#And obviously Kelly was great as well

I JUST finished watching a Tale of two Topas and I have things to say.
It's been long since I had to actually cry on any show episode or a movie, and I cried three times in this episode alone.
Klyden is good to go. (I know he's gonna come back) Topa does not need any of his internalised toxicity and I'm so glad to see how much Bortus loves and supports his daughter.
BORTUS LOVES HER SO MUCH I CAN'T ANYMORE
He barely ever gets big emotional reactions, but then he's sitting with Grayson and starts crying because he wants to help and make his child happy but doesn't know how. You have no idea how important that scene was to me. All this parental love stored in him. (Also that he gave her the password to let her find out.)
I also love the Orville for actually picking up old Storylines again (also everyone deciding to embarrass Kelly for becoming a god again and again). And how this was build up with the recurring issues between Bortus and Klyden. And how it was revealed that Bortus was already keeping Locars heterosexuality a secret for years which was against Moclus principals.
AND OF COURSE I'M WAITING FOR MORE TOPA.
Not to forget Bortus concert. Truly an amazing singer. So happy that he helped his daughter by throwing a concert.
#the orville#the orville new horizons#bortus#Topa#A tale of two Topas#kelly grayson#Love how the whole crew showed up to the Concert#OUR COMMANDER IS SINGING WE GOTTA GO#And obviously Kelly was great as well#Topa was like: You're my role model now#And the sparks between Isaac and Dr. Finn lighting up again

and the team’s coach, who happens to have been a massive fan, and also needs a co-coach
they start to become friends, and when the latter reveals her insecurities about dating and relationships, the other offers to practice dating her so she can figure things out. but of course they start to fall for each other..
lesbian MC, questioning demisexual MC

The Prophecy (SMAU ft. Lando Norris) Part II
pairing: lando norris x singer!reader (y/n)
summary: what happens after the break-up that noone saw coming? as Y/N L/N gears up to release her next album, each song reveals a little bit of the past, present and future of her relationship with Lando Norris. Inspired by a curated playlist built around "The Prophecy".
note: this is RPF and is obviously in no way, shape, or form reflective of real persons.
genre: social media au, angst, exes to lovers, happy ending
part i

September, 2026
[Excerpt from Kelly Clarkson interview with Y/N]
“We’re so excited to have y/n l/n with us today, I can’t get your latest song out of my head. It’s really such a great revival of the sultry pop ballads,” Kelly says joyously, and y/n can’t help but smile.
“Thank you! That means a lot coming from you – I grew up watching you on American Idol, I can’t believe I’m even sitting across from you now.”
“Oh my god, stop! You’re gonna make me feel real old. Congratulations again on your Grammy for your sophomore album, All I Ever Needed. How did it feel going into your new project with that in the back of your mind?”
Y/N shuffles uncomfortably on the couch. “Hmm thank you. I – well, it was really different. The songs I wrote on there were coming from this feeling of bliss which was fading fast by the time the Grammy’s rolled around. I had to figure out what kind of artist I am if I’m not in love, or writing about happiness. It felt embarrassing. I don’t like being vulnerable, but I love sharing love. So it was hard for me, not gonna lie. But I’m happy that we got there in the end.”
“Wow, well I was able to listen to a few other songs on this record. I gotta say, I think it’s by far your best record yet. And did you write on all of the songs this time around again?”
Y/N nods her head, a small smile creeping back up on her face. “Yeah, I did. It turns out that writing about sad things can be really cathartic. But I really want people to know that it doesn’t mean this isn’t an album about love. At the end of the day, each of these songs are love letters to every single moment or person that made me feel something – for better or worse.”
early October, 2026
[Transcription of Capital FM segment with Y/N]
“We’ve got Y/N L/N with us here on Capital FM, and we’re about to play a quick round of Never Have I Ever! Are you ready?”
Y/N smiles, holding a paddle with “I Have” and “I Have Never”. “Sure, as ready as I’ll ever be.”
“Great! Now first one: Never have I ever… regifted a gift someone bought me.”
“Ooooh, not a gift someone bought me. But things I have been sent or given in goodie bags I’ve definitely regifted,” Y/N says, and raises the “I Have Never” paddle.
“That’s alright! I think that’s not too bad. In fact, I’d volunteer to get something regifted from you,” the host laughs. “I usually donate it, but next time I’ll keep you in mind!”
“Perfect. Next one: Never have I ever slid into someone’s DMs”
Y/N rolls her eyes and raises the “I Have” paddle. “Who hasn’t? If people say they haven’t, they’re just lying to you.”
“Who’s the most famous person who’s ever been in your DMs?” The host asks, and Y/N laughs. “Hmm Taylor Swift, maybe?”
“You’re good friends, aren’t you?” Y/N nods. “Yeah, I actually wrote ‘how did it end?’ during a studio session with her.”
“Hmm that brings me to the next question – never have I ever written a song about an ex.”
Again, Y/N raises the “I Have” paddle, but then twists it so it’s halfway. “I think sometimes, no scratch that, I think almost always songs work way better when they’re open for interpretation. Isn’t it nice how everyone can take something else from it, that way?”
“Have you ever gotten back together with an ex?” The host asks, and Y/N makes a ‘tsk’ noise. “Never! First rule in the book, or so my friends tell me all the time.”
"Even when the heart wants what it wants?"
"Even then."
mid October, 2026
[Excerpt from Call Her Daddy episode with Y/N]
“I think in many ways this album is the most naked I’ve ever felt in my emotions. But maybe that’s actually a good thing,” Y/N grins.
“They do say that sex sells,” Alex (Cooper) responds, and Y/N chuckles. “You’ll find hardly any of that on this album.”
“That’s not entirely true, there’s a song on there with some explicit lyrics,” she adds.
“Undrunk? Funnily enough, that one was probably one of the easier ones to write because it actually felt the furthest removed from myself? It’s inspired by, but not based on my own experiences. I’d say it’s my unlived life,” Y/N tries to explain.
“Talk to me about that. People are always quite eager to pinpoint all experiences of a celebrity. They know who you’ve dated, look for clues and dissect every lyric. How do you decide what to share and what not to share?”
“I think it’s sort of why I wanted to share ‘how did it end?’. Even the title track is me addressing the fact that everyone feels entitled to determine my love story. Including me, I think everyone tries to engineer or hack happiness at one point in their life. But it doesn’t work like that. And at the same time, it’s important for me to try and have some semblance of control over my own narrative, my feelings, my sense of self. And that also goes for the people whose presence in my life inspired me to write these songs. For better or worse, I’m grateful for it.”
Alex smirks. “Look, we can’t avoid the topic here. We all know that one of those people is Formula One driver Lando Norris. He’s also got a lot of very dedicated fans, who’ve been clamoring under every post of yours to leave him alone ever since you started dating. How did, and do you deal with that? It would have been easy to erase him from your social media, once the relationship ended, but you chose not to do that. Was that a conscious decision on your end, or something you ever discussed?”
Y/N takes a sip of water, and purses her lips. “I kinda feel like it’s just not really my place to expand on that – it’s between Lando and his fans. Like, it actually has nothing to do with me, I feel. If people are surprised I didn’t delete like three photos, it’s just because I like them – it’s not that deep. I can still cherish good moments, even when they’re in the past. I’m not embarrassed or ashamed of the fact that my ex was part of my life. But it’s not for me to comment on it beyond that. He’s well within his rights to want to delete them, and he doesn’t need to explain to anyone – not to me, not to his fans, anyone why he did it.”
“But it’s more than that. It does seem to imply he doesn’t like the association. And yet you referenced him in the video for “Jaded”. It’s caused some controversy,” she prods a little more.
Y/N snorts. “I was just paying homage to my co-writer, and her iconic 7 Things video. But it’s also partly me taking that ownership. A video is one of the few spaces where you can set the scene. If I wanted to expand on it, I’d have done it through art. People will be mad either way, and the props don’t add anything you can’t already infer from the lyrics.”
“Has he listened to it?”
“Have you?” Y/N counters. Alex smiles, then moves on.
end of October, 2026
[The Independent excerpt]
Y/N L/N reveals tracklist to her third album as anticipation grows!
An obvious contender for the BRITs, is what the first reviews are saying about L/N's latest record “Jaded”. The LP will arrive in just two weeks, but up until today we did not know the exact runtime of the highly anticipated album. After posting to her Instagram, Y/N L/N revealed that the regular version of The Prophecy will count 12 tracks, with the deluxe edition raising that to a comfortable 16. Fans will surely be delighted to know that they can purchase various versions, all contributing to what is looking to be a very easy chart victory.
Talking to Jimmy Fallon earlier this week, L/N stated that she hopes her fans will listen to the album in its running order. “I know it’s really tempting to skip straight to your favourite, but I spent ages ruminating over how to tell my story in the best way – so I hope that translates.”
So far, all official singles of “The Prophecy” have charted both in the Official Top 20 as well as the Billboard Top 40, with The Heart Want What It Wants peaking on top, and Jaded just outside the top 10 at #11.
♥・*:.。 。.:*・゚♡・*:.。 。.:*・゚♥ I was soooooo happily surprised by the response to the previous part that I hurried up to post this :) Any comments, likes, reblogs, asks are super appreciated. ♥ Part III will follow shortly, it'll be four parts in total. for those interested, official tracklist songs
how did it end? - Taylor Swift / The Heart Wants What It Wants - Selena Gomez / Jaded - Miley Cyrus / Lie to Girls - Sabrina Carpenter / Breakeven - The Script / The Prophecy - Taylor Swift / Stay - Gracie Abrams / Science + Faith - The Script / Moral of the Story ft. Niall Horan - Ashe / Undrunk - Fletcher / Vertigo - Griff / No More Sad Songs - Little Mix / Paper Hearts - Tori Kelly / Into You - Julia Michaels / Supercut - Lorde / Genesis - Dua Lipa

lost and found II Georgia Stanway x Reader
masterlist I word count: 2044
a/n: based off this request.
“G will love your surprise visit to the England camp.”, Keira Walsh exclaimed happily. Surprised Lucy Bronze lifted an eyebrow:” Wait a second, you really didn’t tell her about it.”
Amused by the reactions of your Barcelona teammates you answered:” Not a word, otherwise it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore, right Lucia?”
“Okay, smartass. Just wanted to know if you dropped some hints.”, the defender replied. You smiled at her in amusement: “No lo hice.”
After you realized she didn’t understand what you were saying to her, you added in a teasingly tone: “I see Ona has been lacking in her Spanish lessons with you.”
“Shut up”, the older woman groaned. Clearing her throat Keira drew back the attention to her:” Girls be quiet the other lionesses are arriving.”
For a moment you three stopped talking and were closing your eyes enjoying the warmth of the Sun which shone down on Marbella.
You were filled with excitement as the arrival of the rest of the English players meant that you were one step closer of seeing your girlfriend which you hadn’t for quite some time due to both of your busy schedules.
“Hi Kei, missed ya.”, Georgia Stanway chirmed while hugging one of her closest friends. Equally delighted Keira greeted the Bayern Munich player:” Hi G.” “How are you?”, the younger midfielder asked.
Beaming the Barcelona footballer told her:” Great, how are you.” Proudly Georgia nodded: “I’m alright, we’re still leading in the Frauen Bundesliga-“, when your girlfriend paused taking in your sight. She gasped out loud: ”Oh my god!”
“Oh, look at G, she’s getting all flustered!”, Chloe Kelly grinned. Giggling Alessia Russo observed: ”She’s turning all red.” “Like a little tomato.”, Ella Toone remarked laughing.
You tried to ignore their remarks and went straight to your girlfriend pulling her into a hug:”Hello, mi amor.” “What are you doing here?”, Georgia wanted to know.
A crooked smile was on your lips:” I wanted to surprise you.” “Well, you just did that.”, the midfielder muttered, while her arms were still embracing you, as she wasn’t ready to let you go yet.
In awe Alex Greenwood hummed:” Just look at Georgia. She obviously missed her little Spanish girlfriend.” “Adorable.”, Lucy playfully rolled her eyes.
The red cheeks on your girlfriend intensified because of her teammates comments so you suggested in a low voice:” Want to go somewhere more private, Georgia?”
“Yes, follow me.”, she sighed relived. Georgia really loved the English player, but she couldn’t let the chance slip away to have a quiet moment between only the two of you.
Winking Keira shouted after you both:” See you later, lovebirds.”
“Ugh, Kei.”, Georgia groaned, her cheeks turning pink. You chuckled and put a hand on your girlfriends back; “Ignore her.” “I always do.”, she smiled back at you. “Good.”
“Let‘s go.”, she continued to lead you away from her teammates. You patiently followed; “Please.” Georgia opened the door to her hotel room and let you walk in first.
You took in the plain but chic room. A large, soft looking bed occupied most of the space. With a long sigh, you let yourself fall onto it and kicked off your shoes. Your girlfriend climbed next to you on the bed, watching you attentively.
“You‘re probably asking yourself why I‘m not back with the spanish team…”, you said into the silence. Georgias eyes widened, giving away that you were right with your assumption. “I am.”, she admitted.
You nodded wearily and explained; “The changes are not enough. The former co-coach is now our head coach… Mapi and the others including me want them to do better.” “Oh.”
“Yeah.”, you replied, a silent understanding between the two of you. Your girlfriend shook her head in confusion; “I really thought things would get better after they dropped Vilda.” “Me too.”, you agreed cooly.
Carefully, Georgia pushed the hair out of your face; “I‘m sorry.” “Not your fault, Gee.” “Still. I know you‘d want to play for your country.” You shrugged casually; “It is what it is.”
Something on your girlfriends upper arm caught your attention, letting you forget the previous topic; “Wait, is this a new tattoo?” “Uhm…” “Let me take a look at it!” You grabbed her wrist and turned her arm towards you. Sighing, the midfielder gave in; “Fine.”
“Wait, is this…? Georgia, you’re insane!”, you exclaimed, staring at your own initial under your girlfriends skin. She winked at you; “Or am I a genius?”
“Guess your lionesses teammates will judge about it later.”, you laughed, still in slight disbelief. “I‘m okay with that.” “Yes, you can handle them.” “I can.”, she assured you with a grin.
Out of words for how grateful you were to have Georgia in your life, you leaned forward and kissed her passionately. She returned the kiss impatiently.
“Jesus! Glad I didn‘t come later! Time for dinner, you two.”, Keiras voice exclaimed. You drove apart immediately, staring at the midfielder who leaned in the doorframe and grimaced.
“Kei!”, Georgia shrieked. You threw a pillow in her general direction; “Get out!” She moved out of the way, the pillow hitting the wall next to her; “Come on, girls.”
After another glare from her teammate, she finally closed the door again. Georgia laughed incrediously; “Why is she like that?”
“She loves to catch us off guard I just know it!”, you fondly rolled your eyes. “I guess we have to go know.”, your girlfriend announced, still out of breath from kissing and laughing while getting up from the bed.
With a loud sigh you got up with her:” Yeah, we do.” “Come on then.”, with a cheeky grin your girlfriend took your hand pulling you into the direction of the place where her teammates were having dinner. Smiling you whispered into her ear:” I’ll follow you.”
Once you sat down with the rest of the lionesses Lucy curiously looked at the Bayern Munich player:”Gee, did you told y/n the story of your football boots, already?” “Football boots?”, you repeated puzzled.
Slightly embarrassed Georgia explained:” I had them in my big suitcase which got lost.” “Your suitcase got lost?!”, you asked her concerned.
Enjoying the sheepishness in the voice of her best friend Keira added:” And she was too scared to tell that Sarina, so..” “So?”, you urged her to continue to speak about it.
Your girlfriend stared annoyed at the Barcelona midfielder:” It’s fine now. I got my stuff back.” “That’s good.”, you told her relieved.
Back to her confident self Georgia said: “I trained with shoes from a U23 player for the first two days.” “You did? Nice of the fellow baller.”, amused you lifted up an eyebrow.
Giggling she admitted: “She was the only one with the same size.” “Lucky girl.”, you hummed, your lips only millimetres away from brushing against eachother.
Clearing her throat Keira interrupted the kiss before it could have happened, begging:” We’re eating now, please don’t kiss again.” “Don’t be a baby, Kei.”, Georgia told the only slightly older woman, sticking her tongue out into her direction.
You couldn’t help but to remind your teammate from Barcelona:” Laura and you are so much worse and don’t even get me started on Lucy and Ona.” “What do I have to do with that now? I don’t care if you make out here or not?”, the defender protested.
Happily, Georgia responded:” Thanks for understanding this Lucy. Munich and Barcelona are just so far away.” “True.”, you mumbled biting your lips to hold back all the emotions coming to the surface you were feeling because of your long-distance relationship.
Frustrated Keira pointed out: “So are Barcelona and Rome.” “No, the distance between the two cities is less.”, your girlfriend countered. Pouting her friend defended herself: “It’s still shitty for a relationship.” “It’s.”, Georgia admitted.
Helplessly Lucy groaned hiding the face in her hands: “Can you stop fighting about who has the worst long-distance relationship? I’m trying to eat.” “Sorry, Lucia.”, you apologized with a crooked smile. The older woman looked up to you:”I hope you’re.”
“Love, want to share a dessert?”, Georgia chirmed. Delighted by her question you swiftly replied: “Sure.” “Perfect.”, she beamed at you.
“Disgustingly cute.”, Keira reacted with gagging noises in the background. Immediately Lucy was calling her out:” Keira!” “What? It’s true.”, she protested.
You were ignoring the two as you and your girlfriend were too focused on the dessert in front of you. With closed eyes you confirmed:” It’s delicious.” “Agreed.”, Georgia said cheerfully.
Keira watched you attentively; “Will you watch the game against Austria?“ “Of course. Can’t miss out on it.“, you replied around a mouthful of your dessert. Georgia winked at you; “You shouldn’t.“ “I’ll wear your jersey.“, you promised your girlfriend with a laugh.
She raised her eyebrows; “You’ll?“ You grinned back at her; “Yes. Why not? Can’t go with my Spanish one.“ “No, better not. I don’t think the girls would like to see that.“, Georgia shook her head. With a wink, you gave your girlfriend a sympathetic look; “Brings back sad times. I can’t do that.“
“Please don’t.“ “I won’t.“, you promised, amused. “Thanks. I’m sure we can get you a shirt.“, the midfielder thought out loud. “Thank you.“ Georgia quickly kissed you on the cheek; “You’re welcome.“
Englands friendly against Austria was about to start when a familar voice called your name.
“Stanway looks good on you.“, Leah Williamson smirked as she took the seat next to you. “Lee, hi.“, you greeted her, a big smile on your face. “Hi.“ You pointed down towards the pitch; “Gee’s a captain tonight.“
“Happy that she gets to be captain for a bit too.“, Leah replied, clearly torn between being excited for her friend and her own frustration of missing out on the camp.
Gently, you put a hand on the defenders arm; “She was so excited to play with you again.“ “Me too, trust me. But I’ll be back for the next camp. I can’t wait to wear that jersey again.“, she said, a defiant sparkle in her eyes.
“And then it’s the three best friends and Lucy again.“ Leahs mood seemed to get better at the thought; “Lucy will hate that.“ “Yes, but she secretly loves it.“, you joined her laugh. “I’m sure she does.“
When the match ended with a clear win for England, you impatiently looked at the Arsenal defender; “Want to say hi to the girls?“ “Sure.“, Leah agreed and followed you.
Georgia was flanked by her Austrian Bayern Munich teammates Sarah Zadrazil and Katharina Naschenweng when you entered the pitch.
“Your girlfriend is here too, Georgia?“, Sarah asked. With a proud nod, Georgia replied; “She’s.“ “Hello, Kathi and Sarah.“, you smiled as you approached the trio.
“Hi y/n.“, they said in unison. “Great to see you two again. Did G tell you about her new tattoo yet?“ Georgias cheeks turned pink while Kathi nodded with a grin; “Yes, she did.“
“What is it?“, Lucy joined the group, bumping her shoulder against yours. “Girls, stop it. You weren’t that excited for my other tattoos.“, your girlfriend laughed, a bit of defensiveness in her voice.
Ella Toone grabbed her arm, turning it so the new tattoo was visible. Excitedly she yelled; “Georgia Marie Stanway, the woman that you are!“
“What? Let me see!“, Alessia Russo pushed her best friend aside to have a look as well. Georgias face turned even more red; “It’s just the first letter of her name.“
“That’s so romantic.“, Alessia cooed. Keira rolled her eyes; “No, it’s stupid.“ “Shut up, Kei!“, you and your girlfriend called at the same time.
Leah pulled your Barcelona teammate in a hug; “Come here, Kei.“ “G, Lucy and y/n need to join too.“, she demanded, her cheek against Leahs shoulder.
Sighing, you wrapped your arms around the two of them; “Come here, you big baby.“ Georgia immediately followed suit and joined the group hug. “
Ugh, not a hug.“, Lucy grimaced disgusted. Leah gave her an unimpressed look; “Don’t be a bitch, Lucy.“
“It’s okay, that’s just how she is.“, your girlfriend laughed, grabbing Lucys arm and pulling her into the direction of the growing group of football players.
Reluctantly, she finally gave in. You smiled to yourself. There was no place you would rather be right now.

Ruin it
Pairing: Max Verstappen x journalist!reader
Warnings: SMUT, cuss words, cheating and probably other things.
Summary: You and max were always teasing each other and over the years it turned into a huge sexual tension, until the fights of all the years and the accumulated lust turned into one long night of great sex.
Next chapter
Max Verstappen.
We certainly had our moments.
Max and I used to race in go-karts together with Charles, Pierre, Alex and a few other drivers from the current grid and he hated the fact that I always beat him.
Which means he hated me too.
Over the years our fights became teasing and a huge sexual tension that we both realized but pretended we didn't since Max was with Kelly and for obvious reasons she didn't like me either.
Over time I realized that karting was just a hobby that I enjoyed so I didn't invest in a racing career and went into journalism becoming a formula 1 reporter.
We were in Vegas for the first Grand Prix in the city and I was very excited, especially as today it could be decided between Max and Charles who would be the world champion.
The cars were lined up in their positions and when the red lights went out the chaos started, at the first lap we lost George, Magnussen, Piastri and Ocon.
On lap 34 Charles takes Max's position taking first place and me as a reporter who can't have favorites follow me too much not to celebrate in front of everyone.
Charles was my friend and I really wanted him to win but I think I wanted Max to lose much more.
But unfortunately in the end Max passed Charles and became 3 times world champion.
The podium was fast, the champagne looked great and now I was here doing the interviews with the drivers and finally my arch enemy appears.
"Well Max we can say it was a great day for you today."
"Absolutely, we were flying."
"How does it feel to have become Formula 1 world champion for the third time?"
"I'm very happy, this result means that all the hard work team and I have put in over the year has not been in vain and now I'm looking forward to having a drink and celebrating."
"That's great, hope you have an amazing night and we see you next year." He smiles and waves leaving."Well guys that was 3 time world champion Max Verstappen, I'm
Y/n y/l/n and we end our 2023 season, see you next year."
They turn off the camera and I thank the whole team and pick up my things leaving when someone calls out to me.
"I could almost see the look of disgust on your face, lucky it's only me."
"Don't you have a party to go to?" I ask turning around and seeing Max.
"We do and it's at the Plaza, your name is on the list in case you want to go."
"And why would I go?"
"To celebrate that I won."
"I wasn't rooting for you to win."
"I know, and you have no idea how much that motivated me to win." He says stepping close to me. "I'm counting on you being there."
"Your girlfriend doesn't mind you being here trying to convince me to come to your little party?"
"She's not the boss of me and she didn't come to the race."
"Got it, I hope you have a bad night." I say walking out and just hear him yell one back.
...
I was lying on my bed staring at the ceiling with a lot of boredom thinking about the party Max had invited me to. Obviously I didn't want to go somewhere where he was but staying here in the room alone while I could be there drinking and having fun was also not an option.
So I got ready and asked for an Uber to the place where the party was going to be, I gave my name at the entrance and they said I was in the VIP area which I wouldn't go because obviously there would be few people and Max would be one of them.
I went to the bar to get something to drink and I felt a presence behind me and when I turned around to see who it was I saw only his chest and I looked up and Max was there with those damn blue eyes that I could spend the day looking at.
"I thought you said you weren't coming."
"Yeah but I was lying naked in my hotel bed with nothing to do so I thought a free drink wouldn't be a bad idea."
"I have lots of ideas of what you could have done naked in your hotel bed." He says coming closer.
"And are you in any of them?"
"Maybe."
"Then put it out of your mind because as far as I know you're committed to miss I’m dating an f1 champion."
"Imagining is not cheating as far as I know."
"If you say so." I downed my drink and looked at him. "Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go dance and maybe find someone to take me back to my hotel room."
…
The party was great and I was sweaty from dancing, I went to get a drink of water and saw Daniel coming towards me.
"Can I ask you a favor?" He says taking a deep breath after seemingly circling the whole party looking for me.
"Sure."
"Can you take Max back to the hotel? I already tried but he said he won't leave unless he goes with you."
"Fucking hell." I say following him and see Max drunkenly calling my name.
"There you are." He gets up and almost goes but I hold him back. "Where have you been all party?"
"Having fun far away from you."
"Ouch." He runs his hand over my face, taking away the hair that was there. "Wow, you're so beautiful."
"Thanks, let's go."
After a lot of effort we managed to get to the hotel, I couldn't find his room keys and Max muttered something about them being with Daniel so I took his hand and we walked to my room, he was already much better since the city traffic was crazy and took us an hour to get here, he was still a little altered but he knew what he was doing.
"Are you going to let me sleep in your room?"
"Well I'm not going to go chasing someone to get another key to your room and I'm not going to let you leave like that either so it looks like we don't have any other option."
That said I go to get my pajamas but when I went to pass he put his hands around my waist and put his face close to mine.
"You're beautiful you know that right?"
"You already said that, like a while ago."
"I know but I wanted to say it again." I hated it when he looked me straight in the eye because I couldn't look away from those damn blue eyes.
"I hate it when you stare at me."
"Why?"
"Because I hate that I can't stop looking into your eyes."
"Good, because I don't want you to stop looking at them." He comes even closer. "Do you even know how hard I'm trying not to ruin my relationship right now?"
"Ruin it." I say without even thinking.
"What?" he asks shocked.
"I said ruin it."
Max and I start kissing and at the same time his tongue enters my mouth, it was a wild kiss that I could not separate even if I wanted to.
We walk without separating the kiss to the bed where he lays me down and gets on top of me.
One of his hands was on my face and my hands pass through his back going to the hem of his shirt trying to take it off.
He understands my gesture and takes off his shirt and he stops for a few seconds and just stares at me before taking off my blouse and starts kissing down to my neck and my breast.
I lift my back from the bed for him to open my bra and Max wastes no time in starting to suck my breast making me squirm on the bed.
He goes down the kisses to my belly and with his hands squeezes my breasts, he kisses my pussy still covered with the thin lace of my black pantries and soon removes all my clothes leaving me completely naked.
He kisses my thighs and starts massaging my clit with his fingertips making me moan and soon I feel his tongue on my pussy making quick movements.
He stared at me and the exchange of glances was what was making the environment even hotter than it already was.
I raise my hips giving him access to all my pussy and he holds my hips and leaves a strong grip on my ass, then he sticks two fingers inside my pussy without cutting the movement of his mouth.
"Fuck." I grumble trying to hold back my moans. "Keep doing it like that, that's how I want it."
He adds a third finger and I can't control any more moans, they are getting louder and louder.
I feel my legs starting to shake, signaling that I'm going to come at any moment.
I warn him and he intensifies his movements until I reach my limit.
He swallows my cum and continues in my pussy until he starts kissing my whole body, leaving some hickeys on my breast and going to my neck and reaching my ear.
"I knew one day I would make you scream my name in the middle of the night." he bites my lobe and kisses my mouth again.
I take off the bottom of his clothes, also leaving him naked, and switch our positions getting on top of him.
I sit on his lap and start to make a delicious friction in our intimacies hearing a muffled moan from the blond and his cock getting more and more bigger.
He holds my neck tight and makes me lie completely on top of him while he attacks my lips.
I stop the kiss and make a trail of kisses down his neck leaving some hickeys on the way until I reach his cock and kiss the tip.
When I was about to start sucking his cock, Max holds my hair tightly and starts making the movements himself making me choke a few times, his moans were getting louder and louder when he increases the movements and cums in my mouth.
I don't usually swallow, but this time I did it without thinking twice.
"How about you sitting on my face?" I walk over to him and sit on his face.
I hold onto the headboard, making back and forth movements while he sucks me and holds my breasts tight while I go up and down doing all the work while his tongue remains still.
He stops sucking me and I sit back on his lap as he looks at me, seeming to have an idea.
"I want to fuck you in a different way." he says in his sexy voice. "Face the window, I want everyone to see that you're mine tonight."
I do as he asks thanking that my room is on the second to last floor because they would never be able to see that it's the two of us.
"Good girl, now I'm going to fuck you, but you choose." He grabs my neck. "Do you want it tender or do you want a fuck with all the positions we can handle?"
"Fuck me hard, make me yours." I try to turn towards him but he won't let me.
"Your wish is my command schatz." he begins to fit his cock in my intimacy.
At that time I didn't care about anything, I didn't care that it was him, I didn't care that we were having sex let alone that he had a girlfriend that he was cheating on right now.
Soon he begins to give strong strokes in and out of me holding my neck with one hand as he squeezes my breast with de other.
He gets out of me and turns me over, putting my back against the window and grabbing my legs with his arms and fitting his member into me again in a strong and aggressive way.
The thrusts continue stronger and stronger and the only noises we hear in the room is our bodies colliding and heavy breathing.
We try to hold back our moans but every exit and entry inside me makes me want to scream his name.
I pull him into a kiss and he bites my bottom lip and still kissing me, Max leads me to the bed leaving my back against the mattress and him on top of me fucking me like it's the last thing he would do.
The last thing we would ever do.
Due to lack of air we stop the kiss and my hands go to his back leaving several scratches, I see him staring at me while I call his name.
I announce my apex to him who is also reaching his.
When I reach my limit and he continues inside me going faster and faster making me scream for him until he comes.
He gets out of me and I change position to doggy and he leaves a slap on my ass, entering me again and going slowly to torture me, until he increases the speed.
He squeezes my breasts and massages my nipple.
He pulls out of me and lies down pulling me to sit on his lap.
I fit his member inside me and start to ride slowly while he squeezes my waist and I start to move up and down when taking his member out of me, until we cum again and I fall tired on his chest.
He leaves a kiss on my forehead and keeps messing with my hair without changing position.
After a while of caresses between the two of us, we left and went straight to the bathroom, he discarded the condom while I went into the shower but he came after, I was on my back to him when he takes my wet hair off my neck and starts kissing him all over and turns me to him starting to kiss my mouth leaning me against the wall while the hot water falls on both of us.
He goes down and leaves a hickey in the middle of my breasts and goes down the kisses and penetrates me with three fingers, I put my hand on my mouth to contain the moans while he fucks me once again.
Soon he leaves a kiss on my pussy and goes back up making a trail of kisses through my body and he lifts my left leg and fucks me mercilessly.
With each thrust he says how beautiful I am and what a wonderful woman I was.
He bites my ear and my nipple in a pleasurable way, while his hands are on my ass.
He squeezes and moans softly in my ear, until together we reach our limit.
We shower together while he washes my hair and I do the same with him.
Leaving the shower, Max put on his underwear and I took his blouse and my panties and put them on too.
When we lay down he pulled me on top of him and soon he was asleep but I kept thinking about how we would react tomorrow morning after we recounted the conscience of our deeds, but honestly I wasn't going to lose my sleep thinking about it now, it was already done and I decided that tomorrow I would worry about it.
This is probably going to have more parts so let me know if you want to be tagged in the next ones.

Fame Astrology Placements
These are just placements that may help with becoming well known. I've made my own observations and they may differ from what other people have said in some aspects. More you have more possiblity there is for fame but there are a lot placements that I don't mention here too so I can make part two if I get enough likes.
Moon and jupiter aspecting preferably positive aspect conjunction , trine, sextile : This placement makes people gravitate towards this person because of their great luck and constant expansion in life. Amazing for manifestation too!
Sun in 1st, 10th, 11th or 12th. So many celebrities have these placements .
Aquarius, Leo and Scorpio placements can draw attention easily. One of these as a dominant sign is great indicator. You can calculate your dominant sign on https://horoscopes.astro-seek.com/dominant-planets-astrology-online-calculator
Venus in 1st , 2nd, 5th, 10th, 11th.
1st house ruler in 10th house ; Your career and image are what people see in your first impression. So it could be that they recognize you because of your fame or your profession could affect your looks in some way.
8th house ruler in 1st house : Charming and beautiful "sex symbol" energy. Eg. Marilyn Monroe, Scarlett Johansson,Grace kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Doja Cat.
Late degree leo in any placement is strong indicator 28/29 degrees. Regulus is literally "the royal star" universe gives us these signs in our birth chart trust me. This on ascendant or midheaven especially is like you are destined to be known in some way.
Air signs placements (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Sun aspecting jupiter (trine, sextile, conjunct) Lucky bastards. Very playful and and funny people that others love to be around.
Dhanistha nakshatra : Very iconic eg: Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn and Aaliyah.
Obviously 10th house stellium is very strong indicator as 10th house rules fame as well as 11th in a different way.
11th and 10th house cusp : Planets there is on the dhanistha area of the chart so makes you potential star.
Neptune aspecting ascendant is rarely not seen on celebrities

Jupiter & Rahu : Ditziness & Weird Girl Humor
This post is inspired by an ask I received a while ago
Jupiter & Rahu girls in comedy cinema/television often play airheaded characters who are a bit ditzy and zany. Another feature is that all these characters are mostly harmless, good natured people. They can be mean/blunt but its because of their ditzy, airheaded nature and not out of malice.
All 3 Jupiter naks belong mostly to air signs (Punarvasu- Gemini, Vishaka-Libra, Purvabhadrapada- Aquarius) and same goes for all 3 Rahu naks (Ardra-Gemini, Swati-Libra, Shatabhisha-Aquarius) in fact all Rahu naks come right before a Jupiter nak. I have always personally believed that Rahu & Jupiter are similar in many ways but obviously different as well. Rahu is limitless expansion. Jupiter is boundless expansion within principles.
But all that aside, Jupiter & Rahu are literally air influenced and I do think its the presence of an excess of Air that makes someone come across as "airheaded".
The etymology of the word "airhead" is that one's head is filled with air and is thus empty. I have talked about Jupiter & even Rahu's limitless nature feeling "empty" for the natives themselves. Out of all the elements, air is the only one that can really said to be boundless, its not measurable or calculable, its just there, unlike water or earth or fire. but air has no physical form and while that is liberating, it also makes one feel empty and untethered and these are all emotional issues that a lot of Jupiter/Rahu people deal with.
But anyyywayys,
youtube
Cat Valentine on Victorious played by Ariana Grande is a really good example of an airheaded, zany comic character.
Ari has Ardra Sun & Mercury in Punarvasu (Rahu + Jupiter influence)
I will include Mercury placements because Mercury is literally how we communicate with others??
youtube
Phoebe Buffay from Friends is another good example of this type of comedy. She is played by Lisa Kudrow's who has Rahu conjunct Ascendant in Punarvasu
youtube
Kelly Kapoor from The Office is the ditzy zany delusional gal played by Mindy Kaling who is Ardra Sun & Moon, with Mercury in Punarvasu
youtube
Jackie Burkhart on The 70s Show played by Mila Kunis, Swati Moon is a meaner version of this archetype
youtube
Meryl Streep- Ardra Sun often speaks and talks this way. Just watch any of her interviews and you can sense that Rahu/Jupiter airy nature/demeanour/comic sense
youtube
Janhvi Kapoor, Purvabhadrapada Sun, Mercury in Shatabhisha is known for her "dumb girl persona" that most people think is fake but tbh I just think she's a little slow due to all that Air influence lol
youtube
Gracie Allen, Mercury in Punarvasu conjunct Jupiter is an early example of this type of humour and comedy
youtube
Cheryl Tunt on Archer voiced by Judy Greer, Mercury in Punarvasu (Saturn in Punarvasu atmakaraka)
youtube
Chrissy Snow from Three's Company played by Suzane Somers, Punarvasu Moon & Mercury in Vishaka is a classic example of a ditz
There are notable male ditzy characters as well
youtube
Andy from Parks & Rec played by Chris Pratt, Mercury in Punarvasu & Swati Rising
(there's a 10 video limit per post so I cant attach more vids)
Joey Tribbiani, played by Matt LeBlanc, Purvabhadrapada Moon, Mercury in Ardra & Punarvasu Rising is a great example of a male ditz
Harpo Marx- Punarvasu Moon, Mercury in Vishaka he was a silent comedian known for his highly exaggerated physical comedy that was very pantomime/clown-like. This is another aspect of the airhead/ditz, they don't just say dumb things, they do dumb things. Physical comedy is a big part of it.
London Tipton played by Brenda Song, Mercury conjunct Rahu in Purvabhadrapada
Christina Applegate, Shatabhisha Moon played a very ditzy character on Married With Children
These are all the examples off the top of my head. I feel like many Disney princesses will also fit this bill lol
lmk if you have other examples
hope this was interesting xx

Crazy in love
George Russell x fem!reader
Summary: somehow part two of this
Warnings: angst, mentions of miscarriage, hurt, pregnancy, fluff, love, Max and Kelly
A/N: since it’s Christmas season let’s unwrap this gift. Had an urge to write something based on “Our love” and this made sense to me. Enjoy!
Please don’t use my writings without my permission! Pictures found on Pinterest.
———
There was a buzz at the Mercedes hospitality, where I was watching the press conference, sipping on my coffee. My presence wasn’t planned here in Abu Dhabi, but when George came home after last race, everything seemed unplanned in our lives.
Questions, accusations, this or that, the chaos of the last weekend events was everywhere. George even had a meeting with his PR team about what Max has said about him, because they advised him to be quiet and not react to the sudden situation. Obviously, the reporter at the press conference really shoot his shot, making George say that strategic sentences that were put in his mouth by PR.
“Jesus Christ..” whispering to myself, my face went pale as I ran a hand over my face. I could feel the stares at my back from everybody around, but I really didn’t care.
George was now wearing his diva image, like the Mr. Unbreakable, but I knew the truth. Acting like he did nothing wrong, we met at the paddock entrance after an exhausting media day. He was all smiles and playfulness, until we got to the hotel. That was where the real show started.
I kicked off my heels at the door, cursing at my sore feet, getting to look outside the window to catch a glimpse of sunset. George hummed something under his breath, his body slumping down on the bed.
“What’s with that face of yours?”
I turned to the sound of his voice with quirked brow. “What do you mean?”
“Somethings bothering you and I know that face.”
“Well, yeah, something is actually bothering me.”
“Were you bored or food wasn’t good or-“
“Why do you always blame my mood or food that I’m not feeling great around at races? It’s always the same. You see something and accuses me that I’m bored, then you say that then I should be at home, because what have I expected, when you’re an F1 driver and then you’re accusing the food that’s bad, that I’m not pleased with it. You know what, maybe Max was right.”
I didn’t know where my words came from, but maybe it was just my bottled feelings from the past months. Even though we had our moments of love, there was this problem of his never ending tight schedule, my job and his constant travelling. I was trying my best to support him, even though I didn’t want to be in the spotlight, I still got along with that.
Expression on his face went from shocked to annoyed, maybe a little disappointed. “Wait, wait, wait. What the hell?”
I moved through the room to stand beside the table near the window, leaning against it. “I’m trying to say, that you’re acting like a chill guy and then you’re pinpointing every small thing around you. I pushed aside some of my activities to be here with you for whole weekend, not because I had to, but because I wanted to spend some time with you, even though it’s just a little. I’m not bored and catering is great. I’m grateful to be around, even though you’re acting like an idiot because of your PR image.”
“So, the problem is in what I said at that press conference, isn’t it? How I addressed Max for him talking shit about me?”
“Look, it wasn’t necessary for you to react to it. You were silent for whole week, so why not continue in that?”
“I needed to say something, because he’s a bully.”
“George..”
“No. I understand your concern, but don’t interfere into my affairs with other drivers. It’s not your business.”
I narrowed my eyes at his remark, trying to stay calm, but my patience was wearing thin.
“Well, next time, when you get home all wrecked and sad, you can sleep on the couch, because I don’t want to listen to your pathetic cries about how the world is unfair.”
With that I slammed the door of the bathroom, breathing through my anger and anxiety. Little voice in my head was expecting him to get to me, to calm me down, soothe my nerves. But it never came. Instead I heard how he changed into different clothes, and left the hotel room with slamming door.
Laying in bed, I was scrolling through the instagram and saw the post about dinner with all drivers invited by Lewis. It made me smile, I always adored how they were able to meet and put aside their rivalries. What was amusing was the fact that George sat at the other end of the table across Max. Unfortunately I fell asleep before George arrived back to the hotel room, unaware of him watching me sleep, caressing my cheek in loving way and then wrapping his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to his chest.
Alarm woke me up in the morning, Friday, the practise day. I got up to the bathroom, looking over the bed, seeing how George was still asleep, his beautiful face soft and peaceful, that it made me smile.
As I was putting on my makeup, a notification on my phone got my attention. Looking at instagram I saw the post from Max, announcing that they’re expecting a child with Kelly. At first, my eyes went wide with surprise, then I gasped loudly. I looked at the photo for quite some time, when George knocked on the door of bathroom.
“You can come in.”
George walked inside, noticing the surprised expression on my face as I was staring at the display of my phone.
“What’s wrong?”
“They’re expecting a child.”
“Who?”
“Max and Kelly.”
“Oh, yeah, I know. He told us yesterday.”
“That’s amazing. Really, I’m so happy for them.”
George watched my face intently with concern, maybe a little frown. He reached for the phone in my hands, snatching it away, pulling me into his warm embrace. Running his hand through my hair, he kissed my temple, resting his chin on the top of my head. I hugged him tightly, relaxing on his chest.
“Are you really okay? I know how badly this kind of news is affecting you.”
I just nodded, exhaling my uneasiness. It wasn’t that bad like before, I was genuinely happy for Kelly and Max.
“I’m okay, George. I’m excited to meet with Kelly and talk about the baby already.”
He saw my excitement in my eyes, his worries washing away.
“You know, they also had a hard time being successful. Maybe you and Kelly.. you know, you can catch up on some unspoken feelings.” His hand gently caressed my hair, giving me a sweet smile.
“So, that means you talked to Max?”
George rubbed his neck with nervous smile. “Yeah.. I was actually one of the first people to congratulate him. We talked and it’s okay between us. Also we decided not to fuel social media with another statements. Your speech yesterday got me thinking, you know..”
My lips curled in amused smile. “That’s great to hear.”
———
Through the practise session I spotted Kelly for a few times in the paddock. What I didn’t expect was her catching up with me along my way to the Mercedes hospitality.
“Hey, Kelly, it’s nice to see you.”
Her smile radiant, she was really glowing. “Long time no see, dear.”
“You look great, pregnancy really suits you. I nearly squealed in surprised, when I saw that post in the morning.”
Kelly chucked at my remark. “There were so many rumours throughout the years, but now it’s really true. And it’s really hard to hide it, so we decided to go out with it.”
“Yeah, rumours..” my voice faltered a bit, Kelly noticed.
“What about we get some coffee and snack over there? Talk a little bit.” Kelly smiled, gesturing towards the coffee stand.
———
As I sipped the coffee I couldn’t help but stare at her small bump. Kelly caught my gaze, chuckling.
“Do you want to touch it?”
My eyes went wide. “No, no. It’s okay. Really.”
“It’s okay, you can.”
Swallowing a lump in my throat I reached with my hand, landing it gently on the bump. It felt strange, the fact, that there is a baby growing inside. Also I felt the strange distant flutter in my belly I knew so well from the past. My smile went wide, while I caressed her belly.
“When I mentioned the rumours earlier, every time I heard or read about them, it pained me so much, because, of course, there was a miscarriage along the way. Then so many negative tests. Exhausting, depressing and frustrating. But most of all sadness, that I’m a failure. Max was always a perfect support, holding my hand while I was in pain, giving me a words that soothed the hole in my heart.” Kelly sighed a little, with a small smile.
“Yeah.. George was great too. We.. it happened to us too. A year ago at Monaco GP. I was really lucky that we were practically home. I couldn’t imagine to be in foreign country, hospital and then travelling home in that pain and sadness. The worst thing about it was that I haven’t even knew that I’m carrying a child, so I fell into the spiral of self guilt, i thought about all the moments when I drank alcohol, when I was overworking myself and social media were wild about me and George being a couple at that time. Really hard time. After that I dreamed about having a child, but George’s tight schedule and my health aren’t optimal, so we left it to the fate. I’m trying not to cling onto it, but as you know, it’s hard.”
Kelly looked genuinely surprised, but she grabbed my hand and gave it a light, reassuring squeeze.
“I’m really surprised, that there wasn’t any gossip about it, in that you’re really lucky. But on the other hand.. it really sucks and it’s horrible experience. Especially when there are people who would most likely see you at your lowest.”
“Yeah, tell me about it. That’s why I’m mostly aside, back from those crowds, press and nosy fans.”
“I understand that now.. I believe that one day you’re gonna get your own miracle.” Kelly smiled caressing her baby bump, while I grinned like a child.
———
Giving the last decoration up the Christmas tree, I sighed in relief, that it’s done. Exhaustion was one thing I got to live through the past weeks, it was weird. George was watching over me like a hawk since the end of the season, trying to pinpoint what might be wrong with me.
“What?” I asked him, when I turned around and caught his gaze.
His ocean eyes traveled over my body, noticing how I pulled my hoodie over my stomach weirdly. As if he finally understood what’s going on, his face softened, mouth slightly parted.
“Ah-ah. Don’t give me that look. No. You don’t know anything, just pretend and don’t ruin my surprise.”
With a soft chuckle, I took a small box into my hands, walking towards him and giving it to him.
“Just open it. I know that Christmas is a three days away, but I can’t wait anymore and you clearly just noticed.”
George quickly unwrapped the paper, revealing the small box into which was a positive pregnancy test and ultrasound picture.
“No way…” his whisper lingered through the room, filling the space with warmth and joy.
“I took it a day after we got home from Abu Dhabi, just to torture myself a little. And.. it came out positive. Same as ten others. As the tests at the doctors. And look at the small bundle at the picture. It’s our baby.” My eyes were on the verge of the tears, I still couldn’t believe it.
“You should’ve told me right away and not being alone in that feeling.” He frowned still looking at the ultrasound picture.
“I wanted it to be a surprise for Christmas. And.. if something would happen I wouldn’t be so distressed as the last time.. but I couldn’t wait to share it with you, and you caught how I’m tired and wearing baggy clothes, most of yours also..”
In a matter of seconds he wrapped his arms around my waist in tight hug, nuzzling his face into my neck, drowning in my scent, his hands slowly reaching my barely visible baby bump.
“I couldn’t wish for a better Christmas present. But.. there’s something missing, my love.”
As I quirked my brow, he put the box with a pregnancy test down, his hand shoving into the pocket of his sweatpants and taking out a smaller, red velvet box. My breath hitched in throat, absolutely taken aback by what he was about to do. Catching my shocked expression, he let out a shaky laugh, getting on his knee.
“Well… I also wanted it to be a Christmas surprise, but when I saw you decorating that Christmas tree, it felt natural to do it now, and in this moment, it makes perfect sense… my dear love, my enchanting partner, will you marry me? Will you spent an eternity with me?”
My tears were now flowing down my cheeks, along with the joyful laughter. “Yes, yes, absolutely, yes.”
Taking a ring from the pocket, he slid it down my finger, admiring how great it looked. I was literally shaking like crazy from all the overwhelming emotions.
“We’re crazy, George.”
“Crazy in love, Mrs. Russell.”

Could Be? - Jay Halstead
Jay Halstead x Fem!Reader Severide
Warnings: none
Word count: 766
Summary: Jay’s never met Serveirses sister, maybe its because she travels for work so often. But maybe they hadn’t met yet for a reason. Maybe it hadn’t been the right time till now.
Authors Note: You never see a woman wrestler as a job for the reader and I’m a big fan of AEW so I put some of that in this story.
Masterlist
One Chicago Masterlist
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“Hey Herrmann.” Jay greeted as he approached the firefighter. It was rare when the FD and the PD could get together but this giant cook out for both departments was a great way to get together.
“What's up Halstead?” Herrmann answered with a smile.
Jay was looking around and he had noticed a woman he’s never seen before with Kelly. Who better to ask than Herrmann. “Who’s that over there with Severide?”
“Y/n?” Herrmann furrowed his brows, why’d he want to know that? Then again Jay was a friendly guy and probably hadn’t met her yet. “Severide's sister Y/n. Well half sister but their mom’s let the two grow up seeing each other all the time. Essentially they grew up together. They're close.”
“Thank’s.” Jay nodd’s in gratitude as Herrmann got dragged away by one of his kids.
“Dude this could be a bad idea.” Kevin shook his head already sure of what Jay was thinking. Kevin and Adam had been nearby and heard Jay talking to Herrmann, so once the firefighter left they approached their buddy.
“Could be?” Adam raised a brow in question.
“It’s Severide's sister.” Kevin clarifies as if it should be obvious.
“She could be worth it.” Adam shrugged his shoulders, taking a sip of his beer.
“Who could be worth it?” Hailey questioned as her and Kim walked up to the guys.
“Severide's sister.” Kevin tell’s the women, catching them up.
“You should at least try.” Kim shrugged her shoulders.
“Thank you ladies.” Jay smiled at them before heading over towards Kelly and his apparent sister.
“Hey Jay.” Kelly nodded in greeting.
“Severide. Who’s this?” he asked, smiling.
“Y/n Jay Halstead, Jay Halstead Y/n Severide Y/l/n. My sister.” Kelly introduced his sister to the detective.
“Nice to meet you.” Y/n smiled, shaking his hand.
“Nice to meet you to. Didn’t know Kelly had a sister.” Jay smiled, shaking her hand.
“I travel a lot for work.” Y/n nodded as she gave her explanation.
“I’m gonna go grab a burger.” Kelly stated leaking the two to get acquainted.
“What do you do for work?” Jay asked, trying to get to know her better.
“Professional Wrestler.” Y/n answered with a smirk.
“Like WWE?” he raised a brow in shock.
Y/n shook her head and scoffed. “No, that's not professional wrestling, that's sports entertainment. The outcome, move’s pulled in the ring and words they say. All scripted… No, I'm with AEW. Real professional wrestling.”
“I’ll have to watch sometime.” Jay smiled at how passionately she talked about her job.
“Maybe you can come and see it in person sometime.” Y/n offered shyly.
“It’s a date.” Jay stated obviously hinting at the fact he was interested in her.
“Well the date would have to be after or before.” Y/n glanced at him.
“Fine by me.” Jay smirked.
Y/n nodded and then looked him up and down and smirked herself. “And let me guess ex-military and now law enforcement.”
“Damn spot on guess.” Jay answered, looking at her impressed and shocked.
“Well it’s not hard to tell your ex-military but it’s easy to see you're not a firefighter. And this is for firefighters and law enforcement plus their families.” Y/n laughed at his facial expression.
“Detective.” Jay told her to stepping closer to her.
“You work under Voight.” Y/n came to the conclusion.
“The one and only. You have a beef with him to?” Jay asked, really hoping she didn’t.
“Not personally. Only backing up Casey. But that’s been settled.” Y/n tells him with a shake of her head in a ‘no’ motion.
Meanwhile some of 51 and Voights team were watching from afar.
“Are you letting Halstead chat up your sister?” Herrmann raised a brow as he questioned the squad leader, confused and slightly concerned. Concerned for Halstead.
“No harm in them just talking.” Kelly shrugged.
“It’s more than that.” Adam laughed
“I noticed. But as long as he doesn’t hurt her I don’t have a problem with it.” Kelly told them taking a sip of his beer.
“You have a problem with anyone else aksing her out on a date.” Cruz looked at him with squinted eye’s judgingly.
“Not me.” Casey smirked, tilting his head, looking all innocent.
“Yeah well you're the exception.” Kelly shrugged and nudged Casey’s shoulder.
“What about Halstead?” Mouch asked.
“We’ll see.” Kelly watched Y/n and Jay closely. He’d be the first one to step in if he didn’t like anything Jay did. Y/n’s his sister, you don’t mess with his sister.

The polar opposites the 5'0 pregnant reader who knows he deserves better and the only one who can break his wall down but very feisty when she need to be. Very scary when she hungry. Everything time he look at her . His heart just can't take it
Trance
Armando Aretas
genre: fluff ig
warnings: none rlly
Polar- no complete opposites
Mike needed Armando’s help on a case. You were also asked by Mike to help.
That’s where you two met.
You and Armando
He took a interest in you and your relationship grew from there. But he did soon realize something, not really a problem but instead, a fact. You two were complete opposites.
Mean and Nice
Hot and Cold
Fast and Slow
This made it hard for him to plan dates and things for you two to do, finding something that you both could enjoy. But, there were still restrictions on what you to could do, him being a wanted man and all.
So most of the time y’all spend together are at your apartment. Which led to you being 3 months pregnant. You hadn’t told Mike yet but you think he suspects it.
Kelly still suspects that Armando is a terrible person and was going to hurt you sooner or later.
You, Armando, Kelly, Mike, Marcus, and Dorn were staying late at the agency. You and Kelly were just talking while the boys were searching places and people on Dorn’s computer.
Kelly started glaring at Armando
“I just don’t trust him. He’s a disrespectful, self-centered, arrogant criminal.”
Armando wasn’t deaf, he could obviously hear Kelly. He turned his head glancing at you, then back at the computer.
You’d had it with Kelly, “You’ve been taking shots at Armando ever since he started working with us. Well that stops now. You don’t know him enough to judge him off of past actions! So if you have something say, say it now and we will walk out the door right now and we’ll never help you with anything ever again!”
You heart was racing. You were fed up. Armando walked over to you he leaned down and whispered in your ear “Tu bebe luchadora, me gusta.” You smiled looking up at him.
Y’all’s relationship was great. Armando is usually known as deadpanned, unemotional, or stonefaced. He would never show his true emotions, nor communicate how he felt. Everyone brushed it off and let him be him.
But that wouldn’t fly with you. You would break that wall down before it was even finished being built. You’re patient with him. But he’s also patient with you.
Pregnancy hormones and hungers are no joke. Mike, Marcus, and Kelly would describe you as scary when you’re hungry, Armando thought it was muy linda, cute. He was completely in love with you.
The way you walked, the way you talked, everything you do makes his heart do backflips. So much that his heart couldn’t take it. You had him in a trance.
Translations:
Tu bebe luchadora, me gusta - You’re feisty baby, i like it.
—
Hii! This story was just a little difficult for me to write for some reason and it’s definitely not the best so I’ll probably have to rewrite it. I honesty feel like my writing isn’t even good enough to be published right now but hey🤷🏽♀️. I think my issue is that I want my writing to be like everyone else’s and I’m very self conscious. Anywho keep the requests coming, I will be posting one more story today!

Wakana Classics 2024 Mini Report
Tweet by Wakana | Instagram post 1 & 2 by Wakana | Oricon News | Livedoor News | Sanspo | Wakana's Blog post
2024/12/18 Setlist 1.Yureru Haru 2.Kara 3.Kibō 4.Rain 5.When she loved me 6.Inochi no Namae 7.Kaze no Tōri Michi 8.Monoke Hime 9.snow falling (Kalafina) 10.Underneath the Tree (Kelly Clarkson) 11.Shirushi 12.Kinmokusei 13.Flag 14.Asu no Yumemite Utau 15.Magic Moment Encore 1.Happy Hello Day Encore 2.Sono Saki e After Event.Yume no Yukue
Some highlights: Kibō my beloved 😍, the entire anime block was to die for! I loved every second of it! Non-stop tears😭 snow falling was such a treat. It’s a favourite of mine and Wakana’s cover is honestly amazing!!! When she started talking about the upcoming Kalafina Live I got so emotional. Everyone is so excited and they can’t wait for is to hear their harmony again. Hopefully they will sing snow falling in January 🙏🙏🙏Never heard that Kelly Clarkson song before but Wakana slayed! Overall it was such a good live with so many great performances. A few forgotten lyrics but that’s almost part of Wakana’s charm by now😅Her reaction is always so cute (I do feel bad for her though because it obviously bothers her).
The little talk with her cellist Masateru (Teru) Nishikata was super fun. For those of you who don’t know, he played the cello for Kalafina many times so they know each other well. This was the first time he joined one of Wakana‘s solo events. He was moved to tears and also beyond excited for the Kalafina reunion live. He mentioned regretting the sudden disbandment because they never got the chance to do a proper goodbye. Wakana is relieved about this reunion (even though it is also very sudden). Wonder if that means Teru will be one of the band members…?
Random side note: Poor girl was killed by her high heels today so she had to return to the stage with bare feet.
I hate myself for being shy during the send-off. Wish I would’ve been able to say something like last time🫣This time I was just too nervous and staff members were rushing me☠️ I think she recognised me though and wished me a safe journey back home.
*********************************************
Before the concert, I did some Wakana activities. First I had lunch at MinMin, a small 🥟gyoza🥟 restaurant. Then I went to see the exhibition at Ginza Art Aquarium. Such great experiences❣️
Of course I got all the merch. Wakana is so cute in the pamphlet photos💕💕What an adorable hairstyle! Also got a lot of snacks from fellow fans🤗

I have never verified this but a part of me wonders if there have been more ballet Barbies than any other genre of Barbie.
Obviously there was the Barbie Nutcracker movie which had a whole host of tie-in dolls - both at the time of the movie's release, and in callbacks to the line over time. After all, it was the first Barbie animated movie and there's plenty of material there to refine and rerelease.
In addition to the Nutcracker Barbies, there have been a number of Barbies depicting characters in other ballets, including Romeo & Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream as well as other famous ballets like Swan Lake.
But more generally, there have been a great number of Barbies simply identified by variations on "Ballerina" - Ballerina, Ballet Star, Ballet Wishes, Fairytale Ballerina, and so on. To my knowledge the first of these was in 1961, but variations on the line continue into the present day.
Most of these - especially the playline dolls - have been very basic doll releases containing just the doll in costume without a great deal of additional accessories or props,
Probably the one with the most interesting props, to my mind, is Barbie Ballet Instructor, in which Barbie is the dance teacher and her child pupils are able to perform on a working dance stage.
I do find it quite a cute little design.
Another strong contender in a similar line would be I Can Be: Ballet Teacher, also featuring Barbie as the teacher with a Kelly/Chelsea-aged doll as her student.
And of course, it would be remiss to talk about this without acknowledging the Barbie Ballet Studio and Stage Set.
This post feels really long and yet I've not even talked about a fraction of the ballerina Barbies and other ballet-themed playsets there are in the Barbie world. You can see what I mean when I say that I think ballet may just be the most prolific career or theme Barbie has.
(This post is for @plasticoctopus as a belated birthday present!)

Post-game Press Conference: MN vs NY - 12/1/2024
youtube
The season 2 home opener for the Minnesota Frost. But they lost in overtime to the New York Sirens. Final score was 3-4.
At the table were coach Ken Klee, captain Kendall Coyne-Schofield, and forward Grace Zumwinkle.
As per usual, I'll put the transcription [and my random asides] under the break.
[The video starts after a question was asked, so I have no idea what it was, but we begin with Klee's answer to it.]
KEN KLEE:
Yeah, well, I mean, it’s tough. I mean, it’s obviously exciting, I think, for our players, our coaches, everybody. Just- You know, you had the banner raising, you come out, score 30 seconds in—awesome goal—we’re rolling. You know, I think the shots were a lot to a little in the first and you know, we just gotta stay on it. Their goalie made some huge saves for them and give them credit. They hung in there. We were trying to put everything we had at them and they found a way to hang on. But it was a good hockey game. And overall when we outshoot teams 2-1, I like our chances. So, it was a good point by us and it was a good hockey game.
[For clarification, and for anyone new: in the PWHL teams get 3 points for the season for a regulation win, 2 for a win in overtime, 1 for an overtime loss, and 0 for a loss in regulation. And those points are what ultimately determines who makes it to the playoffs at the end of the season.
So when Klee says "It was a good point by us" he is referring to the fact that by taking NY to overtime they earned a point for the season, and not referring to any specific goal in the game.
Maybe that was already obvious, but I figured I mention it just in case.]
Reporter:
Grace [Zumwinkle], you had the first goal in two consecutive home openers. Can you take us through that goal?
GRACE ZUMWINKLE:
Yeah, I think it first started off with the backcheck and keeping the puck in from Britta Curl. And then Kelly Pannek made a great heads up hockey play, and I think that’s one of her greatest strengths as a hockey player. And we certainly compliment each other well in that regard.
Reporter:
Do you feel that in that moment, kind of the rush of everything that’s happening before the game kind of feeding into that momentum as a player?
GRACE ZUMWINKLE:
I mean, it’s something that I think we talked about before and it’s super exciting, super cool to see the girls come back, and you kind of relive the memory of winning. But then as the puck drops it’s a new season, it’s a new start, and I think that was something you can’t just sit and dwell on what we accomplished last season. New York gave us a great game and that’s something that we need to continue to work on as well.
Reporter:
[They’re fumbling a bit on their words a little here, but it sounds like: Grace, what went through your mind when you said you saw the banner go up?]
GRACE ZUMWINKLE:
[laughing] Sorry, can you repeat that?
Reporter:
What went through your mind as the banner went up?
GRACE ZUMWINKLE:
I think it’s super special to see it and I think we had kind of a unique run at the championship: losing the first five game- Last five games of the season and then coming through it. And I think it’s a huge testament to the group of us just flipping the script and turning it around. And I think that’s something our group is so proud of and necessarily it wasn’t an easy ride to win it at the end.
[After that question, let us take a quick moment to appreciate Zummie's messy top bun here.
How can anyone not love this woman?
Okay, back to the questions.]
Reporter:
Kendall [Coyne Schofield], did the things you thought you were going to think about is that how it went down when you saw it go up?
[I feel the need to point out that I am reasonably sure I transcribed that question properly, so don't put its bizarre structure on me. This was from the same guy who asked the fumbled question earlier and he clearly needs to work on phrasing his questions a little more clearly.]
KENDALL COYNE-SCHOFIELD:
Yeah, definitely. You know, it was really exciting to see some of our teammates be able to come back. I wish everyone could’ve back for it, of course. But I hope those that weren’t were able to watch from wherever they were. But yeah, just a reflection of so many people who made that possible and that will always be woven in that banner that’s up in the rafters forever.
[For context, before the banner was raised some of the players from the season one team who are no longer a part of the team (and not on another team this year) were invited out onto the ice for the ceremony. Nikki Nightengale, Lauren Bench, and Amanda Leveille were there for sure...I might be missing someone though. Kendall actually skated up to each of them and greeted them as she brought out the cup which I thought was a nice gesture.]
[P.S. I have still not come to terms with the fact that Amanda Leveille never got to take the ice as a goalie during an official PWHL game and now she never will. Sometimes the world just isn't fair.]
Reporter:
Kendall, did you feel the game kind of change there in the second period?
KENDALL COYNE-SCHOFIELD:
Yeah, I think we knew they were gonna push. You know, I think you look at the first 20 minutes of everyone’s season, whether it’s the rookies making their pro debut or the players who were there last year making their year two debut [laughs]. There was a lot of emotions in the first period. I thought we came out hard and we knew they were gonna push in the second. We just didn’t match that push. I thought we came back with a harder push in the third, but obviously that wasn’t enough. But the good part is it’s game 1, day 1. And we get the opportunity to learn from tonight’s game.
Reporter:
Was there anything in particular that you felt gave them the edge in power plays tonight? In kind of being able to, you know, take advantage of that when they had their opportunity?
KEN KLEE:
I think they only had one. And it was a good shot. I mean, she made a shot off the post, you know, short-side. I think that’s a shot as a power play that we’re gonna have to give up. If it’s dot-line, top of the circle? She just made a really nice shot. I think they were 1 for 1 and we were 0 for 1. There wasn’t many calls like some of the other games yesterday that we watched; obviously there was a lot of power plays. But it was a good game. I thought both teams played hard. It was up and down. I thought we did a lot of good things and in the end it was just finishing our chances. That’s kind of the message after. We played hard, we got a point, and now we just need to continue to get better.
Reporter:
Was it kind of deja vu for you a little bit? With all the shots but not producing maybe as much as you want to do?
KEN KLEE:
Not really. It’s a new team. We’ve been working on shooting and scoring and all those things. Doing the right things, going to the right areas, managing the puck. I thought our puck management was really good for a lot of times in the game where we didn’t give them odd-man rushes, maybe they had one or two, but that was it. As far as that goes we were buzzing. So we keep buzzing like that and I know we have a lot of players that are going to find the back of the net. I think Taylor [Heise] had four or five [???] by herself. So that’s- she’s obviously a gifted scorer and she’ll continue to shoot pucks and get pucks there.
[Sorry, I he mumbled a bit at that point and I'm not sure exactly what he was saying. 4 or 5 point biters? 4 or 5 points behind her? Maybe there's a slang term in there somewhere I'm not catching. I dunno! Heise had 0 points that game, but she did take 4 shots, so I'm assuming he's just referring to the fact they were able to produce a lot of opportunities to take shots {even if they weren't successful ones.}]
Reporter:
Grace, when you’re on the ice or on the bench too, how much are you aware of just kinda the fans? You know, with them cheering or there were a couple of chants. You know last year it was kind of the “Minnesota”, which they did a couple of times, there were a couple ones they tried to get started with the word "Frost." Do you guys kind of hear that? It seemed like kinda the fans were getting used to the new name as well a little bit.
GRACE ZUMWINKLE:
Yeah, I think everyone’s super excited to have a team name and something that we can all support. I know our fans, we take pride in having the best fans. And I think every city says that. But especially growing up in Minnesota and being from here, I think it’s just super special to see a packed Xcel Energy Center and that’s something you don’t see every single night. And I think it’s something that as a group we try to show our best every single night for them.

Most Common Problems Faced by My Childhood Dolls (Grouped by Type of Doll)
Baby/Companion Dolls: life-threatening diseases; bullying by other dolls at school; my dubious discipline style; my divorce from my imaginary husband Jake.
Groovy Girls: bullying by other Groovy Girls; life-altering gymnastics accidents; feet too unwieldy for go-go boots.
Barbies: false witchcraft accusations; real witches; tuberculosis; kidnapping; the time Ken and his brother Adam started a polygamous cult; bullying by other Barbies (whether in a normal high school or a beauty pageant or a cult); basically anything bad that happened to female movie stars in Hollywood under the studio system; the challenges of raising a million Chrissies and Kellies and Stacies and Skippers and similarly sized off-brand child dolls with little help from Ken or Adam; sibling rivalry (including an East of Eden-style mess between Ken and Adam).
Dollhouse Families: my friend Emily C. (I was Emily S.) stealing the mom doll from my old Fisher-Price family, leaving John (the dad) a widower, so when I got a new family a few years later, I decided that John should marry Patricia, the mom of the new family, which made it necessary for me to interpret Robbie (almost certainly meant to be a dad doll) as Patricia's teenage son, which was obviously very emotionally confusing for Robbie and exacerbated the usual tensions of a newly blended family.
Clothespin Dolls: Nancy, Alice, and Lily, the three charming clothespin dolls made by my genuinely talented great-aunt Beth in the 1960s or 1970s, were grown-up sisters who had a complicated dynamic (both Nancy and Lily had serious psychological and/or substance abuse issues, so Alice had to take care of them and Nancy's children and her own children) and also experienced nineteenth-century-literature-style problems, like diphtheria and ice-skating accidents and bear attacks. The clothespin dolls that I created myself as a tween/young teen were not as well-made, but their problems were generally limited to normal high school bullshit (not even the kind where you get poisoned or kidnapped!).
Miscellaneous Medium-Sized Figurines (mostly fast food toys of Disney characters and mini-Barbies): various passive-aggressive rivalries between groups (mini-Barbies vs. movie/TV characters, Disney vs. non-Disney, movie vs. TV, protagonist vs. non-protagonist, etc.); a lack of eligible bachelors (leading to unwise marriages, such as Belle from Beauty and the Beast marrying a temperamental Space Jam monster); ennui.
Playmobils: the Playmobils had a nearly utopian society, relatively free from poverty and class snobbery, and generally this diverse group of Union soldiers, stuffy Victorians, pirates, outlaws, royalty, horse girls, milkmaids, and fairies were able to work out their differences peacefully. However, all that progressive modernity had a dark side, most clearly illustrated by the Kafkaesque ordeal of Oliver, a boy who was imprisoned for no discernable reason by an evil psychiatrist and his social worker girlfriend despite the desperate efforts of his mother to free him. Intense wartime romances and infectious disease outbreaks were also common themes.
Fisher-Price Great Adventure Action Figures: these rather hideous but very fun toys (consisting of an anachronistic mix of knights, pirates, cowboys, and Robin Hood's Merry Men) belonged to my seven-years-younger brother, so we would play with them a lot while I was looking after him. Naturally there was a lot of military conflict and criminal activity built into our play (will Robin Hood and his friends be able to steal the treasure from the castle? Will the golden knights or the black knights win the big battle? Who will stop the stagecoach robberies?), but, to entertain myself, I would introduce storylines such as "the Golden Sword Knight is tired of being bullied by the other knights, so he runs away and goes to live in the forest with Robin Hood's gang, where he falls in love with a female outlaw" and "Little John starts a AC/DC-style rock band with two of the black knights and everyone hates it."
Fisher-Price Little People: easily the most provincial of the doll groups, the Fisher-Price Little People struggled with extreme class/wealth inequality, widespread adultery, child abuse, teen homelessness, practically non-existent resources for the disabled, sexual repression, a character known only as "The Pervert," and a killer clown. Every day they went to school and work, and every night they tried to find someone to hook up with and maybe got kidnapped. I only wish my brother and I had been in possession of the motel playset. Think of all the extramarital affairs and drug deals that could have happened there!
Polly Pockets: the Polly Pocket community was dominated by two wealthy factions, a nouveau riche pair of brothers with a beach party house and the royal family. Due to a severe job and housing shortage, plus the local men's habit of not acknowledging their natural children, ordinary Polly Pockets had to struggle and scrape. Compared with the Barbies, there was a lot of solidarity among women (and also Josh, the one working-class boy Polly Pocket). Many of the Polly Pockets were very fragile, including the alcoholic Cowgirl Becky and the agoraphobic piano player Penny.
Paper Dolls: intense status jockeying over who had the most/best clothes, mainly. They also fought about friendships and (if there were any of them) boys, but it ultimately came down to clothes.
#dolls#little john's signature song was called 'ride to hell'#'we're going along on a ride to hell/why don't you come along and feel the trail'#it was not good and everyone was so mad at him

☆ h-o-t-t-o-g-o , you can take me hot to go !
~ leo valdez x jason grace , percy jackson x annabeth chase , piper mclean x reyna avila ramirez arellano if you look hard enough
~ synopsis : the cheer squad is missing a person ... so piper begs leo to help during their routine.
~ tw(s): cursing , the tiniest ever so suggestive
"Fuck no, Pipes." Leo yelped, glancing at the uniform she was holding. Piper let out a whine, pouting. She sighed.
"Please Leo! Today's the final game between New Rome High and Olympus High! And our flyer's gone!" She pleaded. "You and I have done all of the stunts at my house, you know how to do all of the flyer's moves." Piper argued, holding out the uniform. "You're flexible and light, you can do it!"
"It's not my fault Kelli's out sick! I'm not wearing that shit!" He argued. Piper sighed. She had one final argument to pull out.
"Jason told me he was really excited to watch the cheer squad, since he's playing today," Piper nonchalantly dropped. Leo hesitated, raising his eyebrows.
"...Jason... said that...?" Piper nodded. Well, technically she wasn't lying. Jason had transferred from New Rome High to Olympus High, and he had actually said he was excited to see their Olympus' cheer squad do a better routine than New Rome.
Leo seemed to ponder this, thinking it over in his head. Then he finally let out a defeated sound.
"Fine. Where should I go change?"
Jason was visibly upset. Their team was down by many points, losing extremely. The team sat in the bleachers, unsure how to feel. They usually won.
"Jase, what do we do?" Percy asked, sitting next to Jason. He shrugged, taking off his helmet. His hair was all wet, something Leo would probably tease him about.
"There's nothing we can do. Just gotta... suck it up." He sighed. Percy was unhappy with that answer, but didn't ask farther.
The next part of the day was one Jason was looking forward to, the cheer squad's routine. His best friend Piper was the captain, and she was amazingly talented. Percy's girlfriend was on the team too, so he knew they were both excited to see their friends cheering.
First was New Rome High, Jason's old high school. He missed it dearly, but tried to ignore the pang in his heart when he saw his past friends high fiving and chatting with one another. Percy placed a hand on Jason's shoulder.
Hazel was the cheer captain for their school, a routine that was great. Yet it had minor slip ups. Piper had drilled perfect routines into his head, so he could spot these when he watched them perform. Little things, like a beat off, or someone got in the wrong spot. It was still good overall, just not perfect. One of the people on the backsquad was one of his old friends, Reyna. She was someone Piper had always admired... maybe even liked. Her form was amazing, memorized down to the split seconds. Jason could tell she was upset after the act, muttering things under her breath about their mistakes.
Then it was Olympus High. Chappell Roan's "Hot To Go" came on, music blaring around the stadium. Jason felt his face melt into a smile and Percy started jumping up, screaming his girlfriends name. What Jason saw next, he definitely did not expect.
"Is that--"
"Leo?" Percy choked back a laugh as Jason's jaw dropped, his face flushing a bright red. He took off his glasses, tried to clean them, and put them back on.
Leo was next to Piper, his face tinted red. He obviously was embarrassed, but he also looked excited. Nervous. He was wearing their cheer uniform, a red and orange leotard, optionally with a skirt, which Leo was wearing. His messy curls were pulled back with an orange ribbon. Piper looked very happy with herself. She scanned the crowd, extremely confident. Her eyes landed on Jason and she waved. Leo looked and locked eyes with him for a second, before he broke away, face redder than his uniform.
"I bet your mood just got a lot better," Percy teased, watching this whole interaction go down. Jason elbowed his side, but he couldn't deny it. Leo was making him feel a lot better. Percy squealed as he saw Annabeth, waving happily like a madman. She grinned, and waved back. Who are the lovebirds now? Jason thought.
He drew his attention back to Leo, snapping back to his consciousness. Why was he there in the first place? Is he subbing? He looked around to see if there were any missing cheer leaders, and noticed Kelli wasn't there. That was good. Annabeth and Percy really didn't like her. He never found it appropriate to ask why.
Soon into the routine, Leo got very comfortable into the flow of the routine. Maybe too comfortable. Every once in a while, he'd tease Jason by lifting his skirt a little, or winking, which would cause Jason to have to look away and take a deep breath. He even pointed at Jason during the chorus, causing Percy to indefinitely make fun of him.
After the routine, Jason immediately ran down the bleachers, Percy in hot pursuit, to find Piper and Leo (Percy wanted to see Annabeth in her leotard). He found them almost immediately, laughing and giggling with the other cheer leaders. Once Leo caught Jason's gaze, he quickly excused himself. He ran over to Jason, grinning.
"Hey--" Jason pulled him into a kiss, grinning back into it. Leo broke it, gasping as he stood back, shocked and flushed. "Whoa, calm down, Wolf Boy." He teased. Jason giggled into his neck, squeezing him in a hug.
"You look amazing, and you did really well." Leo ruffled his hair, smirking.
"Make you feel better after your football loss?" He muttered, Jason nodding.
"Mhm." He sighed contently. "Exactly what I needed."
