Last Straw (Lando Norris x Reader)

Thank you for the 400 followers. I love Lando but I felt like a bit of angst was needed.

Part 1 of Fading Shadow

Summary- Lando has been in a relationship for quite some time, most people didn't know that. Finally, the world finds out about Lando's girlfriend, he seems to forget about her.

Warning- Lando is a bit of an ass and the reader is a bit of a doormat

{Reader's POV}

Lando won the second race of his career and the season at Zandvoort, Max's home race. I was over the moon watching Lando cross the finish line. He was so happy to have won another race, finally. As he got out of the car he ran to his parents; after the greeting and congratulations, he walked away to be interviewed. I was stood there, dumb founded as Lando left without even acknowledging my existence; I could hear people whispering as Lando walked away

When we got back to the hotel, "Lan, do you wanna go out to celebrate?" I asked looking at him as he got ready for a shower. "Oh, Y/N, I made plans with the others; none of their girlfriends are coming. It'd be weird" he stated. "Oh, yeah, obviously. Well, I hope you have fun. I'll be here waiting for you" I said trying to give him a smile but I felt tears well up. Lando left soon after, while I was sat in the hotel scrolling through twitter when I saw something I wish I hadn't. I couldn't stop myself from reading through the tweets.

I could already imagine my friends screaming at me for staying after everything. It had always been like this, it always felt like Lando was too embarrassed to be seen with me. We started dating a year and a half back but we met 2 years back, when I was on a vacation with my friends. He was the best guy, or so I thought. We exchanged numbers and stayed in contact until he asked me out. It was straight out of a movie, the whole nine yards. But he wouldn't let me tell my friends, "baby come on, why do you wanna tell everyone and ruin the fun just yet. I like the thrill, isn't it fun trying to act like there's nothing between us" he said as he pushed me on my back on the sofa while his lips trailed the exposed skin on my torso; honestly I'd lose any train of thought once his lips were on my skin. Though I accidentally let it slip one day, they had been trying to get me to go on a blind date. So, I told them I was dating Lando Norris. They were so excited and wanted to meet him.

When Lando found out about that, he was furious and didn't speak to me for days. "HOW COULD YOU TELL THEM? AFTER ALL THE TIMES I TOLD YOU NOT TO....ARE YOU STUPID?" he shouted. "Lan, it was an honest mistake. They kept trying to set me up on a blind date and I didn't wanna go, obviously since I have you. Please, I'm sorry. I won't do anything stupid again. Please just join me for lunch on Sunday. I'm really sorry" I cried. "Then you should've gone on that stupid date" he spat as he walked away. I should've known then. It was only after I begged and pleaded that Lando agreed to meet my friends. He never let me forget how he did me a favour by agreeing to meet my friends. "baby, you know how much I love you right" he asked. "yeah" I replied as he intertwined his fingers with mine. "I can't share you with others. I get so jealous. You're mine and only mine. And that's why I can't have you meet my friends" he said as he started sucking on my neck.That's why I didn't bring up the fact that I hadn't met his friends since we'd known each other for a year and dating for half of it. We barely even went out on dates; we'd always have in home dates since he was a celebrity and didn't like the paps. He would always say that he enjoyed the normalcy and the feeling of being a regular guy with me. "Baby, do you really wanna go out, where we would be spotted and then people say stuff about us. Don't you like being home, wear whatever you want. I can touch you however I want. Come on, why do you wanna ruin something so perfect" he hummed against my lips as his fingers pushed my underwear aside. I was so naive and thought that he was such a romantic guy.

It a little before our 1 year anniversary when I started asking him to take me along to the races since I wanted to be there to support him in person. "Lan, I really wanna be there for your races. I wanna see my boyfriend being cool at what he does." I whined. "You already do see me on the teli, it's practically the same" he said. "Please Lan" I begged. "Baby, I love you I truly do and I wanna show you off to the world but you know how the fans can get, they ruined my last relationship and I can't lose you. I love you too much" he said making me blush. I believed him like the idiot that I was. I believed every lie that left his pretty lips even when he would say that all those pictures of him on twitter with girls were edited and that he would never do that to me. I believed him.

I don't know how much I begged to be at a race and when I got to go to the first race of my life with him as his girlfriend and of the season; I was ecstatic. I made sure to be dressed well so as to not embarrass Lando and made sure to be a little controlled in my movements even though I was super excited to be there since I loved Formula One. All the other drivers were pretty shocked to meet me and even more so when they found out we'd been dating. They were all very kind and so were their girlfriends. I thought we'd be the best of friends and I'd have someone to hang out with while my boyfriend raced. Oh how stupid I was, they never even told me that Lando cheated on me or that their boyfriends knew and they never told me. I had an inkling that Lando was cheating on me; I saw it with my own eyes on the night before my birthday; the day of the Miami GP and he was celebrating with everyone and I saw him kissing a girl. No one saw me because I left immediately and cried myself to sleep. I hated myself for never confronting Lando; I brushed it off thinking that if I tried harder Lando would be back to himself, the Lando I know. But the Lando I knew was a facade and never existed. Lando had only been playing with my heart, it seems.

Did I tell you? He forgot our anniversary and said he would make it up to me. Which I do not believe he has. "Fuck baby, I'm sorry" he whispered as he wiped away my tears. "You know how busy I've been with the season starting and stuff. You'll forgive me right? I'll make it up to you, promise." he said while I nodded along to him. My friends hated his guts, but I was the one covering for him. When they asked why we weren't public; I said I wanted to be private. When they asked about Lando's multiple infidelities I would lie to their face and say that everything was a lie and a ploy to ruin his reputation; that's what I knew then and believed. I would see them face palm themselves mentally, now that I thought about it.

I guess being embarrassed by the man you love, multiple times, publicly can fuck you up. Because right now, I couldn't even cry anymore. I couldn't believe the other girls wouldn't even reply to my texts on the group chat; they added me to. This was humiliating. I was done with that asshole and I wasn't about to let him walk all over me anymore.

I wiped away the tears that were streaming down my face. I got dressed and decided to show up at the same bar he was at. When I entered, I saw him, dancing and drinking with others. I saw the other drivers with their girlfriends; I couldn't help but laugh bitterly. I walked up to the bar and sat down and started ordering the most expensive drinks they had. "Bad day?" The bartend asked. "Horrible, my boyfriend's been cheating on me" I chuckled. "I'm sorry." he looked apologetic. "You have nothing to apologise for. Just add the tab of every drink I put down my throat to that guy in the white shirt" I said directing his eyes to Lando. "Lando Norris?" he asked. "Yeah" I said and started to drink. I was sure Lando saw, I could feel it. I felt multiple eyes. I felt my phone buzz multiple time; I wasn't sure if it was some one who cared about me or those assholes since I didn't want to check my phone.

After a good hour of just drowning my feelings in alcohol, I stumbled my way out of the bar. I had made the decision to move out of that hotel room to another hotel and stay there before I flew back to get all my stuff. Lando would be too hammered to realise I was gone. I woke up the next morning with a major hangover but I knew what I wanted. I flew back to our his home in Monaco and took all my stuff; thankfully not a lot and left with a note on the table saying 'We are done'. I left any and everything he gave me, which wasn't a lot when you think about how I was dating a millionaire. I blocked Lando's number while I waited for my flight back home, can't believe I gave so much up for this man boy. I will be putting myself first finally.

{Lando's POV}

I saw her, but I wasn't sure if it was really Y/N so I texted her but no reply. Apparently, she was at the bar we were at but she didn't approach me or us. Everyone saw her, I thought she didn't see us but I found out she knew I was there since she billed everything she had to me; which was a lot of alcohol, almost enough to cover half the amount I spent on the group. I knew I was fucked. I had no idea how I was gonna explain myself to her. I tried texting her but no reply. I think she blocked me and when I saw twitter I saw Y/N had posted a story but I couldn't see it either; guess she blocked me on there too.

I flew back as soon as I was able to, to find the house empty and a note on the table saying we're done. I guess I deserved that after the shit I pulled; well at least it's not as messy as I expected it to be.

[s0lar-ch3ri]

what if i wanted to make another insane promo post?

yeah, ik, its promo time again. BUT this time around i do wanna add in the post both my cousin and niece

one thing i did get wrong, heartz is my niece, starz is my cousin! this will basically be going over what each of these 2 do (...and im also adding in a bonus competitor/promoed person, well actually 2 because I GOT A CHANNEL YIPPEE)

each channel will be seperated up so yeah lets go!

first channel:

Starzzz.andgalaxy (my actual cousin, lol) is a great yter who absolutely deserves to be celebrating more then just 170 subs! since shes actually here with me, i can let her say a lil something on the matter:

"hello! I would love to reach 200 subscribers at least, I think my hard work should not be for nothing!" <- her typing

shes very very fun (and also with this i hope all the god damn hate comments shut lol) and does very cool things such as:

Roblox videos

(comment is from me lol, we'll get there soon) For right now these are just rating videos of her avatar, but I find them very fun (plus since I play roblox if needed I can help with filming lol)! Not much to say on it cause it's not a common kind of post, so onto the next form, which is:

2. Art

As you can see, she does very cool art, this one in particular is a tutorial on how to draw bodies. Is it the best? No, but the fact she's trying makes it great! (this is also where I've seen a couple hate comments come up, so yeah, I'm trying to be mature enough to not commit violence for her upon them) She does admit this video isn't her best work, but she does A LOT of very very cool drawings! Go check them out and her channel of course! There is one thing she also posts about which I love most of all...

3. Paper Dragons!!

(the first image is her first dragon, second is her most recent i think) I don't get how these things are "paper furries", but I do know THEY ARE SICK AS FUCK. I got to see one in person and they're very cool, all with different stories! I honestly wanna ask for one but right now, I'm gonna stick with watching them.

Channel link can be found here:

(this section was finished on january first of 2024, so at the point of this being posted she wont be over here, but i had her here so yeah :D i love my cousin)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second channel:

Heartzzz.❤️ is my niece, and she does similar content, but still does good content! A couple of videos of Starz and Heartz are them promoting each other, so yeah. While she is on vacation and can't be here to give her reasons to subscribe to you, I certainly can!

Memes

One thing I forgot to mention my cousin doing (well, actually my cousin's section is just kinda old because it's from when she last came over, but she's back to help me again, yay!) is making memes like this. Sometimes they do involve a paper dragon, but I think they're pretty funny and/or relatable (also dragons very cool)!

2. Edits (and Undertale related things)

I'm putting these 2 in the same category just because of the example image above. While my cousin has recently started doing edits, Heartz is the only 1 of the 2 to make anything Undertale related. While the Undertale stuff comes once every blue moon it seems, that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

I actually found in her description a run down on what she does post, so here:

Link to her channel can be found right here:

(okay ik this section was really short, again, she posts similar things to my cousin, and i didnt wanna repeat, so yeah, if you want more reason, here's what the cousin herself says: "[Heartz] is really nice, she's a good artist, and she's creative"; time i finished this section was 1/15/2024 lol)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

third channel:

Boli and gang (or as their original user is + the profile picture says, Boli the bear) is the channel belonging to 2 kids I babysit! They're pretty new to making content, but they have a promising start already! Currently, their content consists of...

Animations

One of them has really been getting into animation, posting things like ball loops and such on their account. They're very interesting to watch personally!

2. Cool places

I'm not sure if this is going to be a common theme, but there is around 3-4 videos of places like this one. I have to admit, this has to be the prettiest of them all.

3. Art (+FNAF/Five Nights at Freddy's Content)

This is another one grouped together, but because this is the first drawing related one I've seen. They're very big FNAF fans, of course leading to things like this. Is it the best? No, but they tried very hard of course, and maybe you could leave some tips for them to improve with!

(they also post memes and funny videos, but I'd rather not do repetition; FINISHED THIS ALSO ON THE 15TH LETS GOOOOOOO)

Link to their channel can be found here:

Oh, one final reason, their profile picture is super cool! Can you guess who made it? This actually provides me with the perfect transition into...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

fourth/final channel:

ITS ME!!! FINALLY I CAN STOP DOING PROPER ASS TYPING

yeah, i have a youtube now, and there's like nothing on it minus a couple videos. all of them are made back in like 2021-2022? cant really remember, but i posted them for younger me's sake. i have like a couple more to get through, but afterwards im probs gonna do a bigger variety of content! art videos, jrwi edits, animations, rambles, essays, you name it! (might even stream again on twitch if that seems what the people like lol)

you may want actual reasons to subscribe, but i currently dont have any. i can only make promises of better future content, but right now i can admit theyre shit. i dont post often, its only oc related rn, all very vague, nothing that interests most people on my blog (cause i know a lot of you are here for jrwi content, huh?). this channel, the choice to subscribe is fully up to you, im not gonna sell myself to it, im simply just saying its real.

Link to the channel is found here:

if you at all took the time to read through my part, i appreciate it, but please do actually check out the other 3. after all, you can always find me here, but you cant find the others anywhere else!

(FINISHED THE REST OF THE POST ON 1/15/24 LETS GOOOOOOOOO)

Come Closer

Pairing: Military! Yelena Belova x Fem! Nurse! Reader

Summary: After returning from deployment, Yelena’s closest friend, Kate convinces her to join her on vacation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she finally talks to somebody she’s seen a few times before.

Angst | Fluff | Mentions of War | Mentions of Drinking | PTSD | 1.6K |  

AC: Yes, I am biased towards Rio, let me have this one!! & This is lightly inspired by the song, Come Close by Omah Lay. Enjoy x

The loud sound of samba music filled the city of Rio de Janeiro as the public came together as one to celebrate the popular and color event of carnival. Kate Bishop, Yelena's best friend dragged the blonde on vacation in hopes it would cheer up the soldier after a rough few months away from deployment. 

"Are you sure you're not coming?" Kate asked with an almost disappointed pout. Her friend looked up from her phone and nodded, "yeah, I don't think the large crowd will be good for me. I'm just going to take a walk along the beach and grab a drink at a bar, but you have fun" Yelena smiled, seeing the disappointment in Kate's eyes. 

"Carnival is one of the biggest events here, you can't miss it!" Kate tried to convince the young blonde, "there will be plenty of things to keep you distracted! Music, dancing, the parade, drinks!" she added. Yelena chuckled kindly at the gesture of her friend's enthusiasm about the popular carnival, "I'm sure, besides, I just got rid of a headache so I think some fresh, ocean air will do me some good" Yelena assured the brunette, "but I will walk with you to the taxi" Yelena added as she stood from the hotel room sofa. 

"I'll wait for you" Kate smiled in reply. 

----

Yelena walked Kate to her taxi before making her way to the famous, Copacabana beach. The night was lit up by streetlights along with passing cars, restaurants and cafes that were open till late for the week. The sound of the waves crashing against the shoreline brought a calmness to Yelena as she wandered along the path, admiring the sights of Rio as she passed by many carnival goers. 

Colorful lights could be seen from a distance as the famous carnival made its presence known with the loud music washing through the city. A smile tugged at Yelena's lips when she realized how free the people of Rio were during this time, how happy and excited everybody was made her appreciate her time here just a little more. After a while, Yelena stopped at and made herself comfortable at one of the beach bars. 

"What can I get you?" you asked the blonde with a soft, welcoming smile. Yelena's eyes slightly shot open at the sight of you, she smiled lightly and replied, "two shots of vodka, please". 

"You know, you're the only person I've seen tonight that isn't dressed up for carnival" you spoke as you poured two shot glasses of vodka. Yelena chuckled, "Yeah, I don't think it's really my scene right now" she replied with a pause, "I just got back from deployment" she added after a few short moments of silence before downing her first shot. 

"Well, in that case, here, it's on the house" you smiled softly and poured her a third shot and slid it over to her. The blonde looked familiar to you but you couldn't quite put your finger on it, her beautiful green eyes were filled with worry and sadness, a look you'd seen one too many times before. Yelena downed her second shot before letting out a light sigh when some of the street goers let off illegal fireworks. 

Gently, you placed a hand over the hand Yelena had resting on the bar, "it's okay" you spoke softly as your thumb stroked over her soft skin. She looked up at you and nodded ever so lightly as she tried to drain out the few moments of loud banging. Once the fireworks were over, you looked up at the time. You only had 5 minutes left of your shirt before somebody would come and take over your spot. 

"Do you want to go somewhere a bit quieter?" you asked the young soldier. 

Yelena downed the third shot and shook her head, "it's okay, I'll be okay but thank you. You're working and I don't want to bother you" she replied. 

"I wouldn't offer if I thought you would bother me" you smiled softly. There was a moment of silence between the two of you before you spoke once more, "I'm a nurse for the military". 

The information made Yelena tilt her head slightly, "that's where I have seen you" she spoke, "you saved one of my buddies life" she added. Suddenly the memory of when you first laid eyes on her came back to you. "Yelena, right?" you smiled softly, she nodded, "I never caught your name that day" she replied. 

"Yelena, you were distressed which is very understandable! How is Oksana?" 

"She's great, she got married and has adopted a baby girl. She lives out on a farm now" 

A smile formed on your lips at the news of one of the many soldiers you'd saved, "I'm really glad to hear that. Most times, we just patch you all up and maybe we'll see you again and other times we never hear about you again, so, it's really nice to know she's doing well" you explained. 

Right on time, your co-worker entered the small street bar and gave you a pat on the back to give the good to go. You took off your work apron and placed it on the door behind the door before you turned to look at Yelena again. Her eyes widened as she took in your figure, under your apron you wore a very colorful outfit for the special occasion. A long skirt that had 4 main colors along with a very tropical print. Orange, yellow, pink and green that was covered with a floral design. Your top was orange and matched the skirts floral design. 

"So, what's your plans for the evening?" you asked Yelena, snapping her out of her thoughts. 

"I was just going to have a couple more drinks and head back to my hotel room and wait for my friend to come back" she replied with honesty. You shook your head, "come on, you're in Rio! The party city, come on, you're with me tonight" you smiled before walking out from behind the bar. Yelena saw she didn't have much choice and stood up from her stool, although she was very interested in where you'd be taking her.

----

You took Yelena to a place that had an amazing view of the city, away from the crowds and far enough for the loud music and sounds of carnival to be faded to a distance but the gentle samba music of street festivals traveled up the hill to remind you both that you weren't alone. "So, if you're a nurse, why do you bar tend?" Yelena asked, breaking the shortly lived silence between the two of you. 

"It's something different, I've travelled to many different places to just be a bartender, I love meeting all types of people and hearing their stories. You'd be surprised what you get told as a bartender" you chuckled, "After the things we see, it's hard to find something that takes your mind off it" you added. 

"You find that bartending takes your mind off it all?" Yelena questioned. 

"Yeah, I mean, with times like this, carnival, everybody is happy and excited. It's refreshing to come home from where we go to a place like this. You're not thinking about what you saw or heard, you're in the moment here. I'm a bartender here, at home, I am nurse of war." You explained. Another moment of silence was shared, it wasn't awkward but more comforting. 

"You're right, it is nice here. Maybe I have been a little closed off to the idea of letting myself have fun" Yelena spoke, her eyes dropping to her feet. "Start now" you stood from the bench with your hand reaching for Yelena to take. She looked up at you, her eyes traveling from your feet to your eyes, taking in the beauty that stood before her but with regret, she shook her head. 

"Why not?" you asked. 

"I don't want to hurt you" Yelena admitted, "everything beautiful I see somehow turns to darkness" she adds. You kneeled down in front of her, looking into her eyes, "you're living inside of your head" you replied, "try living in the moment. Look around you, there's no danger, you can't hurt me" you add. 

Yelena took a moment to let your words process as she looked at her surroundings, she'd been so closed off that she began to believe what she saw when away was something that would follow her even when she was in the comfort of her own home. You could see she was thinking, thinking too much at that. Gently, you brushed a lock of her blonde hair behind her ear, "trust me, it's okay" you spoke softly, breaking her train of thought before you carefully took her hands into yours and pulled her up from the bench. 

She smiled so softly that if you blinked, you would've missed it. You guided her hands to your hips when you heard the street festival music getting slightly louder. Yelena looked into your eyes, "just go with it" you whispered before you led her into dance. Moving your body along with hers, you soon felt her relax and move more freely with you and eventually, she smiled. Her eyes sparkled with the streetlights as she pulled you closer to her, she felt confidence and for the first time tonight, you saw she had no worries in the world. 

The two of you simply just danced as the street parade passed by and faded into a distant sound when Yelena stopped her movements and lost herself in your eyes. "Thank you" she spoke, breaking the silence between you both. 

"You're welcome" you smiled softly.

here's part two of jake and babygirl, i'm actually really really in love with them and it may or may not be because i constantly have baby fever. anyway, im thinking about making this a fun lil series that you guys can send in any prompts or requests for that come to mind ! silly, angsty, fluffy whatever doesn't matter, just figured that since this started off as a request that i could continue on its life that way as well..

i want to be completely honest with you guys, for the past two months now i have been in eating disorder treatment 3 hours a day 6 days a week..as of this week, ive been stepped down to 3 hours a day 4 days a week and will be completely stepping down from treatment by the end of the month..this has taken up alot of time, and alot of attention and typically by the time my day is over i am completely spent and mentally drained and haven't been putting much effort into you guys, but as part of my treatment i am going to start posting at least twice a week (if not every day) as a way of self care, because fic writing is genuinely a form of self care for me.

thank you for being patient with me, and please feel free to send in asks!

warnings: pregnancy! jake being completely soft for his babygirl but also being completely angered by her situation..morning sickness mentions, food aversion mentions, just floofy fluffness okay? use of y/n once, but other than that is just babygirl as usual. not super long but i love it. part one

'STAY WITH ME, PLEASE..' jake 'hangman' seresin

A week into your vacation Jake had convinced you to go to an obstetrician after learning that you hadn't seen one yet, concerned for your health and the health of the little thing in your womb, whom he was already attached to, even if it wasn't his. It was there that you learned that you were almost eleven weeks along, Jake sat in the room with you, holding your hand as the ultrasound tech dims the lights. He squeezes it as she squirts more warm jelly on your tummy than you thought necessary and digs the wand in at an uncomfortable angle, moving it and the gel around your skin. You were just barely showing signs of a baby bump, and you were shocked to find out just how big the baby actually was by this point.

"How is it already that big?" Jake asks exactly what you were thinking, making the tech chuckle. He was in complete awe, there was really a tiny little being inside of you, you were growing a life form and there was nothing more beautiful than that to him in that moment.

"They grow so much faster than you realize," The woman says, a pleasant smile on her face as she stares at the screen, typing a few things in with her free hand, Jake noted from his position that they were measurements. "Would you like to know the sex?"

"Yes!" He blurts out before you could even process the question, you stare at him eyebrows furrowed, confused as to why he was so eager and amazed by something that he hadn't helped create. You thought it was wonderful though that your best friend was wanting to be so involved and caring despite your situation.

"Well, dad, you're having a little girl.." She says, catching you off guard by the mention of Jake being the dad and by the fact that you were having a daughter. Jake squeezed your hand, and even in the darkness of the room you could have sworn that he was a little teary eyed.

"Isn't that amazing, babygirl?" He asks, looking over at you. Your eyes are glued to the screen, not bothering to correct the woman on Jake not being the father, it was a difficult situation to explain and you weren't quite sure you were up for it today. Tears form in your eyes as you think about the little girl growing in your womb, who would never know her daddy. You had to admit that that was probably a good thing, he didn't deserve either of you if his initial reaction was to just leave and never come back.

You knew Jake felt the same way too, you didn't even have to ask.

"This all feels like such a fever dream.." You say softly, your head leaned against the window of his truck as he drives through the streets, away from the obstetricians office. You had a print out photo of your baby in your hand, staring down at it as you rubbed your stomach absentmindedly, your mind running in circles.

"Why's that?" Jake asks, glancing over at you for a mere second, not wanting to take his eyes off of the road for too long.

You look at him, wondering if he realizes just how fucked up the situation is. "Jake, I am pregnant..my boyfriend, the father of my baby left me because he swore i was a whore and that you were actually the father, and that was before i even knew for sure that i was pregnant.." You say, word vomit spewing from your mouth before your brain could even process what was happening. "I've just found out that i'm having a little girl who's not going to have her daddy in her life, and honestly good riddance but..but..oh my god Jake what am I going to do? This wasn't part of the plan..my daddy is going to be so disappointed in me..oh my god my mama would be so fucking upset..."

You hadn't even realized that you were crying, or that you were starting to panic, the weight of the situation fully sinking in on you. "Oh my god Jake, she's never gonna meet my mama..oh my god.." Jake doesn't know what to do, but he knows he can't let you keep crying like this. He pull's over into a parking lot, right at the beach and near a bunch of shops, pulling his truck to a stop in the first empty spot he saw. There are tears streaming down your face at this point as the thoughts of your father and your dead mother run around in your head, he had never seen you like this before but he knew that it was probably just the hormones.

"Hey," He says, his voice soft and sweet, his warm body encompassing yours as he slides across the front seat towards you, having lifted the center console up. He unclips your seatbelt and pulls you towards him, holding your head against his chest, your ear pressed right where his heart is. He had done this with you a thousand times before, the sound of his heartbeat had always brought you back to earth when you would have moments like this. "you're okay, i got you babygirl, i always got you.." He whispers, his lips moving in your hair as he presses a soft, comforting kiss to the crown of your head. Somewhere, in the back of your mind, you wondered if he knew that these were the things that made you feel like he loved you in more ways than he let on, the things that gave you the smallest glimmer of hope.

You close your eyes, listening to his heartbeat and the slight rumble in his chest as he whispered things to you, slowly but surely calming you down. After a while you let out a shaky breath, your eyes opening to see the people milling about the small shopping center. "Where are we?" You ask, voice thick from the crying. Your head hurt and your eyes were heavy, you wanted to go back to his apartment and sleep, preferably in his arms, like you used to when you guys were younger.

"We're not too far from home," He says. Home..You liked the way that sounded coming from his mouth, it was always nice to hear it. "Do you want to get out and walk around? Go sit on the beach." You shake your head, sniffling softly. He kisses the top of your head once more, rubs your shoulder with his large hand. "Okay babygirl, let's go home..you look like you need some rest." He wasn't wrong, between the morning sickness that had been plaguing you in recent days, and the stress of everything, you hadn't been getting enough rest.

You manage to stay awake for the rest of the ride back, letting the gentle breeze through the open window soothe you. Jake doesn't say a word, but you see a look on his face, his eyebrows furrowed like he was thinking really hard about something. "Jake?" You ask, turning to face him, wondering what was on his mind.

"Stay." He says, looking over at you as he pulls up to his apartment building, the truck rolling to a stop. "..I..You should be here with me, you should've been with me from the beginning, but I was too chickenshit to man up and ask." You're shocked, and start to open your mouth, wanting to stop him. "Let me finish, damn it!"

"I haven't gone a day without talkng to you or thinking about you since the day I met you, and it's not just because you were my best friend, because you always will be that, no matter what, it's because i've been in fucking love with you since day one. And maybe i'm dumb because it's taken me so long to realize it, because everyone i've ever dated knew it but dammit i know it now, and have for a long time.." He rambles, you're unsure of what to make of this, your brain still processing that you were hearing him correctly. "I..know that this isn't the ideal situation, and i know that that little girl isn't my blood, but dammit i don't care because i already think of her as my kid, and i have since i found out..I can't let you walk away, not without knowing how i feel..I want to be with you through this, and through everything else in life so i can take care of you the way that you deserve, because Y/N, nobody else in this world is ever going to love you like i do.." You feel yours well with tears and subconsciously you pinch yourself, hoping to god that you weren't dreaming. "So stay with me, please.."

"Oh, Jake.." You whisper, tears spilling once more from your eyes. You can't make any other words come out of your mouth so you just nod your head and you watch his body sag with relief before you unbuckle your seatbelt and rush forward into his already waiting arms. He squeezes you tight and presses a long kiss to the top of your head as you hiccup.

"Hey, no more tears, babygirl, okay?" He whispers, leaning your head back as he brushes the tears away with his thumb, you lean into the embrace, a smile gracing your lips as your arms go around the back of his neck.

"They're happy tears, i promise.." You say, leaning forward to press your lips against his. You had though about this moment so many times in your life, and none of your wildest dreams had every prepared your for the real thing. Jake kissed you like a man starved, his hand on the back of your head, fingers scrunching up in your hair as he presses you as hard against him as he can. You groan at the possessiveness of it, pulling back after a moment to catch your breath. You can't help but let out a chuckle, leaning your forehead against his. "You picked one hell of a time to finally fucking say it, Seresin."

"Hey! You could've said it first too you know!" He says and you can't help but laugh, relishing in the way he smiles at you.

Pink Pony Club Episode-911

Thanks to @speaknowbuckley I gained the motivation to finish this plot idea for what I picture for a queer central episode (Gay club, because its LA and I am desperate for ABC to allow us to see that side of the city!)  for 9-1-1!  (Also im back from vacation yay!)

Title: The Pink Pony Club (Please know that its been a Chappell Summer for me truly) 

Main Plot/Episode Dynamic:  

I see this following a bit after Bucks initial coming out as Bi (I initially had this before he actually was confirmed bi so I saw him coming out alone, but I can still see this with the buck/tommy coming out as well!). Takes place during pride month and Hen is watching as Buck is excited for his first pride month as not and ally™. I see her wanting to take Buck out with her and Karen to the bars to celebrate, and of course Chim and Eddie may have overheard and become jealous to join (letting them all come along for support and just fun). Overall its an episode that explore a lot. Buck feeling scared to feel accepted into the queer community finally, that maybe he isn't queer enough (possibly exploring Bi hatred within the community) (for me bi hatred and eraser is something that I would love to see touched upon especially now with how people have been reacting to bi characters becoming a norm) and scared to head out to the bars. But having a Buck and Hen brother sister scene where she convinces him that he should celebrate and love himself. Eventually planning outfits together. I see buck finally letting go as he walks into the first bar. People dancing around without a care, queens, men, women. Standing on the floor and letting the music mute his racing mind, finally letting himself sway to the music with a content happiness. Hen and Karen smiling proudly as they join in.  

Oh but don't think this whole story is just on Buck and Hen. I love a queer Eddie arch and if I was a writer for ABC this would be the first fucking stone cast for this arch. Eddie walking into that bar initially without any worry. He was an ally and doing this for his best friends, no worries there. Why would he be? He’s straight... right? But why as he's watching buck dance with men does he have this pain in his chest. Or seeing other men dance together with such joy and ease. Why as he sips and chats with a drag queen at the bar does he feel the most like he’s at ease and belongs somewhere than ever before? Why does the episode end with Eddie sneaking off back to the very same bar the next night without the rest of the 118 as a soft melody of pink pony club plays, a smile etching across his face as the lights over cast his face (I NNEEEDDD). 

Oh and Chim, having a fucking blast as per usual with Maddie.  

Songs Used/When they would be used: 

9-1-1's sound track to me at least has always been phenomenal for storytelling and setting the mood. So for an actual pride episode like this I would want some good bangers (I made a playlist that I may post later lol) 

1. If I Had You- Adam Lambert 

2. Pink Pony Club – Chappell Roan  

3. Rush- Troye Sivan (See this as more of a background song) 

4. I Know a Place- MUNA 

5. Its Raining Men- The Weather Girls 

There is more but these are *my* essentials 

Possible Emergencies: 

I would love for the conversation of Buck wanting/starting to look into queer culture and history after coming out to be shown on a call at a drag show/club. The same club that the 1(gay)teen shows up to later in the episode. Something about the dimensions of how certain heels are made for drag performers or how thick costumes (tights, tucks, etc.) can be and how that queen or queens ended up in that situation.  

A pride parade incident? (I wrote a possible scenario where there is one with Take me to Church over it and gods let me be a writer, PS I don't think I'm a good writer at all lol) 

Again thank you for coming to my Ted Talk I will take my exit..

[mistresssheo]

The one from @cawyden-gaming inspired me to write this. It's not perfect and my English isn't good (probably terrible, but I think few people understand it in German, I don't know) 🙈

have fun!

It takes place after the event, when the RT returns after 20 days, after the thing with Cassia.

Heinrix storms into Livia's room. Cassia and Livia were finally back. Twenty days in which no one knew whether they would return and what had happened. He goes into the bedroom and sees Livia lying on her back in bed. "I want to know what happened!" demands Heinrix, sounding angry. "Cassia and I took a twenty-days vacation, what else," Livia jokes tiredly.

"Now is not the time for jokes, Livia!" Livia straightened up. "What do you want to hear, huh? I was trying to help Cassia, went in there and that picture swallowed me up," she replied, annoyed. "Why didn't you tell anyone that you wanted to help her? Why didn't you tell me?" asks Heinrix, walking over to the bed. Livia lets herself fall backwards. "Do you always tell me everything you do?" Heinrix is silent and stares at her. "No, and you know I can't do that either..." Livia interrupts him. "Yes, yes, because you're with the Inquisition... I wanted to help a friend and I did. I couldn't have known that something like this would happen, no one could have known. I'm sorry! But I would have helped anyone in my inner circle, including Idira or Yrliet," she says. She straightens up again. Heinrix is still staring at her. "Or are you not angry with me at all? Can that be? You're angry with yourself, aren't you?" Heinrix looks away. Silence falls. "I ... I thought I'd never see you again. Never have the chance to hold you in my arms or just be near you again," he says quietly and sits down on the bed. This surprises Livia more than she had expected. She sits down next to him and hugs him. "Don't think about it. I'm back." She hugs him tightly. After a moment, Livia laughs sheepishly. "Could it be that you've neglected yourself a little in the meantime?" she asks him carefully, taking a good look at him. He has dark circles under his eyes, stubble and looks exhausted. "I ..." before he could answer properly, Livia stood in front of him and held out her hand. "Come on, let's go for a swim, that's what I have this pool for, isn't it? You can relax there after all the grief I've caused you." Heinrix smiled a little. "Yes, that would be nice." He took her hand and stood up. Livia giggled mischievously. "And if you want, we can also make out and maybe do other naughty things." Before they left, he kissed Livia. "Please don't ever do that again." Livia returned his embrace. "I can't promise you that and you can't promise me that either. But what I do promise you is that I will never touch a picture of Cassia again, I promise! Once is enough, it was really scary there." They stood there like that for a while. He didn't want to let her go. Livia giggled. "Come on, let's go, we can continue over there."

Fluff Headcanons - Spooky gaming with the genshin characters!

A/N: The fluff version of the Halloween special, and a bit of a new format. I hope you enjoy!

C/W: Modern AU, swearing, game-typical violence.

Alhaitham

This year, Alhaitham wanted something less conventional. Something that would really engage his mind with interesting commentary about society and the world at large, but still retain some of that spooky vibe. 

Cruelty Squad easily caught his attention with its assaulting graphics and interesting premise. It clearly begged for attention, and he was willing to humor it. 

It was precisely what he was looking for, and what an answer it was. Alhaitham had no trouble adjusting to a more corporate mindset.

Alhaitham: The super AI emerges from an extremely pornographic ultra hyper suck and fuck…

Kaveh: Um… What? What are you talking about?

Alhaitham: You don't understand, Kaveh. Everything that surrounds us? It's Gorbino's Quest. The Gorbino's Quest... of life.

Ganyu

The poor little cinnamon roll isn't that much of a horror fan. Violence and death generally unsettles her, but Ganyu still wants to feel some of that holiday spirit. 

After a lengthy deliberation, Ganyu chose Little Nightmares. The graphics are quite pleasing to the eye, it is horror, but not so horrible and violent. At least that's what she heard.

Ganyu: Oh, look! It's a Nome, right? And it's offering me food… How nice of it! Um… Oh n-no! Why would you d-do that?!

Amber

The great outdoors with a horror theme? Count her in!

Amber made sure to avoid spoilers to have the full, unprecedented The Forest experience. The landscape is so serene and peaceful… The freedom of movement, the sounds of nature and the survival elements are so fun and relaxing!

True, there are some hostile people on the island, but they seem harmless enough.

Until the night falls…

Amber: Wait… What's that? That doesn't look human… Did it just birth out… Ew… Yikes! It's coming at me! 

Suffice to say, Amber stuck around until more or less the moment when you have to chop up bodies and make effigies out of the parts.

Beidou

Alcohol, hard rock and murdering demons with big guns is how Beidou plays on Halloween, so she'll gladly hop on Doom Eternal.

There's nothing better than impaling a snake demon's head with its own broken arm, right as the beat drops. 

Beidou: Life has enough undefeatable horrors. Let's just have some fun tonight!

Ningguang

The old ones are the good ones! Ningguang doesn't play a lot of video games, but she did like a few titles back in her younger days. 

On this special occasion, Ningguang got a box of her old possessions to dig through, and found the original Dungeon Keeper on CD. 

Everything is just as she remembered it was. 

Ningguang: Oh, these imps… They are the perfect workers, aren't they? They don't eat, sleep, need vacation, have a social life, and they work harder when you slap them. Ah, if only I had them as my subordinates…

Keqing: *narrows eyes*

Kokomi

Another fan of the retro side of games, Kokomi enjoys a good tactical challenge - developing the ability to conjure small scale plans is as important as improving the grand ones.

Her pick is Myth II: Soulblighter. It’s a brutal, unforgiving RTS with a distinctively dark atmosphere - just perfect for the season at hand.

Even when Halloween comes to a close, Kokomi will find it hard to drop the game. The insanity that is Legendary is quite addictive indeed…

Kokomi: You here… You here… And now the crescendo!

Game: “Move here move there…”

Game: “Catch!”

Game: *explosion*

Game: “Casualty.”

Kokomi: Oh. Change of plans, I guess…

Yae Miko

Upon hearing of the wonderful possibilities for tormenting the other party, Miko didn't hesitate to bring out the Mora for Dead By Daylight and all of its DLC. 

Though it was quite fun at first, the ugly nature of the game soon surfaced. As none of her friends were brave enough to delve into this swamp, she was forced to join up with random people, who frequently threw the games. 

Such a combination was enough to make even such an ancient and wise kitsune lose her absolute cool.

Ei: Why are you crouching behind that tree, Miko?

Miko: The killer has caught one of my teammates, and I will release them by ambushing them with a flashlight! 

Miko: Come on… Now! You didn't expect that, did y- What?? Lightborn?! Again?! Who even plays it nowadays?! Oh, you daft, blind motherf-

Ei: Miko!

Miko: Oh… Hm. Sorry. I got a little carried away. But that's sooo unfair, isn't it? Why would they add a perk that cancels a whole mechanic? I can't believeitthegameissokillersided…

Xiangling

Xiangling absolutely didn't look forward to Halloween, especially with Hu Tao around. She just can't take horror, at all, of any kind, ever. Especially jumpscares.

She still couldn't believe that she agreed to play a horror game, let alone one suggested by the director. The one and only Five Nights At Freddy's at that.

Much to Hu Tao's amusement, she didn't even make it past Night 1. Xiangling was thoroughly spooked, and after being jumpscared once she completely refused to keep playing. 

Seeing Xiangling so terrified made Guoba very upset, and Hu Tao quickly apologized to avoid being roasted by the angry god. 

Hu Tao: So he killed the kids, but then! Their souls escaped their robot prisons and made an old spring lock suit crush him to death! WoOoo~

Xiangling: Ah! Hu Tao! No more! 

Guoba: Nane na! Grr…

Hu Tao: Oh, don't fret little Guoba! I'm just joking!

Zhongli

Morax always had trouble catching up with the latest cultural and technological trends of the humans. Sure, he can use a computer more than well enough, but he finds third and first person video games confusing. The gameplay is most often too fast and rapidly changing for him to be up to speed with it, let alone enjoy it. 

Throughout all of his exponentially long life, nobody was as persistent in including him in the festivities as Hu Tao. She tried to convince Zhongli to play something horror-related, but he was assertive. So, the director decided to find a game that would suit his liking - an indie title. 

Her pick fell on Water Womb World - it's simple mechanically, is quite disturbing and has an interesting concept. 

Much to her surprise, Zhongli thoroughly enjoyed his fifteen minutes with the game, even if he didn't find it very scary.

Zhongli: Ah, I agree with the message of this title. The blind belief in deities can lead to fanaticism, which breeds regress rather than progress. I do think that a more healthy and critical approach to Rex Lapis' rule would be beneficial to our current day society. Especially that the age of gods draws to an end…

Hu Tao: Aiya! Do you have to turn everything into a lecture, Zhongli? You're not my grandpa, are you?

Hu Tao

An avid enjoyer of the spookfest, Hu Tao decided to pick something hitting closer to home this year - Mortuary Assistant.

The gameplay loop feels great! Just like in her line of work, just without the smell. She's having the time of her life preparing the corpse for burial. And hunting the demon. That's also quite cool!

Hu Tao: *hums while wheeling the corpse into the crematory* 

Game: "Are you sure?"

Hu Tao: Yup! I know your tricks more than well. Aiyaya, you could try something more interesting next round! Furnace time~

Game: *sounds of fire and demonic screaming*

Hu Tao: Toodle-oo~

Bennet, Noelle, Fischl, Razor

A few weeks before Halloween, Bennett mentioned a game night, since he couldn't be there in person. Noelle, diligent as ever, picked this up as a cue to start looking for something. 

Luckily for her, Phasmophobia was on a large and affordable discount, so after proposing the idea and organizing a money pool, they all got to proving the existence of ghosts.

Lisa lent Razor her personal computer for the night, on condition that she could take a little peek every now and then at their session without interrupting - and what an amusement it was, as none of them are especially acquainted with horror.

Noelle: "The ghost responds only to people who are alone." Somebody has to go in to talk to it… 

Razor: Razor won't go! Ghost scary!

Bennett: I would go, but with my luck, the ghost will eat me right away…

Fischl: Hmph! Although yes, I, Fischl, The Prinzessin Der Verurteilung and the founder of The Immernatchreich possess the courage to face demons and spawns of darkness alike, I…

Everyone: So you'll go then?

Amy: Um… N-no! You m-misunderstood!

Furina

The Great-And-Grand Archon of Fontaine played and saw every horror game and movie, and never once got scared. Or that's what she claims, at least.

That's why Focalors decided to prove her excellence with a true, dark challenge she could easily overcome, thus proving her gaming capabilities for all to see!

In hindsight, Darkest Dungeon wasn't the best of choices she could have made… It did amuse Monsieur Neuvilette, however. 

Neuvillette: I think you should retreat. Your heroes are close to dying. 

Furina: I appreciate your advice, my dear Iudex, but your worries are misplaced! My Crusader will deal a critical hit, thus ending the pig-man's miserable opposition, and granting us treasure galore! Watch and marvel at my skill!

Game: "A singular strike!"

Furina: Ahaha, see? I told you it would be fine~ Wait… It's not dead yet…?

Game: "Mortality - clarified in a single strike!"

Furina: Um…

Game: "There can be no hope in this hell, no hope at all…"

Game: "And now the true test - hold fast, or expire."

Game: "Those who cover injury find it in no short supply."

Game: "As life ebbs, terrible vistas of emptiness reveal themselves."

Furina: Ret- T-tactical withdrawal! 

Game: "Cornered, trapped, forced to fight on!"

Game: "This is no place for the weak, or the foolhardy."

Game: "More blood soaks the soil, feeding the evil therein."

Game: "Perched at the very precipice of oblivion."

Game: "More dust, more ashes, more disappointment."

Game: "Another life wasted in the pursuit of glory and gold."

Game: "Wounds to be tended. Lessons to be learned."

Neuvillette: Lady Furina, if only you had-

Furina: Silence.

Shenhe

Shenhe never gets scared. The most terrible of monsters or existential terrors are no match for her training and resolve, no matter how unexpected they might be. She might not get scared, but she can get startled, right?

Who else would pose that question but Hu Tao, the mistress of horrors herself? It was always her objective to get some sort of reaction out of the adepti disciple, no matter how insignificant and small it might be. Many things were attempted - scary movies, troubling situations, body horror, cosmic horror, existential horror… But none of them ever worked. Shenhe remained stalwart.

Out of desperation, Hu Tao was forced to reach for the ultimate weapon. The bane of those unprepared. The myth. The legend. The game.

The Scary Maze Game. 

After plugging in an old spare monitor, she invited Shenhe to “test her precision”, and stepped a few safe meters back. 

The monitor ended up skewered with her polearm, but Shenhe did yelp - much to her delight. 

Not all was fun and games though, as Hu Tao got the mother of all lectures from Cloud Retainer. Something about Shenhe’s red ropes breaking, but the director didn’t pay much attention, and just nodded along.

Hu Tao: Heya, Shenhe… You don’t mind the little scare I gave you back on Halloween night, do you…?

Shenhe: Oh? Well, as much as I was upset during the moment, I must admit it was quite… cathartic. I never experienced anything like that. I do not hold any grudge towards you. Actually… Thank you for that, director Hu Tao.

Hu Tao: Phew! And I was here thinking I’ll share the fate of that display!

🎃Happy Halloween!🎃

Where you goin, Star?

Summary: Reader meets Bucky when the truck hauling her show horses breaks down as she is trying to leave for an event and he works for the mechanic. Passionate, secret love affair ensues. After a confrontation with her father, Bucky decides she deserves better than a poor biker like him and leaves town with his friends Steve and Sam.

Three years later, reader is trapped in an abusive relationship and about to give up hope of things ever improving, when Bucky comes back.

Bucky Barnes x Reader

Chapter 3

Warnings: swearing, mild violence, forced miscarriage, angst, animal death

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The morning of the bbq, Star had brunch with her parents which ended in another argument with her father.

"Dad, I'm not marrying John Walker. No way in Hell. He's abusive and rude. Besides he already has a girlfriend. Why can't he marry her?"

Alexander Pierce sighed heavily. He appreciated his daughter's strength but not when she opposed him. "John's now ex girlfriend, isn't the right kind of woman for his career. He is retiring from the Army and running for Congress. You are the right kind of woman. You have good breeding, an excellent education, a good reputation....not to mention your physical beauty. You would make a handsome couple."

Star looked confused "I've met Olivia Hoskins. She went to high school with John, they've been together for years. She is lovely and well educated too. I don't see what the problem is." she paused and her eyes grew wide "Oh my God dad. It's not because shes black? Please tell me that's not it."

He looked at her impatiently and spoke to her like she was a small child. "Sweetheart, don't be stupid it's not because of her skin color."

I'm sure she's a lovely young woman but she comes from nothing. Her education was paid for with scholarships but all the education in the world can't prepare you for this high powered life the way being raised in it can. You've always had the best and I've always expected the best from you. Wife of the future president is the best life possible. You will influence everything he does, in a gentle, loving way, while you stand behind him.

She could never be what you will be."

"That's fucking disgusting. You think I would be a better wife when I don't agree with conservatives these days? When I can't stand John? I'm not that good of an actress."

He chuckled "I'm sure we can find some incentive for you to behave appropriately."

Star rolled her eyes "Not bloody likely. I have to go. I'm meeting some friends" she stood up, gave her mother a hug and left.

Her mother tried to change her husbands mind "Honey, I don't think she would be happy with John. Maybe-"

She almost fell out of her chair when he slapped her "Now sweetheart, look what you made me do." He grabbed her chin tightly and forced her to look at him "Don't question me again or I'll send you away on another 'vacation'. Understand?"

She nodded, shaking and trying to hold the tears back until he left the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Star got home, Bucky was waiting for her. He could tell she was agitated "What's wrong Star?"

She shook her head "Just my asshole father. I don't want to talk about it. Let's go have some fun" she kissed him hard on the mouth.

When she pulled back he was panting "I know some fun we could have here. No one will care if we're late." He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her flush against him, kissing her neck.

Star pushed him away "We can do that when we get home. I don't want to show up late, looking and smelling like sex. What would your friends think?"

Bucky smirked "The friends who complain about the smells in the clubhouse from our sex? They'd probably thank me for keeping it away from them."

Star shook her head "You're insatiable Jamie"

"Only for you Star."

"Better not be anyone else. I'd hate to have to kill you."

Bucky kissed her "Never anyone else. No one could ever measure up to my Star. You're it for me baby."

She looked at him curiously and whispered "You mean that, Jamie?"

"Of course Star. I love you and nothing will ever change that." He said sincerely.

"Oh, Jamie. I love you too." She kissed him again. "But we still need to go. Let me change real quick." She came out of her room a few minutes later in jeans, boots and a peasant blouse with something in her hand.

"Happy Birthday, old man."

Bucky grinned "You didn't need to get me something."

"Just open it"

Inside was a photo album full of pictures of her in barely there lingerie and the last few in nothing at all. She pulled down the shoulder on her blouse to show him she was wearing the first set.

"Something to keep in mind for when we get home."

Bucky smiled lasciviously "I'm going to destroy you tonight baby. Make sure you eat enough to keep your strength up."

When they arrived at the clubhouse, he led her to the large back yard and everyone cheered. Steve was the first to approach them and gave Star a big hug. "Welcome to the asylum. I don't know how you do it but I've never seen Bucky so happy. Thank you."

A tall black man with an eye patch and a 'kiss the cook' apron came up to them "So you're this Star I keep hearing about. Barnes is pretty smitten and I can see why." He hugged her.

"I'm Col Nick Fury, I own the garage where he works and I started this little club."

Bucky explained. "Nick was our C.O. in Iraq. Steve was our captain and I was sergeant, you know Peggy already. We met Sam, Thor and Loki there" he pointed people out as he named them "Jane is Thor's girl, Darcy is Jane's friend and Loki's something. The blonde over there is Danielle or something, she is sitting on Jack Rollins. The redhead is Wanda, the guy next to her with the frosted tips is her twin brother Pietro. The antisocial asshole smoking by the fence is Zemo, claims to be a baron in some former Soviet country but the twins are from the same country and never heard of him. Thinks he's above all of us."

Bucky looked around "The kid behind the bar is Peter, he's a prospect which means he's not a full member yet and we get to boss him around" Bucky grinned and shouted "Hey Parker, how about something to drink for my girl? You remember Star, don't you?" As he pulled Star into his lap.

Peter smiled then his face flushed when he remembered meeting Bucky's girl, walking in on them having sex in the kitchen. When he spoke his voice cracked a bit "Yes sir. What does the lady like?"

Star smiled at him "Can you make an on the rocks margarita? If not I'll teach you."

Bucky smirked as he watched Peter pulling up the recipe on his phone and carefully measuring the ingredients out and pouring them into a clean glass.

Peter walked over to them and handed Star her glass and a cold beer to Bucky who winked at him "Good job, kid"

They all chatted and while Star was getting to know them, the back door opened and a tall man, but not as tall as Bucky, with curly dark hair and a face that had been through too much, walked into the yard.

Nick turned around from the grill "Rumlow! Nice of you to drop by. When did they let you out?"

Rumlow scoffed "A few hours ago. I tried to call for a ride but no one was picking up." He looked around and saw Star, a lecherous grin taking over his face.

"I see we have new meat, no wonder y'all were distracted. What's your name, sweet butt? Can I have a turn when Barnes is done?"

Bucky bristled "Hands off Brock, she's no sweet butt, this is Star and she's mine."

Brock looked disappointed "No fair claiming them before everyone gets a taste. She looks delicious, too."

Bucky growled and pulled Star closer to him. "You touch her and I'll knock those ugly scars right off your face. I ain't playing Brock. She's with me and I'll fuck anyone up who messes with her."

"Fine I won't touch her." He looked at Jack and the girl on his lap. "Looks like it's the three of us again, Dana."

The girl looked angry "It's Dot dammit. Why can't any of you get my name right?"

Brock smirked "Cuz we don't care what your name is as long as you open your legs. Or mouth."

Nick scolded "What the fuck Brock? You just got back and you're going to be an asshole? Do you need a nap or a time out?"

Brock sat down with a beer "I just need to cut loose, get rid of that trapped feeling jail always gives me."

Zemo speaks for the first time "I'm down for some trouble. Maybe meet some new girls, whatshername is getting boring." He looks Star up and down "You have any friends you'd like to invite, pretty Star?"

She shuddered and pressed up against Bucky who glared at him.

Steve shook his head "Isn't cutting loose how you ended up in jail in the first place? Maybe just hang out and have a few drinks. Stay out of trouble for a minute."

Nick looked at him pointedly "Crime isn't really our thing anymore."

Star looked at Bucky questioningly "I thought all bikers were criminals"

Bucky chuckled "A lot of them do some crime but not all. We found Brock, Jack and Pietro running a chop shop when we finally came home. Nick bought their garage and this house. We all sat down and decided we didn't want that shit over our heads. Nowadays, except for some substances that are occasionally procured for personal use, we are all clean. Brock has a hard time keeping in line."

Nick smiled at Bucky fondly "These are good boys for the most part, a little rough around the edges but good hearts. After all we went through I couldn't stand the thought of them turning into petty criminals."

Star basked in the glow of this family that had no blood ties but seemed more caring and accepting than her own parents. Her mother tried but her father didn't want to be soft on Y/N. She'd rather be Bucky's Star than Y/N Pierce with all the trappings that entailed. She would prefer a simpler life with her horses and dreamed of the day she would be able to leave it all behind.

The bbq was a great success as most of the group made fun of Bucky for another birthday with joke presents that implied Bucky had been making up his new girl.

Brock made a couple of inappropriate cracks and couldn't seem to stop staring at Star but she just ignored him even though he grossed her out.

They drank too much and shared a couple of joints so decided to crash there instead of driving back to Stars house. She brushed her teeth and washed her face before changing into one of his t-shirts.

When she walked into his room Bucky whistled "You know I love you in my clothes doll but I recall a certain outfit that I was planning on destroying."

She smirked "Maybe I'm still wearing it and thought this would make it easier for an old man like you. I don't wanna wear you out too quickly."

Their coupling was different that night. Still passionate but there was more behind it. Like meeting his family and being accepted made them both more sure of the relationship, that it was real and could last.

They only slept for an hour or two when her alarm went off and he groaned, pulling her closer "No Star, stay here with me."

She chuckled sleepily "I can't Jamie. Animals depend on me, people depend on me. You don't have to take me home, I'll call an uber."

He growled "Not a chance my girl is riding with a stranger when I could have her on the back of my bike. I'll be dressed in a sec."

They basked in the glow of what felt like a new chapter of their relationship but when they arrived at her house the glow was dulled. A black Rolls Royce was parked in her driveway, Clint standing next to it, and her stomach clutched when she saw her father waiting on the porch.

"Y/N, I'm glad you're home. I was so worried" he said with a hint of sarcasm.

She removed her helmet and dismounted the bike speaking softly "Why don't you go Jamie and I'll deal with this."

Before Bucky could answer, her father spoke up. "No, actually I'd like to speak to your friend as well. Jamie, is it?"

Bucky could sense her fear but this man didn't scare him so his turned the bike off and dismounted. He offered his hand to her father "Mr Pierce, James Barnes."

Pierce looked at Bucky like he was dirt and didn't offer his hand. "Maybe we should go inside, don't need the neighbors talking."

Y/N grabbed Bucky's hand and pulled him inside, brushing past Clint who looked at her with disappointment.

Once they were all inside she turned and looked at her father "What do you need dad? I have a busy day to get started."

Pierce looked at Bucky with a sneer "I need you to end this little rebellion and settle down with John. You know you can't beat me and I don't want anyone to get hurt."

She glared at her father "Stop throwing around threats. I won't marry John and I will walk away from you and this bullshit life in a heartbeat so drop it."

Pierce saw the determination in her eyes and decided to take a different approach. "Fine but this isn't over. We'll talk soon." And left with Clint.

Star was shocked he backed down so easily. "Be careful Jamie. He probably has more plans, my father never backs down."

Bucky smiled and kissed her "Don't worry, Star. I'm always careful and I'll never let anyone hurt you."

Star went to work, heading back to the barn as Bucky left.

When Bucky went out front he saw Clint still waiting "Mr Pierce would like to speak with you privately. Would you like to follow me?"

Bucky nodded and climbed onto his bike, following Clint to an office building and then to the top floor where he stepped out of the elevator into a busy office. A receptionist greeting him and showed him into Pierce's office.

Pierce waved him over to a chair. "Look James. I know how stubborn my daughter can be so I'm hoping you'll see some sense. I'm sure you care about her, maybe you really do love her but you have to realize it can't work between you.

Y/N might say she doesn't care about money but she's always had everything she needed and then some. She's never struggled in her life. She might believe that your love is enough but for how long? How can she be happy in that clubhouse that you share with your degenerate friends? John Walker comes from a good family and has a bright future, a real shot at becoming president one day. Do you think that a mechanics wife compares with being first lady?"

Bucky grimaced "What about her inheritance from her grandmother?"

Pierce shook his head "Not happening. My lawyers have already found a few loopholes so I can tie that money up in court for years, she'll never see a dime if she marries you."

Bucky sighed defeatedly "I love her sir and won't leave her unless she wants me to."

Pierce smiled evilly "What if I sweeten the pot for you? You walk away from my daughter, tonite, and I'll set you up in another city. But you have to leave and don't try to contact her after you leave here."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Star was done working for the day she saw she had a text message from Bucky.

'I love you, Star. No matter how things look or what people say, please remember I will always love you.'

She smiled but was confused. When she tried to message back, then call him, she was blocked. That made her scared so she tried to call Steve, then Sam. They had blocked her too. She started to panic and jumped in her truck to go to the garage. When she got there Nick was closing up, he looked at her sadly.

"Miss Pierce. How can I help you?"

Star looked at him in shock "Miss Pierce? Yesterday it was Star. What happened?"

Nick coughed "Nothing miss, just addressing you appropriately."

She shook her head "Whatever. Where's Bucky?"

Nick shook his head "He left. Took Steve and Sam with him."

Star started to panic "What do you mean left? Where is he? Where did they go?"

"I'm sorry miss. I don't know. They came in this morning, said they were leaving, grabbed their tools and left."

She started fighting to hold her tears back. "Why would he do this? He blocked me, they all did. I don't understand."

Nick just shook his head sadly.

Star took off for her father's house, crying and cussing. She slammed the door when she came in and started yelling "Dad!DAD!! You bastard! What did you do?"

Pierce came down the stairs calmly, smiling "Y/N dear, lovely of you to stop by. To what do I owe-"

She cut him off "You know goddamn well why I'm here. What did you do?"

He shook his head, chuckling "I simply helped the boy see reason. Convinced him that he would be holding you back and offered a handsome sum for him to start elsewhere." He paused, smiling widely "Next weekend you will announce your engagement to John and start planning the wedding of the season."

Star snapped "No fucking way. I will never marry him. I'm going to find Bucky, I have to tell him I'm pregnant. I took a home test this morning after he left."

Pierce scowled "Well that won't do" and waved someone in from the hall. "Brock, could you take care of that for me?"

Brock nodded and smiled cruelly "My pleasure, sir."

Star looked at Brock wide eyed "You?"

Brock nodded "yeah, Me. You know, I saw Barnes when he was leaving, asked what he wanted to do about you. He just shrugged and told me 'if she comes back looking for me, you can have her' and winked"

Brock punched her in the stomach. Hard. Over and over until she couldn't hold herself up any more, then kicked her a few times for good measure.

In between her sobs she yelped and curled into a ball "Daddy, please. I love him, I want....your grandchild. Please"

Pierce looked at Brock "call Dr Zola to check on her. Then take her home."

When Star woke the next morning her body ached and it took her a few minutes to remember what had happened before she started crying again. She stayed in bed, refusing to answer the phone or door. She didn't understand how Bucky could say all those things but just take her fathers money and leave. She had never felt such pain in her life.

Around dinnertime she heard knocking again and was ignoring it until she heard her door fly open. She got out of bed and looked to see who it was. Her father and John Walker came in with Brock trailing behind.

John reached for her but she flinched away "It's ok sweetheart, I know you're hurting but once we marry it'll be better for you."

Star stood up straight and spat at him "I won't marry you John. I don't know how many more ways to say it."

He looked at her questioningly "You sure about that honey? I'll bet I can convince you" and nodded to Brock.

Brock quickly grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder, carrying her as he followed Pierce and John to the barn. He dropped her onto the floor in the middle of the barn.

Pierce looked at her coldly "Are you sure you won't marry him?"

Star nodded "positive"

He nodded to Brock who walked up to the stall marked "Charlie", pulled put his gun and fired it twice.

Charlie grunted and fell over.

Star jumped up and ran to his stall, screaming "CHARLIE!!" and fell next to his lifeless body, sobbing.

Pierce threw his handkerchief at her "I hope you see how serious I am now. If you aren't at the party this weekend, dressed and ready to act like the fiance of the man you love then Brock will come back for Lulu.

Have a good week, dear."

A "Perfect" Vacation Ch 2

A Few Days Later...

The Wonder Stars and their friends were currently walking through Timeville, excited for Summer vacation to finally hit. The kids all had a buttload of plans for the week out of school, from Leo heading to the beach for the week, to Yuri going to travel out of town. "This summer vacation is gonna be AWESOME!!" Haoyu shouted in joy "I'm gonna Fly across the U.S in my Plane!" He said.

"That's awesome Haoyu! I'm going to visit some relatives." Emma said. "Maybe we'll see each other!" Mei said as she was looking over various dumpling recipes that she and her mom were going to try. "Yeah! But still, a WHOLE 3 months out of school, and nothing but sun and fun!!" Kaylo cheered. The kids giggled at her enthusiasm as they passed by a few shops.

As they passed by a TV Shop however, that's when a news bulletin was seen "...In other news, The Previously convicted Primrose Gaillot had escaped from Timeville Asylum. The authorities are currently searching for her whereabouts, but are having no such luck so far." A news anchor said. The kids couldn't believe what they were hearing. Madame Prim was FREE?! The same woman that had brainwashed hundreds of girls (including Yuri and Kaylo) and tried to do the same to them was out of her padded cell?

Yuri's heart began to race as she began to panic. If she was free what's to say that she wouldn't do the same thing to her again? After all, she and Kaylo were the last ones to have entered the school, and they were the ones that started the revolution against the school. What's to say that she didn't have a vendetta against her and Kaylo and would want to finish what she started?

Yuri's began to get short of breath "S-She's free! She's actually free! She's gonna get us! She's gonna brainwash us again! She's Probably gonna come in my sleep! And kidnap me! We're doomed! We're-" Yuri was stopped by Mei placing her hands on her shoulders "Yuri. It's going to be OK. Madame Prim isn't going to kidnap you in your sleep. The whole town knows that she's free, and she's probably long gone. And her precious school is pretty much wrecked and taken in by the town, so she can't stay there again." She said.

Yuri calmed down by her words, until the kids all heard a loud THUD. Looking down, they saw Kaylo was lying on the ground unconscious. "I guess she fainted over when she heard the news." Rebecca said as the kids looked over her fallen body. "Well, on the bright side, the Bruno manison isn't that far, we could just drag her back and tell her mom what happened." Trisha Jane said. The kids nodded as Mei and Haoyu grabbed her arms and dragged unconscious body back to the Bruno Mansion, all the while, Yuri was looking over her shoulder in fear of Madame Prim.

When the kids finally did make it to the Bruno Mansion, They were greeted by a very worried Thea Bruno "OH MY GOODNESS!! WHAT HAPPENED?!" She yelled out "Erm...Maybe we should get Kaylo inside first...she's heavy!" Haoyu said as he struggled under the weight of Kaylo's many hoop skirts and petticoats. "Come in. After Kaylo wakes up please tell me what's going on." She said, as the kids walked into the large and colorful manison, hoping to get the full story.

Hi! I hope you're having a good day. I'm supposed to be doing homework, but I got distracted by the booping thing and now I'm here.

If you have the time, I'd like to request a romantic matchup with a Tokyo Revengers character. I'm nonbinary - they/them pronouns - and pansexual (I apologize if this creates too big of a pool for characters). I can't say that I have a type either. Whether it be someone who's soft and kind or confident and strong headed, I'm weak for them. What can I say, I love a little bit of everyone. I'm an INFP-T who is often drowning in overdue homework only to pull a few all-nighters back to back to catch up, and cry even though I put myself in that position (my sleep schedule is in shambles). My parents are protective of me because I'm the youngest of the children by a decade and not very strong. I'm an even 5'. Paired with shitty eyesight and small frame, I'm not menacing at all. It also doesn't help that I greet everyone with a smile, even when faced with snarky comments or someone I'm greatly upset with. Of course, this doesn't mean I won't get angry later and rant for a good hour or so through tears. For some reason, no matter how calm I am on the inside, I start crying when crying to express myself in serious situations. (if anyone has an idea on how to stop this, please help)

Since I'm nonbinary, I try to lean into a more androgynous look, but my mom still tries to instill a sense of "womanhood" in me (which gives me anxiety and a lot of body dysphoria). It makes me lean away from more feminine colors in clothing, which sucks because I'm a stickler for a cute pastel shirt. That being said, I try not to let that get to me by wearing whatever I want because I also strongly believe that colors and clothes don't relate to gender. I usually wear baggier tops at least because I can't buy a binder yet.

I like listening to people talk about themselves or anything that interests them, as long as they don't mind me rambling about something also. My mom has told me I'd make a really good therapist because I always help her break down her problems and get a different view on things. My sister vents to me frequently because she feels I offer a place of no judgement and she can speak freely.

A lot of my personal joy comes from seeing others happy. In a friend group, I'm often the one trying to include everyone and make people laugh, even if I'm anxious myself. Even though I can get swept up in my emotions, I always stop and think about things in a logical view (which sometimes leads to me taking action before realizing I should've thought it through). I definitely wouldn't do well in the TKR universe in terms of fighting, but I'd probably figure out some way to be helpful because I hate feeling like I'm not contributing anything. I also like to think I have a pretty good pain tolerance, so maybe I could buy time or something.

I've been told I'm very extroverted and outgoing, but I actually have a low social battery and often find myself overwhelmed in social outings with lots of people or loud noises. I almost started crying in downtown Seattle and New York City when I was on vacation (even though I was having fun). This can lead me to shutting down at times and going relatively non-verbal. Overall, I'd describe my personality as laid-back, open-minded, and not confrontational. I try to push my way through my insecurities and short-comings, but things hardly work out the way I want them to.

I like video games and sleeping in, but I'll push my own hobbies aside for people I enjoy hanging out with. I'm not too picky about food, as long as it isn't spicy (i'm a bit of a wimp). I also really enjoy sweets - cakes, pastries, cookies, candies, chocolates. I love them all. I often end up not eating because I either get distracted or I simply don't feel like it. Technically, I'm allergic to dairy and tomatoes and I can get really nauseous or itchy, but my favorite foods often have those ingredients so I act like I'm immune.

Anyways, I apologize for the long description. I hope I followed all your rules and gave you everything you need. Please take your time, I am in no rush and I know life is always busy. I hope you have a good day!

Hello. The wait it finally over. Sorry it took so long. Things got crazy. Let's just jump right into it!

You Got...

Souya Kawata!!!!

He is really good with people and very patient. If you got overwhelmed and needed time, he would be there for you anyway he can.

He would make you the best foo. Anything you want, he will make!

He is a good listener. Will listen to you for hours

Would tell you everyday that you are amazing and that he loves for you!

He would protect you. You being safe is the most important thing to him!

He would help you get anything done that you need. He would keep you on track.

He would like that you are laid back. He already has Smiley, so someone in his life who is chill would be nice.

Video game dates. He would play a mean Mario Kart. I think he would pick Yoshi!

I hope you enjoy

A (Somewhat) Return to Normalcy (Fanfic)

New chapter from my main series 🩷

“Alexander honestly when you said you would come I thought you were joking”

Geppetto was there to see his good friend at Krat Central Station. A week had passed since everything (sort of) went back to normal.

“Of course I needed to come, you are having a hard time and I need to be there for you, not to mention I’m currently on vacation so a nice visit to Krat works” Alexander was carrying a suitcase, happy to be in Krat again, “I will see what the Grand Exhibition has prepared, can’t wait to see your hard work”

The station was full, after all the Grand Exhibition would start the day after tomorrow, and people from all around Europe had come to see it, even a few from other continents. The event will last an entire week, all with different conventions, displays, stands, future projects, and more.

While they made their way to Hotel Krat they started to make conversation.

“When I told Lady Antonia she insisted on me staying in one of her deluxe rooms, she simply wouldn’t take no for an answer, honestly I feel a little bad for such a generous offer” Alexander had a smile, “She is a wonderful woman”

“Don’t worry too much about it, Hotel Krat is full by now, I assure you she is making great money out of this entire situation” Geppetto explained how thrilled Antonia was about the Grand Exhibition.

“It is a shame I wasn’t able to stay at your home, but I understand that there is no space with you and your son” Alexander admired the streets of Krat while walking.

“Really? You wanted to stay with us rather than a fancy Hotel?” Geppetto seemed surprised.

“I wanted to stay by your side” Alexander got a little closer to Geppetto, “Who knows maybe we could have even shared a bed”

“Huh? What?” Geppetto was a little flustered.

Alexander laughed “I’m only half joking of course”

“Half joking?”

“Well, I did get dumped by my boyfriend before coming here so, I might be in a small flirty mood”

“I’m sorry” Geppetto didn’t know that, he was starting to feel bad.

“Don’t be, it turns out he left me for a younger man” Alexander tried to say that casually but one could tell he was as furious as he was heartbroken.

“Oh wow” Geppetto rolls his eyes, the nerve of some people, “So I guess you are single again”

“Technically I’ve always been a confirmed bachelor” Alexander was teasing Geppetto, “Mmm maybe you and I should get together”

“If you are being this flirty now, I wonder how it would be after going out for drinks” Geppetto wondered if he should invite Venigni, it should be good for him to meet Alexander, and Antonia to see him in person after so many years.

“Did you already forget the fun things we did while studying?” Alexander had a smug grin on his face, “Remember when-”

“No no no don’t bring them up here in public!” Geppetto was mortified, “I wouldn’t be able to live with it if people knew those sorts of things”

There is a reason he avoids his previous classmates who are now his coworkers like the plague, they know about what he was up to and he is very thankful they have never shared any of that embarrassing stuff.

“I’m just saying that I don’t blame others back them for thinking we were secret boyfriends” Alexander joked, “Say how is Pinocchio? Strange he didn’t come with you”

“Oh he fell asleep while reading so he couldn’t come” His son had fallen asleep at his room desk, “So I put him to bed so he could rest properly”

“Wait what?” Alexander was shocked, “You can carry him?!”

“I’m stronger than I look under these clothes” Geppetto works at a factory, years of moving and carrying puppets or other materials would do that to you, he builds things, this isn't an office job, “I mean it’s not as if I can give him a piggyback ride but I can carry him well enough for at least a few seconds”

When Pinocchio first realized that, he looked so delighted, asked his father to “please please please” carry him, so Geppetto did, he managed to hold him for half a minute before it was too much for him.

“Look at that, I have a handsome Hercules by my side”

“Was the breakup that bad?”

“As I said, half joking” Alexander replied, “Although my plan worked”

“Your plan?” Geppetto was confused.

“You are smiling so my job of making your life less hard for the next few days is working well” Alexander had planned this from the start, well he didn't plan about his boyfriend dumping him but you get the idea.

Geppetto was already in a better mood, after having to deal with the awfulness of Arlechino and his stressful work life, he needed a break, even if they still don’t know much more about the alchemists a victory is a victory.

—---

“Pinocchio I'm so happy to see you” Alexander had missed him so much, they had gone to eat breakfast together the next morning.

They had a lot of catching up to do.

The conversation is interrupted when a group of coworkers approaches Geppetto to ask a few important questions, so he has to excuse himself from the table.

“Father has had a lot of work recently” Pinocchio looked a little down, “He can’t get a break, not even when he isn’t supposed to be working”

Something similar happened recently when Pinocchio was spending time with his father. Geppetto apologized, the problem is that the event is something huge for Krat, it was already canceled once and they cannot afford it to be a failure now. Despite this, Geppetto feels guilty, he feels as if he is failing Pinocchio like he failed Carlo.

“I’m making him a gift so he feels better,” Pinocchio said with a smile.

“That’s so thoughtful of you” Alexander smiled back.

Pinocchio began to explain his gift, the surprise he had for his father, the boy was so full of joy, for a moment a part of him wanted to have a child. He is too old for that and not something realistic, yet Pinocchio is that vibrant.

Because he was now having peace, everything that had to do with The King of Riddles was killing him due to the pressure.

“I’m almost done, I’m going to give it to him when he returns from work”

“I’m sure he’ll love it”

Speaking of work, Alexander is going to be given a tour of the factory, since it's only when Geppetto has “free” time (although it's more an excuse for Alexander to be there without trouble).

Geppetto gave him a special invitation to attend any event he wanted at the Grand Exhibition, he isn’t the only person to get that, there is a special group of people that were chosen for this, people with exceptional work skills, there will more in-depth conversations with them about puppets or other projects. It is a great honor, anyone who attends surely will have countless new work endeavors in the future, an opportunity of a lifetime.

—-

No wonder Geppetto has been having a hard time, Alexander keeps hearing gossip behind the man’s back, people seem to specifically be talking about his son.

“I’m sorry that you have to deal with all of this” Geppetto apologized.

“Why are you apologizing? They are trash-talking you, not me”

“I know, it’s hard to take action when anyone can claim I’m just using my position of authority to silence others”

As Alexander kept on checking the factory, he started to realize opinions were more divided. Half of the workers have a great deal of respect for Geppetto, his work endeavors have gained him fame, everything goes according to plan due to him, and he constantly gets exceeding results, going above everyone’s expectations.

More than that, there is a reason he is the director/president of this union, not just because he first invented the puppets, but rather because he goes above and beyond for the union to succeed, people like him because instead of being a controlling overbearing boss, he is kind to the workers.

Obviously, not everyone is going to like you, still, Alexander finds it odd that there is such extreme divisiveness, he has lived this work drama before. So he can already conclude someone is making Geppetto’s reputation worse to rally others against him.

And speak of the devil, Alexander could see Geppetto biting his tongue as soon as he saw Conrad. After exchanging not-so-pleasant pleasantries, a conversation took place.

“Geppetto did you consider about what we spoke of the other day?” Conrad is referring how he passive-aggressively asked Geppetto if he would show off Pinocchio at the Grand Exhibition.

“Pinocchio is coming as a guest, that’s all” He is also only attending on the first day, no reason making his son die of boredom by staying at his side all the time the rest of the week.

The man had a smirk on his face “Then I can’t wait to see your puppet son with you there” Conrad left, saying how there was something that needed his supervision.

His puppet son, people keep referring to Pinocchio like that, do they really have no shame? Alexander is an inventor, he can understand the curiosity of how Pinocchio was built, but all these comments are going too far.

Then he gets an idea, so when Geppetto is a little busy talking with others he decides to make a phone call.

“Hello?” Pinocchio answered the phone, it felt good to answer it without fear.

“Hi Pinocchio is me, Alexander, I wish to know, did you finish your father’s gift?” A few hours had passed, and Alexander was hoping that was the case.

“Yeah I did, why?” Pinocchio asked; Gemini could be heard in the background telling the boy to speak more formally.

“I think your surprise will be way better if you came here all the way here to show him your hard work”

“Really?” Pinocchio sounded excited from the other line.

“Of course” Alexander continued, “I’ve known your father for many years, the surprise will be so special”

The plan was set, he just had to do a few more things, so when he went back he knew what to do.

“Venigni will join us later today” Geppetto explained, “He is talking with some investors at the moment, knowing him, everything will go swell”

When Geppetto stopped the conversation, it was when Alexander had his chance.

“I must say, I’m very impressed about the facilities, if only we had only a fraction of the technology you have here in London,” Alexander said, “But can we speak in private for a moment?”

Emphasis on private so others would overhear.

Geppetto didn’t find it strange, he assumed Alexander wanted to catch up so he decided to take him to a current unoccupied testing room.

“I know it has been a couple of months but it has felt like an eternity since I last saw you” Alexander can’t believe how slowly time is passing, he is supposed to be getting old, and time should fly by like it was nothing.

“Oh you have no idea how time passed for me these past couple of months” Geppetto sighed.

“Maybe I should get a gift for Pinocchio, my schedule isn’t stable and who knows when I will see you or him again”

“It’s going to be a very early gift, considering his birthday is in 3 months” Geppetto smiled thinking about it, “I can’t believe he is only turning 2 years old, I should tease him more about him being my little boy”

Pinocchio certainly is more mature than what most give him credit for, but if you were to ask Geppetto his son acts more like a teen rather than a young kid, still, that won't stop Geppetto from teasing him.

The conversation then evolved into catching up about their work affairs, Alexander saying how the project they worked on had been a huge success, then brainstorming a few ideas. If they ever got the chance again, working together would be lovely. The conversation sounded almost professional, but that’s how Alexander talks normally, aside from when he is teasing.

“I’ll be back in a moment, just need to use the restroom” With that said, Alexander excused himself.

Alexander entered the other side of the testing room, where there was a hidden glass to see the results, it sort of works as the ones certain police stations have. It tests the abilities of newcomers as having someone directly looking at them gave them unnecessary stress and it worked well in the end since it shows how well they can work alone, with their full concentration in one task.

Plenty of Geppetto’s coworkers were there, he knew that they were spying on both of them, wanting to catch a glimpse of information about Pinocchio. Alexander had his plan set, he was a little nervous but he had a confident aura, this will work out, he is certain of it.

Harvey and other board members were here, the only two not present were Conrad and Venigni.

There was a brief period of small talk when Alexander looked at the clock, Pinocchio would arrive soon.

“I know how Pinocchio was built,” Alexander said casually.

That instantly caught the attention of everyone, all of them asking him dozens of questions before he simply put his hand up for them to stop talking.

“Pinocchio is going to show up in a few minutes, then all of you will know the answer”

All of them ignored how odd that was, they didn’t question it, Alexander was about to reveal to all of them how Pinocchio was built, what the secret behind that marvel of technology was, all paying intense attention to the other side, awaiting Geppetto to make a slip-up and reveal the truth.

“Father!” Pinocchio had found his father, having a big smile on his face.

“Huh? Pinocchio what are you doing here?” Geppetto was confused, “Is something wrong?”

“No” Pinocchio got closer to his father, he had something behind his back, “It’s the opposite, it’s something good, I got you a gift!”

“A gift?” Geppetto smiled, “You came all the way here to give me a gift?”

Pinocchio nodded enthusiastically, giving his father the wrapped box he had hidden.

Geppetto pulled on the bow opening it, inside was a wooden music box.

“I made it!” Pinocchio was almost jumping up and down in joy.

Alexander faintly smiled, that boy is as precious as his father says, he could tell the others were wondering where this was going, they’ll see.

Geppetto grabbed the music box examining it carefully, it was so detailed.

The outside was painted black having gold accents, and shapes that gave it a distinct elegant look, like something you would find in a high-class type of store. It has a drawer on the outside to put small things inside, such as jewelry or letters.

Opening the box it revealed a small white rabbit, it had rosy cheeks and blue eyes, a blue ribbon on its neck; it would spin around with the music, it was a simple yet fitting melody. On the inside was a small painting of a field in nighttime, with beautiful stars and the moon. His son is such a talented artist.

“Pinocchio…” Geppetto couldn’t believe it, it was so beautiful, and it worked perfectly as intended, “Thank you, son”

Pinocchio hugged his father, telling him that he loved him.

Father and son started talking, Pinocchio saying how his music lessons with Antonia went, telling his father about the book he had been reading recently, talking about the fun he had with Gemini…

No one was saying anything yet the atmosphere began to change as they watched the interaction, father and son bonding. Many people in the room had children, young or grown up by now, they saw themselves on the two of them, getting a cheerful feeling, yet also another feeling.

Guilt.

Have they truly been treating Geppetto’s son unfairly? No, he is just a puppet, right? Many puppets are programmed to act friendly, and pleasantly, surely this is only-

“Um, father” Pinocchio’s tone of voice had changed, “Are you… feeling better now?”

Pinocchio is worried because his father has been so stressed by the planning of the Grand Exhibition. People all around the world are coming to see this, this isn’t just his hard work, it’s the hard work of countless people.

It’s supposed to show what the people of Krat are capable of making, to show the world what they have made, if this fails, if the public doesn’t like it, what would they think of the people of Krat?

What would the people of Krat do if this fails? Was this all a waste? Was all the years of effort worthless in the end?

He can’t let them down, Geppetto can’t fail when there are so many people counting on him.

“Yes, of course son” It’s a lie, an obvious lie to everyone, including Pinocchio.

“I can do something!” Pinocchio gets a little closer to his father, he has no true idea of all the organizing that has to be put into planning this, still, he wants to help, “If I help you with anything then you have less work and you won’t get stressed and-“

“Pinocchio is my job to worry about you, not the other way around” Geppetto pats his son’s head, “Everything will be okay, I can handle all this work”

The guilt intensifies, here is this sweet boy who most have only seen him as an object, even those who didn’t see him as that would see him as a regular puppet, being polite about Geppetto’s wishes to treat him as his son.

That is his son, who loves and worries about his father. What difference there is as if he was human?

“Geppetto build him with love” Alexander knows that probably sounds extremely corny.

Sometimes the truth is simple.

Even if Geppetto didn’t build Pinocchio under the best of circumstances, the love put into making him is clear to everyone, the same love he has to take care of him, to give him the life he deserves.

“Now” Alexander spoke up again, “I believe all of you owe that man and his son an apology”

After that, Alexander returned to talk with Geppetto, pretending to be surprised that Pinocchio was there with him, although Geppetto would love to have Pinocchio with him, he has to go back to work.

They decided to continue on their tour, and that’s when Geppetto noticed a lot of people would come to him and apologize from time to time.

“Geppetto I wanted to apologize, for the way everyone has talked about your son, me included” Harvey looked ashamed, yes he was kind to Pinocchio but he would be lying to himself if he said that he didn’t see him more as a marvel of technology rather than his actual son.

“There is no need to overwork yourself, if you need my help, I will be available at all times, that’s my duty as subdirector” Harvey knows that everyone is getting too comfortable letting Geppetto do so much work by himself.

“Although I do need to inform you that unfortunately, I’ve discovered an issue with the disruption crystals, I believe that-“

“Father!” Pinocchio suddenly appeared behind them, he hugged Geppetto, he was acting affectionate, more than usual.

Geppetto knew why already so he crossed his arms.

He put his two index fingers together, “Can I have some money? Pretty please?”

“What about your allowance?” Geppetto’s voice was stern.

“I haven’t wasted it or anything!” Pinocchio defended himself, “I saw something nice for Mother, but I couldn’t afford it”

“What are you getting her that’s so expensive?” Geppetto was being comprehensive, “You know she will love everything you give her no matter how simple, you don’t need to get her something extravagant”

“I tried to explain to him the same thing” Gemini chirped from his cage, “Not only that but Pinocchio I told you, everything there is normal things that get the luxury label to sound fancier”

Pinocchio could hear a sigh of frustration behind him, someone wasn’t happy to see him, he turned around and stood behind his father when he saw who it was.

“Geppetto for the millionth time, your puppet can’t be here” Conrad was fuming, “It’s distracting everyone from valuable work progress”

Corand was no longer being passive-aggressive, his anger taking over him, as it turns out, what he was supervising wasn’t going well, in fact, it took a complete left turn derailing everything in such a crucial time, so he decided to take it out on others.

Geppetto also wasn’t happy, “My son is causing no trouble, everything is going according to plan, there is no reason to give ourselves unnecessary stress”

Conrad had no choice but to admit that things on his side weren’t going that well, Pinocchio could feel the tension, he started to feel uncomfortable, Alexander put one of his hands on his shoulder to reassure him.

“I see” Geppetto was trying to calm himself, “I’ll be there in a moment, I-”

“Geppetto this has to be fixed now”

“Then why is it that you can’t do it yourself? You are the supervisor of the quality control department, this is your responsibility”

“Do you want the Grand Exhibition to go well or not?” Conrad snapped, “I can expect it to be a disaster when it’s under the leadership of someone like you”

“What is that supposed to mean?” Geppetto was confronting him, and other workers were looking at the argument.

“You truly don’t expect us to believe that a man like you, who treats a puppet-”

“Pinocchio is my son, he is in front of you and you will refer to him as such”

Pinocchio was getting mad, how dare he speak to his father this way? Like the previous time, Pinocchio’s anger made him get loud, this time his springs were reacting loudly.

Alexander tried to grab Pinocchio’s hand, he wanted to take him out of there so he wouldn’t see this but Pinocchio spoke up before he could grab him.

“Stop being rude to my father!” Pinocchio shouted.

Conrad let out a groan of frustration, “You better control your puppet because it’s only making things worse”

“This is the last time I will say it, Pinocchio is my son and you will treat him with the respect he deserves” Geppetto was done with him, with his attitude, he will no longer take his abuse for the sake of formalities.

Conrad was also done with Geppetto and decided to let his true feelings out.

“Get over it okay?!” Conrad seethed, “Carlo is dead, stop being delusional that this thing is your son, it’s a god-dammed puppet no matter how flashy it looks!”

Both Geppetto and Pinocchio were about to say that he isn’t Carlo when Conrad shouted something first.

“I don’t care if that machine is your do-over baby because you couldn’t protect your real son, get that thing out of here!”

The room was so silent you could hear a pin drop.

“You are fired”

“What?” Conrad thought he didn’t hear him correctly.

“I said that you are fired, effective immediately” Geppetto was calm, yet his eyes showed another story, “You can say what you want about me but I will not tolerate you or anyone else talk badly about my son ever again”

“You are joking right?” Conrad couldn’t believe it, how dare he fire him?!

“I don’t know who you think you are, that you believe can talk to my son that way without consequences, don’t answer, I don’t care, I want you gone by the end of the day” Geppetto was unforgiving in his calm fury.

“We should leave” Alexander whispered to Pinocchio, who was still angry about how Conrad spoke about his father and brother but he listened to Alexander and left the scene with him.

“You can’t fire me” Conrad looked confident, thinking that Geppetto was bluffing.

“I can, and I’m doing it right now, I’m the president of the union I have the authority to do so” Geppetto stood his ground, “Do you truly believe that behavior you have been showing is appropriate for any employee of this company?”

That’s when Conrad finally realized Geppetto was serious, “You can’t fire me when the Grand Exhibition opening is tomorrow, what will you do without someone in my position?”

“I can think of several candidates off the top of my head that can fill your position”

“This is why you aren’t fit to be the leader of this union” Conrad tried to rally up others to take his side, “Not only are you abusing your position to fire me like that, but you seriously think that we should listen to a man like you? Who likes to play pretend happy family?”

Except no one took his side, even if they still agreed with him, the way he was speaking to Geppetto made everyone see how entitled he was, and how he thought he was above others.

It created a chain reaction, workers from Conrad’s department began to speak out about the verbal abuse they had to endure for him, and how they all took it because they didn’t want to lose their jobs.

“I believe that is you who is abusing your position of power” Harvey asserted himself then he took out a notebook and held it for all to see.

“I was going to see if we could have this meeting in private with the other board members but since you like to show off, care to explain why your signature is on several notices that disruption crystals have been delivered when that’s not the case?”

Conrad gasped, then covered his mouth due to the involuntary reaction, he had been caught, not only that, but it was clear to see that others weren’t going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

He was silent, not being able to come up with an excuse on the spot.

“You are fired and an internal investigation will start as soon as you leave the front doors” Geppetto now had to deal with the legal department, great, even when he is getting fired, Conrad makes his life harder.

Conrad didn’t protest, he knew that it was over, now afraid of what Frederick would do due to this issue. Surely unlike Geppetto, the doctor is someone can can be reasoned with right?

——

“I had no idea your son was such a talented pianist” Alexander was enjoying the show.

Pinocchio was playing the piano inside Hotel Krat, everyone around the lobby enjoying the performance.

“He is talented, although that talent wouldn’t have flourished without Antonia’s help” Geppetto loved seeing his son play such a captivating melody.

“Geppetto as usual you give me too much credit” Antonia smiled looking at her son.

When Pinocchio was done, his family and a few others clapped, it made him happy to see all were enjoying how he played, he isn’t used to having an audience.

“Let’s go home son” Geppetto grabbed Pinocchio’s hand.

Pinocchio loved to walk together with his father, so he waved goodbye to Alexander and his mother.

“Aren’t you going to spend the night with Mr. Alexander?” Pinocchio found it odd that his father was heading home with him.

“Tomorrow is the opening son, I can’t drink even the slightest I wouldn’t want to risk it”

“Can adults really not have fun without drinking?” Pinocchio doesn’t get that stuff, specially with how alcohol has affected him the times he drank it.

“We can, now don’t get sassy with me” Geppetto rolled his eyes.

Minutes passed walking in silence when Pinocchio spoke up again.

“Um, father…I’m sorry” Pinocchio was looking at the floor.

“Mmm, for what son?” Geppetto explained how he was only joking when he said that.

“No, for causing trouble at work, it must have been hard to fire that coworker”

Geppetto burst out laughing and Pinocchio looked at his father puzzled.

“Son, trust me, I loved it, this has made my week”

“But it’s Monday”

Pinocchio had a good time walking back home alongside his father. The Grand Exhibition, this time, he will have a good time inside, after all, he has his father by his side.

[ghosts-and-blue-sweaters]

There can never be too many roses, my friend XD

~~~

Tommy doesn't like all the same things that Ghostbur likes. Ghostbur likes clouds, and Tommy likes stars. Ghostbur likes blue, and Tommy likes red. Ghostbur likes soft grass and delicate flowers, and Tommy likes dirt and dandelions. They're actually quite different from each other, which is why Ghostbur decided to make a list; he didn't want to accidentally bring Tommy things that he didn't like, such as forget-me-nots or a sweater. Those are things that Ghostbur likes, not Tommy. 

~~~

Ghostbur walks along the dirt path littered with leaves and acorns, and every couple steps he comes across a twig or a large pebble. He doesn't kick those, like other people would have; they're not bothering anybody, and Ghostbur can't help but feel a little cruel about the idea of slamming his boot into them. He'll leave them be, just as they are. He feels much better about that idea. 

~~~

Tommy goes quiet for a second or two. "This isn't a vacation, Ghostbur. And that's not me being a pessimist."

Ghostbur turns to glance at him, eyes narrowed doubtfully. "But Dream said it was a vacation."

"Yeah, well Dream is a liar. He also wears a green hoodie."

"I like his green hoodie."

"It's ugly."

"I like it."

"It's so ugly."

Ghostbur purses his lips, turning back to the beach. "Oh."

"It's uglier than baby frogs. Have you ever seen baby frogs, Ghostbur?"

"Tadpoles? Oh yes, I've seen lots of those!"

"Huh. Well, Dream's hoodie is uglier than them. Just so you know."

"Okay!"

~~~

After a minute, Niki walks slowly forward, closing the short distance between them. She reaches her hand out, gently resting her hand on Wilbur's shoulder. It's delicate. It's agonizing. He doesn't want her here. 

Wilbur leans a little more towards her touch. Niki's breath catches. "Wil."

~~~

Wilbur brightens, eyes widening. "Yeah! Every time I get bigger, my heart will get bigger, which means that I can fit more love inside it! That means that the bigger I get, and the bigger you get, the more I'll love you!"

~~~

Wilbur grins. "Niki Nihachu, I crave adventure."

~~~

"Tommy, please shut up." Wilbur comes to a halt, turning around. Tommy stalks forward, stumbling through the heavy snow. His facial expression is one of utter misery. "Look, I'll wait for you to catch up, but then you need to walk with me, okay? Keep pace with your big brother Wilbur."

Tommy scowls. "I thought you said that made you cry."

"What made me cry?"

"Saying you're my brother."

Wilbur pauses. He wipes at his nose with his glove. "Well, when you say it. When I say it it's fine."

Tommy grumbles. "I hate you."

"Come on, Tommy. Hurry up, come on! You can do it!"

~~~

Tommy stares down at his feet. He never wears socks to bed, because only a complete idiot would do that, or perhaps someone who's really cold and insecure. Tommy's the opposite: he's warm and solid, like a statue except more colorful. 

~~~

Charlie gasps. "Oh yes, I remember that room, Quackity! There's a lot of buttons in there!"

Wilbur swears under his breath, but Quackity doesn't pay him any mind. "Yes, you're- that's right, there are a lot of buttons in there, but listen—do not press any buttons unless I tell you to."

"Aw man. I wanted to press a button, Quackity."

"Do not press any buttons."

Charlie heaves a sigh. "Oh, alright."

~~~

Tommy brings the mug to his lips, tipping it ever so slightly—it's filled to the brim, so tilting it even a bit more would cause it to spill—and letting the warm drink fill his mouth. Warm... more like hot. Really hot. So hot that it burns his tongue a little bit, which hurts but not enough to feel bad. It's a good hurt. A better hurt than on Exile, at least. None of those hurts were ever good, because everything was cold and cold hurts are never fun. 

Warm hurts are good, though. Tommy swallows the tea and takes another tiny sip. 

~~~

Before Wilbur can respond, she blinks, looking up at him. "He would buy me stuffed animals a lot, but pretty much only bunnies. Do you know what bunnies are?"

"Bun- rabbits? Yes, I know what they are." Wilbur takes another inhale of cigarette smoke, resisting the urge to narrow his eyes. What sort of person doesn't know what rabbits are?

"Oh. You looked like the kind of person who doesn't know a lot about animals." The girl sighs deeply. "I guess I was wrong."

This time it's Wilbur's turn to stare. "Wh-"

~~~

Instead, he wipes his face with his arm, smearing away any unshed tears gathered in his eyes. His sweater is warm. That's nice. Ghostbur brings his other arm up, burying his nose into the yellow wool and breathing in the scent. In and out. It smells like a forest, and sheep, and something slightly sweet. It smells very nice.

Ghostbur doesn't want to cry anymore.

Please can I request shelby sister getting a love bite and her brothers reactions to it?

Hello! Sorry, this isn't the greatest but I couldn't really think of a way to end it plus I'm mega tired.

Living with three extremely overprotective older brothers was not fun or easy, especially as you wanted to grow up and explore as many young women do.

But every time YN wants to go out she gets a barrage of questions from your brothers asking where she was going, who she was going out with, what time she would be back and about a million more questions before she escapes through the door.

But her brother's over-protectiveness would end up biting them in the arse as (Y/N) began to sneak out to avoid them, either climbing through her bedroom window or sneaking out during the dead of night when everyone was asleep. The only person who caught on was Ada who did the same thing when she was her age and in sister solidarity, Ada kept her mouth shut.

Every weekend (Y/N) snuck out to hang out with her friends at a pub and would come back just before the sun rose but this weekend was slightly different. Usually, she would just drink with her friends but this time there was a group of boys sitting at the table next to them and the two groups got close, buying drinks for each other and becoming close which caused things to develop in a not-so-innocent way and resulted in her leaving the pub with a couple of love bites on her neck.

As (Y/N) turned the corner onto Watery Lane, she stopped in her steps at the sight of all the lights on in her house. They had figured it out and were waiting for her to get her so they could confront her. 

(Y/N) considered running off to a friend's house but that would only delay the inevitable so she squared her shoulders and continued home completely forgetting about the marks on her neck. 

The low murmuring coming from the kitchen halted to a stop when she closed the front door behind her. (Y/N) quickly hurried to the kitchen, knowing that if she lingered she would run away and the consequences would be worse.

With one final deep breath, (Y/N) pushed open the kitchen door and stepped inside to find everyone in there waiting for her, even little Finn was struggling to keep his eyes open.

Polly let out a sigh of relief when (Y/N) walked through the door, “Right! She managed to make it home safe. Can we finally go to bed?”

“Not just yet Pol,” Arthur grumbled.

“No, you lot can do whatever you want but it’s past Finn’s bedtime, we’re both going upstairs”

No one argued at that and even though (Y/N) hoped Ada would stay downstairs, her older sister gave her a sympathetic smile and a pat on her shoulder before following Polly and Finn upstairs.

“Might as well get this over with then…” (Y/N) sighed as she threw herself into the seat that Polly and Ada had vacated, opposite her three very angry brothers.

“Defying our explicit rules, drinking with strangers, staying out on the streets all night and god knows what else” Tommy begins the telling off, “Why would you do everything we told you not to do?”

(Y/N) didn’t even get a chance to speak before Arthur speaks up,

“We raised you better than this! What happened to you?”

(Y/N) huffed at her brother, “The only reason I do this is that you keep me on a bloody leash! I’m not allowed to do a million things according to you and I’m fucking tired of it”

(Y/N) jumped up from the couch to storm upstairs but was stopped in her tracks but John’s hand on her arm.

“Wait a sec…what’s that on your neck?”

(Y/N)’s eyes widen as she remembers her lovebites, she had totally forgotten about them.

“You must be getting old, there’s nothing on my neck” (Y/N) quipped in hope that it would distract her brothers.

She only managed to one step up before Tommy grabbed her arm and tugged her back down the stairs and down on the sofa.

“That’s not going to work and you know it now tell us the truth, what’s with the hickeys” Tommy got straight to the point, face blank and serious as usual.

Tommy was the only brother whose buttons she didn’t try to push and though he did have a soft side that allowed for some teasing, she had learned when that side came out and it was most definitely not now.

“You know, love bites nothing special…” (Y/N) mumbled under her breath

“Speak up!” Arthur cut in

(Y/N) huffed and rolled her eyes but did as she was told, “It was only this once!”

“It’s not like we can trust your word, look at what you’ve been doing for the past couple of weeks, sneaking out and all!” This time it was John who spoke up.

“Well, I wouldn’t have had to do that if you didn’t keep me on a damned leash the whole time! Christ!”

With one last glare at her brothers, she stormed upstairs effectively escaping any more questioning as well as any punishment. Whilst her brother had most definitely not forgotten about the hickeys that have hopefully realised it was better if they shut up and act like they never existed than deal with a very angry her.

YANDERE! CAMILO MADRIGAL (SPECIAL)

Yandere! Camilo Madrigal x Gender neutral! Reader

They/them pronouns for Reader

He/him pronouns for Camilo

Summary: The madrigals and you go on a field trip or an adventure and you have some fun honestly just some fluff

FIELD TRIP! OR AN ADVENTURE?

Hello it's me Brunomadrigalislove or Veszteseg and "Oh my gosh there is a part 3 of the camilo series?? But I thought part 3 isn't needed??" you're right but this isn't a part 3 more like a special or an aftermath. @homareswife requested this so why not lol.

Note: this will be short and there won't be a lot of yandere moments since this will be mostly fluff and all of this will be in 3rd pov. Also meet Ashp he is Y/N's friend Mini story He is a yandere and Y/N helped him get his lover by doing awful things. He won't be a love interest.

Warning: do not read this if you don't like yandere content. What does yandere mean you ask? Yandere is a portmanteau of two Japanese words. The first is yanderu, which means “to be sick,” and the second is deredere, used here for “lovestruck.” A yandere is often sweet, caring, and innocent before switching into someone who displays an extreme, often violent or psychotic, level of devotion to a love interest. In short some one who is obsessed to someone they love

You and Camilo were in the dinner table playing Uno and the other family members were also there doing chores aside from Mirabel and Dolores, You wanted to find them but Camilo stopped you. Personally Camilo wanted to cuddle but you guys were cuddling for 15 minutes. "Uno!" you exclaimed. "Ugh! You always win, this is unfair." Camilo complained while he threw his cards.

"Camilo, Uno is a luck based game. This is proof I have better luck than you" You told Camilo and crossed your arms and gave a smug look. Camilo rolled his eyes jokingly.

Mirabel and Dolores suddenly ran they're way to the dinner table or the kitchen. "GUYS! g-guys!" Mirabel said panting and dolores was panting too. "hmm, what is it Mirabel?" you said in a soft tone. You had a soft spot for Mirabel since you guys were friends since her ceremony.

"Okay. Sooo do you guys remember since we had our last vacation?" Mirabel asked the family. "11 months ago, Why do you ask la nieta?" Abuela asked Mirabel (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

"Well. Me and Dolores found a place where we could have a vacation!" Mirabel said happily. "After all we need a rest we've been busy helping the town" Mirabel went to Abuela and massaged her shoulder

"but the people need our help Mirabel" Abuela told Mirabel. "I don't mean to be rude but I have someone who Can deal with that" You suggested. "You do!" everyone exclaimed (except you) "You do! And you never told me?!" Camilo asked and a raised his voice a bit

"Well you never asked" You said calmly. Camilo looked at you suspiciously. "Thank you Y/N but are you sure they'll be okay with it?" Abuela asked you. "Don't worry Abuela they won't mind at all" You said while smiled 'After all they owe me' you thought.

"thank you Y/N, Well everyone get ready!" Abuela clapped as a sign to tell to pack up. As you were about to stand up and Camilo grabbed your arm to make you sit back down.

"Who is this person huh? What so special about him that you didn't tell me about him" Camilo told you with anger in his eyes.

"Well he's just my partner in crime" You told him. "I thought I was you're partner in crime?" Camilo said getting irritated. 'Gosh no way we've done more worse things' you thought "Aww Cam you're much better than him" You said in a loving tone and booped him and stood up and went somewhere private leaving Camilo there.

Before you called him you went to bruno's room and knocked "Tio bruno!" you yelled as an attempt to get bruno's attention, then the door opened in a few seconds "Oh hello Y/N, is there anything you need?" said bruno. "Well the family and me are going to an trip or vacation, Wanna come?" You asked bruno "Oh! Uh okay!" bruno said trying to hide his excitement "Okay then see you later tio bruno, I'll call you when were ready" You told bruno and waved and went somewhere private.

You called him and said "Hey Ashp I need you're help" You told the guy acting like a you're in a suspense scene.

A FEW MINUTES LATER

"Thank you Ashp" You told him while smiling. "It's alright Y/N I owe you after all" Ashp said smiling at you with a small mischief in his eyes.

Camilo looked mad at the interaction between the 2 guys. "CAMILO! Y/N!" Abuela called the 2 of you "Well that's our cue. Make sure to take good care of the people 'kay ashp?" You told him in a threatening tone

" 'kay" said ashp and then you and Camilo went to the car (you, Camilo, Mirabel and dolores sat at the back pretend there is a extra seat)

You placed you're arm in his waist and kissed his forehead.

Camilo nodded "I need help changing, it's complicating to change into this" Camilo said.

You sighed, and pulled Camilo to the room and helped him change. After that you guys swam so did the adults you guys had fun the day was full of laughter and joy you were happy Mirabel and Dolores recommended this.

You and Camilo talked about today and how happy you guys were "And then... Oh you're asleep" Camilo said and faced towards you. Then he smiled "Ah, I'm glad that were together and that I didn't need to force you to be with me"...

IN THE MORNING

You guys were packing up to go home and went to the car and sat at the same seat you guys seated at. You and Camilo were listening to music and all of a sudden slept because of how tired you both were.

THE END

[katsukikitten]

Part one. Master list for plus one can be found here.

Just a nice fic I decided to write for fun. Please enjoy!

Asshole!

He was nothing but a huge, giant fucking ASSHOLE for the entire two years the two of you were dating and he decides NOW is a good time to break up with you?

Two days before your cousin's wedding and over TEXT MESSAGE?!

That fucking asshole.

He knew how you felt. Exactly how you felt about going alone to your cousin's wedding after your family begged to meet your boyfriend and teased you for "probably making him up." Which hell, he may as well have been made up considering how absent he was in the relationship. Using work as an excuse to come home late but forgetting to turn off his snap location when he showed up at the bar.

So you did what any rational woman in her upper twenties would do.

You drowned your sorrows in booze, tonight red wine as it was the only thing around, and you scrolled through your socials in hopes of distracting yourself from your suffering.

Alas the devil that is Instagram only amplified your sadness and irritation. Showing couple after couple, your friends on hikes kissing on the mountain top, kissing in the flickering light of candles at a fancy dinner or, worst yet, getting proposed to. The video showing her in hysterics screaming, "YES I DO I DO!"

And it feels terrible to feel this way. Especially about your friends, the people you love and want to support, still it stings. You hadn't told anyone about the breakup, you weren't even sure your friends even remembered that asshole's name.

A teardrop lands on your screen, magnifying all the magical lights of the led beneath the glad. You wipe away the tear and with that the feed refreshes. A new post has come in at the top, Res Riot's official account.

Kirishima stands with a fat white cat in his arms. He dwarfs the animal with his large stature that looks larger as he still has his Red Riot gear on. The caption reads something along the lines of "missed my precious baby."

Red wine is a dangerous thing as your body acts on its own. You go to his page to hit the little arrow to DM him. Typing out and backspacing your message as you struggle from the booze, you decide to say fuck it and use the voice memo feature. Before you know it your sniffling voice is playing back to you after you've hit send.

"My ex broke up with me before this stupid wedding. It's in two days and my family is going to roast me big time when I show up alone. They think I made that asshole up. I don't know why I'm even in your dms. Your account is probably run by some dick head who can't even capture your kindness. I guess I'm here cause my first thought seeing you on my timeline was Red Riot has always been my hero…"

Ugh totally fucking cringe.

There is no surprise as you see the three normally ominous dots pop up, probably his social media manager about to ask you to stop your "advances" as Kirishima is too busy to date and he'd hate to block you or some other bullshit.

But there it is a surprise to see a little bubble with the play button and some vertical lines in various heights. It takes your sluggish brain a moment to realize you've been sent a voice memo. Odd. Your thumb smashes the screen faster than you can think and a deep voice rumbles through the speakers of your phone.

"Actually I run my official and personal socials. And I'm sorry to hear about your ex doll. He sounds like a real ass. I'll be your hero, I'll go with you to the wedding."

Your heart stutters, no way, no way in HELL this was Red Riot. You had read about the horror stories before or pervy account managers taking advantage of women who so desperately wanted to talk to their hero.

Hell, it's happened to Dynamight plenty of times.

You swallow quickly but the bile rushes up your throat. Not just from the anxiety of a possible con but from drinking an entire bottle of wine with nothing on your stomach after months of sobriety. Quickly you stumble to the bathroom, abandoning your phone on your bed. You barely make it in time to praise the porcelain Gods before you fall onto your back. Looking up at the light in your cramped bathroom, the orb doubles and spins as you feel the Earth turning on its axis. You curl into your side using your bathmat as a pillow as you drift off into sleep, totally forgetting about the voice memo on your phone.

As you sleep peacefully on your memory foam bath rug, Kirishima settles into his nightly routine. One giant hand grabbing strands of long dark red hair into a towel while another sits snugly around his Adonis belt and the thick, black happy trail that follows up the center of his abs before spreading out onto his chest. He tosses the towel over the open door of the bathroom before sitting in his favorite armchair with phone in hand. Diamond, his beautiful white cat he rescued a few years ago, jumps onto the arm of the chair, purring loudly when Kirishima's free hand scratches her ears absentmindedly.

He chuckles to himself as he realizes exactly what he's done. Acting on a feeling instead of logic all because he heard a "damsel in distress." Starting off his rare vacation with spontaneity starting with an impromptu date with a stranger. He really isn't sure what you look like and it's obvious your handle doesn't have your real name in it, just PrincessPeach with some random numbers at the end. He takes the time to scroll through your profile. Seeing pictures of food, of many sunsets, a friend's dog that guest appears often, your own cat and plenty of strays.

It takes him a while before he sees a photo of you. His heart stutters in his chest as he looks you over. Laughing with a friend, soft lighting from strings over head that blur like little fireflies. Your smile is wide, half hidden by your hands as your eyes seem to smile with you. Sparkling as if they held stars.

For a moment Kirishima forgets how to breathe, it isn't until Diamond jumps down from the armchair does he inhale. He smiles softly to himself before he drops his towel, puts his phone on charge and promptly falls asleep in his bed.

Kirishima rises before the sun even has a chance to filter through his blinds. He sighs softly, getting up to a sitting position disturbing a fluffy white ball that lays beside him.

"Mmrow." Moon stone eyes blink slowly as they look at the mountainous man hogging the bed.

"I didn't mean to wake you sweet baby." He says softly, going to pet the soft white fur only for her to get up stretch and give him her butt before plopping back down.

"I know, mean ol' daddy woke you up too early again." He says softly, his hand falling onto her back before he rises from the bed. Fishing for his running shorts, socks, headphones and shoes. He makes his protein shake, leaning on the counter as he drinks it, looking at how you read, or better yet, listened to his message but still no reply. It was late and there was a small slurring of your words, he figures you've passed out. He just hopes you're okay.

His run goes as usual, up before anyone else unless they were the normal avid runner. Passing by the usual array of people. An old man holding onto his youth by jogging through his daily five mile morning run, Kirishima knows he runs another five in the evening while the sun is setting. He hopes he can embody some of this man's commitment when he is older. Then he passes a middle aged woman, who gives him the biggest smile as she pases, jogging backward to send him a wink before plowing ahead. Occasionally he'll see a running group or a few teens training to be heroes, they always ask if they can run his route. "It's long." He always warns in a kind, warm voice. They assure him they will be fine so far only one other person could handle his 12 mile morning run. A young woman in her second year of hero courses at UA. Since then Kirishima put in a word with his boss and so every time internships roll around she's in the office.

By the time Kirishima is rounding back towards his high rise apartment, the city begins to stir. Slowly waking as men and women in business suits rush towards the train, parents flinging open the doors or curtains fussing at their children who cling to an extra few minutes of sleep before school.

This was always his favorite part of the run, not because it was almost over, oh no it was because he had a chance to glimpse at everyday life. Of nine to fives, of school hours and after school hangs outs at snack bars or the library.

What most would call the mundane but Kirishima would never call it that. It's why he worked so hard to protect it.

Diamond greets his sweaty form at the door. Glaring angrily with her moon stone eyes. Tail swishing before she goes to the kitchen by her bowl. Waiting impatiently.

"I'm not late, sweet cheeks." He coos, and she glares, "I know I know. You're hungry now."

He opens the fridge, gets out the highest quality food there is and places it on her dish, sure to keep it all in the middle or she'll claim her bowl was empty. He added a splash of water too since the weather was starting to get hot.

He sucks down a water or two, demolishes a protein bar and then heads to the apartment gym.

A few hours roll by and without hearing from you yet his worry over your well being begins to cloud the forefront of his mind. He pauses his music, picks up his phone and talks out a voice memo.

A loud DING echoes from your room and around your skull as you rise with a throbbing headache.

"Fuck." You hiss to yourself grabbing at your head as you shakily rise to your feet. Yanking the handle of the faucet to drink from the stream before looking at yourself in the mirror.

"Ugh." You grunt ignoring your swollen face and eyes, yanking the mirror door open to snatch at the bottle of aspirin. Swallowing THREE extra strength pills before slamming the door shut and turning off the faucet. You make your way towards your bedroom, more than ready to sleep the rest of your day away. Grabbing at your phone to charge it you see the push notification of an Instagram message from Red Riot.

The fucking Red Riot.

Internally you scream before it bubbles up your throat and escapes. You fumble to unlock your phone before looking that it's a voice memo.

Mortified you realize you sent one too. And first at that.

"Fuck MEEE!" You plop onto the bed. Nervous this second voice memo is probably about how you're a weirdo or something as you relive the memory of asking him to be your plus one.

Hesitantly your thumb hovers over the play button before you find the strength to press the cool glass. A soft thunderous voice plays out.

"Good morning sleepy head. I haven't heard from you yet, I hope you're okay. Be sure to drink some water and eat something greasy. Trust me, late nights with Denki and Bakugou taught me something. Since the wedding is tomorrow I'll need a picture of your dress for the color and style so I can match you Sweet pea. Contact me soon so I can know where to pick you up."

Did he… did he just call you SWEET PEA? Your heart pounds in your chest before it registers he's asked for your dress color and lowkey asked for your address. This couldn't be real. It sounded like Kirishima, his voice familiar from interviews you've watched but it very well could be a prank. Defeated you hit the small microphone and reply.

Kirishima hears a sharp DING in his headphones over his music as he finishes his set. He wipes the sweat from his face on his shirt giving the few people in the gym a lovely view of his sweaty and thick torso. One woman trips on the treadmill but it goes unnoticed by Kirishima. He pauses his music and hits play on the little memo. Your beautiful yet groggy voice comes in through his ear buds causing Kirishima to bite his lip. It causes such a flutter of butterflies in his stomach he has to listen a second time to actually hear what you said. Although he understand, he cannot help but feel hurt by your reply.

"How do I know you're not just some pervy guy using Kirishima's Godly looks to prey on unsuspecting people."

Your phone chirps at you from the bed stand and you growl reaching for it. You had hoped your message would have been clear. An unspoken of you know they're a fucking creep taking advantage of their PR job.

"What can I do to prove it to you, Sweet Pea?"

You hate how that cute nickname sends your heart into a somersault and your stomach in delightful knots. Still your doubt pulls a harsh tut from your lips before you reply.

Kirishima doesn't need his phone to alert him that you've messaged him, he's been looking at his screen for far to long without having to restart his set. He listens to your voice as if it were music.

"Fine, you wanna prove it to me so bad. Take a picture of yourself shirtless with the word 'Sweet pea' you love so much and send it to me. No photoshop I know what my favorite hero looks like!"

For over an hour you don't hear back and you figure you showed that perv.

But now you can't sleep so you nurse a water, door dash a "greasy" breakfast all before cranking your shower as high as it can go. Your phone dings and you try to ignore it. You really do but as the saying goes curiosity killed the cat. Opening the message you see a classic guy mirror selfie. Kirishima is clear as day in the photo, his large hand pointing to his bare, hairy chest where sweat pea is scrawled in his adorable handwriting. He winks at the camera as his kissable lips wear a dangerous, almost cocky eyes travel down his bulk following his happy trail that dives under a pair of black shorts, the best part of the view getting cut off by the vanity. At first you try to rationalize that this was fake but damning evidence was sitting on the vanity. A fluffy white cat in a diamond and ruby encrusted collar sits on the counter giving her owner an odd look.

His cat Diamond that everyone knows he loves and adores. Slick begins to collect between your thighs and especially so after you listen to the voice memo that comes through shortly after. His normally friendly and soft voice comes out a bit dark, husky as he says in a playfully annoyed tone.

"Now send me a picture of that dress, Sweet Pea."
