pre-relationship bullshit haikyuu teams probably had to put up with before various ships managed to get their shit together
daisuga probably was really annoying with like small/petty jealousy, like a girl would hit on one of them and the other would be standing behind their back making faces about it and mocking it and everyone else on the team just has to put up with it. and then theyre all overly sweet to each other to make up for the petty jealousy or some odd version of "winning them back" after the flirting event and the team is rolling their eyes *so hard*
i think asanoya is so annoying bc nobody can convince Asahi that Noya likes him. Like full stop. Eventually someone pulls him aside and is point blank like "Noya said he has a crush on you ask him out" and Asahi is just like: "Haha he was probably joking" and just leaves the scene. Like the absolute refusal to believe it from Asahi combined with Noya's classic teen boy inability to be sincere means that even after theyve both been told they somehow still havent gotten together??? how long is this going to take???
tsukkiyama probably ruins everyone's week the week before they get together bc one of them *saw* a confession letter stuck into the other's bag and absolutely went (emotionally) off the rails for the days leading up to them discovering it was for them.
I am fully of the camp that iwaoi start dating before they label it/make it official so the whole team is screaming like "PLEASE HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT" meanwhile Oikawa is saying "we just went on a few dates and kissed a few times it doesnt mean anything" and Iwa is in the background shouting "yeah I dont wanna be anyone's boyfriend that's lame" and then they wander off to go eat dinner together holding hands and the team is left in frustration because ALL they talk about is how theyre *not* in a relationship.
for bokuaka its mostly just Bokuto pestering every goddamn person he knows for like 4 months asking "do you think Akaashi likes me?" or "do you think he'd say yes if I asked him out?" and then one day making Konoha *snap* when he says "I need to tell you a secret" and the secret is that he has a crush on Akaashi as if nobody had known that
with ushiten I imagine Tendou was probably really obvious with his crush/interest but in like a very casual "not taking myself too seriously" kind of way so he's comfortable openly flirting, and Ushijima, against everyone's expectations, doesnt seem to mind the attention but is still who he is, so the whole team just has to put up with the most INSANE interactions. Like Tendou walks into the locker room and cat calls him and Ushijima just replies with a formal "thank you" and Semi is contemplating slamming his head in a locker. There's like 12 months of this.
okay okay but I think arankita is *very classic* in that Aran compensates for his crush by over-supporting Kita. so like the whole team gets super annoyed bc Aran wont risk disagreeing with him, is always offering to do extra work, is generally just sucking-up really badly and the twins suffer the most for this bc Aran used to just ignore their antics but now he's super annoyingly on them all the time to try and impress Kita
kuroken is a little different. Yaku asks Kuroo every single day if he's asked Kenma out yet. Lev asks Kenma if he has a crush on Kuroo every chance he gets. Fukunaga gives them a wink when they leave practice to walk home together. This is the only pairing in which the team is the irritant pre-relationship and then post-relationship everyone loses interest and moves on.
I'd include kagehina but once again the entire goddamn show is everyone putting up with them flirting so whats the point.

Double, Double, Combo- Choi Seung Hyun/T.O.P x reader + Twin! Ji-Yong: part 2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: After finally being cleared to perform again, you were determined to show the boys that nobody could perform like you did. Ending with you and your brother's groups celebrating a good tour so far, causing feelings to be brought to the surface between you and your brother's best friend
Warnings: Reader getting drunk <3, other than that none lovelies!
Translations!:
Oppa: Older Brother
Yeo-Dongsaeng: Younger sister
Umma: Mother/mom
Aein: Sweetheart
As always if I've mistranslated something, or missused a word, please let me know! As I am very rusty in Korean, I am learning though! <33
Watching the boys perform your set, you were in awe, mainly over how into it the boys were, each of them hitting every mark for the choreography, doing better than they would have with their own. Whenever you were finally cleared to return back to work, you were determined to show them up, wanting to prove to them and your fans, nobody could do your concerts like you do.
"Yeo-Dongsaeng!" Ji-Yong shouted, marching his way up to the stage as you panted loudly, trying your best to catch your breath before he made it to you. "Yes? Can I help you?" You asked, tilting your head slightly, knowing exactly what he was going to bring up "What changes are you making? And why did you tell YG to not tell me what they are?" He asked sternly, not liking the idea of you having full control over something, it wasn't that he didn't trust you, he did, he just didn't trust your free-will decisions. "It's fine! It's fine! Dae-Sung, and the girls are helping!" You smiled, trying to assure your brother that you had everything under control. Ji-Yong just huffed, whining softly "Just tell me!" He groaned, letting his head fall back as you just shook your head "Nope! You'll see tomorrow night at the show" You smiled, knowing your specific moves you had changed, were perfectly timed to Ji-Yong being off stage during a costume change.
Whenever the time would come for your section of the show, you'd be a nervous wreck, standing on your mark as you started to lowly sing into the microphone. Your album you and group had just released meant a lot to you, after constantly being seen as 'the baby of k-pop' you were determined to show the industry that you were a grown woman now. Swinging your hips to the music, you held your note, following the backtrack in your earpiece as you moved your hands down your torso, biting your lip as you smiled. As you smirked, you slowly slid to your knees, almost moaning the ending lyrics of your song as the music faded out. Your back-up dancers and the girls made their way to their next mark as you panted softly, glancing to the camera that filmed your performance and broadcasted to the big screen, smirking as you bit your bottom lip, bouncing back up to your feet to make your way over to your spot. Noticing as Seung Hyun stood off to the side of the stage, watching in shock before giving you a soft, sly smirk, causing a blush to rise on your cheeks.
You laughed softly as you heard the arena screaming loudly, knowing your brother would hear it, at least YG would be happy about the positive feedback to your last minute change in choreography. You'd have fun the rest of the show, your body getting the much-needed rest it lacked, allowing you to put your all into the performance, while not completely draining your body of every ounce of energy. Rushing off stage, you smiled brightly, turning around to face your group members, squealing loudly as you celebrated the successful show. "What. Was. That?" Ji-Yong asked, his tone was stern, giving you a harsh, protective glare "That was your sister making history, that boy groups aren't the only mature ones in K-pop" You huffed, turning your back to your brother, who just turned you back around by your shoulder "That was you doing something that Umma won't be happy about" He rephrased your statement, causing you to giggle softly "Umma saw it first, said I look beautiful" You smirked, watching as he stared in shock "You can do that and Umma doesn't get upset, but I have to hide tattoos!?" Ji-Yong laughed, you relaxed a little bit hearing him start to joke around, showing he wasn't too upset about your dance moves.
Whenever you all made it back to your shared hotel suite, you were all quick to let loose, knowing you had a three day break in-between shows, you were all going to enjoy it, with alcohol. While You and Ji-Yong were extremely similar, whenever you both were drunk? You were complete opposites. Ji-Yong ended up turning into the princess of the group, not wanting to move unless necessary, constantly fanning his face like he was royalty, or constantly gossiping your secrets, unless you had gotten to him first to stop him; You were outgoing, loud, and confrontational, always wanting to have the best time possible. As you danced around the suite with your bandmate, you weren't aware of your brother's gossiping to the group of guys a few feet away. "Y/n likes Seung Hyun, but DO NOT tell him, cause she lovesss him" He slurred, smiling softly as Seung Hyun blushed brightly, all eight of you were either tipsy, or drunk, there was no in between. Skipping over to the boys, right as your brother finished his sentence "Oppppa! What'd you say?" You accused, glaring at your brother as he was quick to cover his face laughing "Ji-Yong! What'd you say!" You repeated yourself, feeling your frustrations start to grow as he stood up "I told them you like Seung Hyun" He stated, before grabbing your hand gently "Listen to me, Yeo-Donsaeng! You two are meant for each other! You're perfect together!" He argued, you just huffed "No! You listen to me!" You shot back, poking his chest "Okay...I'm listening.." Ji-Yong replied, tilting his head, the others sitting and watching the two of you, it was already entertaining to watch you both argue, but it was even funnier watching you both argue while drunk. "What are you listening to? I wanna hear! Please!" You gasped, clearly too drunk to remember what the hell you were just talking about, jumping over to stand next to him as you looked around curiously, Seung Hyun couldn't hold back his laugh as he heard you. You just continued bouncing in your spot, looking at Ji-Yong expectantly "I'm listening to you!" He laughed loudly, holding your shoulders gently as he calmed your jumping "Oh! Ohh~" You stated, piecing together what was going on, your expression going from excited to frustrated again. "I like Seung Hyun! I don’t like you right now, Ji! So stop spilling my business to everybody!" You argued, poking your brother's cheek as he tried to keep his balance, the alcohol starting to hit you both. "Seee! I told you, Seung Hyun!" Ji-Yong slurred, turning to his tipsy friend, watching as he just chuckled and shook his head "Stop! You're telling my business, oppa!" You whined loudly, smacking your brother's chest quickly, he just huffed, grabbing your wrists as gently as he could "I'm not! I just want to see my yeo-dongsaeng happy!" He replied, almost like he was begging you to get with Seung Hyun already, you just huffed "I'd be happier if you stopped" Smiling playfully at him, your pout returned quickly as Ji-Yong just quickly shook his head "Rude, I oughta...I'm calling Umma!" You shouted, rushing to your phone as your bandmate snatched it first, giggling, Seung Hyun and Tae-Yang quickly restraining you and your brother. "I think, you two should go to bed" Tae-Yang laughed softly, watching as you went limp in Seung Hyun's arms, trying to make it harder for him to carry you. Seung Hyun just lifted you up, effortlessly carrying you while following behind his two other friends "Wait! I wanna sleep in Ji's room!" You protested as the boys forced you to part ways, your statement causing Seung Hyun to turn around quickly, rushing to catch back up with Tae-Yang and your brother.
As you laid in the hotel room bed, you huffed, everybody was either laying down or asleep now, and your brother was taking all of the blankets, leaving you to freeze. "Ji..Ji" you whispered, trying to shake him, or at least take some blankets back, he just stayed in his spot, sleeping peacefully. You sat up, determined to find another blanket or something, you were NOT cuddling with your brother in order to share the blanket, he'd probably try and smother you anyways. Standing up, you turned around to see your options, your bandmates had all made make-shift beds in the floor, and your brother's bandmates were fast asleep in their beds, making it seem like a real sleepover. As you tiredly made your way out of the bedroom area of the suite, you went into your room, snatching your blanket off of the bed, before going right back to the other room. You crawled into what you thought was the giant bed that you and your twin were currently sharing, instead never noticing the tall, older bandmember fast asleep with his back turned to you.
As Seung Hyun felt someone lay down next to him, he slowly turned his head to try and see who, relaxing whenever he saw the soft f/c of your nightshirt. "Y/n, Aein, you're in the wrong bed" He chuckled, turning around slowly to fully face you. At this point, you weren't concerned with any of it, the tiredness and remaining bits of alcohol in your system made you worried about one thing, warmth. Whenever Seung Hyun turned, you could practically feel his body heat radiating off of him, causing you to quickly scoot closer, pressing your body against his as you wrapped your arms around him tightly "J-Ji took the blankets, it's cold in here" You whispered, trying to find the best position to lay in to warm up the fastest, Seung Hyun just laughed softly, wrapping an arm around you to pull you closer. "Stop wiggling like a worm, and come here" He laughed, watching as you pulled his blanket up to your cheeks "I can't help it, you're really fucking warm" You giggled blushing as Seung Hyun pulled you even closer, your head and chest now laying on his, you suddenly became very sober and very aware of the closeness with your crush, his heartbeat racing, how amazingly warm he somehow was, how soft his hair felt whenever it brushed against your face anytime he'd let his head fall while laughing. "Ladies say it's because T.O.P is just too hot" He chuckled playfully, you covered your mouth, trying your best to quiet your laughs "You're adorable, truly, you are" You managed to get out through your giggles, Seung Hyun just shaking his head, keeping his arm wrapped around you tightly "Are you feeling any warmer?" He whispered after a moment, frowning whenever you didn't reply, as he glanced down, his heart fluttered. You were sleeping peacefully with your head rested on his chest, your hand gently placed over his side as you held his hand loosely, Seung Hyun could feel his heart racing even more after that, almost like it was going to explode.
Waking up the next morning, you were met with your bandmates, brother, and his bandmates surrounding you and Seung Hyun excitedly “you two are so cuteee!” Dae-Sung smiled excitedly, hugging your brother in excitement “leave me aloneee!” Seung Hyun groaned tiredly, rolling to face away from all of the others, after a moment, he turned back around pulling the blankets over your heads “this is better, I can see you this way” he smiled, you were in awe with everything, his voice whenever he first woke up, his messy hair, his cute sleepy smile. “Thanks for keeping me warm last night, I really thought I was going to freeze to death at one point” you giggled softly, hugging him gently before gasping “they have a coffee bar downstairs..wanna go with me?” You smiled softly, watching as his eyes lit up “why did nobody tell me about that?!” He gasped, throwing the blankets off of you both, jumping to his feet before offering his hand to you. “We’re going to go get coffee!” You smiled excitedly, waving to your brother before rushing off with Seung Hyun. The both of you rushed down the hotel stairs, giggling like children as you made it to the breakfast area of the hotel, a counter covered in nothing but different coffees, syrups, sugars, flavoring.
As you both sat at one of the small tables, you giggled watching as Seung Hyun finished yet another cup of coffee that you had made for him “see! It's good! And you said my coffee looks like it’d give you a cavity!” You giggled, he just smiled at you softly shaking his head “it probably will! But it tastes good” He protested laughing softly, you just rolled your eyes, knowing he secretly loved the drink, lifting your cup to your lips taking a sip, you noticed Seung Hyun watching from over the rim of your mug. Placing the cup down you raised your eyebrow at him “can I help you?” You asked playfully, reaching to wipe your mouth before Seung Hyun grabbed your wrist gently, grimacing at the thought of you wiping the foam from your coffee off of your mouth with your hand, something you did often “that’s not very sanitary, Aein” he laughed before standing up, leaning over the table to press his lips against yours, your cheeks immediately heating up with a bright blush. Kissing him back softly, Seung Hyun’s hand slowly found its way to cup your cheek, you felt your stomach flip and your skin tingle as you slowly pulled away from him, offering him a sweet smile “what has gotten into you, Sir?” You asked teasingly, he laughed softly, fidgeting with his hands as he spoke “Well, technically speaking, three cups of coffee, emotionally? I have fallen for you hard, Kwon Y/n, harder than I have any women, and it’s confusing, but I want to be confused with you?” he explained, almost like he was questioning his words as he spoke, you smiled, swearing you could hear your own heartbeat racing as you rested a hand on his cheek “Well..I mean..I think it’s kind of obvious from my rant last night, I feel the same” you sheepishly admitted, remembering your ‘argument’ with your twin brother in front of everybody. “So we’re doing this?” Seung Hyun asked, taking your hand in his, trying to contain his excitement that was mixed with nervousness “I guess we are” you smiled shyly, bringing him closer to place your lips on his again, Seung Hyun could feel his body relax, hearing your confirmation and your lips against his. Almost like it was planned, the others walked in, looking at you both in shock “Oh My..god” Ji-Yong whispered watching as you quickly pulled away, hiding your face, unsure of his reaction. Ji-Yong was always trying to get you two together, so he should be excited..right?
You like lovelies? I tried adding a little more length this this part <3 I never really noticed how short they were until the other day scrolling through on my phone (I usually write on my laptop) so please let me know how you like it! And if you prefer longer fics like this or the shorter ones <33 excited to hear from you lovelies!! <333

Everything and more|LH
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summery: you and logan were sent on a mission which had a few good outcomes
warnings: fluff
a/n: soo here it is:33 PLEASE write me if you want a smut chapter thank you my loves💋 and english is not mu first language so please report any mistakes thank you🩷enjoy
———————————————————————————
you were bearly holding on. your energy was draining more and more every second and your whole body was in pain.
let’s just say you and logan were sent on a mission and it wasn’t going well.
you were supposed to rescue some kids from a lab but nobody prepared you for the number of guards and security in there.
the positive thing was that you were able to get every kid from there. well… except from one.
in the meantime logan was able to inform everyone that you are in the need of reinforcement to which charles replied that they’re almost there.
you were still trying to get through to the child but apparently they were keeping him in a special room which was a nightmare to get in.
“Y/N THEY’RE HERE LET’S GO!” logan screamed behind you.
“I’M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT THE KID!” you screamed back.
logan knew you wouldn’t give up. you went through a lot of losses just like he did. that was one of many other reasons you understood each other.
“go get him logan please.” you felt like you’ll give out any moment. you’re knees buckled but you could not stop fighting. not yet.
“y/n you’re…” he at least tried to stop you but you wouldn’t give him a chance.
“JUST GO.” you screamed and he knew better than not listen to you.
as he ran off you could barely stand and for a second you thought about dying.
but you couldn’t just yet. both until you knew that everyone was safe.
after what felt like forever logan suddenly appeared with a boy in his arms. you smiled softly and finally let go.
you were prepared for falling on to the hard ground but the fall never came. logan was fast enough to grab you. “hold on bub please, just a little more.” he whispered and kissed your forhead softly.
he held you and the boy and ran through the building entrance where a plane was waiting for you.
“is everyone safe?” he asked peter “take care of him for a sec will ya?” he gave him the boy and put you on a seat.
you had no energy to even open your eyes. you felt how logan took your hand and squeezed it.
“i’ve got you bub. always.” he said as you gave out.
you woke up to the sound of machine beeping over you. as you slowly opened your eyes, you saw hank and charles talking together and of course logan, standing beside the door, his eyes never leaving you.
you sat up and as yours eyes were getting used to the light logan was already walking to you.
both men stopped talking and looked at tour direction. “look who’s up.” charles smiled while hank came up to you and put off tubes that were on your body.
“i’ll talk to you about everything tomorrow y/n, rest for now.” charles simply said and went away, hank closely behind him.
you knew what you did wasn’t the best or the safest option and you were definitely get a lecture tomorrow from charles but you weren’t sorry for anything you did. everyone was safe and nobody died. win win situation.
you brought your attention back to logan who was looking at you the whole time. “you scared me bub, don’t do that again.” he caressed your cheek and helped you to stand up.
“how long have i been out?” you asked and slowly started to move forward, logans hand never leaving your back.
“three days princess.” you looked at him a bit shocked just because that never happened before.
“oh shit.” you replied
logan guided to his room. you just looked up at him with confusion all over your face.
“i’m not leaving you alone bub.” he answered while opening the door. after you entered he went to get you a shirt to wear.
“take a shower, if you need anything just shout i am here okay?” he said while he was handing you the shirt to which you just nodded.
you must admit, you loved soft logan. he doesn’t show often it but he cares so much. not just about you (well especially you) but about everyone as well. you adored this side of him.
you couldn’t really explain the relationship between you and logan. of course you could sense the attraction. everyone could but it was more than that. when he opened up to you about his feelings and about his past you knew that you definitely meant something to him.
you were scared to do a first move because you didn’t want to ruin the relationship you’ve built over the past year.
you stayed in the shower a bit longer than you usuallydo, let’s be honest, after three days and a miserable mission you just needed it.
when you got out, and put logans shirt on, that’s when you realised how big he is. the man is massive.
you opened the door and went over to the bed while logan was getting a drink. he DEFINITELY checked you out and finished his drink.
“everything alright bub?” he asked as he grabbed a pair of shorts and for the bathroom. you again just nodded as logan entered the bathroom.
this was something new for you. you couldn’t get enough of his reassuring questions and his gentle looks.
as you were thinking about how logan is treating you recently and if you would work as a couple you didn’t see logan enter the bedroom.
“watcha thinking about princess?” he disturbed you from your thoughts and you finally met his gaze. and maan were you speechless.
there he was standing, just in his shorts, his torso still covered in water and the veins on his hands standing out.
you were strike.
“cat got your tongue?” he asked with a smirked on his face. “just get here howlett.” you giggled, your cheeks red.
he just smiled back and joined you under the covers. as he was laying down he immediately grabbed you and cuddled his face into your neck.
“i thought that i was going to lose you.” he admitted quietly, “never do that again, understand?” he took your head into his hands and looked deeply into your eyes.
you didn’t know what to say, so you closed your eyes and kissed him. he eased to the kiss after a moment and your hands traveled to his hair.
he broke the kiss just to look at you again. he caressed you cheek and kissed you again, this time more passionate.
“wait.” he whispered. you looked at him, scared of what he was about to say.
“do you… do you really want this? want me?” he asked.
“logan, you’re everything and more.” you answered with a soft smile on your face.
logan didn’t need anything else and kissed you once again.

Nineteen writing tips I've picked up / been told -
~ ( Disclaimer : I am not telling you what to do or what you can and cannot do. Writing is personal, stylized, and a vessel for self-expression. Your writing is YOURS suga, and however you do it is beautiful. This post is just some advice I've found insightful, and maybe you could too. ᓚᘏᗢ ) ~
★ If you cannot tell if your story is connecting - read it out loud
★ If you have a really good idea, and you are practically itching to write it right now - then do !! Jot down that amazing idea and then connect all those frayed wires.
★ If you want the reader to be attached to a character - let that character be imperfect. Let them be selfish, overzealous, clumsy, or naive. / Let their good traits have bad days.
( examples include, but are not limited to; )
Savior-complex: Pushing too hard to help someone and hurting them more.
Patience: Being left high and dry.
High tolerance: Other characters overestimating their ability to tolerate anything.
Selfless: 'Character X' putting themselves after others to the point that 'Character Y ' has to forget about themselves to be able to keep 'Character X' afloat.
Bonding: Building an unhealthy reliance with one another.
★ If you want a character to be [emotionally] complex - let their emotions conflict. / Let morals be mixed into their dilemma (if they have one). / Try not to let the plot overshadow the characters inner conflict.
★ If you have a work in progress that you want to finish, but can't find motivation to - that's okay !! You're allowed to wait, and you're allowed to come back later with a bajillion ideas !!!
★ If you have plot holes - don't overwork yourself trying to getting rid of them !!! There are plot holes in stories that are TRUE, it'd be impossible to fix all plot holes.
★ If you are writing first person / thought - give their thought process a voice. How do they think? How do they structure their sentences? What phrases do they often use?
★ If you are writing stuttering, people rarely ever stutter "L-l-like..... T-t-this." - Stuttering is usually the repeating of the same part in a sentence, going back on it, like they're editing their sentence. / Space in between words, breathing, preparing. / Filler words !!! "Oh- I- I just-.. uhmm.. I was- I was just giving.. an example."
★ Don't 'CAPITALIZE' dialogue to show that they are yelling / shouting / screaming - we can convey yelling with how we phrase their speech, exclamation marks, etc.
★ Don't be afraid to make a character have hate for another character - nobody can like everybody. It can add personality and makes the character all the more realistic for the reader
★ Sensory details are always great to have in your work !!! But in action scenes - having less sensory detail is almost always more immersive.
"Why?", Because if a character is in an active sword fight with another character, their focus wouldn't be on the way the moonlight spills through the mesh curtains, or how their hand feels against the handle.
Putting those details before or after is so much more realistic and lets the reader grab and hang on to what you have to say, instead of a zip line with loose handlebars.
★ Don't be afraid to use tropes - it's not cheating in the slightest, you are the one writing it. Nobody else could've used the trope like you would. / You can use tropes to your advantage; readers find security in tropes, let the reader think "I see this often, they'll _____" and then totally 180 them.
★ Kill "Show. Don't tell." - you can do both !! It will be right either way, but always choosing one or the other disengages the reader from certain aspects.
★ Kill "Said is Dead" - you can lack the word "said" just as much as you can overuse it !!!
★ It isn't just about if a character coaxed, agreed, revealed, or proposed the dialogue. - It's also about how they did it. Was it soft? Sand papery? Rich? Confident? Hesitant?
★ Chaos doesn't solve 'everything' - but it solves a boatload.
★ Your story doesn't have to have a happy ending for the main character.
★ If a scene feels random or forced - check if you have motive for the scene
★ If you think of yourself as a bad writer, or you're self-conscious of your writing, remember - that no matter what, you will always be a better writer than Colleen Hoover.
~ ( Reminder : If you live by any of the things I mentioned, this is no hate to you. I am not shunning you, nor the way you write. Your current writing and your future growth is beautiful. But, if you like Colleen Hoover you can block me. ᓚᘏᗢ ) ~

Your hands in Mine
Yan Entities T.V Show Crew (Thirteen, Wishbone) + Host Clown Darling
"Ow!....D-do you always have to hold my hand so tight?"
"Maybe I wouldn't have to if your hands weren't so sweaty all the time...."
"But, I sweat when I'm nervous...."
"Excuses, Excuses.. Thats all you ever give. Why am I stuck with you of all people."
Those two.... Never a moments break from their arguments. You could hear their shouting matches from all the way over the pond- Well, it was moreso of a one character in particular screaming and the other timidly raising their voice to be heard. Wishbone and Thirteenth. A bunny lucky as the number of days in a week, and the cat with misfortune tailing every step they took. Forces of calamity on their own, putting the two together was nearly a worse fate than letting them run freely separately.
Pairing the two together was the only solution anyone could come up with. Side by side, Thirteenth's bad luck canceled out Wishbone's good luck - the same going working the other way around for the rabbit. Still, one troubling issue remained. The duo utterly despised one another and would sooner plunge the world into darkness than hold hands.
A solution to their problems was delivered after becoming part of the show's program. Not by a skilled therapist or even talking about their differences together- The answers to all their disagreements where quelled with the kindest of a colorful character with a smile bright as the suns painted on their clothing.
"Wish, Thirteen.... Is everything alright?"
Thirteenth is swift to throw Wishbone under the bus. "How can anything be alright when I have to put up with them everyday?!? You'd swear you could fill a glass with how much sweat I have to squeeze our my fur after holding their hand all day."
Wishbone tugs at their ears - the staples pinning faux fur to the damage corner of their left ear straining from the pull. "Stop blaming everything on me! How am I supposed to hold your hand when you dig your claws into me whenever your mad?!"
"Maybe if you weren't so infuriating I wouldn't be as pissed off!"
You step between the two as Thirteenth shoots an icy glare, advancing towards the twitchy rabbit; claws unfurled. The distance is thin enough you have no concerns for your safety, prioritizing settling things between your companions.
"Relax, take a deep breath, both of you. I know it's hard for the both of you. Just focus on me."
You feel Wishbone's arms around your midsection as you lay a hand on Thirteenth's neck - scratching at that one spot beneath their chin that had the feline melting in your arms everytime. Given that nobody bothered touching them before due to their curse, you knew how much of a sucker they were for it. You reach your other hand overhead to pat Wishbone's ears. The rabbit's happy sigh rumbles against your back, shaking subsiding as you stroke your fingers down their long ears.
These two were some of the sweetest things when around you....
"Hm....."
Pinching the fingers between your teeth, you pull off your left glove - repeating the same process with your right. You'd seen Thirteenth use these left hand for most things, thus you ask them for their right.
"Thirteen? If you'd be so kind?"
"Okay?..." Puzzled, Thirteenth sticks out their hand. Their claws run the fabric of your glove slim as you slip the glove onto their hand, retracting into their skin as you adjust the glove onto them properly. Once fiinished you turn around to face Wishbone.
"Wish? Your left hand, please?"
The rabbit gives you their arm, practically shoving it into your chrstas they hide behind their ears. You stumble a bit, the teetering on your heels as you regain your balance making you giggle.
"I'm sorry!"
"It's okay, it's okay- Here." The airy laughter in your voice calms them as you fit the glove to the best of your abilities over their slightly larger paw. Thankfully, the elasticity of your gloves holds up as hugs their wrist. Seems like most of the size of their hands was just fur.
"Ta-da!"
Thirteenth and Wishbone look at each other.
"Now you guys don't have to hold each other’s hands directly - whenever you have to, you can just pretend your holding mine!"
You take their gloves hands and pair them together, smooching the back's of their knuckles starting with Wishbone as apology for gifting Thirteenth your glove first. The two look uneasy for a beat, eyes softening a second from being simultaneous. If Wishbone closes their eyes and thinks hard enough, the heat of Thirteenth's palm almost reminds them of yours. Holding Wishbone's hand, Thirteenth fondly recalls the texture of your glove brushing their fur.
"Well?"
Thirteenth sucks air through their teeth, the switching of their tail giving way to their true feelings. "I guess it'll work."
"Yeah....." Wishbone admits, beaming from ear to ear, absolutely dumbstruck you'd give them something with so much meaning. They can't let you down now. "This will do."
"Ahhhh, I'm so proud of you too!"
Squealing with glee, you throw your arms around the two - trapping them in a group hug. Thirteenth's tail wraps around your leg as Wishbone's large paw rests gently on your back.
The two didn't have a lot in common, very few things realistically - but their sole interest in one special clown kept them from killing each other and taking the world down with them.

Chapter 26/ Ricky's Vlog Footage
chapter warnings: none? also teasers for the ending at the end of the chapter tehe :)
When I came up with the idea for this chapter I thought it would be a fun filler chapter leading up to the final part! I could keep adding to this chapter but since I didn't post last week enough is enough so here it is! Happy monday!! :)
 ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
“It’s 3am… In the am,” Ricky yawned, squinting at the light as he turned on his bedside lamp, “And we leave today for the tour, in about 7 hours.”
He picks his phone up, showing the time, and a message from Vin. 
“I texted Vin just now to make sure he was up and ready, I’ve got to pick him and Ryan up before leaving for the airport.” He yawned again, switching the lights on as he walked through his house, “But before I do anything…” He reached into the cupboard and showed the camera his coffee mug, one he had received from a fan which had a picture of him and Vin on it. “Coffee.”
[Cut to the car on the way to the airport]
“How do I know if it’s on?” Vinny asked, screwing his face up at the camera, which was too close to his face, showing a close up of his mouth.
“It’s already on.” Ryan laughed, and Vinny’s eyes widened. 
“Oh it is?” He chuckled, “Hey guys- Hey youtube! What is up! I’m Ricky Olson and-”
“This won’t make it into the vlog,” Rick laughed from the driver's seat, “None of this will.”
“But this is entertaining! Give the people what they want!” Vin smiled, “Rick just drove through a red light-”
“There’s nobody about! It’s 4am! I-”
[Cut to the airport]
Vinny stood staring straight into the camera, the sound of screaming crying children in the background. You could tell by his eyes that he was trying to hold it together.
“I have an announcement,” he said after a long sigh, “So… I’m actually quitting the band.”
The sound of crying children got louder as Vinny shook his head, he looked like he was either about to start laughing or crying, perhaps even both?
“I’m done!” 
[Cut to the tour bus]
“So,” Rick says as he places the camera on the table, on a makeshift tripod, made from books and an upside down cup , “We’ve landed, we got to our hotel and then Chris said the guys from Bad Omens forgot to change the dates they needed their bus for, so we’re off to pick them up!” 
The camera turns to Justin, who slowly turns to look at Ricky. 
“What do you want?” He groaned. 
“Do you have anything to say?”
“Yeah. Fuck you.”
[It cuts to shots of the guys, and Bad Omens as they get on the bus. Folio and Ruffilo both gave the camera a wave, but the others didn’t seem to acknowledge it, with some music playing over the top.]
[Cut to Vinny on the bus]
Vinny was talking to the camera, but seemed a little distracted. Unbeknownst to everyone else, his eyes were on you as you stepped on to the bus. 
“Guys I have solved our photographer dilemma!” Chris proudly announced as he stepped back onto the bus, “Y/n’s filling in for the first three days!”
“Hi!” You said with a smile, but Vinny quickly grabbed the camera from Rick, turning it back to him.
“Do you have her consent to record her?” He asked, a mock-serious expression on his face, “Didn’t think so… You creep!” He couldn’t help the small smirk tugging on the corner of his lips. 
“...Aren’t you, Vin.” Justin shouted out, but Vinny didn't quite catch the beginning of his sentence. 
“What did he say?” He asked Rick, who shrugged in reply.
Vinny put his middle finger up to Justin, holding back a laugh. 
[Cut to the hotel room]
“So,” Ricky says, turning the camera around, “Here’s our- I mean my room for the first couple nights, we’ve got our own rooms this time around so that’s sick.”
Rick gives a room tour, showing the bathroom, the bed, the window and the tv which didn’t seem to work. 
“It’s gonna be weird going to sleep with nobody else snoring or coughing in the room.” He smiled, "It won't be this way on the bus!"
[Cut to the next day]
Ryan, Rick and Vinny are walking down the street. 
“So, update,” Ricky began, “Technically tomorrow is the first day of tour, since we’ve got the day off today. So we’ve decided to go and explore the city, get some lunch, maybe visit the museum here... Ryan, do you have anything to say?”
“Yeah, Rick’s boring, there’s a party tonight and he’s not coming.” Ryan laughed. 
“C’mon,” Vin groaned, “Even I’m gonna be there!” 
“I’ve got shit to do.” Ricky chuckled.
“Like what?”
“...Editing the vlog?”
[Cut to the next morning]
“Today’s the day.” Rick says as he stirs his coffee, “It’s the first day of tour, we’ve also got an interview to go to this morning. I need to go and check on Vin after last night, Ryan said he left early but Vin stayed behind… So he might be feeling a little rough this morning.” He chuckled. 
[Cut to Rick walking down the hall]
“Okay, Vin hasn’t seen my texts so I’m assuming he’s still asleep!” Rick says before he knocks on Vin’s door. 
“Vin! Wake up everyone’s waiting for you!” He continues knocking. 
Rick sighs and shakes his head, there was no answer.
“This is why I told you it was a bad idea to go out la-” Vin opened the door, revealing himself half dressed and you still lying in his bed, wearing his shirt. “Finally, I- What’s y/n doing in your room? What the hell Vin! This better not be what it looks like-” 
“No! She stayed here because-”
[Cut to backstage before the show]
“Wanna tell us what you’re up to?” Rick asks Folio, who was smirking as he collected two paper cups. 
“I’m doing an experiment. Noah and Vin both claim they can tell the difference between coke and pepsi,” he looks around for the two cans he had bought, “So in one cup… There’s pepsi, and in the other, there's gonna be coke.”
“How are you going to tell the difference?” Matt asked, “How would you know if they’re right or not if you forget which cups which?”
Folio thought for a moment before calling out to Angela. 
“Can I borrow something to mark a cup?” 
“Sure,” she chuckled, handing him an eyeliner pen, “Just be careful with it, it's expensive.” 
“Thanks!” 
Folio roughly marked the underneath of one of the cups, and smiled at the camera, putting a thumb up.
[Cut to the couches] 
“So,” Folio laughed handing Noah the cups, “One of these has pepsi and the other one has coke-“
“You want me to say which ones in which?” Noah raised an eyebrow, “Easy, I’ve been training for this my whole life!”
“You need to smell them first!” Vinny shouted over, and Noah nodded, smelling each drink. 
“This one smells like pepsi for sure,” he said, “Is it?” 
“Try them!” Matt encouraged. 
Noah hesitated for a second before trying a sip of each. 
“Oh no, that one’s coke… This one’s pepsi.” 
Folio took the cups back, checking the bottom. 
“He’s right!” *insert sound effects*
[Cut to Vinny] 
“I can tell just by smelling them,” he bragged, “And my nose tells me that…” 
He brings both cups up to smell, pulling an unsure face, he has his answer. 
“This one’s pepsi. And I know I’m fucking right!”
“Try them.” Folio chuckled, and Vin nodded, taking a sip of each. 
“Pepsi.” He held one of the cups out, “Just like my nose told me.”
Folio takes the cup and checks the bottom. 
“Wrong! That’s coke!” *Insert sound effect* 
[Cut to Chris] 
“So… I have to guess which one’s pepsi?” He asks, a smile on his face as he takes both cups from Matt. 
“That’s right, so far Noah’s got it right and Vin got it wrong.”
Chris smelled both cups before trying each, furrowing his eyebrows. 
“That’s hard,” he chuckled, “How do you know which is in which?”
“I’ve marked the bottom,” Folio said, “But don’t look!”
“I won’t!” Chris laughed before trying each, “I’ll say… This one’s pepsi?”
Folio bent down to check the bottom of the cup Chris held out. 
“It is!” *insert sound effect* 
[Cut to you] 
“This is stupid,” you laugh as Folio hands you the cups, “And the others have all drank out of these?” 
“Hey, that's nothing, Ryan drank Ricky’s piss before.” Vin laughed, and your face screwed up in horror as you looked up at Ricky with fear in your eyes. 
"He did what?!"
“I told you that was an accident!" Ryan shouted from across the room.
"Fuck this isn’t staying in the video,” Rick laughed, “Ryan bought apple juice and left it in the van, back when we toured in a van, it just so happened I peed in a bottle and it was the same colour-“
“Okay!” You shook your head, “I’ve heard enough, what do you want me to do, Nick?”
“Tell me which one’s pepsi and which one's coke!”
You tried each drink, thinking for a moment before trying another sip of each. 
“This one is definitely coke,” you held one cup out, “so this one’s pepsi.” 
Folio took the cups back and checked for the mark. 
“You’re right!” *Insert sound effects*
“What the fuck,” Vin groaned, “Let me try them again.”
[Cut to after the show]
“We just got done playing,” Ricky said to the camera, “And clearly it’s been a long couple of days for somebody on their first tour.” 
As he pans the camera around, he shows you fast asleep with your head on resting Vin’s shoulder. 
“I think somebody’s got a crush!” Justin whispers to the camera.
“Okay I can't keep that in!”  Rick laughs.
[Cut to Vinny randomly dancing to Maroon 5]
[Cut to Justin doing his makeup]
"So, for everyone who's been asking, I'm going to give you all the long awaited stage makeup tutorial... So what you want to do first is-"
[Cut to backstage, after a show]
“Update!” Vinny grinned, “We literally just got off stage, I went nuts out there, we all went nuts out there... I think I need a shower… Hey y/n, do you think I need a shower?” He was suddenly invading your personal space, his arms wrapping around you in a scarily sweaty hug, and what was left of his body paint was rubbing off on you. 
“Vincenzo I swear if you don’t let go of me right now!” You threatened, pushing him away. 
“Y/n, give me an update!” Rick smiled from behind the camera. 
“Update- Is this my first real update?” You ask as Vin begins to make an escape, “Vin stinks, and I’m gonna beat his ass for covering me in sweaty paint!” 
“You would never!” He shouts from the hallway, and you raise your eyebrows before chasing after him.
“They’re so into each other... It makes me sick.” Ryan laughed, as Ricky panned the camera to him.
[Cut to the tour bus, the next morning]
“Chris, give me an update!” 
Chris groans, before smiling for the camera.
“Update, it’s the… Fifth show of the tour tonight, and I think I’m getting sick. I should be saving my voice, Rick, but look what you’re making me do!” He said in a mock-serious tone. 
[Cut to Rick backstage, in full makeup and stage fit]
"Update... I keep forgetting to make actual updates so uh... We're about to play at the biggest festival of our career, loads of people are out there waiting for us, we're on in about 15 minutes..." The camera turns to Vinny, "How do you feel?"
"Rick..." He presses his lips together, looking away for a moment, "I think I'm going to shit myself."
[Cut to Vinny after playing at the festival]
“Update,” Vinny pointed at the camera, clearly on an adrenaline rush after playing, “We just got done playing to like… three hundred million people, it was fucking awesome!” He claps, thinking of something else to say, “Y/n took some hot pictures of me, Rick fell off the stage-”
“I didn’t fall off the stage,” Ricky interrupted, turning the camera to his face, “I misjudged where the platform was-”
“Rick fell off the stage.” Vinny repeated, “And now we’re about to go play some Mario kart.”
“Y/n do you have anything to add?” Rick pointed the camera at you. 
“Motionless in White rock,” you said proudly, “It was great to…” You trailed off as your phone vibrated, forgetting all about the camera pointed at you, “...Fuck, I think I’m getting a headache, I think I need to lay down, I’ll see you guys tomorrow.” You say, quickly turning around and walking off. 
Ricky and Vinny look at each other as you walk away. 
“That was weird.” Rick points out, putting the camera down.
[Cut to you and Vin in the dark, in the hallway of a hotel]
“Welcome back,” Vinny says in a weird voice, “To the third installment of this place is haunted.. Haunted….. Haunted……”
“We’ve been staying at this hotel for two nights, and we’ve been noticing… some strange things!” You say. 
“So, as an expert in all things paranormal, I am here to investigate!” 
“The first mystery… A banging sound coming from Folio’s room in the middle of the night…” You try to hold back your laugh as you approach his door, “I’ve been staying in the room next to him, and I think he may be being visited in the night by spirits-”
“I fear it may be the very same vengeful incubus that was following me around last tour… Y/n has the spare key to his room, so let’s go and check on him!” 
You slowly push the hotel door open, and wave for Vin and Rick to follow you in. 
“It appears Nick is asleep… And there is no sign of any spirits, or incubuses.. But there is a- Oh shit we better get out there’s a girl in his bed!” 
All three of you rushed out of the room trying your best not to laugh before shutting the door back up.
[Cut to Vinny getting his makeup done]
“The concept of a dad dick isn’t hard to understand…” Vin laughed, “When you become a dad you get a dad dick!” 
“So Justin has a dad dick?” Folio chuckles. 
“Yeah! He’s the only one of us with a dad dick… I think.” Vinny’s eyes widen, full of fear as he stares into the camera, “I don’t think I have any kids?”
[Cut to Vinny asleep on the couch in the green room, whilst you stand behind him, braiding his hair]
The camera slowly zooms in on you as you try holding back your laughter as Vin snores.
"When he wakes up we're telling him he's been visited by the braid fairy," you whispered, before looking back down and running your fingers through his hair, "He's got softer hair than me? I'm stealing his conditioner."
[Cut to Rick on the bus]
"I can't believe what I've just seen... I've caught y/n in the act... With evidence..."
As the camera turns around, it shows you stuffing as many snacks as you can into your bag before getting on to the bus.
"Every time we ask her if she's got any snacks she says no!" Vinny laughed, also watching you from the bus window. "When she gets on I'm gonna ask if she has any and see what she says." he plotted, and the Rick nodded.
"Hey guys." You smile, walking onto the bus, "What time do we start sound check?"
"Uh, in a couple hours." Rick said from behind the camera.
"Y/n did you get any snacks in the store?"
"Yes, but you still owe me for the packs of starburst you stole from me!"
[Cut to Justin and you]
“Justin, give me an update!” 
“Update!” Justin sighed, “I’m introducing y/n to Twit!” 
“And for the people who don’t know… Who is Twit?”
“He’s in the video you posted! If you don’t know you better get to know!” 
The camera zooms in on Justin’s phone, where Vinny is being Twit.
“What’s up man! I’m Twit and I’m gonna eat some God- I mean gosh darn cookies!”
“Vin, how old were you here?!” You laugh. 
“25.” Vinny groans, “Please stop! Turn it off!” 
[Cut to Chris playing a guitar during souncheck]
"I didn't know he played?" Your eyebrows raised as you listened to Chris play a song that sounded a lot like Another Life
"Chris has always played," Rick chuckled from behind the camera, "I guess you learn something new everyday."
[Cut to you]
"Y/n, give me an update."
"Update... I'm sat here in the green room editing some pictures I took from the shows last week. The guys have gone out to get lunch, I've asked Noah to get me a bagel so we'll see how well he knows me because I haven't told him which one I want..."
"Does he know your usual order?"
"He should!" You chuckle, "I've been getting the same thing for three months."
[Cut to Rick backstage before a show]
"So, update..." He set the camera up, stepping back slightly, almost ending up in Justin's lap, "One of our shows got cancelled because it was an outdoors venue and the weathers been pretty shit so we're unable to play, so Vin suggested going live on twitch and hanging out there for a bit with all the guys. I know it won't make up for a cancelled show but it's something."
"They can't see you, Vin." Justin laughed, and Rick looked over at Vinny.
"Give the people what they want!" Vin called out.
"Vin's got his thumbs up," he chuckled, turning the camera around, "There he is..."
"What's up youtube!"
[Cut to you smiling at your phone]
"What are you smiling at...?" Rick teased, zooming in on you.
"I'm looking at pictures of my bed, I can't wait to be home." You hold your phone out to Rick, showing him.
[Cut to Ricky in the bus]
"Update! It's the final month of tour and I don't feel like I've given any real updates on here. We've had the best time this tour, it's been great seeing familiar faces and some new ones too... Uh... Yeah. Do you have anything to add?"
Rick turned the camera, pointing at Vinny who was sat facing you on the couch as you carefully re-dyed his red streaks.
"I don't feel like I've slept in 4 years."
"Vin stop moving!" You groaned, trying to section his hair to clip back.
"Shit, sorry."
[Cut to Ryan backstage]
"I'm not doing this shit," he laughed, until Ricky snatched his phone from his hand, "Fine." Ryan sighed, sitting up straight, "Update, we've got a few more shows to play and then I can get back home to my dog... Vin's been unusually quiet the last couple days, it's been pretty nice."
You walk into the room, setting your bags down on the table. As if on cue, Vin gets up and leaves without saying a word to anybody.
Ryan gives the camera look to say what was that about?
[Cut to Vinny and Noah talking in the green room]
"I just don't understand how you guys can all do the metal screamy thing but I can't?" Vinny laughed.
Noah tried explaining it to Vinny, who tried to copy and do as he was taught, but still failed.
"What the hell is going on in here?" Angela laughs, walking in with you by her side, "I thought Vin was getting tortured."
"No but we are." Justin sighed.
"Noah's trying to teach Vin to scream, it's pretty funny."
"...No, not like that- Y'know what, ask Justin or Chris, I haven't got the patience for this." Noah shook his head, chuckling slightly as he reached for his water.
Vin still attempted, and still failed.
"Can I please say what we're all thinking?" You ask as you sit beside Noah, resting your legs over his lap.
"Go for it!" Ryan laughed.
"Vin, you have the voice of an angel, honey, but just this once... Shut the fuck up, please." You chuckled.
"Yeah, man, stick to rapping. Trap Demon's overdue a comeback." Rick said from behind the camera.
"Trap Demon?" You raised an eyebrow.
[Cut to Rick trying to set his camera up on a tripod on the beach]
"Uh... Is it straight? Y'know what I don't care actually... We've made it to LA, we've got a couple days off so we decided to spend the day at the beach. Vin and Noah have buried Jolly and Ryan and in the sand and seem to be building sand castles on top of them? Folio's swimming out there with Justin, Chris is just chilling here in the shade like the vampire he is-"
"Coming from you?" Chris chuckled from beside Rick.
"Hey, I don't want to burn! You remember how red me and Vin were after we played that show in Malta, we were only in the sun for less than an hour!"
[Cut to Vinny, who had sunglasses tan lines on his face]
"This is pretty high coverage," Angela explains, showing him the foundation she was going to use, "If I do some colour correcting underneath you wont even notice it!"
"Please just do something. Anything!" Vinny whined. "I've never been sun burned this bad before."
"I told you to wear spf, not my fault you didn't listen." Noah shrugged.
[Cut to Vinny, Rick and Ryan backstage somewhere, Folio is in the back talking with Bryan]
“So,” Rick says, placing the camera down on the table, “It was y/n’s birthday yesterday, and she had other plans so we couldn’t all spend it together. However, our one and only, our dear Vincenzo Mauro booked a venue so we could throw her a surprise party for when she gets back tonight!”
“I’m currently making the playlist,” Vin explains as Ricky turns the camera to him, “Banger after banger, baby! I’ve got some songs I found from her playlists and some DJ shidnfard classics. It’s gonna be a sick night, guys.”
“The good thing about being a band on tour is that you have equipment,” Ryan said, also doing something on his laptop, “We’ve got all our stage lights and shit but nobody here who knows how they work, except Matt but he woke up in a bad mood today so everyone's too afraid to ask him for help, so I’m watching a youtube tutorial on how to set them up.”
“Ryan Sitkowski, our guitarist and soon to be our lights guy,” Rick chuckled, turning the camera back to him, “Angela and Justin are over here, what are you guys up to?”
“Blowing up balloons.” Justin sighed, “I’m gonna be doing this for my kid’s birthday for the next 12 years so why not get some practice?”
“That’s the spirit,” Chris chuckled, walking in with lunch, “How many have you done already?”
“Three.” Justin confessed, “I just don’t know how to tie them!” 
“It’s easy,” Angela chimed in, “Even with these nails I’ve still done more than you.” 
[Cut to Ricky whispering in the dark]
“Okay… She should be here any minute now, Noah’s gone to pick her up…” Rick paused suddenly, thinking he could hear something. “Y/n, if you’re watching this, I’m so glad we met on this tour. I know we didn’t get on too well in the beginning but… You grew on me. I hope our paths cross again after this, and maybe we get the chance to tour together again. Happy birthday!” 
“Fuck, Y/n just texted saying they’re still half an hour away. They stopped at the gas station because Noah needed to pee.” Bryan announces, and everybody groans. 
“Great! I’ve just had an idea!” Rick beamed as the lights were switched back on. 
[Cut to Justin]
“So what was this plan?” Justin asked, he was stood against a blank wall as Rick pointed the camera at his face.
“We’re all going to give y/n a birthday message, whether I actually keep this part in the vlog or not will depend on what people say but I thought it was a good idea!”
“Oh that’s cute,” Justin smiled, “So do I just-”
“Yes, the camera’s rolling.” 
“Oh, okay!” Justin grinned, “Y/n… It’s been great having you with us on this tour, it’s been a pleasure to get to know you, we all think you’re awesome… Vin especially,” he winked, “But seriously, I hope you have a great day, eat cake, party, dance, have fun! You deserve it!” 
[Cut to Angela]
“Happy birthday, my love! I never expected to make a new best friend on tour, but here we are, I love you so much girl!”
[Cut to Chris]
“Happy birthday, Y/n! You've pretty much became a member of the band over these months. You’ve been killing it out here, I don’t think I could thank you enough for making all of us look so photogenic and filling in for our usual guy. We love you!”
[Cut to Vinny]
“Y/n!” He clapped his hands together, “Uh… What can I say about you… You’re pretty cool, not as cool as me but y’know, haha, who is?” He smirked, “No, I’m kidding!” 
“Restart!” Rick called out. "Take 2!"
“Y/n, I think I’m speaking for all of us when I say you brighten our days, your smile lights the room-”
“Hey, it’s a birthday message not a love confession.”
“Shut up!” Vinny groaned, before getting into the zone again, “Y/n, happy birthday! I wanted to say something heartfelt but Rick didn’t like it so I’ll just say you’re awesome! I’m so happy that I’ve gotten to know you, and I hope when tour ends we’ll still be friends, y’know, unless you’ve been simply just tolerating me the last few months cos you had no other choice! Okay how was that?”
[Cut to Ryan]
“Happy birthday, Y/n! I don’t know how you’ve put up with all of us… I can't even stand these guys and we've been doing this for years. Thank you for everything you do for us, it doesn’t go unnoticed.”
[Cut to Jolly]
“Happy birthday, Y/n! Uh… I’m not usually great at stuff like this, but I just want to say thank you for always being there for us. You deserve the world, and I hope you know how much we all appreciate you.”
[Cut to Matt]
“Happy birthday, Y/n! You’re like the little sister I never asked for but now I can’t live without. Thanks for putting up with all of our shit on the daily and still managing to make us look good out there. I hope you had a great birthday!”
[Cut to Folio]
“... But I don’t know what to say- Oh you’re recording! Y/n, I know I give you a hard time sometimes, but it’s only because you’re basically family to me. You’re one of the hardest working people I know, and we’re all so lucky to have you around. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! I love you so much, I hope you had a nice birthday, and I can’t wait for our fishing trip when this is all over!”
[Cut to Nicholas]
“Y/n! Happy birthday! We all appreciate everything you do for us, even if some of us don’t say it! Have a great night, don’t vomit on Noah this time though… We all remember Bryan’s party!”
[Cut to Bryan]
“You’ll always be my best friend and-”
“Shit I wasn’t recording,” Rick laughed, “Okay, we’re all good.”
“Fuck you, Rick.” Bryan chuckled, “I just said something really beautiful… Y/n, I love you dearly, thanks for sticking with me and being my best friend throughout all the madness in our lives… I can’t remember what else I said now but that’s Rick’s fault. Happy birthday!”
[Cut to darkness, again]
"This is definitely them..." Ricky whispers to the camera.
Suddenly, the lights all switch on, revealing the beautifully decorated room, everyone shouts surprise! As you stand in the doorway, a look of disbelief and excitement on your face as you grin widely
"Oh my god... Guys you didn't have to do this!"
[Cut to Rick at the airport]
"Holy shit. I don't even know if I should post any of this now." He sighs, looking away for a moment, "Some serious shit went down in the last few days... But we did it. We played every show, we... Yeah, I'm not posting any of this shit-"
[Camera cuts]

It's been sitting in my draft for awhile but it's finally done and ready to read! I hope you all enjoy it! 🖤 Oh!

I sat in my bedroom on a late Friday night, not doing anything but staring up at my ceiling in complete boredom. My parents didn't want to leave me home alone, but I insisted they go out. After all, it was their anniversary. Though I wanted them to have a good night and celebrate, I didn't really want to be home alone either. There had been a serial killer going around, taking out almost everybody I knew.
Even though the attacks hadn't been directly on me, I still had that grueling feeling that I could be next at any given time. My parents made me promise to keep all the doors and windows locked and stay inside while they were gone, and I had strongly intended to keep that promise.
So I decided to just stay in my room, laying in bed while counting the minutes. Time was going by slowly until I got a call—a call that would change my life forever in the most unexpected way. And I don't know why I chose to answer it, since it was from an unknown number, but something deep inside of me told me to press that green button on the screen.
"Hello?" I muttered simply after answering my phone and bringing it to my ear.
"Hello, (Y/N)." Said the voice of an unknown man on the other end. It was deep and dark—a voice I would definitely remember if I heard it before.
"Who is this?" I asked as I furrowed my brows in confusion. Though it was a very easy question, the man stayed silent for a few seconds. Deep, heavy breaths were the only thing heard on the other end of the line; until the man spoke again in a more sinister tone.
"The question isn't who am I–it's where am I?"
The beating of my heart rang through my ears as it's speed increased faster each second. I wasn't sure if it was just some sick prank or not, but I had a pretty damn good feeling about who it was. Still, I didn't want to accept the horrid truth—I didn't want to believe that it could be the man who had been slaughtering all of my friends.
"This isn't funny!" I shouted into my phone with anger in my tone. I tried to keep my voice strong—to not show how I really felt by letting my voice fall weak and crack. But it was hard not to. "Seriously, this better not be a fucking prank!"
"Oh, what's the matter, (Y/N)? Don't you wanna play with me?" His voice sounded mocking, teasing with a little hint of a laugh at the end of his words.
"N-No..." I whimpered, my voice being just barely above a faint whisper. Tears filled my eyes as I sat up in my bed, eyeing my bedroom door wearily while praying deep down that there was nobody in my house.
"Aw, too bad, little bird. We're going to play regardless of what you say. You won't regret it." He cooed mockingly, sounding as if he was trying to hold back another laugh as he spoke. "Here I come."
Within a matter of seconds, somebody began banging on my bedroom door. I screamed from astonishment and pure terror before scrambling off my bed to find something—anything that could be used as some sort of weapon.
The man continued to bang on my door for what felt like hours, but only turned out to be a couple of minutes. But to my surprise, he stopped... And then there was silence—unsettling silence.
I ended the call with the man—nearly dropping my phone several times due to how shaky my hands were—before attempting to dial 911. But as luck would have it, the screen turned black, and I quickly realized that I had forgotten to charge my phone.
It's crazy how one small, dumb mistake could have such a fatal consequence...
"(Y/N)?" The man sang from the other side of my door. "Come out, come out wherever you are!"
"Go away!" I cried out, clenching my phone in my hand as fear crippled my body. "I'm going to call the police!"
It was a lie, I know, but I thought that maybe a threat would be enough to get the psycho away from me, long enough for somebody to come find me.
"Oh, (Y/N)." The man chuckled darkly. "The police won't get here on time. And besides, don't you want to meet the man behind it all—the one who killed your little friends?"
I froze for a minute in complete shock and fear. This man—who had taken so much from me within the last month—was just outside my door. The chances of me getting away at this point were slim. So, if I wasn't going to survive, I might as well have found out who this monster really was. But maybe I'd be lucky and survive if I found a way to kill him first? Regardless, I needed to know who this man was...
"F-Fine..." I tried to make myself sound much more confident and tougher than I really was, but failed due to the way my voice cracked thanks to my anxiety. "Come in..."
I grabbed my alarm clock and fully prepared to whip it at his head the second he opened the door, but life had a different plan for me.
To my surprise, the man kicked my door open and there stood a tall figure, wearing an all-black cloak and a white ghost mask. The costume was frightening enough and made me feel quite uneasy, especially with how he cocked his head as he stared at my weak form like a curious puppy—though I knew the rabid beast that hid behind the innocent gesture. There I stood—like a complete fucking idiot—holding my alarm clock in my hand as I stared at this murderer with a look of pure horror on my face.
The man slowly approached me and with each step he took forward, I took one backwards until I hit the wall behind me. After what felt like a century, the killer was finally one foot away from me—the black eyes of the mask drinking me in as I coward in fear before him. But just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, my eyes lowered and focused on the bright crimson liquid that covered his hands and knife.
"W-Whose blood is that?" I asked with much hesitance in my voice. Though it was a question that I did not want an answer to, I figured it was pretty important; since I still had some friends that were still alive, and my family as well.
Without a single word, the man leaned in almost as if he was attempting to pin me between him and the wall. The only sound that could be heard was his breath behind the mask and my beating heart. But then—breaking the silence like a hammer smashing through glass—he chuckled lowly.
"It used to belong to your friend, Emily."
Though the man was wearing a mask, I could tell by the smug sound of his voice that he had a huge smirk plastered on his twisted face. It was at that moment, I felt my heart stop. Without even realizing, tears began to fall down my cheeks as I grieved the death of my friend.
"Oh, come on!" He scoffed. "Why are you shedding tears for that little bitch?! After all, I did kill her for you."
I froze up completely after hearing his words, like time itself had stopped to let the sudden news sink in. I was shocked, but it all made sense. Out of anybody in my friend group, I was never attacked by the killer. So he was killing my friends... For me... Only one question remained inside my mind:
"Why?"
It was the only thing I could think to say. I didn't understand why this psychopath—this murderer was doing all this awful stuff for me. The man only laughed and then, to my surprise; lifted his mask over his face, revealing his true identity.
I audibly gasped and it was as if the shock of who stood before me punched me right in the face. My heart sank and my body grew cold, as my mind refused to accept the truth. I just stood there, with tears in my eyes as the only thing that escaped my lips was a name: "Josh?"
Josh Washington—who I had known for years—stood in front of me with a twisted, psychotic grin on his face as his eyes stared down at me with a lot of excitement in them. They seemed almost gray now, compared to the light green that shone with kindness before. His hair was now disheveled too—strains of it hanging down into his eyes; I had never seen it messy like this before, since he always had it slick back and tidy around me. It definitely added to the psychotic look he had going now.
"Ta-da!" He cheered while he threw his arms up dramatically as if he revealed some positive surprise like a birthday party. "Surprised? Of course, you are! Do you know how many movies I watched to get this right? It was a lot. After all, that's how the best killers learn: watch a few movies, take a few notes; it was fun! And the look on your face now makes all that work even more worth it!"
I only continued to stare at him in silence as tears filled my eyes. He was one of the few friends who made it—other than Chris and Sam—but I had never suspected him to be a killer; it didn't feel real or right in any way. He was always so sweet and kind... It didn't make sense...
"W-Why?" I asked in a barely audible whisper. "Why did you do this?!"
He shook his head as if he expected me to know, while his smile only broadened as he did so. "I told you, (Y/N). I did it for you."
"But why?!" I cried out, raising my voice as I did so, my vocals now scratchy and damaged from my earlier cries. He seemed surprised by my sudden outburst and took a step back as his eyes widened from shock.
"(Y/N), I did it because those fuckers were jerks! They treated you like trash, talked shit about you behind your back, and tried to keep us apart!"
His motive shocked me and also unlocked some realization in my mind: he was right. They were mean to me and treated me like garbage. But killing them just seemed too far. Though... It also ignited another question in my mind.
"What the fuck do you mean by 'kept us apart'?" I asked as I furrowed my brows with confusion. I swore at that moment that if jealousy had been the reason for his murders, I would kill him myself just out of anger due to his stupidity.
He laughed again, but this time his expression held a look of disgust and anger.
"Those assholes kept telling you that I didn't want you—that I was even appalled by the idea of being with you—all over the simple fact that Jess had a crush on me. You call that being a friend?" He scoffed bitterly. "Not only that, but those bitches had sabotaged many of your other relationships, as well as bullied you into thinking you were not good enough for anybody."
I stayed silent, looking down at my feet as the tears finally fell down my cheeks. Merely seconds later, I felt a gentle gloved hand meet my cheek. He caressed it softly with his thumb, to carefully wipe my tears away.
"You don't have to listen to their abuse anymore; they are gone." He whispered softly. "And you don't have to worry about not being good enough anymore either. Do you know why?"
I shook my head as I sniffed quietly, unable to speak due to not fully trusting my voice to form words correctly.
"Because you're good enough for me." He murmured in the softest tone I had ever heard, only making me tear up more.
I slowly looked up to meet his gaze—his soft gaze of adoration. He smiled warmly as he continued to hold my cheek in his large hand. And for the first time ever, I felt truly loved.
"And I know Mike was being a pig with you, that's why I slaughtered him like one." He admitted proudly as his kind smile split open into a prideful, toothy grin. I couldn't help but giggle as I wiped a few more tears away from my other cheek.
"Yeah, despite being with Emily, he would never give up on me. He just didn't understand that I didn't feel that way for him." I admitted sadly.
"I mean, I don't blame the guy because you are a fucking goddess, but he would go a little too far with his attempts to 'woo' you."
"Woo?" I chuckled at his choice of words.
"You know what I mean." He rolled his eyes playfully. But once they gazed back down upon me, they had grown soft and loving again. "So, would you consider being the lover of a dangerous psychopath?"
I smiled warmly as I stared up at the man before asking, "Well, I don't know. Promise not to stab me?"
"Not with this knife." He gestured down at the bloody knife in his hand, while his voice dropped low and seductive as his lips turned up into a sexy half smile.
"Good answer." I chuckled before placing my hands on his cheeks and pulling his face down to mine for a sweet kiss. Then—after pulling away a minute later—I gazed into his eyes with a lot of love and warmth. "We'll get to that later."
He smiled and placed his lips back on mine, while holding me tightly in his arms. The kiss lingered for another good minute and lit a spark within me—a spark that told me that I was in love. Once we pulled away, he stared down at me lovingly.
"Seriously though, I promise to protect you at all costs and destroy anybody who threatens your safety." He declared in a warm tone as he brought his hands back up to caress my cheeks again, the soft fabric of the gloves drying my soaked cheeks.
"I know." I responded as I smiled happily before planting another warm kiss on his surprisingly soft lips. "And I'll do the same for you."
"Oh? Do I have myself a little partner in crime?" He teased and my sweet smile twisted into a more sinister one as I took his knife from his hand, gripping it firmly in my fist and moving it up to place the blade against his throat.
Though the sharp metal was nipping at his skin and painting the ridge deep crimson, he didn't seem to care. His lips stretched into a devilish and seemingly excited grin, as he gazed down at me with a look of adoration in his green orbs.
"Hey, we all go a little mad sometimes. And I may know of a few more people who need to be taught a fatal lesson." My voice grew darker and more evil as his smile broadened with pride for his new lover —me. "I just need to have a mentor by my side to guide my way."
"My lady," he spoke softly as he carefully took my small hand in his big one. "It would be an honor."

my very first love ! — 08: everybody shut the hell up!
masterlist

nothing could have prepared riki for the stress that would come mere hours before your study session.
he had hardly ever interacted with girls his age outside of school, and he even tried to avoid it. when his hyung's threw parties with girls, riki was rarely in attendance.
it wasn't even a real hangout; you weren't even visiting each other's houses or even a local cafe. it was a strictly school-related meeting in the school's library. that didn't stop riki from freaking out, though.
he knew couldn't ask his hyung's for help, that would practically be admitting that they were right and that he did have a crush on you. so instead, he stood in front of his closet, practically ripping his hair out trying to figure out what to wear.
by the time he had finally found an acceptable enough outfit, half of his closet was on the floor, and he was almost late. he made sure to try his absolute best to be on time, something that rarely happened for him.
he arrived promptly to school at 1 pm, and he saw you in the middle of the library with your earbuds in typing on your laptop. the library was mostly empty, since it was a saturday after all. when you finally saw him, you took your earbuds in and sent him a warm smile as you waved him over.
he took the seat across from you, and the two of you began brainstorming ideas for the project. you showed him the rough draft of ideas you had come up with in the time since being assigned the project, and he looked at you with a blank stare. "are you following me? or am i going to fast?"
"no i- i'm listening, i'm just...a little confused" he responded, and you could tell he was flustered.
it didn't take long for you to figure out that riki wasn't exactly the best at physics, and you'd likely have to do most of the work for the two of you to get a good grade.
not wanting to hurt his feelings, you eventually decided that you would do all of the research, and leave it to riki to put together the information and create the powerpoint.
"you probably think i'm an idiot, don't you?" he timidly asked, hiding his face in his hands from embarrassment.
"not at all! lots of people struggle with physics. hanni complains about it almost every day." you reassured, which slightly comforted riki.
it was a little awkward at first, but you felt riki starting to get more comfortable with you towards the end of your study session. he was even starting to laugh at your (quite pathetic) jokes, and although you'd never admit it, his smile made your heart skip a beat.
when he had to leave for his dance practice, both of you were a little upset that your time together ended so quickly.
you, on the other hand, had a few hours before their studio time ended and yours begun, so you just stayed in the library, pretending to be productive.
you headed towards the studio around 5:00, but you could hear loud screaming and shouting just from the outside.
"YOU'VE GOT SOME FUCKING NERVE SHOWING UP HERE" you heard someone yell.
"YOU THINK YOU'RE SO MUCH BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE. EVERYBODY ELSE CAN SEE HOW FUCKING EMBARRASING YOUR BEHAVIOR IS."
that was undoubtedly soobin's voice. you immediately ran into the studio, to find all of your members engaged in a heated fight between enhypen's seniors and jungwon, with sunoo and riki trying desperately to get them to calm down.
you rushed to help them, but nobody seemed to be listening. they weren't even listening to each other, really. mostly just yelling and trying to prove to the other team that they were in the right. you didn't even know you could yell that loud, but the childish bickering was pissing you off so bad that you suddenly shouted,
"EVERYBODY SHUT THE HELL UP."

Gig Report: Ruisrock Festival July 7 2024
Sunday July 7 2024:
Here follows my experiences with Käärijä and Joker Out at Ruisrock Festival, Roussalo Turku on July 7 2024.
To make a long story short me and @jaarijani had decided to camp at Rossallo camping (the officially camping site of the festival) which gave us a lot of grievances so we'd only put our tents up a bit after midnight the day before. None of us had good quality tents and it was said to rain early morning sunday.
I had had a few drops of rain pierce the tent when it began raining at 5 am while poor Cass had had her tent soaked! Safe to say we were not happy campers when security and police went around asking us to put our tents down or fasten it closer to the ground since the weather had warned against strong winds.
We went searching for a charger and I saw a helicopter take off at one point (that I later learned very possibly was the very same helicopter that had Käärijä, Häärijä and Joost in it!!!).
We went to the festival grounds with one of the earliest busses at 12 to meet up with @teal-skull, our saviour, that had brought us breakfast (not the last time they’d save our behinds). When entering the festival grounds, we quickly went to queue for Käärijä that’ll be the second act on the mainstage after Blind Channel (flashback to my birthday concert!). We got to meet whole new sets of people that I haven’t seen in ages (hi @i-wasnt-ready-for-this! Hi @korre!) or never interacted with in public before such as my fellow Bojere QPR shipper @flananjan and – I am still sort of awestruck about this one – @lemon-h4!! I had not made stickers today, so I drew quick doodles for everybody on post it notes. @carpblu had made me Häärijä-Hojan-Hoost bracelets and @formulalakana a Denmark Guy one (for context I recommend checking out my gig repport for Backas) and I honestly treasure these so much!!!
I was pleasantly (with capital P) surprised and relieved with how well the queueing went for Käärijä – the security respected our number system and let us into the limbo space first. Here we watched Jesse while screaming along to HHH and Rouska played from a little speaker. Then the security would follow us using tape (so nobody could run) to the barricade in groups of 40-50 people at a time. Having number 34 I managed to get barricade at one of Finland’s biggest festivals(pictured) next to Skull, Aniina, Cass, Caro and Bendo.
Käärijä made another homerun show especially lifted by having Erika Vikman join for Rouska and later Joost join for the first ever performance of Trafik! (me and Bendo had been wondering why Häärijä wear a blue suit out loud and only conclude that maybe we’d see Joost a second before the backtrack began playing). I filmed the whole chaos yet given I was just behind the photographer I didn’t get all the best angles but it was still so much fun!! (Only soured by an entitled teenager ripping the setlist out of the hands of the person that had actually been handing the setlist and then the teenager’s mother shouting at Caro for calling her daughter out).
After that amazing experience we went to join the already assembling Joker Out crowd in the tent and unfortunately that meant being present at this horrible DJ set (I tried to make a joke at one point asking if this was the music straight people were into) the insulted my insights. After that and because I may not have eaten enough during the day I hit the wall and my blood sugar drained drastically, so I had to sit down. Cass went to ask for some water by who ended up being Vita (Cass didn’t realise not even when she was interviewed about ŠBJ which made them way calmer than they’d been otherwise). I tried my best to drink the water (it was sparkling, and I hate sparkling water with a passion) and got some glucose from Cass yet I still feared I may pass out. But as soon Joker Out went on, I felt instantly better (probably the dopamine) and enjoyed the rest of the concert just fine.
I had surprisingly a lot of voice left, and I am 80% sure I caught Bojan’s eyes at a few points. What I otherwise remember the best was the poor bird flying terrified around in the tent like a moth to a window and Bojan talking to the bird with a heartbreakingly tender voice (before jokingly saying he just pretended to talk to the bird to catch his breath). The setlist was great although in retrospect I missed Novi Val and of course Bluza, my beloved. I later learned that had I been more center or placed on the right side of the stage I could’ve witnessed Bojan hugging Jere at one point (all I saw was Häärijä’s yellow hoodie walking across backstage just before SSOL).
 I will say with both Joker Out and Käärijä I enjoyed their festival performances but missed the connection that you find at the smaller shows, so I am not sure I will go to many more festival gigs with them in the future.
Just before Joker Out had begun their set, I’d incidentally become keeper of @pianist-chan ’s book of memories so I’d had it in my back during the show. I didn’t realize at first why my bag was so light all of a sudden until it struck me, I’d missed the book (still feel horrible about that). This would turn out not to be the only bit of unluck we had this evening since Cass and I was ditched by the busses again, almost scammed by scammy taxies, had to walk down to the truck area to even find a yellow vest to ask for help before going to the camp site, packing our stuff and throwing out our tents in rage. Luckily for us we were able to find a solution making it so we didnt have to sleeping at the camp another night.

Am I allowed to request an ask for Damiano about his SO being taken advantaged of by an ex a few years before they started dating so when she tells Dami he shows her what a first time was and is supposed to look like
Only of your comfortable with this tho
How It's Supposed To Look Like | Damiano David
Pairing: Damiano David x reader
Summary: After being abused by your ex, you finally tell Damiano what happened and he shows you how the loving relationship should really be like.
Warning/s: Mentions of abuse and SA - read at your own risk, smut (but like not very explicit), alcohol problems, mentions of fights, bruises and cuts, crying, possible grammar and spelling mistakes, very short fic (sorry) 😔
Author's note: So this is kind of the first time that I am writing this, so I don't know if it's any good. However, I do hope that you enjoy this. Thank you for the request and have a good day/night!
Tumblr media
It was always hard for you to show much affection after what happened to you. It felt like forever since it happened, but at the same time it felt like it didn't. It felt like it was yesterday or two days ago the most.
You met your ex in a classic way. You were in a bar, dancing with your friends when you met him. He charmed you and you felt like everything couldn't be more perfect. Until it wasn't. You were dating him for 2 years and after the first year he started to get abusive. You never expected that from him. He was always so sweet and kind and gentle with you. You thought that he could never bring you any harm. You were wrong, sadly.
At first it was yelling. He would pick up a fight from nothing at all, but he was just so angry all the time and he needed to take his anger out. You just never expected it to be taken out on you. Then he started to drink more. He would come home from work and yell at you for nothing or he would come home drunk and pick up more endless fights. But then it started to get worse. He didn't stop at just shouting or yelling or getting drunk and constantly picking up fights. He started to physically abuse you.
As you remember this, as you talk to Damiano about this for the first time in forever, you could still remember the bruises and cuts as you spoke about it.
You could still remember how he would beat you up after he came home drunk. There were points of your life where you had to try to fight back, but couldn't. There were points in your life where you would run as fast as you could and quickly locked yourself up in another room. You remember times when you were violently shaking and crying as you listened to him as he tried to break down the door behind which you were hiding. You remember praying to whoever heard you to keep you safe, to keep you alive. Because there were times when you were afraid that he would kill you.
You couldn't stop yourself from crying as Damiano heard you say this. He held you, as you trembled and shook and cried. He tried to contain his own tears and heartache as he listened to you opening up about it for the first time.
The day after, he would come running back to you and beg you for forgiveness. He would tell you that he loves you. You knew better. You knew that it was a lie, but you couldn't do anything about it. You couldn't escape.
You remembered the days where you would be standing in front of the bathroom mirror for hours, trying to cover up the mess he made out of you every day. Nobody noticed anything, nobody heard anything. Nobody knew anything.
Until one night when he came home more drunk than usually. That night he forced you to do something you really didn't want to. As you rememberd this moment, you could still hear your bloody screaming. You could still feel your body trembling. You could still remember that empty feeling, full of sadness, full of hopelessness.
This was it, you thought to yourself, he is going to kill me tonight.
You never felt such, dare you say relief in your life. You felt like you were finally saved when the cops started to bang on the door. Your neighbor, a nice elderly man, heard your screams that were trying to be silenced by your ex, and called the cops.
"I don't know what to say." Damiano said as you finished talking. "I can't find the words to say how sorry I am that that had to happen to you, amore."
"It's fine." As you said that, your voice raspy from crying, you felt Damiano shake his head against you, but you continued to talk. "Nobody can do anything about it anymore." You said, bud Damiano didn't agree.
"We'll see about that." Damiano said as he turned to look at you and he found you looking at him in confusion. "We can try to do it if you want to." You looked at him in shock for a brief moment.
"Of course, we don't have to, we don't need to do it if you don't fell 100% ready." Damiano quickly explained as you listened to him speak. "But if you want to, I can show you how much I love you and how you deserve to be treated. He was an idiot to do that to you. I can show you how it's supposed to feel like. If you want me to."
For a brief moment you were speechless, but you realized that you want to try. You realized that you want to give yourself to him because he truly loves you, and is so patient with you and doesn't rush you into anything.
And so you agreed.
The rest of the night was spent with passion and, most importantly, love. He was stopping every few seconds at first, constantly worrying if you were all right and if you wanted to stop and if you were comfortable. You felt like you could cry from happiness. You loved him so much your heart was hurting you.
He was so gentle with you, whispering prises to you all night long, kissing every single inch of your body. He was making you fall in love with your body and with him all over again, and you loved him more than anything for it.

Growing up in the under city didn't just make you an outcast. It made you something worse. It made life harder for you. Whenever you would even think about setting foot up top, no matter how much you tidied yourself or how much you made yourself look presentable, somehow they would always know. They would always know that you just didn't belong.
But that didn't stop you from anything.
You were going to change the world and you were going to make the under city nothing but just another side of the bridge.
And no one was going to stop you from that dream.
---
"y/n! How long are you going to be in there!!!"
Music blared in your room and you took a step back, appreciating your work.
"y/n! Open this goddamn door or I'm gonna break it down myself!!!"
Everything was coming together, you could feel it. Just one more-
"Y/N!!!!!"
You jumped when you heard your name being shouted from the other side of the door and you quickly turned off your music. You threw open the door, your face red with embarrassment to find Mel standing there, her arms crossed.
"I have been screaming your name for five minutes too long, y/n. What the hell are you doing?"
"I was just..." you rubbed the back of your neck and pointed to a mechanical piece on a desk that looked like a puppy.
"What is it?" Mel tilted her head and walked into the room. She reached toward the piece, but you stopped her quickly.
"D-Don't touch that. It's not done yet. I wanted to show it to Professor Heimerdinger first but-"
"Don't worry, y/n," Mel placed her hand on your shoulder and smiled at you. "I'll leave it be. The reason I bothered you though was because I wanted you to meet someone."
"Meet someone? Mel, you know I don't really like meeting new people. Plus I'm busy and-"
"I think you'll like him, y/n," Mel put her hand on your shoulder and smiled at you. "He wants to change the world."
"Change the world," you scoffed. "Don't they all?" Your tone was mocking, but honest. Everyone who grew up up here wanted to 'change the world' but nobody knew the world they needed to change. No one knew what the people in the under city had to go through. They did all this change for people to still suffer. You hated it.
"He's different, y/n. Please trust me."
You took a deep breath. "Fine. I'll go with you. But don't expect me to work with anyone, okay?"
The two of you stepped out of your lab and you walked out.
"You know," Mel giggled. "I don't really see how a mechanical puppy is supposed to change the world. You know, since you're so keen on doing that."
Your face flushed red. "Sh-Shut up, Mel. I just had a block and didn't want to change the world with my mind full of crap, so I wanted to do some... artistic freedom."
"I'm just teasing you, that's all."
Mel led you to a room pretty far away from your own. Another lab, it seemed. There was nothing you hated more than working with others though, so Mel was simply just wasting your time.
"Jayce?!" Mel called out. "Jayce, I brought that scientist!"
"What?!" Jayce was under some giant device in the middle of the room and slammed his head while trying to scoot himself out. You couldn't help but laugh.
"Damn." He stood up, rubbing his head, and walked over to you with a smile, sticking out his hand to shake yours. "You must be y/n, right?"
You smiled slightly and took his hand. "I am. You're Jayce?"
"That's me! Professor Heimerdinger has showed me some of your work. You're a very talented scientist, y/n."
You blushed a bit. "Oh, you think? Thanks. It's not much but you know..."
"Not much? Are you kidding?!" Jayce looked surprised. "This is nothing?!" He pulled out a picture that apparently the Professor had given him. Something that you made years ago. One of your best projects.
"Well, not nothing nothing.... but like... Thank you."
Jayce smiled at you. "I want you to work with me."
You looked shocked. "Work with you?" You turned to Mel and she just smiled.
"Yeah! You're super talented and the more the merrier!"
"Oh, I don't work with people." You admitted.
"Why not?" Jayce sat in a nearby chair, rolling it closer to you.
"It's just not how I like to work, thanks though."
You went to walk out, but Mel grabbed you on the shoulder and hissed in your ear. "y/n, this is a huge opportunity. Why not take it?"
"I work alone." You hissed back.
"Just please try for a while, y/n. You're giving up perfect opportunities. I want you to do something with your life instead of being cooped up in your room waiting for change that won't happen unless you get the help you need."
You exhaled sharply and turned to Jayce who was looking at you with a soft smile.
"Fine." You said quietly. "I'll work with you. But if it's all for nothing, I'm out. You promised change, now show me some."
Jayce smiled at you widely and shook your hand. "You won't regret this, y/n. And with your help, that change should come in no time. Now let me grab Viktor, he's gonna be so excited!!"
Jayce quickly ran off and you turned to Mel. "Viktor? Who's Viktor?"
"Your other partner, y/n. I want you to get along with these boys. I'm sure you'll make the change you desire."
Honestly, as much as that feeling inside of you wanted to hate the idea of working with other people, you were actually excited to work with Jayce. He was a very talented man who had made magic and science work together. And maybe he really was the missing piece you needed to make the change you desired so heavily.
Or maybe that missing piece was... him.
Your face flushed a bright shade of pink when Jayce dragged in a boy that looked no older than you. He had scruffy hair and deep cheekbones and held a cane.
"What's this all about, Jayce?" The boy asked with a thick accent. "I was working!" He fixed his hair and cursed at Jayce under his breath, but froze when he saw you.
"Viktor, I want you to meet y/n! Our new business partner."
Viktor limped forward and smiled at you. "I'm excited to work with you, y/n. Now come, I want to show you something." He immediately turned around and walked to where he came from. You turned to Jayce and Mel, who just shrugged at you.
"Are you coming, y/n?" Viktor asked. "And what about you, Jayce?"
You hurried over to Viktor and Jayce chuckled. "I think I'll keep working on this monster," he gave the giant device he was working on earlier a smack that echoed a metal boom.
"Fine then," Viktor scoffed. "More for y/n then. Come now."
While walking behind Viktor, you couldn't help but blush a little. He was just so.... you didn't know, but something about him stood out to you.
"You're from the under city, aren't you?" Viktor asked, not looking at you once.
"How did you know?" Ever since you somehow got into school above the under city, no one had recognized you were from down there in a long time.
Viktor chuckled. "I am from there too!"
"Really?!" You didn't know why that excited you so much. Maybe it was just nice to have someone with a familiar backstory who wanted to help with the same cause as you.
Viktor pressed his index finger onto his lips as if he were shushing you. "Don't tell Jayce though. I still want it to be a secret. It's more fun that way, no?"
You laughed. "Then I guess we'll keep each other's little secrets."
Viktor led you into a smaller lab where there was scattered papers and bits and pieces of mechanical parts spread across a large desk.
He walked over to a area covered in papers and swept them away before pulling out a bright blue shard of some sort. He threw it at you and you struggled to catch it, but luckily you did.
"What is this?" You eyed the piece for a moment before looking back up at Viktor.
"A Hex Crystal. Get used to it. This is what you'll be working with."
The luminescent blue crystal held your gaze for a long while. So this was how he was doing it? You were amazed. This little thing could do so much more than what it looked like it could do.
"Cool, huh?"
You smiled like an idiot. "Super cool."
"I cannot wait to work with you, y/n."
"I can't wait to work with you, Viktor."
---
Hextech was one of the most successful businesses in the world. Years of work paid off, and honestly, you made some great friends out of it.
The kid you were years ago begging for food on the sides of the streets of the under city would be ecstatic.
"Giving another speech today, Mr. Handome Pants?" You asked Jayce, pulling on a nice jacket to wear at another ceremony of many that you've already been to this week.
Jayce rolled his eyes at you and slicked back his hair. "Yes, I'm giving another speech today."
"Well, good luck out there!" You smiled and gave him a pat on the back that almost sent the man flying forward.
"Jesus, y/n. Maybe you're a little too supportive, don't you think?" He rubbed his back that definitely had a red mark in the shape of your hand.
You laughed and gave Jayce a hug. "Seriously though, good luck out there, Jayce. Thanks for everything."
You pulled away, and Jayce smiled at you. "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you and Viktor. Thanks so much for joining us."
You smiled warmly and tightened Jayce's tie. "Don't be late."
"I won't." Jayce hurried out of the room and you just sat playing with a mechanical dog you made years ago. Mel told you it wouldn't change the world, but it sure made you happier, so it was one of your best inventions.
You heard a soft knock on the side of the door and looked up to find Viktor leaning in the door frame. "Jayce is giving the speech now."
"Not out there drinking or partying, Viktor?"
Viktor laughed out loud. "Imagine me partying. No. I'm working on something right now."
"When are you not?" The mechanical dog you were playing with ran to Viktor and laid on his feet.
"You act like you're any better, y/n."
"Hey! I'm actually not working on anything right now! I'm actually relaxing."
"We'll see how long that lasts." Viktor chuckled and walked over to where you were, taking a seat next to you as the dog found a little corner to lie in.
"You're awful, Viktor." You nudged him on the shoulder and he just giggled quietly.
"Am I now?"
"Yes."
The two of you sat in silence for quite a while, just enjoying the sun that was pouring into the room and the quiet before you both had to go out there and be representatives of Hextech. You didn't mind the chaos, but after a week of doing it, it could get quite exhausting.
"I'm glad I met you, Viktor." Your voice was quiet, but sincere.
"Where did that come from?" He matched your volume, a slight laugh behind his words.
"Just take the compliment."
"I'm glad I met you too."
"You're a very talented man." You turned to look at Viktor. He was so much paler then he used to be, and his cheekbones caved in even more, which you didn't even know was possible. Oh god, the least he could do is get some damn sleep.
"I think that's enough with the compliments. You're too full of flattery." Viktor set his hand on the leg that caused his limp and didn't look towards you at all.
You moved his hand and replaced it with yours. He finally looked over at you, shock painting his face. "y/n, I-"
You interrupted him quickly, pressing your lips to his. He was in shock for a few moments, but pulled you closer, a groan slipping out from the back of his throat. You pushed yourself into the kiss more, but didn't realize that would cause the both of you to fall flat onto the floor.
You both pulled your lips away from each other and he giggled, cupping your face. "What are we even doing?"
You just shrugged and fell onto Viktor's chest before laying next to him on the floor. You two stared at the ceiling, hand in hand for a while just listening to the sound of cheers from outside.
"I want to fix the under city." You said, your tone softer than it's ever been before. "I love helping up here, but what about them?"
"I know how you feel. I want to help too. I just don't know how."
You sighed. "Neither do I."
"But we can figure it out together, no?" He squeezed your hand and turned on his side, his nose inches away from your own. "We're smart and we know what it's like down there."
You smiled and cupped Viktor's face, placing a small kiss onto his nose. "I think we can. It might take time, but with you by my side, we can do anything."
"We can kick the world's ass."
You laughed out loud, making Viktor sigh lovingly. He loved that laugh.
"Yeah, Vik, we can kick the world's ass."
He leaned forward and pressed his lips to yours, sighing into the kiss. You pulled yourself over so you were on top of him and the two of you smiled into the kiss.
Viktor pulled away, his lips sticking to yours for a moment and he chuckled, the breath from his nose dusting your face. "I think I love you." He whispered.
"You think?"
He just laughed and pulled you in for another kiss.
"Ahem!" You both nearly jumped out of your skin, finding Jayce standing at the door with a stupid smile plastered on his face.
"Oh, what are you looking at?!" You scoffed, getting off of Viktor and helping him off of the ground.
"I didn't mean to interrupt this romantic moment," Jayce said. "But I would love to see you guys at the party downstairs. This is your company too, after all." He winked at the two of you and left.
You turned to Viktor with a smile. "Sorry about that."
"Please don't apologize," he placed a small kiss on your cheek and grabbed his cane. "We can do this another time. Maybe somewhere more..." he brought his lips mere centimeters away from your ear. "private."
And just like that, he left.
That bastard.
You were gonna get him back for that one.

Our Not-So Happy Ending
prologue - part ii.
❝すべての重荷を下ろして休んでください。❞
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Off With Your Head!” Riddle shouted as a collar appeared around Grim’s neck, only making the cat scream more.
“MYAH!? What are you doing!?!” He exclaimed angrily.
Y/N watched as the collar magically appeared, so this place really was full of magic! How exciting! This was so thrilling, and it was such an amazing dream too, she might not want to wake up just yet!
“The Queen of Hearts Rule Twenty Three; ‘One must never bring a cat to a formal affair.’ Your very presence is a violation of order.  You will vacate these premises immediately.” Riddle ordered.
Grim was not happy by this. “But I ain’t a cat either! Don’t try to collar me! I’ll burn it right off!” He tried to activate the blue flames, yet, it didn’t work. “Wh-What gives!? My fire ain’t workin’!”
Riddle only looked at the feline with a scrutinous expression. “Until I deign to remove that collar, you won’t be using any magic. You’re naught but a pet cat now.”
“M-MeoWHAT!? I ain’t nobody’s pet NOTHING!” Grim shouted angrily, stomping his little paw on the floor.
Y/N giggled as she saw the feline throw a tantrum, this was so bizarre! She’d never seen a cat walk on two legs, talk or was able to use fire like Grim has.
“Oh, you’ve nothing to worry about there. I certainly have no interest in having you as a pet. The collar will disappear once you’re removed from campus,” Riddle said with an eye roll and scoff.
Azul laughed heartily, “Haha! Good show as always, Riddle. Your signature spell locks down any magic. It’s quite handy. I’ve just GOT to have it— ah… I mean, I’ve just got to have respect for it.”
This time, it was Crowley’s time to look disappointed. “Enma! Was I not clear that you are expected to take responsibility for your familiar!? Now discipline your— What’s that? It isn’t yours?” 
“I’ve told you repeatedly that it isn’t mine!” Enma said with a frustrated scowl.
He seemed to ponder for a moment before he turned to face the young girl. “Okay then, Y/N, is this your familiar?”
She stared at Grim before looking at Crowley, shaking her head, “no sir! I’ve never seen that kitty before!”
“Oh…” Crowley seemed a little disappointed upon hearing the two human’s responses. “Is that so?” He cleared his throat, “then I shall have it expelled it from campus. I shall even spare it from being served as dinner. My, but I AM kind… Someone take this away, please.”
Grim began to shout even more, didn’t his voice get tired? “Noooo! Let me goooooo! You fools better remember my name! ‘Cause I’m gonna go down in the annals of magic history! Just you wait!”
Enma watched as Grim began to be dragged off somewhere before his eyes caught Y/N’s ones. She had been so enamoured by the whole thing that she’d been in awe the whole time.
“I feel kind of sorry for him,” the boy whispered to her, and she nodded. 
“Well, that was quite the unexpected fracas. I hereby declare that orientation had concluded!” He said as silent fell over the room. “Hm? Come tot think of it, I don’t see Housewarden Draconia of House Diasomnia anywhere…”
“And that surprises you?” The boy with lion ears asked sarcastically, “dude’s a total recluse.”
“Wait a sec… Did anyone even invite him?” The boy with red eyes inquired.
The handsome boy sighed, “if you’re that worried about him missing out, maybe you should have told him yourself.”
The red eyed boy hummed, “maybe… but I don’t know him too well either…”
Whispered erupted from the crowd of new students and Y/N and Enma listened intently.
“Draconia..? Like, Malleus Draconia? That Draconia?” One student muttered quietly.
“So it’s true? He really does go to school here then?” Another added.
“Yikes…” One mumbled.
“Ah, just as I’d expected.” A new voice said, it was a boy with a deep voice. “I figured I’d come down and see for myself whether Malleus had made an appearance. But once again, he was evidently not informed that his presence was required at an offical ceremony.”
Someone wasn’t invited? Well, that was no good! Nobody deserved to be left out! If Y/N ever met this Malleus Draconia, she’d be sure to perform the best show ever to make him smile!
“You have my sincerest apologies. I assure you, this oversight was in no way intended as a snub.” Azul stated.
“I mean, you must admit, he’s not exactly the easiest person to strike up a conversation with.” Riddle added.
The boy with the deep voice just sighed shallowly, “no matter. All who were assigned to House Diasomnia, follow me. I just hope he doesn’t sulk about this…”
Y/N watched as the people of said House Diasomnia began to follow the short boy, presumably back to  where this Malleus person stayed.
“Well, you two. This is a most unfortunate turn of events. I’m afraid that. you will not be attending Night Raven Academy after all. Surely you realise that I cannot very well admit a student with no magical ability to my academy. But, worry not. The Dark Mirror will see you home safely. Now, step to into the gate, and visualise the place you whence you came.” Crowley advised.
Y/N saw Enma let out a sigh of relief. She watched as he stepped up first, thinking of wherever it was he came from.
“O Dark Mirror! Return this soul to where it belongs!” Crowley bellowed, his voice ringing throughout the room.
Yet, the Mirror gave no response. So, Crowley cleared his throat awkwardly, “l-let us, er… try this again. O Dark Mirror! Return this soul—“
“There is no such place,” the Mirror stated blankly. 
Crowley was shocked, “what?”
“There is no place in this world where this soul belongs. None.” The Mirror says.
The headmage thought for a moment, trying to find a reasonable answer for this conundrum. Perhaps Y/N would be sent back to her home then. “Y/N, it’s your turn.”
With a happy skip and nod, she stood inside the gate, visualising Phoenix Wonderland, her family and her friends.
“O Dark Mirror! Return this soul to where it belongs!” Crowley recited, secretly hoping that this time it would work.
Yet, “there is no such place,” the Mirror repeated blankly. 
“But, how can that be? My, but today is a veritable cavalcade of impossible phenomena!” The headmage exclaimed. “This has never happened throughout my long tenure. I must confess that I am something of a loss. Tell me, from what lands do you hail?”
Enma remained silent, as if he was unsure of the answer himself.
So, Y/N answered, “Shibuya, Tokyo!” 
The eccentric man hummed, “I’m afraid I am not familiar with such a place. I am intimately acquainted with the origins of every student who has ever come here, and yet… This mysterious homeland of yours eludes me. Let us go to the library and look it up, shall we? We can even try to find where it is Enma has come from as well.” 
What? He had no idea where Tokyo was? Well, this was a dream after all, so it kind of made sense… right?
The walk to the library was short and silent. Crowley seemed to be thinking about how the two mysterious humans came here — or how to get them home.
Arriving in the library, he pulled out many geography books and maps from various shelves, sprawling them out on a table, reading them for a few minutes.
Those minutes were long and silent.
“Just as I’d suspected,” he said, placing his hands on his hips, “nothing. Not even your homeland is listed on any map from any point in history. Now, are you QUITE sure that you come from such a place? That it wasn’t some sort of lie or jape, Miss Y/N? Because, if so, the only explanation is that you’ve come from another planet. Or perhaps you were summoned here from another dimension.”
Y/N let out a squeak of surprise, “eh? So… so… you haven’t heard of anywhere like Miyamasuzaka Girl’s Academy, Scramble Crossing or even Phoenix Wonderland!?”
“Both of you, show me everything you have brought here with you. Do you have some form of identification, a drivers license perhaps? Or even a… shoe? You do seem a tad bit… empty-handed,” the headmage commented.
Fishing through her pockets, Y/N searched for her phone. Yes! She still had it! The only thing was that it was completely dead. She let out a whine and pouted a bit.
“That’s fine, we will charge it soon enough, Miss Y/N, now, what about you Enma? Do you have any sort of identification?” He asked.
Enma did the same as Y/N, however, came out empty-handed. “As you’ve said, I’ve got nothing.”
“Well, this is quite the predicament. I cannot have people with no aptitudes for magic bumbling about my magic academy. And yet, as an educator, I am loath to expel young people without a cent to their name, or any. ability to contact their guardian… Truly, my grace is boundless. Hmmmm… Ah! There is a vacant building on this campus. it was, in fact, used as a dorm a long time ago. With proper cleaning, it should be habitable enough. Out of the profound kindness of my heart, I will allow you both to live there for the time being. In the meantime, we will investigate other ways to send you home. Dear me, but I am a gracious man indeed! A model educator, one might say.” Crowley praised himself, “well then, I shall take you both to your dorm straight away. It is an older building, but it has plenty of… character, one might say.”
Would Y/N even wake up soon? She was missing home more and more now, would she even be able to access the SEKAI? She would only have to hope.
Arriving at a falling apart dorm wasn’t something Y/N expected per se, “uwah!! Everything is so messy!”
“Uh, you want us to stay… here?” Enma asked the man.
“Isn’t it delightful?” Crowley said chipperly, “right, scoot inside now. There you go.” He pushed the two magicless humans inside the falling apart dorm. “This should keep the elements at bay for the time being. Now, I should return to my research. Do try to find some way to busy yourselves. But, don’t let me catch you wandering the campus! Ta~!” 
Then, he left. 
He was eccentric and funny, Y/N actually thought about Tsukasa. She missed her friends, this dream was going on too long too! When would she wake up? 
“It’s like a desolate snowscape. Only with dust. I don’t even see a clean place to sit…” Enma muttered as he brushed the mountain of dust off a chair.
They then heard the rain hit the roof of the ramshackled dorm.
“GWAH! It’s pouring out there!” A familiar voice exclaimed as the door opened to the dorm, closing behind the figure.
It was Grim!
“Bwahahah!” He laughed maniacally, “the look on your faces were priceless! Like a bat that got blasted by a water gun. As if I wouldn’t just. sneak back onto campus the second I escape pryin’ eyes. You all got no idea what I’m capable of! I ain’t givin’ up on goin’ here just cause I got kicked out one measly ol’ time. And if you think otherwise, you don’t know Grim!”
The girl let out a laugh when Enma began to scream for guards playfully, which resulted in her mimicking him.
“Hey! N-No! Bad humans! BAD HUMANS! Ain’t you gonna ask what. I’m doin’ here!? That’s what you people do, right? Talk about feelings and stuff? Just what kinda humans are ya, anyway? It wouldn’t kill ya to listen to me! Right!? I was born to do this! I’m a magical prodigy who’s got the makins’ to become one of the greatest mages who ever lived! So, I’ve been waitin’ and waitin’ for that black carriage to come for me. And yet… Hrmph!! That Dark Mirror’s got no eye for talent! That’s why I took the initiative and came here myself. You humans don’t understand what a mistake you’re makin’! Not letting me in is a great loss to the world! Mrraooo! C’mon, scoot over! I’m getting dripped on here! Bwah! Another hole in the roof!? These flamin’ ears are like my trademark, y’know!? I can’t let ‘em get doused!” Grim ranted.
Y/N was still fascinated by him being bale to speak but he was a cute kitty too! She’d never seen one like him either.
“Guess I’ll go look for some buckets, want to come Y/N?” Enma asked, looking at the girl.
“Un! Okay!” She nodded happily.
“I dunno why you don’t just magic those holes away. You could have it fixed in half a jiff. Ahhh, right. You can’t use magic at all! Pfft..! Man, you guys are useless.”
That seemed to irk the boy because he scowled. “Then why don’t you do it?”
Grim laughed in surprise, “heh? You want ME to help YOU? Ha! You got the wrong idea. I’m just a stranger takin’ shelter from the rain. You ain’t the boss of me. If ya’ had some cans of tuna to trade, well, that’d be another story. But I don’t work for free.”
“Yikes, the leaks are getting really bad. We really should find those buckets,” Enma suggested to himself.
And so, the trio then went into a hallway. As they stood in the ramshackled hallway, they could hear all kinds of unpleasant sounds like creaks and tapping.
“This place really freaks me out,” the boy said, Grim nodding.
“Yeeheehee… Bwahahahaha… We haven’t had visitors in ages! Oh, I’m just itchin’ for new friends! Ahahah!” There was a ghost!
“Gh-Gh-Ghosts!” Enma exclaimed with a shriek.
Y/N only gasped, hiding begin Enma — as if it’d do anything to protect her.
“Hey, keep it down over— AAAAAAAH! GHOSTS! GHOOOOOOOOOOSTS!” Grim screamed loudly, his voice going an octave higher.
“All the people who used ta’ live here got scared of us and ran away.” Another ghost said.
“We just want a new ghost to play with! What do you say, buddy?” The previous ghost asked with a cheeky grin.
“Help me!” Enma shrieked.
Y/N saw as Grim shivered, were they afraid of ghosts? She wasn’t, what she was scared of was the dark.
“EEEEEP! I’m a master sorcerer! I ain’t afraid of any dumb ghosts! Myahaaaa!” Grim exclaimed, shooting fire towards the three ghosts.
“Nuh-uh~! Not even close.” Another one said.
“Over here! Over here! Ahahaha!” The first one cackled.
“Argh!” Grim hissed, spraying more fire everywhere. “They keep disappearing and reappearing!”
“You’re gonna set the whole dorm ablaze!” Enma scolded the feline, who only snapped back.
“Shaddup! I don’t need any lip from you!” 
“Beat them, and we’ve got a can of tuna with your name on it!” Enma told the cat, knowing what the answer would be.
“Myah..!? Hmph! I’m Grim, Master Sorcerer! How come I can’t even hit one of these little—“
The ghosts simply laughed at him, they thought of this as a game.
Grim only grew more frustrated. “Hrmph! Ganging up on us… Yer just a buncha’ cowards!”
“Did I say one can of tuna? I meant two.” Enma continued to taunt Grim.
Y/N let out a shriek, these ghosts were spooky!
“You… humans! You tell me which way the ghosts are!” Grim ordered.
“Un! Okay!” Y/N exclaimed. 
“To your left,” Enma chimed in.
Grim followed the instructions of the two humans and aimed his fire left, hitting a ghost who yelped. “Aaaah! It buuuuuuuurns!”
“Ha, got one! Keep it up, just like that… And lets clear out the lot of ‘em!” Grim said determinedly.
They soon began to call out directions, though, Y/N would say something and then Enma would say the opposite.
“Rrrrrgh! My fires not hittin’ anything! What’s that? You’re sayin’ you want me to listen? I can’t listen when you’re both saying different things! Huh? ‘Behind me’?” Grim asked, turning around.
“BOO!” A ghost shouted.
“MYAH!! O-Okay…. that one was pretty good!” Grim yelped.
Eventually, with a hand covering Y/N’s mouth, Grim had cleared the room of ghosts.
“Nice! That actually worked! Hey, humans! What should I do next? Give ‘em the works? Hehe! Can do! MYAHH! EAT THIS!”

Writober Day 4: Rot, Rodent
((Jacky is from Faded Scars and used with permission))
The cloying reek told them they were on the right path.  It filled the air soon after they left town up the lonely road winding through a lightly wooded area.  Not even the drifters and vagrants set up camp here, and Jacky couldn’t blame them.  There were days when she thought she could get used to the stink of the wharf district in the heart of Bosadrith’s Rest, but that place smelled like a rose in comparison to here.  She couldn’t imagine the stench on a hot day.
She practically ran at the door of the small farmhouse when they drew near.  Without meaning to, she pounded heavily on the door.  She just wanted to get the barrels and get out of here as quickly as possible, though she feared that the smell was already stuck in her nose and wouldn’t be going away for a while.  When nobody arrived, she pounded on the door again.
“‘Ey!  Who’s that tryin’ ta knock my door in?!” a voice shouted from the large garden behind the house.  A short opossum woman in a roughspun and dirty dress and a kerchief taming her wild hair appeared around the corner of the house, a well-used shovel gripped in her hands like a glaive.  She scowled as she studied them.  “Now what you want?  I ain’t got time for city folk like you!  Say yer piece then git!”
Rails cleared his throat, which sounded like a dull knife on a grindstone.  “Mrs. Boisseau?  We’re with one of the trains that arrived earlier today.  We were supposed to pick up three barrels of your fermented conger eel and two barrels of garum at the station, but no one showed.  We were directed your way.  Do you happen to have those barrels on hand?”
“Yeah, I know ‘bout that order.  It wasn’t there ‘cuz I don’t have any to spare!” Mrs. Boisseau spat.  “Won’t have any for ya for another two months!  Now git!”
Rails held up his hands placatingly, though he was clearly taken aback by her sharp tone.  “Hold on a moment please, ma’am.  You said you don’t have any eels or fish sauce?”
“What, ya deaf as well as ugly behind that mask?  If that’s supposed ta scare me, it ain’t working!”
“Ma’am, please, I’m just trying to understand what’s going on.  What happened?  I’ve heard you made regular shipments to town, so something must have hap–”
“Damn oren got into my garden is what happened!” Mrs. Boisseau snapped.  “Little buggers dug up my eels!  So I don’t have any fer ya!  What little I have is already spoken for, and yer ain’t gettin’ any!”
“Oh, you have some reserved?  Wonderful!” Rails replied with some relief.  “The order is for a Monsieur Gaudet, maybe it’s under that name.”
Jacky felt her blood turn to ice.  Mrs. Boisseau’s scowl immediately disappeared, her shovel hanging loosely in her hands.
“What’d ya say?” the opossum said slowly and carefully.
“Uh, it’s for Monsieur Gaudet,” Rails replied.  “Do you have any orders reserved for him?  If so, we can take those barrels and be on our way.”
Mrs. Boisseau nodded numbly.  “Yeah…yeah, I think I ken spare those…I’ll go check in the barn…”  She dropped the shovel and immediately bolted behind the house.
Rails awkwardly straightened his suit jacket.  “Well, that was odd,” he said, turning to Jacky.  “What do you think got into–”
“Did you accept a job for Monsieur Gaudet?!” Jacky nearly screamed.
Rails backed away in surprise.  “Er, well, yes?  It was on the job board at Bosadrith’s Station, so I can’t say I met the gentleman.  Why?  What’s wrong?”
“Why did you do that?!  Why didn’t you tell me?!”
“Wha–Tell you what?  About Monsieur Gaudet?  Why?  What am I missing here?”
Jacky grabbed his lapels and somehow managed to shake his massive frame.  “You’ve been letting us fuck around for a week with these side jobs when we’ve had a job from Monsieur Fucking Gaudet hanging over our heads?!”
“Jacky!  Calm down!  We still have a week left on the order!  Will you please tell me what’s going on?!”
Jacky let go of Rails and clutched her head.  “Oh shit, shit shit shitshitshit…”
“Jacky, please!  You’re starting to scare me, just who is–”
A scream cut them off.  They immediately turned toward the barn, looked at each other, then started running towards the building.
The stench inside was so great it nearly repelled them, but they caught sight of gang of small, gangly, orange-furred felines attempting to shovel a barrel into a hole in the ground.  They stopped, their large, blank eyes staring at Jacky and Rails.
“Oren,” Rails grumbled as he reached for his hand cannon.  “Jacky, you–”
Jacky’s revolver was immediately in her hand and pointing at the oren.  “Get away from that!” she shouted, pulling back the hammer.  The oren immediately scattered into the barn, scampering over and between several other barrels.
“Oh no, you don’t!” Jacky cried and ran into the barn.  Her head was nearly skewered by a wooden spear flying through the air from her left, causing her to skid to a stop.  She turned just in time to see an oren in mid-pounce with several more behind.  She tried to bring her revolver up in time, but it landed on her and sent her staggering backwards.  Its fellows leapt at her, managing to knock her over, her hand losing its grip on her gun.
“Oi! Gitoff uv ‘er, you–!” Rails shouted before he too was hit by another ambush.  Jacky barely registered his cursing as she thrashed to keep the snapping teeth and claws away from her face.  She swung her fists wildly and was rewarded with the feeling of knuckles impacting a jaw, sending an oren flying with a pained yowl.  Her elbow found another, causing the others to immediately back away, giving her room to get back on her feet.  She lashed out with a kick at another one, and the others scurried back, not wanting to get too close.
Jacky looked about, trying to find her gun.  A flash of orange movement out of the corner of her good eye warned her of another attack at her blind spot, but she was too late to try and dodge out of the way.  The oren swung a long, rusty metal knife at her, the blade looking like a sword in its tiny hands.  It tore at her shirt and she felt the metal scrape against her skin, but she realized that it was so dull that any injury would be minor.  Thank the Roses they were too stupid to properly take care of metal weapons.  She pinned the oren’s arm against her and punched it right in the face with her free hand, knocking it off its feet.
Two more oren flew through her field of view and slammed into the barn wall with enough force to shake some of the dust from the rafters.  “Roight!” Rails shouted, completely slipping back into his native accent.  “Who else wants some?!  I’ll krump all ya ‘eads in!”
The barn went silent as the ground began to tremble.  The oren quickly skittered away with hisses and yowls, leaving Jacky and Rails alone in the barn.
“Wot’s gotten inta–”  Rails was cut off as the ground exploded at his feet.  A huge mole-rat bigger than him erupted from the dirt, knocking him over.  Huge clawed hands pinned him to the ground, massive narrow incisors snapping at him as he desperately tried to hold it back.
Jacky spotted her revolver and dove for it.  She scooped it up and emptied the cylinder into the monstrous beast.  It shrieked in pain and rage, immediately turning towards her and using Rails as a springboard as it leapt at her.  She managed to roll away from it to avoid getting crushed, but the creature was quite agile for its size, turning and raising a claw to slash down at her.
There was a loud BOOM! and half of the mole-rat’s head exploded.  It staggered, wobbled on its feet, then lifted its claw again.  Another BOOM! and the beast flopped to the ground, lying still as blood gushed onto the ground around it.
The barn was silent once again.  Rails loaded another bullet into his hand cannon and climbed to his feet, defiant but clearly unsteady.
“Ready…” he gasped, “ready fer some more?”
The oren dithered in the hidden corners of the barn, considering their chances.  Jacky replaced the cylinder in her revolver with a fresh one and stood up, not even bothering to hide her angry growl.  “I’ve just about had enough of all of you!” she shouted, and the oren quickly fled from their hiding places, scrambling through windows and gaps under the walls.
Rails chuckled.  “Noice one dere, Jack,” he said with a grin behind his mask.  “You def–” She stabbed a finger at him.  “Not…another…fucking word,” she growled.  “Just get the barrels and let’s get the fuck out of here.”

Helloooo friends! I finished my Oscar/Andy fic and will be posting it sometime this week. I know this is a asdfjkl small ship so if anyone wants to be tagged in the fic please comment or like (or otherwise let me know lol) this post for when I post it. :)
This is a roughly 12k fic and spans the entirety of The Office timeline/canon events through an Oscar/Andy lens!
A snippet of the beginning of the fic below:
March 25, 2005
"All right, uhh, Oscar," the interviewer - Steven, Oscar thought his name was - said, looking down at his paper. "We're just going to ask you a few questions that we're asking everyone, get to know you a little, that sort of thing. How about you introduce yourself, let us get to know you?" 
"Sure," Oscar said. "I am Oscar Martinez, I am an accountant, I work with Kevin Malone and Angela Martin." 
"That's great," Steven said, although Oscar noted that he seemed less than riveted by Oscar's answer. "But we want to know about you. Do you have any hobbies? Anyone you're seeing?" 
"I love to read, my book club and I meet up every Thursday to go over classic literature, and...no," Oscar said. "No, I don't have a girlfriend," he clarified, trying to ignore the guilt that was making its way up inside him, as if it were bile. 
But it wasn't a lie, not technically. It was just...electing to not state the full truth. This documentary probably wasn't going to air - who would want to watch a documentary about a failing paper company anyway? - but at the very least, they may show it to the office and he did not want their reactions to "Yes, actually, the man in my book club, Gil? I'm pretty sure we're hitting on each other and I think I'm going to have sex with him tonight. By the way, I think I may be gay." 
Kelly would probably shout and scream, "Oh my god, Oscar, that's so cute!" Jim and Stanley would probably ignore the comment, save for raised eyebrows that probably meant very different things to both of them. Michael - oh god, Michael - his reaction alone was why nobody in the office would ever find out, and it was thinking of Michael Scott that let Oscar squash his rising guilt. 
Steven didn't seem to notice this mini-battle that Oscar had just won. He was back at his paper, jotting down a few notes. "Okay, and how about relationships here? Who's your closest friend in the office?" 
Oscar thought. "Well, there was Tom, I suppose, but he well...you know," he trailed off, and though Steve didn't say anything, Oscar saw his eyes light up with interest, because Oscar had said the trigger word.

To my dearest J,
Where do I begin? By the time I’m writing this it will have been almost a full year since we first reached out to one another. I actually remember where it all started. I was sending around asks with the iconic ‘Hey Käärijä, you wanna party with me?” line from ‘It’s crazy it’s party’ and you went into the comments of one of the responses. Afterwards the timeline becomes blurrier, but that doesn’t matter. It just goes to show that one small comment can truly change someone’s life.
And in just this less than a year time period, I have made so many fond memories with you.
Your imagination never ceases to amaze me. The amount of AUs and stories we have discussed is uncountable. It has always been a pleasure for me to talk to you about the ideas roaming around in my head. You’re a lovely listener whose ever-reading eyes could never skip the lightest detail or softest touch of/to a story. Whenever I’m stumped on the next turn down the road you never cease to give me the best advice. You’re a team player I can always rely on to build the story-bridge together with.
I wish I had a better way to introduce this next paragraph, but I can’t seem to find a different way to put it than simply how it is: You are the kindest person I know. You are not afraid to tell other users when their art has touched you or made you feel intense joy. Another thing I love about you, you’re not afraid to show your emotions, big or small. You make the days of so many users here by sharing their art with others and telling them in your language of emojis, screams and lovely compliments that what they made is beautiful and deserves love. You care so much for the friends you’ve made on the internet. Never not reblogging the content they’ve made and shouting to the whole world that it should see what made you beam with happiness. My dash lights up every time I see one of your reblogs, they are impossible to skip and nobody would want to do that. I sometimes revisit your reblogs of the moodboards I made and the stories I wrote when I have a small dip and I immediately cheer up reading your comments.
You are attentive. You never forget when it’s the anniversary for someone’s personal milestone or an art work. Even works that have been posted months ago don’t slip your memory and are kept alive through your reblogs.
On Tumblr we may joke that love is stored inside of Bojan, but I think that isn’t true. Love is stored inside of Jay. Your love for Jure, Joker Out, cats, the silly things, the scary things and so much more is beautiful.
You are kind. You are beautiful. You are strong. You are lovely. You are the haven a boat can lay anchor after a long journey of not seeing land. You are home after a three week holiday. You are the one that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside whenever we talk.
Please never become somebody you don’t agree with. Take care of yourself. Go on long walks in nature, pet kitties and feed them and enjoy your time studying to become a biologist. Follow your dreams, aim for the stars and shoot into another galaxy.
I love you.
From your dearest,
Kyle
