#'i honestly don't care about what you said i just want an excuse to yell at you'

[abluehappyface]

She's always the first to say "It's not what you say, but how you say it" only to immediately chew us out over something that could've been a simple conversation

[writersblockiskillingme]

Hook with the daughter of Ariel or something like that. With them being in a secret little relationship but he’s always trying to come up to her and flirt with her. Maybe Uliana finds out and freaks out the rest is up to you

Secret | James Hook

Pairing: James Hook x fem!reader (Ariel's!sister!reader)

Summary: Once Uliana figures out your secret, everything comes crushing down.

Warning/s: angst, but with a happy ending, fluff, keeping secrets, fight, short fic, possible grammar and/or spelling mistakes

Author's note: It's here, hope you enjoy!! Also, I made the reader Ariel's sister because in my head, it fits the timeline.

Honestly, nobody had any idea how it happened. You were Ariel's sister. He was a pirate. How in the world did you manage to end up together?!

Well... truth to be told... it happened so suddenly, just like when the storm in the middle of the sea happens. Nobody really expects it, but it arrives it crashes you with its whole might. Leaving you breathless.

It was a normal, sunny day when you met him. You were walking down the corridor, just trying to get to Merlin's class. Clutching your book in your hands, you found yourself outside as you came face to face with Hook. In the middle of the courtyard. All alone. His back was turned to you, and with that finding, you felt the sigh of relief leave your body pass your lips. It doesn't matter, you thought to yourself. So you decided to keep walking. You did not want to be late to class.

But it seems like the luck wasn't on your side that day. He turned around and walked up to you as he yelled out.

"Ahoy there, mermaid!" He smirked as your eyes met. "Skipping class again, I see. What's your excuse this time? Lost your voice singing to the fishes?"

James Hook, now leaning against a stone pillar, hook on his right hand and a mischievous glint in his eyes as his eyes scanned you.

"Hook, I unline you, am actually trying to now get there in time." You rolled your eyes at his teasing but decided that maybe it was time for you to finally tease him back a bit. "But don't worry, I've got a treasure map to Merlin's class. Care to actually join me?"

You saw a little tint of blush forming on his face, but you must have imagined it. And just as you thought that this would be the end of your conversation, he did something that left you stunned.

"Merlin's class? That's the real curse of Neverland. But I'd follow you anywhere, little mermaid." He gave you a wink, smirking.

You found yourself blushing, but no... it... it can't be. Luckily, you quickly regained your composure and continued your, playful, rivalry banter.

"You know, pirate, I've heard rumors about your hook. Is it true you lost it in a duel with a giant squid?" You leaned over closer to him.

"Aye, but it wasn't just any squid—it was the one that stole my heart." He smirked as he leaned down, closer to your face. "But now, here I am, a one-handed pirate with a penchant for trouble and a weakness for mermaid smiles."

You found yourself laughing at his flirting. You couldn't help it, it was just so... so endearing.

"Well, Captain, I've got a secret too." You said, with a little smirk planted on your face. "I've hidden my voice in a shell. Only the right kiss can unlock it. Interested?"

And so you did that for a while until you two were actually late for Merlin's class. You walked in, and Hook did not. But there was no way that you would admit to anyone, even your friends, why you walked into the class flushed, cheeks pink, with a stupid smile on your face.

You do, of course, realize that this was a bit abnormal. He was a pirate and part of Uliana's crew. You were a mermaid princess, daughter of the Triton himself. It was not normal, but as the days passed and what was a true rivalry, banter turned into just pure flirting, you found yourself not really caring.

As weeks passed and the flirting continued, somehow, you found yourself having a pirate boyfriend. After all of that, Hook and you started dating. Somehow.

And it was better than you ever expected it to be. You sometimes felt like, outside of Uliana's crew, you were the only one that he was nice to. It was... perplexing. But you loved it.

However, you both agreed that you should keep your relationship a secret for a while for both of your sakes. You weren't dumb. You both knew how your friends would react if you told them that you were dating. So that's how it all started. Secret stolen glances when nobody was looking, passing notes in class, stolen kisses when you were all alone, and, of course, flirty teasing banter.

That's how you found yourself, pressed against a tree in the school's courtyard, Hook with his hand by your head, his hook under your chin, trapping you.

"You're a siren in a landlocked school." He spoke, looking into your eyes. "Your voice could raise sunken ships, and your smile—well, that's my undoing."

"Tell me, Hook, do you ever dream of flying?" You asked as you started to trace your finger along his hook. "Not in a ship, but with wings made of stardust?"

He looked at you, captivated.

"Every night, my dear. And in my dreams, you're the compass guiding me through constellations." He leaned down towards you, your lips almost meating until something happened. Something that would change this forever.

"Hook!!" The terrifyingly hight and mighty voice rang out along the school courtyard.

You both turned around and froze as you came face to face with Uliana, Hades, Maleficent and a few more people that joined the courtyard when they heard yelling.

"But reality has a way of clipping my wings." Hook sighed as he moved away from you slowly, your heart speading up and breaking at the same time.

"Are you out of your mind?!" Uliana screamed. "What are you doing with a mermaid?!"

That's when you noticed something. Yes, Hook moved away from you, but his hand with his hook that was under your chin was now placed on your waist, still holding you close to him.

"Calm down, Uliana." Hook spoke up, looking at him.

"Calm down?!" Uliana yelled, absolutely fuming. "Are you seriously telling me to calm down right now?!"

"Yes." Hook said, "Yes, I am."

"Don't play games with me, Hook." She threatened before throwing a glance your way, smirking as she plotted against you. "If you don't stop doing whatever you're doing with this one, you will no longer be a part of my crew."

A moment of science was heard around the courtyard, and you know that it was over. He couldn't give up on his crew, and you most certainly did not want him to, so that means that your relationship has reached its inevitable end. Your heart was breaking as you looked on the ground, slowly moving away from Hook.

"You won't do that." He spoke up, his voice strong, ringing out. "We won't end our relationship." He turned to you and brought you closer to him once again, smiling at you before turning to Uliana with a determined look.

"You know that you need me whether you liked it or not. So, no, you won't throw me away from the rest of the crew. And even if you do, it doesn't matter. I still have her, and that is something that nothing will be able to change." He spoke as her face was formed into pure shock.

"So good day." He sarcastically bowed before he ruined around with you and walked away.

"Don't worry, she'll come around." You looked at him. "Maybe..."

"I honestly don't really care." He shrugged, his eyes ringing with truth. "I have you now, little mermaid, that's all I need and so much more, really."

[ace-and-the-rpg-horrors]

i feel like some of the fandom is a bit harsh on Monty... like, trauma is definitely not an excuse, but it does give pretty much all of his actions an understandable explanation?

like... Monty was actively being abused by Esther in practically any scene they were together. he said something she didn't like, and she yelled and grabbed him threateningly. both of the times she transformed him, from crow to human and then back again, she literally stabbed and ripped him up in a really gory way.

i sure wonder why an evil witch's familiar who's constantly treated like that would follow her orders even if he disagreed with them!!

and considering that Esther is potentially one of the only humans Monty came into contact with before meeting the others, and she's like that - he turned out alright, didn't he? he's petty, a bit rude sometimes, and takes things personally, but generally, he's a shockingly decent person.

yes, he didn't take it well when Edwin rejected him. but, as others have pointed out - how was Monty genuinely meant to know any better? he had lived his whole life as a crow in a cage too small for him, where the only person he knew was his extremely nasty and cruel owner. and then, all of a sudden, he's forced into a new body and has humanity thrust upon him against his will. he explicitly expressed this discomfort himself when Esther degraded him for getting "too emotional" for her liking.

"i never asked to be human. with all these... feelings."

even after the bitterness of the rejection, Monty never actually wanted to hurt the Dead Boy Detectives. turns out, he didn't even know that Esther's plan intended to end them completely, and was so horrified upon finding out that he made an attempt to lead them to safety, which was, by the way, putting himself at massive risk. Esther already punished him likely under the assumption that he just didn't put enough effort into manipulating them - can you imagine what she'd have done to him if she knew about his last-minute attempt to actually save them?

of course, i don't think Edwin was wrong for not forgiving Monty. he deserved that. Monty still helped in the scheme that aimed to destroy him. he also fully deserved to reject Monty if he wanted to (conversely, i do also see people say that Edwin "could have handled it better," but honestly, i don't know if it's just me not being neurotypical or something, but i genuinely do not see how Edwin could have been nicer about it? he was straightforward and polite, then afterwards, still tried to be Monty's friend until the betrayal.)

however, Monty was still very much a victim himself, and any harm he did was not from his own will, instead motivated by fear of the terrifying witch who had him fully reliant upon her, often through both verbal and physical force. Esther never hesitated to hurt him. he was painfully aware of that. she didn't care about him beyond how useful he could be. and when he failed at that, her reaction was violent.

but he didn't have anyone else.

could you do frido + "you promised you would protect me"

You promised

Pairing: frido x reader

A/n: this is going to be a two part cause I'm not cut for one long fics maybe in the future anyway get comfy cause this fic is about to be a something, love y'all and hope you enjoyed reading this and feel free to send in suggestions on what you'll like to see 🫶🏾

Warning: toxic relationship, vulgar language, angsty, naive reader and a reminder that everything is fictional aka made up so yeah

The first few months of your relationship with frido was amazing she was always there and attentive. to your needs and being the best partner she could be for you.

You also doing the same trying to be a good and caring girlfriend to her building a solid relationship.

It was all amazing at first the being inlove effects that's how your friends called it.

Everything started out with when frido would make empty promises to you and would never fili them and would make you random excuses.

You knew that her job as a footballer had a lots of requirements like travel games,away games,late practices or anything in general but you where honestly getting tried of her white lies that were turning into an unfaithful truth so you decived yourself into believing them.

You knew it was wrong and you should let her know about her actions but you loved her too much to try and ruin what you both have going on so you let yourself believe her. Not knowing things would take a trun for the worst.

You both went from having date night every three weeks to now I don't have time or let's reschedule which never happens. It was always lies ontop of lies, unfiled prom. But you always found yourself supporting her no matter the circumstances.

Your last straw was today frido was supposed to take you out for dinner at your favorite restaurant.

You had already gotten ready and arrived at the restaurant waiting on frido who stil hasn't arrived. You decided to give her the benefit of doubt thinking that she was stuck in traffic but one hour turned into three and you've had enough and decided to leave the restaurant.

Unexpectedly it started raining as if your day couldn't get get any worse.

you felt an unknown presence behind and decided to pick up your pace but it was no use cause you definitely knew that you were being followed.

You managed to hurry up your speed and get your phone out and dial frido number excepting her to answer but it kept going on too voice mail.

Feeling scared and vulnerable you ran as fast as you could've getting into the first taxi that you saw after managing to escape that scary situation.

Finally arriving to your apartment you saw frido laying down on the couch staring at the tv doing absolutely nothing. you felt angry and heartbroken cause the woman you loved. just kept breaking your heart over and over again and you stil stayed making a fool of yourself.

"What the fuck frido is this what you've been doing while I waited for you at a restaurant for four fucking hours while you lay there?". You asked her raising your voice a bit.

"Baby what are you talking about?".

"Oh please don't start with you baby bullshit you can't seem to tell me that you forgot nine months anniversary and that you promised to take me out but you fuck up as always with your empty promises". You said feeling tears dripping down your face.

"I didn't know that it was toda-".

"Oh please that your excuse for everything the one time that I needed you you failed me but I'm always there for you but you never".

"Baby please I promise to change tell me what you want me to do and I promise to do it abd change my ways".

"No frido there's no more promise I'm done this we're fucking over so please get out". You told her pointing out at the door.

"Please baby I'll change it never going to happen again". She said

"Oh no you had plenty of opportunities to change but never did so get out". You fully yelled at her.

Sliding down the door as you wachted frido leaving the place you both shared. You felt hurt and betrayed how could she have done this to you and the moment you called her out on it she talking.

about trying to change knowing it was to late for your love.

hi bon,

can you do Hades, Poseidon, Thor and Herac

husband and s/o just finish with gathering, when s/o been drag by Aphrodite

husband been drag by Zeus/Loki to Aphrodite new establishment

as husband enter one things they saw all the server wearing a cute sexy bunny outfit which husband don't care

then husband saw s/o been drag out by aphrodite while wearing those while said s/o trying to hide everything which failed miserably

s/o saw husband and have turn into mortified as their husband saw them in said outfit. husband outrage with aphrodite while zeus/loki used those as blackmailed.

in private husband said that s/o look cute in those outfit

A/N: This was an interesting request. Honestly, I can see all of this happening to them each, as I can see Aphrodite getting bored and yoinking their S/O just for something fun to happen. She’s definitely a teaser.

💀 Well this was quite odd, Zeus never really visited him down in Helheim, and while Hades protested at the start, Zeus didn’t take anything

💀 He was dragging him to Aphrodite’s newest opening ‘restaurant’ in Valhalla

💀 Hades was very loyal to his S/O, so going there felt like betraying their trust, and he did not like that

💀 But, Aphrodite had taken his S/O away earlier that day, and he couldn’t let them see them there possibly, but Zeus’ hold was surprisingly good

“ Now, older brother. You are to stay here, I will get something to drink. “

💀 He watched confused as his brother left him at the table, and as he looked at the nymphs walking around in very revealing outfits, he looked at the ground like Poseidon always did

“ Oh come on, Aphrodite! I am not going out there wearing this damn thing! “

💀 Your voice? Why were you here? And what was Aphrodite making you wear?

💀 Looking up from the marble floors, he saw a familiar big chested woman holding you in place, and you… oh my Helheim you were wearing a bunny outfit

💀 You tried hiding certain parts of your body from the other Gods in the facility, and Hades was one of the first people you had seen

“ Aphrodite. They’re changing and going home. Now. “

💀 Aphrodite smiled and giggled before allowing your embarrassed form to go back to change

💀 He cannot lie though, seeing you in that? Woo

“ No. “

🔱 He did not want to go in the slightest, but with how Zeus kept trying to blast him for being a buzzkill, he couldn’t take his whining anymore

🔱 Poseidon stood up and followed his younger brother as he walked through the fairly decent looking facility that Aphrodite had put together

“ Go ahead and sit. I’m gonna go get something at the bar, Hera can’t yell at me here! “

🔱 He sighed and sat down, opening the book he had grabbed from his study before leaving his and your palace

🔱 While reading, he could hear Zeus start speaking, or rather, flirting with another woman until the familiar slap sound echoed, making Poseidon smile for a second

🔱 But while that got him to react a bit, hearing you yelling at Aphrodite made him look up

“ I am not going out there in this, Aphrodite! Kiss your Christmas present goodbye! “ “ Oh come on, dearie~ I believe that someone out there will really like this~ “

🔱 Excuse me?

🔱 He stood up, summoned his trident and walked away, his book being sent back home to his desk as he strolled to the back of the building

“ I swear to you, Aphrodite! I will get Poseidon to end every connection with you if you make me walk out there with all of those lustful assholes! “

🔱 Poseidon saw you dressed in a bunny outfit and glared at Aphrodite, not making eye contact, but surely scaring her to the core

“ How about you change now? “ “ Thank the Gods. “

🔱 He’d rather you thank him but, it’ll do for now. And even he cannot deny, you looked fairly nice in the outfit…

🌩️ Loki does not give in easily, and Thor knew that, he grew up with the God

🌩️ He walked behind Loki as he rambled about how nice the place appeared, and he only answered questions with a quick glance

🌩️ He had sat with Loki as he ate moussaka while Thor only looked out the window at the passing birds and people

🌩️ The thing that caught him out of his appearing trance was Loki whistling and his comment

“ Isn’t that your S/O? Oh, Y/N! “

🌩️ Thor looked up and he froze like ice when he had seen you, you were wearing a beautifully wove bunny outfit and because of how revealing it was, you were trying to hide certain body parts

🌩️ His cheeks glowed slightly red as he told you to go with him to change, glaring slightly at Aphrodite as you walked past her, she only giggled as Thor wrapped his cloak around you, hiding your form from certain Gods

🌩️ Once you changed, he looked at you and patted your head, saying;

“ While I did not approve of Aphrodite putting you in that outfit without your consent, I will have you admit, you looked nice in it. “

🌩️ You laughed nervously as he wrapped his arms around your waist, sitting you on his lap as he laid his nose in your neck

“ And I will have to teach you what happens when you look that nice for others~ “

💪 His father wanted him to get out of the palace, to get out and about, have some fun!

💪 Ares and Hermes had decided to tag along, since he had nothing going on, and Zeus was happy to have both of his sons around, after all, now he can say he got drunk and hit on women for the environment

💪 A ‘guy’s night out’ as he said

💪 Heracles sat down and watched the other people walk around in outfits that were described by others, including his brothers, as ‘far to revealing’

💪 But, of course, their father liked it, how gross… damn old pervert

💪 He looked at Hermes as he called his name, and Ares’ face was frozen looking behind the demi-god

“ I believe you have a surprise behind you, it appears to me that- “ “ Y/N’s wearing a bunny outfit! “

💪 Ares’ interruption made Hermes glare at him and made Heracles snap his head behind him in shock

💪 It was true, you were wearing the ears, tail, outfit and all, and it made him get so flustered

“ Oh Heracles! I didn’t see you there, do tell, does Y/N look good or not? “ “ They- um… they look good… “

💪 Aphrodite chuckled and pat your head, saying you could change

💪 Well, this was going to be an interesting night, your husband was now very flustered, and he couldn’t stop imagining you in the outfit

💪 Help this poor boy!

ellie as spiderwoman hcs ✧.* au

a/n- honestly was just an excuse for me to watch spiderman again and i took it, kind of switch between would’ve and did idk babes im just having fun atp

she'd have lost her mom at a young age and been placed with joel, who she never gets along with at first, thinking he's just a bil ol meanie who wanted an extra check every month.

that was until he showed he cared, not through hugs and affection in the traditional sense, but making sure she did her homework, picking her up everyday, getting her out of her room, checking on her when she'd been too quiet. "you okay, kiddo?" and "i heard talking helps." he'd say as he leaned on the door frame. eventually, she couldn't help but love him.

absolutely a nerd. though, when she got teased, she didn't exactly back down as expected which landed her in the detention a few times and some talking-to's. but she won and defended herself. no one could be mad at her for that. still, she was smart. she was going to be an astronaut after all. though that dream died in middle school.

high school came and she tried to straighten up. no more fighting bullies, even if they deserved it. she was better than that. she would get an internship, the internship that would line everything up, get her a scholarship so she could study aerospace engineering, get rich and get joel out of the old house on a patch of land with however many sheep he wanted. the same internship that got her bitten by a radioactive spider and shooting webs out her wrists.

words could not describe how much she worried joel when she woke up the day after, crushing her alarm clock, breaking the sink, the shower rack, everything. she skipped that day, hanging out on the rooftop of the house while joel was away stuck between having a panic attack from the sensory overload and telling someone, anyone. she decided on testing them out which earned her quite a few bruises joel luckily chalked up to another fight. "we gotta talk about this fighting thing sometime." she'd roll her eyes, saying something snarky before limping up the stairs. "say what you want but i win," "i heard that!"

also sidebar: ellie as a new yorker...whew. honestly ellie as anything- anyway.

hours or research ensue on cross-species genetics, spiderbites, different types of spiders, everything that made her feel disgusting. she slammed her laptop closed, crushing the poor thing.

it felt like there were a million things to do with her newfound powers but the only two on her mind was impress dina and swing from the rooftops. c’mon, she was 16 with the powers of a freaking spider. who said saving people would the first thing on her mind? she felt powerful, even weirder than she already felt but still powerful.

it was terrible, watching joel get more and more disappointed in her as she got distracted. “i’m a good kid! i just got distracted, gimmie a break.” “i have given you plenty. more than i should’ve. and that’s on me. that's my mistake to make you think that coming home late and fighting and blowing me off is okay.”

“i can't help how i turned out! don't blame me for being a shitty dad.” she yelled before slamming the door and stalking off into who knows where. she didn't even mean it, she was just stressed, she never meant any of it. hours later, she’d wish those words never came out her mouth.

she'd hoped she was having some cruel nightmare when she saw joel laid out on the pavement. "some help me! c-call an ambulance. don't just fucking stand there-" her voice was raw as she screamed out. "c'mon, don't die on me. y-you can't. i'm sorry? is that what you wanna hear? i'm sorry."

she hated the looks of pity, everyone's soft voices. people who never once talked to her suddenly caring. it was all fake. they didn't know her and they sure and hell didn't know joel.

she became another person for a while. quieter, more closed off. sometimes snappy. laser focused on finding the low-life took joel from her. that's when she started wearing the mask. the basic concept of it anyway and it caught on with the people, more than she imagined. ellie scoffed at the name spider-woman at first, thinking it was ridiculous. she wasn't some circus performer, she was just trying to find the killer.

dina as her mj, reaching out to her after joel’s death, inviting her over for dinner, talking to her in class, all of it. it wasn’t the same disingenuous pity she hated, she could feel she cared. so she allowed her feelings to fester. being with her actually helped. it was one more thing to balance with school and the internship and her mission, but it was more person in her life. she needed that.

one day ellie went running towards the trouble. not because joel's killer was there or cause of some adrenaline rush, but because she needed to do something. to not be helpless for once. she wasn't helpless. she hadn't felt completely in control of her body as she webbed a whole bridge back together and pulled cars back onto the surface, but in the end it was a like a high. it still ached to see kids running to their parents and everyone running to their families, but they were all safe. she did that. and that felt better than getting revenge and letting it suck the life out of her. so she'd wear the spandex and the mask and go by the stupid name. only cause it meant something now.

thank you for reading!

[ladyloveandjustice]

So the reason I was rewatching ATLA in the thros of my sickness was because I watched Big Joel's breakdown of the live action series and areas where it failed and didn't make sense and it made me want to rewatch the cartoon again.

I went ahead and watched the Big Joel video because I figured I wasn't going to watch the rest of the live action series at this point--(it's fun to yell at it with friends but also it's probably better to take those opportunities to watch something we actually like. 3 episodes is enough of a chance, and the only scene I liked out of that was the stupid little fight where Aang threw plates at Zuko)....and man, now I'm definitely not going to watch the series.

There really did just drain away Katara's entire personality and her agency. I honestly don't understand why adaptations are so afraid of letting her be the angry, stubborn, opinionated person she is in the show. I mean I know why, sexism. It's like writers cannot fathom a girl being nurturing and kind while also having a hot temper and being passionate and outspoken. She's not a hard character to get! But they cannot hold those two concepts in their brain at the same time! It's really sad!

But there are two points that really get me

--they...they seriously have Aang agree with Paaku's sexism towards Katara. When she tells him about it he's like "well maybe you shouldn't fight" It's apparently there for in plot reasons like blabla the spirit just told him the avatar should work alone and he's scared his friends will get hurt but I don't care. no. I don't want to see Aang being a tool like that. I don''t think in the original series there's actually any situation where he'd diminish her ability to fight or side with the systemic oppression of women, and there definitely isn't any situation where Katara would silently take it lying down. She'd have kicked Aangs ass (verbally) (perhaps accidentally physically considering what her waterbending does when she's angry) and honestly, I think her trust towards him would have broken so badly it would have been really hard to repair. But that didn't happen, because like Joel said, Aang isn't a dweeb and he respects Katara, and Katara is his equal who wouldn't take that shit.

--They have Iroh excuse his actions at Ba Sing Se (to a guy who's brother was murdered in the battle) with "it was war, we were soldiers". This is played straight, like Iroh is in the right, not as a character flaw to be explored- we're supposed to think Iroh is right to say that. Like he wasn't the GENERAL of the army trying to invade and colonize a city? It wasn't war, it was violent imperialism and people defending their home. How the hell do you misunderstand that. The original show never had Iroh make excuses. The original show wasn't afraid to demonstrate Iroh was a pretty monstrous person when he was leading the invasion- his casual joke about burning Ba Sing Se to the ground in that flashback is so jarring coming from Iroh, supposed to make us see how even he was unbelievably cruel at one point, even he was part of the system of imperialism, but it took his son's death for him to change. And he did change, he started questioning and working against the system he once upheld, and dedicate himself to taking care of Zuko.

But he was a war criminal, and he knows that! I think that's in part why he wanted Zuko to take the throne, he knows someone who did what he did shouldn't be in charge. I think the Iroh we know in the show would have understood if someone who's family member died in that battle was angry at him for starting it. I think he's equally angry at himself, holds himself responsible for his son's death in a battle he commanded and could have refused to fight, and that his son's death is what made him realize what he was inflicting on others.

It's such a stupid decision and shows the writer doesn't have a single thought in their head about imperialism or Iroh's character, that they don't even understand it. incredible.

So yeah, those things alone are enough to not make me want to watch this show. The thing with Iroh shows a disdain for the core themes of the show, and Katara and Aang being stripped of what made them good characters, but even just active characters....nah not for me. I will continue watching reaction videos and breakdowns though, love that stuff.

XVII.

OMNISCIENT Tiana was at home preparing for Malakai's trial, as he violated the restraining order and is now facing a domestic assault accusation. As she was getting ready, she heard her door knock and saw Bianca enter her room.

"Hey T, how are you feeling?" She asked.

Tiana sighed softly while sitting down on her bed, fiddling with her hands. "Honestly, B, I feel nervous as hell right now." Bianca nodded her head, understanding that her best friend could finally be happy.

"You'll be fine, T. We will be here with you." Tiana gave her a soft smile before hugging her, knowing that she had people standing beside her throughout all of this.

Tiana felt her phone vibrate, and she took it out of her purse. She had seen that Jey had texted her.

ZaddyJey🤍 sent 2+ messages.

IMESSAGE 💬 ZaddyJey🤍: hey mama I'm otw to come pick you up. ZaddyJey🤍: are you feeling okay?

Tiana smiled at the messages. She loved how Jey was so caring and loving towards her, especially being understanding. All of this just made you feel like you'll finally be at peace.

She saw Montez at the door, waiting on Bianca. Bianca got up from her bed, and she watched her leave. They both looked at her.

"We got yo' back, T. We hope that bastard goes to jail for good," Montez said as he and Bianca began leaving.

Tiana decided to text Jey back.

IMESSAGE 💬 Mamas🩷: yeah I'm okay just a little bit nervous about today that's all ZaddyJey🤍: it's going to be okay mama don't feel nervous when they asked you questions Mamas🩷: I will try not be nervous yk how my anxiety goes sometimes. ZaddyJey🤍: yeah I know mama, but I'm outside come open the door so I can see yo' fine ass. Mamas🩷: 🤭🤭

She put her phone back inside her purse, looked around her room, and made sure that she didn't forget anything as she walked downstairs towards the living room.

Tiana opened the door, seeing Jey sitting in his car, waiting for her to come out. She went towards his car on the other side of the door, knocking on the window.

His eyes darted in her direction, smiling as he unlocked the door Tiana got inside, hugging him as he gave her kisses on her face.

"Hey my pretty baby." Jey said softly.

"Hi, Papi." She said while kissing him on the lips.

"Are you ready to go?" She nodded her head, yes, as he began to turn on his car before heading down to the courthouse.

✧.* They finally made it to the courthouse. She and Jey got out of the car together, holding hands as they walked inside. While they were doing that, Tiana saw his parents and other family members in there.

They looked down her way as they began whispering to one another. That's when his mother yelled out her name, catching her attention.

"You bitch! How could you put my son through this!" Ms Jackson shouted.

"Excuse me? All of this is your son's fault, and maybe if you had raised him right, he wouldn't be like your husband." Tiana retorted as she held Jey's hand tight.

Ms Jackson tried to hit Tiana in the face but was pulled away by her husband as they all glared at her with disappointment.

Tiana rolled her eyes at them as she and Jey went inside the courtroom, where she saw Bianca, Montez, Jon, Trinity, and her parents, along with his people, too.

Her parents have yet to meet Jey as a result of recent events, although she has spoken with them extensively about him. Jey kissed her on the temple before letting her approach her lawyer, who was sitting next to her.

"Hey how are you feeling?" Ms Sella asked.

"If I'm being honest, I am really scared and worried, Ms Sella, " she said as Ms Sella held her hands.

"Don't let him reach you, okay? He'll be sent behind bars. We have all the proof we need, okay?" Tiana bowed her head as she looked behind her, seeing everyone she loved there to support her; her gaze shifted to Jey, who smiled at her as she did the same. They all noticed the Judge enter, and she sat down in her chair, gathering all of the paperwork required for this.

(Warning: this will contain domestic violence, including flashbacks. Also, please not tooo much on me; I'm not good at writing these.)

Tiana saw Malakai coming out with handcuffs around his wrist. He looked up at her as he shot her a deadly glare, which made her feel nervous.

But she brushed off the feeling while focusing on what matters right now. The bailiff cleared her throat, causing the whole room to be silent.

"All rise, the Court of General Sessions Judiciary Circuit is now open. The esteemed Judge Carter now preside." Everyone got up from where they were sitting.

"Everyone except the jury may be seated. Bailiff Jones, please swear before the jury." Judge Carter stated forcefully while gazing over at the bailiff, who had sworn to the judge that she would remain in her designated place before Judge Carter could proceed.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Calling the case of plaintiff Hayes vs. defendant Malakai Jackson. "Are both sides ready?" She questioned the decision to call Tiana and Malakai's lawyers to the stand.

"We are ready for the people, Your Honor." They both repeated it at the same time, and Judge Carter nodded, prompting them to both sit down. Malakai's lawyer stood and approached the judge.

"Your Honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the defendant has been charged with many counts of domestic violence, violating a restraining order, and aggravated assault with a handgun against Plaintiff Hayes. The evidence I have will show the first time Plaintiff Hayes "allegedly" sustained bruises from Defendant Jackson at her nail shop. He remarked this as he carefully approached the screen, which showed all of Tiana's bruises and wounds from Malakai when he and his girlfriend visited her business.

The bruises and wounds were on the left side of her cheek, along with the busted lip when he was attempting to drag her inside his car.

"But... my client, Mr Jackson, has proof that this wasn't what actually happened on that day," he reflected, looking over at Judge Carter. Tiana's eyes widened as she heard all of the lies Malakai's lawyer was telling the Judge right now. She leaned over to Ms Sella, whispered in her ear, "That's an utterly ridiculous lie; he has no proof whatsoever." Ms Sella nodded, fully aware that this was also a lie.

"Objection, Your Honor!" Ms Sella stood firmly, all eyes on her, as Judge Carter extended her hand to Malakai's counsel.

"Sustained, Ms Sella, do you have proof to go against this claim that Mr Smith has stated?" Judge Carter inquired. Ms Sella nodded as she glanced through her folders, identifying the first piece of evidence. She bent over the table as Bailiff Jones approached, grabbing it from her and giving it over to the judge, while Malakai's lawyer returned to his seat next to him.

Judge Carter looked over the evidence with a raised eyebrow before looking at Ms Sella. "Can you explain to me what this is, Ms Sella?"

She cleared her throat before saying, "This is the evidence and a copy of when Defendant Jackson came in with his girlfriend and harassed Miss Hayes prior to the incident." Ms Sella approached the jurors and smiled. "Your Honor, Ladies and Gentlemen, as you can see, there were no bruises or wounds at the time of the occurrence, but my client is not the defendant. She is the plaintiff in a case involving compulsive behavior and a lack of respect. Throughout this trial, you will only hear lies and no evidence against my client. She stated while standing in front of the entire courtroom.

"The evidence that you're holding your honor was before the incident happened, but I have more evidence to back it up." Ms Sella said as she handed over the video footage to the judge

Judge Carter handed the tape to Bailiff Jones as she inserted it into the DVD player. They all viewed the video of the event, which showed him pulling Tiana's hair and dragging her toward his car while she tried to fight him off, forcing him to beat her with his pistol.

Yes, it was scary, but thankfully, aid arrived just as the video ended and everyone could be heard murmuring under their breath.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, as you could see, the defendant had used a weapon on Miss Hayes, causing her to have a wound on the bottom of her lip, so whatever claim that his lawyer has is unlikely." Ms Sella said that this prompted Mr Daniel to get up.

"Objection!" Malakai's Lawyer shouted, jumping out of his chair. Judge Carter held her hand up while looking towards Mr Daniel's.

"Overruled." She said before letting Ms Sella continue.

"May I call Miss Hayes up on the stand, please? " She inquired as she looked over to the Judge, receiving a nod of approval before glancing at Tiana. She raised her hand, prompting her to feel apprehensive.

"You got this bestie!" She heard her best friend whisper.

Tiana felt a slack in her throat before standing up as Bailiff Jones led her to do so. She felt worried, and her worry was definitely sneaking up on her. "Raise the right hand. Do you swear that your testimony is solely the truth?" Bailiff Jones questioned her as she nodded.

She muttered, "I do." "Please state your full name please." She spread her lips as directed, but her mouth felt dry. "Tiana Cole Hayes." "You may be seated." Tiana did as she was ordered, carefully sitting on the chair and fiddling with her fingers while looking anxiously at the gathering. The faces she cared deeply about, even those she didn't want to see at all.

"Miss Hayes can you please tell the court when and how did you end up that situation?" Ms Sella remarked as she folded her arms, observing that Tiana had her hands on the side of the stand.

Ms Sella gently nodded her head, reassuring for Tiana to continue.

"I ended up in this situation with Mr Jackson due to the simple fact that he was upset that I wasn't going to be with him anymore." She answered.

Ms Sella softly nodded and placed her palm on her chin before heading up to the stand.

"Now, Miss Hayes after you told him that you didn't want to be with him anymore is that where he started to put his hands on you?" She questioned.

Tiana looked down into her lap and closed her eyes, recalling the events of that day.

FLASHBACKS He pushed Emma out of the way as he snatched Tiana up by the hair, causing her to yelp, getting flashbacks of him doing this to her.

Kai pulled her down on the floor as he was dragging her outside towards his car; Emma had grabbed Tiana's phone, unlocked it as she called Jey.

Tiana tried to fight him off, "Get the fuck off of me, Kai." As he kept dragging her down to his car.

OTP Jey: Mama? What's up? Tiana: this is Emma her friend we need you down here like now. Jey: why? What's goin' on is Tiana okay? Tiana: She's getting dragged by Kai towards his car and we need you here like now please. Jey: what? Ight bet I'm comin I'm comin' Tiana: thank you Jey.

CALLED ENDED

Emma grabbed a vase with flowers and ran towards Kai and Tiana. Seeing Tiana getting hit in her face with his gun just broke Emma's heart.

She didn't want Tiana going through this, she told her not to deal with someone like Malakai because he was crazy and dangerous.

A/N: warning domestic violence !!

Emma saw that Tiana was bleeding on the bottom of her lip understanding that Kai had hit her with his gun trying to bring her inside of his car, all she could do was knock him out with the vase that she had.

As she saw Tiana trying to fight him off of her, she didn't know if she wanted to wait for Jey to come or just hit him upside the head with the vase.

That's all she could do, so when she ran up and hit him upside the head with the vase, he froze, letting go of Tiana's hair.

He turned around, facing Emma with an angered expression on his face, pointing the gun at her, which caused her to back up slowly.

"You, stupid bitch are YOU tryna save her huh?!"

"YES, KAI, YOU'RE INSANE RIGHT NOW!" Emma shouted.

"ME!? insane? NAH, I'M JUST TAKING BACK WHAT'S MINE!" he shouted.

FLASHBACK OVER.

Thinking back on what transpired that day, notably Emma almost being killed by him before Montez and Jey arrived to rescue the day. She looked across to Emma, who was smiling and offering her encouragement. "Miss Hayes...are you still with us ma'am?" Ms Sella inquired as Tiana glanced across at her. Tiana nodded and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Did he put his hands on you after denying him?" She questioned.

She let out a deep sigh as she gazed over at the defendant. "Yes. Yes, he placed his hands on me."

✧.*

After Tiana confessed that Malakai did, in fact, put his hands on her, the entire room fell silent until his mother spoke out, leading everyone to stare in her way. "That bitch is a phony who wants money from us! She's a lie, my son adored her, and she just wanted to flee away with someone else!" Mrs. Jackson.

Judge Cartier struck the gavel, "Order in the court!" "Ms Jackson, if you keep having these outbursts, I will have the police escort you out of this courtroom, do you understand?" She gave Mrs Jackson a harsh look as she took her seat.

"You may proceed." Ms Sella nodded.

"In the video Miss Hayes I could see that you were lying there next to his car as he was threatening your friend who was protecting you correct?"

Tiana nodded her head calming her nerves, "yes she was trying to protect me from him before anything else could happen." Ms Sella nodded her head as she continued on.

"Miss Hayes your friend hit Mr Jackson with a vase before Mr Jackson could do anything else to you correct?" Ms Sella questioned.

"Yes she did." She said.

Ms Sella brought out a bag containing Malakai's gun and gave it to Tiana to look at, which scared her since she didn't want to think about all the times he had threatened her with this gun.

"Does this look familiar to you Miss Hayes?" Tiana looked up at her nodding her head in the process.

"Yes, this was the gun that Mr Jackson had hit me with along with threatening my life." Tiana stated.

"Do you recall any of those times of him doing that Miss Hayes?" She glanced down again, not wanting to recall all of the frightening memories of being with him when he didn't have his way with her.

She was bouncing her leg up and down, her anxiousness increasing by the second, but she didn't want to panic in front of them. She took another long breath as she answered her inquiry. "I do recall him pushing this familiar gun onto my neck threatening my life if I ever did leave him for someone and that scared me so bad."

Ms Sella placed the gun-filled bag away while placing a photograph on the stand and presenting it to Tiana. 

This photo was really frightening to see her laying in the hospital bed, battered and sliced up from the night when she tried to escape him but was caught under a form of notice. He beat her so hard that she had to be hospitalized as a result of it.

"Do you remember what happened on this day around 12:30pm at night Miss Hayes?" She questioned.

Tiana felt another lump in her throat and tried to swallow it down. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she tried not to shiver her body. She sniffed her nose before brushing her tears away as she glanced through the crowd to find the love of her life, along with her family members and his. She could read their facial expressions; they were heartbroken seeing her like this, struggling with this.

"Y-yes I do remember what happened on that day Ms Sella." Tiana said softly.

"Can you tell us what happened?"

Tiana groaned heavily, knowing that this would shatter her.

FLASHBACK - TIANA

I was packing my belongings, making sure that I had everything I needed before slipping out to my car. I dashed downstairs with my luggage over my shoulders, and as I went to open the door, he was waiting there with his key in hand. I wasn't expecting him to return home so late, and despite knowing what he'd been up to behind my back, I tried to ignore it.

We remained there in quiet, looking at each other and witnessing a grin build on his lips before he returned his keys to his pocket.

"Where the fuck do you think you're going?" Malakai questioned me.

I didn't want to answer his question as I attempted to push past him to my car, but he shoved me back inside the home, locking the door behind him. He grasped my throat roughly as I clutched onto his wrist, attempting to get his hand away from my throat, but he refused to let go, crushing my throat even more.

"I asked, where the fuck is your ass going to tink? You're not thinking of abandoning me, are you? I kicked him in the balls, prompting him to let go of my throat, allowing me to breathe.

"Yes! I'm fucking leaving you; you piece of shit I am tired—so tired of this Kai." I said sternly.

He angrily stomped towards me grabbing me up by the hair as I winched in pain.

"Since you wanna leave so bad I'll so yo' ass something."

A/N: warning domestic violence!!

He was severely hitting me, and there was blood all over the floor. Everything seemed foggy to me since I couldn't see anything. Malakai repeatedly hit me in the face while using a knife to slice into my shoulders, forcing me to bleed.

I begged him to stop, but he ignored me and continued what he was doing. He booted me in the stomach, forcing me to groan in pain as I fell to the ground clutching my stomach.

"Do you want to leave me right now? Huh? Huh?! So this is what you get for attempting to leave me when all I ever done was adore your stupid ass!" Malakai spit. I coughed up blood, hardly seeing it come out of my mouth as my vision blurred, and all I could see was him carrying me somewhere I didn't know.

That's when everything returned back to normal, and he panicked, acting as if he cared about me despite the fact that he had just almost killed me.

I couldn't hear anything or feel anything it was like I was dead in a way.

"Tiana? Baby I am sorry please wake up I didn't mean it I just got scared okay?" Malakai pleaded as he shook my lifeless body.

'Got scared? Nigga are you fucking serious?'

"Please baby please?"

He slapped me across the face not getting an answer from me as he began calling 911

✧.* After being rushed to the hospital I was in the hospital bed finally opening my eyes trying to search around the area to see where was I at

I could see him sitting in the chair watching TV as he held my hand.

'This disgusting bastard.'

I slowly removed my hand from his as he turned around looking at me with a smile on his face like he was "truly" happy to see me alive after almost beaten me to death.

"You're finally awake tink! I'll let everyone else know." He said as he left the room.

I saw a card left on my table seeing that it was a card number from a policeman I grabbed me and kept it behind me seeing Bianca and Montez coming inside the room.

"Oh my god! Tiana what happened? Did he do this to you?" Bianca questioned as I nodded my head tears streaming down my cheeks.

Montez was pissed seeing me in this condition wanting to put his hands on him but couldn't due to us being in the hospital.

"Ouuu I can't wait until you leave him Tiana and find someone better honey I don't like my best friend hurt like this." He said folding his arms in the process.

"I know and I will...I am tired of this too...hoping yall would help me..." I said weakly.

"Girl we will 100% help you escape from this man so you won't have to go through this anymore." I nodded my head weakly hoping that the day will come true.

END OF FLASHBACK.

Tiana felt her body shaking and tears rush down her cheeks; it hurt her so much to talk about this in front of everyone, including Jey; he had no idea, and only her parents, Bianca, and Montez did.

"H-he, I apologize...I was packing my things to leave him that night after discovering he was cheating on me, and before I could even go, he grabbed me by the throat, clutching me so firmly that I couldn't breathe. When I started fighting back, he became more aggressive with me, striking me in the face many times, tossing me across the room, stabbing me with a knife in both shoulders, and kicking me in the stomach...then continued to play the victim." Tiana said as she brushed her tears away, while Ms Sella handed her some tissues.

everything crushed Jey's heart to see her up there sobbing during all of this, and he dropped a tear as he watched everything unfold. He flashed his gaze towards Malakai, giving him a straight stare that said, "I want to fucking kill you." He sent Tiana a look, but he had to keep his cool for her sake.

"I know this is hard for you Miss Hayes and I'm sorry that you had to go through that traumatic experience with the defendant but where you able to leave him after all of that?" Ms Sella questioned.

"Y-yes..I was able to leave him with the help of my two best friends who were in town." She stated while wiping her left over tears.

"Who were your two best friends Miss Hayes."

"Bianca and Montez."

✧.*

After a few more questions and replies, they realized they had won the trial since Malakai's counsel lacked evidence or proof to support his innocence when the Judge reached a final verdict. "All Rise." Bailiff Jones explained. Everyone rose up as Tiana clasped hands with her lawyer, praying and hoping that this man would be sent behind bars for good. "With all of the evidence that was gathered and shown to us and the Jury for this evening we have came forward with a verdict." She indicated that she will continue on.

"We find the Defendant guilty of all of the charges against him he will be sentenced to prison for 5 years with no parole for multiple counts of aggravated assault with a weapon, domestic abuse and violation of the restraining order." Everyone in the courtroom began cheering as Tiana began to cry. She never imagined that his ass would end up in jail for all of the filth he had put her through over the years.

Tiana brushed her tears away as she saw Malakai being led away in handcuffs; they exchanged one final look before his face vanished. She watched her family and his family approach her and hug her.

"You did tink! You did it now you can live your life in peace!" Mrs Hayes shouted as she hugged her daughter tightly.

Tiana didn't know what to say, except to cry tears of joy since she no longer had to cope with him. "You're such a fucking pick me! Now I'll have to watch my son behind jail because of you!" Mrs Jackson raced up to Tiana, attempting to lay her hands on her.

But in self-defense, Tiana shoved her hard, forcing her to tumble back into the chair while everyone in his family rushed to her help. Tiana and everyone else had left the courthouse eager to go out to eat to celebrate her win, but all they could hear was his mother shouting and yelling, blaming her for everything.

"You were never ideal for my son, you witch! He did not put his hands on you! He was only enraged and loved you to death till you abandoned him in the dust with some ugly ass Samoan dude!" Tiana. She didn't have time for this and rushed over to his mother, hitting her across the face while holding her cheek in disbelief.

"Look here, old ass hag; I don't have time for your crap and falsehoods! I've had enough of your family continuously trying to protect him! When everyone knew he was fucking insane and aggressive! So, do yourself a favor and look in the mirror, sweetheart; you, too, are a victim of domestic abuse!" Tiana spit as she moved away from his mother, heading towards her people.

She walked inside Jey's car, sat in the seat, and fastened her seatbelt while waiting for him to get in. As she was doing so, she was going through her social media when she received a text message from Kehlani, and she sighed deeply, wondering if she'd ever get a break.

theyhatelani sent you a message.

IG MESSAGES 💬 theyhatelani: you fucking bitch I hate you theyhatelani: first you stole my man and then put Kai in prison for 5 years! For something that he didn't do! theyhatelani: you're such a pick me

Tiana laughed at her messages she was most definitely delusional just like Malakai.

tianasworld: ion' have time for your shit today so I'll just keep it simple last time I check you cheated on Jey multiple times his family fucking hated yo' ass and then ion' even know how Kai ass dealt with your shit surprised he didn't beat on you like he did with me. But i digress you're more delusional than I thought you were and so what im glad he's in prison now I don't even know why you care so much when you barely knew that nigga so girl stay the fuck outta my dms okay? 🙂 or I won't hesitate to whoop that ass again k?

After sending the message, she blocked her when she seen Jey finally enter the car. His gaze shifted to her, and he smiled as he caressed both of her cheeks and kissed her softly on the lips.

He gave her multiple actually.

"I'm so proud of you mama." Jey said softly.

"Thank you my love that means so much to me." Tiana said while looking into his eyes.

"Everyone wants to go out to eat you down or you wanna chill at my crib?"

"Let's go celebrate boo."

He nodded his head as he turned on the ignition. As the car began, she gazed out the window, still watching his mother spazzing out and rolling her eyes. Today was a terrific day.

Under Your Touch.

[bloody-cupcakes]

please please PLEASE some scary 11 x reader? I‘m a SUCKER for scary 11. when he gets angry, and invades ppls space, yells in their face? he can be so dark…. (swoons.)

what about him intentionally scaring the reader, to get them to be obedient for him? almost driving them into a panic attack, just so he can be the one to comfort them? 😳

Honestly I also have an unhealthy attraction to the Eleventh Doctor when he's acting all scary so-

Tw: yandere/dark content, gender neutral reader, implied kidnapping/Stockholm syndrome, the Doctor purposely upsets the reader using degrading words just so he can be the one to comfort them, the reader ends up distressed because of the Doctor and cries because of it, very brief shoving from the Doctor that could be seen as physical assault, gaslighting/manipulation

"What in the hell is wrong with you? I told you to stay on the TARDIS where it was safe so you wouldn't get hurt!" The Doctor didn't get truly upset often, but if there was one thing that was sure to bother him it was the thought of you getting hurt, or worse yet, getting away.

"I- I'm sorry! You weren't back when you said you'd be, I thought that- that something awful had happened!" You were visibly close to tears, but that didn't stop him from getting closer to you and shouting some more.

"I can regenerate, unlike you." His tone was cold and patronizing, the usual childlike mischief in his eyes replaced with a much darker look. "I'm also not stupid enough to ignore a few simple instructions left for me."

Despite the guilt you had for ignoring the one command he'd given you before he left, you still had enough of a defiant spark left in you to feel indignant over his words. "I am not stupid," you insisted with a glare while clenching your fists.

"Oh, really?" He scoffed as he moved forward, that single action causing you to shrink back and cower in fear. "You could've fooled me."

"I- I'm not," you reiterated, your voice not sounding nearly as confident as before. In fact, it was a little shaky, the fear that was beginning to build up within you spilling over into the way you spoke.

He noticed the change in your demeanor, feeling proud of himself for how easily he was able to get to you. Now all he needed to do was put the final nail in the coffin. "Maybe I should just take you back home to earth if you're going to insist on disobeying me."

A sudden gasp of disbelief left your throat when he said that. There was absolutely no way he'd actually leave you behind... right?

"No, Doctor, please, I'm so sorry, I'll never disobey you ever again, please-" Tears freely dripped from your eyes and down your face in salty streams as you reached for him, only to have him roughly yank your wrists back and use them to shove you away.

"I never should've brought you along with me in the first place. You're a pathetic excuse for a human being, and an even worse companion." He didn't raise his voice this time because he knew he didn't have to. He had you right where he wanted you to be, and that was in a fit of hysteria, reduced down to nothing more than a crying mess at the idea of him abandoning you.

"No... Doctor, please..." You sank to the floor in a heap of sobs, covering your face with your hands as you choked out apologies in a quivering voice. "I'm sorry... I'll never, ever disobey you again... please, Doctor, don't leave me..."

It was hard for him to keep from grinning at just how pitiful you looked, but he didn't want to mock you any more than he already had. "Oh, you poor thing." He knelt down beside you, the sadistic side of him that took pleasure from upsetting you now concealed behind his usual caring act.

"Don't leave me..." You begged while reaching out for him a second time, letting out a sigh of relief when he allowed you to cling onto the front of his jacket. "I'm sorry, Doctor..."

"I know you are. It wasn't your fault, dear. You were just feeling a little more anxious and worried for me than usual, which caused you to act carelessly and without thought." He rationalized your sudden emotional outburst as if he hadn't been the one to cause it in the first place. You were too focused on the kindness of his words and the warmth of his touch to notice.

Burying your face into his chest, you inhaled his scent, glad that he no longer seemed to be angry. "Yeah..." You mumbled out an agreement, too tired to do much of anything else.

The Doctor smiled at the docile way in which you were acting, pleased at just how easy it was for him to break you down into little pieces for the sole purpose of being the one to build you back up again.

[deep-fried-egg]

Should've said no

CW: jealous Lorraine, Lorraine is a little bit insecure, you're a pornstar, angst to fluff

"Why didn't you disagree y/n!? I thought you knew I have a crush on you!" Lorraine yelled, she's mad at me because I did a scene in RJ's movie with Maxine and didn't disagree with the idea.

"Lorraine I-"

"No! Be quiet! You don't have any excuse!" Lorraine yelled, "I can't believe you would do something so low." Lorraine turned around to storm off to her room, but before she did so she looked over her shoulder to get In one final word. "We're going to talk about this later." As soon as she left I heard footsteps behind me.

"Y/n. What happened?" Maxine

said, "I've known you since kindergarten and even when we first went out you never acted like this. Something's got you upset..." She trailed off.

"Lorraine's mad because I shot that scene with you." I admitted. "And the thing is Maxine," I said turning to face her, "she's right, I don't want to be seen as someone who sleeps around."

I sighed and sat down on my bed. "But, if she wants to think of me like that then so be it."

I feel like I should apologize for what I did... "You know Y/n," Maxine spoke up, "I don't think you should take what Lorraine said to heart."

"Of course it isn't okay that she'd say something like that... I mean I'm just doing my job.  It's just sex." I mumble to myself

I don't want to let anything get to me. I just need to focus on filming, but still Lorraine's words are stuck in my head. I was trying not to think about that, I really was. But I couldn't help but feel like I'm in the wrong...

I know I love Lorraine though.  And I need to tell her that.  But, how do I do that after we just had an argument about me being a pornstar and having sex with people that aren't her even if we aren't together... fuck.

I really need to get this off my chest though.  It's eating me up inside .

"Hey Maxine." I spoke up suddenly, getting her attention. "Do you ever feel like you need to tell someone what your thinking about?" I asked, feeling stupid when she gave me her 'are you crazy look'.

"Uh..." She hesitated, obviously wondering why I asked her that,"Well yeah, I suppose"

"Well, I feel like I need to tell Lorraine how I feel but  I just can't bring myself to." I confessed, looking anywhere but her."It feels selfish and maybe I am being selfish because I know she'll get mad at me if she finds out, but I also feel like it would be worth it if she would see how much I care about her." I told her honestly, finally meeting her eyes.

Maxine paused for a moment, thinking about my question and eventually nodded her agreement, "I think you're probably right. Why don't you just go get some food and ask her tomorrow? She might forgive you if you try." Maxine suggested.

I smiled weakly, "Thanks Maxine." I gave her a small hug, "You're always there for me no matter what."

~*~*~

I walked towards Lorraine's room, knocking gently against the door three times to alert her that it's open, I walked into her room, finding her lying face down on her pillow.

I quickly noticed the tears streaming down her face, "Hey Lorraine." I started, sitting beside her.

She slowly lifted her head, her eyes were swollen from crying, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten so angry at you." She tried to smile. "You did nothing wrong."

"Nah, it's okay"

I reassured her. We both fell silent for awhile until I decided to break the ice, "Lorraine... I wanted to say something... I feel kinda guilty for shooting that scene with Maxine."

"Oh, don't worry y/n I know you don't actually -

"No!" I interrupted, "That' not it, I swear! It's just..." I started, pausing to gather courage, "It feels so bad seeing you so sad about it."

I waited for a few moments to see if she'd continue to stay quiet and let me speak, but when she didn't say a word I continued, "And there's also another thing I wanted to tell you actually..."

"What is it?" Lorraine asked, wiping away her remaining tears with the back of her hands.

"Lorraine...I think I might have a crush on you." It felt liberating to say those words out loud. I wasn't scared or embarrassed. Instead I felt more confident.

Lorraine's jaw dropped, "You do?! Wait...you said you weren' sure about it! And, how could you have a crush on me? I'm not beautiful. You're gorgeous. Your hair is gorgeous, your eyes are gorgeous, your lips look perfect and you have great body, why would anyone-"

"No, no... Lorraine you're beautiful."  I interrupted, reaching up and running my thumb along her cheek."The only person who doesn't get that beauty is yourself."

"You..." Lorraine stopped herself, looking at me like I've grown two heads or something,"You really think that about me?" Her voice was barely above a whisper. "Even though you know I can' be compared to you. You still think so highly of me?" She was shocked.

"Yes, I do, Lorraine."

"Why would you want to spend time with such a worthless person?" Lorraine sniffed, starting to cry again,"Look at how ugly I look."

"You are not ugly Lorraine," I said sternly, "And don't call yourself 'ugly'." I scolded, "There is absolutely nothing about you that is unloveable."

I reached out and wiped the remaining tears off of her face and held her hand. "Y/n..." Lorraine whispered.  I leaned forward and kissed her softly, Lorraine pulled me closer by my shirt,"Y/n...I-"

Just then Maxine came storming in, interrupting us "Hey guys!! Can I join your huddle?" She asked, laughing.

Lorraine pushed me away from her "Maxine, get out." She growled, glaring daggers at her older friend.

Maxine raised her eyebrows "Ooh, somebody's in a mood." She teased, grabbing her keys, "Have fun y/n!" Maxine sang, leaving the two of us alone. 

once she did we stared at each other awkwardly for a few seconds until Lorraine broke the silence with the same question from earlier, "Y/n?" She said softly. I took that as an invitation to sit next to her on her bed and wrapped my arm around her shoulders.

"I think, that if you wanted to kiss me, you could've just asked." I said smirking and wiggling my eyebrows. Lorraine laughed quietly, leaning back into my embrace. "So, about that scene..." I started.

"Yeah." Lorraine breathed deeply.  "We can forget about that.

Hiiii!!

Can I get a friends to lovers scenario with some of the Harry Potter boys (particularly George Weasley and Remus Lupin if you do those two characters ❤️❤️)? Any specifics will do, I’m just a sucker for the trope. Please and Thank you!!!

George Weasley - Friends to Lovers Trope HCs

I know you guys are looking for probably actual writing but right now making bulleted headcanons are just so much easier on me and my melting brain, so for now, take this semi detailed scenario hcs about being friends to lovers with George :))

I'm so sorry I'm advance!! these really are just me rambling about how I think it would go,,, I hope y'all enjoy,,

I promise I'll actually write something better for this soon

•So friends to lovers with the one and only George Weasley. Honestly I see this trope as like,,, you're just best friends with him and he's the one to fall first. And believe me, he falls HARD.

•This man doesn't fall easily for people. At least, not like this. Sure he's had a few fling crushes here and there that he might have hyper fixated on a tiny bit just because he craves the attention. HOWEVER - once he realizes he's falling for his best friend? He's a mess.

•One day he was just listening to you talk to him, Fred, Lee and Angelina and all of a sudden when you laughed about something stupid he said? It made him feel different. It pulled at his heartstrings in the most beautiful way that he was almost sure he imagined it because you never stirred up this reaction out of him before?? So he was very confused.

•No doubt he tried to brush it off but as time went on in the span of the 30 minutes you and everyone else was chatting in the Commons, it dawned on him.

•O h. I'm gaining feelings for my best friend.

•Insert him excusing himself to go do… something else. Probably go try to work on WWW inventions or something. He just needed to take a quick breather and distraction. Everyone thought it was normal but Fred could sense something was off with his twin. So he followed after him? He went to their dorm to see George kind of flustered and freaking out and asked what was wrong.

•Naturally, George is great with words /sar so what ended up coming out of his mouth? Complete gibberish. Fred normally could understand his brother's incessant ramblings but not this time.

•"Woah Georgie, slow down. I can't understand you when you're spilling your words all over the floor like this." He normally would have tried to make light of the situation and he still does. Thankfully, George was able to actually get out what he was trying to say.

•"I think - I think I might be falling for them!"

•Que Fred laughing. Also que George punching him in the arm while yelling "BLOODY HELL FRED THIS ISN'T FUNNY!!!"

•Oh but it is. He knew his brother was rather soft when it came to the mushy feelings of romance, but he didn't think he was this bad.

•So naturally Fred has to talk him through processing these feelings (not that he could really handle his own feelings if he ever liked someone like his twin is currently)

•They're both horrible with their feelings. Despite having a big family, I don't think Molly really was there to help them process their own feelings due to having their younger siblings to take care of. And you know Arthur was always working so it was quite literally just the two of them. Not that they don't appreciate their family but c'mon now.

•ANYWAYS I'm getting off track here. George eventually figures out his feelings and yes, its very apparent he feels something for you.

•So he and Fred try to plan accordingly about how to bring it up to you. But you're so… you. George doesn't want to mess whatever you guys have up.

•I will say however that you've noticed him acting a bit different. So the plan the twins had goes out the window once you confront and ask George about his behavior in the next coming weeks.

•He cracks, because he just can't lie to you! Not when you're looking at him like that. So he ends up spilling a confession of which almost gets missed by how hesitant and quiet he gets.

•Thankfully your ears work (unlike mine lmao) and you take his confession in pride. You tell him you appreciate it (which he swears he's about to be rejected just because of those words alone-) but then you tell him that you'd be willing to try. Because recently you had started to see him in a different light.

•He's ecstatic tbh and SO relieved. Like when I tell you he let out the biggest sigh of relief? I MEAN IT.

•This is how your relationship with him starts. Yeah it's a little messy, but not in a bad way! George has next to no idea what he's doing because he REALLY does care for you and he doesn't want to let you down or hurt you.

•Just be patient with him, okay? I promise he makes it all worth it <33

[itsblasttothepast]

Before I send you a new take on rumours, can I say what annoyed me in this race? (you can ignore this part) Sergio had a bad start and said he had no grip on the tyres. Bird's response: "It'll come to you later" (okay, standard response but why wouldn't you tell him something about the tyres to calm him down?). Then when the rain got worse (after the red flag) Checo had to ask Bird to keep telling him the gaps between himself and other drivers because he couldn't see - it made me angry becasue isn't that the engineer's job in the first place? Bird is not talking to Sergio, he is not responding to the questions and that's just unbelieveable (I understand that he could be tired after the triple header but this keeps on happening every race and I just can't find any more excuses for this guy) - BRING WOODY BACK Okay and now since the poison is out I can go for the rumours (I agree with you, we need to go crazier if we want to match the reality): The Markoner (I'm stealing the name) marriage: They will use the drama as a game to go back to their honeymoon phase ad restore the love they lost along the way, they will bring more drivers to destroy since this is the only hobby they share - they are looking for fresh meat because Sergio is taking to long to break and they need their daily dose of killed hopes and dream to function; Or they will keep pushing the 'they have the same car' agenda when we know for a fact now it isn't true, Sergio won't get any upgrades and will start driving a car made of cardboard and gum with one (1) RBR sticker on it and they'll still be saying it's the same car - they'll keep feeding the media to make Checo's life unbearable and then they will say they let him go because of 'taking care of their driver's mental health'; Separatly, I think Horner will say Lewis's signing with Ferrari was all a ploy to get him into RBR and in fact he will be driving for the team next year and Helmut will go back to saying Liam is their best option - and he will completly forget about Yuki for real, he will be surprised to see him in the paddock at all; Since Jos was there today I feel obligated to add him: He will do another 180' and start saying shit about Sergio again, claiming that Max doesn't need anyone in the second seat to keep winning and RBR will agree OR he will get even nicer than he was last week and hell will freeze over and world will end; And finally the media (and fandom in this one): They already did the goodbye party for Sergio so I'm not sure what can be even more wild (since he still has a contract and nothing was confirmed) but I'll try - All the sponsors will leave Checo and start supporting Franco (because for now he's the SkySport's sweetheart) and they will try to find ANY interaction Franco has with anyone to prove their theory. OR they will just keep on asking the same questions to Sergio and Max and RBR will end up with no drivers becasue the bulls will got to prison for beating up the journalists.

Oh, don't worry, I completely share thi sentiment as well, since the fucked up qualy, and what happened the first sprint race... it's like Bird it's saying 'I'm back to ruin you', and RBR it's allowing it. I'm glad Checo said something, but even then he's painted like the bad guy, 'oh, he lost his cool, he yelled at his poor engineer'... 🤦, we need Woody!

Also, taking advantage of this rant space, I'm also adding my own: RBR gaslighting Checo so bad. Marko and Horner saying 'we change his chasis because he complained about it, just to give him confidence'... what? They are acting like Checo is inventing all these problems, when they ducktaped his car and the brakes don't work since I don't know how many races before this one. They are honestly stepping up in their mind games and I fear for Checo's sanity at this point.

All right, back to our game, reality continues to surprass us with the rumors, but my take with Markoner (ft. Jos Verstappen who is back into asshole mode and said Liam would be a great teammate for Max) is that they are talking to Williams to play lottery seats. Williams needs money, that's not a secret. So RBR is asking for a driver swap and Checo goes to Williams, and.... Franco or Carlos, still debating this one, will go to RBR. Then to make Yuki better for keep ignoring him to be promoted, they let him believe his time will come... forever and ever.

Hey, you called it! Papa Verstappen is back saying shit against Checo and being a fan of Lawson, saying he would be an excellent teammate for Max.

Hey, here I have to take a break and ask you... why do you think Marko and Jos say nice things about Checo and then get back to the hate program? Do you think someone is calling the shots and telling them to back off sometimes? I can't come up a rumor for this one.

Oh yes, the fandom is already retiring Checo and being all nasty about it. But my take is that now they will say Franco is taking everything Checo has: his seat, his team, his sponsors, his wife and children... hell, maybe even his dog.

You know? Call me delusional, but when the reporters asked Max if he would be happy with Franco as his new teammate as the press is saying, I could swear Max looked sad. His answer was very neutral, but his eyes... I saw sadness there. I just hope that the little reunion they had today (Horner, Marko, Jos and Max) wasn't a ploy to see how to fire Checo.

And hey, if they fire him, I hope it cost them dearly, so much that they can't recover in a while (sorry, I'm petty).

marry me, idiot - chapter three

series masterlist

It seemed like everyone in the office has crammed themselves into the Pit shooting area.

The set led you to believe that you might've been playing Beopardy, but the questions board was nowhere in sight.

You and Spencer were situating yourselves on a set of stools in the middle of the table, two stools on your right and two more on Spencer's left.

Shayne stood in front of the table, conversing with Kiana as he prepared to host, making sure his mic pack was on.

Your partner in crime and you began whisper yelling at Kiana, trying desperately to get her attention, both of you wanting answers.

"What are Rhett and Link doing here?" You hissed, palms flat on the table as you leaned across with wide eyes. Spencer nodded vigorously beside you, his eyes widened as well.

"Okay, lan wanted to do a newlyweds game with you guys and a few other sets of best friends, just ones that aren't engaged." You two nodded along as Kiana spoke. "So when he went to lunch with Rhett and Link today, he told them the idea and they loved it. Bossman swapped this shoot with another Pit shoot. We weren't planning on doing this for months." Spencer sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. You nodded, brows still furrowed in confusion.

"That's great, I'll probably strangle lan later, but why are Rhett and Link here, like right now?" You spoke in a hush, your eyes darting frantically from where the duo stood to Kiana.

"Well, they said they had the free time to watch it, but I think Ian may have asked them to join you guys, so.." Kiana grinned awkwardly, knowing how quickly your faces would drop from showing any semblance of happiness. Ki thanked her lucky stars as Lizzy called out to her, allowing her an excuse to leave you two. "Spence, we really have to sell this, I don't wanna disappoint the work dads." You took his hand in yours, squeezing softly as you angled yourself toward him as he sighed, nodding his head.

"I didn't expect them to care this much, honestly." He chuckled as a clap on his shoulder causing him to jump.

"Congrats you crazy kids!" Link cheered, grinning as he looked between the two of you. "Marriage is so exciting and y'all are just marrying your best friend; y'all are gonna be so happy together." He laughed, pushing his glasses up a bit as both of your cheeks tinged bright pink.

You bashfully thanked him, making small talk between the three of you before Brennan called for places.

Spencer let out a sigh of relief when the Mythical duo sat on the stools closest to you, the ones beside him still left empty.

Rhett whispered a congratulations and squeezed your shoulder as he walked behind you. You turned to your right, met with grins and thumbs up from the both of them.

After a bit of bullshitting with the crew, Noah and Keith finally strolled in about half an hour later, quickly taking their stools beside Spence's. You two found this game to be quite easy, sitting beside each other for eight years and helped you two pull far ahead of the other's.

Rhett and Link gave your pair another round of congratulations as they said their goodbyes.

Shayne finally got a free moment to talk to the two of your after you'd removed your mic pack, handing it off to Brennan.

"You guys did great, with the show and the show you put on." Shayne chuckled, keeping his voice quiet as you laughed, a blush creeping on to your cheeks as Spencer laughed.

You and Spencer had blown everyone out of the water from he very beginning, nailing every question. Eventually you two settled on bullshit answers, allowing the other's to catch up a bit. You still managed to rack up 24 points, Koah with 17, and the Mythical duo had 15.

The three of you said your goodbyes and went your separate ways. As you and Spencer headed toward your office space, you intertwined your fingers with his, grinning brightly at him.

Spencer gave your hand a gentle squeeze and smiled back.

You continued through your routine in comfortable silence; there was a mutual understanding that today had been a lot on both of you, more than you had expected.

You said your goodbyes to a few people before Brennan halted you, calling you over to his desk, Spencer not far behind you.

You two looked at the monitor over the taller man's shoulders, a smile blooming over your cheeks and a blush across Spencer's cheeks. You didnt know what to say, the picture was so perfect. The screen was taken up by a shot from this morning.

You stood with your arms wrapped around Spencer's shoulders in the photo, his around your waist, your foreheads pressed together as you smile at each other.

Spencer wanted that picture tattooed on the inside of his brain. You both looked at each other with so much love, it was so much better than any of you had expected.

"Say something, please. Ki and Alex were about to cry when I showed them." Brennan chuckled, glancing at Spencer, who meets him with a massive grin.

"That's amazing, Bren. I can't believe it." Spencer gripped his friends shoulder softly, the excitement buzzing through him as the next picture appeared.

You gasped softly, pouting your bottom lip out. It was a shot of your left hand outstretched, your fingertips gently pressing against Spencer's as your ring shown in the early morning light.

"Okay," Brennan closed the tab as you huffed, Spencer scoffing a bit. "I can't show you anymore, Rachel has to pick out which ones were gonna use, then send you guys everything."

You two did attempt to protest, but Brennan shut his monitor off, putting an end to any further arguments.

You had every intention of dropping Spencer off at his apartment and then leaving, but your bladder had other plans.

You left the bathroom wiping the residual water on your hands off on your pants, smiling brightly at Spencer as he sat at his desk, an absurd amount of tabs opened on his laptop.

"I know there's gonna be a budget for this wedding thing but can we put up money for it if we want to?" Spencer asked as you approached him, resting your head on shoulder as he clicks through various different shotgun wedding chapels in Los Angeles.

"I mean, I don't see why we can't, but what exactly are we paying for Spence?" You chuckled as he leaned back in the chair, turning to press a soft kiss to your cheek. He closed his laptop and set it aside, patting his desk as an invitation for you to sit.

He rolled his chair back as you sat, scooting himself a little closer again, sitting just between your legs, his hands on your knees as he grinned up at you.

"Okay, this is just an idea, so hear me out." You nodded slowly, used to hearing Spencer's ridiculous ideas out. You were normally very encouraging of anything he'd presented, but now that you were gonna be directly effected, again, by this one, you were understandably hesitant.

"l'm thinking that we can rent out a little wedding chapel for the day and shoot the actual wedding. I'm trying to contact a few and see if we'd be allowed to film in the first place, but basically, we can rent out a chapel, have the whole shebang of a shotgun wedding, and we end with saying 'I don't' instead." He grinned, shaking your legs softly as he sat back in the chair.

Spencer took a deep breath, his eyes locked on yours as he watched the gears turning, knowing that every outcome of this was running through your mind. Eventually you shrugged, laughing softly.

"Email the idea to Ki, lan, and Lizzy to make sure they're all cool with it and then we can look into it,"

You punctuated your sentence with a smile and a nod, Spencer springing from his seat to wrap his arms around your waist, resting his head on your shoulder.

"I can't wait to not marry you dude." He chuckled, grinning as you wrapped your arms around his shoulders, pulling him in tighter.

"What if we did get married, though?" You laughed, biting your lip as Spencer pulled away, a puzzled look on his face.

"Well, like, for the benefits, like we planned to before. I'm not looing for anyone and you said you weren't either, so what do we have to lose? It'd be kinda fun to pull one over on the office, too, yanno." You explained as you felt your cheeks quickly redden, never before had you noticed Spencer's eyes quite like this. You followed as he gazed you over, his baby blue's seemed to take in every detail of your body before his eyes met yours again.

You took a deep breath, shuffling in your seat and straightening your back. Goddamnit, Spencer didn't make it easy to be his best friend when he did things like that.

All you wanted to do was jump into his arms and kiss him until he was all you could taste, smell, feel. You wanted so badly to tangle your fingers in his hair as you two became a mess of limbs and moans. You didn't want anyone touching him like that for the rest of his life.

This was the closest you could get to that.

The tax break was a far thought in your mind as you felt your grip at the edge of his desk tighten, your nails dragging across the laminate.

Spencer sighed, his heart racing as he ran his hands through his hair, tugging a bit at the roots. You began to swing your feet, pulling his attention back to you once more.

How was he supposed to say yes? How was he meant to tell you just how badly he wanted to actually marry you, to wake up with you every single day for the rest of his life?

He was holding out hope, he still is; one day, you'll admit it, that you're so madly in love with Charles Spencer Agnew. It'll happen, he's just gotta hope.

"Yeah, fuck it, let's do it."

A grin quickly spread across his face as he nodded. You quickly jumped to your feet, tackling him into a hug as he pressed his lips to the top of your head, a grin on his face, too.

"Marry me, idiot" Spencer chuckled, squeezing you tighter.

"I will, Spence." You looked up to him, slowly breaking your embrace, his eyes scanning your face with a soft smile on his lips.

You yawned, rubbing your eyes as you leaned back into your desk chair. Maybe those blue light glasses would be wortha shot because, fuck, did your eyes hurt. Staring at a screen with the same audio clips on loops, the same frames all day long should be a special form of torture.

You heart aches as you glance to your left, the blank monitor and empty chair cause your poor mood.

You had to thank Spencer later, his absence allowing your mind to wander into thoughts of your empty stomach and quest for food. You stretch a bit as you move from your seat, slowly making your way toward the office kitchen. It wasn't uncommon to see Garrett in the shared space.

He grinned as soon as you entered the kitchen, spotting you through the window, causing your smile to drop. He was making what seemed like a normal sandwich, but with Garrett there was no telling what he'd done to it by now.

"I'm not tasting whatever you're making, Garrett." You held your palm up as you maneuver around him, moving to search the fridge for any of Spencer's leftovers or a freebie up for grabs.

"No, it's about a games video, don't worry." Garret laughed as he continued to prepare what you could only hope was his own lunch. You grinned, spotting Spencer's Panda Express lo mein from the day before, your fingers wrapping around the box. He's used to Kiana or you stealing his food, he wouldn't mind.

"I'll hear you out." You nodded toward the tables just outside the kitchen as you grab a fork, leaving the room just as quickly as you'd entered it.

You took up a spot at a small table in the corner, kicking out the chair for Garrett as he followed behind you.

The two of you ate in silence, enjoying the small moment of quiet in such a rambunctious office space.

"So, Shayne and Spencer wrapped on their game earlier than we expected, so would you be able to shoot a video today?" He questioned, eyes not meeting yours once as you spoke, his words purposefully vague.

You cocked a brow at him, stabbing at the noddles as you thought over your day. It wouldn't take you too long to finish up the Pit video you were working on, and it didn't need to be up for another week. You just liked to be head of schedule.

"Sure, Garrett, I'm gonna assume you don't want to tell me what the video is going to be and will accept whatever fate awaits me." You nodded curtly, pulling a laugh from the man before you.

You finished up your food, the both of you entering the Games' shooting room to find Spencer glued to the screen, the mouse moving and clicking constantly.

He grinned as he peaked over the screen, his eyes immediately finding yours.

"Oh good, now you can come be lonely with me." He laughed as you slid into the chair beside him, your eyes rolling.

"Wow, Sims 4, Spencer? Are you ill?" You chuckled, pressing the back of your hand to his forehead.

"There was a wedding expansion pack recently and thought it'd be fun to have our wedding in the Sims first." He explained as he clicked arounda bit.

"Look!" He grinned as he pointed at the screen, eagerly awaiting your approval as you grinned. Spencer had created a Sims version of the both of you, quickly sliding the keyboard and mouse toward you.

"Okay, plan your wedding outfit. Whatever you want to wear, babe." He pressed his lips to your warm cheek, your lip tugged between your lip as you tried to conceal your grin.

You picked your outfit, deciding on a simple dress and heels as the crew gave you the thumbs up, signaling the begging of recording.

"Howdy all," Spencer laughed as you groaned, looking to him with a furrowed brow. "Today, my lovely fiancee and have decided to have our Sims wedding."

You laughed, rolling your eyes as you turned toward the camera. "Obviously because The Sims is the most realistic representation of how our actual wedding would go."

"It's definitely not because I have a problem." Spencer scoffed, holding his hands up as defended himself.

The whole thing went to shit extremely quickly, but you couldn't care less. The Sims wedding was a horrific disaster, as most things with the game seem to go.

None of your guests would sit, your Sims wouldn't cut the cake, Sim Spencer peed his pants, and a fire started.

You wanted to focus, to feel more into the video but you couldn't. Spencer had decided to let you control the game, allowing him plenty of time to stare at you, lean into your side, place his hand on your thigh just out of frame.

Your heart was thumping harder against your ribcage with each flirtatious move he made. But it wasn't actually flirtatious. It was for the video, for the fake relationship you two were caught in.

Spencer was riding on a high of happiness at this point. Everytime a camera was on the two of you, he'd get to do the things he'd been dreaming of.

One day he'd get to hold you, kiss you, touc you in every way he's wanted to for years.

One day, just not today.

hi its me the anon who requested the tessa x fem reader, i forgot to say i meant tessa from murder drones and forgot to specify that the reader is a human, so sorry about that!😭😭😞😞😣😣

take care tuna

I think that dress looks good on you.

Tessa x fem human reader

★You and Tessa met when the human gala happened.

★you saw Tessa and tells her that her dress is very cute and adorable.

★well.. That's not really how you guys met. You guys just sorta bumped into each other because there's so many worker drones running around serving all kinds of food and drinks that you can't even see where you're going

"Hey J! Come back here now! Stop playing around, and help me with this gala stuff! "

Says Tessa while she is running after J.

"Ah, excuse me!"

"Sorry! "

"You're doing great! " Tessa yells to the worker drones, while running past them

"Ugh, that little drone! I swear, once I catch her I will make her do a lot of shelf cleani-"

"Ow! " Tessa exclaimed while falling with a thud.

"Argh.. Hey, you! You really should watch where you are going ya know! " she yells at the girl that bumped into her

"Ah.. Sorry! But there's so many worker drones that is in here! How can I even know or see when they're blocking my vision? " she exclaims

"Well-" Tessa stomps at the wooden floor with her heels

"Oh, right-" the girl said

"Anyways, this doesn't matter right now. Do you know where a particular drone went? Ah wait, uh, have you seen any drone that have pigtails, is a little bit short and holding a book? "

"I didn't saw her.. Yet. I didn't see any worker drones that have pigtails everywhere.. Why are you searching for that drone anyway? "

"Well.. That drone is actually my " personal assistant " if you would call it that, she said she will help me pick a dress for this gala but then she just ran away! " Tessa said

"Well, she could be anywhere. This manor is quite big don't you think? She might even be hiding on a dresser, a dumbwaiter, or even places that you don't even know existed"

"Well.. I guess you're right. But how am I supposed to get dressed now? I don't have anything to wear, and I need advice from J and now she's gone.. " Tessa said with a tired sigh

"Well.. In my personal opinion I think that dress looks good on you! Black fits you very well. "

"Wait really? You think this dress looks good on me? " Tessa says with a gasp

"Yes! I love the lace and the buttons, I think it looks fancy but also not too fancy, if you know what I mean" the girl said while explaining

"Oh, thank you! " Tessa says with a smile with a small blush appearing on her cheek.

"My parents always said that this type of dress isn't for the Elliots.. And I always have to choose an outfit to make me stand out. I honestly hate it! It's a bit embarrassing.. But hey, thank you for telling me that... "

"Oh right, my name is (name), and you are Tessa right? "

"Yes! I'm so sorry for not asking your name earlier.. I was just panicking. " Tessa said.

"It's alright! Now Tessa, would you want to attend the Gala with me? "

Tessa light-heartedly giggles.

"I would love to! "

My Thoughts On Teen Wolf: The Movie

This is COMPLETELY my opinion and if you disagree, that is completely fine.

Unpopular Opinion: I actually really like the movie but that's mainly because I didn't even take it that seriously. It felt more like a comedy to me than it did a drama. I found myself laughing during parts I shouldn't have been laughing at. Eli getting taken by the Oni after he says "I can do this", Lydia yelling Allison's name, Scott's little entry montage when he exits the car before saving the little girl, Mr. Harris' reveal, literally any time Peter spoke, etc.

Most people call it a dumpster fire and a completely different universe from the show but personally, I don't really care.

I HAVE WATCHED THE ENTIRE SERIES BEFORE WATCHING THE MOVIE! So, I am familiar with all of the recurring characters from the series. I will admit, I wanted to see more of Hikari. Her character seemed very interesting. We got to see a little bit of her personality pop out in the beginning of the movie in the restaurant. A little bit of googling tells me that her and Liam are "good friends" and I kinda want to see their friendship more.

I think the only parts that truly disappointed me was Derek's death and the ending. Anyone who watched the show before watching the movie obviously felt a way about Derek dying and that includes me as well. But I didn't take it all that badly. It was more so the fact that his first beta, his uncle, his niece, and his son ALL watched him die and couldn't do anything to stop it. Like, that kinda killed me inside a little bit.

The ending where the guy goes "we've heard plenty of stories about teenage werewolves, there's always a new one" disappointed the hell out of me because they make it seem like there's going to be a sequel or continuation following Eli's storyline. While that would be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, everybody in the TW fandom and their mother knows that it's not happening and that's the disappointing part. It would be freaking great to see Eli become the wolf his father believed he could be but we aren't getting that and even if it DID hypothetically come to fruition, knowing how most people feel about the writing of the movie, Eli's development wouldn't be done justice.

I get what people mean when they say that the writers completely screwed with Jackson's whole character and made him "dumb." This man's whole supernatural persona and his abilities were an entire plotline for a WHOLE season of the show and he even said that he has claws that can release paralytic venom and somehow, he didn't think to use it to his advantage? Granted, the movie takes place 15 years into the future where most of the characters that had already been established thanks to the show hadn't been in Beacon Hills or dabbled into the supernatural world in over half a decade. Not to mention that the time Jackson's character had exited the show, it was only season 2. So for him, it's almost 20 years. The Nogitsune plot appeared in the second half of Season 3 when he was already gone so he didn't exactly have a clue what he was up against. As far as supernatural ability, that can be excused. However, the naivety is a little... concerning. He was still funny as hell to watch, though.

Scallison amnesia plotline was a little bit mid but the montage of their memories together after Lydia yelled out Allison's name (which I laughed at, by the way) was kinda cute and jogged my memory a bit on the earlier seasons of Teen Wolf. Season 1 Scallison was honestly my favorite era of them and I think for a lot of Scallison shippers as well so seeing that made me a wee bit happy. Personally, I did like Allison better with Isaac but that's another story for another day.

Overall: I like it. But maybe cuz I don't take it all that serious and I just watch it to watch it. Eli must be protected at all costs, I want more Hikari and Liam interactions, let Jackson embrace the kanima completely, and live laugh love Roscoe Stilinski.

This is Luna, logging off!

Another Player Enters The Game

 MASTERLIST ~~ PREVIOUS ~~ NEXT

      "Ugh, I don't believe this. Of all the rotten luck..." Mammon grumbles. He pushes open the gates to the House of Lamentation. It's an old house, looks haunted and creepy with the full moon shining through the dead trees in the front yard. But the lights are on and fill the windows with a welcoming light. Actually kinda comforting. Mammon continues forward.

        "Why should I have to look after some human? It's insulting, that's what it is!" he exclaims. "That rotten bastard... Does he really think he can scare me into doing whatever he wants?" He cards a hand through his fluffy hair. I really want to pet his head! 

        "I mean, you unfortunately don't have a choice. I saw how you were when Lucifer threatened you." I said to him. He turned around violently and slammed his hands on his hips again. "HEY" he yelled out. He looked like he was ready to stand there and beat me up, Lucifer's orders be damned. But he took a moment to think things through first. He huffed out a calming breath and glared at me.

        "Just so we're clear...it's not like I can't say no to Lucifer, okay?!" Yeah, sure. Your actions say otherwise, but its fair, he was pretty scary in that moment. "I only agreed to babysit you because, um...Well you know, because...uh..." He struggled to find the right words to say. Finally, he decided that he didn't need to come up with a good excuse.

        "Anyway, it doesn't matter! Just don't go thinking that I'm scared of Lucifer or anything! Because I'm not!" His right foot stomped on the ground as if to emphasize his point. Yeah, and I can dream at night. See? We're both lying to ourselves.

        I looked Mammon straight into his blue eyes with the most bored, deadpan look I could muster. "Honestly, I really don't care." My voice stayed level and devoid of any emotion, a huge feat for me honestly.

        Mammon's face went wide with shock, and he stumbled a step back. Whatever resolve he made about not beating me earlier wash away from his mind and he glared daggers at me.

        "WHAT?! Oh, now you're in for it..!" His hands clenched into fists, but then he faltered for a split second. His expression turned contemplative, and then thoughtful. "...Although, come to think of it, I'm surprised you've got the guts to talk to me like that. You're not scared?" he asked.

        Oh Hunny, you're about as scary as a puppy compared to half the shit I've seen in nightmares.

        "I mean, I'm a demon. You do get that, right?" He looked at me skeptically, like he thought I actually hadn't understood everything about the situation I'm in right now. I wanted to say so many things, sarcastic things about the things I've encountered in my, like, 15 years of Dream Hopping experience. But, having so many normal human friends in my time, I've learned to keep my mouth shut about things like that.

        Instead, I gave Mammon a smile and nodded my head, opting to keeping my mouth shut. He eyed me up and down, trying to take in as much information about me as possible. Apparently, he didn't find much.

        "...Hmph. You're one strange human, I'll give you that." he said wearily. We had stopped walking at some point in the conversation, so I sped forward to be in front of him and turned back around. I smiled again and said, "I know! Thanks for the compliment, Hunny." I finished with a wink.

        Mammon stumbled back more than a few steps again. His face lit up red and he tried to cover it up with his hand. It didn't work to well. He stuttered and fumbled over whatever words he was trying to force out. I really couldn't help myself, laughing while barely trying to hide the fact that I was. I will never get over how flustered some people can get.

        Mammon steeled himself and took a deep breath, getting back whatever control he felt he had in this scenario. He pushed past me in, quick, long strides. "...Ugh, whatever. Let's move on." he mumbled under his breath, barely loud enough for me to hear.

        We finally made it to the doorway, Mammon pushing the doors open and wide with minimal dramatics. "This is the House of Lamentation. It's one of the dorms here at RAD." He swished around to look me in the eyes. His hands on his hips once more, and he continued with a proud face. "Well, it's not JUST one of the dorms. It's the dorm reserved for the council members," he ended with a flourish. Suddenly, that proud expression turned to one of annoyance and a bit of sadness I was able to pick up.

        "Lucifer, Asmo, and the others take every chance that can get to insult me," his voice got a touch quieter. "Callin' me scum, sayin' that I'm a money-grubber and stuff..." I felt the underlying emotions he was desperately trying to keep from showing. The genuine hurt he felt from his brothers' words. Poor thing. Must be hard to just take the cuts and not show the blood. Well, now I'm getting attached. Guess I know what I'm gonna meddle in later. 

        Mammon put back on the proud look from before, albeit, less convincing than before. "...but I'm an officer on the student council, same as them. The elite of the elite, top of the RAD social pyramid." He finally found it in him to smirk, the upset feeling from before dwindling. "In other words, I'm a big shot. A REAL big shot. Like, even regular big shots are impressed by what a big shot I am." Well, Mammon certainly got his point across somehow. But I am gonna need him to stop saying big shot, for my sake.

        His face lit up long enough to show how much his own words meant to him. Then it turned into a devilish smirk. "So don't you go thinking that I'm just some ordinary demon. I'm nothing like those other peons walking the halls here." His mind went off somewhere else in thought. My mind almost did the same if I didn't will it to stay just in case Mammon got down again. He then came back.

        "By the way, Diavolo is even MORE of a big shot. He's so important that he's got his own castle. That's why he doesn't live here with us." Well, that makes sense, he is the prince. "...Anyway, the long and short of it is that us seven brothers all live here together. Now, it's time I show you to your room..." Mammon stalled again so I took the time to actually take in the room I was standing in.

        I giant foyer, with two grand staircases leading to a second floor. There were two awesome looking dragon statues about halfway up each staircase. Paintings hung from the blue wallpaper walls, and light fixtures all throughout. I caught sight of a bulletin board to the right with flyers hanging on it.

        "Hey, don't just stand there with your jaw open. Hurry up, or I'm gonna leave you behind." He had apparently planned to walk off while I was distracted. "If there's something you wanna ask me, you'd best do it now."

        I wanted more time to look around and get a feel for the house and its aura before we went somewhere else. So, I took a risk, hoping I had enough info about Mammon's character to hopefully distract him for a moment. "What are your hobbies?" I asked. I just barely managed to hear Mammon's response about not having any, then listing off some things before tuning him out.

        Somewhere in the back of my mind, there was an itch. An itch I was all too familiar with. I always got that feeling at night, when people were asleep. That itch indicated a Dreamer. A pretty sleepy one at that. A person that dreamt a lot and vividly. It made me want to completely abandon the house tour with Mammon in favor of finding the Dreamer and stepping into whatever they could be dreaming.

        It was a familiar feeling, but with a new edge and aura to it. It was exciting, and it felt much more conscious than what I was used to.

        What snapped me back to the here and now was Mammon snapping his finger in front of my face. He snapped continuously until he was sure I was paying attention to him.

        "I was talking to you, you damn human!! If you're gonna ask me somthin', actually listen to my words!" he shouted, annoyed. I laughed and apologized. I still wasn't completely back in the foyer, but I was able to pay attention to Mammon once again.

        "Now, I'm gonna give a piece of advice, so listen up." his face only looked mildly serious. "If you wanna survive even a day in the Devildom, you'd better listen REAL close to what I'm about to say." I hummed and nodded to show I was listening.

        "If it ever looks like a demon is about to attack you...run away. Either that or die." He hmphed at the end of his sentence. I won't have to worry too much about getting attacked. If something goes awry, I have a few tricks I've been itching to use to get out of that scenario. Before my thoughts could go any further, a new voice spoke in the empty room.

        "How about this? I vote for YOU to die, Mammon." the voice said. I turned to the right to see a new person walk towards me and Mammon. I immediately noticed his purple hair and orange eyes. He wore the same uniform the other brothers did, so I can only assume that he's one of them. He looked thoroughly pissed off. I thought he may be mad at me, until I followed his line of sight and saw he was staring at Mammon.

        Mammon sputtered for a quick second. "D'ah...! Levi..." he managed. He scrambled for a distraction, which he apparently found in me. "...Uh, l-listen up, human! This here is Leviathan, the Avatar of Envy. He's the third oldest of us brothers." Ah, so I'm going up in numbers. Now I'm just missing the youngest, Avatar of Sloth. Wonder where he is?

        "Since his name's sorta hard to say, you can just call him Levi! Okay then, let's move on." Mammon sped through the introduction as quick as he could, clearly not wanted to be stuck next to his younger brother any longer. Levi's angry expression only changed to show more annoyance.

        "Mammon, give me back my money. Then go crawl in a hole and die." Levi spouted. Money? Really, Mammon? But, as sucky of a move as that is, he is the Avatar of Greed. Something tells me it's impulse, but telling him to die right after? Far too harsh.

        Mammon pointed his head at the ground and dug his nails into his hips. "Come on, I told you I'd get it to you! I just need a little more time..." He paused. "...And you still want me to die even after I give it back? That's real harsh, Levi!" Agreed! At least he's trying, and there's nothing wrong with asking for more time.

        "You need a little more time? How much more?" Levi asked.

        "A little more, okay?! A little more means a little more!" A little redundant, but nothing wrong with that.

        Levi's face went slack with boredom. "You've been telling me that for the last 200 years, Mammon." ...oh, now I see.

        Mammon looked offended and put his arms in the air. "Hey, no! It's hasn't been 200 years! It's been 260! Get it right, Levi!" he corrected. You are not helping your case right now!!!!

        Levi closed his eyes, crossed his arms and growled in exhaustion. "Unbelievable. Seriously Mammon, you're-" Levi didn't get to finish his sentence. I felt as Mammon tensed, the same feelings he gave off earlier when mentioning his brothers' name calling came back.

        "I'm what? Scum? Is that what you're gonna say?" Mammon was genuinely upset, there was no denying that. Empathy kicked in again and I got mad on behalf of Mammon. Clearly, he wasn't actually going to do anything, so I planned on stepping in. Levi's spoke before I could.

        "-you're a lowlife and a waste of space." he said. That made my blood boil. Mammon responded immediately, like he's had this conversation before.

        "Hey! Come on, that's even worse!" he shouted. I saw as his brows curled up in hurt, his lips frowned as he searched his brother's expression for some sort of sympathy. He never found it.

        "Whatever..." Levi scoffed, "Just give me back my money." What the hell? How is he still on about the money? Can he not see how his words hurt Mammon?

        Levi's face suddenly lit up in excitement, an excitement that never should have popped up. "I need it to buy the Blu-ray box set of Journey to the Devildom: Tale of a Little She-Devil and Her Reluctant Companion. The initial round of copies includes promotional tickets to a live event as a special bonus." Levi smiled and giggled to himself like a little kid just itching to get his new favorite toy.

        Mammon looked at Levi incredulously. This clearly isn't his first time sitting through Levi's non-sensical raving about whatever that was. Wonder how well he'd put up with my own nonsense talk. If he ever finds me in that state, I'll have to watch his response.

        "I've go no idea what you're even talking about, Levi, but it doesn't matter! Because I don't even have the money to give you. How am I supposed to give back money I don't have, huh?!" It is pretty shitty to take someone's money and then not pay them back, but still doesn't excuse Levi's actions a couple moments ago.

        Levi's face turned sour again when he met Mammon's gaze. "So then, you're telling me you refuse to pay me back?" No?! He just told you he ain't got the money! That's a perfectly reasonable reason to not pay up!! Levi spoke slowly and dangerously, like he was ready to throttle Mammon. Mammon(reasonably) got defensive despite his astonishment.

        "...What? You looking for a fight, is that it?" Mammon reared up and ready. I couldn't take it any longer. I had to step in before someone got hurt.

        "Hey! Stop it, you ain't got no right to put Mammon down like that!" Mammon's own emotions still rolled off him, giving me plenty of fuel to keep going. "Plus, he gave you the reason about the money. He can't give you something he doesn't have, and he sure as hell didn't refuse anything." I stepped forward and stood in between Mammon and Levi, leaving only a bit of space for them to look at each other.

        Levi considered me, like he had only just realized that I was there. Looking me up and down, he didn't seem happy that I had gotten in the way.

        "What's the deal with this human you've got here with you? Are they your newest sponsor or something?" He wasn't amused. RUDE!! HE JUST COMPLETELY IGNORED EVERYTHING I LECTURED HIM ABOUT!!!! From behind me, Mammon scoffed and crossed his arms.

        "Wha...no! I'd need someone rich enough to support me. Don't be crazy." Again, RUDE! I may not be rich but I'm not poor. Jesus Christ. "Though, now that I think about it....Levi, I'm pretty sure this one likes to collect the same stuff that you do. I bet you'd kill to have some of the stuff in Y/N's collection. You know what I'm talking about...those doll things you always buy. What do you call 'em again?" he smirked, feigning confusion.

        Gasp!! How did he know about my collection!?!?! Did I mention something about it?? NO! I don't think I did, anyway... SO HOW DID HE KNOW!?!

        Levi deadpanned again. "Figurines," he finished for his older brother.

        "Yeah, those!"

        Levi turned to me, more consideration in his eyes. "So, you also collect figurines?" I nodded.

        "Yep, I have for years now, since I was a teenager." I said with a proud smile. Levi's face did a full 180 and changed to pure excitement. He rushed forward and grabbed my hands in his own, coming really close to my face.

        "Which ones? Ooh, do you have any of the main characters from Battle Princess Brigade? Or Girls Only, or Diamond Dust?" He listed off names of animes I've never even heard the name of. I've got plenty of figurines, among other things, from popular animes/games and a few lesser known ones, so either his taste is really far out of my genre, really rare, or the Devildom has its own animes to watch.

        "Nope." A simple answer.

        Levi's face went neutral. "..." Long moments of silence followed. Suddenly, he jolted in shock.

        "...Hold on a second!" While still holding my hands, he looked around the room, from left to right, searching for something. I kept staring into his eyes. I've never seen orange eyes before.

        "You've got to be kidding me...!" he sighed, "That ass Mammon ran off!" Finally tearing away from his eyes, I conducted the same search he had. He was right, while Levi was gushing to me about his anime, Mammon took the chance and ran off. I can't be too mad, I would've done the same thing honestly.

        Levi looked down and finally realized that he had grabbed my hands. His face lit up a bright pink and he went wide eyed. He scrambled back a step or two and held his hands against his chest. Flustered, he looked up at me. I didn't mind the hand holding. I just smiled at him. He, while getting flustered again, readjusted himself and steeled his nerves. Then his face got serious again.

        "Do you realize what just happened? Mammon used you as a distraction to get away from me...Or maybe I should say he used you as a sacrifice. You make it sound like he did something evil. I've done the same thing to my friends before, and people have done the same thing to me in dreams. I don't care.

        "I'll admit that Mammon is one of the scummiest scumbags you'll ever meet..." Is scummiest even a real word? Eh, what do I know? Also, BE NICE TO YOUR BROTHER GOD DAMN IT. "..a total lowlife. But still, that was pretty dumb of you letting him use you like that." Levi said.

        To be fair, I kinda figured that was what he was planned. The smirk after playing dumb? Total setting someone up move, Levi just didn't notice it.

        Levi sighed. "This is EXACTLY why humans are-" I swear if you insult me right now, I will NOT hesitate to sucker punch you. "...Wait a second. Humans...yes, that's it...Suddenly, I've got an idea." The look on Levi's face showed that is was more of a scheme than an idea.

        "Listen, are you free right now?" Levi rolled his eyes and answered his own question. "Of course you are. You've gotta be, right?" He only contemplated the idea that I may be busy for a split second. "You know what? Never mind. Either way, you're coming with me.

        Levi grabbed my hand and started pulling me through the seemingly never-ending halls of the house. Along the way, my D.D.D buzzed in my back pocket. I pulled it out and found the text message from Mammon.

Mammon: Hey, I suddenly remembered I have some business to take care of. So, if you need something, just ask Levi.

        He sent a sticker of a demon dancing and winking.

Mammon: Oh, and just to make sure...Don't go around tellin' stuff to Lucifer, ya got that?

        The next sticker was of a demon surrounded by an evil aura, akin to that of the one both Satan and Lucifer adopted at some point in our conversation earlier that day.

        I sent a sticker of a demon with the word "OK" on it. I didn't want to give Mammon anything more to fuss about than he already did, plus I had no intention telling Lucifer in the first place.

        Mammon sent another sticker. This one was a demon with a devilish look blowing a kiss. I book marked that sticker in my mind to use later. I put the phone back in my pocket. When I looked up, Levi had stopped us in front of a door. He looked left and right repeatedly, trying to see if the two of us were alone. When he believed us in the clear, he grabbed me again and pulled me inside, shutting the door behind us.

In case you're wondering, no, I don't hate Levi. As much as I made Y/N get mad at him in this chapter, I do adore Levi. But you have to admit, his words towards Mammon are unreasonably harsh (plus I just really want to protect Mammon).
