[michael-langdon-appreciation]

Loved part 12!!! How long do you think it’ll be till 13? No pressure though :))))

It’s finally here, it’s been an absolute joy to write the Runaway Saga. When it began I had no idea that it would take off and so many of you would love it so much. We have an epilogue left to go but it’s nearly time to bring the story to a close. I’ve loved writing Jim, Duncan, Michael and Y/N. It definitely won’t be the end of the foursome, but all good things must end. 

I hope you enjoy, I had to admit I was emotional writing this. 

(Does contain giving birth)

PART 13

MICHAEL 

Her screams rip through me as I fight back the tears. ‘Come on my darling, you can do this.’ He grits his teeth so hard they crack, never breaking eye contact with Y.N. Her hair is glued to her forehead in sweaty strands, her chest heaving. 

‘GET THEM OUT OF ME MICHAEL!’ 

‘We will!’ He roars back, ‘You’re almost wide enough. Is that what they even say?’

‘I DON’T KNOW!’

‘Fuck!’ His hands shake, both hovering above Y/N round stomach. Her screams are raw as the contractions come hard and fast, ‘Ease up baby please.’ He begs, ‘You gotta let her live! Please! You can’t make the same mistake I did.’ 

There’s a brief pause and Y/N lifts her head. ‘What’s happening?’

Michael listens intently, ‘I….don’t know.’ His hands rest on her stomach, Michael’s magic flowing throughout her. 

One heartbeat. 

And another…fainter. 

‘Give your twin a chance.’ Michael whispers, tears tracking down his cheeks. ‘You’ve gotta ease up. You’re ready babygirl, just let them come.’ 

Y/N’s back snaps upwards as she screams loud enough to make the windows rattle in their panes. ‘MICHAEL!’ 

The door bursts open. Michael can’t even deal with the problem if he wanted to. 

He has to make sure they live. 

‘OH FUCK!’ 

It’s Jim, sagging against the door at the scene before him. Michael’s got Y/N propped up in bed resting against a mound of pillows. She’s gripping the sheets tight enough to nearly rip them. Duncan barrels into Jim, sending them both careening into the room. 

‘What’s happening.’ Duncan demands, ‘Are they both alive!’

‘At the moment.’ Michael answers, ‘Let me do this.’

‘If you hurt my kid-’

Michael sends Jim back against the wall with a push of his hand. ‘I AM TRYING TO FOCUS!’ 

Duncan collects Jim, wrapping his arm tight around Jim’s waist for support. Both men kneels beside Y/N and she squeezes their hands the moment they’re within her reach. 

‘I don’t know how you’re here but thank god you are,’ She grits out.

‘They’re early.’ Duncan murmurs, ‘It isn’t time yet.’

‘I know!’ Y/N’s tone is full of frustration, ‘And I can’t even get to a hospital I have to let the Antichrist be my midwife!’ 

Michael shoots her a scowl, but then he hear it.

A little girl’s voice, sweet and as melodic as a chime. 

‘I’m ready, daddy.’ 

‘Okay Y/N you need to start pushing.’ Michael’s voice is full of authority as he clocks both Jim and Duncan too. ‘It’s time.’ Jim and Duncan wince horribly as Y/N crushes their hands. Her voice strains awfully as she tries to push with every ounce of her strength. ’Keep going!’ A headache is forming between Michael’s temples, the strain of sending healing magic to his Y/N a constant battle. ‘You’re doing so well.’ 

‘You can do it.’ Jim joins the barrage of encouragement, ‘You’ve got this Y/N. I’m so so sorry for all the shit I’ve put you and everyone through.’ His eyes flick to Michael, ‘You too. Just save my kid!’

‘NOT THE TIME JIM!’ Y/N screams as every single one of her muscles contract. 

‘I can see a head,’ Michael declares. ‘One more big push, Y/N.’ 

The baby’s body appears, slimy and beautiful. Michael gathers the child at once, running on pure instinct as Duncan darts round to help him. 

‘I saw them cut the umbilical chord in a medical drama.’ He says, brandishing the scissors. ‘I know how to do it.’

‘GET THEM AWAY FROM ME.’ Y/N screams, still very much feeling the pain. 

Jim’s eyes are glued to the baby, ‘Whose…is it?’

He waits for the chord to stop pulsing, ‘Cut it now.’ 

Duncan does as instructed, making clean work of the job. ‘I hope you sterilised these scissors.’

‘Do you think I’m an idiot?’

‘GUYS!’ Y/N’s head flops to the side, a tear making it down her cheek as Jim wipes it away. ‘Is they baby okay?’

The little one’s eyes flick open, large ocean blue eyes meet Michael’s own. He feels the bond immediately as he towels off the little one, ‘She’s here.’ He says, ‘Our little one.’ 

There’s silence as everyone waits. Michael wraps his little girl up and passes her over to Duncan. He can’t be selfish now, he must be ready to act. 

‘Where….where is-’ Jim begins as there’s an almighty scream from Y/N. 

Michael dives back into action, reaching out to feel for the heartbeat. ‘They’re coming!’ He cries, ‘The heartbeat is strong.’

‘I CAN’T!’ Y/N screams, ‘IT HURTS!’ 

’We need another sweet child, my love.’ Michael coos, pushing all his magic into her. 

Jim looks on the verge of passing out and Michael can’t blame him. Between Y/N’s screams, his baby girl’s first cries and Duncan’s mantra of encouragement it would be enough for anyone. 

Excitement builds in Michael’s heart, his baby listened. 

Jim’s child is gonna make it. 

The child enters the world screaming, his lungs full as his eyes open, tiny arms flailing about. Tears fall fresh down Michael’s cheeks, ‘It’s a boy.’ He announces, ‘Healthy and alive.’ 

Jim is by his side in milliseconds, peering over Michael’s shoulder. ‘Oh my god.’ He whispers, eyes filling with tears. ‘He’s here.’ 

Duncan passes over the scissors, ‘Do the honours, Jimmy.’ 

Jim snips the chord and slips his baby boy into his own towel. Duncan brings Michael’s baby over to Y/N as the Antichrist takes a well deserved collapse onto the floor. ‘I….promised you.’ He wheezes, ‘I’d….succeed.’ 

‘You did.’ Jim nods, swaddling his baby. ‘I don’t even know if this is right, can we call someone now?’

Y/N has taken her little girl into her arms, ‘She’s so beautiful.’ She breathes, her expression awestruck. ‘Hello, baby girl.’

‘Did you ever think of a name?’ Duncan asks, his eyes soft as he gazes upon the child.

They haven’t discussed names, but Y/N answer comes as if she’s always know. ‘Miriam.’ She says, ‘I want to call her Miriam.’ 

If Michael had been crying before, it was nothing compared to the tears dripping down his chin now. ‘You…wanna call her that?’ He staggers to his feet, ‘I can’t think of anything better.’

‘Miriam Medina Langdon.’ Y/N says, her voice leaving no room for argument. 

Jim cracks a smile, ‘It’s perfect.’ 

——————————————————————————————-

JIM

His baby is here.

This tiny potato-like miracle is his. 

Jim can barely stand as he passes over his baby to their mother. Y/N takes the baby boy into her arms, passing on Miriam to Michael. The Antichrist is besotted already, he won’t remove his eyes from the child, nodding along occasionally. Jim is certain they’re already having their first non-verbal conversation. 

Duncan rests his head against Y/N’s, ‘He’s got your eyes, Jim.’ He notes. ‘The same shape and colour.’ 

‘But Y/N’s smile.’ Jim says, ‘Her beautiful beautiful smile.’

Whenever Y/N smiles at him it’s like seeing the sunrise on a new morning. 

‘You need a name for him.’ Duncan presses, ‘Now he’s here in the world.’

Jim hasn’t thought of a name. He didn’t fully believe his child was gonna make it, nevermind a name. 

‘Uhhhhhhh.’ He wracks his brain, searching the room for inspiration. 

He’s got nothing.

‘Any ideas?’ He asks the room, ‘I’m open to anything but Adrien.’ 

The room thinks, well Duncan thinks alongside Jim. Y/N closes her eyes, getting a few moments of precious peace. Michael’s far too enraptured with baby Miriam to notice anything else in the room. The witches could have come in, magic wands blazing and Michael would remain where he is cooing over the infant. 

Duncan’s fixated on Michael too, ‘Jeffrey.’ The words come out a whisper, not fully realised. 

His words bring Michael out of his stupor, ‘What was that?’ 

‘Give Jeffrey his chance now.’ Duncan’s eyes flick to Jim, ‘It’s…poetic I guess.’ 

Jim mulls it over, as Michael pushes away more tears. ‘Would you…like that Michael? It wouldn’t be…too much?’

‘Nothing would give me greater joy.’ Michael says, ’You can do what I couldn’t, Jim.’ 

‘And Miriam kept her word.’ Duncan pushes, ‘She let him come into the world.’ 

‘Jeffrey Mason.’ Jim knows it’s right the moment it’s said aloud, ‘Why not?’

‘And it ties us all together again.’ Y/N pipes up, pushing her hair out of her eyes. ‘That’s all I’ve wanted.’

Jim nods, ‘I’m sorry how I’ve reacted-’

‘You don’t need to be sorry.’ Michael cuts him off quickly, ‘I was the one who kidnapped Y/N.’

‘Yeah,’ Duncan frowns. ‘It doesn’t put you in the good books.’

‘I knew you would terminate her.’ Michael holds his child to his chest, ‘I…couldn’t let that happen.’

Duncan claps him on the shoulders, ‘We never should have even thought about it. We should have trusted you.’ Duncan pushes Michael’s hair behind his ears, ‘I for one, will never misjudge you again.’ 

‘So…where do we go from here?’ Jim’s voice has gone timid, ‘No offence Duncan, but we can’t have two babies at your apartment. Plus, it doesn’t look like Jerome is leaving anytime soon.’ 

‘The beach house.’ Duncan answers, ‘It’s got enough space for us all.’

‘But what about being in the city for work?’ Y/N counters, ‘You’re big plans to run for Mayor.’ 

‘I think that can wait till I’ve spent some time with my family.’ Duncan smiles, ‘Besides, people are far more likely to vote for married men with children.’ 

‘Would you come with us?’ Jim asks, ‘I know words are easy to say and not mean but…I really do want you in my life. In all our lives.’ 

Michael considers it, he’s lost in thought as the Antichrist peers down at little Miriam. ‘I don’t know if I can watch you marry Y/N.’ He admits, ‘It might be too much for me.’ 

Jim can see the slight crack in Duncan’s facade, ‘Oh.’ 

‘But I’d like to try.’ Michael says quickly, ‘I want to see if we can make it work.’ 

Miriam gurgles in the Antichrist arms, she reaches out towards her brother, straining to be closer. Michael brings her over and seats the baby girl beside her twin and Miriam settles at once, ‘Doesn’t look like Miriam wants to move away from her brother,’ Y/N notes. 

Jim grins, ‘Looks like you’ll both have to stay.’

How to Pretend to be Normal

Last night we were joking about @heliocentricgeometric‘s Zira being absolutely terrible at people skills and how Tony might help her out with that. We spontaneously started a RP that just grew. @the-grey-hunt has already said it’s canon for one of the 2 nights we camped before ending up at the caves that we ended our Session 1 at.

There’s a mention about employers getting kidnapped by goblins at the beginning but that was said before we figured out when this was taking place. Tony and Zira are the only two awake as everyone else is sleeping and we’re on night-watch.

I’ve already decided I’ll probably fic this but that’s not going to be published for a little while because of spoilers on Tony’s background. I just really want you guys to know that Tony is literally plotting murder.

D&D Campaign RPs

**

(Read more for mobiles users!)

Zira ( @heliocentricgeometric): You mean people don't want to hear all about death??

Tony (me): I'm sure they do but there's a time and place for it, you know? Also depends on the kind of person. ...Actually just keep quiet on that until the other person brings it up. But the weather is always a good topic! And spells, too. But don't give away trade secrets

Zira: The weather can kill you if it gets bad enough though.

Tony: And smile; people like that. Yeah, don't mention that. Sometimes people don't like to hear the truth. Just think of happy, fun things! And fluffy.

Zira: Uhhhhhhh, happy things liiiike the approval of others?? The love of a family?? The overwhelming fear of failure pushing you to do better???

Tony: ...

Tony: Tell me your best joke.

Zira: Uh

Tony: Take your time. Best jokes are the ones that aren't five second afterthoughts.

Zira: There was this joke my friend told but it mostly made me uncomfortable

Tony: Yeah?

Zira: It was about this guy being tortured who thought he would be freed if he gave them the answers they wanted. The joke is that he died when he outlived his usefulness.

Tony: (thinking crap)

Zira: Haha?

Tony: Um...let's...not go with a joke. I'm sure that joke will find its target audience somewhere but it is not here. Actually, use that next time we fight some bad guys. It'll go down like a lead balloon there. For added effectiveness say it from behind Rhodey.

Zira: Ok, so here are the forbidden topics: torture, death, terrible happenings, crime in general--

Tony: Yes, yes, yep.

Zira: --murder? Is that a small talk?

Tony: No.

Zira: Jobs?

Tony: Definitely not. 

Tony: ...Yes! Depending on the job!

Tony: Don't talk about that time we almost got our employer kidnapped by goblins. That doesn't speak well for us.

Zira: It’s standard to not talk about assassinations so I got that down

Tony: That's great.

Zira: I mean if he got kidnapped then that speaks more about how he’s not good enough to protect himself.

Tony: That's...irrelevant to the topic but sure.

Zira: if I ever got kidnapped I know no one would come after me.

Tony: Aw, honey, that's not true. I know for a fact DJ would be first in line and I'd be right after him

Zira: ??? That’s just procedure

Tony: Definitely not our procedure.

Zira: What???

Tony: Yeah? We're a team, Zira. That means we stick together. And if you ever got into trouble or stuck somewhere you shouldn't be we'd get you out.

Zira: That seems like a waste of resources and time, if an operative can’t function solo then they have failed.

Tony: That's a crappy way of looking at people. No one is a waste of time or space.

Zira: If they have a purpose, then yeah.

Tony: And if someone says that, then they deserve a good kick in the head.

Zira: Huh.

Tony: No, you don't need a purpose to be valuable. You're valuable for being you

Zira: Does that mean I should kick Ms. Payne in the head?

Tony: I have no idea who Ms. Payne is but I guess? If she said that, then yes.

Zira: She’d probably kill and/or make me hurt a lot for disrespect. ...I find your advice suspect.

Tony: ...Yes, she deserves all the kicks in the head.

Tony: Actually, where does Ms. Payne live? Just out of curiosity.

Zira: I don’t know; she left after finishing the first stage.

Tony: Too bad; I would have loved to have sent her a card telling her all the ways in which she was wrong. Ms. Payne, huh? Tell me more about her.

Zira: That is one of the ballsiest things anyone has ever said to me.

Tony: I haven't even gotten started, buddy.

Zira: Ms. Payne was my caretaker!! She encouraged me in all the ways that I needed to be encouraged. She was very lenient, too, even when she caught me sneaking into the library.

Tony: Oh yeah?

Zira: And sneaking food.

Tim (aka Bo/Bill via @thechaoticwave): *wakes up* Sorry, what is this about?

Tony: Shhh. Go back to sleep

Tim: Oh okay, sorry.

Zira: I was hungry and so was my friend and she only smacked me a little bit, AND let me keep the food.

Tony: Um

Tony: How often did that happen?

Zira: Oh y’know. It was a training thing, we had to learn how to deal with lean times, or not having access to resources. So they kept us on the edge of starvation for a while

Tony: ...oh yeah.

Zira: Ms. Payne said I did a good job of being creative and fighting for my food.

Tony: That's...totally reasonable.

Zira: She said that willingness to break rules to do what needs to be done is good.

Tony: Creativity's a good thing. Depends on the rules

Zira: Honestly i was just hungry though, and I hated seeing Meri so sad. It was hard to dance when she was so hungry, and she loved to dance. So...

Tony: You got her food. That was a brave thing to do, Zira.

Zira: ... Thank you

Tony: But that must have been tough. And that definitely wasn't fair on you or your friends. You were kids. Kids shouldn't have to worry about that. No matter what you are or where you're from

Zira: We were special.

Tony: Aren't we all?

Zira: We were meant for something. And they helped us on that path.

Tony: ...yeah, I've heard that, too.

Zira: But I’m scared they were wrong. I saw things that weren’t right. But what were we doing, if not the right thing?

Tony: You were doing what you had to. Tony: I've only known you a few days now, but I know that you're a sweet kid. I know that you care for others and that you're trying. You wouldn't have done anything unless you had to.

Zira: ....

Tony: There was only so much you could do as a kid.

Zira: Thanks. You seem nice, too. And you seem like me. Kinda like you’re running.

Tony: I guess we all kind of are in a way. We're all similar like that. And nice? I guess I'll have to turn in my street cred cards

(DJ aka @doxblogsstuff rolls over in his sleep and snorts, then mumbles "Bombs" then starts snoring.)

Tony: (snorts) That kid over there? Blew up a few things at his school. Didn't quite fit in there either. I ran into him getting into trouble. You want to guess what?

Zira: Did he blow something up?

Tony: That was too easy.

Zira: He seems like the type

Tony: You think, huh? Yeah, and then he just followed along after me.

Zira: He blew up a library.

Tony: ...Wait, really?

Zira: Who does that?

Tony: I didn't see any explosions.The last library he blew up was his university's. 

Zira: He said he set off something in a library.

Tony: Ah, yeah. That'd be the one.

Zira: And supposedly murder is bad so I didn’t do that.

Zira: But seriously.

Tony: ...Okay, I'll be honest and say it depends on the type of murder and also DJ's school got used to his explosions.

Zira: A library?? That’s such a safe place, with so many areas to hide.

Tony: Or as used as they could be. Yeah, libraries are quiet, aren't they? Lots of places to hide; lots of things to do. Things to discover… Or blow up in this dummy's case.

Zira: Stuff to learn! Knowledge is power, the more you know the less they can hurt you.

Tony: Yeah, knowledge goes a long way in helping that.

Zira: Get everything right and everything will be ok.

Tony: Or as okay as it can be. I'm never going to say it'll be perfect, but it'll be okay somehow.

Zira: But a lot of the stuff they said was wrong, so can I ask: Is it normal to beat kids as encouragement to do better?

Tony: ...No.

Zira: Violence seems frowned upon, so I guessed so

Zira: Why? It seems to work fine. It worked on me.

Tony: Look, I'm going to be honest again and say sometimes violence gets you places. But what kind of places those are might not be good. But it's never okay to hurt a kid.

Zira: Huh. Ok. So there’s a lot to unpack there.

Tony: You say it worked on you. What do you remember about what happened?

Zira: I was a coward, or forgot things, or did something else wrong. And then they hurt me. Not enough to take me out, but enough to serve as a reminder to do better.

Tony: ...

Tony: Would it be fair of me to say that when they beat you, you were scared to have it happen again?

Zira: Of course. I was scared a lot

Tony: I bet you were. And when you're scared, sometimes you make mistakes. Especially when you're so scared you can't think straight.

Tony: But let's picture this. You do something wrong. Say you messed up in a spar. And instead of beating you, Ms. Payne instead tells you that it's okay. Everyone makes mistakes. This is what you did wrong and this is how you can do it better next time.

Zira: I...

Tony:  Would that have been better than what actually happened?

Zira: It would have hurt less.

Tony: And you would have learned from that mistake, wouldn't you?

Zira: I don’t know.

Tony: That's okay. You don't have to know right now. But please believe me when I say that you didn't deserve any of that.

Zira: Logically, the brain functions less efficiently when in pain, as it is dedicating most energy to handling that pain. So it leads to more mistakes, whiich is why torture is so effective. They’re more likely to let something slip out, or do anything to make the pain stop. But pain also imprints in your mind more.

Tony: ...yeah

Zira: It’s intense and ensures you never forget how to make it stop, how to avoid it. But I would have liked to not have been hurt.

Tony: No one wants to be hurt. But you remember that first thing you said? “The brain functions less efficiently when in pain.”

Zira: Yes.

Tony: How did she expect you to learn if you were in pain?

Zira: I don’t know.

Tony: I don't either, Zira. But I do know that you're something else to be sitting here in front of me.

Zira: I--

Zira: Thank you.

Tony: It's no problem, kid. And even if you don't believe me now, and you don't have to, I hope you think about it. And if you do ever happen to remember where Ms. Payne ran off to...let me know? I'll make sure we steer clear of her.

Zira: I will. I appreciate it, as if she ever knows where I am in light of some things that have happened it would probably be quite dangerous to go near her.

Tony: ...Thanks for telling me.

Zira: It’s no problem :), and I hope whatever you’re running from turns out ok, too.

Tony: I know you haven't known me long, and you've probably only heard whatever stories DJ told you, but trust me when I tell you that I'm not going to let anything happen to you.

Tony: ...Thanks, kid. I hope so, too.

Tony: By the way, you said you like libraries, right? You ever want a conversation with someone, books are a good way to do it. People love a good story. Just, er...tone down the murder and the facts about what happens to bodies.

Zira: I LOVE talking about libraries; that is officially my Small Talk.

Tony: Then that's what you'll talk about when you meet someone new, all right?

Zira: Yeah!

Tony: But after introducing yourself first. And asking them how they're doing.

Zira: (mentally taking notes)

Tony: I've been reliably informed it turns people off if you start talking immediately about something else.

Zira: But also, I’ve noticed that people have second names? That designate what clan/family they belong to.

Tony: Not everyone. Bo...or Bill, I guess, doesn't have one.

Zira: So if I introduced myself it would not be abnormal to not include a last name?. Seeing as I don’t have one.

Tony: ...I mean this in the nicest way possible, but the most abnormal thing about you would not be your missing last name.

Zira: Actually, can numbers be last names? I have an operative number that I could use.

Tony: ...what...is it?

Zira: Yes, i have been considered unfit for infiltration due to my appearance.

Tony: Unfit?

Zira: And inability to "shut my fucking mouth."

Tony: Well, you certainly stand out in a crowd, but that's a good thing! ...sometimes Actually, ignore that last bit

Tony: I've never heard of anyone with numbers for last names. It'd probably be a little unusual. But if you really want a last name we could come up with something.

Zira: I don’t want a number last name, so I will go to a library and look for a list of last names. The number makes me feel very small, and I don't know why.

Tony: That sounds like a great idea. Let me know if you want help with that.

Zira: Ok! It seems I have a lot of choices, which is nice. I may run some by you, if that’s all right.

Tony: Oh yeah. There are loads of options. And I’m here for you in that case. We all are. But for the love of God, don’t run them by Bo. Bill, I mean. That bird has no sense in names

Zira: He has so many names. I didn’t know someone could have that many names.

Tony: Neither did I and I have two.

Tony: By the way, DJ stands for Dummy Junior and don’t let him tell you otherwise.

Zira: It WHAT

Tony: Oh yeah.

Zira: (immediately lunges over to DJ)

Tony: No, no, don’t wake him up. Do you want explosions?

(Zira freezes in place)

Tony: You can ask him in the morning.

Zira: But I have to know. This is the best thing I think I’ve ever learned.

Tony: Well, he probably wouldn't tell you immediately. It took me several bribes of bombs and some candy to get him to 'fess up.

Zira: Who names their child Dummy?

DM ( @the-grey-hunt): (somewhere, in another universe, Tony sneezes)

Zira: And the junior bit implies there is a GROWN MAN WITH THE NAME DUMMY.

Tony: Honestly I have no idea but I'm sure I don't want to run into DJ's dad.

Zira: Ohhhh my god.

Tony: Or maybe he was just so small that they had to add the junior bit.

Zira: I would laugh in his face which would absolutely get me punched.

Tony: In your groin, probably.

Zira: Oh my god

Tony: He can't jump that high.

Zira: I called DJ a little man when we first met.

Tony: Ooh yeah.

Zira: Which he was not happy about

Tony: That would do it. I mean, he's small. But best not to bring that to his attention unless you want a lecture. Candy doesn't quite seem to do the trick...

Zira: Candy?

Tony: ...are you telling me you have never had candy?!

Zira: What is candy??

Tony: I don't have a simple answer for this other than really good food. I mean, it can be sweet and sour?

(Tony is rummaging around in his pack.)

Tony: So I guess it depends on what your preferences are. Me, I like sweet. But I occasionally go for sour, too.

Zira: Sweet?? I know sour is like lemons.

(Tony pulls out bag of candy, which is mostly chocolates but there are some rock candies as well.)

Tony: Do you like lemons?

Zira: I got some lemon juice poured on some wounds once.

Tony: ...god, why

Zira: It tasted terrible.

Tony: Nothing sour for you, then.

Zira: It might’ve been the blood though. Training of course.

Tony: Wait, did you taste the lemon or the blood?

Zira: Gotta know how to deal with torture and such. Something definitely tasted bad

Tony: ...I wish I didn't understand the reasoning behind that logic damn it

Tony: Okay, here's something sour. Since lemons can taste nice and I'm not having your taste of lemon be spoilt by blood, which definitely tastes nasty. Unless you're a vampire; I don't judge...much.

Zira: :o

DM: (Zira is handed a single Ye Olde Sour Gummy. It’s the blue and red one.)

Zira: (face kinda twists up) Why would someone want to eat this?? It hurts?

Tony: ...Definitely not sour, then. Some people like it. Try the chocolate?

DM: (the chocolate's a little melty; backpack temperature)

Zira: (lights up)

Zira: !!!!!! This tastes so nice!! Is it magic??

Tony: (laughs) Close enough, I like to think.

Tony: Okay, so chocolate is a hit. You're my type of girl. There's also this. It's a kind of rock candy which is great for sucking on.

Zira: :D! They should’ve just used this to get us to do good.

Tony: Just let it sit in your mouth and roll it around your tongue. Unless you have super tough teeth, in which case I guess you could just bite it in half. But the fun is in letting it sit on your tongue. It's great for long hikes. 

Tony: Yeah, chocolate goes a long way in bribery. Would've worked wonders when I was a kid.

(Zira has sharp teeth, and when she grins you can see how they shimmer like mother of pearl. She’s grinning and her face is covered in chocolate and every unearthly thing about her is in sharp relief.)

Tony: (entirely unfazed) Yeah, your teeth are super sharp. Let's not bite it in half. I have more where that came from but you need to enjoy it.

Zira: You are now officially one of my favorite people. I wish Meri could have some of this.

Tony: I would be significantly more impressed by that if I didn't know what kind of people were in your past.

Tony: You could keep some to take to her if we ever run into her? ...Or maybe not that bit in particular because it'll melt for sure.

Zira: I don’t know if that’s a good idea. She’s still loyal. I ran and left her behind and now she’s probably mad at me and under orders to bring me back dead or alive.

Tony: You were friends, weren't you?

Zira: I can’t believe I left her behind. God. I just ran.

(Tony slowly goes to sit next to her.)

Tony: How old were you?

Zira: I’ve lost track. Less than a year ago...so around 17. I received a sign and I panicked.

Tony: You panicked and you ran. You didn't think, did you? You just had to get out. You had to be somewhere else because where you were wasn't right.

Zira: Yes. Yes, that’s exactly it. How did you know?

Tony: I know something about that kind of panic. It just grabs you and doesn't let you go. And you're left scrambling for what's broken.

Zira: I was afraid for so long, but I thought… I thought I could be brave, that I could be strong for Meri. But then...

Tony: But then?

Zira: I left. I went out on my first real mission, and we got deep into the forest, and I collapsed and woke up with the realization that I had to leave. And I did, unthinking and terrified.

Tony: There was nothing else? ...That sounds difficult. And your friend...she was still in the forest?

Zira: She should have finished the mission.

Tony: I don't know the details, and I'm not asking you to share everything. I know it's difficult. But your friend... She was your friend?

Zira: And continued taking orders, so. ...Yes

Tony: You two trusted each other?

Zira: She was everything. We protected each other. I stole food for her, and she helped me fight. I helped her with writing and reading when the instructors called her stupid. She defended me from our more sadistic classmates.

Tony: ...

Tony: (sighs)

Tony: I don't know Meri the way you do. I don't know if she would have gotten a sign like yours either. But from what you're telling me? Do you think she would trust the people she's with now, or do you think she'd trust you? Do you think that after everything you two shared that she'd just abandon everything?

Zira: I don’t know

Tony: I don't either.

Zira: She hated them. She fought back a lot at first and they broke her. And now… I don’t know.

Zira: She still tried to keep me safe, but she got worn down and down and down.

Tony: But she defended you.

Tony: That happens. But she had you. And I know - I know you said you left her behind.

Zira: Yes. I knew how worn down she was. I knew she needed someone to hold her up, keep her back safe. And yet…

Tony: I can't tell you what she felt when that happened. What she thought about it. But the kind of bond you described...that doesn't go away so easily. It can't. So if you ever meet her again...maybe...maybe things aren't as bad as you think they are.

Tony: And yet...

Zira: I think I’d like some chocolate.

Tony: Yeah, me, too.

Zira: Just in case.

Tony: Sure thing. It'll probably melt before, but I've got more

(Tony does hand the bag to Zira.)

(It's his entire stash)

(Zira lights up)

Zira: This is all for me??

Tony: ...Let me take the sour ones out first

DM: (there’s 2 slightly chocolate stained sour gummies left)

Zira: I didn’t do anything to earn this, why… (And she droops a bit)

(Tony pats her shoulder)

(Zira starts to kind of, push it back towards him)

Tony: Lesson 1, kid. You don't have to earn presents. You get presents for being you.

Zira: Presents????

Tony: This is a present. A slightly melted present but a present

Zira: :D!

Zira: Presents are great!!

Tony: That they are. Just don't give any to DJ. They're wasted on him. Bombs are the way to go if you want to bribe him. Also Rhodey likes a chocolate but you can't give them to him.

Zira: I will keep that in mind. ...It’s getting late.

Tony: Yeah.

Zira: We should probably hand the shift off. And, Tony?

Tony: Hm?

Zira: Thank you. Thank you so much.

Tony: ...you're welcome, Zira.

Zira: Goodnight, friend.

(Tony is rather speechless) 

Tony: ...yeah, goodnight. Sweet dreams.

Tony: ...Also, don't sneak too much chocolate before you sleep. It'll give you a stomachache.

Zira: Gotcha :)

WIP folder

The Rules: List the names and a short description of all the files in your WIP folder, then tag some fellow writers to do the same.

anitra @allwaswell16 tagged me to do this because i said i didn’t want to lol i’m going to list them in order of likeliness that they’ll get written lolllll

anon fic. this fic is anonymous so uhhhhhhh it’s about louis and harry and they fall in love

distant future sci fi au. this is the fic idea i just had yesterday. it’ll be nonlinear which is going to be a pain in the ass for me because it’ll involve doing things a certain way and this fic is not the boss of me. i don’t want to spoil anything, but i’m thinking it’ll be both povs as well. in my head it’s not enemies but like..... general disdain to friends to virtual strangers to friends to lovers, but who knows what will happen when i start writing lol. hmmmm what else can i share without spoilers...... harry and gemma are like geniuses. oh! and louis leaves earth (and harry) and doesn’t come back (this fic could literally never happen lol i haven’t written one word)

graphic design is my passion louis. this fic is based on a prompt uhhhhh hold plz..... the next to the last prompt in this post. i have a few k already written idk why but i need this art student louis, history student harry au.

vampire!harry. well i wrote 20k+ for this and decided i didn’t like it and wanted to start over. the story in my head is greeeeeeeat. like really good. nice and safe and in my brain where nothing will happen to it lol

tshu2 which is titled ‘the drum beats out of time’ but isn’t written yet lol. i have a partial time line and a partial outline but that’s it. 

not groundhog day au. welllll it’s like the movie groundhog day, but on xmas eve instead. harry pov. idk if it will work. he’s got to be an actual asshole in the beginning soooooo. i want to write it though just because i think it’d be super interesting to see him fall in love with louis in the 24 hour time loop lol because they start out as basically hating each other.

other sci fi au. original sci fi au lol. i started this fic like 2 years ago??? is that right? holy shit. anyway i wrote a few k on it and decided i didn’t like the way i’d written it, so i’m pretty much scrapping it and starting over. but i love the idea for this one. it’s unusual and i want to write it probably second to the new sci fi au. 

tiny 3 which is started as tiny 2 but lol i decided to change it. this is the one where harry is a photographer who does coffee table books. and louis is an architect. have a few k on it but got stuck, so hopefully changing that one little thing will make a difference when i sit down to write on it again

dws 4.... idk why i have this listed as 4 in my spreadsheet when there are already 6 fics in the series on ao3. ANYWAY this is the fic that takes place like a week or 2 after chapter 8 in dws. i was initially doing all of the timestamps from harry’s pov but i want to do this one in louis’ pov. harry goes up to spend the weekend with louis, meets niall, etc etc etc. have a few words on this lol literally like one paragraph

rocky horror au- title: science fiction, double feature. community theater puts on rhps. louis wants to be frankenfurter but niall casts harry instead. hate to love. etc etc. i have a few hundred words on this. 

camper fic / porch louis. honestly really want to write this one but idk if it’ll ever happen. i combined 2 fics lol. camper fic tag is here. but a lot of that’s changed. louis isn’t famous for one thing. hmmmmm..... the porch louis part of it was inspired by the song shy by leon bridges

broken fang vampire!harry and dentist!louis (it’s as stupid as it sounds lol)

nirvana karaoke fic. based on uhhhhhhhhhh harry singing nirvana karaoke. it’s their 25th hs reunion. that’s........... all i’ve got

traveling fic. i have zero written for this but ideassssssssssssss. for like 2 years i’ve been thinking about it. they’re newly dating. harry’s been planning a year long trip around the world, so wasn’t trying to date anyone but wooohoooo louis came along like idk 2-3 months before harry’s trip starts. harry asks him to drop everything and like quit his job and come with him. 

i’m going to stop there because there are more but mostly just ideas for fics. 14 is enough and i’ve probably left one off that i’m actually already writing but forgot about. tagging @halosboat @horsegirlharry @catfishau @sometimesambroswrites @velvetnoodle @indiaalphawhiskey

To all my Anonymous Avengers, 

If you want to react in my asks, feel free. However, I won’t be answering any of them until at least Wednesday if they contain spoilers. 

Thank you,

Duke would know what to do. He’d know about one of Boone’s safehouses in the city or he’d have a way out. 

He always did. 

You relaxed back at the thought until you turned the corner and your eyes widened. 

There was a veritable army surrounding Duke’s building. 

No. 

You blanched, panic began to build through your body as you backed away. 

He knew. Wraith knew everything.

He knew everyone. 

He’d done it. 

He knew where Duke was. He knew where Boone was. Hell, he probably knew exactly where every single person on Alpha Two was. 

You were alone. 

You were isolated. 

He’d won. 

Your heart dropped, dread dripped through your veins.

It was an ambush.

                                 Chapter 4: Lighting the Fire Reaction  

                                                    -LONG POST-

ITS SO COLD IT BURNS SO GOOD. (?????)

THE FASTEST IVE PROBABLY PUT OUT A REACTION POST BECAUSE HOLY SHIT BALLS, MOM.

“You wait here, I’ll go check if the coast is clear.”

Yang is totally not buying into your bullshit, buddy.

Better get ready, just in cas-. THE GLOVE. AND THE ASS CAPES ARE COMING OFF.

You know what would be neat? Since Yang is kind of the ‘tank’ in the group, her new arm could use like, oh I don’t know, maybe a small shield?

“I can’t believe you were dumb enough to let me lead you here.”

Sorry buddy, but you’re the dumb one for leading her there.

They’re scared of the small barrel popping out of her right arm? I’d be more terrified of her, oh, I don’t know, HER OTHER ARM WITH A BELT FULL OF SHOTGUN SHELLS???

…Or maybe they’re all surprised because “OH, IT’S ALSO A GUN.”

LOOK AT THIS STRUT.

See, a small shield would be nice, but I guess she’s still fending off the bullets.

This string and percussion version of I Burn tho.

LOOK AT THIS BAKUGO ASS MOVE THO. APPROVE.

AND THEN THIS SLOW GUITAR OF ARMED AND READY.

You mess with the wrong bird, and I don’t mean Yang.

Ruby, please, you can-

RUBY, YOU LITTLE SHIT.

AND AT THIS MOMENT, OSCAR KNEW, HE FUCKED UP.

SMASH.

“You forgot to engage your aura, again.”

“WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?!”

“Because this method makes you less likely to forget.”

I mean. Oz isn’t wrong. But.

“Not bad, Ms. Rose. But Oscar doesn’t have the years of training that you do. Or I do.”

HACKS ON. ENTERING THE AVATAR STATE.

THIS IS WHAT FEAR LOOKS LIKE. AT THIS MOMENT, RUBY KNEW. SHE WAS GONNA GET FUCKED UP.

YOU’RE A THOUSAND YEARS TOO EARLY TO BE FIGHTING ME. 

Like. Literally a thousand years. Or more. Cuz Ozpin is apparently fucking immortal.

Sometimes I feel like everyone should rewatch the episode just for like, not necessarily screen shots, but to look for frames like these. Like. Even though it’s a straight forward shot, this is a nice shot.

Does anyone else do this in real life? I mean the whole talk and look at the person with one open eye thing. Me only? Ok, let’s just. Keep moving forward.

Idk why, but when Nora said Ren’s semblance can mask emtions, I immediately started playing Reflections from Mulan in my head. It really has nothing to do with the fact that Ren is supposed to be designed off of the idea of Mulan. Or maybe I did subconsciously. Hm. The song has NOTHING to do with his semblance either! Brain, what are you doing.

Two songs from Mulan in 2 review posts. And I haven’t watched the movie in ages.

WHOOOOOOOOOO ISSSSSSS THAT GIRRRRRRRRLLLLLLL I SSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE-

MORE POSITIVE REIGNFORCEMENT RUBY. YES.

5 Volumes in and we get an in-show description of what Semblances are. I know they talked about it in the World of Remnant shorts, but they were just that: Short. It’s nice to have it actually explained in the show since not many of us watched the short seri-

“Oh. Struck by lightning, didn’t die, Crazzzzzzy Thursday/”

NORA. PLEASE.

“Unlocking your semblance isn’t the end. It can still grow and evolve.”

HMMMM.

Just because Ruby.

THEY’RE. THEY HAVE GOT TO BE WITHIN 50 FT OF EACH OTHER BY THIS POINT.

OK. She’s opting for the stealth escape route.

THE LITTLE *DINK* SOUND EFFECT IT MADE. OMG. HAHAHAHA. YOU CAN DO IT LITTLE BUDDY. YOU’RE DOING GREAT.

“So after all this time, you decided to visit me.”

Mother- What?! YANG DIDN’T EVEN KNOW WHERE YOU WERE. IT’S NOT LIKE YOU WERE AT A RETIREMENT HOME OR SOMETHING?

“They started it.”

I heard this and was like “HAH. Like how a kid would try to make an excuse to their parent.”

“I’m not here for you. Ruby is somewhere in Mistral. She’s with Qrow and she’s going to need my help. I just need you to take me to her.”

You know, I get the feeling that a lot of people are gonna be like

“YOU FINALLY FOUND YOUR MOM. THE PERSON YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR, FOR YEARS. AND YOU’RE JUST GONNA ASK HER TO TAKE YOU TO RUBY? DON’T YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY OR ASK?”

I do feel that to a certain extent, but at the same time I feel like Yang may also have grown out of it. Whatever the reason she had for looking for her mom before isn’t the same now. Yang obviously has questions for Raven, but she also knows how important it is to find Ruby, and she probably feels like that outweighs whatever personal things she has with her mom, it just so happens that Raven was also the answer to finding Ruby.

And besides. Yang now knows where Raven’s camp is. I suppose she could just come back, albeit she may not be welcomed with open arms. Or arm. Just the one. I’m sorry.

“Because we’re family.”

OHHHH, GET FUCKED, RAVEN. Your own daughter throwing that sarcastic shade at you.

So we’ve seen what Raven’s semblances is, but not how it works, until now. She ‘bonds to certain people’ and can make warp gates to them. Yang says that she has her, Tai, and Qrow marked.  Yang also says to teleport her to Qrow, NOT Ruby. It could simply be that Raven had no reason to mark Ruby as someone to teleport to, or maybe it’s because Raven can only teleport to people that are close to her: Her Family.

That begin said, Raven seems to not like the whole family thing since she does say “Family - only come around when they need something.” Maybe her semblance was found due to the opposite nature of her personality. Having a semblance that literally takes her back to her family when she has such disdain for the idea does raise a few questions. But I’ll leave it at that.

Yeah. The way her face was animated and sass she threw in with her words. Badass/Evil mom status.

Before we move on I just want to know: What the fuck is that thing on her head? Like. I get it. RAVEN. FEATHERS. BUT LIKE. WHAT. IS THAT? Is it just like one giant super long hair extension or is that literally all part of her hair?

I laughed. SO HARD. At how long this shot was held for. Like.

Oh. Hi. Uhmmm. Uhh. Hello?

“Yang?????”

“…WHYiss you here?!”

THERE IT IS. FIRST CONTACT. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-

THE ILLUSION OF CHOICE IN VIDEO GAMES: CHOOSE STEALTH OR BUST OUT? OH YOU CHOSE STEALTH? TOO BAD, YOU’RE GOING TO BUST THE HELL OUT.

YASSSSSSS. IDC IF YALL HAVE SEEN GIFS AND SCREENSHOTS OF THIS ALREADY, THIS IS V IMPORTANT.

W: “What are you doing here?”

Y: “Well. That’s my mom. And she can take us to Ruby.”

-Slowly taking in what Yang just said.-

“That’s my mom.”

“That’s…

My….

…mom.” ?!?!?!?!?!?!

“… uhhhhhhh”

 Never in my life have I thought I would hear those words. In any form of media.

Also let’s not forget that Raven straight up curb stomped Weiss in the face.

W: “YOUR MOM CURBED STOMPED ME. SHE KICKED ME IN THE FACE.”

Y: “… YOU DID WHAT!?”

Weiss’s knight could EASILY cleave through half that camp at that size. Jeez.

Spring Maiden putting a halt to this BS.

Weiss giving that stern anime look and pose.

“If you’re really going after your sister, then you need to know the truth.”

HMMMM. OKAY. SO HERE’S ANOTHER CHOSE YOUR ADVENTURE MOMENT:

So we know everything’s that been going on with Salem and Cinder and Ozpin and yaddie yaddie yadda. So once Raven tells Yang and Weiss everything, what’s going to happen? Are they still going to regroup with Ruby and join her with Qrow to fight against Salem’s assault on Haven with the White Fang? Or are Weiss and Yang going to try and convince Ruby to pull away from Haven because shit is about to get real and they shouldn’t haven’t to deal with it?

I HIGHLY doubt that Raven is going to tell them about how literally the Spring Maiden is within the camp grounds. But if she does, then??? Do the 2 of them stay? Or will Raven teleport Yang and Weiss, just to then later pick up camp and move to a new location? Cuz by then EVERYONES gonna know who and where the Spring Maiden is.

SO MANY POSSIBILITIES. 

YES. FUCKING. FINALLY. YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. ONE OF THE MANY MOMENTS WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

I TEAR UP. EVERY TIME. AND IT DOESN’T HELP THAT THE BACKGROUND SONG IS “HOME”.

-UGLY HYSTERICAL SOBS-

I maybe reading into this too much, cuz you know, emotions rising, and with knowing the lyrics to the song, I want to talk about the symbolism in this last shot.

Weiss has gotten quite a bit of development coming from Volume 4 to now. And in my opinion, it started all when she was able to successfully summon her knight. 

After being told she was no longer the heiress to her family’s company, she was held against her will to stay in her room. As soon as she was able to summon her knight, she decided to take action. She was able to escape with the help of Klein. He was probably going to be the last trust worthy person she knows that she’s going to see in a while. Even while doing so, she’s had her guard up the whole time because she knew she’s no longer in a safe place. All the way up to being captured by bandits, she still shows initiative to get out. 

Then she reunites with Yang. She has finally found someone she cares and trusts. Someone she probably considers as part of her family, the family being Team RWBY. So the knight fading away in this last shot is visual representation of Weiss finally letting her guard down because now she’s with family. AND WHERE DO YOU USUALLY FIND FAMILY? HOME. THE TITLE OF THE SONG THAT’S PLAYING. AND I JUSTLKSA:LSKDJA:SLKJDWOIASK jEXCUSE ME WHILE I GO REPLAY THIS SCENE FOR THE REST OF TIME UNTIL MORE OF THE TEAM GETS BACK TOGETHER.

TL;DR: Weiss’s knight fading away at the end of this scene is the visual representation of  Weiss finally letting her guard down now that she’s found Yang; a team mate, a friend, a person she might consider as family.

But I may just be reading into this too much. I MEAN HOW COULD YOU NOT?

GIVE ME THE NEXT EPISODE, PLEASE ;A;

P.S.:

I SUPPORT

SMOLS GETTING HUGS FROM SWOLS.

[zens-ponytail]

How are you? I hope well! Can you do a rfa+v and Saeran having to do seven minutes in heaven? Like honestly not even as drunk just sober. (Requests aren't open;-; but maybe later? Also I rlly love your blog like I'm most done with the masterlist^°^)

Author’s note: I hope you guys like this!!!! i’m still rusty ok it’s been awhile edit: I FORGOT V AGAIN someone please send in a request that says “add v” so I remember to edit him in here

Yoosung

“You wanna play cards? I broughtthem with me so we wouldn’t be bored!!”

Does he… Does he really not know what we’re supposed to be doing?

You looked down at Yoosung, whowas already on sitting on the floor shuffling the deck

“Lemme guess… you’ve never playedSeven minutes in Heaven.”

Yoosung paused for a second beforeshaking his head

You sat down next to him andsmiled

He’s so cute…

“So what game do you wanna play,MC?”

But then again, this ISSeven minutes in heaven

“Strip Poker.”

Yoosung’s face turned bright red

“H-Huh? Strip?”

You smirked

“I’ll start.”

In one quick moment, your shirtwas thrown across the room

“Okay, now you’re turn.”

Yoosung who had now achieved anew shade of red blatantlystared at your chest

“I-I… uhh, w-well-“

“SAY SOMETHING, YOU IDIOT!!!”

What the hell?

Yoosung looked behind you

“I think it came from the otherside of the door.”

You stood up and opened the closetdoor, and in tumbled Zen and Jumin.

“So,” you crossed your arm andlooked down at the two very guilty looking boys, “You wanna explainyourselves?”

The two of them began stutteringout excuses

“W-Well Yoosung’s never playedbefore-“

“-I heard you were taking off yourshirt-“

“-And I thought he might needguidance-“

“-So I wanted to hear the rest.”

You glared at them

“First, Jumin don’t be a perv, andsecond-“

“We were in the middle ofsomething.”

You looked back at Yoosung, whohad taken off his shirt

“And now that MC and I are even, I’dlike to get back to the game.”

Despite the confidence behind Yoosung’swords, his face was as red as ever

You turned back around and smirked

“You heard the man!”

Jumin and Zen slowly got up, bothmumbling curses under their breath.

You closed the door behind them

“Now, where were we?”

In the end the two of you endedup stripping to your underwear and then just playing go fish for the rest ofthe time

Zen

“W-What? I can’t be in a closet alone with MC!! How will I controlmyself?”

You walked over to the closet andgave Zen a smirk

“Who says you need to?”

0.1 seconds later Zen was standingin the closet how the hell did he even get there so fast???

You closed the door andturned around

“So,” you clapped your handstogether, “Show me what you got.”

Zen smirked

“You sure you can handle it?”

You raised an eyebrow, “I thinkyou already know the answer to that.”

Zen smiled

“This is gonna be-“

Was all Zen could get out beforehitting his head on the light

“Ohhh s-shittt…”

You rushed over to Zen, who wasnow bent over in pain

“Are you okay? Do you need ice?How bad does it hurt?”

Zen looked up at you with hazyeyes

“Slooowww down, youuu’reee talkingwayyyy toooo fast!!!”

I’m not sure what’s more concerning… Zen’s slurred speech or the giantlump forming on his forehead.

“We need to get you out of hereright-“

“NO! I want to give you… seven minutes…in…….”

THUD

“UHHHHHHH, GUYSOPENTHEDOORZENJUSTPASSEDOUT.”

“He did WHAT?”

Jaehee swung to door open, hereyes immediately traveling down to unconscious Zen

“What happened to his face? Andwhy is the closet light busted??”

The rest of the RFA stood behindher, patiently awaiting your answer

“Well,” you looked down at Zen andsmirked, “I guess he unleashed the beast a little too early.”

Jaehee

As soon as Jaehee closed the doorshe sunk down to the floor and sighed

“Finally… peace and quiet.”

You nodded, sitting down next toher

“Who the hell let Seven DJ anyways?”

Jaehee laughed, “I don’t know, butit was a horrible decision.”

It would’ve been fine if he just turned the damn the volume down…

You looked over at Jaehee, who wasresponding to an email on her phone

“Work’s got you pretty busy, huh?”

She gave you a sarcastic glare

“Doesn’t it always?”

The two of you began ranting aboutJumin and the rest of the RFA

“I mean, does he think I’m justmade out of cat toys? He can’t keep-“

“Wait… Jaehee?”

“Yeah?”

“I think our seven minutes are up… Did theyforget about us?”

Jaehee checked her phone

“It’s been 12 minutes,” she lookedback over at you and smiled, “so I think it’s safe to say they have.”

The two of you exchanged glances

It’s so nice in here…

“You wanna stay?”

Jaehee’s eyes lit up

“I thought you’d never ask!”

She set her phone down and yawned

“I think… I’ll take a nap.”

You reached up and turned thelights off

“Sounds good to me.”

You stared at the ceiling, waitingfor the drowsiness to hit you

That was when you felt somethingwarm slump on your shoulder

You looked over at Jaehee and shegave you a sleepy smile

“Do you mind if I use you as apillow?”

Be still my heart.

“Y-Yeah!”

Jaehee closed her eyes, and withinthe next five minutes, she was asleep

The next morning Seven found both of you sleeping in his closet

And yes he was naked 

And yes he screamed

And yes you and Jaehee both screamedback

But it was still the best sevenminutes in heaven you’ve ever played even if it wasn’t just seven minutes

Jumin

As SOON as the door closed he had you pinned up against the wall

“W-Woah, slow down there bud.”

Jumin closed his eyes and sighed,letting go of the grip he had on your hips

“Sorry,” he backed up and ran hishands through his hair

You practically feel him holding himself back

“Why are you so worked up??”

Jumin leaned back on the wallopposite of you

“It’s just, while we were outthere, Zen kept… flirting with you.”

His nose crinkled when he said theword flirting, as if it were a disgusting word

“I know secretly dating is hard,but I really think its best.”

You looked up at him, “Especially with everything happening with yourcompany…”

Jumin nodded, taking a step towardyou

“I suppose I can’t blame Zen. Youdo look ravishing tonight,” Jumin smirked

You smiled back at him, giving hima small twirl

“Thank you, my boyfriend helped me pick this out.”

“I must say, your boyfriend has greattaste. I bet he’s handsome, too.”

“Oh yes, extremely.”

“FIVE MINUTES LEFT YOU TWO LOVEBIRDS!!”

Seven’s yelling interrupted yourconversation

“Hmm,” Jumin looked at you, “Doyou think five minutes in enough?”

You pushed yourself off of thewall and grabbed Jumin by the tie

“Won’t know unless we try.”

And as it turns out, five minuteswas more than enough time to… scroll through Jumin’s pictures of Elly

Saeran

“So.”

“Yup.”

“This is fun.”

“Really fun.”

For the first two minutes, thosewere the only words exchanged between you and Saeran

I have to do something to break this silence.

You cleared your throat

“Uhh… so how are you?”

SERIOUSLY??? Is that the best I could come up with?

“I’m fine.”

“…Cool.”

You looked down at your feet

I’m good too, thanks for asking.

this poor child doesn’t know howto socialize have mercy on him

When you looked back up at him,his eyes quickly darted away

Was he staring at me?

A light blush crossed his face

That’s… kinda cute.

You bit your lip

Well, this is seven minutesin heaven

Before your brain could tell youotherwise, you leaned forward and lightly pressed your lips against his

After getting over the initialshock that someone was actually kissing him Saeran grabbed your chin anddeepened the kiss

When you pulled away, both of youwere out of breath

You leaned back against the wall

“…So.”

“Yup.”

“That was fun.”

“Really fun.”

Seven swung the door open

“TIME’S UP!!!”

You looked at Saeran and smirked

“Let’s do this again sometime.”

Saeran followed you out the doorand grabbed your wrist

He pulled you back and lowered hisvoice so the other’s couldn’t here

“Name the place and I’ll be there.”

Oh, this was going to be f u n.

Seven

“♪♫YEAH,YEAH, YEAH, MC AND SEVEN IN HEAVEN FOR SEVEN♪♫”

You looked back the rest of thegroup

“Please help me.”

Jaehee gave you a pitying look andZen saluted you “in honor of his fallen comrade”

Before you could anyone else’sreaction, Seven grabbed your hand and pulled you into the closet

“Your closet is a lot smaller thanI thought it would be.”

Seven let go of your hand andlaughed

“You do know I wear almost thesame thing every day, right?”

You reached out to feel one of hisshirts

“This one is my favorite.”

You pointed to the shirt Yoosunghad gotten Seven for his birthday

It had a picture of the RFA on thefront and the word “family” in Arabic on the back

“Mine too.”

Seven stepped closer to you

“You wanna see why I was soexcited to get you in here?”

You felt your face heat up

“W-Well, I mean-“

“SAERAN TURN OFF THE LIGHTS!”

“What?”

As soon as the lights went off,Seven turned you around so you were facing the door

He wrapped his arms around you,giving you a tight hug from behind

“Look up.”

You tilted your head to look up atthe ceiling

“Oh my…”

Glow-in-the-dark stars werescattered all over the top of the closest, turning the dull ceiling into a tinygalaxy

“It’s beautiful.”

Seven buried his face in the crookof your neck

“So are you.”

And that’s when it hit you

You were literally in heaven in with Seven

“Thank you.”
