#I just. Uhm. Haven’t/Won’t finish them

[eat-applez]

I have SO MANY unfinished animations just. Sitting. Rotting. In my FlipaClip library and I have done little to fix my problem with abandoning projects

Hii! If it’s okay, totally okay if not!

Can I please request a TFAWS!Bucky x fem!reader where she is his next door neighbor and they first meet when she’s moving into the apartment complex, and struggling to carry in all of her stuff. Bucky, ever the sweet gentleman he is, offers to help her move in and carries her stuff.🥹 And they spend a lot of time together in her apartment that day getting to know each other. After that they’re best friends (who obviously have a growing love for each other) and often spend time with each other in both his apartment and her apartment. Bucky even starts taking her to his lunches with Yori (who definitely catches on and points out the feeling between the two of them hehe) and eventually introduces her to Sam (who also can see the pair love each other). Many situations bring the two of them closer together, like one day when Bucky saves her from a group of men who followed her home from work, and also another time when Y/n (who now has an extra key to Bucky’s apartment, and he has one to hers) hears Bucky having a nightmare and she goes into his apartment, crawls into his arms, and lays down with him on the floor of his apartment to calm him down🥺 Anyways, they’re both idiots in love and finally confess their love each other after so long of being just “best friends”🥺

Hi! Thank you for the sweet request. This is an amazing, cute, adorable and just lovely request. The way both of them find their way to one another and it just so cute. The end isn’t the best I guess but yeah. I’m sorry it took me so long to write it but I finally finished it! I hope you like and enjoy it.

More than everything | B.B

Your new neighbour helps you to move in but soon he is way more than just your neighbour. Your best friend, the one you can talk about everything, he knows every secret, except one.

Sweat runs down your face as you lift one of the heavy boxes out of your car. You haven’t even started to move your stuff into your new apartment, yet you feel like you’ve carried an elephant around. The sun is shining a lot today, heating the air and there’s not much of a cool breeze that could help you to cool down.

With a groan, your fingers clutch onto the box tighter. You feel the slow movement of it slipping from your grasp, so you try to squeeze it so it won’t fall down. You’re not sure what’s in the box, but it’s heavy and you can’t have all of your stuff laying around in the ground in front of your apartment.

“Need help?” A rough voice startles you. Spinning on your heel, you turn to face the person who stands there and your mouth drops open while your eyes widen.

The man who stands there with a soft smile tugging at his beautiful plump lips has short brown hair and wears a hoodie and gloves. You secretly wonder if it’s not too warm underneath all those layers of fabric. He reaches out to place his big hands underneath the box you carry and lifts it up like it weighs nothing. You notice the muscles working underneath his hoodie when he holds the carton.

“H-Hi! U-uhm, I would love to accept the offer but I don’t want to interrupt you from whatever you were doing,” you mumble, face palming yourself when the words leave your lips. He wouldn’t offer you his help if he was busy. Instead of judging you he just chuckles, his ocean blue eyes sparkle and his nose scrunches ever so slightly.

“Of course, doll! I’m Bucky, and you?” He asks, looking straight into your eyes and causing your knees to buckle. Bucky’s laugh, his voice — he is just so perfect. You’re not sure if he is just an imagination in your mind or if you’re hallucinating because of the heat and limited drinking.

Clearing his throat, Bucky pulls you out of your thoughts and gets your attention back. “I- I’m y/n. Nice to meet you, Bucky,” you say, smirking softly with heat creeping up your cheeks. You reach into your car once again to get another box out to carry.

“You can place it on top of this one, put two on top,” he says with a grin at you. You narrow your eyes, placing another box on the one he has already in his arms before reaching in to grab another carton.

“It’s heavy to carry that much, Bucky,” you chuckle, but place the third box into his arms as well. With a grunt, he almost falls forward, scaring you before standing straight again. He starts laughing softly, winking at you as you grab a box for yourself to carry into your apartment.

“I once lifted a whole engine for a friend, so your boxes aren’t that heavy compared to a ship engine,” Bucky says. You shake your head, smirking before making your way to the front door and into the apartment complex. “Which floor?”

“Second.” Bucky nods, grinning. As you walk up the stairs and along the floor the two of you walk closer and closer to his apartment, and his smirk grows with every step closer to your apartment.

While you think you embrassed yourself in front of this handsome and sweet man with your stutter and dropped jaw earlier, he only thinks it makes you adorable. There wasn’t someone in a while who looked at him with such softness in their expression — someone who doesn’t seem to know who he was, who gives him the chance to get to know him as the person he is now.

“Oh!” Bucky says when you stop in front of your door to fish the keys out of your pocket. You turn around, tilting your head as he chuckles. “Hi, next door neighbor.”

You giggle. For a moment you’re sure he is making a joke, but he just nods toward the door next to yours and grins even wider. Your eyes widen as you look to the door, then back to him.

“I don’t want to interrupt that sweet little moment where you stare at me and my apartment door because you find out that I live next to you…. But these boxes are going to be too heavy for me to carry soon,” Bucky says and nods at the boxes he is still holding in his arms. You gasp, taking the keys and unlocking the door with an apologetic smile. “It was a joke, I don’t mind carrying those boxes for you all day.”

You roll your eyes playfully, letting Bucky walk into your apartment and follow behind. “You’re the best, thank you so much!” You say as you both place the boxes on the floor.

“Don’t thank me yet, we have a lot more to carry,” Bucky tells you, walking a step closer to you and placing his big hands on the small of your back, pushing you toward the door. Instead of flinching of his sudden touch, you giggle softly, liking the warmth of his soft touch.

The two of you carry all your stuff into your apartment and while Bucky looks like he hasn’t done anything all day, you feel your aching muscles. You sigh deeply when you finally are able to let yourself fall down on the couch.

“How can you still look so— so handsome, so good like you haven’t carried so many boxes and all,” you ask, eyes roaming over his tall body while he stands in front of you. Bucky chuckles, leaning back against the wall behind him. His tongue pokes out, gliding over his lips to wet them and cause them to glisten.

“How about I get some food for the two of us, there is that nice restaurant just a block away,” he suggests and you nod immediately. He pushes himself off the wall, turning around to make his way out of the apartment.

“Wait!” You shout, causing him to stop in his tracks and turn back to you. “Uhm- let me find my wallet.”

Bucky laughs, shaking his head and walking further to the door. “You don’t have to pay me for dinner, and also not for helping you to carry those boxes, so no ‘buts’ here.”

With a sigh, you chuckle and Bucky makes his way to get the food. He already likes you a lot, you’re a sweet and nice person, no judging. He’s sure you wonder why he wears a hoodie and gloves even though it’s hot, but he also appreciates that you haven’t asked him about it, so he doesn’t have to lie to you .

— —

After Bucky came back with the food the two of you sat there in your new apartment, talked and ate. The conversation flowed between the two of you and you feel like you’ve  known Bucky for so long already. He is a sweet and gentle man, taking care of you and making you laugh. Plus his voice and laugh is the most beautiful thing you have ever heard, you could listen to him all day and you would never be tired of it nor him.

The connection between you and Bucky gets stronger with every day. The two of you spend a lot of days in your or his apartment and he becomes your best friend. You know you can trust him, you can tell him everything and he knows it as well.

One night a few weeks ago, Bucky came over in just a t-shirt, asking you if he is allowed to sleep on your couch because he can’t stand the quietness in his apartment. You offered him to sleep in bed with you, knowing that he would never touch you unless you allow him to do so but he shook his head.

“I-I would just love to sleep on the couch, you know,” Bucky mumbled, scratching the back of his head while he looked at you with sleepy eyes. He looked tired, not just because he fell out of his bed, but also because he was suffering from nightmares again.

Your scent is always calming to him. It was his first thought as he was sitting on his makeshift bed for the night, sweat running down his body. Bucky would love to say yes to sleeping in a bed with you, but he knew that his nightmares can cause him to punch something next to him and he didn’t want to risk hurting you.

“Are you okay, Buck? Do you need anything, I can make you tea,” you offered, bushing your fingers softly over his stubble. But again, he smiled softly and shook his head. Your touch was so soft, so loving and he got lost for a moment until you nodded and placed a pillow and a blanket on the couch.

“You know… we can also build a blanket fort,” you suggested with a grin, but Bucky just chuckled and patted  the space next to him.

You sat down, turning to look at your best friend. He smiled, his fingers fidgeting in his lap as you place yours on his and hold his big hands in your smaller ones.

“We don’t have to, if it makes you uncomfortable,” you said, smiling as softly as possible while you stroked your thumb over the back of his hand.

“I-I would love to… but…” Bucky stuttered, his eyes were roaming over your face, trying to find anything that told him that you judge him. However, he could only find nothing but pure love, affection and understanding.

“I just… you remember what I told you about my arm and my past?” You nodded, narrowing your eyes. Bucky inhaled deeply, bringing one of your hands to his metal arm, letting you touch it. He always let you do it, since the day you told him that this arm is a part of him, it makes him special. But you also told him that his arm doesn’t tell who he is because even though he was the winter soldier and had a metal arm there too — it was a different one plus he was under the control of people who used him. But it wasn’t him.

With that he allowed you to touch his arm, it was even claiming for him because you weren’t afraid of him. You accepted and loved him, with the metal arm, with his story. It makes him feel like home.

“I dream about it, almost every night. But when I fell asleep the last time here, I didn't have nightmares. But-but I sometimes punch something so I don’t want to hurt you,” Bucky confessed. You couldn’t help the small quirk of your lips — he felt so comfortable that he doesn’t even have nightmares. But you also couldn’t help the glisten of your eyes; it was awful to know that those dreams made him struggle.

“I’m sorry to hear that. You can always sleep here if you want. And just for you to know… I can take care of myself so if you ever want to cuddle, just tell me, I’m sure I can take care of you and also that you won't hurt me,” you assured him, leaning closer to press a soft kiss on his cheek, causing him to blush softly. He nodded with a thankful smile, bringing your hand to his lips and kissing the back of it with a grin on his beautiful lips.

“Thank you, doll. Now go to sleep, I’m sure you’re tired. I don’t want to keep you awake just because I can’t sleep,” he smirked, letting go of you to let you go back to bed, but you stayed where you were and just let your eyes roam over his handsome face a while longer.

“You sure? I don’t mind staying up with you a while longer if it helps you,” you said but he nodded, assuring you that he is fine. “You can turn on the television if you need some background noises.”

With that, you got up and walked back into your bedroom. Bucky smiled softly, leaning back before getting comfortable and turning on the television. Your scent surrounded him and he fell asleep pretty quick, relishing the first good sleep he’d had in weeks.

That was a few weeks ago and even though Bucky loves sleeping at your apartment, sometimes he is out late and doesn’t want to wake you. Plus he wants to give you some privacy. You’re not dating anyone, but as much as he loves your company, he doesn’t want to scare you away.

With time, you become his everything. You’re the one who holds him when he thinks he falls — you’re the one, his one. And even though his feelings get stronger, he hasn’t told you yet. He’s too scared — maybe you don’t feel the same and he will destroy the friendship you both developed so perfectly.

Bucky knocks at your door. He is on his way to his dinner with Yori but he has to see you. He told the older man a lot about you, but he hasn’t introduced the two of you yet.

In one of Bucky’s hoodies — the one you picked out of his wardrobe when the two of you made a mess in the kitchen — you walk to the door and open it. Your face immediately lights up as you see your best friend, who's smiling softly at you.

“Doll! I’m just on my way to dinner with Yori, wanting to check after you—,”  his voice trails off, looking you up and down. His blue eyes light up as he notices the hoodie you’re wearing, and his nose scrunches with the slight curl of his lips. “Looking good in my clothes, sweetheart.”

You giggle, ducking your head to try and hide the warmth that coats your cheeks. You play with your fingers in front of you, then you look up to meet his intense blue eyes. They look so soft and there is nothing but love and affection in them when he looks at you.

“I’m fine, thank you, Buck. Just came home from work, going to make myself some dinner and then watch a movie, probably,” you say. Bucky narrows his eyes, tilting his head slightly and he looks just adorable like that. “Don’t worry, not gonna watch our series without you! Hope you enjoy dinner with Yori, tell him ‘Hey’ from me.”

Bucky nods, he doesn’t want to move, he would prefer to stare at you a while longer — maybe just forever. He knows the two of you are meeting the next day for your movie night, but he wants to be around you all the time. He inhales deeply, looking toward the kitchen — there is no smell of food, yet.

“W-would you like to join us?” Bucky stumbles over his words. “He would love to meet you, and I would love to have you around. But only if you want to of course!” He hopes that you agree and go out with him — even though it’s not a date, but for him it’s pretty close to one.

Your smile widens as you nod. “Sure! But I have to change clothes, pretty fast— at least my pants.” With that you’re walking into your bedroom to change. Your heart races and the butterflies in your stomach go wild — it’s just a dinner with Bucky and a friend of his. But at the same time it's dinner with Bucky, who is going to introduce you to one of his friends.

Within a few minutes, you made yourself ready for dinner and walked back to Bucky, who was waiting patiently waiting for you with a soft smile tugging at his lips.

“We should put some of my hoodies into your wardrobe so you can always wear them,” he mumbles, his eyes roaming up and down your body and taking every inch in. You look stunning — like always.

You don’t have to wear a dress. Bucky loves you in everything, sweethearts and t-shirts or pants and hoodie. For him you’re always stunning. He can’t take his eyes off you, when he sleeps at yours and you get up in the morning — hair messy and you’re all sleepy. You look like the cutest thing he has ever seen.

“Lets goooo!” You giggle, taking your phone and keys and walking out of your apartment. Bucky closes the door behind you, walking next to you along the floor and out of the building.

Bucky has told you a lot about Yori already, they go out for dinner once or twice a week. Always the same bar and always the same food and drinks but Bucky loves the company of the older man. Even if he has been asking him about you pretty often recently. But Bucky doesn’t mind, he can’t seem to stop talking about how beautiful and sweet you are anyway.

The two of you walk along the street, it’s just a short stroll. He asks you about your day, if you had something nice you could tell him, or if someone upset you during work. Your best friend listens to you the whole time, nodding or chuckling with you.

He always asks you about your day, making sure you had something that made you happy and to get rid of the things that upset you. And even if it ends up with him tickling you until you laugh to have something good to say about the day. As much as Bucky loves to hear and see that someone about the day makes you happy, he loves it more when it’s him who causes your happiness.

Bucky opens the door to the bar. His palms are sweaty and he inhales deeply before following you inside, pointing to the bar where an older man sits. He is obviously waiting for someone while talking to the waitress.

“There is Yori,” Bucky says, his voice sounding slightly broken and when you look at him you notice him shifting from one foot to the other. He smirks at you but it doesn’t reach his eyes — you know that expression.

Bucky often looks like that when people are around and he becomes nervous. Or when someone stares at him with a judgemental gaze, mostly when he is overwhelmed.

You stop in your tracks, turning toward him completely so you block his way toward the bar and take both of his hands in yours. “Buck?”

He hums, letting you know that he’s listening. His ocean blue eyes roam over your face, another attempt of a smile on his pretty lips but once again you notice that it’s not letting his eyes light up like his smile usually does.

“Can you breathe with me? Slowly to calm you down. I’ll hold your hands to help you— feel it?” You ask him, inhaling deeply together with him before slowly exhaling. Bucky nods to answer your question, his thumbs running over the back of your hands. He draws small circles, something that always helps him calm down, feeling your soft flesh underneath his rough fingers.

“S-sorry… just- I’m just a bit nervous. You’re my best friend and I told him so much about you already but he always looked at me with a smirk- that looks like he knows more about our relationship than I do.” Bucky smiles at you, removing one of his hands to wipe a strand of hair behind your ear, chuckling softly. “A-And I just can’t take my eyes off of you, doll. You look so pretty.”

“Thank you,” you giggle, holding Bucky’s hand tighter before you slowly walk to the bar where his friend is already sitting. The older man turns around, his eyes widen a bit, just like the grin on his face, as he notices the two of you. Bucky shifts, offering you the place next to the other man before he takes a seat next to you.

“You look just as pretty as Bucky always described you,” Yori says, causing your best friend to choke on his spit. His cheeks heat up and he scratches the back of his neck as you look at him.

“Told you… told you that I talked a lot about you,” Bucky confesses once again. The woman behind the bar walks toward you, a soft smile appearing on his lips. She silently asks the two men if they want to have the same as always. Both of them nod, Bucky doesn't even look at her, his eyes remain on you.

Then the woman turns to you, offering you a card but you shake your head. “The same as whatever Bucky likes, please.” Whatever it is he always orders, you know you will love it. The two of you have almost the same taste in everything and you know what Bucky loves to eat, so you know that he would never eat something that you wouldn’t like either.

The woman smiles nicely before she turns around and leaves the three of you alone. Yori grins at Bucky, wiggling his eyebrows and you have to admit that’s the funniest and cutest thing a older man like Yori could have done. You chuckle, turning to face Bucky, who could win an award against a tomato.

You place your hand on Bucky’s thigh, running your fingers softly over the firm muscle. “Bucky, do you need some fresh air?” You ask, slightly worried that his skin color could be because it’s too hot or the air too thick for him to breathe right now.

Bucky shakes his head. He places his hand on yours and caresses the back of it with his thumb while he looks into your eyes for a moment. “I’m fine, just- just nervous, you know?”

You nod, then you turn back to Yori, who watches the two of you intensely. His eyes are roaming down to Bucky’s thigh where both of your hands are. “So how long are the two of you dating?”

“We aren’t dating. We’re best friends,” you say, narrowing your eyes at the question. Yori’s smile never fades, his eyes glistening. He doesn’t believe the two of you — or maybe he does but then you both are idiots.

“You should ask her out, James,” the older man says and nods toward Bucky. Your best friend's eyes widen but he smiles softly, shaking his head.

It’s not like he doesn’t want to, but you’re just best friends. You’re everything for him, even though he is more than just in love with you, he is scared to ruin everything. Bucky would do everything for you, but he is still stuck in his past, he is over 100 years old — still looking like a mid 30 year old — but that doesn’t change that he is a broken mess.

“She deserves better than the broken man I am,” Bucky says with a soft laugh. He tries to cover the truth, the pain behind his words but you can see through it.

You would like to smack him for his statement. He may be broken and a mess, but he is still the most loving and sweetest gentleman you have ever met. He never judges you, no matter what it is you have his back, you have his love, you have Bucky. You would actually tell Bucky that you don’t want anyone but him but this would lead into a conversation with more confession — something you don’t want to have during a dinner with one of Bucky’s friends in public.

The night goes well, the three of you are laughing a lot. Yori points out often that the two of you have more than just a friendship, that you both have feelings for one another but you and Bucky play it off. You like Yori a lot, you understand why Bucky likes the older man, why he always eats lunch or dinner with him. After saying your goodbyes to Yori, Bucky and you walk back to your apartment complex. Bucky brings you to your apartment, kissing your cheek softly before he makes his way to his own apartment. Your night is filled with a lot of dreams with Bucky and even Bucky himself has a night — without nightmares — but filled with fluffy thoughts of you and him.

You spend almost your whole free time with your best friend, mostly watching movies or just talking about his or your day. You know everything about his missions with Sam and Bucky suggested that he could take you with him to meet Sam. But this plan changes when Bucky knocks at your door after another mission, his smile as bright as always and behind him another man.

You know that Bucky would come home today, you already made dinner for the two of you but you didn’t know he would bring a friend of his. “Hi, doll! I-I uhm… that’s Sam! He asked to sleep here before he flies to his family tomorrow.”

“Bucky!” You say excitedly as you pull him into a much needed hug. You look over his shoulder to see his friend smirking at the two of you. “Hi, Sam. Come in, Bucky has to give me at least five minutes of cuddles before I let go of him again!”

Both of the men laugh and Sam nods before he walks into your apartment. You let Bucky pick you up, you mean that you get at least five minutes of cuddles from Bucky, and he knows that you can be such a grumpy little thing if you don’t get them. He leads Sam into the kitchen, offering him a drink while he refuses to let you down.

“Does he cling to you like that all the time?” Sam asks jokingly. You turn your head to look at him, chuckling softly.

“Why? Isn’t he such a sweet teddy bear around you?” You ask and poke your fingers into Bucky’s cheeks, squeezing his cheeks softly. “He’s my favourite teddy bear!”

“The cyborg being a teddy?” Sam asks, earning a glare from your best friend. “He’s more like a cold, staring machine.”

Bucky growls into your neck, hiding his face while he inhales your scent deeply. He was away for two days but he missed you so much that he can’t let you down just yet. He doesn’t care that he’s carried you around for ten minutes already, he could do it all day and would never be tired of it.

“I made pizza, your favourite one,” you say and run your fingers through Bucky’s hair, making him sigh into your neck. “Sam, do you like cyborg pizza?”

Sam laughs while Bucky growls once again, but it turns into a chuckle almost immediately. You’re just so cute, he can’t help himself, he can’t stop himself smiling  and chuckling whenever you’re around.

“But I get to keep you on my lap,” he mumbles, letting you down for a moment to place the pizza on the table. Sam watches the two of you, smirking at Bucky. He has never seen his friend so soft and not grumpy around someone. But he likes this version of Bucky, the cute, sweet one, that looks so happy. It's like there is nothing that could make Bucky’s mood bad when you’re around, he smiles all the time, even his eyes are bright and shine in the most beautiful blue.

“I do like every pizza,” Sam nods, arranging the plates you placed in his hands on the table. He puts two of them on one side and one where he sits. Bucky grins at him, placing the pizza on the table before he picks you up and lets you sit on his lap.

Your best friend's arm is wrapped around your waist the whole time, you’re deep in talks with both of the men, getting to know Sam but also some secret and funny things about Bucky.

“And once… it was our first meeting, he landed on top of our car and he smashed the front glass and ripped out the steering wheel.,” Sam says before chewing further on the pizza. Bucky hides his face in the crook of your neck, chuckling softly.

“It wasn’t actually me. It was during the time of the winter soldier,” he mumbles. You run your fingers through his hair, calming him. You know that Bucky isn’t ashamed to talk to you about his past but you also know that he is still slightly tense when it comes to it. And your touch, your closeness and softness, is always calming for him.

“My sister and I are almost done with the boat, maybe Bucky wants to bring you to our little party then?” Sam asks, eying Bucky. “My little nephews and my sister would love you! They already love Bucky, and you’re way nicer than the cyborg.”

“Ey!” Bucky grumbles, gripping you tighter and pulling you more against him. You giggle, shoving a slice of pizza into his mouth. Bucky would love to bring you with him to the party, Sam is a good friend of his, and you’re his best friend, his everything. And even though the two of you aren’t dating, he doesn’t like the way Sam talks about you — that you’re nicer and probably sweeter and more beautiful. He isn’t wrong but Bucky doesn’t like to hear someone else saying such things about his babydoll.

“I would love to meet them, if Bucky wants to invite me,” you giggle. Bucky nods, smirking at you with a mouthful of pizza. He chews on it happily, holding you firmly pressed against his broad chest.

“Would love to,” Bucky smirks, swallowing the pizza before he opens his mouth to let you shove the next slice between his lips. You laugh softly, grasping another and shoving it into his mouth as well.

“So, Bucky said you’re not dating one another?” Sam asks, eyeing the two of you. A smug grin on his face, his eyebrows twitching in amusement. You shake your head, running your fingers through Bucky’s soft brown locks.

“No, he’s my best friend! Why does everyone think that?” You tilt your head softly, causing Bucky to almost choke on his pizza. You’re just so adorable and he can’t help himself but with a mouthful of pizza he can’t chuckle or laugh. “Buck! Don’t choke on your pizza! You need to chew before you swallow!”

Sam makes a lot more jokes about Bucky but in return Bucky embarrasses Sam just as much. The evening is filled with a lot of laughter and jokes. Bucky decides to sleep in your apartment on the couch, while Sam gets Bucky’s apartment — on the condition that he has to promise not to sneak around.

The man was more than just curious what Bucky was hiding in his apartment. Maybe a wedding ring already or maybe some really kinky sex toys? But to not destroy their trust and friendship he promises not to sneak around and he surprisingly managed to not do it.

You spend the weekend with Bucky, he asks you out for some ice cream and invites you also to another dinner with Yori. In the evenings you’re wrapped with Bucky into a blanket, snuggled up on the couch while you watch every kind of movie you can find or play some board games.

On Monday, you had to work again. Bucky told you he would make dinner and you can just come over after work. You know he is making your favourite food, he always does when he cooks for you.

You’re currently walking home from work, a few men following you, nothing too exciting because it’s a public street. But no matter where you walk, they follow you, their voices grow louder and you try to speed up. You can’t walk home, you can’t let them know where you live but they come so close.

“Girl, wait!” One of them shoots and laughs. You hear your blood rushing through your veins. The footsteps of the men behind you coming closer with every step and you feel the panic grow. You try to breathe slowly, try to calm yourself down but it doesn’t work. At least not as long as those guys walk behind you.

“I said wait, whore!” The man growls this time, his pace faster than before and he almost reaches you already. His hand is already reaching out and touching your shoulder. You prepare yourself to be thrown around, to be thrown against a wall or on the ground but it doesn’t come.

You walk further, slowing down the moment you feel a cold arm around your waist. The voices are quieter, almost silent. You inhale deeply, noticing Bucky’s scent and only now you dare to open your eyes further to look at your best friend, who presses you into his side. “Hi, babydoll.”

His voice is soft and shushing, you immediately relax in his warm embrace. Your eyes are locked with his — you’re happy he is there, that he helped you with those weird men who followed you.

“Hey! What are you doing here, Bucky?” You ask, leaning your head against his shoulder while he leads you through the street and toward your home.

“I had to go shopping, your favourite snacks were empty and I didn’t want my best girl to eat something she doesn’t like as much,” he chuckles and kisses your forehead softly. His lips are always so soft and warm, you could get lost in the feeling of them against your warm skin.

“You’re the best,” you giggle. Bucky nods proudly. He opens the door for you, leading you into the hallway before you make your way up to his apartment. Bucky prepared dinner already, he just wanted to get your favourite snacks before you were home, and saving his best girl from some weirdos wasn’t a plan, but he did it anyway.

“I know. Now, get yourself a seat, it’s your turn to decide on a movie first and dinner will be on the plates in just a moment,” Bucky says before he kisses your forehead once again. You take a seat on his couch, making it already comfortable and look for a movie. You can smell the food already, your tummy rumbling and you are already excited to get a taste of this delicious food your best friend made.

You almost confessed your love to him after the dinner, the food was so good and Bucky was so close, his lips so plump and soft you wanted to kiss him so bad. But you couldn’t just kiss your best friend, not before you told him about your feelings, not before you knew about his feelings.

You excused yourself and rushed into the bathroom, you needed a moment to breathe, he was just so soft and warm. Your feelings for your best friend went crazy and cuddling with him didn’t do a good job at calming all your running thoughts.

Even though his lips were really tempting, you didn’t kiss him, his presence made you all dizzy and comfortable — just like always — but you two watched the movie and threw popcorn at one another.

A few hours later you went to your apartment and into your bed. That’s where you are now, your eyes closed but you’re still awake, you can’t stop the thoughts in your mind. Bucky is so present in your thoughts, you tried to hide your love — your feelings — for him but the closer you come to him the harder it gets.

You’re so in love with Bucky, just like he is in love with you. You even have the key to Bucky’s apartment, just like he has yours. So when you suddenly hear a loud cracking noise and a wrecked scream you immediately sit up in your bed.

You know that sound too well, Bucky never screamed that loud but you know the way his voice sounds — it’s him. And your heart clenches as you realize that he has a nightmare, again. He told you once that the only way he doesn’t have one is being close to you. You offered him that he could sleep in your apartment even in your bed with you, but he just smiled. He doesn’t want to be a burden, doesn’t want to take away the little privacy you have. Even though you would rather spend your nights with him next to you, you accepted his decision.

You get out of your bed, wearing one of Bucky’s t-shirts — you stole it — and get the keys to Bucky’s apartment before you run out of yours and open the door to his. You already notice the silhouette  of Bucky in the corner of the living room.

He always sits in a corner after a nightmare, his legs close to his chest and his arms wrapped around himself. The wall behind him doesn’t let anyone attack him from behind and from the spot he is sitting at he can see every entrance.

You slowly walk toward him, turning on just a small light to not scare him even more. “Bucky? Hey, it’s me. Can you hear me?” You ask and get on your knees. A bit of distance between the two of you.

Bucky’s blue eyes are widened and sweat is running down his forehead. He nods slightly, staring at you. His eyes drift through the room every now and then, making sure no one he doesn’t want to have in his apartment comes into it.

“Can I come closer?” He nods again, allowing you to get closer to him. Bucky whimpers, tears stream down his cheeks and you feel your heart clenching at this sight. “I got you, Buck. I’m here, you’re safe.”

You crawl closer to him, your hands reaching out to pull him toward you. Bucky’s head falls against your chest, his hands clawing around your back and he breaks down completely. You run your fingers up and down his muscular back, calming him down.

Bucky holds on to you like you would disappear if he dared to loosen his grip just a tiny bit. “Bucky… we are safe here. You’re safe. We are at home, it’s just you and me here. No one is going to hurt you. I will protect you, I love you so much.”

You don’t even notice that you just confessed your love to him, of course you told him you love him but not like that. The seriousness, the love which is visible in your eyes and for the first time since the two of you know one another Bucky looks at you with a shocked but relieved expression on his face. His eyes still widened from the nightmare but your confession gave him hope — hope that someone as precious and sweet as you could really love someone as broken and messed up like him.

He doesn’t say anything, his face is buried back in your chest after you meet his gaze for a few seconds. He wants to believe that you love him, he really wants but something inside of him tells him that he doesn’t deserve your love.

“I don’t deserve your love…I-i…” Bucky stumbles, he whimpers and pulls you even closer toward him. “I-I want you to love me… b-but I don’t deserve your love…”

“Bucky!” You say, gasping at his words. How can someone as sweet and lovely like him not believe to be able to be loved more than everything, that he deserves so much love? “Hey! Listen to me. You deserve so much love! You deserve all the love in the world. You even deserve the world, Bucky. And I don’t care how broken or messed up you are, I love you!”

Bucky looks up at you once again, his fingers digging into your back. He shakes his head, he wants you to love him, so bad, but he doesn’t want to destroy you. He doesn’t want to hurt you, to break you, to make you like he is. “N-no…”

“Yes, Bucky. You can’t stop me, you can’t make me love you less. No one can, no one will ever make me love you less. I pretended that I could be just your best friend but I can’t anymore. I love you, more than everything, I need you, and I want you to see that you deserve love, all the love!” You say, trying to sound serious but still soft while talking to him.

You’re not sure what came over you to confess all that, maybe because he broke down once you wrapped your arms around him? Maybe it was just the last push after the day and half the night laying awake or whatever it was — you don’t regret it, you could never regret telling the love of your life that you love him, that you care for him — that your best friend is everything for you.

“Doll… you can’t… you— I will break you… I will hurt you. You deserve better than me,” Bucky whimpers, he has you already sitting on his lap, refusing to let go of you.

“It doesn’t matter, even when there would be someone better, I wouldn’t like someone other than you. Please let me love you, let me show you that you deserve to be loved just like everyone,” you mumble, running your fingers through his brown locks.

Bucky nods, letting himself fall more against you, leaning into your touch. He closes his eyes, his heart filled with love and affection. He has waited so long to hear those words from you, and now — no matter how shitty this situation is — it makes his heart race and his feelings for you to grow.

“Can you sleep in my bed then?” He whimpers, looking up at you with teary eyes. You can’t help but chuckle at his cute request, then you nod. Bucky inhales deeply, his breath still shaking but everything worked out so well right now, he couldn’t ask for anything else.

Your love will heal him, he knows it because it has since you got to know one another. Since he helped you to move into your apartment. Bucky knows that he never felt for someone before like he feels for you, no matter how broken he is, he knows that it will never stop him from loving you more than everything.

“I love you too, more than everything,” he mumbles, leaning more into you. “You know… I will never let you go. I will hold you in my arms every night, I will make you dinner, I-i will… be the best version of me I can be.”

“You’re already the best version of yourself, Bucky. You’re the most precious man, the sweetest I have ever met,” you smile softly, cupping his cheeks to make him look up at you. His ocean blue eyes shining with adoration and love, no signs of fear to the nightmare anymore. “Can I kiss you?”

Bucky nods with a soft smile across his lips as he is leaning closer already. You giggle at his impatience. But it was just too long to try not to, so you can’t blame him, it was too long to hold back from kissing one another. With a soft smile, you place your lips on his. And they really are as soft and warm as they look. You sigh softly, letting Bucky pull you even closer and hold you as tight as possible against his broad chest. His lips move softly against yours and he relaxes in your warm embrace, with his lips finally touching yours.

He may think that he doesn’t deserve to be loved — but this kiss lets him forget about all the insecurities and worries he has. The only thought left in his mind right now is how much he loves you, how often he wants to kiss you, that he just wants to hold you and tell you how much he loves you — over and over again. That’s what he is going to do, show you his love for you and he will show you that you’re everything for him, just you, only you as long as you’re with him.

Weather girl - Tyler Owen’s x Fem! Reader

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ 𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘴

hey! sorry for taking so long off, i’ve been super busy and getting back into the swing of everything. hope you guys enjoy, it’s a bit of a rollercoaster;)

TW!!

use of y/n, reader and tyler being somewhat surprised by a tornado even though they are chasing it???, quick love confession cause i got tired lmao

─ ⊹ ⊱ ☆ ⊰ ⊹ ─

As the cloud started to swirl, the one supercell storm now forming a small funnel, you stood watching from the beginning of the dirt path a mile away.

You stood there with your high definition camera, snapping away photos of the upcoming storm, just a few feet behind you stood Tyler Owen’s.

─ ⊹ ⊱ ☆ ⊰ ⊹ ─

You two had an unusual relationship, the two of you had grown up together. Frankly, he was your older brother’s best friend. Growing up together, you had always had some sort of tension, he had grown close to your older brother Mason in their sophomore year of school while you were a freshman. As they grew close, he was always at your house with Mason, either playing football in the back garden or playing video games in your brothers room while screaming at the screen.

You were a bit of a nerd, you knew from a young age that you wanted to work in something to do with the weather. So when you were trying to study the weather patterns around you and all you could hear was the screaming of your brother and Tyler, you did lose your mind. Stomping your way towards his room and slamming the door open, banging off the wall.

Both of them staring up at you with disbelief, watching as you throw one of your massive textbooks at them. The book smashing off the head of Tyler and as you reach for the handle of the door slamming it closed.

By the time you had graduated from university, you hadn’t been home to Texas in years. You hadn’t seen your family in years because you were too focused on your career, and it worked in your favour too.

“If we look towards the Joplin area here,” you say standing infront of the map which is covering the massive screen behind you, pointing towards that area, “you can see that there is a storm heading towards this area. Right now, it doesn’t look like anything too bad, however I will report back if it does gain the attributes to form a tornado that would touch down.” You carry on speaking before your cameraman gives you the thumbs up to finish so they can wrap up. “That’s it folks, please do keep checking the weather app for any possible updates! This is Y/N L/N signing off.”

You walk out of frame just as the director cuts. Walking straight over to your assistant who has your phone and a bottle of water waiting for you. “There’s been this number blowing your phone up, I haven’t answered of course - but they literally won’t stop phoning. I’m starting to think a fan has gotten your number.” Your assistant, Mark, says as you open the bottle of water and start drowning it to coat your throat. “There’s not much we can do if it is leaked, but i’ll check it out. You’re free to go home, I know your little ones are probably looking for you to come home” You say before leaning in to give him a hug, he thanks you profusely before running out the massive door to the carpark.

Looking down at your phone, you decide that you’re gonna phone the number back. You tap the number on your phone and put it up to your ear as it begins to ring. After 5 rings you consider hanging up, that was until you heard the number pick up.

“Hey! Is this Y/N?” the deep voice spoke after a few seconds of silence, “Hi! Uhm yeah this is she… Who is this? Why have you been spamming my phone?” You voice slightly breaking, confusion evident in your voice. “It’s.. uh-“ the voice on the phone stumbles, “It’s Tyler, you know Tyler Owen’s”.

Then it all clicked, the voice, the way he spoke, everything made sense. “Tyler, I haven’t heard from you in years..” your voice lower. “Yeah, listen, I see you on the news now, and well.. I was wondering if you’d maybe wanna join us for a few weeks storm chasing. So you can get your own experience.”

─ ⊹ ⊱ ☆ ⊰ ⊹ ─

“Are you sure this is safe?” you screamed at him from the passenger side of the truck, your hands gripping onto the side of the chair. He looks at you with a little laugh, as he speeds up, watching you squirm in your seat. You turn to look out the front windscreen, just as you look, you see the massive tornado cross the dirt road in front of the truck.

Your head quickly turns to his as he speeds up towards the twister. “Tyler, are you fucking crazy?” You scream over the sound of the truck speeding down the dirt path, the sound of destruction coming from the tornado. Suddenly he turns the wheel to his left, the car turning sharply down another smaller path, your body being thrown to the left as you held on for dear life.

“We need to get in front of it before we deploy the rods to hold us into the ground”, his voice still drowned out with the noise around the car. Looking out the side window, you watch as the tornado seems to be standing still.

Panic fills your body, you feel the world go into slow motion. You know what’s coming. “Tyler, deploy the rods.” Your voice quiet, close to a whisper as you couldn’t take your eyes off the storm beside you. “What?”, he questions you, before looking over to see what you were saying. His eyes moving from you to out the window your eyes were glued to, his eyes widening at what the two of you were seeing.

The truck hauls to a stop, the two of you being slightly flung forward. His hand quickly slamming down on the red button in the middle of your two seats to deploy the rods into the dirt ground below the truck.

You finally come back to earth, turning to him as you feel the truck get closer to the ground, the rods securing you into the floor. Your hand reaches for his, intertwining, before you throw your head between your legs in a brace position. Tyler’s hand squeezes yours, a last sense of safety before the tornado hit the truck.

The force of the 90mph wind hits your side of the truck first, your mouth let out a scream as the violent shaking begins to cover the entire truck. The colour of the sky outside goes from a light grey to a dark grey, close to black, in seconds.

You hear smaller items of debris hitting all around the truck, a branch hitting the window with such force you thought the window would give out and crash in on top of you. With all of your focus on the storm now surrounding you, you didn’t realise you had began to cry. The tears streaming down your face as you hold your head down and cover it with your other hand incase of something breaking a window.

You feel the violent shakes begin to slow down, becoming more gentle. Your curiosity for the better of you, your head turning up to look out the front window screen. The storm had just passed you, all the trapped air in your lungs finally cleared as you let out the biggest sigh of relief.

You look over to Tyler, he was already watching you. His smile spreading across his face, “What did you think of that?” His voice full of cheekiness, giving you a slight wink.

And all you could do, was give him a slight laugh back.

─ ⊹ ⊱ ☆ ⊰ ⊹ ─

And that’s how you ended up here, watching the now EF1 cross the field in front of you. Taking your own photos of it, and just taking in the sight of mother nature.

You feel Tyler walk up behind you, his hand making contact with your lower back. Turning to look at him, you smile as he begins to speak, “Hey weather girl, did you get any good pictures?” You smile widens, turning your head to look down at your camera as you go through the pictures to pick your best one, “Yeah I did. Got this amazing one here”, you say in a soft voice, showing the small camera screen to him.

He reaches out to your camera, his hand touching yours, a spark of electricity connecting between you two. You both look up at each other, eyes connecting, both of you looking at each other with love.

“I’m glad you decided to stay with me and the team after what I put you through in our first week”, his voice was full of truth. Your hand lays on his arm, “I would never leave after that.”

“Can I kiss you?” Your eyes slightly widen at the question he sprung into you. He could tell he surprised you, just before he was about to apologise you pulled him in. Your hand laying on his jaw as you kissed him.

You slightly pull back to make eye contact, smiling at him. His voice soft and low,

“I have loved you ever since we were kids, ever since you threw that book at us.”

so high school

Characters: Woonhak & female reader

Setting & genre: high school au, fluff

Summary: Woonhak decides to confess right after graduation before he loses his chance.

Warnings: nothing if a bit of cheesiness (and calling out Taesan) doesn't count

Words: 1.4k

Author’s note: happy bday to our giant baby! based on the prompt “wait, you knew?” “you haven’t exactly been discreet…”  from here; work title was just obvious, so i ended up using the Taylor Swift song instead

Woonhak was going crazy.

He lost sight of you after Jaehyun shoved a huge bouquet of roses into his hands and insisted on taking a picture with ‘his baby’ because he was so proud that this day finally came. Woonhak however had bigger problems than taking terrible graduation pictures with him being half-distracted and his hyung’s dramatic ass looking like he was on the verge of crying for real. Sungho, being the supportive friend he was, still tried his best to take pictures of them until Woonhak decided he had enough.

“Okay, great, thanks, hyungs. Can you like… leave?” He blurted out, the words not coming out right in his hasty frustration and while Sungho was left speechless with a widened mouth, Jaehyun put a hand on his chest and faked a gasp. “I mean, to the BBQ place, jeez. I will catch up with you quickly. I just need to… uhm, do something real quick.”

There was no way he would tell his friends what he was about to do. They already babied him, god forbid they knew that he was about to confess to the girl he had liked the majority of his senior year. They would go on and on about how fast he grew up and all that. Or even worse! If you rejected him, they would turn the teasing into pity and comfort which would have been somehow worse even if appreciated. So no, Woonhak didn’t want anybody to know what he was planning not until, hopefully, he got himself a girlfriend he could brag about.

“Alright, but if you are late we get started on the food even if it’s your big day,” Jaehyun threatened at which Sungho rolled his eyes and thankfully whisked their big mouth friend away before he could further embarrass the tall boy in front of his high school classmates.

When Woonhak was finally left alone, he had his hands full with the flowers he got and a confession to make. He had half a mind to run after the guys to give them the bouquet to take with them but not wanting to lose more time he decided against it and headed to the classroom. Dropping everything he had onto his desk to collect them later he looked around in the room searching for your smile but he could only find some of your friends who were busy taking selfies to commemorate the big day.

“Hey, have you seen Y/N?” Woonhak walked up to Kyujin, worrying his lower lip between his teeth. He wasn’t sure that’s why or just the question in general that made the girl raise an eyebrow suspiciously at him. He didn’t dwell on it though, glad enough when she answered.

“Yeah, she left with her parents. They have a reservation and now they are running late because of the principal’s long ass speech,” Kyujin grimaced but Woonhak was already halfway out the door by the time she finished her explanation, yelling a quick ‘thanks’ back while starting to sprint down the corridors towards the parking lot.

He was going crazy for real. If he missed you, would that be a sign from the universe that he shouldn’t even try? He had it all planned out (okay, well, he was still a P, so it was rather an idea that came to him before bed the night before), he couldn’t give up like this. After all, he wasn’t Han Taesan for heaven’s sake to miss out on this chance and then turn it into a heart-wrecking love song. He won’t be. He would tell you now how he felt and if you didn’t feel the same way it wouldn’t be as awkward as it would have been if you had to see each other every day afterwards. But he would rather have that no matter how broken he would be than losing touch with you and having to wonder about the what ifs.

It seemed like luck was on his side though because the parking lot was just as crowded as the corridors and a long line of cars was waiting to leave. He caught a glimpse of your hair as you put your flowers into a car’s trunk.

Woonhak called out your name, yelled it loudly for the entire yard to hear when you got ready to get inside the backseat and at any other time he would have been embarrassed for his actions and the attention he got for his behavior but now he had more pressing matters at hand. It was worth it in the end because your movements halted and you turned towards him instead of getting into the car.

Needless to say Woonhak was panting by the time he made it in front of you. He really should have put more effort into his PE classes because his lack of stamina was showing but for that he made up with sheer determination and a blinding smile as he looked down on you.

“Hey, what’s the matter? What happened?” You spoke up with furrowed brows and gosh, you were so cute with confusion and a bit of concern written all over your face, Woonhak wanted to smooch you but he was getting a bit ahead of himself with that.

“Nothing, I just need to tell you something,” he stated, rushing the words out before he could lose the courage he was running on.

You looked at him with big doe eyes, questioning and curious and the boy was seriously so gone because he adored the way your cheeks rounded with a smile or the moles just under your eyes. You laughed even at his lamest jokes and played video games with him until late instead of scolding that he should have been studying. You lended him your notes without him having to ask and hell, he even thought that your handwriting was cute with those doodles you tended to draw in the corners of your notebook.

“Y/N…” Woonhak called your name before he took a deep breath and looked you in the eyes. “I like you!”

He declared it right in the middle of the parking lot in earshot of at least a dozen people including your parents. This certainly wasn’t how he planned it but he didn’t want to prolong it any further or he would have gone crazy for real.

“I thought you would never say anything,” you giggled but Woonhak was too nervous to process it right away.

“You don’t have to answer right now, I know it must be sudden‒” He started before his thoughts came to a screeching halt and his eyes widened like saucers. “Wait, what? You knew?” He gasped and his voice went octaves higher as he stuttered.

“Well, you haven’t been exactly discreet…” you smiled so sweetly but Woonhak’s thoughts had been going back to replay all your interactions. Had he really been that obvious? Was it because he kept giving you his plus one drinks from the corner convenience store even when there was no such discount in place? Or that he carried hair ties with him in case you forgot yours? Or was he staring too much? Too easy on you when you played? Oh jeez, what if he blushed near you?

But if you knew and didn’t say anything, was it because you didn’t like him and he set himself up to failure? Is it the part where you tell him it’s better to stay as good friends? Are you‒

“It’s okay. I like you too,” you said before Woonhak could have hyperventilated and you tiptoed closer to peck him chastly on the cheek. Your soft lips left a tingle in their wake and the boy could feel himself redden.

“Really?” He mumbled dumbly but you just kept smiling brightly.

“Really,” you confirmed and giggled when you heard your father clearing his throat. Oh, right, you were late. Woonhak felt a bit sheepish that he kept you up and hoped he didn’t earn negative points in your parents’ favor as you whispered that you had to go.

“Text me later,” you mouthed through the darkened window after you got into the car and Woonhak felt stupidly giddy, he couldn’t stop smiling even when Sungho called him whining that they would eat up all the meat at this rate. Fortune indeed favored the bold and the lovesick.

Just a Collab

Chan x Plus Size Afab!Reader

Summary: It was supposed to just be another collaboration, so why can’t you and Chan seem to get each other out of your mind?

Word count: 1.6k

Warnings: Swearing, Suggestive, partially proofread

A/N: Thanks to the lovely @bethanysnow for this request! I rewrote part of this like five times, but I’m posting it now cause otherwise I’m gonna lose my mind staring at it. I’ll use the other ideas in part two(if we want a part 2) idk, it's late and I'm tired.

Masterlist

Requests are open

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

Chan likes being prepared for anything, whether that’s rehearsing a song or choreography till he knows it by heart, or just keeping band aids in his bag in case one of the members gets hurt. He knows not everything can be planned, and even the things that can often go awry, so he tries to be ready for any possibility.

What he wasn’t prepared for, however, was you.

When the company had presented the opportunity to work with you on a collaboration, he’d agreed almost immediately, having been familiar with your work for a while, thinking it would just be a fun project. But almost immediately, that had proved to not be the case, though what it was he wasn’t quite sure.

“Okay, Jeongin, can we do one more take, just for security?” Chan asked through the mic into the soundbooth.

“Sure thing, hyung.” The younger member responded just as there was a light knock at the door.

“Am I interrupting?“ You asked quietly as you entered the studio, Chan's face lighting up noticeably at your presence.

“Nah, you're good, we’re just recording some backing vocals.” He said reassuringly, waving you over.

“Hi Noona.” Jeongin called, waving at you through the window.

“Hey, I.N.” You chuckled, waving back to him before he started to record.

You listened fondly as I.N. sang, slowly settling into the chair next to Chan, waiting for your turn in the booth.

“So, how come I haven’t got to sing with you yet?” You asked as they finished, bumping your shoulder against Chan’s playfully, making him let out a short burst of laughter.

“Because I.N.’s got a much better voice than me and I thought you’d sound good together.” He said, ears gaining a noticeable rosy tint as he spoke. “I, uhm, I’m just here as producer this time.”

“You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself, you have an amazing voice.” You said sincerely. “I love hearing you sing.”

“Really?” He asked, casting a sidelong glance at you, surprised by your honesty.

You nodded. “Your songs were actually part of what I used to practice Korean.” You confessed.

“Noo, that’s soo embarrassing.” He whined, covering his increasingly red face.

“For you or me?” You chuckled.

“I don’t know.” He said, laughing weakly.

The two of you were interrupted by another quick knock on the door, your manager peeking in to grab your attention.

“Y/n, you have that interview in five minutes.” He reminded you.

“Crap, I almost forgot.” You said, turning to the two of them apologetically. “I’m sorry, I won’t be long.”

“No worries. We’ll be here.” Chan said easily, smiling softly at you, making you beam as you stood.

“I’ll be back in a bit!” You waved as you followed your manager out.

“Bye, Noona.” Jeongin called as he exited the booth, whipping around as soon as you’d closed the door to face Chan. “Why haven’t you said anything to her yet?”

“What are you on about?” Chan said, feigning ignorance. “You saw us, we talk all the time.”

“I meant how you’re both clearly into each other.” The younger said bluntly, not having the patience to beat around the bush on this topic.

“What?!” Chan spluttered. “No, we’re not!”

“Bullshit.” Jeongin snapped, surprising Chan further. He’d spent the past handful of days in the studio with both of you and had put up with enough lingering glances and the blushy comments to know that you were both in deep. “I’ve seen the way you look at her, and the way she looks at you.” Chan whipped up at that. Jeongin continued. “Anybody with eyes can see that there’s clearly something there between the two of you, why are you pretending there isn’t?”

Chan looked down, letting out a deep sigh. “It doesn’t matter.” He mumbled, feeling his heart slowly sink as he spoke.

“Why?”

“Because, what’s the point?” He said exasperatedly. “It’s a collaboration, it’s a temporary situation, she’s… She’s just gonna leave when it’s over.” The last words came out as a mumble as he glanced away again.

“It doesn’t feel like ‘just a collab’.” Jeongin said. “It feels different.”

Chan paused, unable to argue with him, despite wanting to.

It did feel different, you felt different, to him at least. As soon as you’d met, you’d managed to charm him instantly with your brightness and warmth. You were funny and caring, always managing to find something kind to say about everyone around you, not to mention you were stunning. The moment you’d walked in, it had taken him every ounce of concentration not to openly stare at you. You had this subtle confidence in the way you moved and held yourself that he found utterly alluring. Everything about you seemed attractive to him, the glint in your eyes, the softness in your voice, the plush shape of your hips…

You’d even managed to follow him into his dreams, catching him in his rare few hours of sleep, images so vivid, he could almost believe them to be real. The feeling your warmth surrounding him as he buried his face in the softness of your stomach before trailing lower, his hands gripping tightly onto your thighs as they clamped down around him-

He’d bolted up in his bed, heart racing and breathing unsteadily, unable to go back to sleep the rest of the night.

He shook himself, feeling his ears begin to burn again at the memory.

“I just… I don’t know.” He said uncertainly.

“Just think about it, please?” Jeongin said seriously. “You deserve some happiness too,”

Chan nodded slightly, biting his lip. “Yeah, okay.” He said eventually. “But only if the opportunity presents itself, I’m not gonna just drop that kind of thing on her.”

“Of course.” I.N. responded, just as you re-entered the room.

“Hey, what’d I miss?” You asked lightly, reclaiming your seat next to Chan, much to Jeongin’s amusement.

“Nothing.”

The opportunity ended up presenting itself in the form of dinner with you and guys that same night, since I.N. had so ‘graciously’ invited you over to the dorms to hang out and celebrate the finish of recording for the song.

Chan had been a bit nervous about you meeting all the guys at once, knowing how boisterous and overwhelming they could be sometimes, but you’d settled in almost immediately, laughing easily with Han and Felix, talking about art with Hyunjin, and cooing over pictures of Minho’s cats, though you mostly kept close to Chan.

You hadn’t even realized how late it had become as the two of you were talking until you happen to look around and realize the others had gone to bed, leaving you and Chan alone. You knew you should probably leave, but you were reluctant to do so, wanting to soak up as much time with him as possible. The past weeks of working together, both over video calls and emails, and the last few days in person, had definitely had an impact on you as well, and tonight had only solidified those feelings in your mind, making your looming departure all the more painful.

“You okay?” Chan asked gently, noticing your sudden quietness

“Hmm? Yeah, I’m just getting in my head. Nothing new.” You laughed dismissively.

“You wanna talk about it?” He offered, propping his head up on his hand.

“There’s not that much to talk about really, I’m just kinda feeling… I don’t wanna leave yet.” You admitted quietly. “I’ve had a really great time getting to know you guys, spending time with you.” You glanced at him briefly. “It just feels like it’s moving too fast, you know?”

He nodded, understanding all too well. “When do you leave?” He asked hesitantly.

“In a couple days. I asked for a few days off from schedules, thought I might do some sightseeing around the city, plus I know my friends would kick my ass if I come back without gifts.” You joked, making him laugh.

“Well, if you need a tour guide, I’d gladly help you.” He offered, seeing a chance.

“Really?” You asked surprised. “You’re not too busy?”

“Not with anything that I can’t get out of.” He shrugged.

“You don’t have to do that.” You said, ducking your head in an attempt to hide the flush in your cheeks.

“I want to.” He said, leaning in to catch your gaze again. “I like being with you. I want to spend as much time with you as I can while you’re here.” He said earnestly.

“Really?” You asked, half realizing the way you were both leaning closer as you spoke.

“Yeah, I like you a lot.” He admitted, his eyes flickering to your lips before he could help himself.

“Probably more than I should.”

“Chan.” You breathed.

“Yeah?”

You didn’t answer, smashing your lips to his in a feverish kiss. He let out a muffled sound of relief, hands instantly finding your waist, kneading the soft flesh in his grip as you wound your fingers into his hair, giving a slight tug and earning a low groan from him. He half pulled you onto his lap before you could help him out, swinging a leg across to straddle him as his tongue traced along you bottom lip, asking for entrance into your mouth, which you readily granted.

Eventually, you had to come up for air, chest heaving against his as you took in his disheveled state with hooded eyes.

“So maybe now you have a reason to come back?” He panted, looking up at you.

“I’m booking my next trip tomorrow.” You replied, letting out a shaky laugh as you pulled him back in for another kiss.

MATTS POV

i walked downstairs and sat down on the couch trying to find something to do for the day.

“we could go to top golf..?”

“nah that’s boring, matt what do you wanna do because you haven’t spoken up ina while” just when i was about to respond, my phone rang.

“guys eva is calling wait” i answered and put it on speaker.

“heyy evss what’s up?”

“yo you’re on speaker btw so we can all hear you”

“heyy guys so i didn’t know if y’all were busy tonight but i heard madi is having a party at her house i think we should gooo!!!”

“wait bet” i said hoping for approval of nick and chris

“yeah one-hundred percent we’re going because we were literally just trying to figure out something to do tonight”

“alright yayy, see u guys tonight love you so muchhh”

1 hour later

i was walking past nicks room when i heard him on the phone with eva

“but nickkk, pink is my favorite color”

“yes i know girl but if you wear the black dress you’ll match with matt and i’m pretty sure he likes you back but i don’t knoww”

“nick, i really like your brother i might tell him tonight to be honest!”

does eva like me? do i like her back? i always thought she was pretty..

the thoughts were racing in my head

this shouldn’t be making me horny.

as soon as i was going to pull my jeans down, nick yelled “MATTHEW WE WANNA LEAVE HURRY UP”

shit.

“COMING, JUST LET ME GRAB MY KEYS SINCE YOU CANT FUCKING GET YOUR LICENSE AT THE AGE OF 20!”

at the party.

me,chris, and nick all waited outside of the house for eva.

“damn we should’ve just picked her up, her uber is taking years” chris chuckled as he sipped his pepsi

5 mins passed and eva finally stepped out of the car in a tight, black dress that carved out all of her curves. i couldnt ignore how good she looked tonight.

“hey matt you look good!” eva complimented me.

“not to bad yourself” i laughed and lightly tapped her back.

a couple hours had passed and eva was drunk and high as fuck and i could tell.

she started to walk over to me as i was sitting on an arm chair.

“hey matty” she said loudly

“hi evs, there’s no seats available so i can get up if you want!” i said so she wouldn’t have to stand

“i think i’ll just sit on your lap if you’re good with that”

“oh uhm yeah i guess that’s fine”

i was good for a little while until she started to move around a lot to get comfortable.

obviously this made me get squirmish. i grabbed her hips so she’d stop moving so much.

i did not need her to feel her best friends hard-on.

“what’s wrong matty can’t handle me grinding on your lap?” she said seductively.

“stop talking before i stuff your mouth” i said suddenly gaining confidence

“you won’t do shit matthew”

“i’ll prove your ass wrong” i responded back

“do it then”

with those words i pulled her panties to the side and unzipped my jeans. i took my jacket off and wrapped it around us so no one could see what we were doing.

in one swift motion i took my dick out and put it inside of her, earning a quiet whimper from her.

the worst thing that could’ve possibly happened in this moment happened.

all of her friends came up and started talking with her. when she started to laugh her body moved in motions around my cock. making me groan. every minute passing felt like hours.

when her friends left she pulled off of me to go dance or something.

before she could leave i grabbed her by the jaw

“we’re not fucking done with this” she smirked at me and walked off

[Event Story] 1st Anniversary -Butler's Prayers-

previous chapter ✧ all ✧ next chapter

Chapter 4: Miyaji and Lucas

【Eastern Church】

Lucas: …………

Step… step… step…

Miyaji: Lucas……

Miyaji: What are you doing here?

Miyaji: Aren’t you supposed to be preparing for the ritual at the southern church?

Lucas: Yeah…

Lucas: But before I do that, I wanted to offer my prayers.

Lucas: Since this is where his spirit is enshrined.

Lucas: Zepar-kun… He was a very kind person…

Miyaji: …… Yeah, he was.

Miyaji: He was someone worthy of living, worthier than someone like me…

Lucas: Miyaji…

Lucas: Does that time still bother you?

Miyaji: It’s my fault Zepar-kun died.

Miyaji: If I had gotten there faster…

Miyaji: Maybe I could have saved him…

Lucas: Miyaji, it’s not your fault.

Lucas: At that time, there was no lord. We couldn’t use our demons' abilities.

Lucas: Also, when Zepar-kun died…

Lucas: Weren’t you fighting angels somewhere else?

Miyaji: But…

Miyaji: When I arrived, he was still breathing.

Miyaji: He risked his life and defeated angels without using his demon’s ability…

Miyaji: And he drew his last breath in my arms.

Miyaji: If I had come even a few minutes sooner, things might have been different…

Miyaji: Even then can you still say it’s not my fault?

Lucas: It’s not your fault.

Lucas: He just met his fate…

Miyaji: Kuh…

Lucas: Miyaji… Won’t you stop blaming yourself every time someone dies?

Lucas: Not just when Zepar-kun died two years ago…

Lucas: But the other times too…

Lucas: You didn’t do anything wrong.

Lucas: You’ll break one day if you keep carrying everything on your shoulders like that…

Lucas: I don’t want to see you suffer.

Miyaji: Lucas…

Miyaji: …… Then why…

Miyaji: Why… did you save me that day?

Lucas: What…

Miyaji: I haven’t forgotten about this scar on my face.

Miyaji: Much time has passed since then, but…

Miyaji: I will never forgive you for the choice you made that day.

Miyaji: I should have died then.

Miyaji: But you chose to save me.

Miyaji: Not only that…

Miyaji: You saved me in the worst way possible…

Lucas: …………

Miyaji: I was better off dying then.

Lucas: Miyaji. I don’t agree.

Lucas: I’m glad you’re still alive.

Miyaji: Lucas…

Opens

Flure: Sorry for being late, Miyaji-sensei!

Lato: We finished preparing the offerings…

Lato: Oh? Lucas is here too.

Lucas: …………

Lato: Hm… The air seems quite tense between you two.

Flure: U-Uhm… Is everything okay?

Miyaji: ……

Lucas: Miyaji. Let’s leave it at that for today.

Lucas: Let’s not do this in front of them.

Miyaji: Yeah…

Lucas: Well then, sorry for getting in your way, everyone…

Step… step… step…

Lato: Hm… There he goes.

Flure: Miyaji-sensei… Did something happen again between the two of you?

Miyaji: Yeah, kind of…

Miyaji: Sorry. Can I step outside to get some fresh air for a bit?

Miyaji: I feel a bit restless right now…

Flure: Huh? Y-Yeah… of course.

Flure: Leave the preparations to us.

Miyaji: Thanks. I'll go and cool my head off.

Step… step… step…

Flure: Miyaji-sensei…

Lato: As always, they have a mysterious relationship.

Lato: Why do they bother talking if they don’t get along?

Lato: If they hate each other, it’s better for them to just avoid each other…

Flure: It’s probably not as simple as that…

Flure: I don’t know the details, but…

Flure: I heard they used to have a good relationship…

Lato: Hm~... Human beings are complex.

Flure: Anyways… We should leave him alone until he cools off.

Flure: In the meantime, we need to prepare to pray.

Lato: Yes, you’re right.

[neiptune]

I’m in some mood for some melancholic longing, can I request “you never called it what it was” + rengoku + childhood best friends that liked each other but didnt end up together, maybe because of life, jobs, dreams etc 🥺💔

kyojuro rengoku x you never called it what it was

This is your nightmare, honestly.

Palms are already sweating as you eye the drink you ordered a few minutes ago being placed in front of you, it’s staring right back with a neon sign on top of it. The sign literally reads girl, you thought.

“Uhm, excuse me” you clear your throat as the barista who took your oder turns around with a frown. He’s probably having a bad day too but you’re on the verge of tears and a poorly made tea order is going to be the last straw.

“I ordered a chai tea latte with vanilla sweet cream cold foam?”

“That’s what it is”

“Ah… I mean, that’s a lot of cold foam” half of it is cold foam “could you please remake it? I’m so sorry to be a bother” you attempt a smile but his frown deepens.

“It’s the standard way to do it” he grumbles and quite literally snatches the drink from your uncertain hand, then proceeds to scoop out half of the cold foam and replace it with dairy milk. What you’re left with is a tall latte in a venti cup, with a random splash of milk you can’t even drink.

Fuck.

“Sorry, I’m allergic to dairy, could you please just—”

“I don’t have the time” he snaps and you wince “d’you think you’re the only customer here today? Take a look at that line, would you?”

Before he’s even finished with his little outburst, people are looking at you and tears are already pricking your eyes, stinging so painfully you just know blinking a few times to send them back won’t do the trick.

“What seems to be the problem, Kazuki?” a gentle but slightly high-pitched voice from behind you has you jumping. Not because it’s unexpected but because it’s familiar. You’d recognize that inflection anywhere.

Kazuki’s face lights up instantly, a pinkish tone crawling up to his cheeks. Is he embarrassed?

“Ah, Mr. Rengoku, good morning! This lady was just trying to—”

“Now, I don’t think that’s a polite way to speak to a customer” he interrupts him and you sense the tension stirring behind what’s most certainly a friendly smile. God, he hasn’t changed one bit.

When you sheepishly turn around his eyes widen and, for a second, your lungs cease to expand in your chest cavity. Of course he hadn’t recognized you. Of course he’s still kind enough to step in to defend a complete stranger.

An incredulous smile splits his handsome face, eyes glimmering with genuine excitement as he whispers your name.

“Hello, Kyojuro” you mirror his smile and add a pathetic little wave to it. He frowns and you hate to know why.

How can he still hate it, when you call him by his full name? You’re adults now. Adults who haven’t seen each other in years.

“I can’t believe this, I have looked everywhere for you!” despite the slight disappointment, he explodes in a boisterous laugh and, once more, everyone’s looking in your direction. Except this time you don’t mind, you don’t mind at all.

“Tell you what! Kazuki will remake your order, I’ll take the usual” he glances at the barista “and then I can walk you wherever you have to go. Or we could enjoy our drinks here? Whatever you want, just don’t slip away again” the warmth he’s unleashing on you has your head spinning, heart swelling with feelings you thought were long forgotten.

He’s right, you did slip away. Intentionally moved to another city, changed your number, left little to no trace behind, no address information. You thought leaving him, being cruel enough to cut him off without an explanation, would make it easier.

His attempts still reached you somehow. Your mom mentioning his calls, your friends running into him on the way home from work.



He asked about you.

He wonders if we have your new number.

He looked sad.

Why don’t you call him?



But you never did, you never could.

It was the right thing to do, if the staccato of your heartbeat is an indicator as you walk side by side in your favorite park, the one you used to come to when you were twelve and he insisted you rated all his cartwheels. The one with the old, chipped bench you waited on when you were fifteen and drunk, on your way back from a party filled with people you didn’t like. He showed up in the middle of the night and gave you a piggyback ride, silly giggles muffled by the fabric of his sweatshirt.

Perhaps you were just too different. He always loved the big, chaotic town you ached to leave. Life of the party, popular, impeccable at school, great at sports.

He never had too much time to actually care about all those moments, the innocent touches, the casual hold of a hand whenever you’d take a stroll, the three times he had kissed you. They still burn in the back of your mind.

Eleven years old, as a dare. Twelve years old, to distract you from the pain of a scraped knee. Sixteen years old, the one time you saw him indulge in a beer.

“Why did you disappear?” the question is void of bitterness, it’s gentle, even. Kyojuro is not stupid, he knows it was deliberate, he’s aware you didn’t cut ties with anyone else.

“Always hated Tokyo” you shrug, casually stirring the ice in your drink.

“But you left me, too” he insists “you were special to me. I guess I hoped…” the implications of what he’s not saying are too dangerous for you to bear.

“Don’t be ridiculous” you mumble “of course you were”

He stops in his tracks.

“So why…”

“Did you ever ask me to stay, Kyo?” your gaze meets his “you never said anything. You didn’t… you never called it what it was”

Taken aback, he blinks. One time, two times.

So you never thought you deserved better than me?

AVENGERS x NEW!Teen Avenger

-Author note.

Dear marvel readers; I’m just now starting to feel a little more confident and comfortable writing, so please bear with me 😭🙏🏻 but anyways this is an OC reader and is female….just an heads up. This is going to be an actual story so there will be multiple parts, i have no clue on how often ima do more chapter’s because i’m homed schooled, i do taekwondo, and work evenings to night shifts, so if your reading this keep an eye out please🫤.

Chapter 1 - the beginning.

Megan, get up you have school!!!!

Meg get up! I hear both my mom and my brother yell.

I’m up i’m up, what is it with everyone yelling at 6:00 in the morning?!?

As i drag myself out of bed i realize just how sore i am from yesterday’s boxing lesson, you know maybe getting boxing lessons from someone who just wants to hurt people instead of help them learn isn’t the best option. I say out loud as i was getting dressed.

Once i get into the kitchen to make my breakfast and get coffee i hear my step dad complaining again.

Pete please not this early in the morning! I look over to my brother whose sitting on the couch just watching tv.

Me: Hey, bruh!

Brother: Huh? Oh what’s up?

Me: Do you mind taking me to school today? Looks like mom won’t be able too, considering she’s arguing with Pete….again.

Brother: Sure thing, do you need to leave now?

Me: Preferably if you don’t mind.

Brother: *gets up* Not at all just let me grab my keys real fast.

Me: Aya captain! *cue salute*

I grab my backpack and everything i need for my first day of school, even though its mid way through the first semester, we moved here not too long ago, and my mom didn’t want me home all the time even tho thats the definition of homed schooled.

Alrighty bambi you ready to go? I hear my brother say.

Bambi? Really? And yes i am.

What? Your quiet, shy, and kind. So your nick name is bambi.

But i’m not really tall.?¿ Doesn’t matter meg.

Okay then? I have no clue how you would’ve thought of that considering you haven’t seen the movie.

HEY! Me and mom watched it when you were gone last night. Which by the way you still haven’t told me where you go, so tell me where do you go?

Uhm..boxing.. i mumble

What?

Boxing!

MEGAN! Mom and Pete are going to kill you!! You know where they stand on fighting, you were already close to getting kicked out of the house with the amount of fights you get into what are you thinking?!

Where they stand?! Chris, they are CONSTANTLY fighting!!

Not physically!

The type of fighting doesn’t matter Chris! Its still fighting! I’m just boxing for self defense, considering you all refuse to pick me up from work, even though i get off at 12:00 at night! Walking home alone in the dark, from a place that has an population of people that like to hurt kids who walk alone! And no for your information i did not start any of the fights, i finished em but I didn’t start the fights.

I tell him and when I didn’t hear anything i just turned my head to the window. As we arrive at my school, i look over at chris.

I’m sorry.. but please don’t tell the parents. Please.

Fine, I won’t.

Thank you. I say as i get out of the car. Seeya later, byee.

What the pixe dust… why is everything destroyed?! I think to myself when i see inside the school.

Hey kid move out of the way!! Get out of here! I hear a person say. I turn to the voice to see two guys one wearing a American flag all over him and the other with a bow and arrow.

Uhm..so no school? I say.

Get ou- what? They both looked at me like i was crazy.

The school is being attacked and your worry is if there’s school?! The guy with the bow and arrow asked.

Well no, today is my first day here, and i really don’t want to get an lecture from my family..

Why would you get a lecture- the guy wearing the American flag outfit began to ask when something comes flying to me from behind.

Before he could do anything i duck and it goes into the wall.

What the fu- was that?! The guy with the bow and arrow asked.

A piece of metal! I say as i moved to it.

Well obviously, what are you doing?

Seeing what kind of metal it is?

No you need to get out of the school before it goes down hill anymore than what it is. I ignore who ever said that and I realize that it came from the building.

No.

NO?! They say together.

No we all need to get out the school is about to fall down.

We all look at each other and the America guy hits the side of his ear.

Avengers, we need to get out of here the building is about to collapse! Yes everyone is out.

Alright kid, Hawkeye lets get out.

Where would be the best way to get out? I’m going to assume the guy with the bow and arrow name is Hawkeye asked.

The door…? Said America man right as wood collapses in front.

Nope..uhh Window? Hawkeye asked.

Maybe?

I walk up to the window realizing its also blocked.

What about the vents? I know its nasty and all but would it work? Americaman said.

Lets go! Alright kid common-

You know there is an emergency exit right? I say as i open the door not knowing whats behind the door.

KID WATCH OUT! Is all i hear before something blast me and knocks me out.

— time skip—

What the h3ll? I say as all i see is a bright light.

Welcome back to the world of the living! I open my eyes to see a random man staring at me.

AH WHAT THE MEDUSA’S SNAKE?! I practically yell.

OUCH! Is all i hear along with a groan and multiple laughs.

Thor we told you not to do that! I hear a woman say.

But you didn’t listen… i hear a other women’s voice.

I sit up but immediately regret it as everything is hurting.

Where am i?

American man- your at the Avengers tower. You were blasted with electricity so we took you back here and Bruce fixed you up.

American man… i mumble

I’m sorry? He says.

My..Mom..is..going..to..kill..me! Crap i gotta get home!

Hey hey its okay, we called your parents.. the school’s principal provided your dad’s number!

My DAD?!? NO!

Oop someone is scared of there dad. I hear hawkeye say.

MEGAN LIA WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!? Is all i hear.

Nooooo not again. I say with disgust.

This happend before?! I hear a other guy say.

I look over to see my dad, and my mom’s current husband.

Lets go! Pete says and i reluctantly get up and walk with them out side to their car, once i get in their car is when the ear fulls started.

Oh my please not this again! I thought to myself.

Me and your mother had enough of your fighting, you will go live with your uncle! Pete yells in my face.

I look at him. Why doesn’t MY mom tell me that, you know instead of the step dad who doesn’t give a shit about us.

Megan your going to live with your uncle end of discussion. My mom says quietly i look over at my bio dad.

I’m sorry meg but i’m not fit to be looking after you… my dad say’s he then gets in his car and drives off.

And neither is your mother you know the amount of health issues she has! I hear pete say.

Well she wouldn’t have that much if you wouldn’t use her as a punching bag….i mumble.

What was that?! Nothing nothing at all.

Mom… fine i will live with my uncle take a responsibility off your list. Was the last thing i said before i put my ear buds in and ignore em.



Back at the AVENGERS Tower.

Steve’s pov:

Steve: Her Dad looked familiar…

Tony: Steve you think a lot of people look familiar.

Thor: My nose still hurts! I hope her hand is okay!

Nat: I’m pretty sure it is.

Wanda: The real question is are you okay?

Thor: Yes i am.

Clint: Okay, so are we just gonna ignore the kid’s reaction to seeing her family? She looked annoyed, shocked, and terrified.

Bruce: Your right, she also had old and new bruises on her!

Tony: That could mean a lot of different things lets not jump to conclusions.

Steve: I agree lets not-

I get interrupted by my phone ringing.

A New Home Ch. 18

Various! Splatoon Manga x Skilled! Isekai'd! Reader

Wc: 1.3k

Back to the start! Previous Next

Tasha got into contact with Skull, and they decided on where to have lunch. She said that it was out of the Plaza, but she wouldn’t tell you where, not expecting you to know it. But with a quick look around the area, you realized that you’d be having lunch at Crusty Sean’s, in Inkopolis Square.

‘So this is the transition between the Square and Plaza, huh? It’s not as far away as I thought it’d be.’

Your team makes it to the temporary counter that he has set up, since it seems Goggles has already destroyed the truck. Aloha spots you and waves you over. The table isn’t big enough for eight people- no, there’s one too many there. What’s Rider doing here? Oh, he must have just finished hero mode with Goggles.

You do a quick once-over of him, making sure that he hasn’t sustained any visible injuries, and you smile at him, glad to see that he’s alright. Milo has already moved a table closer to theirs so you guys can actually hang out, and you all order your food. 

You all catch up, talking about any recent battles and whatnot. It’s really nice, you weren’t expecting to feel so… casual with them. You all got along well, noticing that you had reasons to get along with each of them. This was quite a big deal for your teammates too, Leo has seemed to calm down around Aloha, but he’s still obviously really happy to be around him. They seem to get along well, their energy building off of one another. 

Milo’s more talkative today, and it’s good to see him be more himself. He finally gets the courage to voice his respect for Army, and it’s pretty cute, to be honest. They begin talking about strategies, and you can tell that you’re about to be trying out lots of new stuff in battles. 

Tasha may be reserved, but she always wants to improve. She seemed to be showing Skull one of your battles, asking for tips. Skull’s pointing out small issues with her form, but that’s about it. How sweet. 

To think that your teammates have lived their whole lives looking up to these players that used to be so out of reach, and now they’re simply just hanging out with them. What a dream come true. Mask’s not one to talk and hang out, so he’s just sitting and watching some anime on his phone. You recognize the opening and smile, it’s good to see that they have the same anime here.

“So.”

Rider faces you, gaining the attention of some others.

“When are we having that battle?”

Now the whole S4 are looking at him- more like glaring at him. Your eyes widen, and you see that this might create some problems. You know that they probably want to battle you, given how you’ve risen the ranks so quickly, they just haven’t said it out loud.

‘Rider, you idiot, not now!’

“WE’RE BATTLING RIDER?!”

Thanks Leo, big help.

“I haven’t talked it out with my teammates yet. We’re still not strong enough to-”

“-WE CAN TOTALLY KICK YOUR ASS!”

‘Leo, I’m about to bust your kneecaps, shut up.’

You sigh and shake your head, pinching the bridge of your nose.

“Why didn’t we hear about this?” Tasha tries her best to appear calm, but you can tell she wants answers. You have to come up with something, now.

“I… I didn’t think we were ready. Sure, we have trained, but I know we can get stronger. I want to take Rider on when we’re at our strongest, it’s only fair.”

“We’ll always be getting stronger. We’ll continue improving, and battles are the main way to do that. Which means battling strong players-”

“WHICH MEANS I WANNA TAKE HIM ON, RIGHT NOW! C’mon, we’re strong enough! We’ve been training for a while now, and we know how to play well together! A battle with him’ll be real fun!”

There’s really no backing out now, huh? Leo won’t shut up about this, and Tasha looks like she wants to try out some stuff she just learned from Skull.

“Alright, alright. We’ll battle.”

Rider smirks at that, glad he finally landed some time with you- uhm, some time to battle. Yeah, to get stronger, of course.

“Hey, hey, hold on there, sweetheart. I want a battle too, Rider’s not the only S+ ranker here.”

“I can only battle one person at once, ‘Loha.” you glance over at your team, namely Leo, who definitely looks like he’s about to cause a scene if you don’t say what’s on his mind, “It’ll happen.”

“I want to see some of your strategies up close as well.” Army pitches in, not wanting to miss any chances to gain more information. Skull and Tasha seem to be staring each other down, almost like they’re challenging each other. Mask doesn’t care too much about battling you in turf, preferring gaming, but he’s no longer focused on his anime. He can’t be left out now.

“Man, we’re almost better off just battling the S4 altogether.” You mumble to yourself, weighing out your options.

“Huh? They’re a team?!” Leo exclaims, surprised at what you just so calmly said.

“Dude? I thought you were like, the biggest Aloha fan ever. How did you not know this.”

Everyone seems shocked that you knew that they were a team, even them. What, was it not obvious? Did they not fight as a team- carp. That’s later in the manga. Damn it, now you’ve gotta make up an excuse.

“They’re the strongest players in the area, and you expect them to not make a team?” You look over at the S4, pretending to not know this information, “You guys are a team, right?”

Aloha offers you a nod,

“Strongest in town, baby!”

Yeah, you’re not too sure about that last part. They’re about to meet their match. Anyways.

“The S4’s a team?!”

An unknown voice joins the chat, and you’re the first to see who it is. Goggles. 

‘Oh, that’s where we are in the manga.’

You see how Specs and Headphones get visibly nervous seeing the S4, but then they spot you. You offer them a wave and smile, glad to see them again. Specs quickly looks away, fixing his glasses, and headphones shyly waves back.

“Goggles, quit getting distracted!” Specs pushes his glasses back in place and pulls out a notepad, “We’re about to start our strategy meeting!”

Army offers his ‘advice’, giving the blue team some curry-making tips. He must have gotten those from the book he was reading back at the library. Aloha looks back at you and winks, then gives the blue team his tips. “Complementing their strong points~” You sigh and smile, it seems you’re not changing the core story that much. Mask doesn’t give them any info, to be expected of him. Skull tells them to not bother him, then reaches for his bandanna. You chuckle, knowing how excited they must be to see his face, but it’s not gonna happen. 

Actually, how does he eat that Sundae so quickly? You pay attention to him, wanting to see this up close. How does he not get a brain freeze after that? He must be used to it. Rider copies him and you wonder if maybe he has a sweet tooth too. The blue team focuses on you, probably expecting some kind of tip. There’s not much to offer, they’re doing everything right.

“No need for any tips, you’ve already got main character powers.” You mutter to yourself, just loud enough for Mask to catch it and quietly chuckle.

The bunch of players end up talking and hanging out. You end up buying everyone some ice cream sundaes, knowing you’ve got much more than enough money to spare. This will also help out Crusty Sean with his shop, so there’s no harm.

“It’s time to go.”

Tasha stands up out of her seat, apologizing for having to leave. You didn’t think you had any timings, so you’re wondering why they’re leaving all of a sudden. Your teammates start walking in the direction of Deca Tower, and now you’re really confused.

“What’s going on here?”

“Oh? Did we forget to tell you? We’re doing our preliminary battle for the Square King’s tourney.”

[PART 4] Sharing your worries to the Wizard [M4A] [Fantasy] [Neko Listener] [Comforting] [Reassurance for your body] [You finally made the wizard blush too]

Author notes: Part 4 is out! With this, the second narrative arc is starting: fluff increase, their bond gets deeper… And we get to know more about them! As always, it is okay to monetize with the script, and feel free to make small edits to the scripts to make things sound better, or if you want you can change sfx and such!

If you haven’t read the other parts, I’ll leave you the link below <3

Hope you will enjoy!

Summary: It’s been a month since the Wizard found you, you are now living together! In exchange for food and hospitality, you started working for him. In the meantime, the Wizard is still looking for a way to reverse the curse you have. One day, you went out together to buy some things you need at home, but something makes you uncomfortable. Keeping quiet, you wait for the sun to set to open up.

____________

[Action/things happening] *Moods* Thinking

*Concentrated* So… we got fruits, we got a new set of glass bulb for the potions… Some herbs… What was the last thing we needed?

Oh, yeah, you’re right! I finished my ink. I’m glad your memory works better than mine. Now that I think about it, I… need to buy another book. I know it’s been a while… and we still have yet to do some real progress, but I haven’t forgotten about your curse.

*Frustrated* I know you’re in no rush, I know, but still… It’s frustrating not being able to do anything about it. I mean, I’m a wizard, I’m supposed to know how magical things works, and yet… here I am, with no clue on how to help you.

*Gentle, happy* Aw, you will wait no matter how long it will take? Thank you, kitty. It’s heartwarming to hear you say that. I’ll do my best to find a solution as quickly as possible.

[Shivering]

*Caring* It’s… so cold today, huh? The wind keeps blowing… How is it in those clothes? It’s been a while since we went out together, and the weather keeps getting colder, are you alright? Are they warm enough?

I’m glad. I wouldn’t want you to freeze out here. Oh, careful!

[Strong wind blowing]

Here, I got you! That was close, the wind is really strong today. Oh, and your hoodie too… back in place. Are you okay? ...Good. Hm? Hey, what’s that expression?

What do you mean “it’s nothing”? It’s true that it’s not much since we met, but I think I know you well enough to see that it’s not “nothing”. Uhm… are you sure the clothes are warm enough?

Okay, so… what’s bothering you? You know you can tell me anything.

*Confused* You… just want to go home? I mean, if that’s what you want… we don’t often get the chance to come here in the village, so I thought you could have enjoyed today’s errands. Are you tired? Or maybe the things you’re carrying are too heavy for you?

Okay, well… you only want to go back?

*Calm* All right then… okay, let’s do this. Why don’t you go back with the glass bulbs? I need to start the base mix for a few potions, and I could really use some help. You know… water, silver root… the usual. In the meantime, I’ll get the ink and the book, okay?

Great! I’ll see you later then. Hold tightly to the gem as soon as you get home, so I’m sure you got there safely, all right? Perfect. Be careful on your way back, see you later!

[Footsteps]

*Concentrated* Okay, so… let’s get these things. If I have to be honest… doing errands on my own is kind of boring. It feels lonely without them. There should be a bookshop over there, maybe they have the manual I need…

[Time skip]

[Bubble sounds, door opening and closing]

Kitty, I’m home! I’m so sorry it took so long… *Slightly sad* The ink was the easiest thing to retrieve in that bookshop. As for the book… unfortunately, there was nothing that could be of any help. We quickly tried to go through each one of the magic manual, but… nothing. *Hopeful* Still, I won’t lose hope. And neither you should! I’m sure we will find a way to reverse the curse.

Hm? Why are you so quiet?

*Surprised, happy* Oh, you prepared the base? And you also prepared the poison potions? And you made dinner? Aw, thank you kitty, you’ve helped a lot. You did even more than I could have expected! Listen… why don’t you go relax upstairs? I’ll finish writing a few things and I’ll come too, so we can eat together.

They seem a little bit… off. I wonder why… They looked fine until we parted ways at the village. Did something happen? Or maybe I did something wrong? Hm… I wish they would just tell me. It’s clear that something’s bothering them… but what could it be?

[sound of pen writing, paper…]

*Concentrated* Hm… this one for tomorrow, that old lady needs a healing potion, the other guy a chanted amulet… And done. With this I’ll be able to follow the schedule. Now, let’s just end the day.

[Sound of door being locked]

The store is closed for today, everything is ready for tomorrow. I’ll just go upstairs and get some rest. I wonder… if they’ll tell me what’s going on in their mind now.

[Footsteps]

*Gentle* I’m here, kitty. Oh, you’re watching out the window?

*Calm* You’re right, there’s the full moon tonight. That means… it’s been a month already, huh? Since… you started living here. Time sure flies when you have fun.

*Jokingly, happy* I’m serious! Since you started working here, things have been so much easier. I can’t believe I’ve been sleeping every night in the past few weeks, I can’t even remember the last time I had such a regular sleep schedule *Chuckle*. *Calm, gentle* And… I hope you are having a better time here than the one you had before.

Oh, you do? That’s a relief, kitty.

Well, of course! Did you think I would have let you sleep on the floor or something? Or that I would have forever given up my bed? I told you I would have found a way to create a space for you too, so you could have felt… at home. Who cares if my room has half the space it had before, luckily there was enough room for the both of us! And… thanks to this wooden sliding door, now we both have our privacy.

No, I’m not “too kind”, that’s the least I can do for you. You are still helping here every day, that’s only fair. And, by the way, thanks for the help today at the village. I… enjoyed going there with you. *Slightly shy, just a hint of insecurity* Maybe, next time, why don’t we go in that cafè we saw today? Unfortunately we didn’t have the time today, but… it’s a pity to always think about work. So, yeah... what do you think?

Uhm, you don’t have to answer right away, kitty. If you want to think about it, it’s fine, of course, but… is there a problem? With… going out, I mean.

*Confused* It’s not about that? Then, what is it about?

Huh? Well, I thought that there was something bothering you, and I can clearly see it now from your face but… *Jokingly* reading people’s mind it’s not a superpower wizards have. Though there are potions that can help with that.

Aw, don’t give me that look *chukle*, I’m not going to use these vile ways to know what’s in that brain of yours. *Calm* Seriously, though, you know you can tell me anything, and that if you want to keep some things for yourself, I’m not going to force you to open up. Okay?

*Gentle* Good. So… do you want to talk about it?

Oh? Uhm, yes, I can turn around if you want. Why?

*Confused* What… what’s the problem in looking at you?

Okay, okay, fine, I’ll just do that. Here, I’m turning my back to you. So what’s happening now?

[small pause]

*Confused* Kitty?

[Small pause]

*Even more confused* Uhm…

[Small pause, turning around again]

What are you… *Surprised and embarrassed* Woah, Sorry! It’s not like I wanted to peek, I just… I mean, you weren’t saying a word… I swear I didn’t see anything! *Confused*...Wait, did you just… shifted to your cat form and back to human again? Why?

Oh, I see… you wanted to try shifting to a fully human form, and it didn’t work? But… I mean, isn’t that normal? The curse is not lifted yet, and…

*Gentle* Aw, Hey, hey… come here. Don’t make that face. We’re going to find a solution, I told you we would. It’s a promise, kitty. I’m sorry I didn’t make any progress up until now, but… I’m sure we’ll find a way. Is that… what’s bothering you?

[Small pause]

*Comprehensive* Oh, So this is how you truly feel, huh? You’re scared to go outside, you feel vulnerable out there now and… this is the only place you feel safe. Yeah, I bet… the wind didn’t help, it exposed your cat ears for a brief moment. Were you afraid that someone could have seen you?

Well, yes, you are right. It’s not that common for a human to have some animal features. Not even uncommon, actually, just… close to zero. Well, personally, with all of the magical stuff I’ve seen, a human with feline features is still pretty “normal” to me. But it’s true, maybe for standard people would be strange something like this. *Worried of being misunderstood* I- I’m not saying you are strange, let’s be clear on this. Even because we both know you are a human, after all, and it’s not a curse that will make you “strange”.

*Confused, slightly angry* Huh?! What- what are you saying?! Sure, curses sucks and all, but you’re not disgusting! Why would you say that?!

*Frustrated* Yes, I am looking at you and there’s nothing “disgusting” about you! I mean… who cares if you have cat ears? Who cares if you have a tail? Fangs? Claws? Because I sure don’t! You are beautiful, even if you’re not fully human.

*More gentle now* Yes, there are. There are so many things about you that are lovely and make you unique, and don’t you dare say the opposite, because that’s not the truth.

Is… is that so? Why didn’t you tell me before?

If… this can reassure you, there was nothing about that in the manual. Even though you might feel like sometimes you’re losing sight of your humanity, until someone ultimate the curse, you will be both cat and human. You won’t lose your humanity by staying like this, don’t worry. What you feel could be just the animal instincts kicking in from time to time, because… after all, you’re still cursed. Half cursed, to be fair. And… I bet it’s hard to live with these feelings, but… okay, listen, *Determined* I’ll work harder on this. I don’t want you to feel this way anymore. If I can’t find a way to lift the curse for now, I’ll study a potion, a chanted amulet or something that will help you suppress the feline instinct.

No, no, it’s fine, but you should have told me, kitty. I know you didn’t want to be a burden but… time is passing and it must be frustrating. I… don’t want you to feel this way. Until then, though… I just want you to know, that I don’t care if your appearance is not fully human. You are wonderful on the inside and gorgeous on the outside.

*Gentle* I know, you may feel insecure, scared even, but trust me, that even though your body has some animal traits, you are much more human than lots of people out there. You’re not the “monster” here. So, stop saying these things to yourself, kitty. *More annoyed, not at the speaker but at the other wizard* The one who’s a monster, disgusting, hideous and a filthy creature is the one who cursed you, not yourself. And if I ever cross path with him, I’ll make sure to let him know how much of a piece of trash he is.

*Gentle again* Hey, look at me. I’m serious. Your tail is soft, your ears are cute. Just like your fangs. Your sight in the dark has improved, your movements can be much more furtive. You can purr too, isn’t that relaxing for you too? Your senses are much more sharper. I know you would much rather be a human, but until we find a way to lift your curse, focus on this. Focus on the bright side of this shitty situation that bastard put you in: you gained the best from both sides.

*Confused* What, you don’t agree that’s the bright side? And what is it then?

*Surprised, happy and a little bit embarrassed* Wha--- I, uhm, didn’t expect that… No, I’m not blushing! [pause] *Flustered* No, I’m not. [pause] *Even more flustered* No, I’m--- listen, are you trying to get your revenge here for all the times you blushed? But… *Happy, calm* I really didn’t think you would have said that. I didn’t think… meeting me was the bright side. Your words filled my heart with joy, kitty. Thank you.

*Chukle* See? That’s what happens when you try to make other people blush. I saw your red cheeks, don’t try to hide them.

No, I’m immune to this. I only, uh, blushed a little bit because I was taken by surprise there. *Chukle*

[small pause]

*Gentle* Are you feeling… a little bit better now?

I’m glad. *Confused* ...Oh? You accept? Wait, what do you accept?

The invite…? *Surprised happy* Oooh! You mean, going to the cafè? So… you want to come after all? Aw, I’m so happy! *Excited* Then… how about next week? There should be a limited edition for both a new coffee and tea flavor, and I’m really curious to try them. And maybe, on the way back, we can also stop to buy something that’s not work-related, you know? Unless, of course, you want to go home.

Hm *The “hm” as a chuckle tone*, that makes me happy. I mean… *Relieved, calm* I’m glad that you won’t let your worries to hold you back. I… like that about you. It’s fine if sometimes you feel overwhelmed, and you can always talk to me when it happens, but… see? This strength you have, to face what worries you, I think… it’s really admirable.

Aw, you’re welcome kit-

[soft sound of a sudden hug]

...Huh? *Soft, tender chuckle* *Surprised, happy, soft tone* I think… this is the first time you hug me. I didn’t expect that.

Oh, no, it’s fine, of course. Why wouldn’t it be? Here… let me hold you too. You deserve a hug too.

[Hair stroking for a few seconds, in silence]

[Purring sound]

Aww, they’re purring too… I’m glad they feel better and relaxed now. How adorable they are…

[small pause]

*slightly concerned* Oh, sorry! I didn’t mean to touch your ears. Yeah, I bet they’re delicate. *Gentle* You… don’t mind? You mean it, or you’re just being kind? *Chukle* But… you hair is really soft, just like your tail. And… Kitty, promise me you’ll never say those horrible things to yourself ever again. Okay?

Good… Now, do you want to have dinner? Because, I can smell something delicious from the kitchen and I’m really curious about what’s in there. *Happy, excited* Aww, you made my favorite? Thank you, kitty!

Well then, let’s go eat something. It’s not the first time you made something, so I’m sure it will be tasty as heaven. And once again, thank you for taking care of it. I’ll make sure to repay you the favor tomorrow, by preparing your favorite one. Come on now, let’s go.

The moment they suddenly hugged me… I think my heart stopped for a moment. If I have to be honest...I wish it had lasted longer. It’s been a while since I last felt this way about someone, and… it’s not because I’ve been alone for a while before meeting them, I’m pretty sure. There’s… something about them. This feeling... I slightly felt it when we first met, and it keeps growing the more I get to know them. And now, I only wish to have the chance to hold them again. Just… for a little while.

Hello my dearies~! Today will be my last post for this year of 2023! (I live in Brazil, so the new year is a little bit more later than in other countries haha)

And to finish the year with a golden key, i decided to post my mini fic of why Oliver (my Oc) decided to give Phantasmo (Fluffpillow’s Oc) a present! 🎁

Hope y’all like it! ;D

“But why did you do it…?”

Oliver: ”…wait, so you’re telling me Phantasmo never got a present from ANYONE…?”

T-oby who was currently in the row of the Walmart talking with Oliver: ”uh, yeah…? Well, of course, aside from me and Viola… Phantasmo never got presents from anyone else. But, given his reputation with the townsfolk and also his “hatred” for Christmas… it… isn’t that surprising…”

Oliver: ”well then… i’ll make something really nice and special for him!”

T-oby with a worried smile: ”uhm, are you REALLY sure about that…? I mean, not really wanting to demotivate you but… you know he can easily kidnap you and torture you and-“

Oliver with a determined smile: “Y-yes… i know that but… there’s also this small possibility of him liking my present! :D”

T-oby: “Alright then: you do you but just so you know that if anything happens to you, I won’t be able to help you, got that? I can’t really go against my dad’s orders…”

Oliver giving T-oby a thumbs up while smiling: “Alright! I know, I know. Now if you excuse me, i have a VERY SPECIAL present to give to a certain ghost! See you later T-oby!”

T-oby giving Oliver a small smile: “See you later! Can’t wait to see what you’re gonna do for my dad!”

One knitting session later…

Oliver seeing Phantasmo all alone in a cemetery: *whispering with themselves* “Alright Oliver, you can do t-this!”

*Oliver approaches Phantasmo nervously*

Oliver visibly shaking with excitement and fear: “H-hi… m-m-mister Phantasmo…?”

Phantasmo giving Oliver a glare: “Hmm?”

Oliver slowly approaching the present towards Phantasmo: “Uhh, p-please…? A-accept m-my present…? Pretty p-please…?”

Phantasmo looking at Oliver with suspicion and talking down on them with contempt: “And who may you be…?”

Oliver scratching the back of their head nervously: “O-oh…! S-sorry…! I haven’t introduced myself: the name is Oliver and… i am a big fan of yours… hehe…”

Phantasmo: “Oh~? Really now? How… “nice”. Say: why on earth are you giving ME a… present?” *Phantasmo uses his ghost tail to put some distance between him and Oliver*

Oliver: “Uhhm… because i think everyone deserves a little bit of happiness…? And also because i… uhm…” *Oliver starts avoiding Phantasmo’s eye contact and starts blushing*

Phantasmo looks at Oliver confused for a second and then, realized what Oliver wanted to say. He then smirked smugly at them and used his ghost tail to bring Oliver closer to him: “Well, well, well~ who would have thought~? You like me like… that. Don’t you~? Hmm~?”

Oliver who became a blushing mess: “i… i…”

Phantasmo shushing Oliver: “Ah, ah, ah~ don’t be shy now, here, let’s take a look at what you did for me, shall we~?”

*Phantasmo takes the present from Oliver and opens it*

Phantasmo looking curiously at the pink sweater that Oliver made for him: “Ooohh~! What a nice color! And it has a faint smell of coffee to it~ say: who told you that i liked these two things? Oh, oh, let me guess: T-oby, right? Did i guessed it right~?”

Oliver sweating nervously: “Y-yes… s-sir… w-well, at least he told me that you like coffee scent… the color i guessed because your eyes are pink s-so… y-yeah… hahaha…”

*Phantasmo then started chuckling mischievously… until he grabbed Oliver’s face violently while grinning angrily at them*

Phantasmo: “Did you seriously thought that i… liked your pathetic present~?”

Oliver: “Well i-“

Phantasmo: “WELL, let ME answer you that: no, I didn’t like your stupid present! I don’t care, you hear that?, I. DON’T. CARE. About Y O U. I am a murderous, deranged and psychotic man! Do you, an annoying little lad, think i would “magically” turn into a nice guy just because you were nice to me~? HA! Please, don’t make laugh~”

*Phantasmo then tossed the gift box very far away and dropped Oliver into the ground. While still holding the sweater into his hands and grinning maniacally*

Phantasmo: “Well, i hope this was… memorable for you, because to me, honestly: i will purposely forget you~ now, bye~ and oh, don’t bother trying to annoy me again, next time i see you, i will turn you into one of my experiments~”

*Phantasmo then fades away from Oliver’s view. Leaving them all alone in the cemetery… Oliver sighs sadly, readjust their glasses and gets up to leave the cemetery*

Meanwhile at the doctor’s mansion…

T-oby: “Ohhh! What’s that dad? Did Oliver gave you a sweater? Nice! And ohoho! Guess he guessed right your favorite color too! Did you thanked them?”

Phantasmo passing through T-oby with a neutral expression while holding the present that Oliver gave him: “. . .No.”

T-oby gasping: “Dad! You can’t be rude to the ONLY person who is nice to YOU! That’s it! You’re going to thank them on the new year!”

Phantasmo looking at T-oby with a mocking smile: “Really now~? And HOW do YOU plan on making me~?”

T-oby smirking triumphantly: “You do know that, without ME, you can’t work on ANYTHING… right?”

Phantasmo: “. . .I hate you. . .”

After the new year…

*Oliver listens a knock on their door and goes to open it*

Oliver: “Hello, how may i help you…?”

*Phantasmo was standing at their doorstep, with the pink sweater on and a letter on his floating hands*

Phantasmo: “Ahem… just… take it…”

*Oliver then grabbed the letter and opened it to read it*

Oliver reading the letter out loud: “My neighbor Oliver-“

*Phantasmo shushing Oliver and telling them to not read the letter out loud*

Oliver apologizing and returning to read the letter, but this time, much quieter: “My neighbor Oliver, have you know that i didn’t exactly hated your present… but don’t get any funny ideas from my approval of your present: i simply didn’t hated it. Sincerely, Dr. Phantasmo…”

Phantasmo starting to blush lightly: “T-that’s it… don’t expect more than this…”

Oliver smiling warmly at Phantasmo: “Would you like to stay a little bit longer for some coffee?”

Phantasmo scratching the back of his head and pulling his collar shyly: “Y-yes… i… that would be… lovely.”

[a-little-birdie]

Coming out as trans.

Gonna do my best to keep this as neutral as possible!! If you want me to write a specific gender or the reader coming out as a certain sexuality lemme know!!

Tw. None really. The reader is a little nervous which is understandable.

It was a rainy night and your parents were out so you wound up hanging out in the sewers with the gang. You were all sitting in a circle laughing playing some simple party games, like two truths and one lie. You all knew what each others boundaries are and trusted each other not to cross them. So everything was always in lighthearted fun.

“Okay, okay, my turn, uhmmmm,” Mikey tapped a finger on his chin as he looked up at the ceiling thoughtfully. “Okay! I have never tried abstract art, I completed a lazar flip first try, and I have been training in the secret art of Mario Kart since I was seven.” He smiles at everyone, confident he’s going to win the round.

Leo scoffs. “Lazar flip obviously. That’s the hardest trick to do! No one can get it first try.” He waves his hand around nonchalantly before fishing around in the potato chip bowl.

Mikey shakes his head. “Nope! That’s a truth, Donnie was there for it!”

He points at his older brother who looks up from his screen at the mention of his name. “Hm? Oh, yes. I can confirm, Micheal got it first try.”

Leo looks at Mikey in astonishment and Raph hums. “Is it abstract art?” Mikey claps his hands and nods enthusiastically.

“Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ladies and gentlemen! We have a winner!!”

“Really? I thought you’ve tried every single art style out there?”

Mikey shakes his head. “Nope! I just don’t really get it, it doesn’t really speak to me like most art does.” He shrugs his shoulders, a lopsided grin on his face as he turns to you. “Your turn!” You blink on surprise and hug the pillow in your lap closer.

“Oh, uhm. Okay. Lets see. I love roasted anchovies and bananas on pizza.” You in fact hate it and everyone knows that. You tried it once after being triple Mad Dog dared and couldn’t finish a single bite, spitting it out immediately. “Splinters hugs are the best and…” you hesitate a second, nervous about what you were going to say next. Some small voice asked a whole bunch of ‘what if’s’ even when you know the answers to them. They won’t turn you away. “And I’m trans.” You finish your sentence and press your mouth into a thin line, waiting for their reaction.

They all look at you in surprise. Donnie had put down his screen, Leo stopped mid chew. They were all caught off guard. Raph was the first to break the silence. “Okay, cool! Have you figured out a new name or do you not want one?”

You shake your head. “I haven’t figured one out yet.” Everyone immediately lights up.

“Ooooo! Can we help? Please??” April asks her hands clasped together tightly, a large smile on her face.

“Sure, I’d appreciate it!” The chaos and laughter is back, everyone is spitballing names, cracking jokes, it’s great. You all continue talking late into the night. Even though you already knew they’d accept you, it’s really nice to hear it, to hear the support.

You fall asleep with a smile on your face, feeling safe. You have their backs, and they have yours. You couldn’t ever want for a better group of friends, because the one you have now is the best around.

Welcome to Nowhere: Friends?— Pt.1

The sun has decided to set— but not all the way. For what feels like days, the bright, green globe has sat on the horizon, sitting perfectly still. You find this to be rather odd— though Emerson disagrees. When you asked them about it earlier, all they said was: “Yeah, it does that.” 

Now that you think about it, the sun has always behaved rather strangely— at least, in your opinion. Oftentimes, you’ll never see it set. It will just be there, and then it won’t. Night and day don’t seem to exist on a set schedule either. Sometimes it’s day, and other times it’s night. There’s been a few times where you’ve blinked and it’s gone from night to day— or vice versa. It’s all rather random, not to mention confusing. 

Because of all this nonsense, it’s become impossible to tell just how long you’ve been here. Somehow, it feels like you’ve both been here for years and years, yet also as though only a few minutes have passed. It’s eerie. You might even consider it wrong, in a way. 

But Emerson doesn’t seem to think so. When you brought it up to him earlier, he seemed to have no idea what you were talking about. You can only assume that if they aren’t worried, then you have no reason to be. After all, they know a lot more about existing than you do. You might find the sun’s nonexistent pattern to be odd, but frankly, you have no idea what should be odd. Maybe you should stop thinking about this; it’s making your head hurt. 

Anyway, you think you might be starting to get to know Emerson a bit better. Well, you can tell when they’re smiling now, at the very least. They also have a habit of humming under their breath when they're in a good mood. Still, it's pretty hard to tell what he’s thinking most of the time. 

At the current moment, he’s off wandering the fields somewhere while you anxiously wait for the sun to finally finish setting. 

After what feels like an eternity, Emerson returns, but the sun has not moved. 

“Hello,” they say as they walk up toward the jungle gym. 

You don’t answer. 

“Hello?”

“Yes?” You ask, briefly glancing at him.

“Uhm— what are you doing?”

“I’m waiting for the sun to set,” you answer, turning your gaze back to the sky.  Your eyes are starting to hurt. 

“... Right. Uhm— can I ask why though?”

“Because eventually it will.”

“You sure do love being mysterious, don’t you?”

You turn back around, looking down at them again. “Me, mysterious?”

Emerson grabs one of the bars at the bottom of the jungle gym, beginning to climb up. “Yeah, mysterious.”

“Explain.”

“What do you mean, explain?” If you were to guess, you would say that he looks… amused at the moment.

 “You show up out of nowhere, and you don’t know anything about who you are. You can also speak to worms and have decided to wait until the sun sets because ‘it eventually has to.’ Extremely mysterious.”

You feel yourself go stiff, and your heart beats faster in your chest. Nowhere. It’s a seemingly meaningless word, and yet…

“Emerson, what’s that word? Why is it like that?”

“Like… what? Also, what word?” A new expression— one you haven’t learned to recognize yet— crosses their face.

“Nowhere.”

“... What about it?” He’s stopped climbing now. They stare up at you,  his expression one of confusion— or maybe concern. “It’s just a word. What do you mean by ‘why is it like that?’” There are creases by the bases of their antennae, but they aren’t the same as the happy creases. These wrinkles are ones of worry. 

“I… I don’t know. It’s familiar, but in an odd sort of way”

Emerson stares at you for another moment before letting out a long sigh and continuing their climb, leaving behind a bit of goo wherever they touch. “Do you… see what I… mean about you being mysterious?” They sound a little out of breath. 

“No, not really.”

“Wow… okay,” they wheeze as they reach the top.

 “Are you out of breath from climbing up here?” You take his hand and help him to sit next to you.

“Oh,” they huff, flopping on their back. You imagine laying on the metal bars can’t be too comfortable— but they don’t seem to mind. “Don’t judge me. This thing is ridiculously tall for a jungle gym. I also… stick to things.”

“Oh. I wasn’t judging you.”

“... That’s good. Uhm… Anyways, are you feeling alright?”

“Yes?” You say, taking your turn to be confused. “Why do you ask?”

“I just wanted to check. You always act strange but you’ve been… I don’t know, slightly stranger than usual?”

“I’ve always been strange?”

He sits back up, looking slightly alarmed. “Yes— but not like, in a bad way. Not at all.”

“Oh.”

“Seriously, I promise I’m not trying to insult you or anything. You’re neat!”

“Neat?”

“Yes?”

“Huh.”

“Sorry, am I making things weird? I didn’t mean to—”

“You’re fine…”

“Oh, good.” They stretch a little, still looking… anxious, you suppose. “So… friends?”

“Fr… what?”

company

Tears have been nonstop and it’s made Naoh only all the more flustered and frustrated with himself for how dare he express the pain he feels.. He deserves to have it bottled away, to never express what he feels or has been through, to simply take it as he’d taken Luca’s gesture of promise.

He’d wanted that. He wants this, too.

In the end, it circles back to selfishness. Greed. Naoh wants things to be normal and well again, he wants to just have these mistakes pass and gone.

But that won’t happen. No.. what he’d done, it’s going to leave an emotional scar if not some sort of physical one which will deem to be a reminder of what he’s ruined. Trust and not just with him, but Naoh knows that the things he and Luca did, they will hit Kham deep if they haven’t already. After everything he’s been through, too..

To think that he trusts him with this errand even now.. Naoh almost hates how Kham just didn’t block him for he doesn’t deserve to be given this sort of responsibility..

Naoh tries to leave the company home in silence and to himself but he can’t help the tears that burst forth over the very thought of Kham and his kindness..

Such pathetic cries..

And one can’t help but to notice them..

“Naoh, what’s wrong?” A soft tone with genuine concern and yet the voice startles Naoh to hop midstep and give out a terrified trill as he whips around to see..

None other than Menyou! Gentle worry expressed in a face that usually appears lifeless in terms of expression, Naoh is shocked to be not only caught in his sobs but cared about enough to be approached.

Well, maybe care isn’t the word Naoh feels applies to this but.. little does he know that the mixed auri cares quite a bit.

“Oh, Menyou! You starrrtled me!” sniffles and a struggling throat as he has been crying.. he still bares the bite from Luca when things had been finished and it still stings as if it were freshly left.. Naoh tries to swallow down his sobs, bringing a hand up to his chest to clutch at his rapidly beating heart.

“I’m apologize, I hadn’t meant to sneak up on you.” Menyou may express his concern by voice and face but he stays at a it of a distance, uncertain of how Naoh would feel of his presence. The two of them still have yet to really talk. “But you’re crying..”

A breathy, tear bursting giggle. “Pfft.. hehe yeah, I am..” He then drops his clutch to his chest and begins to wipe away at his tears, laughing as he tries to stop himself from the waterworks. “Don’t worrrry about it, though..”

“But I am.” Menyou then takes a single step forward, his expression only knitting all the more concern.. “It.. is bold of me, I know, but.. you seem like you could use a talk with someone.”

“Ohh, always, Menyou.” Then a wave of the hand in refusal. “but not now, rrrreally.. I need to get going, errrands to run..”

there is some solace in his ceaseless purrs, at least.. “Can I come with you?” Somehow, Menyou finds bravery in it as well..

A slow blink of surprise. “W-what? They’rrre.. they’rrre just errands, I’m not doing anything fun—”

“I’m not looking for fun, I’m looking to give you company in time of need.” a single breath of confidence, Menyou feels his tail lash a little out of the slight embarrassment he feels to be so.. direct.

But.. it clearly seems to do something for Naoh’s tears settle with a few more blinks and.. he sighs.. “I.. I rrrreally don’t deserve that rrright now..”

“It will be difficult to get what you need done if you’re so overwhelmed, don’t you think?” Menyou takes a couple more steps.. and Naoh doesn’t cower away as he has in the past.. he simply allows him to come near.. accepting his presence, for once ignoring the chill that comes with him.

“Why do you carrre..”

“I uhm..” Menyou shrugs, caught with a question he has no answer for for he can’t explain the depths of why he cares, it makes no sense to him beyond him being the vessel for Ramm.. but it certainly goes past that, especially now.. “I honestly don’t know..”

This.. brings out a giggle from the keeper, a sound that would absolutely have Menyou’s heart racing if it were actually to beat. “That’s good enough forrr me, honestly!”

Wanderer of The Stars

Gommene Gommene - Kikuo

“Xingqiu, I’m home!”

After opening the door and taking off her shoes, she was met with the sight of her younger brother staring at her from the living room. Immediately there was an uneasiness in the air.

She shook her head and let out a soft sigh. Was this going to be an intervention? She hoped not. Though, to be honest she couldn’t really blame him for being upset. Especially if it was for what she thought it was.

She soon found herself a spot on the couch to sit on, keeping eye contact with the other out of pure respect.

“So.. what’s the matter?”

The greenette turned his head to the side in a frustrated manner, breaking the eye contact they’d once been holding. He crossed his arms, eyes narrowing as he stared at the wall beside him.

“How come you haven’t been home lately? I know we’re out on a mission but you’re still supposed to take care of me!” He frowned, “Have you been forgetting about me?”

He bit his lip, and before Mingxia could begin speaking he held up his hand to stop her.

“Diana and I saw you hanging out with some guy instead of practicing your duties like you said you would be that day! It’s not fair! You get on me for slacking off but you do the same thing!”

The oni gave her full attention as he spoke, a frown slowly forming on her lips the further he went on and on. Once he had finally finished she sighed, hands on her lap, back straightened out. It’s best to give your full attention to people when they speak to you, especially with body language.

“Xingqiu, please listen very closely.” She paused, “That boy was a demon in disguise. But.. he wasn't a threatening one who was in need of exercising. I put a seal on his power and gave him limits, I was finding him a h-“

“Why would you spare a demon?! They’re evil!..”

“Not all of them are! They can’t control their race Xingqi-!”

“They’re all born from the same flames of evil! You can’t trust demons! Why would you do that?!”

“..I was a demon.”

His hands fell to his sides upon hearing the other’s words. His own older sister.. a demon? No.. she couldn’t be! He.. he wasn’t a demon. How could she be one?

Would Lady Nephele really make such an error? Putting the divine being into a demon?

“No!.. No I d-dont.. I dont believe it! I won’t believe it!”

“Xingqiu-“

“Just go away!”

“O-Okay..”

And with this, she soon faded away into the shadows.

—•—

Sitting at the bus stop, he felt a sick feeling wash over him. Was he too harsh?.. Did he make her feel bad?.. Gosh, his head hurt. But the more quiet he wished for it to be, the more thoughts and questions swarmed it.

He set his hand on the diamond-cut bench he was sat upon, fingers dangling through the holes as he stared into space.

“I.. maybe I.. should apologize..”

A slim figure slipped out from the shadows from behind the bus stop. No.4, out and about to spread pure chaos. And it seemed this was a perfect place to start.

“No.7? You look down, is something on your mind?” Ciel inquired whilst slipping onto the bench by his side, “Sorry, did I scare you?”

“Wha-!”

*Xingqiu jumped a bit at the sudden appearence of the other Oni, eyes widening ever so slightly. Soon though he calmed down realizing just who it was.*

“H-Hi Mr. Ciel!.. uhm.. no it’s fine, I-I wasnt scaareeddd!.. Haha..” He sheepishly laughed, “Well.. okay maybe I was. Only a lil though.”

He sighed, gaze going from Ciel back to the ground.

“I dunno.. I got in a fight with my older sis.. I think I made her sad..”

“No need to be so formal! We’re all friends here, aren’t we?” *He hummed,* “Well, that’s alright. Mingxia oughta’ teach you the basics on aura detection here soon though.”

He rested his hand on his knee, chin on his hand as he watched the younger boy. He quirked a brow to the other’s comment on this.. fight, with his sister.

This could be the exact entrance he was looking for.

“A fight, huh?” He held out a hand, “How about this? We can buy her some flowers and a card to apologize, and give it to her when she gets home from wherever she is.”

And like that, everything was beginning to fall into place like dominoes.

—-•—-

As she lay staring at the ceiling, she felt her hands clamp up into fists. Her brows furrowed, legs crossed over one another. Maybe it was her own fault- that she was in this situation.

That instead of being a human choice, she was a salvaged demon. Yet at the same time, most oni were. Only a select few were human picks.

Still, maybe she could have broken it to him better. Maybe she should have told him when he was older.. maybe she just reacted too quickly during the heat of the moment. Spilled something she shouldn't have.

The light reflecting back in her eyes slowly disappeared as she closed them, slipping into a sorrowful slumber in the moment. When the world was the most quiet, a good nap could never hurt anyone.

—•—

Upon slowly opening the door to their small apartment he noticed the sleeping figure of his sister on the couch. She was home early.. was she waiting for him?

That pit in his stomach from before seemed to slowly spread to his chest, though after being shot a reassuring look from Ciel he nodded his head.

In one hand the oni held a bouquet, the other was shoved in his pocket. He approached his sister quietly, but tensed up a little once he noticed her stirring. Of course she’d be awoken, she was always good at sensing other’s presences.

“Uhm.. Mingxia?”

Mingxia shot up almost instantly hearing her name, eyes wide. Seeing as it was only Xingqiu and Ciel though, she calmed down rather quickly. Her gaze fixed solely on her brother.

“..Yes, brother?” She rubbed at her eyes with the knuckle of her hand, “Sorry.. I fell asleep waiting.”

“You were waiting for me?”

He bit his lip regretfully, though shook off the feeling. Now was his time to make up for the stupid argument they had! Not feel bad over even more.

“Mingxia, I’m.. really sorry. I got you your favorites..” He handed her the bouquet of mountain lilies, “I realize I was really mean.. and I talked to Diana.. she said it’s normal for Oni and I- I’m sorry..”

He frowned, looking away.

What a touching sentiment. As she took the flowers she couldn’t help but smile at the small boy. She set the bouquet aside and leaned forward to bring up a hand to his head.

“Please don’t fret. I understand completely. In times like these many things can sway your opinions on certain groups, especially with harmful retorect around them. You’re right, lots of demons are evil, but there is a small majority which can be trusted given the right boundaries.”

“I know.. I’m sorry.”

He felt embarrassment rise to his cheeks, the heat causing tears to form. Without hesitation he leaned forward and hugged onto his older sister, sniffling as he did so.

“I’m sorry!.. I-I’m so sorry!..”

The sudden affection surprised her a little, but she soon returned the hug with her own warm embrace. She ran her fingers through his hair, eyes shutting.

“There there.. it’s all going to be alright.” Her tone was much softer than before, “Let it all out.”

What a touching reunion. Though, it was quickly becoming a bore to him. What drabble. Some demons better than others? To hell with that. At the end of the day, almost everyone in this muddy universe was just in his way. Pests which needed to be exposed of. Well.. aside from his beautiful Maeve.

He slipped into the shadows and back out behind Mingxia. What fools. Sitting there, sobbing, cooing, hugging. It was almost pitiful. But.. not really.

Reaching out a hand his eyes narrowed. No, he couldn’t hesitate with this. In one fell swoop he had pierced through the chest of the elder of the two siblings. Pulling his hand back he had acquired a new, shining amethyst gem.

The look of panic in both their eyes was intoxicating. All he could do was grin as he watched No.1’s body hit the floor, the gem slowly phasing into his palm

“MINGXIA!”

Xingqiu brought up a hand to cover his mouth in utter fucking terror. His eyes widened, pupils darting from the seemingly hazy Ciel and the unconscious Mingxia. Watching her body fall he moved without thinking, catching it right before it hit the floor.

His hands shook, the blood that dripped from her chest onto them sending chills through his veins.

“MINGXIA WAKE UP! SISTER!” He cried, “M-Mingixa.. Mingxia..”

His terror quickly turned to sorrow and fight or flight- and subconsciously, his body chose flight. Moving only on adrenaline he picked up the body of his sister and quickly ran out those damn apartment doors. To where? He.. he wasn’t sure. Maybe No.2 could help! Or uh.. No.3? He wasn't sure.. god it all hurt.

Why would Ciel do that?.. Why would he hurt Mingxia? Weren’t they all friends? So.. why?!

And that’s when it hit him. That boy he saw her with. The demon. He could ask for his help. He’d gather everyone he could to help her. But for now, just one person would do. His thoughts were so scattered it felt as though he’d explode.

—•—

Running through the dimmed streets of Shinjuku was one of the most distressed boys in town. In his arms the body of a beautiful yet soulless woman. His elder sister, Mingxia Fei.

No matter what she always protected him. She always took care of him. She was always on his side. She tried her best for him..

Did he take that for granted? Did he fall into such a pool of selfishness to the point where he’d forgotten all she’d done for him?

The emerald stone engraved in his hand flickered with light as he ran, tears forming at the edges of his eyes. They clouded his vision, blurring the beaming street lights from view. His lungs ached, they felt so tight and dampened.

Even so his throat remained hoarse and dry. But that couldn’t stop him now. He had to get help. Someone- something- anyone! Just.. some sort of sign they’d be okay. Some sort of sign she’d be okay.

The tears from before dared to spill now, dripping from his cheeks to his chin as he ran.

He could no longer make out anything ahead of him but blurry lights and shadows. He wailed. Long, strained sobs escaped his throat.

He was in sheer agony.

In a small bakery was a girl dressed in an oversized red hoodie and skirt, and as she walked out with a chocolate croissant in hand she would soon find said treat on the floor.

The brunette blinked, confusion taking over. She looked from the baked good to what had caused it. A little boy.. or.. girl? A.. person- sobbing. In his arms..

An unconscious woman?!..

“Hey!.. What’s wrong bud? Are you okay?” She knelt down to his level, “Talk to me bud, c’mon, let’s get you taken care of..”
