[wednesdayismyfunday]

IT support

Summary : Henry found y/n trying to print something and her computer isn’t working . Henry is more then happy to help.

Pairing : henry cavil x yn

Warnings : fluff . Smut . Bad jokes .

Henry was always much better at computers then Y/n . But she was determined to do this herself . She was booking a holiday away for their anniversary and the stupid computer wasn’t printing and kept freezing .

“ I’m pressing print ! I’m literally clicking you stupid f-“ beep beep . “ Why are you beeping ? What the hell , stop beeping.” Y/n stood up and threw her hand in the air. She knelt down to go under the desk to figure out if something wasn’t connected.

“ This stupid machine .” Y/n didn’t notice that Henry was watching the entire thing . He was leaning against the door admiring her ass while she looked at the plugs . Y/n tried to stand up and hit her head on the desk then pulled some plugs out on there way out. She had tangled herself with plugs and was on the verge of a mental break down . Henry bent down to get a better look at yn .

“ Hello darling , need some assistance.” Henry said smiling at y/n .

Y/n huffed and looked up at Henry. She felt so defeated .

“ I’m trying to print something.” Y/n sighed.

“ Do you need help?” Henry asked.

“ It was supposed to be a surprise .” Y/n whispered .

“ How about this . You get out from under the table. I’ll sort out the computer. Then when we print out whatever you want to print , I will act surprised.” Henry smiled.

“My Hero.” Y/n forced a smile. She felt like she couldn’t do anything right. Henry could sense she was upset so he concocted a plan.

“ I am gonna need a favour from you though.” Henry said as he began working on the computer .

“ Sure. What is it?” Y/n said.

“ Can you check in the top drawer for the manual and then read out section 13 to me .” Henry asked . He stood up and noticed there was something wrong with main board. He knew exactly how to fix it without the manual but this way he could get y/n to watch and learn . They started working . Y/n handing Henry small tools and watching him work . It didn’t take long before he had fixed the computer and the printer started printing . In fact it wouldn’t stop printing.

“ My darling how many did you print.” Henry laughed .

“ I honestly have no idea.” Y/n laughed as she tried to stop them from printing . It took a few minutes but she cancelled all the other prints. Henry watched again in amusement when she screamed in excitement . Y/n stood up and smiled at Henry . She walked up to him and jumped up. Henry effortlessly lifted her up so he was carrying her. Y/n kissed Henry while smiling . Henry could feel her smile.

“ Are you gonna tell me the surprise?” Henry asked breaking the kiss.

“ I booked a villa in Italy for us . Very remote”-kiss- “private pool”- kiss- “ for our anniversary”. Yn said. Henry laughed .

“ We should really stop surprising each other . I booked suite in Paris .”kiss-“ Penthouse” -kiss- “ best view of Paris” - kiss-“ private hot tub” Henry moved yn to there bedroom . Y/n smiled as Henry lay her on their bed.

“ I know . I saw the booking. I booked for after that. “Yn smiled cheekily . Henry laughed, he should have known. They were awful at secret keeping . The kisses became hungrier and more urgent . Henry lay half on top of yn and put his hand on her hip. Gently digging his hand as the kiss became more passionate. Y/n moaned in Henry’s mouth . Henry moved his hand up to Y/n just below her bra strap. Y/n put one hand on his chest and the other in his hair . Tugging and digging to earn groans from Henry.

“Put your hands above your head.” Henry demanded. Y/n put her hands above her head.

“Good girl.” Henry said. He pulled down her pants leaving her in her underwear and used the pants to tie her hands. Y/n squirmed underneath Henry. Henry realised he hadn’t taken her top off yet and tied her hands up to quickly.

“My darling , how much do you like this shirt.” Henry said as his hand gripped the hem of her shirt. His thumb touching just above her underwear.

“I would like it more if it was on the floor.” Y/n whispered suggestively. This wasn’t the first time Henry got ahead of himself. Henry smiled and started ripping the bottom of the shirt . He ripped the front of the shirt and the sleeves to free y/n of her top. Y/n now in a bra and underwear.

“ Henry darling , you can’t rip the bra. It’s gonna have to stay on. Next time you need to be more patient.” Y/n laughed. Henry grunted in response . Henry took off all his clothes painfully slow . Y/n’s whole body felt like it was on fire. She could easily get out of the hold she is in but last time she did that Henry didn’t let her finish. She knows better now.

“ Henry please .” Y/n begged . Henry smirked and left the room. Y/n sighed and looked at the ceiling . A few moments later Henry was back in the room with a stack of papers.

“ Henry ? What is that?” Y/n asked.

“ Well these are all the things you printed. Let’s read them .” Henry sat down infront of yn and read the itinerary. He turned the pages and kept reading .

“ Henry it’s only two pages long , why are you reading all of them.” Y/n asked.

“ Well I don’t want to waste it. So I’m reading every single one of them.” Henry laughed.

“ Oh my gosh Henry please there’s like 30 pages.” Y/n groaned . Henry smiled but kept his eyes on the pages . Y/n started clenching her thighs together . Needing some relief . Then an idea popped into her head . Something she knew Henry could never ignore.

“ Henry, if you don’t come here now I will take matter into my own hands.” Y/n said. Henry knew what she was doing , he flinched but didn’t look up. Y/n got up hands till tied up on this time it was infront of her . She moved towards Henry , who still hadn’t looked up. Y/n put her tied up hands over his head and around his neck and sat on his lap.

“ You keep reading Henry.” Y/n whispered. Y/n positioned her self so she was riding one of his thighs. He was trying to ignore the moans. He could tell she was getting close. He threw the paper on the floor and grabbed y/n’s ass. He forced her to stop. He place her on his lap and moved her underwear to the side. He positioned himself inside of her and began thrusting. It was rough and animalistic. It was desperate. At some point they had moved to the bed. Henry had gone from hungry to loving . They went into waves of pleasure for hours. Both trying to prove to each how much love they had .

“ My dear y/n , why did you choose Italy.” Henry asked while holding Y/n.

“ The pasta .” Y/n responded . Henry laughed and kissed y/n in the forehead .

“ Ask me why I chose France.” Henry said .

“ Why did you choose France?” Y/n asked.

“ The pastry.” Henry asked. Both burst into laughter .

“ I could go anywhere with you , aslong as there is food.” Y/n whispered .

“ So a stranded island with no food is a definite no.” Henry asked.

“ Sorry I don’t love you enough. I need the food” Y/n laughed .

“ Don’t worry , I’ll find you something good to eat.” Henry winked . Y/n laughed and hit him in the shoulder.

“ Henry .” Y/n said while sitting up.

“ Yes”. He replied sceptically.

“ I can hear the printer again.” Y/n said motioning towards the door .

“ How many did you print?” Henry laughed.

“ I honestly have no idea.” Y/n smiled

What if I said perpollo

[betsyyys-world]

It's been a while since I posted here, and I definitely never learned how to use this app properly, but oh well, I need a place to freak out where I won't get canceled (I think)

First, tell me I'm not crazy alone, but...

Totally based on Cross The Hallway. (If you haven't read it, no hate here.)

Wonyouung is definitely one of my favorite fancasts for Raven and I'm obsessed with her, God help us! She is so perfect and she looks like a little angel, and that is exactly the concept I imagine Raven in. Come on, we know that Lucifer was the most handsome angel in heaven (at least that I remember) and I take that audio very seriously "The devil is real and he's not a little red man with horns and a tail, he can be beautiful... Because he is a fallen angel and used to be God's favorite" So between us, Raven's beauty would be very similar to the beauty of an angel (If you read the fanfic, you'll get the reference). So Wonyoung looks like an angel to me and I really like using her as a fancast for Raven. Her being half demon kind of fits the fallen angel category, she is still a creation of God (part human), but she is also fallen (part demon) I also love to mention that in the first comics Raven's mother (Arella or Angela Roth, if you prefer) is the daughter of a pastor or reverend (I don't remember exactly, but you can look it up)

Now about Henry Cavill for Bruce... I'm just really fixated on Henry then... Ugh, look at that beard, it's wild!

Second, for you readers...

These bastards are totally Raven and Bruce (in appearance obviously, because we don't have fanarts and I'm looking for anything even slightly similar to them — I'm going crazy)

(Ib of the fanart of Raven and Bruce in the first picture is from andthendk.art and the name of the manga is Serena)

Snippet of an rwrb fanfic I’m writing it’s a/b/o and Alex is a 29 year old law professor who meets 21 year old Henry after Henry is forcefully moved to America to study law by his grandmother.

It’s this Alex

And this Henry

Alex hadn’t always wanted to be a law professor, he’d kind of just, fallen into it.

He’d studied law at NYU and shortly after gotten a job as a paralegal but that got , stale.

So during a late night rant to his mother she’d suggested he do some more study and look into teaching as a professor.

So Alex studied and then applied for a job at the university his mother was the head of.

Alex wasn’t proud of using the nepotism card but he did anyway.

So fast forward a few years and Alex is 29 years old teaching as a law professor, now finally on his own for the second year after teaching as a TA under Zarah Bankston and old friend of his moms and now a dean at the university.

Alex doesn’t expect anything to go wrong this year however that all changes when Henry fox walks into his lecture hall.

He’s pretty, blonde and everything Alex wants in an omega.

Alex class is small only 100 students so Henry already stuck out, however when he opens his mouth and speaks with that pretty English accent Alex is gone.

Which is bad, really bad because Henry is his student.

Everything goes well for a few weeks until one night Alex has finished his 6 pm lecture and is in the Chinese restaurant across from the campus when Henry walks in.

Henry walks up to the counter and Alex watches as Henry places his order, when he goes to pay however his card declines, once, twice, three times. Henry opens his mouth most likely to cancel his order when Alex blurts out “I’ll pay” and is swiping his American express.

“I .. thankyou.. you didn’t have to do that, professor ” Henry glances up at him

“It’s no problem and please don’t call me professor, it’s Alex“ Alex replies, leaning one arm on the shop counter.

Henry’s phone pings and he sees Henry’s face twist before he’s huffing out a breath and his scent sours.

“everything ok” Alex attempts to calm Henry but the agitation doesn’t leave Henry’s face.

“My bloody roommate just kicked me out of my dorm for the night, apparently he’s found some girl to shag” Henry spits out

“Shag” the word feels foreign in Alex’s mouth

“ it means fuck, Alex” Henry’s rolling his eyes but grinning up at him and Alex can’t help but return the smile.

“Um maybe we could eat together at my place” the words are out of Alex’s mouth before he can even process how much of a boundary that crosses and how bad of an idea that is, Henry beams “That sounds wonderful Alex”

Soon the cashier is calling out that their food is done and Henry is following Alex out to his car.

Henry sinks into the leather passenger seat of Alex’s Lexus and sighs “ Christ, I forgot how nice leather car seats were”.

Alex shoots Henry a questioning look and Henry looks down at his feet.

“My family’s quite well off however since my grandmother shipped me over here with barley any money, I’ve been missing out on the luxury’s I used to enjoy”

“I hope I’m not over stepping but why’d she send you here” Alex questions.

“Apparently it’s unbecoming for a member of our family to be an omega and to want to study literature, I was at Oxford on a scholarship in my last year and then she pulled me out to study law here in America” Henry’s answer is pained, Alex can’t imagine what it would be like to have your whole life up ended like that.

The rest of the drive continues on a happier note as Alex and Henry sing along to some of the songs on Alex playlist until they arrive at Alex’s brownstone.

As they step into the house Alex sees Henry looking around, his head tilted upward, was he scenting?

Alex chooses to ignore it for his own sanity and leads Henry to the couch and excuses himself to change out of his teaching clothes and into something more comfortable.

Alex now in a t-shirt and sweats joins Henry on the couch, Alex thinking of something to watch while they eat, asks Henry if he’s a Star Wars fan, Henry’s face lights up and he gleefully explains that he loves return of the Jedi, Alex scoffs and has to correct Henry “ the best star wars movie is clearly the empire strikes back” Henry flashes Alex a gummy smile and rolls his eyes “ I suppose I could endure watching empire”.

Fanfic idea

Au: without Leila (it doesn't matter if there is a system and siyeon)

A year before returning to the capital, Callisto meets a fortune teller who predicted his mother's death from unrequited love. The fortune teller invites him to “see” any day with any of his subordinates. The prince without hesitation chooses Cedric as his closest friend.

He drinks a potion (he was so broken over the memories of his mother that he completely forgot about his own safety) which briefly puts him to sleep.

Cedric's day begins with him waking up at his desk, all rumpled and with an ink mark on his forehead. From Porter’s conversation with Sir Marty, Callisto learns that Cedric’s wife and children are on vacation, and in general he is “abandoned” here to deal with all the rubble alone, while the emperor left for a week for the wedding of King Ryan (judging by the insults addressed to the emperor, it was Callisto himself).

Then the crown prince sees Cedric walking next to a very angry woman he doesn’t know. She calls herself "the godmother of his children" and expresses her indignation that he spoke so late about what happened, and then turns and arrogantly asks:

– Sir Porter, do you remember my old nicknames?

– Oh, yes, but...

– Now you will personally find out why I was nicknamed Mad Bitch Eckhart.

Immediately she bursts into the reception hall.

– Prince Henry, Princess Zoe, how am I supposed to understand this?

The scandal with threats and a fight greatly impressed Callisto. The reason turned out to be interesting for him: Prince Henry had long been in love with Lady Eckhart and wanted to marry her, despite the fact that he was already married.

Princess Zoe was not against a “marriage for three” and in a letter addressed to Penelope (he also learned her name at the time of the fight), she wrote about the hope that Henry’s future second wife would give birth to a child with the same beautiful hair. In response to the letters, Eckhart sent them a reminder of her engagement to the emperor and her extremely conservative views regarding the family.

However, the Prince and Princess Kanta clearly did not understand the word “no” and decided to take advantage of Callisto’s absence to take Penelope by force and announce to the nobles that the wedding with the emperor was cancelled.

Lady Eckhart was furious, and Kanta's representatives had to flee the capital.

The rest of the day was filled with the usual tasks. Closer to night, Cedric sat down in the library with wine, and Penelope Eckhart dozed off on the next sofa, surrounded by a dozen books. Porter smiled modestly, looking at the princess, whispered something like “with her every day is like war” and closed his eyes.

By the time Callisto woke up, the fortune teller had already disappeared. The thought of a strange woman with crimson hair could not leave his head, so he smiled like a fool for a long time.

A year later, Callisto will meet Penelope Eckhart at the homecoming banquet. And of course, he definitely won’t miss the chance to impress her.

Saw the open tag from @taste-thewaste on this! This took me down memory lane a bit 🥲

How many works do you have on ao3?

61

What's your total ao3 word count?

138,797

What fandoms do you write for?

Red, White & Royal Blue mostly but I'm happy to write Heartstopper and og Skam.

I've written for Riverdale, Teen Wolf, Skam France, Wtfock, Druck, Skam Italia & Shadowhunters in the past.

Top five fics by kudos:

Digital Love Letters (RWRB)

i try hard to get back inside your arms alive (RWRB) - and particularly insane as I posted this last week! 🥰)

Right Kind of Wrong (Riverdale)

your heart is your masterpiece (RWRB)

a frightening magic I cling to (RWRB)

Do you respond to comments?

Yes! They make my day, I screenshot my faves. I also love when someone finds a fic that has lots of chapters & I get a flurry of comments 🤌🏻

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Tricky, I don't usually finish on angst. Echo (Wtfock) follows on from a very horrendous part of the show or Season 5 - Magnus (Skam) never got finished so it's been left in the midst of angst.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Most of them end on a happy note but Love, Henry (RWRB) is probably the happiest.

Do you get hate on fics?

I think there was a little back when I started in Riverdale but I think it more anger on their part for a topic I could have written more sensibly I suppose? I've had critique on fics now but never hate.

Do you write smut?

I've written it one time years ago & it felt weird. I loooove writing foreplay though! But I've not ventured into smut in my current fandoms. That might be something I do though, my bigender Alex fic might go into that if there's sequel.

Craziest crossover:

I've only done one and it was a Riverdale meets Teen Wolf, it was a Christmas special and they had to help reunite Santa with his reindeer. While I haven't watched Riverdale for ages, I'm still really proud of that fic!

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No, thankfully!

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, I'd love that though 😄

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No but I'd absolutely love to collab this year, in the RWRB fandom in particular y'all are so talented 🥲

All time favorite ship?

Firstprince (RWRB) probably. Wilmon (Young Royals) is a close second atm, I'd love to write some YR fics soon. I'm still a massive Yousana (Skam) and Davenzi (Druck) shipper too. Oh and Nathan/Annalise/Gabriel (TBSATDH) - can't remember the ship name! That show got cancelled too soon & it was basically like a fix it for the books.

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I have a Teen Wolf reader insert fic with a pregnancy story line that I left on a huge cliffhanger but frustrates me but not enough to motivate to finish it. I also have my Skam season 5 - Magnus fic that I'd love to finish one day but I haven't found the plan I made for it originally.

What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue and character voice I think?

What are your writing weaknesses?

Plotting? I'm good at writing scenes but writing a longer storyline in fanfic is something I struggle with.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

If you can do it, go for it! I wish I could incorporate more Spanish in my RWRB fics but alas I only got French or German at my school, I only stuck with French. Maybe I'll brush up & add some in for Henry (RWRB) or Nick (Heartstopper).

First fandom you wrote in?

Riverdale, I haven't seen it in years 😅

Favorite fic you've written?

i try hard to get back inside your arms alive is the probably the one I'm proudest of and while it isn't finished yet Her Royal Highness is up there cause it combines so many of my favourite things, I'm getting to explore darker topics in some scenes while also putting Henry in drag - fanfic catnip for me quite frankly!

I'm not sure who has done this already but I'll tag folks I want to see answer this: @heysweetheart-writes @candyspandemonium @firenati0n @onthewaytosomewhere @callumsmitchells & of course, open tag 💛

Top Ten TV

Rules: Game: Add 10 gifs from your favorite shows and tag 10 people.

I was tagged by @godmerlin Thank ya so much! SOO

My love! My favorite! I adore you so much! Merlin until recently was a show I would rewatch every year. THEN one of my RP servers when down for months and my mind was like HEY YOU NEED DOPAMINE KNOW THAT SHOW? It's a special intrest now. Merlin and Arthur were always my favs. But I read two merthur fanfics, realized hey this actually worked, watched the show with new eyes, decided to write a small oneshot. And then It was not a one shot, And then there was a sequal and a prequal... then I was writing more stuff! This show showed me I could write again after a long time thinking I could not.

My second favoirite show is Avatar the Last Airbender I guess and my fav character is actually Aang. I like his nonconfrontationalness I kinda also have that trait and you do not often see it in fiction.

(Now from here on out they don't really have an order?

I really like the show The Tudors. I don't require historical accuricy in shows about the time period that is a special interst to me. I can enjoy the shows seperatly and be like that did not happen! But the tudors is weard because it is very much NOT historicaluy accurate as a whole but somtimes, Dialouge and scenes are pretty much ripped from the firsthand acounts of the period. This is also the show were both Natalie Dormer and Henry Cavill got their start. Fun fact Katie McGrath was actually working on costume design on this show and someone told her she should try acting. She got a very small role in the show then went on to land Morgana in Merlin. ALSO this show makes me cry so MUCH

I didn't get into Shadow and Bone on my first try. After season two aired I tried is again with a freind of mine and loved it. I'm so upset it was canceled!

With Brigerton I actually started with the Spin off Queen Charlotte (I'm counting spin offs and their original show as the same show usually so I can have more shoes listed here WHEEEE.) Anyhoo Queen Charlotte won me over with it having a romantic male lead with mental Ilness. and I enjoyed it! So I watched Brigerton too. Eloise is pretty much teenage me.

The boys and Gen V got me with its plot and commantary on American society. Alright it kinda helps that I've never really liked the idea of super heros. This is pretty much the only superhero media I consume along with one animated show my sister had me watch once. My favorite from the original Series is Hughie and my fav from Gev V is Jordan.

Okay so yeah! Dr Who. I stopped watching shortly after 11 left and came back for 14 and 15. My fav doctors are 11 and 15 so far! I adore Martha and Donna the best.

So The Last Kingdom was a show that my freind really liked and we watched together. I hated Uhtred in season 1 but came to enjoy him later. I LOVED These two in the gif, I WAS HERE FOR THEM SHIPPING THEM IN THE LAST SEASON. You know how that turned out if you watch the show. I have never hated on a character as much as I did on a certain king. THEM. <3

I am very much enjoying House Of The Dragon. I was a GOT fan until the end season even if it started going downhil before that. No I am not team black or team green. I can see both viewpoints. So I'm just here to watch people freak out over it. And enjoy it myself. And Cheer for Healana while waiting in dred due to having read the book it's based on. I'm upset the seem to have gotten rid of Nettles though.

Derry Girls is the show on this list I watched most recently. I did not really like the first episode but from there I adored them all. Clare and Orla are my Favs. But the entire cast is great.

You’ve Got the Same Dream as Me

Hello, kiddos! The idea for this fanfic came to me from a dream (again) I had about a month ago. Тhe main characters were Tom Cruise and Henry Cavill (don't ask me why), but with a light hand they have been replaced (sorry, guys). The main action of the dream took place somewhere in the sands. Аlthough this fanfic will feature Sir Crocodile and our beloved Buggy, the action shifts to the desert. No marines, ships etc. Sorry, not sorry :) The devil fruit's abilities are preserved. Catch the Mummy and Indiana Jones vibes :) I have no idea how many chapters there will be.

Since English is not my native language, errors may occur. As always, feel free to share your thoughts :) 

And thank you to my dear @yujo-nishimura and @laurasoretta for believing in me :)

Description: Catherine, a librarian who is searching for the trail of her sister who went missing on an expedition. Notes in books and diaries lead her to Cairo. There she finds Rika, a retailer from an artifact shop who, in exchange for selling her a map and equipment, insists that Catherine take her along. They get into a little (or maybe a big) adventure.. 

Warnings: 12+, I think. As always, no smut, angst, violence. Adventures and fun only. Buggy x OC, Sir Crocodile x OC.

Words: 700

The title is taken from «You've Got the Same Dream as Me» (Sonya Belousova & Giona Ostinelli) (One Piece, Netflix)

✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

Chapter 1

"I need one ticket, please! I need to get on that plane!". Catherine said pleadingly, snapping her fingers in front of the girl's face. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

That was the last flight to Cairo for today. 

Tired and laden with bags Catherine begged the girl at the check-in desk to sell her a ticket. 

"I N-E-E-D T-O G-E-T O-N T-H-I-S P-LA-N-E". She spelled it out in an irritated voice. 

'You need help?" a girl's voice came through.  

"What? Oh, yes. I need to buy a ticket. This’s the last flight to Cairo, I cannot wait until tomorrow. But she..", Catherine pointed at the girl behind the counter, "Said there are no available tickets". 

"Well, yeah. This destination is very popular now, unfortunately, it doesn't help these checkout girls learn English well. I’m Laura, by the way", the brown-haired girl, adjusting the strap of her bag, held out her hand to Catherine. 

"Oh, sorry. I’m Catherine. Catherine Mitchell". 

"Well, Cath, today is your lucky day, I think", Laura said, pulling a small envelope out of the inside pocket of her jacket.

"What? Me and happy days are clearly bypassing each other", Catherine mumbled, scratching her neck.

"Well, I was supposed to go to Cairo with my boyfriend. But he dumped me right outside the airport. Shithead. Said he was bored with me... Anyway, I've got an extra ticket if you want it. As I can see, you need it more", Laura said with a wide smile. 

"Really? You're just gonna give me a ticket? I… I'm-- I can pay for it…", Catherine reached for her wallet.

"No, please! You owe me a cup of coffee and one pizza. Furthermore, it'll be nice to talk to someone normal on the flight", Laura held out the ticket.

"But how do I get on the ticket? It's under a different name".

"Come on, the staff are rubbish, they don't really look at the details", Laura said with a teasing tone. 

"That’s… Great! I guess. You’ve saved my life!", Catherine couldn't contain her joy. "In that case… Come on! Let me buy you coffee and the biggest pizza".

"Just a minute, ok? I'm gonna give my mum a quick call and tell her it's okay and my trip's not cancelled".

"Sure".

Laura stepped behind a column and pulled out her phone. After looking around at the people around her, she dialed a number.

"Sir, everything's on schedule. She bought it". 

⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥫⥭⥭⥭⥭⥭⥭⥭⥭⥭⥭⥭⥭⥭⥭⥭⥭⥭⥭

Dear passengers! Our plane has landed at Cairo airport. The temperature outside the window is +40 degrees.

"God, I'm going to die in this heat", Catherine groaned. 

"Well, you'll try not to die somehow. So.. I guess we'll say goodbye after baggage claim. Thank you so much for the company", Laura said, pulling a backpack off the luggage rack. 

"I can’t even express how thankful I am, Laura. Really". 

Walking out of the airport building with her suitcase, Catherine took a taxi and went to the hotel. When she finally got there, she shook out the contents of her backpack on the bed. 

"Where is... where is... ", Catherine was going through the papers and books that were all over the bed. "There it is! 15, Marineford Street. Hm.. Why does Cairo have a street with that name?"

Without wasting a second, Catherine put everything back into her backpack and ran out of the room. 

Within 30 minutes she was standing at the door of a small shop. Its entrance was decorated with a large brown door with peeling paint and a worn handle that had been probably tugged on for decades. 

"Rika's shop: your adventures begin here", Catherine whispered the name of the shop and rolled her eyes at the same second, "Oh my God, how original".

She started knocking on the door.

"Hello-o-o-o! People! Somebody? Anybody?", she put her ear to the door, hoping to hear the sound of footsteps.

"What's all the fuss? The shop's closed", said a woman passing by. 

"But I have to get to the shop!" said Catherine with hope in her voice. 

"Come back tomorrow, you lunatic. You'll get in then. The owner had already gone home. Get out of here".

"Come back tomorrow. Then you'll get in", Catherine muttered under her breath. 

There was nothing left for her to do but go back to the hotel, take a shower and burrow under the blanket.

Write a fanfic about jack henry and his crazy wife unzipping his bag in the Tokyo airport idk

"no stop it, everything will fall out," Jack Henry groans, trying to swat his wife's hand away.

"What do you even have in there?" his wife asks, her fingers trying to pull at the zipper on the bag.

"i'm carrying your water, silly," Jack says affectionately, fishing out her water bottle and offering it to her. Reminding her to drink water, sexy. carrying her things in his handbag, sexy. driving her to the airport, sexy---

"Did you fill it up at our Sydney airport stopover?" his wife groans, screwing up her nose at the water bottle.

"No, I just bought it, they only had cool ridge though," Jack said, still holding out the bottle.

His wife sighed and grabbed at the bag's zipper again, pulling it open and shut several times.

"Shhh there's an announcement," Jack said, trying to pause the zipper action, ears straining out of his curtain of hair to hear the announcement.

Flight VA38 moved to gate 36 and will now depart at 11:08pm

"Again? We've seen more gates here than we did in Sydney airport," Jack's wife groaned.

"At least it's not cancelled," Jack murmured, trying to sound positive as he dragged himself up from where he'd fallen on the floor trying to avoid his wife's fidgety fingers on his bag. "Would hate to be those guys."

They both turned to watch a bunch of Essendon players looking lost and forlorn, trying to get home for their day 1 of preseason. Not a great start to their 2025 campaign.

She opens her eyes and looks at the sidewalk behind him, seeing the ice forming around them. She sniffles, "We should get back inside," she says.

"I think we should just go home, don't you?"

"No," she says, pulling away from him and looking up, "I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to cancel your fun today, Henry."

He laughs quietly, shaking his head, "The panel isn't really all that great—they won't miss me if I tell them I'm not coming," he says, shrugging, "I'd rather just spend the rest of the day with you in Boston," he adds.

At that, she couldn't argue with him. She, too, would like to spend the day with him in Boston, so she just nods and murmurs, "Okay," before he takes her hand and they walk back in together. He tells the people who run it that he has to leave earlier than expected, thanks them for the speaking opportunity, and leaves his books with them.

"My UVA colleagues can get them on their way out." He instructs, and Elizabeth makes a mental note to try to remember to make sure he's messaged them later.

As they walk out of the conference center and onto the campus, she looks down at their feet, lost in her own thoughts again. She's not even sure she feels relieved now that Henry knows—instead, she just feels scared. And, honestly, a bit mad. How could he ever think she was cheating on him? She'd never even so much as looked twice at another man, let alone slept with him. She shifts her hand from his into her coat pocket, but he immediately notices.

"Babe," he says.

She looks over at him, "An affair?" She asks.

Alright I'm just gonna dump a bunch of my Marlie headcanons in one big blotch of dumbassery. Just a warning, aside from various second hand accounts and a comic dub of The Silver Eyes, I know nothing about the books 

Anyways, let's-a go

Charlie is older than Michael by only a few months and constantly holds that fact over him (especially during their younger years where Mike's still a chaotic gremlin child)

They were both around twelve years old when the bite of 83 happened

After the bite of 83, Michael just shuts down. He stays home most of the time, he doesn't talk to any of friends, and he starts thinking some pretty bad thoughts about himself. Charlie is initially appalled, but after seeing that state that Mike's in, she tries to help him, and their relationship starts to change (until she gets murdered in the "Canon" timeline, but that's besides the point)

Also in the "canon" timeline, Michael and Charlie both act as guardians to the MCI victims

Michael has some bad dysmorphia when it comes to his face, which is part of why he wore his Foxy mask all the time. Charlie was one of the few people to see Mike without his mask on during their childhood

Charlie's the only person who can call Michael "Mikey"

I have a weird habit of imagining Charlie with a British accent whenever I read fanfics, so let's say that she got it from being babysat by William/hanging around Michael 

I just now realized that my take on Michael and Charlie's dynamic when they were kids weirdly parallels William and Henry. The Emily is the calm voice of reason while the Afton is the off the walls visionary who ends up killing someone oops

When drawing, Michael has a habit of doodling cartoon-ish caricatures of him and Charlie (who are a fox and black bear respectively) doing stereotypical romantic stuff

Growing up Charlie always got on Michael's case about him bullying Evan, always saying that one day, he'd go too far. Guess she was right

Charlie likes to doodle even though she's not that great of an artist

Charlie is definitely the type to listen to lo-fi beats with noise canceling headphones when doing chores/stuff in general

Michael used to love screamo stuff, but now he's more of a general rock and roll kinda guy

Michael discovered a pack of his dad's cigarettes when he was ten and started smoking in secret. Charlie eventually found out and scolded him, suggesting that he chew gum instead

This isn't really a headcanon, but I've been playing with the idea of Charlie being the Bonnie-mask bully, making her partially responsible for Evan's death and giving William more of a reason to kill her specifically. Also her and Michael being rebellious little snot faces while she's still the voice of reason is a mental image that I personally love. (Also in this headcanon Au thingy, the Chica and Freddy-mask bullies would be Jessica and Carlton respectively)

Finally, Charlie could absolutely whoop Michael in a fight, she just chooses not to

Ohh okay so let me get the first thing out of the way that I don’t like. I really don’t like the idea of Charlie being the Bonnie mask bully. Simply due to the fact that it does go against her character completely and it’s just not her if that makes sense. That being said that’s the only thing I don’t like.

Some of these I agree with myself like Charlie being older than Michael by a few months and Charlie drawing a lot (my personal headcanon is that she designed the mediocre melodies before she died and that’s why Henry used them in fnaf 6).

Chiming in to say that I find it fascinating that I rarely see this sort of attitude when it comes to violence in media (at least when it comes to fandom wank). If an adult writing a teenaged character in a sexual situation automatically meant that said adult wants to sexually prey on teens, then the same could be said for acts of violence. The Stranger Things writers wrote Henry Creel - a character who tortures animals, killed his family, groomed a child in a laboratory (and killed the rest), and butchered three teens by exploiting their trauma and breaking every bone in their bodies. Adults are the ones who wrote this. Does that mean that those adults fantasize about those things? Of course not - because it’s fiction. So why would a sexual situation be any different? Hell, I’m a smut writer, but I’m also asexual. I write all sorts of kinks that I have zero interest in trying in real life.

Interestingly enough, these people are willing to condemn fan writers for liking a “problematic” character, but not the writers who came up with the character in the first place. Billy is the perfect example. People love to accuse Billy fans of racism and abuse apologism, but by that logic, shouldn’t the Stranger Things writers be harassed for writing that character into existence? And how about the racially-fueled violence shown to both Lucas and Erica in The Piggyback? Shouldn’t people be calling for the cancellation of Stranger Things for that? Or maybe - just maybe - is it possible that these writers can write something without actually condoning or fantasizing about that thing?

Note: I’m not calling for anyone or anything to be canceled. I just find it very telling that these antis will continue to support the PAID writers who wrote a show that contains these “problematic” elements, but condemn the unpaid fan writers who simply take what someone else already created and do something else with it. If the content of the show has those same elements that you condemn in fanfic, then you have two options: either stop engaging with the show and its fanworks, or accept that there are things you’re not going to like. Holding fan writers to stricter moral guidelines than paid writers is just pure hypocrisy.

⚠️Billy fan here⚠️

So I ship Harringrove right? I'm 23, so quite young compared to other adults in the random. And Steve and Billy are 18-20 YO. It feels icky seeing 35+ YOs (not saying any names, I've just seen one or two people) sort of kink-ify (forgot the word LMAO) Billy and Steve. Especially when they were in S2 cause they were 17 or something, both were still in highschool. Well aware that not all S2 content is sexual and things, but it's always in some way a bit gross seeing someone 10+ years older than Billy and Steve think it's attractive when two barely adult age people have sex. Just something I wanted to see discussed! Let me know your opinion!

(Sorry if this is weird to read, not good with forming coherent sentences!)

I don’t think there’s anything particularly wrong with adults shipping teenage fictional characters who have sex, even kinky sex, and I think you need to question why it’s gross to you. This is especially when these character aren’t real, and they’re portrayed by adult actors. Joe and Dacre are around my age, for example. You have to ask yourself if these people are really attracted to “barely legal” teenagers or if they’re adults who remember being that age enjoying stories with sexual themes portrayed by adult actors. There’s a line between fantasy and reality, and most adults in this fandom can recognize that.

Exploring sex and kink in fanworks is not the same thing as an adult preying on a minor. Those same adults can reason why Karen’s interactions with Billy are predatory in universe, while as adults still enjoying fanworks where Billy has kinky sex with someone his own age like Steve. Stepping out of fanworks for a second, there’s numerous mainstream fictional works where teenager characters have sex with teenager characters, even in kinky ways. Shameless. Sex Education. Heartbreak High. Euphoria. Degrassi. Gossip Girl. We grew up with it, and writing about that experience doesn’t make a person predatory or dangerous to minors.

Talk to me when someone is preying on a real minor. I’m not here for calling fans over a certain age gross or icky for having the same interests in fandom as they did ten years prior. You will get to be that age, too.

Annoying warning as I am a piece of shit.

My Henry Stickmin and Among us fanfic has been temporarily canceled!

I accidentally didn't remember to copy my progress, so chapter 2 won't come due to lack of time, creativity and will!

I'm tired of just doing shit with the same fic and I'll only do it when the urge comes back!

I don't know if you'll be sad, DON'T BE!

At least my zombie apocalypse fic is still in progress, but the other one I'll have to give up on even though I have so much in mind for her...

In the end, I hope you are patient, because I'm pissed at myself! I just do shit!! I ONLY SINCE PROGRESS FROM THIS FIC ALL THE TIME IT MAKES ME ANGER!!!

Sorry for the inconvenience, and also pretend that Dave's wave with the rupert I showed you was fake. Unfortunately, that won't happen anymore...(the scene I liked the most...)

Sorry for everything ok...

The Christmas plan

You all rolled up after the last interview for the witcher season 2. It was for now the last interview with a Christmas break in between. You were Henry’s assistant. Yes the Henry Cavill, I don’t think I need to say more. Anyway, you were currently wrapping up in your home country and you were really happy with that because that meant you could celebrate Christmas with your family. You all decided to get a drink before separating for the holidays.

You got into a cozy pub and ordered your drinks. Henry looked at you and gave you a smile which you returned. At first you had a huge crush on your boss but you buried those feeling very quick since it was making your job very hard. But he was just the whole package and sometimes those feelings just bubbled up to the surface. Henry knew you were a author as well and your big dream was to make a movie of one of your book. He supported you and he was so differently than all the other bosses you had. I mean some were mean and horrible but you also had really great bosses but with Henry…. he was like your best friend. You tried to keep it professional but Henry would always tell you: “ But we’re friends too.” So yeah it’s been hard to keep your feeling aside, besides you were 24 and he was 38.

Joey came back with the drinks for all of you. Anya and Freya were there too. You had a good connection with everyone but Anya became a close friend to you. You all chatted a bit and had a lot of laughs, but you noticed that Henry was looking more often your way then he normally did but you shrugged it off. Even Anya gave you a side eye with a smirk. You told nobody about your crush on your boss. You couldn’t risk it. After a couple of drinks everyone went to the airport to go to their family. Henry had to go the other way so you said your goodbyes to everyone and gave them a hug, whishing everyone a merry Christmas before you left to your family.

You had a two hour drive and you were on the half of your drive until you got a call. It was Henry. You picked up, “Hey Hen, what’s up? Aren’t you supposed to be on the plane right now?” you asked him confused. “Yeah ehm, my flight got canceled. I just wanted to let you know that so can you maybe see if there’s a hotel that isn’t fully booked yet?” he asked you carefully. You stopped your car on the side of the road. “Henry….. You are not going to celebrate Christmas in a hotel room. I’m on my way to pick you up, you can celebrate with us.”  You told him sweet. “No Y/N, I don’t want to intervene and it’s your time with your family and friends.” He told you.

You chuckled “that’s exactly why I’m picking you up. We’re friends and I don’t let friends down. So I’m on my way. You can buy me a hot chocolate though.” You told him and he chuckled. “Are you sure? And are you sure your family is okay with it?” he asked you worried. “Yes, I promise you. I’ll be there in a hour.” He thanked you multiple times before saying your goodbyes and hung up the phone. You took the next exit on the highway so you could turn back around.

You arrived on the parking and saw Henry looking with a soft smile. You knew he was bothered by the fact that he couldn’t spent Christmas with his family. He got into the car. “I got you your hot chocolate” he told you and gave it to you. You smiled at him. “Thank you. I’m sorry you couldn’t spend Christmas with your family….” You told him sincere. He gave you a soft smile. “Well, because of you, I won’t be miserable in a hotel room, drinking whiskey the entire time. But all jokes aside, I can’t thank you enough for this.” You chuckled. “You are more than welcome and if you want whiskey, my family has more than enough.” You both chuckled and you made your way home.

“So…. Your family knows that I’m coming?” he asked you. “Yeah, I just called my mom and she’s excited. Just a heads-up…. my family loves your movies sooo…. I’m just going to apologize for their behavior already.” He chuckled. “it’s okay, I’m just happy and grateful I can tag along.” You gave him a smile and focused on the road. You and Henry chatted a bit before you arrived home.

You saw your mom and her boyfriend standing outside and you smiled. You parked the car and got out. “Y/N!” your mom called and gave you a big hug. Henry kept looking at you with a smile. He greeted and introduced himself to your moms boyfriend. “So this is your boss?” your mom asked looking at Henry. “Yes and no. He’s a great friend and is here as a friend.” You told her. “Oh I’m just joking bring it in!” your mom told him and you saw the worry leave Henry’s face as your mom pulled him into a hug. “Come in, come in, it’s way too cold! It’s going to snow!” she told you, knowing how much you loved snow and you smiled.  You saw that she decorated the entire outside of the house and smiled. “Oh Y/N, dear, we got the guestroom ready for Henry! oh and family will be staying over as well! You cousins and uncle and aunt etc.” your mom told you and you nodded.

You had a pretty big house but that wasn’t always the case. Once you made more money ( because Henry paid you generously) you, your mom and her boyfriend put some money together for a nice home. You were mostly on the road and it would be a waste to have a own apartment so this seemed like the best option right now. You walked up the stairs with Henry to show him his room for the couple of days. He smiled at you “Thank you so much.” You waved it off with a smile. “Really it’s okay.” You told him and you both stared at each other with a smile until you looked away awkwardly and said: “Right, I’ll leave you to it now. I’ll see you downstairs.” You told him with a smile. “Eh yeah, see you in a bit.”

You walked downstairs flustered and sat on the kitchen island. Your mom smiled at you but decided not to say anything yet even though she knew that you liked him. you placed a popped a couple of chocolates in your mouth before you chatted a bit with your mom before Henry came downstairs. “your cousins, nieces and everyone else will be joining in a bit.” She told you making you smile. It’s been forever since you’ve seen them and you definitely missed their antics.

You both got a nice alcoholic drink from the boyfriend of your mom before your family came walking in. “Aunt Y/N!!” your two nieces said before running up to you. “Luna, Kate oh I’ve missed you guys so much! Look how much you’ve grown!” you told them in a big hug. They were both 14 and 15. Your aunt came walking up to you and gave you a big hug “Oh look at you. You look amazing.” Your aunt told you before she got everything set in the kitchen. You smiled and greeted everyone else and introduced Henry. they were definitely in a awe from him especially your cousins and nieces. Your cousins were still very young, around 6 and 8 and loved superman so they wanted to hang around Henry and he gave you a look that he didn’t minded it at all.

You helped a little in the kitchen before sitting down at the large table next to Henry. It wasn’t Christmas yet but your family wanted some time with you besides the holidays. Your nieces got seated next to you. “So…. Where’s aunt Angela….?” You asked carefully before sipping your wine. Luna and Kate groaned, making you frown and the rest of your family chuckled. “What’s going on?”  Your aunt Angela was kind off that weird, drunk aunt. She was off her rockets but you loved her dearly and had a lot of laughs with her.

“She’s directing a musical for Christmas… And the kids have to play in it. But you know her, she’s very passionate about this. Maybe just a bit too much for the children.” You chuckled “She yells at us and thinks we’re on Broadway or something.” Luna said desperate and you and Henry chuckled. “Speaking about the devil..” The door swung open. “Y/N, my favorite niece. Have you missed me?” she said gracefully, making you chuckle. “Aunt Angela…. Of course I have.” You told her and stood up to give her a hug.

Her eyes landed on Henry, who just smiled polite. “Oh my, my, my, What have we got here?” She pushed you out of the way, making you roll your eyes at her. Henry made eye contact with you. “Wow, Santa really does exists and came early with my Christmas present this year. I must have been a very good girl.” You family covered the kids ears and you saw Luna and Kate gag. “Okay aunt Angela…. This is my friend, Henry. He’s celebrating Christmas with us.” You told her trying to chime in. She didn’t even look at you “oh I know exactly who he is.” She gave him her hand and pressed it to his lips. Your family shoved her to the complete opposite of the table. “That’s right about enough. Leave the poor man alone, Angela.” She rolled her eyes. “Fine.”

You took your seat next to Henry again and you could see he was blushing. “I’m so sorry about that. She’s… Well you know that aunt.” He gave you a sweet smile. “It’s okay, it’s kind of funny.” He chuckled and you felt relieved.

The food got on the table and you all started to catch up, while Henry looked admiringly and lovingly at you which didn’t go unnoticed by your family. They shared glances at each other, especially Kate and Luna. “So Y/N, how’s your love life going?” Angela asked you, making you almost choke on your wine. Your mom gave her a quick side glance that she shouldn’t have asked. “It’s, well you know… I’m just very busy.” Angela looked at Henry “You don’t make her work to hard do you? She needs a life.”, “No, no aunt Angela. It’s not like that… it’s just… You know I like to spend my days off with friends or writing.” You told her and Henry looked down, making your family share glances again. “ugh you still write?” you chuckled “yeah, says the woman that’s directing a musical.” She gave you a side eye “For your information, it’s a play.” You chuckled. “Can we just skip this subject?” you asked everyone and they nodded. “Was just curious but fine.” Angela told you while sipping more of her wine.

After dinner your mom showed everyone the Christmas tree and Henry stood close next to you. You could feel your arms touch slightly. You looked up at him already finding him smiling at you. You looked away feeling flustered. “Tadaaaaaaa” your mom said with her arms open. “It’s….white.” you told her carefully, making everyone chuckle. “No it’s modern.” Everyone frowned at the small Christmas tree. “Well it’s not Christmas with a good Christmas tree…..” your other aunt Sophia said carefully. “Oh I’m sorry, why don’t you clean it every day.” Your mom told her sarcastically. “You like it right Henry?” everyone looked at Henry and you saw the slight panic in his eyes.  “Eh yeah it’s different? Nice different though.” He said carefully and everyone groaned. You chuckled at him, knowing that he didn’t want to disagree with your mom but still wanted to be honest.

Everyone scattered across the house and aunt Sophia walked up to you “Please fix this.” you chuckled as he walked off. you all decided to go to bed now because you were all pretty tired and didn’t want to listen to aunt Angela sing her heart out to Christmas songs.

You got freshened up and into your pajamas and walked towards the guest room where Henry was staying. You knocked and you heard “Come in.” Henry knew it was you, he could tell by your soft steps, your knocks all the small details that he saved in his head. You opened the door and just saw Henry putting on his pajama pants. You felt your breath hitch a little. He had no shirt on and god did he look good.  He gave you a soft smile. “I eh… just wanted to ask if you’re okay and comfortable, if you needed something else.” You were rambling and he chuckled slightly as you felt your cheeks heat up. “Sweetheart, I’m fine.” He told you as he walked up to you and placed both of his hands on your arms and rubbed it, making you feel more and more flustered as the feelings came bubbling up.

You both didn’t know that Luna and Kate were spying on the both of you as they gave each other glances. “I can’t thank you enough for letting me join.” He told you softly, you couldn’t make eye contact with him. “It’s my pleasure, really. I’m sorry about my aunt though. She’s a lot sometimes.” He chuckled “It’s fine. Really.” You decided to make eye contact and he already looked lovingly and deeply in your eyes. you could literally feel your heart skip a beat, or well, a couple. You fell into a trance, the both of you probably did until you could hear aunt Angela scream the song: It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, on the top of her lungs, making you both break out of the trans and chuckle. “Eh goodnight then, and I’ll see you tomorrow.” You told him feeling extremely flustered. You don’t think you’ve felt like this ever before.

“Eh yeah goodnight.” He told you and scratched his head. You both kind of knew what just happened or well maybe almost happened, so when you saw him a little awkwardly you felt your heart sink and walked back to your room.

“We have to get them together by the end of Christmas.” Luna said to Kate. “Yeah, they are made for each other and they don’t see it. So we have to make them see it.” Luna and Kate gave each other a high five and got back into there room.

~next morning~

Luna and Kate came downstairs including aunt Angela, who clearly had a hangover. “nice sweater.” Kate said sarcastically, making Henry choke on his coffee and tried to hide his laugh but you already looked at him unamused. “Sorry” he said sheepishly. “Yes, I get it we hate this sweater.” You told them with an eye roll. “okay good, just wanted to make that clear.” Kate said. “Aunt Y/N, please come with us for rehearsal!” Luna begged you. You chuckled “That bad huh?” the girls nodded in unison. “She can’t go today, I need her help here.” Your mom said. “I can come, If you’d like that.” Henry offered. The girls were beyond exited and almost dragged him along

You walked downstairs still a little groggy from sleep. You saw Henry already chatting with your mom in casual clothes. You looked down at your Christmas pajamas that you just changed into and immediately felt embarrassed but before you could walk back up to change you heard “Hey, good morning sweetheart.” Your mom said and you turned back around. “Good morning.” You said with a small smile and looked at Henry who looked at you and your pajamas amused. He sipped from his coffee and raised his eyebrow playfully which you could see above the cup. You tried to hide your ugly Christmas sweater with your arms, which he chuckled at. “Nice pajamas. You need to show me where you bought them.” He said amused and you felt like you could just go through the floor and hide. Your mom gave you coffee and ushered you towards the counter, making you sit next to Henry who was still amused about your outfit.

You both separated for a little while.

Henry sat lazily in the chair, which you sat backwards on. His arms leaning on the back of the chair and his head rested on his arms. “So… You like aunt Y/N right?” Kate asked out of the blue, catching him off guard. “What?” he asked surprised. “Oh come on, we know how you look at each other. Just admit that you like her.” She told him casually. Henry sat up straight and felt a little confused. “Maybe you don’t see it yet, or your just blocking your feelings for her but everyone can see it.” he thought about it. “Aren’t you supposed to be up there?” he pointed towards the stage. “Yeah in a bit.” She said. “But just think about it. Friends don’t look at each other the way you both do.” She told him leaving him in his thoughts as she climbed on the stage.

Henry did have a lot of feelings for you but buried them deep down. he was scared, he never felt something like this before for someone else. But now that Kate pointed it out those feelings came bubbling up, making him realize again how much he actually likes you. Kate and Luna smirked at each other as they saw Henry deep in thought. He loved how you looked this morning even if he made a little bit of fun about it, he found you so adorable and cute and thinking about it made his heart flutter with love, like he never felt before. he thought back about other occasions like yesterday at the table, in the bedroom, your smile, how you always got his back, the jokes. Just everything and he realized and felt it again. The feelings were so extremely strong that he knew he couldn’t bury it anymore. But he didn’t want to say anything because he was scared. What if you didn’t feel the same?  He couldn’t lose you out of his life. He rather stay friends and feel like shit then having to lose you.

You wrapped some Christmas presents and after you were done, you decided you needed more alcohol as your family was bantering with each other again and you just had to escape. You hopped into the car and drove towards the supermarket. You got a lot of bottles of wine and some stronger liquid. Until your card bumped into someone else. You quickly looked up and saw Henry with a bottle of Whiskey in his hand, looking just as shocked as you. You both looked at each other’s cards. You saw that his was full of alcohol as well. “That bad?” you asked him chuckling. He blushed “No, I ehh know that your family is out of it and thought I should bring some with me on the way back.” you nodded and chuckled as you both got towards the check out. “You walked here?” you asked him. “Yeah, it wasn’t so far and I like the decoration of the town.” You nodded. “Yeah it’s great here.” He smiled at you and stared as you put everything down to be scanned.

Luna and Kate talked to your family and what had happened. So now it wasn’t only Kate’s and Luna’s mission to get you both together but your whole family was in the plan now. And they were already making plans. You both got home and your family decided on a movie night (part of their plan).

You got into some comfortable clothes. You sat at the corner of the couch, far from Henry and your mom frowned. Everyone was seated close to each other as there wasn’t much space. “Y/N? Can you please get something to drink?” your mom asked. You frowned as she was already standing there. “please?” she asked a little more stern and you got up. Your mom got into your seat, making the family chuckle a little. You got back with a bottle of whiskey and you saw that your mom claimed your seat. You narrowed your eyes at her. You wanted to sit on the ground but Luna, who sat next to Henry, said you could have her spot.

You frowned at everyone. Why were they acting so weird? You thought. You brushed it of and sat in Luna’s spot next to Henry. Everyone on the couch took a lot of space all of a sudden and you were pushed against Henry. You looked at him “I’m sorry.” He stared into your eyes and you felt flustered because he gave you a look he never gave you before. It was loving but more than normal. “It’s okay.” He told you and gave you a reassuring smile.

You all watched the movie and along the way you got more pushed to his side. You felt the heat radiating from his body and you wanted to melt into him. You used all your muscles to not lean into him even though you wanted to, you didn’t want to break any boundaries. But with the last shove you got, Henry could see you were really uncomfortable. “You can rest against me. I don’t mind sweetheart.” He told you in a whisper. “Are you sure? I don’t want to break any boundaries.” He just smiled at you and placed his arm around you, pushing you closer to him. Once your body leaned against his, you melted completely into his touch. It didn’t took long before you fell asleep. You haven’t felt so comfortable and safe in a long time.

~next morning~

You woke up in your own bed and you figured that someone brought you upstairs. Probably Henry as he was the strongest here and your family would just kick you awake.

You got up and felt in good spirit. You got changed and ready for the day. You looked outside and saw that everything was covered in a white duvet. You quickly got downstairs and saw for the first time that you were the first to be awake. You decided to make some pancakes and put some music on softly. You started to dance while making the pancakes. And I don’t mean gracefully sway around but full on rock it in the kitchen. You flipped the pancakes and danced further until you dramatically turned around on the beat, coming face to face with Henry, who had to hold back his laughter. He looked at you amused and with a smirk.

You felt like you could just die on the spot right there. “Henry…. hhey” you told him embarrassed. “Morning.” He told you chuckling. “You got some moves there.” he told you clearly still amused. You were a little out of breath from the dancing. “Yeah, we need to get you a little bell or something so I can hear you. it’s rude to walk up on people like this you know.” you tried to save your own ass. He smirked “Well I apologize in that case. But I wouldn’t have wanted to mis that.”

Luna and Kate came walking in, and of course saw everything. You placed the pancakes on the plates for everyone. “aunt Y/N? We really need to do something about that tree.” Luna pointed. You thought about it. “Yeah you’re right.” You told them “Henry why don’t you go with her?” Kate asked and he raised his eyebrow at the girls. He looked at you to be found by your eyes already. “Ehh yeah sure.” He told them but also you. “Great so we’re getting another tree?” your aunt Sophia asked and you nodded. “Good! I’ll distract her.” You smiled. You and Henry quickly ate breakfast and walked out, getting in the car.

It didn’t take long for you to get a Christmas tree. You got inside the house and Henry waited outside with the tree. Aunt Sophia got the memo and walked quickly towards your mother to distract her. You signed for Henry to come in and you both quickly put in where the first tree was standing. You, Henry, the girls and the boyfriend of Sophia helped you quickly decorate until you heard your om “Excuse me? What’s this.” you all froze and stopped what you were doing. “Okay before you get mad….” She looked unamused at you. “okay you’re already mad. But look it’s a fake tree, so you still don’t have to clean it every day. So basically it’s the same tree as the other but a little bigger and well, green.” You all looked hopeful at your mom. “Fine.” She gave you a smile. “I actually like it.” you smiled.

“Oh Y/N, Henry, could you maybe help the kids with the musical, it would help aunt Angela a lot. She started drinking at 12….” You all frowned a little. “Yeah sure.” You exchanged glances with Henry who nodded. You both walked towards the car again with the girls behind you. your family was giving each other high fives right now. The girls got in the back of the car and you drove off to the church.

“So how bad is it?” you asked them. Luna and Kate gave you all the information. You sighed “aunt Y/N? why can’t you just write something?” Kate asked. You smiled but shook your head. “no that wouldn’t be fair to aunt Angela. Trust me I know how it is. I was in your place too.” They let there head down. “But I’ll see what I can do.” They smiled.

You arrived. “Where’s the décor?” You asked them “we don’t have them.” You let out another sigh and looked at Henry “Want to make a décor?” he chuckled. “I would love nothing more.” he told you and gave you a loving smile. Luna and Kate grinned at each other. You looked down and felt flustered. “Kate, Luna, could you get the other kids, and maybe parents who want to help?” they nodded and went there way.

You searched through the old things of décor that you either could use or redecorate. You found some stuff and read the script to see what you needed. Luna and Kate came back with quite a large group of people who also happened to have a lot of stuff with them. You smiled at them. You all went to work, with the music blasting through the speakers. Everyone was doing something and laughing a lot. Henry got tea and coffee for everyone, while he kept looking at you with a smile on his face. you looked up and saw Henry smiling at you which you returned with a big smile and got focused on your task again.

“Just admit that you like her.” Kate said to Henry, making him jump at her presence. “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you but you have to admit it. We all saw how you stared at her with movie night when she fell asleep, or when you just stare at her in general.” She told him casually. He knew that these kids were trying to make you do activities together so you would be together, he figured. “You’re not going to drop this are you?” she shook her head. Henry let out a sigh and looked at you as his eyes immediately got softer. “That look, the look your giving her right now!” Henry rolled her eyes. “Okay look. Even if I would like her, we don’t know if she likes me back.” he saw the lights in Kate’s eyes “No, no, I haven’t said that I liked her like that. But there are more things than that. If she doesn’t like me… I can’t lose her as a friend or at all for that matter.” It came out before he could take it back. he looked shocked at Kate who had the biggest grin on her face. “I knew it.” she told him and quickly left before he could say anything at all.

Henry brought the coffee and tea to everyone before helping you out. You got some hay and placed it around the shed. Henry threw some on you and you both started to throw with hay, giggling. After a while you both looked around. everywhere was hay, but that was the point. “Well that’s sorted.” You chuckled. Henry walked up to you and you felt butterflies and tension in your stomach, like you were almost going down in a rollercoaster but not just yet. “You eh have some hay in your hair.” He chuckled and made a sign to take it out, which you nodded, giving permission. He smiled at got it out of your hair. You saw some in his hair too and picked it out as well. You both chuckled until your eyes found each other’s.

You were the first to look down. “We should go home.” He nodded. Everyone was getting ready to leave. You hugged everyone, thanking them. You all got into the car again and drove all of you home.

Henry helped you step out of the car since it was quite slippery. You took his hand in yours and smiled, feeling your heart fill with love. You both got out and looked at each other again as you held hands. You both got pulled out of it because of a snowball hitting you both and hearing the girls giggle behind you. You both looked at them and back to each other, silently agreeing and teaming up. You both grabbed some snowballs fast and threw them making the girls giggle and ran. You cousins came outside as well, wanting of course to play along and definitely with Superman. They even kept calling him Superman and not Henry, but of course he didn’t mind.

You all ran with snowballs hitting each other and obviously Luna and Kate had a plan. You were after Luna and Henry after Kate and when they saw that you both weren’t paying attention, they let you to each other so you would bump into them, and it worked. You crashed into his hard chest, falling on top of Henry. The girls picked up there little brothers and rushed inside, to give you some privacy. Well of course they would look at you in the window, where the rest of your family was already watching.

“I’m sorry.” You giggled. “It’s okay, you’re not hurt are you?” he asked you a little worried and you shook your head. You both looked deeply in each other’s eyes. You lowered your face subconsciously, You could feel your noses touch and Henry gave it a slight, loving nudge. He held you tightly by your waist and you could feel his breath. “Hey neighbor!” your neighbor said, making you both snap out of it and you got off of Henry. Everyone was throwing their hands up in anger at the window. “Hi, can I help you sir?” you asked your older neighbor. “Oh no, child. I saw that you were home again and wanted to greet you.” you nodded and gave him a polite smile. “Well have a nice Christmas and say hello from me to Agnetha!” you told him “Will do, merry Christmas!” you waved at him and looked at Henry.

It was a little awkward to say the least. “Want to go inside? You’re covered in snow.” You told him chuckling, which broke the tension. “I can’t go inside like this.” he told you. “Wait let me help.” You patted the snow of his back while chuckling. “Thank you.” he told you smiling. “You’re welcome.” You both walked inside like nothing had happened but it was nice because now it wasn’t uncomfortable.

You all had dinner together and tomorrow would be Christmas eve, meaning that the musical would be playing. You all played some games and Henry decided to go to bed early, the girls following after just like your aunt Sophia and her boyfriend.

You saw aunt Angela sitting on the porch with a drink, and you decided to join her. You sat next to her. “Hey.” You told her as you wrapped the blanket a little tighter around your body. “How are you my dear?” she asked you. You looked down a little. The emotions of being in love with your boss becoming to much to bare and you wanted to tell someone but you still were scared that the truth would come out that way, but aunt Angela decided to lead the conversation, once she noticed that you were lost in thoughts.

“He likes you, you know.” your head popped up, making her chuckle. “I’m sorry what?” she smiled at you “Henry… He likes you. and you like him don’t you? Everyone knows it except the two of you. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you get a deep connection with someone. And that connection is one of a lifetime. Some people don’t aren’t even that lucky…. But you two…. You two are. Don’t waist it. and before you ask me, how I know that he likes you, is because Kate and Luna had been talking to him and he accidently spilled it out but also because the way he looks at you. A woman, or a man can only wished to be looked at, the way he looks at you. That’s some stuff to think about, isn’t it?”

Your head went a thousand miles per hour right now. “I’m going to bed sweetheart, oh and thank you for helping today.” She told you and you smiled at her. She gave you a kiss and walked inside. You thought about what she said, and went back to memory lane. Know that she mentioned it, about the looks he gave you, she had a point but still that doesn’t say anything at all. And you didn’t want to lose Henry out of your life. He meant to much to you.

You got up and drank some whiskey in the hope to calm your racing mind and decided to go upstairs. You walked into your bedroom, to find the girls in your bedroom. “Are you kidding me?” you softly said. You looked into the room of the girls and saw that the boyfriend of your aunt was laying there. you rolled your eyes. You eyed the bedroom of Henry. It wouldn’t be the first time you slept together. I mean seriously just sleep. It was a nap because you both just drifted off.

You took a deep breath and softly opened his door. You saw his shirt laying on the ground and you snitched it, quickly putting it on in the hallway so you had at least something on. Maybe you can just sleep in between the girls you thought. But the guestroom bed was actually big enough for you and Henry, and Henry is a broad man.

You were still thinking to much about it until you heard henry groggy say: “You can come in you know.” you could make out his smile in the dark and you carefully closed the door. You stepped into his bed. “What’s going on?” he asked you softly and sweetly. “The girls are in my bed and the others are taken.” You saw him smile “of course they did.” You smiled at his response. “Is it okay if I stay here?” you asked him. “Of course! Don’t worry sweetheart.” He told you sincere. You gave him a soft thank you and closed your eyes. You did turn his way because that was the only way you could fall asleep. Henry softly opened his eyes and smiled at you as you peacefully laid next to him and closed his eyes after a while to get some sleep as well, feeling his heart flutter with so much love indescribable.

~next morning~

You woke up in a pair of strong, warm arms. You didn’t want to open your eyes, because you didn’t wanted this moment end. You could tell Henry was already awake because he softly went with his hand over your hair, playing a little with it. You felt your heart fill up with love.  You acted like you just woke up and stirred a little but not too much to get out of his grip. “Good morning” he told you and you could practically hear the smile in his voice. “Good morning.” You told him looking up. he was of course already looking at you. “Thanks for letting me crash here last night.” He smiled “My pleasure. I don’t hate waking up right now.” he told you and you felt flustered and shy. “Me neither.” You told him back.

“Can we… maybe just lay here for a little while longer?” you asked him carefully. He got a big smile. “Only if we can cuddle.” He told you, making you chuckle and you crawled up in his arms. You rested your head on his bare chest and he held you close to him, squeezing your body against his. You both relaxed and melted into each other. After an hour you both grew pretty hungry and decided to go downstairs. You walked in and saw the girls turn around. they were wearing, ridiculous clothes and their make up was way too much for a Jesus musical. You saw your aunt Sophia stressed as Henry chuckled at the antics of your nieces. “Y/N? Can you please do something?” she asked you desperate. “Yeah of course, but I need some food first.” You chuckled.

You quickly ate some breakfast and got the girls upstairs and fixed there make-up. “so…. You like Henry right?” Kate said, making you look up. gosh did you hope that they would just drop it. “It’s not so easy Kate.” She frowned at you. “Then tell us.” You let out a sigh. “Fine. I like him, have been since I met him but he’s my best friend and boss. Not that I care at this point that he’s my boss but I care because he’s my best friend. I’ve never had such a good connection with someone before and I can’t lose him.” you told them honestly. “Well what if we told you that he likes you too.” Luna said.

You thought about it. “But what if it doesn’t work out? I can’t take that risk.” Luna smiled at you. “But what if it does work out?” you smiled at them. “You both are too wise for your age.” You told them and was done with fixing the make-up. “Thank you aunt Y/N” they told you, giving you a hug and rushed downstairs with you. You had to rush towards the church to help, getting everything ready. Kate and Luna pulled Henry aside “we talked to aunt Y/N and she really likes you too!” they told him excitedly before running in, leaving Henry behind in surprise. He couldn’t contain his smile and walked in.

You all got everything ready and you got pushed into the kitchen, where you had a good view if you laid down on the table. It was some sort of window where you could give the food through. You laid onto the table and heard the door opening. You looked who it was and it was Henry. He frowned at you but chuckled. “Look! I have the best view, well maybe not the best but good enough!” you signed for him to join you. He chuckled and laid on the table next to you. You were both propped up to each other but neither of you cared.

The musical started and it went great! Henry looked at you “This is all because of you” Henry told you and you gave him a shy smile and nudged your shoulder against his. He chuckled and did the same, making you giggle. After a while where there was a heartwarming moment in the musical, Henry put his arm around you. he was scared at first for your reaction but much to his surprise, you leaned into him and rested your head a little on his shoulder and held his hand with the hand where his arm was  around. He rubbed with his thumb over the back of your hand.

Your mom saw how you both hang around each other and how you both smiled and laughed at the play in front of the two of you. You never looked so happy and Henry looked pretty happy too if she might say so. She nudged her boyfriend and the other family members. They all got a big smile on their faces. You guys looked so in love, like two old souls who have loved each other in every lifetime had found each other again. “Their not together yet” the boyfriend of your mother said. “Yet…. Indeed not yet.” She told him with a smile.

After the play you both crawled of the table, Henry helping you of course. You giggled and you both walked hand in hand out towards your family. They looked at your hands and you immediately let go of his hand. “Let’s celebrate at that pub!” your aunt Sophia said and you all agreed. Henry looked down, his hand feeling very much empty and cold without yours in it, but he didn’t wanted to make you feel uncomfortable.

You all went to the bar and ordered your drinks. Henry ordered a Guinness of course. You had some rum with a cola. You sat next to Henry and looked at how your aunt Angela tried to hit on Santa who was singing songs in the pub. You both laughed so much at the situation. You had tears in your eyes and rested your forehead on his shoulder as you both kept laughing and your aunt was almost grinding on Santa, not that that Santa minded it but still. Your other aunt and mom trying to get her off of the stage. It was a sight to see.

You both drank your drinks and you felt a slight buzz going through your system. “This is actually one of my favorite Christmases I’ve ever had and it’s not even Christmas.” He told you softly as he looked deeply in your eyes. You smiled at him “Well I’m very glad to hear that. I hope my family hasn’t scared you off.” he chuckled. “No, I actually felt normal for once. I mean I have that with my family too but they always want to know about new projects or movies… I love them to death but sometimes I wished they wouldn’t ask about it as much. The only thing that reminds me that I’m an actor are your little cousins running around calling me Superman.” You giggled at that. “But I don’t mind it at all. it’s quite adorable, and I love how you interact with your family.” You smiled at the kind words. “Thank you for saying all of that Hen. It’s nice to hear.” You told him and he nudged your shoulder, making you giggle.

You ordered another drink and chatted about some funny memories, making Henry laugh. You haven’t seen Henry laugh this much and this honest in a very long time, it did you good to see it. You told him a story about you ice-skating. “No, I just can’t believe you’re that good in ice-skating. I mean you have many talents but I doubt this.” you frowned and put your drink aside. “Do I hear a challenge Cavill?” you asked him and he chuckled but saw that you were serious making him smile brightly. “Okay yeah sure a challenge it is.” You nodded “Alright let’s go then.” You looked shocked at you. “Wait, what, now?” you nodded as you gulped the drink down and stood up. “Or are you scared?” he chuckled. “Nope let’s go.” He put some money on the table and you both walked out.

You pointed where you had to go and it was just a two minute walk. Luckily it was still open but there were no people. You saw that the person was cleaning up but luckily you knew her and you both liked each other. She gave you both the skates and told you to just put it back and she told you a hiding spot for the key. You thanked her a couple of times and she took a picture with Henry before saying goodbye.

You both put on the skates and once they were on you looked at Henry. “Ready?” he chuckled as you already stood up. “Bring it on Y/L/N” you held out your hand for him to reach and he took it. He saw that you took this serious and chuckled. These were one of the many things that he loved about you. not everything had to be planned out but you just dragged him along to do something spontaneous.

You got on the ice. “Alright well you first skater girl.” He told you. you chuckled. “I’ll set my timer, you’ve got ten seconds to get to the other side.” you nodded and he counted down before you skated to the other side. Henry didn’t want to lie, he was very impressed. It took you 8 seconds. He clapped and you bowed before slowly skating back.

“Alright I’m impressed, you got me there.” you smiled brightly. “Your turn Superman.” He gave you a glare and you chuckled. You counted down and he was off. He was fast 8,2 seconds. You clapped as well and he skated back. “We should go against each other.” You told him and he agreed as you both had fun. You both counted down and skated to the other side but in the middle it went wrong.

You slipped and probably sprained your ankle. You groaned as you held your knee up to you which had scrapes on it. As soon as Henry heard the fall he stopped and turned around, skating towards you. “Y/N, are you okay?” he asked worried and he heard you groan in pain. “I think I sprained my ankle. He nodded “Let’s get you back carefully okay?” you nodded. He looked at the exit, thinking how he could get you off the ice without hurting you. “Let me put my arm around you and I’ll carefully skate with your help to the exit.” You told him as you saw him thinking. “Are you sure?” you nodded. “Alright let’s get you off this ice.”

He helped you up and skated to the exit. It did hurt a lot and when you sat down you wiped some tears away and you saw Henry looking extremely worried, like you’ve never seen him before. He carefully got your skates off, hearing you groan as he got it off the bad ankle. He immediately made eye contact. “it’s okay” you tried to reassure him. He looked at your ankle. “Yeah definitely sprained but I still want it to be checked out.” He told you and you nodded. He placed the key back. “Let me just make it a little easier for you.” Henry told you and signed for his back. “Hen, are you sure...? I mean…” he looked at you with a raised eyebrow. “Sweetheart, you know how much I lift. Trust me okay?” you nodded and got on his back. He turned his head a little to look at you with a smile. “See?” he told you and you nodded  with a smile.

The hospital was quiet so you got help pretty fast and it was indeed a sprained ankle. They taped it in for you and gave you a brace for it. You wished them a merry Christmas and you both got back home. It was pretty late and you texted your mom what had happened and she told you not to worry about Christmas Eve. You would all celebrate tomorrow anyway since your aunt Angela was drunk, the kids were tired, your other aunt Sophia and her boyfriend were pretty smashed as well so it was fine. She was more worried about you.

Henry helped you out of the cab but it was a little harder to get you on his back now so he just picked you up wedding style and walked towards the door as you giggled. You opened the door while Henry still held you in his arms. He placed you on the couch. Your mom was still up and you told her what it was and tried to calm her down, which worked after a while. Henry smiled at you from the kitchen counter as he was making tea.

Your mom went upstairs and Henry brought the tea to the table. “Snacks?” he asked and you nodded, making you both grin. “Bear? There’s still good ice cream in the freezer.” You whispered, yelled. You got the tv remote and put on a movie. Henry was off his tracks. This was the first time you called him something else besides Henry or Hen. He felt his heart explode with love and could even describe what he felt right now but he knew that he never wanted another nickname except bear. It made him feel like your protector and that you felt safe with him, which was true.

“Can you find it? I know I hid it from everyone.” You told him sheepishly, getting him out of his thoughts. “eh yeah” he told you and looked around in the freezer. He saw it. there was a lot of ice cream but he knew you well enough to know that, that was the one. He took it out and got two spoons, walking back. He saw that you had put on the grinch and you giggled at the movie. He just couldn’t stop smiling. He was so mesmerized by you. He sat down next to you and you gave him a warm smile. “Thank you for today, I had a lot of fun and well, it kind off was worth the sprained ankle.” You told him and he chuckled. “I’m glad you had fun. I did too but please don’t do it again though” you both chuckled “I can’t make any promises.”

“Here put your legs on mine.” He told you and helped you put them on his lap. You murmured a soft sweet thanks. You opened the cap of the ice cream and got a nice spoon full. Henry ate some too. “Oh this is indeed really good.” He told you and you hummed “That why I hide it”  he chuckled “smart move.” You cuddled a little in the couch but couldn’t find a comfortable position. Henry saw you struggle a little and looked at you amused as you kept fidgeting around. “Can I maybe help?” he asked you. “Can I lean against you?” he smiled as you asked shyly. “You don’t have to ask sweetheart.” You nodded and made yourself comfortable in his arms and snuggled against him, you were almost laying entirely on his lap. He smiled at you. you both finished the ice cream and watched the movie a little further. You was so focused on the movie that you didn’t realized that you grabbed Henry’s sweater and held it in your fist so you could be closer.

He smiled and he could feel his heart melt. He couldn’t take it anymore. He placed his finger underneath your chin and you looked up confused at him. he looked deeply into your eyes and there was this trance again. His face came closer and he nudged your nose softly, making you smile and he smiled as well. He softly brushed his lips over yours so you could still pull back if you wanted to but instead you leaned forward, placing your lips on his you could hear him sigh through it as a sign of relieve. His hand cupped your cheek and deepened the kiss and you let him. You felt your heart flutter from love and you pulled him closer as you went with your hands through his hair, making him sigh into the kiss again. After a while the need for air became too much so you both had to part.

You looked at each other in shock but also in love. “I really like you Y/N, have since the day that I met you. And if you don’t like me back, than please forget about this because I don’t want to lose you.” he was rambling this time and you placed your lips on his this time. Once he melted into you and calmed down, you pulled back. “I really like you too. Have been from the beginning as well. But I’m scared…. What if it doesn’t work out? I can’t lose you.” you told him softly as you went with your fingers through his hair. He gave you a soft, loving smile. “Love, I’m not planning on letting you go anywhere. You are it for me and I’m scared too but I rather be scared with you then to not take this chance. I’ve never felt this with anyone else. Not even close to it, so I know it’s you for me. Let’s be scared together.” You smiled softly. “okay….Let’s be scared together then.” Was all you could say. With that he gave you a long awaited passionate kiss, what took your breath away.

Once you decided to go to bed you looked at him “please stay with me tonight?” he smiled at you. “Of course pup.” He told you and you’ve never felt so extremely loved, you could just cry from happiness. You swung your arms around him and he chuckled but held you tightly. “Let’s go upstairs then.” He picked you up and carried you to your room. He helped you change and got some big shirt of him on you. You laid down after freshening up. Henry came not long after and you both laid face to face. His hand rested on your cheek as his thumb rubbed softly on your skin.

You just stared at each other. “I’m happy.” You told him. He understood that you meant, that you didn’t have to bury those feelings anymore. “I’m happy too.” You smiled and scooped a little closer. “Just wait till they here it tomorrow.” You told him and he laughed “Yeah, they’re going to lose there minds.” You both chuckled. “Merry Christmas Bear.” He nuzzled your nose again “Merry Christmas pup.” He placed his lips on yours and lazily made out before hiding in his arms, against his chest.

You turned to your side and Henry spooned you, placing his arms around you and pulled you close to his chest as he rested his had besides your neck, giving little kisses. “Good night pup.” You smiled “good night bear.”

You woke up feeling finally peaceful and serene, with no worries on your mind. You smiled as you felt the walking heater next to you. You turned around and placed your arms around his waist. You heard Henry chuckle “Good morning sweetheart.” You smiled “Good morning bear.” After an hour of cuddling and making out, Henry carried you downstairs on his back.

“Hey Merry Christmas!” your mom and aunt Sophie told in unison. You gave everyone a hug. You and Henry had agreed to telling when everybody was downstairs, just to see their reaction as you both figured out there plan. Slowly everyone came downstairs and first were the presents. You got some funny and memorable stuff. Henry though, gave you a photo album with all the pictures you took together, on premiers, planes, just everything where you both took a picture at and wrote the memory besides the picture. And not just the place and time but what made the memory fun. You smiled at him and wanted to kiss him. he saw it and gave you a little nod. You placed your lips on his and you heard gasps all around you, making you both chuckle in the kiss. “Oh my god it’s really Christmas now!!” your aunt Angela said. Everyone was losing their minds and you laughed a little but you both had only eye for each other right now.  “I love it. This means so much to me.” you told him softly, not that anyone could hear because they were still too busy losing it.

“I’m glad you like it pup.” Everyone came up to you and gave you and Henry a hug and welcomed him into the family ( officially now).  Once everyone was done with celebrating and giving each other high fives at the win, which made you both chuckle. “You both just needed a little help and shove into the right direction.” Kate said. You looked at each other and smiled. “You know what Kate? We really did needed both of your help. Otherwise we would probably still too scared to admit it.” Henry told the girls and you nodded. “Henry’s right. Thank you ladies.” They smiled and gave the both of you a hug.

Once everyone scattered around the house again, you sat on Henry’s lap a little. “I actually still have a gift for you. I just didn’t want everyone to see it.” you told him. You gave him the carefully wrapped present. He looked at you in surprise but you gave him a sweet smile. It was a book. Freshly published. Well sort off, it’s still the first version. Henry looked at you and read the back of the book. This time his eyes shot up in surprise at you. “You wrote this?” you nodded. He got the biggest smile. “It’s still the first copy but yes, I wrote everything and maybe just maybe it was based off of you. but I obviously changed your name. It’s a fantasy book and I wanted you to have the first copy.” You knew Henry loved to read fantasy books, so why not write one for him.

He looked up and you could see that he absolutely loved it. His face told you everything you needed to know. He even became a little emotional. He gave you a big hug. “This is the best gift I have ever given. I’m so proud of you! This is your first book! You have to publish it.” he told you and you chuckled. “just read it first. I want you to be the first one.” He smiled and gave you a big kiss.

Everyone was doing something until in the afternoon and Henry was absolutely lost in the book. That was also how you knew he loved it. Some now and then he would look above the book with a grin. “Dear, this was based on me right?” he asked you and you chuckled. It wasn’t smut but he was kind of the rescuer and protector from the main character. He was a main character as well by the way. You felt flustered “ yes loosely based on you.” you teased him, making you tickle your sides, making you laugh. “Okay, okay. Yes based on you.” he smirked. “Good.” He told you and gave you a kiss on your forehead before continuing reading.

This was the best Christmas of your entire life and you knew that there were so many to come, but with Henry by your side, you would look forward to each day, knowing you got your biggest Christmas yet. Who knew Santa was real?

You thought about texting Beard as you shut the door to your apartment ready to crawl back into the cocoon of sadness you’d been developing over the past few days. It felt childish to wallow like that but you had let yourself fall and that was what happened. You didn’t text anyone; instead, you set your phone to ‘do not disturb’ again and alternated between thinking you deserved the hurt and letting yourself be angry that Ted had let you down so badly. Of all the things you had thought of that could go wrong on Henry’s trip—and you had thought of many—Ted getting back together with his ex-wife had never crossed your mind. 

Because your phone was on do not disturb you were surprised when there was a knock at the door. Maybe you shouldn’t have been surprised to see Ted, maybe deep down you were hoping he’d show up, but unfortunately, he’d caught you in the midst of nothing but anger. You didn’t say anything as the door swung open, just gestured for him to come in and shut the door before making your way back to the couch. 

“HI baby,” Ted greeted you, his voice soft with worry. 

Baby? BABY. You didn’t think you could be more upset but “baby” unleashed a whole new level of hurt. You wanted to suggest that he should only be calling Michelle that, but instead, you said nothing, and Ted shifted on his feet not sitting down. Not crowding you. Just waiting. 

“Hey, Y/N, what’s going on here? You, uh, seemed real upset at the park and I haven’t heard from you…” 

“Yeah, well I haven’t heard from you either,” you stated. You were trying your best for neutral, unaffected. Part of you felt like he didn’t deserve your anger, but the other part still wanted this to be salvageable. You loved him and he hurt your feelings, it happened. But, God, the embarrassment of explaining why you were even upset to begin with, the fact that he didn’t notice. 

Ted took a deep breath. “I know. I know. We haven’t really gotten a chance to ourselves and I know you know that I never would have kept Michelle coming from you. I genuinely didn’t know she was feelin’ the way she felt about it all and—”

“And that’s why you’re getting back together. I get it. Whatever. You’ve got a family, I guess it was silly of me to think this was ever going to be more.” 

“Woah hold on now.” Ted held his hands up defensively and edged closer. “Who said anything about—” 

“‘Divorce is so much harder than I thought it would be,’” you quoted and he cringed as if you had hit him. “The canceling of plans. The excuse you made for me at the park, that I didn’t need by the way, just to what? Keep me from Henry? Make sure Michelle knew nothing was going on between us? God, Ted, where is she even staying, huh? I feel so fucking stupid.”

Ted was gaping at you while you spoke but nothing slowed the words tumbling from your mouth. Now that you’d let out a bit of anger it continued to pour like steam from a pressure cooker. When you were done, he sat beside you stiffly. He moved an arm like he might reach for your hand, but thought better of it. 

“Darlin’. Y/N. I wish you would have told me. I…All this time I thought I was doing the right thing by you. I thought when you left the bar you were overwhelmed with meeting Henry. I wanted to, ya know, give ya space before you even had to ask. Give ya an excuse for not bein’ ready…And I thought I was doing the right thing by Michelle because SHE’S been overwhelmed with basically bein’ a single parent and I guess I felt like I’d be making it up to her this week—”

“Yeah, I’m sure she has.” As soon as the words left your lips you knew it was petty and unfair. You wanted to suck in your derision. You weren’t the type of person to blame the other woman for what the partner had fucked up. And yet. 

“Don’t,” Ted said quietly, not unkindly but seriously. He stood up from the couch and stepped away. “You know, I can admit that I may have messed up these past few days, that I read some things wrong. Did too much on account of how my, uh, well, my marriage failed in the past. And I’m very sorry. Very. But you knew I had a family, you knew this would take some work and I just…I guess I just wish you could be a little more understanding.” 

That stung and your face didn’t hide it. You didn’t respond and Ted waited an awkward amount of time for you to say or do anything but you just turned away and burrowed deeper into the couch. Eventually, he sighed and left and when the door closed you wept.

You had never, not once, missed Reverse Book Club since its inception, but today, the day after your blowout argument with Ted, you were strongly considering it. But you knew Beard would come looking anyway, so it made more sense just to get it over with. You picked up the book you hadn’t touched since that day in the park and made your way to the Crown & Anchor. 

Beard took one look at you and sat down Red, White, and Royal Blue , taking a long sip of his beer and waiting for you to say something. You had planned to say nothing, per the rules of Reverse Book Club, no matter what had happened before, no matter how much you had come to rely on Beard’s sage words. When you didn’t start talking, the older man prompted you. “You’ve been crying.” 

And it was his soft tone, the concern and lightly restrained anger underneath that made your resolve crumble like biscuits. Tears were escaping before you said your first word, and once you opened your mouth you couldn’t stop. Beard listened intently, offering only a sigh here or a nod there and your eyes were too blurry with tears to read him well. When you finished he didn’t say anything, just nodded, patted your hand gently, and nudged your book toward you before picking up his own. You thought you had wanted a pep talk, but upon realizing you wouldn’t get one you were so thankful to just turn into your book, turn into yourself, and let the sadness sit. 

A few hours after Reverse Book Club ends you get a text from Ted asking if you can come over. It makes you a little nauseous, then a little angry that he’d make you come to him to get formally broken up with, and then underneath it all a little hopeful, a little lighter now that you’d heard from him. You tried not to rush to him, to cushion everything over and make up, but it only took you 20 minutes to get there and knock at his door. 

You weren’t sure what to expect on the other side but were surprised that as Ted opened the door with one hand, he was pulling you into his chest with the other. He held you tightly and tears threatened at the corners of your eyes but never fell. You noticed as he released you and led you into the kitchen that the flat was quiet, it was just the two of you there. And just Ted and Henry’s shoes lined up in the doorway. 

Ted pulled a chair out for you and then for himself, sitting closely so that his knee was touching yours. He opened his mouth to speak but you quickly cut him off, surprising the both of you.

“What happened? I mean, what changed? That’s…that’s the first time we’ve touched in a week.” You asked, a little brokenly. 

Ted smiled softly. “I know, I’ve felt like my skin was itchin’ not holdin’ you every night.” 

You wanted to smile but you needed him to be serious now, not cute. You needed to know where you stood and he caught on to that quickly and continued to answer. 

“But really—Beard came by here after Reverse Book Club and, uh, told me what’s what. Knocked some sense into me, almost literally I might add.”

“What did he say? How much of a sad sack I was?”

“No, he told me what a fool I’d been trying to people-please anyone and everyone all the time and that no one was going to be happy with the outcome, not you, not Michelle, and definitely not me. Because I was about to run you off and he just got into Red, White, and Royal Blue so I better not mess up book club.”

That time you did smile, touched by Beard’s friendship. 

“After that, I had a good long talk with Michelle about what was goin’ on. She seemed confused why you weren’t around more like she had expected you to be. She had no idea she was the reason and when I admitted how badly I had screwed up, I got quite the earful. And it's especially embarrassing because I know you. Just as well as I think you know me. And I should have been able to figure all this out on my own, but it took my best friend and my ex-wife to make me realize I was causing pain to the person that is the best partner I’ve ever had the pleasure of callin’ mine.” 

Ted took your hand and you let him as you let his words wash over you. 

“God, I was so, so mad at you Ted.” 

“I know. I know and I deserve it. And I understand if there’s no coming back, but I just had to try. I asked Michelle to take the little man to her hotel for a while and maybe out for ice cream or somethin’ so we could talk and when she drops him back off she’s gonna go do some solo sightseeing. And I thought maybe we could…” 

Ted pulled out the Lego set you had bought to do with Henry, the Lego Starry Night that had been incredibly hard to come by. You found yourself caught on the small phrase Ted had slipped in: her hotel . The idea of Michelle staying here, of them getting back together was the foundation of your belief that this was all over. You were glad it wasn’t the truth. Glad that Ted felt remorse over how much he had hurt you. And most importantly you had never stopped being head over heels with the silly American. 

“Now before you go acceptin’ my apology or breakin’ up with me, either of which is well within your right, I just want to state succinctly and for the record: I have been a big ol’ idiot assuming what everyone around me wants instead of just listenin’ to what they’re sayin’. I’m so sorry I hurt you sweetheart and I’ll do everything in my power to make sure it never happens again.” 

You smiled at him, a real smile, and asked, “and what do you want Ted?”

“Oh well, that’s easy. I want you a part of my life and a part of this family for as long as I can have you. What do you say Y/N?”

You leaned forward and held his face in both hands, locking your eyes on his, your lips just a whisper apart. “I say I love you very much.” 

You kissed him and it felt like coming home. Like resolution and heartbreak. Like coffee and biscuits and promises. It felt like only a moment, but you knew the two of you had lost yourselves in catching up on affection when you heard a knock at the door. You broke apart as it swung open, a giddy and slightly sticky Henry barreling through. 

“Y/N’s here! You should have come for ice cream.”

You laughed, pulling Henry in for a big hug. “Sorry I couldn’t make it kiddo, buuuuuut I bought you something.” You pick up the Lego set from the kitchen table and Henry’s eyes go wide. “I thought it was something we could do together. Your dad told you I work in an art gallery right?”

Henry nodded, a huge grin spread across his ruddy cheeks. “That’s so cool. The Legos and the art gallery…I think. What do you do at an art gallery?”

Henry was already pulling you to the living room to start building as you told him about your job. Ted was having a quiet conversation with Michelle at the door and you purposely tried not to listen in but couldn’t help but catch her saying, “tell her I’m sorry.”

Ted joined the Lego revelry in the living, quickly putting himself in charge of sorting while Henry built and you instructed. It was a smooth operation with lots of giggles and stories intermixed. You caught Ted’s eye as you put down the instruction, taking a break to bring something up. 

“You know, there’s an exhibit opening at the gallery tomorrow. It’s, uh, comic book art—maybe that’s something you’d be into?”

Henry was already bouncing. “Can we Dad? Me, you, and Y/N?”

“I think that’s a great idea, bud!”

“Don’t forget your mom, she might want to come too,” you added casually as you picked the instructions back up, but you didn’t miss Ted’s inquisitive look. But you meant what you said and when Henry readily agreed you smiled at Ted and he smiled back. 

“And then dinner with Uncle Beard?” 

“Yeah that’s a great plan kid,” you answered before building began again.
