So I loved this idea and FINALLY finished it! Let this be a Valentine’s day gift to you my love! <3 Hope you like it!
Cedric Diggory x fem!Reader (Fluff)
“Outnumbered.”
Tumblr media
“This is the last time I’m letting you do this to me, Diggory.”   
“I believe you had an equal part in this, Mrs Diggory.”  
“Damn you and that smile of yours.”  
“Mum, Dad, we’re going to be late. Let’s go!”   
“He’s right, mum, my friends would be waiting for me, so if we could just hurry this up a bit.”   
“Oh alright! Help me get out at least.”  
“Coming, love!” 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
The bright, golden rays of light brought warmth through the windows as the birds, as usual, started screeching unnecessarily, otherwise called chirping, but you know, depends on if you’re a morning person or not.   
One specific person in the Diggory Household was most definitely not, a morning person.   
“Mom! Wake up! We have to go! It’s finally the 1st of September!”   
“Son, please get off the bed. I know you’re excited for your first year, but you don’t have to break our bed for it, little man. I’ll bring your mother out, don’t worry.” Cedric ushered the boy out, smiling and shaking his head at his son’s antics.   
He moved to stand next to the bed where his wife was laying peacefully and looked at her lovingly. He found it hard to take his eyes off her angelic let alone thinking of ruining her slumber.   
“Are you just going to stand there and watch me like a creep?” (Y/N) said with her eyes still closed but a smirk playing on her lips.  
“I could watch you for all my life and never get tired of what I see, love,” Cedric said sitting next to (Y/N) and helping her sit up.   
“Yeah, yeah I believe you Diggory. After all, I am the pretty one in this relationship,” (Y/N) said, sarcasm oozing from every word.   
Cedric just laughed softly and supported a very visibly pregnant (Y/N) wobble to the bathroom to freshen up.   
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
“Okay, do we have everything? Have you guys packed everything?” (Y/N) asked for the third time, just to ‘make sure that her son and daughter had everything they would possibly ever need.’   
“Yes, mum. We have everything, don’t worry.” Her daughter looked at her with a smile as she came back from keeping her and her brother’s trunks in the luggage carriage.   
“Oh, look at our kids all grown up,” (Y/N) said, looking adoringly at their kids with her hands holding Cedric’s. “Come here.” She pulled both of them into a bone-crushing hug that could rival Mrs Weasley’s while Cedric watched this heart-warming interaction with tearful eyes.   
Eventually, (Y/N) let the poor kids breathe and let Cedric take over as she was on the verge of bursting out into sobbing.   
“Always remember that whatever house you end up in, we will always support you no matter what. That will change nothing between us, and we will still love you unconditionally. Okay, young man?” Cedric put his hands on his son’s shoulders and assured him as he looked a bit nervous.   
“I love you, mum and dad! I’ll miss you so much!” He hugged Cedric and (Y/N), letting a few tears slip out.   
After all the final goodbyes were exchanged, (Y/N) watched as her son and daughter climbed aboard the Hogwarts express and looked up to see that Cedric was already looking at her. He hugged her around the waist and bent down to put his head on her shoulder.   
“You know, we’re going to be outnumbered soon,” Cedric said, placing a hand on (Y/N)’s baby bump.  
“Yeah, we are,” (Y/N) leaned her head against Cedric’s and continued, “Time flies by so quickly. It only feels like yesterday when those two little devils used to fit in our arms and fuss about not getting attention. And now look at them, look at us. Everything’s changed. Everyone’s grown so much.” She placed her hand over Cedric’s and sighed contentedly.   
“Our love and bond as a family will only grow as times change. This little tyke,” Cedric said as he rubbed his hand slowly over the baby bump, “will experience the love of two adoring parents, an overprotective older brother, and a caring older sister. This family is the best thing that ever happened to me.”   
(Y/N) turned around in his arms and pulled his face down for a small but passionate kiss before hugging him tightly.   
“You know I love you, right, Golden boy?” (Y/N) let out a watery chuckle and said to him.   
“Yes, I do know that,” He cupped her face in his hands and continued, “and I love you despite your stupid nicknames, love.”   
Cedric kissed (Y/N) before they heard a loud ‘Ewwww’ coming from a nearby carriage window.   
“Oh, shut up, you two.” (Y/N) waved off their son and daughter as they all laughed and said goodbye to each other as the train sounded its final horn.

Prologue
The two Ackerman children were seen running excitedly as they meet their grandfather. A girl and a boy. One with shining brown eyes, and the other with a set of bluish gray that seems to change when the light reaches them. It could be understood that both of them missed their grandpa terribly. The old man, with little bit of greying hair amidst the raven-black ones, is smiling upon seeing his grandchildren. By just looking at his face, you would know that he has been quite a handsome man at his young age, even though he had battle scars at some area of his facade. Nevertheless, he still looks good with his greying hair and wrinkles by his eyes each time he smiles.
“Grandpa. We want to hear the story again. About that one captain.” The little girl excitedly hugs her grandfather’s legs, a level which she could only reach.
“Awww, you missed my stories more than me?” He teases her and that earned him a cute pout from the little girl.
“She misses your story, gramps. But I missed you.” The little boy cried out a little when he tried to reach his grandfather’s cigar, before he even noticed that he is already at his grandfather’s arms earning him a kiss.
“Ewwww. Grandpa. I am a big boy now. You shouldn’t be kissing me anymore.” Their grandfather laughed.
“So since you are a big boy, you do not want to hear my stories then?” Both of the kids fell silent and again noisily dragged their grandfather into the porch to tell them about their favorite story.
Both of the hyperactive children starts bickering loudly as to where they should sit when Grandpa Ackerman started to clear his throat as a signal that he will now begin his story.
The kids went silent and with wide eyes. They listened to their grandfather. Both of them in prone position and the back of their hands supporting their chins, attentively taking in all of their grandfather’s words into their imagination— giving them life.
And when they listened, the story goes like this:
Long ago, before the age of the titans. Before we were separated by the walls, women are beneath the society. They were never given education because their only purpose is to be a “wife”, to bring her family honor, to make her husband happy, and all of the things that would make you a submissive little person to the male species. They could never participate in war, one could never be a soldier, or even a scientist. They were never heard, not even once. Their only mistake was they were born a “woman”, emotionally & physically weak than men.
Hange Zoe is such a peculiar person. She was labeled as a weirdo in their little town. She does not follow rules, and a little liberated. She does not believe that a person should be caged or contained by how the society labels them. She is her own person. This is often the very reason as why she always fights with her mom. “You do not look like a girl your age?” “When will you start acting like a lady?” “Are you insane going out with people you do not even know?””Why the hell are you always with Moblit?”“It is not good for an unmarried woman to be seen with an unmarried man”. These lines were only triggered by their failed attempt to be matched to a suitable groom, and her mom’s word would go on and on till forever, and she will just tune it all out and forget them. Besides, Moblit is just a friend. Should society also put a label on who should be a friend and not?
Yes she knows, she would never be good at cooking like her younger sister Sasha, who had already been matched to the chef next village. She could never be as sassy and cool as Mikasa, who has also been match to the son of a noble Yeager Family next town. And here she is, nearing her 30s yet, unmatched and the matchmaker said she will never ever, not in her lifetime, be married. A badluck in their town. She is not even worried at the very least. She just laugh it all out and would tell that story to Sasha later. She knows her sister would just joke around that at least she will be forever be known as “The Oldmaid of Trost” who will eventually haunt kids through the stories passed from generation to generation.
There is that one person that she does not want to disappoint, her father. He would just look at her, and smile at her behind her mom’s ramblings. She knows that no matter what happens, her dad would understand. His dad values family so much. He understands the longing when one parts from a family the moment he returned from war a few years before. She was thankful for the years of peace after that war, because she had all the time in the world to spend it with her family. But despite the smile her father shows, she could see the sadness etched on his eyes. It might be because of the multitude of death he had witnessed? Or it might be because of the friends he had lost at the battlefield. Needless to say, she is thankful that his father is with them. He is at home. Their country is at peace.
Or so they thought.

Chubby Bunny
Tumblr media
I am participating in @wackydrabbles​​ prompt # 88 picked by @kat-tia801​​
“I meant every word.”  which will appear in bold.
This is also Chapter 13 of Mia’s 🌎 World.  To catch up with what you’re missing, please click: Mia's World Masterlist
This is an adorable little Easter fic I thought up I hope you guys like it.  
Mia, Liam, and Emily and Chris, and Leo belong to Pixelberry, all other characters are my own.  
Original Post Date: 4/3/21 at 5:02PM EST
The Book:  TRR x The Freshman
Pairings:  Mia x Jaiden / Emily x Chris
Warnings: a little sexual innuendo
Word Count: 902  (I know this is short for me) 
Summary:  The couples play Chubby Bunny, and go to Mia’s house for Easter Sunday Dinner.
I added a link to the game Chubby Bunny in case you have never heard of it.  
Tumblr media
"Do you have Easter plans Jai?"
"No, both my parents are working."
"Come over Saturday and spend the night.  We can go to my parent's house for dinner on Easter Day. I invited Chris and Emily too."
"That sounds great. Your mom is a great cook, so is your dad."
"Ahem?"
Tumblr media
"You too Mia, you make the best cheesy eggs ever. I just don't know how I lived without your cheesy eggs until now."
He peppered her face with kisses.
"Jai stahhhhhhpppp!!!!" Mia giggled as he continued to dot her neck with kisses.
"It's true Mia."
His kiss drifted to her lips.
"I meant every word."
"I really can cook more than cheesy eggs Jaiden Brooks."
"I’m sure you can, I believe you baby."
*^*^*^* First Annual Chubby Bunny Couples Competition*^*^*^*
Jaiden brought out his phone and announcer voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen it's a beautiful sunny day in Chapel Hill, North Carolina  as our couples prepare for a battle to the death as who will be this year's chubby bunny champion of the realm. OOOOOHHHH SNAP!!! The competition looks cutthroat this year!
Tumblr media
 The first year of its inception. Who will reign victorious?”
Chris laughed as Mia and Emily made slicing motions across their throats at each other. 
Tumblr media
"Are we clear on the prize, loser couple buys winning couple dinner?"
Everyone nodded.
"Couples will go head to head first, the winners will battle it out for bragging rights and the loser doing laundry duty for a month.  Couples have you figured out your prizes?"
Mia winked at Jaiden. "That thing you do with the warm hot fudge." She said with a smirk.
"You liked that huh?"
Mia nodded biting her lip as she twirled her hair looking at him.
“We could do that again.”
"And what do you want Jai?"
"Actually, I want to collect on my Christmas present."
He pulled out the certificate.
"Since we are being festive, with a little something I bought for you, and bunny ears."
Tumblr media
Chris leaned over to look at the certificate.
"Oh hell yeah! Jaiden, it's like that? Em you're totally doing that when I win."
“When you win Chris Powell?  I like your nerve.”  
Tumblr media
“I really want to win this.”  Jaiden smiled at Mia.
“Let’s do this Jai!”  
The first 4 rounds went pretty well for both then when round 5 hit, Mia could hardly speak.
“Shobby Bonnie.”
“I’m sorry, what was that?”  Chris asked laughing.
Jaiden laughed so hard, he almost choked on the marshmallows in his mouth.
“Ewwww, you just totally spit marshmallow jizz on me Jaiden ewwww!!!!”  Emily screamed.
“Jaiden if you can say it clearer than Mia, you win.”
Jaiden won the round.
He winked at Mia.   Yes.. He thought....
Tumblr media
Between Chris and Emily won.  
“Okay Jai, you know I hate laundry, you better win this for us.  I’ll even add something extra to the certificate if you win?”  
“Like what?”
“You’ll see.”  Mia whispered.  
Tumblr media
Win it for us.”
Jaiden and  Emily hit round 7 when Emily delivered an ever so elegant....
"Scrubby Bunky."
“Jaiden is the winner!!!!”
“It will be so worth it to bring my laundry over here.  You know me for being the Chubby Bunny Champion of the Realm.”
“Oh my God Jaiden, can you brag a little more?”  Emily laughed at him.  
On the way to Mia’s parents house Jaiden had mentioned her parent’s cooking again to Emily and Chris.  It was bothering her a little bit.  
Jaiden glanced at her.  
“You alright?”  
“I’m fine.”  Mia gave him a weak smile.  
Jaiden gently brushed her leg.
Mia resumed looking out the window.  
Jaiden knew she wasn’t okay.  
When they got to her parent’s house.  Mia was shocked.
“Didn’t know this was the place where everyone was hanging out.  You guys chill out here with Leo,  I’m going to go see what’s up with my parents.”
Tumblr media
Mia walked into the kitchen, seeing so much food and her mom and Liam cooking.  She hugged and kissed her mom, and hugged Liam.
“Is there anything I can help with?”
“Yes,  we didn’t think we were going to have this many people over, Liam already chopped the potatoes, if you can make the potato salad, and Pops is bringing back a third ham, and cook that I think we’ll be fine.”  
“Okay, I can do that!”  
Pops came back shortly with the ham.
“Look at my girls cooking up a storm.”  Pops said smiling at Mia and Gloria in the kitchen.   Liam brought in more chicken off the grill. 
“Pops you be your social self and go keep everyone happy,”  Gloria commented smiling. 
After an hour or so Jaiden wandered into the kitchen.
“I was wondering where you were,” he said.
“My mom and Liam needed some help.”  
Tumblr media
“What are you making?” he asked.  
“I’m cooking the ham, and I’m making the potato salad.”
“Those are two of my favorite holiday things.”  
“Get out of my kitchen Jaiden Brooks you’re a guest!”  
“Yes Ma’am!!”  He said smiling at Mia as he walked out the door.  
As they were eating later,  Mia smiled.
Jaiden’s plate was full of a lot of holiday things, but Mia noticed he had extra helpings of ham and potato salad.    
“That boy is a sweetheart,”  Gloria whispered to Mia.  
“He really is.”  
*^*^*^*^*^*  Later that evening back on campus *^*^*^*^*^*
“Jai are you ready?”
“Hell yes I am!!!”
Jaiden turned on the music.
Mia stalked out of the bathroom.
Jaiden’s eyes widened.  
She smirked at him and struck a pose.

“Happy Easter to me.”

Team Karasuno as dads [hc]
For a married woman that doesn’t want kids, I sure do fantasize about my boys being dads a lot.
Asahi;
Tumblr media
He definitely cried when he found out you were pregnant.
When your daughter was born, he couldn’t even be in the room because he was so overwhelmed with you being in pain and the fact he was about to bE A DAD
He doesn’t even remember how you started dating because he was so blown away by your beauty or so he claims but the fact that y’all were married?? And having a kid?? When did he get so bold??
Eventually he got over it cause he felt bad that he wasn’t in the room holding your hand while you literally pushed a whole ass human out ya cooch.
He fainted
The first time he held his daughter was the first time he had felt complete, more complete than when he rejoined the volleyball team in his third year. It felt amazingly right. He tries to deny the fact and say your wedding was just as wholesome but you can tell. Fatherhood is something entirely different for him
“She takes after momma’s beauty.” A simp through and through.
Asahi is a parental HOG. Which is kinda nice cause he loves doting on your child but also HI I AM MOM AND WOULD LIKE TO HOLD MY BABY???
He tells YOU how to hold her and feed her and little ticks about her personality like you aren’t on maternity leave and are with the baby ALL DAY (although he is REALLY pushing for you to just be a stay-at-home mom)
Because he is soooo doting, it’s very rare that you wake in the middle of the night to feed or change her—Asahi is ALL over it. But he is human and there are days he’s too tired to wake up from dead sleep. It’s ok, he’s your human. Daddy deserves rest too.
Asahi would totally be a co-sleeper, or at least nap with the baby as much as he possibly could.
Definitely bought her multiple onesies that say “daddy’s little princess”.
She gonna be a spoiled brat when she’s older 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
Daichi Dadchi;
Tumblr media
I mean he’s a literal running joke in the fandom
After being elected as the unofficial dad of the VBC in his high school days, it was no wonder that he was such a natural with your three munchkins.
Having three slightly older boys of varying ages, you relied heavily on Daichi to get through to them when you couldn’t.
He’s definitely the strict parent; your sons all try to take advantage of you 💀 demons
Your boys saw you as a pushover most of the time because you were just so tired.
“Just keep trying for a girl, they said. There’s a 50/50 chance, they said.” Was something Daichi would find you chanting to yourself often while you cooked dinner and the boys were playing soccer in the house and breaking something.
Even though Daichi is strict, he really tries to emphasize to the boys to treat you with kindness to make it a bit easier on you.
“Guys, please don’t make your mother rip her hair out.”
“We’re just playin’!” They would sing in flawed harmony
“One day, you guys are going to be all grown up with your own special person with your own kids, and you’re gonna love them so much that you’ll understand why I’m telling you to calm down and listen to your mom.” Asjdfkhlek.
“Ewwww, daddy loves mommy.”
“I sure do.”
Sugawara;
Tumblr media
On god, Suga would be the most patient parent. He treats your toddlers like mini adults and not your insane nine year old girl or six year old boy.
He listens thoroughly when they are upset about something, cautiously listening to the deeper truths about why they’re upset and takes great care in making sure his children feel validated.
Super dad 🥰
But it’s not a random event; after being married to you for the last decade, he had so much practice with conflict resolution and genuinely listening to you that it was a natural tendency at this point.
For the most part, your children are incredibly well behaved. Sure, there’s an occasional incident because, well they’re kids. Your daughter, being the older of the two and nearly finished with primary school, was entering her phase of discovering boys and constantly writing in her diary.
Suga may be super dad, but he is not perfect, and for some reason I totally see him reading her diary.
“Koushi, put it back. Now.” He was just going to pretend that you using your mom voice on him didn’t turn him on and prepare him to fill you with another baby.
While he may be an expert on conflict resolution, you enforced respecting their privacy; quite a dynamic between the two of you in terms of validating your children as individuals.
“But honey, our daughter is starting to like boys.”
“At least one of the females in this house does.” 💀💀💀 with angels for children, someone had to be the clown of the Sugawara family and it was certainly you.
Tanaka;
Tumblr media
You and Tanaka had your first baby in your guys’ third year of high school, which you would be lying if you said it wasn’t hell.
Tanaka fought tooth and nail to try to do everything from makin dinner, working, making sure you were getting rest, and of course still playing volleyball. Everything except actually trying to graduate.
“I don’t have time to study babe, I have practice and then we gotta put this squirt to bed.”
There was a constant argument about Tanaka continuing with volleyball that nearly forced you two to split. While you knew how important it was to him, there was no way he was going to graduate from Karasuno while he was trying to care for you, a child, work, and play volleyball.
“Ryuu, please. I know you don’t wanna quit but if you can’t pass your classes, you won’t be able to participate anyway.” He did not take well to that.
It took him time to come to his senses and in that time, you had kept you and your son away from him to allow him his space.
Apparently that was also a wrong move on your part.
He was so angry and frustrated being away from his mini me that he had easily conceded to retiring from volleyball if it meant being able to watch his little nugget learn how to sit up and crawl.
Yes, he goes HAM on the nicknames. Squirt, nugget, mini me, beanie baby, tyke, and all of the above. He pretty much calls your son everything but his actual name.
“I’m sorry for being stubborn.” He says one night while you help him study for his finals, your sleeping son swaddled in your arms.
“I’m sorry for making you give up something you love.”
“Nah, I got you and the munchkin. That’s all I need.”
Noya;
Tumblr media
I love Noya 🥺 but at first, he is a chaotic parent. Granted y’all had your first child when you were still in college and he hadn’t the faintest clue on how to be a dad.
To be perfectly honest, you weren’t quite sure how to parent either.
Neither of you knew how to change diapers
Noya definitely got peed on more times than he wishes to admit
When your son was still a newborn, just around finals time, neither of you could figure out for the life of you why your baby was crying in the middle of the night. Which inherently made you cry because you had an 8am final and you had finished studying 5 hours prior 🙃
“Try to get some sleep, babe. I’ll take care of him.” Nishinoya’s voice was thick with exhaustion, but he knew how little you’d been sleeping since giving birth.
When you went to leave for your final, Noya was asleep in your living room rocking chair, baby safely in his arms with the both of them just snoozing away.
It was a struggle but the two of you faced the challenge together, one step at a time with your energetic four-year-old son as you graduated university. By the time you had all settled into a larger apartment together as a family, Noya had yet to pop the question. He was too busy having fun with his little man.
Sometimes it scared you how in sync he was with his child probably because he was still a child himself but it was sweet and endearing.
“Hey babe?” He asks softly after the two of you tucked away your boy for the evening. You raised in eyebrow at him, silently goading for him to continue. “Do you want to have another?” Needless to say, he sure as shit impregnated you that night asjckglpwm
Hinata;
Tumblr media
With Hinata being an older brother, I actually see him being a wonderful dad. However, homie’s got a one-track mind and with him playing professionally, you’re usually left to do the parenting.
Your kids definitely like you more than Shoyo, not that anyone blamed anyone; they just never see daddy :(
BUT when he is in dad mode and home, you suddenly remember why you were eager as shit to have more kids with him 🥴 which explains ya you’ve got your third on the way
When he does come home, he automatically greets his older, 8 year old son with noogies and a brief wrestling session. For some reason, Hinata felt the need to compete with his own child 💀
Headass.
But when he sees his daughter, his world stops because he has favorites and EVERYONE in the Hinata house knows it
Always asking your 6 year old girl how her day was, asking how she was doing ruling over her imaginary kingdom and if she found her Prince Charming yet.
“Pffft I don’t need Prince Charming, daddy, he’s icky!!! Mommy says I don’t need a man!”
Where is the lie
“Your mom is absolutely right and you should totally listen to her, she’s the best queen in the whole world.”
Because of his one-track mind, he is engaged fully with your kids when he is actually home. Your son had naturally gotten into volleyball which, even after a long day’s practice, Shoyo spends hours training him.
“Do you think this one’s finally gonna like me more than you?” He asks one night while he’s doing the dishes after dinner, while you’re right beside him drying them off.
“Sho, our kids love you. But mom is home with them allllll day and has been since birth.”
“Can we keep trying until one of them finally likes me more?” 💀💀💀 “or until we have enough to make our own volleyball team?”
Kageyama;
Tumblr media
How this socially inept clown got ANYONE pregnant was unthinkable. Of course, to anyone but you. After being with him all throughout high school, it was more of a wonder how you didn’t get pregnant sooner
This dude dirty. His one track mind, if not on volleyball, was entirely on you. Nearly every night was date night which ALWAYS ended with bow chicka wow wow 😏 you horny mfers yalll moved in together as soon as you graduated from Karasuno.
Clothing at home was nonexistent.
With the two of you in your second year of college, living in your apartment, and being 8 months pregnant, the air had dramatically shifted.
Kageyama’s once still high sex drive had been channeled into school work, working, and of course, volleyball. You were planning on at least completing your semester before taking time off to care for the baby. It seemed one of you would have to really step up, and from what it seems, it wasn’t going to be Tobio.
When he was home, which was very few and far between with how much he had going on, he had tried to dote on you as much as he could physically muster. Kisses here and there, bathing together, and lots of snuggles.
Kageyama is in charge of the nursery and there’s no room for argument on this. With him not being as present at home, he sets up the nursery as a way to communicate with his child that he’s never going to see because of volleyball
I love Kags, but he is nowhere near ready to even think about parenting 💀 which you tried to be patient with, but with the due date approaching very rapidly, you kinda needed him to step it up.
“I’ve helped.” He tries using the nursery as an argument and he had gone to every doctors appointment but homeboy still doesn’t know how to make a bottle or change a diaper
Was he prepared to have to clean up baby shit and vomit? Absolutely not. Was he going to anyway? Lmao, absolutely not. This boy only wants to be daddy, not dad.
Tsukishima;
Tumblr media
It shook everyone and their mother when people found out that Kei not only had a girlfriend that he met in college, but that his girlfriend was a milf according to Kuroo and Bokuto
When you and Kei had first started dating, your daughter was already five. And while you obviously didn’t bring her to classes with you, she was always with the two of you for date nights. Oddly enough, he really didn’t mind.
His patience for kids, now that’s he’s older and kids are actually kids and NOT his peers, rivals that of Sugawara’s.
“Hey Tsukki,” your spawn asks at dinner one day. “When are you and mommy gonna get married? People keep making fun of me cause I call my parents mommy and Tsukki.”
“Making fun of people isn’t cool, it’s so lame. They’re just jealous cause they don’t get to call their parents mommy and Tsukki.”
👁—
That same night, Kei offers to read your daughter to sleep as if to reinforce the notion that mommy and Tsukki was cooler than mommy and daddy. Of course, he was pushing for this to hide that he was upset that children were making fun of her.
After that Tsukishima really gets into his dad role—walking your daughter to school with you or without you everyday, picking her up and giving her grandiose hugs. He made sure to lock eyes with every spectator, his height towering over many at the kindergarten. Silently telling them all “do not fuck with her, or you answer to me.”
He’s sosososo protective, I can’t. He ain’t scared to fight a toddler.
Even well after you and Tsukishima introduce a child of your own, your daughter still insists on calling him Tsukki and adamantly tries to teach her sister to say Tsukki instead of dada.
“You’re okay with the kids not calling you ‘Daddy’, Kei?”
“The only one I want calling me daddy is you.”
Yamaguchi;
Tumblr media
This poor bean 💀 not only was he not prepared for fatherhood in the slightest, but twins?!
You both swore up and down they were evil. If one was hungry, the other one would refuse to eat until the other finished their meal. This applied to using their diapers as well.
Imagine the energy of Hinata and Nishinoya as baby twin boys, and lo and behold, yours and Tadashi’s kids.
While you had slightly more patience with them, knowing they were going to grow up eventually and become their own independent humans. Tadashi was not handling this well at all.
Low key, he felt like he was doing a horrible job as a parent and, after the boys had finally gone to sleep for the night, you’d spent a lot of time consoling Tadashi.
“Why can’t I be like—“
“Baby, you’ve got to stop comparing yourself to all of your friends. None of them have twin boys that are less than a year old.”
“Yeah but Hinata has three of them, so does Daichi—“
“Honey, you aren’t them. You’re you, so please, just be you.”
He’s ambitious when it comes to parenting—he wants to be the best dad ever, and he only gets better with practice.
That doesn’t make him wanna tear out his hair any less, but as the boys get older, it does get easier. We pretend their toddler years didn’t exist, it was a nightmare that Tadashi does NOT want to relive

16 for the sentence starter pls :) only if u feel like it tho
I LOVE making family moments, maybe because I just love being with my family, and my best friends are my sibilings
and I clearly love boats
two people asked for #16 (this list) so I made the fluff for this one, I hope you like it <3 thank u for sending
#16:  “Do you think the moon is jealous of how pretty you are?”
"Do you think the moon is jealous of how beautiful you are?" Harry whispered in his wife's ear, kissing the tender spot behind her ear and then kissing on the mouth when Ginny turned away and captured his lips.
‘’You are the most romantic guy I know’’ She smiled beautifully as they parted, her hands still holding his face, as if to prolong the moment of euphoria
''I do my best'' He admitted turning her around, making them face each other ''Are you happy?’’ Her brown eyes shone in the light of the full moon, her freckles looking duplicated after several days in the sun, the wind beating with which her short hair was slightly tousled, but Harry never stopped finding her perfect.
‘‘Absolutely’’ Ginny wrapped her hands around his neck. Resting hands on Harry's neck, nails scraping his sensitive skin and making goosebumps ''I'm glad you and James are impulsive and have decided to buy a boat'' She looked around, the water reflecting gracefully clear the sky, some birds flying in search of a good dinner, the noise of the children laughing at something Teddy had done on the other side of the boat, while they tried, and failed, to catch a fish.
‘’You were not so happy when we told you’’ He recalled, laughing at the memory of Ginny and Albus saying that James and Harry were crazy about making the purchase;
‘’But mom, it’s beautiful!” The son said, showing the photo from the magazine and pointing ''And dad wanted to give your name to her'' Harry laughed at his attempt to make his mother go soft, looking at her piously ''Dad?’' James looked at him, kind of pleading while nodding at Albus and Ginny, still unconvinced
"Everyone will love it," Harry assured her, smiling at his daughter who looked super excited, snatching the magazine sheet from her mother's hands and looking hopeful. ‘’It will be good for travel, and it’s magically tuned to fit all Weasley’s, which is even better’’ James nodded, happy with that argument
''James was right, it's beautiful'' She sighed, laying her head on her husband's chest and feeling at home, even though they were at sea many miles away from the city. Harry would always be her home.
‘’No more than you’’ Ginny laughed, beating the man in the chest and looking at him with a frown
''Stop saying ready words, you know you're going to have me naked before you close the bedroom door'' This time it was Harry who laughed, looking over his shoulder towards the children to check if everyone was distracted before speaking something. As much as they were already 23,17,15 and 13 years old and, as Merlin protected them, Teddy and James had already made it clear that they knew what sex was (Albus never said anything, but Harry had given him the talk, so, his mind was calm. And Lily was Ginny's job.), they never liked it when their parents talked about it. Especially if it was about them having sex.
‘’But it’s never too much to reinforce. Having sex on a boat is totally different. Do you think we managed to sneak around like teenagers and have sex up here?'' Ginny shrugged, biting her red-painted lip as she watched the four children (they would always be, for them) argue over whether or not it was trickery to use magic to to fish
‘’We can lock them down until everything is ready’’ Harry smiled, happier than ever ‘’They will definitely sleep through the night anyway. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Albus swim so much in life’’ He nodded at the memory of his son betting who would go further with Lily, who narrowly won
"Is that a yes, then?" He pulled her closer, feeling the soft shorts she wore and then the bare skin of her thick thighs, as well as the skin of her belly, as Ginny still wore the beautiful bikini white that made her breasts look too dazzling - which resulted in them having a quickie in the bathroom.
‘’It’s always a yes when it comes to having sex with you’’ Before Harry could do anything, they were interrupted
‘’Ewwww !!! Don't say that word when we're all here!” Albus grunted loudly and irritated, with what appeared to be a fish in his hands ‘’This is disrespectful’’ Now all three others were paying attention to them, with a frown on their faces
‘’What do you want, Al?’’ Ginny still seemed to want to laugh, but kept her face serious, and Harry tried his best not to show his disappointment at having to walk away from his wife
‘’I would call you to dinner, but now, my appetite has passed’’ James got up quickly from where he was, running over to his brother and taking the fish from his hands, very determined
‘’If your hunger is over, good, because ours isn’t’’ Teddy nodded from afar, pulling another fish with the fishing rod that looked bewitched, placing it in a bucket full of water. ‘’Now, can the couple stop talking obscenities for a moment at least? Aren't three kids enough already?’’ Harry shrugged, putting his arm around Ginny’s waist and pulling her close again
''I thought you already understood that it's not always to procreate'' James and Albus gaped, while Lily feigned a retching next to Teddy who was laughing out loud, causing the new fish in his hand to escape and return to the sea
‘’This is disgusting, I think I’m going to throw myself out to sea right now’’ The older one left, followed by the other brother, who looked like he was about to ask Teddy to obliviate him. Harry joined Ginny in laughter, happy that he might have a chance to cause this discontent in his children. It was always the best time.
‘’Are you happy?’’ She asked him, looking at the children and then at him, lacing her fingers in hims and kissing the wedding ring that would never leave his finger
''I have never been happier than when I am at home'' Even if his children bothered him, or if he needed to deal with his children's amorous disappointments (which were not few), and eventually they fought because there were so many nerves on, Harry would never trade his life with anyone else. He would still do everything the same.
‘‘We’re not home’’ Harry shrugged, kissing Gin’s forehead and smiling at her
''Wherever you are, it's my home.'' The woman blushed furiously, but rolled her eyes and laughed, because she was still his Ginny and would never miss the chance to laugh at his silly face in love, even if with almost 20 years of marriage and many declarations of love along the way.
‘‘Shut up’‘

True Happiness
Tumblr media
A/N: Hi there,thank you for requesting this sweet prompt and I’m sorry this took too long to be done. Hope you liked it. ^w^ PS. I had to repost this because tumblr messed up the first post TvT
Pairing: Tom Hiddleston x Reader WC: 1,312 Warning: Angst and some fluff
Tumblr media
It’s been a while since you got the chance to enjoy the outside for yourself. You’re lucky that your best friend Emma visited home and asked you to go out with her to have coffee and catch up. You had so much fun especially when the two of you went to the places that hold so many memories of your childhood. She was sad to learn that your favorite tree was cut down because it was struck by lightning one stormy night.
“I’ll miss this tree. We used to always stay here don’t we? It shades us so well we can have a refreshing nap every time we get home from school.” She said as she looked at the spot where it used to stand high and proud.
“It was a really sad moment but it’s the safest choice.” You stared at the same spot but remembering a different moment. What you see is a younger version of you and a certain tall and painfully handsome man. His kisses behind the said tree and his beautiful voice and the promises he whispered…
Sighing, you urged Emma to head back to their house as it was getting late.
As you approached Emma’s parent’s house you smiled. You can hear a certain kid's sweet laughter. Well you're glad that you’re not the only one having a great time.
“Oh the kid’s must have a wonderful time too.” she giggled as she opened the door.
With a smile plastered on your face you went in to see your kid. Emma’s mom was nice enough to offer to look after the children as the two of you went out.
“Willy Mum’s back.” You said as you looked around the living room. But it was empty besides some toys scattered around the carpeted floor.
“Hmm maybe they are in the kitchen. You go ahead, I'll just clean up here.” Emma said and you did. As you got near it a voice made you slow down.
It can’t be…
H-he’s here? And Willy is here too!
Heartbeat spiking up you hurriedly went in the kitchen and there he is...the man that had been in your dreams for years, the face you see everytime you close your eyes and when you stare at a certain green eyed boy.
“Mum!!” Willy’s excited voice woke you up from your trance.
“Mum?” Tom asked, looking at William and then at you.
“Yes, she’s my best mum!” Willy said as he wiggled down from the kitchen counter where Tom was holding him secured.
“I-I’m your only mum, sweetheart.”responding with your usual answer whenever he says that phrase but stuttering as you do so. You can feel Tom’s eyes on you as you kiss your kid’s forehead. “How’s your playdate with Lizzy and Sofie?”
“It was fun!” he answered smiling wide.”they fell asleep fast mum, so mister tom is helping me get a snack bitoz my tummy is crying.”
“That’s wonderful. Now go and clean you things so that we can head home.” you told him and he did as you said.
“Willy is yours?” Tom asked, staring at you intensely it made your knees weak.
“Yes…” you answered looking down at your feet. This is one of your worst fears.
“He told me he’s turning five...that means...at that party five years ago...” he looked at you angrily. “You told me nothing happened!” he whispered angrily.
Tom is a smart man. Also if you look at Willy properly it’ll be too obvious.
“I...I couldn't. You can’t even remember what happened the night b-before.” you said, tears starting to fill your eyes. “I was ashamed. It all happened because we are drunk and you are about to head out for another big project, and when I learned I am pregnant I had no courage to react to you, I didn't want to destroy those chances for you Tom...I just can’t.” you look up to see him standing in front of you breathing heavily. His hand went up and you flinched thinking hell hit you. He looked very angry.
“Oh darling...I’ll never hurt you.” He said smoothly as his hand went to pull you towards his warm embrace. “I-I just...I can’t believe this.” putting some space between the two of you he looked at you.
“I’m so sorry.” you said to him sincerely. You hated that so many chances were wasted just because you got scared but you can’t help it. He’s very famous now and respected by many. Turning up suddenly with a belly carrying his kid will surely destroy all the things he worked hard for. You can’t… you couldn't do that to him...You just accepted that William is a gift given to you for the love you can never have.
“Don’t apologize, Y/n. This is harder for you I am certain of it. If you’ll let me though I would love to be a part of his life.” he said, caressing your cheeks making you lean on his touch more as an automatic response. He smiled seeing how things never changed. You’re his sweet angel, time away did not change that.
“I-I tried...I did try to be the best for him so that he won’t look for a father...b-but I don’t think I have the right to deny him that.” you answered as he kissed your knuckles repeatedly saying thank yous. The touch of his soft lips made your face heat up.
“Y/n… I believe this as destiny slapping me with reality.” he said getting down on one knee in front of you. Hands gripping yours tightly. Your breathing hitch as you stare at him. The man you considered as unreachable is now kneeling for you.
“T-thomas...what are you doing?” you asked but he only smiled at you sweetly.
“I-I left you before thinking that I’ll be chasing my dream without realizing I end up leaving it behind...leaving you behind.” he brought your left hands to his lips leaving little kisses on our palm that brought up goosebumps on your body. “Learning about Willy made me realize where my true happiness is...will you accept me back in your life my love? I’m tired of missing you.” he stammered a little as he brought your right hand to his lips doing the same gesture.
“Oh goodness Thomas, it’s what I had dreamed for a long time.” your heart feels like it's going to explode. Tears started to flow from your eyes as you looked at his handsome face that is also wet from his own tears.
“Thank you darling. I love you, I had never stopped loving you. And is it weird that I love Willy so much already? I feel like my heart is about to explode.” he brushed his hands on his curly hair as he giggled before he stared at you intensely and held your cheeks. “I’ve longed to feel your sweet lips, will you let me?” he asked, touching your lips with his thumb. You only nodded closing your eyes. You felt his lips on yours as he kissed you slowly savoring every touch of each other's lips. He was about to deepen it when you both heard a little voice.
“Ewwww.” Willy said, covering his eyes and turning around to run back towards the living room of his grandparent’s house. You and Tom stared a each other shocked before you both ended up laughing hard. Oh poor sweet Willy.
“Are you ready to be introduced to your mini me?” you asked him as he hugged you still laughing.
“Ready as I can be.” he nervously said but he still smiled at you lovingly. “I love you Y/N, thank you for this gift.”
Kissing him quickly you tugged at his arm. It’s time for little William Tobias Hiddleston to meet his father.
-----
Happy reading :) Comments and reblogs are very much appreciated.

The truth was hidden there all along.
"IZZY , JAMES GET UP NOW !" You shouted from the bottom of the stairs . This is the third time you have called for them your patience is wearing thin
"YOUR GOING TO BE LATE FOR DAY CARE !"
You took a deep breath and hung your head low as you rested against the handles of the stairs
"CHRIS IS GOING TO BE HERE ANY MINUTE AND HE WONT TAKE YOU IF YOUR NOT DOWN HERE BY THE TIME HE WALKS THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR "
That line works most times , considering your children love your partner more then there love you . Funny how the fun one gets more love then the person who brought them into the world .
"YOUR MOMS RIGHT JELLY BEAN IM WAITING " a deep voice boomed from behind you making you jump
"Oh shit !"you placed your hand over your heart
"Watch your languages darling " chris smirked
"Dont scare me then " you turned to him slapping his chest .he caught it and pulled you into his chest and slammed his lips fo yours .
"Ewwwee " followed by tiny stomps down the stairs
"Chris !" A high pitched squeal from your three year old daughter Izzy as she run down the stairs
"Izzy dont ... "chris panic voice came through allows for the air in his chest it he punched out and izzy jumped into his arms squealing
"Chris ! Chris ! Chris !" She did a little wiggle in his arms
"Oh I see some one is now awake "you shook your head
You turned your head and looked up at the top of the stairs to see your 7 year old son james standing there with his arms across .
"Come on james . I need to take you to school while chris takes izzy "
"You too finished " he snarled stomping his way down the stairs
"Finished what?" You scrunched up your face turning to chris , who just shrugged, dragging izzy upside down as if it was nothing.
James was the final steps and narrowed his eyed at chris and pointed his finger at him. Making chris instantly stop what he was doing and paying full attention to the little boy
"You mister .... I never want to see that again " his voice was stern but still high pitched
Chris looked at you with scared eyes "do what son ?" He asked
You just looked at the two of them ,as james browns hair was sticking all over over the place . Your heart fluttered when chris "son " but was replaced by guilt quickly
"Kissing my mamma with out asking " his voice was stern and very serious
Chris looked shocked upon the young boy and turned to you .
"Yeah chris you should of asked first " you teased
"But ... baby .." Chris looked like a kicked puppy as James made his way down the final steps and stood in front of Chris who was still holding his sister as she played with hair in her small hands
"You need to ask next time . You got that mister "
Chris nodded still shocked with his mouth open
"Good !" And with that he made his way into the kitchen , as Chris put Izzy down to follower her brother .
"Wh..what just happend?" Chris shook his head making his way to you ,placing a hand on the small of your back .
"You just got a scolding form my son" you grinned up at him
"Yep that boy is 100% your son " chris chuckled placing a kiss on your cheek . And there was the guilt eating up at you again . Always parizling you from the truth . And it hurts, it eating at you but you dont know what the outcome would be if you told the truth
"WHAT DID I JUST SAY! "
Chris put his hands up in her air and started walk over to the kitchen
"Now who wants porridge " he clasped his hands together
"Ewwwwe no PANCAKES " Izzy screamed the last part at the top of her lungs. You simple stood there at the side lines and watched
You were so thankful to have chris in your life . You and him have been friends for years at least a decade, you've had your ups and downs, your fazes through out your friendship . In the time you had James he was not around busy with life as yours being to change . But when Izzy came around and you were all on your own he came back in and become a permanent part in your life .
You remind sticky friends during your pregnancy and first few months of Izzy being born .
But as you spent more time with him, the feeling you always had for him were become stronger and in no time you and him were together. Officially. Not like it used to be in the past . When you were just friends with extra when it suited him .
And Chris was fine with you being a single mom . After Izzy "and " James father left you for someone else after months of cheating .
Chris adored your children . Chris is the only father figure Izzy know . Hell he even named her Isabella he wanted to use the nickname Bell but Izzy just stuck more .
And that what made the guilt even stronger as your past is strong and complicated your so scared it will effect your future you would not dare tell a soul. It could either make your family or tear it apart. 
“baby you coming ?” chris snapped you out of your thoughts
“oh yeah “
**************************************************************************************

“umm i ..” i didnt know what to say , this is the first she has ever asked anything like this and your not here to have an answer. I dont want to say something that will upset you .

my heart pumped first at her confession as her little doll eyes glassed over , along with her being adorable not being able to speak quite right yet 
“awd i aswed her what a daddy does , awd she saiw that a daddy looks after you and does everthing a momma does . And you do that , so why do we callw you Chris awd not daddy ?”
now my eyes were glossing over , i looked over at the clock on the dash bord and saw we had a bit of extra time before she needs to be at school , so i pulled over and switched the engine off . i undone my belt and turned to face the little one . 
“jelly bean .. i “ i began to chock on my words 
“its just that i may be here but im not you daddy , not properly  “
her lip began to trembel as a small tear escaped her little blue eyes 
“soo your ... your pretenting !”she whispered , my heart stopped 
“what no ... no bean not at all . i Love you and James as if i was your daddy “
“but your not ?“she titled her head

The Dating Form: #13
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
__ Y/N's POV ____________________________
This man keeps on staring at me, I think this is the guy I'm meant to be going on a date with. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking? Cause...
Where did Seungkwan find this man? Like I just want to know. I actually need a minute to take it in. He's so good looking. Like so good looking that I usually don't get caught up with looks but he's just so handsome.
Oh, he's walking over here. Is it actually me?
Okay he's in front of me. Time to panic. I mean not panic, let's be cool.
"Hi"
"Hi"
"Are you the friend of Seungkwan? The one he made a dating form for?" He asks and I nod.
I offer my hand for a handshake - this isn't an old move right? - and say "Hi, yes that's me. My name's Y/N, lovely to meet you".
He chuckles lightly, and responds "my bad, I was expecting a hug". He takes my hand and gives it a shake.
"Oh and my name's Mingyu, I'm nice to meet you too" he says, slightly blushing now.
Oh my god, he's so cute.
"Have you been here before?" He asks and I shake my head and respond "Nope, which is surprising cause I like finding new places".
"You're going to love it then, come on, let's head inside" Mingyu says, holding my hand and we head to the front.
"Did you two have a reservation?" The waiter asks us both. I look up at him, oh my god, is he actually this tall? I've never felt so small in my life.
"Yes we do, table for two for Mingyu" he says and the waiter gestures for us to follow him.
Oh we're going upstairs.
Oh and again.
Oh my god it's the rooftop, it's stunning.
As we reach our table, he slightly pulls out the chair for me. I sit down and he pushes the chair back towards the table. Wow like a gentleman. I don't think anyone's done that for me.
"Is everything okay?" Mingyu asks me and adds "You seem pretty quiet".
I really haven't been in a date in a while, I'm getting stuck in my thoughts rather than being present in the moment.
"Oh yeah, I'm okay, sorry... It's just been a while since I've been on a date and I forget how overwhelming it is" I say and he smiles at me.
"Same here, I'm not the type to date often"
Oh that's interesting, I thought for sure he'd get so many dates. Like look at him. He looks so good in that black shirt right now.
"Why's that?" I ask him.
"Well, I'm happy as is, I got my mates and my family. I only applied for that dating form since I've seen you around campus and I didn't have the courage to ask you out in person" he says and adds "I guess what I'm trying to say, being single isn't so bad, but you're making me question my choices".
Okay bold.
And open.
And honest.
And values the people in his life.
And is happy and not desperate.
Swoon.
I ask "where have you seen me at campus?".
I actually have not seen him around. Surely.
"You're in my economics class and my accounting for business class" he says.
"NO WAY! surely I would've seen you around" I say and he laughs.
"I sit next to Wonwoo and he tells me you dated his best friend and you've been avoiding him because since you and his friend broke up" he explains. He's not wrong, until recently, I've been trying to avoid Wonwoo.
I'm working really hard to get over Jihoon I guess.
"Oh.. you're right there. I'm sorry, I should've at least said hi"
"Don't worry about it, it seems like you're determined to move on and that's why you were being distant from any connection to your ex. It's actually good to see, some people get too caught up in the past and what they could've done better" he says. He's not wrong.
Oh no... It's too silent.
Think of something quick.
"So dark, milk or white chocolate?" I ask, hurriedly. WHY DID I DO THAT?
He chuckles at me and I blush again.
"Random, but milk chocolate" he says.
"Ewwww no get out of here, dark chocolate is where it's at"
"Hey look at it this way, more dark chocolate for you if we need to share"
"oooh good point, I like that"
"I shouldn't be so bothered because I'm here with you, but our waiter has literally forgotten about us up here and hasn't given us a menu" He says.
"Honestly I haven't noticed, I'm too busy enjoying the convo" I say and he blushes now.
"Wow my cheeks are so warm" He says openly and I chuckle.
"Cute"
"Stop that, you'll make it worse, I'll overheat" he says, laughing with me.
"Hi excuse me, could we get a menu?"
__ Mingyu's POV _______________________
This date has been perfect. I've learnt so much about her and her about me. We get along so well.
She's spoken about Seungkwan. Spoke about dancing. Also, she knows Hao which is so cool like everyone's connected in a way.
She's heard about my mum and dad, and how I'm friends with Wonwoo, Vernon, Hao and Chan.
"Tell me about your family" I ask and she fiddles her thumbs a bit before beginning.
"Well, my main family is just my brother" she says to me.
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that" I say. She must've lost her parents to something.
"Oh no it's okay, like my parents are alive at least, it's just my brother and I didn't have a good relationship with either of them and they divorced recently too. We meet up like once a year but that's it" she explains.
"What happened?" I ask her.
"It's a long story" she warns me.
"I got all night"
"Well... Before all of this, my parents fought a lot, they fought more than even looking after my brother, Seungcheol, and I. Instead, it was my brother who looked after me more than my parents. I think my parents only stayed together for appearances, they always wanted us to look like the perfect family even if we weren't." She says and sighs.
"My brother went out to one party one time and got like really wasted. So wasted, he hooked up with this girl but someone caught them two and recorded them" she says and adds "especially with the family temper, we all kind of get angry easily, my brother ended up bashing up the person who recorded the video at school" she explains.
"My parents found out about the whole thing since the school had to let them know" Y/N states then adds "when they got home, my dad started throwing Seungcheol's stuff out the door and my mum didn't even want to help, she didn't even want her own son to stay, I started panicking as I didn't know where my brother would go".
"luckily his best friend could house him for a while but as soon as my brother was financially stable, he got an apartment and asked me to move out with him" she says.
"I think it took him a year but it was definitely worth it" she says and adds "him and I also owe his friend our lives".
"He helped us out so much, it was such a rough point in our lives" Y/N says.
"Wow, that's a lot to take in... I wasn't expecting that" I say to her and she nods.
"Yeah, so my main family, is just my brother and probably his best friend" she says. I couldn't imagine having that happen to me.
She remains quiet and I just sit and take everything in.
I lean over the table and she mimics my actions. The wind blows a piece of her hair in front of her face and I tuck it behind her ear.
"This date has been so good, you've made things so easy for me, thank you" she says, quietly. Wow, that quiet voice is so attractive.
"You're welcome, thank you for giving me a chance" I say, matching her vocal volume and she smiles at me.
The way the lights are illuminating her face are just adding to her good looks.
The smile slowly fades but she's still looking at me intensely. She looks down, away from my eyes. And back up again, biting her own lip. That's so hot.
"I want to kiss you so bad"
Oh my god.
Do I go for it?
Is it the right time?
"but I think you should work for it a little more" she says, chuckling, leaning away from the table.
"You're killing me" I say and she laughs a little more.
"Next date, just wait, you'll be swept off your feet with my cooking" I say and she gasps.
"Wait you know how to cook?" She asks me and I nod.
"And I know how to cook good, my mom taught me" I say and she throws her head back.
"What is this perfect man in front of me? I'm being tested so bad" she says and I laugh.
"You still have other dates, you know?" I say and she nods.
"and a part of me wants to risk it all right now and tell Seungkwan to not bother with the other dates... But I've jumped into a relationship before and regretted it. I got to get to know you more." she admits.
"I get it honestly, take your time, I'd rather you sure that I'm the one for you, then you doubting us whilst being in a relationship with me"
"ughhh you're too good"
___ y/n's pov ___________________________
"You didn't have to split the bill you know? I could've covered for the both of us" Mingyu mentions as we head out of the restaurant.
"No, it's fine, I would've felt bad if I let you pay for both of us" I say and he smiles. See, he liked that I covered for myself.
"Did you want me to walk you home?" He asks.
"If it's not a bother, then yes please" I say and he grabs my hand. I start walking towards my apartment and he moves me to the side of the crosswalk away from the road.
Cute, he's keeping me safe.
"I don't want this night to end, but we have classes tomorrow" Mingyu says and I nod.
"Gotta love that 10 in the morning start" I say and he chuckles.
"Are you a morning person or a night owl?" He asks me.
"Morning person, love the quiet rise of the sun and people. You?"
"Night owl" he says and adds "I like how alone you can be in the middle of night, or you can choose to get lit and have fun".
"I always struggle staying up though unless I'm getting lit at a party"
"Don't worry, I can keep you up" he says, winking.
Oh no, don't test me.
"I u-um uh I-"
"Cute" he says.
"You're really blushing" he adds and pokes my cheek softly.
"You caught me off guard" I say and he responds "that's exactly what I wanted".
"Don't worry though, I won't do anything you don't want me to do" he whispers in my ear.
Love me a man of consent.
Oh, we are near my place already, nooo.
All of a sudden, I get pulled into the convenience store.
"Ice cream run!" He says and heads to the freezer aisle. I laugh. He's so cute.
I follow him and he wraps his arms around my shoulders, hugging me from behind.
I feel so warm.
And happy.
"Which one do you want? My shout, full stop" he asks me.
"You won't let me object, will you?"
"If you object, you have to give me a kiss" he responds.
"Okay I won't object"
His arm from shoulder moves down to hold my waist as he gets his ice cream.
"This one is my favorite" he says.
I grab a green tea ice-cream as he holds the freezer door open for me. He closes the door and I hug him tightly to warm my body up and he hugs me back.
Mingyu chuckles as I stay there hugging him. I can hear his heartbeat, it's beating so fast. Am I getting him nervous? I pull away and he grabs my hand again and goes to pay for the ice cream.
___ Mingyu's POV ______________________
So this is it.
The front of her apartment.
The end of the date.
"I really enjoyed tonight, it was perfect" she says and adds "besides the whole 'giving our order to the wrong table issue' but it gave us more time to talk".
"I really enjoyed tonight too, like I had a good feeling about you, about us, even before we met. That's probably sounds weird but tonight made me feel like I'm not crazy for crushing on you in class" I say and she begins to unlock her front door.
"I'll see you tomorrow" she says quietly.
"You got something on your cheek"
She turns to face me and asks "what?"
I lean in and wipe the ice cream off her cheek.
She stares up at me and looks at my lips again. She catches me noticing her lips too and smiles.
"Good night Mingyu" she says, kissing my cheek softly.
Holy shit.
The door shuts. I can hear giggles and someone yelling "SO HOW WAS THE DATE?".
I guess it's time for the walk home alone.

A/N: SURPRISE! HOW DID WE FIND THE DATE? I personally don’t know which one I want more,  a brother-sister relationship like Seungcheol and Y/N or a mans like Mingyu? What are your thoughts? Do we like the Mingyu and Y/N dynamic??

Okay, so I wasn’t sure if I was going to say anything about this, but I have to, for my own sanity. Excuse me for my rambling (especially about Castiel) and repeating myself, which I probably will do in this post.
Truth is I only got into Supernatural a little over a year ago. I just kept avoiding it over the years. I think when it was in it’s 7th or 8th season, I thought to myself “oh this should be ending soon. I’ll just wait til its over and watch it then” That did not happen. Jump to last year when I heard about the Scoobynatural episode. I love Scooby so I had to watch. And I loved it. And I really loved Sam and Dean. But I also couldn’t stop thinking about the guy in the trench coat with the deep voice named Castiel. Did very little research to find out he’s an angel. That’s all I wanted to know. Went to netflix and started watching the show from the beginning. By the time I got midway thru season 3 I was hooked. I started buying the dvds in bunches. Watching as much as a I could a week. When I got to season 4 I was Cass on the cover of the boxset and said “that’s him! That’s the angel! He’s in the season!” I actually didn’t know he would show up right in the beginning of the season but when Dean was at that gas station and gas started shattering I thought. That’s him isn’t it? That’s Castiel. Misha’s actual entrance on the show is the best in history. I do love Sam and Dean but I’m not going to lie and pretend like Castiel isn’t my favorite. Because he is. I adore that awkward angel. He is the reason I happily kept watching and brought all the dvds because I knew Misha was still working on the show. He is the reason I will buy season 15. I started shipping Destiel in season 5 but when I re-watched the series (Yes I watched it twice in less than a year. One over a period of several months the other over a few weeks before the show came back after hiatus.) I saw moments in season 4 that i missed the first time around.
So yes this finale makes me cry and not in a good way. although there are a few saving graces.
Let’s begin.
First let me start by saying I do not in any way blame the actors. Especially Jensen. He said he thought the ending was bad and had to be talked into it. Dean/Jensen deserved better. I blame the writers and producers and The CW
Second, repeat after me:
Cass is in heaven with Dean
Cass is in heaven with Dean
Cass is in heaven with Dean
Cass is in heaven with Dean
Now speaking of Castiel, who I mostly want to talk about before addressing the rest of this mess. Castiel/Misha deserved better. There really is no reason Misha couldn’t be in the final episode unless there was something on his end. Although seeing that he recently went to California to shoot a something for Amazon and took West to the Winchester House. He can definitely travel. But if there was some reason on his end, then okay, fine then. However that doesn’t excuse the way the handled his character in these last two episodes.
Yes in 15x19 Dean demands Chuck bring Cass back. Dean remembers Cass’s words when Chuck calls him the ultimate killer. Yes, Dean runs to the door when he thinks Cass has just called him. Instead in was Lucifer. What a slap in the face to the fans and an insult to Misha after that beautiful confession of love.
But the end of the episode. Jack becomes God and no one says “What about Cass?”
Now 15x20. Sam brings up Castiel and Dean is just like “move on“. No, That is not Dean. No matter what Dean cared about Castiel, to the point that being without him in the past led him to depression. i understand he doesn’t want Castiel’s sacrifice to be in vein. But come on. There’s living on and being happy and then there’s acting like the guy didn’t matter. Again, no. That is not Dean. Not after all the development those two have had. I know Dean wasn’t always perfect when it came to Cass but he did care. What happened to “We lost everything. Now you’re going to bring him back” What happened to the purgatory apology and admitting his anger issues. And so much more.
Again Castiel is in heaven. Jack got him out of The Empty. But they could of made it more clear. ( I swear, if they are leaving this up to interpretation....) Because I see so many people who have “conveniently” missed what Bobby said and insist he’s still in The Empty. Or just want to say “well that’s not what he meant. Cas is still dead, he just meant his influence on Jack” or some shit like that.(Now that I think about maybe influence isn’t the right word to use with this fandom lol)
Anyway lets say that Misha could not in anyway be there for filming. YOU CAN STILL ADDRESS HIS CHARACTER PROPERLY AND GIVE HIM A SATISFYING ENDING. In fact you barely have to change the scene between Dean and Bobby just add a few more lines.
Dean: “So Jack did all that?”
Bobby: “Well Cass helped”
Dean: “Wait, Cass is here?!”
Bobby: ‘Yep, Kid got him out.”
Dean: “Well where is he? Can I see him?”
Bobby (smiling): “Now calm down ya idjit. He’ll be back soon. Had some business to take of. But he is planning to stick around here with the rest of us.’
Dean (smiling, happy because he’s getting a second chance): Good. He belongs with us. With me. (takes a drink) It’s just too bad...
Bobby (knowing he’s talking about Sam: “Don’t worry he’ll be here shortly...”
Scene plays out as normal but instead when Sam and Dean are reunited. Dean tells him “Let’s head back, Mom, Dad, Bobby, and Cass are waiting for us. Along with everyone else we loved and lost when we were alive.”
Or... a few scenarios with Castiel there (even for a few moments)
1. When Dean dies (yeah we’ll talk about that) Jack sends down Cass to take him to heaven. Dean leaves his body. Watches as Sam falls apart and then hears “Hello Dean” turns and there’s Cass to guide him to heaven and also let him know Sam will be okay and will live a happy life”
2. The scene with Bobby starts the way it did but instead after he says “Well Cass helped” he points behind Dean.
Cass: “Hello Dean.”
Dean: “Cas! Aw, it’s good to see you. You have no idea.”
They embrace. Maybe the say something about the confession maybe they don’t but at least they’re together and we know that they have time to talk.
Episode continues as it did but again Dean tells Sam that Castiel is here waiting for them.
3. Episode plays exactly as it did. Except at the very end after Sam and Dean reunite on the bridge...
Cass: “Hello Dean. Hello Sam”
Both: Cass!
The three hug. Dean a bit longer.
Dean: “Well look at that. Team Free Will back together again. This time forever.”
In any scenario Castiel is living in heaven with the boys. Him and Dean eventually talk about what happened. In my canon Dean returns his feelings but even if he can’t it’s okay because Dean does care about Cass. And Castiel’s happiness was just in being able to say it. Either way they’re together along with everyone else they love and will be waiting for those who haven’t arrived yet.
Also Cass finally gets his guinea pig. Because he deserves it.
ONCE AGAIN, EVEN IF MISHA COULDN’T BE THERE. THERE WERE STILL BETTER WAYS TO HANDLE THIS ENDING! OH AND THERE BETTER NOT BE SOME LAME ASS THING LIKE ‘HE’S IN HEAVEN WORKING WITH JACK BUT ISN’T ALLOWED HERE BECAUSE THE NEW GOD LIKES TO KEEP ANGELS SEPARATE FROM THE REST OF US’
NO. CASTIEL IS DEFINITELY WITH DEAN IN HEAVEN. END OF STORY.
Moving on the other problems which I won’t go into full detail in like I did Castiel.
Dean’s death. The ever loving fuck was that? A nail?! I get that they finally get to call the shots in there own lives now but come on! A nail. And this is what a few weeks after defeating Chuck. Who, if he wants to can have a happy life. You know when Cass heard about this he rolled his eyes. Like “Really?!”
Ewwww that forehead touch. I know for most people it’s just a sweet final moment between two siblings as one dies. But we all know this is fuel for the Winc*sters and b*bros. I mean come on now. You’re afraid to have Dean even acknowledge Castiel’s feelings but a forehead touch that can and will be taken out of context as romantic between two brothers is fine and dandy. I was watching this with my Mom and even she was like “That forehead touch,,, why.. just why...”
Funny thing about my Mom. (Sorry not sorry going back to talk about Cass for a moment) She has been watching SPN with me this year but honestly only (not even) half paid attention. She has a habit of always looking at her phone even when it’s something she wants to watch. Two weeks ago after 15X18 I asked “Do you believe Cass’s confession was romantic?”
Her response. “No, they’re just friends. Angels aren’t supposed to feel romantic love.’ We get into a small argument.
A few days later...
Me: “Misha confirmed it was romantic.”
Mom: “Oh, well that settles it then. I just was taught that angels didn’t feel that kind of love.”
Me: “Yeah but your forgetting a few things. 1. Cass isn’t like other angels and 2. This is a fictional tv show not the actual bible.
Mom laughs: “Good point, Guess I didn’t think about that.”
Me: “Y’know people are actually saying  that Cass can’t be gay or bi because Dean isn’t.”
Mom: “That’s stupid. One has nothing to do with the other. Even if Dean doesn’t feel the same way that doesn’t change Castiel’s feelings.”
Jump to the last few days.
Mom: “Cass is going to show up in the finale. He and Dean will be reunited! Maybe he’s one of those people in the masks being controlled by The Empty. Or maybe there will be a scene in the barn where Dean is on the ground about to be stabbed and Cass saves him in the knick of time!”
Mom after the finale: “That was terrible. Very disappointed. They really couldn’t get Misha for few minutes. They better not use covid as an excuse with all those people on that bridge. Everything about this episode felt wrong” (she said that about 15x19 too). (Grabs her phone to look at twitter) “Misha is crying. This episode doesn’t deserve pie.”
We brought pie. We did not eat it.
Moving on.. .yeah yeah the wig on Jared was awful. But who cares. What I want to know is who is the mother? Is it Eileen? I hope it’s Eileen. It better be Eileen.
The barn. Why? Why that barn? Did they really think no one would notice. I get reusing sets and locations as completely different places. But that just hurt.
Did we need so many songs with no dialogue being spoken. I mean yes Carry On was a must have but so much time could’ve been spent talking about other characters during the other songs .
And again why are they trying to make Dean look bad. It’s not his/Jensen’s fault it’s the horrible writing of these final two episodes. Why did they not take to opportunity to talk about Castiel’s confession. Yes I’m  back on Cas again. I warned you. Also he’s probably the main reason you’re reading this anyway, so yeah...
I would like to believe a conversation happened off screen but the way Sam and Dean acted it doesn’t seem like it.
Again would it be so hard. Two scenarios
1.
Dean: “Before Cass got dragged into the Empty he told me...
Sam: :Told you what?”
Dean: He told me... he told me he loved me.”
Sam (smiling): “That’s not news Dean,”
Dean: “No Sammy. He really loved me... like... you know..”
Sam: “Again, not news Dean. How do you feel? “
Dean (hesitates): “ I think... no, I know I love him too. He’s the only man I’ll ever love.”
Sam: “Well you know technically Cass really isn’t male... so...
Dean: “Oh please Sammy. Could you imagine Cass in any other body? Especially a chicks. It would be so weird.”
Sam: “Good point.”
Dean: “Besides, he was perfect the way he was.”
2.
Dean: “Before Cass got dragged into the Empty he told me...
Sam: :Told you what?
”Dean: He told me... he told me he loved me.”
Sam (smiling): “That’s not news Dean,”
Dean: “No Sammy. He really loved me... like... you know..”
Sam: “Again, not news Dean. How do you feel? “
Dean: “I can’t return his feelings. I see him as a man and you know I’m attracted to women.”
Sam: “Alright then.”
Dean. “But y’know...”
Sam: “Hmmm?”
Dean: “I still miss him. I wish he was here with us.”
There were so many easy ways to fix this and they did nothing. Did they not think 15x18 would have a huge impact. I really hope the writers are kicking themselves for this. Funny, by ignoring Castiel and his feelings they actually brought more attention and love to him and Misha.
I really don’t know if a rewrite and reshoot for the dvd release is possible. Has that ever been done, I feel like it has but I’m not sure. But if it is. Fix it. It only took a few weeks to film these last two episodes. I’m sure all the actors can come back to film for a few weeks. Once there are less Covid restrictions of courses. I know there’s been talk about a possible movie. That could fix it. As long as they bring back the angel in the trench coat. Or how about a bonus episode for the dvd 15x21 where everyone is gathered in heaven. Sam, Dean, Cass, Bobby, Mary, John, Kevin, Charlie, Eileen, Jo, Ellen, Pam. Even Crowley and Rowena because why not. Oooh and Meg too because she did sacrifice herself for them and also I just love her.  Anyway they all gather and talk about old times. Perfect excuse for an old fashion clip show. Funny/heartwarming banter in between. Make Destiel canon at the end. Another possible way to fix it is do a comic book season or even just a few issues to flesh out the ending in heaven. Just fix it.
At least we have fanfiction.
If there are any positives to take away it’s this:
1: Castiel is in heaven with Dean. They are together. They have a second chance.
2. It was said only 30% of the fanbase would like this ending. Like many people I assumed that meant a Destiel ending. Cause I thought out of the whole fanbase shippers were in the minority. Nope turns of the the Winc*sters/B*bros are the 30%. Destiel fans, Cass fans, Misha fans are part of the 70% who hate this. Though why you would want to only please 30% of your fanbase is beyond me.
3. Sam was able to live a long happy life without being codependent on his brother.
I absolutely hated the last two episodes and how this show ended. Again the only saving grace is knowing Jack got Castiel out of The Empty and he and Dean reunited in heaven. But no matter how much I hated 99% of the ending. I still love this show and all it’s characters. I will happily go back and watch it over again to relive the good, funny, sad, bittersweet moments. The final 90 minutes of the series is not going to ruin that for me. I love Sam and Dean but Castiel is my favorite and I will happily go back and enjoy everything about his character. I am not going  to let this ruin Supernatural for me. Next summer I am going to my first SPN Convention and I can’t wait. I may have only discovered the greatness of Supernatural a year ago after avoiding it for so long but I want it to stay apart of my life. Like I said I only got into Supernatural a little over a year ago but this hurt my heart so much I only imagine how those of your who’ve been here for over a decade feel.
I know this was very, very long and I probably actually forgot some things I wanted to say. But I’m tired.
Cass and Dean are in heaven together. I believe they are canon 💙💚

Dear Homophobic Parents....
Tumblr media
Last Sunday, I was in the kitchen preparing a meal and anticipating Black Excellence on BET. It’s been many years since I watched a BET Awards Show. I had a nostalgic moment. I remembered watching the BET Awards with my parents and being in amazement of the live performances. I reminisced seeing the sexiness of the Black Woman’s curvy shape in beautiful attire and lusting over the masculinity of Black Men who came to either rap poetry or swoon R&B. This Sunday was no different than the other Sundays in the past. Now, as a parent, I was excited to relive those moments with my 9 year old son.
We were about two hours into the BET Awards show after eating dinner and dancing to the latest hit songs and my one and only son was talking my ears off in excitement about the music and the performers. He was amazed at Black Excellence as I was at his age. I poured another glass of Ciroc and pineapple juice when I heard the announcer say, “Next Up, Lil Nas X!” I immediately felt some type of way. It was the way that a mother bear reacted when her baby cubs were in danger. The way that a mother raised hell at the school when she felt her child was being mistreated. The way that a mother takes up for her child who was bullied for being different. The way that a mother watched over her child at a playground. I didn’t know what this feeling was, but I felt it was to protect his innocent ears and eyes.
I was no stranger to Lil Nas X and his recent transformation. His first musical hit “Old Town Road” serenaded my son’s ears two years ago and it was a bop! I even liked it. All the children around the world kept that song on repeat and helped Lil Nas X rise to fame. Since then, without my son’s knowledge, Lil Nas X’s appearance changed. I watched him announce his homosexuality, the infamous “Satanic Shoes”, and the music videos that slowly but surely got a little…..weirder. My son joyfully announced that he was ready to see Lil Nas X.
“Lil Nas X! Yes! I love his music Mom!”
I remained quiet as I didn’t know how to handle how I felt about my son seeing him perform. It wasn’t that I didn’t want my son to be educated about homosexuality, I just wasn’t prepared to discuss it. My adorable curly haired son didn’t know anything about homosexuality, honestly, I just kept him away from it.  I knew after a shocking performance that Lil Nas X probably had in store, it was time for the conversation. The BET Awards Show resumed, and Lil Nas X showed up on our TV screen, draped in gold Egyptian attire with gold eyeshadow to match. I remained silent, looking over at my son every 5 seconds to catch any facial expressions.
At first, the performance I felt was PG-13 and I continued to tune in, watching Lil Nas X’s hips sway to the music. It was still awkward silence in the living room between us.  My son was zoomed into the whole performance as this was the first time he heard the song, “Montero (Call Me By Your Name).” 3 minutes and 30 seconds into the performance, Lil Nas X was concluding his performance with a grand finale, which I knew would be shocking because let’s be real, that’s who he was. I watched him grab the back of a back up dancer’s head and engage in a deep french kiss with him. That move sent out a panic scream from my son. I looked over and witnessed him turning his eyes away and yelling, “Ewwww.” He repeatedly asked me “Why did he kiss a man? Mom, why did he do that?” At this moment, I knew that I had sheltered my child or was it that I avoided this moment? I wanted to sink into my recliner and continue sipping my ciroc and pineapple.  
Two of my best friends are gay and proud of it. I have a few other friends who are tri-sexual or maybe they are bi-sexual. Let’s just say they have dealt with the same sex and have no true preference. Either way, I never judged them or their actions. I just loved seeing them happy with whomever they loved, shit, I didn’t care if they were with a fucking dog. I am the last person to be homophobic, but watching my son feel distressed in seeing two men kiss on television triggered me. I had to ask myself why. If I were alone watching Lil Nas X’s performance, I wouldn’t have cared. It was something about watching his eyes, watching something that disturbed him.  I didn’t know if I felt upset or if I felt annoyed. It just hit me like a ton of bricks. I wasn’t prepared.
I cut the volume down on the television, which was now on a commercial and tried to calm him down. For the past 9 years, I’ve only exposed and taught him that Mommy and Daddy love each other, that Mommy loves men, and that Men and Women deserve to be together to reproduce and make offsprings as I’ve done with him. At this point, I felt I failed as a parent who should have been exposed this to him sooner. Let’s face it, the internet would have taught him before I did. Had I really been hiding homosexuality and refraining from discussing it?  Sadly, yes, I have.
“Braylon, some people love others who are the same sex as them. Does that make sense?” I asked him.
“Two men together is disgusting!” He exclaimed.
I quickly corrected him. “No, it’s just not what you like, but it’s not disgusting. People have a preference in life, just like you do,” I said.
“I don’t like Lil Nas X anymore Mom,” He pouted.
At this point, I knew he needed time to digest this and I didn’t want to upset him anymore. I proceeded to let him know that same sex relationships are ok and if he doesn’t want to be in one that is ok too.
The rest of the night with us watching The BET Awards was a little mute and cumbersome. I knew that shocked feeling as a child so well. I felt the same way when I saw porn for the first time. I may have even been his age. I just remember feeling disgusted and curious all at the same time. It made me look at the male species differently. It made me curious on why people had sex and how it made them feel. The thin line of the mind of children can be easily influenced or easily nonjudgmental. This was why I felt a certain way about the performance. I tried to decipher which one was Braylon. Would he want to experience kissing a little boy now? Or would he not be judgemental, allowing people to freely love and live their life?
It’s been over a week now since the infamous BET Awards. I wouldn’t change a thing about our experience, but my mindset as a parent. How could I continue to go on allowing my son to see hetrosexual couples kiss on television and not feel as triggered as I did with Lil Nas X? No longer would I allow that to happen. No longer would I remain silent and conceal homosexuality around him.  He deserves to be educated. With Pride Month ending recently, that moment was a life changing eye opener to raise my kid with the knowledge of LGBTQ and the issues that also surround the lifestyle. Discrimination, mental illness, depression, suicide, anxiety, and many more is faced everyday. Wow, what a humbling moment this was for me as a parent to shift my way of thinking.
Dear Homophobic Parents, you may not be homophobic with your gay friend, neighbor, coworker, aquaintance or family member but your biases regarding your child can no longer be tolerated. I encourage you to raise your young Kings and Queens to know that homosexuality is as normal as heterosexuality. Teach them that God is love. Yes, protect your children at all costs, but to shy away from these conversations only hurts them in the long run. Don’t be silent about the realities of the world we live in. Would you still love your child if they came out to you as gay? If you answered yes, then you already have the right mindset.  To the Black Community, who continues to accept the sexual predator, but denies the gay family member, STOP THIS SHIT! To the LBGTQ Community, continue to live your truth and take PRIDE in that!

It was the start of me falling for everyone, it was like any other day. I had turned 20 years of age, and had become what we consider in the middle of teens. My tail never does as I want it to, when I try to hide things or feelings. It always blows my cover, and in training I have started to flirt with this good looking human. I seriously melt when I see him, but how the hell do I tell another guy I like him. What if he dont like me? I know I'm ranting now but it's important I promise. I failed him and I failed my Mom, I failed everyone. As I'm writing this letter I am sitting in a cell waiting for the cultists to end me for being unholy. They call me, well I hope someone reads this as i think i will die today. And yes I'm crying. I can't help it. I'm still a kid, well let me tell you my story then. So if you read it you wont be as stupid as i was.
The start of the story is on my 18th birthday, my mom who cares for me alone had made me a cake. And I was eating it with her, as she told me of my dad, and how the humans had come. And I was a mix of Human and Tabaxi and so on, she misses my dad a lot after he died. So she talks about him on a regular basis, but it's okay if she is happy doing so I don't mind listening to it. And well I had plans today to meet up with a guy that looks amazing, and well we have exchanged looks sometimes and he is going to meet me tonight. But I need to train first. I aint so big on using close combat weapons. I rather like to use bows and crossbows but if i can i like to talk my way out of things. So I use most of my day for training, as a tabaxi I have to be combat ready when I'm around 18 to 20 so yeah. When I'm done with my work out I walk to take a shower and damn that's a long process. Have you tried to get fur dry?It's a nightmare. So when I'm done with my 3 hour long chore of showering for 30 min and using 2h 30 min to not smell like a wet dog. Ewww dogs….. It's time to meet up with Thor, it's night now and I have become smaller than what I was. It happens every night. I think it's due to my father and since he was not a cat, I am probably cursed. Thor doesn't mind, he finds it kinda cute, we are going to meet up by the hill so we can watch the stars together. I walk up there with ease as well. I'm a cat and move easily, not like dogs who walk all over the place sniffing pee. So I sit and wait for him, he is so slow I mean I can wait. I remember seeing him walking in, he looked so good. He has a nice beard and looks like something from a story book from the people up north, he sits down beside me. I can feel my heart beating out of my chest, and he asks me “what I think is up there”. I think a lot and look up, before I'm reminded of all the stories from my mom about dad. “I think my dad is up there watching over me, keeping me safe”. I can feel his hand touching mine, I tell him “that's okay, i feel the same for him”. He pushes me to the ground so I'm on my back, and kisses me. He sits back up and looks at me, I smile and move and kiss him back. It feels wonderful. I feel warm all over and I'm so happy. We smile and part ways after a while, I am so happy I am falling so hard for him. Everything was so good before I failed him.
Some days pass and well we meet up, hidden from everyone else. He decides that we should keep it hidden from everyone, and that's fine for me. He has become more bossy with me, and makes my decisions for me. But that's okay. I am kinda girly anyways, and I like to have someone in control of me. And well im 4*10 120 lbs so I'm small, and I dress kinda cute. So I am not someone who is in charge, It makes me smile just to think of Thor, my big viking. 
But one day I decided I don't know why but that i wanted to be in a dress for him you know female dress. They look so nice, and damn cute and I have the body to be in one. So stupid as i was i got one to be cute to him, my Mom told me i was always special and thats what she loved about me. And helped me get the dress on, we had to cut a hole for the tail tho. As that damn tail always got in the way, but we did and it looked kinda good. So I went to where I knew Thor usually did hang out. I went there and it did not go so well, as his friends were there and when they saw me. They called me alot, “Abomination, Little girl, Loser, ugly”. You know all the bad words, and Thor even made fun of me, and when I tried to run they caught me. And started to beat me up, I don't remember too much as it got black quickly. What I do remember though is Thor hitting me in my face with his friends. I did wake up later. My dress was bloody and ripped apart, I started to cry and ran to the spot where me and Thor first met. And sitting down made me even more sad, as I remembered him. I cried for a long time, before Thor walked up to me and sat down beside me. He told me it was my fault, and I said sorry so many times. He agreed to be with me if I did not behave like that ever again and made it up to him. It made me so happy I kissed his cheek and asked what he wanted, he said I had to get something for him from the smithy. When I asked what he smiled and said a special sword from the smithy, I agreed I just had to get that and he would be mine. I did not have any money though as i know he just wanted a gift, like i am supposed to give him. So i had to steal it, i said i would be back here in 3 hours to him with the sword. It was still night so I could get it, he smiled as I ran off, I know I can do it for him. I'm so lucky to get another chance after embracing him like that. When I'm at the smithy I manage to sneak my way over the fence, but then I see it. The terror itself, the thing that could be compared with the devil himself. Ewwww a small dog, it even looks like a rat. I was close to throwing up in my mouth, and now I have to touch it. I am sure I was close to dying right there and then. But for Thor I would, so I grabbed the dog. Made my skin crawl, as I held over its tiny mouth it started to lick me. I know how disgusting, that tongue has probs been licking buts and poop and pee and ewwwwwwww. But I did it, I moved the dog carefully to another place as it kept licking me all the way. Gives me even the shivers now as I write this while crying, but I move it far enough away. So I could sneak back in, and well when people are stupid enough to let a window be open, I mean it's like an open invitation. I stop and look at the Female sleeping, she is so cute she is older than me tho, must be like 25 to 30 in human years. But I have a mission, so I go and look at the swords. I'm not sure which he wants so I take the most fancy look, and move to the window. But stop looking at the girl. I feel bad for her. I will make it up to her, but I have to leave. So I leave and run back to Thor he smiles, as I give it to him, I feel so happy for giving it to him now he wants me back. He looks at me and hits me in the face with the back end of it, and pushes me to the ground and keeps beating me. Screaming at me how stupid i am for taking the wrong sword, I try to say sorry and that i love him in between the hits. But he dont stop, he keeps on beating me for a while. I deserve it though. I failed him, how could i be so stupid. 
After a while he stopped and looked at me with piercing eyes, “you failed me” the words kept ringing in my ears. As he walked off with the sword I had stolen from him, I walked home. My mom saw me beaten and bloody. She looks at me and shakes her head, “i am sorry” she smiles and follows me into the bathroom and finds some bandages and ointments to help with my wounds. She spends most of the evening cleaning me up, and treating me, I don't say much at all that night. My head is spinning around, everything that has happened. I slept for almost 2 days. Before someone comes knocking on the door at my house, my mom opens and asks me to come into the living room. I just put the comforter over my head, I do not want to do anything right now. After a good 10 minutes the lady comes into the room, the smith stares at me as I swallow hard. She closes the door behind me and we have a conversation, she told me that stealing is not okay. And doing so could get me killed. She offers me a job to work off what I owe, she says she had one give her a chance once and this was her doing the same. But if I was late or did not show, she would go to the guards. I started working with her smithy. Her name is Cynthia, she was not too pleased with me at the start, but after 6 months of me working there every day. She starts to take a liking to me, and teaches me about hard work. I have not heard from Thor in half a year, and I'm finally starting to get over him. Everyday I meet up, I do most of the labour around the smith like cleaning up and keeping it tidy. As I see her sell things to people and make deals, I smirk and one day I say to her. “Bet i could make more money off it” she smirks and tells me the bet is on i have 1 month to beat her. Every day I do everything I can to sell, I start playing music outside and to lure people in I let them haggle but manage to turn them around. After the month is over I have made 1276 gold 436 more than she made, I smirk and she smiles and tells me I have worked off all my debt. But I don't want to stop working. I ask her if I can continue, and she accepts with a smile. Another year passes. I'm 19 soon, 20 now and I am happy. My life's going great, I have worked with Cynthia and have been helping me alot with my bow skills and I continue to play music. She even managed to get me into playing in an inn every night, and I love it and the people love it. One day a guard walks into the smith, I freeze up as I see him. It's Thor. He is looking at swords. I gulp as he turns around and sees me too, “well well well”. He puts a sword on the table, “so you work here now” I look at him and swallow hard and nod. “That will be 50 gold coins”, he smiles and reminds me of what i did and threatens me. Before he takes it and leaves, which means I have to pay for it. I put 50 gold coins into the chest. Cynthia has seen it all, and we have a talk. I tell her the whole story, she hugs me. And tells me that we will just forget about it, and that it's not worth picking a fight with the guards over it. Another 6 months pass, as I work and people start to know me, and come alot into the smith it has become a place to hang out for some people. Where they can chat and buy stuff. I have turned 20 now, it's a big day and as I get to work. The guard jumps me and chains me down, Thor is standing there and reading up my accusations of being a thief, breaking the rules of the church and deserves to hang. Cynthia looks at me, and tries to talk her way out of it for me, but Thor is not budging. And they take me to the church, after a while the priest comes. They decide to take me to the caves where they can properly please the gods, they move me at night. And get me into this cell, they are not holy they are a cult. Planning to sacrifice me to their gods, they told me that my mom has been tossed out on the streets and Cynthia is facing charges. So that brings me to the end of my letter, of how I failed everyone. Just never do as I did, because of me people are hurt. I am sorry for getting the wrong sword, I am sorry mom for being a useless son and I'm sorry Cynthia you should never have given me a chance. I am ready now, to pay for my sins. This will be updated as the campaing goes on <3
