naogin + "gin i'm sorry you lost"

ultralemon + "come on babygirl"

gingershipping + "they be chillin', they be killin'"

fyonikonathan/whatever nikolai rarepair + "did you just bite me"

dazai/ranpo (i forget their shipname) + "i am going to bite you"

HIII BELOVED <333 here are the sillies for you

naogin + “gin, i’m sorry, you lost”

Naomi starts giggling before Gin has even finished putting their card down. They hesitate, their hand not leaving it so they can still take it back, but—

They don’t have another option. There’s nothing else in their hand that they can play. Besides, this could just be a trick; Naomi is cunning and she knows how to manipulate people without them even realizing what’s happening.

Gin sighs and lets go of the card.

Naomi’s laughter increases in volume. “Gin,” she says, “I’m sorry. You lost.”

She plays a draw four, and before Gin can even draw another card from the top of the deck, she follows it up with another wild card.

Gin swears under their breath. They throw their cards at Naomi, but she only continues laughing under the attack. And as much as Gin wants to be mad, they can’t quite bring themself to truly hate anything that leads to Naomi smiling.

ultralemon + “come on, babygirl”

Ranpo looks up at Kajii through fluttering eyelashes, one hand pressed firmly against his chest. He smiles, teasing. “Come on, babygirl. You know you want me.”

Kajii swallows thickly.

He does, but only as an experiment. Only to see what it’s like, only for a night or two, with no strings attached. Ranpo must know this if they truly are the world’s greatest detective, but when matters of the heart are at play, Kajii has learned it’s best to lay the rules out before you begin.

“This isn’t going to be a long-term thing,” he says.

“I know. I don’t want it to be.”

Kajii nods, and then he tugs Ranpo into a kiss. As long as Ranpo has agreed to be the subject of his study, he has no reason to hold himself back.

gingershipping (tanitachilucytwain??) + “they be chillin’, they be killin’” (i changed the wording slightly on this just so it would make sense dgfhgjhk)

“What’s happening?” Lucy hisses, elbowing Mark in an attempt to get them out of the way so she can see better.

They push her back. “You have your own spot!”

“I can’t see anything!”

“Would you two shut up!?” Jun’ichirou snaps. “They’re going to hear us!”

Obediently, Lucy and Mark both fall silent. Though there’s still the occasional jab between them as they battle for space.

“There’s nothing exciting going on anyway,” Tachihara assures them. “They be chillin’.”

Lucy raises an eyebrow. “I thought this was their scheduled fight to the death? Shouldn’t they be killin’?”

“Don’t ask me what’s up with them; I’ve never understood Akutagawa-san.”

“Haven’t you known him for, like four years?”

“Well, yeah, but—”

Jun’ichirou clears his throat, cutting off the argument. Before anyone can ask why, he points towards Atsushi and Akutagawa who are no longer just chillin’. Though they aren’t exactly killin’ either—they’ve gone from simply walking beside each other and talking in hushed voices to full-on, grasping at each other like their life depends on it, making out.

“Oh,” Mark whispers.

Lucy claps her hands together. “I knew it! Oh my God, Dazai-san owes me so much money. Guys, our next date is on him.”

“And by him, you actually mean Chuuya-san?” Tachihara asks.

“…Yeah, probably.”

-

fyonikonathan + “did you just bite me?”

“Did you just bite me!?”

Nikolai giggles against the warm skin of Nathaniel’s throat. He sucks and licks at the blood, hoping by the time he’s done, there will be a bruise. Hoping Nathaniel won’t shove him away before he’s left a mark.

He shudders beneath Nikolai’s touch, but he does not try to escape.

Nikolai bites again, and Nathaniel’s breath hitches.

His gaze flits upward, looking beyond Nathaniel, to where Fyodor sits watching them. The ghost of a smile is etched across their face. Half-pleasant and half-malicious. Nikolai wants to bite them next, but he has to prove he is worthy to touch them first. He must bring the priest to his knees before he can lay a finger on the Savior.

This is their game, and this is the only way Fyodor will allow themself intimacy.

Nikolai’s eyes fall shut as he toys with the hem of Nathaniel’s shirt. He’s close to his breaking point. Nikolai will not stop until he’s drawn out the delicious sounds he knows Nathaniel is capable of producing, and then he will be permitted to move onto the main course.

souheki + “i am going to bite you”

“Dazai-kun. Hey, hey, Dazai. Dazaiiiiiiii, c’mon c’mon pay attention to meeeeee…” Ranpo pokes his cheek, then yanks on his hair. Dazai doesn’t even blink.

Ranpo huffs, frowning to themself. Out of other ideas, they plop themself onto Dazai’s lap and cup his face in both hands, forcing him to look at them. “Dazai Dazai Dazai Dazai Dazai—”

“I am going to bite you,” Dazai threatens, finally snapping. He’s so good at annoying other people, but Ranpo will gladly take their prize for most annoying in the Agency.

They grin. “Do it, then.”

Dazai scowls at them. “I’m not in the mood.”

“For biting? That’s fine, we can do other things—”

“I’m not in the mood for your games,” he interrupts. “Go bother someone else.”

“But that’s no fun!”

Dazai rolls his eyes, and Ranpo realizes maybe they misjudged how much they could get away with before actually upsetting him.

They change course of action immediately, wrapping their arms around him and burying their head in his shoulder. “I’ll be quiet,” they promise, “but can I sit here for just a little longer?”

Dazai sighs, but he brings up to Ranpo’s back, absently rubbing it. “Fine, fine. Whatever. I’ll still bite you if you start bothering me, though.”

“I’m still not opposed to that.”

Dazai laughs, and Ranpo breathes out a silent sigh of relief.

Omg how about a continuation of that bakery au scene? 🥺 (shipname- Synthella? Or Synella?)

we are going with synthella 🥺

—

Synthia couldn’t help but moan as she sipped on the freshly homemade hot chocolate, “I swear, your hot chocolate tastes better than any I’ve ever had!”

Ella chuckled, her sleeves rolled up as she kneaded the dough for the next batch of croissants, “That’s because I use real chocolate, not that dreadful store bought mix, darling”

Synthia looked up, sporting a tiny line of white whipped cream on her top lip, “I don’t think I can come back to that after tasting this!”

She froze when Ella’s hand reached forward, her thumb swiping across her lips. Synthia was worried she would be able to hear how fast her heart was beating.

“Sorry, you had a little something on you lip,” Ella seemed to realize what she was doing, taking back her hand and going back to kneading.

“Oh, right, thanks,” she blushed, staring down at her half empty hot chocolate.

Neither of them spoke for the next couple of minutes, only the sound of the pouring rain hitting on the street outside filling in the gap.

“What… What made you want to become a baker?” Synthia finally asked, breaking the comfortable silence, “I’ve always kind of wondered about it”

“It started when I was little,” Ella didn’t look up from the bench as she cut half of the dough in triangles for the croissants and the other in rectangles for pain au chocolat, “My nan, on my mum’s side worked in a patisserie way back when in the 30s and early 40s”

“Really?” Synthia asked surprised, she didn’t expect the love for baking to run that far back.

“She was French, born and raised in Paris, met my pa when he was stationed there,” a faint smile appeared on Ella’s lips, “He would always come in every morning to greet her and get one pastry from the shop”

“That’s so cute!” the blonde commented, resting her chin on her hands as she leaned on the counter, eager to know more.

“They really were, but when the war came around and it wasn’t safe for them to stay in Paris, he made sure that she would make it to the UK and never look back,” she continued while she transferred the newly shaped croissants on the baking tray and walked up to their designed proofing spot.

“Did they ever… Did they ever come back to the bakery? You know after the war?”

Ella shook her head, “Unfortunately, the shop got destroyed during one of the many bombings and at the time, they didn’t have money to put it back up,” she said, turning her attention back to Synthia, “They settled for the quiet life on the English countryside, but I could always tell a part of nan wished she could have reopened”

“Is that why you opened your own bakery?”

“Yes and no,” Ella tilted her head, “I never really thought about it until nan’s passing almost… well, almost ten years ago, now”

“Oh, I’m sorry about your loss,” Synthia replied, lowering her head and hoping she hadn’t upset her.

“It’s quite alright, she lived to be almost 100, she joke multiple times about how she was ‘well past her expiration date’” she rolled her eyes playfully, “She taught me everything I know and more, she always told me to follow my dreams, no matter how far fetched they sounded to others”

“She sounds like she was a really cool grandma,” Synthia offered her a smile before finishing up the warm hot chocolate, happy to see Ella smiling back at her.

“She was, very ahead of her times, I’m glad I got to grow up under her guidance before she left us”

She took the empty cup from Synthia’s hands and walked up to the sink to rinse it off.

“May I ask why you chose to come to Canada and not like staying in England or maybe even going to France?”

Ella smirked, “Yes, you may, dear. I guess I wanted a fresh start in a completely different place, and, between us, while my French is somewhat decent enough to get me by, I don’t think I would have survived in France, darling,” she let out a laugh, followed soon behind by the blonde.

Once the laughing had died down, Syntha spoke up, “I’m… I’m glad you chose to come to Vancouver, you know,” she fiddled with her fingers, unable to resist looking into Ella’s hazel eyes, “and I’m glad you gave me a chance to… to be your apprentice”

Ella came closer, gently resting her hand on top of Synthia’s, “I’ve very glad too, dear”

Vacation // ShowChan

idk if showchan is their “shipname” but like... ??? give me a break

💌 Info: Stray Kids Bang Chan x Monsta X Shownu x female!reader smut 💕 Includes: romance, pet names, fingering, oral (receiving and giving), riding, threesome, polyamory, aftercare ✏️ Word Count: ~1.7k 

Growing up, the idea of being in a polyamorous relationship never crossed your mind, but there you were, sat between your two lovely boyfriends. The three of you were on vacation in Busan with a perfect view of the ocean outside of your hotel window. You three had just returned from a fun day at the beach, and you’re pretty sure you got a sunburn, but the memories you made with the loves of your life were worth it.

Hyunwoo’s hand was around your shoulder while you leaned into Chan. You felt comfortable and at peace. The TV was off, and you three sat in blissful silence.

A wicked idea enters Hyunwoo’s mind. Seeing you in a bikini all day really made him want you, but he didn’t know how to bring it up. He looks over to his boyfriend, making immediate eye contact. Chan raises an eyebrow, and Hyunwoo glances down at your peaceful body, eyes closed, almost falling asleep.

Chan gets the idea immediately and nods in approval. You feel Hyunwoo’s hand on your right thigh and Chan’s hand on your left. They’re gently rubbing up and down, slowly getting closer to your heat. The attention from your boyfriends is nothing new, but it still makes you squirm. Your eyes flutter open, and you’re greeted by your two boyfriends staring at your body with Chan licking his lips and Hyunwoo biting his lip.

These two boys are going to drive you insane.

You spread your legs slightly, giving them just enough access to your heat. Chan’s hand leaps from your thigh up to your clothed pussy, pressing lightly over your clit. You moan quietly, catching the attention of Hyunwoo.

The older grabs your chin and starts to kiss you passionately. Your tongues dance together while Chan’s hand gracefully moves around your clothed womanhood. You buck your hips into his hand, begging for more stimulation, while Hyunwoo starts to remove your bikini top and play with your breasts.

You lift your hips so Chan can slowly remove your bikini bottoms (no Spongebob). Your body is on full display for the boys, legs spread wide for the younger, and chest raised for the older. Hyunwoo’s tongue is doing wonders against your neck, sucking on the spots he knows make you moan. Chan’s middle finger is deep inside you, pumping in and out, occasionally hitting your g-spot.

You’re moaning both of their names, and they love it. You constantly praise them, which only makes them want to work harder. You feel a familiar knot form in your stomach.

“Please let me cum. I’m so close.” You beg for them, and Chan’s relentless attack on your pussy only becomes more aggressive, adding two fingers into you, while Hyunwoo’s mouth moves from your neck to one of your nipples. Your left hand gets tangled in Hyunwoo’s hair, while your right hand plays with your clit. “Ah- faster, please.”

“You’re doing great, babygirl.” Chan whispers in your ear, making sure to kiss your cheek after. You throw your head back, the pleasure becoming too much for you to handle. Your legs start to go numb, and you feel your high approach.

“Cum for us, darling.” Hyunwoo’s spit is dripping over your chest, and the feeling of cool air against your nipples feels foreign. You press down onto Chan’s fingers, and he bends just the right way to make you come undone. Your juices coat his hand, while Hyunwoo gently pets your head and whispers sweet nothings into your ear. “You’re so good, honey.”

After you come back down from your high, Chan slowly removes his fingers and offers for the older to lick them. Without hesitation, Hyunwoo takes Chan’s three fingers that we’re just inside you and cleans every last drop of your essence from them. Just the erotic sight in front of you makes you moan.

Hyunwoo slips his bathing suit trunks off, erect cock slapping against his stomach. Although you’ve seen his cock countless times before, his length always makes you drool. He starts stroking his cock as he leans back against the couch.

“Ride me, sweetheart.” His command is blunt, but you can’t say no to him. Your legs are weak, but you manage to straddle him and line his tip up with your entrance. “Ready?”

Hyunwoo holds your waist tightly as he lowers you onto him. You quickly realize that it won’t be you riding him, but him moving you up and down on his cock to his liking. You’re just putty in his hands, and he loves using you like a fucktoy.

Chan’s quickly taking in the view. You hadn’t noticed, but Chan also got undressed, and now he’s stroking his cock facing you and Hyunwoo. You make eye contact with Chan, inviting him over to join the fun. Hyunwoo’s focus is entirely on you, so he doesn’t notice his boyfriend get up and walk behind you.

Chan’s arms wrap around your chest, taking both of your breasts in his hands. He plays with your sensitive nipples between his hands, and you dip your head back into Chan’s chest. His lips connect to your neck, leaving more marks around the ones Hyunwoo already left minutes prior.

“Such a good girl for us, huh?” Chan speaks so softly that only you can hear him. Hyunwoo’s groans and Chan’s praises are enough to make you cum a second time, but you hold out. Chan’s left hand moves from your breast to your neck, making you choke just enough for Chan to get harder than he already is. You feel his member poke into your back, and you’re more turned on than before.

“Chan, babe,” Hyunwoo huffs out, cock still deep inside you, “you take her mouth.” Hyunwoo lifts you up, cock slipping out of you for a moment, making you whine. He turns you around to face Chan and lowers you back onto his member. “Don’t be nice. Let’s ruin her.”

Chan takes your chin in his hand, and his eyes wander over your body. He bites his lip harshly when a pornographic moan leaves your throat from Hyunwoo pounding into your g-spot with no mercy.

You lean down, remembering Hyunwoo’s words, and take Chan’s cock in your hand, making kitty licks at his tip. Chan takes a handful of your hair and guides your mouth on him, gently bobbing your head up and down his veiny cock. Your hand goes to play with his balls while he shoves your head all the way down onto his length, making you choke.

You feel your orgasm again, but you can’t ask for permission to cum with Chan’s cock down your throat. You start moaning loudly onto him, hoping he gets the hint that you’re close. Chan’s grip on your hair gets tighter while Hyunwoo’s hands squeeze your hips harder than before.

“Fuck, you’re so hot, babydoll.” Chan looks down at you, spit dripping down from the corners of your mouth. Chan lolls his head back and sticks his tongue out from the overwhelming amount of pleasure surging through his body. The sound of all three of you groaning together sounds like heaven.

Hyunwoo’s thrusts are getting sloppier, so you take up the responsibility of riding him, finally being able to move your hips on his cock. You feel him twitch inside you, almost ready to cum.

“Cum on my cock, Y/n. That’s all I want right now.” Hyunwoo’s grip on your hips tightened even more as he felt his cum threaten to come out. “And Chan will cum in your mouth, right babe?”

Chan, still overwhelmed, nods in compliance to Hyunwoo’s demands. His moans are getting higher pitched and whiny, almost sounding like yours.

Hyunwoo bottoms out, fully pulling you down onto his length, making you cum instantly. Your orgasm washes over you, making you see white. Your mind goes blank as Hyunwoo continues to fuck you dumb through your orgasm, and seeing you roll your eyes back in your head makes Chan close too.

“I’m gonna cum, babygirl.” Chan gives you a fair warning before shooting his thick cum down your throat. You wrap your tongue around his tip and milk his cock dry. Once he feels too sensitive to still be inside your mouth, he pulls out, but you stick your tongue out for him to see what he did to you. “Be a good girl and swallow.”

You swallow all of his cum in one try, but you’re quickly brought back to Earth when the feeling of numbness fades away and you’re reminded of Hyunwoo’s cock, still pounding inside you.

“Please cum, Hyunwoo.” A string of pleases leaves your mouth as Hyunwoo overstimulates you. Your mouth hangs open, but Chan’s attention is on Hyunwoo. The faces Hyunwoo is making turn your other boyfriend on again, and he can’t help but bring Hyunwoo into a deep kiss.

With one more thrust, Hyunwoo cums inside you. He doesn’t move, but rather he makes sure all of his cum leaves his cock before pulling out, watching it drop out of your throbbing cunt.

Chan’s fingers find their way to your pussy once again, this time to clean up Hyunwoo’s cum. He licks his fingers to taste his partners’ sweet juices.

“You two taste good.” He smirks, looking down to his two fucked out partners.

Hyunwoo helps you into the bathroom, starting up the shower. The three of you enter the large shower and begin to wash each other, cleaning off both the ocean water from the beach and the sweat from the sex.

“You two did so well. What would I do without you?” Hyunwoo praises his two lovers, giving you both a gentle eye smile.

“If I were to guess, you’d probably have a really boring sex life.” Chan responds, making the group laugh.

You all silently enjoy each other’s company, a peaceful moment like the moments before on the couch. Nothing but love filled your heart for these two boys, and they felt the same about you.

so this is a rewrite of an older fic i wrote with channie and “he who shall not be named” aka woojin. i really hated the fact that a fic with him was still on my page, so i rewrote it! the old post has been taken down and this is the only version of vacation now. :) i hope you all enjoyed it!

ML S4-E1: Vérité/Truth Reaction

Hey! Well, usually, I stay up to date about the episodes airing, but, I don’t know, maybe working 3rd shift made me lose track of time and I completely missed it. Hopefully, @melyxan posted me a link to the newest episode in French, English subbed. Here’s my reaction to the episode :)

New intro music? Hmm.... not a fan...

To fix the Peacock Miraculous, mix molten gold and meteorite dust, and add a peacock feather.... Are the Miraculous made of meteorite? Do they have a part of their animal as a core like Harry Potter’s universe wands? Interesting...

LoL even Gabriel’s apron has Gabriel logo on it.... Come on....

The hidden version of the peacock miraculous with Gabriel is golden, and Adrien’s hidden version of his ring and LB’s earrings is silver... Could be useful later... or not...

In French, Duusu’s ‘gender’ seems to be male. I wasn’t sure until now...

Papillombre’s design sucks... Can’t believe Gabe’s a successful designer... 🤢

Tikki trying hats is just so cute :)

Kwamis chaos XD

Marinette’s convo with the girls is just cringy... soooooo cringy

The girls assuming Adrien is at her house because she’s acting weird

Marinette repeatedly calling Luka ‘Adrien’... poor boy... Someone said something about Luka snapping at Marinette telling her that he’s not Adrien... Might happen, might not

He’s so patient it gives me cavities from the sweetness

Ladybug and Chat Noir cutouts at the cinema... I wondered why they were so obvious, and why the cinema was so empty...

One of the movie posters’ title is “La Carie” [the cavity]

“My guitar is my only family”... gods... I’ve watched it before writing my reactions, and I couldn’t have known how important this was at that moment...

The lukanette moment every fan was waiting for :’(

I can see that Marinette really loves and cares for him. She wants to be in love with him...

“I’m the Guardian, my identity must stay even more a secret. TIKKI!!! SPOTS ON!!!!!!!” Can you say that louder? Papillombre couldn’t hear you from his lair....

I hear pigeons, I see birds... M. Pigeon #what, now? 73? And it took them all the movie time to defeat him? They’re getting lazy...

She forgets her dates with Luka, she forgets her patrols with Chat...

Throwing Chat off the building... and he acts like “Hey! Worth it! At least, she’s here now!” XD

At least, he’s not mad at her. He understands what it feels like to have a busy life, after all. He’s just so used to it, and she’s not. She’s working on it, and he knows it. Chat’s too precious.

How much do we bet she came back and the ice cream was all melted?

Wow, even Adrien got to free himself for Kitty Section...

I’ll never get over Rose singing XD

Hmm... funny... the movie poster “Le coquelicot” was in the movie theatre and at the bridge, but I looked for it and couldn’t find anything, except for a Ghibli movie “La colline aux coquelicots” [From Up to Poppy Hill] Wonder if it’ll have a role later in the series...

Oh! Theory time! Will we know about Luka’s father? (Spoiler: we will...)

Yikes... Try to tell the truth without telling the truth... It’s easy to say she makes fake excuses to disappear, but it’s also easy to see that she tries her best to please him and her friends...

“Even if you’re still in love with Adrien, I’ll understand.” Luka’s too precious... I repeat myself, but it’s true. 

I never really liked Luka (not disliked) because I’ve never really got to see how he was, but he’s really a sweet, patient and understanding, opened-mind boy who just wants to love and be loved. He doesn’t even ask her to be in love with him, just to be honest with him. Luka, you’re now up to my Top 3 favorite characters from the show!

Hmm... the possession was fast! I mean, they’re still in their conversation and like, 2 seconds later, boom! Akumatized. 

How do you call that, btw? Akumatized and, what, Amokized? Amokatized? What about both? Like a shipname? Akumokatized? Amokumatized? Help me, guys...

Luka fights Papillombre with all he’s got... “Run, Marinette!” Yup, he fights ‘til the end

Ok... Wiki time. I was curious about Pharo, the sentimonster, and looked around on Google and Wikipedia, and found this. Please take that with open-mind since I have nothing much. “Le Pharo” is a district in Marseille. Its name comes from “l’Anse du Farot” that had a lookout on the see. The word “farot” means “phare” [lighthouse]. It works perfectly with the spotlight Pharo uses to paralyze his victims

Both Luka’s akumatized versions didn’t have mouth, and where about speaking...

Rose’s faith in Marinette is cute “she’s the most honest girl in the world”... If only she knew...

I actually like Vérité’s design... makes me think of Nightwing

Aaaaaand it’s confirmed! Jagged is Luka’s father!! (Am I surprised? Not so much...)

Why do I feel like, later in their adulthood, in their roomplay, they’re gonna use Chat’s tail??? (I read too many fics, please send help...)

“I’m here to know if I’m your son.” - “It’ll depend on who you are.” Jagged says that like there are many possibilities....

“Luke, I’m your father”

Jagged admitting he wouldn’t be a good father and he preferred to stay away. Maybe Luka wasn’t happy to not have a father, but he had a mother who looks like she loved him. My sis raised her daughter without a father (because he’s an alcoholic PoS), and she doesn’t lack of love and is happy with their family of 2.

And Jagged admitting under Vérité’s influence that his son is awesome

Tom and Sabine playing video games XD

Protective Tom 💖

Ah! The cardboard cutouts to the rescue! That’s why they were obvious!

Chat’s puns don’t sound the same in French...

The gifts chest is still full

Plagg really destroyed Atlantis

Ladybug’s top 3 of Chat’s qualities, and what she like the most is his humor. So, Ladybug does find Chat funny, just not when they’re fighting!

Nope, Chat doesn’t rock the white lipstick as he did the black one

As long as they stay the same, Chat is perfectly okay with Ladybug being the Guardian. Whatever happens, he only needs to stay with her, and that’s just tooth-rotting sweet

Confirmed: Cataclysm doesn’t destroy a sentimonster. Lady Noire using it on Reflectdoll did exactly the same. To get rid of a sentimonster, no choice but to break the ‘amokatized’ object

LB and CN fighting without speaking to each other shows how much they understand each other as well

“If fighting a supervillain is so much fun, I can’t imagine your everyday life”... Do I really have to go there?

“There’s only when I’m with you that I have fun” Even if he tries to move on from Ladybug because of Kagami, he still loves and cherishes what they have :)

Lukanette is no more...

Jagged is trying (even in the subtitles, they put a smiley face)

No Lukanette, no Adrinette for her... “🎵🎶Ce n’est pas le moment. Il faut être patient. Être patient... 🎵🎶”

Kaalki, you’ve never ever seen a human crying??

Kwamis group hug 💖💖💖

Far from being “as chocking as Chat Blanc“ like Astruc implied, this was a nice episode with not-so-much-surprising surprises. We now know where Lukanette stands, we know where Luka comes from (wait... is Jagged Juleka’s father too????? Because if not, we still have a mystery to solve!!)

4,5 years of Gotham in my life♥

Wow my emotions these last days. I’m not much of a text poster on this site but when Gotham ended I really felt I wanted to write this!

Gotham has been a huge part of my life for so long now. 4 years and 7 months since the first episode aired, that’s some time gosh. And so much has happened during this journey! I just wanna mention some memorable things during these years. Like remember the pre-s02x09 excitement?? And other stuffs, ah here we go!

The first trailer made me SO EXCITE, I had wanted more batman villains content for years since I have always found the batman villains squad so interesting and good and unique characters, there is so much to explore here! And so the Gotham trailer came and I just OH MY GOD this is exactly what I want!! And so it started and it was amazing. My first love was Ed, it took him his first scene in ep1 to make me go totally THIS IS MY FAV! More eps went on and I required more Ed content. But then Oswald slowly grew on me kinda out of nowhere like I wasn’t expecting it. And when amazing ep7 aired it just hit down on me from the sky, like it does when I know I got a new obsession/fandom. Oswald’s amazing scenes in ep7 and I went ”Okay this is it, I’M DEEP INTO THIS NOW AND I LOVE IT!”. In exactly THIS↓ scene/moment I basically said those words out loud and realized this is my life now, ugh also one of my fav looks I miss the bangs:

Shortly after ep7 I started shipping Nygmobblepot, since we knew who these characters were and who they will end up being it made SO much sense in this show, they were like the two familiar main villains in kinda the same age and I also loved them both so I mean it was obvious for me. Man in the beginning we were so very few in the shipping Nygmob pond, in the OCEAN of Gobblepot. It was a bit of a struggle sometimes, ppl wrote hate on my Nygmob posts n stuff shrug. And I just didn’t get how not more ppl could see it? It would make more sense if this were new characters like they hadn’t even met but since we knew this is Riddler and Penguin it just was fate for them to cross paths soon enough! We needed Nygmob content! I started making tons of my own AU:s since if the show wouldn’t give us content I would do it.

BUT we had Robin & Cory with us! Reminder that Cory invented the shipname after 5 minutes and Robin & Cory’s amazing twitter activity during s1 especially I will always remember as a fav. Remember when they we’re so into roleplaying Nygmob and spoke how Ed & Os loved each other and all sorts of things. All about going to The Foxglove together and stuff. Ugh it was amazing, I miss their interactions.  

In this very smol pond is when one day my shining star @conscience-killer (aka okimi79)  approached me, with this ♥ ”Sometimes I feel we’re the only Nygmobblepot shippers in the world…well apart from Robin and Cory. We should have a secret handshake or something.”

And man did we get a secret handshake! Gosh MY DEAR OKIMI! That I up til this day since then has spoken with like everyday for 4,5 years, you are amazing ♥ And in that time of so few shippers it felt even more special, to have  someone else out there as obsessed as me. I’m so grateful we found each other at exactly that time and we’ve been through so much on this journey ♥.

When Nygmob in spring finally had their first scene it was so amazing and I have no idea how many times I have watched that scene to this day, and also with that the ship grew a bit yas!!

Let’s jump forward a bit. NYC Comic Con 2015 in fall, one of my fav Robin & Cory cons/interview times! Because the legendary ep 2x9 was soon upon us and OMG remember how excite they were in those interviews!?! And THEN, that fkn night THE episode aired. I couldn’t believe it was real, it was EVERYTHING we had dreamed of!!! SO MUCH NYGMOB CONTENT and so in character and gosh. Man their season 2 relationship is just so beautiful and I love it til this day and 2x9 is forever my favorite episode because it meant EVERYTHING for us shippers and more people also started seeing the connection between Nygmob and so more ppl started to make content and join in!

A time after another shining star came into my life, @constant-sinner (aka (riddlelvr) ♥ This amazing person and artist! And together with her and okimi I am part of the best trash family of three and I can’t believe I’ve been a mom (yet i’m the youngest but i’m fashion fur coat mom okay) to these trash sinners for like 4 years. ♥

Okay but remember all INSANE SMAYLOR CONTENT BEFORE SEASON 3!!? Man that was also one of the best times I had during these years. God they were so excite for their relationship in s3 and WEREN’T WE ALL! And omg Comic Con. I had my fkn header for 3 years soon lol, man that moment I remember seeing the signing booth stream all casual and Robin & Cory goes “Smaaylor!! Nygmobblepot!!! ;))” And I’m just wait WHUT omg. Their press tours with Sean is something I’ll miss even more than the episodes, always such a joy seeing those three together!

And when season 3 started it was just insane. To be honest how their relationship grew in s3 that’s how I expected it to grow after their meeting in s1, it made sense already back then. Ed admiring Oswald and sneaking to his club and Oswald would be a huge part of Ed’s journey to become the Riddler but ah well, I did my best with my AU:s back then!

And then s3 came and Gotham EXPLODED and I had no idea where all million ppl suddenly came from lol. It became huge. But since it still feels kinda close to this day (2,5 yrs though man), my most nostalgic feels will always be over s1-2 so I’m not gonna write so much about the season 3-5 times in this text. My closest to heart milestones is during the first years and now that I’ve seen all episodes I still think season 1 is the best overall, except the lack of Nygmob content ofc ;)

I’ve not just felt love for the show ofc, the show isn’t perfect. There has been serious flaws and bad writing and plot drops. Tbh s4 I just felt so NOPE about? 22 eps of waste…Like Ed’s plot for example like he barley had his own plot what happened? And we also have the q*eerbait Nygmob issue obviously. I have also felt the show has been a bit childish being -helloo- GOTHAM city we’re talking about? I think it would have been much better off with a MA-rating tbh to properly tell certain stories. After s4 though I’m glad in s5 Nygmob finally got some proper screen time being together and in character!! Like that’s how their relationship should have been from beginning of season 4, or season 1 if u ask me lol but ya know!

BUT I LOVE THIS SHOW, the amazing actors and characters and scenery and costumes!! Ed, Oswald, Robin & Cory will ofc always have the most special place in my heart ♥ The Nygmob journey in the show has meant so much to me to follow it from day one and I never knew how much this show would mean to me when I started back in the day.

This show. And not just the show itself but my journey and life around it!!? So much has happened. For one example I had made a bit of gifs before but Gotham really got me into gif making, and it’s been a joy sharing content and my Nygmob AU will always be among my most fun things I’ve done, it was like if they ain’t gonna give us enough content I WILL. It’s a fun way of gif making to manip scenes to create something new! And today I still enjoy making gifs, as you probably know heh. Thanks so much for all nice comments and reblogs through all these years ya’ll!! It warms my heart and I love to read reblog tags! 

I have been at con and got to meet Robin, enjoyed so many interviews and promos, chatted with wonderful people. Every Friday night I have been up in my Europe timezone at 2am to live watch the show, the workdays after has been a bit of a struggle of being tired with going to bed like 5am lol but man it’s been so nice to follow it when it airs!

Watching together with my dearest @conscience-killer and @constant-sinner . Two of the best that happened to me during these years. These two people that I’ve spoken with like everyday for 4 years! Through Gotham finding two of my dearest friends in my life. Watching the show together and screaming, crying, laughing during this journey, about not just the show but EVERYTHING in life. They also are amazing writers and artists ♥ And also helped me endless times with gif caption when my non-native brain trying to write gif captions at 3am after the episode lol. All my love to you both ♥

THANKS TO ALL AMAZING PEOPLE that impacted me over these years. The cast and nice fandom people! My dearest @conscience-killer and @constant-sinner. And I also wanna mention dear @millicentcordelia and @selene-volturo that are amazing ppl that have been here with me since the very beginning of season 1. And they have always been so down to earth even during the stormiest periods of this show’s existence ♥ I’m so glad we’ve shared this LONG journey!

And also hugs to my dear mutual fandom friends that I’ve shared hours of conversations with over the years. Some of us maybe don’t speak as much nowadays and some of us have gone separate ways with new interests but I hope you know who you all are, regardless if we spoke yesterday or 2015. You have made my fandom time a joy!

I’m actually okay with the show ending now you know. Ofc it’s a bit sad but as I said I felt s4 was kinda stomping around in the same spot and even s5 had some fillers like they didn’t have more to do to push the story forward? The last ep was a nice easter egg wrap up for this LONG journey. And I mean shows live on with fan content, and who knows maybe it will return somehow? But it feels good they told us it would end so I was prepared for this and to say ”goodbye”. But it’s not goodbye because content will continue on this site and I’ll continue re-enjoy this show!

This is 4,5 years. In 2 pages, I could prob write 20 but ah, but i felt I got to to summary the most important things for me over these years ♥. This show and stuff that came with it will always be such a big part of my life, ALL LOVE AND HUGS!

we met on ocean avenue pt 4

A/N: October fic! This chapter was giving me so much trouble especially the ending. @piper-mc-meme this AU is driving me crazy.

Piper @PiperMcMeme posted a tweet: I'm walking towards him rn. My heart is pounding! OMG!

Sam32_blondesuperman: OMG? What's going on? Tell me the tea?

Alicia37: Someone on Tumblr dared @PiperMcMeme to ask Jason Grace aka @BlondeSuperman out.

Sam32_blondesuperman: Holy shit! Get it girl!

Hazel @HazelArts posted a video: @PiperMcMeme Do it for the vine! #McMemeDare #BlondSuperMan #HESAIDYES?! #IKnowVineIsDead #lameJokes

Jones_Star: Holy Crap?!

leafy: What the heck?

eightMarky: Has to be a publicity stunt, right? #HuntingtonHospital

jack_of_some_trades: Isn't he dating QueenRey? She's all over his instagram

PiFi: AWWW! They're so cute together. I ship it. #Jasiper #ShipName#IShipIt

QueenBee: Nah. BlondSuperMan and QueenRey are much better together. They're so hot!

Reyna squinted at her bright screen of her phone, not quite awake yet as she scroll through her Twitter feed. Her notifications were pinging wildly since yesterday afternoon. She immediately muted them to focus on her video edits for her next volleyball video. Reyna wasn't sure when she fell asleep last night. Her laptop sat dead on her floor, thankfully all her work backed up to the cloud.

Reyna pushed her loose hair out of her face as she sat up, crossing her legs underneath her. The said video wasn't clear but she could make out Jason's tall form beside the railing as a nervous petite girl approached him. Her hands fiddled in front of her. The audio was rough with children screaming and loud splashes from the pool.

"Hey, you look new here." Reyna could hear her say. Jason smiled kindly as he inched over, giving her space beside him.

"That obvious?" Jason laughed, lifting his sunglasses. They traded introductions and chatted for a bit. Piper pointed out people with colorful commentary, getting a few chuckles from Jason. He leaned his arms against the railing, waving to someone. Reyna's eyes narrowed as Piper took a deep breath.

"Will you go out with me?" She half-shouted with her eyes closed. Jason nodded his head but before he could say anything, a young man appeared by his side, pulling Jason away.

"Fucking internet." Reyna murmured as she scrolled through the comments and retweets. She was tagged in a good number of reactions. Probably because Jason's latest tweet was of them at Santa Monica beach with Thor. Her phone vibrated signaling a FaceTime call. She arched her eyebrow at the caller id before tapping the green button. "You're an idiot." Reyna greeted plainly as Jason's exhausted face blinked onto the black screen. He groaned, burying his face into his pillow.

"I thought I would get sympathy from you." Jason replied as he lifted his head, pouting at her. His bed hair was a perfect balance between sexy and cute. A dark stubble curved around his masculine chin. Jason shifted to his elbows, unintentionally giving Reyna an eyeful. Her eyes widen before she quickly turned to look at her wall, blush creeping onto her face. Fact: Jason Grace sleeps shirtless. Even from a brief view and tiny screen, she could make out the defined lines of his pecs and abs.

"Sorry," Reyna said, trying to hide her breathlessness. "Here, call again and I'll be nice." She stood up, grabbing a loose cardigan from her chair as she left her room. Hylla sat at the kitchen island, stirring her coffee as she held out her required reading. She nodded to her sister as Reyna plucked a stem of grapes from the fruit bowl. "I promise." Hylla narrowed her gaze at her sister's odd comment.

"No you won't." Jason's voice bounced off the high ceilings of the kitchen. Hylla blinked, definitely not recognizing the voice. 'Who's that?' she mouthed as Reyna head towards the balcony. "You'll still sass me. You're worse than Percy."

"Am not." Reyna countered as she pressed the phone against her chest. 'No one.' she mouthed back before stepping out on the balcony. Reyna settled on their lounging beach chair before pulling Jason back out. "Now, what's your side of the story?"

Jason dragged his hand over his face before flipping over to lay on his bed. For a moment, the world spun showing Reyna a quick glimpse of Jason's hotel room before it filled with his handsome face. "I don't know. One moment we were just talking as she pointed out various people of the cast. Someone called my name and I turned. Piper asked a question and I nodded yes to show I was still listening. Before I could process what exactly she asked, someone pulled me away. She blindsided me."

"And got it all on video." Jason stared at Reyna like she grew another head. "It's a perfect social media storm. The daughter of Huntington Hospital main star asked out current teenage heartthrob and got it all on video." Reyna refrained from mentioning how her timeline was flooded with retweets of the video and people at-ing her with outrageous comments to get any reaction. She wasn't going to feed their curiosity. "Don't look at Twitter. It's a bloodbath."

"Of course it is." Jason groaned. "Excuse me for a second." He placed the phone down, giving Reyna a view of the ceiling. A muffled scream echoed through the speaker followed by excited barking from Thor. The camera shook as the dog jumped onto the bed. Reyna laughed as she could see Thor's long tail wag back and forth. "Thor, not now!" Jason laughed as he wrapped his arm around the dog and reappeared into view. "Having a crisis."

"Dogs don't care." Reyna replied as she leaned back. "Have you ate yet, Jason?" He hugged Thor to his side as he thought. Thor eagerly licked the side of Jason's face who smiled in response. Her heart warmed at the sight. Thor can easily shift his owner's mood. "Are you free today?"

"Kind of." Jason answered as he rested his head against Thor's body. "Just for the morning. I have a table reading after lunch, a meeting with my stylist, a few headshots and then I need to sign the lease for my apartment." Jason ran his hand over Thor's furry bottom. "I also need someone to watch his monster. I haven't found a doggie daycare yet. Reyna?"

"Aurum and Argentum are already suspicious of me from last time." Reyna commented as she looked towards the kitchen. Her two graceful greyhounds slept on their large doggie bed. Like Aurum could sense her, the beautiful dog lift his head and wagged his long tail. Jason held Thor up to the camera as he panted adorably. "Fine, I'll keep an eye on him later. He'll be exhausted running with our dogs."

"Thank you. Thank you so much, Rey." Jason said as she shook her head fondly.

"You owe me breakfast." Reyna ordered as she looked up the address. "Here's the breakfast spot. Meet me there in thirty. Put on your best 'I'm not a teenage heartthrob' outfit please. They have amazing blueberry pancakes, Percy can vouch for that. And they're dog friendly."

"Yes madam. See ya." Jason's image quickly disappeared leaving Reyna alone with her thoughts. She stared at the black screen before pressing the phone against her chest.

Jason is a mess. In reality, he's nothing like the suave characters directors often casted him as. He doesn't have a typical teenager experience, constantly moving around for work. Growing up in the spotlight, Jason played different parts. Reyna often wondered if he knew the difference between himself and the characters he played. Her frown deepened. The video was getting too much attention way too quickly.

Reyna clicked her phone on, pulling up the chat she had with Annabeth. Keep an eye out for him, Rey. "I'm trying." Reyna murmured before heading towards the kitchen.

"That wasn't Frank's voice." Hylla greeted curtly. Reyna sighed, glancing up at the ceiling.

"No it wasn't. I have other friends, you know." Reyna commented as she hopped on the stool beside her. Hylla looked exhausted juggling grad night courses and her coaching job at the nearby high school. After getting her undergrad in psychology, Hylla returned to study sports medicine to help her student athletic better. She reached out, brushing a bit of Reyna's hair out of her face. "He's having a crisis."

"Ah youth. I thought it was Frank by the way you smiled." Reyna touched her cheeks like she could feel the smile. What does Hylla even mean by that? "You only smile that widely after talking to Frank." Reyna's eyes furrowed in confusion. What does that mean? Her phone vibrated in her pocket.

Jason: Might be a bit late. Get me a stack of pancakes and bacon pls.

"There it is again." Hylla pointed Reyna's side.

"I… it…" Reyna stuttered, trying to get her thoughts together. "I don't have time for you to psychoanalyze me!" Reyna shouted as she ran to her room. Hylla's laughter rang as Reyna slammed the door, pressing her back against it. Her heart pounded at the implications.

"No, no time." Reyna murmured as she moved to her closet. Her fingers touched the soft fabric of a cute and flattering sundress. She pulled her hand away like it burned. It was just a dress though. It wouldn't mean anything. "Damn it, Hylla. What are you doing pulling ideas in my head?"

"Something casual but nice." Reyna reasoned as she shoved the dress aside, pulling out a red long flannel shirt. Her face flushed at the memory of their first meeting. She only wore her sports bra and short shorts, fresh from practice. She pulled a pair of white jean shorts and a plain black tee. She could pair it with a few bracelets or necklace if Reyna felt like it.

"You look cute." Hylla commented as Reyna walked out, gathering her hair over her shoulder. Reyna narrowed her gaze. She didn't need to know that. "What? It's a cute outfit. Trying to impress someone?"

"You're evil." Reyna murmured as she grabbed her keys. "And you're enjoying this. I do not need this right now. Heading to Sophie's."

"Get me an order of blueberry pancakes!" Hylla shouted as Reyna shut the door behind her.

Reyna twirled her order number in her hand as she scooped out a spot on the beach. Sophie's set up was more like a snack shack instead of a diner. A single counter took orders, pumping out delicious breakfast food and much needed coffee. The aroma of sweet syrup, freshly cut fruit and pancake batter mixed with the salty sea air. Seagulls hovered around, well aware there's food here. Reyna found a spot beside the sand, kicking her converses off, and buried her toes in the warm sand. As long as Reyna could remember, she always loved the beach. She couldn't imagine living without it.

"Wow," Reyna heard a soft whisper behind her. Jason stood there, gazing towards were the deep blue of the water and clear sky met. He waved at her as he approached. "Do you approve of my outfit?" He asked cheekily as he held his arms out and did a small turn. The pair of dark washed jeans hugged his legs nicely. He wore them with leather flip flops like a casual weekender. The athletic tank top revealed his pale arms. Thor tugged at his leash, trying to greet Reyna.

"I'm sure your fashion guru will have a few choice words for you." Reyna commented as he sat down. Jason rolled his eyes, running his fingers through his blond hair. Thor wandered over to her, wagging his long tail as he pressed his furry face against her leg. Thor barked eagerly as he leaned into her touch. "Thor is as cute as always."

"Nothing can faze him, thankfully." Jason murmured as he check his phone once more before tucking it away. "I've muted Twitter, turn off DM on Instagram and silenced my phone except for certain numbers. My manager has been blowing it up with text messages."

"Is it wise to ignore him?" Reyna asked as she tucked a bit of her hair over her shoulder. Jason shrugged. He looked really young right now like how he truly is, not an actor on the big screen, but a confused young man. Perfectly timed, the server appeared with two plates and cups of fresh coffee. Jason's face lit up at the sight of pancakes. "I got you a Julian Ramirez special. Blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon, sweet maple syrup and butter."

"Sweet and savory, something he and I can agree on." Jason murmured, grabbing his utensils eagerly. Reyna handed Thor a dog treat which he eagerly gobbled down and settled at the base of their feet.

"Not going to snap a pic?" Reyna asked as she added some sugar into her coffee. Jason shook his head.

"Nah, this is me time." Jason replied before looking up. "Well you and me time. Social media doesn't need to follow my every waking moment." Reyna blinked at the surprisingly sweet comment he delivered so smoothly. "Oh man, this is so good." Jason exclaimed as he dug into the pancakes, gushing over the fluffiness of the pancakes with the sweet blueberries and salty bacon. It still blows her mind how he's actually here in front of her, in the flesh, not just an image on the screen. How she can just ask him if he would like to hang out and they can, like real friends.

"Well, are you going to ask?" Reyna blinked at Jason's sudden question. They just finished their food, watching the passing people as they finished their coffee. A bit of syrup stuck to Jason's chin as he wiped his hands.

"I was going to let you digest before asking the hard hitting questions." Reyna teased as she handed him a napkin. He took it sheepishly, wiping his chin. Reyna coaxed Thor towards her, picking the puppy up so he sat comfortably in her lap.

"How very kind of you." Jason said as he stirred his own drink. "Shoot."

"What do you think of Piper, honestly?" Reyna asked, running her fingers over Thor's fur. Jason sipped his drink, looking out at the ocean.

"Honestly?" Jason echoed as he turned back. Reyna nodded her head. "She's bold. I don't have the guts to ask anyone out or at least someone I've just met. She's charming, already cracking jokes about people and laughing with me like we're old friends. There's an openness about her that I envy, that I wished I had. She can come off as strong especially if the only thing you know about her is what's going on Twitter and social media. I don't think she's a bad person."

"She sounds pretty great." Reyna whispered as she hugged Thor. "Just got swept up and hunt down by the social media hounds." Jason nodded his head, agreeing. It was the age they live in. Putting yourself out there is easy but scary. People can praise and attack you with just a Twitter account. Reyna has received a few cruel comments over time.

"She a good girl and I don't want to hurt her." Jason sighed as he rested his elbows on the table, cradling his face. "I feel like we can be great friends because god knows I need more friends. But what do I say? Has anyone ever asked you out?" Reyna's heart pound as she met Jason's gaze. Jason is a very attractive young man. Any girl would be affected especially if he looked at her like she held the answer to everything.

"Once." She whispered, her mouth suddenly dry. Like it could sense the tension, Reyna's phone vibrated beside her, shaking the table. The screen lit up with a text message from Hylla. Instinctively, Reyna and Jason both looked down at the device. Reyna swiped the message away, leaving her lock screen. Her expression softened as she looked at the picture.

It's a selfie of her and a young man bundled in warm winter clothing. They were at an outdoor ice rink with twinkling glow of the lamps. The man was of Asian descent with clean dark hair and a boyish smile. His arms wrapped around Reyna's shoulders as they both smiled at the camera. Snow dotted their dark hair but Reyna could feel the warmth and love from the photo.

"Who's that?" Jason whispered, pulling Reyna back to him. An endearing smile curled on her lips as she picked up the device.

"My boyfriend."

FAVORITE CIRCLE OF HELL [CHAPTER 20]

Fandom: Newsies

Ships: Sprace, Javey, Almer, Specsromeo (what is the shipname?), Blush, Newsbians, Crutchie and Happiness

Warning, it’s all going to be a bit angsty from here on, just in case you were all getting too comfortable with sprace being not together

Race lay on the side of the stage, his head resting on Romeo’s stomach. He listened to Medda direction a scene neither of them was in. His folder with his script was resting on his stomach, highlighters sprawled around them. Romeo sometimes turned a bit, making Race’s position uncomfortable, to watch Specs. Specs was in charge of lighting and sound and was seated next to Medda, taking notes about what she had in mind for a scene.

“Isn’t he adorable,” Romeo sighed, laying down flat again.

“Yeah, he is so adorable, you are so in love. Don’t make me sick again,” Race muttered as he scrolled on his phone.

“Well, you are just bitter. And in denial,” Romeo sighed, pulling softly on Race’s hair.

“Hey!” Race called out, swatting the other boy’s hand away. “I’m not bitter, okay maybe slightly bitter. But I’m not in denial. There is nothing to be in denial about.”

“Your crush on Conloooon,” Romeo stretched the name, in a teasing way. “Come on, you will admit it soon enough.”

“Why don’t you just fuck off,” Race snapped, lifting his head shortly to just let it drop hard on Romeo’s stomach, who let out a loud grunt.

“Asshole,” The boy called out, pulling on his hair again, harder this time.

“Romeo and Race, if you can’t keep quiet, I’m going to have to ask you to leave,” Medda said loudly, not tearing her eyes away from her notebook. Both muttered a soft apologize.

“The day you start denying, I will throw a party.”

“Shut up,”

“Wow, did you just say something without the need to deny you like Spot Conlon?” Romeo grinned. This made Race sit up straight, giving the boy a deadly look.

“I fucking hate you,” he snapped.

“Higgins!” Medda called out, finally looking up from her notebook, pen between her fingers. “Out.” She motioned towards the doors at the other side of the theatre.

“But-“ The blonde boy started to protest, only to be cut off by the lady again.

“During rehearsals you stay quiet, you know the rule. Out.”

Race got up from the floor, ignoring the soft chuckles coming from Romeo. He gave the boy a soft kick in the side before he walked off the stage. Albert, who was seated in one of the seats at the front, was also softly snickering. Race hit the back of his head with his script folder before he left the theatre.

The outside air was chilly, the parking lot vacant with the exception for a few cars. The boy shoved his backpack on his bag as he looked for a free bench to wait on until his friends were finished. He could walk home on his own, but it was a half hour walk and he rather did it with Albert. Until his eye fell on a familiar car. He looked around for a second before heading towards the car. The boy was sitting behind the wheel, but the car was not running. Race knocked at the window before opening the door on the passenger’s side. Spot looked up, a flash of surprise in his eyes before his familiar cocky look got back.

“What are you doing here?” Race asked, already getting in the seat, shutting door behind him.

“I thought you finished at five,” he dodged the question.

“Medda kicked me out,” he shrugged, placing his backpack between his feet, his folder on his lap. “So, what are you doing here? School has been out for hours.”

“I don’t really know,” Spot now admitted, his fingers drumming on the steering wheel. “I wanted to get out of the house and just drove here without thinking.”

For the last three weeks, ever since Race’s father got back home, they had been hanging out at Spot’s home, but Race had not met his parents before. They were always at work or meetings.

“Are you okay?” The blonde boy asked, his upper body turning towards his friend.

“Yeah, I just needed to clear my mind.”

“School is not the place I would recommend to clear your mind,” Race snickered, smiling at the other boy.

“Force of habit, I guess,”

“We could go to my house, if you want, my mom is at work and my dad is out all day,” Race proposed, already reaching for this seatbelt.

“Yeah, sure,” Spot shrugged, starting the engine.

 “Oh, come on, Draco is a gay icon,” Race called out, his head resting on Spot’s lap. At this point they did not even unpack their bags anymore, knowing damn well they wouldn’t spend a second actually studying.

“How is he a gay icon? There is not even a slight hint he’s gay,” Spot objected, his fingers playing with Race’s curls.

“Ehm, the way he is obsessed with his hatred for Potter. Like it screams just a giant gay crush. He’s just scared of admitting.”

“Like you?” Spot’s gaze met Race’s, eyebrow a bit raised.

“What do you mean?” Race asked, feeling his stomach twist a bit.

“You are scared of admitting, aren’t you?”

“What is there to admit?” Race asked, avoiding Spot’s gaze. He knew damn well what the boy meant, but he was too used to keeping up the oblivious act now. He was stubborn but not stupid. But admitting to the flutter of his heart when Spot looked at him from across the room, or the burning of Spot’s touch on his skin, meant being vulnerable. And Race could not risk being the one to get hurt in the end. He would not be able to be the one with the broken heart. So, why would he give the boy the chance to stamp on his heart?

“Nevermind,” Spot muttered, his fingers playing with the blonde curls again.

A few minutes later Race sat up straight, moving so he sat in front of Spot. His fingers stroked the other boy’s face for a few second. Spot looked at him, eyes sparkling as he allowed the touch from Race.

“Just kiss me already,” Spot muttered after a while. Race smirked before pressing his lips on his. Spot’s arms found their way around Race’s waist quick, pulling the boy on his lap. Their lips pressed on each other, following each other’s movement. The kiss quickly got rougher, Spot’s hands moving across Race’s back.

What neither of the boys did not expect was the bedroom door to fly open. Race almost fell of the bed as he pushed himself off of Spot. Both boys looked at the intruder with wide eyes. Race was the first to get on his feet, and the first to speak.

“Dad, I thought you were gone ‘till late,” he said, his breathing was fast, his stomach twisted when he saw the dark look in his father’s eyes.

“I was done early and thought it would be nice to have dinner together,” his father spoke. His voice was icy, sending shivers down Race’s back. Spot got up from the back, he stood next to Race.

“I-I,” Race started, his voice slightly shaking as he was not sure what he was going to say, what could possible calm his father down.

“I think it’s time for Spot to leave,” He almost spat out the name, making Race flinch. The boy could feel Spot’s gaze on his face. Race shortly looked up to him, nodding slightly. Spot kept his eye on the man who still stood in the door opening, as he picked up his bag and grabbed his car keys from the desk. Race kept his eyes on the floor as Spot walked passed him, leaving the room. No one spoke till the front door closed with a loud bang.

“Dad, I-“ Race started, looking up to the man, but once he saw the eyes of the man he fell silent, his tongue feeling numb

Chapter 20

Today was the day in which I would meet Shawn's team. Who are technically my team now for the next year or so.

Right now I'm just finishing up my look for the day.

Earlier today I was worried about what to wear. I was extremely nervous about what to put on, so I dialed Shawn's number.

He told me to just wear what I would usually wear. Which didn't really help because I wanted to impress them. And overall be liked by Shawn's team. There were so many things I could wear but I didn't want to set the wrong impression on them.

Like if I went all out and wore something that showed cleavage I didn't want them thinking that I was promiscuous by showing off my body. I didn't want them thinking I was arrogant by wearing a brand name, but if I wore something simple I didn't want them to think I wasn't trying to impress them.

I ended up mixing both a simple look and a bold look.

The simple part of the outfit was a white off the shoulder, long sleeved, crop top with light denim jeans and the bold statement of the outfit was a dark velvety purple Gucci handbag.

Shoes:

As I put on my shoes I heard a bunch of notifications coming from my phone.

I quickly grabbed my phone and saw that all the notifications were coming from Twitter and Instagram and other social media platforms.

According to the notifications some news was going on around my name.

I quickly dismissed it and grabbed my handbag, ready to head to Shawn's place.

I would check later whatever is going viral. I'm too, in my head about meeting Shawn's team which were also his close friends.

I grabbed my essentials from my room and headed to find my friends somewhere in the house. After a few minutes I found them.

They were all sitting in our living room, where all our rooms were. They were all cuddled together watching movies and editing their videos.

Garrett and Dylan (the puppies) ran up to me and jumped onto my legs. Their little paws reached my shins, I giggled and bent down to pet them. The little barks from the huskies caught everyone's attention.

"Aww you look cute!" Bethany said in awe with my appearance.

"Thanks Beth!" I smile.

"All for Shawn!" Tessa said, wiggling her eyebrows.

"You guys are dumb," I say rolling my eyes and sitting on the couch with them.

"She's trying to look good for Shawn," Emilio says.

"What are you talking about? Shawn is already bedazzled with me," I say jokingly batting my eyelashes.

"Oooo! Is #shipname confirmed?!" Froy yelled.

"Y'all are fools!" I say laughing.

I rolled my eyes and stood up. "Well I gotta get going guys. Wish me luck! Hopefully they'll like me," I frown.

"Awww they'll love you. I promise," Jazzy said encouragingly.

"I know. Hopefully," I say, sighing.

"Good luck we love you!" Ivan yelled as I took the elevator down to the garage.

"Love you guys too!" I say as the elevator doors shut.

Once I get to the garage I get into my Range Rover and crank up the AC.

I headed to a cute bakery in Beverly Hills to get a few gifts for Shawn and his friends.

I decided to get a few boxes of chocolate covered strawberries and a box of cut up bananas that were also covered in chocolate frosting.

I paid for the chocolate covered fruit and put them on the passenger seat. I then went to the driver's seat and headed down to LA where Shawn's condo was.

Pastries:

As I drove through all the traffic I finally got to Shawn's condo. I found a parking spot right in front of the building.

I looked at myself through the rear view mirror and reapplied some lip gloss, I fixed my hair and nervously turned off the car. I sighed as I got off the Range Rover and closed the door. I locked the doors and headed inside the building.

I walked around the building with the boxes of pastries, looking for Shawn's condo. It was my first time coming inside this building. I was excited to finally see where Shawn lives when he's in LA.

Once I finally got to Shawn's place I rang the doorbell, with my free hand. I heard heavy footsteps coming closer towards the door.

The closer the footsteps came, the more butterflies would erupt in my stomach. The door finally opened revealing a smiling Shawn. He looked so fricken cute, I couldn't help but smile.

"Y/N!" Shawn said happily, immediately pulling me into a hug.

"Shawn!" I loudly say pulling away from the hug.

"What's wrong?" Shawn said furrowing his eyebrows.

"You were squishing the boxes with chocolate covered strawberries," I say sadly looking down at them.

Shawn chuckled, shaking his head.

"I didn't even realize you had boxes. I was just excited to see you. Sorry for messing them up," Shawn said smiling.

"Awww it's okay, since you were sooo excited to see me!" I flirtatiously say.

"Ohh don't push it," Shawn said playfully, rolling his eyes, leading me into the condo. "Come on they're downstairs,"

I nodded, following Shawn down the stairs.

"You didn't have to, you know," Shawn said regarding the dessert.

"Oh I know. I wanted to," I smiled. "I want them to like me!"

"Don't be nervous. They'll love you!" Shawn said, shooting me a toothy smile, that made me melt inside.

"Here come on. Let me introduce you to everyone!" Shawn said excitedly once we got down the stairs.

I smiled as Shawn led the way inside the room where everyone was scattered around.

As everyone saw Shawn and I walk in, they all paid their attention to us.

"Hi guys. I'm Y/N!" I say waving my hand awkwardly.

They all muttered a hello and went back to their conversations.

Oh that's weird. I thought they would all pay more attention to me.

"Well I brought some chocolate covered strawberries and bananas from a great bakery," I said to them and placed them on the coffee table.

They all looked at me and ignored me continuing their own conversations.

I reluctantly sat down on the couch and put my hand bag in my lap. I quietly sat there by myself as Shawn spoke with his friends.

I silently listened to their conversations not wanting to interrupt their time.

I felt so out of place and not welcomed. I thought they'd all want to get to know me and talk, but they're all leaving me out of their conversations and I don't want to intervene.

After a few minutes of just sitting, Shawn comes over to me.

He motioned his hand for me to scoot over. I scooted more to the right accidentally bumping into one of the guys on the couch.

He turned around and looked at me up and down, rolled his eyes turning back to his conversation.

"Sorry," I muttered.

Shawn sat next to me and put his arm around my shoulder, pulling us close.

"Why are you so quiet?" Shawn asks.

I shrug. "I don't think they like me," I said, meaning for only Shawn to hear.

"We don't," One of them said, putting their full attention on me.

"Excuse me? I say confused.

"You said that we don't like you. Well we don't," He said bluntly.

"Oh well I'm sorry to hear that," I say, in a sad tone.

"We expected someone better to open up for Shawn's shows. Someone better like Camila Cabello or Alessia Cara. You know actual singers and not a wannabe," A different guy said.

"Shawn didn't even want you as an opening act. We just couldn't find anyone else. He doesn't even like your voice. He doesn't think you have potential to become successful. He just took you in because you're famous and you'll bring in more people to the show," Another guy said.

"Is this true Shawn?" I say as my voice cracks.

"I- ughh- umm.." Shawn stuttered.

"That pause gave me the answer I was looking for," I say standing up and getting ready to leave.

Hearing that immediately made me angry. How could I've been so stupid and be fooled by him.

"I quit!" I spat at all of them.

"You can't. You um actually signed a contract saying you can't back out... with Andrew and David," Shawn said in a scared tone as he put his hands up in surrender.

"Yeah well like your friend said, I'm famous. Which means I have a lot of money and I can get fucking great ass lawyers to get me out of this fucking contract!" I say, at this point I wasn't even paying attention to what I was saying, I was just hurt.

All of Shawn's friends sat there in shock as they saw me run up the stairs.

I ran up the stairs and headed towards the door, tears streamed down my face.

I heard someone running up the stairs, trying to catch up to me. I knew for a fact it would be Shawn.

I felt him grab my arm making me face him.

"Leave me alone Shawn!" I loudly said, trying to pull away from his embrace.

"Y/N!" Shawn said, trying to get my attention.

"No Shawn! Let me go. You've done enough," I say, wiping the tears from my face and shoving him away from me.

I could see all of his friends at the bottom of the stairs staring at us with guilt written all over their faces.

As I shoved him I turned around to walk out the door. Shawn then came after me again and wrapped his arms around my waist not letting me get away.

"Shawn let me go. Please," I say, whispering the last part with a hurt tone as tears come down my face and I just give up. I stand there in his arms just crying wanting to just leave this forsaken place.

"Y/N! Y/N! It was a prank. It was a prank!" He frantically said hugging me. He had a few tears running down his face as well.

He hugged me really tight not letting go of me.

"What?" I say pulling away from the hug. "What are you talking about?"

"It was all a prank. I promise. I convinced the guys to pull a prank on you. I can show you the footage before you came. I promise Y/N," Shawn cried out as he pleaded with me to not go.

"You promise?" I say softly looking up to his beautiful brown hazel eyes.

I may be hurting, but I trust shawn so much it scares me. What if it's a lie and not a prank?

"I promise, beautiful. I would never let anyone hurt you!" Shawn said, pulling me into a hug.

I lifted my head from Shawn's shoulder and looked him in the eyes. Our faces were so close to each other. Shawn's eyes shifted to my lips as he tilted his head closer to mine, noses brushed one another's and our lips were slightly touching.

We broke our trance and quickly pulled away.

"Josiah! Give me your camera so we can show Y/N the footage before the prank!" Shawn said and all of his friends came towards us.

"Y/N! We're extremely sorry! This went way too far and we're completely and incredibly sorry!" One of his friends said.

I still didn't know any of their names, so I didn't know who was who.

"It's okay guys. If it really was a prank I forgive all of you," I say giving them a small smile.

"It was a prank! We promise you that. I'm Jake, Shawn's bodyguard. I clearly told him this was a bad idea, but the boy never listens!" He says, shaking his head like he's disappointed.

I giggle and I immediately turn my attention to Shawn.

"SHAWN PETER FUCKING RAUL MENDES!" I yelled at him and slapped his shoulder.

"Owww!" Shawn winces holding his shoulder.

"You asshole! You're gonna get payback," I say glaring at Shawn. "All of you are. Since we're all going on tour. I'll have plenty of time to get back at you, all of you. I actually don't quit," I say sassily to them as I pop out my hip and rest my hand in it.

"Oh no I'm not excited for this! I didn't want to get the prankster/YouTube side of you," One laughed.

"You guys unleashed my inner beast!" I joked.

"We should get back downstairs to sit," Shawn says, jabbing his thumb over his shoulder at the stairs.

We all agreed and went downstairs and sat down.

I sat down next to Shawn.

"Here let me properly introduce you to everyone!" Shawn says as he gestures to the first guy.

"This is Josiah, my photographer. We used his cameras to prank you. You already met Jake, my bodyguard. This is Geoff helps produce my songs. This is Brian and Matt," Shawn says, introducing me to all of them and I shake hands and he gestured to each one.

After saying hi to everyone Shawn and I sat on the couch that's in the room. He shows me the footage of them preparing to prank me. I laugh at how they we're all worried and scared of how the prank would turn out.

"Wow, you're such a good sport," Jake says and I giggle.

"Well in this business you have to learn to roll with everything. Plus I have two older brothers who mess with me a lot..." I say and Shawn looks at me to get my attention.

"Do you want anything to drink? We have soda and juice. Oh and we also have food," He says scratching the back of his head.

"Sure! I'll have a y/f/s please," I say and he nods then runs off in another direction as I just giggle lightly at him.

As I'm waiting for Shawn to come back with my drink, my phone dings causing me to pull it out of my purse.

When I look at it I see it's a million texts coming through from my idiot brothers:

I shake my head as I put my phone away. I feel hands go around my shoulders and start massaging them.

I look up, behind me to see Shawn is the one massaging my shoulders. I smile up at him and he smiles back.

"What's this for?" I ask. He grabs the drinks that were on the stool and sits next to me on the couch.

"You were looking tense for a moment there, thought I'd try to help. What's going on?" He asks and hands me the drink as he puts his out arm around my shoulder.

"Oh just my idiot brothers messing around with me," I say and he chuckles.

Shawn's POV (from right before he shows you the video):

Everyone settled down on the couch to show Y/N what we filmed before the prank started.

I stood up and walked up to where the camera was hidden.

"Wow Shawn! Becoming a youtuber. I'm so proud of you. You're out here getting the best hiding spots," Y/N says giggling.

Her giggles and voice are so adorable.

I turned around to face her.

"I learned from the best!" I say smiling and sitting next to her.

"Yeah. From all your stalking," Josiah snorted.

I immediately turned towards his direction and gave him a 'what the fuck' face. I immediately felt relieved when I heard Y/N laugh. I didn't want her thinking I was a weirdo.

"Awww I can tell we're all gonna get along. We can all gang up on Shawn here. We can tease and expose him!" Y/N says to everyone as I pat shawn lightly on the chest.

"Umm? What? I think not!" I say in a defensive tone looking at her.

"Umm! I think yes!" She remarked back at me.

That's what I loved about her. She always fights for what she wants and never settles for less. She's herself and doesn't care what others think. If this was another girl they wouldn't be this confident to talk back to me, the Shawn Mendes.

"Everyone except you thinks yes Mendes," Geoff says.

"Anywayss!" I say trying to change the subject.

Y/N just smiled and moved closer to me on the couch to see the clips on the camera.

"When he tries to change the subject!" Brian whispers to the group.

"I think he can hear us!" Y/N jokingly whispers back.

"Okay! I knew you guys were gonna get along, but why in a way where I'm the one getting bullied!" I say laughing and leaning back into the cushions putting my arm around Y/N's shoulder.

Geoff gives me a small smirk and I give him a face that says 'what?' He just shrugs and waits for Y/N to see the footage.

"Welllll, it is what it is, Mendes!" Y/N says.

"Hahaha!" I remarked at her sarcastically.

"Well it's kinda your fault cause we pranked her. 'To try to break the ice' and it was all your idea!" Matt defends.

"Okay whatever let's just watch these clips!" I say undefeated, but not wanting to argue with them anymore.

I pulled up the clip of when we were explaining the prank.

"Ok I'm nervous but excited. Just play it," Y/N adorably says.

I smiled at her and I could feel Jake poking my sides, teasing me. I ignored him because I knew he caught me smiling at how adorable she was.

I press play and the video starts.

Shawn- Hey guys so I'm here with my friends who are my team for mine and Y/N's tour. Today we're pranking the most poppin YouTuber out there.

Jake-  Hi Y/N *waves at camera*

Shawn- right, hiii. So she's on her dandy way to my condo right now and we decided last minute to prank her. So she has been extremely nervous to meet you guys. So I decided why don't we break this awkwardness with an amazing prank! *evil smile*

Josiah- yeah we all love what we've seen about her. She seems like a nice wonderful girl and she makes Shawnie boy here happy. Plus she has a wonderful voice. So of course I let Shawn use my camera.

Shawn- yeah on that note. We're, well not me, they're gonna make Y/N think they dislike her. They're going to also make her think she's just a youtuber and a social media person who doesn't have talent.

Matt- Yeahhh that sounds harsh dude.

Brian- Yeah we're so sorry in advance. We think you're so very talented.

Jake- I'm already saying that this is a bad idea. Mark my words!!

Geoff- Yea hopefully she doesn't want to end the tour......

The clip ends when they hide the camera.

"His words were marked," Y/N laughed while smiling her beautiful smile.

"Sorry about that," I say smiling back at her.

"No it's okay. I'm sorry too since I kind of overreacted. But I was really hurt," She frowned.

"You have nothing to worry about. We were all coming at you,"  I said and we all gave her a small hug.

"Do you want anything to drink? We have soda and juice. Oh and we also have food," I say scratching the back of my head.

"Sure! I'll have a y/f/s please," She says and smiles.

I nod and run up to where the bar was in my basement. I grabbed the drink as well as one for myself and walked back towards her. When I got back I saw her tensed up looking down at her phone.

I wonder if everything was alright. Like is her team alright? Maybe drama occurred?

I set the drink down on a table that was sat by the couch and went up to her, putting my hands on her shoulders. I massage a little bit with hopes of soothing her tense back and shoulders.

She turns back and looks up at me with a smile. I happily smile back at her.

"What's this for?" She asked, her voice in a whisper.

"You were looking tense for a moment there, thought I'd try to help. What's going on?" I ask her and hand her the drink, sitting and putting my arm around her shoulder, ready to listen.  

"Oh just my idiot brothers messing around with me," She says nonchalantly.

I chuckle and nod.

"Yeah they do tend to mess around a lot? What are they doing this time?" I ask and she lets out a huff of air.

Back to Y/n's prov:

"Yeah they do tend to mess around a lot? What are they doing this time?" He asks me and I let out a huff of air.

"They are just being their annoying selves and texting in the group chat about random stuff again," I say and he laughs.

"Don't tell me, it's about food?" He asks and I giggle.

"Bingo...." I say causing us to start uncontrollably laughing together making everyone look at us.

"Why are you guys laughing so hard?" Geoff asks only making us laugh even more.

"He literally knows my brothers so well, it's kinda scary......" I say and Shawn lets out a snort.

"Well we hang," He says and I agree with a shrug of my shoulders.

"You're not wrong there," I say and we look at each other all serious. Only to start bursting with laughter again, but this thine the others join in.

"You too are the cutest......" says Brian and I blush a little.

Why did my heart just flutter at him calling us cute? Did he mean we are cute together? Or just in general?

She turns back and looks up at me with a smile. I happily smile back at her.

"What's this for?" She asked, her voice in a whisper.

"You were looking tense for a moment there, thought I'd try to help. What's going on?" I ask her and hand her the drink, sitting and putting my arm around her shoulder, ready to listen.  

"Oh just my idiot brothers messing around with me," She says nonchalantly.

I chuckle and nod.

"Yeah they do tend to mess around a lot? What are they doing this time?" I ask and she lets out a huff of air.

Back to Y/n's prov:

"Yeah they do tend to mess around a lot? What are they doing this time?" He asks me and I let out a huff of air.

"They are just being their annoying selves and texting in the group chat about random stuff again," I say and he laughs.

"Don't tell me, it's about food?" He asks and I giggle.

"Bingo...." I say causing us to start uncontrollably laughing together making everyone look at us.

"Why are you guys laughing so hard?" Geoff asks only making us laugh even more.

"He literally knows my brothers so well, it's kinda scary......" I say and Shawn lets out a snort.

"Well we hang," He says and I agree with a shrug of my shoulders.

"You're not wrong there," I say and we look at each other all serious. Only to start bursting with laughter again, but this thine the others join in.

"You too are the cutest......" says Brian and I blush a little.

Why did my heart just flutter at him calling us cute? Did he mean we are cute together? Or just in general?

"Well thank you," I say and Shawn chuckles.

"Hey, muffins, where's the bathroom..." I turn to the side and ask Shawn.

"Really!! That again!" He says and smacks his forehead making me giggle.

"Of course muffins, you will always be my muffins!!!" I say in a funny accent with a shout that makes me sound like I'm a war hero in a war movie.

"Ugggh, it's that way..." He says pointing to the right and I giggle.

"Don't be mad! You secretly love it and you know it." Geoff says as I skip off to the bathroom.

I go to the bathroom and when I'm done I walk back out only to plop back down right besides Shawn. He looks at me all shocked.

"That was fast." He says and I giggle.

"Of course it was. I only had to pee," I say and Geoff makes a gag noise.

"TMI!" Geoff says and I giggle.

"Oh please! There's so much worse words than the word pee," I say and all the guys start laughing.

"I mean she has a point. There's..." Jake was about to start naming words off.

"Ok stop there we do not need to hear them..." Geoff says, causing me to giggle at Jake's face that says 'well excuse you!'

"Well fine then..." Jake says and walks out of the room. I giggle.

My phone lights up yet again and I groan, thinking it's my brothers. I look at it and I smile when I see that it's Nick. Not my lame brothers, who are happening to make me mad today.

"Who's texting you now, can't be your brothers. You're smiling," Shawn says with a hint of something that I can't place in his tone.

"Oh! Is shawn jealous!?" All the guys yell, clearly catching the emotion I couldn't put a finger on. I giggle as shawn becomes a tomato.

Could he actually be jealous? No, he couldn't be. Could he?

"N.....n....NO! I was just curious!" He says in a defensive tone and I just giggle it off.

Wow, why does that hurt more than it should? He'd never actually want to be with me so why's it hurt hearing him be so defensive about it? Could I want more? Well yeah I've already established I do? But...... never mind....

"Y/nnnn... you ok?" Shawn says waving a hand in front of my face, breaking me from my trance that I had no idea I was even in.

"Oh! Uhh, yeah, yeah. Just uhh zoned out I guess," I say and look back at my phone to see Nick's text.

"Hey bitch! Haven't seen you in a while. Wanna do something today?" Nick's text read causing me to giggle.

"What?" Shawn asks and I just simply pass him the phone and he just shakes his head with a light chuckle.

"Nick and his random texts," Shawn says, shaking his head, handing my phone back to me.

"Who's Nick?" Says Geoff with an eyebrow raised.

Shawn and I made eye contact for a split second and we silently decided to mess with the guys. Shawn gets my hint and nods at me.

"Oh, he's my boyfriend..." I say and all the guys mouths drop. Shawn and I start laughing a belly rolling laugh.

"Wait! Hey! That's not nice!" Jake says catching on that we lied to them. They all started realizing that we were just messing with them.

"No, I don't have a boyfriend. Nick is one of my best friends," I laughed explaining to them.

"Well at least we're off the hook for a prank..." Geoff says and Shawn just looks at him.

"You're never off the hook with her," Shawn says and Geoff gulps.

"Oh believe me I'm more evil then I look when it comes to pranks!" I say and they all look like they've started to sweat.

"She is! One time she locked me and Nick in her elevator! We were unable to get out for a while," Shawn says and all the guys eyes widen.

"A sweet girl like you did that?!" Matt says, causing me to giggle and nod.

"Thanks for the compliment, but I'm not as sweet as I put off all the time. I do have an evil pranking side," I say. I giggle when they all just kinda shrug it off, trying not to get on my bad side.

I texted Nick back.

Text:

Heyy boo 💙 yeah! We definitely should. I'm currently meeting Shawn's team right now. So I'll text you when I'm on my way home so we can meet there!

He texted back and agreed with me.

After a few hours of getting to know everyone, it started to get dark.

Slowly but surely everyone started leaving. Until it was just Shawn and I.

"Sooo what did you think? It wasn't that bad right??" Shawn asked as he moved his body facing me on the couch. His arm leaning on the couch, his elbow supporting his face that his palm was holding.

I looked back at him.

"You're right. I should've trusted you. It wasn't bad. I was just overthinking," I laughed.

"It's all good. I would've been nervous too," He said.

"So, it's just us now," I say looking at the empty room.

"Yeah," He said.

We both embraced the comfortable silence.

"Nice place you got. It's cute," I say examining the place.

Shawn stood up and I looked at him weirdly.

"Come on," He said, reaching out for my hand.

"What are you doing, silly?" I say reluctantly standing up, holding his huge hand.

"I'm gonna show you around. A tour of my place." He says,

"So you already know this place, the basement. This is like my man cave. Every time I have a lot of people over we just chill here," He says motioning his arms in a circle.

"Now come on, let's go upstairs to where you came in from the front door," Shawn fastly says.

He leads me up the stairs while holding the palm of my hand. I blushed and looked down.

Uggh! The butterflies he gives me! It makes me wanna jump on him and just smash my lips to his, but I can't can I? No, that would be insanely inappropriate. We're just friends, that's it.

"So this is the living room. I have these creme couches facing my tv. Then we walk here to where the kitchen/dining area is," He said walking fast. I quietly observed the place letting him do all the talking. I enjoyed this moment. It was us, me and him. No one else. He was holding my hand, like there was nothing else in the world.

"So this is the living room. I have these creme couches facing my tv. Then we walk here to where the kitchen/dining area is," He said walking fast. I quietly observed the place letting him do all the talking. I enjoyed this moment. It was us, me and him. No one else. He was holding my hand, like there was nothing else in the world.

He led me up to the upstairs.

"This is my bathroom, and my closet. And finally this is my room. It has this amazing view of LA. It's so beautiful. Look come here," He says leading me to a balcony.

The fresh wind hit me. I looked out at the dark night sky.

"It's beautiful out here Shawn. This is an amazing place to write music," I say looking at him.

"Yeah it is. Also I just wanna say how beautiful you look! Like the moon is shining on your beautiful hair and face. You look straight out of a movie," He said examining me.

"Awww Shawn. You're so sweet! Whoever ends up with you as their husband is a very lucky woman." I say, my heart breaking knowing that it won't be me.

"Well the only woman I see tonight is you!" He says and he pushes me out then pulls me in and starts to sway for a few minutes.  

My heart skipped a beat when he said that.

"Shawn, why are we dancing there's no music playing," I ask and look up at his tall figure. I smiled at him and hugged him as he hugged me close just swaying back and forth for a bit.

"You don't always need music to dance....." he says trailing off as he just sways a little more.

I swear when I hugged him and was in his arms just swaying I saw bright flashes. But I ignored it, just wanting to focus on being in his arms for the small time being.

We slowly come to a stop and just look out over the view again.

"Hey? You wanna come over at mine? I just remembered I told Nick I'd meet him tonight. Maybe you can sleep over?" I suggested looking up at him, not letting go of this hug.

His arms were wrapped around my waist and my arms under his shoulders. He towered over me, face on top of my head.

I looked up at him, our faces were close to each other.

I could just kiss him right here right now...... no don't you dear. You don't want to lose him.

"Yeah sure," He said letting go of the hug. "Let me just go get some pjs!" He said going into his closet and grabbing a small backpack, to only put some things in I'm assuming.

As he's in the bathroom I closed his balcony's sliding door and lay my head against it with a small sigh.

What were you thinking?! Uggh!

I then go and sit on his bed and wait patiently for him to be ready to go.

Poisonpuff (Papyrus/Razz)

It’s my first try at this ship, I don’t know what I’m doing, and I’m blaming @ollie-oxen-free and @itsladykit for this.

Also that’s a very good shipname. I really like the sound and form of it. It’s soft.

Razz couldn’t stand crying. He absolutely couldn’t. Tears were a sign of weakness. Not only of body, but of mind. Truthfully, it was weakness he hated. When someone cried it was only evidence of something worse. Of being undeserving to live, because strength was the only thing that counted in Swapfell. Of body, or of mind. Cry – then, moments later, only dust would remain.

When he and his brother had been babybones, Papyrus had been a crybaby. First, neither of them had known any better. Children had a certain protection, even in a world like theirs. Children were precious, adored. As they grew older, though, as Razz came into his teens, he had realized how dangerous, how disgusting, the action was. Needless to say, he had made sure his baby brother had learnt the lesson quickly. He wasn’t going to risk his brother’s life by allowing waterworks and loud sobs.

Now, though, when he stood in the doorway and watched silent tears run down Undertale Papyrus cheeks, he didn’t feel any revolt over the orange streaks down the other’s cheek. No loathing. A desire to make it stop, yes, but not out of a hatred for the action. It was simply because he didn’t want to see the other hurting. Not strong, positive, loving Papyrus. Who, as much as Razz detested to admit it, was stronger than he could ever be. It took so much more strength to stay positive and kind in the face of darkness than it took to let it devour you and turn you dark as well. And Razz had let him meet a lot of darkness since they met. He never held back his own, after all.          

His heels clicked against the floorboards as he walked toward his brother’s alternate. Flinching at the unexpected noise, Papyrus looked up. He quickly dried away the tears on his cheeks, forcing a bright smile on his face. Razz blinked in surprise. Woah. If he hadn’t known Papyrus was upset he wouldn’t have been able to tell.

“CUT THE CRAP,” he said, marching over to the other and glaring at the other. A look of anxiety flickered over Papyrus’ face for a brief second before disappearing again.

“RAZZ! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?” Papyrus replied, wide eyed and seemingly honest. It was brilliant, how genuinely confused he appeared.

Razz scowled, looming over the other. The only reason he could was that Papyrus was sitting down on the couch, but he was going to make use of his height advantage when he could. Growling slightly, he grabbed Papyrus’ sleeve, showcasing the tearstains on it.

“WHO DO I NEED TO HURT?” was all he bothered to give as an answer. Immediately, the faked cheer fell and Papyrus sagged. Yet, he held Razz’s gaze. Through the tears starting to well up again he shook his head.

“DON’T HURT ANYONE,” he basically ordered, and kept the eye contact. Razz opened his mouth to protest, but was cut off before he could get a word out. “NO. VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER TO THIS.”

Grumbling, Razz sat down and slowly nodded. A smile lit up Papyrus’ face through the tears. His soul skipped a beat at that, and he couldn’t stop the twitching of the corner of his mouth. Patiently he waited for the other to talk.

It took a while. The other was quiet in his crying, much quieter than Slim’s loud blubbering when they were little. He mostly seemed exhausted rather than sad, if Razz was being honest. Finally, he sighed and averted his eyes.

“THERE’S JUST A LOT GOING ON. BEING AN AMBASSADOR IS FUN, BUT IT’S VERY TOUGH. SOME OF THE PEOPLE I MEET DON’T REALLY LIKE MONSTERS, FOR WHATEVER REASON. AND THEN THERE’S JUST A SMALL THINGS HAPPENING ALL AT ONCE AND IT GOT TOO MUCH.”

Sighing, Razz nodded. He could relate. Sometimes his job as the Lieutenant of the Guard and Snowdin Head just got… too much. He worked ceaselessly, always, just like he knew Papyrus did. And eventually, even their almost limitless energy would run out. Yet neither ever stopped working, and neither did Blue or Fell. They were all the same in that way.

With the prejudice monsters still faced on the Surface, he supposed it was even worse. At least no one in Swapfell, except for Alphys and Her Majesty of course, dared question the Magnifient and Malicious Sans, Lieutenant of the Royal Guard and a Favourite of the Queen’s. Papyrus had to deal with humans all day almost every day, sometimes even on his days off because they’d needed him. And, just like Razz, he wouldn’t hesitate to hurry to his office despite having free time for once.

“WELL,” Razz eventually commented, surpressing the singing in his veins to have someone pay for making someone as bright as Papyrus hurt. “I NEED SOME TIME AWAY FROM THE IMBECILES IN THE GUARD. I SUPPOSE YOUR COMPANY IS PREFERABLE, EVEN IF YOU ARE AN IDIOT. WANT TO COOK?”

After a moment of silence, Papyrus smiled at him again. This time, there was more happy than sad in it, and it made Razz’s soul feel warm. It was a pleasant feeling, if foreign. Then, Razz froze as warm arms wrapped themselves around him and embraced him tightly. For a while, he wasn’t sure how to react while he sat pressed against the taller’s ribcage. Razz eventually let out a chuckle, softer than he’d expected, and coaxed his own arms out from where they were trapped between them, embracing Papyrus back.

“YES PLEASE,” Papyrus breathed into his skull. The air tickled Razz’s neck beneath his scarf. “THANK YOU.”

Fighting a purple blush, Razz stared at the letter V on Papyrus’ shirt.

“DON’T MENTION IT, CREAMPUFF.”

Really, don’t was implied, and Papyrus nodded in understanding. Razz had started out hating Papyrus for his everlasting brightness and kindness. He didn’t anymore, despite his best efforts. Didn’t mean that he wanted people to know.

Slim, Red and Fell would never let it go if they found out the Malicious Razz had a soft spot for this ray of sunshine.

Race threw his bag on the floor before he sat down next to Spot. The library was empty during lunch break, except for them two. Spot was already working on his iPad.

“Okay, I’m glad Specs and Romeo are finally a thing, but they already make me sick.” Race complained as he leaned back, watching the iPad over Spot’s shoulder.

“I had to drag Specs off Romeo, so we weren’t late for maths this morning,” Spot said as he edited the layout of their word document. “Okay, we only have to do the last checks and it’s ready to hand in.” with those words he handed Race the iPad.

“It looks good, I didn’t know you were good with layouts.” Race said as he scrolled through their project. It had the be the longest project he ever worked on, pages filled with text and most of it wasn’t bullshit. He couldn’t deny he was sort of proud of it. “If he doesn’t give us a good grade I will throw a desk at his face.”

“I would like to see you try.”

“Go fuck yourself, Conlon.”

“Rather have you fuck me.”

Race almost dropped the iPad, causing the other boy to start laughing. Race started muttering something about truly deeply hating the boy, handing back the iPad. The other boy was still chuckling as he took the iPad, placing it on the table.

“I’ll send you the file, so you can do a final check before I hand it in. Pulitzer is expecting it on Wednesday,” Spot said, turning in his chair to face Race, who nodded.

“You want to come over and study on Wednesday?” Race then said, his fingers drumming on his thigh.

“We already handed in the project by then,” Spot said, frowning as he was confused.

“Yeah, I know.”

“Oh, sure.” Spot shrugged. He watched how Race moved, the boy looked almost nervously like he was afraid Spot would decline. “I would like to,” he assured the boy, grabbing his hand, which was still drumming, softly in a way to make the boy less nervous. Race looked up, meeting Spot’s gaze.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know how to do this thing,” Race explained, resisting the extreme urge to pull his hand back, even though he liked the feeling when Spot touched him.

“It’s okay. Just tell me what you want, and we’ll be fine.” Spot reassured him. The loud bell announcing the end of the break made Race jump up, pulling his hand out of Spot’s grip. “I’ve got maths,” he explained as he picked up his back. “Weasel kills me when I’m late.”

“Yeah, I’m just goin’ to suffer in computer science.” Spot shrugged, shoving his iPad in his backpack. Race nodded, waiting shortly for the boy to finish packing and leaving the library together. Where Race went right, Spot took a left turn. Race hurried down the hall, as his math’s classroom was on the other side of the building. When he arrived, he dropped on the chair next to Romeo.

“You were snogging Conlon again?” Romeo asked, a playful tone in his question. The boy did not look up from his phone which he hid under his desk. His screen was showing his texts to Romeo. Race was about to throw up.

“I don’t snog Conlon.” He hissed, taking out his books right before Weasel entered, immediately starting class.

“You’ve never spent this much time on a project.”

“It’s because if we fail, we might not pass History and I can’t be stuck at high school for another year,”

“Okay, quit the bullshit Race.” Romeo hissed, making sure Weasel would not tell them off for talking. “Something is bothering you and I’m pretty sure it has to do with Conlon. You’ve been.. off since you started working with him, more specifically since Jack’s party. What is wrong?”

“Oh, piss off,” Race mumbled. “It’s nothing. I’m just happy when school is over.”

“You are a dirty liar, Anthony.”

“I learned from the best.”

“I wouldn’t call Jack the best,” Romeo smirked, leaning back in his chair so he could glance down on his phone again.

“Mister Higgins and Mister Russo, if I hear any of you two again, you’re both up for a week of detention,” Weasel warned them. Both muttered an apologize before shutting up.

“Specs said Spot is quite okay,” Romeo muttered after a few minutes.

“Oh, shut up, dickhead.”

“Anthony! Albert is here!” Race’s mom called out. The blonde boy quickly grabbed the backpack that was stalled out on his bed, shoving his last stuff in their before heading downstairs.

“I’ll see you tomorrow, mom,” he said as he grabbed his jacket from the coat hanger, closing the front door behind him.

“You excited?” Albert asked, shoving his hands in his pockets, he was wearing a jean jacket and his backpack. His red hair hidden under his usual cap. Race shrugged, putting on his jacket before he shoved the backpack on his bag. “You’re regretting inviting Conlon?” Albert’s shoulder nudged Race’s.

“Nah, I just hope not too many people will show up, like Tyler’s party last year. That was way too crowded.”

“We’re not that cool, don’t worry.”

“yeah, well there will be beer, so there will be people wanting free beer.”

Jack’s house was not that far away, it was a twenty-minute walk through a quiet neighbourhood. When they arrived, everyone was already there. Romeo was sprawled out on the couch with Mush sitting on the floor before it. Jack and Davey were in the kitchen and Crutchie was the one opening the door for them.

“Bags can go in my room!” Jack called out from the kitchen as he heard Albert and Race greeting the other boys. The two boys quickly went upstairs to drop their bags, returning downstairs when Katherine appeared from the basement, holding three bottles of whisky.

“Oh great, you guys are here. Suddenly I need my drink now.”

“Always good to see you, Kath,” Albert smiled before heading into the living room, dropping himself on the couch next to Romeo, who immediately placed his legs over Al’s lap.

Race sat down next to Mush on the floor, crossing his legs. “There is pizza in the kitchen if you want,” Mush said, a smile on his lips.

“Thanks,” Race smiled back. Crutchie sat down, placing his crutch again the chair.

“Oh, I got some news,” He said when Jack, Davey and Katherine walked into the living room, placing down multiple glasses on the table. Everyone looked up to Crutchie, who was smiling bright. “I’m getting a brace for my foot and ankle and a small cane. The doctor thinks it’s possible for me to walk without my crutch, and maybe in the future without the cane,” he explained.

“That is great!” Davey smiled, sitting down on one of the other chairs, Jack sitting on the arm rest of the chair. Katherine said down on the floor opposite from Mush and Race

“I’m not goin’ call you Bracie,” Romeo shrugged, his own way of congratulating Crutchie.

“What Romeo is trying to say, that is amazing, Crutchie,” Mush spoke.

“We should drink to this!” Jack reached out to grab two glasses, giving one to Davey. He urged everybody to get a glass. “It’s a gin-tonic,” he explained when Mush looked a bit suspicious to the clear liquid in the glass. When everyone had a glass, Jack held his high in the air. “To Crutchie, who soon can’t be called Crutchie anymore, but we will figure that out later!” Everyone made agreeing sounds, raising their glasses high, before drinking from it.

Crutchie smiled bright when he sat down his glass on the table.

By the time they finished their first drinks, more people showed up. The living room soon got crowdy and people started to spread out to the kitchen. Music was blasting from the stereo.

Race had moved to the hallway, leaning against the wall as he talked with Blink, both a half full cup in their hands. Mush had left his boyfriend for a bit to help Davey with snacks.

“Hey Spot!” Blink called out when he saw his friend entering the house. He softly patted Race’s shoulder as a way to say goodbye before he headed to Spot.

Race shrugged, walking back to the living room. Romeo had dragged Jack’s bean bags from his room and dropped them in a corner, where he now was sitting with Albert.

“Did Elmer really bring his tap shoes?” Race asked, dropping himself next to the two boys.

Romeo nodded, downing his glass.

“Isn’t it adorable. Look how good he is,” Albert sighed. If the empty cup in front of the bags were from the two boys, it explained how Albert was so publicly swooning over Elmer.

“Please don’t drool,” Romeo sighed, nudging Albert’s shoulder, almost falling over on his lap.

“If any of you two throw up, tonight. I’m cleaning it with your clothes for tomorrow,” Race sighed, downing his cups with beer and placing it on the floor next to the rest.

“First of all, I’m not drunk, Anthony. Second of all, I’m getting refills,” Romeo pushed himself up from the bean bag, surprisingly steady, heading towards the kitchen.

“He is drunk,” Albert said, his eyes still on Elmer, you could tell the boy was drunk, or at least very close to being drunk, but he still tap-danced like a pro. A group of people was cheering for him.

“Just go ask him out,” Race suggested, his eyes moving from Albert, to Elmer and back.

“I can’t. He is drunk. I’m drunk. He’ll think it’s a joke or that I don’t mean it,” Albert sighed, letting him fall backwards on the bean bag.

“Al, you are so overthinking this. He likes you, you like him. It’s not that complicated.”

“How do you know he likes me? Did he say anything?”

Race sighed, dropping himself next to Albert. “No, but it’s obvious. You should see the way he looks at you,”

“Scoot over, love birds,” Romeo called out, barely managing to hold three cups in his hand. Both boys moaned irritated when they sat up straight, making place for Romeo, who handed them their cups.

“Romeo, are you okay?” Race asked when he noticed how his friend’s hand was slightly shaking.

“Oh, everything is okay. Specs is making out with some girl in the kitchen. I’m fine. Just goin’ drink my heartbreak away.”

“He is doing, what now?” Albert asked, almost dropping his cup.

“Just making out with someone else. Maybe I should’ve mentioned to him that this was a date.” Romeo sighed, almost downing his cup in one go.

“Okay, you’re not going to drink yourself into a coma, Romeo. It must be a mistake or something.” Race leaned over Albert to grab Romeo’s arm, softly. “He’s like drunk or stoned. I don’t know.”

“I don’t know. I don’t care. There are enough boys on this planet for me. I’ll find my Julien. I don’t him with his stupid glasses and smile and beautiful eyes and sexy voice.”

Race and Albert exchanged a look, both filled with worry for their friend, both unsure what to do now.

“It’s goin’ be alright, Romeo,” Albert promised.

The library was empty during lunch break on Tuesday. It was the week of Jack’s party and the entire group was getting more hyped every day. But the current situation was Race and Spot sitting in the abandoned library to work on their project. Neither would normally be this dedicated to a project, but since Pulitzer hated both of them, they needed to make it the best thing they had ever written just to get a pass. And they both needed a good grade desperately. Besides both had after-school activities so every bit of time they could spend on the project during school, was already good.

“Do you think he will be pissed if we don’t use those scholar sources?” Race asked, his head resting on his hand as he started to the computer screen.

“Definitely, he’s goin’ treat it like a fucking college essay,” Spot was scrolling on his iPad, his feet resting on the table. Even the librarian was out for lunch, so there was no one to tell them off for talking to loud or putting your feet on shit. Race wondered if she had dared to leave if it was him and Albert.

“According to Google, the best job I can get without a high school diploma is McDonalds manager, that doesn’t sound so bad.”

“Okay, first of all. You are supposed to look up sources for our project, not your future plans. Second, how do you become a manager without a study? Don’t you need to do a special manager study for it?” Spot pushed himself up a bit, his eyes moved from his iPad to Race.

“The recruitment page for McDonalds claims you can follow their McDonalds academy. It sounds really good exactly,” Race’s eyes were focused on the text on the screen.

Spot was about to ask more before he softly shake his head. “Race, focus,” he warned, his attention moving back to his iPad. “I wish we could print without having to ask Miss Carter,” he sighed. “I can’t figure out how to highlight text on this thing.”

“About that printer ban,” Race kept his eyes on his screen, fighting every urge to look at Spot.

“Don’t tell me it’s because of you.”

“Also, Albert,” the blonde boy defended himself.

“People say it’s because people printed out pictures of dicks and shoved them in the mailbox of the principal.”

“That is not true,” Race said. “Though that is an amazing idea, I should’ve thought of that,” He moved a bit on his chair to be able to see Spot better. “We printed out every weird Harry Potter smut on Tumblr and shoved it in Jack’s locker. We repeated it when Davey joined our group.”

“You really are fucking crazy, aren’t you?” Spot leaned back in his chair, his eyes moving between his iPad and Race.

“Crazy and proud,” he stated.

“I was almost forgetting I hated you, thanks for reminding me,” Spot shrugged, his eyes back on his iPad.

“I’m growing on you, aren’t I, Conlon?” Race pushed his chair a bit away from the computer, completely focused on the other boy with a self-indulgent smirk on his lips.

“Don’t get full of yourself, Higgins. You are still a little shit,”

The bell rang loudly through the library, announcing the end of the lunch break and the start of the next class. Race and Spot both got up from their chairs, shoving their belongings in their backpacks.

“Hey Spot,” Race stopped the boy who was already on his way out. Spot turned on his heels, shoving his backpack over his shoulder. “Jack has a party this Saturday.”

“So, I heard.”

“Since Blink and Specs are coming, I was wondering if you wanted to come as well. Seems rude to invite only half of a group,” Race shoved his hands in his pockets, shifting his weight from foot to foot.

“Sure, sounds fun,’ Spot shrugged before he turned around again. “See ya tomorrow,” he said as he left the library.

“Anthony Higgins!” Romeo entered the library, arms crossed before his chest. “Did you just invite Spot Conlon, the boy you hate with all your heart, to Jack’s party? Spot Conlon?!”

“Fuck off, Romeo,” Race growled, picking up his bag from the table. “He’s not that bad, and we invited his friends. How would you feel when we all go to a party and you’re not invited?”

“But this is Spot Conlon. The boy who threatened to hit you with a baseball bat when we were eleven,” Romeo already pushed himself up to sit on a table, leaning back so he was basically lounging.

“We need to get to class, Romeo.”

 “Jack, this is the last time I’m allowing you in here during drama club,” Medda warned when Jack strutted over the stage, dropping next to Albert on a bean bag. The school had picked Into The Woods as the musical for this year, completely ignoring any request from Medda or the drama club. But they were getting used to it. Medda was helping Davey and Crutchie with picking out audition songs and monologue’s. Being a part of drama club meant you would be guaranteed of a spot in the production, but your audition would determine which part. And Medda was hard to impress.

“So, who is coming over this Saturday?” Jack asked, shifting in his seat.

“I invited Blink, he really enjoyed when we all went to dinner,” Mush stated, sitting on the floor with his legs crossed.

“Romeo asked Specs and Ruby. Kath asked Sarah, very surprising. I asked Elmer,” Race could see how Albert’s head turned towards him, his eyes narrowed. “Eliza and Spot.” Race continued. “Smalls and Mike are not sure if they are coming, but we made clear they are welcome.”

“Wait, you invited who?” Albert asked as he slowly sat straight on the bean bag.

“Elmer.”

“And?”

“Eliza.”

“And?” Albert’s voice got more pressing.

“Spot.”

“Are you out of your mind?” Jack objected.

“We invited his friends, it’s seemed fair.” Race explained. He made sure to straighten his back, trying hard to not show the doubt he had over his earlier decision.

“If he ruins the party, I know where to find you, Race,” Jack warned, his eyes dark.
