hm. my dad is offering to give me his old phone that he doesn't use anymore, bc then we won't have to shell out $100+ to repair the screen on my current phone, but also i hate the idea of switching to a new phone
#ive almost had this phone for 5 years now and only now is it finally starting to show signs of wear and tear#yeah the screen cracked. but the battery isn't what it used to be and it runs all my apps a bit slower now#to be fair. my phone had an absolute tank of a battery. like im talking it lasted 3 full days with moderate use when i first got it#but now it barely lasts me a day. which is more than some phones but its rlly inconvenient for places like school and work#so idk. logically it would probably be best to just switch to the other phone. but god i don't wanna give this thing up#i feel like im failing somehow by switching to a different phone. this thing has lasted so damn long and its my first working smartphone#so i hate the idea of just switching to a new one. plus like... that means ill have to change all my cords bc my current phone uses a -#- micro USB but the phone my dad is offering only uses USB-C#sighh. plus like... idk. ill have to figure out how to transfer all my data over which will be a headache#also! my current phone has a 128GB SD card that i dont wanna waste but idk if i can change it from internal to external storage now#idk man. this shit sucks.#like... i really really like my phone. its lasted for a really long time and its a powerhouse for such a cheap phone#but idk. i might switch to avoid making my mom spend the money on a new screen. it might be time to give this phone up.#i won't look foward to having to deal with the samsung assistant though. the bixby on my mom's phone opens constantly which is annoying#anyways. im tired and sad about my phone. i shouldn't be sad bc it's just a phone but im a stupid bitch so i feel sad.#i need to stop getting attached to tech. its a bunch of metal and plastic and wires.

Shadow From The Window (Leonardo)
Tumblr media
Imagine your scared of the dark and alone, but your sexy hero-in-the-half-shell comes to sleep at your side, after a long partol. Exausted, he forgets how easy you startle, and comforts you.
(SFW but blushy, leaning Fem!Reader/ but also gender-neutral, Bayverse Leo, no swearing, FLUFF, a lil spooky at the start but all sweet and completely handle-able. Its safe 💙)
(So, this is my first official post here and I'm so excited! First of all, HI EVERYONE! I'm so happy to have found my peoples and to be here uwu, I love you all. Hopefully, this brings you comfort to rest before bed, or in the middle of the night. Want me to do one for all the boys? Lemme know!💙)
I am writing this at 2-3 am, after imagining this scenario to comfort myself, settling down to rest. The thought of Leo hiding in the dark, makes the dark a lot less scary. (Tho I decided to write it instead of resting lol) LETS GET IT!
Its 3 am in your studio apartment.
You've been living in New York city for a while now, but its always been a hassle to fall asleep in your own place. That's been the hardest adjustment after leaving home... how scary it can be on your own. Truth be told, you're 'scared of the dark'. Not nescessarily scared of the darkness itself, but the shadows in the corner of the room... the random noises and things that go bump in the night... the mere thought in the back of your mind that something, as ridiculous as it sounds to others, will come and get you once your guard is down.
There you lied, stiff as a board on your back. The covers, pulled up to your neck, as you breathed in and out as silently as you could. Why did you still feel like you had to hide from monsters or bad guys in your own home? "Dang it, y/n..." you sighed, wiping the nervous cold sweat from your forehead, overheating internally from the anxiety.
"WHY... why did I have to watch that horror movie with Donnie?" You thought, internally shouting at yourself. "He said its not scary, that its 'too absurd to be plausible, and thus won't trigger a reaction of fear'. So much for a slow and steady introduction to the genre!"
You should have known when Raph said "Nope, I'm out." Donnie sat there the whole time, laughing at the movie at the scariest and most ill-timed moments... and you recall just glaring at him, teeth chattering, whispering to yourself:
"Yeah, he's cracked alright."
Just because something isn't scientifically proven, doesn't mean it can't happen... or hasn't happened, right?
"Ugh..." you groaned, curling your lips into a gremace, scared your groan was too loud amongst the unsettling silence. "I can't sleep with the lights on again..."
Glancing toward your phone, you noticed a blue light illuminate the screen, informing you that you got a new text. But that blue light... it instantly made you think of the blue-loving turtle you so dearly loved. The light of your life.
'Leo would protect me.'
Ah, that comforting reminder that you would feel so safe in your boyfriend's arms... if only he were here with you.
But... he wasn't. He was probably out on patrol, far away, and unable to come any time soon, even if he could.
"That's it." You said, taking and deep breath and mustering up all of your courage, throwing the covers off and dashing to the light switch.
*flick!* And... everything in the room was normal. It was comforting, but you scolded yourself for not accepting that everything was already secure, and nothing was lurking in the dark.
Everything was still, as you closed your curtains and lied back down in bed.
"Light on it is." You sighed, before the light suddenly flickered by itself.
"Oh crap-" you muttered, taking a gulp, as the power went out. "OH CRAP, ITS JUST LIKE THE MOVIE-"
Now, you felt screwed. You lied as still as possible, for what felt like forever, refusing to close your eyes. Dang it... DANG it!
Grabbing your phone light, you quickly tip-toed to the bathroom, trying to pee as fast as you could, so you could get back to your warm bed where it feels semi-safe.
As soon as you opened the bathroom door, you noticed your curtains flowing and twirling in the night wind. Street sounds from the never-sleeping city below echoed faintly through your widely-opened window.
"My window... is open?" You thought in horrified shock, examining your surroundings in the dark carefully.
You froze in your tracks, as your phone light turned itself off.
BATTERY TOO LOW TO USE FLASHLIGHT, PLEASE CHARGE.
A chill went down your spine, as you stood there in the center of everything, slowly backing to a corner, where you planned to crouch in the fetal position, so you could see all angles of the room for the rest of the night.
You took another step back, and another, before you bumped into a large mass, standing behind you.
'Not the wall...' your brain registered, feeling the heat of whomever or whatever this tall thing was, radiating against your back.
"Hello, beautiful~" A deep voice chuckled, startling you.
Jolting around, you saw a dark, tall shadow, looming before you.
The fear disoriented you, quickly rushing adrenaline through your body, as your fight or flight reacted. You quickly let out a shriek, chucking your dying phone at the shadow and darting quickly toward the window.
The shadow caught the phone instantly, with lightning fast reflex, as a large hand suddenly wrapped around your wrist, gently yet firmly pulling you back into the room before you crawled out onto the fire escape.
"WHOA, hey hey! Y/N easy! Its okay." A gentle, farmiliar voice assured, gently pulling you around to face him. "Its just me!"
"L-let go!" You whimpered, still not realizing who it was. "P-please..."
"Hey, its me..." he softly whispered, as your breath began to steady, blinking a couple of times as his identity fully set in. "Shh, sh sh sh." He lulled.
"L-Leo?" You squeaked in disbelief.
The figure slowly leaned into the moonlight, casting over you from the open window, revealing his GORGEOUS, icy blue eyes. Those intense-yet-soft eyes... that you knew and loved more than anyone else's. That comforting, strong, lovingly soft gaze, that instantly reassured you that you were safe.
"Your aim is getting better," he softly chuckled, smirking with his adorable grin. Leo slowly slid your phone before you, onto the moonlit sheets, barely revealing his outstretched, chiseled, manly hands. "I'm so sorry I scared you, love. I didn't mean to... I would never on purpose..."
Leo's voice sounded composed, but also ashamed and regretful, as he became more serious to apologise. He always spoke so softly to you...
"Leo, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, I-" you desparately assured, bursting into tears. "I-"
"Hey hey, I should have knocked, or called. I'm sorry I scared you, sweetheart. I thought I would suprise you in a good way, not startle you." He murmured, reaching his large hands out to gently grasp you, holding you in his arms.
"Oh... I'm so happy to see you!" You sighed, falling against him.
"Donnie felt bad about that scary movie, he told me about how scared you were and begged me to check on you." He whispered, with that composed, reassuring voice.
"Oh Leo... you really came." You whispered, sniffling back your tears.
"Of course, my love... I came straight here after patrol. I would have come sooner, but Raph was getting his shell handed to him by this big..." he hesitated, biting his lip.
"Leo?" You asked, wondering why he stopped.
"-You know what? It doesn't matter." He gently corrected, changing the subject.
"What? What was it?" You innocently asked, curling up against his warm, sculpted chest.
You could feel Leo's skin grow warmer with a blush, as he slowly and sweetly welcomed your embrace, holding you close.
"I'll tell you during daylight. Just... sweetie, I'll never let anything bad happen to you, as long as I live. You're safe, whether I'm near or far. Okay, sweetheart?" Leo promised with his deep innocent voice, planting a soft kiss against your forehead.
Suddenly, you heard a generator power on through your front door, and the power flicked back on.
You could at last see him. See his muscled arms around you, and the tails of his worn out blue mask resting against his chest, along side you. His plastron... rising and falling as he took in slow breaths.
Leo was so careful holding you in his arms... like you were this precious, tiny thing, that he adored with his entire existance.
"Hey, you... you there?" He muttered, growing increasingly bashful in his tension.
"I'm here." You gently assured with a smile, before pulling away to examine his handsome face.
Leonardo. Sexy, handsome, justly-confident, fierce leader. This fearless, giant turtle mutant, who was unlike anyone else in the world. His jaw clenched from sudden bashful nervousness, as his gaze shyed away from your eyes. Your stare always overwhelmed him... it was such an intimate thing to meet his eyes.
Leo cleared his throat, as he slowly reached out to your face, ever-so-carefully wiping away a tear from your cheek, watching intently and focusing as he did so.
Over cautiously gentle so he wouldn't risk hurting you with his strength.
"There we go..." he softly whispered in satisfaction, sighing with a relieved smirk.
"Can you..." you began, with every ounce of security and confidence you could muster. "Can you... stay? With me, all of tonight?"
You felt your cheeks blush intensely, blooming red, as Leo bit on his bottom lip. His eyes widened, as he fully realized your question.
"Y-yeah, o-of course I can..." Leo answered, all of a sudden a thousand times more innocent and adorable, intensely flattered and touched that you wanted him to stay at your side. "Uh... I'll... uh-" he began, moving back from kneeling on your bed before you, aimlessly pacing into your tiny kitchen.
Leo usually was so bold and certain, organized and authoritative, when he was on the move.
You recalled how you had seen first-hand how he can lay out the strategy of attack for the boys. He could be flipping into action, or running through the rooftops as he did it, with perfect coordination in his speech and movements. But with you and only you, Leo wasn't able to get the words out when he was this nervous or bashful.
He had a tendancy to overthink things.
Tumblr media
Leo wandered into the cupboard, beginning to steep some tea on the stove as his tongue caught up with his brain.
"Do you want... tea?" He gently asked, clearing his throat.
Such husband material...
"Ah, sure." You grinned, sweetly answering.
You realized how safe and secure you felt now, with him in the studio. You weren't alone anymore.
Leo didn't say much while he prepared the tea. He hyper-focused to distract himself from the nervousness of staying at your place, ALONE with you for the night. He paced around without speaking... doing little thoughtful things, like closing the window and locking it for you, shutting the closet and bathroom door, and picking out the perfect cups for the two of you, from your DC glass cup collection.
(Leo liked the Nightwing one since it was blue, and he always gave you the batgirl one, because you loved purple. He loved it when you would geek out and tell him how those heroes were the perfect couple... it reminded him of the both of you, and hoped that you gushed about him like that when he wasn't around.)
Leo brought the cups over, moving carefully with his eyes on the glass, gently placing one in your hand, and his own at your bedside.
"I"ll sleep right here, beside you." He thought out loud, examining the hardwood floor panels.
"Ah, Leo, you're not sleeping on the ground." You ordered, taking a long drink from your cup.
"Its no trouble," he assured, unlatching and taking off his belt and sword straps, placing them on your countertop. Leo sat down across from your bed, and began taking off his customized traditional ninja footwear, so all that remained were his pants and mask.
Why did this make you blush and get so flustered, the way he lifted those muscular arms over his head? Its not like he's taking anything revealing off...
"Modest like Leo... modest like Leo..." you whispered under your breath, recomposing your wandering thoughts.
He slowly walked up to you, lying you back and pulling your covers over you. Leo gently placed his hand against your cheek, staring deep into your eyes, as a soft smile rested over his lips.
He slowly nuzzled his nose beside yours, cherishing every small movement, before planting a soft kiss on your forehead. Then, he pulled away.
You felt your arms involuntarily reach out to him, taking his face into your hands. You both stared innocently into one another's eyes, before you made a bold move, planting your lips against his. You gently kissed Leo's lips, and he kissed you back, in the most respectful, admirable, and sentimental way possible.
Kissing Leo always felt so intimate and special... even as soft and innocent as it was. Leo made the tiny gestures special to you again.
"Leo, would you please... hold me?" You whispered, tightly closing your eyes and resting your forehead against his. "Please, sleep with me tonight."
"S-sleep with-" he panicked, turning vibrant red. For the first time that night, he realized that you were wearing blue pj's... and you looked gorgeous in them. Suddenly his heart began to pound through his chest, as his posture stiffened. "Sleep... together? Like... m-make love together?"
"Ah not like that!" You bashfully assured, unable to hide your shy grin. "Just... sleep together, at least for tonight."
He took a deep breath in, that sounded shaky, like the remenants of your kiss and closeness gave him the chills. The thought of you being together in the most close and intimate form made him overwhelmed, causing him to slightly tremble. Leo invoulintarily giggled, pecking a kiss against your nose, before he pulled his mask off.
"Alright." He grinned, suddenly much more eager and confident, leaning close to you as he set his mask on your night stand, switching off the light switch with a mere stretch.
Suddenly, it was dark again. But, a peaceful dark.
"Will you, Leo?" You muttered.
"Yes." He whispered, so softly and so intimately, gazing bravely into your eyes. "Yes, Y/N."
You beamed with joy, resituating to the side of your bed, curling up and watching Leo with an adorable, excited expression. Leo broke out a nervous, adorable chuckle, as he hesitantly sat down on your bed, realizing how massive he was on the size of it. He downed his tea like a shot, (wanting to finish it as fast as possible, so he could do this soft and intimate thing with you) and clearing his throat. Blushing, he slowly lied down on his back, slowly turning to his side that faced you, and hesitantly placing his hand over your shoulder, unsure of what was too much touch.
You giggled, sliding his hand on your waist, so you could sit up and pull the covers over him. "O-oh..." Leo murmured, stiffening up from his shyness.
This was very overwhelming to him, since he really liked taking things slow and was inexperienced to everything involving romance before you. But... you loved that. It was like everything was new to you again too. It endeared you beyond belief.
You lied on your side, examining his face one last time, as he examined yours, trailing your fingertip across his sharp jawline.
"I really love you..." he whispered, meaning every word.
"I really love you too, Leo." You softly agreed, as you continued to smile.
You and Leo talked quietly for a bit, sweet whispers between soulmates, as you scratched his shell and caressed his shoulders to help relieve his stress and tension. He would slowly drift off more and more, talking less and less, gifting you with tiny, soft, slow kisses, all over your face instead.
You both drifted off to sleep, and slept wonderfully side by side, as safe and sweet as can be, just the two of you.
And, as you found out in the morning, Leo was a total, clingy cuddler in his sleep. Throughout the night, he had nuzzled closer and closer, wrapping his arms around you and cradling you, until you were cozy against his body, sharing the same warmth.
💙 Sweet dreams.💙

(Previously, on GG rewatch...)
Aaaaah, I remember February 2020 me, anxiously waiting for this premiere and Beth's expression of grief... How naive of me, right?
"This person that you knew... or whatever" I CAN SEE BETH'S BRAIN REPLACING THIS "WHATEVER" BY A GIANT "FUCKED"!!!!!!
Every time I see Lucy on screen I regret that we didn't get to see her more, every line that comes out of her mouth is pure gold
I get that the girls had to invole JT to test the cash, but do they really have to tell him EVERYTING about their recipe? Isn't that, what's the word again, oh yeah, DUMB??
Oh snap, isn't that where @missmaxime​'s blog title comes from?
KRYSTAL!!!!!!!
I'm not sure about how schools work in the US, but is Marcus going to the same school Jane does? In which case, why didn't Beth know Rhea before/ran across Rio at random PTA events? And if they're not in the same school, how did Beth get Marcus a spot in the soccer team? And how did she track down Rhea while not even knowing Marcus' name (it hasn't actually ever been pronounced out loud on the show)?
I'd like to point out to everyone that if Beth managed to sign-up Marcus to anything at school then she knows his LAST NAME...
Enjoying my last minutes of Turner on screen... This choice of a romantic song for him visiting Rio's room isn't coincindental, mwahahaha!!
What? Lucy's got more than one bird? Where are they??
This first exchange between Lucy and the girls is absolutely surreal. Like, any normal human being would run out of here immediately. Nobody's acting sane. This show is nuts
"You know how you help the family of the guy you ended?" "Yeah, you get a teardrop tattoo and you call it a day." Um, Mick does have a teardrop tattoo, right?
"Thinking of you" Aaaaaah, I love a good Turner double-entendre!!! Also Beth's look in that scene is probably my favourite ever
So, um throwing the money in the fire (since when any of them has a chimney BTW?? I thought this couch was facing the TV) is an extremely dramatic move, but couldn't they just, you know, bury it in the attic and wait for the dust to settle??
Diane explaining to Sara how to fix her gag reflex is one of my favourite comedy moments of this show, like ever.
"All to pay for something that anybody on planet Earth would expect to be covered." Literally me, every time I hear about the US healthcare system. Poor Gwen, though...
Bhahaha, I love that this show tried to make us believe that Beth was pregnant this season while she's literally getting wine-drunk in the premiere!
I know that it's a controversial opinion, but Annie's desperate quest for batteries and toothbrush adventures crack me up every time, and the fact that she doesn't even once think about using her hands says a lot. Also I have questions about this Minions toothbrush: who uses it in Annie's home?? It looks like a kid's thing that Ben would probably discard, but the way it was proeminently sitting in the bathroom shows that it's used often...
Hahaha, I like that Beth tells her kids she'll "ask daddy" about painting the room purple but just didn't do it and went for the painbrush!!!
... Did Rio timed his ambush operation on Turner just so he could reach gold status at the hotel?? Extremely on brand
Okay new theory: Kowalski is actually Rio's real last name. They would have gone for something less improbable for a fake name, rule number one of fake ID is to sound plausible so you don't get caught.
RIP Jimmy, you'll be missed
Bonus 1: I’m totally losing it on this stuffed lion in the back and the idea that it’s now taking some space in one of Rio’s storage units...
Tumblr media
Bonus 2: Isn’t she gorgeous?

Ghosts chp 15
Billy x Katrina
A/N: this is a multi chapter series that will contain smut, angst, fluff, substance abuse
Tumblr media
Katrina's POV
"Have you seen Katrina?"
"I thought she was with you?"
"No...she went to grab something from the kitchen and never came back."
I backed slowly out of the hallway, moving lightly to not make any noise. I couldn't let the boys know. Know that everything felt wrong, like I was barely holding on to myself.
I slid into the bathroom to see him staring back at me. The man I'd been seeing since we left Salem. All harsh angles and cold blue eyes.
He was smiling.
A cruel smile, menacing even as the dimple in his cheek deepened.
Stunning.
"Tell me," he sneered, "do you know torture?"
I could feel my lip wavering as I shook my head.
"Don't worry, you will."
"Please," I whimpered.
He tutted at me, "quiet now, pet. Have I ever harmed you?"
"No..."
"You know I wouldn't, right? Not on purpose."
I nodded slowly. It felt like I was losing control, like it took every ounce of concentration to get that one small movement.
"Good, now don't fight me."
--
I was stuck. Watching but disconnected from my body. Panic lanced through me, white hot as my body moved without my command.
"Hush, my pet," his voice echoed in my head, "I've got us. Go to sleep."
It was easy. To obey him and fall into darkness. Into complacency.
I continued to fade in and out as we moved around the house. Silently lurking in shadows to watch Steve and Billy without them noticing.
--
Billy's POV
Tap, tap, tap.
"You had to have heard it that time, Billy!"
Steve was looking out every window in the house, frantic as he tried to figure out who was outside.
"Do you think it's Katrina? Playing a prank on us?"
I shook my head, "no, she'd be killing herself laughing if it was a prank. We'd hear her."
"Well what the fuck? Someone is obviously out there!"
"I don't know, Steve!"
THUD.
A hand smacked the window, causing Steve to scream and flinch away from it. The hand slid down, slipping down the window with a squeal. But not before I caught sight of a tattoo. A tattoo I recognized from Katrina's wrist.
"Jesus," I huffed, "it is Katrina!"
I stomped to the front door and threw it open to look out into the now empty yard.
"Hey! Katrina! We know it's you, you got us! Ha ha you can come in now," I shouted into the dark.
I heard the crunch of gravel and turned to look down the driveway. There, at the very end, standing perfectly still in the dim street light, was Katrina. At least, I was pretty sure, I couldn't really see anything other than her shape.
"Hey! You got us, come inside!" I called.
I saw her head cock to the side, but she didn't step forward, didn't move at all.
"Billy? What's going on?" Steve asked from behind me.
"Nothing," I answered, turning to look at him quickly before looking back outside.
The driveway was empty now.
"Katrina?" I yelled, looking around, "where'd you go?"
"Billy...I don't like this," Steve whispered, "something's not right."
"Yeah," I nodded, slowly closing the door and locking it, "if this is a prank, she's being an asshole."
We retreated to the kitchen, staying close to each other and listening for any more sounds.
"I'm gunna try to call her...tell her this isn't funny."
I pulled out my phone and dialed Katrina's number. I was sent to voicemail five times before we heard the chime of her cell phone behind us. We jumped and whirled around to see her phone on the dining room table, screen lit up with my call until I was sent to voicemail again.
"Katrina!" I yelled, "you're not fucking funny! Get out here now!"
There was a few minutes of silence before we heard the screech of something dragging across glass from the other side of the house. Steve was really panicking now, his chest heaving with breaths that were coming too fast. I could feel my heart racing, thundering in my ears. With a gulp, I started walking in the direction of the sound, Steve close behind me.
If I thought my heart was pounding before, it kicked into overdrive when we walked into the living room. All across the windows in big red lettering was 'HA HA HA HA HA'.
"We should get the fuck out of here," Steve murmured.
"Yeah, yeah we should...my keys are in the kitchen."
We ran to the kitchen, searching the counters for my keys.
"Where the fuck are they?"
"Billy," Steve mumbled quietly, hand flapping wildly against my arm.
I pushed things around the counter, looking for a flash of silver.
"Billy," he said again, hitting my arm a little harder.
"What, Steve?" I yelled, turning to look at him.
He was staring behind me, face frozen and pale.
"What are you-" I started, turning to follow his gaze.
In the kitchen window was Katrina, staring straight at us. Not moving, just staring.
"Katrina, knock it off. You're not funny," I called, my voice cracking a little.
Her eyes flicked over to me and a menacing smile stretched across her face. One that sent shivers down my spine and reminded me too much of...
"Fuck, Billy, look."
I snapped out of my thoughts to see a flash of silver as her hand lifted up to the window. Her face didn't move as she twirled my keys around her finger. My mouth dried out when I noticed blood smeared across her face.
"Steve, where's your phone?"
He stammered, "u-upstairs, I think."
"Go get it. Call Riley."
"And tell her what? That Katrina's acting like some kind of fucking horror villain?" He hissed.
"Yes, Steve," I growled, "exactly that. Tell her we need their help. Now."
He made a noise in protest but slowly backed out of the kitchen and ran upstairs. I could hear his footsteps pounding on the stairs.
So could Katrina.
Her head turned to follow the sound and I stepped forward to pound on the window.
"Hey! Who are you? Why are you doing this?" I yelled.
She looked over at me quickly, for just a brief second, before she walked away from the window.
"Steve!" I yelled, "hurry the fuck up!"
"Coming!" He called, running back downstairs, "I found it but my battery is almost dead."
"Well fucking call her fast."
He nodded, her name already up on his phone. We were cast into darkness just as he clicked call, the only light being moonlight and the glow of Steve's phone. I looked around at the appliances, all of which had gone dark.
"Oh fuck," he mumbled, "Riley! Riley, we need help! ...it's Katrina, she's acting like a psycho! ...I don't know, like a fucking horror villain, Riley! You guys need to come help us! ...yeah, we're at the cabin ...I'll send you the address, hurry."
He quickly typed out the address to Riley and sighed shakily.
"What do we do now?"
"We wait, I guess."
--
The battery in Steve's phone had lasted just long enough for us to find a few candles and get them lit, casting an eery glow across our faces as we huddled in my bedroom upstairs.
We'd been up here for a while in total silence until we suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming up the stairs.
"Billy," Steve whispered, "I thought you locked the doors."
"I did..."
I was just getting up to start pushing furniture against the door when I heard Katrina call out from down the hall.
"Billy? Steve?"
I froze, staring at the door and breathed, "Katrina?"
Steve stepped forward to grab my arm, "no. No, no, no, no. That's not Katrina, remember?"
"Billy?" She cried, "please, help me. I don't know what's happening...it hurts."
I grabbed the door handle, ignoring Steve's protests as I opened the door to peek out into the hall. When I didn't see or hear anything other than Katrina's crying, I opened the door wider and stuck my face out to look down the hall. Katrina was at the end of the hall, facing away from us and standing perfectly still.
"What do you see?" Steve whispered.
"Just Katrina, at the end of the hall," I answered, tucking back into the room to grab a candle before slowly inching into the hallway.
"Katrina? Babe?"
As I walked closer to her I could see that she was covered in blood and called back, "Steve! She's hurt, get out here!"
I could hear his grumbles of protest as he joined me in the dark. When we got to Katrina, she wasn't crying anymore, she was just silent and still. I gently touched her shoulder and turned her to face me and nearly dropped the candle.
"Y-your eyes..." I stammered.
"What?" Steve asked, coming around to look at her, "holy shit!"
Katrina's left eye had changed, steely blue had split her previously vibrant green eye in half. She was staring at us blankly, like there was nobody inside, but that menacing smile stayed.
I gulped, "Neil?"

Hotpot Adventure #3
Jin calls for Sage from the back of the dorm and finishes putting his bag around his shoulders. Sage walks in, hair kind of messy from waking up from the nap earlier. Her stomach is growling loudly.
Jin: You ready?
Sage: Yep! Do you have a list of ingredients? I have a whole list of other stuff the guys asked for.
Jin: Yeah I have it saved on my phone. What do they want?
Sage: Random stuff. Namjoon wanted a coffee so we have to stop by that Cafe, and then the department store.
Jin: We are the errand duo today
Jin laughs after that. He leads the way to the car downstairs and opens the passenger door for Sage to get in first. He notices she isn't very bundled up and it's pretty cold today according to his phone.
Jin: Why aren't you wearing gloves or a scarf. You're gonna get sick Sage.
Sage looks down and furrows her brows.
Sage: Sorry I forgot honestly. Let me text Jimin, he might have another pair.
Jin: I think you left a scarf in the backseat from yesterday, let me get it.
Jin goes searching for her scarf and Sage takes out her phone. As she texts, Jin finds the scarf and wraps in wround her in an obnoxious way to cover her vision. She laughs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sage and Jin wait for Jimin. The elevator dings for the car garage and Jimin comes out with not just her gloves but a big coat with fur in the hood. Sages coat. That she forgot as well.
Jimin: Here.
He hands Sage her gloves and she puts them on. Jimin then helps her put on her coat.
Sage: I can do it myself too Jimin. [She laughs] I'm not a kid ya know.
Jimin: I know but I like helping you.
Jin: You like helping everyone, don't lie~
Sage: Tis is true
Jimin feins offence and raises his gloved hands. His hair is messy from the nap too.
Jimin: Should I apologize for being so great?
Sage: You sound like Jin
Jin: Stop copying me!
They all laugh together. Sage and Jin get in the car and Jimin waves goodbye as the elevator doors shut.
Jin proceeds to drive out of the garage and they get on the freeway, he puts on some music.
It's a quiet drive for the most part. Jin was always dependable while driving. And Sage liked to watch him too. She also knew how to drive, but the boys tended to like to drive her around. She didn't mind it, and she knew that if she asked to drive, they would let her.
They also had the option to hire a driver, and they did for special events, but when it's just Sage and the boys going out, they took their car instead. It's best not to forget how to drive after working so hard to get the license in the first place.
The song ended.
Jin: You want to pick one?
He handed her his phone and she changed apps from Melon to Spotify. Since that's what she's used too. Sage recently watched a movie with Tae and Jungkook. The song kept coming up in her head. It's was a great movie, everytime she talked to the other guys she told them to watch it. Sage played it for the rest of the way there on repeat and Jin didn't complain. Jin was happy to listen to things she liked. Sage tended to have good music tastes.
Sage sang some of the lyrics. Some out of key but it was really cute anyway. Jin knew she didn't really know the words. He wouldn't know either, they are in English after all and he's not as fluent as he wanted to be yet.
Eventually Jin parked the car in the lot outside of the mall. He grabbed his baseball cap and mask and slipped them on. His mask had a cute bear mouth print on it.
Sage put her dark purple mask on as well. They both left the car and made their way for the mall.
Sage: Let's go to the department store first, then food, then Cafe. Sound good?
Jin agreed and they entered, letting the warm air blast them in the face.
Sage grabbed the batteries and hangars she needed and headed toward the check out. Jin following along. He took the stuff from her hands as they waited in line for check out.
Jin: Let me hold them.
Sage: This is why my arms are noodles. You guys always do this.
Jin just smiled.
Jin: You skip arm day. I bet if you really wanted to, you could get ripped enough to take down Jungkookie in a arm wrestling match.
Sage bellowed out a laugh.
Sage: HA! Yeah right! He'd break my arm in half. Haven't you seen those videos on YouTube?
Jin: What? no.
Sage: If you did, you would probably never arm wrestle JK ever again.
Jin thinks about it for a moment.
Jin: Show me when we get home.
Sage laughs and agrees. This might scar him for life.
Jin grabs a chocolate bar and throws it in with the stuff.
After this they head to the grocery store and begin the hunt for the ingredients for hotpot. Jin shows Sage the list but it doesn't do much for her since she can't see how they'll end up making a hotpot. She just thought you through everything in a pot and warm it up on the stove. Maybe add some seasoning of some sort. She didn't know.
She not very good at cooking. Jin tries to help her understand the order of how things are gonna be done later tonight but she doesn't really get it still. Sage figures she'll learn later. They continue the hunt!
They spend about 2 hours shopping and the cart is full of food. They spend their time telling eachother jokes and showing funny videos as they browse. Jin finally places 2 beer cases on the bottom of the cart.
Jin: I think that's it. Can you text Hoseok if we have any onions in the fridge?
Sage: Didn't we use them for the stir fry a couple of days ago?
Jin: We did but we need two for tonight. I don't know if we had extras left over.
Sage took out her phone.
Sage: Okay I'll ask.

Back at home Hoseok is on his laptop, headphones in, taking notes on some choreography he filmed of himself earlier. He was really in the zone. Hoseok in the zone is not someone who should be reckoned with.
Hoseok: JIMIN!!!!
Jimin flopped over on the bed, he was on his phone. Nearly having a heart attack from his hyung screaming at him when he was 5 ft away.
Jimin: what the! What!?
Hoseok: CHECK IF WE HAVE ONIONS!! SAGE WANTS TO KNOW!!
Hoseok does not budge his eyes from the screen as he yells. Jimin figures he can't tell how loud he's screaming.
Taehyung runs in.
Tae: WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING ARE YOU OKAY WHAT'S WRONG???!
Jimin rolls over and faceplants in his pillow. Hoseok noticed the door slam open from Tae's entrance and freaks out, falling to the floor and almost bringing his laptop with him. Jungkook is behind Tae and is just cracking up.
JK: What's going on?? Hahahaha!
Taehyung looks very confused and Hoseok looks like he aged 3 years.
Hoseok: Sage wants to know if there are onions. Please go check.
Hoseok clutches his heart and calms himself down.
Tae: Oh is that it?
Jimin: I'll go check. Jesus.
Jimin escapes. JK goes to lay on Jimin's bed and Tae still looks confused but he ends up leaving to go back to the living room. Jimin returns shortly.
Jimin: There's only a half left, I don't know if that's gonna be enough for a huge pot.
Hoseok gets up from the floor and back to his seat.
Hosoek: I'll text her back then.
JK from behind his phone.
Jk: Haha no wonder Army think we're funny.
Jimin goes to lay next to Jungkook and they share songs.

Sage: Okay so Hobi said that there's only half of one.
Jin: Kay we need more. I'll be back, watch the cart!
Jin runs off in his woddle way. Sage hears a ping from her phone.
Tumblr media
Sage wondered what it was. It was probably why Hobi was acting so wierd. Knowing the boys.
Jin runs back with two onions. They both check out. Sage almost forgot about the tteokbokki for Yoongi but she got it in the end. They head out and load the back of the car with the bags. Then head back inside for the coffee.
Jin ends up getting an Americano as well. And Sage buys a White Mocha for Jimin, since he was the only one that didn't ask for anything. With the 3 coffees they head out to the car.
Jin immediately turns the heat on since it's getting colder as the sun is setting.
Jin plays a song he knew Sage liked to listen to and they both jam out as the car gets on the free way. Then she plays Ephipany after so that so that they can both sing along home.
