#And he says to his bro “That's my dream girl. Go dance with her.” AND HIS FRIEND DOES

[bisexual-horror-fan]

Oh my god Bex my life has come full circle and I need to tell you about it, because I have you to thank for this amazing discovery.

SO. I love all the Buddy Swanson fics I see floating around and especially the gifs but I could never shake the feeling that he looked familiar. Whatever, I don't want to look anything up because what if I accidentally get spoiled before I watch the movie. Well, I was having a little scroll and saw a Buddy gif you reblogged and my little neurodivergent brain decided now is the time to finally get motivated to watch Stage Fright and not do anything else before I do that.

Now. I'm watching the movie right. I think holy shit he really looks familiar I want to look it up so bad but I probably shouldn't. I try and shake the feeling. I fucking can't. I look it up. What do I find out? Douglas Smith didn't just play Buddy Swanson in Stage Fright, he also played Tyson, the cyclops, in the (horrible horrible horrible) second Percy Jackson movie, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters.

There were two things I liked about the second movie - The "Don't walk on my roof" line and Tyson. I had such a big crush on him. Now I'm watching him in Stage Fright and can't control my giggles. I'm twirling my hair, kicking my feet, blushing like a nun in a sex shop and holding my hand infront of my face every two seconds because I'm just so in love.

Bex. Thank you for finally getting my brain to watch this movie. I feel fullfilled.

- 🦇

Oooooh Batty! This is huge! I never got into those movies but found out he played that character when I was in the Douglas Smith tag a while back! I am so fucking glad you are watching this movie and loving it and him! Fr Buddy Swanson is one of my fave characters and made it so I will watch just about anything that has Douglas Smith in it! He is also like the main dude in The Bye Bye Man, he looks really cute, wears glasses and band shirts and stuff but man even for him, it's a hard watch.

(Also, also, he plays the main love interest's best friend in the 2004 film The Sleepover, stacked cast, he gets shafted cuz he is WAY cuter than the guy we as the audience are supposed to like.)

So glad to see you in my askbox again Batty and hope you enjoy the Buddy fics post Stage Fright, they deff hit different.

⋆˚࿔ espresso ꥟ ˚⋆ — sunny!reader x rafe

“ walked in and dream-came-trued for ya! “

i believe the saying goes, “she was like a shot of espresso.” rafe didn’t think that saying could fit a person more than it could fit you.

he’d see you at parties, dancing with his sister or giggling with the pogues. you never could seem to pick a side. this whole pogue vs kook rivalry never crossed your mind, for you were simply friends with everyone in kildare. he’d see you at the beach with your friends, tanning while listening to silly pop music and sipping on a fruity canned drink. you reminded him of the sun.

there was one night where sarah cameron invited you to her place for a start-of-summer party. rafe was dealing some coke, as per usual, and his eyes followed you as you walked in, holding hands with sarah while she led you inside. he’d never understood why girls held hands with each other, but wheezie said that it’s a universal girl thing, and he ‘would never get it.’

topper elbowed rafe out of his trance, laughing about how rafe had a little crush.

“nah, nah,” rafe denied instantly. “isn’t she a pogue?”

topper shakes his head. “nope. she just hangs out with them. her parents own that flashy smoothie shop, she’s a kook,”

“…oh, that’s good,” rafe mutters. he can’t quite avert his gaze from you.

“aw man, you’re desperate,” kelce is on his other side, patting his back, making rafe grunt and shoo him off. rafe can’t relate to desperation.

his night goes on per usual, getting bundles of cash handed to him as he deals. until topper speaks up after a bit. “she just broke up with pope,” he informs rafe. “she’s on the market,”

“yeah?” rafe checks.

“yeah. you should go talk to her,”

rafe hesitates, staring at you again. you’re not a dancer by any means, but both you and sarah are wiggling your shoulders a bit when a good song comes up. rafe would assume you’re drunk, the way your giggles echo through the room and the way you spill your drink when you stumble into sarah. but he thinks that’s just you, drunk on life. he eventually speaks. “no fucking way, she’s with my sister right now. sarah would lose her shit if i talked to little miss sunshine over there,”

“yeah, well, need i remind you i’m dating sarah, so i’ll just get her away, go make out for a bit, she looks drunk,” topper offers.

“…a’ight. yeah, lets do it bro.” rafe agrees, and they both get up off the couch. rafe stands a little bit away as he grabs another vodka pink lemonade for you, maybe a subtle bribe into talking, and a beer for himself. topper talks to sarah for a bit, greets you, then leads sarah away.

rafe’s literally directly behind you, when suddenly you’re already talking to someone else. you’re pretty chatty, it seems. rafe hangs around to catch you after your next conversation. but then he looks away for one second, then you’re gone again. he spots you on the balcony, with jj maybank. then a couple minutes later, you’re with kie carrera. then you’re shotgunning a drink with sofia. holy shit. you’ve got him wrapped around your finger already, and he looks so cute chasing after you. if he’s not pushy, he’ll never get his chance. so, channeling his inner ward cameron, he spots you with ruthie (who he never would’ve assumed you would associate with. maybe you’re just being polite), and he puts a hand on your shoulder from behind, spinning you around. “y/n. right?”

you blink, not expecting the sudden interruption. but you regain yourself quickly, smiling. “hi! yeah, i am,” you say. your voice sounds as sweet as honey. “you’re rafe cameron?”

you know who he is? he shouldn’t be surprised, you seem to know everyone, but he likes that you know, anyway. “uh, yeah, yeah, that’s me,”

“well it’s so nice to meet you,” you smile up at him. “it’s funny, sofia used to mention you a lot, and obviously im close friends with your sister. but i’ve never met you before,”

“..you’re friends with sofia?” is all he can think to ask.

“mhm. i’ve known her since grade 5. we’re not like, super close now, but we were when you guys dated,” sensing his sudden aversion to talking about her, his ex girlfriend, you shut up. “um, wanna go grab a drink?”

“oh— shit, yeah, um, brought one for you, actually,” he hands you the vodka pink lemonade. “saw you drinking one earlier, so..”

“oh my gosh, thank you so much,” you say. is he that sweet? you guess so.

“yeah, ‘course. heard sarah talk about you, and it’s all been good things, so i figured i’d try and meet you myself,”

“well now you have. i’ve heard her talk about you too,” you don’t have the heart to say it hasn’t been very good things.

it feels like this awkward small talk is going in circles. but maybe that’s a good, slow way to start something.

your name is suddenly called by a group of girls a couple meters away. “it was so nice to meet you rafe. i should go, they want me,” you say softly, reaching for his hands. he remembers when you came in holding sarah’s hands. it seems to be your thing. “i’ll see you around?”

“yeah—“ he clears his throat, gaining the courage to hold yours back. “yeah. see you around, y/n,”

you smile. you could swear he’s blushing. “you’re cute,” you say softly, squeezing his hands once more before retreating away.

he feels like he just took a shot of espresso, and now he’ll be thinking of you every night.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

1980, the year where all dreams went to hell, where I had realized that chasing ghosts would be useless, how could I go on if my own father had denied my existence?, I had worked too hard to get his number, I had spent sleepless nights thinking about what to say when I called him and he sent me to hell with his contempt, this was fucking hell bro.

Hi, have you been here for a while, would you like to order something? - What the hell is with that voice? Normally Dottie was the one who served me daily at the same table where I always sat and it was not at all what I was used to, my jaw tensed a little more while my eyes traveled quickly to the figure that was standing next to me - Hi, would you like a coffee? - her smile made me take a breath after all the time I was waiting for my lungs to collapse

Yeah, why not - I nodded a little while my eyes returned to the crumpled paper in my hands with the number of the bastard who had brought me into this world

Fine, I'll go get a cup - her smile could be heard on her voice as she walked away giving little jumps that made me look at her again curious, who was she? I had been coming here daily for weeks and I had never noticed her presence and that was impossible, she was so pretty, her dark hair so well combed and her skin clean as porcelain, I was used to seeing girls with tons of hairspray and makeup in industrial quantities that it was almost impossible to recognize them once they took it off, but she looked different, so unique and pretty that made me forget the moment that was happening, it was so stupidly obvious that when I noticed her return my eyes quickly returned to their original position trying not to look like an idiot - would you like something else? - She placed the cup so delicately on the table and while she was pouring the coffee I could feel her gaze on me that I just quickly shook my head hiding my face in the brown strands of my hair - okay, if you need anything you can call me, my name is y/n

I could notice her silhouette dancing around me, not specifically that, but she went from one table to another serving and taking orders, always with a kind tone in her voice and a smile, I could notice how the drunken bastards that recently leave Whisky A Go Go watch her passing by making obscene comments about her body and the disgusting things they could do to her in her bed, I don't know why I took it so personally, I didn't even know her and I had my own problems.

You still haven't finished your coffee - her voice made me raise my head again, finally looking into her eyes, those beautiful eyes that I had never seen before - we're almost done - her gaze went to the clock on the wall making me notice that it was almost 11 pm

Oh… I'm sorry, time flew by - I sighed sadly taking the cup drinking the last sip feeling the bitter cold taste run down my throat

Don't worry, are you okay? - her hands moved in the pockets of her pink apron looking at me curiously, what did she care if a drunk was okay? Nobody ever cared if I was okay or not

I… can I ask you something? - I looked at her curiously wetting my lips watching her nod - What would you do if someone rejected you?

Well… that depends - she looked at me curiously smiling - reject in what sense?

Something like… - my hands rested on the table thinking about how to say things without looking like a helpless child but I couldn't find anything else that could justify what had just happened to me - as if your own father had rejected you and asked you not to appear in his life again?

Oh..-her chubby cheeks disappeared when she erased her smile- well I..-a sigh came out of her chest as she sat in front of me- well I don't have a dad so I couldn't tell you…but if that happened to you, I think you shouldn't feel any guilt about his decisions, it's him who failed you not you

-I see..-I sighed looking at the table biting my lip curiously not knowing what to say while my hands crumpled the paper I held all night

Not all people are born to have a great responsibility like raising a child and they also don't have the courage to take responsibility for their mistakes made on them so they blame someone else to feel less guilty, I don't know what happened but I think you should show him that what he expects to happen won't happen, you should show him that you can be a better person than him and you don't need his presence to be a great human being- her smile returned to her face making me feel a rush of air again, she was right, she have all the damn reason, I didn't need a damn bastard to know what my dreams were and of course I could be better than he was without his support

Shortly after the head waitress kicked me out of the place without being able to thank her for her great advice so I went to my car staying in it looking at the steering wheel for a couple of minutes, was this the time to start my big dream? Of course I would be a great rock star and I would show everyone that they can go to hell.

I started the engine and accelerated quickly taking the main avenue and then turning into an almost lonely street towards my apartment.

And there she was again, walking quickly with her hands in the pockets of her coat with her gaze on the pavement, I could recognize that hair bouncing after seeing it come and go all night, so I honked the horn making her turn quickly while she jumped scared

You're not walking home at this time of night, right? - I smiled at her, leaning my arm out of the window as I threw the cigarette onto the pavement

It's not that far anyway - she smiled at me, adjusting the strap of his bag over her shoulder

Yeah, well, damn, I don't know how to ask someone up… do you want me to give you a ride? - I was such a fucking idiot, what was wrong with me?

Well…- her gaze returned to the road and then to me nodding nervously as she walked quickly to get in the passenger side- Thanks for the ride… um…

Fran… Nikki my name is Nikki - I smiled at her offering her my hand to shake and when she did I could feel a electricity run to the tips of my hair

Nice to meet you Nikki - she smiled at me putting on her seat belt as i drive with REO Speedwagon playing on the radio

I tend to go to that place a lot lately and I've never seen anyone like you - I looked at her barely returning my gaze to the road as I drove as slowly as possible without looking like an idiot

It's my first day working at that coffee shop - she seemed to be the happiest person in the world, every sentence that came out of her mouth was accompanied by a childish but adorable smile - What do you mean by someone like me?

Someone, I don't know…pretty and pretty…- I cleared my throat feeling like an idiot trying to avoid his gaze

Yeah well, thanks for the compliment it was the nicest thing I heard all night - she laughed looking at her legs while her hands played with the clasp of her bag

So you did hear them? Why were you so nice to all those idiots, if I were you I would have thrown the hot coffee on their damn faces

Because I need the job, I need to pay for nursing school so I can graduate next summer and my mother can't do it anymore

I see, do you live with your mother? - I looked at her interested in her conversation stopping at a red light

Yes, with my mother and my younger sister, well she is my half sister but she is my sister, mom has had difficult months after my stepfather abandoned her so now we only live with one salary and I need to earn something to help her - her gaze did not return to look at me after her confession and her fingers played slower than normal clearly saddened

I understand you, unlike you my mother is shit, she did not abandon me like my father did but she always preferred her boyfriends who abused me, so when I had the chance I sent her to prison and left home - the green light reflected on the car window making me return my gaze to the road and accelerate hard remembering that damn woman

Oh I… I'm sorry about that Nikki

You don't have to feel it, after all you said it, I don't need anyone to prove that I can be better than them - i look at her giving her a smile and she did the same to me

The conversation was too good to end that night and to my surprise the night ended very differently than what usually happens whenever I hitch a ride with a girl, tonight there was no sex or unbridled alcohol until we were unconscious, she just limited herself to thanking me and saying goodbye to enter her home, it felt so strange, as if I had met a real woman, so every day I came back at the same time and to the same table so that she would serve me like every night, little by little she became my best friend, she listened to all the ideas I had and how London came to life, it was my first baby and she was in our first show it was great how everything started to get better until that night went to shit.

Our vocalist, as usual, screwed up on stage and a pitched fight broke out where my nose was the main target of an idiot's beer bottle. An hour later I was entering the cafeteria with a napkin on my still bleeding nose.

Oh my God Nikki, what did they do to you? - she quickly left the coffee jar on the nearest table and ran to me, helping me get to the same table as always.

I'm fine, I'm… shit, I'm fine - I sighed, sitting down, looking at her, tired of so much shit.

You guys fought again, right? - She looked at me disappointed, taking a couple of napkins from the table, carefully removing my hands from my face and gently tapping them on my nose

It's all that damn idiot's fault, he's always do som...ouch - I looked at her annoyed but her look quickly made me lower my tone of voice

I know Nikki but why do you always have to end up fighting, your fans go to see you play, not to see how you hit each other like animals on stage - She continued cleaning carefully until she stopped the bleeding and gave me a new napkin - You should seriously think about what to do because if things continue like this then the only thing that will happen is that all your fans will stop going to see you play because you're problematic

I know… I know - I sighed looking at her holding the napkin on my nose

I'll go get you some ice, don't cause trouble - She looked at me seriously as she walked away and disappeared behind the kitchen door

Damn, she had me trapped in her hand, it was Something so strange to explain as if I belonged to her completely but at the same time we were nothing at all

It was as if she was my good luck charm, when she was near me everything went perfect and just as I had always dreamed but when she left everything went to hell, even the lack of her presence made situations go wrong

How that same night a skinny and hyperactive boy was going to approach me to tell me that he was my biggest fan and support me in creating a band? right after she told me, it was such a strange but necessary coincidence.

Sorry Nikki I got busy a little, here's your ice - I looked at her with a small smile taking the ice from her hand- Sweetness I want you to meet someone, this is Tommy he will play drums in my new band

Nice to meet you - the boy drummer smiled at her moving his drumsticks making her laugh

Nice to meet you Tommy - she smiled at him greeting him the same way - I'll be a little busy but I'll find you in the parking lot when I finish my shift

Sure sweetie I'll wait for you - I smiled at her watching her walk away to serve the other tables placing the ice on my nose

She's very pretty man - the boy followed her with his gaze until I hit his arm making him look at me again - I'm sorry it's just that… she is - he laughed rubbing his arm- is she your girlfriend?

No… but she will be the owner of everything someday so keep your damn hands on your drumsticks got it?

Ok fuck i get it man - the drummer smiled raising his hands holding both drumsticks laughing

She had been there from the beginning and knew for a fact that she would be there until the end but not just as a spectator, she would be the owner of the whole damn empire that i was going to create.

mama a girl behind YOU💜

Matt’s POV

Time hasn’t felt so fast.

I’m in L.A, with my siblings, in our own house.

I never had the time to process anything. Posting was the only thing on my mind– and, well– someone else.

I never thought any of this was going to happen within the span of 4 years, kinda crazy to think about.

I scrolled on my phone mindlessly, I just felt so drained from the past few weeks. I kept on thinking about the dream I had a few days ago, it keeps replaying, again and again in my head.

God, I miss her.

“Baby, wake up.” A soft and light voice whispers into my ear. I look up to see her– my heart drops. Y/N.

I haven’t seen her forever.

A white flowy dress surrounds her, she looked so happy. Her smile reflected onto me like a mirror image. Her eyes glint softly.

The last time I saw her, her eyes were wrongly deep and dark, her smile was not to be seen.

She looked restless.

I left her at her lowest.

“Yes?” I hummed, pulling her close to me, squeezing her sides.

“Don’t forget about me, hm?” She looked directly into my eyes, her eyebrows drawn up in the inner corners. A slight panicked look flashes in her eyes when I don't respond.

Then she slowly drifts away, curling up into a ball. And shutting me out

I jolted awake, drenched in a cold sweat, my heart pounding in my chest like a drum. The pain— it never stops. It’s always there, a dull ache that sharpens with every thought of her. Just a fleeting memory of her, and I’m spiraling again, caught in the undertow of that silent, unforgettable laugh of hers. I can still feel the playful smack of her hand, see the way her eyes would glisten with unshed tears.

The memory of her talking about how much she came to love Autumn. How she loved that the trees had the weight off their branches, just how she felt when she was around me.

She loved how the weather grew colder, which were more excuses to cuddle.

To be closer to me.

I was so blind.

Now I can’t even think about Autumn without wanting to be near her.

I loved her– a lot. 

I never realized it.

That word wouldn’t dare to cross my mind.

No– I wouldn’t let myself think of her that way.

I would ruin everything I had built.

I was so stupid.

The only thing I had for her is love.

And it still stands.

She awakened something in me that no one else ever had. With her, I felt a love that was deep and real, like I was truly cherished in a way I never thought possible. I knew how much she cared for me—how she never wanted to leave my side, and it filled me with a warmth I couldn't describe.

And I felt it too, I needed to be there for everything.

I wanted to be her everything.

-

In my head I decided since we were already in Boston to stop at a restaurant to grab something to eat before we headed home. But Nick and Chris had other plans.

“Pleasee, cmon Matt, we haven't been at the park in ages.” He whined, pleading to go to our old hangout spot.

“Chris, it’s literally 3am. No fuckin’ way.” I argued back, raising my voice.

“Matt, it’s literally on the way home just go I don’t wanna hear Chris’ whining.” Nick sighed, and rolled his eyes and he placed his phone down.

I groaned, making a right turn, heading us to the park.

Chris cheered silently, turning to Nick as he celebrated.

-

Hours passed and now it’s almost 6am. Nick and Chris retired to the car, now I’m here alone. I walked around listening to our favorite song.

Bags.

She loved Clairo.

She said that Clairo sang the unspoken things she could ever dare to say.

I got up from my seat and decided to walk to our designated hangout bench in the park.

I dragged my feet against the concrete. I still could hear the commotion of the traffic around me and the trees dancing in the wind.

Upon reaching the bench I spotted a figure huddled on our bench, a huge puffer jacket and seemed to be slightly shivering.

I didn’t think too much of it but I could recognize that jacket from anywhere.

Nah, no way it’s not her. Anyone could have that jacket.

The figure looked up and my heart dropped. I stopped in my tracks.

It’s her.

I felt like puking, my hands shaking.

I swallowed and croaked out.

“Y/N? I said, baffled, trying to make sure it was actually her.

She looked up, she was clearly out of it. Her eyes focused and narrowed at me.

Does she hate me? I swallowed hard.

“Matt?” 

Her voice trembled, barely more than a whisper, and her skin was pale and clammy, making her look fragile and ill. I could see the exhaustion in her eyes, the shadows beneath them dark and heavy. A surge of anxiety crashed over me like a wave, my chest tightening with each shallow breath. 

I felt a knot twist in my stomach, my heart racing with fear and helplessness. Was someone bothering her? Was she getting hurt? Is she doing drugs? 

“What the- What’re you doing here?” Was the only thing that came to my head when I asked her. I was speechless. I thought of this situation millions of times, and now It’s happening and I blanked out on her. My heart hasn’t slowed down, I feel like I’m going to faint right here.

She went silent.

She’s mad at me. I fucked up, theres no going back.

“U-um, I’m just- trying to get a break from all the work.” She cleared her throat, sitting back.

Silence filled the gap between you. You wished that she understood everything that was going through your head. You wish you could tell her everything, but it’d just be a hopeless and a final goodbye.

“Oh, obviously.” I shuttered, that was so stupid to ask. “Um, it’s weird to see you here, at 5- almost 6am.” I smiled, but it didn’t reach my eyes, I chuckled dryly, licking my lips.

She pursed her lips “Same to you. I thought you were at L.A?” She demanded.

I paused, I couldn’t think. Fuck “Oh. About that, I’m sorry I never talked to you. I just- I couldn’t get the courage to tell you, that’d-” I rambled, sounding like an idiot. My head falling into my hand. Wincing at my excuse.

“I couldn’t tell you that I was moving there.” My voice cut through the cold air, firm and clean.

“I never understood why you wouldn’t tell me that, especially after you told me specifically that you’d never move there.” Her brows knitted together at the center. Her voice full of concern.

She exhaled, sounding exhausted. Like she knew my answer.

“Our manager, we just listened to her. And I feel like I just betrayed you– And I know, I’m so, so, so sorry.”  I begged her, silently to understand.

Her head moved in a quick, dismissive shake. “You know me. You. know. me, Matt. That’s the crazy thing.” She let out a humorless chuckle. She stood up swiftly.

“I wouldn’t ever get mad at you for leaving to move to L.A, yeah sure I’d be confused but that’s the thing. I love you enough to understand.” She spewed out aggressively. Her eyes glossy

My heart hurt. So much more. I did this to her. She loved me. I do too.

“I love you?”

“Why didn’t you tell me this?”   I swallowed hard, feeling the sting of defeat settle in my chest. I wished I knew — God, how I wished I did. The helplessness gnawed at me, a relentless ache that twisted in my gut. I really, truly wished I had the answer.

“I didn’t tell you because it would ruin everything I wanted not to slip away from my grasp, I didn’t want my love to drive me away from this– and not that it worked, you still left. You left a hole through my already tender heart. I haven’t healed, not even a bit. I’m sore, I can’t sleep, can't eat. I can’t do anything.” 

“It wouldn’t have ruined anything” I whispered, softly.

 Those words gnawing at my exposed flesh, it was true. But it hurts, so fucking bad. It’s all in the past. 

We are talking about the past.

-

I hear my siblings call for me.

I turned to look at her but she’s already facing the other direction. Turned away from me tapping repeatedly on her phone.

“I’ll text you–” I begged her.

She nodded, “okay.” Her voice was a silent and hurtful whisper.

“I– I have so much to say. We can meet up and talk about it..” I offered. Praying she’d accept it.

She nodded again. A half smile appeared on her face.

Nothing like her true smile.

It’s like she lost herself.

Like I lost her.

We lost each other I guess.

dance dance revolution

lee riwoo x reader

reader n riwoo get into a intense dance battle on the arcade dance machine! this is the fic of my dreams 💭 i use his real name (sanghyeok) in this! lowercase intended, pls excuse any spelling mistakes/grammatical errors! enjoyy

wc: 2,505

⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖

"maybe you should start dating. get yourself out there, you know?"

lee sanghyeok rolled his eyes as his best-friend, myung jaehyun, talked his ears off. the pair of friends were at their local mall, slurping up the brightly coloured slushies they picked up at the food court as they walked beside each other on the building's white marble floors.

"i'm just saying bro...like you've been so boring these days. all you do is dance and stay at home- you should be out kissing girls like the rest of us!" jaehyun exclaims, almost choking as he finished the rest of the fruity beverage. sanghyeok laughs, tossing his own empty cup into a trashcan, "like any girl would willingly go out with me" his friend sighs, "that's so not true, i'm sure there's someone out there who's just as weird as you- ow!" jae rubs the spot on his shoulder that the other boy had just struck with his hand, a huge pout on his mouth as he did so. "maybe no chick wants you cause you're such a meanie-" he's cut off, "shut up" sanghyeok says, pressing his pointer finger over his lips to silence his friend who looked at him confused. "no, i'm serious sanghyeok, that slap really hurt and-" jaehyun doesn't get to finish again, "shh, shut up! do you hear that?"

"hear what?" the taller one asks, eyebrows furrowed as he watched his friend begin to follow whatever sound he was hearing. it got louder as they began to approach the end of the mall's hallway, an up-beat song entering their ears as they came face-to-face with what seemed to be a new arcade that had just opened. sanghyeok's eyes widened as the scene in front of him came into view, the source of the music finally revealed. jaehyun gasps, "no way...is that a...is that what i think it is?" his best-friend nods slowly, a huge grin making it's way to his face. "yup...yes it is..." he says, a passionate glint in his eyes.

"...dance dance revolution"

"c'mon!" sanghyeok says excitedly, signaling for his friend to follow him into the crowd of people that surrounded the infamous dance game. there seemed to be a match going on, two figures on the machine, a boy and a girl. the boy wore cargo pants and a jersey, eyes focused on the screen and slight worry in his breath as he tried to keep up with his opponent; a girl in a pair of low-rise jeans and a tank-top with a cute graphic on it, she had a smile on her face as her feet effortlessly moved along to the beat of the song. "woah...she's really good.." the lee boy tells his friend, watching as her hair jumped with each and every one of her moves, her giggles like music in his ears as she turned around in circles for her finale, beating her opponent with ease.

"ah fuck!" the male on the machine says, throwing his hands in the air in frustration. "haha! don't beat yourself up on it, good match" the girl cheers, reaching an arm out to shake hands. sanghyeok smiles to himself, he'd never seen anyone play dance dance revolution so...prettily. jaehyun notices his friend's gaze on the stranger, a smirk on his lips as he patted the boy on his back. "who's next?" the girl says, hands holding onto the railing of the machine's platform. "dude, this is your chance!" the myung boy whispers, pushing his friend forward. "what! no way! what if i totally make a fool out of myself and-" he didn't get to say another word, "MY FRIEND WILL PLAY!"

sanghyeok's eyes go wide and a shy blush appears on his face as everyone in the room turns to face him. the girl on the machine smiles softly at him, turning all of his insides into pure mush. "really? doesn't look like your friend is up for it..." she says, giggling at the way the boy couldn't keep eye contact with her. jaehyun nods quickly, giving his friend another push, "you'll play...right, bro?" his words are kind of taunting, like there would be grave consequences if he didn't say yes. finally, the lee boy looks up and nods, "ye...yeah...yeah let's play"

the crowd cheers for him loudly as he hops onto the platform. "hi, i'm yn...yn ln! and you are...?" the girl introduces herself and then asks, laughing slightly as he struggled to mutter out a response. "hi...hi i'm um...sanghyeok" he manages to say, lifting a hand up to shake her own. her grip on his hand is tight and warm, a fuzzy feeling swarming through his body at the contact. "nice to meet you, um...sanghyeok" she says, mimicking the way he stuttered earlier. the red on his cheeks and the tips of his ears got darker, "let's play! you are so going down" yn says, the both of them turning fully to face the screen in front of them. "don't get too cocky, yn...i'm kind of really good at this game" the girl gasps a bit, shocked by the shy boy's sudden confidence. "yeah right..." she scoffs, their banter coming to an end as the round came to a start.

"i'd like to see you try"

the audience that had now doubled gave the pair a round of applause, "get ready to dance!" said the deep male MC voice that came out of the machine, signaling for the opponents to prepare themselves. yn turned to look at her rival, their eyes meeting for a second before the loud music removed their gazes from one another and back onto the large screen. the crowd of people yelled along with the machine's voice, "three!" their hands gripped tightly against the railings, 'two!" their eyes narrowed and fixed onto the game, "one!"

the song had started, bright lights flashing in front of them as different coloured arrows moved along the screen. their feet danced to match, jumping quickly to stay on beat. as it progressed to the chorus, the arrows moved faster and so did their legs, both dancers switching from regular foot taps to full blown dance sequences. it had gotten to that point in the game where the two rivals would start showing off.

she started it first, swinging her arms side to side and around her head; a staple tutting movement as she simultaneously hit every beat with her feet. "marvelous! combo thirty!" said the machine, allowing for a smirk to reach her lips. the boy scoffs, "that all you got?" he asks, a smug look on his face as he began to shuffle his feet in the most unnecessarily complicated manner, his arms spread out wide as he isolated each joint one by one into a wave. yn's mouth hung opened but her feet kept moving, the person beside her a completely different guy from who she swore he was when he had first stepped foot onto the platform. "perfecto! combo fifty!" the pair continued back and forth in intense battle, each combo getting higher than the one before.

the audience kept hyping them up, the crowd now split into two. half of them cheering on the boy and the other half for the girl. the song was about to hit it's climax, the up-beat tune getting faster by the second. the girl is about to hit her signature finale, the one he had seen her do when she was playing before. however, she couldn't even start and he had already beat her to it. a sly smile sneaking into his lips, his fang-like teeth peaking through it as he ricocheted his feet back and forth before twisting them over each other to spin in a circle and then finally jumping up high enough to strike a quick pose in the air and landing safely back down, his right and left feet placed perfectly onto the blue and red arrows on the platform, ending the round with yet another...

"perfect combo!"

the girl is stunned, she'd never seen anyone mimic her own signature finale like that before. moreover, she had never seen anyone beat her at dance dance revolution on their very first try. and she'd never expect that the shy boy who's friend had pushed to play would be the guy that did it. "woah...you're really good" yn says, laughing as the big "LOSER" text appeared on her side of the screen. sanghyeok smiles, "what did i tell you...!" they shared another giggle as they shook hands, "good game, sanghyeok" he nods, "good game, yn" they stared at each other for a while, their ears blocking out the sound of the loud arcade. their gazes lingered on each other, as did their touch as their hands remained intertwined.

"dude! you totally crushed that!" a voice interrupts their moment, myung jaehyun re-entering the scene. "and you too...uh...what's your name again?" the pair let go of each other's hand, the girl shifting her focus over to the other boy. "hi, i'm yn!" she says cheerfully, "nice to meet you, i'm jaehyun...sanghyeok's best-friend- er, his only friend- ow!" the dancer boy's arm moves up to strike at his yapping friend's head, causing him to lose balance and stumble over slightly. "sanghyeok, bro...we really need to talk about you hitting me all the time, man..." jae complains, and the other boy just rolls his eyes.

"don't listen to him, yn. i promise i'm not that much of a loner, i swear!" sanghyeok defends himself, making the girl laugh. "you're so cute" she says, beginning to hop off the machine. he follows after her, his brain blanking out a little as he processed her words. "you...you...i'm so...what did you say?" he stutters, that familiar blush making it's way onto his cheeks again. yn giggles, "i said you're so cute, sanghyeok" she spoke so nonchalantly, like what she was saying wasn't driving the boy properly insane. "anyways...i gotta bounce, i've been on that machine since it opened today and i need to eat something before i go crazy!" the girl smiles as she talks, grabbing her bag that sat on the floor of the arcade. the boy just nods at her, not really knowing what to say.

"i guess i'll...i'll see you around?" she asks, some sort of a hopeful tone present in her voice. he nods, "yea...yeah, yes! definitely" yn giggles again and the boy mentally slaps himself for stuttering so much. "okay then...i guess...bye then..." she drags her words, as if she wanted to prolong their conversation. "yeah...bye..." his voice is quiet, like he's disappointed that she had to leave so soon. yn waves softly before she turns away, leaving the boy and his best-friend standing there in the arcade.

"ow!" sanghyeok exclaims when he feels a hand push against the side of his head. "dude what the fuck are you doing! she was obviously waiting for you to make a move! you idiot!" jaehyun whisper-yells, a look that read 'duh!!' plastered onto his complexion. the shorter one looks confused, "what do you mean? what do i do?!" he asks, beginning to panic. "don't worry i gotchu bro" - "what's that supposed to-"

"HEY YN!! SANGHYEOK THINKS YOU'RE CUTE TOO AND TOTALLY WANTS TO GO OUT WITH YOU!!!"

the shy dancer boy slaps his palm onto his forehead, a feeling of deja vu when all eyes in the arcade turn towards him and his comically annoying best-friend. yn laughs, beginning to walk towards them again. "is that so?" she asks when she's finally within earshot. sanghyeok is flustered all over again, his eyes moving from looking at her to looking at the floor. he can't seem to speak though his mouth did open to. jaehyun rolls his eyes, nudging his friend to hurry up. "ye...yeah- i mean! you're...you're really cool and i think...i think we should...you know..." he starts, scratching the back of his head though it wasn't even a little bit itchy. the girl furrows her eyebrows and tilts her head, trying to understand what the boy was saying.

"you know...we should...go...out? some...time?"

the whole room goes silent, every single human being in the arcade stopping their games to watch and listen intently to the pair's conversation. yn's lips crack into a big smile, "i'd like that" she says, laughing when his eyes go wide in disbelief. "seriously?!" he practically squealed, his eyes disappearing and his teeth peaking out as he grinned widely. "yeah!" she says, "in fact...why don't you come grab something to eat with me right now? i heard they've got a yummy donut shop down on the first floor and-" she gets cut off, "shut up!" sanghyeok exclaims, a look of worry suddenly washing over the girl's face. "what...is it something i said? or..." the boy shakes his head, "what? oh! no, no! i just...really like...donuts..." his voice quiets down, suddenly feeling shy about his enthusiasm for the sugary treat. her nose scrunches up at him, finding his mannerisms so insanely cute.

"c'mon then, before i actually die of hunger" yn exaggerates, tilting her head in the direction of the arcade's exit. "yeah...let's go" sanghyeok smiles, nodding his head softly as he followed her out. "go get her, tiger! call me later! love you broski!" jaehyun yells out to his friend, scoffing and pressing a hand to his chest in shock when he only gets a middle finger in response.

"so you dance professionally?"

lee sanghyeok nods, taking a bite out of his glazed donut. "since i was three years old" he says. "no wonder..." yn ln responds, giggling when he looks up at her confused with powdered sugar coating his lips. "...only professionals are able to beat me in dance dance revolution!" the boy almost chokes at her words, "you're telling me you don't dance professionally? but you're so good?" the girl smiles, shaking her head. "nope! i watched a lot of dance movies growing up...and i just really love dance...but i never really got the chance to learn professionally...i'd love to though..." she trails off, taking a sip out of her drink. "i just don't know where to start"

sanghyeok nods along with her words, his eyes widening when an idea crosses his mind. "hey! maybe i could...like...teach you some time...maybe- i mean, if you want to, of course! i'm not forcing it on you or anything like that...it's just an idea that-" his rambling comes to an end when she stuffs a donut into his mouth.

"you know you talk just as much as your friend back there does..." yn teases, watching as he wiped away the chocolate filling that stained his lips. "but i love that...the idea i mean..." he raises his eyebrows, "really? cause if you do i'm so down to!" he says excitedly, and she nods with the same enthusiasm. "so..."

"how 'bout tomorrow? unless it's too soon?" - "it's never too soon to see you again, yn" - "okay, bring back shy stuttering sanghyeok, flirty sanghyeok is scary!"

he laughs, "...so tomorrow?" she nods, "tomorrow."

the end.

Transcript:

Kenna (Murph): I've heard you bringing up like, family and stuff a lot? And… I don't-- I don't totally know how to say this, but do you think that I could show you something through like your spores thing? Do you think it works like that? Sol (Caldwell): I mean, we can certainly try, I'm not really sure what all it's capable of, but… yeah! Let's give it a go! Murph: You hop off the treadmill, you see Kenna walks up, puts her hands on your head, um, and then rests her head against them. And you feel a sudden [whoosh, snaps] jolt as you are pulled into one of Kenna's memories. [The Gunslinger's Girl plays softly in the background] Murph: And you see Jaina Bronzebeard, looking over some kind of city plans in her study in like the Irondeep Castle, she's looking all stressed out. And then you see… Kenna enters the room. You see Kenna is wearing like, civilian clothes, just like a regular tunic and no plate mail. And Jaina goes-- Jaina (Murph): Shouldn't you be out in the yard sparring? Murph: And Kenna looks down. Kenna: I'm.. I'm leaving Irondeep. My… My father's been sending me money, and I-- I bribed one of the couriers and they… they told me where I could find him. So I'm-- I'm gonna go to Ezry. And I'm gonna look for him. Murph: Jaina puts down her work and nods, and sort of crosses her arms and thinks and goes-- Jaina: Well has, um, has he reached out to you at all? Or… or are you the one that is doing all the work? Murph: And Kenna looks down again, kind of not wanting to answer. And Jaina gets up from her desk, walks around, and kneels next to the young squire. And goes-- Jaina: I will not tell you what to do. If you choose to go to Ezry to look for him, I will charter the airship myself. But I-- I wanna tell you something. I have had two little sisters in my life. One shared a family name with me, and the other did not. One liked jewels in her beard and music and dancing, and the other liked hammers and plate mail and sparring. Murph: And she sort of pats on Kenna. Jaina: And she wanted very much to be a knight. I would hate to see her throw that dream away. And I would hate to lose another sister. Murph: Kenna just breaks down crying and buries her face in Jaina's chest, and Jaina brings her in, kind of holds her for a moment, and then Jaina pulls back and makes eye contact with her, and goes-- Jaina: The gods do not decide who is and isn't family. Murph: And you [whoosh, music ends] come out of the trance, and see Kenna standing there, kind of awkwardly and teary eyed. Kenna: So, yeah, that's… just, I thought maybe… Sol: No, yeah, no, that's-- Kenna: Yeah. Sol: I know that you call yourself a squire but… I can see it, everyone can see it, you've got a knight's heart beating proudly under that iron. Kenna: Thank you for saying that, Mr. Bufo! And-- Sol: Just call me Sol. Kenna: (laughs) That's gonna be a hard habit to break Mr B-- Sol. Sol. [Caldwell laughs] Murph: And you see she goes over to her like, pack, and she goes-- Kenna: Anyway, I-- I found some old books in the equipment bags. Murph: And you see she pulls out a copy of The Boy Wizard and his Frog Pal. And she hands it to you. Sol: Oh! Oh gosh, this old thing. Kenna: Hey man, I know the monsters weren't real at Launchpad, but I thought the main characters were very believable as brothers. Sol: You're right. Thank you for reminding me, you know, no matter how much we loose, we gotta hold on to what we have and we gotta… double down on those connections. I'm really glad that we got to meet you. I'm really glad you're here. Kenna: Thanks big bro! Murph: Um, gives you a big hug.

ok dinosaur jr was Fucking Phenomenal as expected (possibly even more phenomenal than expected. couldnt feel my hands after. im really exercising self control by not writing more about it here) i was the only bitch dancing which was medium humilating but idgaf it's yalls loss its fucking DINOSAUR....🤷🏻‍♀️

Low Point: i was not big on the flaming lips in the first place and they were following the best half hour of beautiful noise of my life so i was like. well. maybe it'll be good. GIRLS......idk. idkkkk wayne coynes kind of annoying as fuck. he kept saying GO ON GUYS!!! SCREAM!!!! SCREAM MORE!!!!! KEEP SCREAMING 🤓 and the songs were all kind of mid is the thing. i never liked she dont use jelly. do you realise is just fine to me. yoshimi etc.. and there were so many goddamn lasers and balloons and inflatables and i was like......ughh i felt like they were in some way compensating for the music being not that great. maybe it's just cus im not into them that much in the first place but it generally just pissed me awf. THAT being said the best part by far was the dorky middle aged guy in front of me visibly having the time of his goddamn LIFE 🥺 shaking his fists in the air and hugging his partner and singing to her. like this guy was so purely happy it was amazing to see :) bro was radiating joy

weezer was doing too much tbh but it was kind of endearing to see them have some sort of goofy KISS-esque stage production. like why did this fuckin weezer show have a plot. it was rlly sweet tho and they played several songs i adore that i did NOT expect (burndt jamb 🥰 PErfect situation!!!)... lot of pinkerton they played fucking getchoo 😫... they sounded so so so good but there was this weird vocal filter on rivers like it was compressed or pitched up or something...yea. i was exhausted by the end but hearing only in dreams with my bf was extremely special to me :0) fun nite overall i know probably no one cares but whatever where else am i gonna write this. yeah

SAY GOODBYE : chapter 3

Cause I really don’t feel the way I once felt about you Girl it’s not, you , it’s me

Synopsis: In which Wooyoung finds himself loving someone else other than his girlfriend

Pairing : Balletdancer! reader x dancer!Wooyoung

Warnings: this chapter includes mentions of , Wooyoung being in love , kissing, infidelity, cheating , teasing , rebounding, slight angst , deep talk with Yeosang, distress , bullying etc .

Word count : 1,8k

He starred down at his girlfriends sleeping figure  unable to see the love and sparks he once had  whenever he looked at her , it was just as if the love he kept inside for her  vanished

It all started when he saw her dancing so beautifully full of emotions

The way your light brown eyes and bright white teeth smile enchanted him was a memory to never forget , everytime he closed his eyes at night you appeared trapping the boy in his dreams unable to wake up even if he wanted to

Wooyoung was confused about everything after you invaded his heart and mind , it all just wanted to crave and think about you pushing the space he had in his for his girlfriend away

He felt hands roaming his chest making his breathing hitch , it was her  waking up 

" Bae why are you awake ...? "

She asked going for a kiss but he turned his head around not in the mood

" I just can't sleep anymore "

He sighed brushing his hair back frustrated

" You know we can always talk about everything that's concerning you "

The girl  took his hands into hers but it wasn't the right time for Wooyoung to be held and given any sort of comfort at that moment , so he placed them back on her lap making her confused

" It's ok just go back to sleetp "

He stood up and put on his slippers and hoodie on

" Baby , what is wrong where are you going ? "

He ignored her and left their apartment completely walking down the block

His heart ached so much to the point he couldn't breath or think properly

As we walked around the block more than he could count he saw Yeosang sitting by the football field

" What are you doing here late at night "

Yeosang looked back starlet as he sighed in relief after seeing it was just his friend

" My roommate locked us both out and now we can't go back in besides the student services is closed and just opens at seven "

" You could've crashed at Seonghwas since Joong is at his parents "

Wooyoung chuckled and sat down beside his buddy

" Seonghwa sleeps with music on there's no way he'd hear me knock "

" Yeah but he doesn't care he likes his peace "

Both let out a breathy laugh and looked at the stars

" Why are you here outside? "

Yeosang asked yawning

" I just had a lot in my head and it prevented me to keep sleeping "

" What happened? , also I haven't seen your girl best friend or whatever she is too you "

Wooyoung sighed and slowly looked at Yeosang

" Be honest with me Yeo , would I be a bad person to just initiate a kiss and just leave the person hanging and leave ? "

Yeosang cocked his brows and the moment he understood what his friend said his jaw dropped

" Wooyoung don't tell me you did that "

" Is it bad ? "

" Of course it is bro you've played her and now you're ghosting the poor girl let alone you cheated on your girlfriend "

Yeosang whisper shouted while slapping Wooyoung on the head

" What was that for ?! , and I just don't know what to do anymore "

He cried out and dropped his head

" Well do you have a thing for her ? "

" Yeosang if you could look inside my head you'd know how much she's invading my thoughts with her sweet smile and with her beauty that is just so breathtaking "

The boy sighed rubbing his face

"I knew this was going to happen after I saw the way you looked at her dancing two weeks ago , you fell for her "

" Yeosang I just can't forgive myself for kissing her and wanting more "

" Let alone you ghosted her while having a girlfriend, wait does she even know your taken by Seola ? You know what this means ? "

" No she doesn't know and I don't want her to know either "

" Wooyoung stop being selfish, you're hurting people with your choices "

" I know but I just can't help it "

" If anyone else finds out it's not only going to cause drama but people are going to start talking bad about her , you remember what happened to Byungwoo right ? "

" Yeah he left school because they bullied his girlfriend and him after he ….. "

Wooyoung sighed pausing as he saw that history was repeating itself

" Yeah and do you want people to recognise you for that all your life? "

" But what can I do if I like her ? "

" You already have a girlfriend let the girl go "

" Yeosang it's not that easy , I'm attached already it's like after we kissed our souls tied together and that we belong to each other "

" There's no such thing as soul ties what are you talking about "

Yeosang looked at him as if he was crazy

" Yeosang you're not being very helpful "

He looked at his friend frustrated

"Dude whatever just leave me out of this mess I don't want to be dragged down with you "

Wooyoung scoffed and stood up leaving

He was mad that his friend didn't understand in what situation he was in , or how hard it was to forget someone you liked

So he decided to call a Uber and do one thing that made him relax

dancing was one of the things that just helped and never judged him

He arrived at the studio he usually frequents so he could practice his dance

He took his hoodie off leaving his shirt on as he was about to open the door he heard faint music coming from the practice room

"Who would dance at this hour to sad music?"

He muttered to himself peaking inside seeing blue lights shining as someone danced beautifully without missing a beat

The way they moved so smoothly with a care in the world as they kept twirling

Wooyoung opened the door a little bit more so he could see better but his hearts stopped when he saw who was dancing

It was her the pretty girl that locked herself into his heart and mind

With each step she took or how she swayed beautifully made his heart beat more

The boy continued watching not even realising that he clapped after she finished making her jump in surprise

" How long have you been watching me ? "

He didn't say anything as he watched her sit down and massage her feet

" Wooyoung? Why are you so quiet? "

Wooyoung slowly entered the room and sighed

" Look Y/n I feel ashamed standing in front of you again after two weeks "

She smiled and shook her head

" I didn't take it personally so it's all good don't worry, but I was hurt when you ignored my messages even though I'm pretty sure you read them but decided not to click on them "

His heart sunk when she clearly described what he did but wasn't mad about it

" I'm so sorry I was just ashamed to even respond I thought you were mad at me "

He sat down beside her and sighed

" Hey I said it's ok don't worry "

She rubbed his hands and looked at him smiling

" Why did you leave so suddenly? "

" I was afraid of going further "

Y/n chuckled and pushed his shoulder

" Was I that bad of a kisser ? "

He looked at her letting out a pretty laugh as he smiled back at her

" No your kiss pretty good from what I recall "

She cocked her brow up with a smug grin on her face

" Oh yeah , did mister Wooyoung ignore me because I was a good kisser ? "

She joked to lighten the mood and Wooyoung couldn't help but smile

" Well if you want me to be honest with you, you've been invading mind way to much lately actually and it's driving me insane "

He locked eyes with her as she looked at him some type of way he couldn't describe

" Wooyoung, ever since we shared that kiss I've been feeling lost like what are we ? we just got to know each other but I feel like I've known you for ages and I can't help it  "

" I feel the same , I don't want to rush things but it just happened "

She came closer so that's she was kneeling in between his legs as she brushed his long hair back

"I couldn't help but let my heart do what it wanted ,and apparently it chose to fall for you "

He leaned back supporting himself with his hands as she came closer

" So tell me Wooyoung can I let my heart call you it's owner ? "

The way she leaned in slowly made his mouth dry so he just couldn't let a sound out

" Tell me do you want to be the owner of my heart Wooyoung? "

Y/n was just inches away from his lips making him gulp but not back out

" Yes , gosh please yes I want to "

He cried out desperately and captured her lips on his

Both of them kissed each other like there was no tomorrow, he had laid completely on the floor leaving her on top of him as they tangled their feet's together

" Can I make you mine ? "

The boy just nodded at this point he was just desperate to accept anything she asked him

" I couldn't hear you baby "

She kissed his neck softly making him whine

" Y-Yes I want to be yours "

" Goodness I've never seen someone so submissive before "

He chuckled and switched positions making her lay under him

" Don't get ahead of yourself little lady "

She grinned and pulled him again for a kiss which he gladly returned

Both laid there as Wooyoung slowly caressed her back

“ It’s so cold but I feel warm because of you”

Y/n smiled and snuggled onto him taking in his sweet scent

“ I could take a nap here with you but we have school tomorrow ”

“ Well if you want to nap with me we can go back to my place, i moved recently two blocks away from here and also I work at a boutique which means no free milkshake for you ”

Wooyoung laughed and kissed her forehead

“ If I get to kiss you every time than I can’t really complain about the milkshakes ”

“ Who told you that I’m gonna allow that ”

She teased him making Wooyoung kiss her softly so she would be quiet

“ because I said so darling "

Both smiled at each other before leaving to her place, Wooyoung’s mind felt at ease even though it really wasn’t a hundred percent

Yeosang’s words kept lingering in his mind , was he really that bad of a person?

Was he slowly turning into Byung-woo ?

But he couldn’t help loving someone else, was it forbidden to love now ?

He would never understand so he choose to let his worries wander around freely as he slept soundly with Y/n snuggled up to him in nothing but his hoodie

achilles heel - II: I Figured She Was His Sarah

summary:

Grace is the very opposite of her brother in every way. when she finally moves onto campus at UNC Chapel Hill, she feels like she gets to be her own person, make her own friends, and hopefully start a promising career in the museum industry, and maybe, one day, get married to her high school sweetheart and live the American dream for herself. Rafe Cameron however, upon their very first meeting, throws a wrench in her very perfect plan.

January 5th, 2019

Rafe eyes the ball flying towards him from up above, stepping back a few paces and raising his leg, and lowering it quickly to cushion its fall and keep it from flying out of his control, giving it a gentle tap a few feet away so he can wind up for his shot. He nails it, and it lands right against the top left corner of the net in front of him.

He smiles in satisfaction with himself, placing his hands on his hips as he steps off to the sidelines to grab some water while his coach spouts off at the next player in line. He watches for a minute or so before his eyes drift upwards in the indoor field, landing on the looping track on the next level up.

The indoor fields at UNC are honestly impressive- and actually, were a huge motivator for Rafe to attend. Besides the fact that his dad would have had a conniption at the mere mention of him going anywhere else. Overlooking the indoor soccer field is a full-size running track, circling over top with a glass barrier. From up above you have a great view of whatever's going on down below, and lucky for Rafe, on this day, he has a great view of Grace walking laps around the track, right along the railing.

She didn't even realize her brother would be practicing at the same time she decided to take a study break and stretch her legs, but she's always enjoyed watching his sports games the same way Ben used to attend all her dance and violin recitals when they were growing up. It was a pleasant surprise to be able to look down and watch him practice while she listened to her music and got a good healthy break from her stuffy dorm room.

"Cameron- stop drooling over the track girls and get back out here." His coach calls him, pulling him out of his mind as he watched her walk about halfway around the track without even noticing a moment had passed. He's pretty sure she didn't look down for even a moment. Rafe promptly throws his water bottle back into his gym bag on the ground, jogging back over to join the next drill. Sprints- everyone's favorite.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･

"So, you into track? Or..." Rafe says, joining Grace's side as she continued to walk even when their practice was over.

"Huh?" She pulls out her headphone, looking over at him with a smile. "Oh! You're Ben's friend. I'm so sorry- you'll have to remind me of your name...?"

"It's- uh, my name is Rafe." He's taken aback by her response- he's never had someone forget his name before. "I was just wondering if you were into track or something." He repeats.

"Right, yes! Rafe. Sorry, I'm not the best with names," She explains, attempting to ease his mind. She understood it was rude to forget names, but honestly, his is a little bit obscure so how could she have remembered when she's only heard it once before? "And no, not really into track." Grace laughs slightly, shaking her head and looking down. "I just wanted to stretch my legs. My room is just so cramped."

"Ah, gotcha." Rafe nods, his duffle slung over his shoulder with all his soccer gear thrown inside hastily.

"I can't imagine it's as bad as the frat." She jokes.

Rafe laughs at that. "Yeah, no way. It's honestly the worst."

"Ben loves it, though. Just bros being dudes, all sharing a house." She shrugs. "Sounds like my own personal version of hell, that might just be me though."

"Well, that explains why I've never seen you there," Rafe replies.

Grace nods, reaching up and tightening her ponytail as it started to drop down the back of her head. "I just can't even imagine the smell."

"It's pretty bad." He agrees, chuckling at that as he shakes his head, his eyes trained firmly on the side of her face since she was no longer looking at him.

"What about your boyfriend? He live on campus too?" Rafe asks, trying not to sound like he's prying.

Grace nods again, clearly not reading into it. "Yeah, he lives a couple floors below me."

"Would I know him?"

"Probably not- unless you know a lot of the engineering kids. From the impression I get, they tend to keep within their own group." She explains. "He's also in his third year now, so that affects things too."

Grace has always been a little insecure around Nate's friends, more so now that she's in the same school. They're all just so intimidatingly smart- and she knows she's smart too, but engineering students have this annoying habit of looking down on other majors. Especially art- so they immediately treat her accordingly; as if she's an idiot.

"I definitely don't know any engineering students," Rafe says. "What's his name?"

"Nate- Nathan." She corrects herself quickly, remembering he doesn't like strangers calling him by his nickname.

"Cool." Rafe nods, and he's pained by the few moments of silence that follow.

"What about you? Do you have a girlfriend?" Grace asks, which shocks him. She didn't seem super conversational before, or really interested in him personally. "Or boyfriend, I realize I don't know you well enough to make that assumption.

"No, uh, no girlfriend." He replies, brushing past her second comment. "Relationships have never really been my thing."

"Fair enough." Grace nods. "I mean, fits into what little I know about Ben's teammates."

"Gee, thanks."

"That's not a bad thing!" Grace backtracks quickly. "Sorry, Rafe, I feel like I've made a shitty first impression." She admits, rubbing her forehead.

Rafe smiles a little at that, shaking his head. "No, you're fine." He promises her. He's honestly met handfuls of girls who have probably made way worse first impressions and he's still gone home with them anyways, but there's something about Grace that had her on his mind all day regardless.

"I'm glad you feel that way since we've got a whole semester of seeing each other twice a week ahead of us." Grace laughs.

"What do you plan on doing with a history degree, anyways?" He asks her.

"I'm thinking I want to be a museum curator. I've just always been so fascinated with all that stuff." Grace explains, shrugging her shoulders just slightly.

"That's cool- I never considered that like, people have to do that as a job." Rafe muses.

"Well, what's your plan then? With history?"

Rafe doesn't honestly have an answer. "Uh, I don't know. I just feel like the courses would be really interesting. 120 Is kind of a trial run for me."

"Well, I hope you like it! Last semester my history courses were the highlights. I hated my requirements." She laughs. "I don't understand why I had to take a science for a Bachelor of Arts degree, but at least it's done."

"Ugh." Rafe groans. "Maybe I don't want to take history then."

"Then you definitely don't want to take business- it's a surprising amount of math, and communications is such a drag." Grace explains, stopping off the track near the exit where she placed her backpack.

"Uh, do you want me to walk you back to your dorm?" Rafe offers, following behind her like a lost puppy, trying not to stare as she bends over to grab her bag, pulling her water bottle out.

She turns and throws her bag over her shoulder, taking a sip of water. "No! No, you don't need to do that. Thank you, though."

Grace smiles at him, and he just nods. "I'll see you tomorrow, bright and early?" She asks, and Rafe takes this as his cue to leave her be.

"Yeah, uh, yeah. I'll see you then." He replies, watching keenly as she waves and turns to leave. "Hey, Grace?"

"Hm?" She turns, slowing her pace as she walks backward.

"Maybe I could grab your number? I feel like if I get around to doing the readings tonight I may have some questions and I think you could clear those up." Rafe asks. Not his smoothest attempt at getting a girl's number, asking her to help him with homework, but at least it seemed relevant and not weird.

Grace couldn't hide her disappointment at this, but she tried to keep her smile. Of course, her brother's friend would also want help with homework. "Sure, ask Ben for it." She replies, pushing open the door to the stairs and promptly leaving him behind as it slams behind her.

Rafe sighs, dropping his shoulders. He knows Ben won't give it to him if he even decided to ask. There goes his shot, which for once, he wasn't sure he even had. He sulks to himself as he walks out of the building, unable to stop himself from glancing down the tree-lined road heading in the direction of the dorms. He sees Grace making her way down the road just as he gets on his dirt bike, watching her turn a corner and leave his line of sight behind a patch of trees.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･

"Rafe- hey, buddy, are you gonna help us prep for the opener this weekend?" His lifelong friend, Kelce, asks him as he walks in their front door.

"Another one?" Rafe sighs, throwing his bag down on the table.

"Well, duh, we had one last semester. We have to get back into the routine after Christmas break." Kelce explains, hardly looking back from his video games on their obnoxiously large TV.

"Okay, then yeah, I guess so." Rafe shrugs, striding over and falling back onto the couch next to him. "Who are we inviting?"

"Anyone. Everyone who will pay to get in- also the sorority girls." Kelce answers.

"Gotcha. They're annoying as hell." Rafe admits. He thought he'd be all over the idea of sorority girls- pretty girls who are nice enough to do charity events twice a week, but smart enough to maintain good enough grades to stay there. Surprisingly to him, he kind of dreads having to be around all of them at once.

His friend laughs, shaking his head. "True. They're hot though. That's what matters." Kelce drops his controller when the game over screen pops up, sighing and leaning back on the couch cushions. "Want to do a booze run with me tonight?"

"Uh, I mean I guess so. I've got some readings to do tonight so I probably should get that done first." Rafe agrees, mindlessly scrolling on his phone.

"Woah-" Kelce laughs, "You're doing readings now? Since when do you care?"

"I don't. Not really. I mean, it might be nice to actually understand what's going on." Rafe shrugs, not pulling his eyes from the screen in front of him.

"I mean, yeah? I guess so." Kelce agrees, eyeing his friend skeptically.

"Did you know Ben has a sister?" Rafe says, catching his friend off guard.

"I mean, yeah, he's mentioned her once or twice."

"She's in our class. They're straight up twins, I didn't even know he had a sister until yesterday."

"Yeah because your head is always so far up your own ass." Kelce laughs. "To be fair I didn't know shit about her. Or that he had a twin. I figured she was his Sarah, like, probably hated her guts so I never bothered to ask her name or anything."

"Yeah... true. It's Grace, though, if you wanted to know." Rafe replies flatly, shoving his phone in his pocket and standing up, grabbing his bag as Kelce picks up the controller again. "Hey- do you think we could ask the team if we should invite the engineering kids this weekend? I've heard they party pretty hard."

"Yeah, we'll ask. Can't see why they'd say no to more people."

Rafe nods even though his friend can't see him, and stalks up the stairs and towards his room. He sees no harm in having just a quick nap before starting the readings.

Hi! Can I please request Josh Allen at his wedding and you reveal yourself in your wedding dress and you see him and his tux for the first time. (Like those trends where the bride reveals herself to surprise her husband before going down the aisle) thank you!!!

I’m gonna puke right now -Josh Allen

Summary: y/n and josh have a private first look. full and full of surprises

Notes: YOU GUYS ARE ABSOLUTELY SPOILING ME WITH THESE REQUESTS

there will be an insta post sorta thing at the end. this is also a double wammy sorta thing. 😎

he is absolutely adorable

You’d think dating the woman of your dreams for ten years would make you less nervous on your wedding day.

not for josh. josh thinks that if he married y/n the day they met he would’ve been less nervous then now.

as he finished the last sentence on the letter he was sending y/n before they got married, a private vow swap as they like to call it, his hand was shaking more than it has before any football game he’s ever played in.

he handed his brother the letter and took a breath as y/ns sister knocked on the door

josh opened it, y/s (your sister) smiled and handed josh the letter. “your so handsome josh, she’s gonna cry”

“i’m gonna cry. and puke” josh said, running his hand through his hair. “josh no! don’t ruin your hair” jason, josh’s brother, said

y/s laughed, flatting his hair. “your gonna be fine”

y/s walked away after jason handed her the letter.

y/n on the other hand, was having an amazing time. she was twirling around in her beautiful dress, dancing to taylor swift as y/s walked into the room. “read the letter y/n, it’s almost time for first looks.” y/n sat down, opening the letter

Dear y/n, my princess

fr bro, i can smell you from here PLS take a shower before i kiss you at the alter, xoxo -joshy poo

ps: for real though I wish i got down on one knee the second i knocked on your dorm. it was love at first sight and the thought of having a life without you hasn’t even occurred to me since. I think the Lord wanted us to be married, not only because we’re perfect together but also because it takes a miracle for the bengals to win a super bowl. I can’t WAIT to see you in that dress princess. also, i’m seriously about to puke

love, joshy<3

y/n laughed, holding the letter to her chest. “joshy” she smiled even brighter.

Josh was beyond nervous to read the letter, or for y/n to read her letter. “josh, read the letter” jason said, putting his hand on josh’s shoulder. “if y/n wasn’t a hundred and ten percent sure about the both of you she wouldn’t have stayed with you ten years. i know i would’ve left you 10 years ago” he joked.

josh took a breath, opening the letter.

Dear Joshy,

Not gonna lie you are a butt munch and i want to punch you all the time. i can not wait to want to punch you everyday of the rest of my life. you are my everything, and i thank you for letting me find myself and my career, and now i get to work with you and be with you for the rest of forever. i really do love you so so much. except i actually hate you, love you babes :)

love, your princess

Josh felt the burning in the back of his throat. he shook his head with a bright smile. “jason, i really love her” josh said, folding the letter and putting it in his bag.

“i know you do josh, it’s time to go see her”

Josh stood, smoothing out his suit, and fixing his hair. “i’m seriously going to vomit” josh said, standing in front of the door.

“your telling me, when you open this door, my girl is going to be standing outside of the other door in a beautiful dress that i havnt seen and that’s the last time i’ll ever see her as my girlfriend?” jason laughed. “your both gonna be blind folded” he explained, putting the blind fold on josh’s eyes. “when y/n says, you’ll both take your blind folds off” josh nodded, completely sightless “in less than an hour she’s gonna be your wife” josh was holding his breath trying not to cry.

jason stood at the door with his hand on the knob. “ready josh?” josh nodded “i can’t wait” so jason opened the door, and josh stepped out of it.

“hi joshy” y/n said. y/n hadn’t told josh that she wasn’t blind folded, she had a surprise.

josh had a bag in his pocket, they were doing a present exchange. a forever gift as y/n has been calling it. josh reached his hand out. “y/n” he whispered under his breath, he didn’t know how to talk. “y/n baby, i love you” he said as she took his hand into her own. “i can’t believe we’re getting married today” y/n said, as her sister and jason went back into seperate rooms, leaving the two alone.

y/n wasn’t blindfolded, josh didn’t know.

“josh i want to open your present first” she said, her finger running over his hand “can you see me?” she giggled “yeah” josh scoffed “you suck!” he laughed, smiling at his future wife. he reached into his pocket and pulled out the small bag.

it was a small locket, y/n opened it, looking at the pictures inside of it. “joshy…” the pictures where the two of them in her college dorm, and the two of them on their first date at his football game. “this is beautiful” she whispered under her breath.

after skillfully putting the locket on, wanting it for the wedding, and she put her hand on josh’s face. “i’m gonna take your blindfold off josh” he smiled. “i want to see my beautiful girl”

she pulled off his blind fold and his mouth fell open. “y/n…” he looked at his fiancé, studying her entire body. “it’s so beautiful, your so so beautiful” his eyes welled with tears. “i’m gonna vomit” he said, making y/n almost fall over from laughing.

josh was full on face full of tears, “i never saw myself being married to anyone.” he held both her hands. “but the second i saw you in your bummed out clothes and your messy hair all i could think about was marrying you one day.” he pulled one hand up and wiped his tears away. “i am so happy, because,” he took a breath because of a sob irrupting from his throat. y/n pulled him into a hug. he buried his head into her shoulder. “do not ruin my dress joshua!” she laughed, hugging him close. “i’m so happy because i found the person who is going to grow old with me.” he looked up from the hug, putting his hand on her cheek. “and you are the most beautiful girl in the entire world

y/n” y/n smiled, then her eyes brightened up “josh!” she giggled, letting go of his hands and putting them into her dress. “it has pockets!!” she showed, twirling around with happiness as she remembered the main reason she bought this dress

“oh yeah” she then pulled out a stick, not wrapped, not bagged, just the stick it’s self, placing it into his hand.

“no your kidding” josh said, as he realized what she just placed in his hand. “this is your present?” his hands began to shake. “Y/n your joking, like this is really fake” his eyes welled with tears again, and y/ns did as well

“we’re having a baby josh” she whispered, he looked up into her eyes. “i’m gonna be a dad” she nodded, and he pulled her into a big hug. as josh cried, holding y/n, jason and y/s walked into the hall. “it’s time” y/s said, josh let go of y/n, kissing her cheek.

“i’ll see you at the alter beautiful”

y/n smiled, watching her future husband walk out of the room with jason, and she saw the exact moment josh told jason he was goin go to be a dad. josh turned once more to look at his fiancé one last time as his fiancé “i’m gonna puke right now”

THE WEDDING

That’s part 1⬆️

Y/N POV

I’m getting my makeup and hair done right now and I’m so scared to the point where I’m shaking Thomas’ girlfriend Ava who is also my bridesmaid notices this and says “y/n it’s gonna be ok just relax” “Ava it’s kinda hard to relax when I’m gonna get married in 2 hours” “y/n claim down he loves you no need to be nervous” “right sorry” I know Ava was trying to help but her pep talk only made me more anxious. At this point my hair and makeup is done, I sent all the bridesmaids out the room so I can change into my dress, I put my dress on and looked in the mirror as I tried not to cry i really can’t believe I’m about to get married to the love of the life, my whole life is about to change for the better. I walk out of the room so the bridesmaids can get the first look. “Oh y/n you look beautiful” Ava says “girllll you look hottt” Nolan’s girlfriend Kennedy says which makes me laugh, the rest of the bridesmaids just look at me in aww “ I can’t believe I’m about to get married you guys” “ well believe it girl” Kennedy tells me.

NICKS POV

I’m looking in the mirror adjusting my suit before I feel a pat on the back from my groomsman Nolan “dude your about to have some good sex today” he says laughing “ew Nolan” I responded he puts his hands up In defense before saying “just sayin bro” Brendan comes and smacks Nolan on the back of the head before he says “dude don’t be gross” “bro why is everyone attacking me right now” Nolan says before he gives Brendan a light shove. “Alright you two break it up” Thomas says before he walks over to me “ you got this bro, just imagine how pretty she’s gonna look in that dress” that puts a smile on my face.

Y/N POV

The wedding is starting and I’m so scared as the bridesmaids and groomsmen are walking down the isle I get a little peak of Nick,he looks so handsome as soon as I see him all my nerves float away and suddenly I’m excited to get married. The music starts to play as I’m walking down the isle in my beautiful white dress up with flowers on it I look up at nick to notice he’s crying. When I get to the altar he whispers in my ear “baby you look so beautiful I can’t believe you’re about to me mine” “Nicky I was always yours” our conversation ends when the minister starts to talk (skip all the boring talking stuff) “Nick do you take y/n to be your wedded wife in sickness and health” “I do” “and y/n do you take nick to be your wedded husband in sickness and health” “I do” “I now pronounce you husband and wife, nick you may now kiss your bride” as we kiss I hear cheers from all the hockey boys. “GET IT CAP” I hear Nolan say, that brings a smile to face before nick and I both laugh.

At the reception

Nick and I sit down for a bit before it’s time for our first dance as we enter the dance floor we get cheers before our song starts to play ‘say you won’t let go’ by James Arthur as we’re slow dancing nick looks at me and says “god baby your so beautiful” “you look so handsome Nicky” I say before I kiss him “so how does it feel to finally be a blankenburg” “it feels amazing,I’ve waited for this moment my entire life, Nicky you’ve actually made my dream of getting married come true” he giggles a little bit, god that giggle I love that giggle I could listen to that giggle forever. “Well I’m glad I’ve made your dream come true mrs.blankenburg” he says before giving me a wink “well thank you for making my dream come true mr. blankenburg” bye the time our conversation is over the song comes to an end. As I walk back to our table nicks mom walks to him so they can have their mother son dance, as Nick is dancing with his mom mark estapa comes and sits in the seat beside me “so when are you and cap gonna have a kid” “not any time soon mark I already have to take care of you guys” “ wow you are the team mom now hm” “I guess it’s official now” I say laughing “so can I call you mom now” “mark go back to your seat” I say giggling “got it mom” he tells me, I just shake my head. Nicks walks back over to his seat and smiles at me before he puts his arm over the back of my chair “what was the convo with estapa about” “ I don’t even know I think he’s already drunk a little bit” nick laughs before saying “I wouldn’t doubt it” the food is getting served right now and it’s probably the best food I’ve ever ate. After everyone eats it’s time to cut the cake, we decided on a small cake just because our wedding isn’t that big. After everyone is done with cake the DJ starts to play music, I look over at nick and say “yeah mark is definitely drunk, look at him, he’s absolutely destroying the dance floor right now” nick looks at mark before laughing and saying “ oh my god we got to cut him off” “yeah definitely” are conversation gets cut off my Matty coming up to us “congratulations you guys, y/n you look beautiful as always” he says before giving me a wink. “Matty I’m a married woman and your still trying to flirt with me” I say as I laugh “well is it working” “no Matty it’s not working” nick decided to ignore it because he could tell Matty was drunk. Matty walks away from the table as nick speaks up “wow why is everyone drunk right now” “I have the slightest idea Nicky” I say as I lean my head down on his shoulder, nick gives me a kiss on my head. At this point we’re just watching the wedding die down, soon enough mostly everyone leaves besides the bridesmaids and groomsmen they stayed to help up pack up the wedding. About an hour later the wedding is packed up and nick and I are off to our hotel as we walk in I see a gift bag I look inside the bad to find a bunch of white Lingerie and a note “I hope you two have fun tonight- Kennedy and Nolan ” Nicky come look at this” nick walks out of the bathroom and stands behind me looking in the bag before saying “ well Kennedy and Nolan spent their money on this we can’t just let it go to waste” he says squeezing my butt before kissing my neck “now go get changed and put on a fashion show for me baby girl” needless to say Nolan was right we did have a good night in the bedroom.

Hope you Guys enjoyed this ☺️ i feel like this is definitely one of my better works!! If you enjoyed this plz like and follow me!!

Carlos Rodriguez for the ask!

Got A LOT of requests for my cutie, Carlos- so here you go everyone! :)

Favorite thing about them: His wit and sass. He literally had me in tears laughing throughout season 3 and there are so many times his sass just works in the scene. He’s an absolute diva and he knows it, but his bluntness with the characters keeps the drama moving along. I would give anything to have a girls night where Carlos and I wear face masks, eat chocolate, and discuss our friends relationships. You couldn’t tell me that wouldn’t be the best night ever.

Least favorite thing about them: His sass/diva persona is a double-edged sword. There are a lot of times he comes across harsh or selfish when he wants his way. Determination is a great thing, but putting your friends needs below it (like the co-choreographer debocal), will leave you lonely and sad. I know he has big dreams, but sometimes he puts his needs first at others expense and it can come across as egotistical. I think this is a root to a lot of the Seblos issues- Carlos only reads how he interprets situations as correct, rather than putting himself in the other person’s shoes.

Favorite line(s):

“Broadway?”

“Ah! I’ve been slapped!”

“It’s freaking Norway, Ricky”

It’s not a line, but his face in 1x08 when he’s rehearsing with EJ is ICONIC

“Ok but if it’s not about me, then who?”

“But does that mean you’re going to let the next girl go without even trying?”

“I’m gay and Mexican- this IS my inside voice!”

“You can’t just Zefron your way through auditions this time”

“I don’t think he’s slept or spoken in the past 24 hours… there’s a high chance he’s a Babadook”

“We’re doing the first read-through before I’ve had my third cup of coffee…. Oh, Ricky and Gina are 100% missing” (say it again louder Carlos this was so real of you)

“Because the key to any great reality show is the 3 B’s: bombshells, betrayals and BLEEP slaps” *gasps*

“I think I broke the children”

“Remember, Ricky, you have unresolved feelings for Gina”… “Gina, what’s your motivation?” Gina: I don’t want to get started “Yes, AND you’re angry at your boyfriend and using your ex-boyfriend to get under his skin. Basically, have fun torturing EJ” Gina: I can do that 😈

“Jilted ex suits you bro… oh no. I said ‘bro’ and now you’re gonna reveal something”

-bonus: “Sorry. I’m adjusting to being called ‘bro’”

“I didn’t come to make friends” “It cut me off! I said, ‘I didn’t come to make friends, I came to be a star!” Ricky: yeah, that’s not any better

OTP: Seblos ❤️

nOTP: EJ and Carlos

brOTP: Carlos and Ricky, Kourtney, and Miss Jenn… but if I had to pick one, probably Kourtney

Something I expect from them season 4 (if applicable): I think the situation of Carlos at camp is going to get confused by Seb of Carlos cheating again. I think Seb will think the relationship is over (“we were on a break!”… if you know what I’m quoting, you’re the best), so he will date someone else. This will parallel the r*ni fight in S1, which gets us the Seblos song.

Random Headcanon: even if this never happens in S4, it is my personal HC that as a thank you for s2, Carlos helps Ricky write a song for Gina.

Unpopular Opinion: I don’t even know if this actually is unpopular, but I could see it being that way so I am putting it here. His line to Gina about “look around, there’s not really a lot of me here” has bothered me since it happened. I think things like being from multiple minorities is really important to address in shows like this, so I’m glad it was brought up. However, I think his timing/tone for bringing it up was bad because it read more as “my problems are bigger than yours!” rather than, “hey I get what it feels like to be lonely and how important choreography makes me feel like I stand out/have purpose”. Instead Carlos seemed defensive and was like “I have problems too!” So this caused Gina to cower and let him lead the dance number. He didn’t even say thank you or try to encourage her to still help him, he just was like “ok great!” And seemed like he was happy he got his way. IDK I guess this goes back to my disliked trait for him, because Gina in that moment probably just needed a friend and somebody to show her she didn’t have to suffer alone, but instead Carlos flipped the situation back on him and it seemed guilt-trippy. I wish they would have brought up his struggles in a different context or had him use a different tone/dialogue in that scene that didn’t paint him like that, is all.

Song I associate with them: The King by Conan Gray, Hand on Mine Megan and Liz, and I know it’s from the show (I’m trying to avoid songs from the show for this ask) but since he doesn’t sing it I’ll use it. But I think of him every time I listen to Born to be Brave; his talk with Mozzarella Stick and him being lifted by the whole crowd is burned into my brain so I see it whenever I listen to that song

Mariah's Characters as Taylor Swift Songs.

I am still so sorry. @sweet-sweet-petunia

PETUNIA RHUBARB AS FEARLESS "I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now." i have to be so real. this ties into junior's which we will see shortly but. i HAD to pick fearless bc bro!!! all the crimes she's committed with an underage asparagus!! she really do be fearless!! ofc there's also the like very sweet and cute energy of this song which gives larry and petunia vibes. but mostly it's abt committing crimes with an underage asparagus. Other notable lyrics that give me Petunia vibes: "So baby drive slow, 'til we run out of road. "You pull me in and I'm a little more brave." "I'd dance in a storm in my best dress, fearless."

JERRY GOURD AS MIRRORBALL "I can change everything about me to fit in." So while this song is inherently about trying to change everything abt urself for the sake of an audience I think for Jerry it's a little different. he changes not bc he has to but bc he is simply vibing. he can be reflective of the people he's around and while he does want to fit in like we all do, he truly is just trying to be everyone's friend bc he literally has no reason not to be. Other notable lyrics that give me Jerry vibes: "I'll show you every version of yourself tonight." "When no one is around, my dear, you'll find me on my tallest tiptoes." "I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me"

ESTHER AS A PLACE IN THIS WORLD "I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world." This was another one that as soon as I knew what this project would be I was like oh this is SO ESTHER. she really is just trying very hard to figure her shit out and live her life and she knows that that's just how life be!! this song also gives me hot normal vibes and that mixed w esther's whole gay thing i'm like yeah this is the song for her Other notable lyrics that give me Esther vibes: "I don't know what I want, so don't ask me, 'cause I'm still trying to figure it out." "I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on." "And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah, but that's okay."

FRANCOIS BLUEBERRY AS THE LUCKY ONE "And the camera flashes make it look like a dream." a song that is abt the romanticism of hollywood and how it's actually not all that romantic and kind of sucks but ppl would still sell their soul for it. however, francois hasn't reached that second part yet so for me he is the romanticism of this song and show business. he moved far away to live his dream and GOOD FOR HIM. he could never do anything wrong ever. also this is one of my fav songs from one of my fav eras so obviously it had to go to the special little guy. Other notable lyrics that give me Francois vibes: "Another name goes up in lights, like diamonds in the sky." "Now it's big black cars and Riviera views." "It was a few years later, I showed up here." BOB THE TOMATO AS LAVENDER HAZE "I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say." LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR BOBBERRY ARE U KIDDINGGG obviously the song abt the color PURPLE was for them but also!!! so many of these lyrics are so bob coded to me in general?? and then when u add in the megan aspect?? it all came together so beautifully. also this is another one that goes hand in hand with another (bet u can not guess who) but genuinely i am so proud of myself for thinking of this one lmao (also it took everything in me to not make one of the lyrics "the only kind of tomato they see is a one night or a bride lmaaao) Other notable lyrics that give me Bob vibes: "And you don't really read into my melancholia." "I've been under scrutiny , you handle it beautifully, all this shit is new to me." "I just need this love spiral, get it off your chest, get it off my desk."

DAD ASPARAGUS AS CARDIGAN "And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed, you put me on and said I was your favorite." okay so obviously a decent amount of this is due to the whole mom asparagus trauma. dad has been through a lot and it SHOWS. but also he is SO the type to use romanticized ass lyrics like this to describe his feelings. also idk if dad wears cardigans?? but he seems the type that would so i associated that with him as well. anyways as we know this is perhaps my absolute fav taylor song and so he should be honored to have it. (also notable mention to the fact that i almost added "leaving like a father" as a lyric just bc) Other notable lyrics that give me Dad vibes: "I knew you, your heartbeat on the high line, once in 20 lifetimes." "Chasin' shadows in the grocery line." "And I knew you'd come back to me." ARCHIBALD ASPARAGUS AS MY TEARS RICOCHET "And if I'm dead to you why are you at the wake?" this one makes me feel CRAZY!!! ARE YOU FOR FUCKING REAAAAL archibald's whole thing w his brother and lovey and oh my GOD this song was immediately perfect. obviously i take a lot of influence from the whole lovey thing but truly like... this whole song describes that situation to me and i am frothing at the mouth about it. i wish i could put every single lyric but PLEASE listen to it bc it's perfect!!!! Other notable lyrics that give me Archibald vibes: "And I can go anywhere I want, anywhere I want, just not home." "You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same." "And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain, crossing out the good years."

GOSSIP GOURD AS MASTERMIND: "I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian 'cause I care." OBVIOUSLY gossip gourd is a mastermind!! they know so much!!! also disclosure i know who gossip gourd is (figured it out watching vt w mariah irl so u know) but that was part of my reason for picking this song specifically. it fits SO WELL but also to me with or without knowing who it is this song is perfect for gossip gourd imo!! also mariah is an absolute mastermind for picking who she picked lmfao. Other notable lyrics that give me Gossip Gourd vibes: "What if I told you none of it was accidental?" "I laid the groundwork and then just like clockwork, the dominoes cascaded in a line." "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, strategy sets the scene for the tale."

A Dream Come True - Ch 2

Ch. 2 - Getting Out of There - AO3

The four newly alive ghosts go adventuring into town and while three of them are eager to reconnect with family, one of them is being a little stubborn about it until fate forces their hand.

***

It didn’t take long for them to get themselves sorted out (including healing Flower and Steph’s wounds or at least patching them up) and they were off exploring well before Alberta would be set to wake up.  Sam had given them her phone in case anything happens, which was nice.

           Unfortunately, Trevor didn't realize how early it was - too eager to leave - and so they ended up driving around for a while until they stopped at the park in the middle of town.  It was still a little chilly, but it was nice to be able to feel the weather.

           Trevor used Sam's phone to play some music that Flower and Steph insisted that they dance to until he and Pete got tired and sat on the swings while the girls danced.

           "So, how come you were so insistent on leaving if we're just enjoying the park?"

           "I didn't realize how early it was and I just missed being away from the mansion, you know?” Trevor offers, despite that not being the reason.  He just wants to avoid Hetty, and it’s the perfect excuse.  “Aren't you tired of the mansion?"

           “Well, yeah, but I mean – you didn’t even want to wait for Alberta or Hetty to potentially wake up alive.  And you barely waited for Flower to get dressed before you rushed us all out here to sit on the swings at a park before sunrise.”

           “The sun’s up now,” Trevor shrugs.

           “Come on, buddy,” Pete says, giving him a look.  “Did Jay say something to rush you out?  I mean, I know you didn’t have the best relationship – and it’s not fair that he puts the blame on you for certain things…”

           “No, no – Jay was perfectly fine, actually,” Trevor states.  He’s actually surprised that Jay was so friendly this morning.  “He gave me clothes, fed me, we had perfectly pleasant conversations – it was fine.”

           “Then what are you running from?”

           “I’m not running from anything –” Trevor states before Sam’s phone rings.

           He had dropped a text to Jeremy to call as soon as he woke up to call Sam’s cell via facetime.  

           Trevor’s Jeremy appears on the screen.

           Trevor doesn’t bother finishing his thought as he accepts the call, “Hey Bro.”

           Jeremy’s eyes bug out the second he sees Trevor.  “Oy gevalt, T, is that really you?”

           “It’s really me – I don’t really have any details, but I’m kind of – suddenly alive, again.”

           Jeremy is utterly speechless.

           “Not what you thought you’d wake up to this morning, huh?”

           “Definitely not.”

           Flower and Steph come up from behind.  “Who’s this?”

           “My brother – my twin brother,” Trevor states.  He hadn’t come to his memorial because it’d been too hard, but when Sam mentioned the possibility of Trevor being there (when Esther mentioned feeling his presence), Trevor had taken the opportunity to reach out.  They’d been in contact, but they hadn’t actually seen each other.

           “Nice to meet you officially man, I’m Flower, this is Steph.”

           “And I’m Pete.”

           Jeremy shakes his head.  “So, ALL of you are alive?”

           “Yeah.  We have a theory on timing and stuff, and we don’t know how it happened, but I – I had to reach out as soon as I could,” Trevor states.  “I missed you, bud.”

           Jeremy grins.  “I missed you, too – and I’m coming to get you.  I’ll have to end my trip early, but I should be there tonight – there’s no way that I’m not jumping to see you as soon as I can – and you have got to call mom and dad – they won’t believe if I do it.”

           “I was a bit nervous about that since we kind of just buried me –”

           “They’ll be thrilled to have you back,” Jeremy states.  “We’ve all missed you so much, you have no idea.  Still, I want to be the one to bring you home – so wait for me at the mansion?”

           “Of course – although we’re currently at the park, I was hoping to buy some things and –”

           “No worries – nothing’s changed.  Help yourself to our shared account.  I imagine that you’ll probably want to help out your ghost family, so we’ll probably cash out some of the stocks, but that will have to wait until Monday.  Speaking of – what are you going to do about IDs and stuff?”

           “Thought I’d visit an old friend – figure his dirty little secret could be of some use, but that’ll wait until Monday, too.”

           “You’re going to blackmail Ari?” Pete asks, appalled.

           “Who’s Ari?” Steph asks as Trevor says, “Absolutely.”

           “Trevor, that’s illegal.”

           “So is throwing my body in the lake – besides, we’re suddenly alive after a number of years, we kind of need to do it so we can enjoy our lives for a second time,” Trevor states.  “Otherwise, they could lock us up or something.”

           “Why would they do such a thing?”

           “Because we’re suddenly alive again and we were ghosts and – I don’t know, they just could, alright?” Trevor asks, somewhat annoyed.  “And Ari’s going to help us be legit because that’s what he gets for throwing me in the lake.”

           Pete frowns, but Jeremy agrees.  

           “Sounds like a good plan – and you know how much I wanted to punish Ari after I found out, so this works well for that.”

           Trevor rolls his eyes.  Jeremy had always hated Ari because he figured that Ari was just using Trevor (and not actually caring about him).  To be honest, Trevor had an ulterior motive for using Ari to establish themselves – finally confronting him after discovering the truth.  

           “Anyway, thanks for the money support, I’ll see you tonight?”

           “Yes – I’ll be there as soon as I can and make sure you call mom and dad AND you better plan to go to the doctor once you’re legit – we aren’t losing you again.”

           Trevor rolls his eyes playfully.  “Yeah, J, that’s the top of my list.”

           “Don’t be sarcastic, T, you’re not allowed to die on us, again – you’re going to the doctor if I have to drag you there myself.”

           “I was being somewhat serious,” Trevor states.  “I promise.”

           “Good – see you later.”

           “See you!”

           Jeremy disappears from the screen, and Trevor says, “Do we want to try calling anyone else?  Or do we want to go shopping first now that places are opening up?”

           “Shopping!”

           “Shopping it is.”

***

           They spent the morning shopping and adventuring around town.  They discovered that while they had suddenly become alive, no other ghosts in town had – although they could see them.  It definitely made their adventure a lot more interesting.  

           When it became a more normal hour, they'd gone to Daisy's Coffee Shop because Flower had wanted to see if she could talk to Ira.  It was lucky that he ended up being there, and the reunion for the two them was surprisingly emotional.  

           Trevor always knew that Flower hid behind her ditzy personality to keep the other ghosts at a distance just like he did with his frat boy persona.  It was far more obvious when seeing her reunited with Ira because she obviously feels free to be emotional.

           In an effort to give them some privacy, the other three opted to sit a distance away and upon seeing Stephanie look on in envy, Trevor offered to look up her parents.  She'd been nervous, but with Trevor's encouragement worked through that, and was now on FaceTime with them.

           Trevor couldn't help smiling over at her and through the open door of Ira's office where Flower looks just as happy before returning to his paper and coffee.  It almost feels like a normal day.  Like everything was meant to be.

           Eventually though, Ira had to get back to work and Steph's parents had a few things they had to do to get her room ready for her to come home to, so they went back to exploring (although Ira and Steph's parents were invited to dinner that night).

           Of course as they explored, Pete kept trying to figure out why Trevor kept coming up with reasons that they shouldn’t return to the mansion just yet, even as he got texts from Jay (and Sam) that yes, Alberta, Hetty and now, Isaac are all alive, again.  Unfortunately for Nigel, he does not appear to have gotten the same luck as the rest of them.  

           To be honest, Trevor’s not too upset about that given Nigel’s behavior of late.  Then again, maybe he should be grateful to Nigel for helping him realize that he was an embarrassment to Hetty and a toy to mess with.  

           Still, knowing that Hetty’s alive did not make him want to return to the mansion, but it was getting rather hard to distract the others from returning – well, Pete.

           “Come on, why won’t you tell me what’s going on,” Pete says, as he follows Trevor outside the store where Steph and Flower are trying to find some clothes that they prefer.  

           “There’s nothing going on, Pete,” Trevor states, rubbing his thumb in his hand as he lies.  An old habit that he never bothered to break.

           Pete gives him a look.  “We’ve been stuck together for twenty-two years in the mansion – you think I don’t know by now when something’s bothering you?”

           “It’s nothing.”

           “I thought we were friends.”

           “We are friends,” Trevor insists.  “It’s not exactly abnormal for me to –”

           “Except it is – you shouldn’t have wanted to leave so soon.  It doesn’t make sense – not with how close you’ve become with the other ghosts,” Pete states.  “Alberta was practically like a mother to you, and you didn’t want to wait for her?  Isaac has become close to you after the frat thing, and you didn’t want to show him the world as it is now?  It’s not like you to not face things head-on.  Something is going on here.”

           Trevor doesn’t bother to answer as he plays a game on Sam’s phone.  Pete’s absolutely right.  He has gotten closer to all of the ghosts over the years, but especially in the last few months.  He’d always been especially close to Alberta since she saw something in him that she seemed to admire.  Maybe it was his fun-loving attitude or his reckless abandon on life, but Pete was right, Alberta often acted like a mother to him and leaving without her this morning had been difficult, but he had wanted to avoid Hetty.  

           That was a bit more important to him now, and besides, he’ll have to go back eventually.  

           “Is this about the oh-so-great Lady of the House?” Pete questions.

           Trevor’s head snaps up.  “What – what are you talking about?”

           “It is!” Pete states.  “Trevor, whatever is going on with you and Hetty, you can’t run from it.”

           “You don’t know what you’re talking about, okay?” Trevor states.  “There’s nothing going on between Hetty and me, but you know what – you’re right.  I am avoiding the mansion, but you know what?  That’s normal – you’ve been stuck in that house for thirty-eight years, why wouldn’t you want to get out and explore?  Why would you want to just wait around and not leave the second you can?  I mean, really, Pete, I get it – you can finally talk to Jay because you’re not a ghost anymore, and maybe you and Alberta can have a thing now, although, you deserve someone who likes you for who you are – but do you really not understand my need to escape?  I mean, hell, don’t you want to go see your daughter – and have her see you?  Why wasn’t that the first thing you wanted to do after getting that arrow out of your neck?  I mean, I didn’t hesitate to contact my parents and brother.”

           “That’s different!”

           “How?”

           “Because you’ve been in direct contact with them since they found your body a few weeks back since you can use your power to write to them – I’ve been gone for thirty-eight years, and they have no idea I was there when they came by the mansion!”

           “So – I still don’t see the issue, you have another chance –”

           “You don’t get it!”

           “Then explain it me!”

           “What if this isn’t permanent?  What if it’s just one day or one month or one year or whatever – what if when they finally get used to me being alive again that I suddenly die again, I don’t want to put them through that!”

           “Isn’t some more time better than nothing?  Don’t you think you’d regret it if you don’t?” Trevor counters.  “You’ve spent thirty-eight years thinking about all of things you’ve missed out on - wishing that things had been different, living your afterlife with regrets and yet, here are you – denying yourself what you’ve been wanting for years, why?”

           Before Pete can respond, a new voice enters the conversation: “Pete?”

           They both turn to their left and spy Carol, Jerry, and Laura who appear to be walking out of the restaurant next door – although they look to be frozen in the doorway – how long had they been there?  

It’s Jerry that spoke.  Despite the fact that Jerry was a cheater and had been cheating with Carol for ages before Pete died, the man still did seem to genuinely care for Pete.  At least more than Ari had cared for Trevor despite the thing they had going on.

           “Uh – yeah…” Pete says, hesitantly.  He looks like a deer caught in headlights.  Which is fair since he’d just explained that he is hesitant about reaching out to his family.

           It’s incredibly awkward since Pete looks exactly the same as when he died, and they have no idea how much they overheard of their discussion.

           Deciding to break the ice, Trevor reaches out his hand, “Hi, I’m Trevor.”

           Jerry’s the first to shake his offered hand before Carol and Laura follow suit.  It’s still quiet, so Trevor says, “I know it’s going to sound weird, but Pete and I were ghosts at the B&B where he – we – died.  Obviously before it was a B&B.  We’re not really sure what happened this morning, but suddenly, we’re alive again –”

           He’s cut off by Laura pushing passed him to hug Pete.  “I can’t believe it’s really you.”

           “It’s really me, Pumpkin,” Pete says, hugging her tightly and patting her back.  “I’m sorry that I couldn’t let you know I was there – Sam pretty much adopted a ‘help the ghosts but don’t tell’ policy since who would believe her, right?  It’s too weird.  So…”

           “That explains so much.  About the manual, about asking to be a part of the family newsletter, about some of the things she said that day,” Carol trails off.  “If you were there, then…”

           Pete nods, glancing between Carol and Jerry then at Laura, who evidently knows.  “Yeah, yeah, I heard and no, I had no idea.”

           “I’m so sorry – I really am…”

           “I believe you.  It was just hard to hear,” Pete says, cutting her off.  “And uh, there’s obviously a lot to deal with now – we don’t know what happened or why, but –”

           “We heard a little bit of your – uh – argument,” Laura says.  “For the record, I agree with Trevor.  Even if it’s just an hour or a day or whatever – I would rather have that than nothing.”

           “Trev’s right about something – that’s so weird,” Flower says, skipping out of the store with Stephanie in tow.  “Hey, they look familiar.”

           Her second sentence sounded more like something she was saying to her fellow ghosts, as if forgetting that they weren’t invisible anymore.  This thought was aided by Flower bursting out about how Jerry had taken care of Carol’s sexual needs that Pete hadn’t been able to satisfy and wondering out loud what it was and if Pete had thanked him for taking it off his plate.  

           Pete’s eyes widen and he looks to Trevor for help as his family looks appalled.    

           “Oy vey,” Trevor says, giving himself a face palm.  “Flower, can I talk to you for a second?  Over there.”

           Flower opens her mouth to probably refuse him, but a look from Pete leads her to following Trevor a distance away.  

           “Flower, I’m going to preface this by saying – you know I love you – but you can’t just say things like that anymore,” Trevor states when he turns back to her a distance away from the others.  

           “Why not?” Flower asks, looking genuinely confused.

           “Because you shouldn’t be saying things like that in the first place.”

           “But – but no one ever said anything before,” Flower says, looking genuinely concerned.

           Trevor feels bad, but Flower couldn’t just go out into the world and just say whatever, she’ll end up saying the wrong thing to somebody and get into trouble.  

           “We never said anything because we love you and we’re used to you – you’re Flower, it’s just part of who you are, but now – we’re alive again – and I don’t want you to say something to the wrong person and get hurt.”

           Flower frowns.  “Maybe being alive again isn’t so great.”

           He offers her a hand on her shoulder, “It’ll just take time, but I just want you to be aware of a potential… issue.”

           Flower nods as she gives him a hug.  “Thanks – I should go apologize.”

           “Yeah, I would.”

           They return to the group, where Flower apologizes and explains that her mind is still a little messed up from the drugs.

           “That’s okay, I’m sure it’s all an adjustment,” Carol offers.  “But we shouldn’t be discussing this on the sidewalk.”

           “Exactly,” Trevor states.  “We kind of forgot that other people can hear us, but I texted Jay and he said that you all can come for dinner, if you’d like?”

           Laura lights up.  “We’d be delighted.”

           “Great.”

[dreamwritesimagines]

Dream my love!!! I'm back again to say hi! I hope you're doing well darling!

Now... Onto the chapters! Starting with Chapter 6.

"you weren't jealous" Clover stop lying to yourself and everyone else around you. Honey, you ate in ✨Denial✨ If anything this girl is seething with jealousy. (*Cough* I cant wait to see Kitty's reaction when they announce their wedding *cough* *cough*)

I love her aunt and uncle, like they're just so wholesome and sweet I love them so much.

TEDDY CALLING LOTTIE BEAUTIFUL oh my good lord this child is going to kill me he's so fluffing cute!!! And him bowing to her???? This boy is gonna be a heartbreaker for sure!

Also I love Lottie and Clover's friendship its just this:

I also love how Clover's passion is gardening, especially since that's seen as more of a servants job but she wants to do it herself, just furthering her black sheep stereotype.

Also if we're going off the Lottie and Anthony, technically Lottie, Clover, and Daphne will all be sisters. Just the three of them together would be so fun, I feel like when they're older they'll have a bond much like lady Danbury and Violet.

The greenhouse... I'm starting to see a pattern here dream.., Haha, all the bridgerton boys are just being mighty scandalous in a greenhouse

"older husbands move slower" Oh God clover your father was awful I can just tell. The more and more that's revealed about clover makes me think. A lot of the time people's love styles or how they view it is how they saw it growing up. It makes sense why Clover has such a twisted view of love or marriage for that fact. This is why I'm even more grateful little Teddy is growing up with their aunt and uncle and not their parents.

✨protective Benedict!!!✨My heart can't take this, but him just getting so worked up about even the thought of someone hitting clover.

Alright... Chapter 7 lets go!

The fainting scare. I'm sure this was just terrifying to Benedict due to how his father ya know died in a garden.... Her aunt being so worried about her shows how much she cares for her. Also, do her aunt and uncle know how bad their home lives were?

Hold on this is so off the wall but Hades, you know how in Enamored, one of the ball themes was legends? All I can see is Clover being Persephone the dread queen and Benedict being Hades.

haha Benedict having to stay in the carriage while Daph and Lottie visited, poor man probably looked like a kicked puppy sitting there.

him painting her favorite flower!!! Dream my heart!!!

the rooftop scene was so cute yet heart-wrenching at the same time. No matter how much she wants happiness or love shes gonna deny it for herself becuse she dosent think love is worth it. Where is chérie when we need her??

Okay onto chapter 8 the big boy

Teddy and Clover baking is so sweet, and Teddy being scared that shes going to abandon him when she gets married, like sweet boy. Bro their parents messed them up BAD. I think I have the let's beat up Clover's parents petition all done so all we need is people.

Them both being frozen in time when they see each other in the ballroom is just so precious. then their dance is just so amazingly written. I love how benedict says that she torments him, its such beautiful wording.

Ah the Gazebo... oop- that got a little ✨spicy✨ Just the tension build up then that. ugh dream you're amazing.

"and then someone gasped"

oh shit

oh my lord, Benedict standing in front of clover. Also, I'm just gonna slap lady fetherington. Like girl I know you're having some marital troubles but atop being a cackling hen.

"Were going to be married"

DREAM THE CLIFHANGER!!! HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO WAIT A WEEK?????

Overall this story is AMAZING I'm so exited to see where you take it!! sending love! Mwah!

Darliiiiing, hiii! ❤️❤️❤️

Omg I'm so exciteeeed! 😍🥰❤️

I feel like Clover will be in denial for her feelings for a long time, especially after this last chapter 😏And Kitty will be so furious when she hears, because she thought she was the one who was going to marry Benedict after their dance😈

Her aunt and uncle love her and Teddy so much! ❤️

Aww Teddy is so well behaved and I'm sure their uncle taught him to be a gentleman and to respect ladies even at that age, so he will be bowing to them and pulling their chairs and such😂 Even if the chair is taller than him😂

LOLLL THAT'S DEFINITELY LOTTIE AND CLOVER'S FRIENDSHIP😂

Yesss exactly! Like, ladies loved flowers but they didn't exactly....spent that much time in gardens to grow them and plant them and such ❤️ Clover on the other hand could just spent her whole day in the garden and not even notice the time passing ❤️

Aw they will be sisters and they will be very close with each other! ❤️🥰

Can you tell I love greenhouse settings yet? 😈😂

A lot of the time people's love styles or how they view it is how they saw it growing up. It makes sense why Clover has such a twisted view of love or marriage for that fact. THIS! THIS IS SO TRUE! ❤️ She grew up in a really bad home so she is convinced that it's like that most of the time😱

Benedict saw red even at the thought of someone hitting Clover yessss ❤️

I think he was very worried about her when he heard about her fainting ❤️ Her aunt and uncle have an idea about how bad it was back then, but they don't know the details because Clover refuses to talk about it 💔

Clover as Persephone, I CAN TOTALLY SEE THAT😍❤️

He will paint lots of stuff for her🥰

Where is chérie when we need her?? Omg we definitely need her here 😂 Like, she would have worked her matchmaking magic on them nonstop until they got together 😂❤️

Oh their parents messed them up so so badly, and it'll come up a lot in the following chapters ❤️ Benedict doesn't even know the half of it yet, but he will learn ❤️
