Can I get an MC who just pulls out a cross and holds it infront of the brothers whenever they do something sus?

-anon chan

A/N: This is too hilarious 😭 I apologize in advance, I didn't really understand what you meant by "sus" so I skipped that part 🥲 (There are many types of sus, okay? Fruity sus, creepy sus, etc.)

Also, I've done some research to find out whether a cross would actually scare off a demon or not. Some say yes, some say no, so I've decided to go with 'no'. I hope you'll like it, anon chan <3

╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╮

Lucifer

❀ He furrows his eyebrows in confusion when you pull out the cross

❀ "MC... put that crucifix down."

❀ He doesn't know what you are trying to achieve with that

❀ After all, a crucifix doesn't do harm to a demon at least not to such a powerful one like him

Mammon

❀ "Oi! What are ya pointin' this at?"

❀ He doesn't get what you're doing

❀ He actually feels a bit hurt

❀ Do you really want him to stay away from you with that cross?

❀ He knows it's not gonna work, but still

Leviathan

❀ He doesn't understand what you're doing, pulling out the cross like that

❀ But then it clicks

❀ He's rather amused

❀ "This is hilarious LOL!"

❀ He has seen videos of the human realm, of course he'll understand it

❀ Just give him a second to figure it out, okay?

Satan

❀ He raises an eyebrow at you

❀ Where'd you get that cross from?

❀ "You do know that a crucifix doesn't work on demons, right?"

❀ If he's in a good mood, he'll find it a bit funny

❀ If he's not... well, prepare to apologize profusely

Asmodeus

❀ He tilts his head while smiling at you, looking all adorable and such

❀ "MC, dear, this cross doesn't work on demons like me~"

❀ He thinks it's cute how you stand there with that cross

❀ He'll probably take that crucifix out of your hand and do a manicure or something else

Beelzebub

❀ He thinks you want to give it to him

❀ So he takes it

❀ Maybe he'll even eat it if he doesn't look at the cross

❀ "Thanks, MC."

❀ Prevent him from eating the cross, please

Belphegor

❀ He somehow knows that this is a joke a lot of humans do

❀ If he doesn't actually feel sleepy, he'll pretend that the crucifix works, only to snatch it out of your hand and tell you that it's no weapon against a demon like him

❀ If he's sleepy, he'll go back to sleep. He doesn't really care lol

[cyborg-franky]

Hey Franky! Hope you're doing well! Can I please request Ace, Marco and somebody of your choosing crushing HARD on a reader who has a lovely singing voice? Like they humm, sing and chant constantly and sometimes go full diva? Maybe the boys listen for the nth time to their favourite song and realise "Shit, I'm in love"? I hope you stay happy and hydrated, cheers!

I have a similar-ish one with Marco here also I am doing okay <3 thank you dear and please enjoy!

Marco

He loves when you sing.

He will be sitting at his desk working and hear your voice drift in through the open window.

Marco likes when you sit in his office and sing, perched on the edge of his desk singing softly to him as he works away.

You make his day go faster.

He closes his eyes, lips curled into a serene smile as he taps the end of his pen in time with the tune if he recognises it.

Nothing makes the doctor happier than listening to you perform a private show for him, a light summer breeze flowing through the window.

Something about it fills his heart.

Marco will always watch you with half-lidded eyes, filled with such fondness.

He knew he had it bad for you, but he thought he was too old for crushes.

But it felt like you were singing for him every time you sang.

You’d ask the phoenix if there was anything he’d like to hear, any song that he wanted.

He hummed in thought, leaning back in his chair and watching your face for a reaction.

“There’s nothing I’d like to hear more than you saying yes to going to dinner with me, yoi.” Marco’s bright blue eyes met yours, the cheeky smile tugging his lips.

“How about it, Songbird?”

Ace

Whenever he was in a mood nothing brought him out of it faster than you singing to him or around him.

The way your voice soothed him, how his sour expression was wiped off his face and he would sit there and listen.

The first time he’d heard you was when he was still new, still trying to kill Whitebeard.

His hands were tugging at his hair as he scowled across the deck, seething, boiling under the surface.

Body as bruised as his ego.

You’d not been phased by the sulking Ace sat on the floor as you’d passed singing a sea shanty you’d picked up from Thatch.

Ace’s heartbeat had skipped, his eyes followed after you, listening to the chipper song.

“Oh, fuck.” He winced when he felt something inside him, something intense.

It had been love at first sight, well, listen?

Ever since that day Ace has loved hearing you sing, wishing you would sing for him and only him one day.

“wife”

pairing: corpse husband x reader (female)

words: 1,714

requested?: no (send some in tho pls :) )

plot/summary: felix invites his friend, y/n, to play among us when they need an extra player. her and corpse get along well

authors note: so this isnt that good and i know a lot of corpse fics use a similar plot. i just wanted to try to write for corpse. hopefully things i write for him in the future are better. let me know what you think tho! also i really wanted reader to be best friends with karl bc i love him sm. uh every swiggly line is like a small time skip. this was written late at night btw and i didnt take much time to go over it

⭒☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆⭒

You sat up from laying down when you heard your phone ring. You looked at the caller ID.

Felix.

"What's up Felix?" You ask with a small yawn.

"Aww, how sweet," You hear in the background.

You giggle and ask, "Is that Sean? Hi Sean!"

"Yeah, we're playing Among Us and need an extra player. You down?" Felix explained.

"Sure, just give me a few minutes. See you soon, whore"

"Bitc-" You hang up before he can finish.

You got up and turned off your TV, going to get ready. 

⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒

You quickly tweet out that you're going live and say something on your insta story as well. You start your stream and slowly watch people flood in.

"Hey everyone! How are you guys doing?" You wave and smile, reading the chat.

"Everyone doing good, awesome! And i'm sorry to anyone having a bad day. I hope i can brighten it a bit!"

"Okay, sorry i didn't give you a further notice. I didn't even know i was gonna stream. Felix invited me to play Among Us so... here we are!"

You quickly join the discord and pull up the game, putting a cover over where the code goes.

"Hello?" You ask as you join the call. A chorus of greetings came your way.

"(Y/n)?"

"Karl!" You smile brightly.

Karl Jacobs was a good friend of yours. You would play on the Dream SMP sometimes. When you would, it would mostly be you being stupid with Karl and Alex, also known as Quackity. You were even a well know citizen of El Rapids.

"LET'S GOOOOO!" He yelled, making you laugh.

"Hey (Y/n), do you know everyone here?" Sean asks you.

"Um," You quickly scan through the names, "no, i don't think so."

You recognized names but you only personally knew Felix, Sean, Karl, and Ethan.

"Oh my god! Your voice is so cute!" Pokimane exclaims.

You giggle softly, "Thank you Poki!"

You're voice wasn't high pitched or anything like that, you just always spoke very softly and calmly. You were also a bit quiet.

Felix introduces you to those that you didn't know.

"There's one more person we're waiting for," He says.

While everyone waits, you and Karl run around each other's little characters and make jokes between yourselves. You mute yourself to read donations every once in a while.

You hear the discord chime, signaling that someone joined the call.

"WAIT CORPSE! DON'T SPEAK YET!" Felix yelled. "We have a new player. This is my friend (Y/n), say hi to her"

"Hello (Y/n)," Corpse said. You were taken aback by how deep his voice was but you didn't show it.

"Hi Corpse! Nice to meet you!" You said happily.

"Okay, how is she not freaking out?" Bretman said, making everyone laugh.

"Uh, (Y/n), do you mind letting me have black? It's cool if not.." Corpse asked gently.

"O-oh sure, no problem." You were usually black with the pink flamingo hat, but you ran over to the little computer and changed your color.

"Simp," Ethan mumbled, knowing you never switch from black.

"Thank you," He said, then the game started.

The word “Imposter” appeared on your screen in red, yours and Corpse's characters underneath.

As the game started, you thought no one could hear you so you spoke to your chat. "His voice was so deep, what the fuck? Holy shit that was hot, i'm gonna-"

"(Y/n)," Rae laughed, "You know we're playing proximity chat, right."

You blushed as you realized and said "Ha, anyways..." and ran to start faking tasks.

You ended up in electrical with Karl. "(Y/n)! My good friend, my buddy, you would never kill me right? Haha..." He said.

"Of course not, Karl! My good friend, my buddy. Why, I'm not even imposter," I said as i quickly dipped into the vent and back out, making him laugh.

I decided to show him because I knew Karl wouldn't say anything, and it's funny.

"Oh that's good then. Are you sure you're not imposter?"

"Mhm, pretty sure," You said, going back in. As you came out, Sykkuno walked in and froze.

"Uh, (Y/n)?"

"Fuck... Karl run! Go!" You said, Karl starting to leave. You walked closer and quickly killed Sykkuno then vented to security.

"That was close..." You told your chat.

You saw Corpse as you made your way around the map and walked into navigation.

"Hey, Corpse, how ya doing?"

"Ah you know, good. Just being crewmate and all."

You stifled a laugh, "Oh yeah I feel that, buddy."

"Yeah because there's no way that i'm imposter. No way i could be faking tasks and there's no possible way you could be the other imposter" He said quickly.

"For sure. Hypothetically speaking, though, if you were imposter, how many people would you have killed by now?"

"I would say probably around two."

"Interesting," You said right before a body was reported. It was Sykkuno's. Felix and Rae were also dead.

"WHAT!" Corpse yelled.

"Where was the body at?" Sean laughed.

"Uh I found it in electrical," Bretman said.

"I'm pretty sure Karl was in there earlier."

You calmly said, "It's not Karl, I was with him for most of the round."

"How do we know the two of you aren't imposters?" Sean asked.

"I was alone with him, he would have taken the chance to kill me."

"No, he's your best friend."

"He's also ruthless,"

"TRUE! SO TRUE!" Karl yelled.

"So skip?" Corpse asked.

Everyone agreed and the voting was skipped.

The next round, I spent with Ethan. He was pretending to be mad at me because Sean said Karl was my best friend.

"What happened to Blue Boi Buddies, huh?!" He exclaimed.

"Neither of our hair is even blue anymore!" You argued back.

You were in reactor with him when Corpse and Poki walked in. He hit the lights and you took it as a sign to double kill. He killed Poki, you killed Ethan, and the two of you made your way to electrical to help fix lights.

You and Corpse went the opposite direction of reactor after the lights were fixed, Karl going with you.

Poki's body was reported. That double kill only left you, Corpse, Sean, Karl and Bretman. You only needed two more kills.

"I still think it's Karl and (Y/n)," Sean said quickly.

"I was with (Y/n) the whole time," Corpse said, "In fact, I think it's you."

"That does make sense. Why so quick to accuse others, Sean?" You ask.

"It's not me!" He yelled.

"I actually agree with Corpse and (Y/n)," Bretman said.

"I was with you!"

We all voted for Sean, him voting for Karl. Sean was ejected.

When you load into spawn, you wait for the kill cool down and kill Bretman, saving Karl.

"Victory" appeared on your screen.

"God damn it!" Sean yelled.

"Good job, (Y/n)," Corpse said lowly.

You smiled, a slight blush on your cheeks, "You too Corpse."

"Their voices go together and they're a fuckin dream team? What have i done...," Felix sighed.

⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒

A few more games went by. Most of them you and Corpse spent together, whether you were both crewmates or if one of you was imposter.

You really enjoyed his company and you actually got along with him pretty well.

⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒

"(Y/n), before we get serious, I have one question to ask you." Corpse said as both of your characters stopped.

"What's that?" You giggled.

"Do you know Bingus?"

"Bingus? As in, our lord and savior, Bingus?"

You could hear the smile in his voice, "It's settled, you're my wife now."

This made both of you laugh and your chat go crazy.

⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒

Eventually, people had to start leaving. You said your goodbyes to everyone and left the discord call and the game.

You set stream to where it was just your face cam.

"Guys, what should we do now?"

You saw some people asking what time it was for you.

"It's 3 AM right now... I’m not tired though.” You had been streaming for a few hours; You never even noticed how late it got.

People in chat were yelling at you to go to sleep, making you chuckle.

“How about we do a quick QnA, then at 3:30 I go to bed. Deal?”

You watched as the chat filled with questions. They obviously seemed to like the idea.

“‘Who is your best friend? Karl or Ethan?’ Neither, Alex Quackity. Next question.” You answered quickly.

You laughed, “I’d like to clarify that that’s a joke, i love all my friends equally.”

You answered more questions. Some were from new viewers asking basic questions, some were about future streams and videos. 

“‘How do you feel about people shipping you and Corpse?’“ People are already shipping us?” You laughed, “I’ve said before that I’m okay with shipping, as long as the other person is too. I think it’s funny.”

You continued to read chat. “Wait, we’re trending?”

You checked Twitter and “#(your and corpse’s ship name)” was trending in the US.

You laughed as you scrolled through the tag, “Oh this is so funny.”

“Fanart already?! You guys are so talented!”

You read chat, looking for more questions. You saw people telling you that it’s 3:30.

“Okay fine, a deal’s a deal. I hope you all have, or had, a great day and I’ll see you guys later. Depending on what time it is for you, you should also get some sleep. Stay hydrated, love you!” You ended stream.

⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒

You scrolled through Twitter as you laid in bed, liking fanart and dumb memes. Also replying to a few of your friends’ tweets.

karl :) @/KarlJacobs_

@/(your username) what the honk ?

*clip of you saying Quackity was your best friend*           

You liked the tweet and replied, “karl no,,, look away,,,”

You continued scrolling, feeling your eyes get droopy. Your eyes fell closed but quickly opened when your phone vibrated. It was a DM. 

From Corpse.

You two had followed each other earlier.

Corpse: hey (y/n), just wanted to say you’re really cool and i’d love to play again with you soon 

You smiled, a light blush spreading across your cheeks, and replied.

You: i’d love to, corpse

Corpse: ok, see you soon ‘wife’

You: back at ya, ‘husband”

Corpse: :)

You: :)

[sugasugawarau]

The Good Life: Chapter 3

Hello, my lovelies! This chapter has been sitting nearly-finished for well over a week now, but the last two weeks for me have been absolute shit and it’s been hard enough keeping up with daily life and what’s going on in the real world, let alone finding time to edit this chapter and/or post regularly, so please forgive me! This story is just starting to pick up and work closer towards all the fun stuff we’ve all been waiting for, so I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

Need to get caught up? The Good Life: Ch1 and Ch2

The Good Life: Chapter 3

Rae logged off of her computer and waited for it to shut off before standing up from her desk chair and stretching her legs after having been sitting down at work for most of the day.

“So, any fun plans for the weekend?” Rae asked.

“Yes, actually!” Anna replied, “I’m meeting a group of people at the pub for drinks once everyone gets off work in a couple hours.”

“Oh! That should be fun!”

“You’re totally welcome to join us as well, if you’d like. It’s gonna be a bunch of people from work and I think most people are bringing other friends or their significant others and stuff, so you’d be more than welcome too!”

“I appreciate the offer, but I’m already running late for my dinner plans as it is.”

“Rae Earl...do you have a date tonight? Who is the lucky boy...or girl, I don’t judge, I promise!”

“It’s not a date,” Rae laughed as the pair walked towards the staircase and began walking down to the ground level, “I’m meeting up with my friend that I’m going to be roommates with once I move out of my current apartment. We’ve been trying to meet up for a week in order to discuss all the logistics of our little arrangement.”

“Oh, damn...I was really hoping you had a date tonight. I can’t even recall the last time you went out on a date, Rae!”

“Excuse you! I go on plenty of dates, Anna, I don’t need your pity!”

“When was the last date you went on?” Anna asked in challenge as she held the door of the building open for her coworker.

“Uh...I think it was, like...whatever, I don’t need to justify myself to you! I’m just glad I finally found a roommate!”

“Alright, I’ll drop the dating topic for now. But as soon as you get your new living situation sorted, operation ‘get Rae a date or at least get her laid’ begins!”

“Ugh, you are simply incorrigible,” Rae replied with an eye roll, “Have fun at the pub and if Calvin tries to climb on the table and serenade Ronnie again, make sure that you get it on video and send it to me, alright?”

“Will do! Have fun discussing apartment stuff and being a boring adult!” Anna replied with a wink as she walked a bit further in the parking lot towards where she had parked.

Rae pulled out her cell phone as she climbed into her car and send a quick text apologizing for running late and letting Finn know that she was on her way before starting the car and driving to their agreed upon meeting location.

When Rae arrived at the restaurant, she could see Finn sitting alone in a booth on the far side of the restaurant, looking visibly uncomfortable with whatever the waitress was saying to him.

“Hiya! Sorry I’m late,” Rae replied with a huff as she sat on the opposite side of the booth facing Finn.

“Rae! You made it!” Finn replied with a visibly relieved smile as some of the tension in his shoulders dissipated.

“I’ll just give you two a moment to look over the menus and then I’ll come back,” the waitress replied curtly as she glanced at Rae before walking away from the table.

“I’m ten minutes late and you’re already chatting up other girls and trying to replace me, huh?” Rae joked as she took a sip of the water that Finn must have ordered for her before she arrived.

“Hardly,” Finn chuckled humorlessly, “She’s been talking to me about how she is sure that she knows me from somewhere but she can’t quite place where since before you texted me that you were on your way. You quite literally saved me from having to continue that conversation out of politeness for another minute.”

Rae chuckled as she picked up her menu and casually flipped through the pages.

“I’ve never been here before,” Rae said when she looked up from her menu and noticed Finn had not been looking at his own menu, “What do you normally get here?”

“I dunno. I don’t go here often, since it’s a bit classier of a place than I tend to frequent,” Finn muttered as he glanced around at the other patrons who were dressed business casual and sipping glasses of wine before looking down at his own more casual clothing, “but it seemed like the kind of place where we could hang out for a while and actually hear each other while we talk.”

“I agree, it’s nice and quiet here...sort of intimate and cozy, I guess, but I like it.”

“I’ve heard great things about their pizzas, so I was considering getting one,” Finn said as he opened his menu to the page listing their pizzas, “We can share a pizza, if you’d like, but I don’t know what toppings you’d want on it.”

“That sounds good to me. I trust your judgement and I’m sure whatever toppings you choose will be fine, so just surprise me!”

When the waitress came by, Finn placed the order for their pizza and the waitress left promptly to put in the order.

“So... I guess we’re roommates now or something, huh?”

“Looks like it, yeah, unless you’ve realized your mistake and want to change your mind.” Finn agreed with a small smile.

“You couldn’t be so lucky,” Rae replied, “Though I’m not sure how to feel about the gang’s reaction to us becoming roommates.”

“Well, I’ve talked to Archie since then and he said that he was worried about us moving in together because he mentioned that moving in with close friends doesn’t always work out or something. Like it can either work out really well or really badly but you won’t know until you’ve already committed. And I’m sure that Chloe was just looking out for ya and being over protective because you’re her best mate.”

“That makes sense. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t too certain about being roommates when you first brought it up, but now that I’ve had some time to think it over, I have a really good feeling this.” Rae said with a smile as she reached for her glass of water to take a sip.

“I’m glad. So, we have a lot of apartment and roommate related things to discuss, don’t we?”

“Yeah, we do. I have my laptop with me so we can look into some places online if you want to, but we should first sort out some of the logistics and stuff, yeah?”

“Sounds good to me. I’ve never looked for an apartment too seriously before, so I don’t completely know what I’m doing, but I’m sure we can figure this out.”

“This is my fourth time apartment hunting, so I know the drill!”

“Fourth time? Oh wow! I’m in the midst of a professional, it seems,” Finn joked.

“Damn right you are!” Rae added with a chuckle, “Back to the task at hand, move-in dates for the apartment. What are you thinking?”

“Well doesn’t your current lease end really soon?”

“In about a month, yeah, but I can always couch hop for a while if need be,”

“I don’t want you to have to do that. I’m ready to move in as soon as we find a place or whatever dates work best for you.”

“Alright...and just to be sure, you’re alright with splitting all our shared bills evenly, right?”

“Of course!”

“Good, just checking. I’ve had roommates before that weren’t so eager to pay their share.”

“That’s bullshit. I’m more than willing to pay my half of all the bills in addition to helping with any furniture or nonessential stuff that we may want.”

“God, you’re already one of the best roommates I’ve ever had!” Rae joked.

One of the other waitresses brought their pizza to the table and Rae and Finn continued discussing some of the basic information they needed to cover while eating, pleasantly surprised at how well-deserved the praise about the pizzas at this restaurant was.

When they finished eating and their plates had been cleared from the table, Rae pulled her laptop from her purse and powered it on.

“Do ya mind if I sit on the booth next to you so I can see what you’re looking at on your laptop as well?”

“Not at all. Come on over!” Rae replied as she slid further into the booth and angled her laptop so Finn would be able to see it as well.

Finn sat down beside Rae and scooted closer to her so he could look over her shoulder to get a better look at what was on the screen of her laptop in front of her.

“So what are some of your apartment deal breakers or things that you’d like it to have?” Rae asked once she had pulled up one of her favorite apartment hunting websites.

“Er, I don’t know. Suppose I never really thought about it,” Finn mumbled.

“Well, we know we’re looking for a two-bedroom two-bathroom, right? Close to the city...in range of our combined budget...that covers all the basics. What cool features would you like?” Rae asked as she entered those criteria into the apartment search options.

“Uh, a nice kitchen?”

“Do you cook a lot?” Rae asked with a slight tone of surprise in her voice.

“No, well not really, but I know that you do...”

“Oh! Well, you’re not wrong. I’ll add ‘nice kitchen’ to our wish list! I would also like to have some type of a balcony or patio area, if possible. Is that alright?”

“Of course, Rae, I want you to have a say in the apartment you’ll be living in as well. I’m putting my complete faith in your ability to find a decent apartment for us.”

“Challenge accepted,” she replied with a small smile, “I think we have a few decent options that we can look into more. Are you free this weekend to go tour a couple of these available apartments together or would you prefer that we each do that on our own time?”

“We can do it together,” Finn replied eagerly, “I’ll free up my weekend so we can go do this!”

“Okay, perfect! I don’t know about you, but I’m really starting to get excited about living together!”

“It’s not just you,” Finn replied with his signature crooked smile, “how about a celebratory drink to being roommates and making progress to getting an apartment together? My treat...”

“Trying to win my heart with offers of free booze? This whole ‘roommate’ thing might work out even better than I thought!” Rae joked as Finn left the table with a laugh to place their drink order at the bar on the other side of the restaurant.

A/N: I wanted to get to the last of the boring stuff in this chapter so in Chapter 4 we could jump right into the fun of Finn and Rae being roommates, but I thought it made this chapter drag on too long and there was too much skipping around and I didn’t like the way it changed the flow of the chapter, so I’ve decided to prolong the plot building for at least one more chapter after this. In the grand scheme of the story as a whole, I can assure you that 4 plot building chapters will seem pretty insignificant, since this story is gonna be a long one haha.

I feel like I always say this, but whenever y’all reply to the stories/chapters I post or add commentary, it makes my day and gives me such an ego boost, so I can never thank all of you enough.

With that being said, the winner for “Best Comment” on the last chapter is:

I didn’t even make the connection between that vine and this story, but when I saw this reply I laughed and showed my roommate (oh yeah, did I mention that this story is inspired by my irl roommate right now? Because yeah, it sort of is, lol).

Life has been super rough on me these past couple weeks and it seems that as soon as I’m able to move past something bad that happened to me, something else bad happens and things keep getting worse...but I’m trying to get a grip on my life again and trying to come back to some baseline level of shitty-ness in life that is manageable, so even though I missed posting a chapter last week, I’m gonna try to get back to my weekly posting or something similar.

Enough of Sarah rambling about stuff no one cares about...Until next time: Stay awesome, my friends! :)

[knightofhell-cami]

idk if anyone will really see this but (pls take this w a grain of salt bc it’s not what u think hahah this isn’t just cross dressing cas)

dean meeting cas in a bar.

with a catch lol.

he’s not cas right now. he’s one of the most famous drag queens in the los angeles scene. he’s Angel (of the Fucklord) and he’s the most beautiful person dean has ever seen.

dean’s only 19 and he snuck into this bar, hoping to god he could maybe see someone that he loved here, but he couldn’t look any more out of place. wearing a big puffer jacket and big glasses on his face didn’t help anything.

but at least, somehow, he got into the bar, men’s eyes immediately turning to his twink booty. but he’s there to see the drag performance, and his favorite queen is performing tonight. known for her on trend looks and looking like an actual 23 year old girl from the valley, she wears a soft blonde lace front wig (by Vanity) and arrives on stage with her back turned. the crowd erupts into cheers, and dean smiles widely. he’d always dreamt of this.

she turns around and into the light to reveal beautifully done, almost no-makeup makeup for a drag queen (but she can definitely do heavy. that’s her other half), wearing a tight shirt with a v neck that has strings crossing along the dip, a soft pink leather jacket (faux, bc animals), a matching pink chocked, and denim booty shorts. then, the laced up thigh highs (louboutin, by the red bottom) that hug right up to her thick, clearly man (but insanely sexy) thighs.

it’s surprisingly easy for her to be muscular yet still pass as a girl like this.

her beautifully overdrawn pink lips stand out the most to dean.

she walks forward, no music playing quite yet. the men in the crowd roar, already handing money toward the stage for her to take.

and then, with rupaul’s “let the music play!” her song starts; Come Get Her by Rae Sremmurd.

She drops to a squat, smiling, enjoying herself as she went slowly back up, taking money as she rose. dean’s eyes lit up, reflecting the stage lights.

“Somebody come get her, she’s dancing like a stripper,” the song played, Angel laughing and running her hands along her body. during the rap parts of the song, she sang along, knowing every single word, pointing at some people as it would say, “you see me, in action, i’ve heard, a lot, a lot, about ya,” causing some people to laugh at her subtle yet sexy show.

she was never known to be over the top with her bar performances. some people could even call her a comedy queen.

by the time the song ended, she’d gathered a nice wad of bills and collected the rest at the end and after several other songs. Dean eagerly handing her $3. she took the bills while looking at somebody else, dean’s smile falling. maybe she could’ve at least seen him. but hey, it was a good show.

he sighed happily, turning and adjusting his glasses, lost in his thoughts, admiring her in his mind. her skill, fashion, take on drag, everything was exactly what he wanted to be. but he was a 19 year old boy from kansas lost in los angeles trying to find himself while trying to find everything else.

he went up the bar, stood by the counter, and ordered a water.

“you the driver tonight?” the bartender asked, and dean, going with it, returned with a, “yeah.”

as the bartender handed him the water, the bartender’s eyes had shifted from the glass to something in the distance, and a smile spread across his face.

“hey, angel! was wondering when i’d see you tonight!” he said with a pearly white smile, the drag queen shifting into a spot at the bar right next to dean.

dean’s eyes went wide. his mouth ripped open a bit too, but he hadn’t noticed.

jesus, she was gorgeous up close.

the bartender, knowing what she always ordered, handed her her drink and smiled.

it wasn’t until dean had stared for a good minute that Angel noticed him. her head turned, her hair falling off of her shoulder as she focused on the little boy standing next to her.

“oh my god.” dean said, smiling wider, “i love you.” woah, too much dean, too much, jesus–

Angel looked more weirded out than dean had ever seen.

“i mean–i’m a big fan,” he gushed, “i really really like your drag and performance and you dance really well and do great makeup i dunno you’re just a great drag queen–”

Angel nodded, almost ignoring him, but she had to admit, he was a cute little boy.

“yeah, yeah,” she said, sipping her drink from a straw. dean noticed that not a single bit of lipstick had transferred. impressive.

“i think you’re really beautiful. and from where i’m coming from– we don’t have any of this. like at all,” he chuckled, and Angel’s face softened. she looked down at him, into his eyes properly, as he spoke.

“i moved here to get away from my parents. they didn’t like that i was gay so i had to go somewhere and i have friends here you know. i just– i want to try drag but..” he sighed. if he kept going, Angel would think he was begging for a tutor, a Drag Mom, as they called it.

Angel could tell, though, what he was getting at. She saw it in his innocent eyes that he was serious and meant no harm. She saw it that he wasn’t here to call her hot, but to truly admire her art. She saw that he really did want to try all of this out. Because she’d been in that position before.

“You want me to teach you?”

Dean’s head lifted. His eyes lit up.

“I mean.. if you want, like, i guess, i can’t stop you but like wow i didn’t expect that oh my god,” he rambled, Angel chuckling and sipping her drink again.

“i could teach you.” she smiled and nodded.

“no way. okay. um, my name’s dean, i guess,” he giggled. this was too good to be true.

“Here,” she took out her phone, pushed her hair out of the way, and asked, “what’s your number? Text me and i’ll text you later.”

dean couldn’t have stumbled more over his words.

Welcome to Stamford Pt 4

Okay so how long has it been of sever writers block, crossed with an earthquake and to many hours at work? Weeks, months? I don’t know but all I know is im back, and this ladies and dudettes is what I call- ‘you know when you have written like 3 chapters and you think they are all shit so you re-write them and you spew corny shit all over the pages’! But I needed to give you guys something, you were begging me and I felt bad. So please don’t kill me for this.

Now the way I see Finn in this, is different. He’s more loveable, cheerful and what I think FUNNY??

Just think of the way Nico acts in real life. I always see moody Finn and grumpy Finn… what about happy Finn. But hey if you don’t like it, then pass this on as a flake.

Now my writing is meh? I haven’t written in so long and this was a spur of the moment thing where I had to write this down before it disappeared.

Enough with my rambles, READ. READ. READ. And P.s I might be on Wattpad now? So im not just writing fan fic anymore!

I LOVE YOU ALL MY PATIENT FOLLOWERS! MWAH!!!

&&&&& NOT EDITED 

PART 3 GUYS! HAVE A RE-CAP 

 FINN POV

 Sweat baby Jesus.

I could see the blush invade her ivory skin, her plump cheeks turning a glorious shade of crimson red. Her eyes avoiding mine as I tried in vain to see those deep chocolate irises of hers.

Stubborn girl

I knew she was embarrassed. The all mighty Rae with a mouth as lethal as a gun was stunned in silence.

I could hear Archie briefly chuckle under his breath before my eyes flicked to his. It was a moment of gratitude when he cleared his throat and straightened his posture, not muttering a single word more. I didn't need to give this girl a reason to run.

I couldn't help the broad smirk stretch across my face, not that she would even notice. No she was too busy playing with the loose threat of her shirt. Dazed by her own lyrical words, and most likely regretting the last five minutes of her life.

"Oh really" I couldn't help but question with a little pep to my words. I won't lie, I was enjoying this. Watching her body squirm under my gaze like I was her weakness, I felt powerful but also very amused.

I straightened to my full height but kept my arms crossed across my chest, my smile never fading. This girl was really something.

"Go on..." I asked as I lifted an eyebrow, my gaze never wavers from hers.

Her head shot up, I could see her brain ticking away. Most likely over thinking the situation she got herself into.

“I... ugh- I only just read that part" she stuttered barely above a whisper.

Before I had the chance to reply to the vixen my view was obstructed. Blue eyes pierced into mine, it wasn't a foreign experience looking into them but it was an experience I unfortunately discovered one too many times.

"Hiya Finn" Her slightly squeaky voice made me shutter. I learnt a few months back that Chloe wasn't going to give up, yes I might have led her on at the start, body first, mind second. I am a guy, and nobody in their right mind can say they have never done or won’t ever do something like that. By the time I learnt other aspects about Chloe, the way she coolly spoke about other females, her slightly flirtatious fingers that wondered a bit too much along the planes of my body I realised we had nothing in common. She likes attention, I hated it. That was more than enough reason to keep away. I hadn't even kissed the girl and I have to fend her off with a spatula.

Her finger nails slide alone my shirt, whilst her other hand tangled through her hair, twirling her locks into a tight knot. Ha! Hope her fingers get fucking stuck.

"Chloe" I nodded, removing her hand and backing up slightly. I noticed her smile drop before her fake facade crept its way back onto her face.

"I was thinking that maybe we could hang out again tomorrow night" her sickly sweet voice was drumming through my head. I noticed her eyes flick back towards Rae who still looked like a deer in headlights. A smug smirk etched its way onto her slim face, and I knew exactly what was going on.

I knew at that moment she was marking her territory. Fuck, she might as well just cock her leg and piss on me instead. I've had numerous girls attempt this, and all of them failed. I was not some object, I liked my space and I liked to make my own decisions. And right now my own monologue sounded like a pre-teen-fucking-girl.

"Actually chlo" I spoke coolly, fuck I hope this worked. "Rae and I already had plans".

Four mouths dropped in unison, but only two mouths spoke- or yelled.

"What" Chloe and Rae were in sync, both tones slightly pitchy but I gave it a C+ for effort.

"Maybe all that erotic smut has seeped too far into that head of yours Rae" I wiggled my eyebrows to emphasize what I meant; "If you don't remember us having plans tonight, then maybe I should just drag you away now".

I hoped to God Rae played along with this one, my eyes were pleading to her. I could see the sparkle of mischief in those doe eyes, it manifested in self into a full blown grin and I was nearly knocked of my feet.

Two rows of while teeth, cute little dimples that sat on the edge of her beautiful smile, and I even noticed the wrinkle she got near her eye.

God, this sad sap of and man could just reach out and pinch the roundness of her cheeks like an overbearing Grandma. I have officially lost my balls.

"Oh that. Sorry totally forgot, ugh. Well all I really remember is that you- you promised me pizza all expenses paid for and I can't really turn that down" Rae was a natural liar, I wasn't sure to be scared or amazed.

"You sure you need the pizza" Chloe mumbled under her breath, but I know that Rae and the others had heard her snide comment.

Just as I was about to say something in return, I heard Rae speak up. To say I was shocked was an understatement, to say I was now stiff as a board down stairs was completely accurate. Oh the bite in her words was beyond erotic.

"Well Chlo, yeah I do. An ass like this doesn't stay this round by only eating salad. Maybe you should try it one day; I mean it might give them something to look at from behind".

SHE HAD ME. HOOK. LINE. SINKER.

My arm was then suddenly torn from my body, blood spraying the weak as zombies raided the school demolishing those who couldn’t run fast enough. Poor Chloe dead, her jugular spraying warm blood one the walls… is what I wanted to narrate but really it was Rae pulling me along towards the library exit whilst I threw I peace sign over my shoulder to gayer, red and blow –up Barbie. Oh I could so be a writer.

She let me go from her clutches as soon as we were far enough away and stopped awkwardly. She smelled like coconut, her face flushed red, and her tacky bag just hung limp from her hand.

“Okay well this was fun- ugh… See ya!” have you ever watched a girl speed walk away from you like you just announced that you had leprosy? Well that was what Rae was currently doing and I must say my ego wasn’t too impressed.

“HEY!” I yelled, which caused her to walk a little faster. I swear she could win Olympic gold with that stride.

“Rae Stop! I mean it…” shit this was not working. She had managed to cross the quad and head towards the front of the school. I knew once she made it out of the gate I would lose her. So many possible ways she could turn and with a walk like that I wouldn’t be surprised if she walked all the way to London by the time I made it to the chippy.

It was time to officially lose any street cred that I had.

Operation embarrass-the-shit-out-of-rae-until-she-stops comenses.

“Rae Earl! How could you do that to me! Kiss me then leave me for another!” I yelled, fake sobs raked my body and any student between her and I gawked. Including Rae herself, excellent.

“You told me it was only me!” I continued, falling to my knees in a dramatic fashion.

I looked at the ground as she started to cuss in my direction. I didn’t need to see her to know she was currently heading my way.

“Get the fuck up Finn”.

“Why don’t you love me anymore?” I wailed waving my hands in the air like a mother giving birth. I really shouldn’t have dropped drama class. I was just imagining my name in flashing lights- Finn ‘the knicker dropper’ Nelson, God of the theatre. Ultra sexy alter ego named ‘Nico mirallegro’ king of the Italian mafia. (Always had a thing for Italian names, sue me!)

“If I wanted to listen to an asshole Finn, I’d fart. Now get the fuck up!” Rae’s face was just a whisper from my ear and I couldn’t help but crack a large grin as I got back to my knees.

“You had me at hello” I spoke lustfully giving her a good ol’ wink.

“You’re a pervert! Why the fuck did you just do that to me… and you? Aren’t you worried about your reputation! God you are so stupid” she smacked her palm on her forehead and huffed.

I sighed. “Why would I care what any of these people think?” twisting my brows together as I saw the shock on her face. “… and plus the way you were walking you’ve be in Australia before I knew it. I wanted you to stop”.

She gave me a look as to say ‘why?’ and I breathed heavily… well ive already gone this far.

“I thought we had plans… you know-pizza?”

“You meant that?” I nodded.

“Oh well I thought you were just saying that to get away from Chloe” I rubbed my face with my hands and then looked straight into her chocolate eyes.

“You intrigue me Rae. You act different, you look different. I need a change in my life. So what do you say? Pizza…?”

Ohkay who the fuck am i, and what have i just done to grumpy Finn. i took me years to perfect that grunt, and in a matter of 10 minutes she just managed to turn me into a completely different person. Ohkay maybe i need to rethink my acting career, im not good at staying in character.

I just copied my old tag list, so im sorry if i missed anyone. feel free to remind this old girl if i did :D

[finn-nelson-for-the-win]

I bet you didn’t think that by “incredibly soon” I meant about a day later, huh? Truth be told I felt kinda bad about the previous chapter because it was mostly just a filler chapter to speed the plot along and show some time passing, but this one and the next couple chapters deliver some seriously flirty vibes and drama (at least in my opinion) and the words just kept coming so I decided to seize the opportunity and post this ASAP.

I also found this chapter rather cathartic to write because I am still incorporating a lot of myself and my experiences into Rae and the story overall, so I really hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it! This chapter is at about 2,994 words, which is right on track with my goal of making each mini-fic 3,000 words or less!

Wanna get caught up on the updates leading up to this one? Look no further!

Feel free to let me know if you would like to be added/removed from the tagged list and I’ll be happy to oblige! As always: each and every one of you that read my writing, like, reply, reblog, etc. are amazing people and inspire me to keep writing! :)

Just a Touch of Sweetness

Friday and Saturday sort of just blurred together, as Rae slowly began falling into the routine of Finn sitting with her and Izzie whenever they all worked together, but by Sunday afternoon when Rae walked into her apartment after a long day at work, she felt completely and utterly exhausted—both mentally and physically.

It was mid-November, which meant that the holidays were approaching and things at work were quickly becoming more hectic. To make matters worse, that also meant that there was less than a month left in this semester of Uni, which was making Rae feel relieved but incredibly overwhelmed simultaneously. It seemed as though all of her classes had suddenly announced the final projects and assignments that were swiftly approaching and the stress of everything was becoming too much for Rae to handle.

As much as Rae wanted to just turn on some music and relax in a desperate attempt to ease her worries about school, she knew that procrastination would only exacerbate the stress she was currently feeling with knowing that she had assignments due that evening in both of her online classes, as well as an upcoming exam in her Economics class that has been the bane of her existence this entire semester.

Groaning and sighing dramatically as she turned on her laptop and opened up Spotify, preparing herself to work on her assignments without stopping until she had finished everything that was due at midnight, Rae pressed play on her go-to playlist that she had made to match her mood this time of year, aptly titled “Falling…”, and began trudging her way through the list of assignments she needed to get done.

Hours had passed when Rae finally submitted the last assignment she needed to complete prior to midnight.

Thank fuck that is finally over with!

Rae was still feeling overwhelmed by everything she had coming up in her classes as she attempted to prioritize her upcoming assignments and she could feel her breath catch as the panic and feelings of self-doubt and fear of failing out of Uni this semester crept in. To an extent, Rae knew that she was taking on too much responsibility going to Uni full-time, working part-time, and becoming financially independent after moving away from her family to attend Uni. She had incredibly high expectations for herself and she could not even fathom letting herself down by falling behind in her classes or losing the academic scholarship that was the only reason why attending University was even a possibility for Rae.

Knowing that she had to calm down before she had a proper panic attack, Rae gripped the edge of the desk in her bedroom she was sitting at tightly and began counting quietly under her breath, attempting to regulate her breathing.

Just breathe, Rae…In 2-3-4-5-6-7-8, Out 2-3-4-5-6-7-8, In 2-3-4…Out 2-3-4….In…Out…

When her breathing was almost back to normal, her grip on the edge of her desk loosened and she flexed her fingers that had begun to cramp from how tightly they were clenched.

Despite calming down slightly, Rae knew that listening to music could only do so much to help her relax, so Rae turned to the next biggest comfort and sense of enjoyment in her life: food.

Rae has had a strange relationship with food for as long as she could remember. She had a tendency to overeat to the point of being sick to cope with stress and sadness as a child; however, as she grew older and her self-esteem plummeted as bullying “the fat girl” was a more common occurrence at college, Rae began to not eat in front of strangers. This continued until she also refused to eat in front of people that were not her family, until eventually she skipped meals entirely on a regular basis.

For years she struggled to find some semblance of balance because she knew the dangers she faced from both binging and skipping meals, that is until she found a way that she could love food without the temptation and regret she had previously associated it with.

When Rae was 16 years old she discovered that her casual interest in cooking was a true passion and she had quite a knack for it. As she continued cooking for her family and friends and experimenting with new foods and new recipes, Rae gained a new appreciation for food as a form of art and expression that did not lead to her hating herself afterwards. And so even now, nearly 4 years later, Rae would go on “stress baking” and “stress cooking” sprees to help clear her mind and get relieve stress.

Hmm…what shall I bake today…?

Rae walked into the small kitchen in her apartment and perused her cabinets trying to determine what she had the ingredients to make before grabbing her phone off of the counter to get a second opinion.

Rae: Hiya Izz, random question: Do you like cupcakes?

Rae set her phone back down on her kitchen counter and it buzzed almost immediately indicating that Izzie had already replied.

Izzie: OF COURSE I DO, RAE. All sweet things beckon to me! <3 <3 <3

Rae: Lol…In that case, I just might have a sweet surprise for you tomorrow before work! ;)

Rae returned her phone to its place on the kitchen counter, making a mental note to read Izzie’s response as soon as she had a spare moment after getting the cupcakes started.

Two hours later Rae was putting the finishing touches on the three dozen cupcakes she had made and examining them to determine if there was anything else she should add to them.

Hmm…chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate-hazelnut filling and a cream cheese buttercream…Well, you can never go wrong with a little more chocolate!

Rae proceeded to drizzle the top of each cupcake with the remainder of the chocolate she had incorporated into the filling she had made. She quickly cleaned up the last traces of her late night baking, licking the spoons used to mix the batter and taking pride in the perfect balance of sweetness and rich chocolate flavor she had achieved on this particular batch of cupcakes.

By the time she finished tidying up the kitchen a bit, it was just past 2am and Rae decided it best to get some sleep, fully aware that she had to go to work early the next morning.

***

Rae walked into work well over 15 minutes earlier than she typically arrived, especially on a Monday morning, and took a seat at one of the tables in the break room before retrieving her cellphone from the bottom of her purse to browse her social media accounts.

Uninterested in what she saw while scrolling through Instagram and Twitter, Rae set her phone to the side and began examining the small white box containing the cupcakes she had brought to work for a few of her coworkers until she head the door to the break room open.

“Whoa…Finn, you’re here really early today, aren’t ya?” Rae asked raising an eye brow as Finn walked toward the table she was sitting at with a massive grin.

“Good morning to you too, Mae,” Finn replied, feigning that he took offense to what she had said to him.

“Oh, don’t be that way Finn! It’s good to see you, I just didn’t anticipate you being here so early.”

Rae noticed that Finn stood in front of the table she was sitting at and was shifting awkwardly from one foot to another, biting the skin on his thumb subconsciously.

Why does Finn seem nervous? It’s just me after all, he’s got nothing to be nervous about.

“Finn, you know you can take a seat at the table with me is you want to, right?”

“Oh, yeah, sorry…” Finn pulled the chair nearest to Rae out from under the table before sitting down and giving her a small close-lipped smile to help hide some of the embarrassment he was feeling.

“I just didn’t know if you’d be okay with me sitting down at the table with ya or not…” He trailed off until he was barely mumbling and went right back to biting the skin around his thumb.

Rae and Finn sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes until he lightly tapped the top of the square box she had sitting in the center of the table.

“What’s in the box, Rae?” he asked, clearly curious but resisting the urge to open the box and take a look for himself.

“This box, my dear Finnley,” she began but stopped to smirk at her use of the nickname she knew he secretly hated, opening the box to let both of them see its contents, “contains some of the Chocolate Hazelnut cupcakes that I baked last night and brought for some people here at work.”

“Ah, alright…wait, did you say you MADE these? They look like they’re professional quality! How’s that possible!?” Finn exclaimed, making no attempts to hide his surprise and how impressed he was that these cupcakes were homemade.

“Yeah, I like to cook and bake when I’m upset or stressed, and I’ve been pretty overwhelmed with Uni lately, so last night I did some stress baking. I still have a lot to learn about baking and decorating cakes, but thank you, I tried to make them look halfway decent at least.”

“‘Halfway decent’? Are you shitting me, Mae? These cupcakes are perfect looking! Why in the hell would you want to share these with other people? If I were you I’d just keep them all for myself…”

Rae tensed slightly, trying to determine the best way to respond to Finn without making him think that she was weird.

Careful what you say, Rae...one wrong thing and Finn will always see me as some crazy, fat blob.

“Uh, well I love to cook, but I don’t have much of an appetite for sweets. So whenever I bake a lot, like I did last night, I give most of what I make to people here at work.”

Finn nodded and continued examining the cupcakes that still sat in the white cardboard box while Rae tried to read Finn’s face and figure out what he thought of the explanation she had given.

“Hiya Rae! Morning Finn…you two are here quite early today!” Izzie mused excitedly as she pulled out the chair at the table across from Rae and Finn and sat down, nearly bouncing with her usual level of energy that seemed impossible this early on a Monday.

Both simply shrugged in response, which made Izzie laugh because she could almost swear they were the same person at times with how similar they are.

“Izzie! I have a surprise for you, love, as promised…” Rae opened the box containing the cupcakes, showing Izzie the sweet surprise she had brought for her today.

“Oh my god, Rae! These look amazing! And you made and decorated these yourself!?” Izzie removed a cupcake from the box to examine it further.

“I was just telling Rae the same thing when she showed me the cupcakes! It’s not just me that thinks you’re insanely talented, girl,” Finn replied, playfully poking Rae’s arm to further prove his point to her.

Rae stood up from the table, cheeks blushing a deep red color, and pushed the now vacant chair back under the table, thoroughly embarrassed by Izzie and Finn’s praise and acknowledgment of her baking skills.

“Well, I’m gonna head inside and get to work now. Are you planning to stay out here to eat a cupcake, Izz?”

“Yeah, as long as you don’t mind saving my seat for me, Rae…These look too good and I can’t wait much longer to give them a taste!”

Rae giggled and informed Izzie that she would save her a seat but Rae expected to get Izzie’s feedback on the cupcake as soon as she finished.

“Hey, wait up, girl!” Finn walked hurriedly towards where Rae stood holding open the break room door, allowing him to catch up to her.

Finn gave Rae a huge smile, making her chuckle, and walked beside her toward the seat to the right of Izzie and Rae that has become his regular spot to sit for almost a week. As they passed the radio in the corner of the room, Finn stopped to turn it to Rae’s favorite Alternative music station, which earned him an appreciative nod and genuine smile from Rae.

Just as Rae and Finn got logged into their computers and began getting settled in to answer customer questions, Izzie came bounding through the door, scanning her badge in the process, before rushing to take her seat on Rae’s left.

“Rae, holy shit that cupcake was amazing!”

“Izzie!” Rae exclaimed, laughing at the sound of Izzie cursing, which was a very rare phenomenon.

“I’m serious, Rae! I don’t know how you did it, but that cupcake from the filling to the decorations, to the cake itself were fantastic!”

“Well thank you Izz, I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed it!”

The three of them continued working, only occasionally stopping when Rae and Finn bickered about their opinions of the song currently playing on the radio or when Izzie brought up how delicious the cupcake had been and how tempted she was to take another one during her break that was coming up shortly.

Rae was quickly becoming accustomed to the new dynamic between her and Finn, especially considering that she had been prepared for the worst following the mixed messages she received from Finn last Monday. Sitting next to Finn this week and talking to him more at work than she has heard him speak in the month she had been working here has allowed Rae and Izzie to get to know Finn a little bit better and Rae could almost say she considered him one of her mates.

When Izzie sat back down at her desk after coming in from her break, she turned towards Rae hesitantly, avoiding eye contact.

“Rae…I hope you aren’t too mad at me, but after giving Rebecca the cupcake you saved for her, I ate another one of the cupcakes you brought while I was on break.”

“Don’t worry about it, Izz! I brought them specifically for my friends here at work and I have plenty more at my apartment if you want more. Just let me know!”

“Aw, thanks Rae, I’d really appreciate that!”

Izzie returned to responding to customers and Rae turned in her desk chair when she noticed that Finn was locking his computer.

“Are you about to go on break, Finn?”

“Yeah, why?”

“I just wanted to let you know that if you want a cupcake before Izz eats them all herself, you are more than welcome to take one. I felt like a real dickhead about teasing you with them and not even offering you one,” Rae replied, apologizing for her inadvertent rudeness and lack of manners by not offering Finn a cupcake as well this morning.

“Are you sure I can take one, Rae? You don’t have to give me one if ya don’t want to…”

“Of course I’m sure,” Rae interrupted, “I want to know if it lives up to your expectations or not!” Rae winked at Finn, causing him to gulp audibly and clear his throat before stuttering out his reply.

“Uh, wow…thanks, Rae! You just made my day! I know it’s gonna be amazing because that cupcake looked fucking amazing, but I’m going to give you really detailed feedback, okay? Because I really love critiquing stuff like this like they do in those cooking show competitions.”

“Hell yeah, I love those shows! Don’t spare my feelings either, I want to know what you really think of them.” Rae added, laughing at the childlike excitement Finn was emanating at the mere mention of the cupcakes.

“In that case, Mae, I will be sure to be EXTRA hard on you…err…your cupcakes, I mean…uhhh…I’m just gonna go now!” Finn hurried away, avoiding eye contact with Rae as he walked out the door in the direction of the break room.

Well…that certainly was an interesting choice of words, Finnley…

When Finn returned fifteen minutes later and sat back down in his seat, Rae was already turned in her desk chair facing Finn with her arm propped up beside his computer screen and her chin resting on her hand.

“So Finnley…what did you think?” She asked, biting her lower lip slightly as she braced herself for his feedback.

“Well Mae,” he began placing emphasis on his nickname for her that he knew got on her nerves, “I thought it was pretty fucking fantastic!  I noticed that the cupcake itself was hardly sweet at all, it was mostly just the filling and frosting on top that added sweetness.”

“Thanks, Finn. I’ve always hated things that are too sweet so I always try to focus the sweetness on certain aspects of what I’m making. That way there is just a touch of sweetness and it isn’t overwhelmingly sweet…Was there anything else you would have wanted different about them?”

“Well, don’t get me wrong Rae, I really liked the cupcake,” he prefaced, trying to soften the blow of his critique to follow, “but I really would have like there to be more filling on the inside.”

“Oh, and why is that Finn? Was it not sweet enough for you as it was?” Rae asked quirking her eyebrow in anticipation for his answer.

“It was plenty sweet, but knowing that there was a filling in it, I was kind of hoping to get it all over my mouth and face while I was eating it…I like it a little dirty, you know?” Finn smirked and gave her a quick wink when he noticed Rae’s eyes widen at the double entendre in his statement.

Are you shitting me right now? Finn Nelson, you will be the death of me, I just know it...
