It's a sad day for everyone who doesn't get to kiss me. My lips taste like coconut cake.
#Mmmmmm#I'm digging myself right now.#Is sweet tasting lips even a flex? I think it just proves that I'm a little bit of a messy eater.#I dunno. That chick in IWTV saying 'My lips are even sweeter still.' and all the fics about sweet tasting lips.#Is that a vibe? Is that what the bitches love?#I dunno. Kissing grosses me out. I am NOT kissing ANYONE so EVERYONE is missing out on my coconut cake lips.#Sentiments of a vampire.

@blupjeansweek day 6: family
Lup slips out the door to the small balcony, letting the cacophonous laughter stay inside for a while. She lowers herself to the ground and lets the cool breeze flow through her hair. Having everyone over to her tiny apartment sounded good in theory but in practice, it’s a bit much. She loves having them all here, of course; it’s been so long since they’ve all been together. Distance and everyone being functional adults with jobs makes it hard.
Video calls and texts and letters are great substitutes but nothing quite beats hugging Taako until he starts swatting her forehead or playing rummy with Davenport’s deck of cards that’s older than Lup is. But eventually the air in the apartment got a little too hot and still for Lup’s liking. She gazes up at the moon and takes some deep breaths.
She doesn’t turn as the door behind her creaks open and closed again.
“Babe? You okay?” Barry asks as he settles down next to her on the balcony. She leans against him and nods.
“Yeah, it’s just taking a little out of me. I love family time but all the questions can get overwhelming. It feels like my life’s being evaluated using a very cryptic rubric, you know?”
He shifts and wraps his arm around her, bringing her in closer. “I get it. Have you told anyone yet?”
She shakes her head before all but burying her face in his chest. “Didn’t wanna do it without you. And I’m nervous.”
He laughs quietly and kisses the top of her head. “Aw babe, how come?”
“I dunno, just feels like a big thing. And it is a big thing. But they’re all here asking about graduation and jobs and shit and that’s great but I just wanna talk about us.”
“Then let’s go do it. I’m right here with you, okay?”
Lup takes his hand and kisses his knuckles. “Yeah, okay. I’d like that.”
Barry carefully detangles himself from Lup and rises, offering his hand to her. She squeezes his hand tight before he leads them both back into the cramped apartment.
“—And then I was asked to leave the Home Depot but I wasn’t given a ban like at Walmart, so I consider that a win!” Merle says from his perch on the arm of the couch.
“You know, I’m actually glad I missed whatever the hell that was,” Lup remarks as she and Barry rejoin the group. “And before you can give me any context, I do just wanna say how happy I am to have you all here. It’s always way too long in between visits. I hate being adults.”
“It’s honestly rude that jobs have to come before getting to see the handful of clowns I actually like hanging around,” Taako affirms as he hoists himself onto the kitchen counter.
“It is. But I do hope you’re all going to be free next June. The first, specifically.”
“What’s going on then?” Magnus asks, setting his stack of cards down; from what Lup can tell, he was already losing pretty badly to both Davenport and Lucretia.
She tightens her grip on Barry’s hand and grins wide. “Barry and I are getting married!”
“No fucking way!” Taako launches himself off the counter to sweep Lup up into a hug. Almost immediately, everyone else falls in until they’re all a gross group hug. “Didn’t think Barold here would ever pop the question.”
“Well, he did! So you all better put in time off requests and shit soon because I’m not letting any of you miss this,” Lup says seriously.
“We wouldn’t dream of missing it, don’t worry,” Davenport smiles at the pair before giving Barry a firm handshake.
“So, I’ll catch you both up on the Walmart story before I get to the Home Depot story,” Merle says as he launches back into his tales of garden section hijinks.
Lup cringes but wouldn’t trade any of this for the world.

masterlist
“You’re very calm for someone with a gun to their head.”
Honestly, you had been thinking the same thing. Sure, your stomach feels like a snake pit and your hands are sweating and you don’t think you’ve ever been more aware of your own heart beat, but other than that - you don’t understand why you aren’t panicking more. There are three men standing in front of you, one behind, all with guns. They’re wearing matching leather jackets with an octo-head patch on the sleeve, and they all look very scary. Briefly, you wonder if Bucky has a jacket like this, with a patch on to match his family. It’s an irrelevant detail you can’t help but fixate on right now.
Bucky. Hopefully listening on the other end of the phone you have tucked in your back pocket which your kidnappers haven’t been bothered to check yet, thankfully. You flex your wrists against the zip ties holding you to a chair and ask, “Where am I?”
“You should know,” your stalker turned kidnapper says with a condescending sneer. “You followed me here.”
“The Lerna?” you clarify, for the sake of hopefully someone on the other end of your mobile picking it up. You glance around at the old-style bar; chipped wood and beer stains, a rickety pool table one of your stalker’s friends is using as an arm rest. You curl your nose up at it - a little proudly, you note it has nothing on Sam’s bar.
“Do you recognise the place?” your stalker asks. That throws you. You want to ask what he means by that, why you would recognise this gross bar you’ve never stepped foot in, but you clench your teeth and school your face.
Once your dad sat you down in a chair much like this one, in his office at the house you grew up in. You were eleven, maybe, and you didn’t quite understand why he was tying your hands to the back with a necktie but you went along with it. He did this, sometimes - would orchestrate some strange lesson when his nightmares got really bad, his ghosts chasing him inside the house until he saw enemies in lampshades and kitchen cabinets. To keep you safe, he would say, and then he sat opposite you and asked what you would do if anyone ever put you in this position against your will.
“Kroshka, they will use anything against you,” he had said, and you see that now with the way these men are looking at you for any weakness. But you didn’t understand then, you were a kid thinking your dad was spiralling again, so he had cast around until he found a beer bottle on the coffee table. “See, like this. When the label is flat it’s fine, but as soon as one little corner lifts you can’t help it - you have to peel it all the way off. Don’t give them any corners, kroshka.”
You blink, once. The man in front of you scowls when you don’t answer, presses forward into your space in a show of intimidation. You try not to flinch, but that fear you were missing before is starting to set in real fast. What did he mean, do you recognise it? And why the hell are you so prepared for a situation like this, almost as if your dad has been training you for it since you could remember?
“Fine,” your stalker says, his breath fanning over you with how he’s leaning into your space. “Maybe you can answer something else, about your boyfriend.”
“Dunno who you’re talking about,” you say. It’s not a lie - technically, you hadn’t had the ‘boyfriend-girlfriend’ chat with Bucky yet. This man is not appreciative of your loopholes. He grabs your hair and yanks your head back, pressing his glock into your neck. You shiver, both at the pain and the cold of the metal. Through gritted teeth and mild hyperventilation, you say, “As a matter of fact, I dunno who you are either. That’s kinda weird, dontcha think?”
You can practically hear Bucky in your head telling you to shut up, but he’s not here right now. No corners, just like your dad said. Doesn’t mean you can’t try and find some corners of your own.
What you meant as a question to buy some time, with a bit of attitude on the side, sends your stalker reeling back from you. He’s confused, eyebrows drawn down low and his friends behind him look to each other with the same expression. Now, you’re confused as well. Everyone in the room stands (or sits, in your particular predicament) in a pure state of what the fuck is going on. It would be funny, if there wasn’t still a gun to the back of your head.
“You don’t know the patch?” the man asks, gesturing to the sleeve of his jacket. When you don’t respond he continues, slowly, reiterating his question from before but as a statement, “You don’t recognise this place.”
You have zero idea what’s going on, but whatever you’ve said seems have thrown your kidnappers for a bit of a loop, so you decide to roll with it. You say, and hope to god the man standing behind you doesn’t shoot you for it, “I’m starting to think you’ve lost control of this situation, pal.”
From the corner of the room behind you, a familiar husky-toned red head says, “Funny, I was thinking the same thing.”
Shots ring out, shattering the windows as one by one your stalker’s friends drop like dominos. Someone crouches behind you and cuts you lose with a knife, and you hear it clatter to the floor as they launch over the back of your chair feet first into your stalker. Natasha. The flash of her red hair over your shoulder as she sends him flying is unmistakable. You scramble from the chair, fumbling for the knife she dropped but your hand slides through something thick, wet. The man behind you with the gun lies dead, throat slit, his blood now all over your fingers. It mesmerises you in a sickening way, making your stomach turn and your vision go fuzzy.
You’d never seen a dead body before. Now they are all around you, the bar smelling like blood instead of beer and the sound of bullets pinging off glass the only noise other than Natasha grappling with your stalker. She’s so small compared to him but she has her thighs clenched around his throat and he gasps for breath, clawing at her legs. You watch, stunned, as he gets a grip on her and throws her off, sending her crashing into the wall with a groan.
She hits the floor and you see red - all you can think is that’s Bucky’s family and that man is walking towards her, his gun trained on her body as she tries to pull herself to her feet, so you stop thinking at all. You picture the back of your stalker's neck like the dartboard at Sam’s bar and you throw.
Bullseye. Just like your dad taught you.
The man drops, knife buried in his neck and haemorrhaging blood. He gurgles this awful, awful sound as he clutches at his throat, trying and failing to push the blood back in. Natasha looks from your still outstretched hand, trembling in place, to meet your gaze. You can’t begin to decipher her expression, nor do you want to. You feel like you’re going to throw up, or choke, or scream, or all three. The man you just stabbed in the neck groans in pain, eyes rolling, coughing blood from his mouth in thick clumps. You can’t feel your hands anymore.
The door bangs open and you flinch, stumbling back until you trip on the chair you had been tied to and fall to the floor in a crumple of limbs. It’s Bucky, eyes wild and larger than life with a rage you’ve never seen before. He has a huge sniper-rifle slung over his back as he strides into the bar, stepping right over the writhing body of your stalker.
“I’ll deal with you in a second, Rumlow,” he practically growls, kicking aside the man’s hand that tries to grab for him. You scramble to your feet, practically tripping over yourself to get to Bucky. Doesn’t it say something about you that you run towards the man responsible for the death all around you?
You crash into Bucky hard, the force of the impact knocking the breath right out of you and once it’s gone you can’t get it back. It feels like his arms encompass the entirety of you as he holds you so tight your feet leave the ground. His chest rumbles with words but you can’t hear him, your ears are ringing and your chest is tight because panic attack, you dumbass. You press your face into Bucky’s neck and hope that’s enough to escape the scene unfolding around you.
“Get her out of here, I’ll deal with this,” you hear Natasha say somewhere behind Bucky but you refuse to lift your head to see.
Bucky attempts to pull away from you to look at Natasha, you can feel him try and twist his head but the inarticulate whine that rips from your throat stills the both of you. It’s mildly embarrassing, the sound you’ve just made, but it’s out there now. Bucky shifts his grip so one big palm rubs soothing strokes up and down your spine and you feel yourself becoming boneless with every pass of his hand.
“I’m not fucking lettin’ him get away with this,” Bucky says, low, threatening - if you were this Rumlow guy bleeding out on the ground, you would be afraid.
“And he won’t,” Natasha says, and then like she has to remind Bucky of his own thoughts, “but you have other priorities right now. Get her out of here.”
You feel Bucky nod, his scratchy chin moving against the top of your head. He kisses your temple and holds the back of your skull with one big palm, pressing your face further into his neck. It means you don’t see the carnage of the bar when he moves to place an arm around your shoulder and steer you out the door, stumbling under his guidance on shaky, cotton-fuzzy legs. He’s hurrying you, but as gently as he can. Once you feel the bright burn of sunlight on your skin you pull back from Bucky’s neck, blinking in the now empty street and Bucky’s piercing gaze as he looks down at you.
“Are you with me?” he asks, his hand dropping from your skull to squeeze the side of your neck. You still feel like you’re sipping each breath through a straw but you nod. You can see in his eyes he needs you to be with him right now, to get out of here, so you try and blink away the fuzzies in the corners of your vision and focus on his face.
“I’m sorry,” you say, and christ, now is not the time for that stinging pressure behind your eyes you hate so much. You hope Bucky understands - sorry for not listening to him, sorry for getting you both into this mess, sorry for not being strong when he needs you to be.
Bucky shakes his head vehemently, tugs you in harsh and strong by the grip he has on your neck to press a bruising kiss to your forehead. Your eyes flutter close at the fierce way he holds you, presses emotion into your skin like the tattoos littering his skin - a brand of your own, in the middle of this eerily empty street with the blood of strange men on both your hands. The thought makes you shake, so you twist your fingers in the hem of Bucky’s t-shirt and breathe him in deep.
“I’m sorry, doll,” he says, then pulls away from you. He grabs one of your hands from out under his shirt and links your fingers, beginning to drag you down the street. Looking back over his shoulder, he says with a grimace, “We gotta go.”
He leads you to his bike, squeezed between a brick wall and a dumpster in a side alley a block away from The Lerna. It roars to life before you’ve properly swung yourself on the back, and you aren’t bothering with helmets this time as Bucky eases the bike out from it’s tight spot with unsettling ease. All you can do is hold on tight and close your eyes as Bucky leads you away, weaving through the city in nonsensical loops before you feel the air open up around you and the familiar sounds of Brooklyn.
Bucky takes you to Steve’s tattoo in Red Hook, the first time you’re been back there since that fateful run-in with Natasha. You’ve checked out completely by the time Bucky parks - he has to lift you off the back of the bike because your legs won’t work, and he all but carries you inside. Steve is quick to rid the shop of the two customers looking at designs out front as Bucky settles you on the couch by the tattoo beds. You sink into the faded red leather without feeling a thing. Distantly, you notice the kid who usually mans the tills looking at you like you’ve grown a second head, and you suppose you deserve that.
“Stevie, I think she’s in shock,” you hear Bucky say, and the childhood nickname makes you smile. You watch Bucky’s face crease up deep concern at the dreamy look on your face, so you suppose you should stop smiling like a crazy person. A giant blonde head swims into your view, just as concerned, and he drapes a blanket around your shoulders.
“Bucky,” you say, your eyebrows drawing down as you fumble for his hand. He squeezes your fingers and mumbles something to Steve who leaves you again, his voice mingling with the kid’s somewhere over Bucky’s shoulder but you can’t focus on that. All you can do is swim in the back of Bucky’s too-deep stare and say, “I killed him.”
“No, no,” he says, shifting closer between your thighs as he kneels on the floor in front of you. This would be funny to you in any other moment, something to tease him for as he takes both your hands in his and squeezes them together, silently imploring you to stay looking at him. He says, “That’s not on you, sweetheart, it ain’t. You didn’t kill him.”
You’re crying now, properly, which you suppose is a good sign because you don’t think people in shock can cry. You watch as something cracks in Bucky’s eyes as he watches you break apart, but you can’t stop now you’ve started. You say, “I did, I killed him. How do you do it? How do you just- I feel like my throat’s gonna close up. How do you live past this?”
Bucky’s face darkens, smoothing out to something stone cold and frightening. You don’t feel scared, though, as he leans into your space so close you almost feel cross-eyed trying to stay glued to the blue of his eyes. He searches your face for something and says, no room for argument, “You did not kill that bastard, you hear me?”
“But-“
“No,” he says, simply, and that’s that. “The only reason you were in that position is because of me, doll, so no. You didn’t kill him. It’s on me, and I live with that so you don’t have to. You got that? You don’t ever have to live with that.”
You don’t know how he makes you feel like he’s physically reached into your chest and pulled out your guilt through your throat, but he does. You can see it clenched tight in his fist, his eyes shuttering down dark as he shoves it between his own teeth to hold. It’s too soon for the feelings clawing at your ribcage but you feel them just the same, that cigarette burn he left on your heart aching so bad you could scream from it. You extract a hand from his to run down his cheek, along his jaw, cupping his face in your palm. He closes his eyes, shudders as though swallowing down the guilt for the both of you.
I love you for that, you think to the soft flutter of his eyelashes against his cheeks. I’ll love you forever for that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Natasha returns to the shop, and Sam bundles in not long after that, the four bikers sit around Steve’s prematurely closed tattoo shop and have a family meeting. You can’t help but feel like the kid who’s stayed up past their bedtime to try and hang with the adults, the words flying over their head and sleep pulling at their eyelids but they fight to stay awake anyway. Bucky pulls your head into his lap as he sits on the couch beside you, so you lie there and let him stroke your hair while they discuss what happened over the past two hours.
Two hours, and that’s all it’s taken for your whole world to spin on it’s axis. You’d learnt to throw knives at tree trunks with your dad as a fun, albeit unconventional after-school activity. And now you’ve buried a knife in someone’s neck, you’ve been kidnapped and tied to a chair and watched Bucky gun down men from a rooftop with his sniper rifle. He pulled the trigger with the same fingers he’s carding through your hair now, nails scratching at your scalp in a way that makes your toes tingle. How is that at all ok?
“We’ve started a turf war with Hydra, now,” Sam is saying, sitting backwards on a chair facing Bucky and spreading his hands out in a placating gesture as Bucky bristles. “It was unavoidable, alright, I’m just saying.”
“Not necessarily,” Natasha says. “Rumlow has had a vendetta against Bucky for years. He could’ve been acting alone.”
“It is strange we haven’t heard anything from Pierce,” Steve says thoughtfully. He is pressing an icepack to Natasha’s back, already bruising from where this Rumlow guy threw her into the wall. She’s lifting up her t-shirt and you can see a glimpse of a back piece standing out stark against her pale skin. Giant, feathered wings and a talon, a mosaic piece of what looks like a large hawk spanning the length of her spine.
“When Pierce finds out it was us that shot up his bar, though,” Sam says, making meaningful eyebrow movements to the group. They all nod thoughtfully and fall into silence.
None of these names make much sense to you - Hydra, Pierce, even Rumlow who you’ve gathered by now was your stalker. Was, because he’s dead now, and the thought turns your mouth dry and rusted. You shift in discomfort, drawing Bucky’s attention down to you as he gives you a concerned once over. He had done a thorough analysis for any injuries, even after you’d assured him you were fine, but you can tell he’s still unconvinced.
Unfortunately for you, all your wounds appear to be mental. They’re getting deeper by the second.
“I keep thinking,” you say to Bucky, “why was he so surprised I didn’t know where I was? Or who they were?”
“Hydra is our biggest rival,” Bucky says, and huffs a laugh at your crinkly brow so he clarifies, “They’re another gang, one we’ve had a lot of run-ins with. Rumlow especially. He wasn’t our biggest fan.”
“So he expected you to have told me about him, and Hydra,” you say, the name unfamiliar on your tongue. He nods, and you have to ask, “Why didn’t you?”
Bucky frowns at that. “I already told you - the more you know, the more dangerous it is.”
“And I already told you, no secrets,” you say, frowning just as deep. A beat passes and Bucky doesn’t budge, just glares down at you like he can physically bore his opinion into your brain and make it yours. Exasperated, you say, “Bucky, it didn’t matter anyway - the danger found me. Telling me things like that isn’t going to make a difference.”
“It would’ve if you’d listened to me and not done the stupid thing,” Bucky says, raising his eyebrows. He may have a point, but you aren’t going to back down that easily. Bucky knows you, he knows if you see a loose thread you’re going to pull it. The fact he thought you’d listen to him tell you what to do at all is laughable.
“This gang is your life,” you say, and you don’t bother to hide your frustration now, “They’re your family. I’m no safer not knowing what’s going on - I got stalked and kidnapped regardless. Clearly, it’s dangerous no matter what, so just tell me, Bucky. Whatever it is.”
Bucky stares at you for a long time. Steve, Natasha, Sam - they cease to exist in this room with you. Those first few weeks, when you refused to stay the night in Bucky’s bed and would only see him to fuck - you used to be scared of looking into those eyes for too long, for fear of getting lost. Now you dive head first, a part of you hoping you do get lost so you never have to find your way back out again.
Eventually, Bucky clenches his jaw tight and says, “You’re right.”
You blink, surprised. You hear Sam whisper to Steve, “did you record that?”, and honestly, you wanna ask the same thing. Except the way Bucky is look at you- dread curls thick and choking in your gut. You look up at Bucky and he seem so far away, out of reach even though you feel him all around you. He continues stroking your hair but it’s absentminded, his mind far away too.
You are drawn back to the tattoo shop by Sam saying, “I gotta say, Barnes, your girl is smart as hell. Keeping your phone on you and out-smarting Rumlow in a hostage situation? Pretty badass.”
Bucky smiles briefly down at you, but it doesn’t quite meet his eyes. You turn to Sam and say, “I got the impression out-smarting Rumlow isn’t really that hard.”
Everyone laughs at that, even Bucky, and it clears away some of the dread eating away at your stomach. But it’s still there, acidic and bubbling no matter what you do to smother it.
Eventually, they grow tired of talking in circles about Rumlow and Hydra and the possibility of the feds showing up (Bucky assures everyone the cops will find no rifling on the bullets and won’t be able to pin them to the crime scene, but Sam mutters heard that before and an argument erupts about some debacle in Bucharest so you tune out). Bucky takes you back to his apartment, tucked securely in his leather jacket in the best kind of shock blanket you could ever ask for.
For the first time, you noticed the tiny embroidered star on the sleeve of his jacket. You wonder if all Bucky’s friends have the same star on their jackets, because they’re not just friends, they’re a gang. One you feel suddenly, irrevocably intertwined with since they’re the only reason you aren’t sitting in a jail cell for murdering someone.
You feel jittery as you walk into Bucky’s apartment, almost nervous. It looks the same as this morning, the coffee cups you used for Steve and Bucky still in the sink and hoodie of his you’d worn last night draped over a chair. But everything is different, now. It’s all changed, there’s weird new shadows over everything long after Bucky turns on the light. You linger in the doorway to Bucky’s bedroom while he rummages around for sweats and jumpers, laying out a pair for you before he begins changing himself. He shucks off his t-shirt and you see his tattoo sleeve, the mottled scars hiding underneath, and your heart flies out of your throat before you can stop it.
“So do you guys have a fun, spooky name like Hydra or what?” you ask, closing your eyes with a grimace as soon as you ask the question. What are you, twelve? Bucky doesn’t answer and you’re too afraid to open your eyes too see the look on his face.
You’re startled when you feel him kiss your cheek, sensing his large frame towering over you and blocking out some of the soft bedroom light. You open your eyes to find him smiling down at you, laughing at you with his eyes as he says, “Not so spooky. Steve named us, he called us the Howling Commandos. The HC, for short.”
You crinkle your nose up at him and he flicks the tip with his ringed fingers. You say, “That’s very old-fashioned.”
“Nat teases him for it all the time,” he says, “She calls us her barbershop quartet.”
You smile, imagining Bucky in suspenders playing the accordion, and say, “Now that I like.”
The longer Bucky looks at you the more sober he becomes, mouth becoming pinched and jaw muscle ticking. He holds you soft by the biceps and walks you back until you hit the wall, still gentle, but bracketing you in now so all you can see is the weight of whatever complicated thing is running across Bucky’s face.
“You scared the fucking shit out of me today,” he says. He shifts, grips your jaw tight so his rings dig into your skin with none of the gentleness of before - he means this. “Never do that again.”
“I’m sorry,” you say, twisting in his tight grip to press a kiss to his fingertips. He softens, allows you to pull him in flush against you by his waist, his bare skin so warm under your hands. “And, thank you. I don’t- I guess I’ve never had someone come save me before, I don’t know what to say.”
“Don’t thank me,” Bucky says, shaking his head. He kisses you, a rough press of chapped lips against yours and is gone again before you can react. Says, “I’m sorry, too.”
“Come back,” you say with a pout, and you have just enough time to see Bucky smirk down at you before he’s kissing you again. It’s just as fierce, almost painful, but the rough slide of it distracts from the burn in your chest and your racing thoughts like razorblades. You lick into his mouth, chasing away the ghosts nipping at your heels, and he presses you back into the wall with a thunk hard enough to leave a bruise on your tailbone tomorrow. You don’t care. It feels good to hurt in a way that’s physical.
The ease with which Bucky picks you up makes your head spin. It’s all you can do but pepper kisses along his stubbled jaw as he carries you to the bed, lips suddenly ripped from his skin as he dumps you on the covers. He is quick to follow, squashing you down with his tongue in your mouth before you can take another breath. This, you know. All the messy feelings and heartache and fearfearfear that beats in time with your heart, that maybe you’ll lose him or he’ll lose you and you came so close today, is unfamiliar to the both of you. But arching your back off the bed so he can take your shirt off, scrubbing your fingers through the short hair at the nape of his neck as he peppers kisses across your tits with a trail of goosebumps left behind - this is how you know Bucky best.
He makes quick work of your clothes and you fumble with his jeans, laughing into his mouth as he bats your hand away to do it for you. Bucky bites your bottom lip in playful admonishment and you chase his mouth as he tries to pull away. He places one big palm on your clavicle and pushes down, holding you against the bed. He shakes his head at you with a smile.
“Stay,” he says like he would to a dog, grinning wide as you glare at him. But you do as you’re told as he leans over you to grab a condom with his left arm. Maybe you bend the rules a little to trail kisses up the bits of his outstretched forearm you can reach. Over a shadowy skull, the stem of a rose, what looks like military windings near the crook of his elbow and tiny handwritten letters that spell S N S. Sam Nat Steve, because Bucky might be a tough guy to most but he’s a giant sap deep down.
Bucky shudders at your touch, and it makes you wonder if the scarring under his tattoos is extra sensitive. Or maybe he is just sensitive to anyone touching him in such a vulnerable place. You flick your eyes up to watch him watch you, lip drawn between his teeth and a dent between his eyebrows you ache to soothe if he wasn’t still holding you down. You don’t stop, even though he looks physically pained with every brush of your lips against his skin. You trace the edges of another small wolf with your tongue, like the ones on his chestpiece, and watch as his eyes flutter closed when you get close to the paper-thin skin of his inner wrist.
That hits Bucky’s limit. Suddenly his hand on your chest slides up to your neck and he’s leaning over you, left arm braced by your head and his mouth swallowing yours. You groan against his lips at the rough drag of his hands down your sides, gripping your waist tight enough to bruise. He makes your brain go fuzzy, the only coherent thoughts being Bucky and touch me more. He seems to understand. His fingers find your clit, smoothing slow circles which spark embers in the pit of your stomach. Bucky’s mouth falls open as yours does, as if to breath in the whine he draws from you.
“Fuck, you always sound so good,” Bucky groans. He buries his face into the side of your neck, taking advantage of your thigh trapped between his legs to rut against you while he continues playing with your clit. Every time Bucky gets filthy with you it’s like the first time, shocking and almost embarrassing in the sexiest way possible. Heat floods your cheeks and makes you lightheaded, unable to stop the moan he draws from you. You’re rewarded by Bucky’s teeth in your neck, the sensitive spot just over your pulse point, and if you’re being honest you could come just from this.
Bucky’s cock growing harder against your thigh, as his hips shift in rhythm with the circles he draws on your clit, becomes too difficult to ignore. To gain his attention you twist and nip at the closest piece of skin you can find, Bucky’s ear, and he engulfs you in a kiss which steals the breath right out of you. You buck your hips, hoping to nonverbally convey the demand get in me right now, and Bucky doesn't need any more hints than that.
He fumbles with the condom for a second and you take the time to sit up on your elbows and look at him. Bucky is so beautiful, drawn in harsh lines and stark contrasts. Tan skin turned paler against the opaque black of his tattoos, colour swirling in-between and it should be jarring, but you think he just looks like art. Bitten red lips, startling blue eyes pinning you to the mattress as he catches you staring - such bright, primary colours because he is a statement piece, and one you could look at forever.
Bucky grins almost bashfully as you stare at him, leaning back over you to kiss you soft and sweet in a sharp juxtaposition to the rough tumble which got you here. Again, he sends your head spinning when the tender kiss is punctuated by the unexpected push of Bucky’s cock in your cunt. He bottoms out before you can blink, throwing your head back out of the kiss with an untamed groan - both pleasure and pain, in the good way. Bucky drags his teeth from your lips down your chin and neck, biting a mark into your collarbone to set the tone for the bruising pace he creates as he pounds into you.
He doesn’t do anything in halves, you think. You gaze up at him with an almost dopey smile while Bucky fucks the literal breath out of you. You lift your hips to meet him as he bottoms out with every thrust, watching in awe as his face creases up in ecstasy - it’s you who brings him there. He palms your tits like he can’t help himself, loses control in your pussy because you make him feel that good, and the thought makes you giddy. Drunk, almost, as you drag your nails down his chest and nearly come once again just from the moan you draw out of this brilliant, dangerous, gorgeous man.
“You take it so well, baby, fuck,” Bucky pants, eyebrows creasing as the pleasure gets almost painful in its build. You know the feeling. Bucky’s mouth is always your undoing, rolling your eyes back into your head and the sounds you’re making turning positively feral. He kisses you again, more a slam of mouths than anything finessed, and says, “Never gonna get over this, never gonna get over how good you feel.”
“Bucky, you gotta-“
“I gotta what, huh?” Bucky grins at the pleasure-addled panic he brings you too, not wanting to come too fast but also needing to let go before you actually explode. He knows exactly what he’s doing, balancing on one hand to thumb harshly at your clit as he says, “You want me to stop? I don’t think so, sweetheart, I think you wanna come on my cock just like this, wanna hear me tell you how good you are, how sweet you are for me all laid out like this-“
Everything whites out as you come, hard, all your muscles spasming like crazy with the orgasm that rips through you. Bucky’s voice is drowned out, but it doesn’t matter what he’s saying anymore, he’s made you feel like you’ll never catch your breath again. Bucky thunks his forehead against yours, collapsing on top of you as the fluttering clench of your cunt around his cock becomes too much. His thrusts turn sloppy, his breath hot and ragged across your face as you press lazy, barely-there kisses to his cheeks - all you can muster in your fucked-out haze.
Bucky comes with his eyes closed, eyelashes tangling with yours, and you cling to him with all four limbs as he shakes through his orgasm. The release was so needed for the both of you, the events of the last twenty-four hours frying your nerves to the point where it was either fight, cry, or fuck. It feels so good to have Bucky on top of you, inside you, all around you in every single sense and it warms your heart in a way you didn’t know was possible until now. Until Bucky.
Maybe that’s the afterglow talking, and you should stop. But you can’t help but press another kiss to Bucky’s cheek, and another, over his nose and across his still-closed eyelids until you reach his mouth and he can kiss you back just as soft. You hope he gets it. You hope he feels it too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You go to see your dad, eventually. The chaos of yesterday kept you attached to Bucky’s hip - you showered together in the morning, and he allowed you to pretend it was just the water and not tears soaking your face. But he made you cuddle with him on the couch and fed you an omelette like you were incapable of feeding yourself, and maybe you were, because the reality of what happened in that shitty Manhattan bar was starting to eat away at your executive functions. It took all of your strength to convince Bucky you would be ok and that you’d come back to him as soon as you were done, but it was time to pull on a thread you’ve been ignoring for far too long.
It turns out, that paranoid over-questioning part of your brain doesn’t turn off even during a traumatic event. Your dad lets you in without a word, tugging you into a side hug as you both walk to the kitchen to make tea.
The house you grew up in has taken on a different light since the Lerna. The kitchen chairs aren’t the same, reminding you too much of ziptied wrists and a gun in your face. Why can you superimpose the memory of Rumlow holding you hostage to one you have of being eleven and tied to a chair by your father? You shouldn’t be able to do that.
He nudges your hip, jerking you out of your staring contest with the dining chairs, and offers you a mug of tea. You both sit at the table, either end, the fruit bowl a mediator between you. He looks tired, old, like he always has somehow in your memories from childhood. He’s still your dad, the same man who always been there because he’s all you’ve ever had. He loves you, you know does. Ya lyublyu tebya, luna. But he has always been the first to say your paranoid streak runs a mile deep, and once you find a thread-
Well. Everyone knows how that ends.
“Do you want to talk about it?” your dad asks, and it’s like he knows you aren’t here to ask for boy advice or moan about a case or your skyrocketing rent.
There’s a lot you want to talk about. Why did I learn to throw knives instead of joining the soccer team, like normal kids? Why did I learn how to survive an interrogation instead of going to sleepovers, like normal kids? Why did you train me to question everyone and everything in this world, but I’ve always blindly believed you? Like a normal kid would, you suppose, the only normal you’ve ever really gotten. Always believing your dad is the superhero of six-year-old dreams, someone who would never keep you in the dark.
“No,” you say, taking a sip of tea. It burns your tongue to numbness, but you can’t bring yourself to care. We had the secret language for only us - why did I never think you might have secrets from me as well? You grimace into your tea and say, “Not right now, I’m sorry.”
“Tayny budut presledovat tebya vechno, malysh,” he says. Secrets will haunt you forever, little one.
You don’t dare look up from your tea as you say, “Ya dumayu, ty by znal vse ob etom.” I guess you’d know all about that.
He gives you leftover curry in a carry bag when you leave. Kisses you on the cheek and lets you go, but you can feel him watching you the entire time it takes you to walk down the street and out of sight. As soon as you round the corner you retch into the nearest bush, a well-manicured rose which you silently apologise to as it gets covered in your bile.
This guilt isn’t something Bucky can save you from - it feels like it’s eating you alive. You had never, ever thought you would get to the point where you’d be leaving a bug stuck to the underside of your dad’s kitchen table, but you suppose you never thought you’d be stalked and kidnapped either. You wipe the your mouth with the back of your hand as your stomach finishes emptying itself of tea and betrayal, and try to tell yourself you won’t find anything, you're just being paranoid. But you know you will.
Maybe you always have, and that’s why you’ve been too scared to pull on the thread you’ve known has been dangling in the back of your mind since you were a kid. Just one secret you wanted to leave, one dark corner you didn’t want to shine a light into. That’s never been in your nature. You spit the foul, acidic taste from your mouth onto a poor, innocent rose bud and think with just as much bitterness as the bile coating your throat, that’s not who my dad raised me to be.

Coffee and Bad Words
WinterIron, T, 1.5K, convenient amnesia
For the @winterironmonth
Fun fact, this is probably my favorite prompt I’ve written for the month so far it’s so goofy I regret nothing.
SFW Wednesday, Amnesia AND “All I do is drink coffee and say bad words.”
-
Bucky walks into the lab with a half formed plan for how he’s going to try and coax Tony out. The man’s been locked up down there playing with some weird bit of tech they picked up on their last mission for almost 36 hours now, and everyone is starting to get concerned. Bucky is pretending not to know why he was chosen for this job.
The doors open for him, and the second he steps into the the lab Tony spins to point at him and demands “you. We’re friends, right?”
“Um,” Bucky says, because that’s the big question isn’t it? Bucky would certainly like to think so, at least, he’d even like to think maybe he’ll work up the balls to try for more than that sometimes soon. Especially if the rest of the team keeps mocking him about his ‘totally obvious’ feelings. Still, he’s not sure what answer Tony is actually looking for here, so he finally settles on a hesitant “yes?”
“Right,” Tony says, nodding and turning back to the million screens opened up before him, spanning nearly the entire workspace and displaying what looks like various clips of security feeds from the lab. “Right, of course we’re friends, you spend so much time down here. We’re totally friends. That makes sense. I’ve hardly seen anyone else on these feeds, and look, look I’m even laughing in this one.”
Tony pauses to point to one of the screens and Bucky remembers that day. He doesn’t remember exactly what stupid pun he’d made, but he remembers the way Tony had laughed, eyes squeezed shut and head thrown back.
“Tony,” Bucky says slowly, and he’s starting to get a bad feeling about this, but before he can say anything else Tony spins back towards him with a victorious grin.
“Tony! That was going to be my question, thank you!”
Bucky’s heart drops into his stomach. His bad feeling gets exponentially worse.
-
Turns out, the fancy new gizmo Tony had been playing with activated somehow, and apparently wiped his memory. All of it. And instead of telling anyone, Tony has spent the past twelve or so hours alone, watching security footage.
“Why didn’t you tell someone?” Bucky can’t help demanding, heart racing, and he has to get Tony to medical, get him checked over, what if there’s something else-
“Because I had to figure out who I am, first!” Tony insists, breaking into Bucky’s panic spiral, throwing his arms in the air, like somehow Bucky is the one being ridiculous here.
“So you’ve been watchin’ security footage of yourself?”
“A man is most himself when alone,” Tony says obnoxiously and Bucky resists the urge to roll his eyes. Then Tony considers the screens again and adds “and when you’re here, I guess, you’re down here like all the time. You didn’t even leave when I snorted a questionably green shake out of my nose, which, gross. Although you did laugh at me, that’s real friendship I guess.”
Bucky ignores the heat trying to rise in his face because right, sure, friendship. “You couldn’ have tried the internet?” Bucky asks instead of addressing the fact that it really is obvious how much time he spends hanging around Tony now that it’s all laid out like this, “or, I dunno, asked JARVIS?”
Tony’s nose wrinkles adorably as he demands “the ceiling voice?! Like hell am I trusting that, next thing I know it’s going to be refusing to open the pod bay doors!”
“Oh my god, you’re so paranoid,” Bucky groans, slumping onto one of the stools and resisting the urge to drop his forehead to the table.
“See, you do know me!” Tony says brightly, smile lighting up his face, and despite everything Bucky’s heart gives a little flutter. “So far, I’ve been able to determine that all I do is drink coffee and say bad words.”
“Well, you’re not wrong there,” Bucky mutters, pinching the bridge of his nose, and Tony laughs again.
“Also, am I building a robot army? What up with that?” Tony asks, turning back to his many screens with a thoughtful look.
“You are a robot army,” Bucky says, and he’s about to actually explain the suits of armor lining the walls when something on the screens catches his eye instead.
He remembers that day, too. Tony in a tank top, working on one of the armors, grease smeared across his bare arms. Bucky feels his face heating up, because he remembers what happens next, too. On screen, Bucky wants into the lab, catches sight of Tony, and promptly trips over DUM-E and goes sprawling to the ground. Not his proudest moment, but not the worst he’s ever embarrassed himself in front of Tony with the man, somehow, miraculously not noticing.
Bucky glances over at Tony, to see if maybe he’d managed to miss Bucky’s face plant this time too, only to find Tony already watching him with a considering look. Bucky opens his mouth with absolutely no idea what he plans to say, but Tony beats him to it anyways.
“Did you know,” Tony starts slowly, and apparently he doesn’t need his memory to get the same look on his face when he’s putting the pieces together, “that when you moved the couch to get the ball one of the weird robots lost, I straight up fell off my chair and nearly stabbed myself with a screwdriver on the way down?”
“Uh,” Bucky says, because he had not known that, and the knowing look that’s slowly growing on Tony’s face is making him nervous. For multiple reasons. And a part of him can’t stop wondering how many other stupid things Tony has seen him doing in these feeds, how many stupid things Bucky has missed Tony doing over him.
“So, new question,” Tony says, sidling towards him with an amazing amount of confidence for someone with no memories. “Are we, by any chance, right on the delicate edge of more than friends?”
“Uh- you,” Bucky stutters out and he can’t back away fast enough, his hip bouncing painfully off the corner of a table because he can’t drag his eyes away from the way Tony’s tongue swipes out to wet his lips. Finally Bucky gets his brain back online enough to insist “we’re not having this conversation when you don’t remember anythin’!”
Tony pouts but at least stops advancing on him, and it’s incredibly difficult for Bucky to drag his attention away from the swell of Tony’s lower lip. “Fine. And I suppose you’re going to make me go talk to doctors now,” Tony says with a roll of his eyes, and Bucky’s not sure if it’s a good or bad sign that Tony’s dislike of going to medical isn’t reliant on his memories either.
“For starters,” Bucky grumbles. That’s right, he just has to deal with this one thing at a time, first they make sure Tony is okay, then they figure out what’s going on with his memory, and then-
“And then we can make out?” Tony asks hopefully and Bucky almost trips over exactly nothing.
“Would you please just- grab the thing and we can go talk to someone?” Bucky demands and Tony’s little smirk is really not helping anything.
“Fine, fine,” Tony says, smirking wider as he turns to grab the small device still sitting on one of the tables.
There’s a bright flash of light.
Bucky wakes up on his back, blinking at the ceiling in confusion.
“Are you kidding?! It was that easy?!” Tony’s voice demands from somewhere on the other side of the lab, “I hate magic. So much.”
“I know,” Bucky says with a groan as he pushes himself upright again, and then pauses, “wait, you remember that?”
“I also remember taking my midterms in a hula outfit, which I haven’t remembered since the 90’s, so that’s fun,” Tony says and his head pop up over one of the tables, looking a little dazed, a little confused, but no worse for wear. “Apparently, when I get my memories back I get all of them back. Including the things I’d rather not.”
Tony continues complaining as they pick themselves back up, dust themselves off, and Bucky is just trying to figure out what the hell he’s supposed to say now. Does he act like they didn’t just have an accidental revelation? Chalk it all up to the effects of the magic mind wiper and never speak of it again?
As usual, Tony beats him to the punch. His eyes flick up to the screens again, and a hopeful smile spreads across his face. “So, did we have to go upstairs right now, or..?” He trails off, wiggles his eyebrows, and almost manages to hide the nerves in his voice.
“Or,” Bucky says, surprising himself with how firm his voice comes out considering he had no idea he was going to say it. He’s not taking it back through, not missing this chance because knowing himself, Bucky could spend the rest of his life finding excuses to wait.
“Yay, we’re gonna make out,” Tony says, giddy and goofy and oh, Bucky’s heart is swelling almost painfully in his chest as Tony picks right back up on advancing on him.
“Just a little,” Bucky says, already reaching out to pull him in, “then it’s straight to medical for you.”
“Boo,” Tony tries to complain, but Bucky just kisses him quiet.

Independent Part 1 X Tig Trager X Reader
My first Sons Of Anarchy fic. I dunno what it is about Tig but damn he’s hot. I have quite a few ideas for where this is going.
Summary: You catch the eye of Tig, going on a date at a sons party.
Mentions of abuse and some fighting. Smut to follow.
You saw red as you started your bike, you tried to take a breath to calm down but it didn't work. You revved the engine and kicked the stand from under you. Your sister ran out your shop "Y/N! Please don't!" But it was too late. Smoke followed behind you.
Pulling into the parking lot you saw a bunch of men standing around. You knew exactly who owned this garage but that wasn't going to stop you. If you got your ass beat you'd be fine. You could see him talking to someone, he had his back to you which was perfect. Bikes coming in and out of the place made no reason for anyone to turn around as you stopped. You put it back on the stand and took your helmet off leaving it hanging off the handlebars. You pulled your baseball bat from its own little sheath just under the right side of your seat.
"Hey doll you okay?" One of the bikers called over to you. He had messy black hair and piercing blue eyes.
You smiled "Just fine thanks." You swung the bat round in your hand before walking towards the group of men. "HEY! TONY!" Shouting as loud as you could.
He turned to look at you "Oh shi-"
Before he could finish you swung as hard as you could, the bat connected with his cheek shattering it completely. Blood sprayed as he fell to the ground. All the men around you shouted. Before anyone could stop you you hit him again. "You think its okay to hit women?" Everyone stopped as soon as they heard you. You bent down to get closer to his face. "I'm telling you now Meg is coming to live with me. You don't call her, text her, you so much as think about my little sister again and I will kill you." You stood back up and placed your boot on his cheeky pressing his face closer into the dirt "That isn't a threat asshole. That’s a promise." You kicked him as hard as your could in the stomach before turning on your heal back to your bike. You wiped the blood off your bat on a rag hanging on the back of your bike.
"Jesus girl." The same biker looked at Tony spitting blood in the dirt "You got a swing and a half on you."
"He got what was coming to him."
"No doubt." He smiled sweetly at you."I gotta know your name."
"Gotta know or wanna know?" You winked at him "Come by my store one day. Studio next to the barbers and I'd kick that piece of shit outta here if I was you." You revved your engine before speeding out the garage.
He turned to the guy stood by him "Jesus man.. she's wife material."
--
Back at your studio you flicked through the bookings. Your afternoon was empty and it was your day off tomorrow. Looked like you could close up early for once. You went into the back office, your sister sat across the sofa with an ice pack on her head. "Hey bro, how you feeling?"
"My head hurts but personally I feel better. Thank you again."
"No problem." You sat at one of the desk chairs "We got a free afternoon and all day tomorrow. Wanna do something?"
"Err," She pulled a face "I'm not quite ready to go out yet. I think I'm going to get settled at yours, have a shower and watch a film."
"That’s fine. Sounds like a good plan to be honest." You stood from the chair "I've already cashed up so I'll go and lock the doors and I can take you home."
"Perfect." She stuck her thumbs up at you.
Leaning over the counter you grabbed your keys, as you turned a man stood at your door scared the life out of you. It was the biker "Fuck man." You opened the door "You scared the shit outta me."
"Sorry about that gorgeous." He leaned on the door frame.
"You're very eager." raising one of your eyebrows at him.
"There's something about you doll.. Amazing."
"Wow, thanks. The names Y/N"
"Tig." He smiled at you "Look if you aint busy tonight one of our boys is getting out tonight, throwing him a party at the club house. You should come."
"Well..." a smirk crept up your face "I suppose I could swing by."
"Want me to pick you up?"
"And give you my address? I aint that easy Tig. I know where it is."
He smiled again, his eyes were so mesmerizing "Ight, see you at like 9?"
"Sure." You leaned in, closing the already small gap between you and kissed him on the cheek. He walked away with a grin stretched across his face as you closed the door behind you. You went in the back to help your sister carry her stuff.
She frowned at you "Who was that and why you smiling so damn much?"
"Ermm.." You turned to look at her as you picked up one of her bags "I think I have a date."
"You what? The most independent woman I don't ever need a man ever has a date?" The way she spoke made you laugh "Who on earth tricked you into a date?"
"His name is Tig." You turned to say the second part under your breath "He's an SOA."
"Wait!" She tried to stop you but you ran past her to your bike. "Hey!" She ran out the studio after you "Did you just say he was an SOA?"
"Yeahhhh.." You locked the studio door and threw her bag into the back of her truck. "Look I know the rep they have. He seems nice but he probs just want to sleep with me."
"And your okay with that?"
You shrugged "A girl got needs."
"You're gross! I'll see you in like 2 minutes." She started her truck and drove off. You were in such high spirits you really fancied a detour on the bike, but you had to go home and try to find an outfit.
--
"No!" You threw your self on the bed.
"Stop being dramatic!" Meg was face first in your wardrobe. "You have loads of clothes!"
"I'm going to a party at the god damn sons of anarchy club house. I can't go to nice because all those hot groupies will show me up but I don't want to look like a groupie at the same time."
"Sis they are called prostitutes and you are not a prostitute now shut up and put this on." She threw a dress at you.
You looked at yourself in the mirror, black velvet dress with the sides cut out, Dr marten boots with boot socks rolled down, checkered shirt. Pretty much your entire body was tattooed which went with your outfit perfectly.
"You sure you don't want to borrow some heels?"
"I don't wear heels and I'm going on my bike."
She held her hands up "Fair enough. Well I hope you have a great time and I won't wait up."
"Yeahhh I wouldn't wait." You walked to the door.
You're disgusting!" She threw a pillow at you as you left.
-- Pulling into the parking lot you started to get a little nervous. You were so busy with the studio it had been ages since you went in a date. You pulled up in an empty spot. The music was blasting out already. People everywhere, most of them half naked women.
As you clipped your helmet to the handle bars a voice came from not far behind you. "Hey."
You turned to see Tig "Hi." You smiled at him as he walked over to you.
"You look beautiful." He passed you a bottle.
"Thanks." You took the bottle from his hands and kissed him on the cheek. He walked in with you and most people stared straight at you. You finished your drink straight away. "I'm gonna need something stronger."
"I like your thinking." He grabbed a bottle of Jack from the table and poured you a couple of shots each.
You felt instantly better. He started introducing you to all the other sons. They were all really nice to you. Some a little pervy but Tig was definitely the worst. He hardly actually looked at your face.
The night was going really smoothly. You and Tig got on like a house on fire and all the guys treated you as though you were already one of the family. As you returned from the bathroom you noticed a girl with her tits just hanging out trying to sit on his knee. You could hear what he was saying "Look miss, its real nice you got your boobies out but I have a girl with me tonight."
"Awh but you know I'm way more fun that her."
Marching over you tapped her on the shoulder "Excuse me?" She spun around and got right in your face "He said he aint interested sweetheart."
"And who the fuck are you? No one has ever said no to me."
You looked her up and down "I highly doubt that." Your comment made Juice spit out his drink.
"You his old lady?"
"I don't belong to anyone hunny."
She pushed you at the shoulders "So you aint important."
Tig stood up to stop her but you put your hand out, this was your fight "Touch me again I'll knock you the fuck out."
She did, pushing you back again. With one move you headbutted her in the nose, knocking her to the ground. She grabbed her face and started shouting. "Shut up and get out my face." You sat back down next to Tig. "Stupid bitch." You grabbed hold of the bottle of Jack on the table and took a huge swig. You lit a cig and leaned back in the chair.
"God damn girl!" Juice cheered. "Gemma's gonna love you."
You looked over at Tig who was just staring at you. "That was the sexiest thing I've ever seen." He launched at you kissing you deeply. At first it took you back but then you sank into the kiss. He tasted like cigarettes and whiskey which just made you even more turned on. Breaking the kiss you sat back in your chair and took another drag of your cig. You looked around the table to realize all the guys were all over the women they were sat with, paying no attention to you guys. You looked into his icy blue eyes, a smirk crept up your face. You could tell on his face he was thinking the exact same as you. You both stood without saying anything to anyone else around the table. He grabbed hold of your hand as he walked past some of the rooms. You stopped for a second to admire the bike on display. He spun you around so you were facing him.
"Am I boring you?"
"Not at all." You leaned into a kiss. The pace picked up fast and before you knew it he had pushed you against a door. Wrapping your legs around him he kissed down your neck.
You were so close to having sex right there in the hall way when Opie rounded the corner. "Fuck sake man... Can't you at least do that in your room."
"Fuck off."Tig's voice was muffled as he was face first in your breasts. He moved one hand off your ass and he reached for the door knob. He pushed you through the door and threw you onto his bed. He stood over you for a second and lick his lips "You ready baby."

Honestly, I cannot say enough about my german study abroad program, in no small part because the people i met through it were the wildest bunch i have ever met. We had:
Me, a cursed American stumbling through increasingly unlikely and unfortunate situations, including:
getting arrested and hauled off in a cop car for the serious crime of not transcribing the five digit number printed on the back of my bus ticket onto the front of my bus ticket
slipping on dog poop on a crowded street while running late for class (leading a number of tourists to run over and photograph me in my undignified heap on the cobblestones) only to suffer one final indignity when i had to leave my poop shoe out in the hall outside the classroom, and subsequently discovered after class that it had been (correctly) identified as garbage by the custodian, and had been disposed of
spending the entire month of November with essentially no money after a bank error caused me to be cut off from my US checking account, thereby forcing me to figure out how to survive by my wits alone in a series of schemes, cons, and 1€ sausages
burning my thumb so badly on an oven in an attempt to make the world’s worst stuffing for the world’s saddest expat thanksgiving that my friends all had an intervention where they gave me a single black glove to wear because it was grossing them all out.
Enough about me. There were also my closest friends:
L , a horrendously wealthy New Englander who would drop lines in her stories like “so we were all smoking opium in my parents library,” and, “so every time my room gets too dirty, i just move to the next one down until the whole wing is filthy.” In spite of everything I’ve just said, she was also a genuinely good and incredibly fearless person who would throw fists without hesitation if she thought anyone was insulting her friends. She had a weird sexual relationship with her obscenely wealthy family friend in Frankfurt, which the rest of us suspected maybe been part of a business deal that their parents arranged at birth. It was better than Game of Thrones, honestly.
Y, a four foot tall Puerto Rican that I met when we were both walking down the street kind of near each other and some wild impulse called me to say to her, without so much as an introduction, “Yeah, you walk pretty cool, but if you wanna walk REAL cool, you gotta do it like thissssss,” while kinda lunging around. Just as inexplicably, she chose to continue talking to me, and several months later the two of us ended up making a harrowing 2:00 am escape from the private bar of a frat house that we had suddenly noticed had an awful lot of Nazi memorabilia on the walls for a frat located in a country that had criminalized the display of Nazi symbols. “Why are you leaving?” The frat-nazis complained as we bolted. “You will come back tomorrow afternoon for the barbecue, ja?” “Ahahhahaha nein fucking way, motherfucker,” Y muttered under her breath as we smiled and nodded politely all the way out the private garden, through the enormous iron gates, and out into the night. Once we were in the clear, we stared at each other, shaken, until Y broke the silence. “Welp. Those guys were Nazis. That actually just happened. I can’t.... man, I dunno, i’m still processing, let’s just go get some fucking falafel.”
We did.
S, the Australian, who one time invited me over to her apartment, opened the fridge, grabbed a plate of cheese, shoved it under my nose while going “HERE SMELL THIS!” and while i lurched away, gagging, cheerfully added “IT’S REALLY FOUL, RIGHT? ONE OF THE WOST THINGS I’VE EVER SMELLED!!” She was also absolutely obsessed with High School Musical, and was very disappointed every time the Americans shattered one of her illusions about the US public school system.
K, the girl from New Zealand, who had broken up with her serious boyfriend shortly before leaving for Germany, causing her to mourn his loss every time she got drunk by describing his penis with increasingly strange metaphors, such as “like a big wax candle but part of it’s gone,” and “like one leg off a spider.”
So, i had a pretty solid crew of five big weirdos. But there were, naturally, more people than the five of us in our program. For example:
R, from Minnesota, who dressed like she was about 72 and glared at anyone who was laughing too loudly near her because “i just don’t think jokes are funny.” More importantly, she would post facebook videos of herself reciting, entirely sincerely and in a steady monotone, the worst fucking poems that I have ever heard. She posted them under a pen name that was along the same lines as “the lyrical falcon.” She was in a feud with not one but two poetry clubs at her christian college, and while she never admitted this, all evidence suggested that it was because they both kicked her out. She was the Tommy Wisseau of poems. They were so bad they looped back around to good. Also, one time on the train she told me that she liked to think that she was a very good kisser because she played the french horn so she had strong mouth muscles. when i finally recovered from the mortal blow that she just delivered my soul, I asked her if she blew into people when she kissed them, and she got so insulted that she blocked me from her facebook poetry page. let me back in, R. please, if you’re reading this, let me back in.
They’re good poems, R.
Zoolander, from Pennsylvania, who was so, so handsome, but so, so, so dumb. One time he told me about this dream he had, and it was just an entire episode of Dexter’s lab. No changes or anything, he just... dreamed that he was watching that episode, and then the whole thing played in his head until it was done. He said it was the best dream he’d ever had. I once watched him pick up the same coin off the street four times because he couldn’t figure out that his pocket had a hole in it. When he noticed me, he said excitedly “Somebody left money everywhere!”
Juan, who constantly confused all the kids from Spain who went up to talk to him in their native tongue, only to discover that he was a very sarcastic man from Liverpool who didn’t speak a word of Spanish and was sick of everyone trying to bond with him. He only liked the Americans, because that’s where the tv show Family Guy was from, and only the Americans liked him, because we tend to like surly british assholes for basically no reason. At the end of the program while we were all saying our goodbyes, he came up to me, looking really upset. “I can’t believe it,” He said, uncharacteristically serious. “I can’t believe it’s all over and i’ll never...” He looked like he was about to cry.
“Oh, dude, we can keep in touch on facebook or something?” I fumbled. He blinked.
“What? No, no, ugh, it’s just the last day of the program and I’ve LOST MY FOOKIN SCARF!” he roared.
God, I know this is weird, but I still really miss that guy.
The Croatian: There was a dude from Croatia in my apartment building who outright refused to tell me his name, because, “It’s an embarrassing word in English. You’d laugh.” I badgered him for five months, until finally, his defenses down, after many earnest promises that no matter what his name was, I would not laugh, he relented.
“My name is Tin.” He said sheepishly.
His name was fucking Tin.
Beardy, Beardo, Redbeard, and Weirdbeard: four drastically different young men from all across our beautiful planet who had one thing in common: thinking that they’d try out a beard while they were abroad. We always admired them from a distance, and compared their beards’ various unique and bad properties, until one day Beardy (who was australian and had developed a sort of flesh colored goatee) walked up to S, his countryman, in a club. “DO YOU WANT TO DANCE?” he yelled, trying to get her attention, but she was in a dance-off with K, and didn’t notice, so he tapped her shoulder. She whirled around, startled, and upon recognizing him, said without thinking, “OH, HI BEARDY!”
The song faded out.
Beardy stared at S.
“...Did you just call me ‘Beardy?’” he asked quietly. S looked like a deer in the headlights. She glanced towards me, hoping for an out, but I, dear reader, was laughing too hard to be of any use.
“You did,” he went on, “you called me ‘Beardy!’ Why!?”
“Cuz of your beard, probably. That’s a better name for you than Josh.” Zoolander interjected from out of nowhere, strolling out of the club, a beautiful woman on each arm.
“My name isn’t Josh...” Beardy tried to call after him.
“Who’s name isn’t Josh? Oh! Beardy!” A drunk K could be heard deducing from the back of the room.
He shaved it a week later, but the damage was done. He was Beardy for the rest of the semester.
When I look back on that period of my life now, I can’t help but reflect - with the clarity one only gets from experience - that my time in Germany was not as weird as I thought it was at the time. I lacked the perspective to see that it was all, actually, absolutely bonkers batshit nuts. It was some sitcom shit.
All in all, I highly recommend it.

first previous next
Ripp was the first one off the school bus at 1pm, and his grades sucked, unlike Tank’s. he crumpled the report card up and tossed it to the ground before putting away his homework. He didn’t have work that day so he thought he would take the opportunity to call Ophelia out.
“Hey Ophelia, wanna go to the pool?”
“Will we actually do any swimming this time?”
“Maybe, depends on if anyone makes hot dogs. I love the swimming pool hot dogs.”
“Gross. Yeah, I’ll come. Can you pick me up?”
“Sure I’ll bring the taxi by.”
“Make sure not to honk. I will be waiting.”
“Of course.”
“So then he nuzzled my neck and I was like, no thoughts, brain empty. But then he pulled away and I had to get on the bus. And then at school, he showed up at my locker during break and brought me a water bottle.”
“He did that for me too between third and fourth period. He’s a very sweet guy.”
“Sweet doesn’t even cover it, Phe. He’s really affectionate.”
“You’re having a bromance, its natural.”
“What will my dad say? I mean, the general. What if he kicks me out?”
“I’m sure Johnny would give you a place to stay.”
“I’m not.”
“Come on, his parents are total angels.”
“Yeah, and one of them is my dad’s sworn enemy.”
“He holds nothing against you.”
“Sure. I mean, maybe. But what about Buck? I’d miss him so much. What would he do without me? I’m like, his human shield against Buzz.”
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Sure.”
“Are you gay?”
Ripp bit his lip and thought about how many times today he’d daydreamed about Ophelia. “I don’t think so.”
“Bi, then?”
Ripp froze. He’d never really allowed himself to think about it, just went with the flow.
“Why do you have to put a label on it. I just… everyone is so fucking sexy Ophelia. Especially you.”
“What?”
“Sorry, that was weird of me to say.”
“No, It’s fine. I am hot.”
Ripp tickled Ophelia, laughing.
“Hotter’n’ell!” she hollered.
“You’re pretty hot, too. Maybe we should get in the pool to cool off, haha.”
“I have a better Idea. Wanna dance?”
“But there isn’t any music.”
“Then I’ll sing for you.”
“Now that’s piqued my interest.”
Ripp lead Ophelia in step, singing some Fred Astair song he hardly knew the lyrics to. She laughed at his made up lyrics and put her head on his shoulder. She closed her eyes and smiled. When the song was over, they disengaged their limbs and leaned in for a kiss.
Ripp’s first kiss was amazing. Her lips were so soft and tasted sweet like vanilla chapstick. He didn’t think for a second about how johnny would feel about it. It was only when he saw Johnny arrive later that he realized he should have talked to him about it.
“Hey Johnny, you’re here too? What a coincidence!”
“Actually I stopped by your house and Buck told me you were at the pool.”
“You stopped by my house?”
“Well, I was bored, and Ophelia didn’t pick up the phone. I know I can’t call you, Tank would probably pick up.”
“I’m glad you’re here, Johnny. I have some things to tell you.”
“You can always talk to me. I care what you have to say.”
“I really want to be in your relationship.”
Johnny blinked. “So you wanna go out with me?”
“Yeah. But like, with Ophelia too. At the same time.”
“Have you talked to her about it?”
“Yeah she… she was the one who brought it up. About me dating you while she dates you. But then…”
“I’m listening.”
“Uh… I kissed your girlfriend, dude.”
“What?”
“Well… You kissed me, so I thought...”
“When did I kiss you?”
“When you hugged me this morning. So I thought… Okay I’ll admit, I wasn’t thinking. Like, at all. I just really like you both. So much.”
“This is kind of a lot…I dunno I guess I’m willing to see how it goes if you are?”
“Yeah, totally. I trust you.”
Johnny’s chest swelled with pride in his friend’s trust.
“group meeting, guys.” Ophelia said, walking towards her two hugging crushes.
“What’s up?” asked Johnny.
“I kissed Ripp.”
“Yeah… he told me.”
“Are you mad?”
“I… I don’t really know how I feel. I guess I feel scared. Scared that I might lose my best friends, scared that I would get left behind.”
Ripp squeezed his hand. Johnny held back tightly.
“I’m sorry. I should never have kissed him before asking you. I don’t even know what I’m doing, I’m kind of going through a mental episode and everything’s so messy but, I need you guys. I know you will always be there for me.” Ophelia said.
“I’m really sorry I caused a rift between you. I love you guys so much I never wanted to cause any trouble. I just—I just feel so… so intensely.” Ripp started to cry and his friends hugged him.
“It’s okay, Ripp, you didn’t tear us apart. I love Ophelia, and I love you. It’s really not that difficult.”
“No, No it shouldn’t be, should it?” Ripp said, sniffling.
“We should all just date each other.” Said Ophelia.
“I would like that…” said Ripp.
“Then, since I’ve kissed Johnny, and I’ve kissed you, I think you should kiss Johnny. For real.”
Ripp looked up at Johnny. “Do you want to?”
Johnny nodded.
It wasn’t either of their first kisses, but it was their first kiss with each other, and so it was special.
“You’re skin is soft.” remarked Johnny.
“Thank you. Your skin is rough, like you’re growing in stubble.”
“Dang I just shaved. Sorry. Phe hates kissing me when I have stubble.”
“I like it.” Ripp said.
“Let’s get changed into our swimsuits.” Ophelia said, heading into the changing room. The boys went into theirs and got changed.
Once they got out Ophelia smooched Johnny.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.” Said Johnny.
“I’m sorry I haven’t been as open with you as I should have. I should have told you the moment this stuff crossed my mind. I was scared you wouldn’t understand, because of your background.”
Johnny frowned. “Man I should be allowed to have good parents without it distancing me from my friends. I wanna help you guys. I wanna keep you from feeding into each other’s anxieties.”
“You do! You’re perfect.”
“I try my best, phe!”
“haha. Lets get into the pool!”
“Heck yeah!”
“Marco!” called Ripp.
“Polo!” called Johnny. He didn’t get a response from Ophelia but he felt her splashing close by. He swam towards her.
“Marco!”
“Polo!” called Johnny, farther away this time.
Ripp grabbed Ophelia’s arm and she shrieked.
“You got me!”
Ripp spun around, eyes still closed. “Marco!”
“Polo!” Johnny called, this time much closer. Ripp opened his eyes. Johnny was sitting on the edge of the pool next to him.
“hi.” Said Johnny.
“found you.” Ripp said, softly.
“I walked around. I’m getting pretty tired.”
“Me too. I wonder if there’s any big strong green man around here that could walk us home?”
Johnny smiled at the praise. “I hope so!”

Ozqrow Week Day 7! Free Day!!
(A/N: I've done it! Whehter it be early or late! I've completed @ozqrowweek ! My first ship week! Holy shit I am tired!)
Prompt: Free day!
Ship: Married Ozqrow
Synopsis: The Xio Long Roses and the Branwen-Pines go to the beach, but the youngest, Garnet, is a bit hesitant of trying to have fun. Her dads help her out.
-------
It was a rare occasion that the Branwen/Pine and the Xio Long Rose family to get together and go out somewhere all together. It had also been awhile since they had been to the beach, so when Tai proposed the idea of going to the beach over the weekend, they agreed.
The kids were ecstatic to finally spend time away from home. Well, everyone except the youngest of the Branwen-Pine's; Garnet.
Qrow had found Garnet in the rubble of Mountain Glenn, in what used to be Merlot's lab. She was an experiment who had lost her memory during said collapse. They kept her in a clinic filled with the latest Atlas tech, and almost a year later, Ozpin adopted her into their family-without informing Qrow or the others. That night's dinner was...very eventful, to say the least.
Of course, because she was basically half girl, half grimm or a grimm humanoid type thing-she couldn't really go outside and interact with others, so she was rightfully anxious about going to a place where people were known to gather. Even with the reassurance of Taiyang and her fathers saying that this was a secluded beach, she was still too anxious, but relented at the pleading of her older sister.
And now, they were on a little secluded beach, Qrow and Taiyang going head to head in a volleyball match with Ruby, Yang, Oscar, and Maylea. Ozpin sat and watched from afar as Garnet hid behind a beach chair, listening to Zwei's snoring. Ozpin watched as his husband spiked the ball high into the air as Tai dove for it, hitting it back over the net.
"I got it!" Maylea shouted, hitting hard over the net, hitting Yang in the face. Yang frowned as she grabbed the ball and spiked it in right towards her, her blonde hair a fiery glow.
Maylea nearly missed the horrible attack as the volleyball hit the ground and hit it hard.
"Woah, woah! Let's calm down a bit, Firecracker, " Qrow said.
"That's what cowards say! Face me like a man, Uncle Qrow!" She yelled.
Ozpin couldn't help but laugh. "I wonder where she got that from."
Qrow picked the ball up and held it out. "Alright, Tai. If I win, you watch my kids for a whole weekend."
"And if I win, you watch my kids for a whole week!"
"That's not how this works."
"That's exactly how this works."
"It's-"
"Will you just hurry up?!" Maylea exclaimed.
Ozpin chuckled a bit. They defiantly needed to check Maylea's attitude, but at least she was having fun. Not so much for Garnet.
He glanced to the side to see the little Grimm girl, still under the beach chair and peaking through the little holes. She had covered herself head to toe in layers.
"Garnet, love," he said, turning to face her, "why don't you go play with your siblings and cousins?"
The 7-year-old shook her head. "No, that's okay. I'm fine watching the rat."
"Garnet, Zwei is a dog. Not a rat."
She shrugged. She was never able to grasp the idea of different life forms such as dogs and cats. "When can I go home?"
"Not for a while, dear..."
Garnet peaked out from behind the beach chair. "Why did you even bring me here? I'm not even supposed to be out in public."
Ozpin frowned as he stood up and walked over to Garnet, crouching to the young girl's height. "Garnet, I know you're scared, but I don't want you to miss out on life just because you're different. I want you to experience life in all of its glory-see the magic."
"I thought there was no magic."
"Hypothetically, dear. What I mean to say is, I want you to see the world for what it truly is."
Garnet shuffled back into the shadow of the chair, not saying a word. Ozpin sighed, feeling a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, what's up?" His husband asked, pressing a kiss to his cheek.
"It seems our little Garnet is still hesitant about being here."
Qrow nodded. He leaned down and took a look under the chair. "GG-"
"If you're not gonna take me home, don't bother."
"G, c'mon. At least come out with me to see the ocean, huh? How bout that?" He wagered.
Garnet thought for a minute before she crawled from under the chair and into Qrow's arms. He picked her up and carried her to the shore line, trying to carefully remove her giant floppy hat from her head, but she quickly pulled it back down.
"No."
"Nettie, it's hot. You're probably burning up."
"I don't want anyone to see me."
"No one is here. And if anybody tries to lay their hands on you, I'll kick their ass."
Garnet made a small noise of uncertainty before she removed the sunglasses from her face and the hat from her head. She squinted as her red and black eyes tried to adjust to the bright light.
"Ow..." She mumbled.
"You don't gotta look...just listen."
Garnet nodded, rubbing her eyes as she listened intently. They stood there for a while, taking everything in.
"....Water, " the youngest sibling said, "Water. It sounds..nice. I can hear something out there."
"What else?"
She sniffed the air. "Fresh but salty. I don't like the salt smell. I can smell something.. sweet?"
"You sure?"
She nodded. "It's the others...they're happy and all of their smells are mixing together. It's...kinda gross."
Qrow chuckled. Garnet lifted her head, her eyes widening in surprise. Now she could see the true beauty that was right in front of her. All of the brilliant colors, the vastness of the ocean. She couldn't believe it. "Wow..." She breathed.
"You like it?" He asked.
She nodded, but she was frowning. "...I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For being mean. For not thanking you for bringing me here even though you were really happy about this."
Qrow shook his head. "G, it's okay. You were scared. And I get it. I was a little scared too."
"You were?"
Qrow nodded. "I mean, yeah. You're my kid. I already hate leaving you alone in the house for hours, but bringing you outside-like really outside-that scared me."
"Why?"
"Because you didn't know. You didn't know what the beach was, you didn't know what it was gonna be like. I was afraid you would wander off on your own."
"Qrow, do you know me at all? I'm not stupid."
Qrow laughed. "Yeah, yeah. I know. Just didn't want your first beach trip to be a bust."
"We still have a lot of time left, " Garnet replied, hoping out of Qrow's arms, "I wanna try swimming."
Qrow raised his eyebrows. "What?"
"Swimming. I want to learn to swim. Maylea! I need to borrow your floaty!"
Qrow was still trying to take in everything his daughter just said as she walked over to the others. Did she just say that she wanted to swim? Garnet?
"What's going on?" Ozpin asked.
"She's going to swim."
"Who? Maylea?"
"No, Nettie."
Ozpin's mouth flew open. "What? Garnet?"
"I can't believe it either."
"Should...should we do something?" He asked.
"I dunno. She's...never really been like this."
"Is that a bad thing?"
Qrow opened his mouth to speak, until he saw Garnet with the others. She was smiling as they were all trying to give her advice on how to swim.
She was smiling so big. She was so causal, so relaxed. Like any anxieties that she had were never there in the first place.
"It's...actually a really good thing. Yeah, really good." He said, looking to Ozpin and smiling.
Ozpin breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against Qrow's shoulder. "That's good. That's...good."
Qrow chuckled, pressing a kiss to the top of his husband's head. Fatherhood, anxious husbands, lots of kids, new things, first things-this was his life now.
This was his life, and he was gonna live it for as long as he could.

Cillian

You could never handle me.
Cillian
THEN WHY?! i don’t understand you dude. if you don’t want that then why do you care that i’m fucking other dudes.
𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫.
I care, but there's no point in like telling you about feelings and shit when you don't care.
YOu didnt even come to me.
You went to Ellie's. Fuck that, bro.
Cillian
i do care though! i care a lot.
i dunno how to prove that to you. i’m sorry i didn’t come to you first but i was worried. and i guess i was right to be based on your response.
𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫.
You really confused me with that kiss. And then you just like...cut me out.
Cillian
you don’t think i was confused too? i didn’t know how to be around you. or anyone really. i was scared you hated me, man. it sounds stupid but i thought i fucked everything up
and then you texted me the next day like it didn’t even happen
𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫.
it's like whatever. i've just had a crush on you for like...ever.
Cillian
no you haven’t.
𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫.

i guess i just offer my ass to every guy i meet or whatever.
Cillian
jude. seriously.
𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫.
Why would i make this shit up? you think I want to like you? you're an asshole!
Cillian

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Critical Role (Web Series), Cinderbrush (Web Video) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Jamie Wrenly/Aff Flowers/Cameron Solomon/Sasha Murasaki Characters: Jamie Wrenly, Aff Flowers, Sasha Murasaki, Cameron Solomon Additional Tags: Truth or Dare, Kissing, Mentions of past injury, Childhood Trauma, Nothing explicit but it's discussed, Werewolf Turning, Polyamory Summary:
A game of Truth or Dare causes a distressing realisation for Aff. Luckily, their group is there for them though.
They were all currently spread out on the floor of Jamie's living room, lazily passing a bottle of cheap wine around while a movie ran in the background. None of them were really paying attention to that though, more caught up with each other than anything that was going on around them.
When Aff passed the bottle over to Sasha again, with quite a bit left, she emptied it without a second thought. Cameron gave a low whistle at that. “I thought you didn't roll at parties?” he asked teasingly, as she placed the bottle in the middle of their little circle. So far, she'd been the one who'd had the least alcohol between them. Now, Cam wasn't so sure anymore.
“Well I'm not at a party, am I,” she shot back, and the smile forming on her lips already told them she had a plan. “It's not like I need to keep my guard up when it's just you losers being around.”
“Thanks, we love you too,” Jamie interrupted, quite pleased when his lame comment got a giggle out of Aff at least. Stupidly adorable.
Sasha just rolled her eyes though, not rising to take the bait. “Whatever. Anyway, now that we got this,” saying that, she picked up the bottle again, giving it a slight shake to get their attention, “let's make this evening a little bit more interesting.”
“Not that I'm opposed to it, but do we really need a game of spin the bottle to make out with each other?” Cam asked amused, though he was already more alert, definitely interested. “I kinda thought we were beyond that stage.”
“Let's make it truth or dare then, maybe that makes things more interesting,” she suggested.
Jamie looked sceptic at first, and couldn't help but take a look around the room again. “Fine,” they agreed then. “But if you break anything we can't cover up, you're the one explaining it to my mom.”
“Oh hush, we're not that stupid,” Sasha sighed, before finally turning to Aff, the only one in their group who hadn't voiced an opinion yet.
“Yeah, sure, I'm up for anything,” they agreed quickly, giving the group a smile that seemed slightly tipsy but definitely excited. “I mean, I've never played spin the bottle before, so-”
“How have you never played spin the bottle before?” Cam asked incredulously, before Aff had a chance to start to ramble. “It's like, the game you play as a teen. Or pre-teen, you know, because we were all young at stupid at some point.”
Jamie's sceptical “were?” was easily drowned out in Aff's laughter, which sounded a bit too self-conscious for their friends taste though. “I dunno, I was never really invited to any parties, you know. I just never got the chance, I guess.”They didn't mention that it was mostly because no one wanted to invite the girl who broke her classmate's nose just for calling her that, but the uncomfortable shift in posture was enough to tell everyone that the question had hit a bit too close for comfort.
So before the tension could get awkward, Sasha spoke up again. “Good thing we're here to remedy that then. Would you like to start?”
Aff shrugged at first but then nodded, reaching for the bottle in her hand as they all started to form a proper circle. It felt more exciting than it probably should at their age, as everyone waited with baited breath for the first person to be chosen.
Naturally, it landed on on Cam. Who immediately started waggling his eyebrows at Aff with a suggestive smile. “Dare.”
Aff bit their lip, almost looking nervous if the others couldn't see them fighting a smirk that badly, as they briefly looked between Cam and the others. Jamie groaned. “Oh please, just kiss him already.”
And they did.
As expected, the first few rounds of the game were spend with almost nothing but smooching each other. It was fun, but after a while they actually started to throw in some other challenges as well. Some embarrassing questions here and there, daring each other to take silly photos, or to eat something gross.
When Aff ended up almost tossing their cookies because they insisted on finishing the sandwich that Cam had slapped together (consisting of three different condiments, a thin slice of raw beef, half a marshmallow, three gummy worms, and a spoonful of the mystery leftovers from the fridge), they all finally decided to take a break though.
They ended up in a pile on the couch again, Aff stretched out over Sasha's and Jamie's laps, and their head in Cam's. The boy was trying to make up for the stupid food challenge by running his hands through Aff's hair and gently scratching his nails over their scalp, just the way they liked it.
“If you get food poisoning because of this I'm going to kick your ass,” he muttered, gently flicking Aff's nose when they started to grin again.
“Yeah, I think it's a bit late for that,” Jamie chuckled, while Sasha rolled her eyes again and snuggled closer to them. “But if it gets worse, I can whip something up that should help.”
Aff just shook their head, eyes still gleefully closed as they enjoyed their partners' undivided attention. “Nah, I'm good. Actually, if this is the way you guys react, I might try this more often.”
“I think I'm with Cam on this one,” Sasha spoke up. “You only get to choose truth from now on, and it's your own fault.”
Aff made a disgruntled noise, mostly because it had been their first time being able to play at all and apparently they'd immediately managed to get themselves banned from part of it. But then again. “That's fine, truth is fun,” they muttered eventually, nuzzling a bit closer to Cam again.
“Of course it is, everyone likes talking about themselves,” Jamie said, and surprisingly, it didn't come out as snarky as it could have. “Especially if you give people an excuse to spill their secrets.”
“Well, some secrets,” Sasha interrupted. “Some things you keep to yourself. It's a fun way to start rumours though.”
“Isn't that like, against the rules?”
She chuckled softly and reached over, gently cupping Aff's face for a moment. “Darling, I got so much to teach you.”
Jamie grinned and pressed a kiss to Sasha's temple. “Maybe wait a bit longer before you corrupt them as well, I quite like them like this.”
“Oh, oh no, corrupt me all you want,” Aff said quickly, effectively getting the other's attention again. “I mean, if you want to. It sounds fun.”
The others couldn't help but laugh at that, and it soon turned into a fully blown laughing fit for all four of them, continuously egging each other on and relapsing back into it before anyone had the chance to get themselves under control again. When they did finally calm down again, still letting out the occasional giggle, Cam was the first to speak up again.
“Alright, anyway, does anyone wanna continue playing?” he asked, wiping at his face to get rid of the tear tracks. They hadn't laughed like this in a while, especially not for such a ridiculous reason. Maybe that was the alcohol speaking, though he felt almost sober again by now.
“I would, but I'm also, like, really comfortable right now,” Aff sighed. “Can we do this without moving?” As if to prove their point, they wrapped their arms around Cam's waist, refusing to leave their spot.
Cam chuckled softly. “I guess we could settle on just asking each other weird questions, if that's what you want.” Aff didn't protest at least, and Jamie and Sasha seemed satisfied enough with that solution as well. It was as good a way to pass the time as any, especially when they were all starting to get tired.
“Alright, I'll start,” Sasha said finally, when no one else made any move to do it. “Everyone's first kiss. Go.” Aff and Cam shared a look and started giggling again, and even Jamie had to bite their lip to not join in once more. Sasha looked predictably confused. “What, what did I miss?” she asked.
“Canoe kiss,” Jamie told her, and as understanding dawned on her face, Cameron hit their shoulder in fake outrage.
“You said you wouldn't tell anyone!”
“Not unless offered the right information in return, so don't act surprised,” they chuckled, leaning in a bit to kiss the pout off his face, which worked maybe a little bit too well.
But Sasha interrupted them before they could get lost completely, gently tugging on Jamie's sleeve. “So who was your first kiss then? You didn't answer yet.” Jamie pulled back from Cam again with a sigh, reaching out with one hand though to intertwine their fingers. Cameron appreciated it, gently starting to rub his thumb over the soft skin of the back of their palm.
“Well, this is going to be embarrassing, but- I don't remember,” Jamie told them. At Sasha's unbelieving look, they tried to wave it off. “I know, I know. But there's a reason I have a policy about taking my own products now, at least when I'm working.”
“You really don't remember your first kiss? Isn't that a bit sad?” Aff asked. And if it had been anyone else asking the question, Jamie probably would have taken offence, but they knew that Aff was just like that sometimes. They probably hadn't meant it in a judgemental way.
“Some people would probably profit from not remembering their first kiss, so I'm not too hung up about it,” they admitted with a shrug. “As far as I'm concerned, as long as there is no proof that can be used against me in any way, it doesn't matter. I would much rather focus on who I'm kissing now.”
“That's fair,” Sasha agreed, though she still moved a bit closer and laid an arm around their shoulder. Jamie leaned into it, maybe not needing the comfort but enjoying it anyway. It was really not a huge deal for them, but they were well aware that most people put more significance on this kind of thing.
“So who was yours then?” Cam asked after a few more seconds of silence, looking to Sasha for an answer. “The one who asks has to answer, too. Anything else wouldn't be fair.”
“Fine,” she muttered back, though the blush rising on her cheeks gave away she didn't quite like the new rule. “It was you, doofus.”
“Wait, what?” Cameron thought he'd misheard her at first. “No way, you told me you'd already done it all when we started dating! Didn't you have a thing with Jason once, too?”
“No, I made that up,” she admitted, almost sheepishly. “I didn't want anyone to think I was inexperienced, and Jason certainly didn't mind. It's always been surprisingly easy to get the rumour mill going in my favour, so I figured, why not for that, too?”
“Huh. I guess that makes sense,” Cam muttered, though he was obviously still a bit shaken by the new revelation. “I can't believe I was both yours and Aff's first kiss. That's crazy.”
“Maybe you were Jamie's, too!” Aff piped up, a wide smile on their face. “And neither of you remembers!”
“I could live with that,” Jamie replied immediately, before Cameron could deny it, and prompting another round of laughter. “Sure, let's go with that. Cameron's been my first kiss, then our group is even.”
Cameron shook his head slightly but agreed easily enough. “Sure, that works. Always happy to be of service.”
“And for your sacrifice, you're allowed to choose the next question.”
He wasn't sure if that was actually a reward, but accepted it anyway. After a moment of thinking about it, he nodded again. “Hmm, alright. What's the worst childhood injury you had?”
It wasn't a question Sasha had expected, but she was the first with an answer. “Oh, easy,” she huffed. “Nothing. Maybe a sprained ankle or something, but my parents never really let me do anything fun, and I spend most of my time inside.”
“That's tragic,” Jamie replied with a frown. “I think mine would be the time I cut my hand while looking for herbs, because that's the only thing my mother panicked enough about to actually take me to the hospital.”
“Did it need stitches?” Aff asked, sounding maybe a bit more interested than they should have.
“Yeah, a few. But it wasn't as bad as it looked, really. What about you?”
Aff pondered it for a moment as well, and then got a weird look on their face. “I got bitten by a dog once. But does it count if I don't really remember it?”
“If you don't remember it, how do you know it was your worst?” Cam asked, confused.
“My parents have told me about it a lot and I guess I went to therapy for it for a while?”
That definitely made the others pause, and the sudden silence in the room combined with their stares made Aff uncomfortable enough to start squirming. They finally sat up properly again, sitting down on the arm of the couch beside Cam, who quickly reached out to hold their hand.
“I mean, you don't have to tell us if it's like a really bad memory or something,” the boy quickly assured them, feeling bad now for not thinking about something else.
But Aff just shrugged. “Not really? As I said, I don't remember it. It's kind of a funny story, actually, I don't mind telling.”
“Okay, so what happened?” Sasha asked, not able to hide her curiosity now.
“Yeah, so basically,” Aff started, trying their best to tell the story in a way that actually made sense and not start rambling again halfway through. “I think I was like six, maybe seven years old. And back then we lived in a house that had this open backyard that would just lead into the woods, you know, and I do remember that I was there all the time.”
True to their words, they didn't seem to get more agitated or nervous while speaking, but the other three still kept a close eye on their body language as they went on. Cam gently tugged them a bit closer as well, missing the intimacy from just a few minutes ago when Aff had been spread out over their laps.
“Your parents just let you roam the woods by yourself? When you were six?” Sasha asked in disbelief, and before Aff could continue.
“Well, yeah,” they replied. “It wasn't all that big, and I was, like, really small. So if I went back now it would probably seem really small, too. Anyway. So one day I went out after lunch, and apparently I was gone a lot longer than usual. My dad was about to go out looking for me when I finally showed up again, and whenever he tells me about this he still gets really pale when he remembers that part. Because he opened the door and I was just covered in blood.”
Everyone's eyes went wide at that, even Jamie looked shocked behind their red tinted sunglasses. Aff gave a nervous laugh, as if they didn't know how else to react, and quickly continued.
“He said he didn't even ask me what happened, he and mom just packed me in the car and drove me to the hospital. He also said it took me like an hour to start talking again at all, and that I didn't remember anything back then, either. But yeah, I had a bunch of bitemarks on my legs and like, upper torso? And tons of scratches. And most were really shallow, but some have left scars and stuff.”
Cam remembered seeing them, now that they were talking about it. A few white lines and dots criss crossing over most of Aff's back, marks that no one had ever really spoken or asked questions about. They'd had better things to do at summercamp back then. But the scars did resemble old bite marks, he'd just never bothered to think about were they might have come from.
He placed a gentle kiss on their shoulder, just as Sasha spoke up again, still looking concerned. “But, were you okay afterwards? I mean, that must have been a huge thing for you.”
Aff shrugged again, and finally leaned closer to Cam. “Not really? I'm missing a few days there, so all I remember if my mom taking care of the wounds afterwards. Apparently there was a whole police investigation about it too, because at first they weren't sure if maybe my parents had anything to do with the injuries, but the doctors insisted that dog attack was the only thing that made sense.” “Did they search the forest, or do anything else after that?”
“Oh, yeah, but they never found anything. There was a newspaper article and everything, but no one saw anything,” Aff told her. “But some people apparently collected money or something so I could go to therapy for a while? I don't really know the details, you'd have to ask my dad.”
“But you're not scared of dogs now,” Jamie stated, remembering that they'd seen Aff playing with dogs before. And enthusiastically, too, no sign of any fear.
“No, I never way,” Aff confirmed. “But my anger issues got like really really bad after that, so that's why they send me. Not that it helped much.”
The witch looked even more sceptical now, and raised an eyebrow at Aff. “And you've never considered that it might have been something else than a dog?”
“Why?”
God bless them, Jamie thought, but sometimes Aff could be dense as a brick wall. “Babe, you're a literal werewolf. And it's not like that's a trait that runs in your family.”
Aff was quiet for a moment, and then seemed to really process what Jamie was getting at. All they uttered was a very quiet “oh.”
“Yes, oh. That seriously never crossed your mind?” Jamie asked, incredulously, and getting louder as the were talking. “Not even when your anger issues got worse and you started shifting for the first time?”
“Hey, easy,” Cam interrupted, pulling Aff into his lap now and wrapping both arms around their waist to hold them close. “It's not their fault, they don't even remember the attack in the first place.”
Aff was frowning slightly, but felt like Jamie was right. It was weird that they had never put these two things together. They hadn't even really thought about the incident in years though, it had never even crossed their mind. “Well, I dunno,” they mumbled. “It seems kind of obvious now, I mean- I guess it's possible that that's where it came from?”
“Either way, I think it's a bit too late to say anything for certain now,” Sasha said gently, reaching over to lay a hand on their knee as well. “And it's not like it's all that important where it comes from, right? It's just important what you do with it.”
“But- if someone else lost it enough to attack me back then, does that mean that I could do the same to some other kid?” they asked, looking distraught now. Cam turned his head to glare at Jamie, mouthing over Aff's head 'Did you have to say that?'
Jamie gave a helpless shrug, but then focused on Aff again as well, reaching out to cup their face. “Hey, listen. Sasha's right, we can't know for certain that's what it was, and I'm sorry for implying otherwise. Second, if it really was another werewolf attacking you, who said they didn't have it under control? They might as well have done that to you on purpose, we don't know.” Aff clearly didn't like that idea any better, but they didn't look like they were about to go into a panic anymore either, so Jamie continued. “And lastly, beside the fact that you're already actively working on your control of this stuff, you're not alone. You have us, and we're all ready to help if you ever feel like you are loosing it.”
They nodded slowly, making an appreciative little sound when Cam started rubbing their back. “Yeah, yeah you're right,” they finally sighed. “I guess I'm not at that point yet. And-”
Sasha interrupted again. “And you never will be. You're better than that, Aff.”
Cam nodded, hoping that the conflicted look on their face wouldn't stay. They all fell silent again, still huddled up and hoping to comfort Aff however they could, while they themselves were trying to come to terms with the idea of being able to pass this on to someone else if they weren't careful enough. It wasn't a good feeling, but the others being there made it better.
“Okay, no more questions for tonight, huh?” Cam spoke up eventually, keeping his voice gentle. “Does anyone wanna go to bed yet or should we just- I dunno, watch another movie or something?”
“I'm fine with either,” Aff mumbled, admittedly still a bit more subdued than they usually were, but also feeling a little better again. Since no one else showed any preferences either they decided on watching another movie in bed, which was the superior choice in Aff's opinion anyway.
Along with Cam they called dibs on middle spoon, since Jamie's bed was actually the only one to fit all four of them more of less comfortably without them needing to pile two or more mattresses on the floor. They had gone over to doing that when they were all sleeping over at Aff's house instead, which happened more often, but everyone being able to sleep on the same bed for once was nice.
After a while, about halfway through the movie, Sasha and Jamie fell asleep, leaving Cameron and Aff awake by themselves. Cam was still holding on to Aff as well, having pretty much refused to let go since the whole werewolf conversation earlier.
Tucking a strand of their hair back, Cam leaned in a bit closer to whisper. “Hey, you doing okay? You're not still worried about what you said earlier, are you?”
Aff sighed softly and nudged close to him, and in the dim light of the laptop screen still running in front of them Cam could see their concerned expression. “I don't know. Kinda, I guess?” Their bit their lip again, and at first Cam though he's need to keep pushing. But then they continued. “Even if I don't remember the pain or anything, I know that it was a terrible experience for my parents, you know? And it's turned me into a werewolf, which is kind of cool, but also like really fucking scary. I don't wanna do that to anyone.”
“Hmm. You know, Jamie has a ton of books on all kinds of weird stuff, maybe we can find something about werewolves in there,” Cam suggested, actually having been thinking about this for a while. “And maybe we can find something that either makes it easier to keep your cool, or something that makes it impossible for you to pass it on? I mean, that kind of information has got to exist somewhere.”
“You think?” Aff asked, actually sounding hopeful. “That would be nice, yeah. I know it probably sounds stupid now, but I always thought being a werewolf is just something that happens to some people. That it's, like, random.”
“That's still a possibility, don't forget that,” Cam reminded them, closing his eyes now as he was getting more and more tired as well. “My thing was kinda random, right?”
“I don't know if it counts as random if something literally chose you,” Aff chuckled. “But I guess you're right. Or maybe it is a family thing, and it just skipped a few generations or something. That can happen, right?”
“Unlikely,” Cam muttered. “I still think you'd know, in that case. Sasha's thing is a family thing, right? And she knows, even though her parents are shitty and just left her to figure all the stuff out by herself.”
“Huh, I didn't know that,” Aff admitted, making Cam realize once more that they were still, in a sense, “the new kid”. They hadn't known the rest of them for years, like he, Jamie, and Sasha had. And while Aff probably knew some things about him the others didn't, just because of the anger management classes, the other three of them still knew more about each other just due to growing up in the same tiny city. And especially he and Sasha had been sharing secrets with each other way before the other two had joined the picture.
“Yeah, you know what, we should probably talk about that,” he said. “Like, all of us. Where we think our stuff comes from, and what we know for certain. That would probably be a good thing to know.”
“Probably,” Aff agreed, sounding like they were slowly starting to drop off as well.
“Tomorrow then?” Cam asked.
“Tomorrow,” came the sleepy reply, and it didn't take long after that before the two fell asleep as well, barely remembering to close the laptop before they did so.

Part 3
<<Prev | Next>>
"So how was that show you went to last night?" Javier asked as he preened in front of the mirror.
"Oh my god, it was so, so good," Angel replied as he peeled off his shirt and folded it. "Totally worth taking off a Saturday for. I actually got to talk to the lead singer for one of the bands and he was so gorgeous."
"Yeah? Tell me you got pictures."
"I got a couple when they were playing, here, come look." He motioned Javier over and retrieved his phone from his locker.
Opening up his photo gallery, he'd already pushed the photos from the show down under a wall of selfies, most of the same angle and expression, with only the most minute of differences.
"Girl," Javier said, clicking his tongue as he looked over Angel's shoulder, "you are so conceited."
"Shut up, I am not. This is advertising."
"Sure it is, Miss 'I'm a thousand followers away from ten K.' I saw your post begging for brand deals. Hey, if you get those flat tummy teas to sponsor you, you can do a post about how they flush out your system so you can take a ton of dick."
"Oh my godddd," Angel laughed. "You are such a bitch! Do you want to see these pics or not?"
"Yaaaas, show me!"
"Here," Angel tapped a photo and it expanded to fill the screen. It was probably the best picture he'd gotten at the show, one of Demie as he'd growled into the mic, his long hair cascading on either side of his face, which was half cast in shadow by the stage lights. Angel was especially fond of the way the shadows highlighted Demie's long, gaunt face, and the way the fake horns curled up around his ears.
"...Girl," Javier said. His tone didn't sound like he was impressed. More like he was being judgemental.
"What?"
"That is like, one of the ugliest dudes I've ever seen."
"What? No he isn't, he's hot A.F."
"Giiiirl, you can't be serious. Look at that ratty-ass beard! Oh my god, could you imagine trying to kiss someone with one of those?"
"Oh whatever, you think bald old men are hot."
"Nooo, I think Daddies are hot, not every old guy is a Daddy."
"Ugh, gross."
"You won't think it's so gross when I'm married to a hot rich old guy who dies and leaves me his mansion," Javier said, giving Angel a little shove and heading back over to the mirror.
"That's right, I forgot your idea of romance is murder," Angel shot back. Javier shot him a look, pursing his lips, and gave Angel the finger before heading out of the locker room.
Angel laughed to himself. He took another look at the picture of Demie. He'd taken surprisingly few photos of the show - something about the music had just taken such a strong grip on him that he'd forgotten to document the experience. In a way, it had felt too intimate to post on Instagram with a long-winded caption about how much he loved music or whatever.
Plus, he preferred to tag artists in his posts, and despite doing a lot of digging, he hadn't been able to find any social media presence for Bacchus at all. No Instagram, no Twitter, no Spotify, not even a Bandcamp page. He'd even scrolled back through nearly a hundred of Marius' Instagram posts, looking for a picture of Demie or Elaine, but both were notably absent.
That tracked, he guessed, considering Demie had said he didn't have a phone, but he could've sworn he saw Elaine on one. Surely she posted something about them, at least to let fans know if they had a show coming up. But all he'd been able to find was a post on a heavy metal Subreddit with a low-quality recording of the band, asking if it was true that Marius used to play for them. There were only two replies - one reporting that Marius had said in an interview that he used to play bass for an indie band, and another saying that Marius' music sucked.
Angel sighed, thinking that he should've gotten a selfie with the band, to memorialize the show for himself if no one else. With that thought, he put his phone back in his locker and stripped down, changing into a g-string and heading out onto stage.
He liked his job, for the most part. He enjoyed the freedom of being openly, luridly sexual in front of others. He enjoyed feeling like he had a power over the men who came into the club. It was a power he didn't really get elsewhere. Sure, he was tall and muscular for an Asian man, but in comparison to the average American, he was still short, and in the local gay scene he was expected to be a submissive little bottom.
Not that there was anything wrong with being a bottom. He definitely was one. But he didn't appreciate the way he was expected to be a doormat for tops.
When he was dancing, though, he held the power. And he loved that feeling.
He didn't love when drunk guys tried to get handsy, though. And he didn't love having to pay to work the club, nor did he enjoy how unreliable the pay was. Some nights he could pull upwards of $600, others he struggled to get $100. Taking a Saturday off for the sake of a concert was an especially unwise move, since weekend nights were the best financially.
He didn't really regret it, though. He was glad he'd gone to the show and had the opportunity to meet Demie. The singer occupied his mind the entire day, so much so that, after the club closed for the night and he got home, he pulled out his phone and dialed Demie's number, already saved to his contacts.
The phone rang four times, and he was ready - albeit let down - to accept that Demie had given him a fake number when a female voice finally answered.
"Hello?" She asked groggily.
"Um… is Demie there?" He asked.
"Who the fuck…" He could hear her say, though it sounded like she'd held the phone away from her. Her voice came back louder and asked, "Can I ask who's calling?"
"This is Angel, Demie gave me this number after the show last night?"
"Jesus fucking…" Her voice got muffled, but he could make out that she was shouting Demie's name.
After shouting Demie's name twice, Angel could just barely make out Demie's voice shouting something back.
"Phone! It's that guy from the show," Elaine shouted. There was some weird feedback, like she was rubbing the mouthpiece of the phone on her shirt, and then a clatter as the phone was handed over.
"Hello?" Demie asked.
"Hi, this is Angel. We met the other night."
"Dude, it's like four in the morning."
"Oh! Oh shit, you're right. Sorry, I work nights. I can call back later…"
"Nah, it's cool, I was already up."
Angel could hear Elaine shout something that sounded like 'I fucking wasn't.' Demie grumbled something and a few seconds later there was the sound of a door slamming shut.
"What's up?" Demie asked. He made an 'oof' sound, like he was flopping down on a bed or chair.
"What's your band's Instagram handle?"
"Oh. We don't do that shit."
"Seriously? What about Spotify? Or Bandcamp?"
"What are those?"
"You're kidding."
"Nope. Never heard of them."
"Where do you sell your music, then?"
"Uh… I've got some cassette tapes that we used to sell at shows. They're old stuff though, back when Mar was still in the band. Why, do you wanna buy one?"
"Holy shit," Angel said with a laugh, tossing himself down on his futon. "What fucking decade did you walk out of?"
"What? Tapes are cool. I don't know why anyone would want some e-file digital copy on their iPod or whatever when they could have a physical copy."
"God, you sound like a hipster."
"I don't really know what that means but I'll take it as a compliment."
There was a brief lapse in the conversation. Angel wasn't sure what to say. The more he found out about Demie, the more quaint he seemed. It was oddly endearing, knowing that there was no way Demie would've seen his Instagram. He never would've seen the airbrushed photos or the flirty stories or the pics of beautifully crafted breakfasts that he never actually ate because he had to maintain his abs for the sake of his job.
In a world where everyone had to put their best self on display at all times for a digital audience, Demie had no expectations. He didn't see Angel-the-wannabe-micro-influencer. There was something beautifully vulnerable in that.
"So what are you doing up at 4am?" Angel eventually asked.
"Eh… I was writing some music. Haven't really done much since Mar moved out, but I dunno… I just kinda got this flash of inspiration. Just gotta see where it takes me, y'know?"
"No, I get it. Back when I was in school, I just couldn't write essays during the day, somehow the words only came to me when I'd been up past midnight."
"Hm. Yeah."
"Can I ask what the song's about, or is it like… trade secret stuff?"
"Yeah, no, it's cool. You ever heard of Orpheus?"
"Oh, yeah. A friend of mine is in love with that one musical, what's it called? Hadestown?"
"Oh shit, they made a musical out of that? I thought it was just an album."
"See, I didn't know it was an album first."
"That's cool. So this song's more about the original myth…"

A Word For Us || Soft
Summary: June 21-22: Olaf comes out to Sindri! And then Sindri starts to learn more about himself too! Good golly gosh, we love kids figuring it out.
@huldufolk-hjarn
June 21, 2020
Olaf [deleted]: hi sindri u can ignore this since ur working but um hi!!
Olaf [deleted]: HI sindri do you have some time to talk about someth
Olaf [deleted]: HI sindri so i was googling
Olaf: 👋 ☃️ 🤗
Sindri: olaffffff
Sindri: hi
Olaf: hi!
Olaf [deleted]: wow ive forgotten how to talk to u like a normal person loooosflkj
Olaf: how's pixie's! is your shift going well? :)
Sindri: it's kinda slow right now
Sindri: im sitting here on a stool drying glasses lol
Sindri: so fun
Sindri: how's your day
Olaf: ah i know you're kidding but i love drying glasses
Olaf: i like the sound the glasses make, the little rubby sound? from the towel
Olaf: squeaky clean!
Sindri: like the squeak
Olaf: yes exactly
Olaf: and then arranging them in rows
Sindri: i had one that wasn't squeaky i should wash it again
Olaf: you should, customers deserve squeaky clean glasses
Sindri: yeah they do
Sindri: i was thinking about making myself one of those sodas we discovered last time
Sindri: like the regular soda water with the grenadine?
Olaf: ooooh
Olaf: yeah thats delicious
Sindri: i think peri might be starting to wonder where all her grenadine is going haha
Olaf: oh well dont have too much now
Sindri: i've had like three
Olaf: hmm that seems like enough
Olaf: though maybe we should get a soda water maker
Olaf: then we could make our own, they sell those you know
Olaf: we can order it online
Olaf: we can soda-fy any drink then, i think it'd be great for parties
Sindri: really?
Sindri: i thought it was a thing only bars had and like also places that make soda obviously
Olaf: no, you can get one for your home! and an espresso machine
Olaf: we should get an espresso machine too
Sindri: we should because then we wouldn't have to spend so much money on coffee
Olaf: well we would still have to buy the coffee for the machine but probably cheaper in the long run!
Olaf: really there are a lot of fun kitchen appliances we could get
Olaf: a waffle maker for example
Olaf: oh i saw a donut pan that was very cool
Olaf: there's a handheld smoothie maker but i think its better to just use the blender so you can make more smoothie
Sindri: i watched a video that showed how many soups you can make when you have a food processor which i think is just a bigger fancier blender but i like soups
Olaf: i saw a special kind of cutting device that slices an apple though into six equal pieces!
Sindri: i think my favorite food is soup
Olaf: soup is very good
Olaf: soups and stews
Sindri: yeah they remind me of home
Sindri: but waffles are good too
Sindri: if we made waffles we could decorate them
Olaf: yes! i love waffles because each hole can have something different
Olaf: like a little presennt
Olaf: likea jellybean, or a peanut
Sindri: you want to put jellybeans on your waffles?
Olaf: well that was just an example but im sure it would taste good
Olaf: i like jellybeans and i like waffles
Sindri: jellybeans get stuck in my teeth
Olaf: sindri i also like you as a friend
Olaf: my best friend
Sindri: i like you as a friend too
Sindri: yeah you're my best friend
Sindri: are you okay?
Olaf: yes
Olaf: i was just doing some googling
Olaf: Google as you know is very useful. It answers almost every single question ive ever had since moving here
Sindri: yeah i love google
Olaf: yeah
Olaf [deleted]: i don't know if ive ever really told you but i think i worry about a lot of things. i dont like talking about it because i dont want everyone to worry about /me/ because then id just worry more about how im worrying everyone else but wow this is nonsense ANYWAY i have been really worried about...myself and feeling like something is wrong with me because
Olaf: i dont know if i ever told you this but for a long time, ive sort of felt something was wrong with me. it started when we began to date, but not because of anything you did, i think that was just the first time i realized i really wasn't like everyone else. at least i didnt feel the way everyone wanted me to feel or expected me to feel. and it was really awful, i just thought i was a big fake the whole time, like a liar almost, and then of course we broke up because i was so bad at it and everything but i still felt that awful feeling anyway. and i just didnt know why and its never gone away so i googled it today and googled and googled and i think i found the thing that explains me better than anything else and i think its important that i tell you what that is and im really nervous!!!!!!! look an emoji 🎈
Sindri [deleted]: we didn't break up because you were bad at anything
Sindri: there are a lot of things i want to say but im going to wait until you say your thing
Sindri: also i love emojis :)
Sindri: 🦆
Olaf: right, they're very comforting 🐭
Sindri: oh and please don't be nervous
Sindri: you can tell me anything
Olaf: im very nervous
Olaf: im even texting u and i know thsi should be an in person conversation ahha
Sindri: i think sometimes texting can make things easier to say
Sindri: it isn't like you're avoiding an in person conversation either because we live together lol
Sindri: im sure we will also talk about whatever it is in person
Olaf: right yes probably
Olaf: okay!
Olaf: so um yeah! humans have a lot of words for things and i think the word that fits me best is aromantic....ta-da!! 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉
Olaf: it means i dont experience romantic attraction. because i never have, never, i dont' know why and i dont like dating like, i dont want to be anyone's boyfriend it makes me feel gross
Olaf: but i do want to be your best friend
Olaf: i was talking to finn and i said something that felt true but also kind of like i was contradicting myself? i dont know, feelings are very confusing but basically i said that you're my right person
Olaf: and i think thats still true even tho i dont want to date you and i dont mean that like i am in love with you or anything because im not and egjaldkf that feels mean to say but im trying to say that i really love you sindri and i never want to date you but you are more special to me than my other friends
Olaf: see it sounds like im contradicting myself
Olaf: also like im rejecting u when u didnt even ask me out so!!! sorry oh frosty
Sindri: i love you too olaf
Sindri: you'll always be my best friend
Sindri: always no matter what
Sindri: you're my right person too and i think i kind of get it
Sindri: not completely but i want to learn and i will look up that word but i don't think you're mean or fake or anything like that
Olaf: are you sure because i just read over those texts and it felt mean
Sindri: i don't feel insulted or rejected really
Olaf: I just want you to know it isnt you
Olaf: i used to think i was just rejecting you or something but the idea of dating anyone really is gross for me. like i dont want to ever stop being your roommate though iknow we probably will stop eventually
Sindri: im kind of sad you felt like a fake and a liar though
Sindri: why would we stop
Sindri: i don't want to stop being your roommate ever either
Olaf: well if you ever enter into a promise with someone
Olaf: you know, if you fall in love
Olaf: i probably wont be yoru roommate then. which is okay!
Sindri: but you're my right person
Sindri: when we were apart i was really sad a lot because i missed you
Sindri: and now that you're here im happy a lot of the time
Sindri: i don't want to be somewhere you aren't that sounds stupid to me
Olaf: i dont either. though we wouldnt be far or anything i mean if we stay here in swynlake we'd probably still be in the same town. i just dont want you to... um...not move on? I dont know if thats what you're doing idk sorry i feel like im making a lot of assumptions right now
Olaf: i dont want to hold you back if you fall in love with someone else
Olaf: thats all
Sindri: can i ask u a question
Olaf: yes
Sindri: is it okay if im a little bit in love with you? i mean..i'm not saying i want to date you or be your boyfriend because i don't want to do anything you don't want to do and i want us to be us and honestly im not even sure what being in lvoe is i guess except that i like you most and i like everything we do and that's the way i know how to say that
Sindri: i just say that with like
Sindri: zero expectations from it except you just being my friend for as long as you want to be
Sindri: sorry
Sindri: i probably shouldn't have said that
Sindri: i hope it didn't make you feel gross
Olaf: it only makes me upset if i think about somehow letting you down which i think is sort of my problem not your problem, which i realized recently too
Olaf: i just worry about a lot of things sindri
Olaf: i worry more than you might think i worry haha, i just worry that one day you'll decide that being my best friend isnt enough for you
Sindri: i will never decide that
Sindri: i love you as a person way more than i am "in love" with you which the more i think about it is a stupid concept anyway like what does it even mean
Sindri: when i say it it just means you are my favorite person
Olaf: i mean i mean that too but im not in love with you
Olaf: i dont know bc i dont feel it
Olaf: so maybe what you feel is or isnt love...i dunno sometimes i think romance is a game people play ahha i dunno
Sindri: i don't know how people date people they don't really know
Olaf: well i dont get what makes it a date
Sindri: ....wow
Sindri: me either
Olaf: because i could go out with lots of strangers and get to know them but i wouldnt call it dates id just call it...uh...getting to know a new friend haha
Olaf: like you went on dates with nemo when you moved here if u think about it
Olaf: except you didnt
Olaf: i dont know
Sindri: yeah
Olaf: i guess if people want to kiss at the end
Sindri: yeah maybe
Olaf: i just dont want you to lie to me
Olaf: like i did sort of lie to you for a little sindri and i am so sorry i did but i dont want to lie anymore so if you say that you're in love thats okay it is
Sindri: yeah i think maybe being honest about feelings is a really good idea for us
Sindri: because i don't want you to feel uncomfortable ever
Olaf: and i really dont want to hurt you
Sindri: i don't think you will but i will let you know if it ever happens
Sindri: im being really honest when i tell you that i only want what you want i will never feel like i'm missing out as long as you are my best friend okay
Sindri: i don't want dates and a boyfriend i don't feel like im missing out on that stuff
Sindri: i mean i guess i could theoretically want it but i don't miss it
Sindri: i feel complete without it
Olaf: okay. im gonna work really hard to believe that
Olaf: it might take me some time but thats because i think i still dont feel uh... enough i guess
Olaf: but we promised we wouldnt lie to each other so if you tell me thast what you want i believe you
Sindri: also i know it's not my place to say but you are enough i promise you are so great and anyone who knows you is lucky to have you in their lives. i'm so lucky you are my best friend olaf.
Olaf: well i dunno why you wouldnt think its your place to say as my best friend you should compliment me thank you x3
Olaf: but i know you mean that
Olaf: and im lucky too
Sindri: thank you for telling me all this stuff
Olaf: thank you for listening
Olaf: and not hating me haha
Sindri: lol peri might hate me because i took a long break oops
Sindri: but i'll see you in a couple hours okay?
Sindri: i'm going to give you the best hug ever!
Sindri: it'll be almost like an olaf hug
Sindri: maybe
Olaf: oh oops
Sindri: idk i'll try
Olaf: haha im sure it will be even better than an olaf hug
Olaf: it will be a sindri hug ^.^
Sindri: :)
Olaf: we can maybe talk more when you come home too, if you want
Sindri: okay
Sindri: i think i'm going to look stuff up too when i'm drying glasses
Sindri: just so im prepared
Olaf: yeah! you can ask me questions
Olaf: though im still learning too haha
June 22, 2020
Olaf: hi sindri, i found more words!
Sindri: haha yeah?
Olaf: yeah xPPP
Olaf: there are lots of fun ones humans have a great sense of humour
Olaf: like wtfromantic ahha that made me laugh
Sindri: what does that mean
Olaf: WELL
Olaf: "a romantic orientation in the aromantic spectrum that describes people who cannot differentiate platonic from romantic attraction, cannot define romantic attraction and therefore aren't sure if they experience it"
Olaf: im glad there's a word for it and that word isnt stupid haha
Sindri: oh hey i like that one
Sindri: i think that one makes a lot of sense
Sindri: i've been thinking about like
Sindri: the line or whatever and it feels really arbitrary to me
Sindri: like what makes something a date? or not a date? you know
Olaf: exactly!!!!
Olaf: tho ive never felt any um, i dunno anything different for anyone so
Sindri: oh like where you want to "date" them
Olaf: right or like
Olaf: butterflies
Olaf: people talk about butterflies and i never get them for other people. i get flutters for other things
Olaf: like when im excited for an event you know?
Sindri: yeah
Sindri: i've been looking at stuff too
Olaf: oh have u also found words i have a list of words here but you can go next if you want
Sindri: no i want to know what your words are first
Olaf: well this next one is fun, it's squish
Olaf: guess what that means
Sindri: is it like a crush
Sindri: it sounds nicer than a crush lol
Olaf: yeah!
Olaf: its wanting to be friends with someone i guess, like, really badly
Olaf: i actually dont think ive had squishes either haha
Olaf: i mean! i want to be lots of people's friends but
Sindri: oh that's cool
Sindri: wow i love my new words so far
Sindri: squish is just a really cute one
Olaf: yeah i think its a very cute word x3
Olaf: There's also aesthetic attraction! which just means liking how someone looks, which is different than romantic or sexual attraction
Sindri: i found that one too
Sindri: i've been trying to figure myself out actually
Sindri: and that one was something i think i relate to a lot
Olaf: oooh wow im glad these words are helping you too
Olaf: yes i think i definitely understand aesthetic attraction.
Olaf: i actually think i might be asexual too? which is pretty crazy because i like sex but apparently thats not mutually exclusive!
Olaf: people shoudl really teach a class on this stuff
Sindri: it was also weird because it made me realize that when people say they are attracted to other people it means they actually want to have sex with them
Sindri: a lot of the time
Olaf: i KNOW
Sindri: that's CRAZY
Olaf: i dont not want to have sex with people? i dont know, i just dont think about it
Olaf: but if i think someone is pretty my first thought isnt oh lets have sex
Sindri: i never mean that when i say someone is attractive like i never look at a person and like want them to YES
Sindri: wow
Olaf: wow frosty!
Olaf: we have that in common haha
Sindri: i'll tell you one of my words
Olaf: yes!
Sindri: demisexual
Olaf: oh i saw that one!
Sindri: it's where you only feel sexual attraction to someone you have an emotional connection to already
Sindri: i think that's me
Olaf: ah that sounds like you
Olaf: what a beautiful sindri word
Sindri: thank you
Olaf: i think i read another word for us
Olaf: did you come across queerplatonic?
Sindri: no
Olaf: oh!
Olaf: its a good one haha
Olaf: i mean i think so
Olaf: its kind of hard to describe exactly im still reading about it but uhhhh okay maybe i'll just link you
Olaf: https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Queerplatonic_Relationship
Olaf:it kind of sounds like some promises, you know? though most promises are romantic
Sindri: oh hey
Sindri: wow this really does seem like an us word
Olaf: yeah doesnt it!
Olaf: like how everyone thought we had to be more than friends
Sindri: yeah which is dumb
Sindri: i really like this one
Sindri: this one makes me feel like
Sindri: idk if feels right
Olaf: yeah i dont feel as stupid anymore haha
Olaf: if other people are like us, i mean
Olaf: maybe not exactly like us
Sindri: well it even says there are lots of ways they can be
Sindri: which is cool
Sindri: like if it makes sense to the people in the relationship that's how it is it's about being open and being comfortable
Olaf: yeah each one has different rules apparently
Sindri: i also think it's kind of silly that like friendships are apparently "not as intense" as romantic relationships which i guess is why this exists right
Olaf: yeah i think so
Olaf: though its confusing still because some articles say its asexual and other ones say that there can be sex
Olaf: but that goes back to teh different rules thing
Olaf: i think each one must be like a snowflake
Sindri: yeah i think it is about what the people in them want
Sindri: are we
Sindri: or like
Sindri: i don't know i think maybe if i wanted to define our relationship i might want to use that word
Sindri: which is something we would totally have to talk about
Olaf: i think id like that
Olaf: i just have always wanted to be your best friend forever which sounds so silly and childish but i dunno
Olaf: maybe we dont need all the words for it but maybe we do?
Olaf: or not!
Olaf: haha
Sindri: i want to be your best friend forever too olaf
Sindri: like i mean it
Sindri: i don't ever want to stop being friends with you and when i think about what i want my life to be like you are always in it
Sindri: and maybe having a word would make that easier because we wouldn't feel like we are doing things wrong?
Sindri: even though there isn't a right way
Sindri: but just in terms of other people and maybe feeling pressured to be different? i dont' know
Olaf: i think it would make me feel better about not leading you on or disappointing you and i know you say i dont do those things but it makes me nervous
Sindri: yeah and i would feel better about feeling like i'm accidentally pressuring you
Olaf: yeah
Olaf: we should definitely talk about it
Olaf: there are actually checklists and sheets and stuff hehe its kind of cute
Sindri: aww really?
Olaf: yeah :3
Sindri: when do you want to talk about it
Sindri: do you want to like plan a time
Olaf: oh i was just going to do it whenever you wanted to?
Olaf: if you want we can plan a time
Sindri: i think i would like to talk about it when i see you next so probably tonight haha
Sindri: it feels really good to maybe have a word
Olaf: oh okay! I can print out these worksheets if you want
Olaf: i'll make snacks hehe
Sindri: okay lol i can bring home some of that soup from remys too because we can't just eat SNACKS
Olaf: i do like that soup!
Sindri: good we have a plan then!

Strung Along
Pairing: Peter Parker x Reader Summary: You were in love with Harry Osborn but you couldn't help feeling like he was stringing you along. You finally reached your breaking point, Peter helps you through your heartbreak and you soon realize that maybe Harry wasn't the one. A/N: This was inspired by B team by Marianas Trench. There are some lyrics I used as dialogue. (It's a great song. If you don't know it I recommend you listen to it)
-------
You were convinced that you had fallen in love with Harry Osborn. Everytime you saw him your heart skipped a beat, your were practically glued to his side. You weren't dating but the possibility was there. He just wasn't ready yet, but you were willing to wait. You had met him after he had transferred to Midtown last year. He could've easily become popular with his good looks and his money, but he wasn't into popularity and instead decided to run with the losers of the school. You, Peter, Ned, and MJ. All of you had easily become friends with him but you could tell he considered Peter his best friend. Which was fine because you weren't aiming to be just friends. From the moment you laid eyes on Harry you just knew that he was the one.But there was a major problem. He couldn't make up his mind whether he wanted to date you or not. Harry knew about your feelings completely. You told him how you felt a few months back and ever since then you felt you were stuck in the same place with him. He said he wasn't ready for a relationship but he also said things like when he is ready for a girlfriend he hoped it would be you. And now you were stuck between sticking around or trying to move on.
A sigh left your lips from your spot on Peter's floor. You two decided to work on homework together before Ned, MJ, and Harry were supposed to come over for movie night.Peter looked at you from his bed after hearing your sigh, "You okay, (N/N)."
"Yeah, I'm fine." You sighed again.
"You sure? It seems like something's on your mind."
You hated how well Peter knew you sometimes. "It's- it's just Harry."
"Oh Harry, of course..do you- do you want to talk about it?" Peter asked, moving to the other side of his bedroom to sit next to you. You shrugged. "Come on, you'll feel better if you do." He said, throwing an arm around you, rubbing your arm up and down. You and Peter had grown up togther with Ned, and as close as Harry considered himself to be with Peter, he still wasn't as close as you were to him.
"Fineee." You whined, leaning against Peter's shoulder. "I've been thinking a lot-"
"Oh no that's never good."
"Shut up." You laughed and smacked his chest, "But seriously, something happened a few weeks ago and I just don't know what to do now."
"Wait, you guys didn't- like k-kiss did you?" Peter stiffened.
You scoffed, "I wish, but no, nothing like that."
He relaxed, "Then, what happened?"
"Two weeks ago I saw him flirting with another girl." You said saddly. "But then later that night was our movie night. You, Ned, and MJ were asleep, Harry was half asleep laying his head on my lap but I was still awake. He started mumbling all of these things to me, like cute things about how I'm his 'ideal' girl and how 'sweet and pretty' I am- and I dunno, I'm just so confused."
Peter bit his lip as he listened to you ramble, "He's been doing this for a while now (N/N)." Peter pointed out.
"God, I know." You groaned. "But I've never felt this way for anyone else. He says he wants someone just like me but he doesn't want to date right now, and it's just so frustrating. Do you know what it's like to want someone this bad?"
"...Yeah, I think I know the feeling.." He mumbled more to himself as his thumb stroked your arm.
"Oh right, Liz, I forgot."
Peter cleared his throat, "Yeah, r-right...Liz..." He cleared his throat again. "Y'know he's got you wrapped around his finger, right?"
You sighed, "Yeah, I know. Does he ever talk about me?" You asked hopefully.
"Sometimes."
You lit up, "What does he say?"
Peter shrugged, "I dunno, I guess it's kind of the same stuff he's told you."
"Does he ever say anything about asking me out?"
"N-no, not really."
"Ugh, sounds about ri-" You were cut off by a knock at Peter's front door. "Well, I guess someone's here already."
You both stood up and left Peter's bedroom to answer the front door. As soon as the door was opened all three of your best friends burst through the entrance. Harry threw an arm around you, much like Peter did minutes before. He placed a kiss on top of your head. "Hey cutie, I didn't know you were already here."
"Yeah well surprise." You giggled looking up at him.
"Ew, get a room." MJ groaned.
"Very funny MJ." Harry said sarcastically, fist bumping Peter. "Hey Pete. Order pizza yet?"
"Oh, yeah. I'll do that now." Peter said pulling his phone out, scurrying off to the kitchen. The four of you made your way to Peter's living room. MJ immediately going through Peter's DVD's, while you and Harry sat down on the couch and Ned situatated himself in his favorite chair. MJ smirked upon finding one DVD.
"Oh no, I don't like that smile." Ned said. "What movie did you pick?" He asked warily.
"We're watching the Saw series boys and girl." She said putting the DVD in and plopping herself down in another chair Peter had.
Ned groaned, "Noo, I hate horror."
"Too bad princess. It was my turn to pick this week."
You and Harry snickered at their bickering. "Oh lighten up Ned, it'll be fine." You teased.
"Yeah, (Y/N) is acting tougher than you." MJ laughed.
Peter walked into the living room. "All right pizza should be here in 20 minutes. What are we watchi-" Peter stopped upon seeing 'Twisted Pictures' flash on the screen. "Oh come on MJ." Peter groaned. "Saw? Out of all the amazing movies I own you pick Saw?"
"Yeah, now sit down and watch the movie."
"Ugh, these movies are awful." He grumbled, grabbing some blankets and sitting down next to you. "Plus they're really gross."
"Aw, is Peter scared of gore?" You teased.
"What? Of course not, I like when it's done right. Not when it's used the way it is in these movies."
"Well suck it up, cause we're watching it and I happen to love these movies."
Peter gaped at you, "How have I never known this before?" He gasped. "I don't even know you anymore."
You snickered, the two of you quieting down when the movie started. The night went on and by the third movie everyone was hiding under blankets cringing at the graphic scenes as discarded plates of pizza and cups littered the ground and coffee table. You were buried into Harry's side under the same blanket. You glanced over at Peter finding that he was covering his eyes.
You leaned over to him and smacked his arm. "Don't cover your eyes, they're about to die."
"That's exactly why I'm covering my eyes!"
"Oh don't be a baby."
"..Is the scene over yet?"
You smirked devilishly as there was still plenty of gore on the screen. "Yeah it's over."
Peter peaked from under the blankets. "Liar!" He yelled burying his face in your side now.
MJ laughed at the two of you, "Sometimes I can't tell if (Y/N) has more chemistry with Harry or Peter."
Peter's face grew ten shades of red. "Oh quiet, MJ." You rolled your eyes before pulling away from Peter and settling back into Harry's side.
By 1 in the morning everyone besides you and Harry had fallen asleep. The night was almost identical to the one from two weeks ago.
"Hey (Y/N)?" Harry whispered trying not to wake the others as you leaned against him.
"Hm?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"You just did." You whispered back sleepily.
He chuckled, "Seriously though, ...do you like Peter?"
You sat up and looked at him wide eyed. "What makes you think that?" You asked incredulously.
"I dunno, you just seem to be really close."
"Trust me, there is nothing going on between me and Peter. I still like you."
Harry nodded, "Alright, it's just I don't really want to miss my chance with you just cause I'm not ready to date yet."
You laughed, "Don't worry, you have nothing to worry about. I'll wait."
Harry nodded again. "Alright. We should probably get some sleep now." You cuddled up next to him again trying to fall asleep but the words 'I'll wait' plagued your mind, as you stared up at the ceiling. Just how long were you willing to wait for this boy. You sighed again, closing your eyes. You heard a vibration on the coffee table though, which made you open your eyes again to check if it was your phone. But you soon realized it was Harry's. You were going to try to fall asleep again until the name caught your eye.
'Jasmine' You furrowed your brows recognizing the name from your health class. You checked to see if Harry was asleep before picking up his phone. You read the text and felt your heart drop. "Hey want to come over again. I can add more hickies to your collection." Your heart shattered. You looked at Harry and raised a shaky hand pulling down the collar of his shirt finding multiple hickies there. Tears sprung to your eyes, you got off the couch making sure not to wake him before going to Peter's room. You climbed out his window and onto the fire escape. You sat down, your legs hanging off as you let the tears flow freely. You felt so stupid. How could you not see it before. It was all just a game, he just liked the attention. Every word every compliment was empty. Why couldn't you see it before. You were so emotionally exhaausted from the games he had been playing this past year it was all coming out, as sobs wracked your whole body. You cared, you cared, about him. While he was just having fun playing with your feelings. You had never had your heart broken before but now that you did it was the worst feeling you've ever felt. You didn't know how long you sat on Peter's fire escape before you heard a few taps on the window behind you. You turned around, furiously wiping away the tears, to find Peter standing there with a sympathetic smile.
"Got room for one more?" You sniffled and nodded. Peter climbed onto the fire escape and sat next to you, putting his arm around you. You buried your face into his neck and cried as Peter placed his lips on your head in a kiss. He held you tightly, "Shh, it's okay, (N/N)." He comforted you. "Tell me what happened."
You sniffled again. "H-harry is an asshole. H-he's been f-fooling around with o-other girls. H-he never cared about m-me."
Peter clenched his hand in a fist, pissed off at Harry. "He wasn't worth your time. You are so so much better than him, he never deserved you."
"It h-hurts so much t-though." You sobbed.
"Shh, I know it does. But you're not gonna get through this alone, I'll always be here for you. Okay?"
You nodded, calming down a little bit. "Thanks Peter. God why can't I just find someone like you, why did I fall for such a jerk."
"I don't know..." Peter said, wondering the same thing.
"..H-how did you get over Liz?"
Peter shrugged. "I guess I just wasn't as into her as I thought I was. After she left I... I started paying attention to someone that was already in my life and I realized I never really liked Liz."
"Why haven't you told me about this girl?" You asked softly.
Peter shrugged again. "Because nothing will ever happen between us, she fell in love with someone else."
"Do I know her?" Peter paused, before nodding slowly. "Well, you should tell her how you feel. What's she like?"
Peter stared at the alleyway below his dangling feet. "She's...She's amazing. And she's so beautiful, she means the world to me."
"What else?" You asked, finding Peter's love life a good ditraction from your own tragic one.
"She's so caring and just fun to be around. There's always the biggest smile on her face, and whenever she does get sad I just want to hold her and make all the bad stuff go away. She's also a bit of a spaz." He smiled. "She's super clumsy, but it's also really cute. One time she accidentally slammed a locker in her face and had to go to the nurse with a bloody nose." He laughed to himself. Peter was so lost in his thoughts that he hadn't seen your eyes widen, as you realized he was talking about you. "She's so easy to talk to, I can't count the amount of times where we've fallen asleep while facetiming. And she's also the biggest nerd I've ever met. She's so important to me... but I know she'd never like me back." He sighed.
"Peter." You looked up at him with knowing eyes. He looked down at you and sucked in a breath.
"Shit. I said too much." He started panicking. "Listen (Y/N) I know you just had your heart broken, and I'd never ever take advantage of you while you're hurt, so please just forget what I said." You were about to speak when someone cleared their throat behind the two of you. Both you and Peter turned around towards the window, seeing Harry.
"What's going on here?" He asked.
"Uh, Harry maybe you should go home-" Peter started.
"What is this I thought there wasn't anything going on between the two of you." He said, angry now.
You rolled your eyes, as tears began welling up again, "Leave me alone, go to Jasmine's"
Harry's eyes widened in realization. "You looked at my texts?" He asked angrily.
"Oh just shut it. I'm so tired of your bullshit. I'm done waiting for someone who doesn't like me."
"That isn't tr-"
"Oh please, I'm not even your first choice. Just leave me alone."
Harry scoffed, "Fine, whatever. I'm leaving." He said before storming off.
"Sorry about that." You wiped away the tears that fell, before threading your fingers through Peter's. He looked down at your hands and back to your face. "You're a sweet guy Peter. Once I get over this stupid heart break, I don't think I'd be opposed to going on a date with you." You mumbled.
"R-really?" He asked hopefully.
"Can you wait for me?" You asked, knowing how ironic the situation was now. "I promise I won't do to you what Harry did to me."
He placed another kiss on your head. "Of course, (N/N)." You both looked down at the alleyway with soft smiles on your faces, the sounds of Queens drifting through the air. Finally having a promise the both of you would keep.

one man’s trash is another woman’s love life
A/N: for @/princessstaryknight who asked via DM for a drabble inspired by a reddit post where a woman constantly takes her trash out last minute so she can flirt with her garbage man. I was also asked to include my oc Kallura daughter Mina. I’d link the post but I’d like this to actually show up in the tags (thanks a lot tumblr)
“All right class now settle down!” Ms. Arus instructed.
She should have never allowed the children to have some of their Valentine’s treats early as they were already bouncing off the walls. Luckily recess was soon and they could burn off that energy outside. She pursed her lips and blew a loose strand of blonde hair from her face before standing at the front of the classroom.
“No if you recall, as your homework in honor of Valentine’s Day I asked you to write a little report on how your parents met. Did you all complete the task?”
“Yes Miss Romelle!” they yelled in unison. They were still getting the hang of last names.
“Wonderful! Who would like to go first?”
The kids stole glances at each other, sunk down in their chairs. They were still getting the hang of public speaking as well. Romelle’s nostrils flared before she stood straight with clasped hands.
“Mina Kogane. Would you like to start?”
Everyone turned to the young girl at the back of the room who winced at the sound of her name. Her shoulders dropped and she reluctantly grabbed her paper and headed to the front. Once there, she took a deep breath and quickly brushed off her overalls, made sure her pigtails looked presentable.
“So Mina, where did your parents find each other?”
“In the garbage” Mina replied.
The class erupted into laughter and giggles which caused Mina’s cheeks to puff up in frustration. She clutched her paper in her fist.
“That’s enough!” Ms. Arus bellowed before chuckling nervously. “Mina, um, can you explain what you mean dear?”
Mina calmed her tiny rage and tugged the paper straight. She cleared her throat and began to read…
*FLASHBACK*
It wasn’t the alarm that woke her up, she already slept through that. It was the actual roar of the truck as it pulled up to her neighbor’s house, followed by the hum as it sat idle and then the loud whirring and clanging and buzzing at the arms came down and grabbed the can off the street to dump it into the back.
Her eyes shot open.
“Shit! Shit shit shit!”
Allura threw back the covers and scrambled out of bed, nearly tripping over a pair of jeans strewn across the floor. She bolted into the kitchen and yanked the lid off the trash can, tying the bag as quickly as possible before snatching it out and sprinting outside. She didn’t even bother to put on shoes.
“Wait! Wait for me!” She yelled in an almost frantic state as the truck, which was now in front of her house, began to pull away.
She raced down the walkway to the curb when the truck stopped and a man got out of the passenger side.
“Wait for- oh it’s just you.” She sighed as her body slumped.
“Excuse me?” The man laughed incredulously, placing his hands on his hips.
“No, I mean, I’m sorry. Am I too late?” She held out the bag.
“Nah, I got it.” He smiled and took the garbage from her, tossing the bag in the back.
“Thanks” Allura said, disappointment evident in her voice.
“No problem” he smiled and absentmindedly scratched at the scar over his nose.
Allura pouted and slunk back into the house.
“She wants you.” He said as he climbed back into the seat of the truck.
“Shiro please.”
“I’m serious Keith. She practically recoiled when she saw it was me and not you.”
“She’s just forgetful getting her trash to the curb.”
“Every week? She forgets every week?”
“Maybe she’s a ditz I dunno.” Keith shrugged and continued to drive.
“A ditz who forgets her trash every week and comes running out with it often in full makeup at eight in the morning?”
“Maybe she has a fancy job.”
“Or maybe she wants your d-”
“Ok you know what?” Keith laughed, cutting him off. “You’re being ridiculous.”
“So you’re saying you wouldn’t?”
Keith licked his bottom lip as he pulled the wheel and turned the corner.
“I’m not saying I wouldn’t, of course I would, look at her. I’m saying that’s not what’s happening here so drop it.”
“Dropped!” Shiro put his hands up in surrender.
That night Pidge leaned against the doorframe of Allura’s bedroom, arms crossed and shaking her head at her roommate.
“Are you insane?”
“What?” Allura scoffed as she prepared for bed, putting the last of some large curlers in her hair.
“What is that?” Pidge motioned to her outfit.
“Pajamas.”
“Pajamas…” Pidge narrowed her eyes at Allura’s “pajamas” which consisted of a red silky nightgown with floral mini robe.
“Yes, I wear things like this to sleep all the time!”
Pidge eyes drifted to the shopping bag on the floor.
“Uh huh. Anyway goodnight lovergirl.” She rolled her eyes and returned to her own room.
Allura glared and paid her no mind, grabbing her phone and making sure her alarm was set, with a back up alarm and a back up for the back up alarm. She’d be ready this time.
The following morning her first alarm failed her but the second came through and sure enough she was outside, in her saucy nightgown, garbage in her grip, disheartened while handing it over to a highly amused Shiro. She sulked back to the door feeling like a fool and turned the knob.
It didn’t open.
Her lip curled and she tried it again. It was locked. Her face scrunched. That was odd as she didn’t recall being so careless. She rang the doorbell. When that received no response she banged on the door. Eventually it opened, but only slightly, the door catching on the chain lock.
“Morning!” Pidge beamed.
“Uh morning, let me in please.”
“I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
“Pardon?”
“For the past two months you have been disrupting my beauty sleep so you can go out there and flirt with the garbage man hoping he’ll notice you. I’ve had enough. I’m not letting you in until you ask him out.”
Allura leaned forward while closing up her robe tight, it was rather chilly.
“Pidge are you kidding me?! This isn’t a game!”
“Oh I know, so you better run now before they get too far down the block.” She grinned through the slot.
“Pidge!”
The door slammed in her face and Allura could hear it relocking. She cursed. She knew Pidge never gave empty threats. Allura exhaled loudly and begrudgingly walked toward the garbage truck, praying none of her neighbors were watching this early in the morning. The truck was two houses down and when she knocked on the passenger door the window rolled down.
“Hey.” Shiro smiled knowingly and leaned out the window.
“May I talk to him please?” Allura hugged herself and looked down at her feet. She didn’t need to say more.
Shiro had to stifle a laugh as he rolled the window back up and turned to Keith.
“What’s going on?” Keith’s brow arched.
“She wants to see you.”
“What?!”
Keith nearly choked on his saliva as he gripped the steering wheel tight. He cleared his throat and slipped out, giving Shiro one last “don’t even start” glare. When he came around the truck he paused, halted in his steps by her rather…inviting nightgown.
“Uh, is there something I can help you with Miss?”
She shifted uncomfortably, partly due to nerves, partly from her bare feet on the concrete.
“I, well I, if you weren’t, I mean if you aren’t seeing anyone, would you like to go get a drink, or dinner sometime?”
Keith blinked and his heart skipped. Surely this was a prank. He was a garbage man. There was nothing thrilling or exciting about his work. Women simply did not ask him out on the job in their sexy nighties while he was collecting their banana peels and crumpled stained napkins.
“Are you serious?” he replied after a long silence.
“Quite. I wouldn’t be wearing this with curled hair and false eyelashes if I wasn’t which I realize now is rather silly.” She sulked.
“It is a little silly…”
He chuckled and her expression fell.
“…but red is my favorite color.”
She looked up and a light seemed to flicker in her face.
“How about we start with coffee.”
“I’d like that, um…”
“Keith.”
“Keith,” she said it with a relieved sigh. “I’m Allura.”
“Allura…that’s pretty.” He smiled and rubbed the back of his neck.
“Thanks.” She grinned with a blush.
*FLASH FORWARD*
“And then they went on lots and lots of dates and they kissed a lot which is really gross and then they got married and they had me and mommy is about to have my baby brother which I’m ok with I guess, but if I don’t like him I’ll ask if we can send him back. The end.”
Mina looked up, satisfied with herself. Ms. Arus looked at her wide eyed before giggling and clapping, which led the classroom to follow.
“Well that’s certainly an interesting story!”
“I told you they met in the trash I wasn’t making it up!”
“Yes of course.” She gently pushed the little girl by the back to urge her to sit down.
Romelle returned to the front of the room and sat on the edge of her desk.
“Ok…who’s next?”
