#Corey || Mia

First Day

Today was her very fist day on the new job. Mia had small part time jobs here and there, but mostly she focused on her schooling. That had been the deal with her brother, if she continued to live with him she’d have to focus on school. Mia had kept her end of the deal, but felt it was time to start on her own journey. 

The small bell above the front door jingled, announcing her arrival before she could say any sort of greeting as entered the lobby. Glancing around, she took in the waiting area and then the receptionist desk, where she’d be doing most of her work. 

“Good Morning, Corey.” She spoke sweetly, smiling as he came into view. “I know I’m about twenty minutes early, but I figured I could get a little settled in and drop my lunch off in the breakroom before we start the day. Hope you don’t mind?” It was always good to get there early on your first day, but perhaps this was too early and he was ready.

Fifteen Minutes

Fandom: Teen Wolf

Ship: Mason/Corey, pre-slash Theo/Liam

Summary: Corey and Theo leave for fifteen minutes to run an errand, chaos ensues. Day fifteen of Miya and Mia’s Tickletober: babysitter!

Corey and Theo had been gone for fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes. 

Only fifteen minutes and Liam and Mason had made some atrocity in the kitchen using ketchup, marshmallows, Monster Energy, and raisins. Only fifteen minutes and now they’re on the floor, wrestling like they had when they were kids, watching WWE on the tiny TV screen in Liam’s mom’s old house. 

“You know that I have supernatural strength, right? You still think you can take me in wrestling?” Liam teases once he gets enough momentum to roll on top of Mason, effectively pinning him.

Mason laughs, a glint in his eyes that Liam can’t place. “Oh, trust me, Li, I can definitely still take you.”

Mason’s hands shoot up, attacking Liam’s ribs, and Liam instantly rolls off, landing on his back on the ground while throwing his head back in a fit of contagious giggling. He tries to roll away from Mason but is quickly trapped between his best friend’s knees.

“Mase dohohon’t!” Liam is desperately floundering, trying to get Mason’s hands.

“don’t what, Li?” 

“Tickle me!” 

Mason snorted, shaking his head, you’d think that after years of this treatment Liam would have finally realized the trick. “Well, if you say so, Liam. After all, I haven’t gotten the upper hand in a while.”

Liam snorts loudly when Mason starts kneading his tummy, trying to throw him off but finding that he can’t muster up the strength. 

Liam doesn’t even notice when two heartbeats enter the room until he sees Corey and Theo looming over them. Corey is taking a sip from the straw of his iced coffee, a smile on his lips. Theo is holding his own, smirking in a way that just fills Liam with embarrassment.

“I can’t leave you two without a babysitter, huh?” Corey teases, walking over and bending down to kiss the crown of Mason’s head. Mason closes his eyes, leaning into Corey before Corey pulls away. 

“Aww, is the big bad beta ticklish?” Theo cooed in the voice he would use with a toddler, and Liam makes an attempt at a glare.

“Dude, you don’t even know.” Mason continued to dance his fingers over Liam’s tummy, but he looked up at Theo, a mischievous smile on his face. “This is just the tip of the iceberg.” He accentuated his words with a pinch to Liam’s side, and the boy yelled, bucking up his hips.

Liam stopped trying to fend Mason off in favour of covering his face, which was turning cherry red from the attention and embarrassment. He felt a weird vulnerability having Theo see him this way, helplessly giggling on the carpet. Maybe it has something to do with the way Theo always seems so stoic and unbothered, or maybe it’s for the same reason he finds it difficult to make eye contact with him sometimes.

“Cute.” Liam couldn’t see the soft smile of Theo’s lips, but the tone of his voice was enough to convey the same fondness. Theo nearly felt himself blushing from watching Mason and Liam, entranced by Liam’s adorable giggles and the blinding smile on his face.

“Shut uhuhup!” Somehow, the fondness was worse than the teasing, especially given the rare show of sincerity from the chimera. He couldn’t bring himself to look up, hands glued to his face, and he could tell that Mason could sense his predicament when his best friend’s hands were suddenly wiggling under his arms. “NOHOHO!”

Liam’s arms clamp down to his side as he thrashes, throwing his head in every direction as he giggles madly. Liam feels tears spring in the corner of his eyes, slowly moving down the sides of his face. He tries to beg but his words are incoherent, sputtered, aborted protests leaving him breathless. 

Theo can’t help but stare, Liam’s smile now entirely visible, the corners of his eyes wrinkled as he squints through laughter induced tears. Liam catches his eye and they both look away, a blush low on Theo’s cheeks, and Corey sends him a look that is all too knowing for his comfortability. 

Meanwhile, Mason snakes one hand down from Liam’s armpit, the other still wiggling away, and starts pulling up Liam’s shirt, revealing his tummy. Liam’s eyes widen and he lets out a shriek, kicking his legs but feeling completely weak from the tickling. “MASON NOHOHO! IHIHILL DIHIHIE! MAHAHASON DON’T!”

“Liam, you’ve been shot before,” Mason deadpans, sending Liam a leveling look, “I think you’ll survive this one.”

Liam howls with laughter when Mason leans down, placing a massive raspberry over Liam’s belly button, planting smaller ones on every spot he knows to be sensitive. Tears are freely flowing while Liam screams, desperately trying to roll over or find some relief. His feet and arms bang against the floor, and he is suddenly wishing Mason didn’t know he had supernatural stamina. 

“PLEHEHASE! MAHAHASON IHIHIM DYING!” Liam screeches, trying to push Mason’s face away. He finally gets a bit of a grip, able to hold Mason’s head an inch away from his tummy while Mason continues to attempt to raspberry him. 

“Okay, okay,” Mason laughs, his breath on Liam’s tummy causing Liam to squirm. He pulls away and climbs off, and Liam rolls into a ball on his side. 

“Ohoho gohohod,” Liam giggles, “Ihihive dihihied. Ihihim dehehead.”

“You’re fine,” Theo responds, smirking down at Liam as he continues to giggle, shaking with laughter.

“Noho Ihihim not, Theheo, I’ve dihied.”

Theo rolls his eyes, grabbing the drink he had brought for Liam and sitting criss-cross next to Liam’s head. Liam perks up, looking up at Liam with big eyes. “A frappuccino?”

Theo nods, handing Liam the drink after putting the straw in it. Liam quickly grabs it, moving closer to rest his head on Theo’s thigh. 

“Oh my god, I love you so much,” Liam says as he takes an eager sip from his drink. 

“Whatever,” Theo says, but they all see the way he grins, the way a blush forms over his cheeks. He tentatively runs a hand through Liam’s hair as he drinks, still breathing heavily every few seconds. “I’m totally going to use that against you, just so you know.”

“Oh shut up, I bet you’re just as bad,” Liam says, shooting a joking glare Theo’s way. 

“I guess you’ll never know,” Theo responds with a wink. 

Liam’s cheeks go pink and the two of them continue going back and forth with their bickering and teasing, both of them with sickeningly fond smiles on their faces.

“Maybe it’s time for you and I to run an errand?” Corey whispers, leaning into Mason and taking a sip of his coffee.

Mason nods, leaning into Corey too, “I think you might be right.”

“Something tells me fifteen minutes might not be enough.” Corey laughs.

“Nah,” Mason says with a smile, “I think they might finally have their shit together this time.”

I do not have a Crush

Jann Mardenborough (Movie) x Reader

a/n: Hello guys. I am alive, so please don't be mad about being MIA. School is hectic but finals are almost over. Rich World will continue but will change the title soon. (Yay!) This one is for the Jann girlies!

word count: 2673

warnings: Strong language

Part One

You sat next to Jann as he looked longingly at Audrey, who was chuckling with his younger brother, Coby, and his friends. 

“If you stare long enough, she might just melt.” You sarcastically remarked as you sat beside him, a beer in your hand. Jann rolled his eyes, looked down at his Diet Coke can, and sighed. “Any reason you’re bugging me and not Coby?” 

“No reason. I just wanted some fresh air, and this is my spot, the last time I remembered.” You leaned on the railing, stretching your back as you looked at the friends laughing. “You should shoot your shot. Audrey likes tall guys the last time I remembered.” 

Another dismissive sigh was heard from his area while playing with the can, which he barely touched. “You know that your advice won’t make a difference, right? I heard you had a thing for Corey, yet you still haven’t made moves.” He looked at you with a victorious smirk. A moment passed until the words finally settled in your mind, and retaliated with violence by smacking him on the arm. “Oh fuck off, I was helping you.” He busted out laughing while you walked away to go back to the group. 

That’s how it usually goes when you try to be friendly with Jann. He was always the hopeless romantic, yet he always had a knack for annoying you when it’s just you two. 

The next time you saw him was by the department store. You and Coby had the same schedule that day, and he wanted to go to where Jann works to assert some younger brother dominance thing that you would never understand. You saw Jann’s tall frame putting back women’s clothes as Coby called him over a few aisles down. 

“Jann! Come here!” The loud calls did not go unnoticed by anyone in the store, embarrassing him enough to run to you two and pull you aside quickly. “What is wrong with you, man? I’m at work!” He glared at his brother and hit him on the shoulder. Coby laughed and pulled you in front as a human shield.

“Relax, I just brought her here to shop for some lady stuff. Said she had a date to go to that needed some hot undie set.” You raised your eyebrows in confusion while shaking your head. 

“What? No way? I came here because you said you will mghdnfdg…” Coby clasped a hand on your mouth, muffling your comebacks while he pushed you off to Jann, who caught you and ran away.

“That asshole! What was he up to?” Jann slowly let you go while you balanced yourself, silently thanking him. He sighed and cleared his throat. “Whatever it was, it’s his stupidity catching up to him.” 

You also sighed, having no idea what to do now that Coby left you to fend for yourself. Jann scratched the back of his neck and checked his watch. “Hey, if you’re not busy, maybe ditch buying that ‘set’ and grab lunch with me? I’m done for the day anyways.” 

Your stomach was growling, and you barely got to eat something before coming here, so lunch sounded terrific. “You’re right. I’m starving. I’m craving some sandwiches, so take me somewhere with that, and I’ll pay for our lunch.” He chuckled and walked to his co-worker, probably saying something about leaving now, to which the other guy nodded. 

He turned back with a smile as he removed his vest and threw his arm around your shoulder, dragging you out of the store and to a sandwich place nearby. “Her Highness needs her food!” You rolled your eyes before walking to the counter and ordering your food.

He was such a bastard when it came to food, but he made it up to you by bringing him to where he played that racing game he was so obsessed with. He told you it was called ‘Gran Turismo,’ but you insisted it was a racing game just like every other you’ve come across. It was fun to piss him off, even if he didn’t. 

“Go wider!”

“But there’s a line! That’s the point of the game: you follow the line!” You grip the wheel of the console and glared at Jann. “No, the point of the game is to win.” Jann puts his hands on yours and takes a wider stance on the wheel instead of following the line. You hated his weird obsession with whin, but it was his fault for making you play a game. You heard Dylan call your name from behind while patting your head. “Thanks for going today, love. Seeing Jann so frustrated is such a treat.” He chuckled as he watched the screen of the console. 

The car effectively passed by the others and eventually got to fourth place, but at this point, it was all Jann. He even scooted you over to sit next to you. Brows creased in focus while his hands gripped tighter on yours. You watched the screen as he maneuvered past third place and second. Dylan and some other people gathered around as you two played the game, a sight you were new to. He was always the withdrawn type, but his apparent obsession with this game gained him a small fanbase in this arcade.

Jann held on, his palms sweating while turning and tailing the car in the first place. He hastily turned the wheel and accelerated, making your car and the first placer side by side before he stepped on the gas and made it to first place. The crowd around you cheered while you felt the shoot of adrenaline finally settle in you as Jann fought to keep his spot in first place. 

“Woooh!” You happily screamed out as you saw the finish line. “Jann, don’t you dare lose!” You hear him chuckle as he nods and steps on the gas while the car approaches the finish line. The crowd shushes, and you only hear your heart beating as the time slows. The next thing you know, you saw the car cross the checkered finish line, and the big letters “First Place” flashed. 

Everyone cheered as you both jumped up from the seat, screaming and jumping at him. “Oh my gosh, you’re amazing!” He caught you and gave you a tight hug before setting you down. 

“I mean…You did help so…” You shoved him off and rolled your eyes as a friend of Jann’s came over. 

“Holy shit, bruv, you did it again!” He looked at you and then smirked, “Is this Miss Audrey with us right now?” He offered his hand to you while you took it, giggling. 

“No way, I’m far from Audrey. She’s prettier and dresses simpler. I’m more of Coby’s eccentric best friend, who he ditched.” You took his hand and shook it lightly before sliding it away. 

“My name’s Bryan. And you mentioned being ditched? A pretty thing like you?”

You giggled softly and playfully rolled your eyes.“Y/N. And Jann should totally bring Audrey next time, no?” Bryan poked the boy behind you while he teased Jann about his very obvious crush on Audrey.

The rest of the day went swimmingly when Bryan and Jann offered to drop you off at your flat, getting Bryan’s number saved in the process. Such a flirt, that one. Who would have expected that Jann’s friends weren’t all weird geeks? 

After a few weeks or a day, before Jann got the good news, he was lying on his bed contemplating the trajectory of his life. 

He knew that he had no solid plan for his future, but he was sure it had some good things in it. Driving was his passion, and it was a big deal for him to be somewhat of a driver. He may not have driven any of the real cars in GT, but he knew all of them inside and out. It was meant for him. 

A few taps on his windows suddenly broke his quiet reverie. He slowly sat up and looked at the window, waiting to see if it was in his head or not. 

It was not. 

After the taps became much more apparent, he stood up and slowly approached the window. When he saw you smiling at him, he quickly opened it and let you in. 

“How the hell did you get up from there?!” Jann let you in before checking outside the window. He looked around to see how you scaled his house and saw no decent ledges you could have used. 

“Jannie! So sorry for being an intruder, but Coby was still not in his room, so…” You chuckled as you rambled. 

“Wait, Coby knows about this?” 

You paused and sat down on his bed, giving him a confused look. “Of course he does. I always swing by his room when I’m either high or drunk and wait for it to sober down.” 

His face twisted in an even more confused and worried way while checking his small snack box for water. He opened it before he gave it to you, sitting beside you. 

“Any reason why you’re dressed up, smelling like alcohol and cigarettes on a Wednesday night?”  You giggled while ungracefully handing him back the water bottle. “It’s a thing with my cousin. You know how it is.” 

“Being used like an ATM machine?” Jann interjected with some sass you never heard from him. 

You scoffed and raised your eyebrows. “Coby probably exaggerated the stories! I just don’t know where to spend my money!” He wasn’t convinced and pushed himself up against the wall, tuning you out, perhaps. 

“Ever since you broke up with your ex, Coby noticed that you’ve been partying a lot. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I get wanting to splurge, but you don’t even do it for yourself.” 

“Says the guy who saves up for his set-up. At least don’t be a hypocrite.” Warranting another eye roll to Jann for being a snoopy ass. “Besides, it’s fun. The party was amazing, and so many people were there.” 

“Spare me the details and sober up so you can go home.” He got up and went to his closet only to toss you a sweater when he closed it. “What?” The confusion and delayed effect of the alcohol and joint were there. 

“You are barely covered up. It’s freezing out there, and you have no layers on.” Jann sat on his gaming chair, a nod of plea to put it on without any resistance. 

After the slow, grueling struggle to put it on, the exhaustion hit you. You slowly slid under the covers of his bed. “Jann, wake me up in a few. I’ll nap. The running here must have tired me.” 

“What? You ran here?!” His question was left unanswered as you dozed off.

Jann sighed and draped the covers over your shoulder while setting up a chill late-night cruise on Gran Turismo with his friends. 

Little moments like those were never really forgotten. You just act like it’s nothing and never talk about hanging out with Jann when you two get the chance. It just happens, really. It's not like you’d ask him using a lame excuse just to talk about stuff or do activities together. His leaving you with the dumbest goodbye didn’t even make you feel empty at all. 

It just felt weird in a way. Coby started to practice more since his brother suddenly got into a rich guy’s sport instantly while he had to work hard. Men and their pride will always amaze you. 

You were lounging on your hotel bed one weekend when you got a call from Jann. You slowly deliberated before answering it because, first of all, it was out of nowhere. And secondly, Why? After three more rings, you had the guts to answer it finally. 

“Hello?”

“Took you too long to answer for someone glued to their phone the whole day, huh.”

You rolled your eyes before hearing a slight chuckle on his end. 

“Hello to you too, Jann.” 

“Hello, you. How have you been?”

How thoughtful of him to ask first. “I’ve been well. Although it is a bit fishy that you go radio silent and suddenly call me out of nowhere after a few months and then suddenly talk to me.”

“Always the skeptic.” He chuckled, then cleared his throat. “So um…A little snitch mentioned that you were in Japan, and I flew Audrey out here to spend some time together. We could use the company?”

Wow. That’s a lot to unpack right there. “Okay, what? You and Audrey are an item now? Since when was this?” He was about to speak when you cut him off. “Second, who the hell told you about me being in Japan? Third, of all…Are you proposing a double date?” 

“Hold on, what? Double date?” You groaned and dropped down to your bed when Jann sounded hell-bent on your new love life. 

“It’s just a date. I’m staying here for two months and might as well make the most of it. Answer my questions, too, though!” 

“Okay. Well. Agree to go meet us at this location tomorrow night, and I’ll tell you everything.” 

“Hm. Fine.” 

The call promptly ended with a goodbye before he sent the location of the place where you’d have your double date at. You wanted to think about it a little. The temptation was strong, though. Feeling homesick and alone can really distort a person’s perception. 

You stared at the recent call logs and sighed. You left the app and opened the chat with Tadashi to tell him that date night is now a double date. 

This was the worst idea ever. Jann has been weird around Tadashi ever since you introduced them to each other. It was awkward and tense for the first few minutes, Jann occasionally raising his eyebrows at you. You four were sitting in front of each other in a really nice sushi place that he was recommended. 

“So…Where did you two meet?” Bless this girl. Audrey will always save the day. “Actually, it’s a funny story.” You rubbed Tadashi’s hand as he snaked his arm over your shoulder. You smiled at him as he did the same. “We met at the fish market when I slipped trying to buy some fresh salmon.” 

“No way! You guys, that's so cute.” Audrey smiled at you in excitement. She’s such a good friend, but at the same time, her excitement might confuse Tadashi about your short-term set-up with him. “She looked offended when I asked her for her number, but I guess that noodle shop recommendation put me in her good books.” The three of you chuckled before Jann interjected, “That doesn’t sound creepy at all.” Audrey widened her eyes and lightly hit his shoulders before apologizing to Tadashi and you. 

The passive aggressiveness did not stop there, though. Throughout the whole dinner, Jann always had some weird bullshit about your life ever since his parents dubbed you their ‘Long lost daughter’. It’s just weird that he was the one who insisted on meeting up with you. 

At one point, Audrey decided to call it a night and even bought you some dessert when you paid the bill. It just upset you that Jann never even said thank you or acknowledged anything whatsoever.

Thankfully, that son of a bitch realized his rudeness two days later and texted you. 

J: Hey 

Y: What? 

J: Was a jerk 2 u 

J: sorry :( 

Y: It’s fine 

Y: Tadashi ghosted me. Your fault 🙄

J: U were too good for him n e ways

J: nah. I’ll buy u food

Y: Tomorrow? What time? 

J: I’ll pick u up. Send location 😛

a/n: Part 2??? Steamy part 2?? You tell me. :P

Valentine's Day Wade is back again this year <3

Summary: The reader makes it her mission to get Wade to ask her out for Valentines Day.

Valentine's Day has conveniently landed on a Friday this year. Which means your favorite British commentary man will be working with you tonight. And you plan on making sure he doesn't leave this arena without you.

"Wow, YN. Who are you getting all dolled up for?" Mia comments on the extra time you're putting into your hair and makeup tonight. "You got a hot date tonight?" She asks you.

"Not yet, Mia." You reply with a grin and continue blending out your foundation. "But I don't plan on leaving this arena alone tonight." You add in a determined tone.

Mia walks over to you with an intrigued look and sits down next to you so she can do her hair. "Oh? Who's the target?" She asks you. "Austin Theory? I see him eyeing you up all the time. Or what about his buddy Waller?" She suggests.

"Think older, Mia." You giggle and grab the blush off the table in front of you.

"Ooo, older, YN?" Mia coos. "Let's see..." She starts searching for a name. "Huh, are there any older guys on Smackdown that aren't already married?" She asks you.

You nod and gloss through your lipstick options. "Mhm." You humm. "He's tall, handsome, is a sharp dresser, and has a sexy accent." You drop a few clues.

"Corey Graves?" Mia takes a guess. "Wait, no. He's married to Carmella. And no accent." She corrects herself. "Hmm, I don't know."

You laugh at Mia's frown and finish up your makeup. "Corey was a close guess." You cut Mia some slack. "It's Wade. Wade's the one I'm after tonight." You give her the answer.

"Wade Barrett?" Mia replies. "Oh! Yeah, that makes sense." She nods the more she thinks about it. "Wade is kinda hot. yeah."

"Kind of?" You laugh. "Mia, he is so sexy." You correct her. "I swear it's like he's asking me to jump his bones whenever we see each other before the show." You groan to yourself.

Mia laughs and shakes her head. "Alright, girl. Keep it in your pants for now. When are you going to make your move?" She asks you.

"I was going to sit at commentary while you're out for your match with Shotzi." You explain. "You know, flirt a little, drop a few hints during commercials."

"Alright, smart." Mia nods. "Well, I guess that I better hurry and get ready then. We've gotta get you a man." She giggles.

Mia walks off to get changed and you fit your hair up while you wait.

The time comes for Mia's match and you head out with her since the two of you are normally tag partners. Mia climbs into the ring and wishes you good luck as you head toward the commentary table.

"Corey." You greet Graves first with a friendly smile.

"Oh, it looks like Mia's tag partner, YN, will be joining us for this match." Corey nods to you before glancing down at his notes.

You walk around the commentary table towards Wade and he jumps from his seat to get you a chair. Barrett pulls a chair up as you reach his side of the table and offers it to you.

"Ever the gentleman I see, Wade." You flash Barrett a stunning smile and sit down. "Thank you."

Wade nods and frees up a headset for you to use while Mia's match is underway. You pop the headset on just as the bell rings for Mia's match.

"So, YN, how do you feel about challenging Asuka and Kairi in two weeks for the tag titles?" Corey asks the first question.

"I'm feeling confident as usual, Corey." You answer his question. "Asuka and Kairi are both tough women. But they are going to be no match for Mia and I's raw strength and passion."

Corey nods and goes back to providing play-by-play on the action in the ring. A commercial comes on and you take the opportunity to turn to Wade.

"I love the pink tie, Wade." You comment on the baby pink tie hanging from Wade's neck. "Very festive considering the holiday." You grin at him.

"Thanks..." Wade nods and instinctively glances down at his neck. "You look lovely as well." He pays the compliment back.

The smile on your face grows and you nod. "Thank you. I wanted to dress up a little for the holiday. Just in case I score a date." You add, subtly nudging Wade's chair to gain his attention.

"You don't have a date, YN?" Corey chimes in from the other side of the table. "That's surprising."

"Is it, Corey?" You snark. "Tell me, do you have a date tonight?" You ask him.

Corey rolls his eyes, knowing full well the game you're playing. "My date is at home with our son." He reminds you.

"Right." You nod and turn back to Wade. "What about you, Barrett?" You ask him. "Surely a handsome guy like you has a date?"

"No date." Wade shakes his head and the show comes back from its commercial break.

You smile to yourself as Corey starts recapping what went on in the ring during the break. 'He's got no date.' You think to yourself. 'I've got a real chance now.'

Another commercial rolls around and you get right back to it. "So no date, Wade?" You ask him again. "Like Corey said earlier, now that's surprising." You bat your eyelashes at him a few times with your most charming smile.

"Yeah..." Wade nods and stares at you for a minute.

Mia picks up a win against Asuka and you're forced to wrap up your conversation with the commentary team. You get up from your seat and nod to both men. "Well, that's my cue to leave. It was a pleasure talking to both of you. Especially you, Wade." You wink at Barrett. "Until next time, boys." You wave and walk off.

You walk up the ramp with Mia and head back to the locker room. Once you're both safely tucked away behind closed doors, Mia jumps you for answers.

"So? How'd it go?" Mia asks you. "I heard you spitting game from inside the ring." She giggles.

"I laid all the groundwork I could, Mia." You give her a hopeful shrug. "Wade seemed kind of into it. So we'll see."

Back out at commentary, Corey turns to Wade when there's another break.

"Wade, man. Was it just me or was YN hitting on you the whole time she was down here?" He asks Barrett.

"I believe she was." Wade nods.

Corey agrees and twirls a pen in his hands. "So, you're going to ask her out right?" He asks. "Because she did practically everything but get on her knees and beg, man." He chuckles to himself.

"I don't know," Wade replies. "Isn't YN a bit young for me?" He asks Corey.

Corey shrugs and turns toward his friend. "She didn't seem too concerned about the age gap." He points out, "Look, Wade, do you like YN? Think she's pretty?" He asks Wade.

"Well, of course." Wade nods. "Who wouldn't? She's bloody beautiful if you ask me."

"Then go find her after the show and take her out," Corey replies. "Pay for some drinks and a nice dinner. Then take her back to your hotel room like a gentleman and screw her brains out." He teases Wade with a grin.

Wade whips his head around and glares at Corey who just laughs. Wade grumbles something to himself under his breath, but Corey doesn't let up.

"You know you want to." Corey eggs Wade on.

Later in the night, you are just about to call it quits and head back to the hotel with Mia when someone knocks on the door. Mia laughs as you nearly trip in your haste to answer the door.

"Yeah?" You crack open the door as casually as possible. "Oh, hi, Wade."

"Hey, YN." Wade looks down at you leaning in the doorway. "You mentioned earlier that you didn't have any plans tonight, right?" He asks you and you nod. "Right. Well, it'd be a damn shame if a girl like you went without a date tonight. So if you'd like, I'd love to buy you dinner." He asks.

You nod while internally screaming to yourself. You did it! "Yeah! Dinner sounds great, Wade." You smile at him. "Just give me a second to grab my bag and jacket."

"Alright." Wade nods and watches you shut the door on him.

Barrett leans against the wall and waits for you to come back out to meet him. As he's waiting he barely makes out the sound of two girls squealing in delight and he can't help but smile to himself. You come back out into the hallway a few seconds later calm and composed. But Wade knows better.

"You ready to go?" Wade asks you.

"Mhm." You eagerly nod.

Wade nods and offers his arm to you. You giggle and take it before the two of you walk off. "Right this way then, love." Wade leads you off, Corey's comment swimming around in the back of his mind.

It is Valentine's Day after all. So why not?

The thing about Liam and Mason being compared to Jackson and Danny is that their roles, upon being introduced, are identical, but their core personalities and motivations are wildly different.

(For the sake of my analysis I’m going to disregard seniority)

Liam is a Jackson clone in that he’s introduced as lacrosse captain competition to Scott. He’s also got extremely similar physical features. And while Liam and Jackson arguably both have anger issues, it comes from different places. Jackson is about self-loathing and perfectionism while Liam is about disability (let’s not get into how it’s handled). They begin to differ greatly when you consider Jackson is actually very sharp and perceptive (eg immediately knows Argent means silver in French) while Liam is more oblivious and naive (eg his whole thing with “I fell in a hole”). Their arcs are also inverse of each other once the initial season 4 lacrosse conflict ends, with Jackson at the top needing to learn humility and with Liam at the bottom needing to learn leadership. If your fic needs an asshole smart jock ready to be knocked off his pedestal, you can use Jackson, but if it needs a locked in chihuahua with a bone to pick, you’d go for Liam.

Mason is a Danny clone in that he’s the gay PoC best friend to the white boy feuding with Scott. They’re also both technically the brains of the friend duo. Danny is a hacker pro with technology (an aspect of intellect that Jackson is not proficient in) while Mason loves to study and learn (the bar is very low for Liam and not just because he’s short). Where Danny and Mason begin to differ is in their willingness to cooperate with other people. Even though “everyone likes Danny,” Danny is shown primarily as reclusive and cynical, keeping his secrets tight to his chest. Meanwhile, Mason is an outgoing extrovert who’s able to get his entire freshman year to arrive at an impromptu lake house party with a single text. He also consistently tries to help others with the knowledge he gains (eg contributing kitsune lore for Kira, leading a Physics study group for Corey, etc). On a narrative level, Danny is reluctant to participate in the plot while Mason takes over the pack detective role in season 6A after Stiles goes MIA. If your fic needs a lone wolf superbrain, your best bet is Danny, but if it needs a social cinnamon roll information sponge, that’d be Mason’s expertise.

Summary: AJ Styles on commentary during your match with Mia Yim.

•Aj Styles x Reader•

Standing against a wall in gorilla, I start doing my breathing exercises watching the TV waiting for my match. I catch a glimpse of Mia Yim and look down really quick. I hear her snicker and I look up at her with a very serious face.

"What are you looking at?"

She goes to walk towards me and I lunge forward at her trying to punch her. Me and Mia have never gotten along since we have met each other. We are always butting heads and trying to attack each other. Luke Gallows grabs Mia by her waist and pulls her away from me. I feel a strong pair of arms wrap around my waist pulling me away from Mia.

"Woah woah woah! Save it for the ring ladies!"

I look over my shoulder to see AJ Styles is holding me back. He lets me go and walks infront of me.

"Save this fight for the ring."

I cross my arms and look at him still having a serious face. Their music hits, he pokes my nose, smirks and walks out with the rest of the OC.

"I'm going to get you Y/N!"

Mia yells at me before she walks out with the rest. I sigh rolling my eyes and get ready for the match. I put on my sunglasses as my music hits and walk out making my entrance.

_______________________________________

As I'm walking down to the ring, I see AJ on commentary. I stop at the ringpost closes to commentary, look up at Mia standing in the corner staring me down, smirk and walk over to AJ.

"What is she doing?"

Michael Cole is trying to talk to AJ. I bend down a little bit infront of him, take my sunglasses off and put them on his face smirking. He watches me smiling the whole time. I can hear Mia screaming at me. I turn around, wave at her and start laughing really hard. I climb in the ring and get ready for my match.

________________________________________

*AJ's pov*

"AJ what was that?"

I fix the sunglasses on my face looking over at Michael.

"I'm not to sure Michael. It was cute. Whatever it was. I got some super cool sunglasses though!"

"But AJ, why would Y/N give you those anyways?"

Corey turns and looks at me smirking. I look over at him and roll my eyes.

"She is just trying to get under the skin of Mia before the match started. That is all."

I go back to watch their match and I see Y/N take a really nasty bump.

"Oh that did not look good."

_________________________________________

*Y/N's pov*

Sitting in the corner against the bottom turnbuckle holding my shoulder, I feel a tear roll down my cheek.

"Y/N are you okay?"

The ref is holding my forearm trying to get me to answer. I kick my foot towards him trying to get him to go away. He backs off and I try to stand up using only one arm leaning my hurt shoulder against the turnbuckle. Mia comes running over and dropkicks me making my shoulder slams against the top turnbuckle. I scream dropping down to the mat on my knees holding my shoulder.

"Y/N, are you okay? Do you give up?"

I swing my arm at him making him back up shaking his head.

"You have no quit! Do you Y/N?! Well im going to teach you to stay away from my group bitch!"

Mia grabs my hurt arm and puts me into an armbar really stretching my arm out. I start screaming really loud kicking my feet from all the pain I am in. I can feel stuff ripping in my shoulder and arm. I bite my hand not wanting to tap out but I can't move towards the ropes. I tap out hoping that she will let go. The ref rings the bell but Mia still has me in an armbar really tighten her grip hurting me more. I start grabbing her leg trying to get her off me still screaming in pain.

"Mia get off of her!"

AJ comes into the ring breaking the hold pulling Mia off of me. I roll over to my side holding my shoulder starting to cry hitting my feet against the mat. Her music plays and I feel her roll out of the ring. Suddenly, I feel a hand on my side rolling me onto my back very gently. I look up to see AJ's gorgeous eyes looking down at me with my sunglasses on his head. He looks really concerned about everything that just happened.

"Y/N I am so sorry. I didn't know she was going to do that to you. I should have stopped the match a long time before she decid....."

I grab his hair pulling him down and kissing him hard. He kisses me putting a hand on my face.

"AJ WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

I pull away looking over to see the rest of the OC on the outside of the ring staring at us. You can tell Mia is very pissed off yelling at us. Aj stands up and helps me up onto my feet. He walks over grabbing a mic and flips it in his hand looking back at the rest of the OC on the outside.

"Luke, Karl, Mia. I would like you all to welcome the new member of the OC. Y/N."

I look over at him wide eyed shocked that he said that. He looks over at me and smiles really big. I can hear Mia freaking out and Luke and Karl cheering for me and Aj. I grab the mic out of Aj's hand.

"Thank you Aj. But I am going to decline."

I toss the mic at him, climb out of the ring and start walking to the back still holding my shoulder.

_______________________________________

"Well Y/N. I have some bad news."

Laying on the table in medical, I sigh not wanting to hear bad news.

"You have a torn rotator cuff. You will have to get surgery to repair it. I am so sorry."

The doctor leaves the room and I start to cry very faintly bringing my knees to my chest. I hear a knock on the door thinking it's just the doctor coming back but when I look up, it is Aj.

"Hey Y/N. Are you okay? What happened?"

He comes over to my side and puts a hand on my shoulder. I start to cry some more leaning my head into his hand. He leans down and puts his head ontop of mine and starts rubbing my back.

"Y/N. It will be okay. Take a deep breath."

I look up at him tears pouring down my face. He takes off his shirt and wipes my face with it. I take a deep breath still looking up at him.

"I have..... I have a torn rotator cuff and I need to get surgery on it."

I start crying more again putting my head down.

"Hey hey hey."

He lifts my head up by my chin to look at him.

"We will get through this together. I promise."

"We?"

Aj starts scratching the back of his neck looking really nervous about something. I keep looking at him waiting for him to answer.

"Well Y/N..... I was wondering if..... you would like to go on a date sometime.... and ya know..... be my girlfriend...."

The way he stutters his words made me giggle. He looks at me with a big smile on his face.

"Aj... I would love to go on a date with you."

"You would?! Oh my goodness! I was so scared you would say no. I have had a crush on you for a few years. I think you are an amazing wrestler and you have a style like mine. I thought we could be like tag team partners some day. Wouldn't that be......"

I grab his face and kiss him hard making him shut up. He puts his hand on my face deepening the kiss even more. I pull away and look at him.

"You talk to much when you are excited."

He blushes and looks down putting his shirt back on.

"Yeah it happens when I'm excited. Because now I have you and that makes me the happiest man alive."

I giggle and hear a knock on the door. I look over and see Mia, Luke and Karl come into the room. Mia walks over to me looking really upset.

"Y/N I am so sorry for what I did to you. I know that AJ has had a crush on you for a few years now and I tried so hard to not have you two get together because I don't want you hurting my best friend. In the process, I hurt someone that AJ really loves and that hurts even worse to me. I am really sorry. I hope we can be friends and hang out sometime."

I put my hand on her shoulder and smile.

"Mia I would really like that. Oh, me and Aj are dating now too."

Luke and Karl started cheering and Mia gives me a light hug trying not to hurt me.

"Don't start cheering to much. I don't know how much hanging out we are going to do. I have a torn rotator cuff. I need to get surgery like right now. So me and Aj need to get to the hospital."

Aj helps me off the table wrapping his arm around my waist. We walk to the door and the rest follow us outside to the car.

"Alright. Time for the hospital."

Me and Aj get in the car and he drives me to the hospital to get my surgery done.....

for the oc ask game: 🍀💀🎯 for corey rook? :3c

🍀 What originally inspired the OC?

Corey was originally a self insert. They were my first playthrough of FHR, and I didn't know what kind of character I wanted yet. They pretty quickly morphed into what's best described as "my teenage angst personified". They've done a lot of evolving into their own distinct character since then, but the roots are still just me giving my inner child a face and a redemption arc. Made my sidestep the kind of hero 14 year old me needed to see. 10/10 accidental therapy seeing Corey realize their self worth over the course of the story.

🎯What do they do best?

Jump to conclusions

Self expression. They might not share everything on their mind in a talk-about-your-feelings kind of way, but they wear their heart on their sleeve to the point that its detrimental. They hold nothing back. Their villain reveal at the end of retribution was inevitable, they cant maintain enough of a mask to be anything but Sidestep. It might make for a shitty secret identity, but at least their authenticity garners them a lot of sympathy. Their fan club eats it up, Mia Ochoa thinks they're still a hero, and both Chen and Ortega are wondering if they have a good point. So the rebel with a cause angle is working out for them at least.

💀Does your OC have any phobias?

Took the definitions straight from Wikipedia lol. Also, putting this one under a cut for discussion of medical trauma and related issues.

Corey has a lot of anxiety and irrational fears. The worst of them stems from their farm trauma. Iatrophobia - fear of doctors and medical tests.

In very close second place due to the heartbreak incident. Acrophobia - fear of heights.

If we leave out those standard sidestep fears, the next worst is pseudodysphagia.

Pseudodysphagia, in its severe form, is the irrational fear of swallowing or, in its minor form, of choking.

The severity of this varies for them depending on their stress levels, but on their worst days they struggle to eat and drink, even smoking or touching their mouth can be a trigger when it gets bad. It stems from their farm trauma. Primary cause being that Corey, like many red heads, is resistant to anesthesia, and has woken up mid procedure more times than they can count. Being conscious while intubated left a lasting impression on their gag reflex.

Love how Corey Dorris plays a well-intentioned, caring dad to Mariah Rose Faith Casillas in The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals, and then he plays a bastard dad to her in Nerdy Prudes Must Die. It's called range baby and it also gives me whiplash. Solomon Lauter would never get Steph tickets to Mamma Mia, the bastard, and he'd probably do something really bad if she were a lesbian. However, I believe he would tell her to date someone like Grace Chastity (whether or not she at least is nice to him at church).
