TAPE THREE : PASSENGER PRINCESS !
Starring … ‘Red Hair’ Shanks 📸
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
SET SCRIPT : “Hey Babbyyyy congrats on 100! For your lovely followers event could I request afab reader with Dads best friend Shanks n some sprinkles of corruption :3 I love youuu bae mwah 😮‍💨🤍”
MATURE WARNING(S) : smut, unprotected vaginal sex, AGE GAP, use of the title “daddy”, corruption kink, underlying breeding kink (if you squint), Shanks mysteriously has 2 arms, forced orgasm, you’re Mihawks daughter, afab!femme reader.
DIRECTORS CUT : For one of my favorite people on this app @stargirldelight <33 so sorry this took me forever to get to. Apologies, Shanks brings out an unprecedented daddy kink in me I didn’t know I had …
Tumblr media
Moving is already stressful enough, add the fact that your dad can’t seem to help you out this weekend and voila; you’re in a pinch. He’s typically off on some sort of exploit around the world anyways, a stoic mystery of sorts. But, your dad did suggest that he come help you move into your new apartment.
Which is fine and all, but you’re not sure how you’re gonna last the already tumultuous move in with Shanks around. He’s your dads best friend, or enemy, you’re honestly not quite sure.
Ever since you were a teen you admired shanks, his warm fuzzy smile, how stern he got when he was mad, and that damn signature red hair of his that you can always pick out from a crowd. You expected to grow out of it as you got older, but you could never quite kick the habit. His voice smooth like honey when he��d stumble in with your father drunk, or when he said bye after helping you move in for college. He’s really your fantasy come true, a handsome man with unmistakable charm that makes you smile even on days you don’t have reason to.
You’re older now, you should be able to handle this. But a man like him ages akin to fine wine, only becoming more and more attractive as the years gain on him. Granted, there was an age gap between you; which is what typically kept your lewd thoughts of him in check.
He’d drive this red dodge charger every time he picked you up when your dad couldn’t, like now. Red hair flowing in his face as you coasted down the highway. He smiles and asks if the boys your age were treating you right while his fingers dance along your shoulders. “Pft, I wish,” you aimlessly laughed, noting that exactly what you desired in a man was right next to you.
“Whaaaat? Cmon’ a pretty girl like you? Really?” He sounded genuinely disturbed by this confession of yours. “You deserve better sweetheart.” His eyes flickering back to the road as you’re a few hours out from your new town.
“I really don’t go out much y’know, and it’s not like I have anything to offer them,” your heard turns as you mumble into your fist. Embarrassed to let the older gentleman know just how little play you get. The compliment he gave you flies right over your head as you try to mask the growing ache for Shanks in your heart (and pussy). He’s always been sweet like this to you, patient and gentle as he places a reassuring hand on your knee. You think nothing of it.
“I don’t believe it, they don’t know what they’re missing. I woulda been all ov-” clearing his throat before continuing, “maybe they’re just not what you need.” He turns the music down as the conversation begins to flow more naturally, tension sparking like electricity in the air as he pushes further and further.
“Oh? And what do I need.” You flash him that look of mischief, one that was saved for when you’d ask him to bail you out of punishment with your dad.
“Someone who could treat you how you deserve, a real man and not some boy.” He can’t control the possessive tone that exits his mouth, it’s just unbelievable to him. After all these years and all those meaningless break ups you’d go through, it was him whose arms you’d cry into. Too drunk off cheap liquor with the sweet but sickly scent of vodka hanging off your breath. But of course, he’d listen. Always the patient type.
“And do I know a man like that? Sounds like you wanna be that guy Shanks,” it was only a joke. Your voice airy as you moved your hair out of your lipgloss. Highway wind was never kind to you.
“Don’t play with me,” and he’s back to serious. The coolness of his words sends a shiver up your spine.
“What if I meant it, hm? What if I wanted you to show me?” Your eyes now burning holes in the sides of his face, his jaw clenches as he battles with his own morality.
“You don’t think I’m a little too old for you?” He sends a glance your way, one that trails from your low cut tank top to the supple skin of your thighs before he’s back to gripping the gear shift.
“Said it yourself, I need a real man,” your knees turn to face him as you let your voice purrr. Mihawk would kill him if he found out about this, but he’s never truly been afraid of the man anyways. Especially not when his daughter is as pretty as you, there’s just so much you don’t know, so much he could show you. It drives him wild.
“You don’t even know what you’re asking for.” Eyes straight on the road, but the unmistaken waiver in his voice let’s you know he just needs one final shove before he tumbles down like dominos.
“I’m asking for you Shanks,” you plant a sweet kiss to his cheek; just how you used to when he’d leave town for months on end and you didn’t know when you’d see him again.
For once it’s his turn to be flustered, if he wasn’t so concerned about keeping both eyes on the road he’d grab you himself. “Behave little girl, you don’t know what you’re getting into.”
You squirm in your seat, the problem is you know exactly what you’re getting into. It’s finally what you’ve wanted for years. For the object of desire in his mind to be aimed at you, for your affections to be reciprocated, to be with him instead of being viewed as his best friends daughter.
You’ve driven to your new town before so you’re aware that wherever he’s driving isn’t the right way, “Shanks?”
“What? Thought I was supposed to show you.” A light chuckle leaves him as you’re parked in the back corner of a parking lot, headlights turned off.
“Come here hun,” he pushes his seat back urging you to crawl over to him. It feels so right to be held by him, yet so wrong at the same time it makes butterflies swirl around in your stomach. The lack of space pushing you closer to him as his steady breathing makes you feel safer.
“Be gentle Shanks, I’ve only done it one time before.” At that his jaw clenches. A cute thing like you only getting fucked once? It almost makes his blood boil, yet it turns sick when he realizes all he can teach you right here and now. How tight your cunt will grip him as he makes you bounce up and down on him. Oh, Mihawk will kill him indeed; that is if he ever finds out about how he’s stretching out your pussy.
His hands feel so warm on you, rubbing and groping at your skin while you get comfortable. All the attention from him at once makes your head spin, growing needier to get on with it already. “You don’t want it like that though, do you?” It’s barely above a whisper, a nasty vile secret that he somehow knows. All you can do is whimper as he ravages your neck in rough kisses, lips lingering over your pulse points. His years of experience showing as he makes you writhe.
“You want it rough don’t you, t’s ok doll you can tell daddy the truth.” He grins at your hardy whine, swallowing it down in a kiss that devours you from the inside out. His tongue invades your mouth, overpowering yours.
He’s perfect, exactly how you imagined he’d be. Strong arms guiding you further up his lap, helping you wrap your arms around the base of his neck. “Shanks .. more please—” your face hot as you plead for more of him. Feeling how stiff he is makes pride swell within you, was that really your doing? All you’ve done is kiss him, but he groans each time you lean further into his touch.
He leaves pepper kisses on your face and eyelashes, pulling back to look for any doubt on your complexion. “You’re so beautiful,” he tells you, tugging on one of your curls before wrapping it around his finger. Too intimate, far too intimate for the debauchery he’s about to lay on you.
“Spread those pretty legs wider f’me, there you go,” his phrasing patient as his knees open wider beneath you. Your hands grip his shoulders for balance while you wait in anticipation for anything… “where do you want me to touch you baby,” his eyes meet yours, “here?” His middle and index finger graze the thin cloth of your shorts.
You nod your head profusely, looking down at the space between you with your teeth sinking into your bottom lip. Shanks snakes his fingers within your walls, teasing the entrance lightly while using your slick to slide in and out slowly. “Remember, breathe,” the slight sting keeps your hold on him firm as you try to adjust. In and out, rhythmically, the pads of his fingers glide along your plush walls.
Your airy chants of his name fill the darkening small space of his cramped car. Hips beginning to bounce on his hand, desperation creeping in with each drag of his fingertips inside you. “Look at you, suckin my fingers in. Almost like you don’t wanna let them go,” he marvels at you, moving your shorts out of the way so he has a clearer view of your insatiable pussy.
“S’creamy, you been thinking about me?” Bold for him to say, he acts like he’s not knuckle deep inside you with reckless abandon for his position in all this. You’re oozing down his wrist as his fingers begin to scissor back n forth.
“Kiss me Shanks,” you ask.
“Of course baby,” he replies.
It’s always him who spoils you, giving you what you ask for. How could he deny you of such a sweet request? The squelch of your wetness grows while a tight knot tries to unravel itself within you.
“Not yet, can you wait for daddy just a lil more?” He can feel that too? Embarrassment hot on your face while your hips grind against his palm.
It’s indecent how sexy he is, toned chest peaking through his shirt, tongue slightly sticking out as he preps you for his fat length, and his deep even voice that praises every movement of your body.
His entry inside you is smooth, almost like he was meant to fit you perfectly. “Oh my god Shanks f-fuck wait—” Your head is spinning, you can feel his dick twitch with each convulse of your own walls.
He doesn’t mind that you’re clutching onto him hard enough to draw blood, no not at all, honestly it’s making him want to burry himself deeper. “Shhh baby, I got you. I got you, just breathe.” Not yet though, he can’t hurt you (too bad). Tears prickle at the corners of your eyes but he’s quick to wipe them with his thumb. Kissing your collarbones as if to apologize for the molding his cock does to your needy warmth.
The pain subdues, giving way to a hunger you can’t quite describe; but quiet mouths don’t get fed. “Gimmie more Daddy, please,” truthfully the name slipped out, but the damage was done as it left a shiver to creep up the red heads spine.
Well, how could he say no to that? His hands move from your waist down, molding the skin of your ass as he pleases while his hips experimentally shift up and down. When he hears you sigh in pleasure he knows he’s found the right angle. “Better hold on, gonna give it to you just how you want it love.” It’s in how he reassures you that he’ll take care of you that allows you to let go, letting this be your reality instead of some sick sex dream.
His strength is unreal, he’s lifting you with no problem and then pushing you down again and again. It feels like he’s impaling you, knocking your breath out with each rise and fall of your oozing cunt. “Mhm, fuckkk. Been thinking about this for a long time.” The space between you both lessens as the heat rises, giving way to an erotic composition of pleasure.
Any composure you had flies out the window as you’re left dumb and drooling as the only thing that can leave your mouth is praises of his name. Incoherent babbling about how you never want it to stop, losing yourself in the heat of his body. “So slutty baby, what would your dad think, huh?” He lets his palm rest against your stomach as you continue to bounce. Eyeing where his own outline is visible within you.
“Nasty girl, felt the way you got tighter around me. You want him to know? Know that it’s me fuckin’ his pretty daughter in my car.” His words alone are enough to make that tight band snap instantly with little buildup, robbing you of your ability to think as you cry out meek thank you’s to Shanks. He pulls you back by the hair, watching the way your face contorts as you cream around him; squeezing his cock like a vice.
The flutter of your walls spurs him on, picking up an animalistic pace as you’re used to bring him his own high. Sweat making his hair stick to his forehead as your vision focuses back in. “Think you can do it again? I know you can love.”
You’re unsure what he means but when you feel his thumb start to circle at your clit you’re a goner. The intensity of your last climax causes you to squirm as he tries to rip another out of you. “Stop fuckin running.” When Shanks wants something, he always gets it. That’s the rule. You are no exception.
He can feel his balls tensing at the obscene squelch each thrust into your cunt provides him, he knows he’ll have to wash these seats later; but for now he’s gonna dump his load in his best friends hot daughter.
“Let go.” A harsh drag of his thumb has you coming undone yet again, spurring Shank’s own orgasm where he drags you down flush against him. No where to run as his hot seed fills you to the brim. “Fuck yeah, that’s the stuff baby.”
You’re left convulsing as you try to catch your breath, slumping against his chest like a noodle. “Di.. dirty old bastard,” you weakly protest, slamming your fist into his chest.
“And yet you still wanna fuck this dirty old bastard,” he says with a laugh, peeling you off his chest to kiss you with nothing but teeth. He suckles on your tongue, making you whimper as he’s still inside you. “That’s what I thought,” he says satisfied.
Maybe he’ll have to be like Mihawk, taking out of town trips. However, he knows exactly where he’ll be going. Right where you are.

Dating San Headcanons
San x Plus Size Reader
Summary: Headcanons for boyfriend San with a plus size S/o
Warnings: suggestive, mentions of body insecurities,
A/N: Thanks to @bethanysnow for this request! I hope you like it! I had so much fun writing this, I wanna make lists for the rest of the members(and for Skz as well, bc the brainrot is so real rn)!
Masterlist
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
He is like the perfect definition of "boyfriend material".
Like, he’s such a gentleman, always treating you with the utmost much care and gentleness as if you are made out of glass.
He’s soo shy when you first get together, but he quickly becomes a giant teddy bear once you get more comfortable with each other, cuddling/clinging to you every chance he gets. He is always attached to you in some shape or form, hugging you from behind and following you around the house as you’re trying to get things done.
Lowkey little spoon vibes, but with those long ass limbs, it takes a bit of maneuvering for him to fit. He loves when you hold him tho, he feels so safe and comforted in your arms.
He loves kissing you, stealing little pecks every chance he can. When you have more time though, he loves leaving slow, teasing kisses along your lips and face that make you impatient and lean in for more.
Not quite the best cook, but he still tries anyway, bc he likes doing things for you.
Loves buying you little gifts to surprise you with. It could be anything, clothes, jewelry, plushies, or just your favorite drink. If it makes you smile, he’s buying it.
He is just so soft and nurturing, always ready and willing to listen to your problems and worries and offer advice where he can. He wants you to know that he’s always there for you and that you can rely on him.
Doesn’t quite understand when you first explain your body insecurities to him, bc he thinks you’re absolutely gorgeous, but he does his best to reassure you and make sure that you feel as comfortable around him as possible.
Does little things like making sure that there are hoodies and clothes in his closet that fit you, but he never says anything about it.
Makes a point to check in with you extra on days when he knows you’re not feeling great about yourself, and will drop everything to be with you if you need him.
He won’t tolerate you talking/treating yourself badly though. He’s lowkey really protective over you and will not tolerate anyone or anything making you feel uncomfortable or bad about yourself, and that includes your own mind.
Words of affirmation are a major love language for him, so he basically becomes your personal hype man. He’s always calling you some variant of “pretty girl/boy/baby”, beautiful, or gorgeous.
He understands tho that it takes a lot more than just kisses and sweet words to get over personal body issues, but that doesn’t stop him from making the effort to remind you of how beautiful he thinks you are, inside and out.
He’s very big on body worship in bed, kissing and caressing every inch of you that he can reach, whispering praises into your skin. He loves the way you trust him enough to fully let go and fall apart under his touch.
He is an ass man through and through, argue with the wall. Like, he's absolutely obsessed with your ass and thighs. They're just so lush and soft and so perfect for him to squeeze and knead in his hands, he can't get enough of them.
His favorite place to be in the whole world is between your thighs, whether you’re just innocently cuddling or doing other, less innocent things😏.
Gets v sulky and pouty when you don’t pay attention to him, even if it’s just for a few minutes. He always tries his best to give you his full attention whenever you’re together, making a point to even put his phone on do not disturb sometimes, and he expects the same from you.
Overall, he’s just a super sweet and reassuring partner, and I love him v much. Imma go cry now, bye✌

Loving trio ༄ D.m
Summary:being friends with the enemies were tough, especially when they like you
This text means flashback
A/n:Snape & lucius are kinda ooc. Also sorry for the Harry simps and harry. Reader!Slytherin head up.
Tumblr media
How did it start you may ask? Well, it all happened when Yn became friends with draco malfoy and then Harry Potter. It seems impossible, the two rivals have the same common friend.
——
Platform 9¾ was bussing with students. “Muum— I promise you I can manage!” eleven yearold yn whined. “Oh dear, you've grown up so much! I can't believe your gonna go to hogwarts” her mother hugged her tightly. Muffled sounds came from her mother's coat. “I'll promise I'll be fine mum!” another cry from yn as her mother let go of her. “Oh alright, be safe dear! Oh and also please write to me soon” “Okay bye mum!!” shouted yn blending in with many of the students.
She found a empty compartment and began sighing, she is finnaly gonna go to hogwarts, her dream school. She day dreamed until her thoughts her cut off by a gelled blonde boy. “Hi..can I sit here? I couldn't find my friends, plus its very full outside.” the blonde muttered, scratching the back of his neck. “Oh sure, I'm not sitting with anyone. My names Yn Yln!” she greeted.
“malfoy, draco malfoy.” he handed his hand to the girl, which she cheerfully accepted. “May I ask, are you ah.. Mu- muggleborn?” the blonde asked sitting down with her. “No, I'm Pureblood, I just moved to UK, so I could attend hogwarts.” she explained. “Ah I see.” then as their friendship started to grow from there.
——
September 23, 1992 ;
“oof— I'm sorry!” alast, younger yn bumped into another person, it was a trait of her being clumsy, as draco `teasedʼ her about it. She had bumped into Harry. “It's alright, Yn right?” Harry handed her his hand. She gladly accepted and stood up. “Yeah,, thats me” she smiled. The both walked around the castle, they realized that they had the same classes for this period. It was best to stick together.
“Ah, so good for the both of you to join.” snapes monotone voice spoke up. “although you never get detention Ms.Yln, I have to detuct points from slytherin , also detention for you Mr potter.”. Snape favored draco and you. Because Snape is dracos god father, whilst yn being very interested with potions.
“sorry proffesor” the pair muttered, as they both parted ways sitting into their assigned seats. “What did you do with potter—” draco hissed. “Oh, I just bumped into him earlier, and we did have the same class” yn whispered back. He nodded, but continued to glare at Harry for the rest of the class. There, the rivalry goes stronger through the years.
——
August 18 1994;
Since yn was closer to Draco, they had both met each others family, and leaded to dinners very frequently. She came with him at the quidditch world cup, she stayed at the tent, and slept with him.
“Okay, draco stop!—” her high pitched giggles filled the living rooms tent, they both giggled at panted. “Come children.” lucius called. “cmon love.” he stretches his arm for her to latch to. They recently became close, when I mean close. Lovely dovey stuff. Narcissa would giggle and sigh on his little baby boy , acts like a proper gentleman he was raised to be.
“It's really nice the minister got us free seats, sad thing my parents didn't come.” yn muttered to the blonde boy. “It's alright yn” he smiled at the girl. “if it rains, you'd be the first to know.” lucius smirked. Yn looked up to see who he was talking to. Harry and the weasley's. Draco chuckled. She rolled her eyes about draco boasting about the seats. She knew she couldn't do anything, but leave him alone. “Don't. Boast draco” lucius hitted draco with his cane softly making him grunt, and roll his eyes.
“are you alright dray?” yn asked worriedly, “I'm alright sweet heart.”he smiled and kissed her forehead. She nodded and both of them left to watch the game.
——
December 6 1994, yuleball/present;
“yule—ball, is a traditional dance for the triwizard tournament.” McGonagall explained. “thus we must be perfect at dancing. I do not want to see you all dance like bambling bumbling baboons.”
“Try saying that five times fast, huh?” “Babbling, bumbling band of baboons.” you heard the twins whispering at the other corner of the room. As snickers filled the room, Ron was called on to practice “proper” with McGonagall. “Do you have a date?” Astoria asked you. “No, I don't have a date yet.” you muttered. “Aw, I hope you could find a date sooner or later, or maybe your two shining armour would fight for you.” pansy teased. “Wait— who?” daphne joined in.
No one seemed to be listening, they knew how to dance, pretty sure it was only Ron and a few 3rd years. “Draco and potter ofcourse!” Astoria rolled her eyes on her sister. “I don't know..” yn began to fiddle with her rings. “cmon yn, we see how they both look at you!” Tracey giggled. “Okay, I know for a fact you fancy one of them. Please don't tell me it's potter—” pansyʼs voiced cracked and cringed at the end.
“No! I see Harry as more of a brother.. I guess.” she whispered hoping hermione or other gryffindor girls won't hear her. She knew how Harry would be very much heart broken.
“Ooo! What about draco?”. “Well I, like—” she pauses and made a love heart gesture. “him.” yn finished her sentence. The slytherin girls squeled silently.
——
The next week;
“Mate, you should ask yn.” Ron suggested. “I know! I know.. But I just don't know how.” Harry shook his head. When three durmstrang students were walking towards three other hogwarts student, as the three girls giggled. “Hello myʼlady, would you care to join the Yule Ball with me?” he kissed her hand.
As the other girl looked at her friends nodding their heads smiling. She looked back at the three boys. “Yes” that simple. Harry thought, if he wasn't awkward around her. I would have the confidence, to ask yn out.
Only 1 problem tho, draco. He was well aware how the both of them had been so close lately. He's afraid of rejection.
——
After thirty minutes of random babbling from proffesor Trelawny. Harry decided to ask you out now. When Harry found her sitting alone in the corridor, he prepped him self using a charm to fix his appearance, mostly his messy hair. He began to walk towards her. But when he was finally near for her to see Harry. Draco fucking malfoy. Ofcourse.
“Oh, hi Harry. Draco, what do I owe the pleasure to see you two together?” yn looked at the two boys, draco looked at the raven haired boy, if looks could kill. Harry would be dead as his parents. sorry—😶
“ugh, don't mind scar head yn.” draco rolled his eyes in anoyance. “ehm, Yn..*cough* would you like to go to the Yule Ball with me?” Harry scratched his neck, looking nervous— no. Terrified. Harry's actions and words made draco even more mad. “No! I'm asking her out potter! Go find another date.” draco puts his hand on the girl's shoulder. “Go with me instead yn.” he smiled down at the girl whose shoulders was on his hand. “I asked first!”
As the two boys were arguing. Yn dozed off thinking who should she take as a date. If Draco, oh my goood— it would be the dream. She had a massive fat crush on the boy. On the other hand. Harry—it would be awkward since she didn't see him as anything else, than a brother figure and a friend. She would definitely feel extremely guilty.
“Who do you choose yn?” Harry and Draco looked over to her. She was looking star strucked. “I don't know.. Please can you give me a few days before the ball?” she pleaded. “Alright.” the boys said in usion glaring at eachother and left. “Oh no.”
——
A few days in the week, Harry and Draco were awfully, nice to her. Saving her favorites for dinner, lunch, breakfast. Doing her homework. And more. It really made her more and more uncomfortable, she already knew she'd probably end up with draco, only problem is. Harry.
She was walking down the hall way, and saw Harry and— pavarti. As if her legs had been paralyzed, it stayed. She couldn't help hut eavesdrop. “Okay„ but why me?” pavarti asked. “because, if yn won't go out with me. I need a ball partner, because I'm in the triwizard tournament.” he fiddled with his finger. “And I'm pretty sure yn would probably tell me by now.” as if on que.
Draco arrived with a devilish smile on his face. “ha! You've already given up on yn? I'm sure now she'd go out with me.” he said cockily. “I'm gonna go.” pavarti slid away to the corridors. “Shut your mouth malfoy. Where are you dogs?” reffering to crabbe and goyle.
Yn decided it was best to stop hiding and show herself, the two boys were already clenching their fist and growling like some animals. “Hi..guys..” yn said nervously. Sweat forming into her clammy hands. “Hi yn” the boys smiled cheekily, “I've thought about it.. And” she pauses her self for a second. “Im— really, really sorry harry, I only see you as a friend, more likely a brother.” she muttered fidgeting with the hem of her robes.
As Harry's smile turned into a frown quickly. “I'm sorry Harry, I really am. I hope you can forgive me.” she bit her lip. Draco was still smiling knowing he was right, he won. That's something to gloat about. Harry sighed “It's alright yn, thanks for considering though.” he nodded and left. “so..”
“So..” yn looked up at the gleaming blonde. “You want to go to the dance with me?” he asked once again. “yes Malfoy.” she smiled leaning in. It's finally happening. She kissed him. Her arms quickly found his neck, deepening the kiss. His face was flushed, he was shocked and nervous at the same time. Luckily he kissed back.
That's how yn was able to go with draco malfoy to the ball, without any trouble.

Hey lovey! Could I request a mcyt headcanon thing of how they each are in bed?
hi angel , and of course ! as always im sorry this took forever lmao . hope u enjoy (((:
AYO LOOK AT THESE : smut ! rough sex , choking , scratching , hair pulling , breeding / unprotected sex (wrp it b4 u tap it , bbys) , overstimulation , light bondage , i think thats all (:
reblogs are always appreciated <3
dream :
out of all the feral boys dream is the roughest for sure
it's all his gamer rage coming out
he truly has to control himself  / hold back
because he wants to fuck you until you cant remember your own name
but doesnt want to break you
he’s not the biggest fan or foreplay , only because he’d much rather feel you wrapped around him
but he loves to go down on you
would prep you with his fingers because lord knows you’ll need it
and once you started to squirm he’d get so cocky
“if you cant take my fingers , you definitely cant take all of me, baby .”
so many pet names - baby , kitten , pretty girl , bunny , bun , my little whore
he’d make you cum twice on his fingers alone
and wouldn’t fuck you until he was aching for any sort of stimulation
wouldn’t use protection (w your consent !!!)
the thought of his cum deep inside you , painting your insides … it fucks him UP
you KNOW clay would be the motherfucker to slap his dick on your pussy
would groan at the sound of how wet you were for him
he’d run the tip of his cock through your folds and collect your arousal
until you were begging him to fuck you - and even then he’d wait a moment longer
he’d ease in slowly , making sure you felt every single inch 
and would praise the FUCK out of you
“look so pretty taking my cock , bunny”
he’d stop to let you adjust to his length, but he’d be so arrogant as you bucked your hips
“want more , sweet thing ?”
you’d just nod , the pressure building in your tummy too much to produce words
and clay would grab at your chin so fuCKING agressivley
“i asked you a question , whore .”
he would just ruin you (in the most respectful way possible)
you’d cum for the third time within mere seconds
the room would be filled with the sound of harsh , slapping skin
you moans mixing with his - it was like a symphony to him
at some point your legs would go completely limp from the shear amount of pleasure clay was providing
and he’d circle an arm around your hips , holding your body to his as you came yet again
he’d get progressively less vocal as he approached his high , his raspy moans turning to rough growls and groans
and he’d bury himself deep inside of you as he came , muttering scratchy praises into the crook of your neck
as you and clay started to come down together it would be a complete 180
he’d pull out so gently , watching the way his cum dripped out of you
and would press sweet , tender kisses to every inch of skin he could get his mouth on
clay would run soft fingers over every bruise , every mark he left on your skin
admiring his work
he loves the way you look after sex - all fucked out and dewy eyed
would wet a washcloth with warm water and clean you up while murmuring over and over how much he loved you
the two of you would fall asleep pretty quickly after in a tangled mess of limbs
sex with him is quite the workout
george :
gogs <3
i have many thoughts on this subject yall
wakin up in the mornin , thinkin about so many things
would LOVE foreplay
something about being so intimate but not actually fucking is so <3 to him
he loves every single moment of it
starting from when a simple peck turns to something deeper
george’s tongue rolling over yours as he cups a hand under your jaw 
would do the thumb thing™ on your cheek
his free hand would roam up and down the curve of your hips
then up and under your shirt
the way that your breath hitched would make him sh i v e r
and george would start kissing down your neck and over your jaw to your neck
loves hickeys
and biting you
he’d take yall to some place soft if you weren’t already there and start to undress you
adores the action of getting you out of your clothes and insists on taking your shirt off himself
is obsessed w your titties
rolling your nipples between his fingers
sucking on the sensitive nubs , flicking his tongue over them until you could cry from pleasure
then leaves sloppy , hot kisses all the way down your body
is so good with his hands
knows the exact way to curl his fingers inside you
and is very good at keeping a rhythm that pushes you over the edge
but truly have you seen that boys hands because like
he’s all about pleasuring you in bed
it's his number one priority
and he knows your body incredibly well
the boy knows how to make you cum without even trying
yall have experimented and figured out what feels best
and he’s perfected those techniques
on the non physical side of things however
sex with george would be s i n f u l
the things he would say to you …
and in his fucking ACCENT no less
starlight has a voice kink
god he would talk so fucking dirty
the filthiest things falling from his lips as he’s thrusting in and out of you
he’d be so vocal
“just like that , love ,” he’d pant before throwing his head back
his fingers would dig into your hips as his moans turned to whimpers

at the end of the day he absolutely worships you
karl : 
karl jacobs , love of starlight’s life
i just think that he <3
karl has stated that he’s on the ace spectrum
so i think that sex with him wouldn’t be near as much about physicality
its about the intimacy and connection that comes with that for yall
and mans would make you feel so loved ,,,
he’d kiss every single inch of your body
and hold you so close to him as you two were getting undressed

one of his favorite feelings in the world is your thighs tightening around his head
and your hands tugging at his hair as he makes you come undone over and over
you’re his favorite taste in the entire world
sex with karl would be sweet and soft and so so so intimate

Unwithering | Bakugou Katsuki x Reader (1)
Tumblr media
Part Two
Pairing: Bakugou Katsuki x fem!reader
Prompt: Flower shop AU, “I think I’m in love with you.”
Warnings: Mild Swearing. Flowery language (pun intended 😉... I’ll show myself out)
Word Count: 2,250
Taglist: Reply to this post if you want to be added for future chapters!
A/N: This is for @bnhabookclub​ event going on! Thank you for giving new writers in the fandom, like me, a place to promote their work. Shout out to @smolmilkyways​ for letting me use this beautiful piece of fanart above! Go check them out! Also, thanks @gallickingun​ for letting me tag you in my first fic. You gave me some pretty solid advice that pushed me to get this out here. This was originally a one-shot, but of course it turned into a multi-chap, so stay tuned for more! 
🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
“I think I’m in love with you.”
Your fists gripped the hem of your dress. The sunflowers on it reminded you of him; a burning sun at the center of your universe. The boy in front of you crinkled his forehead at your statement; as if the love you spent years building up the courage to confess was no more than a pebble - insignificant - that he could kick to the side without a second thought.
Midoriya gave you a slight thumbs up from the back, but the rest of the boys cackled with no remorse. 
“You hear that, Bakugou? She looovvveesss you!”
“Freaky flower girl and Bakugou sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G”
“Awww is she gonna cry?”
The lump in your throat was difficult to swallow, but you refused to prove them right. It would only add fuel to the fire threatening to burn the seed planted in your heart.
He stepped toward you. The scent of burnt sugar filled your lungs; like fresh apples picked from your mother’s garden, dipped in melted caramel. You heard it’s a side effect from his quirk, but it was the first time you were close enough to experience it for yourself. 
You willed your eyes to find his. The soft breeze blowing past provided a cooling relief to the intense heat felt in your cheeks. When your eyes locked, a spark flashed within his own. You couldn’t catch it in time, but your heart stuttered in response.
 Any chance of a flower blooming died the next moment.
“I’ll never love a weak girl like you.”
A year passed before you saw Katsuki Bakugou again.
🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
“Here’s your pickup order, Tanaka-san, I’m sure your wife will love them!” 
You ring up the older gentleman who’s been a regular at your mother’s flower shop for years. His wife loves the smell of scented geranium, a sweet apricot that never fails to remind her of the orchards back home. He’s convinced your flowers are the reason she’s still here; the true medicine to her illness.
You always deny this statement, shaking your head with a playful giggle, but the compliment warms you. It’s nice to hear people cared about your flowers.
“She loves only the ones made by you, dearest.”
He winks as his shaking hands grab the large bouquet. You smile and turn your hand, palm up, towards Tanaka whose eyes never fail to widen in awe at your quirk in action. A small stem sprouts from the center of your palm, growing taller by the second. You hone in on the bright yellow dot on the center of each petal. A wash of white forms around each dot, acting as a transition for the violet that envelops the rest of the petals.
Each petal opens up one by one to reveal a golden bud. 
You hand the flower to Tanaka.
“On the house,” you wink back. 
“Oh very nice, very nice, indeed,” he bows in thanks, “What is the meaning of this one?”
“Irises give hope. In Chinese tradition, it is referred to as ‘the purple butterfly’ because its petals flutter like butterflies.” 
The breeze from outside trails in at the perfect time and the petals flutter about.
“Very pretty,” Tanaka remarks, “I’ll be sure to let the misses know about this one!”
He thanks you one more time before walking out with a newfound spring in his step; the lone flower nestled in the pocket of his worn out janitor uniform. 
You’ve been working at Paradise Blooms for the past three years after your parents separated, and your mom needed the extra hand more than ever. It was difficult balancing school and work, especially when you were busy prepping for U.A. exams last year, but you could never say no to your mom. She’s been the constant in your life since day one.
The back door to the supply room squeaks.
“A little help here?” 
All you see is the top of your mom’s head, adorned with a multi-colored flower crown. Her face is covered by the high pile of crates she’s trying not to drop. You rush to catch the top crate before it tumbles.
“Phew. That was a close one. Thanks, honey!” 
She bends down to take the supplies out, arranging the items on the counters around the shop. She weaves through the aisles - it looks more like a garden than an actual shop, in your opinion, but you think it gives the place character. She stops at the row of potted flowers sitting on the far right of the shop, soaking in the sunlight cast through the window. It’s the new collection your mom got in time for the 2020 Garden Glow Event. Every year, flower shops all over the city participated in an annual gardening event to educate the public on gardening techniques with fun activities for the children. Your mom spent hours on the phone dealing with difficult vendors to get this specific collection for the event. Water sprinkles out from her palm as she takes the time to water each and every flower.
Since there’s no customers at the moment, you grab the broom from the storeroom and set to sweeping around the shop. It’s not long before your mom’s watering routine is interrupted by her phone ringing.
“Hello?” You continue sweeping, gently humming along to the tune playing through the speakers, but your voice catches when you hear, “Mitsuki! Hi! How are you?” 
Mitsuki? Your mom couldn’t possibly be talking to Mitsuki... Bakugou? 
Your knuckles turn white from squeezing the life out of the poor broom as you wait for confirmation. 
“I think I’m in love with you.”
The memories you tried so hard to forget come flooding all at once.
“I’ll never love a weak girl like you.”
You’re snapped out of the memory.
“Yes, bring him in! Great! See you in a few, bye.” 
Your mother returns to watering the flowers like nothing happened - like that single phone call didn’t just turn your world upside down, after you spent the last year flipping it right side up.
“Who was that?” 
You’re afraid of the answer. 
You promised yourself you moved on from Katsuki Bakugou. It proved to be easier said than done. Even if you both went to separate high schools and most of your days were spent either studying or working; at night is when your thoughts strayed. You wondered what he was up to… was he passing all his classes? You’d giggle at the absurdity of Katsuki not being number one. Was he still bullying Midoriya? Did you ever cross his mind?
Was he happy?
Because more than anything, you wished him happiness - even if that happiness was not with you. Was that weakness? Was wishing for someone’s happiness, who could care less about you, considered weakness? 
“Hm?” Your mom turns to you, “Oh! That was Mitsuki Bakugou. Her son, Katsuki - I believe you went to school with him? Well, he needs a part-time job to help pay for tuition. Can you believe he got into U.A.? Mitsuki must be so proud of him.”
“I figured you’d be happy,” she continues, " I know you’ve been struggling with balancing school and work, so I thought having another person around would help lighten the load a little bit. Besides, I owed Mitsuki a favor.”
Your mother blushes at the last part.
Favor? What favor?
But that’s the last thing on your mind when you suddenly feel the need to pass out.
Katsuki… is… working… here? 
“Honey, are you okay? You look a little pale.”
“I - I’m not sure I can…” you trail off. Your mom didn’t know about your confession to Katsuki. When you came home in tears that day, with your dress all wrinkled, you told her it was because kids were bullying you for trying and failing to get into U.A. 
It was the half-truth. 
“Y/N, did something happen between you and Katsuki? I can call Mitsuki back right now if you don’t feel comfortable with him around.” 
It was as easy as breathing or using your quirk, second nature, all you had to do was utter a two letter word and your mom would immediately have Mitsuki on the line, apologizing for the inconvenience, but making sure to recommend a few places in the area who were hiring. A simple “no” and your world would become right side up again, the boy you loved long forgotten during the day and only remembered at night when there’s nothing to consume your mind, but him. 
Taking the easy way called out to you, beckoning you to relinquish your strength, and give in. But if you couldn’t face one boy, then maybe Katsuki was right. Maybe you were weak. 
“I’m fine, mom, I can work with him,” you say.
Pounding footsteps against the pavement outside cut your mom off from her next words.
“OI! LET ME GO, OLD WOMAN, I’LL KILL YOU!” 
“CALL ME THAT ONE MORE TIME AND SEE WHERE IT GETS YOU!” 
Your breath hitches at the sound. You haven’t heard that voice in over a year; it’s gotten deeper, raspier in tone. You take a few breaths in and out to calm yourself so you don’t melt into the floor at first glance.
The door swings open - the “We’re Open” sign rattles dangerously against the glass -  and in barges Mitsuki Bakugou, dragging her son by the ear.
Katsuki struggles to get out of his mother’s grasp, his arms stretch toward the door, but Mitsuki pulls him all the way inside.
“I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAINING, WOMAN!”
“AND NOW YOU’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF GETTING A JOB!”
“I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THIS SHIT!”
“YOU’LL MAKE TIME!”
Katsuki growls. His palms curving into themselves like he’s trying to reign in his quirk from exploding Paradise Blooms where it stands.
You and your mom look at each other, unsure how to inject yourselves in the rather awkward exchange. Truthfully, you’re not surprised by the interaction; you’ve seen Katsuki and his family at school events in the past. The Bakugous had an… interesting family dynamic. 
Mitsuki notices the both of you watching and immediately releases Katsuki. She smiles and greets your mom with a hug as if the previous interaction never happened.
“Y/Mom’s/N, it’s great to see you! How’s the event planning coming along?”
Your mom and Mitsuki engage in small talk for a couple minutes leaving you to sneak a quick glance over at Katsuki leaning against the door. He’s looking out the window with a scowl on his face. He crosses his arms to stop himself from fisting his palms, a sign you picked up on when he’s itching to get on the field and obliterate. 
You find yourself thinking how beautiful and destructive at the same time.
Once Mitsuki and your mom finish catching up, she directs her attention towards you. 
“And you must be Y/N?  Your mother has told me so much about you!”
You catch the flash of recognition in Katsuki’s eyes, but you’re wrapped in a hug before you can think. The hug is a bit awkward with the counter digging into your side, but the warmth radiating off Mitsuki makes you feel at home. She lets go of you and turns around to where Katsuki is still standing by the door, ready to leave the first chance he gets.
“And this is my son, Katsuki,” she beckons him over, but when he doesn’t move she barks, “Don’t be rude! Get over here and introduce yourself.” 
Katsuki grumbles under his breath, but trudges over. 
“Sup.”
Mitsuki growls and slaps Katsuki over the head, “Oi! Where are your manners!?” 
She glances apologetically, “I’m sorry. He’s… a bit much to handle. I really appreciate you agreeing to hire him. He’s had trouble in the past with defying authority.”
Katsuki scowls at the ground when Mitsuki pats his head affectionately this time. 
“But he’s a good kid at heart, a little rough around the edges, but overall a good kid. I hope you’re able to see that and work with him.” 
She bows; her hand on Katsuki’s head nudges him to do the same. His nose twitches, but he listens this time.
Your mother is an empathetic person, able to walk all paths of life and notice the beauty in each one. It wasn’t like her to turn someone down in need. 
Your mom smiles, “I’m happy to work with Katsuki. What about you, Y/N?”
She’s giving you a way out for the last time. 
Mitsuki looks at you, hope in her eyes.
Doubt laid out its hand for you to take; to lead you away from the pain that still ate away at you everyday. The teasing. The pointing. The rejection from U.A. and from Katsuki. Working with him would force you to face the pain head on.
“I’ll never love a weak girl like you.”
You lock eyes with Katsuki for the first time since that day many moons ago; he’s awaiting your answer, a twinge of hope laced in his eyes overshadowed by a grimace. 
You wonder if you now hold the fuel to the fire threatening to burn the tiny seed of hope he’s trying so hard to bury.
For better or for worse, you were also a person who found beauty in all paths of life.
“Welcome aboard,” you say.

The second Violet woke up the day after her date with Luke, her phone started ringing. Glancing down at the screen, Carrie’s picture smiled back at her. Violet chuckled, not surprised that the girl was FaceTiming her at this moment and immediately picked up. 
Before Violet could even greet her best friend, the blonde girl attacked her with the important question. “How was it? Tell me everything!” 
Violet chuckled as she sat down on her bed with the phone angled in front of her. “It was so amazing! He took me to this fancy Italian restaurant called “Figurati Italia”, which I’m pretty sure means “Imagine Italy”.” She sounded dreamy and resembled a lovesick puppy. It scared Carrie a little as the girl droned on and on about how chivalrous and amazing Luke had been on the date. 
“He did say something about a blind date you guys had set us up on…” Violet continued after minutes of dream-talk about the date. “What’s that about?”
Carrie swallowed harshly. Being reminded of that mistake made the guilt well up in her stomach. “That was – uhm…” She searched her brain for the right words. “Violet – other Violet – was so in love with Luke and the boys knew Luke had a minor crush on Violet too, or at least they thought he did. So, we set them up on a date, before the whole Sunset Curve thing blew up. When they realized what we had done, Luke kinda laughed in her face and told her he’d never date her…” 
Violet’s jaw dropped. “What an asshole!” she snarled. “And you let me go out with him?!”
“I’m sorry, Vi! But this is different, this is – this is to get you back!” 
Violet chuckled, her second of anger switching out into worry. “And what if that’s not how we get me back?” 
“Then we’re just gonna have to find another way and in the meanwhile, get you used to this universe?” Carrie suggested. Her stomach felt weird in that moment, like a bad omen, a foreboding that something terrible was going to happen. 
The brunette girl nodded her head slowly, trying to wrap her mind around the idea of being here. Forever. She wasn’t the Violet that used to live here. She was nothing like her. Or at least, she didn’t think she was, judging from the stories she’d heard. People would notice, at some point that she wasn’t who they knew her to be. There had to be a way to mislead them. To learn to be the Violet they knew. 
“Do you know if Violet had some sort of diary? Just so I can get a sense of what she was like, how her brain worked and stuff?” 
Carrie pondered over it for a moment. “She did have this songbook she used to write her songs and thoughts into? I believe she hid it in her nightstand.” 
Violet immediately dove towards the white nightstand and opened the first drawer, finding a bright blue fake leather notebook with ‘VGD’ embossed in gold on the front. 
“I found it…” 
Curiosity rose within both girls. Carrie had never been allowed to look into that unless it was a song Violet was willing to share. Though she knew there was more in there than she was allowed to see. Violet’s biggest secrets, her deepest thoughts. They were all stored in there and now, the girls were granted a free pass into Violet’s mind. 
“What’s in it?” Carrie asked. 
“Songs, mostly,” Violet replied as she browsed through the notebook. She halted at a song titled ‘Homesick’ and as her eyes scanned the lyrics, she could feel every single feeling her parallel self was feeling in that moment. Her eyes halted at the date that was scribbled at the very top of the page. “Care… Around what time did you set her up with Luke on that blind date?” 
“Uhm…” Carrie hummed as she pondered about the question. “I’d say around March 2018 or something.” 
Violet’s heart dropped. “Huh…” 
“What?” Carrie asked. 
“I think Violet may have written a song about him,” she mumbled, but Carrie heard her, loud and clear. “It’s kinda heartbreaking…” Her fingers traced over the stains of run-out ink. Violet had been crying while writing this song. “Luke’s an asshole…”
“That’s no news,” Carrie scoffed. 
Violet stared at the paper while the gears in her brain started doing their work. “He needs to pay for what he did… He needs to pay for breaking that poor girl’s heart.” 
“And how are you gonna do that? He’s so self-absorbed and obsessed with his fame, he won’t even notice you’re trying to make him pay for what he did…” Carrie reasoned, but to no avail. Violet was already plotting the perfect scheme in her mind. 
“Vivi,” her mother walking into her room made her snap out of her train of thought. “Can you go to the store for me, please? I forgot the feta cheese for dinner tonight.” 
Violet rolled her eyes at her mother. “Of course, ma, I’ll go in a minute.” 
“Don’t call me ‘ma’,” her mother frowned. “And get outta bed, it’s past noon!” 
The girl managed a smile. “Sorry, mom. I’ll go in a minute.” 
Her mother shot her a smile before turning on her heel and leaving her daughter’s bedroom, letting Violet and Carrie to their conversation. 
“I hear there’s a super cute new bag boy in the store around the corner,” Carrie informed with a smirk. “Total cool guy. Guitarist and has a motorcycle.” 
“Huh,” Violet hummed as the gears in her brain started working yet again. “I do have a thing for guitarists, don’t I?” 
“That you do,” Carrie agreed. 
Violet chuckled before saying goodbye to Carrie and getting off her bed. After throwing on some fresh clothes and doing her makeup, Violet left the house for the store with the scheme unfolding in her brain. The new bag boy would be the perfect pawn in her plan. 
Though, when she entered the store and laid her eyes on the new bag boy, she didn’t expect him to be this gorgeous. His sharp jawline and high cheekbones, along with the perfect swoopy brown hair was enough for her heart to nearly burst out of her chest. 
“Fuck,” she muttered and made her way towards the cheese aisle. With her mind set on the pretty bag boy, she searched the shelves for the feta cheese and once she had found it, she reached for it. Being in such a rush, however, caused her to take the packet behind it with her, causing it to fall to the floor. “God dammit, stupid cheese,” she groaned to herself as she bend down to pick it up. 
A hand bumped with hers as she reached for it, and, when she looked up, she stared straight into Pretty Boy’s light brown eyes. Violet swore they stared right through her soul, baring every little piece of her. 
“What’s the cheese done to you?” he asked, chuckling as the two of them got up again, both holding the cheese. 
She regathered herself from the impact the boy had on her ovaries and flicked a strand of hair out of her face. “It did what I want you to do.” She confidently said, her lips slightly parting as it had always been one of the many tricks she had up her sleeve. 
Pretty Boy’s eyes skidded from the left to the right, trying to figure out what she meant. 
Smirking, Violet wrapped her hand tighter around the cheese and, as he was still holding it, pulled it closer towards her, pulling him along until his face was inches away from hers. “Fall for me,” she whispered before letting go and pushing past him. 
“You got plans tonight?” he shouted after her. 
Violet smirked and turned around, glad her plan was working. “Yep, I’ll be at Red and Blue tonight,” she told him, hoping he’d get the hint. Judging by the smirk that lifted his plump lips, Violet knew she was winning. 
“I’ll see you there then.” 
And the boy managed to keep his word. That night, when Violet was at Red and Blue with Julie, Flynn and Carrie, the Pretty Boy showed up too. Her breath hitched in her throat as she noticed him approach her. 
“You didn’t,” Carrie gasped in Violet’s ear. 
“I did.” She smiled at the boy. “Hey,” she greeted when he was close enough. 
“Fancy seeing you here,” he teased as he reached for her hand and kissed the back of it like a true gentleman. “I never got your name.” 
She went on her tiptoes and pressed her lips against his ear. “Violet Dawson,” she introduced herself over the loud music. 
“Marcus. Marcus Baker.”  The two of them smiled at one another, causing Violet’s world to stop spinning for just a moment. “Wanna dance closer to the DJ? The atmosphere’s always better there.” Violet bit down on her lower lip as she nodded her head in response. Marcus then led her through the sea of dancing people, holding on tight to her hand. 
As the two danced together to the music, Violet noticed Luke walking into the club with his bandmates closeby. His eyes skidded across the crowd and halted when they met Violet’s. He hadn’t even noticed who she was dancing with until he had approached them. 
“Hey,” he said, “Who’s this?” 
“Marcus,” Pretty Boy introduced himself with a smile as he reached his hand out for Luke to shake, which the rockstar completely ignored. “Okay…”
“You wanna get out of here?” Luke asked Violet, cocking his head towards the door. 
Violet’s eyebrows knitted together, “I’m actually having fun, Luke. I’d rather stay.” She looked up at Marcus, shooting him a quick, apologetic smile. “But you can go if you’re not having fun.” 
“Oh, uhm… No, I’m staying. You want something to drink?” he asked instead, and Violet could tell he was getting a little nervous. 
“Sure. You want something, Marcus?” 
Marcus hummed and grabbed Violet’s hand again before guiding her towards the bar, leaving Luke to trail behind them. 
“When were you gonna tell me you had a boyfriend?” Marcus asked, his lips pressed to her ear to make sure only she would hear. 
Violet chuckled. “Oh, he’s not my boyfriend. We went on like one date and I think he’s desperate for another, but I’m not really that interested.” 
“Ah,” said Marcus, nodding his head. “You need me to make sure he knows that?” 
Violet smirked. “No, I’ve got another idea for that.” She said and confidently made her way to the stage. Marcus watched as she walked, his lips turned up into a smirk. 
She grabbed the microphone on the stand and cleared her throat before nodding at the band, telling them to start playing the song. While the upbeat, bass-driven music chimed through the venue, the girl started swaying her hips before starting to sing with her eyes focused on Luke. 
“You thought I'd worry That I've made the wrong decision But I'm moving on way faster than I thought I think I've grown out Your destructive efforts Still you're holding on to all the things we loved”
A soft, yet distinctive guitar riff chimed in at the pre-chorus and when she looked up, she found Marcus next to her with a guitar in his hands and a smile on his face. 
“You want me to come back Like I want you anytime Now I'm here with somebody Now it's the sad boy you play out And again I'm falling Yet again that's no surprise Thought I left it behind”
Having Marcus there gave her the confidence to really go for it on the chorus. She started moving her hips to the music while singing the lyrics to Luke, who stood near the bar, watching her and Marcus like a hawk. 
“But I don't want this You think I want you back But I'm so over this Boy bye And I'm not homesick You think I want you back But I'm so over this For now?”
The music went back to its bass-driven core and while Violet focused on Luke at the back of the club, Marcus couldn’t keep his eyes off of Violet as she sang. From the moment they had met, he had found her interesting. She was this overly confident, attractive woman and it intrigued him. He wanted to know what she was compensating for. 
“Friends keep asking why we're not together So I guess you haven't told 'em what you did Oh You may be sorry It's not better late than never And I think this time I'm glad we called it quits”
As even Marcus grew more confident on the guitar, Violet made her way over to him and leaned on his shoulder. This action made him look up. Neither of them could hide the smile crawling to their lips as their eyes locked. 
“You want me to come back Like I want you anytime Now I'm here with somebody Now it's the sad boy you play out And again I'm falling Yet again that's no surprise Thought I left it behind”
She stepped away from Marcus again and for a few seconds, kept eye contact with him until she got lost in the music and let herself go during the chorus. 
“But I don't want this You think I want you back But I'm so over this Boy bye And I'm not homesick You think I want you back But I'm so over this For now?”
Her eyes landed on Luke again to see his reaction on her performance. She didn’t like what she saw though. He looked at her in the same way he had during their dinner. The literal embodiment of the heart eyes emoji. It frustrated her, but it didn’t distract her from the song. 
“But we gotta stop the playing round The playing round For Gods sake Oh we gotta quit the playing round It's more than we can take Oh we gotta stop this playing round The playing round For Gods sake Oh we gotta stop the playing round It's more than we can take”
“But I don't want this You think I want you back But I'm so over this Boy bye And I'm not homesick You think I want you back But I'm so over this For now?”
Marcus took Violet’s glance his way as a sign to really go at it on the guitar and show off a little. It did seem to impress her as she turned towards him, giving him that same smirk she did in the store. 
“But I’m so over this Boy bye And I'm not homesick You think I want you back But I'm so over this Boy bye Boy bye”
She let out a very last hum as the band stopped playing, Marcus included. The crowd then burst out into applause and even the guitar boy next to her clapped for her. Her cheeks heated up whilst she locked eyes with him. 
“I didn’t know you could sing,” Marcus said, placing the guitar back where he found it. 
Violet shrugged. “Didn’t know you played guitar.” That was a lie, Carrie did tell her that, but it was the right thing to say as it caused Marcus to bare his pearly white teeth that nearly caused Violet to get a heart attack. 
“That was hot,” Luke grunted in her ear when she and Marcus approached the bar for another drink.  
Violet furrowed her eyebrows. “You didn’t get the hint, did ya?” she asked and Luke tilted his head a little, the smirk vanishing from his face. “Leave me alone, Luke. Please?” 
“Wha– Violet?” Before he could say anything else, Marcus had already whisked her away to go and dance on the dancefloor with a drink in their hand. None of it made much sense to Luke, but he figured it was just the new way Violet operated. Maybe she didn’t want to be exclusive. Maybe he needed to try harder. 
And that’s what he was going to do. 
Try harder.  
Tumblr media
Violet was almost scared to turn up to practice the next day. Luke would probably hate her for rejecting him and it would make everything awkward and weird. It wasn’t going to end well and she knew that. 
When she arrived at the garage, she was proven right. Luke acted cold towards her as soon as she entered the studio and everyone could feel how the warm, comfortable bond they had, had turned ice cold. 
“No, Bobby!” Luke groaned for the nth time that rehearsal. “It’s a B chord, not a C chord! Are you ever gonna get it right?!” His voice was thundering through the garage and it startled each and every person in that room. 
Violet glanced over to Carrie, who furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. She hadn’t been informed about the conversation Violet and Luke had had the other day, but she could tell something had been off about the two since rehearsal started. 
“Luke, calm down!” Alex yelled at the lead guitarist. He did know what had happened between the two and he knew Luke was taking it out on everybody else instead of owning up to it like an adult. 
Luke scoffed, “No, Alex! This is exactly why we broke up in the first place! Because we don’t work!” His eyes flicked over to Violet, making her feel like there was a different layer to that sentence. They wouldn’t work either. 
“No, you’re just mad because you got rejected!” Alex fought back. At least someone mentioned the elephant in the room. The girls on the sofa gasped and all three of them immediately looked at Violet, who shrunk in her seat behind the piano. 
Luke clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth. “Rub it in, why don’t you?” he muttered before placing his guitar on its stand and gathering his stuff. 
As he started to make his way to the door, Violet got out from behind the piano and ran after him. “You can’t run out of rehearsal, Luke! Come on! Just because I didn’t wanna go on a date with you, doesn’t mean you have to quit the band!” 
“I do though,” he said and turned around. With a few large, but slow-paced steps, he stopped in front of the brunette girl that had broken his heart and hurt his fragile reputation. 
“Why?” 
Sighing, Luke muttered,“Because I joined for you, you idiot.” 
Violet couldn't possibly say anything to that and let Luke walk away again. The feelings she had been feeling for him all this time finally got reciprocated. By a different version of Luke, that is, but still. It didn’t quite matter which Luke said it. She heard it coming from his mouth. The words she’d been wanting to hear for years. 
“I am so sorry, guys,” she breathed, hiding her face in her hands. “This is all my fault.” 
“It’s not your fault, Violet,” Reggie said, shrugging. “Luke’s just stubborn. He can’t take no for an answer.” 
It was supposed to make her feel better, but it didn’t quite. She had ruined any and all chances she had of returning to her own universe just because one version of that guy had hurt her years ago. 
“Can we end rehearsal early then?” Alex questioned, coming out from behind his drums. “I got a date with Willie tonight.” 
Violet smiled. At least that was a thing here. “Yeah, sure. It’s not like we’re gonna be able to perform at Chubbie’s anyway,” she said, shrugging. 
“We’ll get there, don’t worry,” Alex tried to soothe her and placed a hand on her shoulder as he passed her on his way to the door. 
“Yeah, we’ll be ready in time,” Reggie agreed as he, along with Julie and Flynn left the garage, leaving Violet with the Wilsons. 
Violet shook her head, trying to wrap it around what had just happened. “How can we be ready in time when the gig is this weekend?” she mumbled to herself when Carrie wrapped her arms around the girl. 
“I know how to get your mind off of everything,” she said, pressing her temple against Violet’s. “Girl’s night at my place.” 
Violet couldn’t help the smile reaching her cheeks. That did sound like a good plan. The best plan, even. It would keep her mind off Luke and the gig and the whole universe thing. It would calm her nerves and anxieties. 
Or at least, she thought it would until they arrived at the Wilson’s house. A group of girls stood at the front door, angry expressions on their faces and arms crossed in front of their chests. 
“Where have you guys been?” Kayla asked, grumpily. “We’ve been waiting here for over an hour!” 
Carrie squeezed her eyes shut. “Fuck, I forgot about rehearsal…” she muttered. 
“Rehearsal for what?” Violet questioned, unaware of any gigs that were happening for Dirty Candy. Though, judging from Kayla’s shocked face, there was a gig she should be aware of. 
“The gig this Saturday!” she sneered. “A mega-important gig at that!” 
Carrie and Violet glanced at each other, eyes widened in complete horror. The exact same day as the gig at Chubbie’s with the boys from Sunset Curve. As Kayla and the girls started yelling at Carrie and Violet, the latter completely zoned out. She couldn’t hear a word of what was said. All she could think about was how she might be stuck here for the rest of her life if she didn’t perform at Chubbie’s on Saturday with the boys. 
What if they didn’t show up after that humongous fight? What if that wouldn’t be the thing they had to do to get her back? 
The girl’s storming off snapped Violet out of her thoughts, yet she still found herself in some sort of state of shock. Nothing felt right anymore and everything kind of sucked. There was no way she was ever going to survive in this universe if stuff like this kept happening. 
“Vi?” she could hear Bobby’s voice in the far distance. “Are you okay?” 
She coughed, shaking herself back. “Yeah… Yeah. I’m okay,” she clearly lied but the Wilsons didn’t push further and instead took her inside where the girls watched some movies together. 
Within half an hour, Carrie had already fallen asleep and Violet couldn’t bear watching the rest of the movie. Her mind was restless and kept running back and forth over her options and every possible scenario that could happen. 
There was only one thing that could keep her mind off everything. So, she hoisted herself up from the couch and made her way to the music room where she took a seat at the piano. 
Her fingers grazed the keys, letting a soft melody fly out the instrument. A content sigh left her body as she let the music take her away. It felt nice to let everything out of her system. It seemed to be her one and only escape to her from this crazy world. 
“You okay, Vi?” Bobby’s voice shook her out of her thoughts, causing to stop playing the piano. “You seemed a little out of it earlier.” He moved over towards her and sat down next to her. Their shoulders touched and it caused a weird spark to send shivers down Violet’s back. Something she had never felt before. 
“Yeah… Everything’s just… a lot, you know?” Bobby tilted his head, urging her to elaborate. “The switching universes, Luke suddenly being into me, the pressure of being in Dirty Candy…. It’s just – a lot… I’m used to being on my own, writing music with my best friends, but now I’m suddenly supposed to be this whole other person…. It’s exhausting.” 
A single tear rolled down her cheek, which Bobby caught with his thumb just before it reached her lip. The two locked eyes and for a second, Violet found herself drowning in his eyes. She had never noticed how gorgeous they were until now. The dark brown, the slight twinkle that was in them. She had never seen him up close like this. Her eyes took that liberty to scan his entire face. From his eyes to his nose and cheeks to his lips. Before they could move back to his eyes, Bobby closed the gap between the two of them and kissed her, full on the lips. 
Violet was startled, at first, but quickly melted away under his touch, closing her eyes as he deepened the kiss. The kiss lasted longer than it should’ve, but Violet didn’t quite mind. Or at least not until her mind drifted back to Luke and she felt like she was kissing him instead of Bobby. 
This caused her to flinch back. 
“Sorry! I shouldn’t have…. I’m sorry,” she quickly muttered before getting up and running out. 
Though it was a mistake to Violet, Bobby didn’t quite see it like that. If it were up to him, this would’ve happened a lot earlier and could happen a lot more often. He had never admitted it to anyone, but he had been in love with Violet for years. Those feelings had never been reciprocated, so he didn’t act up on them either. Violet was just Violet. Until now.

Tumblr media
"Fuck- She's losing too much blood, Boss, she's not gonna make it!"
"No, no. She's going to make it- I'll make sure of it. Stay alive!"
Your vision was dark and blurry- you couldn't quite see anything. You could only make out a few silhouettes hovering above you, each one rushing around and yelling frantically. You couldn't count how many were there. Your vision kept doubling and it was hard to discern one person from three. Focusing just caused things to get worse.
"Someone put pressure on the damn wound! She certainly won't make it if you all keep messing around."
It was only now that you noticed a sharp pain radiating from your chest, right below your ribs. You gasped loudly and coughed. It hurt worse than the throbbing that already coursed through your head. Your body burned.
Trying to look down, you saw a rag soaked in blood. Hands with bright nails pressed down on your wound to slow the flow, but it didn't seem to be helping. You started feeling dizzy and laid back again, clenching your eyes tight as nausea engulfed you.
"No, keep your eyes open, Y/N, dammit! Wake up!"
Slowly, the pain began fading, as did your view of the people above you and their voices. You could still barely hear the voice crying, sobbing out your name. Whoever they were, they were crushed.
"Wake up!"
Was that voice finally fading away too?
"Wake up!"
No- it was getting louder.
"Wake up!"
"Ellie, what the fuck do you want?" You groaned, rolling over on your bed.
Your roommate bounced on her knees, making your bed creak loudly. "What do you mean? It's like 10am, your class is at 11. Don’t talk to me with that tone of voice."
"Fuck me."
"Absolutely not, baby." Ellie smacked a pillow beside you and got up. "Get ready!" She went to her own room, leaving you to your own devices.
When you applied for an apartment roommate, Ellie was certainly not the one you were expecting. You would've preferred a chill, laid-back, person. Instead, Eleonora Yumizuru walked into your life (and apartment) and practically made herself at home. She didn't judge you from transferring so far away from your old home for your last year of college, claiming that "home roots don't mean shit when it comes to making it in the real world".
She had the right to say such a thing, having moved to Fodlan from another country in her youth. She was able to understand the occasional homesickness and help you cope as you adjusted to Fodlan life. She understood you like the back of her hand from the moment you met and you did the same for her.
Really, you had to let her move in. She’d probably have stayed even if you rejected her.
She was the complete opposite of what you were looking for- overconfident, stubborn, loud- but she grew on you and easily became your best friend. There was just something about the bubbly, blue-eyed, blonde-bobbed bitch that hooked you.
She had certainly hooked other people as well, but thank God her bedroom is on the other side of the apartment. Her social skills and magnetic personality worked for platonic friends and acquaintances as well. Ellie was constantly bringing over friends, allowing you to expand your own circle. She was heaven-sent for a newbie like you.
You sat up from your bed, yawning and stretching. Trudging to your bathroom, you rolled your eyes as the infamous Taylor Swift blared through Ellie's speakers, "Shake it Off" shaking the entire apartment. Nothing against T. Swift, but sometimes she was not the first thing you want to hear when you wake up. At least not at max volume. Ignoring the song switching to "You Belong With Me" -another banger from Swift herself, but really "Teardrops on My Guitar” was your favorite- you finished getting ready and lazed into Ellie's room.
"I've got class 'till late today." You sat on her bed. "Do you want me to pick up dinner? It’ll let me explore the area."
"Oh, please do. You need to get out more. But where?"
You shrugged. "There's really only like two good food places here. Golden Pizza and Blue Lion Buffet. Your choice."
Ellie thought for a moment. "I went to the buffet with my little friend Touma the other day... so pizza! I just can't choose a side in their little spat."
"Spat?" You tilted your head.
"Goodness, Y/N! I know you're a little new here, but you haven't even heard of the shit that goes on between those restaurant owners?"
Shaking your head, you stayed silent for her to continue.
"The owners of Blue Lion Buffet, Eagle's Freezery, and Golden Pizza are all huge rivals. I heard they were all close, but went their separate ways. All the owners' kids are our age, too. They go to Fodlan Uni, but I don't know who they are." She smiled. "I am an esteemed woman with an upcoming high status. Who would I be to take sides? I prefer to cater to them all."
You could only nod, hiding a smirk at Ellie’s infatuation of fame. A huge restaurant rivalry. How funny. "What about that little cafe on the corner? What's it called? Café des Loups?"
"They're pretty neutral, just some college dropouts trying to make some money. I think they’re gonna get involved eventually- every restaurant’s been dragged into their drama at least once."
You nodded, standing up and messing with your apartment keys. "I'll keep that in mind. Bye, Ellie!"
"Bye! I better see some pizza later!" She called as you made your way out of the apartment, now playing "I Knew You Were Trouble".

College was honestly a scam.
You sat in the classes for two hours at a time, for what? You were paying thousands of dollars to be talked at by old dusty men who made you fall asleep faster than trying to read their overpriced textbooks. You paid thousands to nap at a desk.
Unfortunately for you, though, your thousand dollar desk nap was interrupted by a tapping on the surface. You huffed and looked up, coming face to face with a pair of soft, orange eyes. They radiated kindness and just looking into them seemed to lift your mood immediately.
"Hey, you need to wake up for this part. The professor said there's gonna be a quiz on this section tomorrow."
You shot up, looking back at your professor. Blushing embarrassedly, you smiled at the boy. "Thank you..."
"Ferdinand." He drew his bottom lip in between his teeth, as if to conceal his smile, before giving up and returning yours just as brightly.
As you faced forward to Professor Hanneman, as you were pretty sure his name was- or was it Ham Man? You didn’t care enough to know- you were now struggling with two distractions. One, the weight of your eyelids as they threatened to pull you back into dreamland. Two, Ferdinand.
You kept glancing at him, taking in his complexion. He must have come to class late, since you didn't see him before. Or maybe he was on time- you did fall asleep quite early into the lecture.
You were eyeing his carefully sculpted jawline, dotted with subtle stubble that connected to sideburns and led up to clean, silky, orange hair. You wished to run your fingers through it-
"Y/N, this is the second time I've seen you not paying attention." You jumped nearly three feet in the air. "Next time, I'll have to ask you to leave my class since you are obviously taking it as a joke."
"I-I'm not joking! Sorry!" You stuttered, finally finding a reason to keep your attention on the lecture. You did look away once, just to glare at Ferdinand, who only winked and chuckled at your misfortune.
Class was eventually over and you sighed, finally loosening up from forcing yourself to pay attention. You packed your notebook and laptop and swung your backpack on, getting ready to leave the room before a voice called to you.
You turned back. "Ferdinand?"
"I was simply wondering where your next class was. I can walk you to it, if you'd like." Said boy walked quickly towards you, holding himself with a nearly-perfect posture. You felt anxious- he was trying to make himself seem like a gentleman, but you still felt a little unnerved.
"Oh, um, sure! It's not for another fifteen minutes, but it is across campus."
Ferdinand's grin seemed to get larger, making his eyes crinkle at the edges. "How wonderful! That little café is down there and I've been meaning to check it out anyways. It works out perfectly."
"Uh, yeah." You laughed nervously. This was the first time a boy had taken interest in you- or was he really interested? Maybe he's just being nice-
"Also, before I forget. May I get your number? I'd like to talk to such a gorgeous woman like you a little more."
Oh, he was so interested. You had to make yourself breathe again as you handed him your phone to let him put his number in. He gave it back to you and you noticed a heart and a smiley face emoticon next to his contact name. Your heart fluttered at the sight of the emojis and you felt your cheeks heat up a bit. Ferdinand gave you a sweet smile before holding the door open for you, letting you lead the way to your next class.
On the way to the building, Ferdinand spent the time asking you questions and getting to know you better. He had scratched basically the entire surface of you, save for the secrets that new people shouldn't know, and the same could be said for you. Ferdinand was definitely a polished and refined man. He made quite the impression on you.
"What are you doing after classes?" You asked, hoping to invite him for pizza at your apartment.
"Ah, I've got work!" He smiled sheepishly. He definitely caught onto your hopes...
"Really? Where? Maybe after, you could stop by for some Golden Pizza-"
"Actually, I work at the Eagles Freezery." He was tense, suddenly. "So I really shouldn't. Rivalry and all of that, you know?"
You were a little confused, actually. "Why would that prevent you from hanging out for a bit? You didn't buy it, I did. Plus I thought the rivalry was only between the buffet and the pizza place?”
"It's- it's a loyalty thing. It’s between all three of us.”
"It's a restaurant. How loyal could you possibly be to a dumb little ice cream parlor-"
"It's more than that!" Ferdinand snapped his mouth closed, suddenly making himself quiet after his angry outburst. "Listen, I cannot and will not eat there, look at it, talk about it, or do literally anything about it. Please, just understand that."
"Uh, yeah." You nervously readjusted your backpack on your shoulder. "I- I should get to class now. I'll see you later, Ferdinand."
"Goodbye, I'll message you after work!" With that, he sent you a wink and a smile and turned, going about his own day with the most carefree pep in his step. As if nothing ever happened. You, on the other hand, could not have been more confused. Ferdinand seemed unpredictable when it came to his moods. He was comforting and kind, yet was so… upset when you insulted the parlor. It was a restaurant. Why did he get so worked up about it? Maybe Ellie was right about it being such a big deal.
· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·
“I just ordered! Go, go, I’m starving!”
Not even five minutes after you got out of your last class, Ellie was calling to remind you about dinner. You were still slightly unnerved from your encounter with Ferdinand, but you agreed to pick it up and would never hear the end of it if you didn’t do something as simple as takeout.
Golden Pizza was only about two blocks away and you stayed on the phone with your roommate the entire time, only saying goodbye as you walked in the establishment. The restaurant was very nice, the honey yellow walls and the glow of the wood-fired oven making the ambience warm and welcoming. You didn’t wait long in the line, soon coming up to meet a boy about your age with a glimmering emerald gaze and a smile just as bright at the front counter.
“Hi!” The boy- Claude, according to his nametag- greeted, “How can I help you?”
“I’m just picking up an order for Eleonora Yumizuru.”
Claude nodded and typed a few things into a computer at the counter. “I know Ellie! She and I had Stats together before she dropped out to pursue her acting career. She’s certainly something.”
“Oh, definitely. I’m her roommate.” Speaking of the devil, your phone vibrated in your pocket. It was a message from her. “She actually just messaged me. Wants me to bring her a dumb little lemonade from that cafe.”
Claude laughed, “You can go and get it now, if you’d like. Your pizza will be a few more minutes. Ellie set the time for your pickup for later, so you’re actually ten minutes early.”
You thanked him and left, walking to the cafe. You took your time, observing the shops around you. Across the street from Golden Pizza stood the Blue Lion Buffet. You smiled to yourself- what a cliche to have rivals across from each other. Beside the pizza parlor was another food shop, the Eagles Freezery. You thought about Ferdinand- he said he was working today. Maybe you could drop by and- No. No, Y/N. Go get your lemonade and go.
A soft bell chimed as you opened the door. You saw four people in cafe uniforms, going about their day as you approached the register.
“Welcome to our humble abode!”
“Constance, that’s only used for a home.”
You shyly waved at the so-called Constance and the pink-haired girl who corrected her. Cafe des Loups- or Cafe of Wolves- was a quaint place, quiet and not crowded, kind of like an off-brand Starbucks. Dim lights adorned the high black ceiling, illuminating the shop just enough for a comforting ambience. There was a mural of a rainforest painted on the wall to the opposite of the counter with comfortable tables and lounging areas. If you could, you’d probably waste the day away lounging around. It was the perfect environment for an introvert like you.
At this shop, a large dark-haired man controlled the register instead of Claude. As you approached the register, you noticed that he wasn’t wearing a nametag, but you had a small urge to call him Bigfoot.
“Hey! What can I get ‘cha?”
You scoured the menu. “Just two pink lemonades is fine-”
“Oh! Good choice!” Constance interrupted you, coming to stand beside the man. “Yuri-bird over there makes the best sweet lemonades!”
You followed her gaze over to a man who was sitting on a stool, slouched down and leaning his head on his hand. He stretched and stood up. “Thank God, we haven’t had many customers all day. I was starting to think we lost our appeal.”
“Of course we have not!” Constance replied. She turned to you, but you couldn’t tell whether she was still talking to Yuri or you. Maybe it was neither. “Not when someone as handsome as Yuri is making the drinks and my attractive self is greeting the customers!”
“Hey! I’m just as much of a visual as the boss-man.” The taller man joined in after taking your money. “We’re all pretty nice looking. Especially this little lady ordering~”
You blushed a bit. “Oh, please, I’m nothing special-”
“Nothing special?” Constance laid her hand against her chest. “You’re wonderful! Almost on the same level as me. Isn’t that right, Yuri-birdie?”
Yuri looked up from making your drinks, his analytical eyes seemingly boring holes into you. You shuddered, feeling like he could tell your deepest and darkest secrets from just looking at you. He shrugged, going back to the lemonades.
“She’s alright, I suppose.”
“You suppose? Yuri, that’s rude-”
Hapi was midway through lecturing the purple-haired man when the door to the shop chimed open and a rather large group came in. Yuri looked up and suddenly stood alert, as did the other three workers. In the group, you saw a familiar head of orange hair and orange eyes met yours. Your face screwed up into confusion.
“Ferdinand?”
“Don’t say anything.” The leader of the group, a short, white-haired girl snarled. “Are you a new… worker here?”
“Wh- you just told me not to say anything.”
Slowly, Yuri and the other three came up beside you, standing slightly in front. Your heart nearly stopped- you were in the middle of something you definitely weren’t supposed to be in and your sass had gotten on their bad side already. The white-haired girl scrutinized the five of you, her lavender eyes piercing holes through whatever facade of confidence you had tried to put up. You could feel yourself literally wither under her gaze, even more than you did when Yuri looked at you.
“What do you want, Edelgard?” Yuri put his hands on his hip, one fiddling with something under his shirt.
“I want your loyalty.”
Yuri snorted. “You aren’t in charge.”
“I’m not? Hm. Tell that to my father after he stepped down. I’m the leader now- the emperor, if you will.” Edelgard sighed heavily. “I have no time for more conversation if you won’t comply. Hubert, deal with them.”
The terrifying man who you assumed was Hubert suddenly reached in his coat and pulled out a handgun, aiming it at the five of you. Yuri quickly retaliated and pulled one of his own, throwing it at Constance before grabbing your wrist and running to the back. A loud gunshot rang through the air as you and Yuri continued to run. You both dodged around coffee shop equipment and he dragged you through a labyrinth that they considered the back of the store.
As you were running, Yuri pulled you to a sharp right turn and your arm scraped against a metal machine in your way. You hissed in pain and looked down at it, seeing a large wound going down your shoulder to your elbow. It was starting to bleed rather quickly, but you had no time to worry about it. You’d have time to tend to it if you survived.
“What’s happening?”
“No time to explain. Quick, hide!”
Yuri pushed you against the wall in between two larger cabinets and stood in front, grabbing yet another gun from his other hip. He cocked it, listening for the ruckus of the fight in the main room to make its way towards your location. You were shaking like a leaf, grabbing tightly onto your wounded arm and smearing blood all over your fingers and your clothes. You breathed heavily, trying to calm yourself at least a little- was this why Ferdinand had been so defensive over the Eagles Freezery? What kind of restaurant rivalry would constitute attempted murder? And wasn’t this cafe uninvolved anyways? You didn't have time to ponder any more questions as a loud crash echoed through the room. Yuri lifted his gun and began to speak lowly, not taking his eyes off of the door.
“When I say run, go out the back door and get in the black car back there. Don’t go home- one of them will find you.”
A gunshot rang through the air and Constance, Balthus, and Hapi burst through the doors, running towards you all. Yuri turned to you as the three of them caught up to him, pulling out their own weapons again as Edelgard began yelling.
“Run!”

Gaming buddy headcanons (A3!)
Hi~! These are just random drabbles off the top of my head as I just can’t seem to focus on my work today, which is why I decided to jot these HCs down before I forget or procrastinate again (〃▽〃) 
Itaru Chigasaki
Tumblr media
Whenever you and Itaru have a gaming night scheduled, he is just itching to leave work early to prep
He does a Monster energy drink / Redbull, iced coffee, potato chips and chinese take-out shopping side trip before returning to the dorm
"Let's have a successful raid today!" you both say to one another while saluting
The rest of MANKAI company know better than to pass by Room 103 on a gaming night
Sakuya accidentally forgot once and was traumatized for life when he approached Room 103 hoping to ask Itaru for help in his history homework without knowing you were in the room, too
"Ano, Itaru-san, excuse me, I need your help with someth-"
*cue you screaming in rage after dying for the nth time*
Poor Sakuya still recounts this experience with a shudder as he tells the story to Taichi
You both don't always play the rage games tho
On chill nights, both of you play Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley co-op just to chill in the virtual world
It's on these chill nights that Omi would knock on the door and give you both the dinner he set aside for you, to which you and Itaru would thank him profusely for being the mom that he is being so kind and considerate
You end up conking out in his room during gaming nights since you usually end up playing until the wee hours of the morning (much to Masumi and Sakyo’s chagrin)
He’s a perfect gentleman though, that’s why you feel completely safe around him even though you’re both single adults sleeping together (read: SLEEP as in literally sleep stop thinking the other meaning u dirty hoe)
Itaru is the first person you want to tell about the latest game in the app store or about an upcoming game to be released for the console or PC, and vice versa
Your LIME DMs with him are full of news about soon to be released games or discussions about tactics for the limited time events in the common games you play
“Taruchi, did you know that XXX company is releasing a sequel to XXX, the one that we played last week? (*≧▽≦) Kyaa! I can’t wait~”
Speaking of that nickname, YOU coined that one together during that one time he wanted to make another character from his main one in order to crush NEO (ahem, Banri, ahem)
“Seriously, Y/N, I don’t know what to name this character. Got any ideas?”
“Hmm.. Itaru Chigasaki, Itaru, Taru, Chigasaki, Taru..chi? How about Taruchi? It sounds cute!”
“Tsk, people will think it’s a girl’s account then, the way it sounds. Eh, who cares. You came up with it, take responsibility for it. I was planning to use a female avatar anyway.”
You are both admins to the wikia pages of the games you both enjoy playing
You sometimes ask his help for answers in the otome games you’re playing, to which his choices get you the wrong or Bad End (´д`)
He gets a little jealous when you go kya kya at otome game characters, actually grabbing your Switch one time and staring at the character you were squealing at
“Pffssh, he doesn’t even look that handsome. Have some standards, you otome trash lady. What’s with the fake perm and hipster clothing. You have got to be kidding me. Who’s the character designer of this?”
“Excusez-moi, but the character designer is the famous XXX, thank you very much. And don’t diss my husbando, go stick to your own overly-large boobies waifus. Shoo, shoo!” 
You always thank the gaming gods for sending Itaru in your life because you could not imagine getting through life without a gaming buddy like him
Banri Settsu
Tumblr media
Playing video games with this man can go either way
You can either really enjoy playing with him, or get really pissed off when he keeps winning easily
His skills are top-notch, which makes him an ideal raid partner on co-op games like Monster Hunter
Just don’t think you can win against him when it’s 1v1, because boy you will be crushed
Unless he lets you win, which usually happens when he sees that you look like you’re about to cry after being beaten in Super Smash Bros for the nth time
“Oi, Y/N, it’s just a stupid game. Don’t think much about it, okay? Let’s do one more round.”
He doesn’t own a console or PC, so gaming dates are usually done in arcades
He is crazily athletic too, so you can kiss your DDR (dance dance revo) winning streak bye
Don’t even think of challenging him to play Tekken, because unless he’s feeling magnanimous, you will lose
On his birthday, you and the rest of MANKAI company pooled your money to get him a Nintendo Switch (yes, even Juza lol)
For the first time in his life, he is struck speechless (༎ຶ⌑༎ຶ)
It’s not like he’s poor or something, but the gesture moved him so deeply that he was strangely docile for a few hours
“Ne, Banri, you have a Switch now. Let’s play something!”
VICTORY / YOU WIN
You take advantage of his new docile state and challenge him to a 1v1 game where you actually win lol
But he snaps out of it and starts crushing you again (that was fun while it lasted ┐(´~`)┌ )
Playing an otome game beside him will ensure that you get the Good End of your favorite husbando
“I’m not sure what to answer here. What do you think, Banri?”
“Huh? Lemme see. Hmm. The first option seems good to me.”
After shedding a tear or two for the Good End you just watched, you thank the otome gaming gods and Banri’s super easy mode for helping you complete your husbando’s route and collect all the event images
Unlike Itaru who loses all sense of time and his surroundings when in the “Zone”, Banri is still incredibly thoughtful especially when you set up gaming night sesh with him
He knows that like Itaru, you are prone to binge on junk food and forego sleep to grind for a good armor or weapon
“Y/N, it’s already past midnight. Don’t you think we should call it a night?”
He is easily riled up, especially when he senses that he’s being compared or challenged (this is the main reason why Juza pisses him off so much)
“What, are you chicken? Itaru-san doesn’t give up to the clock just to sleep instead of grind for the limited XXX armor set.”
Aaaand you both end up sleeping on the couch at 5am after a long, grueling night of dungeon diving
*cue Sakyo finding you both asleep on the couch in the morning*
Tumblr media
Hope you enjoyed reading! Look forward to more A3! drabbles in the near future~ (^ω^)

tumblr
starker abo: homecoming
warnings: emotional and physical abuse (nothing explicit!), smut at the end, implied thorki, mentioned sambucky
words: 3.7k
“Jesus, he’s such a fuckin’ crybaby. I feel bad for Quentin.”
Everyone turns to look at the table across the cafeteria. Peter Parker, the world’s snootiest omega, is perched on top of the navy lunch table and bawling his eyes out. Loki, a lithe snarky omega, is patting under Peter’s eyes with tissues. His usual posse huddles around him, cooing at and petting him.
“I don’t. His performance in bed probably outweighs his attitude, if you catch my drift.” Sam snickers and Bucky punches him in the arm. The alpha lets out a whine and rubs at his shoulder. “Hey! What was that for?” He snaps at his boyfriend. Bucky just narrows his eyes. Tony finds himself looking at Peter again. He seems to have calmed down a little. His friends usher him out of the cafeteria, no doubt to help him fix his makeup. Tony could gag at how fucking prissy the omega is.
“You okay, Tony? You look a little pale.” Steve says, and Tony can’t believe he’s actually concerned.
“Jeez, Steve, I’m fine. Your motherly instincts take over?”
The table howls with laughter.
“Good one, Stark!” Thor booms and Steve rolls his eyes. Tony sends a wink at Steve, a group of girls heading towards their table emerging in the corner of his eye.
“Steven,” Peggy, the beta exchange student from England, pipes up. A few of her friends giggle behind her. “Would you come with me? I have to talk to you.”
Steve nods wordlessly, trailing behind her like a lost puppy.
“He’s smitten, I tell ya’.” Bucky slurs, tossing a crumpled napkin at Sam.
“Idiot. I’ve got to piss, see you in Calc.”
Sam groans and Rhodey shouts “TMI!” Tony passes a table of girls on his way out, and they all call his name. He shoots them a wink, opening the double doors to the hallway. It’s actually quiet in the hallway, aside from his combat boots thunking on the linoleum floors. He fishes through his leather jacket’s pocket, looking for his cigs, when-
“Watch where you’re fucking going!”
Tony stumbles back as he knocks into, well, none other than Peter Parker. He looks like he’s going to cry again as Loki lifts him off of the floor. The tan-skinned beta flips him a bird as they walk away.
Great.
✨👑✨
He can’t believe Quent would ever say that to him. For one, he’s not a slut. He’d never cheat on Quentin, he knows that, so why did he say it? Two, Quentin’s lucky no one was around to see Peter’s tears.
What he can’t get over is how Quentin touched him like that.
He’s heard of alphas hitting their omegas, but it’s always been an old wive’s tale, or whatever. He guesses that Quentin’s just stressed. He didn’t do so hot on his Pre-Calc test, so maybe he has some pent up anger.
Peter needs to send him some flowers.
By the time he gets back to his apartment, he’s already tried calling Quentin three times to apologize, but the alpha never picked up. He drops his Vera Bradley book bag on the floor with a heavy sigh.
“Hey, Peter! How was school?” Uncle Ben asks from where he’s seated at the kitchen island.
Peter breaks down into tears.
Uncle Ben takes him in his arms, holding him close. That’s the thing about his uncle, whenever he’s upset he just lets Peter cry it out, never asking for an explanation. Peter appreciates when his aunt gives him advice, he really does, but sometimes it’s nicer just to be held.
“I’ve got Halotop ice cream that’s calling your name.”
Peter giggles softly as Uncle Ben ruffles his hair.
Soon enough he’s cuddled under his silk sheets, a carton of peanut butter cup ice cream in his hands. In the midst of watching Cady and Janis mix together foot cream, his phone rings.  “Quentin 💕💕” lights up on the screen over a very flattering picture of his boyfriend.
“Hi,” Peter answers quietly.
“Hi honey, I just-um-wanted to say I’m sorry for what I said. I didn’t mean any of it.”
“It’s okay Quent, I was a bitch too. I’m sorry.” Peter responds quietly, stabbing his ice cream with his spoon.
“You kind of were. I’ll catch you tomorrow, okay?”
“Bye, love you.”
“Bye.”
Peter hangs up the phone, feeling emptier than before.
✨👑✨
“Anthony, you are not wearing that.”
Tony smirks and adjusts the collar of his leather jacket.
“Don’t worry, dad. I know Peter. It’s all good.” He replies, running a hand through his hand. Howard clenches his jaw.
“Come on, boys. We don’t want to be late.” His mother calls, ushering the two to the car. Howard still looks pissed as he climbs into the driver's seat, Tony scrolling through Instagram as they drive to the Parker’s. A picture of Peter appears, the omega posing on the hood of a cherry red ‘65 Thunderbird. His long, milky legs are displayed by his tiny red running shorts. A sliver of his toned stomach is exposed by his cream Coca Cola crop top. His almond hair looks like it’s blowing in the wind. Red heart-shaped glasses frame his face perfectly. The caption reads “Taste the Feeling! ♥️♥️”.
A small part of Tony wants to taste him.
He ignores that part.
“Now you behave, Anthony. This deal is important, we’re paying Benjamin a lot of money for his program.” Howard reminds him.
“Yeah yeah,” Tony replies, rolling his eyes and itching for a smoke. They pull up to one of the apartment complexes in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Tony begrudgingly follows his parents, the elevator operator nervously pressing the buttons.  The elevator brings them directly to Peter’s penthouse because of course, the Parkers have a penthouse.
“Oh, hello!” A voice exclaims from the kitchen. He stands awkwardly until Mrs. Parker emerges from the other room. “Welcome, all of you!” She exclaims, giving his mom a hug.
“Oh, Anthony, I remember when you were just a baby. Your mother came to me for a dress for a gala, and she brought you along. You’ve grown into such a handsome alpha.”
Tony flushes, embarrassed. His mom laughs loudly and pinches his cheeks.
“Peter should be down soon, he always takes forever to get ready.” Mrs. Parker complains, pushing her glasses farther up her nose. “Benjamin is picking some whiskey from the cellar. Why don’t you come sit down?”
Mrs. Parker leads them to the living room, where the couches are covered with blankets and the fireplace roars. Tony sinks into the knitted blanket, sighing heavily.
“Oh, goodness, I’m sorry I’m late!”
Peter Parker is at the top of the steps, in a tight, glittery maroon dress, looking like an absolute vision.
“Come down, Pete.” His aunt calls with a smile. The omega’s heels click on the hardwood staircase as he comes downstairs. He’s prettier up close, a silver glittery barrette holding his curls out of his face. Gold glitter is swept over his cheeks and eyelids.
“Anthony,” He says, scrunching up his button nose. Tony winks at him. The only empty seat is next to the alpha, so Peter daintily sits down on the couch. He smells divine, like expensive floral perfume mixed with the sweet scent of omega.
“You can call me Tony, you know.” The alpha purrs under the voices of his parents and Mrs. Parker. Peter rolls his eyes.
“Dully noted.” He snaps back, but Tony just laughs.
Dinner goes on slowly and Tony keeps his mouth shut. Peter’s definitely checking him out (or maybe that’s just Tony’s ego.) During the meal of lamb and beef, Tony notices a bruise blooming under the hem of his dress.
The omega gives him a glare and adjusts his collar.
✨👑✨
“Did you hear? We’re being assigned partners this time.”
“Ugh, gag,” Peter grumbles, tapping his pink pen on his pink notebook.
“I know,” Loki responds, eyes glancing to the back of the room. “I hope I get paired up with Thor, though.”
Peter smiles and picks at his cuticle.
“He better ask you to homecoming. I’m blackmailing him if he doesn’t by Friday.” He says nonchalantly, eyeing the burly blonde in the back of the room. He’s laughing about something with Anthony.
“Peter. I’ll beat you to it, you know that.” Loki jokes. Peter nudges him in the shoulder of his dark green sweater. The class quiets down when Ms. Hill steps into the room.
“Good afternoon, everyone. As you may have heard from the other classes, we’re starting our quarter project.” She announces. “I’ll be assigning you into partners, and you’ll be researching the impact and achievements of a Chinese dynasty.”  
The glass groans, a few pairs of eyes flicking around nervously.
“Calm down. It’s senior year, you should all know each other by now. I’ve already have your partners, so listen up...”
Peter studies his French manicure as Ms. Hill calls out their names. He gives Loki a wink when the teacher pairs Thor with him for the Tang Dynasty. It’s getting to the end of the list, and Peter’s worried that Ms. Hill might have forgotten him, then-
“Tony and Peter. Song Dynasty.”
The omega dies a little inside.
“Alright, get to work! Rubrics are on my desk, get brainstorming!”
The class disperses into a flurry of noise and movement. Tony slowly stalks over to him like the douchebag he is.
“How about you get the rubric?” Peter suggests, but it’s more of an order than anything. Tony smirks and places his pencil on the desk next to Peter.
“Anything for you, princess.” He teases, causing the omega to flush a bright red. Peter doodles in his notebook until Tony gets back with two rubrics.
“Song Dynasty. I’m fuckin’ pumped.”
This actually makes Peter giggle a little bit.
“Calm down, Anthony.” He quips back, a small smile on his face.
It turns out the two work together pretty well.
Tony’s definitely not a slacker, and had avid ideas that Peter wrote down. They settled on a comedy-style presentation. (Which Peter would neverdo, but who can say no to Tony’s puppy dog eyes?)
When the bell rings, Tony walks him to his next class, like a...gentleman.
Who knew?
✨👑✨
“Good morning Midtown! I’m Peter Parker, your SGA President.”
Tony turns his attention to the T.V in the hallway. Peter sits at the newscaster desk, in a navy and white tennis polo, a matching headband pushing back his curls, and two big pearls adorning his ears. Tony could purr, but he pinches himself. There’s no way he can be falling for Peter Parker.
No way.
The entire hallway goes silent, in awe of their queen on the screen.
“A quick reminder-next week is spirit week! The days are posted on our Instagram and around the school. Don’t forget to buy your homecoming tickets. They’re being sold all week in the cafeteria. Thanks, and have a wonderful day!”
Everyone resumes their conversation.
Tony slams his locker shut.
✨👑✨
“Oh god, you are not making me ride that.”
Tony laughs loudly and tucks his hands into the pockets of his jacket.
Peter stands with his arms crossed over his baby blue Chanel sweater. His pink lips are turned down into a frown, button nose scrunched like it always is.
“I am. Unless you want to walk?” Tony coos, handing his helmet to the omega. His honey eyes glance down at the black helmet, then back up to Tony.
“You’ll keep me safe?” Peter asks quietly, his bitchy facade dropping. Tony’s eyes widen.
“Oh, of course, Pete. I’d never let anything happen to you.” The alpha responds, genuine care in his voice.
“Well, then let’s go, slowpoke.” Peter huffs, placing the ill-fitting helmet on top of his curls. Tony chuckles and straddles the bike, waiting as Peter slowly wraps his arms around his torso, resting his cheek on his back.
“Hold on!” Tony calls as he starts the bike, causing the tiny omega to yelp. They leave school, weaving through the cars and students. Peter shouts directions to his house in Tony’s ear, the alpha smiling as the wind whips behind him. They eventually arrive at Peter’s apartment complex, parking his motorcycle in the garage for the occupants.
“That sucked,” Peter grumbles, but-Tony sniffs the air.
Peter’s turned on.
He’s about to crack a joke, but stops himself. Peter looks at the ground, embarrassed.
“Sorry. Didn’t bring my car.”
Peter tries to hide his smile.
The omega brings him up to his penthouse, heading to the kitchen to grab something to eat.
“Do you want anything, Tony? I’ve got...quite a lot.” Peter asks, grabbing some wheat crackers and spread from the fridge. Tony shucks off his leather jacket, placing it over the back of the chair. He runs his hand over the cool marble counter.
“I’m good, but thank you.” He responds, pulling his notebook out of his bag. Peter shrugs, grabbing his book bag.
“Suit yourself. Let’s go upstairs, my aunt will be home soon.” He tells Tony, not sparing him a second glance before heading to the staircase. The alpha rushes behind him, narrowly avoiding an expensive looking vase. They turn right down the hallway, pictures of Peter at all stages of his life on the walls. One catches Tony’s eyes, a little baby Peter with a big blue bow on his head, smiling as he plays in a pile of leaves.
“Please don’t touch anything, Anthony.” Peter sniffs when they reach his room, pink exploding in Tony’s vision. His room is huge, perfectly cleaned and organized. There are pictures everywhere, Peter smiling with his friends. A king-sized canopy bed sits in the middle of the room, expensive silk pillows arranged with care. Peter plops himself on the ground, spreading out his papers.
”Your room is...nice.” Tony comments, sitting on the ground next to Peter. He's still overwhelmed by the omegan aroma filling the room.
”Thank you.” Peter says softly, clearly pleased.
”Should we get started? I had some ideas about how we should present the civil service exam.”
They get a big chunk of their work done but end up talking about everything butthe Song Dynasty. Peter’s actually really fucking smart, wanting to study biological engineering in college. He's down to earth and an absolute sweetheart when he's not surrounded by the student body.
And he's really fucking pretty.
”I know! Fury is such a hardass!” Peter exclaims through giggles, tears coming out of his big doe eyes. His curls are a mess, splayed underneath his head.
Tony isn’t thinking when he reaches over and thumbs away Peter’s happy tears.
The omega blinks in surprise, but-
sucks Tony’s thumb into his mouth.
Tony growls loudly, removing his thumb from Peter’s mouth with a pop, leaning down, and pressing his lips to the other’s. The omega is everything Tony thought he would be. Sweet like sugar, with the remnants of the crackers on his tongue. He hums happily as Tony picks him up, pulling the smaller into his lap.
“Tony-“
“I fucking like you, Parker.”
“Tony,” Peter whispers as the alpha lightly drags his fingers over his bare thighs. “Tony, I have a boyfriend.”
“He doesn’t deserve to be your boyfriend, Peter.” Tony says, almost frantically. “He-He fucking hurts you.”
Peter flinches at his word choice.
“He doesn’t. It’s none of your business.” The omega breathes, avoiding Tony’s gaze.
“Peter, please tell someone. Or break up with him, I don’t care.” The alpha pleads, taking Peter’s hands in his. The omega rips them away.
“He loves me. Please drop it.”
Tony bites his tongue.
✨👑✨
“Loki, your bow is crooked.”
Loki rolls his eyes and spins around.
“Then fix it, Peter.”
Peter laughs and straightens the blue bow that holds his black, silky hair out of his face. It’s Class Colors Friday, the seniors getting their rightful color of blue. Harley takes a bite of his sandwich, looking over Peter’s shoulder.
“Uh, Pete? Quentin’s coming over here, and he looks mad.”
Peter turns around, seeing his boyfriend heading towards him with a scowl on his face. Peter pretends to light up, giving him a small wave. Before he can greet the alpha, he’s grabbing Peter by his cheerleading jacket.
“You fucking slut,” He growls, blue eyes narrowed. “You sleeping around with Stark now?”
Peter whimpers as his breathing picks up.
“Quent, you’re making a scene.” He whispers, tugging at the alpha’s sleeve gently. Quentin grins menacingly.
“Am I, now?” He chuckles, pressing a kiss to Peter’s cheek. “That’s high praise coming from a drama queen like yourself. Have fun finding another homecoming date.”
With that, Quentin pushes him back, and storms out of the cafeteria. Peter follows him, ignoring the shouts from his friends.
“Quentin, baby, wait!” The omega calls out once they get into the hallway, causing the alpha to spin around.
“Is it true? You made out with Stark?”
Peter’s bottom lip quivers as he stays silent. Quentin sighs exasperatedly, clenching his fists tightly.
“You deserve everything I did to you, Peter. And I hope you fucking know it.”
Peter doesn’t see his, well, ex-boyfriend, leave through his tears. He shuffles off to the omega restroom, trying to keep his mascara from running. He sifts through his purse for his little packet of tissues, dabbing at his eyes frantically. The door swings open, and Peter expects Loki and Harley, but the smell of smoke and musky alpha fills the room.
“Shit, Peter, I’m so fucking sorry,” Tony says quickly. Peter just whimpers and cuddles into the alpha’s torso.
“You were right,” He cries, breathing in deep breaths of Tony’s scent. The other boy strokes his curls, shushing him. “And now I don’t have a homecoming date, and all my friends do, and senior year is just going to suck.”
Tony sighs deeply from above him.
“I can go with you, if you want.”
Peter looks up into Tony’s deep brown eyes.
“Are you asking me out, Anthony?” He teases, poking the alpha’s cheek. His eyes widen in surprised.
“No! Not at all. I’m just saying, if you wanted to, I’d be willing to go with you.”
Peter laughs and kisses him.
✨👑✨
Tony’s so fucking nervous.
His hands shake as he grips the stupid plastic corsage box in one, ringing the doorbell with the other.
Mrs. Parker opens the door.
“Tony. Come on in. Peter will be down in a second.” She says with a glint in her eyes. Tony follows her into the apartment, perfectly clean, like always.
“Let me see,” Mrs. Parker smiles, leaning over to look at the corsage in the box. “He’ll love it.”
Speaking of him-
Peter Parker appears at the top of the steps.
Tony’s mouth parts subconsciously. Peter looks-Peter looks stunning. His dress is a cherry red that matches his lipstick, all lace and off the shoulder. He walks down slowly, smoothing the skirt of his dress.
“Peter, oh my god, you look beautiful.” Tony sputters as Peter gives him a peck on the cheek.
“And you look handsome,” The omega responds, thin fingers adjusting Tony’s tie. “You bought a corsage!”
Tony laughs, opening the box and picking up the white rose. He adjusts it on Peter’s wrist as the other boy pins a white boutonniere to Tony’s lapel.
“Perfect,” He coos, pressing another kiss to Tony’s jaw.
Mrs. Parker gives him a quick, threatening talk as Peter uses the bathroom. Peter fake swoons when Tony opens the passenger door to his Audi.
They’re the perfect pair.
They take pictures and dance and kiss and it’s everything Tony could ever dream of. Peter wins homecoming queen, as he should. He looks divine on stage, sparkling tiara on his curls and smiling wide.
“Alpha,” Peter whines, 30 minutes before the dance ends, making Tony’s heart skip a beat.
“Yeah, baby?” Tony responds, grinding his hips forward against Peter’s ass, a quiet ‘oof’ falling from his lips.
“Can-Can we go back to your place? If your parents aren’t home-“
“Fuck yes.”
The car is thick with the scent of arousal, the mixing of their pheromones making Tony crazy. They’re on top of each other once they make it inside.
“Tony, where’s your room?” Peter moans as Tony nibbles on his neck. The alpha doesn’t respond, instead lifts the smaller into his arms. Tony rushes upstairs, making sure he doesn’t drop Peter. They collapse onto the bed, Tony pressing his lips to Peter’s. He tastes delicious, as always, and Tony can’t help but moan. He pulls off of Peter, shucking off his suit jacket as Peter stands up.
“Alpha, can you help undo my dress?”
That phrase sends a jolt of arousal to Tony’s dick.
He obeys, thick fingers tugging the silver zipper down. Peter steps out of the dress, his freckled back on full display, as well as his delectable ass that’s barely covered by white panties. In awe, Tony runs his fingers over the pale stretch marks littering his flesh.
“Is that- are they too gross? Quentin always said t-they were ugly.”
Tony’s speechless.
“No, no, baby,” He coos, spinning Peter around so he can see his face. His doe eyes shine with oncoming tears. “You’re fucking beautiful, you know that? You’re the sexiest goddamn thing I’ve ever seen.”
Peter giggles shyly, flushed.
“Fuck Quentin. He’s a pussy, not a real alpha. He never deserved you. You’re perfect, my little omega.”
They make love.
There’s nothing else to call it-not fucking, not sex. Peter rides him for everything he’s worth, tiny cock leaking against his stomach as his thick thighs straddle Tony’s. The tiara stays on, his curls becoming damp with sweat. Tony doesn’t last long, he pops his knot too early, but he doesn’t mind, since Peter is right behind him.
“Tony?” The omega whispers after Tony slipped out of him and cleaned them up.
“Yeah?” The alpha responds, breath hitting the back of Peter’s neck.
“I fucking like you, Stark.”
Tony laughs, pulls Peter closer under the covers, and kisses him.

Parental Bonding: Courtship
S01-E02, part 1 of 2: Danny figures out a new power, gets a date, and lands himself in trouble. Not in that order.
Last time on Living Phantom ~ Next time on Living Phantom
Warning: Implied/Referenced Sibling Abuse (Not onscreen, skip to the bottom for a full description)
Danny came down the stairs, ready to send the annoying Box Ghost back where he came from then spend the next few hours trying to block out what happened at lunch with some mindless video game violence. He paused when he spotted his dad sitting in front of the portal with a fishing rod in hand. He was wearing his fishing vest and had a soda guzzler attached to his fishing hat, sucking at the straw as he watched the swirling green mists.
The half-ghost frowned and tossed his backpack off to the side. “Hey, Dad. What are you doing?”
“Danny, keep it down. You'll scare away the ghosts,” he whispered. He pointed at the rod and Danny realized the line was glowing. “It's the Fenton Ghost Fisher. I'm fishing for ghosts. Check out this line. Coated with a special high-tensile ectoplasmic resin that ghosts can't break.” He focused back on the portal. “Quiet now. Don't wanna spook 'em.”
Danny nodded and turned to leave. He’d have to get rid of Boxy later.
“Whoa! That soda goes right through you like Sherman through Georgia.” His dad suddenly grabbed his shoulder and shoved the rod into his hands. “Here! Hang on to this. I'll be right back after I use the Fenton Urinal.”
Did not need to know that, Danny sighed. Well, at least now he could -
The line started pulling and he scrambled for the reel. The line went taut, then slack.
“Oh no,” he muttered, his breath misting in front of him.
A large claw emerged from the portal, then another. They hooked around the edge as a reptilian snout poked through. It seemed to squeeze through the too-small space as it lengthened and grew into the head of a dragon, electric blue with neon green ear fins and curled horns. It kept coming. First, a barrel chest and wings that didn’t look big enough to carry its weight -- though Danny was pretty sure a ghost dragon didn’t actually need wings to fly -- then forelegs, hind legs, and finally a whip-like tail.
It’s red eyes glared down at him, the end of the fisher caught in its mouth.
Danny flinched back, then his eyes caught on a glimpse of green in the corner of his eye. He looked down and frowned when he realized the dragon’s scales were littered with glowing soot and quite a few claw marks cut into its flesh, dripping ectoplasm that fizzled into nothing before it hit the floor.
“Woah, what attacked you?”
The dragon roared and Danny scrambled back. “I want to go!” it growled, grabbing him in its foreclaw. “I have to go!”
“You'll have to stand in line behind my dad,” Danny joked, then immediately wondered if ghosts could use the bathroom.
Did full ghosts need to eat? Would they eat normal food or ectoplasmic stuff? Would ghost food be closer to his parents' cooking? Did ghosts accidentally bring their  food to life?
No, focus, Danny! “In the meantime…”
He let his transformation wash over him, then let go of his density, becoming a cloud of ectoplasm that slipped through its grip. It tried to claw at him and he dodged around the hits, then pulled back when it started to breathe fire. He arced around the spray then landed a hit to its neck, right on the golden band of the necklace it wore.
It gave a pained roar as it flew back and hit the wall.
Danny flew closer, ready to shove it back into the portal, but it suddenly began to shimmer. It shrunk until it took the form of a young woman. She looked to be in much better health than her dragon form, though there was a darker patch on her green cheek that might have been a burn. The ghost looked up at him with tears in her eyes. “All I wanted was to go to the Princess Costume Ball. And my brother won't let me!”
She started crying and flew into the portal.
Frowning, Danny dropped to the ground and grabbed the fisher. “I hope her brother wasn’t the one that did that to her.”
Footsteps sounded on the stairs and Danny quickly changed back.
His dad came down, new soda cans in hand. “Catch anything?”
“Nope,” he lied and passed his dad the fisher. “I’m going to drop my backpack off in my room then I’m meeting Tucker online for a boss battle.”
“Homework?”
“None today.”
“Alright. Don’t forget, it’s your night for dinner. Jazz has that Debate meeting and your mom won’t be back until Friday.”
“I know. Pizza’s in the oven and timer’s set.”
“Good boy.”
~~~~~~~~~~B~~~~~0~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~
“Thanks to you, I now know the quickest way to a woman's heart: clean boxers,” Tucker joked as he shut his locker.
Danny glared at him then dropped his head. “Man, are you ever going to let that go. I get it, I blew it yesterday.”
Danny sent Sam a scared look, then walked up to the tree Paulina Sanchez was sitting in front of. He tried to lean against the tree and give his crush a smile like the guys on Tucker’s teen dramas, but his hand turned intangible and he ended up falling to the ground.
“Please! Don't say you've suddenly fallen for me,” the popular girl said in a bored voice, not even looking at him. “That line is so last semester.”
Danny blushed and stood up. “Yeah! I-I mean, no! Th-that's not it. I, uh, I was wondering…”
Suddenly his legs felt cold and the people around them started laughing. His blush grew as he looked down to realize his jeans had fallen to the ground. He scrambled to pick them up as Paulina finally looked at him, only to giggle into her hand.
At least it was boxer day, the last thing he needed was to accidentally be outed by his stupid powers on top of everything else.
“A gentleman usually tips his hat, but I'll give you points for originality,” Paulina said.
Suddenly Sam was at his side, her hand on his arm. “Kudos, Danny. You just set an all-time speed record for drowning in the shallow end of the gene pool.”
Paulina stared at her for a moment, then scowled. “Oh, no! You did not just call me shallow, did you?”
“If you mean do I think I can stand in a puddle full of you and not get my feet wet, then yeah.”
“Shallow? I am not shallow!”
Sam tugged him away from the girl, muttering, “As shallow as a drop of water. Ignore her, Danny. You can do so much better.”
Danny glanced over his shoulder to see the popular glaring at them.
“Paulina probably won't even look at me now.”
“Yoo-hoo, Danny!” Danny turned to see the girl they were discussing walking towards them, a flirty smile on her face.
“Or not! Hey, Tuck?”
“I get it. I'm out. Good luck.” He gave Danny a pat on the back then he was gone.
“Hi, you,” she giggled. “I just wanted to -”
Danny’s world went dark and cramped as he was suddenly shoved into his locker, which closed behind him.
“That’s for throwing your lunch on me last week, runt.”
“It was your lunch and it was an accident,” Danny growled.
“Oh hey, Paulina. Just the girl I was looking for.”
Danny glared at the wall of his locker then turned invisible and intangible. He leaned out of the locker to see Dash smirking down at Paulina, who didn’t look impressed.
“So I was thinking… I’m the top man. All-star quarterback and school hero.”
Danny reached towards the larger boy, ready to pull some ghostly prank, only for his hands to sink through Dash. His eyes widened as he felt his powers draw him in.
“You’re the prettiest girl in school.”
He felt himself shrink infinitesimally small, then expand like a balloon to fit a space that wasn’t quite right.
“It would only make sense if we -”
Danny blinked as he found himself in front of Paulina. He looked down at himself to see he was wearing a letterman's jacket and his arms were bulging with muscles. His eyes widened as he realized he was in Dash’s body.
Wow, a whole new kind of dysphoria.
Thanks, I hate it.
“Hello?” Paulina said, waving her hand in front of his face.
“Oh! Right! Of course!”
Paulina raised an eyebrow.
“I just wanted to tell you that I’m not going to be at the Spring Formal because I’ve got to scrub my mom’s feet that night. I usually do it every night, but she’s going to need some extra time that night. She’s got these massive bunions, you know. Want to see?”
“Eew! Get lost, loser!”
Danny turned and took a few steps, then pulled back his power. Thankfully he dropped out of Dash as he’d hoped and he was able to slip back into his locker just before Paulina opened it to let him out.
“Why do I suddenly feel like scrubbing my mom's feet?” he heard Dash mutter as Danny smiled at the girl.
He tried to step out of his locker, only to fall on his face.
He waited for Paulina to start laughing at him, but instead, she knelt next to him and winked.
“We have to stop meeting like this.” Her eyes widened and she grabbed something that was hanging out of his backpack. “Oh my gosh! What's that?”
Danny sat up and saw she was holding a necklace. It was gold with a short, almost choker-length band and held a smooth green gem that had a dark band down the center. It looked vaguely familiar, but Danny couldn’t place it. “That? Oh! Uh, it's a, uh…” He looked up at her face to see her staring at the necklace, entranced. “You like it?”
“It's beautiful!”
“Hey, that's great!” As they stood up, Danny had a very bad idea. “Because I, uh, got it for you.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I-I-In case I got the nerve to ask you to the Spring Formal and you said yes, I thought I'd want to give you something and that's what it would have been. It's for you.”
Danny felt his powers activate and grabbed his pants before they could slip down more than an inch.
“Whether you go with me or not.”
Paulina eyed him with a teasing smile. “Well, you are kind of cute, and you have great taste in underwear. I'd love to go with you.”
She turned away, slipping on the necklace.
He gave a happy sigh, then frowned. “What am I doing? That thing doesn't belong to me. It could be my mom's, or Jazz's.”
“Bye, Danny. See you!”
“Or I could worry about that later. Because she said yes! Woohoo!” He threw his hands up, remembering his pants a second too late.
“Pantless again, Mr. Fenton?” Mr. Lancer asked, walking up behind him.
~~~~~~~~~~B~~~~~0~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~
“Catch anything, Dad?” Danny asked as he shuffled up behind where his dad was once more in his fishing chair, Fenton Ghost Fisher in hand.
“Son, I couldn't catch a cold. I've been sitting here all day without a single bite.”
Danny hummed and looked down at the slip Lancer had given him. Apparently having your pants accidentally fall down twice was an offense worthy of having your parents called in so now his dad needed to meet with Mr. Lancer in an hour. Well, at least there was only one parent home to get mad.
He took a deep and held up the slip. “Da-”
“I'm so frustrated I want to take out my rage on the first person who gives me bad news.” His dad adjusted his line with a growl. “Anyway, you wanted to tell me something?”
Danny flinched. “Well, sort of. Mr. Lancer -”
His dad stiffened. “Mr. Lancer what? Is this bad news?”
“Mr. Lancer -” An idea hit him and he smirked. He turned intangible and dove into his dad. “- wants to have a word with us!”
~~~~~~~~~~B~~~~~0~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~

The Amulets of Aragon
The Amulets come from a Spanish tale about a noble family residing within the medieval Kingdom of Aragon who attempted to usurp the King. Wanting the crown for himself, the lord asked his sister to use witchcraft to create two amulets that would allow them to transform themselves into powerful dragons. The king learned what was to happen and had his knights storm the lord’s manor. The knights captured the lord and lady before the amulets could be completed and the two were burned as witches.
The King’s victory was short-lived, however, as the two nobels returned as vengeful spirits. What they failed in life, they accomplished in death as upon their necks were the amulets the brother had longed for. Together the spirits burned the king’s castle to the ground in a storm of blue and green flames.
The legend goes on to say that any who stole the amulets from the lord or lady could gain their power, but they would have no control over it. They would be captives to their distress or anger and lash out blindly.
“Are you sure this is what we’re looking for?” Tucker asked, looking over the webpage. “Just sounds like some fairytale.”
“No, I think she’s onto something, look at the pictures,” Danny said and Tucker opened the gallery.
The first few pictures were medieval art of similar-looking black and purple dragons; though none seemed to be able to agree if it had bat or bird-like wings, scales or feathers, two or four legs, and ears or horns. Those were followed by more dragons, these blue and green. These were just as mismatched, but even then…
“Okay, the blue one kind of looks like your ghost dragon.”
“And Danny said the ghost looked medieval and mentioned her brother right?” Sam pointed out.
“Huh, that's the amulet I gave to Paulina. It must have accidentally fallen into my backpack. Wait. You mean… I'm going on a date with a dragon?” Danny gasped.
Tucker scrolled down to see pictures of the amulets. The stone settings looked the same, though one was on a long chain while the other had a collar band. The latter looked just like the necklace Paulina had been wearing the past two days.
Sam gave a snort. “Like I said, looks are deceiving. I'm sure you two will have a wonderful evening at the dance.”
“Thanks,” Danny deadpanned.
Suddenly Danny sent him a text.
Tucker gave his friend a confused look, but opened it.
👻Boo Boy: She really wants to go to the dance
Me: But she says she doesn’t want to
👻Boo Boy: Were her best friends
“What are you going to do to stop her?” Sam asked.
👻Boo Boy: We should have known
Me: Well there’s nothing we can do about it now right
“There’s no way you can just ask for the necklace back,” Tucker said, “not without a good reason.”
Me: Right
Me: Danny
When Danny didn’t reply, Tucker looked up at the video chat.
Danny was giving him a smirk.
Me: No way forget it ABSOLUTELY NOT NO
“Maybe I can say it’s a family heirloom?” Danny suggested.
👻Boo Boy: Tuck
Me: I just found out Kwan bailed on Valerie
Me: VALERIE
Me: She’s like a luster adjacent
“But then why would you have given it away?" Sam said.
Me: If I act fast I can catch her on the rebound
👻Boo Boy: Come on Tuck
Me: You come on
Me: Why don’t you just take her
“I don’t know! Ugh!” Danny groaned.
👻Boo Boy: What part of “going on a date with a dragon” didn’t you get? Paulinas likely to scorch the town if I bail on her
Me: Plus it’s Paulina
👻Boo Boy: I mean yeah that too but that’s not what’s important right now
Me: Uh huh 🤔
👻Boo Boy: I’m serious Tuck
👻Boo Boy: Do it for Sam
Tucker tried to give Danny an annoyed look, only to find his friend giving him puppy eyes.
Abort! Abort! He tried to look away, but it was too late.
Me: This is so unfair!!!!!!!
Danny smiled quickly then glanced over his shoulder. “Oh, I think I hear Jazz calling me. We can talk more later. See you guys!”
And he was gone.
“Well bye,” Sam said, rolling her eyes. “I should probably go too.”
“Wait, Sam,” he called before she could end the call. He glanced down at his phone, Valerie’s twitter still open on the app’s tab, and sighed. “I was wondering since neither of us have dates, do you want to go as friends? It’d be better than just sitting around at home. Plus, we can make fun of Danny and his dragon date.”
Sam frowned and glanced to the side. “Uh, I don't know. This is so last minute. And I do have plans, and -”
Tucker perked up. “If you don’t want to -”
“Okay, but only because you couldn’t get a date. Might as well put that lame dress my parents bought me to use. Tell Danny I’ll take care of transportation for us four. I need to make some appointments. See you tomorrow!” Sam said quickly before she ended the call.
Tucker blinked then slumped back with a groan. He closed Twitter and texted Danny.
Me: Sam’s parents are driving us to the dance
~~~~~~~~~~B~~~~~0~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~
I had fun with the trio's chat names and Danny's contact. I'm still unsure about Sam's chat name, but the next best idea I had was AsexuWhale and a pun like that didn't feel right for her.
Warning Description: Dora is described as being beaten up and it’s hinted that her brother was the one who did it. It's rather minor, but I felt it necessary to list just in case.

Christmas Prompt
(Thomas Hunt x oc*Amanda) with the prompt of sweet for day 15 of @jlpplays1-41daysofcheerchallenge
Tumblr media
(Thomas x Amanda) as taken further into the future of the storyline of And Then I Met You.
Masterlist
@lxaah11​ @alleksa16​ @penguininapinktuxedo​ @blackcoffee85​ @stopforamoment​ @darley1101​ @hopefulmoonobject​   @krsnlove​   @annekebbphotography​ @gibbles82​  @cora-nova​ @bella-ca​  @hopelessromantic1352​ . @sunflowergirl05​ @desiree-0816​ @greywitchyshots​ @lilyofchoices​ @emceesynonymroll​ @dr-nancy-house​ @aworldoffandoms​ @ab1901​ @pixieferry​ @lolablackwrites​ @flyawayboo​ @i-bloody-love-drake-walker​ . @trappedinfandoms​
A/N I can't resist seeing these two with their daughter, Kathleen. In this short, she is around four or five years old. Since she is sweet, this prompt was meant for her.
All I Want for Christmas
Three weeks before Christmas...
"That's enough padding." Thomas grunted when Amanda stuffed another pillow in his waistband.
"I told you to eat more during Thanksgiving." She teased.
He shook his head at her humor. "Why am I chosen each year for this?"
"Because you remember what all the children ask for. We don't want another Christmas like when Matt played Santa." She laughed softly. "I've never seen such a panic when he couldn't recall what anyone wanted except Emerick.”
"Kathleen will realize it's me." He muttered while she helped him on with the red velvet coat.
"Not with your acting talent." She adjusted the wig and beard, smiling when he hugged her close.
He slipped on a pair of glasses and then the hat. He studied his reflection in the mirror. "Well?"
She kissed his cheek. "You look perfect." She smoothed his coat down in the back. "Remember to try and get more detail out of Kathleen. She has said she wants a new baby for Christmas a number of times. I'm not certain which doll she wants."
He nodded and opened the door. "After you, Mrs. Claus."
____________
Thomas tried not to cringe when the children screamed in excitement at his appearance. He searched through the mass for his own little girl and noticed she seemed uncertain as she stood toward the back of the group, looking up at him.
One of Addison and Matt's little girls, Ashley, grabbed his hand while bouncing up and down. "Santa! You came!"
His other hand was grabbed by the youngest crown prince, Ellis. "Did you get my letter? Emerick wrote it for me." His bright blue eyes clouded with worry. "He won't get my presents, will he?"
All the others, except for Kathleen, crowded around him, yelling out what they wanted for Christmas.
Holly clapped her hands and ordered the children to line up. "Each of you will have a turn to tell Santa what you want."
Brothers and sisters quickly got into line while some spats broke out, especially between the Nevarkis-Walker siblings of who should go first.
"I'm the oldest!" Jackson yelled.
"I'm a girl! Daddy said you are supposed to be a gentleman." Juliet countered.
Olivia grinned as they continued to debate who had the right to go first.
"You have to let her go first." Emerick interjected. "Dad said babies should go before us."
Ellis and Juliet gasped in outrage at the insult.
"I'm not a baby!" Juliet clinched his fists.
"Dad thinks I'm a baby!" Ellis had tears in his eyes as Liam rushed over to reassure him that he knew he really was a big boy.
While everyone else joined in on the argument between the royal family and Nevarkis-Walkers, Xavier Beaumont took his little sister's hand. "Come on Mia. We will go meet Santa while they fight."
She smiled happily and walked up there with him.
Kathleen, watching some her friends argue and others be put in line, remained at the back of the room. She leaned against Amanda's leg when she came up beside her.
"Aren't you excited to see Santa?" Amanda asked.
"I am." She wrapped her little arms around her mother's neck when she knelt down. "Do you think he will be happy to see me?"
"I know he will be very happy when you come up." Amanda assured her. "You have been perfect this year."
"I hope so." Kathleen whispered. "I hope I've been good enough for a new baby."
"I know you have." Amanda kissed her cheek. "Santa knows it too."
"Where's Daddy?" Kathleen looked around the room.
"He had to step out for a moment." Amanda explained. "He'll be here soon."
Kathleen held onto her mother's hand as she went to the spot Holly told her to stand in.
Thomas decided to speak in a British accent when Mia scrambled up on his knee and Xavier sat on the other. "What would you like for Christmas?"
Mia giggled while her father took pictures. Maxwell encouraged her to tell Santa what she wanted.
"Mia would like a puppy." Xavier whispered to Thomas. "I don't want one but she does. I want a turtle or a wombat. Please."
Thomas nodded solemnly. "I will see what I can do."
"Thank you." Mia finally managed to say as she hugged him. "Bye Santa!"
"Goodbye." He motioned for Ellis to come up. "Now Ellis what would you like for Christmas?"
"You know my name?" Ellis asked in awe.
"Er...yes." Thomas quickly improvised. "I know all about you."
"Wow." Ellis stared at him. "Then you must know what I want!"
"Santa is getting on in years." Thomas explained. "I need a reminder what you want for Christmas. The elves haven't been the best helpers in that department."
"I want a Star Wars Lego set and Captain America's shield that shoots rockets!" He went through a long list, ending with a new pony."
Thomas posed for a picture before continuing down the line. He glanced over at Kathleen and noticed she seemed to grow more reluctant each time she moved closer. Amanda stood with her, gently running her fingers through her daughter's soft brown curls.
"Go on, sweetheart." Amanda urged when Thomas motioned for Kathleen to come up.
"Will you go with me?" She lifted pleading eyes to her mother.
"Of course." Amanda walked up with her. "Santa and I are old friends."
"You are?" Kathleen's dark eyes widened. "Does Daddy know?"
Thomas snorted and coughed on his laughter. "Your father knows all about my friendship with your mother.”
Kathleen hid her face against Amanda's leg.
Thomas leaned down. "Won't you come talk to me Kathleen? I would like to know what you want most for Christmas. My elves are waiting to hear what it is so that they can create it just for you."
She smiled up at him. "They are?"
"We all know what a good little girl you have been. Whatever you want, Santa will try and bring you." He picked her up and set her on his lap, smiling at the happiness on her face.
Amanda silently urged Maxwell to take pictures of the two. He grinned as he zoomed in on Kathleen's face as she looked up at Thomas.
"Santa," she whispered. "I want a baby."
He grinned. "A new baby doll. What kind would you like?"
Kathleen shook her head. "No I want a real one."
Thomas stared at her. "I beg your pardon. You want a real baby?"
She nodded. "I want a baby brother or sister." She glanced at her mother. "I don't know how you will get it in Mommy's tummy, but do you think you can?"
Thomas looked at his wife and then back down at his daughter. He cleared his throat. "I, well...Kathleen, a new baby is something that can take a long time to happen."
"I know." She pointed at Ryan holding his newborn daughter. "Aunt Holly took a long time to have Harper." Her little brow furrowed in thought. "I would be happy too if it came after Christmas."
Thomas looked down at her hopeful face. He couldn't tell her no. "I will see what I can do."
"Oh thank you Santa!" Kathleen threw her arms around his neck. She hugged him tight. "Thank you!"
He returned her hug. "Merry Christmas, darling."
She looked up at him with a grin. "My daddy calls me that."
"Your father sounds like an intelligent man." He helped her off his lap. He stood up and waved goodbye to the children while telling them he would deliver the presents on time this year.
Amanda followed him out while Kathleen was distracted with Addison helping the children decorate gingerbread houses.
"Well, Mr. Hunt, this might be our most successful Christmas party yet. No crying toddlers in sight." She helped him out of the costume. "What did Kathleen say? Did she describe the type of doll she wants?"
"She was quite specific." Thomas hesistated. "She wants a real baby."
"A real one?" Amanda paused. "You don't mean--"
"She wants a baby brother or sister." He pulled his clothes back on. "She knows it could take some time but would be satisfied with the knowledge that one is on its way."
Amanda sat down in shock. "I can't believe it."
Thomas ran his fingers through his hair, trying to fix the mess the wig had made it.
"How did she take it when you told her she needed to ask for something we could actually have by Christmas?" She asked.
Thomas avoided eye contact.
"Thomas! You didn't--" Amanda's jaw dropped. "Oh no."
"I couldn't do it." He explained. "To only want that and after she has been so good--" he wrapped his arms around Amanda when she dropped her head in her hands.
"We can't tell her that we--" she sniffed. "After all the months of trying to have another, how can we explain that it might not be possible."
Thomas pressed a tender kiss to her forehead. "It will happen when and if it is supposed to." He thought back to the doctor's words a few months ago. There was no medical reason why they weren't pregnant yet. Both were healthy. Neither was under stress. Just no baby.
They were the only ones with one child. Those closest to them were either well past the usual two or on their way to three children.
It wasn't that they needed a lot of children, but with both being without family, they wanted Kathleen to at least have one sibling so as not to feel so alone in the world. Now knowing that it was her Christmas wish, the pain from failure hurt acutely.
"We better get out there before Kathleen wonders where we are." Amanda stood up and smoothed her sweater down.
"Amanda..." Thomas stopped her from opening the door. "I don't want you worrying about this."
She looked up at him and tried to find the humor in this for his sake. "I'm afraid I have to worry some. It's my tummy that Santa has to mess with."
_______________
A week before Christmas...
"Daddy! I don't have a gift for Mommy under the tree!" Kathleen pointed toward the brightly wrapped presents.
"I can put you name on one I bought for her." Thomas picked through the packages. "Which one--"
"But I wanted to pick something out for her." A slight pout formed on Kathleen's lips. "Can we go shopping?"
"You want me to take you shopping during the last week before Christmas?" His frown formed at the thought of the crowds.
"Please Daddy!" She hugged his legs.
He groaned during his capitulation. "Go upstairs and get your coat while I call Mommy."
She giggled when he told her she had better have him the best gift under that tree for doing this.
He tried calling Amanda and began to worry when it went directly to voicemail. He knew she had left early this morning to meet with the obstetrician again. He didn't know why the appointment was taking longer than usual or why she had suddenly had multiple within the past week. He left a quick message when he heard Kathleen coming back.
"Ready!" She said, pushing her unruly curls out of her eyes.
He smiled at her excitement. "Let's go."
_______________
"I like that one." Kathleen pointed at a necklace.
Thomas hesistated at the pendant that was clearly meant to represent a family. "It is pretty, but perhaps if we are going for something like that, we should find one with only three hearts."
"No, I think that is the one." She persisted. The attendant opened the case and held up the necklace with five gold hearts intertwined together. "Mommy will look so pretty wearing it."
Thomas reluctantly bought it. "Yes she will."
_______________
"Mommy!" Kathleen ran inside. "Cover your eyes."
Amanda dutifully did so. "They're covered."
Kathleen crept over to make certain there was no peeking.
Thomas walked past with the bag of of presents and hid them in his study. He nodded to Kathleen once the door was shut and she hugged Amanda.
"Hello!" Amanda said with a laugh. "Did you go shopping?"
"Yes, we did." Kathleen curled up in her lap. "I can't wait for Christmas. You're going to love your present."
Amanda hugged her close. "I know I will. You always pick the perfect gifts."
Thomas smiled softly at the two on the couch. "How was your appointment?"
Amanda shrugged and didn't quite meet his eyes. "Fine. It went as one would usually expect." She squeezed Kathleen in another hug. "Are you hungry?"
The little girl nodded.
"Good. Dinner is almost ready. I could use your help setting the table." Amanda smiled as Kathleen rushed into the kitchen.
Thomas grabbed Amanda's hand when she walked by and tugged her close. "Are you alright?" He whispered.
She nodded. "I am." She pressed a kiss to his lips. "I promise. There is no need to worry."
______________
Christmas Eve night...
Kathleen stretched out on her stomach in front of the fireplace. She had some paper, pencils, and crayons around her. She pushed her Santa hat out of her eyes while a serious expression formed.
Thomas and Amanda watched her from the couch, smiling at the somber look on her face.
"What are you working on, darling?" Thomas asked.
"A thank you picture to Santa." She explained.
"Shouldn't that come after Christmas?" Amanda asked.
"He won't be back until the next one." Kathleen pursed her lips as she studied her drawing. "I don't want him to wait that long."
"That is very thoughtful." Amanda told her.
She smiled up at her parents before continuing with her picture.
Thomas rested his head against Amanda's as they enjoyed the quiet moment. His arms held her close while he wondered if there would ever be any other little ones on the floor with Kathleen.
The clock chimed the hour, stirring the couple from their thoughts.
"Time for bed, sweetheart." Amanda told her. "Santa won't come if you're awake."
Kathleen drew one more heart by her name and folded it closed. She set it near the plate of milk and cookies. She then took both of her parents' hands and pulled them upstairs.
They smiled as she jumped into bed and snuggled under her blankets. Kathleen hugged her stuffed corgi close and wished them both a good night.
Kisses and hugs were exchanged followed by the lights being turned off. A Christmas night light glowed near her bed. Amanda tucked her blankets around her before leaving with wishes of sweet dreams.
The couple returned downstairs and settled once more to wait until Kathleen was asleep. Thomas pulled Amanda into her former position and pressed a kiss to her lips.
"Merry Christmas." He murmered against her mouth.
She smiled and captured his lips in another heated kiss. "Merry Christmas to you too."
He groaned softly when she left his arms to start setting everything out. "Shouldn't we wait to make certain she is asleep."
She looked over her shoulder at him. "I can't wait."
He lifted an eyebrow in question. "Did you find something Kathleen will love that you haven't shown me yet?"
"I did." She picked up the plate of cookies and offered him some. She then chose one and nibbled on it while pulling out a few sheets of paper from her purse. "I was able to find everything she asked for."
"Good. I was worried we--" He paused and swallowed the bite of cookie. "Everything?"
Amanda nodded, tears in her eyes. "I wanted to wait until at least midnight, but I can't. The doctor had good news for us. The best news!"
Thomas got up and took her into his arms. "What did he say?"
"In six months or possibly less we will meet our babies." Amanda watched his face closely.
"Six months or--babies! As in--" he lost all ability of speech as she nodded. She placed the ultrasounds in his hands.
"Twins." She whispered, still in awe. Her hands moved over her stomach. "This time next year, there will be five of us around the tree." She pressed a kiss to his lips when he remained speechless. "You sir, are a very effective Santa."

good luck charm | 2
lucas wong x reader
Tumblr media
Summary: So you’re emotionally frustrated, Lucas is a dumbass, and one little date might be all you need to finally confess your feelings.
Word Count: 2.9K
Genre: angst, fluff
Warnings: none?
A/N: Finally a part two to this. Because of how hectic my schedule is with school and everything, the new chapter of To All The Boys will be up either this weekend or sometime during the week! I’m sorry for the wait! And also, I'm sorry for using the same gif of Lucas for both parts, but this one just s e n d s. 
The next morning, you woke up with a throbbing headache, probably from crying. It took you a few moments to remember the entire events of the previous night, but when you did, you felt that all too familiar pang in your heart that made you want to curl up and go back to sleep. Which you did, it is the weekend, until your mother came into your room and basically pulled you out of bed to help with chores. 
Throughout the next two days, your phone lit up countless times with texts from Lucas, asking if you were okay, why you weren’t replying, if your parents had caught on that you were at the races, which had become the talk of the town after the cops busted the night (two kids had been dragged in, neither of them was racers). When you wouldn’t reply to his texts, he started calling, and of course, it hurt, seeing his contact name, Xuxi with a little pink heart light up with a picture of the two of you in his car, but you eventually turned your phone off. 
And while Lucas might be a dumbass, he was still very, very, persistent. He resorted to showing up to your house. He showed up on Saturday night and your sister opened the door, telling him that you were out grabbing groceries (after you bribed her with your world-famous lemon bars for 2 months). He showed up Sunday morning, and you were thankfully still asleep. He came by again later in the morning, and you told your mom to tell him you were out. She did so, albeit very confused because as much as you didn’t like socializing, the one person you never said no to seeing was Lucas. And then he came by Sunday night, but instead of taking the door again, he resorted to throwing pebbles at your window. You continued to ignore him. You needed time. 
Monday morning came around and you woke up with dread in the pit of your stomach, because even if you woke up early enough and left before Lucas could come over in his car for your ride to school, you would still see him in your classes, in the hallway, in the cafeteria, in the library. He’d hunt you down somewhere. 
You got dressed quickly, throwing on a jacket and packing your bag as you ran downstairs. “Y/N, breakfast!” Your mom shouted, frying eggs at the stove. 
“Uh, I have a club meeting before school!” You lied, and even though she quirked an eyebrow at you, she handed you two pieces of toast wrapped in a napkin. “Thank you, love you, bye!” You grabbed your keys and ran out the door, taking a deep breath to slow your erratic heartbeat before walking to school. 
Lucas was someone that believed in being fashionably late, so he wouldn’t stop by your house until later. And because your house was on his way to school, you wouldn’t see him on the way. The perfect plan, except not really. You made it to school easily, waving at a few of your friends who waved you over. 
“Y/N, were you at the races last week? The cops completely busted the whole thing, apparently, they’ve set up a watch so kids don’t come back to the lot!” You weren’t worried about this because if there was one thing you knew about the racers is that they’d always find another place. That lot wasn’t special in any way, it was just convenient. 
You spotted Lucas walking into the building, hands shoved in his jacket pockets as he looked around the halls for you, a worried expression on his face. You hated making him worry. You ducked behind your friend inconspicuously as he looked in your direction. Not seeing you, he sighed and walked over to your locker, feet tapping nervously as he waited for you. “Uh, I have to go to homeroom, I’ll see you guys around.” 
You took off in the other direction, hoping that he wouldn’t notice you. “Y/N, wait!” Damn it. You kept walking, pretending like you didn’t hear him, but he called again, his voice closer. Your hand was closed around the handle of the girls’ bathroom door when you felt a hand close around your wrist. “Y/N, I need to talk to you.” 
“Sure, what is it?” You tried to sound natural, but with how you’ve been acting this weekend, he obviously knows better. “I have to go to homeroom, can we talk later?” 
“No, dammit, I-come on.” Dragging you through the halls, he throws the doors open and you know where he’s taking you. The football fields are close by, and there’s a spot under the bleachers the two of you always meet up in. He stops walking and lets go of you, turning to look at you with confused eyes. “What’s up with you?” 
“What do you mean?” 
“What do I mean?! You’ve been ignoring me since last week’s race! I thought you could have been busy or something but you won’t even look at me now! I- I got so fucking scared that I lost my best friend or something, and I don’t even know what I did!” 
“You didn’t do anything, Xuxi.” 
“Then why? He bends down so you’re at eye level with him, running a hand through his hair in frustration. “What did I do to make you hate me?” 
“I don’t hate you.” Your voice was barely over a whisper, refusing to meet his eyes. “And that’s the problem.”
“What? I don’t-” 
“Lucas-” 
“Don’t call me that, call me Xuxi like you always do. What do you mean, you don’t hate me-” You cut him off by grabbing him by the collar and pulling him down to kiss him, pulling away with tears in your eyes. 
“I don’t hate you,” you choke, looking at the ground. “And that’s the problem because I’m in love with you, Xuxi.” Your tears hit the pavement, and you rub at your cheeks furiously. 
“When we were in the car,” he says, coming to a realization. “When you told me you loved me, and I-” 
“-And you told me I was your best friend. And that made me realize, god, I don’t even have a chance, do I? Because I’m just going to be the best friend, won’t I?” 
“Y/N, I- I love you-” 
“-But not the way I want you to, right? It’s okay, Xuxi, I get it.” You finally meet his distraught eyes, and he’s close to tears. You rub the rest of your tears away. “It’s fine, I’ll see you in homeroom.”
“Y/N!” He calls after you as you walk away, but you don’t hear him running after you, and as you reach the doors, you just hope that he’ll run after you, grab you, tell you he loves you the way you love him, and perhaps even more than that, but you hear nothing and so you walk in, the doors slamming shut between the two of you. 
***
It’s been a week since you talked to Lucas. After that moment under the bleachers, he gave you your space, quieter than you’ve ever seen him be. But that didn’t mean he gave up. He texted you every day, he came by to drive you to school, he waited by your locker and waited outside the school to drive you home. But you continued to keep your distance. 
“Y/N!” Your friend Jihyo ran up to you, a twinkle in your eyes. “Do you know Mark Lee, from the swim team?” You nod, not understanding why she’s asking you about Mark Lee. “Well I asked him if I could set him up with one of my friends and he said sure, so will you go on a date with him?” 
You’re about to launch a well-articulated response about why you hate being set up and how you’re in the dating mindset, but you’re made vividly aware of the fact that Lucas is by your locker, close enough to hear the conversation. “Jihyo, I- I don’t really think that’s a good idea-” 
“Come on, please? He’s Daniel’s friend and he thinks you two would look really cute together also! It’s just one date.” 
“I-” 
“Okay, great. I’ll give him your number, and you guys can plan this thing yourself!” She bounds off and you’re left still confused about what just happened. 
Lucas says nothing as you walk over to your locker to put your books away, looking at the ground. “So a blind date, huh?” 
“Oh yeah, I guess. Not really expecting much from it.” I miss you, you want to say. Please come back into my life. 
He nods, starting to walk away. “Well good luck, Mark’s a good guy.” He turns around and leaves, not looking back even once. 
When you get out of school that day, he’s not waiting outside for you. 
***
You text Mark Lee, who’s a perfect gentleman and extremely polite and nice, and you guys agree that he’d pick you up from your place tomorrow night to try that new escape room. 
Lucas doesn’t text you, he doesn’t throw pebbles at your window and the next morning, he’s not waiting outside your house in his car. You want to text him, but you don’t know what to say.
You don’t wear anything special for the night, just jeans and a tee, and come 5, Mark Lee shows up on your doorstep with a shy smile and a sunflower. “Hey,” he greets, handing over the flower. “Uh, that’s for you.” 
“It’s beautiful, just let me go put this in water.” With the sunflower in a vase, you meet him outside. “So let’s get going?” You walk to his car, and you find yourself looking around, not knowing why.
Mark Lee’s funny in person, and he has great taste in music. You find out that he loves rap, and being so close to graduation, he’s gotten a scholarship to swim at a local university. “I don’t want to go too far,” he explains. “Something about home.” 
“I get what you mean,” you lie, but in reality, you’d be perfectly fine living away from this town. But then that pang hits your heart again and you think you’d be fine, as long as you had Lucas.  
You both split the cost of the escape room, and finish the escape room with 5 minutes to spare and to celebrate, Mark takes you for milkshakes, his treat. “Have you done one of these before? You’re an escape room whiz.” 
“Uh yeah,” you laugh nervously, stirring your vanilla shake. “I did one in freshman year with Xuxi- Lucas.” 
He nods, taking a long si before speaking. “I don’t mean to pry, but did something happen between you and Yukhei?” 
“It’s just a stupid fight,” you shake your head, taking a long sip of your shake. “It’s nothing.” 
“So it’s not because he’s in love with you?” You look up at Mark with surprise, and he smiles. “Come on, the whole town can see how he feels about you.” 
“Wait, no, Xuxi- he doesn’t love me? He likes me as a friend. Best friends.” 
“We both know Lucas. He’s bad with feelings, okay? He might not get it yet, but he loves you more than that. Everyone can see it, he’s just a dumbass.” 
“Then why’d you agree on this date?” 
“Because he’s my friend, and he’ll never make a move if he’s not given a push.” 
“Ooh, you’re an evil genius, Mark Lee.” 
Mark drives you home and says that even if things don’t work out between you and Lucas, he’d love to stay friends. You agree because you might not like him that way, but Mark seems like someone you’d love to be friends with. 
You’re walking down the pavement to your house when you stop, surprised by the sight of Lucas sitting on your doorstep. “Hey,” you say breathlessly. 
“Hey,” he nods, patting the step next to him. “Can we talk?” You nod and sit down. “So how was your date?” 
“It was fine, but I don’t think there’s anything- there.” He nods. “Xuxi, why are you here?”
“I- I missed you like crazy, Y/N. And I have to talk to you.”  You nod, and he continues. “When you..confessed under the bleachers, I was surprised, to say the least. For the longest time, I thought you thought of me just as your dumbass friend, so I was shocked, and I’m sorry I couldn’t really think straight then, but I’ve been thinking a lot recently.” 
“When you started ignoring me. I had a lot of time to think about things. Mainly, how much I missed you, and then about my own feelings.” 
“What do you mean-” He cuts you off with a kiss, and his lips are warm, sending heat through your body before he pulls back. “Xuxi-” 
“I love you, Y/N, and I’m so sorry it took me so long to figure it out. Whenever I saw you with your friends or you ignored my texts I felt so sad, and I almost went crazy from just two days of you going silent, and I thought it was just because I missed my friend, but then I thought about your confession, and why I always asked you for good luck kisses or dragged you to my races, and why I always wait for you to text me back, and it took Mark Lee taking you on a date for me to figure this shit out.” 
“What? I don’t- I don’t get it.” 
“When Jihyo set you guys up, I felt something here,” he taps his chest over his heart. 
“Your chest cavity?” 
“My heart, dumbass,” he laughs, and you can’t help but smile. “And I thought it was just because I was losing you, but I realized I was- jealous. I wanted to be the one taking you out and giving you flowers, I wanted you to be sitting in the passenger seat of my car, not his. And I’m so sorry I told you I loved you like my best friend, I guess I was scared.” 
“Scared of what?” 
He shrugs, looking at the ground. “I guess that part of me that knew I loved you was scared you only loved me like your idiot best friend that races to get high.” 
“Lucas, I love you because you’re an idiot that races to get high,” you laugh, wiping away your tears. “I love you because you always know how to make me laugh, and you know everything about me and you fight idiots like Jackson Wang. I love all that about you.” 
“So what do we do now?” He asks, aware of the way your hands are brushing together. You smile and put your hand on top of his, and he turns his hand around to lace your fingers together. 
“Well first,” you lean in to kiss him again and he kisses you back, cupping your face and smiling against your lips. He tastes like cherries. “I think you should ask me out on a date, Wong.” 
“Yes, ma’am,” he laughs, leaning back in to peck your lips once more. You both stand up and he keeps your hand laced through his. “Y/N Y/L/N, will you do me the honor of going on a date with me?” 
“Well a girl expects something more, but I think it’s for the greater good that you get off the market, so yes, I will go out with you.” 
“Yes, women everywhere thank you,” he laughs and pulls you back into his arms, kissing you once again. “I love you.” 
“I know.” 
“Okay, I deserve that.” 
You laugh and slip out of his arms, unlocking your front door. “I love you too, Xuxi. Now go home.” 
“As you wish, babe.” 
*** It is way too early to be awake when your sister throws a pillow at you to wake you up. “Ow! What the-” 
“Tell your boyfriend to stop throwing rocks at your window before mom and dad wake up-” You dart to your window, almost taking a pebble to the eye as you throw your window open.
“Lucas, what are you doing?” Lucas smiles at you from under your window, a bunch of flowers in one hand and his phone playing music in the other. 
“I thought I’d ask you out the right way!” He yells back. Your sister gags, but you don’t pay attention to her as you run downstairs. By the time you get to the front door, he’s already there, with a dopey smile and the bouquet held out to you. “Good morning, Miss L/N.” 
“Right back at ya, Wong. What brings you here this fine Saturday?” 
“I was wondering if you’d do little old me a favor and go out with me?” 
“What do I get out of it?” You scoff, not able to contain your smile as you lean against the doorway. He smiles, then leans in to kiss you again. 
“Me,” he says simply, pressing the flowers into your hand. 
“Cocky bastard.” 
“You love it.”

When the Stars Align (M)
Tumblr media
Part of the Bangtan Assortment Collaboration 
Pairing: Min Yoongi x Reader
Genre: FakeDating!AU with a hint of roommates (well actually more like apartment-mates but roommates is catchier), College!AU, fluff, angst
Word count: 10.5k
Content/Warnings: Mentions of heavy drinking, drug usage, strong language, but also cute things like adopting a dog together
Summary: With cuffing season approaching its end, you thought you had escaped the pressures of finding a boyfriend for the holidays. That is, until your friends set you up on a blind date that goes horribly wrong. This prompts you to enlist the help of your roommate, Yoongi, to fake a relationship so your friends will stop meddling in your love life. And it turns out Yoongi is a lot better at this romance thing than you originally thought...
Tumblr media
Spending Valentine’s Day alone sucks.
Even though some people claim they don’t care about being single on one of the many holidays created by capitalist overlords solely to profit off the purest emotion we as humans can experience, everyone cares, just a little bit.
Valentine’s Day is just about the fakest holiday known to man. Does anyone even remember the original meaning behind it anymore? You’re just painfully reminded of how single you are. No one even gets the day off, so can it really be considered a holiday? Although you admit you still can’t help but fall for its charms: The cute little teddy bears that line the grocery store shelves; pink and red, heart-shaped balloons, boxes, and pretty much everything; and candy, half-priced the following day. Also, seeing all the couples being lovey-dovey with each other kind of makes you wish you had someone to cuddle for yourself.
You’ve never really been in a long-term relationship. (Unless you count that boy in high school, who helped you raise your very own sack of flour in health class, equipped with its own voice box to cry every couple of hours, and you two were together all day, every day, for two months straight. Let’s just say that was a bonding experience in more ways than one, and you did very well in health class that semester. The two of you dated for a year after that.)
The thing is, in this fast-paced, ever-changing world, you get bored easily. Some of your relationships don’t last more than a month, a day, or even past the first date.
There is only one person you want to spend Valentine’s Day with this year, and you know he absolutely does not feel the same. And probably never will.
Tumblr media
Let’s take a little trip back to last December.
You and your group of friends decided to go out for sushi at your favorite all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant. All of you had just finished finals, so you went out to celebrate.
“Y/N! Are you going with anyone to the New Year Ball?” Jungkook asked loudly over the chatter in the restaurant.
The annual New Year Ball is a huge holiday party put on by your school’s Student Association at the end of each calendar year. The original purpose of this social was for frats, sororities, and clubs to recruit new members, but the event is now used as a way for burnt out college students to drink and blow off steam after final exams. The Student Association books out the entire student center (all three floors of it) for the party of the year. You have no idea why the school would allow such a function, let alone fund it, but you can’t complain. You’re a sucker for free food and alcohol.
“No, I was just gonna go with you guys,” you said before stuffing a too-big piece of tiger roll into your mouth.
“Uh uh,” Hoseok interjected. “We all have dates.”
Taehyung, who was seated to your right, reached across you to grab the soy sauce. “Seriously, you don’t have anyone to go with?”
You shook your head, still chewing.
“What about Kai?”
Kai was a guy you met on a dating app last semester who you ended up hooking up and then never seeing again. He was a terrible person, so arrogant and full of himself. You felt your personalities clash the second you two met. But he was also a beautiful god of a man and you weren’t going to let him slip away from you before banging one out with him. After that, you deleted the app and blocked his number.
You forced the colossal piece of sushi down your throat so that you could finally speak. “Nooooo.” You shook your head vigorously. “That ship has sailed. Plus he’s a Capricorn.”
They all gave you a puzzled look that said they needed more explanation.
“Hello? I’m an Aries?” You waved your hands around, gesturing toward yourself, nearly whacking Taehyung with your chopsticks. “Aries can’t stand Capricorns.”
Taehyung rolled his eyes. “Oh no, you didn’t ask him for his birth chart on the first date, did you?”
“No.” You shifted your gaze away from him and sipped your drink.
“Jesus.”
“Okay,” Seokjin chimed in with half an edamame pod hanging out of his mouth, “but you really need a boyfriend. You’re the only one of us that’s single.”
Namjoon motioned for Hoseok to pass him the wasabi and ginger. “Yeah, sometimes we want to invite you places but worry you’ll feel awkward because all of us are bringing our girlfriends.”
“That’s fine! I love hanging out with your girlfriends! Sometimes it’s too much testosterone when it’s just you guys.”
“No.”  Namjoon shook his head. “We need to find you a boyfriend, too.”
“Joon, I don’t want–”
“How about Taeyong!” Jimin suggested.
“I don’t know, isn’t he kind of a fuckboy? I don’t want our Y/N to get hurt.”
“It’s just one date. Plus they’ll be with us. We won’t let anything bad happen.” Taehyung gave you a reassuring grin.
You huff. “Fine. Can you pass me the rainbow roll please?”
Tumblr media
So, that New Year’s Eve, you got ready for the party as your roommate (flatmate, housemate, or apartment-mate are probably more accurate descriptions for what he is, since the two of you share an apartment/flat, but have separate rooms. However, for simplicity, let’s use “roommate” from now on) made dinner in the kitchen.
“Oooh, got a date tonight?” he teased, whisking together some eggs in a bowl as you were leaving.
“That’s none of your business,” you replied, shoving a gold hoop earring into your ear.
He eyed your outfit. “Don’t you think that dress is a little… I don’t know… Short?”
You resisted the urge to flip him off. “Shut the fuck up, you perv. I can wear whatever I want.”
Yoongi chuckled to himself. “Whatever.”
“Bye, Yoongi!”
“Don’t get too crazy out there, Y/N. You know how NYB can be.”
You simply rolled your eyes and left, shutting the door behind you without saying anything further.
Tumblr media
You had to watch how much you drank that night, because your friends had declared you the designated driver for your date, which you’re still salty about. The six of them arrived shortly after you did, with Taeyong in tow. You had never met the boy before, but right off the bat you could see that he is undeniably handsome. Now you knew why people called him a fuckboy. With a face and body like that, you would use it to your advantage, too.
You greeted your friends in the lobby and before you could say anything further, Taeyong walked straight up to you.
“We’re going to find our girlfriends,” Jungkook informed you. And then the six of them left you alone with your date.
“Hi, I’m Taeyong,” he held his hand out, intending for you to shake it.
Wow, a gentleman. “Hi. Y/N.”
“I know, your friends have told me quite a bit about you.” He shot you a flirty smile.
Since you’re here, you might as well have some fun. “Well, that’s not fair, I hardly know anything about you.”
“Then we should spend the rest of the night getting to know each other, shouldn’t we?” He smirked, not breaking eye contact with you for a second.
Oh, he was good. A smooth talker with shiny brown eyes that could pull you in, hypnotize you, and leave you wanting to give him all of your attention.
“AY, TAEYONG!” The shout rang across the lobby of the Student Center, pulling you out of the little moment you just had with Taeyong. It was one of his frat brothers, marching over carrying three shot glasses. “Let’s do some shots, bro!”
“You know it!” Taeyong greeted his brother with a shoulder bump and took two of the shot glasses from him. He offered one of them to you.
Hesitantly, you took it, suddenly feeling a bit shy since you don’t really know either of these guys. Both of them took their shots and Taeyong looked toward you expectantly, waiting for you to take yours. You downed it quickly, and gave the tiny plastic cup back to Taeyong’s friend.
“Thanks, man.” He clapped his friend on the back.
“Yo, of course, bro. Listen, this really hot ABG was getting all up on me earlier, so I’m gonna go back over to her. I’ll catch you later, alright?”
“Yeah, I’ll see you later, man!” Taeyong waved his friend off. “Let’s get some more drinks!” Before you could say anything, he grabbed your hand and pulled you toward the drink table.
There was a lot of alcohol. More than enough for the entire student body to get absolutely wasted. The Student Association definitely did not skimp out this year. It looked as if they bought out the whole alcohol section of the nearest Costco.
“Oh shit!” Taeyong’s eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store. “We gon’ get turnt tonight!” He whooped.
“I have to drive you home later, so I can’t drink too much,” you reminded him.
“All good, Y/N,” he said while pouring himself some beer into a red plastic cup. “I’ll drink enough for the both of us.” He then added two shots of soju to his cup and chugged it quickly until it was all gone. You must have made a concerned face, because Taeyong placed a hand on your shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I can handle my alc.”
For some reason, that didn’t reassure you too much.
Tumblr media
“So how did you and your friends meet?” Taeyong had to shout over the music and the overall loudness of all the people around you.
You two were in one of the study rooms, which had been converted into a lounge for the party. Sofas lined the edges of the walls. You and Taeyong were now sitting in one of the more secluded ones in the corner behind some fake potted plants.
“I met Jungkook in elementary school, the rest of the guys were accumulated throughout high school and college.”
“Mhm.” He responded in a way that didn’t seem like he was actually listening. His hand was on your thigh, slowly inching its way upward. Maybe Yoongi was right, maybe this dress was a little too short.
“How did you meet them?” you asked.
Taeyong took a sip of his drink. “I know Jungkook, Jimin, and Hoseok from dance. The other three I just met tonight.” He was a little too close, and his breath smelled strongly of beer.
“Ahh, I see.” You were running out of small talk. You didn’t know what you could possibly talk about with him. From what you’ve gathered, he’s an economics major with enough units to graduate already, but he’s staying so that he doesn’t miss out on any of the parties his fraternity hosts. All he seems to do is drink and fuck, and tonight was no different.
As you were talking, his hand made its way even higher up your thigh, and at this point it was right at the hem of your dress. Taeyong teased the edge with his finger, looking into your eyes to gauge your reaction.
You shook your head and pushed his hand away. You couldn’t deny he was attractive, and you wouldn’t have minded sleeping with him, but this was not the time nor the place. “I’m not having sex with you on school property.”
“Come on, why not? I’ve done it before, it’s no big deal. Plus, I used to work here, so I know which closets we can get into without a key.” He winked at you.
You leaned in so that your lips were right next to his ear. “Save it for later.”
The boy smirked at you. “Fine.”
“TAEYOOOOOOOOOOONG,” you heard someone shout from across the room. You and Taeyong looked over to find an obnoxiously handsome guy in a letterman jacket holding a bottle of tequila. “SHOTS?!”
“HELL YEAH!” Taeyong leapt up from the sofa, throwing his plastic cup onto the floor, and bounded over to his frat brother.
You stayed behind and watched them from afar. A small crowd of dudebros gathered around them, holding out tiny plastic cups as letterman-jacket-guy filled them to the brim with alcohol. Taeyong took six shots, one with each of the guys, and bellowed triumphantly as soon as he downed the last one.
“BEER BONG?!” One of them shouted.
Taeyong hooted in agreement and followed his friends into the next room, completely overlooking your existence.
Where were your friends? You hadn’t seen them throughout the entire party, and you definitely were looking for them. In all honesty, you didn’t really like being alone with Taeyong. The two of you just didn’t click, and he’s very touchy when he’s drunk. Therefore, you were hoping that you would be able to find your friends and hang out with them as well, but you hadn’t seen them the whole night.
You took the elevator up to the third floor, where an actual, literal rave was taking place. The third floor was one big ballroom, and tonight, multicolored lights flashed and loud electronic music thumped as hundreds of sweaty, drunk college kids danced around. If your friends were up here, there would be no way for you to find them, so you gave up on the cause and took the elevator back down. You could still feel the pounding of the bass even after the elevator doors closed, and on your way down you wondered if that was safe, or if the vibrations from the music would compromise the strength of the cables and the elevator would come crashing down, inevitably leading to your tragic death. Yoongi would probably know.
With a ding! the elevator doors opened and you arrived back on the second floor. You were greeted with the sight of your date, a funnel connected to a tube which fed into his mouth, and one of his friends pouring an entire keg of beer down said funnel.
“CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!” The crowd around him chanted.
You sighed to yourself. Frat boys will be frat boys.
“It’s just one date. We won’t let anything bad happen.” You grumbled. That’s what your friends had said to you, but where were they now? Nowhere to be found. You tried texting your group chat with them, but none of them replied.
You went back to the secluded corner from earlier and sat down. You checked your phone again, and still nothing from your friends. You pouted and opened your messaging app.
You: how’s your night going?
You waited a few seconds and then felt the device vibrate in your hand.
Nerd: Shhhhh Halsey is performing You: smh you and your obsession with halsey Nerd: Not so much obsession as admiration Nerd: She’s on my list of top 5 people i want to work with one day You: haha in your dreams Nerd: It’ll happen just you wait Nerd: Also why are you messaging me? your date not going well?
“Y/N!!!!!!!!!” As if on cue Taeyong drunkenly stumbled over to you. He was so inebriated that he could barely walk. His friends had to support most of his weight.
“Oh my god,” you muttered.
When his friends let him go, he collapsed onto the floor, and was too drunk to pick himself up.
“What happened to being able to handle your alc?”
Taeyong struggled to lift his head up. “What are you talking about? I’m totally fine.” His words were badly slurred as he spoke, and you almost couldn’t understand him.
“Oh, jeez. Okay.” You stepped around him and bent over so that you could hoist him up by his armpits. “We need to get you home.”
“No! I’m totally fine!” When you got him to his feet he grabbed a shot glass from someone walking by and poured it into his mouth. The alcohol dribbled down his chin and the passerby shot him a look of annoyance because Taeyong just stole their drink.
You smacked Taeyong on the back of the head. “Stop drinking! You’re gonna kill yourself if you keep going.”
He stomped his foot like a child. “Noooooo!”
You began dragging him toward the elevator and he didn’t resist. When the elevator arrived, you pushed your date into it and pushed the button for the first floor. When the doors opened, you pulled Taeyong out and almost bumped into Jungkook.
“Hey, Y/N! Are you having fun?” He still hadn’t noticed how inebriated Taeyong was.
“I’m not in the mood for small talk right now, Jungkook. Where have you guys been?” You didn’t even try to hide your annoyance.
“Whoa,” Jungkook gasped, noticing your drunk friend for the first time. “What happened?”
“I don’t want to talk about it. Can you tell the rest of the guys that I’m taking Taeyong home now?” You pulled Taeyong toward the entrance.
“Okay. Are you coming back? It’s still pretty early.”
“I think I’ve had enough for one night. I’m never forgiving you guys for this. Goodnight, Jungkook.”
Jungkook waved you goodbye. “Okay, get home safe, Y/N.”
Tumblr media
You opened the door to your apartment and saw Yoongi sitting on the couch, sipping on a bottle of beer, and watching the ball dropping ceremony on TV.
“You’re home early,” he remarked. “Didn’t like your date?”
“I don’t want to talk about it.” You kicked off your shoes and walked right passed him and into your room, slamming the door shut behind you.
“Goodnight, I guess.” Yoongi shrugged and returned to watching his program.
Tumblr media
You and your friends regrouped for brunch on the following Sunday morning. Even the barely noticeable smell of alcohol from the mimosas that Jin and Jimin ordered brought back nauseating memories of the party.
“I can’t believe you set me up with Taeyong, who I later found out is a Cancer???? Aries are the least compatible with Cancers!!!”
“I thought that was Capricorns,” Hoseok asserted before stuffing his face with french toast.
“Them too! Capricorns and Aries usually can’t stand each other but when you find two that are compatible it’s like–”
“Anyway,” Taehyung interrupted. “It wasn’t even his personality that you didn’t like, it was his lack of control.”
“It doesn’t matter!” You protested. “It was doomed from the start!”
“Whatever. Enough of this fictitious mumbo jumbo.” Taehyung waved his hand dismissively. “So, Taeyong was an utter failure. Who else do we know who’s single?” The question was directed at the other five boys at the table.
“I don’t want you setting me up with anymore of your friends,” you told them.
“Too bad, we need to find you a boyfriend. You can’t let one bad date stop you from going on others.”
They didn’t seem to be taking no for an answer. You needed to put a stop to this fast. But how? You didn’t have time to think. Before anyone could respond with their suggestions, you blurted out, “I’m dating Yoongi!”
Taehyung nearly choked on his strawberry. “What? Your roommate? Isn’t he a Pisces?”
“And?”
“Aries aren’t compatible with Pisces.”
“And how would you know that, Tae? Aren’t you the one who made fun of me for looking up Kai’s birth chart? Aren’t you the one who just – not even a minute ago – called it fictitious mumbo jumbo?”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” Jungkook holds his hands out to stop everyone. “How did this happen?”
Jimin looked at you curiously. “Yeah, Y/N. You’ve been living with Yoongi for almost a year. Why now?”
“Uhhhh.” You wracked your brain for an explanation. How did you get together with Yoongi? You had to come up with an explanation that your friends would believe. “After I dropped off Taeyong the night of the New Year Ball, I came home crying.” Your palms started to sweat so you rubbed your hands together. “Yoongi was still awake watching the ball dropping ceremony, so he comforted me, and we ended up falling asleep on the couch together.”
“Did you fuck him?”
You kicked Seokjin under the table. “No! Jin, don’t be gross!”
“Owww! What? You’re the type to move pretty fast. I don’t know.” He bent down to rub his shin.
“Wait, hold up,” Jungkook cut in, ready to poke holes in your story. “Since when do you cry?”
“Hey! I cry! What are you talking about?”
“I don’t know. Sounds kind of fake. I’ve known you for more than ten years and I’ve only seen you cry once when your turtle died.”
“I can cry! I’m perfectly capable of crying!”
“If what you’re saying is true, then bring Yoongi with you the next time we get dinner together. Does Tuesday night work for everyone?”
All the boys nodded their heads.
Shit. You could feel your face getting hot. “Uhh, since the relationship is still pretty new, I’m not sure Yoongi would want to make it public just yet,” you lied.
“Come on, Y/N. We’ve known Yoongi for over a year, and we’ve known you for even longer. There’s no reason for you guys to hide from us.”
You groaned. “Fine, I’ll bring him. But don’t think I’ve forgiven you guys for setting me up with that trainwreck.”
“We’re sorry, Y/N. Really.”
Tumblr media
How would you possibly explain this whole situation to your roommate? “Hey, uh, I told my friends we were dating so they wouldn’t set me up with another fuckboy, and now they want to do a septuple date.”???
You just know he would give you endless shit for this. For as long as you’ve known him, Yoongi has always been the sarcastic smartass who loves to poke fun at you.
From commenting on what you wear: “That’s not a shirt, Y/N.” (Also, remember your dress on New Year’s Eve?)
Giving you “helpful” hints when you try to fix something that broke: “You know that’s not going to work, right?”
To helping you with your math homework: “You get to ask me one question per month. After that I’m going to start charging you a fee.”
To some, his treatment toward you may seem harsh or mean. What a lot of people don’t understand is that you two are this way because you’re comfortable with each other. It’s not one-sided. You definitely roast Yoongi back. And it’s never serious. It’s a sibling type of banter.
Although the two of you are comfortable with each other, Yoongi also keeps to himself a lot, only sharing bits and pieces of him with you. He’s serious and stoic a lot of the time, and when he’s home, you mostly see him studying or watching TV. But you guess this is typical behavior of someone who’s studying to be a sound engineer.
He rarely tells you anything about his dating life. He had a girlfriend when he first moved in. You know this because he would bring her over every weekend, and you would hear them in his room. Every. Fucking. Weekend. But all of that stopped a couple of months ago. You know they broke up, but you don’t know why, or whose decision it was. Yoongi rarely talked about her, so you couldn’t tell if he actually liked her or not, or if it was just a sexual thing. Come to think of it, you couldn’t remember the last time he expressed feelings for anyone.
You turned toward your roommate, who sat next to you on the couch, reading one of his textbooks.
“Are you a sociopath?” You asked him, casually of course, as roommates do.
Without even looking up he replied with, “What in that tiny, little brain of yours prompted you to ask me such a thing?”
You smacked him with one of your throw pillows, which took Yoongi a considerable amount of convincing to let you buy because he thought they were “useless and a waste of money.”
“Because I’ve never seen you express emotion toward anything. Not even food.”
“Just because I don’t have an orgasm every time I eat pizza like you do, does not mean I’m a sociopath. For your information, I am perfectly capable of emotion. I just prefer to channel it into my music.”
You rolled your eyes. He’s so pretentious. “Then why aren’t you dating anyone?
He closed his textbook. “Jeez, Y/N. Not everything is about dating. I just got out of that messy relationship with Nayeon, remember?
“I thought you were just with her for sex? I didn’t know you actually liked her.”
“We were together for four fucking years, of course I liked her. You don’t just share such a big chunk of your life with someone and not feel something for them.”
“Oh, I didn’t know that you were together for that long. You never really told me much about her.”
He shrugged. “That’s because you entered my life during the last year of our relationship, and at that point we could already feel our relationship start to all apart.”
“She was here all the time, though.”
“Yeah, we thought seeing each other more would help fix us, but after a while it just got kind of tedious. So we called it off.”
This was good, this was the most information you’d gotten out of him in a while. “Do you still have feelings for her?”
“Of course, but it didn’t work out. It’s in the past now and I need to move on. My friends think that finding someone knew would help me get over it, but I need to take some time for myself.”
You nodded understandingly. “What were you like with her? You know, before all the bad stuff. I can’t imagine you being romantic in any sense of the word,” you jested.
“Hey! I was romantic! I took her to the beach and bought her flowers and stuff.”
“Wow. A real stunner, you are,” you said sarcastically
Yoongi rolled his eyes
“Hey, here’s a nutty idea.”
Your roommate raised an eyebrow at you. You thought long and hard about how you were going to do this. All the scenarios that played out in your head seemed utterly ridiculous, but you had to tell him somehow. This seemed like the least weird way to broach the subject with him.
“What if we like….. Pretended to date?” you asked hesitantly, wiping your sweaty palms onto your throw pillow. See? It’s not entirely useless.
“Why the fuck would we do that?”
“You know… Because my friends are trying to set me up with people… And from what you’ve said, your friends want you to start dating again, too.”
“Yeah, that’s what my friends want, but I don’t have to do what they want.”
“I’m just saying, you know… It might be beneficial for both of us.” You couldn’t look Yoongi in the eyes. Instead, your gaze shifted just about everywhere else: out the window, the TV, the ceiling.
Yoongi definitely noticed and could tell you were hiding something. His eyes narrowed at you. “What’s the real reason, Y/N.”
You shrugged and shook your head. “That is the real reason.”
“You’re a terrible liar.” His gaze grew more intense and you could feel his gaze burning holes into your face.
You sighed deeply. “Fine. So I… Uhh…”
Yoongi looked at you expectantly. Were you really going to tell him? You had to own up to your stupid decision. But it was exactly that: stupid.
“I may or may not have told my friends that you and I are dating.”
“Fucking hell, Y/N.” There wasn’t even any surprise in his voice. It was more like disappointment, exasperation. Like his exact thoughts were, typical Y/N, always up to the same shenanigans.
“I’m sorry! I panicked! I didn’t want to get setup with another Taeyong and you were the first person who came to mind! I just kind of blurted it out during brunch!”
Yoongi was silent for a long time, and you couldn’t tell what he was thinking. What would you do if he said no? What would you tell your friends?
After an eternity, he finally answered. “Fine”
You let out a sigh of relief. “Great. Our first date is tomorrow.”
“Fucking hell! Thanks for the warning!”
“See you then!” You jumped up from the couch and ran to your room before he could verbally abuse you further.
Tumblr media
“Oh my god. Are you seriously wearing that on our first date?” Yoongi was standing in the doorway to his room as you eyed his outfit, which consisted of a white t-shirt underneath an unbuttoned red and cream plaid flannel, accompanied by ripped light wash jeans and old tennis shoes.
“Yeah? What’s wrong with this?” He gave you a mildly annoyed, confused look.
“Nothing’s wrong with it if you’re going to class. But this is dinner with my friends! Our debut as a couple! You can’t wear that!”
Yoongi sighed. “Fine. Then what do you suggest I wear.”
You huffed and pushed past him into his room, him following closely behind. You stared into his closet, eighty percent of which was completely black. Somehow, today, he managed to throw on the only non-black outfit he owned.
“No. No. No.” You grumbled as you sifted through his clothes.
“Why do I even need to dress nicely? I’ve already met all your friends. It’s not like I have to make a good first impression or anything.”
“Still! They would never believe I would date someone who’s dressed like that.”
“Hey! You know, you’re such a bitch sometimes.”
“I know.” You pulled out a red and black swirly patterned button down that was squeezed between two black sweaters. Ugh, there was no method of organization to this closet whatsoever. You caught a glimpse of the tag as you removed it from the closet. “Dior? Damn. I didn’t know you were the type to wear designer.”
Yoongi snatched it out of your hand protectively. “I’m not. Nayeon gave it to me.”
You gently took it back from him. “Okay, so it’s a touchy subject. I guess we’re not going with that one.” You put it back on to the clothing rack and pull out a long wool coat. “Valentino? You’re kidding me, right? Is there any nice stuff in here that you bought yourself?”
Yoongi shook his head.
“Now I know why she bought all of this stuff for you: so you don’t embarrass her everytime you two went out in public.” You sighed. “Well, I guess we’re just going to have to work with it.”
You pulled the red and black shirt back out and handed it and the coat to Yoongi.
“No peeking,” Yoongi warned. You nodded and turned around.
As he changed, you rifled through his closet for some suitable pants, so you wouldn’t accidentally catch a glimpse of your roommate shirtless. You found the pair of black ripped jeans that Yoongi always wore and decided to go with those.
“I don’t like this jacket,” Yoongi whined. You took it as a sign that it was safe to turn around.
The jacket reached almost to the floor, and his arms were tight against his sides, like he could barely move them. “You’re right. You look so stuffy. Like a little old man.”
“Hey! Listen up, bitch.” Yoongi squared his shoulders and took a couple of steps closer to you. “I may be older than you, but I’m also taller.” He prodded your shoulder threateningly with his finger.
“Not if I wear heels. Which is what I’m planning to do tonight.” You smirked at him.
“Fine, then I’ll wear my platform sneakers.”
“That still won’t be enough,” you teased.
He frowned and you chuckled at his reaction.
“I’m kidding. I’m not going to wear heels tonight. So, you still get to be taller than me.”
“Why does it feel like I’m receiving some sort of consolation prize?”
You rolled your eyes. “God, you’re so annoying.”
“Can I just go without the jacket? It’s not that cold outside.” Yoongi struggled to take off his coat so you walked up behind him and helped pull it down his shoulders.
“Okay, but if I get cold, what are you going to offer me for protection? How are you supposed to romantically give me your jacket if you don’t even have one?”
Yoongi groaned. “God, your ideas of romance are so antiquated.”
“And your ideas of romance are nonexistent!” You countered.
“Whatever,” he spat. “Just pick a jacket you want to wear then. It’s too warm out for me to wear one.”
You grudgingly agreed and grabbed a simple black blazer from the closet. The tag on the back said H&M.
Tumblr media
“You guys! I’m so excited to try this place!” Taehyung ran up to where you and Yoongi waited outside the new omurice restaurant that opened up across town.
“I hope it’s good,” Yoongi said. “This would be the first omurice place here and I haven’t had decent omurice since I went to Kyoto a couple of years ago.”
“What is this? You? Min Yoongi? Getting excited about food?”
Yoongi shot you a warning look, which you ignored.
“If you miss it so much, why don’t you try making it yourself?”
“If you paid any attention to me at all, you would know I make it all the time, but it’s never the same.”
You frowned at him, offended that he would accuse you of not paying him any attention at home. “I totally pay attention to you!”
“Then you would know I made omurice just last Thursday!”
“Thursday is my busy day! I wasn’t home all day!”
“Okay!” Taehyung interrupted, clapping his hands together. He was probably afraid you two would either start throwing punches or angrily making out. Neither of which he wanted to witness at that moment. “Let’s get a table and wait for the others inside.”
Tumblr media
“So did you enjoy it? Was it as good as the one you had in Kyoto?” You looped your arm around Yoongi’s and rested your chin on his shoulder.
Yoongi set his spoon down onto his now empty plate and wiped his mouth with a napkin. “It was pretty good.” He didn’t turn to face you because he didn’t want his face that close to yours. “But to be honest, nothing can top the one I ate in Kyoto.”
You moved your hand toward Yoongi’s, which was now placed limply on his thigh. He squirmed as you got too close to his crotch.
“Hold my hand, dumbass,” you whispered so that only he could hear. “And smile please.”
Yoongi turned his face toward you and gave you a soft smile so convincing, your heart fluttered for a split second before you came to your senses. He leisurely intertwined his fingers with yours.
“Thanks, you’re doing a great job,” you told him. Yoongi was never really one to seek out praise and validation, but you wanted him to know that he was doing a good job.
“Awww, you guys are so cute,” Hoseok cooed. “Y/N, I’m glad you’re finally dating someone again.”
“I don’t know why y’all are so damn concerned with my love life. It’s none of your fucking business.”
“It’s just that you haven’t been in a relationship in so long, this is quite interesting to watch.”
You twisted your face at Jungkook.
“So tell me more about how this whole thing happened.” Jungkook sat up attentively, putting his elbows up on the table and resting his face in his hands, wanting to hear every word you had to say.
“I already told you everything.”
“Okay, but I want to hear it from Yoongi’s perspective.” He nodded at your fake boyfriend.
“Shit,” you muttered and squeezed Yoongi’s hand. You raised an eyebrow at Yoongi, an expression that said, “You remember what I told you, right?”
Yoongi nodded. “Well, I don’t know what Y/N told you but, she came home really upset after the New Year Ball, thanks to you guys, and that’s when it kind of happened.”
“We’ve apologized so many times for that.” Jin rolled his eyes.
“And yet I still don’t accept your apologies,” you quipped.
You looked over at Jungkook to see that he was eyeing you warily. Your cheeks burned under his scrutiny. Did he still not believe you? Even after you and Yoongi’s blatant (albeit forced) displays of affection? Maybe because he knew neither of you were big fans of PDA. Or maybe because he’s known you for more than half your life and can tell when you’re lying 90% of the time.
Just when you’re about to crack under his gaze, the waiter comes over with the bill.
“So how are we going to do this?” Namjoon addressed everyone at the table.
“I don’t know. You’re the math major; you tell us,” Jimin retorted.
Yoongi grabbed his wallet from his back pocket with the hand that wasn’t holding yours. “I’ll pay for Y/N and me.”
“How noble,” Jungkook scoffed.
You leaned closer to Yoongi. “You don’t have to do that.”
“Of course, it’s our first date. Let me pay.”
You blushed. “Okay.”
Then the unexpected happened. Yoongi leaned in closer and gave you a quick peck on the tip of your nose.
You gaped at him momentarily and then immediately regained your composure. You turned around to see Hoseok and Jin looking at you fondly, Taehyung and Jimin making disgusted faces, Jungkook with his eyebrows raised in a look of surprise and horror, and Namjoon too distracted by figuring out how to split the bill.
Luckily, because of this stunt, Jungkook forgot about grilling Yoongi with the questions.
“Okay, so I’m going to cover it with my credit card and I’ll charge you guys on BuddyPay.” Namjoon announced, still totally oblivious to the kiss that just shocked the whole table.
Everyone else grumbled in agreement.
After the payment was sorted out, your friends trickled out of the restaurant while you and Yoongi stayed behind. The second they were gone, Yoongi dropped your hand as if you had the plague.
“God, your hand is so sweaty,” he griped, wiping his hand on his jeans.
“Sorry! I was nervous!”
“Aww. You get nervous around me?”
“It wasn’t because of you, asshole.” You slapped his arm. “It’s because I’m a terrible liar! I almost popped a blood vessel everytime one of them looked me in the eye. Especially Jungkook! I know he suspects something.”
Yoongi shrugged. “Well, if it means anything, I think you were pretty convincing.”
“Thanks. It doesn’t. Also why did you kiss me? We never agreed to any kissing.”
“Did that kiss really affect you that much?” Yoongi smirked and got up from his seat.
You huffed. “Fuck you, Yoongi!”
“A kiss is as far as I’m gonna go.”
You scowled and grabbed his jacket off the back of his chair, jogging a little to catch up to him.
By the time you caught up, he was waiting by the door for you. “How are we going to make it convincing if I never kiss you?” Yoongi rolled his eyes. “Also, if you pop a blood vessel, I’m not driving you to the hospital.”
You frowned. “Whatever. Let’s get out of here.”
Tumblr media
“God, I’m so full,” you groaned once you got outside. “Can we walk around a bit?”
Yoongi nodded. “Sure. I’ve never been in this plaza. We can check out what they have.”
Out of the corner of your eye you notice a Critter Castle on the other side of the parking lot.
“Ooh! A pet store! Let’s go in!” You grabbed Yoongi by the wrist and hauled him across the parking lot.
Immediately when you walk in, Yoongi gravitated toward the puppies. There was a small one, with curly brown fur that he took a particular liking to.
“Hey there, little guy.” The puppy perked up and started hopping around in its pen. “You’re an excited one aren’t you? Hi.” He brought his hand up to the barrier, allowing the puppy to stick its nose through and lick Yoongi’s fingers.
It wasn’t often that you got to see Yoongi’s soft side. He was always either serious or sarcastic around you. But seeing him like this made the corner of your lips tug up and your heart feel warm.
What was this weird feeling? It couldn’t possibly be… Could it?
You shook off the weird feeling. “What’s its name?” You asked Yoongi.
Yoongi looked at the sign the hung on the edge of the play pen. “Holly.”
“So it’s a girl?”
“The sign says it’s a boy. Awww and he’s only two weeks old! So fucking tiny!”
You giggled. “Do you want him?”
“What?”
“Do you want to adopt Holly?”
“I– yes. But would you be okay with that?”
You nodded.
“Oh my god. Then yes, I want this dog more than anything.”
“Okay wait here, I’ll go talk to a worker.”
You returned a couple of minutes later to find Yoongi sitting on the floor, sticking his fingers in the holes of the pen and playing with the little puppy.
“So, I have some bad news.”
Yoongi sighed. “Y/N, always gotta ruin things.”
“Shut up! The worker said Holly is still too young to be adopted, but we can come back in a month and a half or so and if he’s still here we can adopt him.”
“Can we like, preemptively adopt him? Like put him on hold or something?”
“I asked and she said adoptions here don’t work that way since it’s not a shelter. We’re just going to have to come back later and hope for the best.”
You could see Yoongi’s face fall. “Okay.” He stood up. “It was nice knowing you, Holly. Hopefully we can meet again soon.”
“We’ll come back for you, Holly.”
The little dog yapped and hopped with joy, but when the two of you began walking away, he whined and put his head to the floor.
Tumblr media
About a month passes and now it’s the present again. Pretending with Yoongi has gotten a lot easier and more comfortable. Your friends have invited you and Yoongi out to septuple dates with their girlfriends, and you genuinely have fun.
But having a month pass means it’s now February, and everyone knows what dreaded holiday comes in February.
You fling yourself onto the couch right next to where Yoongi is sitting. “So it’s Valentine’s Day next week.”
“And?”
“And are we going to do something special?”
Yoongi makes a disgusted face. You grimace at his grimace.
“Come on! Jungkook will definitely think something is up if we don’t post something cute on Instagram,” you whine.
For the last month, even when your friends didn’t invite you and Yoongi out to do stuff with them, you still took pictures of the two of you together to keep up appearances on social media. Yoongi was surprisingly good at it, knowing exactly how to pose or what caption to write to get a reaction out of people. Everyone seems to love sharing their relationship with the world, and Valentine’s Day is the prime time to do so, so it would definitely be odd if you and Yoongi didn’t do something sickeningly romantic for the special day.
“How about we just get one of those long candles and light it next to a rose and take a picture of that, then we can go back to living our lives like normal? Most of social media is fake anyway, so I don’t see why we actually have to do something special instead of just pretending we did.”
“Ooh! What if I get a bunch of rose petals and sprinkle them from the front door to your room? And then I caption it something like, ‘Came home from class and was greeted with this, *suggestive emoji*.’”
“No! No offense, but I don’t want to imply that I’m having sex with you.”
“We’re dating, it’s already implied.”
Yoongi’s face twists. “How long are we going to keep this up, anyway? I’m not going to fake date you forever.”
“Oh my god!” You exclaim, ignoring his question. “I’ve got it!”
“What?” Yoongi asks, his tone fearful.
“The pet store has discounted pet adoptions on Valentine’s Day.”
“Okay…”
“Let’s adopt Holly together!”
Yoongi’s eyes light up, but he tries to contain his excitement when he says, “So you’re serious about it? You really want to adopt a dog together?”
“Of course! I’ve always wanted a dog.”
Your roommate raises an eyebrow. “You never said anything.”
“Because I didn’t know you liked dogs.”
“So, you’re actually serious about this?” He asks again, just to be absolutely sure.
“Yes, Yoongi! I am 100% serious.”
He jumps up and gives you a big hug, squeezing you so hard that you almost can’t breathe.
Tumblr media
That Valentine’s Day, you and Yoongi walk into your apartment with a new addition to your family. Yoongi insisted on holding him on the car ride home, and wouldn’t even let you hold him in the elevator ride up to the apartment. He is still cradling the small, brown puppy even after you’re inside, where it’s safe to let him run around.
“Hold right there,” you tell Yoongi after you both take your shoes off, with Yoongi struggling because he still will not let go of Holly the entire time. “Let me take a picture for Instagram.”
Yoongi holds up Holly so that he’s obscuring his face.
“No! We need to see your face!”
Yoongi sighs and lowers the little animal.
“Great, now kiss him.”
Yoongi puckers his lips and brings it closer to the curly brown fur.
“Perfect!” You snap the photo and post it to Instagram, captioning it, Father and his brand new son. Happy Valentine’s Day, babe *heart eye emoji*.“Cuuuute!” You exclaim.
“I know I am, but how’s Holly look?”
You give your fake boyfriend an exasperated look.
“I can’t believe we have a puppy now!” Squeal isn’t exactly the right word to describe how Yoongi says it, but it’s a pretty close description.
“I know right? We’re parents now.”
Yoongi plops himself on the floor and lies on his back. Holly hops around him, leaping across his legs and stomach. The feeling that you experienced in the pet store when Yoongi first met Holly returns, and you are filled with an inexplicable fondness. You get down on the floor and join them, and when you look at Yoongi, he smiles at you.
“Thank you, Y/N. I am so happy right now.”
“You’re welcome, Yoongi. I am too.”
Tumblr media
A couple of weeks later, you come home after a rough shift at work. There was a huge dance contest going on at school tonight and afterwards a lot of the spectators flocked to the nearest boba shop– which happened to be the one you worked at. The line was long, the store was crowded and loud, and it didn’t help that your manager was yelling at all of the workers to put out drinks faster. At the end of the night, you had to turn some customers down so that you could close up shop, and a few of them weren’t too happy about that.
You’re exhausted when you step through your front door, your feet are sore and your muscles tense. When you enter, you see Yoongi sprawled on the couch as always, your nostrils assaulted with a pungent odor, quite a juxtaposition to the sickenly sweet smell of the boba shop.
You let out an exasperated sigh. “How many times have I told you not to smoke inside?”
“I wasn’t smoking.” Yoongi shifts his bloodshot eyes back and forth.
“I smelled weed the second I walked in the door.” You saunter over to the screen door that leads to the balcony and pull it open to let in some fresh air.
“That’s….. a skunk got in here.” His voice is mellow in a way that confirms your suspicions.
You cross your arms and give him an incredulous look. “A skunk?”
“Yeah.”
“We live on the third floor in the middle of the city. There are no skunks here,” you scoff. “Raccoons, I would believe, but not skunks.”
Yoongi rolls his eyes.
“At least share, will you?” You drop your aching body onto the couch next to him, resting most of your weight against Yoongi.
“Since when do you smoke?” He asks.
“I don’t usually. I get a really bad case of the munchies when I do. One time I smoked at Jungkook’s place and ended up eating six of those spicy cup noodles. My intestines were not happy afterward.”
Yoongi chuckles. He then pulls a blunt out of his pocket and lights it for you. You put it up to your lips and smoke it.
“Who’s smoking in the house now?” he teases.
You shake your head. “Where’s Holly?” You ask, ignoring his silly rhetorical question. You shift so that your head is now resting on his chest.
“He’s in my room sleeping. All he does is sleep.”
“Of course, he’s a puppy. He’s still growing.” You pass Yoongi the blunt and he takes a hit before passing it back to you.
“I love him so much.”
“I know you do.”
“He’s so small.” Yoongi remarks, except it comes out more like a whine.
“I know he is.”
He notices that you’re not being your characteristically talkative self, which leads him to suspect something is wrong. “Rough shift?”
“Mhm.” You nod with your head still resting on your roommate’s chest.
He slings his arm lazily across your shoulder. “Want to talk about it?”
You take another long drag from the blunt. “Nope,” you exhale.
Just as before, your cravings set in about thirty minutes later. You haven’t eaten since before your six hour shift, and you're now starving.
“Oh my god I want pancakes!!!!” You wail, springing up from your where your head rested on Yoongi’s lap. “I want pancakes so bad.” Your stomach grumbles at the thought of the fluffy stacks of cinnamon swirl pancakes that they serve at the Pancake Shack, lathered in thick, golden maple syrup, and smothered with butter.
“Y/N, it’s 2 in the morning. Everything is closed now.” Yoongi is always one to burst your bubble.
"But I want Pancake Shack!"
"Pancake Shack is closed."
“Make me pancakes!!!!!”
“I am not making you pancakes.”
“But I want pancakes!! Like so bad. I think I might die.”
“You may be the only person who gets more high-strung when you smoke.” Yoongi doesn't budge.
You pout at him.
Finally, he resigns. “Fine, I’ll make you pancakes.”
“Thanks, Yoongi.” You hug him and rest your head on his shoulder. The two of you lock eyes and your gaze lingers for longer than it should, and for a second, your heart stops. The intensity of the moment startles you and you pull away from him. “You know what. It’s late. Never mind, you don’t have to make me pancakes.”
“Y/N, I don’t mind if you really want me to.”
You shake your head. “No, it’s okay. I should go to bed. I have class in the morning.”
“Okay, if you say so.” Yoongi raises an eyebrow. You were just insisting that he make you pancakes. What made you change your mind so suddenly?
You get up off the couch and make your way to your room.
“Goodnight, Y/N,” he calls after you.
“Goodnight, Yoongi.”
Tumblr media
Jungkook: hey jieun just broke up with me :’( can you come over?
You get the text late at night, a couple of days later. You’re already in your pajamas and getting ready for bed. But still, you don’t hesitate, because Jungkook is your best friend, and you could really use something to take your mind off of the forbidden feelings you’re starting to develop for Yoongi.
You: yeah i’ll be there in 10
Tumblr media
“Hey.” Jungkook greets you with a sad smile when he opens the door to his apartment. His hair is a mess and he’s also wearing his pajamas.
You return the greeting and enter. “How are you holding up?” You ask him.
“Honestly, a lot better than I thought I’d be. I’m not as heartbroken as I expected.”
His place is a one bedroom studio apartment, so inside is just his bed, desk, kitchen, bathroom, and video game system. It’s cozy, and the two of you have had many heartfelt talks here. You used to come here whenever you wanted peace and quiet when you still had two other roommates at your old place.
“Why did you call me over? I thought you’d be a mess.” You kick off your shoes and jump onto the bed.
Jungkook shrugs as he sinks down next to you. “You’re my best friend. I just wanted someone to talk to.”
“Well, I’m here for you. Whatever you have to say. Whatever you want to talk about.”
He smiles at you. “Thanks, Y/N. How are you and Yoongi doing?”
“We’re alright.”
“I can tell he really likes you.”
You sigh, wondering if now is a good time to break the news to your best friend. What are you really waiting for? Why keep this going? Who does it benefit? “Jungkook, I have to tell you something.”
Jungkook raises an eyebrow.
You take a deep breath. “It’s fake. My entire relationship with Yoongi is fake. We were never actually dating.”
“I don’t believe that.” He shakes his head.
But it’s the truth.
Jungkook shakes his head again. “No. I know you both really care for each other. I can tell your feelings for each other are real.”
You remain silent. You and Yoongi have definitely grown closer in the last two months, especially after the two of you adopted Holly together, and you were having some feelings toward him, but you knew Yoongi didn’t feel the same. In the beginning, he made it explicitly clear that he had absolutely no romantic feelings toward you. Just last year, you two had The Talk about not being attracted to each other.
“You guys even adopted a dog together for god’s sake. You don’t just do that with anyone.”
Still you say nothing.
“That was real right? That dog is yours?”
You nod.
Jungkook runs his fingers through his hair. “I’m not going to brag, but I knew it was fake at the beginning, especially because it lasted more than a week, which is some sort of record for you.”
“Shut up.”
“But as time went on, I could tell you were growing to like each other, genuinely.”
You shake your head, still refusing to believe it. “He’s a Pisces, though. Aries aren’t good with Pisces.”
“Stop making excuses, Y/N. I think you should talk to him. Sort this out.”
"I may have feelings for him, but I'm positive he doesn't feel the same way about me." You grab one of Jungkook’s pillows and fiddle with a loose thread on the pillow case.
Jungkook sees what you’re doing and takes the pillow away from you, setting it down on the side of the bed that you can’t reach. "If you think that way, then you should end it. It's not fair for the both of you.”
You sigh deeply, knowing he’s right. “I thought we were here to talk about you.”
“We were. But I feel much better now, having my best friend with me.”
You give him a half hearted smile.
“I love you, Y/N.”
“I love you, too, Jungkook.”
He holds out his arms. “Come here.”
You crawl forward and give him a firm hug.
“Can I, like, at least practice in front of you? Because I have absolutely no idea how to approach this.”
“Of course. Anything you need, I'm here for you.”
You squeeze him a bit tighter. "Thank you, Jungkook."
Tumblr media
The next night, you pace back and forth in your room, trying to figure out how you're going to bring it up to Yoongi. He's right on the other side of the door, on the couch, watching TV and petting Holly, as usual, and can probably hear you burning a hole in the carpet. You take a deep breath. It’s time. But what if he’s not watching TV anymore? What if he’s studying or doing homework? You shuffle over to your door, slowly cracking it open and peeking your head out.
He’s still exactly where he was when you got home earlier. Doesn’t he have things to do? Why is he always watching TV? You then realize that you just want an excuse for him to be too busy to talk, so you can avoid this conversation and postpone it for another time. Another time when you’re more prepared, when you’re older, and therefore wiser. But for some reason all the signs (really, just Jungkook) are telling you to do it now, providing you with the perfect opportunity, the perfect setup for you to break up with your fake boyfriend. Nothing like the present, right? You just gotta do it. Rip it off like a bandaid.
Apprehensively, you tiptoe out of your room. "Hey, Yoongi, I need to talk to you."
He turns his head toward you. “What’s up? What’s wrong?” His brows furrow when he notices your unease.
You walk over to the couch and sit down next to him. "Nothing’s really wrong, per se. But we do need to end this fake relationship."
“Well, it’s about time.” He sighs and picks up Holly from his lap and places him onto the floor. “We’ve been going at this for what? Almost two months?”
Your heart drops at his words, feeling like it's shattered into a million pieces. You know he didn’t feel the same way about you, but hearing him confirm it hurts a lot worse than you imagined. So, it really was all just pretend to him? You had been so stupid to let yourself fall for him, and now you have to deal with the consequences.
“I– Wow– has it really been that long?” You force a chuckle, trying your best to hide your disappointment.
“Yeah. It’s about time we start dating for real, right?”
“W– what?” You stutter, completely caught off guard. Out of all the scenarios you thought of, this was not one of them.
“Y/N, don’t tell me you don’t think there’s something between us.”
“I– I do. I just didn’t think you did.”
“Of course I did! Are you really that dense? I wouldn’t have volunteered to make you pancakes at two in the fucking morning if I didn’t.”
You breathe out a sigh of relief. “Thank you. You just saved me from a really difficult talk.”
“Were you going to break up with me?”
You nod.
“Did you plan out everything your were going to say? Rehearse it in front of the mirror and everything?”
“No.” You cross your arms in defiance. “I rehearsed it in front of Jungkook.”
Yoongi chuckles and it makes your heart warm. “You got Jungkook to help you?”
“Yeah. Don’t make fun of me.” You pout. “I’m not good at this type of thing.”
“You’ve broken up with plenty of guys before, though.”
“But none that I’ve cared about as much as you.”
Yoongi takes both your hands in his. "Don't worry. You don’t have to."
You feel as if a tremendous weight has been lifted off your chest. "So what now? What's different?"
Yoongi uses his hand to brush aside a stray chunk of hair that had fallen from your ponytail, and then delicately caresses your cheek. "Well, this, for one." He leans in and places a firm kiss on your lips. Yoongi had given you soft kisses on your cheeks and nose when the two of you were just pretending, and for a long time you wondered what it would be like to kiss him for real. Now you know, and it's so much better than you ever imagined.
You know how in those cliche movies, when a couple shares their first kiss, fireworks explode in the background and everyone cheers? That's what it feels like. It feels like every bad date, every disappointing hookup has led to you finding Yoongi. It's like the spring finally arriving and the clouds getting clear after a long, cold winter. Jungkook's right. Who cares if you're an Aries and he's a Pisces? The stars aligned in just the right place for you to find each other.
"And this," Yoongi breathes, softly brushing his hand against your breast and running it along your body until it reaches your thigh, all while still kissing you. "And this."
You squeal as Yoongi's hand moves under your legs and he scoops you up as he stands. You wrap your arms tightly around him, giggling and burying your face in the crook of his neck while he carries you bridal-style to his room.
Holly follows closely by his feet, wanting to follow his parents and see what they're up to. Once Yoongi gets to the threshold of his room, he gently shoos the little puppy away with his foot. "Not now, Holly. It's special mommy and daddy time." He then enters the room, letting the door close behind him.
Tumblr media
Epilogue:
“I can’t believe we adopted a dog together. That’s so incredibly stupid. What if we break up?” You slip on your boots and put a harness around Holly, getting ready to take him out for your daily walk.
Yoongi slings on his jacket and shakes his head.  “Y/N. We’re literally getting married next week. I don’t think we’re breaking up any time soon.”
“But you admit that it’s a possibility!”
“I never said that.”
You peek outside the window to see that it’s still drizzling a little bit and grab Holly’s raincoat off the coat rack and put it on him. “There we go, baby.” You then attach Holly’s leash to his harness as Yoongi grabs an umbrella. “Damn, I can’t believe I still like you. I can’t believe you still like me!”
“Hey! How many times do I have to tell you! I have feelings!”
“Yeah, horny.”
“You’re insufferable.”
You step forward to fix the collar of Yoongi’s raincoat. “No, I’m not.”
“You’re right. You’re very right. I love you very much and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.” He leans in to kiss you on the nose.
You react by scrunching up your face. “Damn, that’s a long time.”
“You’re not having second thoughts, are you? Do you want to call off the wedding?”
“Of course not! We’ve been planning this for over a year! I definitely still want to marry you!”
“Okay, but I think I want to marry you more.”
“Will you stop that?”
“Stop what? Wanting to marry you? Uhhh… Not possible.”
You get on your tiptoes so that you could kiss him, and while you’re kissing him, Holly starts barking and pawing at your boots. “Okay! Okay, Holly! We’ll take you on your walk now!”
You give Yoongi one last kiss on the lips before the three of you set out into the rain.
Tumblr media
A/N: Yoongi and reader’s dynamic is pretty much how one of my old housemates and I used to treat each other (except we never dated, however, we did adopt a fish together). Also this story in no way reflects my opinions on astrology. It’s all light-hearted I promise.

High School (and Middle School) Never Ends
For years I have occasionally thought back to the videos that made my youth. Salad Fingers, Cat with Hands. Spoilsbury Toast Boy. The first two were amusing, if off-putting at times. Fond memories of my youth. But Spoilsbury Toast Boy is a hectic flashback mirage of deeply unsettling imagery. I like to think of myself as someone who isn’t easily scared. I found Salad Fingers amusing. Cat with Hands was mildly creepy at best. After one viewing I vowed to never watch Spoilsbury Toast Boy again.
Every time I remember Spoilsbury Toast Boy, I resolve myself to rewatch it. To prove to myself that it’s not as intensely unnerving as I remember. Every time, I forget. Like my mind is protecting me from what I have mostly forgotten. 
But today that will change. Today I will rewatch Spoilsbury Toast Boy for the first time in about a decade.
But first. Salad Fingers! I figured it was a good starting place on the creepy scale, as I can understand why some people would find it unnerving. And I’ve heard there’s been some new content since I was a kid! So let’s go!
Episode 1: Was this a youtube thing originally? That doesn’t seem right. And 11 episodes??? I feel like there were maybe 5 last time I looked? Granted, that was almost a decade ago. I’m making myself feel old. But now! The first episode!
“The feeling of rust against my salad fingers is almost orgasmic.” Iconic. THE quote that dominated my early teen years.
The rusty kettle thing feels like it’s there to just make him look like a creep, but ALSO feels like some weird foreshadowing or something. It’s been so long. idk.
Episode 2: The introduction of the finger friends! The real start, in a first watch, to indicate that Salad Fingers is maybe a bit fucked up. And the abrupt language change is interesting. This is all familiar so far.
“I like it when the red water comes out...” Okay, this is when it should probably start being unsettling? A humanoid figure is presumably burned alive while the non humanoid is getting off on impaling his finger. But. I’m not upset? This feels normal for the times? What were the early 2000′s.
Real world references to bring the weirdness home! Very good! And a finger friend now seemingly in the flesh! The episode ends with a return to the oven and the ‘fish’ about done. Still all things I remember
Episode 3: There is so much, in only the first few minutes of this video. Oh boy. Is it a product of the times, or ahead of them? Only time will tell. I don’t even have the energy to talk about ‘milk from the teat’ of Salad Fingers being produced via masochistic acts and just... I’m too tired. This is a quarantine adjacent nostalgia tour blog.
I took a break and am now restarting this the next day. The flute playing is, interesting? As is the more humanoid but clearly mutated figure being so intent on killing Salad Fingers.
Episode 4: A person is watching him so he just... goes home. I feel that.
This child loves him. Why???
A bug! Little sister.
I love the post apocalyptic implications of his house having a number on the door. And a trap! A grubby tap trap!
There is so much phallic imagery happening.
And he just... bamfs out! The poor child is sad. Riding taps into the sunset...
Episode 5: The broken phone and forgetting Hubert’s name is interesting. All still somewhat familiar. I’m pretty sure I’ve see this episode before.
Dressed as a bride and distressed. Not just a picnic, a wedding. Guests imminent!
One of the finger friends in the window does NOT like him having a new playmate!
THE BIRD. THE BIRD STOLE THE SPOON! OH NO!
The girl talking is definitely significant. Interesting
Episode 6: Someone is in the house, and the finger friends are back! He remembers Hubert’s name this time. Bye bye Jeremy!
Wash those bad thoughts away. The toilet (somehow still able to flush) knows things.
He’s eating... himself? Another Salad Fingers? Who knows. The toilet knows.
Episode 7: Floor sugar.
I can never tell if this is one of those things where there’s all some deeper meaning, or if it’s just meant to be weird and senseless. Is Kenneth actually his brother? Was there a great war? Idk, I’m drunk.
The tree “barely shuffled an inch” a way of keeping sane? Making sure all is in its place? I’m reading too much into this.
In a dress once more. I want this to be a gender thing, but I don’t think it is.
Episode 8: Filling a clearly broken radio with... metal pellets? Buckshot? And Things are happening.
Hiding in the safety cupboard with a ‘special hair” dragged across the eye. Interesting. Multiple special hairs.
By the end of this I fully expect The Revenge of Hubert Cumberdale.
Oh someone wants their hair back! A ghost??
Goodbye special hairs. The safety cupboard is the crying cupboard now.
Episode 9: The animation style seems different here. I’m not sure I saw the last episode, but I’m almost positive I haven’t seen this one.
Oh shit. Baby Yvonne.
Wtf is up with his salad fingers!!!
Use your “baby” to clean the windows and then eat a sandwich. At first I thought he didn’t want to give up Yvonne, but now I think he just realized it wasn’t a baby and came up with another reason he must have gone there?
Episode 10: WAY nicer animation immediately. This was obviously done years after the original ones.
Milford is still there and it’s Hubert’s birthday! Oh shit!
A shiny new monolith thing, here to bring salvation and the end of Salad Fingers’ world?
Oh the detail on that is HORRIFYING. I miss the low quality now.
Hubert Jason!
Well. Dr. Papanak is terrifying.
That took an unexpected turn. Poor horse.
And... more horses. Okay. Also, does Salad Fingers look older suddenly? Sounds older too.
More Salad Fingers!! Oh poor boy, he’s seeing what he would have (should have?) become. He’s all alone.
The monolith is moving!
...okay then.
Episode 11: The last episode! How will it end?
Fighting with his finger friends, so sad.
I REALLY don’t like the detail on the fingers now. Better animation is not always a good thing. Does help the creepy factor though.
New Hubert is awful and glass mother is entirely unsurprising. Let’s see where it leads!
Very Gollum/Smeagol. Interesting.
Yeah, saw that coming. Bye, Hubert!
Through the puddle, rescue Hubert! And... do that, I guess. Will Hubert seek revenge yet?
Huh. So that’s all of Salad Fingers. I enjoyed it, but I understand nothing
Spoilsbury Toastboy Time!
Episode The Title One: Oh shit it’s by the same guy! That makes sense.
Idk if I’ve ever seen this one. I watched the one titled episode 1 first.
Oh wait yes, I think I have seen this! The beetle goes into his ear and that’s why he sees beetles!
Oh. Well. Things can’t be wrong if you’re dead, I guess!
Episode 1: I technically watched this one first, so that’s important.
Already very intense. Kill grandma!
Speckled huckleberry leaves. That’s the thing that made Salad Fingers sick, I think!
Grandma burning in the fire. I remember that!
For some reason I remembered the beetles as crickets? I have a very clear memory of this.
Episode 2: Quite the young gentleman. And then straight to work! Sounds about right.
Corporate slavery seeming all normal, and back to grandma! I feel like she was a big part of why this terrified me as a teen, so let’s see.
Oh the beetles are fucking. I think one fucks grandma at some point? Yup, there it is! They’re raping grandma. Cool.
This just seems... senselessly cruel? Like, not even entertainingly grimdark. Why did this used to scare me. I’ve finished it and I’m just annoyed that I wasted my time.
Bonus: Cat With Hands!
Since I mentioned it in the intro, I figured I’d watch this one again too. I remember finding it mildly creepy. More so than Salad Fingers, but way less than Spoilsbury Toast Boy.
The guy who hasn’t spoken is the cat, right? I remember this. He just needs a tongue.
Wow this animation is BAD. But that almost makes it better? It works, for the story.
Yup, just as I remembered. I think this one is probably only scary the first time, when you don’t know what to expect.
