After finding a job at Coyote Ugly, Steve is thrust into a family dynamic he's been searching for forever. Check out Chapter 2 to see Steve settle in with his new coworkers. Catch up with Chapter 1 here.

The entire table burst into raucous laughter, immediately lessening Steve’s embarrassment. Though they were laughing at him, Steve didn’t feel weird or made fun of. Whatever Nancy asked obviously wasn’t that important. Everyone forgot about it in favor of cackling madly. The otherwise empty diner echoed the noise, making Steve’s stomach warm. It’d been a while since he existed amongst genuine happiness and he missed the feeling.

“Joyce said you walked into your interview with your hair all done up. This floppy mug isn’t what you’re always sporting?” Eddie asked after the laughter died down. He was playing with the orange peel he’d gotten with his juice, spinning it between his fingers as he spoke.

It took Steve a moment to blink away from the hypnotic view of orange and white twinning together before he could actually answer. He reached up to run a hand through his loose hair. The strands were soft, not dry and crunchy like always. “Nope. I usually use half a can of hairspray to make it look artfully messy. I’m trying something new.”

Eddie, without hesitating one bit, shoved his hand across the table to tug on the loose hair falling over Steve’s forehead. “I like it. Makes you look rugged.” Eddie enunciated the word by winking. The look had everyone around the table laughing again. Before joining in, Eddie shared a secret smile with Steve; his lips quirked so devilishly, Steve forgot the cackles around him were at his own expense.  

The rest of the meal went a lot like that, Steve talking while the rest of the group laughed or groaned or clapped back with a reply. Steve told his new coworkers about his small town life and all the tribulations he’d been dealing with since getting to the city.

They all had pretty similar stories, where their happiness didn’t exist until Joyce’s bar came into the picture. It was interesting to be surrounded by people who stepped away from everything they knew on the off chance that making it big just might happen. Steve felt less silly sitting around the table with others not afraid to reach out and attempt to touch the greatness waiting for them.

Lyrics:

Under a lover's sky

Gonna be with you

And no one's gonna be around

If you think that you won't fall

Well just wait until

'Til the sun goes down

Underneath the starlight, starlight

There's a magical feeling so right

It will steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist

Try to hide from my kiss

But you know, but you know that you

Can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart

But you know, but you know that you

Can't fight the moonlight, no

You can't fight it

It's gonna get to your heart

There's no escaping love

Once the gentle breeze

Weaves its spell upon your heart

No matter what you think

It won't be too long (not too long)

'Til you're in my arms

Underneath the starlight, starlight

We'll be lost in the rhythm, so right

Feel it steal your heart tonight

Don't try, you're never gonna win, oh

You can try to resist

Try to hide from my kiss

But you know, but you know that you

Can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart

But you know, but you know that you

Can't fight the moonlight, no

You can't fight it

No matter what you do

The night is gonna get to you

Underneath the starlight, starlight

There's a magical feeling, so right

It will steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist, try to hide from my kiss

But you know, but you know that you

Can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart

But you know, but you know that you

Can't fight the moonlight

No, you can't fight it

Songwriter: Diane Warren

You can try to resist, try to hide from my kiss

But you know, don't you know that you can't

Can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart

But you know, but you know that you

Can't fight the moonlight

No, you can't fight it

It's gonna get to your heart

Based on this I headcanon that he can see Sukuna's true form with his six eyes

For my own sanity I refuse to believe he died without seeing it.

And it would explain why he was doing this shit

He was feeling extra horny

That first pic is crazier than I remember what the hell!! there were definitely some go.yuu shippers in the studio 😭

Whenever he does it Sukuna is always the topic too lmao

Actual True Form Sukuna would NOT have survived Gojo I'm TELLING YOU!!

Shonen jump can't handle that kind of "fight"

It's funny because if he can actually see him, then he was just having a staring contest with Sukuna here while Yuji was asleep. asjfgdhdjjsk

Imagine being Sukuna and you finally reincarnate after a thousand years, but you're trapped in this body you can't control and can't understand WHY?!! then this strong guy comes and gives you the first ass beating of your life

then he binds the hands of the body you're in and drags you inside this candle let room.

He has a crazy amount of cursed energy and he keeps staring at you with his freaky eyes from under the blindfold for god knows how long.

and then he suddenly smashes your finger into the wall and keeps talking about how you're gonna be executed asjdjdkskks

I bet he was talking to Sukuna and annoying the fuck out of him while yuji was asleep too lmao

hollie just sang the oompa loompa song and got to the part where she said "i've got a puzzle for you" and then went "oh my god. cluemaster is an oompa loompa." the secrets DC don't want us to know

Ever wondered what a Steddie Coyote Ugly AU would look like? Steve is a bouncer at the notorious club while Eddie lights up the bar with his combat boots and easy dance moves. Read to find out why you just can't stop the moonlight.

Steve didn’t really understand the gem of a place he was in until an hour into his shift when the lights went down, the bar’s residual noise vanishing with them.

“Ladies and gentleman,” Joyce said from the far end of the bar, holding a microphone to her lips. “It’s time for my favorite portion of the evening. I know everyone’s here for a good time, so let’s get the party started.”

Steve watched as everyone in the bar clapped loudly, almost on cue. That died down the moment music started to play. It was a tune that Steve didn’t recognize, something kind of country, though dark and eerie, too.

“First up on the bar is Fancy Nancy,” Joyce shouted into the microphone, making everyone cheer.

A spotlight jumped to the bar where a pretty brunette was climbing up to stand atop of it. She was wearing a bright colored dress that flowed like water down around here. As she spun, the wide skirt flared up and moved with her. Nancy pirouetted one more time before landing perfectly in her chunky cowboy boots. She looked up and smiled at the crowd, flicking her hair at everyone playfully.

The light cut back to Joyce who was grinning from ear to ear. “Up next is our long legged bombshell, Robin!”

Unlike Nancy who moved with grace, Robin clambered up onto the bar, slamming her cowboy boots against the surface. She wore jeans that hugged her legs, leaving nothing to the imagination. When Robin moved, her body demanded the eye’s attention. She didn’t need a flowy skirt or loud colors to draw focus. Robin danced with a precision that made it hard to look away.

The next two girls were announced with the same fan fair, though Steve wasn’t nearly as mystified. He was starting to shift his attention back to the crowd to actually do his job when the atmosphere changed completely. The crowd started to stomp their feet in that boom-boom rhythm that Steve recognized from one of Queen’s most famous songs. The clap followed, yanking a happy laugh from Steve’s chest.

Joyce’s voice got serious as she pointed to the large gap on the bar the crowd was anxious for her to fill. “Last but most certainly not least, one of Coyote’s favorites, our dark horse, the devil in black – Eddie!”

Steve’s eyes widened as the most beautiful man he’d ever seen jumped onto the bar. His hips and mile long legs were covered in black leather that clung tighter than Robin’s jeans. Unlike the rest of the crew on the bar, Eddie’s feet were covered in combat boots that moved each time Eddie slammed his foot on the wooden surface. Narrow hips were framed by a leather vest that was barely tied together, showing off Eddie’s stomach and chest. His long curls shifted uncontrollably around him as Eddie spun on his toes, light as air.
