how do the batboys comfort reader when overstimulated?
wasn't sure which ones you wanted so i did like the main 5 (sorry i can't write duke yet i'll learn + the other ones) damian and tim are aged up btw if it wasn't implied anywhere else (but aged regularly in bruce's for plot convenience)
bruce wayne
would notice right away. he wouldn't waste a single second, figuring out the source of the issue and putting a stop to it.
"that a little better now?" he'll ask, turning off the light, the fan, and walking into tim and damian's rooms to get them to shut up. whatever made his baby happy.
richard grayson
would think it's his fault. he would do whatever you asked him to do. turn the tv off? you didn't even have to ask. the light's too bright? who even let that light be installed in the first place.
"sorry i talked your ear off earlier..." he would mumble solumnly, and he would only get done sulking after you told him it wasn't his fault.
jason todd
completely understands that, and is likely already feeling the same way as you. he already knew what to do, seeing as he'd been wanting to do it himself for an hour prior.
the only reason he hadn't done it earlier was because he wasn't sure if you wanted him to and he didn't know what would be okay. he always worried about what was okay with you, after all.
tim drake
didn't completely understand the first time it happened. he was cooperative, though. if you didn't want to be touched, he would be a little sad at first, but he wouldn't be upset with you.
"screen's too bright? so sorry, y/n, i'll put it away." he's always incredibly eager to please you, so he begs you to tell him the second he does something wrong to air on the side of caution.
damian wayne
wouldn't care if you were anyone else. having shared a house with a few people like you for the duration of his teenage years (post 10 years old, really..), he was already doing everything he could to get the dog to stop yapping at you.
"titus, cut the bull, y/n isn't in the mood for this right now." he says, gently kicking the large dog's back leg out the back door. he didn't talk much after the dog was out, and made sure not to touch you unless you told him it was okay.

Some thoughts on Lily Evans (Headcanons and other musings)
Headcanon things
---I think she really struggled internally about "not belonging" in both the muggle and wizard community. I couldn't imagine finding out I was part of some special group that made my family members ostracize me, THEN joining said new community to find that I am actually discriminated against and considered lesser. I don't think she was on the nerd level of say Hermione, but I think she really wanted to prove herself.
--I don't think she wore a bra. I use this in my fics a lot not just because it could be taken sexy, but because it would've been trendy at the time in the 70s. I think Lily would have kept up with the politics of the muggles and the wizarding world, and I would imagine she would be keen to follow the feminist movement.
--I'm really not of fan of the swarmy, bookish version of Lily that purveyed often in fics (I see more diversity now but back 10 years ago Lily was like some studious angel all the time.) We know she was smart and teachers loved her, but we also see a lot of anger and cheekiness from her too. I think James wouldn’t have been half as attracted to her if she was just a know it all. I imagine she was really sarcastic and quippy.
--I think Lily thought about fancying Remus in earlier years---to the point that in 4th year she turned on him quickly one day during prefects rounds and kissed him, immediately realized she felt nothing, and then they both agreed to stay friends and never speak of it (James would have died if he knew). After then, Lily had the habit of giving him a kiss on the cheek as greeting/goodbye (think of it as the french bisous, not like a real cheek kiss) and Sirius would always joke about "Where his kiss was"---which prompted Lily to draw real close to him ( making James feel jealous and uncomfortable) before yelling at him to fuck off.
--When Sirius and Lily became friends, they really became friends. They both confided in each other about being the family outsiders, they spent lots of study time listening to music, and she was always able to keep up with his sarcastic and self deprecating style of humor. Whenever Sirius would conjure rock music to play in the corridors, Lily always was the last of the prefects to put a stop to it. She would often spend time in the boys dorms even if James wasn't there to shoot the shit with Sirius and she often was his insider into all the cool muggle things he missed out on.
---Petunia peddled the idea that Lily was a "Hippie type" to Vernon and her friends upon being questioned and Lily really leaned into this gladly. She was very amused by the muggle occult craze in the 60s-70s and found a lot of enjoyment visiting muggle "esoteric shops" and getting books from them. This trait would later be adopted by the marauders who would take some of her muggle “occult magic” books and try to reproduce the (ridiculously fake) spells (often leading in explosions or very bad consequences seeing as the muggle “spells” were all a hoax and couldn’t stand up to real magical attempts). When she was home from the summer it was not uncommon for her to be reading a book by Aleister Crowley on the front stoop.
---Lily hated flying despite James' many tries to get her to enjoy it (he mostly liked that she was scared and held onto him more). Contrary to this, she loved Sirius motorbike. It felt more natural to her despite still being a flying object ( and despite both James and Sirius flying it in the most haphazard way possible.)
--One thing that drew Lily to James was his interest and love for muggle pop culture. I imagine Lily tried often to get Snape to listen to Joni Mitchell or have a laugh at how muggles depicted wizards/witches in film, but Snape didn't see the worth in doing those things---wanting to focus on the wizarding world. James on the other hand ate all of it up--he would jump at the chance to watch Carrie or The Wicker Man. Even before dating James, I think Snape's disdain for all things muggle was off putting to Lily, who saw just as much to learn from muggles as she did from the wizarding world.
Reference things
---I base a lot of my fic Petunia/Lily relationships off of the British show Fleabag. I HIGHLY recommend it and I think its a great example of two sisters who are completely at odds with each other. I think Lily and Petunia's relationship would be much more complicated obviously due to their reasoning for falling out, but I think in general its a great depiction of two sisters who don't get along. I admittedly have cradled their dialogue patterns for scenes. ( Its on Amazon prime really really really go watch it its amazing)
---One of my big references for Lily ( and James for that matter) is Paul Thomas Anderson's Licorice Pizza. I think the love story of the two main characters who are at odds against the world really works and its the typical Jily "one is madly in love with the other and does schemes to win her over while she's sarcastic and wary and grows to love him despite it all." Its also the 70s which helps a lot ( for me). I think also Alana Haim's character is a perfect lily as she's someone who is a bit lost despite having everything going for her on paper. I highly reccomend it if you haven't seen it.

I AM GAY FOR UNDERFELL METTATON AND I NEED TO BE FED. PLEASE FEED ME /NF. YOU DONT HAVE TO. I JUST. I GOT SO DESPERATE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO THAT I LOOKED ON QUOTEV. I HAVENT BEEN ON QUITEV IN YEARS.
You came to the right place. I love fell metta very much as well! The lack of content for him is sad. But that's what I'm here for! [When I'm not lazy ofc- jghhgnf] now let's see here, how about some fluff?? It might be a little short due to writers block but i hope you enjoy anyway!
Warnings: none
Did not Proof read
Note: readers nickname for fellmetta is bug/ lovebug I do this for all fanfics I write for him ❤️
Mettafell x reader
🍓Strawberry kisses 💋
You sat on the couch listening to music. It's been a very slow and boring day. ever since metta left this morning for work, it feels like time is going 10× slower. You yawn softly and pick up your phone, and look at your previous text messages from earlier today with mettafell. Even though he was always busy with all the shows, concerts, plays, etc. He always somehow made time to text you little updates or to check up on you. But today, he wasn't texting you as much, feeling a little worried you decided to send him a text asking him how's everything was going. But before you could press, send you hear the front door opening you look over at the door and you see mettafell walk in. You smile and get up and make your way over to him. "Bug! I was just thinking about you! how did work go?" You wrap your arms around him into a loving hug, then look up at him
You immediately knew something was off by the way his face looked. Bug was good at hiding things due to being an actor, but sense you are so close to him, you've gotten good at reading him. You frowned softly. "I guess it was a bad day, huh?.." mettafell gently wraps his lower set of arms around you, returning the affection. "A bad day would be an understatement, darling. Ugh, it was...HORRENDOUS.." He let go of the hug and starts walking to the living room," the monster that I was supposed to be interviewing for my show canceled out at the last minute, someone put stains on my favorite outfit that absolutely won't come out!, There's an advid theft in the resort that keeps stealing expensive merchandise..and I'm not going to even talk about what type of magazine I caught burger pants reading on shift..." He does a robotic sigh and continues talking about his day while grabbing his spare charger by the couch he sits down and plugged himself in. You stayed quiet as you were listening to him and followed him to the living room. He looks over at you and says, "But never mind that darling, I need to charge. I'm very low on power. Give me an hour or two rest, yes?"
You gently sat down by him, watching his still body as he charged. It saddened you that he had a bad day. Maybe there was something you can do to make it a little better? You ponder for a moment before getting up and going into the kitchen with a smile on your face. you knew exactly what to do.
~
Mettafell powers back on. his body makes a soft, humming noise as he looks around, he doesn't see you. He was thinking you were upstairs, but then he hears running water in the kitchen, so he unplug himself and walks over to the kitchen he sees you washing a pan. "Hello darling, what are you getting ready to cook?" He says as he stepped closer to you. You stop washing the pan and turn around to look at him. How did you not hear him walk in? "Oh! Hi bug, I didn't know you were up already, I got you a gift," you said as you walked over to the fridge and took out a tray of chocolate covered strawberries and walked over to him. "I wanted to make you something special since you didn't have a good day. I know strawberries are your favorite, so I hope you like these"
Mettafell looks down at you, then the strawberries. It took him a minute to process this. You made his favorite desert for him. just because he had a bad day??? What?? His internal fans turn on "oh..sweetheart it looks wonderful." His eyes soften as he looks down at you and puts his hand under your chin to make you look up at him. He leans down and kisses your lips softly. You kissed him back, and it all felt like time went still, shortly after mettafell pulls away from the kiss and smiled his toothy fang grin. "Let's share them together, sweetie, we should continue watching those old human horror you were showing me to"
Your face was slightly warm, and you smile "ok love bug, I'll find a movie for us to watch tonight." You walk into the living room, and mettafell follows
You and bug spend the rest of the night sharing the sweet strawberries and watching movies together ❤️

♥︎Always been you (2)♥︎
(Part 2 : Back to you )
A Chris evans x singer!malereader mini fic
Here part 1 !
Warnings : a lot of sadness, flashbacks, hurt feelings, Y/N having the best fans ! Sebastian shipping reader and Chris( still not warning but anyway !)
btw y/n has the same voice as Shawn Mendes because i freacking love his but feel free to pick another singer and also has the same energy and style as Harry Styles because that man is everything !
A/N : so so so sorry for the long wait, ive been overwhelmed with work for my school lately and i have sooo many importants exams so yeah, sorry again !!
---------
y/n's pov third person
Y/n wasn't an idiot, he was many things but naive wasn't one of them. So when David, one of his guitarist, offered him a drink for after their concert tonight, y/n knew exactly what David was referring to.
You see, David had been in love with y/n for years, long before Chris came into his life, so knowing the couple was on the brink was a golden opportunity for David.
Y/n knew it and despite that, couldn't get rid of him like that, the decision wasn't even up to him and moreover, Y/n was careful not to tell him that he was the main reason for the tensions in his couple with the Boston man.
No, he certainly didn't want to give him that joy!
Y/n therefore contented himself with ignoring him and thinking of something more positive, hoping to silence all the negative thoughts that had crossed his mind for 5 months now.
5 long months where he couldn't feel Chris' beard brushing against him while they kissed madly, where he couldn't feel his heart beating every time his lover appeared in the same room as him, of his smelling his body smell after one of their tumultuous sexual activities, leaving them in a most divine state, or simply not being able to catch a glimpse of his beautiful smile and laughter.
He still remembers a joke that had made him and the reaction of his man: "knock knock"
" Who's there ?"
"Who"
"Who who ?
" What are you, an owl ?
Chris laughed while taking hold of his left pectorals and tilting his head back but he quickly regained his senses before looking y/n as if he had done the most monstrous thing in the world.
"How dare you… use my own jokes against me, what a monster you are!
Armed with his strong Boston accent, Chris complained again and again while exaggerating his movements while y/n approached, a teasing smile on his face and wrapped his arms around Chris, this one being 10 centimeters taller than him, and took his gorgeous ass into his hands, causing a small cry in the mouth of Chris who stopped talking immediately and looked in disbelief, y/n who smiled innocently before leaving to their room while rolling his hips.
Y/n knew that his morphology drove his man totally crazy, especially when he used it to achieve his goals.
"So, are you coming sir 'I refuse to share my jokes'? I'll wait for you in the bedroom, hurry up…"
The rest of course being them making love for the rest of the afternoon, leaving them empty of energy for the rest of the evening, and the days to come.
Y/n was now shaking with tears sitting on the floor in his dressing room, he was trying his best to stop but it was so hard! He sincerely thought that he and Chris were meant to end their lives together, he had dreamed of it so much and now he could only do that, dream over and over again, wondering how their lives could have been without this fight.
He didn't have time to lament more than Sebastian rushed into his dressing room and came directly to take him in his arms without asking him any questions.
"Don't worry too much Y/n it'll be fine…I had him on the phone earlier and he's on his way, he'll come to see you and you guys will be able to explain everything together, everything will be like before you'll see!"
Y/n raised his head and was greeted by the devastated gaze of his big brother, sad to see his face flooded with endless tears.
"I send him hundreds of messages…he hasn't even opened them…"
Y/n finished his sentence with a small voice, getting ready to start crying again.
"He's driving, if you want him to come back to you, he better be alive right?"
Sebastian grabbed his brother's chin as he pulled him up and continued, "Listen, I know it might sound easy for me to say this but I think you need to pull yourself together! Your gig is in 2 hours and There are already plenty of people waiting for your arrival! They are just waiting for you and your good mood while you are there depressed…"
"You're right…it is very easy for you to tell me that, it isn't you who has your heart broken into a thousand pieces ! Plus, you're both actors! It's certainly easier since you are used to lying, hiding your feelings, but the only things I excel at are writing and singing…"
Sebastian took a few steps back, a small amused sneer on his face.
" So uhh, to begin with : that's not the job of an actor ! Given the lack of time we are facing, we will have this conversation later ! And precisely ! You are an incredible composer and singer and tonight I don't want you to act like everything is fine because that would be lying to yourself, but express yourself ! Sing until you cry!"
"So...About Chris…are you sure he'll be there..?"
"I can assure you that yes y/n. And to bounce on this story of asset, I may be an actor, I also like to sing!"
Y/n got up from the floor and began to choose the outfit he was going to wear before turning around to get his brother's approval, who gave him a thumbs up and a whistle.
"Everyone knows that you love to sing Seb but it doesn't mean that you KNOW how to sing…" replied Y/n with a small smile on his lips.
"And that doesn't mean that I'm gonna stop, you little jerk!" retorted Seb, throwing a pillow at his brother's face.
"Get out of here! I have to get ready to impress your dear friend"
"You know that even if you dress normally he would still be crazy about you?" Seb asked him while approaching the door of the dressing room
"I know"
Chris' pov third person
Chris was now sure, despite the fact that he loved this city, he didn't want to deal with this kind of situation ever again he was currently facing : traffic jams.
He was even more frustrated because he said to Sebastian that he would be there on time and he wanted on top of that not to disappoint anymore y/n, just thinking about him his heart sank as well as his hands on his steering wheel.
"FUCKING SHIT !" he said, honking his horn with all his might, causing a wave of honking all over the road.
Chris leaned back roughly and sighed, he was at his wit's end, he saw his couple tearing apart in front of his eyes and he couldn't do anything concrete but wait.
So he took his phone and started looking at pictures of y/n and him, happy, and without him noticing, tears were running down his cheeks.
He was very sober now and he had the ability to remember some things, like the time he had organized a surprise birthday party for his lover, but it had all almost gone wrong because of his touchiness. :
Chris had gotten up earlier than usual, just to carry out his plan: today was his boyfriend's birthday and he had planned a party for him in a small group but which will remain unforgettable for the young singer .
Chris therefore prepared himself at the speed of light and went down into the basement of their house, all without making the slightest noise, collected the gift(s) he had collected in advance the day before and left for his brother's house to drop everything off.
He then proceeded to continue the course of his day as if nothing exceptional was brewing in Scott's house.
Chris had all day paid attention to y/n's reactions who seemed really sad that his own boyfriend didn't wish him a "happy birthday", but Chris told himself that it was for a good cause and that of course he might getting scolded a bit but that the evening will end with y/n begging Chris to let him cum.
But what Chris didn't know was that y/n, really saddened by this day given Chris' utter ignorance, decided to spend his day at the first bar that came his way.
It was social media that alerted Chris as he tried to figure out where y/n might be. Lots of photos of him, drunk and on the edge of the abyss, were on different types of social networks and even articles with titles like: y/n l/n, all alone and drunk on his 29th birthday.
The evening ended with Chris picking up y/n from one of his bars and driving him home. All the way the singer was just asking Chris why he hadn't wished him a happy birthday.
"You…you left me rotting like a big jerk Christopher.. Why…why did you do that? Ignoring me like that…"
Chris felt the guilt growing inside him more and more, it was not his intention to upset his lover.
" I'm sorry love…I didn't want…I just wanted to give you a birthday party but don't worry I canceled, we're going to spend the evening together with a good old Disney, just the two of us, OK ?"
And that's what they did, just the two of them, they had fallen asleep on each other, y/n not letting go of Chris and Chris not wanting to anyway.
" I love you my baby "
Chris looked up from his phone, tears streaming down his face and as he continued down the road, his phone rang announcing his best friend's name.
Chris sighed and took the call.
" Halo ?"
"Where the fuck are you, the concert is going to start any moment! Don't tell me you preferred to parade Evans?! I'm warning you-
"How is he doing?"
"Chris where the fuck are you, that's my question!"
"And I just want to know how he is! Please…"
Chris heard Sebastian sigh and he spoke again.
"Bad, he's not well at all, I told him to get back on his feet at least for this evening but I realize that it's easier said than done…he wants to impress you tonight you know…"
"It's not up to him to do it but to me…it's me who must redeem myself!"
"I agree there…well I told y/n that the reason you weren't replying to his messages was because you were driving…if he finds out we're talking WHILE you're driving he's going to kill us both, and you know that he can do it…"
Chris laughed a little bit and refocused on the road which had become much clearer.
"I have my reasons, and before you ask me, it's just that I prefer to talk to him face to face"
"maybe but that's not a reason to totally ghost him, you know?"
"I know"
omniscient pov
"Y/N you come on stage in 3…!"
Y/n felt overwhelmed by his emotions, he had received confirmation from Sebastian that Chris was on his way and maybe even already in the stadium but the singer had great doubts.
" 2...!"
He wasn't sure if he really wanted to have this conversation with the actor, he felt broken both physically and mentally and didn't know how he could manage to get over it.
" 1...!"
He wanted to run away, run away as far as possible because he was afraid that his heart would break even more than it already is. But he knew it, it was essential for him as for Chris, if this one had for goal to give up their couple to go forward.
"Go Y/n to you!"
The singer put on his most fake and beautiful smile and entered the stage while hopping and waving his hands for the audience.
"How are you tonight Boston!!"
Screams that could be heard across the country took place and y/n took his guitar specially made for him and started directly strumming the strings on a tune that his fans had never heard before, and for good reason, it was a new song that he had no intention of recording in the studio but that, given the circumstances, was very appropriate to let his feelings speak.
" OK so now, i'm gonna sing a new song that i've writen times ago and i've just finished writing it soo, here it goes !"
He gave the green light to his team and began to sing
Took you like a shot
Thought that I could chase you with a cold evening
Let a couple years water down how I'm feeling about you
Y/n was standing there, standing on the stage and letting his heart speak
And every time we talk
Every single word builds up to this moment
And I gotta convince myself
I don't want it even though I do
he walked even further to the front of the stage and looked over to the VIP area where he could see his brother and a few of his friends but no sign of Chris, Sebastian confirming that by shaking his head from side to side.
You could break my heart in two
But when it heals, it beats for you
I know it's forward but it's true
Those lyrics were probably the most obvious to everyone, that song was obviously for Chris, but he wasn't even there.
I wanna hold you when I'm not supposed to
When I'm lying close to someone else
You're stuck in my head and I can't get you out of it
If I could do it all again
I know I'd go back to you
But what Y/n didn't know is that Chris was right now in the building trying to enter the room but one of the guards was stopping him because he didn't have of a ticket.
"But you know who the fuck I am?!"
"No sir, the only thing I know is that you don't have a ticket and therefore you can't pass."
The security guard remained calm while Chris got out of his hinges, he hadn't spent more than 2 hours in his car breaking his skull on his steering wheel all that to not get in!
"Do a simple Google search and you'll see! I- please just do this search I MUST get inside! My boyfriend is waiting!!"
The guard didn't have time to answer when another guard appeared and asked what was going on.
"Sir please I have to-"
But Chris was cut off by a scream and a huge smile from the security guard who hastened to add:
"Oh my God! I can't believe it! Ms. Evans! A great honor! My son and I are big fans of your character, Captain America, too! I-! Wow!"
"But what are you doing here? You can't re-enter?! Let's go, I'll escort you to the VIP section!"
Chris didn't even have time to explain the situation before he was pulled into an endless corridor with the inscription Very Important Person on it.
After a long time of walking, going up and down the stairs, they finally arrived at their destination, this moment of walking was still very pleasant for Chris who was able to chat with Dan, the security guard turned out to be one of his biggest fan.
"We've arrived Ms Evans and thanks again for the autographs and the photo!"
"No problem! Thanks again Dan!"
Chris walked back into the room and walked straight to Sebastian who waved at him.
"Finally!! Come and settle down!"
"Where is Y/n?"
Chris looked towards the stage but couldn't find him.
"He's just there, interacting with his fans, we'll never change him!" sneered Seb while shouting and encouraging y/n who was now dancing to 'You're the one that i want'
And it was in an instant, a short but powerful instant that Y/n and Chris had eye contact. Despite the distance between them, they could both feel that warm feeling filling their hearts. Despite their differences, they could finally look each other straight in the eye and understand each other.
Chris asking for forgiveness for everything he put him through and y/n for not trying to understand him enough.
Their exchange although short did not pass through anyone, everyone noticed and shouted, Sebastian first!
"Go find him!" he whispered in her ear
"But I-"
Sebastian took his arm and pushed him out.
" Go. Join. Him. He's just waiting for that, can't you see??!"
" I- Yeah what the hell !
Everyone around him shouted with joy and Chris snuck his way backstage as best he could and that's when he ran into Dan again.
"Dan ! Thank God ! I'll need one last favor…"
"With pleasure Ms. Evans!"

Whumptober 2024 No. 11 - Loneliness
06/10/2018
There were certain places in this mansion where Logan usually didn't expect to see his daughter. Therefore, it took him longer than usual to find the girl after the just as long and fruitless debriefing earlier.
Even when the delicate scent of her favorite shampoo – lily blossom – led his steps to the upper part of the house, he could only be certain when he heard the soft, hesitant sounds of a piano coming from the studio just below the gables. It seemed that his little firebug had been secretly working on something in the last few months that he hadn't been expecting.
Noemi's life was actually too cramped for new hobbies. It was an unusual sight to find her at the old, somewhat out-of-tune piano, of all things, an image that evoked a peculiar kind of pride, the way she was sitting there, highly concentrated, her gaze fixed on her long, slender fingers, the row of keys. Including a small selection of the latter that were moving without a hand hovering over them.
Logan couldn’t help but smile, silently remaining in the doorway with his arms crossed for the moment.
In such moments, a passion emerged in Noemi that he had already loved very much about her mother. And as always, his little redhead wasn't content with just trying something out. She immediately started experimenting with it, and Logan had to admit that the additional sounds generated by her telekinesis didn't sound half-bad. If there had been anyone out there in the world of intolerance and fear who would have been interested in the art of a mutant, the girl would have shone with it at every talent show. At some point, when she would have had more practice and had stopped making so many mistakes.
But these little flaws mixing into the simple, cheerful piece, somehow even calmed him. He didn't need superhuman perfection around him. Supernatural powers had taken the only woman from him he had ever loved in the part of his life he could only remember.
Noemi, naturally, didn't see that quite so chill. After she had done a somewhat more demanding passage incorrectly for the third time, she took her hands off the instrument in frustration and turned to him with an elegant swing on the circular chair, grinning sheepishly. “Harder than it looks. I had a teacher in the Danger Room show me. Sorry, I know you don't like background noise not coming from the TV.”
Logan waved her off, no more than a brief tilt of his head. They didn't need big gestures or words between them. For that, they knew each other far too well, and their mental link worked too well for that, too, in case the use of the latter was necessary, and even that was rare. “Sounded fine to me. You can do whatever you enjoy, redhead. Just because I'm not a fan of noise doesn't mean you have to stop making it.”
It was nice to see her smile; that definitely happened too rarely lately, and she wasn't talking much about what was on her mind right now. Even though Logan didn't like to admit it to himself: Slowly but surely, the kid was starting to spread her metaphorical wings. That was alright. Noemi was no longer 10.
He had taught her as much as he'd been able to, to survive out there. And nothing would ever change about every bastard in this sick world losing a few essential body parts for threatening his daughter. But it was reassuring to know that Noemi would hopefully be able to get by on her own, even if the two of them would no longer spend 24 hours a day together. Still ... He couldn't deny a little melancholy over his almost grown-up, talented daughter no longer needing him half as much as she'd used to. Christ, this house had left its mark; now he actually was getting sentimental. Enough of that for a year or so.
If Noemi had wanted to, they would have talked, sure, but there'd already been enough crap for teenage ears discussed today. If Noemi was looking for a little distance to that in particular with such mush of all things ... There were worse things to endure. Logan didn’t want her to feel, she had to flee her apartment because of something like that.
And since his last Harley, there hadn't been any useful purchase in his household anyway. “You want one?”
Noemi looked both surprised and touched. ”Not worth my laziness, I'm afraid. This does just fine.” Lightly, almost lovingly, she let her fingertips graze the black wood, her gaze wandering through the brightly lit, mirrored room, the large windows, the outdated drums in the corner, an amplifier and microphones that had probably last been used in Kennedy's time ... Creative talent wasn’t something practiced a lot in this house, no, yet Noemi seemed to have fallen in love with this junk for some reason. "There's so much in the air here, you know ...” She looked back at him shyly, probably expecting him to laugh at her, and searched for words when he gestured for her to continue. She started playing again, but this time it was a much calmer piece, with some jazz elements. If he put his natural reluctance aside for a change, he could admit that it sounded beautiful. “In rooms without people, I often feel something like echoes of emotions, of all kinds. I can't explain it. But I like to think that every soul leaves behind tiny traces of its deepest feelings, like a fingerprint. In here ...” She paused, and this time her smile was dreamy. “There have been so many wonderful songs and experiences here in the past. That love, it's like glitter in the air. I'm sorry.” The skepticism must have shown on his tortured grimace. When their eyes met, Noemi laughed brightly, embarrassed. “Romantic, hypothetical nonsense, I know. Let a girl dream.”
Logan suddenly felt the urgent need for a cigar. “This is Scooter's and Cat's dancing room, Red. I try to think about romantic encounters of any kind in here.” He did not mean to; after all, this was still his innocent little girl he was talking to. But his eyes were magically drawn to the old black leather sofa in the corner.
Now it was Noemi who made a face as if she had tasted a lemon. “Don't put images into my head if you don't want them in yours, James.” They exchanged an apologetic smile. Noemi pretended not to have noticed his flinch at her little tease in the shape of his past name, and he tried to suppress the fact that Jean had also loved to call him it when they'd been alone.
“I got enough to do trying not to picture what you're up to when you don't show up at home after dinner. I mean, you have been spending the last few nights at Ororo's again, haven't you?” Only after a few quiet, relaxed minutes, during which Noemi got better and better at this new, catchy song, did she speak up again.
Logan focused on a few deep drags on his cigar before answering. This, too, wasn't exactly a topic he wanted to discuss in detail with his – still underage – daughter. Whenever Ororo had been awake during these last few difficult nights, after this new low blow in Alaska, their conversations had mostly been about work, but his instincts hadn't been able to ignore it either, whenever there had been that slight fragrance of adventure and the desire for shallow satisfaction in the air. There'd been no reason to, either, there rarely was. But that was anyone's business but his old friend's and his. “This thing with Jericho has thrown her off course. In times like these, she sleeps better with company in her apartment.”
“And in her bedroom, right? Come on, like that's a secret.” Unfortunately, his daughter was too curious to be satisfied with an evasive answer. “After all this time, why do you two still make such a mystery out of this whole thing? You like her, and she likes you, right?”
Slightly at a loss, Logan rubbed through his beard. It seemed, he'd been a little too careless about discretion regarding certain convenient things in his private life. He didn't invite people into his bedroom by nature whose scent he couldn’t stomach; therefore, it had been easier, sticking to what worked ever since Ontario Lake. He'd had enough of nameless adventures that had left a bad taste in his mouth for days, in his time on the streets after Weapon X. And his interest in bonds of any kind outside his family and his team had hit rock bottom 18 years ago already. It was simply practical to have someone you didn't need to bring chocolate and beer to get things going and who didn’t expect anything afterward either. Unfortunately, certain people in this house seemed to misunderstand that again and again, even those who should actually know him better. “Would suck if we didn’t, working together in a team and all, yeah.”
Noemi's eyebrow suspiciously lifted in amusement. “Then what? You need help asking her out on a real date for once? I'm not exactly an expert on that myself, but I'm sure Sassy has tips for you.”
Logan sighed. Fine, no excuses then. After all, it wasn't as if his dear offspring lacked certain education, not least thanks to the extensive pedagogy skills of said casual affair in his life. “I don't think much of bullshitting you, Red. That already didn't work so well when you didn't have control over your powers yet. But things between Ororo and I have never been on a level because of which you need to fear having to call someone 'Mom' anytime soon. And neither she nor I have any interest in changing that. Sometimes all you need is a warm body next to you to deal better with all the shit going on out there.”
“Hey, no need to apologize for that ...”
"I'm not. No one in this household is a catholic," Logan replied a hint more cynically than necessary. "Which is better anyway as Alaska has just taught us. To that, Ororo would agree too, just saying."
”Not only to that, I figure." Noemi didn't seem particularly impressed by his sober assessment. "All I wanted to say is: Maybe this whole thing will turn into something more than you think, and then you don't need to be afraid that I'll end up crying in protest on the convenience store aisle. As long as you keep doing what you do at night somewhere where I can't hear, you can say I do for all I care.”
Logan formed a round smoke ring of routine with his lips to have time to think of an appropriate reply. “Is that what you want?” Why didn't all those clever guides that Scott had forced Logan to study after Jean's death, to prepare for his extended teaching duties, get one ready for that kind of conversation?
Then again, Noemi wasn’t like other kids in many regards, and she had never been allowed to learn how important she had been to her actual mother. There was nothing Logan could do to change that; he'd realized that early on, and on many days, that wasn’t easy to stomach. Promptly, Noemi took her hands off the keys so abruptly that they resounded with an ugly, crooked note. The relaxed mood was gone in a flash. Now it was piercing, serious eyes that bore into his, a familiar, beloved touch in his soul that saw through him without pressing him. “What I want is for you to finally stop being lonely, Dad. You've been there for me every day of my life. You stayed here, even though everything reminds you of her, just so I could grow up in a safe environment. Searching for your past, you almost gave up on completely, too. You sacrificed everything for me. Now I want you to be able to enjoy your life again.”
“I'm good, Red.” The dull reply came from his lips before he could regain his composure and think of a better one. What a joke. There hadn't been a day in his life since Jean's last death when he had been good.
“Like you said ... You can't bullshit me.” The piano lid was slammed shut with an ugly cracking sound. This unpleasant point in their conversation, they didn’t reach for the first time; having a similar temperament did that to you. There were far worse things to endure. Tomorrow evening at the latest, over a glass of whiskey and tea, they would laugh about the whole thing ... That was at least what Logan thought until Noemi fully turned his way and all but hatred shining from her eyes hit him in the shape of deep blackness via their link, too. Hatred for Jean. “This will never stop, will it? This is obsession, and you can't even see it.”
“Says the one who goes into battle with nothing but wings on her upper body.”
“I don't take fashion advice from guys in yellow spandex,” Noemi hissed, sounding honestly offended.
“Stretchier. And cheaper to replace if you catch a few bullets or blades every other week. You should give it a try, Red. Saves you from having to telekinetically tug at your top all the time. That's a waste of energy that you will regret at the latest at some point if you get caught up in a nonstop real conflict for days. And the message that you don't give shit about your mother's memory, has come more than across to everyone by now,” Logan added harshly. No, not even one of these teasing and more often than not useful discussions about their work could bring back the loving levity into the conversation, in the face of this one worst topic, which was once more in the air – between them, without either of them wanting it to. Apparently, with these mutant-hating psychos who had offed Jean showing up again, it was time to set a few more things straight without any sugarcoating. “She's a part of me, Noemi. That'll never change. I've never asked anything of you but to accept that.”
An almost scornful snort came from Noemi's aggressively tightened lips. Within seconds, they were back to the point where they would soon be shouting at each other if this went on like this. And even with all his stubborn ignorance, Logan couldn't ignore the sadistic, satisfied chuckle behind his forehead at such moments, right where the link to Noemi was. A chuckle that went right through both their souls, even though they never would have said it out loud for fear of what the answer would be. “That woman has cursed you, Dad. She'll haunt you for another hundred years if you let her.” With her arms crossed tightly, Noemi had leaned back against the piano, her jaw thrust forward, just waiting for a snappy retort so the argument could really begin. So that she could take out her anger and frustration on someone, which in truth was nothing more than sadness and loneliness anyway, radiating off of her lean shape in waves, salt and acid in the air irritating Logan's senses.
Logan swallowed away what he had actually wanted to say. He would not fight with his daughter on Jean's grave, no matter how much Noemi – or maybe someone else – wanted to provoke it. In this regard, he was once again glad about Ororo's support over the years. Being Phoenix' daughter, Noemi had never had it easy, but in this particular aspect, he just couldn't help her. “I don't expect you to understand her, Red. It took me years before I was even remotely able to. I'll let you handle her your way and you do the same, alright?”
For a moment, it looked as if Noemi wasn't going to give in, but then her tense posture collapsed and she closed her eyes as if that would belatedly also have helped hiding the smell of her tears in the air. Nothing would change. As long as the two of them didn't let some invisible person come between them, they could live with it. And that, Logan had always been able to prevent, fortunately, not least thanks to Ororo's support. Now, too, it only took a brief moment to catch her breath before Noemi could smile again, even though it looked a good deal resigned. “I'm sorry. You know I love you, Dad.” He only had to reach out his hand a little her way and she was already wrapping her arms around his neck, wiping the small traces of her sadness on his shirt and clinging to him for long seconds until her breathing had calmed down for good.
And he held her tight, as he always did, with the same deep, unconditional affection that he had once felt for her mother, which flowed between them like a warm, spicy gust of wind. Which accompanied the close, comforting and reconciling touch, without him having to say anything that he had rarely uttered in his life. Noemi knew anyway, or at least he hoped so. He startled as much as she did when she suddenly backed away and followed her glance to the window questioningly, to the beginning darkness outside.
“I feel something ...” she murmured absently. ”Can you wait a second? I'll be right back.”
“Nonsense.” Smiling, Logan brushed back a few of her wild curls and released her with a quick kiss on her forehead. ”Take your time. You don't have to keep a bitter old man company every night.”
Maybe Noemi had secretly read his mind a little earlier after all, or he really needed to learn to control his face again. She didn't smile back. She suddenly looked as serious as he had rarely seen her, even when dealing with her team. Her fingertips dug almost painfully into his shoulders. The unbroken determination, the fighting spirit in her eyes held his gaze, as if she were fixating it telekinetically. “I'll always come back to you, Dad. Me, you're not gonna lose.”
Logan shook himself a little to get rid of the sudden gloom in his soul. Not today, not after they'd almost already come to blows a minute ago. He nodded outside, sending Noemi to whatever it was that had caught her mental eye. He had a vague idea what it was, and for that, she wouldn't need his help. For one day, she had been reminded of her difficult fate often enough. Distraction was the best medicine for that. “Go.”

The shield that you own - 2 -
*
After stepping out of the shower, Jack dried himself roughly, tied the towel around his hips and went to the desk at the window to have a look on his phone if something had occurred and he was needed. But only a message from his little sister Sarah blinked.
I saw you pining over him. Shouldn't you be watching the fans instead?
Although Jack was aware that it wasn't good if anyone looking could see his feelings for Tim and that he should urgently admonish himself to restrain his reactions on the red carpet, he had to smile. He liked Sarah's dry remarks. Ever since he started working for Tim regularly, she had been his constant critical commentator. His CCC, as he had taken to calling her.
He looked at the "evidence photos and videos" from the premiere in Mexico city that Sarah had sent along.
Tim had been given a wrestling mask by a fan, tried it on straight away and posed with it. It was adorable. What was he supposed to do? How could you not smile at that?
In another photo in a different situation, however, it was not quite as clear how he could talk his way out of it.
Jack sighed and scrolled up to Sarah's last message, a few days earlier, which he hadn't replied to either.
LOL Are you his minion now, his boom box carrier? Was that part of your training too?
A picture showed him walking next to Tim carrying Tim's boom box on their way to the Jimmy Kimmel studio. Loud music was Tim's constant companion in cars and dressing rooms. Jack found it endearing, and he didn’t think it was a big deal that he was the one carrying the box, it was part of his job.
But Sarah declined to see these things, instead warned him to let himself be exploited. Although she was the little sister, she saw it as her job to mentally protect her big brother, who in her opinion was ‘far too nice for this world’.
Jack knew she meant it well. In the end it was kind of funny because she was basically the reason why Jack had become a bodyguard. Because he had always protected her.
As a teen, Sarah had taken just as much pleasure in being rebellious as now, which had gotten her into trouble more than once.
When Jack, as her 10-year-old older brother, had first been involuntarily instructed by their mother to look after her, he had quickly realized that he enjoyed it. He had realized that he was good at it, protecting someone, staying calm in troubled and difficult situations. Staying firm. And taking action when necessary.
Today, Sarah was still too rebellious to not getting into trouble, but by now she was old enough and had learned to look after herself.
Jack looked out of his hotel room window over the rooftops of Paris in the afternoon sun.
The next premiere was coming up.
The morning had gone well, the cast had had fun with their interviews. They would make good publicity.
Tim was always a bit different in Paris. Somehow more Frenchy, Jack would say and Tim would laugh at him for that.
But it was true, Tim spoke more elegantly in Paris. His lips and tongue adapted to the flattering language, but he also expressed himself more selectively in English.
He also dressed more elegantly. Jack was curious about Tim's outfit for tonight and he was looking forward to the evening.
Only Tim's flirting with Austin was a thorn in his side. Although he knew it shouldn’t.
He liked Austin. He got on well with him.
In a perfidious way, he even liked it when Tim flirted with him. Because Tim laughed a lot then and looked happy. And that was the most important thing, wasn't it?
He knew Sarah would hate him for that attitude. "Please for fucking once think about yourself!" she would say.
But he was who he was. And after all, this was also a reason why he was doing his job well, right? So why should he change?
The vibrating of his cell phone snapped him out of his thoughts.
Tim. He had sent him a photo of a silver designer breastplate lying in a fashion box. Underneath:
Look at thaaaat! Tonight, I'm going to have two shields! ;)
Jack smiled, sent a little knight emoji and looked at his watch.
Pick you up in 20!
*
Tim looked beautiful with this shield on his chest that reflected the colors of his surroundings. Over it he wore an elegant suit which emphasized his slender figure. Jack found even more opportunities than usual to touch him, happy for every turn they had to make so that he could gently point him in the right direction. Tim was laughing a lot that night, Tim was beaming a lot that night, Tim was flirting with Austin a lot that night. Jack was already familiar with Tim's flirting. On the Wonka promo tour he had made Hugh Grant all fuzzy with it, but now with Austin... it was more physical, also more put-on somehow. Jack could see that they really liked each other, but they were also putting on a show for the fans for sure. In the end they were both professionals.
Which didn't really make it any easier for Jack, because he knew Tim liked to lose himself in the game sometimes. He knew he shouldn't care. He didn't want to be jealous, it was totally inappropriate to be jealous. They had no relationship, no commitments.
But still... After the premiere party, they went to their hotel and parted from the others. Jack was so busy hugging everyone that he didn't notice Tim saying goodbye to Austin. Outside Tim's hotel room, just before Jack wanted to say goodnight to Tim, Tim leaned lasciviously against the door frame, no longer wearing the shield, his bare chest so inviting, his eyes as dark as they were demanding and purred with a wicked grin, "Austin let me suck his cock today, do you want to punish me for it?" And that's when Jack realized that his shield was also already down again. He couldn't think as quickly as his hand buried itself deep in Tim's curls and his body pressed Tim against the door, causing Tim to groan with excitement. Tim loved to be taken hard and Jack loved to make Tim happy. A few moments later they were already naked on the bed and he rammed into Tim as he gripped his hips, fucked him hard from behind as his hands clamped around Tim's neck, and when Tim was about to come, he held Tim’s mouth shut, the stifled scream making both their bodies tremble with ecstasy.
Exhausted and satisfied they fell on the bed. It wasn't the first time they'd had rough sex like this. The night before the Golden Globes, he had received a message from Tim to visit him at home. When he complied with the request, he realized that Tim had more sex stuff than Jack knew what to do with. But unlike here in Paris, that night hadn't been about fun. Tim had needed something else that night. A binding. A binding by limitation. Tim had been lost, upset, in despair. In layman's terms, Jack would say not far from a panic attack. Tim needed someone to put him in his place again. So Jack had tried to help, had done as well as he could. Had set him limits, tied him up, held him down, fucked him while Tim's body writhed and Tim's moans released what there was to release. Even though it was the sex that had felt most distant from himself to Jack, it had been the most emotional he'd ever had. Seeing Tim like that, seeing how much he needed that, his body to be restricted, to be able to be in the end completely himself again.... It had moved him deeply.
Now Tim lay beside him in bed, sleeping and breathing peacefully, recovering from an exhausting day and Jack allowed himself to run his fingers lightly over his slender body. However harsh he had been to Tim, Jack could never have hurt him. Over the years, he'd seen the marks on Tim's body. Reserved for someone else. No matter how proudly Tim wore those marks, the sight of them only made Jack want to protect him even more. And no matter how much more familiar they had been after this evening before the Golden Globes, the marks from someone else always showed him clearly that in the end he wasn't the one Tim needed... **

MY THOUGHTS ON THE MANDALORIAN - Chapter 17 "The Apostate"
I can't believe the wait is over! I got up even earlier than I've been doing since TBB started so I could watch both shows before starting my day, but it was so worthy cutting my sleep short. The premiere was incredible and sets up nicely what we'll see this season. My favorite dad-son duo is back and I'm beyond happy about it.
Reactions and thoughts below the cut
This is a flashback? Don't tell me this is when Din took the creed, bc I'm dead if it is.
Oh kark!!! What's that?!! A mega crocodile?!!! Wtf?!!! (I wish this would've been a mythosaur instead. I'm still holding hope to see one, even if the chances are low)
The armorer is badass as always
Paz!! (He's been a jerk to Din in the past but I love him anyway)
Oh! Din in the N1!! So it's NOT a flashback (but I know the confusion is intentional) Din saving the day is awesome. The Mand'alor to the rescue, even if most of those mandos don't know that he's their leader.
Now, that I know this is the present day, my question is where all those Mandalorians came from, because the covert has GROWN. I mean, last time we saw them, it was just Paz and the armorer (well, supposedly it has been like a year since so, they had time to gather the people)
Also, I noticed this in a rewatch (yes, I've rewatched it like 3 times already) If the Living Waters are so important, why can younglings be baptized (because that's what it is) in any body of water? Couldn't Din do the same to be redeemed? I mean, it's like crazy to me that this kid is taking the creed in some lake in a backwater planet, and Din has to go to Mandalore to do basically the same thing. I guess it's to show his genuine commitment, but it's just stupid.
The only good thing about the mega turtle/armored crocodile's attack is that they have plenty of meat to eat 🤣
Grogu being a cutie pie peeking up in his bubble in the N1 to say hi... adorable!! 🥰🥰🥰
Ugh! I hate that the Armorer start with the same old narrow-minded speech and rejecting Din. Go kark yourself, Armorer! Din doesn't need any of you. This is the second time you speak about Din taking the helmet off, and you don't ask why he did it. That should count for something.
Oooh! Where did you find that?? 😆 With Jawas, of course. Din's new BFFs.
I'm convinced that the Armorer was going to take back her words and say there's no a way for Din to redeem himself, but one look at Grogu is enough to cave in. The baby totally convinced the armorer there.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!! Purrgils?!!! Is that a purrgil? Omg !!! A purrgil!!!!!!! A purrgil!!!!! (As a Rebels fan this makes me sooooooooooooo happy)
Grogu cuddling with Din to sleep is the cutest thing ever, and I've been saying since season 2 started that it has happened many times before, I think since Din put that little hammock for Grogu to sleep in his sleeping space in the Razor Crest. I don't think Grogu missed the opportunity to cuddle when all he had to do was get off the hammock. AND in chapter 10, he also cuddled to sleep next to Din under his cape, and Din didn't bat an eyelash about it, a proof that it wasn't something new.
Of course he's visiting Nevarro. I knew that from the trailers.
Din remembering Ig-11 💚💚💚
😂😂😂😂 Grogu spinning the chair. I love this so much because it shows that Grogu is still a baby. But it also shows that he's matured a bit. I compare this with what a 3-4 year old would do (even if Grogu doesn't quite behave like a human child of that age in other areas like speech). I remember doing exactly that (well, no with the force) when I was that age and my dad took me to his job. In comparison, Grogu touching buttons in season 1 is a very baby-beginning-to-walk/crawl-like behavior, testing boundaries of what he can or cannot do and almost as a game. While in season 2, grabbing his toy, his shinny knob, and take with him when as he leaves the ship (like in chapter 13) is a behavior seen in 2-3 year olds (and older obvs). So despite his cute demeanor, Grogu has grown.
😂😂😂😂 Greef not caring about Grogu's name. We've been there. Don't worry, it grows on you.
So funny how Karga gets all 😠 if others don't say his title properly. High magistrate!
Oh, trouble! Pirates. The nitkos, yep, big trouble.
What are you doing Din? You're going to kill me, leaning that way against the tree. Have mercy!
Yeah, that's gonna bite you in the ass later, Karga, and Din will need to come back and help you with a group of mandos.
Aha!! Yes! Cara's absence explained. There it goes, a square on my bingo card 😊
What? Ig11? But I need someone to explain to me how IG-11's torso and head are intact when the explosive he had for self-destruction was on his chest??!!!
Awwww, gawd!! You're killing me with feels here, Din! He's the only droid you trust 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭
I like Din is showing his skills here (and they're using the same music of when Kuiil reprogrammed him 😢) But what if IG-11 wakes up with the old programming??
Here we go!
I knew it, I knew it!!! Aaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!! NOOoooooo!!!
Din tossing Grogu at Karga like a ball 😆
Kill the droid already!! Why is it so hard now when it took just one bolt last time?! Crushing it also works, I guess.
The anzellans!!!
Awww, he's your friend!! Din!!! 😭😭😭😭😭
Din's look when Karga keep translating for him. Priceless!
Grogu squeezing the anzellan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and Din using his name, and being in Dad mode activated "Sorry about that, he's young." 🤣
Awwww Din teaching his son, and Grogu paying attention. Aaaaaahhh this is too cute!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 They could make the show only about this and I'd be happy.
Ugh! Pirates again!
Hehehe! Grogu strapping in with Din's bandolier is perfect.
Oh! so that's the dogfight in the asteroid field. I thought we'd see this in a later episode. But i LOVE the music!! Joseph Sherley did an amazing job scoring this!
Gorian Shard is basically Davey Jones in space??? So this is who is going to wreck Nevarro 😠
Kelevala. This where Bo-Katan is.
Where the pram comes from? I mean, there's no much cargo space in the N1. I guess it's detachable from the ship, and it's where Grogu sits when he’s in his bubble.
Ugh, Bo! So why are you so hypocritical? You speak of how the Children of the Watch and other factions (like DEAD WATCH perhaps?!!) fractured mandalorian society. Girl, YOU were in one of those factions. Like seriously? Did you forget that you helped to dethrone YOUR sister (which led to her murder)? Excuse me for my lack of sympathy for you because people left you because you couldn't take the Darksaber back. Be as passive agressive and hypocritical as you want but that won't make you a better leader. Honestly, i think mandalorians will be better off if you're nowhere near a position of power.
Altho, you've been graciously informative, but I know there's a catch somewhere, and this won't be the last time we see you.
Nooooooo why did it have to end? Why I have to wait a week?!!!
Yay!!! They put Brendan's and Lateef's names in the credits as co-stars!! Well deserved and long overdue.
If the length of this review is of any indication, I enjoyed this episode immensely. I think it sets things for the rest of the season very nicely, and I'm very excited to see how everything plays out.

Heyo! I'm a REALLY REALLY REALLY! Big fan of angst and your works, so I have a suggestion! So like, in this au Bakugou and Y/N are aged up and they have a daughter (let's just say her name is either Katsumi or Kirumi). So, the child is 4 years old and she didn't get her quirk yet. Let's just say Bakugou got drunk when his friends dragged him to a bar and this woman decided to hit him up and let's just say he cheated- so Y/N found out because kiri just had to tell her because it wasn't manly at all for him to keep a secret and Y/N left him with his child and boom! Bad ending. Please tag me in this one tyy!
Bet.
(Changed it up the slightest bit to make Katsumi remember bc I kinda wanna do a part 2 for this)
Nobody to Blame but Yourself - Bakugou Katsuki
Bakugou x f!reader
Warnings: ANGST, cursing, cheating, alcohol consumption
BAKUGOU’S MASTERLIST
Pt.1 Pt.2
You have a small, beautiful family. Your loving husband, Katsuki and your adorable daughter, 5 year old Katsumi.
Katsumi was your precious baby girl. She had Katsuki’s ash blonde hair with your silky smooth hair texture. She had your E/C eyes and Katsuki’s porcelain skin. She had Katsuki’s bravery and boldness along with your kindness and compassion. She was a perfect mix of you both.
Y/N and Katsuki have been together ever since their childhood. Their families were close and they grew up together. Katsuki always swore to protect his princess. They got together in their junior year and about 5 years after they graduated from UA high, Katsuki proposed.
—
—
“Be back soon, okay Suki?” You sweetly said to your husband as he got closer to the door. He pulled you in with a smile and pecked your cheek.
“Yeah, yeah Teddy Bear. I’ll probably be back sooner than you think, don’t even wanna go with those losers.” He complained with a strained face. You giggled at his expression and went on.
“Those losers have been your best friends since high school. You love them. You know you do,” you teased. “Besides, you haven’t spent some time with them in forever.”
“Yeah Y/N. I’m a husband and a dad. I don’t need to be around my friends, I need to be with my family.” He exclaimed with a playful voice.
“Well your family will still be here when you get back. Just as long as you always come back to us too.” You said with a wink.
“Always will Teddy Bear.” He said holding you tight. He held you close until you both heard the little pitter patter of feet running to the front door. You both looked down and saw your daughter in her pjs and watched as she jumped onto Katsuki.
“Be back soon daddy!” She said with a squeal. Katsumi was definitely a daddy’s girl. Her and her father were attached at the hip the second she was born. They were best friends and you loved their father-daughter dynamic.
“Katsumi, you’re supposed to be sleeping, love.” You said with a chuckled as you held her tiny hand while Katsuki picked her up in his arms.
“I wanted to say bye to daddy before he went to see uncle Kiri! And uncle Denki and uncle Sero and Auntie Mina!” She said and watched as you and Bakugou lip synced to her voice as she said the Bakusquad’s names. She laughed at her parent’s teasing as Katsuki assaulted her in kisses.
“That’s sweet baby bear. Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon. So get to bed you brat,” Bakugou said as he placed his daughter down and ruffled her hair. Others would look down on the rough treatment but you knew Katsumi never took it seriously. She always laughed and played back with Katsuki whenever he put on his ‘mean guy act.’
“M’kay.” Katsuki bent down to kiss her cheek and you followed doing the same action before Katsumi ran back off to her room. You and Katsuki said bye to each other after Katsuki gave you a loving kiss. He walked out the door to meet with his friends as he knew he was in for a long night.
It would soon shock him to see how true that statement would be.
—
The night was going well. Katsuki left around 8:30 and he said he would be back sooner than you thought so considering he was now a family man, you thought he’d be back by midnight. However, you woke up in the middle of the night and saw it was 3 in the morning...and he still wasn’t home. You were starting to get worried now.
If this was back in your earlier years of marriage, you’d say this was okay. Not great but okay, except now, Katsuki has responsibilities and promises that he vowed to keep. He should’ve been home a long time ago. Where was he? You stayed up deciding to sit and wait for him to come home and after almost 2 hours, your phone rang.
You picked it up quickly with a little bit of fear and anger sitting in your stomach. You didn’t even bother to check who it was so when you heard the voice of your husband’s best friend instead of Katsuki, you grew concerned.
“Katsuki! Where are you?!” You asked with worry as you slightly shouted into the phone.
“Hey Y/N..... It’s Kirishima. Umm...I have something to tell you.” He said with sadness detected in his voice.
“Kiri? Is everything alright? Wheres Katsuki?” You asked.
“I’m so sorry Y/N...”
Listening to the red head’s voice made your eyes pop. Your body trembled and tears began to pool in your eyes as you shook your head in denial. Katsuki loved you. You both had a daughter! A family! He would never....he wouldn’t....right? After talking to your friend for some time and getting the crucial information you needed, you made up your mind on what you had to do.
“T-Thank you, Kirishima. Goodnight.” You said into the phone with a hiccup.
“I’m sorry Y/N. You don’t deserve this. You and Katsumi....goodnight.” He said and hung up the phone. You placed it down and sat in silence for a moment. After about a minute, you broke down again and cried into your hands. You sobbed as tears flowed down your cheeks. Rivers of heartbreak and anger streamed down your face as you cried the night away.
Well..you couldn’t cry all night. Katsuki would probably be back in the morning and you had plans. You’d have to save your tears for later. You looked at the time.
4:18 a.m.
You set your alarm for 6 and went back to bed. The whole night, all you could think about was your precious baby girl. This was going to break her little heart. Instead of crying over your husband’s betrayal, you wept for your daughter’s future without her best friend. Eventually you cried yourself to sleep and the sun rose in time.
—
10:00 a.m
Katsuki opened his eyes to the alarm on the nightstand. He yawned a bit before adjusting his eyes to morning light. The more he looked at the stand, the more he realized he didn’t recognize it. Nor the alarm clock. He looked around and noticed he wasn’t in his bedroom. Katsuki shot up and sat on the bed and looked down to notice he was completely undressed. He looked to the side and saw some random woman. A complete stranger who was also naked in bed with him. His heart grew rapid as his eyes grew frantic.
“No, no, no, no, no, no this can’t be happening..this can’t be happening!” Katsuki said as his hands found way to his hair as he tugged on the blonde locks. The woman next to him awoken to his shuffling and smiled up at him. She placed her hand on his bare chest and cuddled in close to him as she sighed in content.
“G’morning handsome. Had a fun night?” She teased, reminding him of his affair and unloyal actions.
“Get the fuck off me!” He said as he jumped out of bed and found his pants. He pulled them on and continued to scream. “What the fuck is wrong with you?! The hell did you do to me you fucking slut?”
“What’re you talking about? And who the fuck are you calling a slut?” The woman said with sass.
“Just tell me where I am!” Katsuki demanded.
“A hotel! You know, the hotel you dragged me to so you could get your dick wet.” She said as she sat up from the bed but still covered herself with the blanket.
“Why the fuck would I do that?!” He screamed.
“You tell me. All I know is that I saw you in that bar, you drank a hell of a lot with your friends, I came up to you and flirted with you, you flirted back, we shared a few more drinks, and you dragged me here. I mean, I consented of course but still.” The stranger explained. Bakugou shook as he looked around in a frenzy. “Anyway, round 2?”
“You fucking bitch, I have a wife!” He screamed at her as he got himself dressed.
“Heh, wow. Well when your wife leaves you after she finds out you cheated, give me a call.” The woman said as she layed back down on the bed. Katsuki seethed at her as he squinted his eyes in disgust.
“You shameless slut. Like hell I will! And Y/N’s not gonna leave me! She loves me! And I love her-“
“Sure didn’t seem like it last night~” the woman said. Bakugou had enough and blasted the bed she was on with his quirk before cussing her out and leaving her there. He quickly ran out the hotel and found his car. He hopped inside and started it as he quickly sped off home.
“Shit!” Bakugou screamed at himself. How could he do that?! How could he cheat on you?! You were his everything! You and Katsumi! His two girls were his entire world! And he betrayed the both of you by doing this. He could only hope that you wouldn’t find out. He can’t tell you what he did. He would lose you! He can’t lost you! This whole thing just has to pass over and things will be fine. Right? Well something didn’t sit right with him as he inched closer and closer to his house.
—
When the 6 o’clock alarm rang, you woke up, ready for the day to begin and the drama to unfold. You were quick to get yourself ready. Brush your teeth, shower, get dressed, a little makeup, and you packed your important belongings and your clothes. Everything else would be replaceable. You put on a pair of shoes and put the rest in the large suitcase you had.
You made a quick call to Mina, assuming she already knew what happened. You asked if you could drop Katsumi off for some time and she of course said yes. After saying ‘thank you,’ you brought all your bags into your car and went back inside to get your daughter.
You walked into your daughter’s bedroom to see her sleeping peacefully. Next to her bed, a framed picture of your once happy family. It was Katsumi’s 4th birthday and she didn’t want to spend it with anybody else except for Mommy and Daddy. Now, you were gonna have to take someone out the picture. You shook your daughter awake and watched as she opened her beautiful E/C eyes that resembled your own.
“Katsumi..hey baby, wake up.” You softly said with a reassuring smile to not alarm her. You watched as she rubbed her eyes with her tiny fist and looked up at you.
“Mommy? What’s going on?” She asked as she looked around in a daze.
“You’re gonna have a little play date at Auntie Mina and Uncle Kiri’s house. Uncle Denki and Uncle Sero will be there too! You excited?” You asked with enthusiasm to hide your pain.
“Really Mommy?!” Your daughter asked with excitement.
“Mhm! Get ready and get dressed for Mommy. They’ll be here at 8, okay?” You said rubbing your daughter’s back before she quickly jumped out of bed and into her own bathroom.
“Okay Mommy!” She said as she ran into the bathroom, turning on the sink to begin her morning routine. Some time passed and Katsumi got dressed and you went back in her room to help her dry her hair. You helped her put on her shoes and by the time they were on, Mina and Kiri were already at the door.
You opened it with a soft smile and the couple looked at you with supportive, sad eyes. “Hey guys..”
“It’s okay to be sad Y/N, we’re here for you.” Mina said. Your eyes teared up at her words but you shook your head and gave her a hug.
“Thank you, but I promise myself I wouldn’t cry. At least, not when Katsumi’s around. I gotta be strong for her. Her whole life’s about to change after all.” You sadly said as you looked down and released your hold on Mina. Your pink friend nodded before walking into the house to find Katsumi in her bedroom. You and Kirishima stayed at the door and talked a bit more.
“I’m so sorry for all of this Y/N. I should’ve been watching him more.” Kirishima said as he looked down in sorrow.
“Kiri, you shouldn’t have to watch him. He cheated and that was his choice. Your choice was being a true friend and telling me. A true man,” you joked. You both gave a little bittersweet laugh before calming down again. “Thank you so much Kirishima.”
The red head did nothing but pull you in for a tight hug. You almost cried on his shoulder before your daughter came to the both of you. “Uncle Kiri!”
You both separated and looked down at the excited 5 year old. She jumped onto her uncle and he happily held her in his arms. “Hey squirt. Ready for a day full of fun?”
“Mhm!” Katsumi replied. You all talked some more before Katsumi said her goodbye to you and went off with Kirishima and Mina. You shut the door and took a break as you allowed a few silent tears to drop. You wiped them away and went to pack your daughter’s bags. Just a few more hours and he’d be home..probably. All you knew was that you’d have to face him eventually.
Finally, you finished packing your daughter’s things and placed them in your car. You put on a jacket and waited for Katsuki to walk through the doors. Soon, this perfect little family would go crumbling to the ground.
—
Katsuki pulled into his driveway and his eyes took notice of your car still there. He smiled at the sight and quickly got out of the car. He slammed the vehicle door shut and ran to the entrance. He unlocked the door in a rush and to say he was happy to see you on the couch, still there, was an understatement.
“Y/N! Hey Teddy Bear! I am so sorry!” He said as he ran to you and sat down next to you on the couch, pulling you in for a tight hug. He was too happy to even notice your jacket and shoes that you wore.
“Katsuki, you were gone all night. Where were you?” You said in a soft voice as you placed your hand on his chest so you could face him.
“I-..I overdid it and spent the night at Kirishima’s. I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you, love. I was passed out the whole night.” He said and attempted to pull you in again but you pressed a hand to his chest to stop him. You couldn’t believe he was going to lie to you. Actually, now that you think about it, cheating wasn’t below him so why would lying be either?
“So why didn’t Kirishima call me? Or Mina?” You questioned. Unfortunately, you underestimated Katsuki’s quick tongue. He was a good liar, and if you hadn’t already known the truth, you’d probably believe him.
“Shitty hair’s phone died and Alien girl was asleep by the time we got back. By the time he put me in the guest bed, I knocked out so don’t asked me what happened after.” He said. Your anger and fury grew at his lies but he didn’t notice. “Look, I’m so sorry I came back so late but I can make it up to you Teddy Bear. Now would you just give me a hu-“
“SHUT! UP!” You screamed as you pushed him off of you. You stood up from the couch and Bakugou watched you in “confusion.” Bakugou felt his heart racing as he had a guess at why you were so mad but he refused to believe it.
“T-Teddy Bear, whats wrong?” He asked with shaky hands as he tried to reach out to you but you dodged all his attempts.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?! You’re fucking lying to me! You’re lying to me after doing what you did! Katsuki, are you just gonna act like you don’t know what you did?! Because I know! So why don’t you?!” You screamed at him. Bakugou still couldn’t believe you knew so he tried his soft attempts once more and reached out to you again.
“Baby, please calm dow-“
“Are you fucking serious Katsuki? You’re gonna tell me to calm down?!” You laughed out in disbelief. You watched as Katsuki’s lip began to tremble and he looked down in shame. “Say it.”
“What?” He spoke softly.
“Say what you did.”
“......”
“Say it Katsuki! Tell me what you did and how you betrayed not only me but your daughter too.” You specified. It took Bakugou a second before he spoke up in a soft, quiet voice.
“I cheated on you...”
“Louder.”
“I cheated on you!” He said while standing up and facing you with tears in his eyes. “I cheated on you! Okay?! I got drunk last night and slept with someone else but baby I swear I didn’t mean it!” He said as he walked to you and tried to hold you. You once again pushed his hands away before speaking back.
“It doesn’t matter if you meant it or not Katsuki! You still did it!” Your voice grew dry as it began to break. Your eyes pooled with tears as you continued. “I would’ve NEVER done that to you. I wouldn’t even be CAPABLE of doing that to you Katsuki! Because I love you!”
“I love you Y/N! I swear I do!” He fought back but you retaliated.
“It doesn’t seem like it! Because you slept with someone else! You promised me you would never hurt me. You promised you would always protect me. You promised me that you loved me and only me! Not only that but you promised your daughter that you would never bring harm to her! Guess what?! You’re the reason her whole life is going to be so fucked Katsuki! Do you realize that?!” You screamed at him.
“I do, Teddy Bear, I do!” He said.
“Don’t fucking call me that Katsuki!” You said with an exasperated voice. Bakugou shook his head as he walked to you and kneeled infront of you.
“Baby, please! I’m sorry! I was drunk, it didn’t mean anything! It was a mistake but if we can forget about this I promise I’ll make it up to you!” He begged.
“Forget? Forget?! Are you insane?! I’m never gonna be able to forget any of this Katsuki. How the hell am I supposed to forget that my first friend, my first love, my first kiss, my first everything betrayed me like this! How am I supposed to forget that my husband, who I’ve known since we were fucking babies, cheated on me?! Tell me!” You said as the tears finally fell.
“I don’t know...I don’t know but I promise I can make it up to you! So please forgive me! Please stay!” He pleaded. The whole time he couldn’t let go of you. Every time you pushed him off, he just came right back.
“How am I supposed to trust that you’ll actually keep that promise?” You said softly with a sad voice. “If it wasn’t clear already, I’m not staying. We’re getting a divorce, Katsuki.”
Bakugou felt his heart shatter. He looked at you with his trembling body and shaky irises. “W-What?”
“Katsuki...you cheated. There’s no other way around it. No explanations or excuses. And you can’t even blame it on the alcohol because I’ve been blackout drunk before too and the idea of cheating on you never even crossed my mind. You have nobody to blame but yourself.” You said with a broken voice and a shrug. “We’re getting a divorce and I’m taking Katsumi with me.” You said and began to walk to the door.
Bakugou couldn’t believe what he just heard and so he got up from his knees and ran after you. He ran in front of you and held you by the shoulders. “What?! No! Baby!! Please, that’s my daughter! You can’t just take her from me, please!”
“I won’t be taking her from you,” you said and pushed his hands off your shoulders. “We can co-parent, but when she’s old enough, when Katsumi asks why we’re no longer together, I’ll be telling her the truth. So you can still see her, but when she’s ready to know, if she decides she hates you and doesn’t want to see you ever again, then you’ll have to accept it.”
At this point, Katsuki began to openly cry as he allowed his fat tears to flow down his face. Hiccups left his mouth as he shamelessly sobbed infront of you. “Y-Y/N....please don’t go. You guys are my family, you’re both my entire world..I-I love you both so much,” he said and went in to grab your hand, which you allowed. “I know I hurt you both a-and I know I fucked up, but please just give me another chance. I swear this was just a mistake, I never meant to do it. Please stay...please let me fix my mistake. I love you.”
Tears once again filled your eyes but you didn’t allow them to flow. “.....I love you too Katsuki,” at those words, Bakugou felt a bit of hope. “But I just can’t stay with you. If it was just me..I probably would give you another chance..but Katsumi is your daughter Katsuki. She’s your own flesh and blood and you betrayed her. You’re supposed to be her hero and you betrayed her like this. I just can’t trust the fact that you won’t do something like this again, and not just for my sake but for our daughter’s too. I’m sorry, but this is where we end.”
Once you said that you walked away from Bakugou, leaving him in shock. He stood there, regretting everything. Not just his mistake, but all the times where he could’ve been a better husband.
‘I should’ve held her more..I should’ve been home more...I should’ve been more for them,’ he thought until he heard the door open and slam shut. He turned to face it and looked around the now very empty house. He allowed silent tears to drip down his face and then he took a little tour of his new environment.
He walked to the master bedroom and saw all your belongings gone. He saw your closet was empty, all your shoes gone. He went into the bathroom and saw all your stuff was missing. The tears flowed faster and when he walked into his daughter’s room, it made it 10x worse.
He opened the door to the pink room and saw her bedsheets missing, all her toys gone, her closet was barren, and her bathroom was hollow. He walked back out to his little girl’s former bed and sat down. He cried on the bed and sobbed into his hands. He broke down as he thought back to your words. You were right.
‘You have nobody to blame but yourself.’
Katsuki looked up from his hands and when he did, he took notice of the picture frame that was left faced down on the night stand. He picked it up and his heart turned to dust. It couldn’t break anymore. He looked at the picture of his once happy family. His beautiful wife, his blessing of a daughter. His two girls who had a protector...that protector was supposed to be him...and he failed. He smiled at the picture but continued to cry. It was a beautiful sight but you left it behind.
He took the picture with him as he walked to his bedroom. He sat on the bed and held the frame close to his chest as he layed down on the cold mattress. Tears still freely fell as a shadow casted over his eyes. No words could be said except for a few.
“N-Nobody to blame but myself.”

Jealous boyfriend Sehun!
Genre: fluff with a very little hint of angst
Note: Hello!! I'm back with a new content. I've had this story in my mind for a while now but I haven't had the time to write it. Hope y'all will like it. Any similarity with other stories is purely coincidental. Enjoy reading! ♡
▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪
It was one of those early mornings that you woke up hearing voices of other people in your house. You turned around to look at the guy beside you who was embracing your waist. Sehun was still peacefully asleep. You smiled as you brushed some of the frills of his hair and kissed the tip of his nose oh so lightly so not to disturb him before getting up from bed.
You washed up before going downstairs to check and see who your early visitors were. You then saw Jaehyun, Mark, and Johnny with your brother fussing over something in the kitchen. These guys had been friends with both of your siblings for more than 5 years now and along those years, you became close to them too. Having them around the house before 7 in the morning is nothing new anymore.
Mark looked over your way when he noticed you, "Morning, y/n!" and the rest of the guys started greeting you too.
"Good morning, guys! What's brewing?" you chuckled.
"That's actually the problem. We can't decide," Johnny laughed.
"Okay hang on. I'm gonna help," you said as you laughed at how these guys were really having a hard time thinking of what to cook for breakfast.
You suggested to have a simple breakfast -- garlic fried rice, scrambled eggs, hotdogs and sausages, corned beef, hashbrown, and coffee. All of you started working in the kitchen with Johnny and Mark teaming up with your brother, and Jaehyun was left with you. While busily cooking, you and Jaehyun managed to catch up and his performance of the song 'A Whole New World' was brought up. You were too ecstatic to talk about that with him. That song was one of your most favorite disney songs and his version was actually so good that you did nothing but to praise him. Jaehyun couldn't help but smile at everything you're telling him. You asked him if he could sing a few lines so that you could hear it live.
"I can sing the entire song, but you have to sing it with me. Deal?" he smiled.
"Aish deal," you laughed.
He started singing as he continued with his task of preparing the hashbrowns, "~ I can show you the world, shining, shimmering, splendid. Tell me princess now when did you last let your heart decide? I can open your eyes. Take you wonder by wonder over, sideways, and under on a magic carpet ride.. A whole you new world, a new fantastic point of view. No one to tell us no or where to go or say we're only dreaming.." he looked at you to tell you it's your turn now.
You then began with your part, "~ A whole new world, a dazzling place I never knew..." you weren't bad in singing though. You loved singing ever since you were a kid, and having an ear for good music, it amazes you every single time you hear and listen to great singers that's why you were really amazed by Jaehyun's version of that song.
Meanwhile, Sehun who was in your room woke up already. He was looking for you beside him but you weren't there. He heard voices so he washed up and headed downstairs. On his way, he already heard you singing. He smiled, he loved your voice so much. Then there was Jaehyun's voice which he could recognize as he was also friends with them. He couldn't deny that your voices blended well. When he was nearby and about to approach the both of you, the song ended and you were laughing along with Jaehyun. As Jaehyun continued praising your voice, two arms had slipped around your waist and someone from behind hugged you and burried his head onto your neck.
"Hmm good morning, babe. Already hungy?" you greeted him as you caressed his hair.
"Not yet, babe. Go on, don't mind me. I was just looking for you," Sehun said while his head remained buried onto your neck.
Jaehyun felt a bit awkward, he knew that you and Sehun had been dating for years now but it was the first time that he witnessed you both this cuddly. He felt like he needed to excuse himself to give you and Sehun your personal time and space.
"Uhm these hashbrowns are good now, I'll go check on the others," he smiled and rubbed the back of his neck.
You and Sehun remained in that position.
"You still sleepy?" you asked Sehun as you turned to face him.
His arms were still embracing your waist, "A bit. You left the bed early, I couldn't get back to sleep when I realized you were not beside me," he said with a pout before proceeding to fully hug you as he placed his head on your shoulders.
You chuckled and caressed his hair, "I'm sorry. I just decided not to disturb you earlier since you're still sleeping soundly. Come on, let's eat? I'll prepare your coffee," you smiled at him when he looked at you with a pout still visible on his face.
"You better," Sehun wasn't much of a fan of coffee but the one you make him always had him craving for it.
A few days after, Sehun and Chanyeol had a recording in the studio. You decided to give him a surprise visit. As you were on the doorway, you peeked carefully and saw Sehun inside and heard him trying to sing 'A Whole New World.' You softened and felt a hard tug in your heart. You thought of how much you love this man. You stayed by the door for a while and continued watching him practice singing the song. A few minutes more and you couldn't take it.
"Se?" you called him. It was obvious that he was a bit shocked seeing you there.
"Babe! Why didn't you tell me you're coming?" he kissed your cheek.
You smiled at him, "It won't be a surprise if I did right?"
"Have you been here for a while?"
You nodded at him and your smile got bigger, "I heard you singing." He looked down.
You panicked when you saw him looking sad, "Hey what's wrong?" you held his cheek. He then held your hand and led you inside.
When you were both seated, he looked into your eyes while still holding your hand.
"Do I sound bad?"
"What? No! Where's that coming from?" you were so surprised by what he was saying.
"I just thought so. I couldn't pronounce every thing clearly."
"Babe, you don't know how much I wanted to run and hug you immediately when I heard you earlier. You sound so good! Good enough for me to fall in love with you more," you comforted him "and what are you talking about that you can't pronounce every thing clearly? Excuse me, are you questioning your girlfriend's skill of knowing how to decipher which music is good and which is not?" with that he smiled.
You scooted closer to his side and hugged him. "Babe, please don't be sad. It's killing me."
"What do you think of my english?"
"Good, you sound sexier." he chuckled and made you look at him.
"Y/n, I'm serious."
"But it's true!" you pouted.
"From 1-10, rate it."
"10."
"Babe."
"Oh Sehun, I'm telling you it's 10! English is my second language. And if you're thinking it's biased just because you are my boyfriend, no. You really improved because you've been practicing with me all the time."
"What about Jaehyun's english?"
"What?"
"Jaehyun's english, rate it."
"Jaehyun's of course is 10 because he had lived in the States for years and he learned really well there. Wait.." realization started hitting you.
"Were you jealous of Jaehyun the other day?" Sehun tried to smile cutely at you.
"Oh Sehun??? Is that why your backhug was extra cuddly?" you accused him.
"Hey, I always hug you that way!" he defended.
"But not when face to face with people," you couldn't help but find it amusing, "the go on and don't mind me part, you purposely did that so he'd feel awkward and leave, didn't you?" you were now grinning at him.
Sehun wasn't able to do anything but smile shyly and just hug you to hide his face on your shoulders.
You were chuckling at him now. "I couldn't help it. When I witnessed how you both sing so good together, I just wanted to be there and show him you're mine. That's why I also wanted to learn and perfect the song. I wanna sing it with you."
You held his face and looked through his eyes, "I'll sing it with you no matter what. If you feel like you haven't perfected it yet, I'll be here to practice with you. Though babe I swear, it's perfect already."
Sehun smiled and kissed you on the lips, "I love you."
You smiled back, placed your arms around his neck, "I know, and I love you too."
He kissed you again, this time with more passion. Sehun guided you to sit on his lap without breaking the kiss. One of his hand was supporting your back and the other was placed on your hips. The kiss was becoming a bit heated when someone barged into the room.
"Aaaahh my innocent eyes!" Chanyeol shouted and covered his eyes.
Sehun laughed while you hit his arm and hid yourself onto his chest.

As you ran your fingers through the soft petals of the lavender standing up right in the pot before you, you gazed up at the soft colours of the plant, admiring how calming they look basking underneathe the ray of sunshine.
"Hey!" a voice called out, tearing your gaze away from the plant towards the voice, you spotted a familiar male with a bright smile on his face. He showed that silly toothy smile of his, waving from the window of your bedroom, his other hand gripped the bike in his hands tightly to keep it steady.
It seems as if the world had stopped moving whenever the scent of lavender reaches your nose. "Ready for school?" the sound of his honey-smooth voice barely made through the glass. The scent of lavender never left you as you picked up your bag from your bag, slinging it over your shoulder with a soft grunt before walking out of your room.
You walked out of the house with a soft smile on your face at the sight of the boy, "you know, you didn't have to wait all day for me," you sighed, pushing his shoulder gently with your hand. "Oh I know. I'm just doing this so you could give me those delicious omelettes you usually prepare for me." he chuckled, earning a hard punch from you.
You ignored your friend's dramatic groans of pain as you went inside your garage where your dad was working to fix his car, grabbing your own bike and getting on with ease as you rode down the streets with nothing but the sound of the strong wind hitting your cheeks and the sound of the paddles of the bike.
"And cut! Take 10 people!" the director announced through his megaphone. You sighed, rubbing your eyes in exhaustion with your hands as you found the director's disappointed eyes glaring down at you from afar. You knew what was about to come with that look.
"Y/N, you forgot your line. Again." the director stated as he marched towards you. You took a deep breath, looking down at the floor in shame. "I know, I know. I'm sorry," you groaned, your voice evident of exhaustion. "It's just-" you tried to reason before the director cuts you off with a sigh, rubbing his temples with his fingers.
"Listen, take a break and go home. You're done for the day anyway, you look as if you had slept for decades. Maybe that'll help you get back to your senses," he suggests with a small smile. "But-" you tried to reason, gripping your script in your palms only to have it snatched away from your grip. "Na-uh, Y/n. Mr. Director is always right!" the boy from earlier, your best friend in the whole studio, Yang Jeongin, tutted with a shake of his head.
"Go rest or eat, you look like you're about to faint. We can't have you, the star of the show, become the next Sleeping Beauty, can we?" Jeongin joked. "Was that suppose to be a joke or an offer? You know very well I wouldn't miss the chance to just collapse on a bed and be willing to sleep 1000 years." you rolled your eyes sarcastically, erupting a laugh from the director.
"You should recite your lines with someone who's equal to your levels of acting, y/n. It might help you and them improve at acting," the director suggested, looking at your script once he struggled to get it out of Jeongin's grip.
"Oh yeah? And who would that be?" you asked, unbothered as you grabbed your cup of cold milk and brought it to your dry lips. "Oh, I don't know. Maybe Jisung?" he spoke with such calmness that you couldn't help but widen your eyes as you choke out the milk.
"What? Han Jisung?" you croaked in a hoarse voice. "You two are love interests in this drama, you might as well recite lines with each other to help each other improve and to get a better outcome for the drama" he said with a shrug. How could he suggest something so vile with a casual tone?
Jeongin couldnt contain his laughter as his gaze to your shocked, open-mouthed expression laced with 'are you serious?' all over it. He howled with laughter as the director looked at the both of you in confusion, not knowing what was the problem.
"What's wrong?" he asked, finally looking up from the script. "Sir, are you serious? That man hates me! I hate him! We both hate each other! I swear I'd rather go crying and bawling my eyes out in public!" you exclaimed. "That delirious donkey from Shrek couldn't even hold his hatred towards me to save his life!"
"I'm right here, L/N. I'm not deaf, I can hear your dying whale of a voice from Pluto." a familiar voice hissed behind you. You gasped silently in alarm, turning your body to come face to face with Han Jisung and all of his amazing glory.
"Jesus Christ, what are you, a sasaeng fan? Don't creep up on people like that, it's rude!" you exclaimed angrily as Jisung calmly sips his expresso, glaring down at you with pure boredom in his eyes. With a raise of his eyebrows, he let out a smirk, "Jesus Christ, what are you, a shallow snob? Don't talk trash bout people behind their backs like that, it's rude." he mocked, showing his pearly white teeth.
"See!" you turned towards the manager who was looking at you two with an unamused expression. "He hates me!" you exclaimed, "says the girl who talked trash about me first!" Jisung hissed in response.
Jeongin, during your bickering, was having the time of his life, laughing at all of the drama that was happening before him. "Oh my God, you two deserve an Oscar. You two act so lovey dovey when you're in that 'platonic state' on set while here in real life you're bickering like an old married couple, it's priceless!"
"Jeongin!" the two of your exclaimed angrily. The director gave out a soft sigh before walking away from the whole arguement, not wanting to cause some trouble since he had other errands to do.
"By the way. In a week, we're going to shoot somewhere in Tokyo for the camping scenes since you guys are gonna have more screen time there. I already informed your managers bout it, therefore you just need to go over the details of the scripts I gave you this morning." the director spoke in a serious tone as he walked away.
"What? For how long?!" Jisung whined loudly, making the director sigh and look back at the boy with an unamused expression. "It's only a month, then we'll be back to shoot here for the last few episodes," he replied shortly before bolting off somewhere to answer his ringing phone.
"You kidding me?" you mumbled to yourself, scratching your neck. "A whole month with you? I barely last 10 hours!" you groaned as Jisung rolled his eyes at you. "Shut up, y/n. I'm as thrilled as you are bout being stuck with your whiny ass for 30 days straight." he spat, his head turning to give you a death glare.
"Whatever, you ass. I'm going to my trailer and get my stuff so I can squeeze in some practice before Kiyeon locks me out from the dorm from the inside again." you huffed, grabbing your jacket which you placed hanging on the chair nearby.
"No one asked, y/n." Jisung replied, a small smile appearing on his face. You muttered incoherent swear words under your breath as you stretched to put on your jacket and head to the makeup room. "What did you say?" he asked with a smirk. You look back at him with half lidded tired eyes, giving him the middle finger before turning to walk away.
"Shut it, donkey"
Since you were a part of a girl group named Mythical Refrain in SM Entertainment, you still had to practice for your upcoming comeback for a few hours. God, can life get any tiring? You went out of the car after you parked it right outside of your dorm.
After a whole 6 hours of practice and 8 hours of filming, you felt like you could sleep through the whole decade. Your feet ached with every step you take, your muscles were sore from all the dancing and your voice was hoarse from the loud singing.
Your hand twisted the doorknob and your body came in contact with the fresh air conditioned room. As you entered, you slipped off your shoes and tossed your jacket to the sofa. You collapsed onto the soft cushions with a loud exhausted groan, ignoring the sound of your leader, Cheonsa, typing away on her laptop.
"Yeah, but you should get some rest if you ever want to perform again." your eyes glanced over to her bandaged ankle laying on a pillow on the floor. "Says the person who smells and looks like shit," she laughs, finally taking a break from the typing to look at your messy figure.
"Welcome back! How's your day?" she greeted, taking a sip of her coffee. "It's like 1 Am why are you drinking coffee?" you asked, looking up as you lay your chin on the pillow. "Wow. Not even a 'hello' or 'my day went absolutely shit and tiring'? Also, just because my ankle is injured, doesn't mean I get to slack off and not produce more music, Y/n." she chuckled, not tearing her gaze away from her laptop.
"Wouldn't want that boy to ruin your pretty mane, huh?" she teased, going back to her endless typing. "Shut up! You better go fucking rest or else I'll tell manager-nim that you stayed up writing and making songs again." you laughed, moving to the fridge to grab a cold bottle of water.
"You look as if you just dug yourself out of a graveyard. What did that director made you do?" she jokes. "It wasn't me, that terrible bastard couldn't stop bothering me I almost pulled my hair out" you complained, finally getting up to grab a towel.
"That cute rapper from Stray Kids? What was his name, again? Jinseul?" she asked with a comforting smile on her exhausted face. "It's Jisung and he's a fucking donkey. But, yeah, it is because of him." you grumbled, clutching the pillow in your fists at the thought of him. "He's really pretty though," Cheonsa chuckled.
"Excuse you, Ms. I-have-a-secret-boyfriend." I added in a sarcastic tone, making her laugh. "Oh hush, I'm 23. I wouldn't be dating someone younger than me, I feel old enough when fans call me noona during fansigns." she jokes, making you giggle at the memories you had. "But still, I look like shit when he ruffled my hair when I was on the way to the dance studio" you complained.
You entered your shared room to see your roommate, Haneul, playing on her nintendo switch. "Hey, you're back! How was the shoot?" she said, sticking her tongue out in concentration. "Stressful" you replied, turned on the shower and laying your hand under the running water to test the temperature.
"As your leader, the Mythical Refrain's most trusted, I'm doing what's best for the group and our fans. Therefore, you are not going to get rid of me that easily and go take a shower you piece of shit!" she exclaimed, throwing a pillow at you. You laughed as you ran for your life to miss that one single pillow that was thrown at you.
"You know. In a week, I'm going to be flying to Tokyo for a shoot. Wouldn't be back in a month, so don't miss me too much." you joke, grabbing the pillow on the floor and placing it back on the couch. "Trust me, we wouldn't even think about you for those 30 days of freedom. Have you told PD-nim yet?" she asked with a laugh.
"I don't think so. But the director and manager-nim said they'll take care of it. They'll announce that I'll be on hiatus during our promotions for the following month," you picked the dirt off of your nails as you spoke, hearing Cheonsa let out a hum in response.
"A hiatus announcement? Isn't that a bit too far? I mean, Park Jinyoung from Got7 and D.O from EXO didn't go on breaks when they shot their dramas." she asked with furrowed brows. "It's a pretty long drama. With three idols in the same drama!" you exclaimed, stretching your arms out as you collapsed once again into the cushions. "I see. Now go sleep and take a shower," Cheonsa nodded her head towards the direction of your room.
You huffed at her stern tone, pushing yourself up as you glared at your leader who was typing aggressively on the keyboard l with no intentions of stopping anytime soon. You sighed before walking away.
"Is it because of that boy?" she yelled through the sound of running water. You felt your blood boil at the sound of his name being mentioned, your mind replaying the many insults and arguements that happened today. All because of that donkey.
"That boy, or in my case, donkey, is the reason why Im losing hair!" you exclaimed in a dramatically angry tone. "No wonder, I thought you were just bleaching your hair too much that it burned off" she laughed. "Very funny, Haneul. Could you pass me my phone? It's in my dufflebag." you asked.
"Chill out, y/n. Boys are wierd anyways. But like, he's your sunbaenim. Shouldn't you at least, attempt to be nice?" she chuckled, walking into the bathroom to hand you your phone. "Im always nice to him. He started the arguements, anyways!" you shot back.
"You're no different, y/n. You called him a donkey less than 30 seconds ago." she chuckled, crossing her arms on her chest. "Well he is a donkey. Very accurate to the one in the Shrek movie!" you laughed.
"What? I'm just stating facts, who knows, it might actually happen in real life. Plus, I'm disgusted at their public display of affection. Ten is actually a good dude to hang out with," she grinned, leaning her head against her palm. "Hanuel. I have a toothbrush nearby and I will not hesitate to shove it down your throat! I shoved a paintbrush down someones mouth and I'm not afraid to do it again!" you threatened.
"This is ridiculous. Sooner or later you will have to do some lovey-dovey stuff with him on set, since you know-" she taunted with a smirk. "Don't even say it." you clenched your jaw at the thought. Sooner or later you'd have to kiss Han Jisung, you'd rather lick the bathroom floor.
Haneul couldn't stop staring at you with wiggling eyebrows and that annoying smirk across her face. "God, you're disgusted whenever Cheonsa brings her boyfriend in the dorm but you're, somehow, not disgusted bout shipping me with a guy I hate?" you complained.
Hanuel giggled, waving off your small threat with her hand. "Sure, go shower. You reek of boys," she chuckled with a raise of her eyebrow, exiting the bathroom. . "I'm going to go sleep. And I advise you to do the same after you shower, considering you have a photoshoot tomorrow." Her head popped out from the door way. "What photoshoot?" you asked with a slightly raised voice. "You know, that photoshoot for our next comeback concept?" she stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "That's tomorrow? I thought I'd finally have half the day off" you groaned, running a hand through your hair in frustration.
You let out a loud scoff for her to hear before shutting the bathroom door and proceeded to take a cold shower.
"Bitch, you thought. It's only a couple of hours. Plus it's near the set so you could immediately head to there after you're done," she shrugged. "Oh my god," you groaned, rubbing your eyes. "How many episodes have you shot? The whole group wants to watch and 'clown you'. Cheonsa's words, not mine," she teased.
"Probably not much. Since I have to go to Tokyo next week!" you snapped, clenching your fists. "Woah, Tokyo? I wanna come!" Haneul exclaimed in astonishment. "You've been there, why are you acting as if you're a child locked up in some prison cell? We debuted a year ago and just finished our tour, for fucks sake!" you exclaimed.
"Why though?" she asked, ignoring your statements. You gave out a big exasperated sigh, "I have to shoot some scenes there for a month. So I won't be joining Mythical Refrain's promotions this month," you rubbed your face in frustration.
,"Oh. Well look on the bright side! At least you get to go sightseeing in Tokyo. The last time we were there, we barely had time to go around." Hanuel exclaimed with a bright smile. You grabbed the nearest toothbrush and raised it over your head angrily, causing Haneul to let out a small squeak and running to her bed.
Tomorrow was gonna be a heavy day.
"You're late, y/n." Jisung chuckled as you sat down on a chair in front of the mirror in the make up room. "I am aware of that, Jisung. It's not like I don't know how to tell time." you spat angrily as a make up artist approached you with brushes in hand.
"I know. Just thought that I'd remind you," he grinned. You rolled your eyes at him as the soft brush slide against the skin under your eye, covering up your eye bags with foundation. You grabbed your script and started reading, ignoring Jisung's eyes on you.
"What do you want now?" you sighed, looking away from your paper to give him a half lidded stare. "You look like shit, even with makeup on. No offense Eunbi, you're doing a great job" Jisung smiled at the makeup artist who just chuckled and continued on with her job.
"God, why didnt I just get my make up done in the trailer?" you mumbled to yourself, feeling soft pats on your shoulder given by your makeup artist. "Yeah, why didn't you? I lost my appetite just breathing the same air as you," Jisung mumbled loud enough for you to hear.
"Can it, you dick-" you growled, about to say some random comeback when the director came in with a wide smile. "Jisung! Y/N! Be out in 5, alright?" he exclaimed before shutting the door.
Your makeup artist bowed at you before exiting as well to catch up with the other makeup artists. "Great. See you there, y/n." Jisung laughed at your pouty expression after being cut off.
You groaned in annoyance as you watched his figure skipping out of the make up room, sticking your tongue out at him despite his back turned to you. You read through your script once again before getting up to walk through the door.
You jogged towards the set, highfiving your co-stars who gave you encouragement to do well on the next scenes, making you smile. Of course, that smile faltered when you remembered it was a scene you had to do with Jisung and you being friendly.
Your eye twitched at the thought as the staff gave you the school bag you were suppose to use for this scene since you played the roll of a young highschool girl. You gave Jeongin a thumbs up who responded with a salute as you walked up with a stem of lavender in hand.
You stood on the sidewalk as a few people came up to retouch your make up. You sighed, looking back at Jisung who was playing his phone to wait for his appearance on camera. Once you felt the soft feeling of sponges caressing your skin, you took a deep breath and clapped.
"You ready?" the director yelled through his speaker. "Hell yeah!" Jisung exclaimed from afar, tucking his phone into his pocket as he waved his hand with a thumbs up. "Let's get it! " you clapped enthusiastically before getting into position.
"Lights."
You see the lights being adjusted to get a better lighting of your surroundings to give it an aesthetic vibe. You cracked your knuckles and took deep breathes, reciting your lines to yourself in your head.
"Camera." You heard the sounds of camera being moved to your position, carefully recording your movements, your mistakes, and your acting. You gave a little smile at the staff who gave you a thumbs up.
"And action!"

La Pomme ~ Chapter 14
Pairing: Sam x OC (eventual Dean x OC and Dean x Castiel. And I mean eventual.)
Series summary: George is a casual French-Mistake-universe Supernatural fan living in no-COVID 2020, who's life is upended when she's suddenly launched between realities, two years into the boys' past (S13E22). What begins as an insane, immersive fan experience turns into more when Jack goes missing and George offers up her AU information to help track him down. Soon it's discovered that she and Sam may actually have history. But that's impossible, right?
Word Count: 5,800
Warnings: {smut, fluff, angst, show level violence, swearing, mentions of suicide} ***Detailed warnings will be tagged for specific chapters.
A/N: Following the events of my prequel Paradise and second story From My Eyes Off. Reading those first gives context but isn’t necessary to start this one.
As annoyed as she'd been about Cas leaving against her better judgement, it felt good to be back on the road again. What she'd done yesterday, running away and searching for her family, had felt simultaneously necessary and awful the entire time she was doing it; like her nerves were sliding up against a cheese grater the wrong way. Worse than her standard feelings of unease. Being back in the car with Sam and Dean, finally headed once again toward Jack on their rescue mission, gave her a sense of peace and a strange kind of pain relief from the prior day's grating.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now a threesome, Sam, Dean, and George had set sail again on their mission to find Jack. Everyone in the car--including George, surprisingly--seemed comfortable with Dean's music filling the silence for the first few hours.
That being said, at the moment there was a throng of angry butterflies swooping through her abdomen. Cas and Sam had said they trusted her, by which she was flattered, but she felt immeasurably guilty. Should they trust her? Sure, she knew she was leading them the right way to find Jack, but was she supposed to be leading them at all? For all she knew, she had disrupted their destined timeline and was causing all kinds of unknowable consequences that would come back to bite them all in the ass eventually. She was starting to wonder whether her intentions were purely altruistic or if she was really just being selfish.
They had a short way left to go when they stopped for a quick, light gas station lunch and Dean decided to get some shut eye. He denied it, but Sam was almost positive he needed to sleep off all the crap he'd been consuming. When they got back in the car, Dean laid down in the back, Sam drove, and George sat in the passenger's seat.
It was her first time in the passenger's seat of Baby and she was strangely giddy about it. Her eyes roamed over every inch of the infamous car, taking in the surreal experience. Sam's arm adjusting on the steering wheel caught her attention and her head snapped sideways to look at him. A memory of a dream she'd had years ago filled her sight and the Sam sitting next to her was 10 years younger, with shorter hair and a baby face, but he had the same expression on it. It was a strange kind of worried uncertainty, like he was trying to figure out a riddle he already knew the answer to.
The vision felt so real and before she could stop herself she blurted, "Sam?"
He turned to look at her quickly and in a blink he was back to the older, bearded version she was used to. She could tell she had startled him out of his thoughts. Quickly she covered, "Uh, can I ask you something?" He nodded with a quiet noise of permission and she asked, "What you and Cas said earlier… about 'trusting' me? Uh… were you serious about that?"
"Yeah?" He wondered why she seemed so stupefied.
"Well," George had to take a moment to figure out how to articulately ask her question, "Why? I mean what makes you believe you should?" The look on Sam's face made her chuckle, letting out a nervous breath she'd been holding; she quickly clarified, "Don't get me wrong, you definitely should trust me and I'm honored, truly. But, I'm a mysterious woman who showed up in the bunker one day with no provable explanation and now is claiming to have inside information about the location of your missing adult-son-angel-human? I should be a walking red flag to a Winchester. Like, at least as a safety precaution, you shouldn't trust me until you know me, right?"
"I know you--er, enough," Came falling out before he could stop himself. Quickly he stumbled to add, "I mean, I feel like I know you enough to know you aren't lying to me…? Anymore, I mean," He added upon remembering she'd lied about her origins when they first met. He didn't think that counted, exactly; he would have done the same thing in her situation.
"But… why? What makes you feel that way?" George pressed. She still didn't understand. What made him so quick to trust her?
Sam was quiet for a while, turning a pale shade of green, before answering, "Same reason I was able to find you at the hotel, I guess?" He glanced at her with a serious expression and could tell by her gulp that she knew exactly what he was talking about. The pull; she felt it too. He exhaled deeply and reminded her, "Good instincts?"
Staring at him curiously, she imitated him, "Yea… that must be it."
The air around them felt strangely electrified as they both sat in silence. They were each fighting their own internal struggles about what it all meant. She wanted to ask him what he meant, ask him what this feeling was and if he was feeling the same thing. He wanted to know what she knew about his dream. As Dean let out a sharp snore, they both debated whether it was the right time or place.
"Do you trust me?" He asked her suddenly and it surprised her.
"Uhhhh, yea? I mean…" She paused, seriously considering it for the first time, then nodded definitively, "Yes."
"Why?" He pressed with a smile.
Understanding his point, she rolled her eyes, "That's--"
Cutting her off, Sam admitted with a smile, "OK, maybe it's a little different, but… you trust me because I remind you of someone who you know to be trustworthy, right?" She nodded slowly and he shrugged, "It's kind of the same thing for me."
George's eyebrows furrowed at him, starting to get concerned that she already did understand what he meant. Still, she asked, "Oh-kay, but... the person you remind me of is Sam Winchester… and you just so happen to be Sam Winchester, soooo-"
"OK, I don't know exactly how to explain it without sounding crazy, but I feel a connection to you," He finally admitted. Each word scratched and clawed resistantly on their way out of his mouth while he squirmed in his seat.
"A connection? To me?" She was surprised. And not. He affirmed with a quick nod and she began to fidget nervously. What did he mean? Did she already know? Is it what she's been feeling, too? He couldn't possibly feel the same connection she felt, surely; what she felt was easily explainable by her having been a fan of the show. But then what 'connection' was he talking about?
Trying to gather her thoughts she blurted, "Why?"
Sam gripped the steering wheel tightly and admitted, "OK, uh, about ten years ago I had this... dream." His eyes were glued to the road, so he didn't notice George suddenly stiffen tightly, whipping around to look at him. She instantly remembered her memory flash from earlier and a strange tingling sensation in her gut told her she knew exactly what dream Sam was referring to. She knew this feeling had nothing to do with the show.
Of course she'd had lots of dreams about him, and countless other fictional or otherwise unobtainable people before, but the dream that sprang to mind had been… different. It had saved her life.
"A dream?" she croaked, sweat forming on her cool skin. Was it her or was it suddenly sweltering in the car? She was desperate to take off her hoodie, but felt like this was the wrong time to be stripping.
"It was right after Dean had died--and, at the time, I thought he was gone for good. I was trying to fix it but it was taking a long time. Things got pretty dark. And then one night I…" He hesitated for a moment and then said quickly, "I had a dream. In it I met a woman in a bar and she… well, she was trustworthy. She helped me... find the light again," He finished vaguely with a wistful, if slightly embarrassed smile.
George felt as though the world around her were still moving but everything about her was in suspended animation; her body, her thoughts, her functions, like someone hit pause on her.
The night she'd had The Dream™, she'd been left at the altar by her would-be-high school sweetheart, who ran off with her best friend, the maid of honor. The heartache had felt unbearable and she happened to have had access to some serious pain pills. In her grief, she assumed they, coupled with a few bottles of tequila, would be enough to end her pain. But instead she'd had an indescribably intense dream about a man who made her feel ridiculous about throwing her life away over a dipwad like Greg. And--purely coincidentally, she'd always assumed--the man from her dream had been Sam Winchester.
While her dream had been incredibly significant to her, it's not something she'd even thought about until this moment. Why would she? It was just her pill and booze induced dream haze, randomly manifesting a hot, loving, perfect person to help her see that life was worth living. Of course, she had always known it wasn't real, that she hadn't actually dreamt about the real Sam Winchester.
Obviously, that's ridiculous! Because, he's not re- She paused her thoughts when the man in question's anxious throat clearing snapped her back to the moment. Blinking finally, she looked at him closely and noticed that he was avoiding looking at her. He was white as a sheet and his jaw was clenched so tight, she felt sympathy pain in her teeth. A burning sensation in her lungs reminded her that she couldn't remember when she'd last breathed in.
With a quick, deliberate inhale she asked, "And I... remind you of this woman?"
The serious tone of her voice made Sam finally turn to look at her. Her expression told him his instincts were right but he couldn't believe it. The two of them stared at each other in shock for longer than was safe to be driving. Neither knew what to say.
The car swerved slightly when Sam was startled by a loud, screeching 80s guitar solo suddenly emanating from the backseat.
"Jesus!" George yelped, jumping out of her skin.
Dean rolled over and sat up with a grumble, "Close. Jimi Hendrix." He held his noisy phone up and dismissed the alarm, "Did I miss any stimulating conversation?" Sam and George both looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes before simultaneously mumbling vague denials. Dean was attune to their odd behavior but when he noticed a road sign for The Trees of Enigma, he opted to ask instead, "Where are we?"
"Oh, uh--'bout 20 miles from False Klamath. What's the plan?" Sam instantly switched to work mode when he realized they were getting close.
Dean raised an annoyed eyebrow, "Are we already that close? Didn't we talk about stopping at the last town for a motel first?"
"Er--uh, oh--right," Sam groaned and his eyes rolled back into his head in embarrassment. He was furious with himself; Dean had mentioned that plan at their last stop but Sam hadn't exactly been giving his brother his full attention.
"What?" George asked curiously. "When was this conversation?"
"At the gas station," Dean said matter of factly, watching as she narrowed her eyes at him. "It was just before we left. I wasn't hiding it from you; I mentioned it when you were walking back to the car. Remember, you got distracted trying to fish out that M&M that went down your top," He chuckled in amusement, looking to share the joke with Sam but finding him looking oddly guilty instead.
"Oh, yeah," She responded slowly. Looking down and pulling her top away from her chest, she muttered, "Did I ever get that out?" Dean snorted and then watched Sam glance over as she hooked a finger down her top to go fishing again, realizing why his brother had missed the motel plan in the first place.
"George, it's not--it's not like that--" Dean began but stopped short, not knowing what to say to comfort her.
When George's head suddenly popped up again, Sam jumped, his head jerking toward the road and Dean stifled a laugh.
Looking back at him, she asked, "Ok, but why would we stop at a motel when we're this close? It's the middle of the day, the place is still open." Looking back and forth between them, she saw their expressions slowly turn guilty and she realized. With a mildly offended huff, she stated matter of factly, "Oh, you were going to leave me at the motel while the two of you went to go look for Jack alone. Got it." Crossing her arms over her chest, she turned to look out the window. Dean and Sam shared a guilty, 'oh, shit' expression.
"It's just that..." Sam tried to pick up where his brother left off, wanting to explain, but he froze too. He couldn't stop kicking himself for being distracted by her--er, their conversation. He should have been paying closer attention and now they faced nothing but bad options. Options that put her life in more danger. "...Well, it's just-"
"Oh, calm down," She cut him off softly with a small eye roll, looking back at them. She sneered like a spoiled teenager, "It's fine; I'm fragile and weak and have no monster fighting skills to speak of. I'm a baby sans trench coat. It would be too dangerous and irresponsible to let me come with you, so you had a plan. I get it. Liking it is another story, but I get it. At least now I know how Jack feels," She lobbed, giving Sam an annoyed smirk, to which his head hung slightly. With a deep calming breath, she explained in a more poised tone, "I'm not upset, I'm just frustrated that there's nothing I can do about it; I know how fucking pig headed the two of you are when you're right."
"Even worse when we're wrong," Dean added empathetically after a beat and Sam nodded apologetically.
George snorted in agreement and sighed, "Alright, well your offensively infantilizing, yet totally justified plan to forcefully protect me has failed, so now what?"
Dean rubbed his eyes, letting out some thoughtful grumbles and trying to clear the sleep fog from his brain, "Uhm, well we just gotta keep driving to the next town, find a safe place for you there and then double back; start looking for Jack."
As Dean spoke, George allowed herself to focus on her instincts and there was suddenly a fire alarm going off in her head. There was a sense of urgency she couldn't shake. Jack was in trouble.
Looking directly at Sam, George begged, "The nearest town is nearly 20 miles away! We have to find Jack, now. We're this close and I don't think we have time to waste. I've got a bad feeling," Either because they were getting closer to where she believed Jack to be or because she was finally paying attention to something other than Sam, she could sense how much danger the kid was in. But Dean was shaking his head dismissively, not listening beyond her request to stop. She tried offering sweetly, "We can at least stop since it's right here and you guys can take ten minutes to ask around and see if they've seen him? Do your little detective cosplay, strictly recon--I'm not sure if I'm using that term right but it sounds cool, so just go with it. I will stay in the car! Please!"
Dean looked like he was considering it but quickly shook his head, "George, I don't think that's a good idea; you'd be completely vulnerable and we can't be distracted worrying about you when we're trying to find Jack." He then squinted at her, offended. "And it's not cosplay. We're hunters, not LARPers."
"OK, I've seen you LARP and I know for a FACT you fucking love it, Mr. Braveheart!" Dean gave her a shocked glare, forgetting again that she knew more about their lives than a woman he'd met mere days ago normally would. She continued before he could respond, "And seriously, you guys I have a really bad feeling," She held her abdomen for emphasis, "Jack's in trouble! Please, I'll stay in the car with all the doors locked and one of your big giant knives. I'll be OK! I stabbed you didn't I?!" George reminded Dean, though she knew she was grasping at straws now.
Dean's eyes narrowed, "OK, first of all, you sliced me a little an-"
"Enough! Dean's right, we're not risking your life, Georgia. It's too dangerous," Sam's tone was startlingly definitive and both she and Dean were a bit stunned. Now that he realized who she was--who she had to be--there was no fucking way Sam was putting her in anymore danger. He'd made enough lapses in judgment since she'd showed up, any number of which could have already gotten her killed. He was done taking risks with her life.
As they saw the 'coming up' sign for "The Trees of Enigma", he pushed his foot down, speeding up just enough to make his point.
"Sam, please listen to me! Jack is here and he's in danger! What about protecting him?!" Both Sam and Dean shared an uneasy look; she could see they were torn she just didn't know how to convince them. Desperately, she reasoned, "I will be fine in the car! I promise! I'm from the future, God damnit! Don't you think I would know if I'd died on an old episode of Supernatural?!"
"I can't take that chance," Sam replied sternly, gripping the steering wheel tightly. Dean and she shared a confused expression and George huffed.
When they spotted the giant Johnny Appleseed statue around the bend, her stomach dropped. She could tell by the look on Sam's face there was no use and she began to panic, pleading with him. He was resolute about continuing, but as they were coming up on the turn in for the parking lot, he suddenly felt the steering wheel pulling against him. The whole car started thumping hard on the left hand driver's side. It took them a second to realize they'd gotten a flat tire and Sam knew he had no choice but to pull off the mountain highway and into the tourist spot's parking lot.
As he safely maneuvered the car into a distant parking spot and shut Baby off, George couldn't help but thank her lucky stars.
"Motherfucker," Sam landed a punch on the steering wheel.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't you take this out on her!" Dean shouted angrily. "A car is only as good as its driver."
"Oh, you know what?! Yo--" Sam began but he was cut off by George's impatience.
"It doesn't matter, stop fighting!" Her tone was authoritative. "We're here and we aren't going anywhere anytime soon. So, why don't you boys go be hunters while I put the spare on the car? I'll be preoccupied with the car, it'll give you a chance to gather some intel on Jack, and by the time you come out you'll be able to take me to a motel--Not like that, Dean." She cut him off when she saw a smart ass expression burst onto his face at her words.
"You can change a tire?" He asked skeptically instead.
"Yes, Dean, I can change a tire. Ya know, women can also vote and take birth control now, too!"
"No, I know women can, I'm asking: can you?"
She shoved him gently and opened her car door, ordering, "just get out and show me where the spare is!" When she exited, a grateful shiver ran through her at the piercingly crisp Oregon climate. She was thankful for the relief from her earlier panic sweating.
Sam and Dean both exchanged identical "I-don't-like-this" looks before getting out of the car after her and popping the trunk. Dean lifted the trunk and then grabbed the false bottom that held some of their weaponry, exposing the spare and equipment underneath.
"OK, here's the jack and the lug wrench," he handed her the two tools and then reached back in for the tire. "Lemme pull the spare out for you."
"Stop wasting time, I can pull a tire out of a trunk."
"No, really, it's probably going to take one person just to hold the weapons up." Sam gently nudged her out of the way and leaned in to grab the spare while Dean held up the armory. Sam set it down next to the flat and then shoved the jack into position underneath the car with ease.
"Hey, knock it off. I told you I can change a tire," She grabbed Sam's wrist and tugged him back from the car, gently shoving him and Dean toward the visitor center and gift shop. "Now go! Go find out what you can about Jack. The sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back." Sam and Dean exchanged nervous looks, hesitating. "I'll be fine. Go. Bring me back some salt-water taffy!" She joked, trying to distract them.
"Wait," Dean walked back over and flipped back down the weapons shelf in the trunk and pulled a 17" bowing knife from some hidden pocket. Holding it out to her hilt first, he said, "The biggest knife we have. Don't hurt yourself."
"Jesus," She gulped. "OK. That's… big." She took it from his outstretched hand, nodding apprehensively, trying to psych herself up should she need to use it.
"I get that a lot." As Dean winked, George let out a small laugh and brandished the sheathed knife at him, faux menacingly.
Sam took a step towards her and pointed his hands at her in prayer position, "Hey, the second you get the spare on, you get in that car, lock all the doors, and watch for us, OK? Don't leave the car for any reason. Promise?" Now he was pleading with her.
"What if I have to pee?" She joked half-heartedly, starting to feel nervous and selfishly not wanting him to go.
"You could always try using that empty Pepsi bottle you had your eye on the other day," Sam cracked a small smile.
"Don't. Don't do that." Dean interjected in a serious tone. "Let's go, Sammy," Dean had to pull Sam away with a rough tug and the brothers headed for the gift shop while George checked that the jack was in place and began wrenching it up.
When she finally finished changing the tire about an hour later, she was sweating again and even more grateful for the nice, cool outside air. She lowered the car to the ground, then picked up the jack and lug wrench, placing them in the trunk. When she turned around to grab the flat, a beautiful woman with long dark brown hair was standing practically where George had just been standing herself.
"Jesus!" George startled upon seeing her, reeling backwards into the trunk a little.
"No, I'm Duma. Are you with the Winchesters?" She got right to the point. George suddenly felt all the hairs on her arms stand on end; this woman definitely seemed familiar, but was she a demon or an angel? Or something else? George couldn't remember. She noticed that Duma was standing between her and the knife, which she'd stupidly left on the ground on the other side of the discarded tire.
Shit.
"The who?" George played dumb, trying to figure out what to do. The boys would be back any minute right? Duma was starting to give her a funny look, like she was studying her.
"What…" Duma paused, squinting her eyes and looking her slowly up and down, "what are you?"
"Excuse me?" George replied, a little dumbstruck--not to mention offended--by the question. She slowly placed her hand casually on the lip of the open trunk. She tried to dart her eyes down imperceptibly to where her hand was, searching for any weapons she might be able to grab. Duma started to slowly step closer to her, seemingly not noticing George's fingers moving toward the 3" tactical blade strapped just within reach.
"What are you?" Duma reached for her and George whipped the knife out of its holster, slicing it at her and causing her to jump back.
The little tourist shop was surprisingly busy. As Officers Page and Plant waited patiently to speak with the manager they'd asked for going on 20 minutes ago, Dean watched Sam closely.
"Not in the mood," George said, swiping at her again and taking a confident step forward as Duma retreated. "Now back off." George didn't notice the nameless angel minion that had appeared behind her and never saw the cosmic knockout coming.
-----
Finally Sam noticed and raised a perturbed eyebrow, "What?"
Dean smiled knowingly and shook his head, "Nothing."
"Good, then keep your eyes to yourself," Sam sneered at him. He was reeling from his last conversation with George. Despite his earlier convincing, he was now nearly positive she was the woman from his dream and it wasn't anything he wanted to discuss with Dean. Though, he felt like his brother could see the scarlet letter on his chest and it was putting him on edge.
Just then an aged, grey haired black man appeared at the counter and waved them over. He was tall with a little more weight around the middle than the rest of him and just the slightest hint of wrinkles along the sides of his face, denoting that the wide, friendly smile he was giving them was a typical look for him.
Dean chuckled and muttered, "Ooh, smitten Sammy is salty," as they walked up to the counter and flashed their badges at the man. Sam narrowed his eyes, biting back his response to focus on the job at hand.
"Can I help you, Officers?" The wrinkle-faced man asked, eyes scanning the police badges curiously.
"We're looking for a missing person," Dean stated as Sam held up his phone with a picture of Jack for the man to see. "There's a chance he's in some real danger. Have you seen him?"
The man looked carefully at the photo and then shook his head apologetically, "No sir, I don't believe I have. But there's a separate shack for our walking tour tickets. Molly's been out there working the window all day. If he came through she'll know."
"Thank you, how do we--?" Sam asked quickly, putting his phone away.
"Just go back out the way you came, follow the wooden fence along to the left, and you'll see a path for the walking tour," The man pointed the way with a renewed, jovial smile and they thanked him.
Exiting out the door, the brothers followed the man's directions until they found the walking tour shack. Behind the plexiglass window was an older woman they could only describe as a redneck hippie. What they could see of her outfit was jean overalls and a cotton tie-dye shirt. She had the tanned leathery skin of a woman who spent her life either working in or enjoying the outdoors, her bleach blonde hair was hair sprayed to heaven, had dark black roots, and her teeth were a muddy shade of smoker yellow. On the tip of her nose sat a pair of small, round, purple tinted glasses attached to a beaded chain around her neck and her overalls were covered in an eccentric mishmash of flair that included the NRA and the Grateful Dead.
Dean gave a charming smile and began, "Officers Page and Plant. Molly, I presume?"
"Hello Gentlemen," She greeted happily with a wide, appreciative smile, removing her glasses from her nose and laying them against her chest. When they lifted up their badges she raised a brow, "Oh, 'Officers,' I see."
"Everyday of my life. How can I be of service?" She was sizing them both up carefully, appraising them.
"We're looking for someone," Dean repeated as Sam held the phone up for Molly to see. "Have it on good authority he might have gone through here. Any chance you've seen him?"
Molly reached up and grabbed her glasses again. Slipping them on quickly, she leaned closer to the glass and inspected the photo.
"Hard to say," She started, squinting her eyes a bit. "But there was a baby faced young man that came through with his sister a little bit ago. Could be the same guy, but my eyes just ain't what they used ta be."
"How long ago?" Dean asked seriously.
"Maybe an hour?"
"How did he seem?"
"Quiet and moody," Molly shrugged, "typical for your average young boy dragged here by their family. Didn't think much of it, honestly."
"What did his sister look like?"
"Shorter than him, but just as pale. Long brown hair, brown eyes I think? I'd say mid-twenties. She looked about as thrilled to be here as he did."
"Did they buy tickets?" Sam asked quickly.
"Sure did," Molly nodded. "Paid cash, asked for the fastest route to the wilderness trail." She picked up a map sitting in the display case in front of her, then grabbed a pen and drew out directions quickly, as though she'd done it a thousand times before. Handing the map through the small cutout in her window, she stated, "These are the directions I gave them."
"Thank you very much for your assistance, Molly," Sam said sincerely, grabbing the map and taking a few steps back, ready to head toward Jack.
"No problem, Officer," Molly said with a sweet smile, then turned to Dean and said, "Listen, I have a granddaughter you'd be perfect for." Dean raised an intrigued eyebrow, a charming smile appearing on his face as Molly reached up above the plexiglass and yanked a photo down from the shelf. Holding it out for Dean to see, she suggested, "Maybe the two of us can figure out a way to get her away from her no good, crank dealing boyfriend, eh?"
Initially interested, Dean moved closer to the photo and then wrenched back quickly, "Molly… Uh… how old is--"
"Sheila. She'll be 17 in October. Ain't she a beauty?" Molly grinned proudly. Dean and Sam both tried to hold back grimaces.
"Oh, of course, I understand," Molly nodded quickly and grabbed up a pen and another map, scribbling a note and handing it through the plexiglass. "Here's her SnapChat. She's always looking for new friends!"
"Well, she certainly takes after her grandmother, doesn't she?" Was all Dean could think to say. Luckily Molly was clearly flattered and he added quickly, "But, uh, we're on official police business right now, so I can't real--"
Dean, masking his horror like a pro, took the glossy, folded piece of evidence and nodded, "Thanks, Molly. You've been a real help."
"Anything for you, Officer!" She called after them as he took a few steps to catch up with Sam and the two of them began heading down the trail.
After tossing Dean's map in the first trash can they could find out of eye-shot of Molly, they followed Sam's map for about a mile along the trail before coming to a split. The two of them looked first left then right. The left path went straight around the mountain, the right path wound up the mountain in a zigzag pattern.
Sam checked the map again, "OK, she directed them this way," he pointed toward the left.
"Hold on," Dean said, having turned around. He was now facing about 90 degrees to the left of the left path. "You see this?" Sam turned to look and saw a line in the surrounding ground ivy that looked like a man made path. It clearly wasn't as used as the other two and it wasn't on the map.
"What about it? Molly sai-"
"Look," Dean instructed, pointing into the forest. As Sam scanned the area Dean was pointing at, Dean started slowly following the small, easily missable path. He followed him, still not seeing anything of interest, and they walked about 40 feet before Sam finally noticed a patch of dark green that looked decidedly unnatural against the normal foliage.
As they got closer it became clear that what they were seeing was a dark green nylon winter coat. The coat was attached to a body that was crumpled on its side, as though tossed into the vegetation in a hasty effort to hide it. Drawing their weapons, they approached carefully. Dean got there first, finding a small, fair skinned, brown haired woman.
"Jack's 'sister'?" Dean asked bending down to place two fingers on the young woman's neck, though she was very clearly dead.
"That's Tilly!" Sam said sharply, finally catching up.
"You mean, it was Tilly," Dean looked at him curiously.
Sam grimaced and explained, "Another refugee. She's been training with us. I thought she was on a Wraith hunt with Steiner and Green."
"So, what's she doing here?" Dean asked, standing up straight again.
"And why did Jack come with her? They hardly know each other." The two of them quickly swept the immediate area for any clues but found nothing more. Moving her body farther out of sight for the time being, they then continued cautiously forward along the path.

The Twilight Sad pick 10 essential tracks by The Cure
Most fans simply have to make do with adoring their favourite bands from afar, but in this instance, The Twilight Sad may be one of the luckiest bands on the planet. Not only did The Cure's Robert Smith record a spine-chilling cover of 'There's A Girl In The Corner', but he personally handpicked them to support them on the entire of their world arena tour.
With this in mind, naturally the Gigwise favourites The Twilight Sad found it really rather difficult to choose just 10 of their all time most essential songs by the band, but we thank frontman James Graham and guitarist Andy MacFarlane for giving it their best shot.
"Trying to pick your top 10 songs by The Cure is impossible, but here are 10 from our long list of favourite ones," said Andy. Good luck...
ANDY MACFARLANE:
‘At Night’
"This is one of those songs I wish I had written for The Twilight Sad. Even though it was released four years before I was born, it sounds like it could have been written and recorded yesterday. It's been sounding amazing when they have been playing it on this tour."
‘A Night Like This’
"When we were touring No One Can Ever Know (known as 'the disastour'), I would listen to The Head On The Door a lot, especially this song. Even though it reminds me of a shite time, I still think it's such a great song."
‘Disintegration’
"The chords and melodies in this song are so well-written and arranged, I've tried to rip it off many times but not came close to doing anything half as good."
‘All I Want’
"I used to always soundcheck with this song."
‘Fire In Cairo’
"They've written so many catchy pop songs, and this is a good example of that. It's a good one to put on down the pub."
JAMES GRAHAM:
‘Pictures Of You’
"This isn't just one of my favourite Cure songs, it's one of my favourite songs of all time. It has everything I'd want to capture in one song. I listen to it on my good days and it makes me feel even better. I listen to it on my bad days and it makes me think of people in my life I've lost or miss, which is ultimately a good thing as I like to remember them. Also, good things usually come out of my bad days. Getting to listen to it live every night so far on tour has been very special."
‘Lullaby’
"Disintegration was the first record I bought by The Cure. I was five when it was released and I didn't hear it until I was in high school. The first time I listened to it I felt like I knew all the songs already. What can I say about this song that hasn't been said before....nothing...it is brilliant."
‘Primary’
"As I said, Disintegration was the first record I bought by The Cure (Andy always winds me up and says it was The Greatest Hits). After that I worked my way back and bought the earlier albums. I've been listening to Faith a lot recently. This choice was either between ‘All Cats Are Grey’ or ‘Primary’. The reason I picked ‘Primary’ was that they played it the other night and it was perfect."
‘The Hanging Garden’
"A month before we came out on tour I listened to Pornography at least three times a week. It reminds of the time we were writing our second record, it wasn't my favourite time of my life and listening to Pornography helped which sounds strange as it’s considered The Cure's darkest album but I'm weird like that. Looking back, I think our second record (Forget The Night Ahead) is our darkest sounding record...which now makes sense."
‘A Forest’
"We come from a couple of small villages in Scotland called Kilsyth and Banton. When we were around 17 or 18, we started to go into Glasgow for nights out and we discovered indie discos. Before that we'd go to someone’s house or up the hills to drink and listen our favourite bands. I remember being in an indie disco for the first time and seeing people dancing and loving the songs that we would listen to at home. Nobody our age where we're from really listened to the same kind of music as us, so it was amazing to see people react to the music we loved in this way. ‘A Forest’ was a song I remember seeing people losing their minds to."

The Southsider (pt. 9)
Sweet Pea x reader
Chapter Summary: As y/n prepares for an important event in her life, her humor stirs up some interesting reactions from those she cares for.
Word Count: 1978
Chapter 1 • Chapter 8 • Chapter 10
Toni taught you the main moves, and you were determined to perfect them. Some of the dance had to be from your own creativity, which you figured out along the way. This had to be perfect. Not just for Sweet Pea, but for you. "Alright, I think we could take a break. And by break I mean we're going lingerie shopping."
You nervously nodded. When you got there you just felt like none of them would look good on you. You felt awkward there. If you felt uncomfortable in a crop top for one person how were you supposed to wear this stuff in front of a group of people?
"Have you found anything?" Toni asked, poking her head out of an isle row.
"No. I don't think I'll look good in any of these." You sadly looked at the items.
She walked up to you with a few outfits in hand. "Why not?"
"I don't know. Just never been a big fan of my body I guess. It was only a few years ago when I had to cover up to hide the bruises covering my body."
She put a hand on your shoulder. "But there aren't any more bruises to cover up. Your dad's gone now and your body's thriving. You should be proud of having control over it. Now c'mon, I found a few things for you to try on."
You went into the dressing room, trying on each of them and showing them to Toni. Toni reassured you that you looked good in all of them, but you both agreed that none of them were really perfect for you. "This is stupid." You called through the dressing room.
"No it's not, now come on out. This is the last one anyways."
You stepped outside. Toni looked you over, nodding her head. "I like this one. I like it a lot."
"Really?"
"Yeah. This is the one." She grabbed your hand and spun you around. "Let's see that dance." Toni joked.
You hopped around, overexageratily rubbing your arms. "I'm not used to this much air hitting my body!" You partially joked. "It's so cold in here." She laughed and pushed you back in the dressing room.
You changed back and paid for the outfit. "It's getting late. Hopefully FP and Jughead will be asleep and won't see this."
You both walked back to the trailer park. As you both stopped at Jughead's trailer, Toni then said. "Y/n?"
"Yeah?"
"Pea's gonna love it." You blushed and playfully pushed her. She laughed at the reaction and walked back to her trailer.
You opened the door slowly. The lights were off. As you closed the door the lights clicked on, and you saw the two boys sitting on the couch. "Hey guys."
"Now where have you been?" FP asked.
"With Toni, like I said."
"What's in the bag?" Jughead asked.
"Nothing important." You put the bag next to your duffle bag and laid down on the small air mattress that was set up. "Night."
"Y/n." FP said in a harsh tone. You sat up, knowing he wasn't in the mood for games. "Where were you?"
"With Toni." You urged. "You could even ask her grandfather Thomas."
"That bag doesn't look like English homework to me."
You sighed. "Look, I went over to Toni's, learned some stuff, then we made a quick shopping run. I worked for the money that I spent, if that's what this is about."
"Were you with Sweet Pea?" His asked loudly, ignoring all that you said.
You gave him a really? look. "No."
"See? I told you." Jughead said. He started to get up. "We stayed up for nothing."
"Sit boy." He pulled him back down. "What's in the bag?"
You didn't want to argue or get him mad, so you grabbed the bag. FP tried to snatch it your hands, but you pulled it back, handing it to Jughead. He looked into the bag, before yanking his hand out right away. He got it. "Dad, she was with Toni."
He ripped the bag from his son's hands. "Give it here boy."
He pulled out the lingerie and stood, throwing it to the ground when he realized what it was. "What the hell is that?!"
"Careful, it was pricey!" You exclaimed. Jughead held in a laugh.
"So this is what you're doing now?" You nodded your head, a little confused. He didn't get it. "You used to be smart and open eyed, and now this is what you're doing? Sweet Pea's got you doing this sort of crap?!"
You bursted out laughing. "You think that Swee-!" you cut yourself off laughing more. You sat next to Jughead, putting a hand on his shoulder. You calmed down a bit, pointing to FP and the lingerie. "He thought that I got that for Sweet Pea~!" You started laughing again. Jughead couldn't help but laugh a little bit as well.
"Someone wanna tell me what the hell is so funny?!" FP was getting angrier.
You calmed yourself down. "Thank you for that laugh, it felt really good." You then sat up straight. "No, I did not buy that for Sweet Pea. I bought that for the serpent dance."
He put a hand to his mouth, digesting what you said. "The Serpent dance?"
"Yup."
"So you're gonna become a serpent?"
"Just like mummy." You gave him a cheeky smile.
"Oh." He let out a big sigh. "I just figured, cause it's Sweet Pea, you know?"
"No, I really don't." You turned to Jughead. "Why does everyone see Sweet Pea as some dark, controlling person with a knife kink or something?"
"I honestly don't know." He responded. "I don't see it either."
You nodded. "You think he'd like the outfit though?"
FP cut the conversation short. "Bed, now." You and Jughead lightly laughed as you all then went to sleep.
The next morning you woke up a lot earlier than the other two. Whenever you slept in a place you weren't used to sleeping in, you always woke up very early. You decided to make the most out of the time you had, and went to your duffle bag.
Jughead woke up the best way he could. He smelled bacon. He walked into the kitchen, groggy and tired, to see you practically shining. "Morning." You smiled at him. "I made pancakes, bacon, and sour bread french toast. What would you like?"
"The works." He sat, a plate of stacked food put in front of him. You knew him too well. He dug in as FP came out of the bathroom and sat down as well, a plate being put in front of him.
He turned off the stove and plugged in a small fan to not make the whole trailer hot. "Where'd you learn to make all this?" FP asked.
"Practice at my house. When it's just you, you don't have to feel bad for screwing up someone else's meal. I got better overtime."
After breakfast you washed the dishes as Jughead combed his hair. "So, you ready for our double date?"
You made a face. "Ugh, that's today. Why was Betty so excited for it?"
"I don't know. She's been talking about getting to know Sweet Pea because one of our best friends is dating him. She said it'll be good for the Southside to stop hating the Northside so much by southsiders getting to know her."
Oh Betty. Such a sweet heart of gold.
When you got to school Kevin immediately came up to you, linking arms. "Oh my God, we have so much to talk about."
"So you heard?"
"From Veronica, who heard from Betty, who heard from Jughead. I knew that wrinkly, sack of bones aunt was evil. Okay, no offense, but her inside kind of shows on her outside."
You laughed. "None taken. I agree, when I look at her I see my mom if she was buried in pet sematary and came back."
He laughed as well. "As much as I love talking about the Wicked Witch of the West and the Good Witch of the South, I wanted to ask you something."
"Go ahead."
"As you know, I'm directing the musical for this year, which I have selected to be Carrie: the Musical."
You nodded. "And a good choice too. I think we all know who's going to be lead."
"Pretty much, but there is another role that I think will be perfect for a certain person."
"Which is?"
"I want you to play the role of Chris Hargensen!" He smiled brightly as you, anxious. You loved musicals, but you weren't much for performing in front of others. However, seeing the smile on Kevin's face caused you to give in. You would do anything for Kevin. He was your best friend.
"Sure." You smiled back.
He excitedly hugged you. "Oh my God, this is perfect. It's a good thing you said yes, because I already wrote down the cast list and was on my way to post it on the bulletin board."
"Gee thanks."
"It's fine, Veronica was going to be my backup in case you said no." Kevin took out the paper from his satchel and posted it, people shoving past the two of you to see the list. "First meeting starts tomorrow after school."
The bell rang. "Alrighty then. I'll see you later."
The day went by a little too quickly for your likely. School ended, and Betty told you to meet them at Pop's at 4. You walked out of the PE locker rooms, which happens to be your sixth period, to see Sweet Pea waiting for you. "How are you so quick?"
"I'm just that good sweetheart." He smirked.
You laughed and lightly nudged his shoulder. "No need to brag. I was close behind you." He only responded with an unsure sounding Mm. You fake pout.
"Put the pout away." He hugged you from behind as the both of you walked to his motorcycle. "I'm here." You snapped your head and looked at him with a wild smile. He didn't know whether to be confused or nervous.
"That was the most adorable thing I have every heard! I fell for a teddy bear."
He felt offended. "I'm not a teddy bear, I'm a serpent. Nobody adorable would have a neck tattoo."
You giggled. "So cute."
You made it to his bike, and he grumpily let go of you to hop on, but you grabbed his hand to stop him. He sighed and leaned on the bike. You leaned onto him, his hands unconsciously finding your waist.
"I know you're not just a cuddly teddy bear. You're tall and dark and brooding and a mystery that people can't seem to solve. You're a badass who has a neck tattoo. You're a serpent. I know all that, but I also know that you can be a softie sometimes, and there's nothing wrong with that."
He then gently said, "I'm only soft for you."
You were about to kiss before you heard laughing. You pulled back and saw Fangs standing right next to the two of you. "I'm only soft for you? Yeah, that's something any chick would want to hear." You both stared at him, Sweet Pea fuming. "Oh, right, I'm not here."
Sweet Pea then quickly got up and chased Fangs through the parking lot as you patiently waited for your boyfriend while leaning on his bike. When he came back breathing hard with ruffled hair you smiled. "You good now?"
He walked straight up to you and pulled you in for a deep kiss. You were surprised, but quickly reciprocated. When he pulled back you were gasping for breath.
"All good. Let's go to that damn double date." You were still in a daze and extremely flustered, so all you did was nod and grab onto him as the two of you sped off.

[?] Days of K-ristmas: Day 3*
aka
The K-List: #12
*(if you have no idea what I'm talking abt with this "[?] Days of K-ristmas" thing the very longwinded explanation is here lmao)
Fireworks
ASTRO
Okay so unlike with BTS and Monsta X there wasn't really a "song that made me stan" with Astro. I didn't happen to hear a song and be like "oh I should get into this group" my situation was that I had already decided I wanted to stan when I actively went looking for them because someone I knew told me her favorite group was Astro and I decided to stan them so I could have something to talk about with her (which I've already talked all about here)
Of course from the very first MV (Hide & Seek naturally) I watched when I first started looking into them I fell in love at first sight/sound and that decision to stan was only solidified, but yeah
And of course I COULD spend 100,000 words gushing about Hide & Seek bc she is my queen and I will love her until the day I die. But I know I already talk about her way to much and I feel like it would only be humane to you guys if I talk about something else. lmao 😂
Another thing is that there were only ~20ish days between me first getting into Astro and when All Light dropped and I did spend most of that time watching guides and learning about the boys and listening to mostly the title tracks (and of course when All Light dropped that's all I listened to for like. 2 months) so I had definitely LISTENED to their full discography during those first few weeks and I had at least HEARD all of their b-sides. But I hadn't spent too much time and thought into actually trying to pick out 'hmmm what are some of my favorite b-sides' ya know??
Anyway I had a super hard time picking which song to do for this post. Bc like. Astro has produced nothing but bops their whole careers?? It's very tough to pick just one to talk about
I was like "well I love all the titles but I wanna shine a light on something that isn't a title track" and then I was like "hmmm maybe 붙잡았어야 해?? technically it is a title but it doesn't have an MV....." (plus it was a song that I really latched onto in particular and I watched the dance practice a million times and watching Rocky in that video is the first thing that made me fall in love with him 👀 so yeah that song does have a special place in my heart 💗) but I decided to try to actually pick a b-side bc they have so many lovely b-sides that don't get talked about as much
And then I was like "well I could talk about one of my favorite b-sides from All Night..." because I definitely had some clear favorite b-sides from All Night (since I was just listening to the same 10 songs on repeat for days on end, meaning I was hearing the same songs multiple times a day and it was much easier to pick out favorite b-sides from one album then trying to pick out favorite b-sides from all of their older discography you know?) But I was like "I wanna try to pic something from their earlier days just cause, people have talked about the songs on All Night enough this year, let's talk about something from one of their mini albums"
Anyway
Yeah I had a tough time picking (물들어 and Morning Call were 2 other really close candidates so SO to them!)
I picked Fireworks because it makes me feel really nostalgic. Even tho I wasn't an Aroha when it first came out in 2016 it still makes my heart so warm to see a performance from back then and see how young they look but how talented they were even back then! And they've come so far since then too!!!! I just 🤧💗💗💗
And Rocky choreographed it! He did such a good job I'm so proud of him 💗
I love both Rocky and Jinjin's raps in it
And Sanha's pre-chorus (is it part of the chorus? Idek) part? Gosh his voice is literally so angelic I'm so proud of my lil babey string bean 🤧💗💗💗
Like they all sound so beautiful! Eunwoo's stripped down opening at the beginning before the instrumentals really come in??? And Bin's sounds so good on the verses
And the "I can fly, make you smile" part just??? Yeah you can MJ!!! You 6 always make me smile so much even when I'm having a hard time and I feel so happy to have become a fan of you guys and I feel so blessed to have had this past year of stanning and now I'm getting emo ajdjksla
Plus!!!! something I didn't even notice until today when I was watching videos and looking up lyrics today to try to make a decision about what song I wanted to write about today, this is Rocky's last rap part:
Time and memories
Honestly, they’re nothing now
Meeting you like this
Receiving the beautiful stars as a gift
My heart, it wonders
(And the MJ finishes the thought with the final chorus:
I wonder if I’m starlight, but it’s only a dream / I want to walk with you, you make my heart flutter / This summer night memory)
(bold purple by me for emphasis!!!)
I mean like I just got really emo reading that
Because I feel like it was such a blessing in my life "meeting" Astro like that last year (and because of them I've been blessed to meet so many amazing friends!!!!)
I've recieved 6 beautiful shining stars as a gift into my life 🤧💗
🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
💗💗💗💗💗💗
#i just. love them a lot#happy arohaversary to me!!! i'm legit so happy you guys!#astro/aroha really means so much to me 💗#astro#aroha#kpop#astro fireworks#the k-list#[?] days of k-ristmas#kjersten talks too much#and... now i'm crying

Young Danny's POV
"Dan! Dinners ready!" My mom yells from downstairs. "I'll be right there!" I pause my game and make my way down. It's been freezing in my room lately, New Jersey winter really taking a toll on our house. The heater isn't installed yet, though I wish it was. I only have so many blankets.
"Dana, Leigh, there's new neighbors across the street. They've been here for about a week, I met the woman and her fiance last night, but her kids weren't home. I think it'd be a good idea to welcome them all. After dinner we'll all go down together. Is that a good idea?" My mom and dad have always been really nice like that. I feel wave of anxiety rush over me, it's not that I don't want to meet them, I just feel weird going to their house just to introduce ourselves. Dana nods her head and goes back to eating her soup, so content with her life. I'm not looking forward to this...
After we all finish eating, my mother tells us to get ready and look decent for the neighbors. What would 'decent' be? A regular shirt with jeans? I'll be in my jacket so I guess it really doesn't matter. After I get myself together, I walk downstairs to see Mom and Dad waiting for me and Dana. "Alright, let's go guys!" Dana comes out of her room dressed and ready as well. "I'm ready!" She yells with her childish voice. At least she's excited, because I'm not.
*ding ding dong ding*
A woman opens the door with a smile. "Oh, hello Debbie! What brings you here?" My mom smiles back at the woman, "I thought we could all come welcome you to the neighborhood!" The woman looks shocked a bit before she opens the door wide and invited us all in. "So this is my husband, call him Avi, my daughter Dana, and my son Leigh. He likes to be called Daniel, though." The woman smiles and shakes my dad's hand and mine. Dana has gotten a little bit shy, so the woman kneels down to her height. "Hi Dana, I'm (y/m/n). I work with kids your age all the time! You know, we have a pet turtle, his name is Cheesy. Would you like to meet him?" Dana's eyes light up at what (y/m/n) said. She nods her head frantically as the woman points to a glass talk with rocks and a little bit of water. "He's right there. Go ahead and talk to him!" As Dana runs to look at, what I assume is Cheesy, the woman turns back to us. "My fiance is at work right now. But my daughter and son are here. Y/N!" (Y/m/n) yells upstairs. "I'm coming!!" A little voice yells back. A girl came downstairs into view. She looks my age, but I haven't seen her at school, is she new? "This is my daughter, y/n. My younger son, Jacob is taking a nap in his room. Shes been working on her room all day." My mom smiles at y/n, "hey y/n! How old are you? Do you go to school here yet?" Y/n looks down, clearly a little shy. "I'm 12 years old... I don't go to school yet here, I'm new, I kind of don't want to." She states truthfully. She's only a year younger than me, but she seems very mature for a 12 year old. Then again, I'm kind of mature for a 13 year old.
As time goes on, y/n and her mom start breaking out of their she'll a little bit. Ms (y/l/n) says they just moved here from (h/t), she left her husband a while back and met a man who lived here. So I guess the man who lives here now isn't y/n's and Jacob's actual dad. Something about that is really sad to me, I have both of my parents. I can't really imagine what it's like to only have one in your life. "Is y/n going to go to the same school as Leigh?" I knew that question would come up. And turns out, yes she will. I'm not really complaining. At least she'll have one person she knows. I'm not entirely popular at all, but at least she won't be alone. Y/n looks at me and smiles. She really does have a sweet smile.
~later that night~
"Debbie, she's out there again! Poor kid, I hope she's okay." My dad calls out to my mom. "She's out there almost every night. Do you think she's okay?" I get curious and look at the time. 10:18 pm. Who would be out this late? Sure, it's a Saturday, but it's so cold outside this time. It's probably going to snow soon. I walk out to my mom and dad to see what's going on. "Who's outside?" Mom points out the window and I look out to see a figure sitting in the empty driveway across the street. "Almost every night, y/n just sits on the cold driveway. Her mom works graveyard shifts a lot. I wouldn't doubt it if she's home alone, poor thing." My mom puts her hand over her heart and looks down, her motherly instincts kicking in. "Leigh, could you please go out there and see if she's okay? She's always out there for hours at a time." I comply to what my mom says, mostly because I don't want to disappoint her by saying no. Also, I'm a little curious as well as to why she's out in the cold so late.
Y/n POV
Space is so cool. I've loved the stars and planets since I was a baby. On the nights when my mom is working, Jacob stays with my stepdad at his place. He's only 5, I get it. At this point I'm used to being alone. It's not a bad thing. I like it. When I was younger my dad would always leave me by myself so he could work. I was old enough to take care of myself though, little 7 year old me. I would do this back then as well. Sit outside and look at the sky. Even on days when the sky would be covered by clouds, I'd still stare In wonder above.
I hear a door close across the street and a skinny boy huddled up in jackets walk out of it. I hope he's not coming here, I'm not good with boys one on one. They make me feel awkward. Plus, he's a good looking boy. That makes it way worse. "Y/n, right?" He's standing right above me. I smile slightly, "Yeah, that's right. Aren't you cold?" He's very skinny, probably doesn't have body heat of his own like me. Im on the thicker side of the wall when it comes to looks. I'll probably always will be, but that okay. "Yes I'm freezing. But I saw you out here and I thought I should ask if you're okay."
I look up at him, "I'm okay. I just like looking at the stars. I'd rather be out here looking at the sky than in a quiet house." I tell him truthfully. "Are you home alone?" I nod and smile. "Yea, my mom works at the children's hospital and my little brother is with my stepdad at his house. I dont go because my stepsisters don't really like me. Which is fine, I don't really like them either." He sits down by me, criss crossed and hands in his pockets. "Are you okay on your own, though? My mom is worried too." His mom? Why would she be worried about me? I guess I am out here a lot. "Tell your mom im fine, and thank you for worrying. I appreciate that." He looks back to his house and then to me again. "Do you want me to sit here with you for a bit?" I smile again, "Sure. Just don't get frostbite in my driveway." He laughs and I join in as well.
~1997~
Y/n POV
I've known Dan for almost 6 years now. Since that night he'd be sitting on my driveway with me any chance we could. He's grown up a lot, but so have I. I'm proud of him, really. He just graduated high school, the only thing is, he's leaving for college. I still have 12th grade left. It sucks, my best friend is leaving. In the 6 years I've known him, I've grown to have a massive crush on him. He's gotten a lot taller, his hair has grown more, he's just this tall silly nerd. I'm not one for cliche cheesiness... But I really do love him. The times hes had girlfriends, it's been pretty painful. There's been more than a few nights when I'm on the driveway alone, or I'd have to eat lunch with Joe and Dylan alone because he'd be out with his girlfriend at that time. I'd be in pain, but I would never let it get to me. If he's had other girlfriends, it's clear he doesn't like me like that. And that's fine, I'm okay with just being his friend. As long as he's in my life at all I'm okay.
But he's leaving.
Dan's POV
My last night here in New Jersey is tonight. The flight for Boston leaves tomorrow morning, early as hell too. I'd have to go to bed soon if I really want to catch it. My room looks so empty... All my memories of growing up are in this exact house. I went to go see Ms (y/l/n) earlier today and say goodbye before she went to work, even said bye to Jacob. Y/n wasn't there, (y/m/n) said she was at band practice. I told her not to worry, I'll probably see y/n tonight since I usually sit with her in her driveway at night. Luckily, it's not cold anymore. Summer weather keeping me cool enough to not wear shorts, though. I walk out and see y/n sitting where she usually sits. Except now with a cat in he shirt to keep the cat warm in the cool weather. She looks up at me and waves, and I can't help but smile a little and wave back before starting to walk over.
If I had a choice, I'd take her with me. She's my best friend, I don't want to leave her alone. Joe and Dylan are leaving as well, she'll be alone at school and she'd have no one to sit with at night in her driveway. 6 years spent with her, and I wouldn't want to change it for the world. She's a really good friend.
"Hey.." she says, careful not to wake the cat in her lap. "Hey, I'm leaving tomorrow morning.. I wanted to come say bye to the cat." I say jokingly. She rolls her eyes and nudges my leg as I sit beside her. "Shut up, Dan. I can't believe it, you're going to college." I can't help but agree. I shake out my hair a little bit. "Yup. I really want to be a musician, but my dad said hed pay for my college if I go into advertising. I really don't want to, but I cant pay for myself on my own." She pets the cat again and shrugs. "Soon enough, you will be a musician. You'll have thousands of fans, be on stage rocking out like you've always wanted. You'll have people recognize you in the street wanting a picture and an autograph. You'll be so successful, as long as you put your passion in it." I can't help but smile at her. That is my dream, always has been. "It's gonna be weird without you guys. Senior year... I have one more year before I leave too," she looks at the sky again. "It's kinda scary. I won't be a kid anymore. Growing up in general is scary." I grab her shoulder and look in her eyes. "Hey don't talk like that. You're gonna be a great voice actress like you've always wanted to be. You might even become a singer too. You have to put passion in it too. You'll be in all your favorite anime shows, and video games. You can do it too. Don't forget that." She looks down and nods. "I will. Hey promise me something though." I look at her and encourage her to go on. "Don't forget about me. I know you're gonna grow up and find all the success in the world, just don't forget about this time in your life. Our friendship, who you are. Don't forget, please." I give her a sad smile and lean in to hug her. "I could never forget about you. You're one of my best friends. Don't worry. I'll keep in touch as much as possible, I promise." She smiles and hugs back. I start to walk back to the house when I hear her call my name again, "Dan!......." I turn back to her and she looks down before looking back up to me. "Be safe out there." She stares at me and I nod. "You too, y/n.."
To be continued?~
