pairing: tom holland x reader / tom holland x brazilian reader (she’s from brazil here, but you can picture her being of any place that you want! Since the story wouldn’t change bc of that) 

warnings: swear words, underage drinking (not much tho, nothing like “Skins” lmao), suggestive scenes in some chapters, not smut, but minors be aware. Fluff/angst/drama/ Y/n and Tom being stupid teenagers with feelings.

Summary: Y/n has always been best friends with Harrison and Tom. Since childhood they've always been close, but what happens if after a break up with her first boyfriend, she starts to feel something more about Tom?

A conflict of feelings, the non-acceptance of falling in love and the fear of losing her best friend, all in the head of an 17-year-old teenager. And on top of that, still having to fear of not being accepted for college.

It was 2 minutes to 7am and I was late for school. Running to put on my warm sweatshirt and getting ready psychologically to go out in a cold weather, I grabbed my keys and tried to lock the door almost dropping my backpack on the floor. It was almost summer, but my town wasn't disappointed in having very cold mornings and hot afternoons.

"Shit," I murmured as I kicked the door, insisting that didn't want to close it. "Why hasn't my mom called someone to fix this thing yet?" I spoke to myself and finally managed to close it hearing a click. Coming down the stairs practically running, I closed the small gate and strode down the street.

I lived with my parents in a town called Kingston-upon-Thames, in a tiny two-bedroom house, very close to the school. You just need to walk about 4 blocks and voilá, I could already see the entrance gate and the familiar faces of the gringos. I was in the last year of high school, just turned 17 and I was born in Brazil, but grew up in London, when my father had to move because of his work, when I was only 6 years old. Obviously we weren't rich, my father worked with woodwork, and my mother currently worked in a small flower shop in the city center. But when my father received an offer to move to another country, he didn't think twice. Learn another culture, a new language and still earn some good money?An offer that cannot be refused.

The first time we arrived it was very strange, only my father knew intermediate English and my mother and I obviously did not know a single word. But we quickly befriended a family that lived on our street: the Osterfields. Jenna and Carter were the parents of two children: Harrison, the same age as me and little Charlotte (newborn at the time). Harrison and I immediately became inseparable, and he became like a brother to me and our families became one.

Obviously with him, also came nothing more and nothing less than: the Holland family. Nikki and Dom had 4 male children, one my age: Tom, Harry and Sam twins, 3 years younger and Paddy who was born 2 years later. So the family just grew, our parents became best friends, and me, Harrison and Tom became an unbeatable trio. There was no Y/n, without Tom and Harrison and vice versa, we're always together.

We went to the same school since always. As Haz lived only a few houses below mine, we meet and go together and Tom, who lived on the other side of the school, met us at the gate every day.

I went down the street and saw Haz sitting on the wall in front of his house, fiddling with his cell phone with a earphone, as soon as I approached he raised his head and smiled.

- Finally, I thought you aren’t going to class today. - He said getting up and giving me a kiss on the cheek.

- Good morning to you too Haz. - I said laughing and hooking my arm on him, while we went down the street. - You know that now that my mom is working on the other side of town she leaves early and then I have to wake up by myself, which is clearly a problem.

- Sleepyhead, - he said and I playfully tapped his arm while he laughed.

- Well, i'm, what can I say? Sleeping is the best thing in the world. - I said. - Did you do the history homework?

- Wich history homework? - He stopped suddenly looking at me in shock.

- Harrison Osterfield, you are not going to tell me that you forgot the work that I talked about it every day for almost a month. - I said putting my hand on my waist scolding him.

- Well ... I completely forgot. - Haz said scratching the back of his head with the face of a stray dog. -I was busy decorating the lines from the play.

- Wow Harrison, that way you will fail and then you'll  came crying to me. 

- Ok mom, sorry! But was it for today? Can I copy it and give it to you later? 

- Ok, but just this time, and do me a favor to exchange practically all the words I used or i'll be in trouble. - I said taking out my briefcase, while he held my backpack and I handed him my work. 

- I love you... - he said giving me back my backpack and hugging me, kissing my head afterwards.

- And I don't love you at all, bummer. - I giggled and we rounded the corner of the school.

Tom was already leaning against the side of the gate with his backpack between his legs, talking to a guy who was doing theater with him and Harrison. He was laughing at something, wearing a black hoodie, his hair was a little messy under his hood and his nose was slightly red from the cold. For some reason my stomach did some flips as we approached.

Harrison and Tom were very handsome, there was no denying it, they were half nerds, half bad boys (in the sense of forgetting to study for the exam or not doing their homework once in a while), they did theater, they were nice and got along very well with girls since they started puberty. As for me, I was the nerd who was always concerned about grades and getting into the journalism college, I didn't always have excellent grades, but they were enough to pass or impress the professors when I felt inspired. I wasn't popular, but not a completely ghost too, because being best friends with the boys ended up calling attention in some way.

The only boyfriend I had was a guy named Steven, and also my first kiss, to at age 15, but we broke up last year. Steven was cool, but we had different views on things and use to think about completely different futures, so we thought it was best to broke up. And since then I'm alone and very well, thank you.

But since I broke up with Stev, for some reason I've started to have some weird feelings for Tom. Weird in the meaning of being shy around him, with whatever he does, or whatever words he exchanges with me. Which is ridiculous, because he's my childhood friend, and I never felt any of that with Haz, so why with him I feel? I always saw Haz as my brother, but with Tom it's different, and I never understood why.

Anyway, here I was with my heart beating faster and faster as we approached. As soon as we got close, Tom waved goodbye to the guy he was talking. He grabbed his backpack off the floor and patted Haz on the back, kissing my forehead afterwards, which I immediately feel my cheeks burning with embarrassing, but no one realized.

- Hey mates! Finally! I thought you weren't coming anymore.- he said as the three of us went through the gate towards the school.

- The madam here, was the one who ended up sleeping too much, I was also waiting a long time.- Haz said and I rolled my eyes, making Tom smile.

- I understand Y/n, I also love sleeping... By the way, I said I was waiting a long time, but actually I just arrived. - He laughed - Your mother started working on that flower shop, right?

- Yeah! She started today, so I'm still getting used to waking up just with the alarm without my mom pulling me from under the covers by my hair.- I replied and they both laughed.

- Which class do you guys have now? - Tom asked as we went up the stairs to the first floor where the class rooms were.

-Math- Haz said, rolling his eyes. - Actually, I really have to go, because if I show up a second late again Mr. Jones will kill me. - he said giving us a brief wave and running to the opposite side.

- I have philosophy, thank God, one of my favorite subjects.- I said raising my hands to the sky as a joke and Tom laughed.

- Wow y/n, I thought your favorite subject was biology and English.- he said and I stuck out my tongue, but feeling a little warm inside, these subjects were the ones we had together.

- Anyway, see you later? I have physics now unfortunately.

- Yeah, I'll be at our new favorite place. - I giggle, it had been a week since me, Haz and Tom found a perfect place to stay during the break, which was on the back of the school, on a hill next to a tree, where we had a full view of the students down there. It was perfect, because the warm morning sun was shining and we'd be left on the ground gossiping and watching what others were doing.

- See you there shortie. -Tom said kissing the top of my head, giving me a wink and leaving towards his class room.

- Look who's talking. - I said loudly for him to hear and he showed me his middle finger from a distance, laughing at my face.

I turned around smiling and headed towards my class. The first two classes were normal, nothing new, I was still a little sleepy, so I ended up almost sleeping in the second geography class, where I was almost kicked out by Mr Wilson, who let It pass this time. The alarm hit indicating it was break time and I thanked God, practically running to stay out in the sun.

I grabbed my phone from my pocket and my headphones, hitting play on Radiohead's Subterranean Homesick Alien song and walking outside. I saw Steven with his new girlfriend Lily right on the way out, they were talking, hugging each other and looked very happy, he saw me and gave a smile from a distance where I reciprocated. Our break up went very well, without resentment, which made me happy.

I walked up the small hill and saw Haz and Tom already at our meeting place. Tom was lying down looking at the sky while Haz was sitting propped up in the tree.

- Did you guys miss me? - I said sitting next to Haz.

- Yeah, we were even thinking about how we could handle living without you y/n- Haz said and Tom chuckled.

- I know you two love me. - I said shrugging.

- In fact, we were arguing when you're going to have a new boyfriend. - Tom said and I froze.

- And who said I want a new boyfriend? I asked raising my eyebrow.

- We know you y/n, you starting to have your head in the clouds lately, always retweeting couple things and posting romantic songs, I can see that you're falling in love again.- Tom said, still looking at the sky.

- I agree. - Haz said taking the side of my earphone and putting into his ear. - She's even listening to Radiohead! And you always listen to Radiohead when you're in love. - I gave them a sarcastic laugh and pulled the earphone of his ear turning off the music making Haz laugh.

- You guys are idiots, I'm fine alone thank you, I just want to focus on my studies from now on. - I said and they both made a "hmm" in unison, making me roll my eyes.

- Actually, we were discussing where we're going to celebrate my 17th birthday tomorrow.- Tom said changing the subject, turning his head and covering the sun with his hand to look at me.

-Tomorrow is your birthday?- I asked pretending to be surprise and Tom rolled his eyes playfully.

- I know you two always look forward to my birthday, because you love me and want to surprise me.- he said and Haz and I laughed ironically. - But Marcos offered his house, because his parents are traveling, so we could make a cool party there! So I was thinking about calling the theater people and some of our friends like Julian, Tuwaine and etc, maybe getting some drinks too... - Tom said sitting down and cleaning some leaves that were stuck on his hoodie.

- I think it's a good idea, I'm not much of partying or drinking, but with you both I always have fun.- I said and Haz rested his head on my shoulder.

- Good to know we make you happy Y/n. - Haz said and I giggle patting his head.

- So we meet tomorrow? You guys want to stop by my house so we could go together?

- Actually, I have to go to my granny first, so I'll go from there.- Haz said and Tom gave him a thumbs up.

- Y/n you can go? Around 7pm it's ok?

-Of course Tommy. - I said and he smiled at the nickname.

- Okay, I'll wait for you at 7pm and I'll send you the address, mate.- he said to Haz as we got up listening to the bell ringing indicating the break was over.

- Deal!- Haz said.

- Deal. - I also said as we went down back to class.

The last classes were history, the subject I had with Haz and he returned my homework, assuring me that he had changed the words. We spend the whole class sending notes talking about nonsense and making jokes. Haz and I were pretty good at sending notes without the professor seeing.

But I confess I was puzzled by what the boys had said earlier, how did they have the impression that I was in love? I wasn't, was I? Was I showing too much that i had feelings for Tom? I don't know, I just know that the whole story had left me with immense anxiety.

The class was over and I said goodbye to Haz, because he had theater with Tom and I didn't have any extra activities that day. The only days that i had something was on monday, tuesday and thursday, when I have a school reinforcement to improve my notes to enter college. Which was a relief, since I had to run to the mall to look for a gift to give Tom for his birthday. I had been looking for weeks and I didn't find anything interesting to give to my best friend. Best friend isn't it? Nothing more than this...

Untangled - Part 6

He parks the car outside of her apartment and sighs heavily, “Let’s talk upstairs,” He walks around the front of the car to open her door, looking around with a scowl on his face. Neither of then say a word until they reach the elevator.

Inspired by: Butterflies // Kacey Musgraves

Y/N - Your name

S/N - Sisters name

B/I/L - Brother-in-Law

B/N - Brothers Name

B/F/N - Best Friends Name

Y/N turns her shower on and really looks at herself in the mirror for the first time in hours, “You just got laid, bitch.” By Henry Cavill no less, but what does that even mean? Was he actually that into her? He seems to be but he is an actor. He asked her to lunch, though. And technically, for another date. Did last night actually happen? The hot water feels renewing, refreshing. Should she tell B/F/N? Hell, she wouldn’t even have told her S/N if she hadn’t walk in on them. She can only imagine what was going through her sisters head. Who wouldn’t go nuts if they saw a practically nude man like that? Stepping out, she grabs her phone and decides to text B/F/N.

Y/N: I have something to tell you.

B/F/N: Please do not scare me.

Y/N: It’s nothing bad. I slept with someone last night!

B/F/N: OMG WHO

Y/N: That’s the part I’m having trouble with

B/F/N: What

B/F/N: Jesus Christ, you didn’t sleep with [Your Ex] did you??

Y/N: Bitch. No.

B/F/N: Why are you being so weird then?

Y/N: Because he’s kinda like famous.

B/F/N: Excuse me??

Y/N: You CAN NOT tell anyone ok?

B/F/N: Lmao did you sleep with a superhero or something? What’s with the secret??

Y/N: Funny you should say that 🙃

B/F/N: Ummmm what

Y/N: I may or may not have slept with the guy who plays superman.

B/F/N: Stop it.

Y/N: I did.

B/F/N: Seriously?

Y/N: We’re going to lunch in a little bit.

B/F/N: I’m fucking dying right now.

Y/N: How do you think I feel!?

B/F/N: You gonna give up the deets?

Y/N: I will later. I need to get ready.

B/F/N: bitch 😒

Y/N: You love it 💕

B/F/N: You know waiting on this is gonna kill me

Y/N: I’ll get text you soon!

Henry has a large smile on his face when Y/N arrives, “Hello there,” they share a quick cheek kiss before sitting at a cozy table by the window. They make small talk and Henry takes a picture with a little girl who said that wonder woman was her favorite but he’s second. He was sweet and gentle, he asked for her name and if she’s excited for halloween. He told her to try not to eat too many sweeties, which is much cuter than saying, ‘candy’.

“You’re somethin’ else,” She’s sure her face is going to get stuff in a permanent smile.

His face slightly twists, “Why? What’d I do?”

“You’re kind. You were so sweet to her.” She can practically feel the tug on her ovaries.

The waiter arrives to take their order. He was visibly starstruck and tripped over his words, “It’s so cool that you’re on a date with Geralt!”

She amuses him. “I know. Although, I think I prefer the grey hair.” Once they all have a laugh, the waiter trots off to the kitchen.

“Are you a nerd, Y/N?”

She attempts to be serious, “I’ll show you my Fifth Element miniatures later. How was your little trip?”

He bites his lip, “So, I got some news while back at the hotel,”

“Oh yeah? Anything scandalous?”

He nervously laughs, “I wish. I, uh,  have to go back home for a week to do press.”

“Are you excited to go home for a bit?”

“Yes, and No,” he pushes a fork around and focuses on it, “I love going home, and I like working.”

She senses that there’s something else, “But?”

Henry continues, “But I’ve met a girl in a bar and I wasn’t finished getting to know her,” he wonders how many times he can make her blush, he’s sure it’s never enough.

“Wanna make a deal, Cavill?”

He perks up his eyebrow, “What you offering, Y/L/N?”

“How about, you let me know when you get back and I let you know where to find me.”

He doesn’t hesitate, “Deal.”

The waiter brings their sandwiches and they enjoy their meal while poking each others legs under the table like children. In this moment, he completely forgets who he is. Right now, he’s just Henry. He’s Henry who likes to eat sandwiches with cute woman and talk about his dog and the show he’s been trying to watch for months. He feels good.

Y/N almost chokes on her food laughing at story concerning an unfortunate tongue biting accident that occurred during his first kiss, “What did you do?”

“I jumped and kind of yelled in pain, and I think she cried. She never looked at me again.”

“I’m happy to report my first kiss was not as tragic,” he asks her to go on and she grins, “I was about 14 and there was a boy who would visit his grandma a few times during the summer. I had known him forever, his grandma lived across the street so we’d play together. One day, we were playing spotlight with a bunch of the neighborhood kids and he just kissed me. Kissed me right there beside Mr. Hoffmans car.”

“That’s very cute,” he could get a stomach ache with how sweet she was.

“It was,” She takes a sip of her water, “I have no idea what happened to him, either.”

Henry watches her, a habit he doesn’t plan on breaking, “You wanna go for a walk?”

“If you buy be coffee first,” Y/N and her addiction to warm drinks is what makes this her favorite time of year.

“You got it.” After some deliberation, Henry finally convinces Y/N that he’s paying for her food, and coffee, too.

They begin their stroll around the chilly city, stealing small looks at one another, “So, When do you leave?”

He sighs, “Tomorrow evening,”

“That sounds like an awful time for a flight,” Y/N’s head gravitates towards his shoulder.

“I’m a little used to it now. Leave late on the east coast, arrive in the morning in the UK,”

“Don’t you get tired?” She asks him so genuinely, with so much concern.

“I’m always tired,” Henry gives her a soft chuckle.

Y/N searches his face, “You seem to sleep pretty good to me,”

“There’s an exception, Darling,” Henry can’t help but feel a little bashful.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, you, it was nice and your blankets are so soft.”

She giggles and leans into him again for a short side hug, “You’re a cliche that I have no problem with,”

“I am not,” He flicks her nose.

“Wha—!” She flicks his in return, “How very dare you?”

He kisses the tip of her nose and apologizes, “You’re lucky you’re cute.”

“You’re lucky you got me coffee,” She pants jokingly after taking a large sip.

“You’re quite the caffeine addict. Late night tea, 16 ounce coffees,”

“What can I say? I’m a starving artist, it was either cigarettes or giant cups of piping hot coffee, I chose the coffee,” she pulls on the collar of his shirt and he’s tempted to kiss her again, but if he kisses her now, he doesn’t know if he can find the will to stop. There’s just something about her.

They decide to circle back around and Y/N pulls out her phone to get a ride, “I’ll take you home, why didn’t you drive today?”

She looks slightly embarrassed, “Oh, my tail light went out the other night and the garage won’t take it until Friday. They ticket you for everything up here, so I didn’t wanna risk it.”

Henry escorts her to the car, politely opening and closing her door. Just a few minutes into the drive Y/N’s phone goes off, “Oh god, it’s my mom.”

He turns the radio down and whispers, “I won’t make peep.”

She answers the phone as if she’s alone and not with a world famous actor, “Hey, mama,”

“Is there something you need to tell me?” There’s no way her sister would have told her anything, even if she threatened to do so. Y/N is taking too long and her mother repeats herself.

“No? What do you mean?” She notices Henry look at her and then look back at the road.

Her mother sighs “The boy who cuts our grass showed me a picture of you with a certain someone.”

“A picture?” If they weren’t already at a stop light, Henry thinks he might have slammed on the breaks.

“Y/N, theres a bunch! He’s kissing your nose and rubbing your leg while you eat a sandwich. Why didn’t you tell me you were seeing someone? And HIM?”

“I’m not,” she collapses onto her couch, “I just met him.”

“Are you lying?” Mothers always know.

The light turns green but he’s still looking at her, as if he’s trying to hear the conversation, “No, mother,” She mouths to him, ‘it’s green,”

But accidentally lets out a, “Oh, sorry, Darling.”

Her mother gasps in disbelief, “You slept with him!”

Her eyes practically fly out of her skull, “What! How—no I did not!”

“He called you ‘Darling’. That’s some sweet talk, I don’t think this is a good idea. You always say you like your privacy.” Her mother always knew what her girls were really up to. Mothers always know.

“I know, ma, but you’re reading way too much into this,” She exhales, “can we talk about this later?”

And just like all mothers, she refuses to let up,“No, how did you even meet him?”

“We were at Benny’s and he was there.”

“Out of all the bars,” She just knows her mom is rolling her eyes.

“He’s kind, fun to talk to.” Henry actually blushes and can’t contain his smile.

“I googled him.” Oh, of course, “He’s 10 years older than you.”

“You’re older than dad.” He tenses, he’s a little familiar with this, and he understands, but Y/N was very grown and very independent. He liked her for her, not her age. Ok, so her being attractive was a plus, but he had no intention of ‘playing’ her.

“I’m one year older than your father, thank you.”

“I’m very aware of my age,” She hated this. It didn’t matter how old Y/N was, she was the baby, the little one, the one protected one in her family.

“Honey, I’m serious.” Mothers.

She knows her mother means well, but can’t a girl live? “Why are y’all so worked up over this? I—,”

“Who’s y’all?”, Y/N spilled the beans, “You said you just met.”

“S/N met him that night I did,” and saw him practically naked the next morning, “and B/I/L...and John.”

“Well, now the whole world knows you’re sleeping with him.”

“I’m not sleeping with him,” He snaps her a look and she gives on in return as a warning to him, he better not make a sound.

“Are you being safe?”

“Oh my god! Yes, I’m being safe!” Henry has to stifle his laughter by covering his mouth.

“Ah-Ha, you are sleeping with him,” Great.

Y/N throws her head back on the headrest, “Jesus, ya’ll are being really intrusive. You know that, right?”

“I’m your mother. It’s my job to worry about you.”

“And I’m fine, Mama.” He finds it endearing that they call her ‘Mama’. It’s sweet and brings out her accent. “Can I call you later?”

She stalls, “I guess, but I’m not done talking about this. It’s not every day your daughter get’s involved with a warlock,”

“It’s a Witcher, Ma, not a warlock.” Henry can’t keep his laugh in this time, causing Y/N to slap his arm.

He clears his throat, “Sorry,”

She can feel her mothers glare through the phone, “I’ll talk to you later, ok? I love you.”

“I love you, too. Bye,” She turn towards him, “Well, we’ve been had.”

“I’m so sorry.” He looks all too apologetic, “I wasn’t thinking about it. I’m sorry.”

While she is nervous, she knows it’s not his fault, “Don’t be sorry. I still had a good date with you, Her phone buzzes for was seems like a dozen times in a row, “Oh,”

Henry’s mood has completely shifted. He already felt as if his feelings for her were escalating too quickly, and now this? It had only been a couple of days, “Don’t look at them.”

She scrunches her nose, “Huh?”

He parks the car outside of her apartment and sighs heavily, “Let’s talk upstairs,” He walks around the front of the car to open her door, looking around with a scowl on his face. Neither of then say a word until they reach the elevator.

She clicks her tongue a few times in hopes that he breaks the silence first, he doesn’t and she finally speaks up, “What did you mean don’t look at them?”

He waits until the doors open to her floor, “Don’t look at those things they tag you in. Some people are cruel for no reason.”

Henry can tell she’s nervous and getting a bit worked up. She’s struggling with the keys and can’t get the door unlocked. She gets so frustrated that she lets out an all too loud, “Fuck!” Her elderly neighbor, Mrs. Timmons, opens her door to see what causes the ruckus, “Sorry, Mrs. Timmons.” The woman disappears back into her apartment with a huff.

Y/N tries to open the door again and flings it open, closing it and leaning against it after it’s closed, “I’m so sorry for today.” He truly looks sorrowful and guilty.

“It’s not your fault,” She takes her coat off, then her shoes, and plops down on the couch, “I’m just—overwhelmed, I think.”

“You don’t deserve to be spied on like that,” He sits beside her and rests his elbows on his knees, “have you picture taken without you knowing.”

She scoffs, “You don’t either. Just ‘cause you're in movies doesn’t mean you should have to get you privacy violated.” She takes the hair tie from her wrist and begins to braid her hair, “I can’t believe I told my mom I slept with you.”

He laughs, “Am I really that bad?”

She falls to the side, groaning as she face plants the cushion, “No, I just don’t talk about those things with her. I mean, not really.”

“I can barely hear you,” He pokes her head and she sits back up.

“Do you tell your mom who you mess around with?”

“I can’t say that I do,”

“I need to turn off the notifications. That noise is going to drive me crazy.”

“You don’t have to but maybe making stuff private would help,”

“It’s all private already, these are like, people I don’t even really talk to or I haven’t talked to for years. Stupid Facebook.” She tosses her phone onto a chair and looks at Henry, who still has a solemn gaze, “I’m pretty good at covering my tracks, you know? I don’t use twitter, my instagram is private. Whatever this is, all of that stuff isn’t gonna get in the way.”

He shrugs, “I understand if you don’t want to deal with it,”

“It’s not exactly normal, is it?”

“No,” His tone has changed. It’s no longer chipper, just melancholy.

“Do you still want to see each other when you come back?”

“If you let me,”

She kisses his cheek quickly, “I wouldn’t have asked,”

“I do like you. Last night was just a huge bonus,” He hisses, “That sounded kind of gross,”

“I know what you meant,” She gives him a light and comforting smile.

“I have to ask; Are you pissed?”

Y/N tilts her head to the side, “Just unprepared, I guess.”

“Yeah, you can’t really prepare yourself for your mum to ask who you’re sleeping with,”

“I’m sorry my family is,” she pauses, “dramatic.”

“They’re not,” He admires a strong family bonds, he strives to create one of his own one of these days.

“Henry, it sounds like my sister wants to punch you and my mom freaked out, too.”

“Any chance I can get in good with your dad?” She gives him a blank stare, “I’m only joking.”

“B/F/N is gonna shit a brick.”

“And B/F/N is?”

“She’s my best friend. She’s practically our sister,” she remembers their text conversation, “oh, god, my mom probably called her.”

He chuckles, “You’ve got quite the circle.”

“I know, I’m sorry. They’re just protective and, yeah.” She’s tried not to show her embarrassment but it’s written in her body language.

“It’s not a big deal, I understand. It’s a tricky situation,” Tricky, indeed, but if anything this just made Henry want to further prove himself.

Y/N’s phone begins to ring and she excuses herself, “Sorry, I have to answer this one.”

Henry simply nods, interlacing his fingers and relaxing into the couch. He watches her walk around a small room, her hands up in the air and at times, writing things down. He leans to the side to get a better look. He doesn’t mean to be nosy but something catches his eye, its a painting. He can only see part of it but he already loves it. Some colors blend and others are blocked together, there’s lines and shapes. If she lets him, he’d love to explore more.

She reappears and gets back to her spot on the couch, “That looks like a fun room,”

“It’s where I paint,” She fiddles with her pant leg, “I have a show coming up,”

“Oh, yeah? Where?” She’s taken aback by his enthusiasm.

“It’s called Desmond’s,” She grins so widely that Henry notices a small dimple beside her mouth, “it's my second show there.”

“That’s amazing,”

“Thank you,” The shyness that overcomes her when she talks about her work, it’s akin to enchantment.

“Will you show me your work one of these days?” Henry looks as if he’s glowing at the possible opportunity.

“Hmm,” She taps her chin, faking thought, ”maybe.”

“I’ll take a maybe.” He’s more than glad for the maybe.

“I don’t think any of these are yours,” He waves his finger around happily.

“Hmm,” He’s correct, these are gifts or purchased from other artists, “I wanna see if you can spot them.”

He points toward her studio, “And I can’t look in there?”

Y/N shakes her head, “No, that doesn’t count.”

“I just want to see what you got in there. I know where I can spot one.”

She wants to call his bluff, “You do, do you?”

“At the bar,” He states it so matter of factly, “there’s a really cool mural on the back wall where the tables are.”

He figured it out too quick, “How did you know that was me?”

“It looks like you,” He shrugs, as if that’s not a completely sweet thing to say.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah, it has the best colors. Your colors.” Wow.

“Stop that.” He looks away and looks back to her, confused as to what he did, “You cannot be so cute when you’re so, I don’t know, that.” She wiggles her fingers at him and he get’s all too playful again.

Henry knows he’s good looking but it’s funny how she doesn’t even attempt to hide how it affects her, “And what’s that?” He refuses to break eye contact. If she likes how he looks, then he’s gonna make her look at him. She looks away and he catches her cheek in his hand, slowly turning it back to him, “Hmm?”

This is another one of his unfair games. She knows what he’s doing, and he knows she knows. His thumb traces her mouth and she bits the tip of it, but he doesn’t flinch. His hand travels down to her throat, feeling her breathe, “You know what you are.” He smiles in a way that could make her collapse if she wasn’t already on the couch. “Charming,” He leans forward and pulls her closer by her throat. An act so suggestive, yet gentle, “Handsome,” He signals her to come closer by pulling again, this time she’s brushing her lips against his chin, “Magnetic.”

He holds her there, so close but not close enough. His eyes look down into hers, only inches away but enough to make her feel small, but safe. She feels slightly dominated by it, and she likes it. “Such a pretty girl,” he can feel her swallow, letting him know her mouth has ben watering for him, “my girl”. He kisses her forehead and lets her go but stands up, “I’ll let you know when my flight gets in, Sweetheart.” He walks to the door with a smirk, knowing what he’s just done.

Y/N’s mouth is left agape, even after the door closes behind him, “Motherfucker.”

It's All About You Tonight

Relationship: Loki × TransMale! Reader

Location: Asgard

AU: Loki's Guardian AU { MADE BY ME }

Warnings: None I guess

[A/N]

When I'm posting it, is the second day of July, which means my birthday. This is the reason why this one shot is about birthday. I'm old lmao. I hope you will enjoy this oneshot! ^^

1 month ago

"Can you say it one more time, brother?" Thor asked, looking at his brother with small confusion on his face.

It was one month to (Y/N)'s birthday. Loki was in room with his brother and some other people talking about the plan for guardian's special day.

"Alright. I will say this one more." Loki sighed and stood up. He had to explain plan for the fourth time. "Two week before (Y/N)'s birthday, I will give him a lot of work, so he will think about the things that he have to do and he will forget about his birthday." God explained. "Then I will give him a letter with things to do and here comes Thor. He will spend the entire day with (Y/N), helping him with chores and making sure he won't know about the surprise that we are going to make. Any questions? No? Great. Now we need to talk about the surprise..."

Today

(Y/N) was woke up by alarm coming from his phone. It was another day of hard work. Man signed and got out of the bed and then he noticed a letter on his bedside cabinet. (Y/N) took the letter and read it.

"Good morning, dear.

When you're reading this, I'm not on Asgard. I have things to do. Today I'm leaving you with my brother. Thor will help you with your chores and he will accompany you, so you are not going to feel alone. After you will be done with everything, in your room I will leave armor that I want you to wear and then meet me at 8.00 pm. in ballroom. Not later, not earlier.

Here are the things I want you to do today:..."

It wasn't anything new. Sometimes Loki had other things to do and he was leaving his warrior on Asgard with chores. It wasn't happening often.

(Y/N) sighed, thinking about everything he needed to do. This will be long day for him. Man walked to the bathroom and took a quick shower. After that he made his hair and wore his armor that he was everyday. Then he ate breakfast, brushed his teeth and he was ready to start his day.

Guardian was walking around the castle, looking for a God Of Thunder. After 5 minutes, he finally saw him in one of hallways.

"Oh, hi Thor!" (Y/N) greeted taller man. "How are you doing?"

"Hello (Y/N). I am doing very well. How about you?" Thor looked at the smaller male.

"I'm good. Have you heard about Loki's plan?"

"I did. Are you ready to start this day?"

"Of course I am." (Y/N) smiled. "Loki told you where he is going?"

"Unfortunately he didn't, but I think it's nothing you should worry about. We shall go to work."

"Yeah, we should, let's go.

"Are you sure you don't want me to help you? These weapons are really heavy." God Of Thunder asked, looking at Midgardian who was walking with weapons and putting them on it's place.

"You know that I thought other people are doing this?" (Y/N) murmured to himself, try not to fall.

"What do you mean by that? You that high ranked that you're not going to do this?" Thor laughed.

"Am I not that strong as you or Loki are. That's the reason."

"Maybe you will be stronger after this." Thor joked, (Y/N) giggled.

"Who knows. Do you think Loki is in trouble?"

"I hope not. Why do you think he might be in trouble? Is this because he wasn't in trouble for long time?" Thor joked, making Midgardian laugh loudly and making him almost falling again.

"T-thor!" He cried and laughed trying to calm down. "Please don't distract me. Your brother is great and we both don't want him to get in any kind of trouble." Guardian blushed a little, God noticed it, but decided to say nothing about it. "You really need to stop making me laugh, because I will never done with these weapons, if you will keep that up."

"Is there anything other for you to do than things from list?"

"Loki wrote that he want to meet at 8.00 PM in ballroom, so I don't want to be late. I don't want to meet angry Loki."

"Oh. Then let me help, so you're not going to meet angry Loki." God Of Thunder knew that Loki wanted to meet with (Y/N). At 8.00 PM the surprise is going to happen. Of course, he had to act surprised and act like he didn't knew about it.

"Alright. Actually help will be useful." (Y/N) smiled, looking at Thor who started picking weapons. "Thank you."

"Always here to help." Thor smiled back.

(Y/N) walked to his room, closing the door behind him. He had around hour and half to 8:00 PM. Male knew that he had not too much time for anything, so he decided to walk to the bathroom.

He took off his armor and got into a huge bathtub. It was full of water as always. After a long day, he needed to relax a little bit and breathe. After washing himself, he got out of the bathroom with two towels, one on head and one around his hips. He decided to take a closer look on the armor that Loki left for him. It was mostly green and black, with some gold details. Colors made the armor look like the one that Loki had, which was of course the point of it.

He had put the armor and laid down on the bed. His eyes got onto his chest, on his surgery scars. (Y/N) started thinking about them. What could happen is he didn't got top surgery? What would happen if he wouldn't be able to get? What he would do? Who knows.

Then his eyes got onto the book that he had left on the bed. Young male had around hour to go, so why wouldn't he he spend his time, calming down before meeting Loki. Without thinking, he started reading a book from moment that he ended it.

Around 40 minutes went, (Y/N) was almost finished with the book. He had put it down on the bed next to him. He threw the towels on the bed, got his underwear and armor of course, and then got into the bathroom starting putting everything on himself. It didn't took him a long time. He got back with towels to bathroom, leaving them in the room. He got out once again and stepped in front of mirror, looking at himself. He fixed his hair and admired how he looked at the moment. He looked like the Greatest Warrior Of Asgard. After a few moments he decided to finally go. He had 10 minutes to get to the ballroom, so he started to slowly go into the room. No one, except guardians, was a the halls of the castle. It made a young male pretty surprised.

When he was at the place, he saw a Loki himself standing in front of the big door. (Y/N) walked to him.

"Hello, My Prince. You wanted to see me, so here I am." He said with a smile on his face.

"Good to see you as well. You are here earlier than I expected you to be. Do you know what I wanted you to be here?" Loki asked rising his brow. It was the money which made (Y/N) feel stressed. God Of Mischief asked a question like that when it was something important, like someone's birthday or Asgardian's holidays.

"I'm sorry, but I don't remember what day is this." Loki smirked at this. "Please tell this is not important."

"It depends what is important for you. For me and some other people, it is a very important day. In my opinion, it should be important for you as well." It stressed him even more. He thought that under that smile, Loki was mad and this is not going do end good for him. In fact, Asgardian was satisfied with the fact that his warrior forgot about everything. "I think you should go inside and see yourself, what am I talking about."

The door opened. Men stepped inside. (Y/N) closest friends were inside of the room, avengers and other seeing a young male yelled "Happy Birthday!" Seeing him.

"Did you made this for me?" Male turned to Loki with sparkles in his eyes. God nodded.

"Not alone, but I did. Happy birthday." He said. (Y/N) quietly said "Thank you.", he couldn't say anything else, because he still couldn't believe what was happening.

"Now go and have some fun. I will talk to you later." Loki smiled and left (Y/N) who went to see avengers.

"Well done, brother." Thor said as he had put his hand on his brother's shoulder. "He got he only a minute ago and I can tell that he likes this surprise."

"Of course he does. A months of planning, every detail carefully made, it if perfect indeed."

"What about the 'your' part of the plan?" Blond haired God teased with a smirk on his face. Loki only made a sound of annoyance, showing Thor how he didn't wanted to be teased about it.

"It will wait. We have whole night, so let him enjoy what we had made."

"Alright."

Time went and finally music started playing. It was a time for a first dance. Loki knew what that meant and he got to (Y/N).

"How is my favourite warrior doing?" He asked.

"Good, how about you?"

"Fine." He simply said. "Would give a pleasure and let me dance with you?"

"Wh-what?" (Y/N) laughed a little nervously, not knowing what was happening.

"Would you like to dance with me?" God repeated and moved his hand right in front of smaller male, wanting him to give him his own hand.

"I'm don't if I'm allowed to--"

"Of course you are. It's your birthday." He had cut him off. "Oh please, don't make kneel in front of you and start begging you. Or maybe you want me to be embarrassed in front of everybody?" Asgardian smirked, waiting for (Y/N) reaction.

(Y/N) smiled to himself thinking about this. Loki, God Of Mischief, kneeling in front of him, begging him for a dance while everything would be looking. It would be so much fun, but he didn't want him to be embarrassed.

"How is it going to be?"

"Let's dance." He had put his hand on Loki's one and held it. Second one got on his shoulder, as the God gently put his hand on his waist. Loki pulled him in the middle of ballroom, making everybody looking at them.

"You look ravishing and stunning, my dear." Loki complemented.

"Thank you. This armor was probably your idea, am I right?"

"You're right, this is one of my ideas that might surprise you."

Loki was moving with such a grace, just like every of his movements was perfectly trained, (Y/N) wouldn't be surprised if Loki was training thousands of times for this. He wasn't think much in the moment, he was looking into God's green eyes, his lustful smile was still on his face. Loki came closer to (Y/N) and leaned down to his ear.

"Do you feel it? The way everyone is looking at you?" He whispered to his ear, making him shiver a little. "It's all about you tonight. Nobody else, only you matter tonight, especially right now. Some people probably would want to have party of this kind, but they dont deserve it as much as you do. Tell me how do you feel right now."

"Special." He said with a soft smile on his face. "Thank you, Loki. It's the best day of my life."

"You're welcome, dear. I'm glad you like this. Is anything I can do to make this day even better?"

"How about some more dances?"

"Oh really? At first you didn't seem to be interested in dancing with me." Loki teased.

"I had changed my mind." He laughed, continuing dancing.

Human World Adventures

Part 1

Asmo: He actually locked the door...

Solomon: He did-

Levi: Oh sht- No no no no no!! Ichigo!! [runs straight to wherever the frick they are]

Mammon: What's going on...?

Belphie: Beel carried her into technically our room, then he locked the door.

Mammon: Oh sht! I'm coming with you Levi!!

inside the room, someone is currently making out. Luckily they didn't go all the way but this pink-haired girl has a lot of hickeys on her skin. As their kiss proceeds, they hear a loud knocking by the room.

Mammon: Beel! You glutton of a demon!! Stay away from her!!

Levi: Don't you dare taint her!! Despite her being a demon she's still innocent!!

Ichigo: ?? What's going on??

Beel: .... [staring at the door]

Ichigo: Hon?

Beel: Let's just ignore them-

Ichigo: But- [lmao she got cut off by a kiss yet again]

Outside Mammon and Levi are freaking out, Asmo and Solomon are cracking up while Belphie is already asleep on the couch. Lucifer decides to leave and help Diavolo and Barbatos on their unpacking.

Mammon: I swear to Lord Diavolo if you taint her I'm killing you!!

Levi: Open the damn door, Beelzebub!!

Inside, Ichigo finally stopped the kiss and steps out to open the door. She does feel bad for them considering they have zero ideas what happens in that room and thought of the worse. Once she opened the door, Levi and Mammon instantly drag her out.

Mammon: He didn't do anything right?!

Levi: You're safe right?! Nothing bad happened right?!

Ichigo: N-not that I know off...^^

Asmo: Oh my~

Ichigo: What?

Asmo: I see my little brother marked you, and it's quite many as well...^^

Ichigo, Mammon, and Levi: He what?!

Asmo: I can help with concealers if you're going out soon.

Ichigo: Not really, but-

Beel: Don't. I put those there for a reason.

Ichigo: o////o Eh?

Asmo: ooh~ Quite a possessive one are you~

Ichigo: I'll just stay here for a while I guess...;-;

Mammon: Lucifer actually sets up another room for you for a reason!

Ichigo: I don't think he wants me out of here.... judging by his tight grip on me.

Mammon: [glaring at Beel]

Beel: [glaring back lol]

As the glaring proceeds, they hear Lucifer's voice from downstairs. Of course, the couple needs to separate and gotta hear what he has to say.

Lucifer: Ichigo, I've set a room for you! Beel was supposed to be rooming with Belphie actually^^

Ichigo: I see, thanks a lot, Luci!

Beel: Even here?

Lucifer: Yes, even here. Now hands-off. I don't want any more chaos and I'm sure I can trust you considering you barely made troubles unless it's related to food.

Asmo: He might make one at night~

Lucifer: Asmodeus Morningstar!

Asmo: ....or not^^

As the brothers continue to talk, Ichigo's phone starts to vibrate.

Ichigo: A phone call... oh! It's from Haruka. Hon, can you let me go for a while?

Beel: You can answer it just fine though

Ichigo: [chuckles] You're quite clingy today are you^^ Oh well.

With that Ichigo answers the phone call with Haruka telling her about the extra room in her hotel.

Ichigo: Eh? I can stay there? With you guys?

Haruka: Yeah! Because there are like five people, Luke, unfortunately, needs to room alone so maybe if you'd like to join us maybe Luke won't be lonely and I can room with you.

Ichigo: That's actually a good idea, I can do that! Maybe tomorrow...? Because a certain demon is being a little too clingy today^^

Haruka: Beel? Well, that's fine. I guess... you can come by tomorow^^ It's really late too.

Ichigo: Yeah, it was unfortunate. But I'd vi- Luke?!

Luke: Ichigoo!! Did those demons do anything to you?!

Ichigo: Of course not^^

Luke: Oh Thank God! I was getting worried since you're the only girl in that house and Solomon told me that Beel instantly carries you away! He didn't do anything bad right?!

Ichigo turns bright red at the question while her boyfriend stares confusedly.

Ichigo: I don't think so at least. I don't think he did anything bad. How's the hotel? ^^

Luke: It's great! The decor reminds me of the celestial realm and they gave us fluffy pillows!

Ichigo: That's great!

In the other line, Ichigo can hear Michael calling for Luke and Haruka.

Luke: :(( well Michael is calling us... so I guess I'll hang up

Ichigo: That's okay^^ See you guys tomorow~

Luke: Yeah! I can't wait!

Finally Luke hang up on Haruka's phone. Ichigo can feel Beel's jealous aura just from behind her, of course, she needs to calm him down right now.

Ichigo: Let me remind you that Luke is a kid, Haruka and Simeon are engaged and Michael is married.

Beel: So you're going to stay there tomorrow night? [puppy eyes]

Ichigo: Well... I might. Considering Luke can't sleep alone. So I can room with Haruka and all. I'll be okay.

Beel: But-

Ichigo: You're still scared of getting separated from me aren't you?

Beel: [nods] I almost lost you in that battle and you barely summoned me...

Ichigo: It's because I don't wanna burden you. [pats Beel] but if you don't want me to go I can stay^^

Beel: You would...?

Ichigo: I might unless you can control yourself. Then I might move~

Beel: Looking this cute might have been a challenge to control myself against my desire.

Ichigo: I don't remember you being the avatar of lust

Beel: I might do something against my sins towards you though-

Ichigo: Like....?

Solomon: OKAY YOU TWO! GET A ROOM! THE SEXUAL TENSION IS TOO MUCH!!

Beel: I might

Ichigo: Beelzebub!

Meanwhile, at the hotel, Haruka is unpacking her things in her room and so is Simeon. considering she's really dirty from that battle she decides to take a shower or bath, whichever the hotel gives.

Haruka: Hey, Simeon! Can I wash up first? I feel really dirty

Simeon: That's okay^^ I'll just unpack as you wash up

Haruka: Okay!

As Haruka is washing up, Luke decides to visit and play with Simeon in that room. As he and Luke are playing, he keeps on getting glimpses of Satan staring at his fiance. He did ignore it at first now that he thought of it, Satan probably hasn't moved on completely and still holds feelings for her. Luckily he didn't do anything so he's fine with it.

Suddenly Simeon hears a voice from the bathroom. The song is "A dream is a wish your heart makes" from Cinderella. Simeon is impressed by her voice as he comes closer to listen to it and so did Luke.

Luke: Whoa! She has a really good voice!

Simeon: Indeed she does.

Haruka of course is oblivious and keeps on singing until she finishes her shower. Once she comes out, Simeon and Luke both panic and try to escape but instead they got smacked by the bathroom door.

Haruka: Oh my goodness! Are you two okay?!

Simeon: ....yea?

Luke: Ouch ;-;

Haruka: Oh no! Luke!

Haruka: Why are you guys even near the door in the first place?

Simeon:...

Haruka: ....are you guys...

Simeon: What?! No! Why would I?!

Haruka: Then why are you there? You know that's dangerous!

Simeon: ....

Luke: ....

Haruka: Luke?

Luke: W-we were just listening to your singing.... it was really nice...hehe

Haruka: oh.. wait what?!

Luke: You really have a nice voice, so we went to listen.

Haruka: Well you don't have to actually stand in front of the door!

Simeon: Curiosity kills the cat I guess...

Haruka: Just go! I need to change!

With that Simeon and Luke instantly runs off the room to let Haruka change. Now let's go back to the mansion. Ichigo is between Lucifer and Beel who are arguing about the room arrangements.

Lucifer: I think it'd be best for Ichigo to have a room on her own.

Beel: She slept with me just fine. I don't see a reason why she should sleep alone!

Lucifer: With that incident happening, I don't think having her sleep with you is a good idea considering you have 0 skills in controlling yourself.

Asmo: Why don't she just sleep in my room? I'm sure it'd be safer.

Lucifer: I'm most certain that that wouldn't be safe.

Asmo: I won't do anything to her~ Cross my heart~

Lucifer: One, that's a blatant lie. Second, she'll have her own room and that's final!

Ichigo sighs and decides to leave the area because they're too noisy. Beel of course instantly follows her. At first, he thought she'd go to her room or probably his room but to his surprise, she goes to Satan's room.

Ichigo: Hey buddy, you okay there?

Satan: I don't know.... perhaps not...?

Ichigo: Well there's apple pie in the fridge if you're hungry.

Satan: I'm not in a mood for food.

Ichigo: It still hurts doesn't it [sits beside him]

Satan: Yeah... I thought we were destined together but here we are. Her being happier with Simeon. Sure I'm glad she's happy but it still hurts me nonetheless.

Ichigo: You'll be okay. I'm sure it'll pass. As you said before, if you're destined together you can meet in the next life.

Satan: You're right, thanks a lot, Ichigo.

Ichigo: You're wel- [sees Beel staring at them by the door] Beel?

Satan: ?? What is he doing here? And why is he staring at me??

Ichigo: I'm unsure^^ But it'll pass. Dinner is soon, catch you later?

Satan: Yeah, thanks a lot though.

Ichigo: It's the least I could do. You need to cheer up!

Satan nods with a slight laugh as Ichigo exits the door, pushing Beel out.

Ichigo: Why are you here? I thought I left you to argue with Lucifer and the others!

Instead of an answer, Beel pins her into a wall shocking the pink-haired girl. Sure she did notice Beel acting more possessive to her but this is not what she expected. The other brothers and probably Diavolo or Barbatos are downstairs yet here he is pinning her down by the wall!

Ichigo: B-Beel, they're downstairs!

Beel: Let them watch

Ichigo: But Beel- Hold on! Listen to me!

Beel pulls away in confusion as his girlfriend's cheeks are bright red. One she's very flustered, two she's embarrassed because they're about to do whatever this is in front of this family.

Ichigo: I know you're probably jealous because I've been interacting more with your brothers rather than you but please understand Satan's situation. He's really heartbroken now and I'm trying my best to cheer him up so he won't be sad anymore, I'm just being a good friend!

Beel: I do trust you, sugar. What I don't trust is them! Remember the last time I let you hang out with them? Belphie turns out to have feelings for you, Solomon almost kissed you at 3 a.m... who knows what else would happen...

Ichigo: I know, but I'll be okay. You know I'm only yours, right?

Beel: Yes you are. The mark is there for a reason.

Ichigo: Exactly^^

Mammon: Can't you two just knock it off! There are singles here!!

The couple looks back to see Mammon complaining about their PDA downstairs while Lucifer and Barbatos are busy creating a barrier so Solomon won't enter the kitchen.

Ichigo: Oh? What's going on?

Asmo: They're creating a barrier so Solomon can't enter the kitchen.

Beel: We're cooking today?

Ichigo: I think so. Well time to work, honeybear~ No eating the ingredients though!

Beel: I'll try^^

Ichigo: Want me to use the pact against you?

Beel: If that's what it takes, sure. At least I won't disturb you while you're cooking~

Asmo: He might disturb you in other ways~

Beel: Asmo-

Asmo: No need to get aggressive, little brother. I'm just telling the truth. You know I can smell lust from far away don't you, especially with her wearing such short shorts.

Beel: Do you maybe...wanna change?

Ichigo: It's too hot for me to change so no.

Beel: Alright then, use the pact on me so we can get to work

Ichigo: Okay! I command you, Beelzebub Morningstar, to not eat the ingredients or any food supplies in the kitchen!

Ichigo: We're all set, Barb! Let's get to work!

Barbatos: I'm glad. Let's go^^

At the same time, Haruka finally finished changing and it now chilling on her bed until she hears a knock on her door, turns out when she opens it, it's Michael and Rosaria.

Haruka: Michael, Rosaria!

Rosaria: Hello, dear^^

Haruka: Oh, what brings you here?

Michael: We're planning on eating out today, do you guys want to come?

Haruka: I do! I'll let Simeon and Luke know real quick!

Rosaria: Take your time, dear^^

With that, Haruka calls for Simeon and Luke, unfortunately, Luke is still stuck in the bathroom using his pants.

Haruka: Luke! Hurry up, we don't have time!

Luke: I am!! Just give me a sec!!

Haruka: Just hurry!!

After a few minutes, Luke finally gets out all set.

Luke: Aaaa!! Don't leave me yet!!

Simeon: We're still waiting for the lift, don't worry^^

Luke: ...oh- :o

Finally, the lift's here and off they go to the restaurant. After more discussion, they decide to eat at a seafood restaurant. Now back to the mansion, the food is finally done. Ichigo made Apple pie and Pasta while Barbatos made grilled salmon! There's a lot of dishes that the two of them need help in serving them, luckily Asmo and Beel are there to help them.

Asmo: Whoa! That's so pretty! This is a devilgram worthy dish! [taking pictures of the food as soon as it's set]

Ichigo: Well we've done our best^^

Satan: You really made apple pie [he's touched]

Ichigo: I did, so you'll cheer up!

Satan: Well, I appreciate it^^ Thank you, Ichigo!

Ichigo: You're welcome! That's what friends are for!

Suddenly Diavolo and the others came out to see the food.

Diavolo: Wow! That's a lot of food! Good job, Barbatos, Ichigo!

Barbatos: All the best for you M'lord^^

Levi: Whoa! Awesome!

Belphie: Did I just smell Salmon-

Levi: Salmon...? It's been a while since I eat seafood or fish...

Diavolo: Well, what are we waiting for! Let's dig in^^

Meanwhile, Haruka and the angels are in a seafood restaurant, they already choose their drinks and currently waiting for their food. Haruka gets sweet ice tea, Luke has water, Simeon unusually gets carrot juice confusing everyone while the married couple gets tea, Michael gets the warm one though while Rosaria gets green tea. As they wait for the food, Haruka suddenly gets a telepathic message from Ichigo and Solomon.

Solomon: EMERGENCY EMERGENCY!!

Haruka: W H A T?!

Solomon: ....Beel is being unusually possessive and it scares the sht out of me.

Ichigo: I'm sure it'll pass....right...

Solomon: HE HAS BEEN GLARING AT ME FOR 3 MINUTES STRAIGHT!!

Haruka: Oh I don't know, stare at Asmo?? Stare at your food???

Solomon: IDEK WHY?!?!?!

Ichigo: Is it because of that 3am thing-

Solomon: Did he know?

Ichigo: Perhaps...

Solomon: ...sht- BYE I'M DYING TODAY!

Haruka: This is why....never touched someone taken.

Ichigo: Indeed. Oh well, back to eating. Bye folks.

In real life, Rosaria is concerned because Haruka has been frozen for 5 minutes so she decides to help.

Rosaria: Haruka? My dear? Are you okay?

Haruka: Y-yeah! I'm okay! Oooh, the food's here!

Michael: It has been here minutes ago, seeing you blank a bit is a bit concerning.

Simeon internally: ....this is unusual. Why did she blank out? She's always so deep in thought most of the time....what is she thinking about I wonder...

Luke: Simeeooon!! Can you get me that fish?? It's so far from me!

Simeon: Of course Luke^^ [gets the fish for him]

Overall the dinner went well everyone is enjoying themselves until Simeon decides to ask why Haruka keeps on blanking out.

Haruka: Me? Blanking out?

Simeon: Yes, you sometimes blank out for no reason. Are you okay?

Haruka: W-well... I was just thinking of food. No harm done^^

Simeon: ....Okay....?

The question keeps on coming, even in the hotel room.

Simeon: Haruka, can you please be honest with me. What's bothering you? Did something happen during the battle? What's happening?

Haruka: I'm fine... I'm just thinking of food like I said.

Simeon:...Is it about him?

Haruka: What?! No! Definitely not!

Simeon: Then what is it?

Haruka: I... need the bathroom! Hold that thought! [runs into the bathroom]

As soon as she's there, she contacts Solomon and Ichigo. Solomon can't answer because he's probably unconscious. So Ichigo is the only one available.

Ichigo: Sup!

Haruka: Simeon keeps on asking about me blanking out! What should I do? It keeps on coming! Should I just tell him?

Ichigo: Why are you even hiding it in the first place?

Haruka: Well... I don't want it to be awkward...

Ichigo: Well...just tell him honestly....? There's no harm in him knowing.

Haruka: What if he asks even further?

Ichigo: Then explain?? I don't know??

Haruka: Oh well... guess I'll just tell him honestly.

Outside, Simeon is waiting for her. That girl really did take her time in that toilet, until he hears a flush. Finally, Haruka came out of the bathroom.

Haruka: Uh.... so... uh... you need to sit down. This is gonna take a while.

Simeon: ?? You can just explain to me straight away....?

Haruka: Just- Just do as I say!

Simeon: Okay- [sits down on a sofa]

Haruka finally explains her situation and luckily Simeon understands.

Simeon: Then why don't you tell me from the start?

Haruka: I don't know... because I don't want it to be awkward. I'm scared you're gonna be mad at me for having such powers!

Simeon: Haruka, I'm literally an angel and you're a princess. We just went on a huge battle. I don't think such powers fazes me anymore.

Haruka: Good point...

Simeon: For now, let's get you cleaned! I'll set you a warm bath with a peach bath bomb. I'm sure you'll like it^^

Haruka: Just me right?

Simeon: You want me to join?

Haruka: I mean if you want to...

Simeon: Depends, if the bathtub fits, I don't see why not^^

Haruka: Deal! We'll have that! I want you to relax as well. That battle must've stressed you out :((

Simeon: It didn't stress me out perse... but it does make me worry about you.

Haruka: Well let's go! Let's get into it!

And so, this newly engaged couple ends up in a bubble bath with a peach scent. Luke who's alone in his room turned bored and walks around, leading him to Haruka's room. Once he got there he smells a peach scent, which leads him to the bathroom. He tries to open the door but it's locked.

Simeon: ....

Haruka: ....

Luke: Haruka?!

Haruka: Y-Yeah?!

Luke: Ooh! Are you having a bubble bath? It smells so good!

Haruka: I am! Why?

Luke: Oooh, have you seen Simeon?

Haruka: Oh he's with Michael. They need to talk.

Luke: I see...Okay then! [walks back to his room]

Haruka and Simeon sighs in relief. Because that was really scary and it'd be embarrassing and chaotic if they get caught chilling in the same bathtub.

Simeon: That was close...

Haruka: Indeed. Oh well, let's just finish this off and we'll sleep it off.

Simeon: You're starting to get drowsy...

Haruka: Perhaps I am, this warm bath does relax me

Simeon: We obviously can't sleep here. Do you want me to carry you back?

Haruka: I guess...but let's just clean ourselves first then you can do what you want.

Simeon: What I want?

Haruka: Yeah...

Simeon: Are you certain?

Haruka: Wait, what did you- Oh my goodness! Simeon! We just got engaged! Since when are you this dirty-minded?!

Simeon: What? I was only thinking of cuddling you to sleep... Haruka... are you okay??

Haruka: Then who's gonna take care of Luke?

Simeon: Good point...

Haruka: Now out! I'm cleaning myself!

Simeon: Alright, alright-

Wow, that's a chaotic ride for these two. Who knew an angel would have such a dirty mind. Well, there's someone worse apparently. Now we're back to square one with Beel, Ichigo, and Belphie arguing about the room.

Belphie: I'm fine sleeping anywhere ffs-

Ichigo: Can I just sleep in my own room? ;-;

Beel: But I wanna be with you.... at least for tonight...

Belphie: Fine! Get her out of here! I'm sleeping in this room! Out! O U T!

Ichigo: What?! But Belp- [gets carried away by Beel again, help] Honey, are you sure this is a good idea??

Beel: I am.

Ichigo: Alright then.... guess I'll just sleep with you for tonight.

Beel: Yay! Let's go then. I promise I won't do anything to you.

Ichigo: I trust you^^ We'll just sleep but once you're hungry we'll go get snacks okay?

Beel: Okay!

Yeah, maybe not as nasty as he is before but hey at least these two get to cuddle. Hours later, a certain avatar of wrath is awake and it's currently 3 a.m. he can't seem to sleep in any way despite the fluffy pillows, how comfortable his bed is, even the cat plushies are not helping him.

Satan: I need some fresh air...

Yes, Satan indeed leaves his room to walk around and get some fresh air, at the same time, Beel and Ichigo are both out to get some midnight snack.

Ichigo: Satan?

Satan: ....? Ichigo?? Beel??

Beel: Yeah... it's us. Why are you here?

Satan: I need some fresh air...

Ichigo: Well... we're going to McDonald's, wanna come with us?

Satan: I guess I'll go...

Ichigo: Alright then, let's go!!

With that, all three of them go to McDonald's. Beel of course orders his food, Satan and Ichigo just settle with drinks and some good ol fries. As they were eating, Satan is somehow getting better.

Beel: You probably can't sleep because you're hungry.

Satan: That'd make sense.

Ichigo: Yeah, that's probably why.

Beel: Hey, do you want some?

Ichigo: Hm? Oh, burger! Sure^^ [bites the burger]

Satan: You two need to tone down with the PDA. It starts to get concerning.

Beel: What's so bad about it?

Satan: It makes everyone feel single...

Beel: Ah.... oh well [shrugs]

After they finished, they went home but as soon as they went home, they see Lucifer at the center of the balcony staring at them.

Lucifer: Good morning, it seems to me that you guys went on a trip^^

Beel: ... I was hungry.... and I decide to get McDonald's...

Lucifer: Doesn't explain why he's coming along.

Satan: I went with them as well...

Lucifer: Are you sure?

Ichigo: He is! He went with us! He can't sleep so he came with us to McDonald's!

Lucifer: I see, alright then. Since we're in the human world, you're lucky that I can't punish any of you. Do get some rest. Except for Satan, I might need to talk with this son of mine.

Satan: ?? That doesn't even make sense!

Lucifer: Come on^^ Let's go~

Satan: ugh... [follows Lucifer]

[shuwuwua]

farmboy!joshua

in which your first time in the rural countryside–crap internet, 20 minute drives to the nearest grocery store, random deer in the roads, and all–is not bad. not bad at all. (aka joshua and animals and being very soft) [fluff]

word count: 3k

disclaimer: not all rural areas are the same. you can get high speed internet. (just not in my personal experience lmao)

you were born, raised, and spent most of your livelihood in the same city

a proper skyscraper sort of city, not a “it’s bigger than a town so i guess we have to call it a city but the tallest building here is still only 4 stories high” city

your family wasn’t really one for vacations but this summer your parents decided to switch it up and spend a few weeks with your relatives who live in the countryside

and although you’ve been skeptical as to what’s possibly worth spending that long in the boonies, you figure it’s been a while since you saw those relatives and don’t say much against it

you’ve tried unsuccessfully for the past few days to avoid nature by browsing YouTube, but it’s proving difficult with your relatives’ lack of surfable internet

they finally suggest you go to the petting zoo

and you snort a little at first bc it’s not your ideal pastime but you suppose that’s what you gotta work with now in the boonies

so you drive to the nearby petting zoo. you exit your car.

and your hit with the Smell™ (of dried grass and poop, to clarify)

and you’re like. oh yeah. i’m definitely in the countryside.

you proceed.

as you walk up the path to the main buildings, you see some of the larger animals around you. horses. cows. the pigs are outside feeding at this hour. you’re kind of in awe because you’ve never seen a Live Cow and,,, they’re kinda cool how they’re so chill and they look sorta Smooth like they’d be really pettable and you wonder if you’d be able to milk one or smthn

but you’re getting a little ahead of yourself.

you open the barn door. and are immediately hit with more Smell™

you wonder if it’ll attach to your clothes. you figure you will deal with it later.

there is something else to deal with at the moment.

“wait, no–lucky! come back!” someone yelps as they rush around in front of you, chasing what seems to be a ball of fur that moves at the speed of light

or a puppy. same thing, really. 

that someone takes a giant leap of faith, only to just barely miss the pup and end up face first on the floor, which you can’t imagine being the most sanitary of surfaces

you look away in search of the flurry of fur. you can’t see it, but you can definitely hear it. unfortunately, it doesn’t sound like it has a collar, so you prepare yourself to scoop it up completely rather than grabbing its collar. as expected, it runs into your direction and you launch at it...

success!

lucky squirms in your grasp, barking and sniffing at your shirt. they must decide that you’re an agreeable human, because they start trying to lick your face

“wow, you caught him!” you look up at seemingly the body from earlier

and like,, not to exaggerate but is this what looking at an angel is like?

the boy you’re looking at looks back with such bright eyes and with a gaze full of affection, although after a second you realize the affection is probably for the dog. he has the best smile you’ve seen in a good while, because people you pass by in the city don’t smile that much. he just radiates Warm and Good and is probably great for business, because he’s just as cute as the puppy who is still going at your chin

“i… yeah, guess i did. uh, you kind of have straw all over you” is what you settle on saying to him, because out of all the things you noticed about him, your brain decides that the straw and dirt still sticking to his cheek and various parts of his shirt were the most acceptable features to point out. while they weren’t the more flattering options, they probably saved you from the complete AWKWARDNESS that would have come from mentioning his eyes or beaming smile or really anything else bc the straw and dirt were the only flaws.

“oh!” he exclaims, straightening up and brushing off his shirt

“… here too,” you say, grasping lucky in one arm as you move your other hand to your cheek

of course, he wipes at the wrong side.

“the other side”

“right. ok. am i good? sorry, that’s not a great first impression.” 

he still has a smear, but you decide it’s probably not going to budge and he’ll figure it out later. and he has no clue what a great first impression it was. clearly. “no, it’s fine.” 

he continues to smile at you and you’re still crouched, clutching lucky. lucky then decides to yelp because he’s tired of the severe lack of attention, which snaps you back to the situation. 

“oh, right.” you stand and give lucky back. 

“here he is!”

once lucky is back in the boy’s arms, he immediately starts to lick at his jaw. the boy sighs and pulls a treat out of the pocket of his apron, waving it around lucky’s face. “what are we going to do with you?” 

he turns back to you. “sorry about that, lucky is a very excited young pupper, as you just saw. the most problematic of all his siblings. anyway, i’m joshua! welcome to nabiya petting zoo. is it your first time here?”

you nod. “er. it’s actually my first time in this area, or in this part of the country, really. i’m from a pretty big city.”

“oh! well, a bigger welcome, then. i hope you enjoy your stay.” 

he rubs lucky between his ears. “isn’t it nice to get away from the busy urban life sometimes? i’ve always thought it’s really relaxing around here.”

“yeah, it seems… nice so far,” you say loosely, reflecting on how you haven’t really seen enough to come to that conclusion

he still has that warm smile. “i’m going to put lucky in his pen. hm… you’re the only one who’s come in so far today, so i could show you around if you want?”

“yeah, sure! i haven’t seen a lot of these before,” you reply, going down the list of animals at the side on the wall.

“ok, i’ll be right back!”

when he comes back y’all walk around n look at things and he asks you if you want to hold or feed some animals and you take everything pretty well, more than even you expect

you look at the normal domestic sort of animals like a litter of kittens, and the pen with lucky and his other pupper brothers and sisters

typical farm animals like pigs and sheep

sheep are not as fluffy as you imagine, they’re actually kind of gross looking if they haven’t had a bath recently

nonetheless you find them kind of cute, and you even pet one of the rams, aptly named… sam the ram

something tells you joshua was responsible for the name

you guys go out to the field and observe some turkeys strutting around

“huh so that’s the thing you see in clipart, the thing hanging off their faces”

“yeah it’s called a snood”

“LOL huH”

“only the dudes have snoods”

“um”

“during mating season, female turkeys pick male turkeys with longer snoods. you could say they’re in the snood for love.”

“please stop”

y’all spend a lot of time with the rabbits bc “bunnies are my favorite animal” says josh as he crouches next to a brown fluffball of a bunny, petting it

it’s just such a Good n Wholesome scene you can’t help but let slip “wow ur so cute”

he looks up, but his expression says he is otherwise unbothered

“sorry, what’d you say?”

“i SA ID the buNNY is sO cuTE” panics

“oh” joshua says. “alright” he turns back to the bunny, a tiny smile on his face

before you know it, 4 hours have passed and your stomach is letting you know dinnertime is approaching, so you bid josh farewell and wonder if you’ll ever see him again because that was a hecking nice 4 hours

you find yourself coming back again two days later lmao

today, joshua is putting out slop for the pigs. he grins at you. 

“hey again. what brings you back so soon?”

you find some excuse like “ykno i just bonded with sam the ram so well i had to come back, we’re bros now” and josh just laughs softly at you

“ok. you wanna look at some horses today?”

“whoa. o-okay.”

when he brings them out ngl you’re kinda intimidated bc like,, they’re some toL bois.

one time you saw a pony at the state fair but that was smol n cute and walked at a pace of 3 miles an hour

but these horses?? threatening. now you understand where the horse in horsepower comes from

“hey, don’t look so scared. they’re harmless!” the black stallion chooses that moment to snort and buck a little. 

you gulp.

“no, really.” he pets the stallion. “snuffles has never hurt anyone.”

you blink

“,,, snuffles ??”

joshua gives you a hard stare. “7 year old me thought that was an appropriate name and today years old me still thinks it’s fine”

you raise your hands to say “ok man ur turf ur way”

joshua clears his throat dramatically and turns back to ,, snuffles. “so aNyway, i brought snuffles out because i think he’s the best for a beginner to ride, and i’m assuming you’ve never ridden a horse before.”

“yeah i haven’t… wait did you say we’re gonna riDE them??”

“yeah, we don’t usually let people do that but i feel like you need the whole farm experience so you can go home and tell your friends the country isn’t just yeehaw and old town”

“but like… isn’t this just proving the point of old town? you literally have the horses in the back.”

“however, my hat is not matte black. i don’t even have a cowboy hat. or Wrangler. or anything else the song mentions. just the horses.”

“ok joshua if it makes u happy i will take snuffles to the old town road”

he gives u a big :D

he instructs you on how to mount the horse and stands behind you in case you start falling but thankfully you don’t so we don’t have to go over any kind of cliche

~ gripping of the waist for balance ~

or

~ catching you in his arms ~

scenes

: ))

“hey, good job! give snuffles some pats or something.” you reach a hand out to stroke the side of snuffles’s face. he whinnies a bit. Well frick, you think, that was kind of cute.

joshua decides he’ll walk some laps around with you before letting you actually ride snuffles by yourself. after you seem to be comfortable, you guys walk/trot around some and that’s how the rest of that afternoon goes :)

picture this with me

the sun is low in the sky

and y’all and your horses are just looking out over the hill

skin lookin immaculate bc it’s the golden hour

a massive grin you don’t even realize you have on your face.

and then you gotta go home, as your stomach reminds you again.

over your stay at your relatives’ place, you visit the petting zoo more times

you and josh become pretty comfortable with each other

he always has a lot of time to spend with you bc people don’t come that much this early in the summer, and in general they don’t get a huge amount of traffic but that’s okay financially bc the petting zoo is just a side thing, it’s mainly his family’s farm

and so you learn more things about him and his family from your times together, you guys sometimes sit around with some lemonade and hold some bunnies. lucky has also taken a liking to you, so you hold him a lot.

joshua tells you about his parents having always wanted to live peaceful and healthy lives, eating their own produce, moved to the area before he was born and it just expanded into the farm.

so although no one lives on the farm, they live pretty close by and he spent most of his childhood around all the animals.

you wonder if he was born with the soft, patient, and gentle nature needed to care for all the animals or if the animals shaped him to be that way.

but on top of that, he really loves spending time with them. even though he’s there basically every day, he never seems tired of his job.

“but what about you though? i’ve never really been that far from here, so i wonder what a big city is like.”

you trade your chaotic urban stories for his peaceful rural ones, and he trades his farm accident horrors for your memories of solidarity in the city.

you tell him about all the great food, countless different flavors of restaurants and a bubble tea chain every few blocks

you tell him about the convenience, the variety of transportation and the proximity of things, like basic groceries

the crowded sidewalks, the crowded metro, the crowded shops

the neon signs that light up the night, the period of quiet and calm somewhere around 3 in the morning, when you can open the window and hear the city nightlife in its most muted yet most raw state.

not only has time in the countryside made you appreciate it more, but also your home life more.

while you’re still wrapped in your memories, joshua smiles softly at you from the side. lemonade long forgotten, ice long melted. “that sounds really nice. your stories make me want to visit you in your hometown some time.”

huh. he could’ve just said visit the city, but he said visit you in your hometown. joshua has such a way with making the conversation personal.

you process what he said again and think about what it’d be like if he came. you could take him to all those places you raved about… it’d be like…

,,, a bunch of dates really. your brain frazzles a bit at the thought.

“… yeah! … that’d be pretty cool.”

and that’s how your afternoons pass these days. lemonade at the side, bunnies in hand, breeze passing through hair.

eventually josh asks you if you want to hang out like… nOT at the petting zoo

and you’re like whoa ok what’s your idea

and he’s like “can you meet me at watchtower hill tomorrow at 8pm?” 

he thinks about what he just said and quickly follows with “i know that’s kind of a really late time, but i promise i have no nefarious intent! oh, shoot that makes it seem like i do. i really don’t i promise! i just wanted to show you what the sunset and night sky are like in the countryside. oh, i just spoiled it…” he flashes you an awkward smile and some finger guns. “yep, that’s what we’re doing! no nefarious activities.”

you grin at him. “calm down dude, i didn’t think like that in the first place. i’m usually out even later at home anyway.”

he rubs the back of his head and laughs it off with you.

you do meet the next day at 8pm. he brings some midnight snacks that his mom made. except they’re not really midnight snacks, because you’re not trying to stay out there until midnight (spoiler: you do, because y’all yak a lot)

you guys sit on your jackets, watching the sunset. it’s the kind of temperature that’s says it was mad hot during the day, but now that the sun is going down, it’s cooled into a pleasant room temperature with an occasional warm breeze. 

for once you all don’t say much, because it’s nice to just share the moment. 

you reflect on how you’ve come to experience the area recently. most of it was the petting zoo, but sometimes you’d take up some of joshua’s suggestions about the area and report back to him how the experience was later on. 

looking out at the sun that bleeds out into the blueish black night, you think that it’s been a pretty good time here, and maybe it does have an edge on city life.

as the last of warm colors finally seep out of the sky, the moon takes over the night and the stars become more apparent than you’ve ever seen before.

seriously, it’s a scene out of a movie. you know, the wide screen shot of the protagonists staring at the sky, mystified. the panorama over the constellations that twinkle down at you, a little gift from the galaxy.

“i’ve never seen the sky like this. all the twinkling lights in the city come from the streets, and the buildings. which are pretty in their own way, i think. but Mother Nature… is really something else,” you say.

“yeah,” he says, looking at you as you’re still in awe at the sky. “something else.”

a few more moments pass, but it’s a timeless night as the sky is frozen in space.

joshua lays back on his jacket.

“hey,, maybe this is sort of crazy but.”

you turn to him, raising a brow.

“it’s been really, uh.. it’s been. really awesome getting to know you. i’ve just kind of… seen the same sorts of things all my life. the same sorts of people. i mean! of course, everyone is unique in their own way but! you know.” he takes a glance at you. “rural folks, urban folks. there’s a difference. so I’ve really enjoyed talking with you. uh, i mean i enjoy talking to you regardless of if you’re from the city or not!”

he puts a palm to his face and sighs. from behind his hand, he says, “i just like you.”

“i like you too, joshua! you’re a really great guy.”

“no, not like that. i mean. i like you.” he finally removes his hand.

you blink a little. and finally burst into a grin. “yeah. i like you too. you’re a really great guy.”

it’s his turn to blink

you lie back as well. he slowly starts to smile next to you

the stars above shine on.

yeah. this is a life you could get used to, too.

a/n: i stole the snood puns from a website i was reading sry website. hope you guys enjoyed and i had a lot of fun writing joshua this way (he’s all squishy, not exactly canon i would say lol)

Two Of Us

Jonathan Byers x Reader

Request: Hey, please could I request a Jonathan Byers x reader imagine where Jonathan and y/n know each other from photography and y/n babysits all of the boys a lot and she's always really kind to Will and all of the other boys and Jonathan's literally been in love with her for years and Joyce can tell by the way he lights up whenever he sees her, but he doesn't know that she loves him back. Will keeps encouraging him to tell her, and one day in the dark room they both confess and kiss? Is this okay?💙

masterlist

Word Count: 4,700 ish

Warnings: shitty writing lmao

A/N: i love this request, it’s absolutely adorable and I’ve been looking forward to writing it! I’m sorry it took so long and that it kinda sucks. I got a little bit of writers block writing this so it’s a mess!

Please don’t steal, plagiarize or repost my writing. I work really hard on my writing as I imagine all writers do and it would suck to find out someone else is trying to claim it as theirs.

ー

*Click!*

“Jonathan!” You groan and cover your face embarrassingly.

Joyce had invited you over to babysit the boys for a little while as she went out on date night with Bob, she said something about Jonathan being busy that night so he couldn’t. Jonathan wasn’t suppose to be home until around 9pm but he got home early and you’d already ordered a pizza and rented a few movies for you and the boys to watch that Friday night so you weren’t going home now. You were staying until you got your money’s worth of rented VHS tapes and overly priced pizzas worth. Plus you didn’t mind hanging out with Jonathan for a few.

You’d had a crush on the older Byer’s boy for quite some time now but you never acted upon it. You had that small fear in the back of your mind that he didn’t like you back and it was more than enough to keep you from doing anything about it. You couldn’t risk making things awkward or uncomfortable considering you babysat the boys often, saw Jonathan in school constantly, and bumped into him in the dark room a lot since you were both interested in photography. Plus you were friends, good friends in your opinion. Risking losing him just didn’t seem worth it.

Jonathan was currently taking a few photos testing out the new camera Nancy and Steve had gotten him to replace the one Steve smashed what felt like forever ago, unfortunately due to the fact you were the only one slightly willing to let him try it out Jonathan was testing it on you. He was having fun and despite you covering your face and telling him to stop you were too.

“Last one, I promise, just sit still.” Jonathan pleaded with puppy dog eyes and you decide to just let him take one more.

Your cheeks were red from the amount of blushing you’d done since you weren’t used to having your picture taken, if anything you were usually the one behind the camera, not in front, and honestly, you liked it that way. Your hair was a mess since you hadn’t really done much with it today, only expecting to babysit not become Jonathan’s one time model and you were pretty sure you looked a mess. The lighting in the living room was dim but Jonathan thought it illuminated your face perfectly. He loved the way the dim yellow light was hitting your features.

“There, I’m done.” He finally says making you look up from the few text books you had sprawled out across the couch to make sure.

You were working on some homework while Jonathan was taking pictures since the pizza wasn’t here yet, the boys were busy finishing up their game of dungeons and dragons, and you were hoping Jonathan would help you out a little with some of it, you’d probably need it once you hit algebra. You weren’t the best in school.

Fortunately enough for you Jonathan was a straight A student, impressive was a understatement for what you thought about his academics but he always brushed it off. He was definitely humble.

“Y/N!” You hear Will’s voice come from the kitchen distracting you from your thoughts about Jonathan before his small body appeared in the doorway to the living room.

You and Jonathan both turned towards him as you gave him a small smile. Will was a sweetheart, you’d known him since forever and you really tried not to pick favorites between all of the boys but if you had to Will would probably be your favorite. He was always kind and polite, just like his brother. The two of them were definitely the children you imagined every mom wanted. Joyce raised them right.

He began to walk towards the two of you before he was eventually standing by the side of the couch. His face held a small smile and he looked like he was in a good mood, he always looked like that around his friends though. You could tell that the type of friendship they all shared was something special and rare. You were happy that he had such a good group of friends.

“Do you want to watch the movies now?” He questions with a hopeful look on his face.

You glance towards Jonathan and then back at the books surrounding you, you still had quiet a bit of homework left but you knew Will had been excited to watch the movies you’d rented since you’d let him and the other boys pick some out. You even let them pick out one rated R movie, of course you told them not to tell their parents and that it was your guys secret. They all agreed and had been pretty enthusiastic about watching it tonight with you.

They’d picked out “The Shining” and although you hated horror films you’d decided to let them have their fun, besides, thankfully you had Jonathan now and although he didn’t seem like he could protect you and all the boys from a monster from some horror movie it made you feel better that you weren’t gonna have to watch it with them home alone. He definitely could protect you all from a random monster out of a horror movie though, not that you’d know that.

“Uh, sure, just let me put some of my stuff away so you can sit down.” You say beginning to grab your heavy textbooks.

You began pushing them into your beige backpack neatly trying to hurry so Will wouldn’t have to wait long but he ran off to get the other boys anyways so he’d probably be a few seconds. You were almost halfway done when Jonathan’s hand brushes yours handing you a small book you were reading for your English class. He had a faint smile on your face and it made your heart skip a beat. You anxiously grab the book from him and set it on top of everything in your bag before zipping the material shut.

Jonathan Byers never failed to make your heart race.

Will reentered the room with Mike, Dustin, and Lucas following close behind. They all had big smiles on their faces and although Dustin had his new front teeth for awhile you still weren’t used to the pearly whites in his smile. He looked cute with them, the type of cute you’d call a baby since technically he was a baby to you. You were quite a few years apart in age.

“Here, I’ll go get a extra chair-“ Jonathan was trying to suggest so that there would be more room for everyone on the couch but Will quickly interrupted him.

“No, we can all fit on the couch.” Will shrugs but you can tell he’s looking at Mike out of the corner of his eye to back him up.

Mike glances between you and Jonathan before nodding and moving towards the couch placing himself on the far end of it. He relaxes into the worn out couch cushions and tries to take up as much room as he can before Dustin does the same. Lucas takes the chair beside the couch though and Will shoots him a smile.

“Yeah, we can all fit.” Mike says and you can’t help but feel like they know something you don’t.

You brush it off though as Will places himself next to you. It’s a pretty tight squeeze with all of you on the couch but you don’t bring it up. Your arm was brushing against Jonathan’s and your legs were touching and you couldn’t help but notice that you were the only ones squished together, Mike and Will were taking up most of the couch by their awkward positions they were sitting in and Dustin was sitting quite comfortably in the middle of them.

Jonathan was glancing at you out of the corner of his eye and his cheeks were tinted a light pink due to the closeness of the two of you and the fact your skin was pressed against his. He knew what Will and the boys were doing, they were purposely trying to get you and Jonathan together since practically everyone knew how in love with you he’d been these past years, except you of course. You were oblivious.

Jonathan definitely thought it was smooth  move and it almost made him laugh at the boys attempt to bring you two together but he didn’t. He kept his laughter to himself and hoped that you wouldn’t notice what they were doing. Thankfully you didn’t, or at least he didn’t think you didn’t.

Lucas grabbed the plastic bag filled with the movies off the coffee table and grabbed the horror movie first before kneeling down on the floor beginning to set everything up. Lucas was pretty good with this stuff and probably knew more about how to get half this stuff working than you did.

It took him a few minutes of changing a few things on the TV and trying to get the VCR to play the movie before suddenly the dim TV screen came to life. Lucas smiled ear to ear in accomplishment before pushing himself back into the chair next to the couch after pressing play.

You felt Jonathan move his arm that was squished between the two of you trying to stretch it out a little. You tried to shift your position to give him more room but it only made things worse as your body was pressed more against Jonathan than it was before. Your hands were brushing against each other but neither of you had it in you to pull away from the subtle contact. Both of your cheeks were a dark red and your heart was beating out of your chest.

This was awkward.

Jonathan’s heart was racing just as fast as yours but of course you didn’t know that. He could feel the tension in the room as well but he tried his best to pretend everything was normal. That this wasn’t awkward for him. That it was just a movie and that you two were just sitting next to each other, that your every move wasn’t pressing your skin against his unintentionally and that it was driving him crazy.

Despite the closeness of you two you eventually begin to focus on the movie and for the most part it’s not as bad as you’d thought it’d be. You were honestly starting to enjoy it. At least that’s what you thought until twenty minutes in your practically jumped out of your skin at a few of the first jump scares.

“Are you good?” He whispers leaning towards your ear a little.

“I’m not really a fan of horror movies.” You respond earning a nod from Jonathan.

“Me either.” He admits with a soft smile trying to make you feel a little better.

The gesture was sweet and once again it just made your knees weak for him all over again. Thank god you weren’t standing up because you didn’t trust the jelly you called your knees to support you right now.

As the movie goes on your shoulders begin to loosen from their previous tenseness and your head starts to lean towards Jonathan slowly as time passes. Your head was resting on the back of the couch but your cheek was inches away from his shoulder dangerously close to resting there.

This didn’t go unnoticed by Jonathan either, it caused a spike in his heart rate and the nerves in his stomach intensified. He didn’t stop you or point it out though, part of him was hoping you’d rest your head on his shoulder and the other part of him was hoping something would ruin the moment so he could avoid the awkward interaction.

To both his relief and fear though eventually your head falls onto his shoulder after a few more minutes pass by. Your eyes were drooping shut due to your exhaustion and the fact you’d been working on homework and watching the boys all day. Eventually your eyes fully shut but you were still awake. You felt Jonathan shift underneath you moving his shoulder trying to make it more comfortable for you and if you weren’t so tired and out of it you probably would’ve smiled.

God, if he wasn’t the sweetest.

You fell asleep soon after that and it was just Jonathan and the boys for awhile. Time was passing quickly for everyone during your sleep. The pizza had arrived a few minutes ago, which Jonathan made Will get up and pay for so he wouldn’t wake you and the movie was almost over by now. The boys were beginning to get ready to head home since it was starting to get late and Jonathan was pretty sure Joyce was on her way home or at least would be soon.

“You should tell her.” Will says from the other side of the couch making Jonathan turn his head towards the boys.

Jonathan furrowed his eyebrows in confusion even though he knew exactly what Will was talking about. He couldn’t, he didn’t have the guts. He’d thought about telling you so many times but he just couldn’t. He backed out every single time. You didn’t like him back and he knew it and it’d be selfish to ruin your friendship like that when he knew for a fact that you didn’t like him back.

“I can’t.” Jonathan sighs causing his chest to rise with a deep breath.

“You can, and you should. I don’t think you’re the only one head over heels here.” Dustin admits earning a nod from Mike in agreement.

The conversation ended there leaving Jonathan with his messy thoughts. Soon after that the boys all eventually left since the movie was over and their parents were expecting them to be home soon. Will was sitting on the couch next to you and Jonathan in silence trying to think of what to say. He wanted to convince Jonathan to tell you because he knew it’d work out perfectly, the only ones who didn’t know that were the two of you.

“I think she likes you.” Will says towards Jonathan.

The words make the corners of Jonathan’s mouth twitch upwards into a involuntary smile and he glances down at you. Your lips were parted and some of your y/c/h hair was falling in your face. The thin strands were covering your cheeks and even some of your eyes but you remained peacefully asleep regardless. You looked angelic, at least that’s what Jonathan thought.

“I don’t think so.” Jonathan responds as he keeps his gaze fixated on you.

“Maybe you’d know for sure if you told her.” Will commented quietly before pushing himself off the couch into a standing position.

Will stretches his arms and legs trying to get some relief from being crammed into the couch, he was wrong, there wasn’t enough room for all of you on that tiny couch but he felt pretty accomplished seeing you sleeping next to Jonathan so it was worth it in his eyes. He sighs before turning towards Jonathan one last time for the night.

“You’d be surprised what you’re not seeing. Goodnight.” Will mumbles grabbing a purple blanket off the couch he’d gotten halfway through the movie to cover up with.

He threw it over his shoulder and padded across the living room floor quietly towards the doorway. He glances back towards you and Jonathan with a small smile before making his way down the dark hallway trying to find his room in the dark night. He finally reached his door on the right side of the hall and begins getting ready for bed.

Jonathan still didn’t move in fear of waking you up so he just sat there with his thoughts for a little while. Should he tell you? He didn’t think he had the bravery but recently with all the encouragement his mom and Will were giving him he thought he might be able to find it in his gut to say the words. Still, did he really want to? Jonathan was never one for confrontation and he was rather shy, especially when it came to you but with you it was different, he was comfortable yet nervous all at once. He didn’t understand how that could be.

You shift in your sleep causing Jonathan to stop dead in his tracks. You pressed your body into his further and his heart began to race for what felt like the millionth time again tonight. If it kept up he for sure thought his heart would give out by the morning. He wasn’t a heart doctor but he had no doubt about it.

The affect you had on Jonathan was unbelievable.

Jonathan continued thinking about his thoughts and worries until his eyes soon felt droopy too and it was getting harder and harder to keep them open. A few yawns escaped his lips until his head rested on top of yours and he fell into a peaceful sleep as well. The position his neck was in wasn’t the most comfortable but it benefitted you and it kept you comfortable so Jonathan didn’t care about it all too much. The kink in his neck tomorrow morning would be worth it.

The two of you stayed asleep for quite some time until the jiggling of keys coming from outside the front door began to stir Jonathan a little bit. He didn’t wake up though, just shifted and turned in his spot a bit. He was just as exhausted as you were and although he was a light sleeper he couldn’t find it in him to open his eyes to investigate the noise, he didn’t care enough to.

The front door opened slowly revealing Joyce wrapped up in a winter coat carrying a small brown purse on her arm. She didn’t notice the both of you laying on the couch at first until she stepped inside and shut the door behind her as quietly as she possibly could, she assumed from the lack of noise everyone was sleep but she didn’t know for sure until she turned around to see you and her son curled up together on one side of the couch comfortably.

Her heart warmed at the sight and she couldn’t help but feel happy for the both of you. She always thought the two of you would be cute together and you had her full acceptance and approval when it came to just about everything. She adored you. She hoped Jonathan would gather the courage to confess his feelings soon because the way he looked at you in a crowded room or listened to you talk was something that gave away how much he cared for you. Joyce knew he loved you, she just wished you knew sometimes too.

Joyce set her purse down on the table beside the door and took her heavy winter coat off along with the shoes that had been practically killing her all night, it felt good to take them off and finally she felt some relief. She tried to remain as quiet as possible to avoid waking the two of you up and thankfully succeeded.

Soon after that she made her way to the empty chair Lucas was previously sitting in during the movie grabbing the blanket hanging off the back of it. She carefully walks over towards you and Jonathan gently tossing the thin blue material over you both to keep you warm and comfortable throughout the night. This wouldn’t be the first time you accidentally slept over at the Byers.

She shut off all the lights and turned the static filled TV off before making her way out of the living room into her own room to call it a night, but not before giving you and Jonathan a adored glance.

ー

“I thought you’d be here.” Your voice startles Jonathan as he stops what he’s doing immediately and turns towards you.

The dark room wasn’t giving off much light so he could barely see your features in the dim red lighting. The outline of your silhouette was standing by the doorway of the room and you had a few school books in your arms and a green backpack slung on your shoulder loosely. Your hair was pulled up into a ponytail that had began to get messy as the day went on that you didn’t bother to fix. Your soft smile might not have been as noticeable as usual in the dark lighting but it still made Jonathan’s heart skip multiple beats.

You had been searching for Jonathan for a little while to see if he could help you with some of your homework since he always offered to and you were a little lost in a few subjects. You hadn’t had to look very far to find him though since you knew where he’d mostly likely be which was here, in the dark room developing pictures he’d taken. This was like his second home at this point.

You step towards Jonathan and start walking across the picture covered room to see what he’s developing. Jonathan took so many pictures a day you didn’t really have much of an idea of which ones they could be. You assumed they’d be some of his family or maybe even strangers, maybe scenery if you were lucky. You loved his scenery shots. There was nothing else like those photos.

You were surprised to see your face in the Byers living room sprawled across the multiple pictures Jonathan was developing as you stepped closer. Some of them were done but he was still in the middle of developing a few so you knew this wasn’t all of them. There were a few of Will and Joyce in there too but it was mostly pictures of you that Friday night.

Jonathan’s cheeks were a deep red as your eyes were focused on the pictures of yourself. You couldn’t help but notice how good the pictures really were, he had captured all the right angles and lighting, you looked happy in the photos, genuinely happy. Your smile was spread across your cheeks and your eyes were a little crinkled as the heavy textbooks were resting on your lap. Your lips were parted and your hair was falling perfectly and you couldn’t help but stare in awe.

These photos were beautiful.

“Jonathan, not to sound vain but these are wonderful.” You admit only causing his cheeks to redden even more.

“It’s not really the photos as much as the person in them.” He responds as you continue to stare at the photographs.

Jonathan’s words have more meaning behind them than you really think about since you brushed off the compliment. Your eyes were staring at the pictures in awe distracted by the world surrounding you. You always knew Jonathan was talented but wow, the photos were so mesmerizing, the photos of Will and Joyce were captured at perfect moments along with the rest and you just loved them all.

Jonathan stared at you in the exact way you were staring at the photos and he could feel his heartbeat in his ears. His hands were numb from nervousness as he thought about confessing his feelings to you right then and there. Will’s words echoed through his head about you liking him and he had to do this.

It was now or never.

“Y/N?” Jonathan asks causing you to turn your head a little barely breaking your attention from his photographs.

You notice his serious expression and you tilt your head to the side slightly confused. Your mind wondered on if you’d caught him at a bad time or if he just didn’t appreciate the interruption your company brought while he was trying to develop his photos. You hadn’t even noticed the shaky hands or pale look on his face.

He parted his lips to speak but you watched him fumble with his words trying to figure out what he wanted to say. He looked nervous and you could tell by the way he was avoiding eye contact with you that he felt awkward. You knew Jonathan a little too well for him to hide his emotions from you.

“You can tell me anything, you know that right?” You try to reassure him while putting a hand on his arm gently.

You felt nervous at his loss of words and anxious to find out what he had to say. Jonathan was always the shy type but he’d never hesitated so much to say something to you and it wasn’t reassuring. Your mind was conjuring up a bunch of things that could be wrong and absolutely none of them were positives.

Jonathan took a cautious step towards you and you watched with curiosity what he was doing. He visibly swallowed the lump in his throat and stared down at you due to the height difference between the two of you. Jonathan wasn’t incredibly tall but neither were you.

“Jonathan you’re kind of starting to make me ner-“ Your words were cut off in the middle of your sentence by his shaky voice.

“I think I’m in love with you.” He confesses and you feel your heart stop in your chest.

The two of you went silent and the only sound that could be heard throughout the whole room was your guys’ breathing. Your heart was beating about a million miles a minute and you couldn’t stop it or slow it down. Your mind was trying to comprehend what Jonathan just told you but it wasn’t sinking in. You almost thought you didn’t hear him correctly. That was until he spoke up once again.

“I shouldn’t have done that I’m sorry.” He tries to take his words back but it’s too late.

Jonathan loved you? Jonathan loved you. Jonathan was in love with you.

The thoughts kept echoing through your head and your mind was a mess inside your head. You soon realized you hadn’t responded by the way Jonathan’s eyebrows were furrowed in concern and his face was full of fear. You lazily set your books on one of the empty tables beside the two of you without breaking eye contact. You let your heavy backpack slip off your shoulder loosely and it hit the floor with a small thud.

You move your now free hands to Jonathan’s cheeks and press yourself onto your tip toes to reach Jonathan’s height. Your face was extremely close to his and you could feel his shaky breathes hitting your lips. It made you smile a little since you knew you weren’t the only one nervous here before you let your eyes flutter shut.

You lean forward and press your lips against his and his arms immediately wrap themselves around your waist. It was like instinct, everything felt right. It felt like this was how it was suppose to be. You were certain from this moment on that you and Jonathan were always gonna be more than friends, you couldn’t go back now.

His lips tasted like vanilla chapstick and mint which is exactly what you always imagined. His hands were gripping your waist loosely as the two of you moved in sync with each other. He was slow and careful, like he was afraid he was going to make the wrong move or like you were made of glass.

Jonathan tried to pull you closer to him after a few seconds but there wasn’t any space left between the two of you. The kiss was everything you’d imagined, it was like every day dream you’d ever had about it. It was perfect, the butterflies filling your stomach proved that.

Unfortunately after some time you had to pull away to catch your breath. You both parted from each other before Jonathan rested his forehead against yours. He brought one of his hands up to your cheek brushing some of the stray strands of hair behind your ear innocently.

His smile was bright and full of relief, just like yours. Your expressions were mirroring each other and you’d never felt so at peace before.

“I guess that makes two of us.” You reply to his previous words only to earn a chuckle from him in response.

Finally.
